A densely tufted grass with smooth, erect stems topped by pyramidal clusters of ovoid, green spikelets borne on thread-like, spreading or ascending branches.
This grass is often cultivated as a lawn or pasture grass. It gives Kentucky the name Bluegrass State. The Bluegrass region near Lexington is noted for its famous race horses that graze on the limestone-rich grasses. The many species of Poa are mostly difficult to distinguish from one another.

Go Fish for 12/2/12 by Capt. Bill Miller
I went out on the Redington Long Pier this week looking for some land based fishing. My primary target was kingfish.
There wasn't much bait around the pier so catching a legal sized mackerel for bait proved challenging early on. I did manage to catch a few mackerel and put them out off the end of the pier using the zip line technique.
The zip line, or outrodder, technique gets your bait out away from the pier and holds it in one position just below the surface. When the fish strikes your line is pulled loose from a clip on the zip line and you are now direct to the fish.
Myself and a few others king fishing did not have a strike that afternoon, but the mackerel did move in and we had fun catching them on # 15 and 16 Sabikis.
Earlier in the week Greg LaChance caught a 35.6 pound big king using the zip line/mackerel technique.
Al Trice has been really catching the flounder bouncing a jig with a motor oil gold flake shrimp tail around the pilings. I saw Trice catch a couple while waiting for a kingfish.
Anglers about half way out the pier were catching speckled trout and pompano floating a live shrimp under a cork. Black drum to 40 pounds were also being caught using shrimp on the bottom near the pilings.
Capt. Billy Miller guided Michael Ryan and Alex Varner to big triple tail to 10 pounds using DOA shrimp around the crab buoys. Later in the day they moved inside and caught lots of keeper trout and a few pompano over the grass flats around Ft. DeSoto.
Capt Van Hubbard reports good fishing down in Lemon Bay and Charlotte Harbor. Hubbard says bait is easy to find and trout, reds and snook are biting inside. The close in reefs have some hungry mackerel and a few kings on them.

The safety of New Mexicans is our priority.
Injuries are the leading cause of death among people ages 1 to 44 in New Mexico. Each day an average of 5 people die from injuries, another 40 are hospitalized due to injuries, more than 700 are seen in emergency departments, and more than 2,000 visit other health care facilities for treatment of their injuries.
Injuries can be intentional or unintentional. Intentional injuries are inflicted by people on others--usually through violence. Domestic violence, sexual assault, and gun violence are all intentional injuries with a victimizer and a victim. Examples of unintended injuries include motor vehicle crashes, poisoning (from legal and illegal drugs), and falls (usually associated with the older population).
Injuries exact a tremendous toll on our state's families and our state's resources. The financial cost of injury amounts to more than $4 billion a year in New Mexico, and the emotional costs are impossible to measure. The only greater tragedy than the pain and suffering caused by injuries is that most are preventable. The Department of Health is working to reduce them by:
The Office of Injury Prevention is part of the Injury & Behavioral Epidemiology Bureau and the Epidemiology and Response Division. The Bureau is committed to all aspects of injury prevention including surveillance, analysis of data, reporting, dissemination of reports on injury, and promotion of evidence-based policies and programs.
For information about the Office of Injury Prevention please contact the members of the Prevention and Epidemiology team (noted on the menu bar on the right under "Injury Prevention").

