The Cyclones led 37-33 at halftime, and was ahead 71-68 with less than 10 seconds left in regulation, but the Longhorns' loannis Papapetrou hit a three pointer with 1.7 seconds to play, to send it to overtime.

Thanks to Joann's organising we were picked up from our hotel by a mini bus for our transfer to Civitavecchia. Embarkation was easy, no dramas or hiccups.
Although at this point I should mention that I was very annoyed, when I discovered through my own research that not all balcony's have a cover over them...who knew! I feel that either the travel agent or NCL should warn passengers that this may be the case. When you book your cabin it's not really something you think about when picking a cabin, you just assume they are all covered. Live and learn. People above us could look down on to our balcony.
Like many passengers that embarked in Rome the restaurant bookings and spa booking I had booked and paid for pre-cruise didn't exist in the ships system.
I rang guest services about the spa/massage I'd booked and they told me that I'd have to chase it up with the actual spa...um, no I don't, isn't that your job, guest services!!
LE Bistro - Loved it, favourite restaurant/meal on the ship.
Teppanyaki - We thought it was very ordinary, everything just cooked in Soy sauce. I think the whole experience depends on how good the chef is at not only his foodie skills but his entertaining skills as well.
Spa/ massage - Cancelled it. When you book through the NCL website the cost is $129 for a 50 min massage, extravagant but what the heck we are on holidays. Then they add on tax, then you find out that because you are sailing in Spanish waters there is another tax added on, so now the massage is $179, no thanks!
Buffet - Good, loads to choose from.
O'Sheehans - Became our local. Nice relaxed atmosphere, decent breakfast. Shared many a drink and laugh with Dave and Joann. More than just a bar, Joann learnt sooo much in O'Sheehans, including Gary's No1 recipe, Toad-in-the-hole !
Ice bar - Good fun, you should do it if you've never been in one before. Try it topless, no not me, that crazy yank Dave.
Martini tasting - Had 5 martinis in 1 hr, oh yeah and they were strong, phew. Not complaining though. The staff in the Shakers bar are lovely, especially Michael.
We found the drinks on the ship very reasonably priced.
We only did one pivate pre organised tour and that was in Florence, well done Jay.
In other ports we thought that there would be enough for us to amuse ourselves for one day rather than try and cram too much in. Tour took us through Tuscany to Pisa. Would love to say how lovely it was but most of us fell asleep due to the "Grande " beers at lunch, oops !! Loved Cannes, Marseille was picturesque around the marina, but we couldn't believe how much rubbish was in the water there. Barcelona, great, went to the Camp Nou stadium.
Naples, shopped, walked around. We were going back there post cruise.
Dis-embarkation was quite easy, only thing I didn't really like was that all your luggage had to be packed up the night before and left outside your room. On their website they say you can take your own luggage off, but on the ship they do try to discourage it.
Overall, we did have a lovely holiday, I think made all the more enjoyable by the people we met. A big thanks to Joann and Dave, really enjoyed your company,we now have new friends for life, hope we can catch up again.
Gary and Stef, so nice to meet you, loved your sense of humour.
Thank you to everyone who helped with pre booking tours and transfers, made life easier for us.
Not sure if I would cruise with NCL again, we did love the ship, easy to find your way around ect. Just the dramas with the pre booked items and the uncovered cabin ect and the way it was handled, puts me off.

Heroes of Origin
Steve Souza
So here we are again. Steve Souza, singer, songwriter, band leader, legend, metalhead, sports fan, father and horror aficionado extraordinaire, is back with another record. Not content to rest on the laurels of Hatriot's recent debut "Heroes of Origin," the man known as Zetro is determined to take the nearly unprecedented step of releasing two records inside a calendar year. The always outspoken and never shy Souza sat down with me again to talk about the new record, the present stage of metal, the latest Slayer developments, the rumors surrounding Dublin Death Patrol, the quandary of Hatriot, the Oakland Raiders and as ever, horror. It was, as you might imagine, a long conversation. In an interviewing first for me, Zetro started the conversation off without prompting. Read on and enjoy! _____________________________________________________________________________________
STEVE 'ZETRO' SOUZA: Have you seen "The Conjuring?" That is a good one, man. That is a fucking good one. Good story, creepy. Creepy and scary. I liked it, a lot. These guys are like paranormals and they're couple, they do all these kinds of paranormal exercises, and the guy keeps a trinket from every one that he does and he's got them in this room. Then he has to go and deal with this house and the house is totally fucking haunted. It's cool. It's one of the best horror flicks I've seen probably in ten years. Really good.

Steve Souza
Steve 'Zetro' Souza remains one of the biggest names in the annals of thrash, a person without whom the story of the genre's rise to fame cannot be told. Most famously the singer for Exodus, Souza has also been part of several other successful bands, including most recently Dublin Death Patrol. His unique, high-speed vocal style has become his calling card, and it will ring again as he ushers forth his new band, Hatriot. The man and I sat down and talked about...well, damn near anything. Horror, music, the state of the business, concert promotion, retirement and a bunch of other stuff. Read on for an engaging conversation.

