WASHINGTON - Just as Mitt Romney and other Republicans had cut into the Democrats' advantage with female voters, a tea party-backed Senate candidate's awkward remark - that if rape leads to pregnancy it's "something God intended" - has propelled the emotional issue of abortion back to the political forefront. It's put GOP candidates in tight races, from the presidential candidate on down, on the defensive.
Divisive social issues are hardly what most GOP candidates want to be discussing in the few days remaining until elections largely hinging on jobs and the economy. Almost immediately after Richard Mourdock's comment, Republican candidates distanced themselves from the Indiana state treasurer - though by varying degrees.
The Romney campaign said Wednesday that the presidential nominee disagreed with Mourdock but stood by his endorsement of the Senate candidate. There were no plans to drop a Romney testimonial ad for Mourdock that began airing in Indiana on Monday.
On Tuesday night, Mourdock was asked during the closing minutes of a debate with Donnelly whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said.
Said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul: "We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him."
Reaction was quick from Republican senators and candidates rejecting Mourdock's statement.
Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, struggling to hold onto his seat against a challenge from Democrat Elizabeth Warren, said he was "a pro-choice Republican and that's not what I believe and I disagree with what he said." Pressed on his support for Mourdock's candidacy, Brown said that was up to Indiana voters.
Connecticut Republican Linda McMahon, bidding for the Senate seat there, called Mourdock's remarks "highly inappropriate and offensive. They do not reflect my beliefs as a woman or a pro-choice candidate."
New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who had planned to campaign with Mourdock in Indiana, canceled her appearance.
At a news conference Wednesday, Mourdock stood by his statement but suggested he had been misunderstood.
"I think that God can see beauty in every life," Mourdock said. "Certainly, I did not intend to suggest that God wants rape, that God pushes people to rape, that God wants to support or condone evil in any way."
The Obama campaign said the president found Mourdock's comments "outrageous and demeaning to women," and it contended they were "a reminder that a Republican Congress working with a Republican President Mitt Romney would feel that women should not be able to make choices about their own health care."

Post-Game Quote Sheet: U.S. Men's National Team Following Its 3-0 Win Over Poland
March 26, 2008
U.S. Head Coach BOB BRADLEY, on the game: "I thought that in the first half we were strong in the center of the field. It was a difficult match. We always knew that the pitch wasn't going to be in the best condition. For us to win that battle in the middle of the field was very important. I think that, combined with the strong play in the center of defense, those players formed an important backbone in our team tonight."

Hey, you guys should collect scorecards from the games!! this one should have been much easier than you made it out to be. Scorecards from each of these years are still quite affordable. spoiler alert, they published a reprint of the 1962 scorecard. Make sure the older ones say Neely printing on them.
Hey, Paul, just curious: do you collect used/filled-in scorecards, or blank ones?

Clean humor, real story of the lesson inpatience
My early years were spent growing up in and around Athens, Kentucky, the last of 10 children. The emotions expressed in my books are of my personal trials and experiences. In addition, much of what I have written concerns the trials and experiences of people with whom I speak every day. I have found that empathy is one of my best tools in capturing what others are feeling and allows me to write to fit many needs.

1) Yes. Its a nice advt - we can also call it as an innovative advt. Not sure if everyone would like it. Nevertheless, it tries to sell its product viz., "IDEA" mobile service by addressing social issues.
2) The large scale growth in use of mobile phones have helped the lower strata of the society. There are studies which explain the economic benefits that have arisen out of the use of mobile phones. There is an interesting research article titled "Mobile Phones and Economic Development: Evidence From the Fishing Industry in India" (By Reuben Abraham, Director, ISB School of Business) which can be accessed at http://itidjournal.org/itid/article/viewDownloadInterstitial/241/111.
3) Whether it is 545 million cell phones or somewhat lesser number of people having more than 1 SIM card etc the fact is that it has grown to a large number and by removing information asymmetry it has improved the economic situation for the fishing community. To that extent, it has contributed positively. More importantly, in a country like India with a significant illiterate population which cannot read and write, mobile phones help in breaking barriers - as everyone can "speak". Thus, it aids in the communication process and helps the lower strata in their livelihood issues.

The choice for whom to vote this November is very clear. Do we believe in liberal big government, more regulations and redistribution of personal wealth, or do we believe in a conservative limited government, less regulation and people deciding how best to invest in their own future? Through the last three years it has become painfully clear what Obama meant when he promised to fundamentally transform America.
This administration is in the process of shutting down the coal industry, the heart and soul of the economy of our state, unemployment is at 8.1 percent even though millions of others have given up looking for a job and the national debt has gone up a trillion dollars a year for the last three years to an astronomical $16 trillion. Forty cents of every dollar spent is borrowed to pay for this president's transformation of America into a country that is just another nation at the table of nations. If you were to lay $100 bills flat and stack them they would be 640 miles high to equal just one trillion. This debt is financed primarily by the sale of bonds to China and other less friendly foreign countries at historically low interest rates.
More and more West Virginians are realizing that today's liberal Democratic Party has left them, and they are leaving the party. Here in Wood County alone the Democrats have gone from a lead of 2,800 registered voters in the early 1990s to trailing registered Republicans by 700 today.
Obama is so unpopular in West Virginia that 41 percent of Democrats voted for a Texas felon while another 11 percent did not vote for president this May primary election. The Democrats had to mandate at their convention this past summer that all their officeholders and party officials publicly support Obama.
It was Hillary Clinton who told us in the 1990s, "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" and now it's Obama who tells hard-working Americans "you didn't build that, someone else did." If your children and grandchildren have a successful future then they will become a target if they are overly successful. Class warfare, young against the elderly, rich verses poor, gender inequity and race baiting are all that today's liberal Democratic Party has to offer.