NEV?s Mike Peevey: Meters Make the Market
AS NEW ENERGY VENTURES, LLC EXPLAINS IN ITS PROMOtional literature, it took a long time in California for electricity competition to move from the category of "wacky idea" to widespread acceptance.
But that was before the California electric market opened in April, and before NEV had formed its New Energy Buyers' Alliance, a consortium of clients for whom NEV buys wholesale energy. The alliance includes associations like the California Retailers Association, Western Growers Association and the Independent Colleges of Southern California. Among its corporate members the alliance counts AlliedSignal, Inc., Georgia-Pacific Corp., Ralphs Grocery Co., Robinsons-May and Sumitomo Life Realty.
Michael R. Peevey, president of NEV, touts his company as an electricity retailer that is free to buy wholesale wherever it can cut the best deal (em whether in an established spot market or through a bilateral contract with an individual trader or power producer. Peevey, who in a former life was president of SCEcorp and Southern California Edison Co., believes that NEV customers can beat the price of electricity otherwise available through the California Power Exchange.
But information services plays an important role as well. Peevey claims to offer billing and energy management services, using the Internet as a gateway. In almost all cases, a customer must replace its existing meter. NEV's billing and energy information system requires a meter than can track energy use hour-by-hour, and that can also communicate with a remote computer system. NEV says it is looking at an investment of $860 per meter, which it deems "small" in relation to the possible magnitude of energy savings.
A privately held company, NEV is 50-percent owned by Tucson Electric Power Co.; NEV executives hold the other 50 percent. Public Utilities Fortnightly spoke with Peevey to hear his experience in California's new electric market (em and elsewhere.
The Mood in California
Can you describe the mood in California during the first week of customer choice? What's different from what you thought it would be?
I'll have to think a little about that. I don't know about the mood, but let me put it this way: Everything is going off smoothly and without a hitch. Power Exchange prices are a little higher than a lot of people anticipated, given this time of year. And it's off to a good start.
Are there any customer accounts that you are particularly proud of reeling in?
Oh sure. There's Ralphs, a grocery chain in Southern California. Their peak usage is about 100 megawatts. That's one. And Macy's. And Robinsons-May, a department store chain, TAMCO steel, Catholic Health Care West, which is 26 hospitals and the city of San Jose, the biggest city in the Bay Area. And there are several other cities in the Bay Area that we also contract with.
You mentioned PX prices. Am I correct that you are doing your buying outside the PX or are you buying both?
We're doing both. We've bought outside the PX, locked in and resold power¼ locked in the margin, and we'll give that margin to our customers, minus our fees. Do you follow

Florian Quèze: Google Summer of Code Student who went on to become a Mentor/Org Admin
Since 2006, I've probably tried every possible role as a Google Summer of Code participant: accepted student, rejected student, submitter of a rejected organization application, mentor of successful students, mentor of a failing student, co-administrator, and now administrator. Here's my story:
- In 2006, I had the pleasure of being selected to participate as a student for the Mozilla organization. The work I did on the Page Info dialog eventually shipped as part of Firefox 3.0.
- In 2007 I applied as a student again, to a different organization, but unfortunately wasn't selected. However, I received an email from someone from the organization who told me the application was good and they would have liked to take me as a student if they had received more slots. He offered to mentor me if I decided to move forward with the project anyway, which I did! I completed the project and in October 2007, Instantbird 0.1 was released. Instantbird is a cross platform, easy to use, instant messaging client based on Mozilla technologies.
- In 2007, I was selected by Mozilla for an internship in the Firefox team, and spent the end of the year in their headquarters in Mountain View, California. I think this was in large part because people were happy about the work I did in 2006 as a Summer of Code student.
- In 2008, 2009 and 2010, I focused on Instantbird, which had a growing community of volunteers improving it every day. I sent Summer of Code organization applications on behalf of the Instantbird community, but they weren't accepted. When I asked for feedback, I was told that we should try to work with Mozilla.
- And this is what we did in 2011! Gerv agreed to let us add Instantbird project ideas to the Mozilla idea list. In 2011 I mentored a student, who completed successfully his work on implementing XMPP in JavaScript for Instantbird. In October I attended the mentor summit in Mountain View.
- In 2012, I mentored another student, who did some excellent work on improving the user experience for new users during the first run of Instantbird.
- In 2013, Gerv, who had been handling Summer of Code for Mozilla since the beginning in 2005, asked me if I would be interested in eventually replacing him as an Administrator. After some discussion, I accepted the offer, and we agreed to have a transition period. In 2013, I was backup administrator. I also mentored for the third year in a row. Unfortunately I had to fail my student. This was frustrating, but also a learning experience.
- In 2014, I submitted the Summer of Code organization application on behalf of Mozilla, it was accepted and we are looking forward to another great summer of code!
- On a more personal note, after being a Mozilla volunteer for years (since 2004), working on the Thunderbird team (from 2011 to 2012), and then on WebRTC apps (since October 2012), I'm starting in March 2014 as a full time engineer in the Firefox team. Which is the team for which I was a Summer of Code student, 8 years ago.
Andy McKay: Mondays
It's pretty much a given that Friday is the best day of the week. Monday maybe the worst and Wednesday is "hump day". In fact for many people Sunday is the most stressful night of the week, it presents anxiety and stress about the upcoming week.
I've been in jobs that I didn't enjoy and I can understand this. The dread of checking your email and finding emails full of problems, issues that need to be addressed and so on. It's not a good place to be.
But at the moment? It's the opposite way round, by Friday I'm a bit fried from a weeks work, I really look forward to a weekend away from work and time to spend with the family. A chance to clear the brain.
By the time Monday comes around? I'm actually pumped, Monday is full of promise and excitement about the things that are going to get accomplished. The bugs that will be fixed, the problems solved. Nothing but hope and excitement about what will happen that week.
I think I'm pretty lucky.
Who is this optimistic person and what has he done with Andy McKay?
K Lars Lohn: Redneck Broadband - Disappointing Postscript
I regret to report that as I leave my friends place in Tennessee, I leave them with very unstable broadband. In my last posting, I reported that we managed to get 28Mps broadband connection the house. That lasted only for a day, and suddenly our source Verizon WiFi hotspot failed to deliver that bandwidth.
I had no idea that cell service was so variable over time. The same equipment that gave us a consistent 4G four bar signal on Monday, now can only get a 3G two bar signal today. In the last forty-eight hours we've been lucky to get an intermittent 200Kbps signal.
We've canvassed the ridge looking for a new location for the WiFi hotspot and finally found a place that consistently delivers a 1Mbps 3G signal. Interestingly, this a place that delivered essentially a zero signal on Monday. The variability of signal strength at a given spot is a serious impediment to success of this project.
Since I leave tomorrow, I'm out of time. There's not much more than I can do on this visit. My hosts are still pleased with the results. The bandwidth is forty-five times faster than the old 28.8Kbps of the old system.
We'll see how this works for the long run. Maybe it will settle into a more consistent pattern. However, I wonder how that will change as Spring comes and the heavily timbered forest of the area leafs out.
I've briefed my hosts on the necessity to monitor the bandwidth and move the hot spot. I had hoped that this would be a set it and forget it installation, but fear this will be a system that will need constant baby sitting.