On day 100, or maybe it was 200, or 250, or 300—hell, who's counting?—Jason Haas' dog refused to get into the car for another guidebook-researching trip to the South Platte, a vast, wild, forested region dotted with granite domes and crags southwest of Denver, Colorado. Haas' beater Saturn, which could barely power anymore up the region's steep dirt roads, was so trashed it was leaking exhaust into the backseat. The dog couldn't breathe, and wasn't getting in the car again. Not this time, no way. By the time it was all said and done, Haas had climbed 1,487 of the nearly 1,600 routes described in his, Ben Schneider, and Craig Weinhold's new guidebook South Platte Climbing: The Northern Volume, 38.95, on sale early May 2012, which offers 432 big, beautiful, glossy, full-color pages for an area, often cloaked in secrecy, that's not seen a comprehensive new guide in years. To complete the book, Haas wrote off 15,000 miles of driving and spent 430 days on the stone, 100 of those with his wife; he also established first ascents that included a 5.14a and a 5.13c crack, and a few off-route death climbs he strayed onto trying to find existing lines. Haas' partners logged a total of 300 days combined, and the crew often climbed in small packs, descending "brushfire style" on a cliff to check out as many routes as possible and snap photos. Their endeavor took 4.5 years. In a destination where the approaches, history, beta, and first-ascent provenance are often cloaked in deliberate and provincial obscurity, theirs was a massive undertaking. The Southern Volume, with hundreds more climbs, is still to come and will offer similar challenges. The Platte is most known for the Cathedral Spires, a beetling of wild pinnacles up a grueling gravel hill above the South Platte River, and their centerpiece Cynical Pinnacle, with the four-pitch Wunsch's Dihedral, often called the best 5.11 in Colorado. Then there's the famously manmade (but now closed) Sphinx Crack, one of America's early 5.13s, cragging destinations like Turkey Rocks and Thunder Ridge, epic-big multi-pitch domes like Big Rock Candy Mountain, and so much more. An infinity of granite, really. The catch is, "the Platte" isn't one single set of cliffs, but instead a region so vast and with its rocks so spread out, often way into the woods or up some axle-snapping dirt road, that you pick one as your destination and go only there. I had a typical "Platte day" lost in the trees, pissed off and overheating, two years ago. It was a day that this book, with its crag GPS coordinates, approach photographs, detailed road and cliff maps, and full-color photo-topos, will beautifully and finally obviate. Navigating off some terse, crappy, four-line Web description that listed only a handful of climbs, four of us tried to find our way to Asshole Rock, up off Forest Road 550 in the Buffalo Creek area. One hour passed, two, as we made circles in the woods, scrambling onto boulders to look for something—anything—resembling a cliff. Finally, we found the climber's trail, but by then the dogs had drank all the water, the sun burned high and bright in a clear June sky, and it was time to go back to camp and drink. Well, page 231 of South Platte Climbing: The Northern Volume would have rendered a much different "Platte day": as an example, it features photos of the parking lot, forks labeled in the approach trail, both facets of the rock with route lines drawn and numbered on, and detailed beta for the crag and its sixteen climbs, including pitch lengths, sun/shade aspect, a grade breakdown, star ratings, and a checkbox for ticking off routes. All of the amenities of the modern, full-color, full-service guidebook are presented in a logical, clear, easy-to-use format. With essays from Platte pioneers and tons of juicy action and historical shots, this book is a true treasure. It is a labor of love that climbers will love. The Platte tends toward slab and crack climbing, and is thus not for everybody. If you don't like long approaches, raw elements (lots of sun and wind), sometimes grainy or crystalline rock, runouts, mankous old bolts, and a general atmosphere of funk, the Platte won't appeal to you on the whole, though the true classics should speak to everybody. The book does, however, also include the sport climbing of Devil's Head up on the Rampart Range road, with steep fins of red-brown and orange granite equipped with hundreds of modern sport climbs from 5.7 to 5.13. (Devil's Head is also wonderfully detailed in Rampart Range Rocks by Tod Anderson, one of the area's prime developers and its main motivating force. By Haas' account, there are as many prospective climbs left in the Platte as there are ones that have been completed. Now, with Fixed Pin's stellar guidebook in play, perhaps more climbers will be encouraged to get out and explore. —Matt Samet
Really, really WANT!!!!!
So glad a new, comprehensive South Platte guide is coming out.
Good job Jason, et al on gathering in all the obscure information! As noted above, the Devils Head crags are covered extensively in Tod's book Rampart Range Rocks which is available in almost all outdoor retailers in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico and online at www.bentgate.com/rararobytoda.html All proceeds that Tod receives go back to the climbing community in the form of new routes and the maintenance of existing ones.
I'd also like to point out that Tod replaces hardware and maintains routes all over the place (CCC for one example) on a regular basis without bravado. He does this out of pocket regardless of guide book sales, they just help. If you clip bolts anywhere on the Front Range, you are likely benefiting greatly from Tod's continual work. I'll leave it at that.
Looks like a huge improvement over the current guide. I am certainly looking forward to more Platte climbing and less Platte wandering. Thanks Jason and partners for putting together what appears to be an awesome guide. Jason, if you make a larger profit by sales of your book through your website - perhaps post up, once the book is available. I would rather give my money directly to you, instead of going through REI. Also great to hear kudos for Tod. Thanks for all of your hard work, Tod! Wally
Wally, yes we do make more money off the book if you order directly off our website, thanks for caring about that. While Fixed Pin is a business, we use a lot of additional income from website sales for bolt/anchor replacements in a lot of different climbing areas. As Derek said, Tod's book is a great resource if you want to climb just at Devil's Head and people should check it out. Tod has also done a lot of great things for the community including replacing old hardware - he's a good guy all around. And not to take anything away from that, but the information on Devil's Head in our book is quite different in regards to grades, quality ratings, bolt counts, trad rack suggestions, pitch lengths, where routes go, etc, as well as a few additional routes, so I encourage people to look at both.
Thanks for the tip Wally. I ordered one of these myself direct from the website. From a few brief run ins with Jason I can say he seems like a great guy and based on the quality of his Flatirons book I have high expectations for this one. With two small children I do not get a lot of time to climb so getting lost in the South Platte maze of forrest roads and trails is not an option for me, I need to make it count.
The book is amazing. I can only imagine the amount of work that was put into it. Although I haven't had a chance to test it; the descriptions and pictures are well done, and the historical info is a plus. It's the type of guidebook you can sit there and actually read as well as plan your next climb. Thanks for all the effort!
So, why did this book get a review and not the new Rampart Range book? I guess it is all who you know? Why not review all guidebooks I guess is what I am saying as these are very crucial to climbers (not the climber types who print mp.com beta)
I did mean Tod Anderson's book! So, I can do a review and ask Tod questions and post my questions/answers as if I were a moderator and I can therefore assume that I will get near the views that they would? I doubt it.
Like I or anyone else here cares that an Admin wrote the review? Just write up Tod's book, Chris. I have already seen the guide book and think it's great.
AWESOME responses dudes. Thanks. I was just curious about publicity/marketing power or whatever, but maybe I'm overreacting. Stay tuned! My review will coin this guidebook as being pretty much the bible/definitive of guidebooks (or so many would think!)
Not sure about the whole guidebook review process and all. But a new Splatte book was a long over-due project that needed to be done; cudos. It's just too bad Devil's Head had to be included after everything that's happened and has been said. www.mountainproject.com/v/devils-head-guidebook-poaching-/10>>>
Jason, Ben. . . When will the southern volume be out????? The north volume is . . . AWESOME!!!!!!!!
To answer to question why this book was reviewed and not Tod's book? Very simple. No one has done it and sent it to me to put up on the site or added it themselves. In the South Platte case, Matt Samet emailed me, (my email address is published on this site) and asked me to put the word out that the book was coming out and whether I would be willing to publish a review he is doing for it. I treated Matt's request like anyone else that emails me. If it is newsworthy and of interest to the site, I'll put it up. I didn't get anything out of it. I paid full retail for my own copy of the guidebook. I also brought a couple copies of the new colorado mountain bike guidebook at full price directly from them to support fixedpin. By the way it is totally awesome. There is no conspiracy going on here folks. If someone wants to review Tod's book, I'm willing to help put the word out and publish it. To do that someone needs to write it and then I need permission from the author to use images from the book, etc. So who is going to do it?
How 'bout just a review of the review? Jesusfish. Can a man get a paragraph break now and then? PLEASE!?! (But good beta, nontheless...)