Mortgage payments. Utility bills. Stuff for the kids. Groceries. These expenses relentlessly come in, month after month. But after you've paid your monthly bills, do you ever wonder why your income doesn't leave you with a favorable outcome? Even if you're not an extravagant spender, you feel like your bank account is left with an empty feeling inside. Where does all the money go?
It's time to take control of your household budget. The beginning of the New Year is the perfect time to start fresh and track your spending habits using your own home budget binder. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a new couple or young adults starting out on their own. Create your command center When you've got a whirlwind of documents to manage, make sure you keep them all together in one convenient place. You'll never lose your bills, invoices and other important financial statements when you store them in the strong and durable Avery Heavy-Duty Binder. Keep track of your documents inside by creating separate sections for each category with Avery Durable Ready Index Dividers, designed to last longer and withstand frequent referencing. One idea is to identify each section by month using the Jan-Dec Tab set. Or, you might want to organize your expenses by type: home, utilities, insurance, credit cards, etc. using the 8- or 10-Tab set, and customize your table of contents quickly and easily with free Avery Templates. Capture your spending habits Next, you'll need to find out where all the money's going. In 5 Ways to Jump-Start Your Household Budget by Soni Sangha, Erin Lozano, co-founder of the online financial planning tool Green Sherpa offers this suggestion for tracking your spending: take a month to track every single dollar you spend. That way, you'll be able to determine your spending pattern. From there, put your expenses into two categories: one is for non-negotiables, or expenses that cannot be cut such as your mortgage, utilities and insurance. The other category will contain everything else. Track and categorize your expenses from the first month in an easy-to-read spreadsheet. For your second month, use the first month as a guideline and aim not to exceed your first month's expenses, while you continue to track. Get serious with your efforts Once you get in the habit of routinely monitoring your spending, you'll be able to recognize where the money's going. In fact, you might want to get your whole family involved. Start with conversations on how everyone can do their part to watch their spending, and use your home budget binder as a workbook for the family to follow. When you track your expenses, you'll have a better idea of where you can afford to cut costs and learn how to buckle down on saving. And with careful monitoring, you should be able to find ways you can trim your expenses and create a healthy home budget. Before you know it, keeping an eye on your budget may eventually give you the favorable outcome you've been looking for. |

Super Mario Energy Drink: Awesome!
Apparently there's a Super Mario energy drink out and I couldn't be happier about it. It's called Super Mario Bros Power Up! Energy Drink, which is a pretty awesome name, not to mention a great play on 'Power Ups'. It comes as an 8.4 oz can of blue-raspberry tasting deliciousness that's sure to have you bouncing off the walls and banging Princess Peach for hours. Unless it has some of that mushroom that Mario's holding in it. Which, based on his eyes, I'd say it does. In which case you've got to be careful with the stuff. The last time I ate a mushroom that looked like that I drove my girlfriend's car into a creek because a cow standing in the road told me to. It even knew my name, and I'd never met that cow before in my life. True story.

Cl Concentration Dependence of Photovoltage Generation by Halorhodopsin from Halobacterium salinarum Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 4, 1 October 2002, Pages 1749-1759 Eiro Muneyuki, Chie Shibazaki, Yoichiro Wada, Manabu Yakushizin and Hiroyuki Ohtani Abstract The photovoltage generation by halorhodopsin from Halobacterium salinarum (shR) was examined by adsorbing shR-containing membranes onto a thin polymer film. The photovoltage consisted of two major components: one with a sub-millisecond range time constant and the other with a millisecond range time constant with different amplitudes, as previously reported. These components exhibited different Cl− concentration dependencies (0.1–9M). We found that the time constant for the fast component was relatively independent of the Cl− concentration, whereas the time constant for the slow component increased sigmoidally at higher Cl− concentrations. The fast and the slow processes were attributed to charge (Cl−) movements within the protein and related to Cl− ejection, respectively. The laser photolysis studies of shR-membrane suspensions revealed that they corresponded to the formation and the decay of the N intermediate. The photovoltage amplitude of the slow component exhibited a distorted bell-shaped Cl− concentration dependence, and the Cl− concentration dependence of its time constant suggested a weak and highly cooperative Cl−-binding site(s) on the cytoplasmic side (apparent KD of ∼5M and Hill coefficient ≥5). The Cl− concentration dependence of the photovoltage amplitude and the time constant for the slow process suggested a competition between spontaneous relaxation and ion translocation. The time constant for the relaxation was estimated to be >100ms. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (388 kb) |
Light Gradients in Spherical Photosynthetic Vesicles Biophysical Journal, Volume 75, Issue 1, 1 July 1998, Pages 124-133 G. Paillotin, W. Leibl, J. Gapiński, J. Breton and A. Dobek Abstract Light-gradient photovoltage measurements were performed on EDTA-treated thylakoids and on osmotically swollen thylakoids (blebs), both of spherical symmetry but of different sizes. In the case of EDTA vesicles, a negative polarity (due to the normal light gradient) was observed in the blue range of the absorption spectrum, and a positive polarity, corresponding to an inverse light gradient, was observed at λ=530 and λ=682nm. The sign of the photovoltage polarity measured in large blebs (swollen thylakoids) is the same as that obtained for whole chloroplasts, although differences in the amplitudes are observed. An approach based on the use of polar coordinates was adapted for a theoretical description of these membrane systems of spherical symmetry. The light intensity distribution and the photovoltage in such systems were calculated. Fits to the photovoltage amplitudes, measured as a function of light wavelength, made it possible to derive the values of the dielectric constant of the protein, ϵs=3, and the refractive index of the photosynthetic membrane for light propagating perpendicular and parallel to the membrane surface, nt=1.42 and nn=1.60, respectively. The latter two values determine the birefringence of the biological membrane, Δn=nn−nt=0.18. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (340 kb) |
High-Performance Photovoltaic Behavior of Oriented Purple Membrane Polymer Composite Films Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 4, 1 April 2003, Pages 2502-2507 Liangmin Zhang, Tingying Zeng, Kristie Cooper and Richard O. Claus Abstract The photovoltaic behavior of films in which bacteriorhodopsin molecules are embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix has been investigated by using both pulsed laser excitation and regular light illumination. Response times as short as milliseconds, photocurrents as great as 120μA/cm2, and photovoltages as large as 3.8V have been obtained. A theoretical model has been developed and used to extract several physical parameters and fit the experimental results. Some important intrinsic parameters have been obtained. Theoretical results indicate that the average displacement of the excited protons is on the order of several tens of microns. Other curve fits show that photocurrent and photovoltage increase linearly with external field, but increase exponentially with flash power. These theoretical models and results can be extended to other kinds of photoactive polymeric materials. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (161 kb) |