OC - Ryan (Genome) - Finished
NOTE: Forgot to add in a design for the shoes, i'll make sure to add them in when i'm fixing up any mistakes

Looking good! The ear needs to be higher though. Ears are always eye height unless you're looking from above or below eye level.
@Apples - Thanks and I shall
@JJ - Ah ok, ill make sure to move the ear up more
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Everything perfect.
I agree with the ears as said.
Just a modification add some folds or something like that to his left pocket because it seems rest part of the hand is not there inside his pocket
Awesome work keep it up .
what i meant in my last statement was that being an android he could have humanoid proportions and stuff but could still be obviously robotic like the robots from I, robot.
they're obviously designed to look humanoid but are just as obviously not real people.
conversly you could do this:
if you covered over this android's joints with a flesh analouge, you almost wouldn't be able to tell that she was a robot.
but there must be a reason her creators don't want her to look like a robot
is it for camouflage?(blending in to human society) a pursuit of physical perfection? (pure, unbrideled vanity) or some other reason?
this is what i was referring to.
you should decide what sort of android jorm will look like. will he be a humanoid robot, but still obviously a robot?
or will he appear almost like a real person?
EDIT: ryan looks good and you rendered the jeans very well! his head should be a bit longer, not so circular.

If you put a characters hand in a pocket, make sure to add some folds or indication to show off the shape of the hand. Else it will just give the impression that the whole arm is 2d
@Trilokcool3 - Ah thanks and I'll make sure to put some folds there
@ Mereana - Ah now I see what you mean and yeah I think that was the idea that he is a complete robot based on a humanoid figure and once apon a time had full coat of synthetic flesh but maybe after the years it's become damaged hence why there is circuitry showing an his legs have actually been replaced with metal plating for protection. Also I think this is ok because the story is set in the future and I think Raz mentioned something about different bionic attachments an stuff so it would be a regular sight to see such attachments :L
@ Rubisko - Thanks for posting I'll make sure to add some folds in now
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Anything wrong which I should correct before I get it ready for the Genome Banner I think i've made the waist and shoulder widths too thick but im not sure :/
Ryan Fix
Still need to add the shoes in :L

Heyo just stopping by and gotta say this is looking pretty good I tried to skim through the other comments so I wouldn't repeat anything anyone else said, but if I do haha sorry.
The main thing that I'm noticing about the guy right now is his head. He has quite a long forehead. Usually, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the eyes fall more or less halfway down the head. Here the eyes are a bit low, or his forehead is a bit high. If you wanted to fix it you could probably just make the bangs a bit longer, especially on our left side to cover up some of the forehead. Then his hair would just look like it had awesome volume It isn't a huge deal, but thats my opinion. Also his chin feels slightly off center to me... And the ear thing - you can use your face to check most of these proportions, but the top of the ear right around the top of the eye or the bottom of the eyebrow. Also its a bit close to the actual face, like his ear could probably be farther back on his head.
Anyway keep up the good work man and let me know if any of that didn't make sense

