Q: Kathy and Jane are playing in a tournament. On the fourth hole, Kathy hits her second shot into the bunker in front of the green. She notices that a rake has been left in the bunker between her ball and the hole. She retrieves it and, in the process, makes footprints. She smooths her footprints, as well as other footprints, prior to making a stroke. Jane says she must be penalized for repairing a bunker prior to making a stroke.

Joan was prompt to all the questions that I have, we were really came to a big surprise place. The condo was beautiful and luxury, we are all 4 nurses and each of us had our king size bed with our own bathroom, 4 balcony looking out the ocean and the forest with all of the wilderness in addition to a huge living room/dining and kitchen. We were there for 6days. The one thing the place lacked of is services and wi -Fi... No Internet sevice in the condo itself, and have to go to Shana hotel for it. We have to call Diego to have clean towels and to have the trashes picked up. There is no concierge on the site, although the Shana hotel concierge Carlos and Maria were very helpful for us,they deserved an A++ for their pleasant, willingness to help us.
Overall, it is a gorgeous place to stay.
Was a fine place to stay, as everything in the area is a cab ride (hills make it hard to walk) and this affords some privacy. Note that some photos show three beds per two bedroom condo but this was not the case for us - could've caused an issue but for a last minute cancellation of one guest. These photos are therefore representative of several units, and your setup may vary.
Upon arrival to the condo, we were greeted to something special: beautiful and comfortable furniture, an open-layout of the living room, and three bathrooms with two large sized bedrooms. The air conditioners and fans were exceptional, blowing much needed cold air for relief.
However, all good things must come to an end. We found out that, like a previous reviewer mentioned, the wireless is spotty. Let me make this more clear than that: there will be absolutely no internet during your stay here unless you decide to use data roaming. There is also no phone in the event you need something, say get in contact with the owner? The kitchen is also unequipped with towels of ANY sort. If you make a mess, you are on your own.
Lets talk about the owner: Joan had marvelous communication up to the arrival of our stay. He literally responded within 30 minutes to a few hours of me emailing him. When we arrived, I sent numerous correspondence and nothing was returned. He has hired the most *worthless* property manager, Diego, who prefers to be on the beach or at the pool than provide any assistance. Diego provided the worst excuse as to why Joan did not respond to any of my emails. He only responded once after I coincidentally told Diego that I would place a bad review on this site because Diego flaked out on us one night. Yes, he told us he would come over to speak about tours and he never did. Want a tour? Forget it with this owner and Diego. You'll have to find it yourself.
Again, beautiful place. But, I will skip it because of how poor the communication was with the owner, and Diego.
All that is involved when planning a vacation is easier when you find people like Joan. I highly reccomend this property and can safely say that I will try to come back as soon as possible. If you want quality and amazing communication, look for Joan. Thanks.
This condo is an excellent layout for 2 couples. It's spacious and quiet both inside and out and its picturesque surroundings are perfect for a beach/jungle get-a-way. The condo has anything one might need to be comfortable in the kitchen, furnishings and bath including laundry although a coffee maker might be my only recommendation for Joan to add. The condo's location is ideal for visitors with a car as it's around 10 minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park and the super market in a vehicle. The restaurant in the condo community is pretty but as was mentioned by a previous visitor not very welcoming or very accommodating although it may have been related to the lack of people in it. There are many lovely restaurants only minutes away in the main area of town. A great excuse to get out and see the area or cook in as the kitchen has anything needed to do so. Overall this place is extremely lovely and relaxing and I highly recommend it for local or expat tourists. The beach is private and lovely, the pool is clean and welcoming and the beds gave a perfect nights sleep. We saw monkeys and a few pair of scarlet macaws. Amazing! Thank you Joan for attending to us on such short notice. We'll be back!
As a group of 4, two couples, the 2 bedroom condo was perfect for our 3 night stay in Manuel Antonio. Absolutely gorgeous property and surroundings. Just a short 10 minute walk/hike through the rainforest is a beautiful beach (with many monkey sightings!).