Time-resolved photovoltage measurements on destacked photosystem II membranes from spinach with the primary quinone electron acceptor QA either singly or doubly reduced have been performed to monitor the time evolution of the primary radical pair P680+Pheo−. The maximum transient concentration of the primary radical pair is about five times larger and its decay is about seven times slower with doubly reduced compared with singly reduced QA. The possible biological significance of these differences is discussed. On the basis of a simple reversible reaction scheme, the measured apparent rate constants and relative amplitudes allow determination of sets of molecular rate constants and energetic parameters for primary reactions in the reaction centers with doubly reduced QA as well as with oxidized or singly reduced QA. The standard free energy difference ΔG° between the charge-separated state P680+Pheo− and the equilibrated excited state (ChlNP680)* was found to be similar when QA was oxidized or doubly reduced before the flash (∼−50 meV). In contrast, single reduction of QA led to a large change in ΔG° (∼+40 meV), demonstrating the importance of electrostatic interaction between the charge on QA and the primary radical pair, and providing direct evidence that the doubly reduced QA is an electrically neutral species, i.e., is doubly protonated. A comparison of the molecular rate constants shows that the rate of charge recombination is much more sensitive to the change in ΔG° than the rate of primary charge separation.

middle buster problem fixed!Posted several weeks ago about how to mount a middle buster on my cub somehow. My grandfather had a C16 mounted on his Cub for garden work & I wanted mine set up just like his used to be. Well, I got a 16" middle buster set up on my tool bar & it works pretty good. Good news though, finally found my C16! Good price also. I figured I'd be years looking for one close enough to the house and at a price I could afford. Got Cub #2 sitting at home with the manifold and valve cover off soaking so I can free it up. Get it running, I'll just have to decide which one to mount it on!
Re: middle buster problem fixed!Very nice! Ive been looking for one of those for a long time as well!
Re: middle buster problem fixed!This one still has alot of paint left on it and almost NO wear. Has only been used enough to polish the paint off of the blade. I know what I paid, and prices of about 2 others I saw on eBay and a sale ad in Texas, but what are everyone's opinion on the $ value of this plow? I know it is verrry hard to even locate one, especially in this condition. This one will not leave my hands for sentimental reasons, but I would like your opinions. Thanks