Boilermakers selected to finish first in the conference
Oct. 26, 2008
Park Ridge, Ill.--Purdue swingman Robbie Hummel was named the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year by a 22-member media panel, the conference announced today. Hummel's Boilermakers were tabbed as the preseason favorite for the 2008-09 men's basketball season by the media panel.
Hummel was chosen as the Preseason Player of the Year after earning first-team All-Conference and All-Freshman Team accolades last year. He led the Big Ten in three-point field percentage in conference games while averaging 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in all games. He becomes the first Purdue standout to earn Preseason Player of the Year accolades since Chad Austin received the honor in 1997.
The Boilermakers welcome back all five starters from a year ago, returning 82 percent of their scoring overall. Purdue finished with a 25-9 record and a 15-3 conference mark. Entering his fourth season at the Boilermakers helm, Matt Painter will aim to lead the Boilermakers to a conference crown for the first time since 1996. Painter has led his squad to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.
With the return of three starters and three of its top four scorers from last season, Michigan State garners a second-place showing in the preseason poll. The Spartans finished fourth in the Big Ten last year with a 12-6 mark and 27-9 overall record under veteran head coach Tom Izzo. Michigan State is led by a talented trio in Raymar Morgan, Kalin Lucas and Goran Suton, accounting for 47 percent of the team's offensive production in 2007-08.
Wisconsin, the defending Big Ten and Big Ten Tournament champion, earned the remaining votes for the No. 3 preseason slot. Head coach Bo Ryan guided the Badgers to a school-record 31 wins last season and a berth into the Sweet Sixteen. Ryan's Badgers are one of only five teams in the country to win 30 or more games in each of the last two seasons.

Comments about Lady Monster Adult Wig:
Great, fun wig. Good quality. Shipped quickly. Bought this for my teen to complete a Halloween costume. Received many compliments.
Comments about Lady Monster Adult Wig:
I made the wig work by taking the advice of another reviewer.I stuffed the wig with newspaper to make it stand up on my head. It was fairly easy fitting the wig to my head with the use of a wig cap & LOTS of bobby- pins (you-tube how to wear a wig). I will say that the wig is so poorly made you can see through the nylon hair to the seams. Lucky my party was in a dark bar so it looked great in the poorly lit room! The price makes it so you can't really criticize it seeing it was less than 20 bucks. Try & buy a real hair wig & you'll pay hundreds.
Comments about Lady Monster Adult Wig:
The wig did not have any directions. It did not have any support. Even though I bought it new it looked old and poorly made when I took it out of the package. I had to create an interior to it out of cardboard so that it didn't sag on my head. Or I could have stuffed it. The package didn't really help on what to do to get it to look right. Wasn't happy with it at all.
Comments about Lady Monster Adult Wig:
This wig is awesome, went well with my monster bride costume. I did place newspaper bundles inside the wig when I received it to make the wig round and unflatten it from being in the package. When I wore it I left a few newspaper bundles in it to keep it round and from falling off my head.

martinsheen (March 14, 2013) |
With serious star power behind it, the Women's Help Center's Anniversary dinner is quickly filling up seats, organizers said.
Multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Martin Sheen is the keynote speaker for the center's 35th anniversary dinner April 12 at the Sunnehanna Country Club in Westmont.
Executive Director Susan Shahade said that, with increased interest in the event, a limited number of tickets remain.
"We've received a very, very favorable response from the community," she said. "People are thrilled. They constantly are asking, 'Where did you get him?'"
Shahade said she has admired Sheen's work, on- and off-camera, and thought he would make a memorable and meaningful speaker at the event.
"I have great respect for him and his work," Shahade said.
Well-known for his seven-year run as President Bartlet on the award-winning series "The West Wing," Sheen uses also uses his celebrity influence to encourage peace and social justice, addressing issues such as nuclear weapons, the treatment of immigrants and the alleviation of poverty and homelessness. Born Ramon Estevez to immigrant parents, his father from Spain and his mother from Ireland, Martin is one of 10 children, nine boys and a girl. He was the first child to be born in the United States, in Dayton, Ohio.
In addition to his film and TV career, Sheen also has co-authored book with his son, Emilio Estevez. Copies of the "Along the Way: The Journey of a Father and Son" will be available at the event.
Tickets are on sale. More information about the event and reservations is available by calling the center at 814-536-5361.