First, the good news: The eye injury sustained by Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton in a Jacksonville night club in the wee hours the morning of April 8 is not considered career-threatening and there are no criminal charges expected to be filed against Knighton.
But the injury, which comes on the heels of "Pot Roast" reporting to the club's first offseason workouts in the best shape since his rookie season, could make it more difficult for Knighton to earn the new long-term deal GM Gene Smith promised if he kept his weight down and played well in 2012.
While it remains to be seen how long the injury will sideline Knighton, it is possible it will prevent him from participating in the rest of the club's offseason program spanning through the end of May, which, in turn, could make it difficult for him to keep his weight down. The Jaguars are unlikely to be sympathetic toward Knighton in this scenario given Smith's well-known requirement of his players not making negative headlines off the field.

Morgan State senior forward Thair Heath was hospitalized in fair condition late Monday night after a hard fall during the Bears' road game against Coppin State in Baltimore. Heath was removed from the court on a stretcher in a neck immobilizer. According to the Baltimore Sun, he was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where X-rays were negative. With 13:51 left in the first half, Heath drove the lane and was fouled by Coppin State senior forward Michael Murray. Heath was down for nearly 20 minutes, the Sun reported. "He's a great kid," Bears coach Todd Bozeman told the Sun regarding Heath. "(His status Monday night is) a good thing and we're happy about that. He's a good kid and he plays hard. He'll bounce back. He's a tough kid." The Bears won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game 82-77. In 14 games this season, Heath is averaging 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.3 minutes of action. His big performance came in his season debut, when he scored 12 points in 10 minutes against Howard on Dec. 7. A native of Long Beach, Calif., Heath helped Dominguez High School in Compton, Calif., win a state title before playing one season for San Bernardino Valley College. He is in his third season at Morgan State, and he started 12 games as a junior.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City are fielding interesting lineups for their Carling Cup quarterfinal clash, and they're a bit ambiguous. Arsenal could be playing a 4-3-3 with Park Chu-Young as a wide forward or they could be playing a 4-4-2 with Yossi Benayoun as a winger. Manchester City's lineup looks like a 4-5-1, but that would mean that natural fullback Pablo Zabaleta was playing in midfield, something that he's done before. We'll just have to wait and see what it looks like on the pitch. Here are the lineups.
Arsenal Lineup (4-3-3): Fabianski; Djourou, Koscielny, Miquel, Yennaris; Frimpong, Benayoun, Coquelin; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Park, Chamakh
Manchester City Lineup (4-5-1): Pantilimon; Onuoha, Savic, K. Toure, Kolarov; Johnson, de Jong, Nasri, Hargreaves, Zabaleta; Dzeko