Review Asus PadFone Smartphone
Mixed double. An Android smartphone and tablet in one - will that work? Asus is the first manufacturer to release a combined solution, dubbed PadFone, which is to kill both birds with one stone on the market. We also ask ourselves what this mixed double is capable of in view of the upcoming market launch of the PadFone 2. Can the smartphone and its tablet casing score as a power duo?
The idea is not new. In 2011, Motorola released a similar smartphone called Atrix on the market. Inserted in a netbook dock, it mutated to a netbook or notebook. Asus goes a step further with its PadFone. While Motorola's Atrix merely docked, the PadFone enters a symbiotic relationship with its partner, so to speak. It disappears in the tablet's casing in only a few steps. The latter would be downright "brainless" without its counterpart. First the smartphone's 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor brings the tablet's 10.1-inch screen to life. At first glance, the smartphone does not only look good as the tablet's "brain" though. The AMOLED screen's slim pocket size of 4.3-inches is also compelling. Our review will reveal more about the inner values. We will also deal with the question whether the mobile duo is really as economic and handy as the manufacturer touts.
With dimensions of 128 x 65 x 9 millimeters, the PadFone is a fairly slim mobile companion that is comfortable to hold and features a pleasant feel. The screen is surrounded by a brushed, matte plastic shell in a subtle metallic look. Many fine rills in the form of concentric circles are etched on the surface. That not only looks elegant and prevents fingerprints, as known from the iPhone 4's glass rear, but the surface's rough texture also has a pleasant feel to it. Also, the rounded edges contribute to the pleasant feel as well as good fit in your hand and at your ear when phoning. The PadFone is a lightweight among the smartphones with approximately 130 grams, including the battery. Bulging pockets will not be an issue.
The feel and look of the PadFone's Station is very similar. The tablet is not one of the lightest in its class with a weight of 724 grams at a size of 273 x 176.9 x 13.55 millimeters - excluding the PadFone "brain". The agreeably roughened surface on the device's rear exhibits the same color and texture as on the PadFone and ensures a pleasant feel when handling it. The casing makes an overall high-end impression. It is rigid and only dents slightly up to barely noticeable. It also sports rounded edges and is surrounded by a brushed aluminum bezel. The slot for the PadFone is on the Station's back. It is easy to open with one finger and the upward opening cover reveals the PadFone's "bay". It is then simply inserted and connects to the Station via micro USB and micro HDMI as well as a three pin supply port. The tablet is ready for use when the cover is closed. However, a minor drawback is that the tablet permanently rocks while typing or browsing on it when it is placed on a table. The back is not even due to the PadFone's compartment.
When we speak of the present duo's connectivity, we particularly focus on the PadFone. As mentioned, the Station is basically no more and no less than a battery-powered touchscreen without its clever partner. So, let us have a closer look at the driving force of this duo.
The PadFone features a fourth generation 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor. This equipment ensures a solid performance even in connection with the PadFone Station. An Adreno 225 graphics processor provides an appealing picture quality, especially alongside the Super AMOLED screen installed in the PadFone.
The connectivity is not vast. The PadFone sports a micro USB and micro HDMI port in the upper left edge. Phoning with a connected charging cord is a bit awkward due to its lateral positioning, but this is owing to the Station's slot mechanism. An audio jack is located on the device's upper center edge.
The PadFone also sports a micro SD (SDHC / SDXC) card reader for cards up to 32 GB. Thus, pictures or music can be quickly transferred on the PadFone. In addition to the interfaces necessary for connecting to the smartphone, the Station features a 40 pin connector for recharging and an audio jack.
The PadFone uses Android 4, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. We extensively described its functions in numerous reviews before. However, the DynamicDisplay technology in the PadFone's software configuration is worth mentioning. It automatically transfers the PadFone's content to the tablet as soon as it is inserted in the Station and resizes it. According to the manufacturer, active applications remember the place where they were stopped for the switch and seamlessly resume at that point on the tablet. Internet browsing or a running game does not have to be interrupted. Our practical test shows that it works. However, the Station apparently choked on the inserted PadFone every now and again. Reinserting the device was occasionally necessary to continue the running application.
Communication & GPS
Connections are built up within seconds via Wi-Fi. On the go, the PadFone transmits via the fast HSPA+ standard. Data can be transmitted to other Bluetooth devices wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 over short distances. Initial localization is accomplished in roughly 30 seconds via the built-in GPS receiver. Reception is stable even indoors - providing that you are close to a window.
Cameras & Multimedia
An 8 megapixel camera is installed on the PadFone's rear. Asus left two recesses for the lens and flash in the slot's rear cover so that it can be used when it is inserted in the Station. The camera does a good job. The colors look a bit pale and the pictures look a bit overexposed, but they are quite focused. Regardless of the picture quality, the PadFone Station definitely belongs to the better tablet cameras due to the 8 megapixel camera.
Both the phone and the Station also sport a front-facing camera, which is located at the screen bezel's upper edge and features a resolution of one megapixel. The picture quality is, as expected, not worth mentioning. The pictures lack focus and saturated colors. Beyond that, they are extremely noisy. Nevertheless, the quality is acceptable for video calls, e.g. via Skype.
In addition to the PSU, one charging cord for the PadFone and Station, instructions and warranty notes, Asus includes a silver pen. The PadFone's stylus is not only an input device, but turns out to be a headset when looking at it closer. Thus, phoning is possible even when the PadFone is inserted in the Station. If the user deems the pen to be too odd as a transmitter/receiver, it is possible to use the included in-earphones. An optional keyboard, dubbed Station Dock, is available for the PadFone. Thus, it is possible to build a netbook using all three components. The Station Dock costs 149 Euros (~$190).
We would have appreciated a second PSU. The user will have to either recharge the Station and the PadFone separately and time-shifted or connect the PadFone to the PSU while it is in the Station. The possibility to separately recharge both devices in different places - for example, one at home and the other at the workplace - would certainly be an additional plus in terms of comfort.
Asus includes a two year pick-up & return warranty on the PadFone and Station.
Owing to the Adreno 225 graphics processor installed in the PadFone, up-to-date games like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit or Raging Thunder 2 run smoothly. Stutters are a rare thing and so insignificant that nothing stands in the way of unadulterated gaming fun. This is not least due to the highly responsive gyroscope. We can recommend the PadFone as a game console for on the go.
Input Devices & Controls
We noticed that the PadFone Station's touchscreen often takes a short break, i.e. it does not display inputs right away. The controls could also be a bit more accurate. The small partner's touchscreen is not much faster, at least subjectively. The smaller unit also seems to be a bit faster than its bigger counterpart when rotating the screen content by 180 degrees.
The PadFone's power button is in the upper right and the volume rocker is on the upper right edge. This is the exact opposite on the Station. Here, both buttons are on the device's left in the same order. The Station's headphone jack is also on the upper left edge; it is in the top center on the PadFone.
Overall, the mobile duo made a good impression in terms of controls and handling. The device only occasionally had problems when inserting the PadFone into the Station. According to the manufacturer, the PadFone's screen content is to be transmitted to the tablet immediately while in operation owing to Asus' DynamicDisplay technology. However, it sometimes seems as if both units do not get along with each other, despite their relationship, and the user only sees a black screen with a rotating, spinning wheel. When reinserting was successful, the screen's content and open applications are, as promised, immediately visible and usable.
The tablet features a 10.1-inch, IPS, Gorilla Glass screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The maximum brightness ascertained at nine measuring points is between 255 and 284 cd/m2. It is a good average for this device category. It lacks a bit of brightness for outdoor use. The reflective surface also contributes unfavorably. It is not really a pleasure to use the mobile companion outdoors. However, the viewing angle stability is acceptable.
Information Gossen Mavo-Monitor Maximum: 157 cd/m²Average: 151.9 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 93 % Center on Battery: 151 cd/m² Black: 0 cd/m² Contrast: ∞:1 |
Asus installs a 4.3-inch, scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 960x540 pixels into the PadFone. Razor-sharp pictures and an exemplary black value of virtually zero speak for themselves. We ascertained a maximum brightness between 146 and 157 cd/m2 at the nine measuring points.
Although the tablet is better according to the measured rates, the PadFone seems to have a much higher brightness. The smartphone benefits from the Super AMOLED screen and the consequently good black value that is seen favorably when dark colors are rendered.
The heart of Asus' PadFone is Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 dual-core CPU with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz. The device sports 1 GB of working memory and the Adreno 225 graphics chip. The PadFone supplies an average memory capacity with 16 GB of eMMC flash memory. Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, usually ran smoothly with the exception of the above mentioned minor stutters and interruptions. You quickly run risk of comparing apples with oranges when you want to compare the PadFone with real tablets in view of its dual functionality. Strictly speaking, the combo is a smartphone with an expandable screen.
To stay fair, we will first take a look at the smartphone competition. Here, the PadFone has good cards. The PadFone achieved a score of 3141 points in the performance benchmark using Smartbench 2012 and, for example, left HTC's One S upper range smartphone behind (2975 points). The PadFone has to give up quickly when compared with full-blown tablets, such as Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1. Sticking to Smartbench 2012, the gap becomes obvious: the leader, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1, reaped in 4055 points here. The performance ranking in Geekbench 2 is also good. The PadFone reached 1525 points and is not at all far behind the leader, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 (1859 points). The installed memory's performance lags a bit in a direct comparison with contenders like Fujitsu's Stylistic M532 or Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1. Androbench 3 recorded that the SSD's read and write speeds in random mode were only average. On the other hand, the read speed in sequential mode was impressive, but the write rate proved to be rather slow.
We cannot complain about the PadFone's temperature behavior. Even multi-hour full load did not cause the smartphone's casing to exceed 41 °C at any of the measuring points. It did not even reach body temperature with a maximum of 33.3 °C during normal use. The PadFone Station only got lukewarm with a temperature of 35.1 °C during full load. A maximum temperature of 34 °C is likely in routine use. The PSU also never reached a critical range with a maximum of just below 39 °C.
Max. Load |