While the condo was absolutely beautiful, it was not stocked well. No paper towels, dishwasher soap, 1 hanger per person, etc. We had come to expect these things when staying at condos/apartments probably the main reason we rent through Airbnb. There is the hotel that the condos are a 'part' of but they are quick to let you know they don't have salt/pepper to spare for the people staying in condos when we wanted to cook our own meal! When we called the head of housekeeping, we still were unable to get basic kitchen supplies for our cooking. However, the next morning we were surprised to find salt, pepper and limes waiting for us when we got back from the beach! A very sweet gesture, but it would have been great for our guacamole if we had it the night before. Taxis are flat rate of ten dollars one way in Manuel Antonio so if you do grocery shopping make sure you grab everything you need in one trip! Also, be aware the wireless is really spotty and there is no phone in the condo.
The bartender at the pool in the evening was AMAZING. Always struck up a conversation, made reservations for us at a local restaurant and we even saw him out and about at night! He also gave us some sugar for the coffee we bought. Be sure to ask your taxi drivers/tour guides/waiters for recommendations for night life. We were surprised to find MA had the best night life for our taste in CR.
We were in Costa Rica for 7 nights and Manuel Antonio was the highlight of our trip. The beaches are gorgeous, the people are incredible friendly and the food is delicious (but pricey). The Byblos chimichanga and at Marluna the Mar y Mar plate were our favorite dishes. Be sure to check our the ADR adventure tour. SO much fun!
This place speaks for itself. The condo was HUGE with great finishes and everything we could possibly need. The complex also has a hotel which has a great infinity pool and a bar restuarant with happy hour drinks too! This was by far the nicest place we stayed on our CR trip! Joan was in San Jose but was in touch over the phone for any questions we had. The security gate had our hotel-style passcards, and there was a maid service that turned over the room daily - nice! Huge comfy beds.
Just a short walk out the door and down a path you can find Playa Biesanz, which is this amazing little secluded beach! I was up at 6am for a morning swim each day and there and had it all to myself, Amazing.
I would recommend having a car if you're staying here but it's not much of a walk to the main road that runs through MA where there are more bars/restuarants. We liked Cafe Milagro, Barba Roja, and we drove into Quepos one night and had agreat dinner at El Gran Escape. Of course Manuel Antoino National Park is the main attraction and we really loved the beaches inside the park.
Overall amazing stay and would go back again.
We had an amazing time during our stay here!! The location was perfect, nearby a beach ( walking) And if you like a Nice hike you can walk from the famous Manuel Antonio national park back to the apartment. Further the accommodation was marvelous, also with all the facilities of the hotel, which makes your stay easy, as they can help you ( e.g. Getting a taxi). And the pool area was very beautiful, nice scenery and good place to chill and hang out! All with all we really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much Joan!
Manuel Antonio is a beautiful place with many things to do. The apartment is great and very comfortable and is located in a nice spot of the town. The service at the department and the hotel was also very good. Joan was very helpful in everything we asked for.

National Climate Assessment: Assessing Regional Climate Service Through Cooperative Extension
Project Dates:
OngoingCLIMAS Investigators:
Cooperative Extension (CE) has over 100-years of experience in delivering science-based decision support to clientele from multiple sectors. The CE structure enables a high level of connectedness and awareness of local issues and provides opportunities to assess local and multi-sector climate services needs. We will to work through CE offices to capture snapshots of local climate science and services needs across rural areas of AZ and NM. Since CE agents in these states work closely with both private land owners/producers (e.g. ranchers and farmers) and state/federal natural resource managers, we will be able to assess both the needs and interconnections between private and public resource managers, consistent with the 'nested matrix' concept of assessing climate change impacts and responses at multiple scales.

The New Year has arrived, along with a new set of challenges for clients across multiple sectors. Insight is integral to understanding what customers want, and how to deliver value for their discretionary spend. In these increasingly competitive and straitened times, here are ten insight projects that should be considered in order to give your business the edge.
1. Use research to generate ideas and solutions
More clients are using open exploratory techniques, including video observation and communities, to identify behaviours, frustrations and opportunities for innovative solutions. Such projects are essential if a business is committed to ensuring its product/service development and innovation is aligned to delivering solutions, not products.