Public Abstract:
In order to move stem cell research closer to the clinic and fully realize the potential these cells have in bettering the human condition, researchers must learn as much as possible about how these cells replicate and differentiate into adult tissue. They must be able to identify cells at specific stages in complex mixtures and have the ability to isolate them for detailed analysis. The most useful set of tools for accomplishing this are antibodies which recognize specific proteins that are expressed at certain stages in the cell's path toward the fully differentiated state. There currently exists a broadly known set of markers and antibodies that have been used in the field for some time. Many of these markers are proteins that reside inside the cell which essentially requires killing the cells to allow the antibodies to recognize their target. Up to now, there have been few concerted efforts to identify new markers and develop antibodies to them. Key to isolation of specific populations of cells for basic research, diagnostics, or therapy will be to have a robust set of antibodies that recognize specific lineage markers that reside in the cell membrane and are accessible to antibodies without killing the cells one is trying to isolate. The project proposed in this application will use the most modern cell culture, proteomic, and molecular tools to create a workflow for identification of novel lineage-specific membrane protein markers. These markers will in turn be used to create new antibody tools that will allow identification and isolation of live cells from cultures and complex tissue preparations. These new antibodies will fill a necessary (and currently somewhat empty) toolbox for fast detection and gentle isolation of cells at specific points in differentiation both for study and eventually for diagnostic and clinical use.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The work proposed here will push the boundaries of stem cell research by providing a new set of modern tools for identification and isolation of cells at specific points as they differentiate to adult tissue. These tools will be developed by a California company known to lead the field of research reagents that will ensure rapid and efficient development and broad distribution of the new tools to the research community. By partnering California tax payer money for this development and the reagent tools powerhouse of a known California-bases reagent provider, the taxpayers can be assured that repayment of their investment in the form of agreed upon royalties on sales of these tools would be forthcoming. Further, successful development of this new set of stem cell tools in California, by Californians will increase the stature of this state as a center of expertise for stem cell research.
Review Summary:
This proposal focuses on the identification of novel, lineage-specific membrane markers for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). These markers will be validated by the development of novel antibodies that will allow the identification, isolation and tracking of stem cells and their various progeny. Using MSCs and their in vitro differentiated progeny as proof-of-principle, the Principal Investigator (PI) proposes to use a proteomic approach to identify differentially expressed cell surface proteins and generate monoclonal antibodies to epitopes on these molecules. The utility of these antibodies will be validated in part by attempts to isolate MSCs from complex tissue sources. A final component of the project is to use the same proteomic approach to identify membrane markers for neural precursor cells derived from hESCs. The reviewers agreed that this proposal addresses a significant roadblock to stem cell research. However, they noted that its strategy is high-risk and raised concerns about feasibility. They praised the PI and research team as qualified to carry out the proposed research. The reviewers agreed that this proposal could have a broad impact on the field. There is a pressing need to identify membrane markers that distinguish stem cells from their differentiated progeny. If this proposal were successful, it would yield valuable antibody reagents for the stem cell research community. One reviewer did question the significance of the proposal, noting that there are at least ten different commercially available antibodies for MSCs. But other reviewers commented that most of these antibodies are generic and confirmed that this proposal addresses an important need. These reviewers also noted that MSC populations are often heterogeneous and poorly defined. They thought the PI could have made a stronger case for the value of MSC antibodies that distinguish subpopulations within a culture. The reviewers' main concern with this proposal was its feasibility. The PI acknowledges that the strategy is high-risk and may identify as few as one unique marker, although they hope for ten. Reviewers felt that the preliminary data was not strong enough to justify this high-risk approach. They also raised some concerns about the research design. One reviewer noted that the antibody enrichment criteria set in the second aim of the proposal may not be high enough to obtain meaningful results. Preliminary data presented in the proposal further support the view that substantial further optimization of the protocol will be required. The lack of stronger preliminary data is a weakness of the proposal. Another reviewer found the third aim to be overly ambitious, describing collection and analysis of proteomic data from cells derived from number of donors, as well as induced differentiation products. It was unclear to this reviewer why differentiated progeny have value if the goal is to discriminate MSCs from alternate tissue sources. Overall, this reviewer felt that the third aim could be dropped in favor of the fourth, which represents the greatest value in the proposal by developing lineage-specific tools to discriminate hESC-derived progenitors from each other and their differentiated progeny. The reviewers praised the research team and found it well qualified to carry out the proposed research. They noted that the PI has a very strong background in stem cell biology and biomarkers, the co-investigator has complementary expertise in proteomics and mass spectrometry and the research technician is experienced in stem cell research. The reviewers also appreciated the PI's committed effort for this project. They felt the budget was appropriate but one reviewer commented on the lack of details on the consultant's role and time commitment on this project. Overall, the reviewers felt this was a strong proposal from an excellent team that could have a broad impact on stem cell research. However they described the approach as high-risk and questioned its feasibility as written. PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW A motion was made to move this proposal from Tier 2 to Tier 1 based on the need for additional valuable immunoreactive reagents to identify, track and isolate cells. Other panel members noted that other proposals in the biomarker category had been recommended for funding and that programmatically the biomarker category was adequately represented. The motion failed to move this application from Tier 2 to Tier 1 failed.