Maximum: 41 °C Average: 34.2 °C | Maximum: 37 °C Average: 33.6 °C |
SonicMaster's stereo speakers in the Station are on the left and right front as well as on the rear. Consequently, they emit sound in both directions. The bass could be a bit deeper. However, the overall sound quality is good and balanced for a tablet. It is recommendable to use headphones for pure music enjoyment. The same is true for the PadFone, where it is also advisable to connect headphones.
Battery Life
Power Consumption
The PadFone's 1520 mAh lithium ion battery was quickly drained without support from its big counterpart. It first turns into a long-lasting device alongside the 6600 mAh lithium battery in the PadFone Station. It is positive that the smartphone is recharged via the Station's battery when using the tablet. We ascertained an idle power consumption of 0.5 W on the PadFone using minimum brightness and disabled Wi-Fi. In maximum brightness, enabled Wi-Fi and the high-performance profile, the device consumed 2.5 W when idling. This rate climbed to 3.8 W during full processor load and 4.1 W when CPU + GPU are fully loaded in the Stability Test.

Idle | 0.5 / 1.5 / 2.5 Watt |
Load | 3.8 / 4.1 Watt |

med: ,
max: Voltcraft VC 940 |
Battery Runtime
With a maximum runtime of 10 hours and 11 minutes in the Reader's test, using minimum brightness, the PadFone is not one of the longest lasting members of its kind. For example, HTC's One S lasted for 19 hours in this test. The battery is drained after a good seven hours in the realistic Wi-Fi browsing test using a brightness of 150 cd/m2. The battery only managed 2 hours and 5 minutes in full load. When the smartphone was inserted in the tablet, the Wi-Fi battery runtime increased to 16 hours because it is then fed by an additional big battery.
Idle (without WLAN, min brightness) | 10h 11min | |
WiFi Surfing | 7h 02min | |
Load (maximum brightness) | 2h 05min | |
Game, set and match for the mixed double? Asus' PadFone definitely won the one or other rally in our review. For example, the good-looking and pleasant-to-the-touch exterior. In return, the PadFone does not get a point for the Station screen's outdoor suitability and viewing angle stability. However, user-friendliness is well-implemented: open the cover, slide in the smartphone and the tablet is ready for use. Data transmission is smooth - when it works at first try. So, can the smartphone-Station combo replace a full-blown tablet? This question remains unanswered. It ultimately depends on the user's requirements. If you need more power and memory capacity, you will unlikely be happy with the hybrid solution. However, if you always want your mobile data at hand in one device, the PadFone might be a welcome innovation for you. Potential buyers should perhaps wait for the market launch of the PadFone 2. Who knows what the new PadFone scion will have up its sleeve?