2. Use research to test designs and concepts
Qualitative and quantitative methods can be used to refine and improve designs and concepts, giving them greater chance of success.
3. Use research to monitor your brand alignment
The value of brand alignment is becoming increasingly realised, and more businesses are using techniques such as the Brand Alignment Monitor (BAM™) to measure the extent to which they are aligned to a clear and differentiated vision – across multiple stakeholder groups (customer, prospects, influencers, staff, etc.)
4. Use research to measure customer satisfaction
Maintaining a satisfied client or customer base is a pre-requisite to building and sustaining a successful business. Beyond generating measures of satisfaction, a customer satisfaction survey can generate actionable insight around what service elements have most influencing on driving satisfaction, advocacy and loyalty.
5. Use research to understand the customer journey
Customer needs, attitudes and expectations change as time passes, and more clients understand the importance of monitoring and understand this through quantitative and qualitative research. Such consultation allows us to understand experiences and requirements at key stages of the journey, thus maximising revenue opportunities and minimising the risk of churn.
6. Use research to test your communications
Ensuring your messages are clear, easily understood and on brand.
7. Use research to understand needs and motivations
As incomes are squeezed further in 2012, businesses need to better understand the customer's end goals and objectives – what are they looking to get from that product, service or experience?
8. Use research to measure usage, behaviour and attitudes
How exactly are customers using your products and services versus competitors? What is the wider context for their usage – what occasions exist and how are these fulfilled? How does usage and behaviour differ across different groups, locations, and through time?
9. Use research to identify priority segments
How does the customer base / wider market segment? What unique and differentiating attitudes, needs, behaviours, motivations and traits exist? Segmentation research allows businesses to understand which discreet groups deliver the greatest value, and which show the greatest opportunity for future growth.
10. Use research to generate competitor intelligence
Research can be used to engage with your business 'prospects' to understand their requirements, but also to understand what your competitors do differently in order to shape acquisition strategy. Insights about the competition can allow you to make decisions on all element of your own business – pricing/discounting, product, service, innovation, communication, etc.
For more information on any of these example projects, or to request case studies, please contact Colin Auton or Richard Walker at Ci Research on +44 (0)1625 628000.

Web addresses may adopt non-English characters
The Internet may be getting friendlier for a significant chunk of the world. A proposal is up for a vote to let Web addresses use non-English characters.
The proposed change (PDF), known as Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), will allow the use of non-Latin characters in the entire address. Currently, such characters are allowed only in part of the address. IDNs will let people who write in Chinese, Korean, or Arabic use their own languages to surf the Web, and is expected to jump-start Internet use in many regions across the globe.

Tobacco Tax Reports 1976.491.2 Donor: Tom Richards Taxes on tobacco and tobacco products have been around almost as long as tobacco has been grown in the United States. Taxes on goods have been a long standing way for governments to raise revenue and pay down war debts. Great Britain tried the idea first with her colonies, but here in America it was a short lived venture. Taxes on tobacco have been tried twice by the United States government, and since the second instance in 1862 they have remained. Tobacco growing and selling has been a large part of the United States economy and to that end taxes on the selling of the product has been around a long time. The first tax on tobacco was enacted in 1794, but was quickly repealed. In 1862, rising war debts caused the government to enact taxes on several items including tobacco. All but the tobacco tax was repealed after the war, and by 1868 tobacco tax revenues were the main source of government income. It remained exclusively a Federal tax until 1921 when Iowa became the first state to issue a state tax on tobacco. By 1969 every state had tax on tobacco. A few cities even have added their own tax, causing tobacco to be one of the highest taxed products. In Arkansas, the state tax is $1.15 per pack, or for those who buy in bulk $11.50 a carton. This tax is on top of the Federal tax of $1.01. Due to state tobacco tax coupled with the large amount of tobacco sales, the state of Arkansas received $171,038 thousand in tobacco tax revenue in 2009. To report the revenue for sale of tobacco products each cigarette carton or individual pack has a stamp. These small stickers provide proof of purchase and include the state in which they were issued. Through the wonders of technology all this information is fed to the state and Federal governments; however, in 1937 a monthly report of number of cigarettes purchased and number of stamps purchased needed to be written out and a copy sent off to the Department of Revenues. Shown here are examples of the November 1937 report by the J.O. Rand Wholesale Grocery Company. While the method of tracking taxes has changed the necessity of paying them hasn't. Each state, city and the Federal government relies on those taxes to pay for other projects; so as much as we bemoan paying them they are here to stay.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Office: 843.349.2814 |
Jozsef Forman was named head volleyball coach at Coastal Carolina University January 18, 2012.