Graduate study at Princeton, at both the doctoral and, in most cases, the master's level, requires full-time commitment to study and research on the part of students. The Graduate School's financial support structure, which extends throughout the length of the student's program and ordinarily includes summers, is one indication of that requirement. Accordingly, the Graduate School considers employment beyond full fellowship, teaching or research support or its equivalent to be incompatible with full-time graduate study.
Should a student and that student's departmental adviser(s) believe that additional part-time employment is both professionally relevant and necessary and also unlikely to hinder timely progress towards the degree, the student may, on a case-by-case basis, request approval for exceptions to this policy. In no case should students still enrolled and receiving full financial support toward their degree program work more over the course of a semester or the summer than an average of 10 additional hours per week (which may include teaching at most one course at another institution). Arrangements for such additional part-time employment must be approved by the departmental director of graduate studies and, where the student has already passed the general examination, the student's dissertation adviser. If the department offers the student an Assistantship in Instruction (AI) appointment or an Assistantship in Research (AR) appointment, the student must accept the AI and/or AR appointment as the primary obligation and form of support.
International students here on a student visa are limited by federal regulations to no more than 20 hours of employment per week, which includes AI and/or AR appointments and any on- or off-campus work. In addition, international students may not accept off-campus employment without authorization from the Office of Visa Services (for example, in the case of employment related to CPT courses), the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, in the case of OPT eligible employment), or the J-1 program sponsor.
This policy last updated by the Policy Subcommittee of the Faculty Committee of the Graduate School on May 21, 2014.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the possibility that multiple teams could tie for the AL wild card and what that might do to the postseason schedule.
Thursday, MLB released the official postseason schedule and they're asking for schedule trouble:
The Division Series will run from Saturday, October 6th though Friday, October 12th, with two potential Game Fives on both Thursday, October 11th and Friday, October 12th.
Why is this an issue? Jayson Stark explains:
MLB finally announced 2012 postseason sked. NO off day between ALDS Game 5 & ALCS Game 1 even though the ALCS site depends on ALDS outcome!— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) August 9, 2012
Insert Bud Selig hotel room joke here.
Seriously, though -- what happens if there's a multiple-team tie? Or, as is common in October in many parts of the USA, weather postpones a game? I can see the steam coming out of Bud's ear now -- you now, the ear he's always sticking his hand behind to hear better.
MLB has to cross its proverbial fingers and hope none of those unusual, but hardly rare, scenarios come to pass.
You can find the entire postseason schedule, along with broadcast information, here.

Maine Job Creating Transportation Projects, Question 3 (June 2010)
The proposed bond package included: $24.8 million for highways, $16 million for rails, $6.5 million for the Ocean Gateway Deep Water Pier in Portland, $500,000 for small harbor improvements, $5 million for Ocean Wind Power R&D and $5 million for the improved dental services. Funds dedicated to rails included funds to purchase the railroad line in Aroostook County.[4] The $57.8 million bond package was referred to the ballot following a 30-5 vote in the Senate and a 102-44 vote in the House.[5][6][7]
Despite the approval of Question 3, the purchase of a 233-mile-long rail line in northern Maine remains in limbo. According to reports the anticipated purchase price for the rail line is $17 million, however before the deal is made a federal agency has to approve the company's request to abandon the line. Despite continued negotiations, one thing is certain, the state of Maine will not be running the railroad. "I know there's still people who think DOT is going to run a railroad -- no, we don't do that, we're not allowed to do that," said Transportation Commissioner David Cole. According to reports the state transportation officials and the Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway had until July 9, 2010 to reach final negotiations regarding the purchase price of the rail line.[8]
Election results
|Question 3
Official election results via the Maine Secretary of State.
Text of measure
The ballot language read as follows:[9]
Do you favor a $47,800,000 bond issue to create jobs in Maine through improvements to highways, railroads and marine facilities, including port and harbor structures, and specifying the allocation of $4,000,000 of the transportation bond approved by voters in November 2009 to be used for capital rail purposes?
Initially the package called for an $85 million bond but was later reduced after the Senate failed to approve the package in early April 2010. The $85 million proposal included: $31 million for highway or road projects, $9 million for port or harbor improvements, $17 million for environmental and energy projects, and $17 million to purchase 240 miles of rail lines between Millinocket and Madawaska from the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway.[10]
Throughout the legislative session several bond proposals were made including a "jobs bond" proposal that proposed a $99.2 million that included funds for highways, rails, energy conservation and clean water projects.[11][12] Specifically the bond would have included: $47.5 million for highway construction, $20 million to purchase the abandoned Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway in Aroostook County, and $5 million for drinking-water and wastewater improvement projects.[13]
Gov. John Baldacci, proponent of the bond measure, argued that the measure will help create 1,898 jobs and preserve existing jobs in Maine. Of the proposal, Sen. Kevin Raye said, "It was important to me to reduce the unaffordable $85 million bond package down to a fiscally responsible level. At the same time, I worked to ensure that $4 million for vital improvements to Route 1 Down East were included within that smaller amount. This is a very good outcome for Washington County residents."[14]
The Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce voted May 20, 2010 to endorse the four bond measures that appeared on the statewide ballot. According to board Chair Michael Ballesteros the bonds were in line with the chamber's interest's of the state's business community. The Portland Chamber of Commerce also supportsedthe bond measures.[15]
Gov. John Baldacci supported the four June 2010 bond measures. In his weekly radio address he said the bonds would help boost the economy, help small businesses and support energy independence. Baldacci noted that he understood the reluctance to vote in favor of the measures but argued that Maine was conservative with borrowing and paid its debt in less than half the time it took most states.[16][17]
Tactics and strategies
In May 2010 Dana Connors, president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, said a coalition was being formed to launch an advertising campaign in support of the bond proposals. According to Connors they were planning to do some "advertising." Connors argued that the bonds would help create jobs.
Some supporters said that although they did support the proposed bonds on the June 8, 2010 ballot, they worried that voters wouldn't readily approve them, particularly because the state and the country were coming out of a recession. Chris Hall, vice president of the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce said that supporters had to work hard to convince voters. "We did have some members on our board that opposed our endorsement because of those same concerns. But most, more than 60 percent, supported all of the bond package," he said.[18]
Opponents of the proposed bond measure questioned whether the state should take on more debt while the state was trying to recover from drops in revenue and a difficult economy. Rep. Robert Nutting argued that the proposed bond could have waited another year.[19]
The Maine Heritage Policy Center was opposed to the bonds that appeared on the June 2010 ballot. Center President Tarren Bragdon said that while bonds were appropriate for some state needs, Maine had too much debt. "It's our hope that the voters will reject some of these and send a strong message to the politicians in Augusta that if you are not going to be responsible with our credit card, then we will take matters into our own hands and vote no. We are going to say no more debt, not now."[18][20]
Scott Moody, an economist for the center, wrote a study which ultimately concluded that Maine's debt would leave lawmakers with two options: reduce spending or raise taxes. "Before any new debt is approved, Mainers should insist that legislators deal with these ballooning, unfunded retirement liabilities first and foremost," said Moody.[21]
Media endorsements
- Main article: Endorsements of Maine ballot measures, 2010
- The Bangor Daily News supported Bond Questions 2, 3, 4 and 5. In an editorial the board said, "States, unlike the federal government, are unable to spend into the red. That's a good thing. But with interest rates at historic lows, these bonds are a bargain for building and rebuilding Maine. They should be passed."[22]
- The Brunswick Times Record supported Bond Question 3. "Approving Question 3 will create jobs and promote business and job growth in all regions of our state. These are well-conceived strategic investments — and they represent a mere fraction of what we should be spending to improve our transportation networks statewide," said the editorial board.[23]
- The Journal Tribune supported the bond question. In an editorial the board said, "Last week the Journal Tribune endorsed the four bond issues on Maine's June 8 ballot. We recommended "Yes" votes on Questions 2-5, proposed bond issues that serve the interests of Maine's people."[24]
- See also: Polls, 2010 ballot measures
- A October 11-15, 2010 poll by Pan Atlantic SMS Group revealed that 56.3% of polled voters supported Question 3, while 34.7% were opposed and 9% were undecided. The poll surveyed a total of 501 likely voters by telephone and had a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points.[25]