Scaling Linux to New Heights: the SGI Altix 3000 System
SGI recently debuted its new 64-bit, 64-processor, Linux system based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor—a significant announcement for the company and for Linux. This system marks the opening of a new frontier as scientists working on complex and demanding high-performance computing (HPC) problems can now use and deploy Linux in ways never before possible. HPC environments continually push the limits of the operating system by requiring larger numbers of CPUs, higher I/O bandwidth and faster and more efficient parallel programming support.
Early on in the system's development, SGI made the decision to use Linux exclusively as the operating system for this new platform. It proved to be a solid and very capable operating system for the technical compute environments that SGI targets. With the combination of SGI NUMAflex global shared-memory architecture, Intel Itanium 2 processors and Linux, we were breaking records long before the system was introduced.
The new system, called the SGI Altix 3000, has up to 64 processors and 512GB of memory. A future version will offer up to 512 processors and 4TB. In this article, we explore the hardware design behind the new SGI system, describe the software development involved to bring this new system to market and show how Linux can readily scale and be deployed in the most demanding HPC environments.
The SGI Altix 3000 system uses Intel Itanium 2 processors and is based on the SGI NUMAflex global shared-memory architecture, which is the company's implementation of a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architecture. NUMAflex was introduced in 1996 and has since been used in the company's renowned SGI Origin family of servers and supercomputers based on the MIPS processor and the IRIX 64-bit operating system. The NUMAflex design enables the CPU, memory, I/O, interconnect, graphics and storage to be packaged into modular components, or bricks. These bricks can then be combined and configured with tremendous flexibility to match a customer's resource and workload requirements better. Leveraging this third-generation design, SGI was able to build the SGI Altix 3000 system using the same bricks for I/O (IX- and PX-bricks), storage (D-bricks) and interconnect (router bricks/R-bricks). The primary difference in this new system is the CPU brick (C-brick), which contains the Itanium 2 processors. Figure 1 shows the types of bricks used on the SGI Altix 3000 system. Figure 2 depicts how these bricks can be combined into two racks to make a single-system-image 64-processor system.
On a well-designed and balanced hardware architecture such as NUMAflex, it is the operating system's job to ensure that users and applications can fully exploit the hardware without being hindered due to inefficient resource management or bottlenecks. Achieving balanced hardware resource management on a large NUMA system requires starting kernel development long before the first Itanium 2 processors and hardware prototype systems arrive. In this case, we also used the first-generation Itanium processors for making the CPU scaling, I/O performance and other changes to Linux necessary for demanding HPC environments.
The first step in preparing the software before the prototype hardware arrives is identifying, as best you can, the necessary low-level hardware register and machine programming changes the kernel will need for system initialization and runtime. System manufacturers developing custom ASICs for highly advanced systems typically use simulation software and tools to test their hardware design. Before hardware was available, we developed and used simulators extensively for both the system firmware and kernel development to get the system-level software ready.
When the original prototype hardware based on first-generation Itanium processors arrived, it was time for power-on. One of the key milestones was powering the system on for the first time and taking a processor out of reset, then fetching and executing the first instructions from PROM.
After power-on, the fun really began with long hours and weekends in the hardware "bring-up" lab. This is where hardware, diagnostic and platform-software engineers worked together closely to debug the system and get the processor through a series of important milestones: PROM to boot prompt, Linux kernel through initialization, reading and mounting root, reaching single-user mode and then going into multi-user mode and then connecting to the network. After that, we did the same thing all over again with multiple processors and multiple nodes—typically pursued in parallel—with several other bring-up teams at other stations that trail closely behind the lead team's progress.
Once we had Linux running on the prototype systems with first-generation Itanium processors, software engineers could proceed with ensuring that Linux ran and, in particular, scaled well on large NUMA systems. We built and used numerous in-house, first-generation Itanium-based systems to help ensure that Linux performed well on large systems. By early 2001, we had succeeded in running a 32-processor Itanium-based system—the first of its kind.
These first-generation Itanium-based systems were key in having Linux ready for demanding HPC requirements. Well before the first Itanium 2 processors were available from Intel, the bulk of the scaling, I/O performance and other changes for Linux could be developed and tested.
As one group of SGI software engineers was busy working on performance, scaling and other issues, using prototypes with first-generation Itanium processors, another team of hardware and platform-software engineers was getting the next-generation SGI C-brick with Itanium 2 processors ready for power-on to repeat the bring-up process all over again.
By mid-2002, the bring-up team had made excellent progress, from power-on of a single processor to running a 64-processor system. The 64-processor system with Itanium 2 processors again marked the first of its kind. All this, of course, was with Linux running in a single-system image.
Throughout this whole process, we passed any changes in Linux or bugs found back to the kernel developers for inclusion in a future release of Linux.
Couple more questions for Steve on CPUs and the technology.
Why the process of choosing the Itanium 2 CPU? What are the benefits of this platform in your view? Would other CPUs have worked as well (PowerPC, MIPS, AMD/Hammer) or could there be processor module versions based on these models in the future? Can the traditional workstation market benefit from some of this technology (i.e. an small case with support for 4 modules only)?