In his first season at the helm of the CCU volleyball program he guided the Chanticleers to the Big South Conference tournament championship match. The team finished with a 14-14 overall record but was 10-4 in conference play. It was the first 10 win conference season since 2009. Forman had one player named first team all-conference, two named to the Big South all-freshman team and one named Big South all-academic.
Forman took a team that had finished 5-9 in conference play and lost in the first round of the Big South Conference tournament in 2011 and guided them to 10 conference wins and a trip to the Big South Conference tournament championship match in his very first season.
Prior to being named the head volleyball coach of Coastal Carolina, Forman served as the associate head coach at Auburn University. The Tigers finished the 2010 season ranked 42nd in the RPI after putting together one of the best seasons in program history. Auburn recorded a program-best 21 wins, finishing the season with a 21-13 overall record and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The Tigers also posted a season-best 11 Southeastern Conference wins. Forman was named Auburn's interim head coach in the spring of 2011 and remained on the staff under new head coach Rick Nold.
Forman served as the head volleyball coach at the University of New Orleans for three seasons (2008-10) and posted a 58-39 record. He recorded a season-best 13 Sun Belt Conference wins during the 2008 season, finishing 22-10 overall and 13-5 in league play. During the 2009 season, the University of New Orleans volleyball team earned its first ever Sun Belt West Division Championship, after compiling a 12-6 conference record and a 20-13 overall record. The Privateers earned a GPA above 3.0 each of the three years that Forman was head coach.
While at the University of New Orleans, Forman had the opportunity to be the assistant coach of the 2008 USA/Bring It Promotions u20 Development Team that played in the European Global Games in Pula, Croatia, and Italy.
Before being named the head coach of the University of New Orleans, Forman served as the first assistant volleyball coach from 2004-07 at Mississippi State University. The Bulldogs set a school record for conference wins each of the three years, winning eight during the 2006 season and accumulating a 17-13 overall record. In 2007, the Bulldogs tallied a 3.48 overall team GPA, the best ever recorded for Mississippi State women's volleyball.
During the summer of 2005, Forman returned to his native Hungary to serve as associate head coach of the Hungarian men's national team that defeated Serbia-Montenegro, the runners-up in the 2005 World League Championships.
Forman began his collegiate coaching career in the United States when he served as the first assistant volleyball coach at Baylor University during the 2003 season.
In 1999, Forman established the NRK-Nyiregyhaza Club, that became middle Europe's top women's volleyball club. The club won the Hungarian Championship three straight years (2000, 2001 and 2002) and the Middle European Champions League (MEVZA) title in 2000. He led the team to an overall record of 176-13 for a winning percentage of .931. During his tenure as a club coach from 1990-00, he guided teams to elite eight finishes in the European professional CEV Champions League in 1990 and 1994, as well as CEV Cup League in 1991 and 1999.
Forman started his coaching career as the head coach of the Vasas Sports Club, which made it to the 1990 Hungarian Cup title and a fifth-place finish in the European CEV Champions League. The following year, while serving under the direction of famed Chinese champion coach Sun De Lee, the team captured the Hungarian Cup and posted another fifth-place finish in the European CEV Cup League.
In addition to his club experience, Forman has head coaching experience on the international level. He began coaching the Hungarian junior national team in 1993 before taking the head coaching position of the Hungarian women's national team for four years. The Hungarian junior national team finished 10th in the 1992 European Championship and went on to take fifth place in the World Championship held in Brazil in 1993. In 1997, while coaching the Hungarian women's national team, the Forman-led squad earned wins over Canada, Germany and the United Sates en route to a first-place finish at the 1997 Canada Cup.