Path to the ballot
To place the measure on the ballot, the measure was required to receive at least a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate.[26] On April 12, 2010 the Senate voted 30-5 and the House voted 102-44 in favor of the placing the measure on the ballot.[27]

NEW ORLEANS - Vendors at the Riverwalk are questioning security after they say a mob of teenagers, many of them on skateboards, came through the mall several times Thursday, causing damage as they went along.
"The security guards, they did what they could," said Patrick Vitello, a vendor at the Riverwalk. "They didn't have enough people here."
"I was waiting for the police," said Edwige Ndzana, another vendor. "I was so scared until we closed at 7 p.m. The police didn't come. Nothing happened."
Ndzana said she called 911 twice when the mob came through the mall, many of them passing through multiple times.
"My boss told me before I close the door to call the police."
Bassam Salem, another vendor, said he closed an hour before the mall – at 6 p.m., because he was concerned.
Vendors talked to by WWL-TV said the kids had been around the mall all day, perhaps connected to National 'Go Skateboarding Day.'
"I want to say around 150 to 200 kids outside of Spanish Plaza and it didn't seem like there was any kind of law enforcement, any kind of security," said Salem.
The Harbor Police normally cover the area, since they have overlapping jurisdiction with the NOPD.
HPD said it arrived on the scene within three minutes of the first call and ten minutes of the second call. In both cases, they said, the crowd dispersed.
"Harbor Police were supposed to show up," said Vitello. "I never saw them until 6:30, once the second event had happened and everything was already destroyed."
Riverwalk officials released a statement that said: "While we are still assessing the situation, our security force responded quickly and well, contained the youths involved, coordinated with Harbor Police, and appropriately, the youths were escorted off the premises."
Vendors say they're concerned it could be worse next time.
"I think it's more of a lack of not only security presence, but police presence around the Riverside and this side of downtown," said Salem.
Harbor Police said they requested and received help from the NOPD. In the future, they say they plan to step up patrols when staffing is available. The Riverwalk said there were no injuries, minimal damage and one theft reported.

It is 657E1!
Wel, before you edited the post, you originally had 657D1. I just wanted to make sure that was correct for 2013.
I'm having this same issue. Here is the error:
License was not obtained
Tried Maya 2013 (657E1 2013.0.0.F), error 20
License method:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD='standalone'
Product choice:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE='657e1'
License file override:
environment variable MAYA_ALT_EN is not set
I just updated my GeForce cards drivers, could that have something to do with it? Is there an update I can use for Maya?
I'm having the exact same problem, has anyone figured this out yet?
Same issue. Infact, not a single Autodesk application (Alias, Mudbox, Sketchbook...) will launch on OSX 10.8.3
Way to do guys, you're dev team is great...
I downloaded student version of Maya 2013 64-bit and getting same problem.1st time i saw the activation screen but after that getting this issue please help.
Hello Rahul,
Looking through the Discussion Forums, I was able to find a couple of relevant threads that might be a good starting point.
As Licensing is almost the same for most Autodesk products.
You can also try to add license service exe(C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared\FLEXnet Publisher\FNPLicensingService64.exe) to DEP exceptions (http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-xp/disable
Close the application, then delete the casecadeinfo.cas file located in the following directory and try running again:
Windows 7:
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\AdLM\
Another user posted that a system restore resolved their issue.
Please accept as a solution if this fully resolves the issue, or reply with additional specifics if the problem persists.
Hello Philip,
Thank you for your reply my problem is solved by deleting the folder name is FLEXnet. Located in C:\ProgramData.
I also done some things in my pc by seeing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiLwrQb3hnU video on youtube but i don't know that this video helped me or not after that i just deleted FLEXnet folder by seeing some forms.
But after all this i am happy my problem is solved.
I attached the screenshot that maya successfully running in my pc without any problem.
Thank you for your support.