how many bogomips does this monster achieve 8-) ?
Re: BogoMIPS and Pricing
> how many bogomips does this monster achieve 8-) ?
First, please keep in mind that bogomips only times the cpu delay loop.
Thus, a bogomips value says nothing about memory bandwidth, parallel
instructions, cache sizes, etc. Thus, while it may be interesting to know
how fast a cpu spins while doing nothing, it doesn't say much about what
it can do with real work. :^)
Second, the method for calculating bogomips will be vary depending
on the processor, so this number should not be used to compare between
different processors types. For example, on the Intel Itanium processor,
it times the following loop (a single bundle using an instruction and loop
register that have been optimized for looping):
2e0: nop.m 0x0
2e6: nop.i 0x0
2ec: br.cloop.sptk.few 2e0 ;;
While on i386 with the rdtsc instruction (Pentium or better), bogomips
times the following loop (5 instructions, 3 registers and a read of the
hardware clock):
10: f3 90 repz nop
12: 0f 31 rdtsc
14: 29 c8 sub %ecx,%eax
16: 39 d8 cmp %ebx,%eax
18: 72 f6 jb 10
Given that comparing this number between different processors types is an apples to
oranges comparison, and FWIW, here's the info taken from a 64 processor (Intel Itanium 2),
SGI Altix(tm) system:
[root@parrot root]# grep processors /var/log/dmesg
Total of 64 processors activated (76359.40 BogoMIPS).
All processors have done init_idle
[root@parrot root]#
> And the price tag?
Please refer to the pricing and availability information in the
press release at:
Hope that helps.

Re: Scaling Linux to New Heights: the SGI Altix 3000 System
And the price tag?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

WENATCHEE, WASH. — The Rocky Reach Dam has straddled the wide, slow Columbia River since the 1950s. It generates enough electricity to supply homes and industries across Washington and Oregon.
But the dam in recent years hasn't produced as much power as it might: Its massive turbines act as deadly blender blades to young salmon, and engineers often have had to let the river flow over the spillway to halt the slaughter, wasting the water's energy potential.

Western NY
A Rochester man was sentenced Thursday to 33 months in prison and five years supervised release after being convicted of failing to register as a sex offender.
Attorneys say 80-year-old James "Willie" Kimble was a Level 3 sex offender after being convicted for the rape of a 17-year-old Rochester girl in 1981. He was also convicted for attempted rape in a case involving a six-year-old Rochester girl.
Kimble is the main suspect in an unsolved rape and murder case involving a blind Rochester woman in 1972.
He disappeared after being contacted by Rochester homicide detectives, and was found almost a year later living in Florida where he failed to register as a sex offender.
He was acquitted of murder charges in 2011, and was taken into Federal custody, where he remained in prison.

This episode made me cry
This episode made me cry
Happy 2014
This was an ok episode.
Pokemon HeartGold team:
Great episode!
It's a shame we never find out if he really can speak to Pokemon though.
When Oddish, Ratata and Pidgey were in the pokemon centre I was hoping he would meet them again at the end but he didn't
I like this episode. The concept of a Pokemon Translator is original. Meowth also had a nice role in this episode. Simon talking about his past, with Pidgey, Rattata and Oddish was interesting. Officer Jenny went way too far, just accusing someone without a valid reason is unacceptable. She should be fired! I love this episode, 10/10.
This episode was alright and I liked the whole concept with the character of the day. Although this episode was not that interesting, I did in some cases liked it, but nothing exceptional.
An alright episode, wasn't too impressed by it. It was nice to see Meowth do a good deed in the end by helping Simon regain his confidence.
I didn't like when Officer Jenny said Pokemon can't understand human speech. Uhh, how do they understand when you call an attack then?
This was a decent Johto episode. The concept of a Poké-Spokesman is nice. I liked the scene where Pokéspokesman Simon was talking about his past....it's nice to see him talking with those Pidgey, Rattata and Oddish.
Officer Jenny was obnoxious in this episode, I didn't like how she was trying to arrest Simon without leting him show his Poké-speaking abilities to her. It was all those fake interpretors fault. Magnamite and Magnaton did the right thing by shocking the Interpretors, they deserved it. I'm glad Officer Jenny finally believed Simon after arresting them.