As a player, Forman was a setter for the Hungarian junior championship team from 1979-83 and was a member of the Semmelweis University team that won the collegiate national championship of Hungary from 1984-89.
He is a 1989 graduate of the Hungarian University of Physical Education where he also earned a master's degree in physical education and sports science.

Software cracking
This article possibly contains original research. (September 2013) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2013) |
Software cracking is the modification of software to remove or disable features which are considered undesirable by the person cracking the software, usually related to protection methods: (copy protection, protection against the manipulation of software), trial/demo version, serial number, hardware key, date checks, CD check or software annoyances like nag screens and adware.
The distribution and use of cracked copies is illegal in most countries.[citation needed] There have been lawsuits over cracking software.[1]
The first software copy protection was from Apple II, Atari 800 and Commodore 64. Software publishers, particularly of gaming software, have over time resorted to increasingly complex measures to try to stop unauthorized copying of their software.
On the Apple II, unlike modern computers that use standardized device drivers to manage device communications, the operating system directly controlled the step motor that moves the floppy drive head, and also directly interpreted the raw data called nibbles read from each track to find the data sectors. This allowed complex disk-based software copy protection, by storing data on half tracks (0, 1, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6...), quarter tracks (0, 1, 2.25, 3.75, 5, 6...), and any combination thereof. In addition, tracks did not need to be perfect rings, but could be sectioned so that sectors could be staggered across overlapping offset tracks, the most extreme version being known as spiral tracking. It was also discovered that many floppy drives did not have a fixed upper limit to head movement, and it was sometimes possible to write an additional 36th track above the normal 35 tracks. The standard Apple II copy programs could not read such protected floppy disks, since the standard DOS assumed that all disks had a uniform 35-track, 13- or 16-sector layout. Special nibble-copy programs such as Locksmith and Copy II Plus could sometimes duplicate these disks by using a reference library of known protection methods; when protected programs were cracked they would be completely stripped of the copy protection system, and transferred onto a standard format disk that any normal Apple II copy program could read.
One of the primary routes to hacking these early copy protections was to run a program that simulates the normal CPU operation. The CPU simulator provides a number of extra features to the hacker, such as the ability to single-step through each processor instruction and to examine the CPU registers and modified memory spaces as the simulation runs. The Apple II provided a built-in opcode disassembler, allowing raw memory to be decoded into CPU opcodes, and this would be utilized to examine what the copy-protection was about to do next. Generally there was little to no defense available to the copy protection system, since all its secrets are made visible through the simulation. However, because the simulation itself must run on the original CPU, in addition to the software being hacked, the simulation would often run extremely slowly even at maximum speed.
On Atari 8-bit computers, the most common protection method was via "bad sectors". These were sectors on the disk that were intentionally unreadable by the disk drive. The software would look for these sectors when the program was loading and would stop loading if an error code was not returned when accessing these sectors. Special copy programs were available that would copy the disk and remember any bad sectors. The user could then use an application to spin the drive by constantly reading a single sector and display the drive RPM. With the disk drive top removed a small screwdriver could be used to slow the drive RPM below a certain point. Once the drive was slowed down the application could then go and write "bad sectors" where needed. When done the drive RPM was sped up back to normal and an uncracked copy was made. Of course cracking the software to expect good sectors made for readily copied disks without the need to meddle with the disk drive. As time went on more sophisticated methods were developed, but almost all involved some form of malformed disk data, such as a sector that might return different data on separate accesses due to bad data alignment. Products became available (from companies such as Happy Computers) which replaced the controller BIOS in Atari's "smart" drives. These upgraded drives allowed the user to make exact copies of the original program with copy protections in place on the new disk.
On the Commodore 64, several methods were used to protect software. For software distributed on ROM cartridges, subroutines were included which attempted to write over the program code. If the software was on ROM, nothing would happen, but if the software had been moved to RAM, the software would be disabled. Because of the operation of Commodore floppy drives, one write protection scheme would cause the floppy drive head to bang against the end of its rail, which could cause the drive head to become misaligned. In some cases, cracked versions of software were desirable to avoid this result. A misaligned drive head was rare usually fixing itself by smashing against the rail stops. Another brutal protection scheme was grinding from track 1 to 40 and back a few times. Oddly the first duplication of computer software id witnessed was a tape format that had been put into a twin high speed cassette stereo player and dubbed. Compressed tape data required a higher quality recordable cassette.