CATEGORIES Animation, Comedy, Deals, Scripts, 20th Century Fox, Family Films, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Games and Game Movies, Movies, CinematicalWill a video game movie based on a game with no characters or storyline whatsoever be more successful than a Max Payne or Tomb Raider? Fox and EA are going to give it a shot and find out, as Variety reports that they are setting up Spore as a feature film. Chris Wedge is attached to direct, with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland writing the screenplay.
Spore is a colorful, family friendly game that allows you to build a variety of fanciful creatures. But perhaps most notably, it allows you to evolve them. Your creatures start out as microscopic organisms, develops into a complex animal, and becomes a social and intelligent creature. You help guide its society from a primitive stage all the way to space travel. It's a very organic game not only in its single-player conception, but because it allows you to share your creatures and your worlds with other gamers, and create a comprehensive universe at the Sporepedia. Fittingly, the Sporepedia acted as kind of historical documented, and recorded everything glorious and dubious about the player created worlds.
So, when a game is all about playing Supreme Being, how do you make a movie out of it? Wedge isn't sure yet, but he feels the property is rich in possibility. "I'm always looking for unique worlds to go to in animation. From every perspective -- visually, thematically and comedically -- the world of Spore provides the potential to put something truly original on the screen." It might just create something quite original off, if they kept a bit of evolution in its storyline. Haven't you always wanted to see a cartoon picketed by Kirk Cameron?

Three Vignettes on Ligand Stabilized NanoclustersChris Ackerson, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins
Chemical Sciences Division Seminar
10:00 AM — 11:00 AM, Chemical and Material Sciences Building (4100), Room C-201
Contact: Deen Jiang (email@example.com), 865.574.5199
AbstractMetal clusters and nanoparticles can occur in a 'magic number' series, where especially stable, or 'magic' numbers of metal atoms correspond to the total filling of geometric or electronic shells. For most metals, electronic shell closing dominates the stability of smaller clusters while geometric shell closing stabilizes larger clusters. In the present talk, we investigate the transition from electronic to geometric shell closing for thiolate protected gold clusters, and we explore the consequences of manipulating the electron count in electronically stabilized clusters, in terms of both stability and magnetism, as well as potential applications that arise from altering the electron count. Finally, we present a structural investigation into the reactivity of the ligand shell that protects these clusters from coalesence, discovering which ligands are most exchangeable and proposing a mechanism for ligand exchange. This work is important because ligand exchange reactions are commonly used to incorporate nanoparticles into more complex devices and applications.

Thread: Jared Allen
Jared Allen
I am going to say that I totally agree with a comment Marr made in a previous post and I was going to start this topic yesterday but since he stirred the coals already I thought i would throw a bit of kerosene on them.
He was brought in here to be a dominant pass rusher and we paid him the kind of money that teams pay to get a difference maker and not just a role player.IMHO that type of player finds ways to not get blocked and finds ways to change games at pivotal moments.
I absolutely believe that JA can be that type of player and in his first season many times he was. But last year too many times he looked like he was just going through the motions and collecting his pay check.I can't count how many times he was taken wide to the outside by an average OT one one one and left a big gap that the offense exploited. When he went inside he was shoved into another player and rendered useless.
To me he looked a bit heavier and a step slower than in 2009 and i am not sure if that was the case or not but I really would like to see him step up and take control of a game again the way I know he can.
Rant off.