More copies of this ISBNEvergreen Original, #344: The Visit: A Tragi-Comedyby Friedrich Duerrenmatt
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:'The Visit' is a consummate, alarming Durrenmatt blend of hilarity, horror, and vertigo.
Synopsis:Dürrenmatt once wrote of himself: I can best be understood if one grasps grotesqueness," and The Visit is a consummate, alarming Dürrenmatt blend of hilarity, horror, and vertigo. The play takes place somewhere in Central Europe" and tells of an elderly millionairess who, merely on the promise of her millions, swiftly turns a depressed area into a boom town. But the condition attached to her largesse, which the locals learn of only after they are enmeshed, is murder. Dürrenmatt has fashioned a macabre and entertaining parable that is a scathing indictment of the power of greed.

First Crushes
I got an e-mail recently from Al Bethke of Al's Ramblings regarding fantasy baseball. He mentioned that he names his teams after attractive actresses. From what he wrote me, and from perusing The Uncouth Sloth website frequently (where he mentions attractive actresses quite often), I thought that this could make an interesting and fun topic for me to discuss.
So today, I am going to discuss nine actresses that I really, really liked when I was in elementary and high school. At the time, I probably wasn't smart enough to know what it was, but it was certainly a crush. So, let's get to my list. I would love to hear your thoughts, and maybe more names of the actresses that you liked growing up (ladies, you can e-mail me your thoughts on actors too, if you like), so after reading this, send me an e-mail and let me know what you think.
The name of Al's most recent fantasy team is Danielle Fishel. You remember her from her role of Topanga Lawrence on the excellent show Boy Meets World. Now, she is the youngest member of my list. Actually Boy Meets World didn't even air until my first year of college, but it was so good. Of course, she was the girlfriend of Cory Matthews (played by Ben Savage) for the eight year run of the show. I really liked her, and I have always said that if I ever have a daughter, I want her name (probably middle name, huh?) to be Topanga! And, well, she was always pretty cute, especially in the early years. Danielle will soon turn 23 years old. Since Boy Meets World concluded in 2000, she has been in a couple of movies that I had never heard of.
I frequently watched Punky Brewster. I was never a huge fan of Soliel Moon Frye (although now I am!), but I really liked her friend Cherie Johnson. Interestingly, her character's name was exactly the same as her real name. Of course, she, and I, were just 9 when the show started, so maybe that was planned. I thought she was cute then. After Punky rapped up in 1988, she went on to play Maxine on Family Matters, another excellent show, but I didn't find her as cute in it. The 28 year old has not been in a TV show or movie since Family Matters.
She is probably going to be the least known name on this list, but Lisa Dean Ryan played Wanda, the girlfriend of Doogie Howser, M.D. Having a girlfriend was one of the many monumental things affecting Doogie as a teenage doctor. I think "Wanda" was worth any problems!! Ryan is now 31 years old.
Remember the show ALF? Of course you don't, but you know ALF from those stupid commercials with Mike Piazza… something about a dollar, I think! Anyway, ALF was on TV from 1986-1990 and was one of the first shows I remember watching. Anyway, Andrea Elson played the daughter on the show, Lynn Tanner. She was a cutie in the cutesy, teeny-bopper role. After ALF, she was on a couple of shows that didn't last more than a couple episodes. Then in 1998, she made a two show appearance on The Young and The Restless and hasn't been in a movie or TV show since. Andrea Elson just recently turned 35 years old. She has been married for 10 years and has a seven year old daughter.
I really liked the show Charles in Charge, and no, not because Scott Baio starred in it, or because it had such a catchy theme song, "Charles in Charge of my days, and my nights, and you see, I want, I want Charles in charge of me.." OK, it was partially because of the theme song. But the main reason was because of Jamie Powell, one of the kids that Charles helped raise and took care of. Jamie was played by Nicole Eggert. She was way too cute for words, the long blond hair and those eyes! Anyway, she was on Charles in Charge until it ended in 1990. She turned the cuteness into a role as a Baywatch Babe (with further assistance from some surgery!) where she played Summer for two years. The 32 year old has remained quite busy ever since the Baywatch stint ended in 1994. She has been in a couple dozen movies, many TV movies and no big feature film successes, but she has stayed employed. Fellas, she was married in 2000 and has a child. Sorry!
Staci Keanan first entered my world (OK, my 'tv fantasy world'... Didn't LFO sing a song about falling 'in love with a girl on TV'? UPDATE - I picked out my LFO CD and Track #2 is 'Girl on TV.') when she appeared as the daughter of both Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan on My Two Dads. I loved that show, but it only lasted a year. I guess that Reiser guy ended up Mad About … Something. Anyway, Staci ended up being on the show Step by Step from 1991 through 1998 where she changed quite a bit, especially her hair, but it was ALL good! Since Step by Step ended, she has stayed out of television and the movies. However, this year, she is in a movie called Stolen Poem. Did you know that the lovely 28 year old (who is actually just over two weeks older than me) was given the name Anastasia Sagorsky at birth. I like Staci Keanan better, but I think I could like her even if I had to type out or spell her given name all the time!
Alyssa Milano has millions of fans around the world; fans that love her because of her role on Charmed, or from her days on Melrose Place, or maybe because of those outfits from the phone commercials. And that's cool. But, you can only be a true Alyssa Milano fan if you started liking her in the early days of Who's the Boss? when she was 12 and a tomboy who was tough and rugged and just wanted to play baseball. To be able to have seen her potential back them makes me feel like I should be a talent scout. It's hard to believe that the Bronx native is 30 years old. All I know is that Florida Marlins righty Carl Pavano is a lucky man, and it has nothing to do with winning a World Series Championship last fall!
DANICA McKELLAR
"Winnie" Cooper. How cute was she on The Wonder Years? Danica McKellar and Fred Savage combined to make such a cute couple. I remember watching the episode where they kissed for the first time. It was a huge event, and I had to watch that episode with my parents. I was so embarrassed, yet, at the same time was so jealous of Fred Savage!! Oh my goodness, those eyes were amazing! The Wonder Years concluded in 1993, and Danica went to college. She graduated from UCLA with a BA in Mathematics in June of 1998. While there, she had a paper published in Britain's "Journal of Physics" called "Mathematics & General" which provided a mathematical proof for a theorem dealing with magnetism in two dimensions. OK, I love her! I don't know what that even means, but I am totally impressed! (I was a math major until I got to my senior year of college and took a class called Real Analysis where we spent the whole time proving proven proofs and theorems. Let's just say that after getting a couple of 17%'s on the first two tests, it ended my math major dreams!) So, her intelligence totally moves her up this list! But, I digress. Since her graduation, she has stayed pretty busy with roles in a bunch of TV series and movies. She has lent her voice to many projects (which makes sense because 'how cute is her voice?') including King of the Hill a few times. I don't know her marital or dating status, but if anyone does, and you happen to know her, please mention this site to her and help me out, k?