Most of the early software crackers were computer hobbyists who often formed groups that competed against each other in the cracking and spreading of software. Breaking a new copy protection scheme as quickly as possible was often regarded as an opportunity to demonstrate one's technical superiority rather than a possibility of money-making. Some low skilled hobbyists would take already cracked software and edit various unencrypted strings of text in it to change messages a game would tell a game player, often something not suitable for children. Then pass the altered copy along in the pirate networks, mainly for laughs among adult users. The cracker groups of the 1980s started to advertise themselves and their skills by attaching animated screens known as crack intros in the software programs they cracked and released. Once the technical competition had expanded from the challenges of cracking to the challenges of creating visually stunning intros, the foundations for a new subculture known as demoscene were established. Demoscene started to separate itself from the illegal "warez scene" during the 1990s and is now regarded as a completely different subculture. Many software crackers have later grown into extremely capable software reverse engineers; the deep knowledge of assembly required in order to crack protections enables them to reverse engineer drivers in order to port them from binary-only drivers for Windows to drivers with source code for Linux and other free operating systems. Also because music and game intro was such an integral part of gaming the music format and graphics became very popular when hardware became affordable for the home user.
With the rise of the Internet, software crackers developed secretive online organizations. In the latter half of the nineties, one of the most respected sources of information about "software protection reversing" was Fravia's website.
Most of the well-known or "elite" cracking groups make software cracks entirely for respect in the "The Scene", not profit. From there, the cracks are eventually leaked onto public Internet sites by people/crackers who use well-protected/secure FTP release archives, which are made into pirated copies and sometimes sold illegally by other parties.
The Scene today is formed of small groups of skilled people, who informally compete to have the best crackers, methods of cracking, and reverse engineering.
The most common software crack is the modification of an application's binary to cause or prevent a specific key branch in the program's execution. This is accomplished by reverse engineering the compiled program code using a debugger such as SoftICE, OllyDbg, GDB, or MacsBug until the software cracker reaches the subroutine that contains the primary method of protecting the software (or by disassembling an executable file with a program such as IDA). The binary is then modified using the debugger or a hex editor or monitor in a manner that replaces a prior branching opcode with its complement or a NOP opcode so the key branch will either always execute a specific subroutine or skip over it. Almost all common software cracks are a variation of this type. Proprietary software developers are constantly developing techniques such as code obfuscation, encryption, and self-modifying code to make this modification increasingly difficult. Even with these measures being taken, developers struggle to combat software cracking. This is because it is very common for a professional to publicly release a simple cracked EXE or Retrium Installer for public download, eliminating the need for inexperienced users to crack the software themselves.
A specific example of this technique is a crack that removes the expiration period from a time-limited trial of an application. These cracks are usually programs that patch the program executable and sometimes the .dll or .so linked to the application. Similar cracks are available for software that requires a hardware dongle. A company can also break the copy protection of programs that they have legally purchased but that are licensed to particular hardware, so that there is no risk of downtime due to hardware failure (and, of course, no need to restrict oneself to running the software on bought hardware only).
Another method is the use of special software such as CloneCD to scan for the use of a commercial copy protection application. After discovering the software used to protect the application, another tool may be used to remove the copy protection from the software on the CD or DVD. This may enable another program such as Alcohol 120%, CloneDVD, Game Jackal, or Daemon Tools to copy the protected software to a user's hard disk. Popular commercial copy protection applications which may be scanned for include SafeDisc and StarForce.[2]
In other cases, it might be possible to decompile a program in order to get access to the original source code or code on a level higher than machine code. This is often possible with scripting languages and languages utilizing JIT compilation. An example is cracking (or debugging) on the .NET platform where one might consider manipulating CIL to achieve one's needs. Java's bytecode also works in a similar fashion in which there is an intermediate language before the program is compiled to run on the platform dependent machine code.