Mumbai terrorist attacks kill at least 100
Serial terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India's financial capital, have left at least 100 dead and 280 wounded. Teams of gunmen attacked two five-star hotels, a railway station, hospitals, and a restaurant famous for attracting tourists, the AP reports. The gunmen specifically targeted Americans and Britons at the hotels and the …
very sad
last i heard, the NSG was called in to take over the oberoi. i cannot remember the NSG ever taking any prisoners. we'll get those cowardly scumbags and when we do they'll pray they never listened to some senile POS promise them 72 virgins. hell they'll wish they were gay.
Horrible it was... I was within 200m of the Oberoi Hotel when it was attacked. According to a recent newsflash at least 10 of the terrorists were from Pakistan. The India-England ODI series has been cancelled, btw.. the team departs tonight.
I'd like to ask, when it is such a bloody open secret that the Pakistani government indirectly funds and supports terrorists, why is it not a target of the "war on terror"? They've even got WMDs, so that's a non-issue (unlike Iraq).
Tricky situation
Given the number of normally peaceful but inflammable muslims that live in India it will be important for the response of the Indian government to be just right or the chance of near civil war is possible.
BBC reporting
Funny that the BBC television news this morning appears to avoid the word "Muslim" when discussing these attacks in Mumbai or even the terrorist group called Deccan Mujahidee.
Cricket's cancelled.
Cue conspiracy theories about the Deccan Mujahideeen being a front for the ECB as a ploy to avoid the series whitewash.
Oh for the want of an ID card
<irony> If only India had ID cards, this clearly woudn't have occurred </irony>
Memo to Jacqui Smiff from Rusty Shackleford
My sympathies to the victims of this atrocity.
Now Jacqui, I think you'll find luv that India has issued lots of ID cards. So you see you and the countless 'millions of people who pester you for an id card every day' are simply wrong.
Do you see how your wrong? How Terrorists and id cards aren't even on the same page?
Must have been the Jehovah's Witnesses or the Hare Krishnas.
I'm sure the Religion of Peace could never be responsible for an act like this.
Truly Terrible
This is a truly terible occurence and my heart goes out to all the victims of this terrible incidence. Let's hope that the perportrators can be caught.
Terrible - and here's the IT angle
FIrst up, this is a terrible thing to happen - hope the Indian govt doesn't decide to use this as an excuse to (a) hit Pakistan or (b) start a purge of muslims in India.
Here's the IT angle - is this going to make companies busy 'off shoring' to India think twice? After all, would you want your call centre/app development in a place where one group of folks are being shot at by another, and where whities aren't welcome? (no racism/xenophobia meant)
Hope the Indian Police manage to find the organisers of this and put them in a deep dark hole for a long time...
Everything bad happens every year...
... but this Government still thinks and begs for ballot votes.
Wonderful news for the UK IT industry...
Will this make the bosses think about outsourcing a bit more carefully?
Mate in Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) tells me they're nervous (and a helluvalotta production in India) so.......
I can fucki*ing understand why. I was slated as an NSN trainer to go to Mumbai, and give training about this time, fuc*k that. I went to Israel (Natanya) to give training at the start of the Intafada 5 years ago, 'cos no-one else would. No sweat, just a bloke blew himself up 2km from where I was training. So loud, I suggested a coffee break.
Didn't hurt me, but the suicide bomber now has 47 virgins, (presumably, ex-virgins, assuming Allah has given him a new tadger), to nag him for eternity. Just rewards.Serves the sod right, I say..
Nowadays, I wouldn't even go to Matatma Kote's Curry House in Bradford even if you paid me. Unless enough...
most of india is very angry at this attack, at the sick bunch of shitbags who call themselves politicians here.
we should probably take the us to court for creating the mujahedin. while the US is powerful enough and has no qualms about using the dirtiest tricks, we unfortunately lack both in power and in these Machiavellian manipulations. and so we suffer..
clear evidence points to Pakistan's involvement, yet the world chooses to turn a blind eye and even arm it to "counter" India, a country which is as bovine as the proverbial holy cow.
@Andus McCoatover
I probably wouldn't go to Matatma Kote, but Akbars of Bradford would have to be on fire before I would consider not going there.
Flames because of Akbar's Challenge Curry.
their lawful rights towards self-determination
musharraf: people fighting for their rights towards self-determination
bush: terrorism
india: confused
commoners: voting & dying
it is becoming a sick rhetoric:
"dastardly act, condemnable"
"heart, spleen & genitals goes out to those who lost their lives"
"army/nsg/... are the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country"
etc & etc.
cut talking shit, replace democracy with something more viable & action oriented.