Yes, I know that she removed the 'Amber' from her name in recent years so that she would be taken more seriously as an actress, but I am writing about the girls that I always thought were cute when I was growing up and at that time the Amber was still there. Saved by the Bell was one of the greatest TV shows of all time and had such a great cast; Zach, A.C., Screech, Jessie, Lisa and of course, the amazing Kelly Kapowski. I would watch four episodes of this show every day in high school. And yes, Tiffani Thiessen was a big reason for my enjoyment of the show. Another thing that you may find interesting is that these kids went through high school as I did. They were freshman when I was a freshman. They graduated the year I graduated. Then came Saved by the Bell: The College Years, which I watched when I was in college (although it didn't last the four years, just one actually!). I had never watched Beverly Hills, 90210 until I heard that Tiffani was going to be on it. But, once she appeared, I became completely hooked on the show, never missing an episode. She had cut her hair and ummm, developed, and played a character, Valerie Malone, who was completely the opposite of sweet Kelly. Interestingly, I also graduated from college the same year that the characters on 90210 graduated and entered the workplace at the same time. When 90210 ended its eleven season run, Tiffani was involved in many TV and movie projects. She was a star of Fastlane, a show that lasted a year on Fox, but she did kiss Jaime Pressley on it, so that's cool! Most recently, she was added to the cast of NBC's Good Morning, Miami. She is #1 on my list for a lot of reasons, other than her incredible attractiveness. It sounds very corny, but it almost seems like we did grow up together through the shows she was on. Thiessen just recently turned 30.
So there you have it. A list of nine actresses that helped me get through my adolescence. It really is in no particular order, as they appeared throughout a 10-12 year period and each were important. What do you think? Do you agree with my selections? Who would you add to the list? I'd love to hear from you. E-mail me.
The Timberwolves did exactly what I feared they would do last night. After the huge victory on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs, I had hoped they wouldn't let down against a weaker Denver Nuggets team on the road. The Wolves demolished the Nuggets on Sunday, so I'm sure a let down was inevitable, but it is just frustrating/disappointing, wondering how it is even possible.
Well, the answer may just be as simple as Carmelo Anthony. The Nuggets star rookie was shut down on Sunday, but last night made 13 of 15 free throws on his way to 25 points. The diminutive Earl Boykins added 21 points. The Wolves on the other hand did not get typical performances from a couple of their 'sure-things.' Kevin Garnett was spectacular as usual scoring 24 points and grabbing 14 boards. Fred Hoiberg and Wally Szczerbiak both came to play off the bench. Hoiberg shot 6-8 (including three 3 pointers) on his way to 17 points and 8 rebounds. Szczerbiak was 6-9 from the field for 14 points. However, Latrell Sprewell scored just 9 points on 4-16 from the field. Sam Cassell fought foul trouble and turnovers until he fouled out with just 6 points and 6 assists and 7 turnovers in 28 minutes.
This performance makes Tuesday's win even bigger. With the loss, the Wolves fall to 49-23, but still 2 ½ games ahead of the Spurs in the Midwest Division. This weekend, the Wolves travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers (Friday) and the Clippers (Saturday).
Any thoughts on the Wolves? Send me an e-mail.
Apparently those of you who actually have Victory Sports One were able to watch the Twins lose to the Pittsburgh Pirates last night in Grapefruit League action live from Ft. Myers. I wish I could have seen it. But, like most of you, I don't get Victory either!
The Twins got five good innings from starter Carlos Silva. He gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He also struck out four Pirate hitters. Carlos Pulido, fighting for a spot in the Twins bullpen, came in for the 6th and did anything but help his cause. In the inning, he gave up two hits and a walk, and three unearned runs. Pete Munro, JC Romero and Joe Nathan each pitched one shutout inning. Romero and Nathan struck out two each.
On the offensive side of things, the Twins had just seven hits and no one had more than one hit. Actually, Torii Hunter's triple was their lone extra-base hit. It did appear that the Twins went with what will probably be their everyday lineup: Shannon Stewart, Luis Rivas, Doug Mientkiewicz, Corey Koskie, Torii Hunter, Jacque Jones, Matthew Lecroy, Joe Mauer and Cristian Guzman. I'm ok with that lineup. I wish they could get more at bats for Michael Cuddyer and if Rivas struggles early, he may see a lot at 2B. I wish Justin Morneau could fit into this lineup somewhere. But you know, this is a team that I would be happy to cheer for night in and night out.
Any thoughts on the Twins as they are getting closer to having their roster set? E-mail me.
Yesterday was a not-so-good day for a couple of former Twins players. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays released Todd Jones and sent Todd Ritchie to minor league camp. Here are how some former Twins did in their Spring Training games on Wednesday (Rick Reed got shelled in a minor league game, his first appearance in a couple of weeks because of an injury. He will probably be the Pirates #5 starter, if healthy):
· Orlando Merced, DH, Pittsburgh Pirates (2-3, 2 RBI, SB)
· Brian Buchanan, 1B, San Diego Padres (2-4, 2 R, RBI)
· Dustan Mohr, RF, San Francisco Giants (1-1, 2 R, 2B)
· Greg Colbrunn, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks (1-2, RBI)
· Denny Hocking, SS, Colorado Rockies (1-3)
· Mike Lincoln, RP, St. Louis Cardinals (1 IP, 1 K)
· Matt Lawton, LF, Cleveland Indians (0-2)
· Casey Blake, 3B, Cleveland Indians (1-4)
· Jack Cressand, RP, Cleveland Indians (1 1/3 IP, 0 R)
· Paul Abbott, SP, Tampa Bay Devil Rays (5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 K)
· Quinton McCracken, RF, Seattle Mariners (1-4)
· Bobby Kielty, LF, Oakland A's (1-3)
· Chad Allen, LF, Texas Rangers (1-3)
· Danny Ardoin, C, Texas Rangers (0-3)
· Mark Redman, SP, Oakland A's (5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K)
· David McCarty, RF, Boston Red Sox (2-4, 3 RBI, 2B, 5th Spring HR)
· Javy Valentin, 1B, Cincinnati Reds (1-2)
· Warren Morris, 2B, Detroit Tigers (1-1)
· Todd Walker, 2B, Chicago Cubs (1-3, RBI)
Well, we found out last night that I am not a good guesser. I predicted that Jennifer Hudson would have been eliminated last night, with Jasmine Trias and Camille Velasco also being in the bottom three. Oops! Camille Velasco was in the bottom three, along with Matt Rogers and Diana Degarmo. Degarmo was sent back right away, so it was Velasco or Rogers going home. I liked both, however, America decided that it was Matt Rogers whose competition was complete.
I loved his charisma and sense of humor. I don't think he was a great singer, but he was very good. He should not have advanced much further, but I was surprised that he was voted out.
What did you think? Who's going to win? E-mail me.
And that is it for today. I started with a little different article than typically shows up on this site, but I think it's fun to be different once in awhile. Do you enjoy reading postings like this, or do you want baseball, baseball and only baseball? If you have any questions, comments or thoughts, please send me an e-mail. Have a great Thursday!