Advanced reverse engineering for protections such as SecuROM, SafeDisc or StarForce requires a cracker, or many crackers to spend much time studying the protection, eventually finding every flaw within the protection code, and then coding their own tools to "unwrap" the protection automatically from executable (.EXE) and library (.DLL) files.
There are a number of sites on the Internet that let users download cracks for popular games and applications (although at the danger of acquiring malicious software that is sometimes distributed via such sites). Although these cracks are used by legal buyers of software, they can also be used by people who have downloaded or otherwise obtained pirated software (often through P2P networks).
The most visible and controversial effect of software cracking is the releasing of fully operable proprietary software without any copy protection.

A custom case ca be ordered in a variety of materials including steel, plastic or even aluminum. Steel is the most common material found, however, because the price tends to be a lot less and it is very easy to work with when you want to add paint or brushed on art to your case.

computer enclosures are cooled depending upon the application and the extreme temperatures, there are solutions to cool an enclosure to -30 degrees and there are solutions to heat the enclosure to +60 degrees Celsius. Air conditioning units are also available, however they have moving parts than do wear out over time, there are options to maintain a ambient temperature inside the cabinet even if the external temperature range is to variable.

NASA sold PCs with sensitive data
NASA failed to remove sensitive data from computers that it sold, according to an audit report released this week.
The agency has been selling off computers, hard drives, and other equipment associated with the Space Shuttle program as it winds down.
But the audit (PDF) by the NASA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found security breaches at four NASA facilities: the Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers and the Ames and Langley Research Centers.
Specifically, the audit discovered that 10 computers from the Kennedy Center were released to the public even though they still contained sensitive NASA data and had … Read more

If you're not in the mood to cook or steal your roommate's food, off-campus dining around ASU is quite exceptional considering the price ranges are pretty lax on the typical college student's wallet. There are plenty of dining options outside of campus that would surely please anyone's taste buds. There are so many great restaurants along Mill Avenue, McClintock Road, University Road, College Avenue, and Rural Road that offer a variety of foods according to your interests. If the weather is perfect, which it almost always is, Tempe Marketplace also has plenty of places to choose from that will satisfy your hunger. Many of these locations are easily accessible by foot, and you can hit many of these between classes in case the Memorial Union just isn't cutting it. Many of the local hot spots include The Chuckbox's infamous burgers, Dilly's Deli, America's Taco Shop, and several more. You will just have to try all of these joints at your own time and believe you will be going back!
A lot of the locations along Mill Avenue are great eateries during the day and sweet college hangouts by night. In case your family is in town, take them to a nice restaurant that will allow you all to catch up with one another—a favorite for these occasions is Z'Tejas, a Mexican restaurant. If you're on a date, there are plenty of great options, such as Old Scottsdale, where there are several posh restaurants of all flavors. For more organic/vegan eats, there are a few locations around campus that serve vegetarian food, including Cornish Pasty Co. and Udupi Cafe. Due to a surplus of food, affordable prices, and convenience, Tempe and the local ASU area is a great area to find a bite to eat!

Insight from bloggers of teams Randy Moss used to play for
Acquiring Randy Moss: A no-brainer for the Tennessee Titans
What started as speculation (perhaps pipedream is a better word) earlier in the week became a reality yesterday, as the seemingly unthinkable occurred: Randy Moss is coming to the city of Nashville.
That's right folks, our very own Tennessee Titans; a franchise that's been hell-bent on not taking chances on players with questionable character and often avoiding the big-names in free agency/potential trades, uncharacteristically decided to roll the dice on the diva-like Moss as the team attempts to make a serious playoff run in 2010.
Despite the red flags associated with reeling in a talent/potential locker-room cancer such as Moss, in my opinion, the positives outweigh the negatives, thus making the decision to acquire him a no-brainer.