Video: Safer Riding with Cycle Tracks
Check out this cool video (a mix of live action and animations) about the benefits of cycle tracks, separated bike lanes between sidewalks and parked cars, and buffered bike lanes. In this video, Portland's Transportation Policy Director Catherine Ciarlo tells just how they all work to create streets that are more efficient and safer for people on bikes and in cars.
The SF Bicycle Coalition can imagine many streets in San Francisco that would benefit from these separated bike lanes. Imagine a buffered bike lane on JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park where the bike lane and car parking lanes would be swapped to create an exclusive lane of travel for people on bikes. Or how about busy Folsom Street in SOMA, where bicycle riders would be buffered from the multiple lanes of fast-moving vehicle traffic. Or better yet, how about on Townsend Street which currently lacks both sidewalks and bike lanes for the large numbers of people who walk and bike to the Caltrain Station. You can bet that your SF Bicycle Coalition is working to make these ideas a reality.

3,000 Wisconsin pensioners rehired in 2013 (story, search data)
More than 3,000 public-sector retirees returned to work for a public employer while drawing a pension from the Wisconsin Retirement System last year, the first year the state tracked such movement.
Two Rivers school administrator working for free
Randy Fredrikson's salary and benefits totaled nearly $170,000 last year as district administrator of the Two Rivers Public School District, but he's taken a bit of a pay cut this year.
The compensation of public-sector employees has dominated much of Wisconsins political and economic discussion during the past few years. But whats been lacking in that discussion is a way to compare what those employees earn in various places, in various circumstances. What We Pay: Your tax dollars and the salaries they support attempts to give you a way to make those comparisons, so that you can be better informed about how your taxes are used. Read more

BBM outage Toronto?
Am i being neurotic or are my BBMs not delivering all of a sudden?
Working fine - Rogers in Toronto on Z10. I just sent a message and it got delivered.
That said, when I launched BBM, it said it was associating my BlackBerry ID with BBM and it updated something. - 02-22-2013, 03:40 PM Thread Author #5
I believe it just updated my contact list and address book. I don't believe it was a software update. Like the above poster said, it appeared as though I was signed out of BBM.
Working perfectly fine though with super fast Delivery notifications and my chats with others are exchanged almost instantly. I just BBMed someone who's on Rogers and someone who's in the US on ATT and it's working fine for me.Last edited by sk8er_tor; 02-22-2013 at 03:53 PM.

I'm on Bell and there seems to be a little delay with BBM not going through..
Hater of all things APPLE.... Innovation, really? iphone = itouch with a phone, ipad = bigger itouch... give me a break!
Evaluation of awesomeness:7230, 8830 World Edition, 9800, 9860, and now a shiny new Z10 plus 2 x 32g Playbooks - 02-22-2013, 03:58 PM Thread Author #14
Yep I'm on a Z10. And well my BBMs were in the "sending phase" for a long time before getting a red x. How they are sent with a checkmark but not delivered on the other end. Progress? lol
My BBM's were "sending" for a few minutes before finally failing. I left my Z10 alone for a while as I was driving and when I got home and opened up BBM it looked as if I had just signed in to BBM for the first time. Now everything seems to be working fine and messages are flying back and forth.
My Z10 is on Rogers in Toronto.Don't take Life so seriously, you'll never get out alive - 02-22-2013, 04:10 PM Thread Author #18
HAH. working as well, on Bell. Well congrats folks, in the time that some people take to shower and not even notice this blip in service, we on crackberry dissected it, narrowed it down... and waited
Still not working for me, day 4, Bell in Kitchener, spoke to Blackberry tech, no news on a fix, they're working on it. I've been a user of blackberry for years and supporter of my local company eventhough lots of others are going to other phones, I may have to rethink my position.

McNicoll Bus Garage
In 2006 the TTC was proposing lands near Kennedy Road and McNicoll Avenue be acquired to build a bus garage. TTC hosted a public open house on November 27, 2013 to gather input from residence and area businesses. TTC has advised within the next five years, the TTC will need a new bus garage to accommodate its growing ridership and expanding bus fleet. Zoning by-laws allow the bus garage to be built as it is zoned for "Heavy Industrial". Residents raised concerns regarding increase emissions, added traffic, disruption of noise from early morning, and late evening bus traffic. TTC will run an Environmental Project Report to address these concerns. This will also include a Traffic Impact Study to determine what options will be needed. [7]
Mount Dennis/Weston Road LRT carhouse
A planned maintenance and storage facility for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT would be built on a derelict parcel of land between Weston Road and Black Creek Drive. The derelict parcel was a Kodak plant for almost 100 years. The yard will be adjacent to the Weston Road LRT station and a new GO train station.