Re: Jared Allen
He definitely wasn't impressive last year at all. Not sure if it was a lack of motivation, bad play by the rest of our DL, or he just wasn't playing well. Either way, I'd really like him to step it up, and I hope that the rest of our DL follows suit.I am NOT here to provide good football insight or rational observations. I am an emotional 19 year old Viking fan and I expect you to adjust your expectations from my posts.
Re: Jared Allen
Great idea for a rant/thread.
Couple of thoughts.......
1. Most fans are quick to throw BB under the bus for lack of production but very few, IMHO will take that same tact with JA.
2. I am going to reserve judgement on JA until we see him working for the new D-coord. He did come on last year.
Rationale, I'm not sure if he was allowed to make his own read and rush the QB or if he was being sent by the D-coord (Via the green dot MLB). Regardless of who is to blame, he sure got caught upfield rushing the QB on alot of running plays last year which severly impacted what our LB'rs and S's had to do.
I know that his production started to increase a bit last year when we saw Pagac take over. For now, I'm going to go on the assumption that he wasn't making those reads on his own.
3. Picks. If the staff is in full blown "Rebuild Mode" (which I think we aren't in) and the staff is looking for a prime candidate to get additional picks, JA seems to fit the bill. I for one wouldn't be to all fired upset if they did deal him away.
We could move Ray (or Rob) to a full time starter at RDE and plug Griff in at the LDE spot. For those that paid close attention, especially to the last 3 games, we saw alot of that going on.
Again, item 3 and all that followed is based on the staff going into rebuild mode. If they aren't, then JA stays.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Re: Jared Allen
He was practically invisible statistically in the first half of the season. I remember him getting significant pressures in a lot of games, but not racking up the sacks.
However, it's unfair to judge a guy based on only half the year.
Weeks 9-17 he was that elite pass rusher we're paying him to be. 11 sacks in 9 games is scary. Not to mention 2 forced fumbles, 4 batted passes, and an INT returned for a touchdown.
This Pioneer Press article via Pro Sports Daily from October 15th says:
"If he just had another half-second, or was just another half-step quicker, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen figures he could have a half-dozen sacks by now instead of just one.
"You could count four, five, six, maybe," Allen said after Thursday's practice. "Look at the Detroit game. I would have had two in the Miami game. That half-step, that half-second, is huge. Huge! There's always what ifs, but eventually it comes back. They seem to come in spurts."
Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier defended Allen's lack of sacks this season, saying: "He's playing well. What's happening with Jared is that he's still in a lot of situations where there are backs chipping and tight ends to his side, and what it does is help other guys and helps our pass defense. Our pass defense is really improved primarily because of the type of blocks we're getting from offenses right now.
"He's going to have a bust-out game, and hopefully it will be this weekend. He's not a disappointment by any means, whether it's our run defense or pass defense. People pay a great deal of attention to him. We just have to get the other guys who are getting one-on-ones to step up and help us in those areas."
I think he just came into the season a little rusty, probably overweight, generally just not 100% football ready. And by the season's midway point, he shook off that rust and weight and exploded.
Re: Jared Allen
I think Allen stays. A big part of getting caught rushing the passer on rushing downs was teams calling more rushing plays. Teams noticed as our rush D declined and took advantage. In years past, they were throwing the ball at us 50 times a game because that was what worked. This season, our backup CBs were actually batting down balls, so more and more rush attempts came our way.
As far as his late production, probably a lil of both. Its likely, he was more in football shape, and getting a lil better read with Pagac/Frazier calling plays without Brad's input.Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!
"Balance it on end and thats the third side of the coin!!" -wookiefoot
Re: Jared Allen
I am still of the opinion that he was blocked too easily on too many plays by OL that were not all that highly regarded. He did have a better second half of the season but Wilf pays him to play all 16 games and not just half of them.
To me what makes an exceptional DL is the ability to refuse to get blocked. There are guys like Doleman, Millard, Randal etc in our past who were of that mentality. You look at young guys like Matthews from GB and Suh from Detroit and they are examples of guys who just get to the QB and cause mayhem and JA has every bit the talent to stand right in there with them if he puts his mind to it. Obviously not every player I mentioned was a RDE but the point is still there. If you want elite money you need to make the plays that need to be made when they need to be made. Sacks in garbage time or in games where the outcome is not in question do not hold the same value.
Re: Jared AllenOriginally Posted by "Mr Anderson" #1090994
The only other thing I would add is that while with the Vikes, Allen has 40 of his 83 total sacks. While this is his 3rd lowest production year, I believe the factors listed above were primarily the reason for his lower production. I think that we will see the JA of old come August, if there is football.

Re: Jared Allen
Remember, he also got married, and chopped off the Mullet. Those things HAD to have had an effect on the first half.
Latter half, he was in full-on beast mode again.
Comparing JA to BB just isn't fair. BB has played poorly. JA started slow, then played like an animal posessed. His "Poor" season, was still an 11 sac, 2 int season.
Name the last Vikings lineman aside from KW to have that kind of production...
We get spoiled by having elite players, then when they have a down year, we say we should trade them.
Hold onto your hats, and wait and see how it goes.
If we got a great deal, I'd be open to trading him, but we shouldn't do it just for the sake of doing it.

And amazing book, full of humor and strategy games against two people, Light Yagami and L.
The Human Whose Name is Written in this Notebook shall DIE
That is the first rule of the Deathnote, a notebook carried by Shinigami and used to take human lives. To use it is both blessing and curse. You gain the assistance and potential gifts of a Shinigami but to do so keeps you from entering heaven or hell upon your death. Light Yagami claims the notebook and uses it in an attempt to create a new world free of crime. This is one of the finest manga series and every aspect of it proves it perfectly. The characters, plot, storyline and twists keep you guessing and hungry for more!

The ship though is huge and although full did not seem crowded. Obviously having been on the Queen Mary I could not notice the differences in layout, personally I liked the Eclipse better with its grand enfilade of rooms and the Atrium. The only thing that the ship lacked was a proper ballroom, since events suited to the Queens Room were scattered through out the Ship.
Being in Aqua class meant meals were taken in Blu, which is the best restaurant afloat, the service was superb and the food excellent, it was also noticed how well ALL the staff worked together. Other restaurants used included Tuscany and Bistro on 5, all of which were excellent.
Entertainment was both good and bad. Some of the special external acts were extremely poor and rude. This contrasted with the excellent "Home staff" who's performances were superb but were sometimes squeezed into the odd corners. On a number of occasions a lousy "show" was followed by an excellent "ambush" by Full tilt in comedy central.
Going to the Baltics meant booking tours and I opted for Celebrity Tours. The quality was generally ok, but if I doing it again would go off more by myself. it should be noted that only information on Celebrity tours was available on board this will be mentioned later. The only bad things were the on board shops which were under US Customs regulations for allowances and which closed after Tallin.

Wimbledon RFC's Fishwick battles the odds after serious neck injury
Updated 12:10pm Monday 10th March 2014 in Other Rugby By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Wimbledon RFC's second row Jack Fishwick is critcially ill in hospital after breaking his neck in the side's London Division One South game at Haywards Heath on Saturday.
The 26-year-old, a former student at St. Mary's University College, was injured in the opening exchanges and air-lifted to hospital.
After a 14-hour operation, Fishwick remains on a ventilator and the RFU's critical care unit is working with the club in supporting the player's family.
Wimbledon coach James Ogilvy-Bull said: "All our thoughts are with Jack and his family right now."
Fishwick works as freelance sports injury rehabilitator and masseur, specialising in musculoskeletal injury treatment, management and rehabilitation.