Tennessee Titans add Randy Moss off waiver wire
The Tennessee Titans today made a rare in-season waiver wire pickup, acquiring Randy Moss, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings. To make room for Moss on the roster, the Titans played linebacker Jamie Winborn in injured reserve. In other Titans injury news, linebacker David Thornton, who's spent the entire year on the physically unable to perform list, started practicing. Thornton may practice for up to 21 days before the Titans have to decide to elevate him to the active roster, which includes clearing a spot on the 53-man, or move him to season-ending injured reserve.
I have some brief thoughts up on the Moss acquisition in the current edition my weekly column at Football Outsiders. An excerpt:
Moss is probably still a better deep threat than Britt, and defenses presumably will fear him more, but Moss isn't the same type of physical receiver Britt is and thus probably less useful for the quick slant, shallow cross, and intermediate dig routes.
We'll obviously have more to say about this later, not that I needed more to write about during the bye week.
Yes or No: Should the Tennessee Titans pursue Randy Moss?
In 1998, the Tennessee Titans were one of several teams that passed on the opportunity to draft troubled-but-talented WR Randy Moss.
Twelve years later, the Titans may have another chance to grab the recently-made-available Moss and according to Jeff Fisher, this time around, the team may strongly consider pouncing on the opportunity to pick up one of the league's most dangerous wide receivers.
San Diego blues continue: Titans fall once again to Chargers 33-25
Once again, the Tennessee Titans were on the receiving end of yet another defeat at the hands of the San Diego Chargers.
Despite injuries to key players Vince Young and Kenny Britt and a bend-but-don't-break defense that broke far too often this afternoon, a valiant Titan comeback came up a bit short in today's 33-25 loss to the Chargers.
Additional thoughts on yet another Titan loss to the Chargers...after the jump.
Titans-Chargers inactives, gameday thread
The list of inactives is out for today's game, and here they are:
WR Buster Davis, LB Larry English, WR Malcom Floyd, K Nate Kaeding, "QB" (WR) Legedu Naanee (#3 QB), LB Brandon Siler, WR Chansi Stuckey, DT Cam Thomas
DT Tony Brown, G Ryan Durand, WR Justin Gage, S Robert Johnson, T/G Troy Kropog, CB Ryan Mouton, QB Rusty Smith (#3 QB), LB Jamie Winborn
Welcome to the lineup, Rennie Curran, who makes his NFL debut. Vince Young also returns as the Titans' starting quarterback. McCourty's returns means Mouton is on the bench, as the Titans remain willing to dress only three corners.
Feel free to leave your comments here during today's game, or follow me on Twitter, where I'll probably be chiming in occasionally.
Two myths about the Tennessee Titans' run game
The Titans' running game has been much less efficient than it was in 2009. Chris Johnson has had fewer yards on more carries than he had through seven games last year, and his success rate has fallen 45% to 37%, which currently puts him 36th among the 39th backs with the most carries. The big question is why, and one of the explanations that's been proposed is Eugene Amano's shift from left guard over to center, replacing Kevin Mawae, and Leroy Harris's insertion into the lineup at left guard.
The lineup change has produced two related complaints:
1. The Titans' run game is worse because they're less effective running up the middle behind Harris and Amano than they were last year behind Amano and Mawae; and
2. The Titans are trying to run up the middle too much.
The problem is, neither of those statements is quite true. I'll tackle them in reverse order:

PIONEER - The No. 1 North Collins Eagles won their fourth straight Section 6 Class D high school soccer championship Friday with a 1-0 victory over No. 2 Ellicottville.
Todd Youngman netted the game winner 26 minutes into the first half off a centering feed from Jared Keppel. Youngman one-timed the pass into the net for the game-winner.
Kyle Loretto played a solid game in goal with eight saves to preserve the shutout.
Ellicottville tried to get the equalizer and hit the crossbar twice with eight minutes remaining.
The win marked the 26th Sectional title in the school's program.
"It's a nice tradition and the kids work hard," North Collins coach Jay Walters said. "We don't have football so they all come out for soccer."

WHAT I DO HERE I do love to post my current work, whether it's a painting or design, along with posting various images and works of other artists that inspire me. I hope throughout my site YOU are inspired, even in some small way, to bring creativity into your own life. For me, sometimes it proves to be my only sanity! Enjoy!