1) Studio Z Fitness
So what's Zumba, anyway? Owner Mary Rose Field describes it as a Latin dance fitness program, or more succintly, "an hour long dance party." Field and her colleagues work hard to make Zumba accessible to as many people as possible. For one thing, they host over 50 classes per week between their two studios. And they offer a variety of classes too, including Zumba Gold (geared towards those with lower-impact needs), Zumba tonics (for kids), and Zumba toning (incorporating light weights). But most of all, Field says, Studio Z "is very warm and welcoming... our motto at our studio is that it's all good."

Maurice "Bojangles" Blanchard Named Honorary Grand Marshall of Pride Parade
By Laura Ellis
Maurice "Bojangles" Blanchard—co-chair of Faith Leaders for Fairness and founder of the True Colors Ministry at Highland Baptist Church (and WFPL Defining Fairness interviewee)—will serve as Honorary Grand Marshall in the Kentucky Pride Parade on Friday. Reverend Blanchard was ordained last month, making him one of fewer than two dozen openly gay ministers in the U.S. Baptist Church.
Donald Taylor, executive director of the Louisville Youth Group, will march as the parade's Grand Marshall. The Kentuckiana Pride Parade and Festival begins with the parade at 8pm Friday and continues Saturday on the Belvedere from noon until 11pm.

Additional Information
Tesco goes live with food news website to allay horsemeat fears
Tesco has today gone live with its food news website, as it seeks to shed light on its food supply chain in light of the horsemeat scandal.
Philip Clarke: Tesco chief appears on supermarket's food news website
Tesco is one of a number of high-street brands which have been engulfed by the horsemeat scandal, forcing it to withdraw products from its shelves.
The retailer has moved to take a proactive response to the scandal, led by its chief executive Philip Clarke, who has appeared on a video blog, describing measures the supermarket chain has taken in response to horsemeat being found in some of its own-brand products.
Tesco Food News is one such measure, a Tesco-branded website that looks to demystify the food supply chain and includes a number of lofty pledges, such as "We'll put in place better controls" and "We'll bring food closer to home."
It also gives details of the testing of its food provenance and how many products have been tested positive for horsemeat.
The site includes the video interview with Clarke, which is fronted with the headline, "We are changing" and is to be updated with news on an ongoing basis.
The website was created by digital agency Zone.
