Men in Green step back from GM's 230mpg Volt claim
"...unlike in your car where you'll get almost all of it"
Umm, nope. According to the US DoE you get "about 15%".
Perhaps you've forgotten how inefficient modern cars really are? A good engine only manages around 30%. That's not "almost all".
Compare that with a battery car:
Fossil fuel power stations are 36-40% efficient. Power lines are about 90% efficient. Factor in battery charging (97%) and electric motor (92%) and you get 29-32%. No brilliant either; about the same as a fossil fuel powered in fact.
Thing is, we already know we can get vast amounts of electricity from nuclear & wind. So we might as well see if we can use some of it to power our cars...
Wind resistance is taken into account using a coast down test:
It still doesn't help the published figures get anywhere near real-world driving.
Unfortunately there are many {ahem} tweaks that manufacturers can make to influence the results of the coast down test and hence get much better mpg/CO2 figures...
Please kill this cookie monster to save Europe's websites
Not just cookies
I don't like being tracked without permission. Sadly, the trackers seem to feel thay have a right to track me and have moved on from relying on normal (or 3rd party) cookies.
Have you checked your Flash cookies lately? Do YOU know what your browser's showing the world via GlobalStotage()?
It's turing into a bit of an arms race. Firefox users can regain some control with a combination of the NoScript, RequestPolicy and BetterPrivacy add-ons. But what about IE, Chrome and other browsers? There's no easy way to defend against this cr@p. Publishers certainly aren't interested in asking permission.
I'm no fan of legislation, but has anyone got a better idea?
UK's national grid 'ready' for e-car expansion
National generating capacity
Demand goes pretty low during the night (30GW min), so I can understand that overall it's possible that "no new power stations would be needed".
What I don't quite understand is the claim that it's still OK even with "uncontrolled charging". Presumably, most people will come home from work at more or less the same time, plug the car in and pop the kettle on. When is peak demand? Usually early evening.
Small (overnight) EV chargers apparently pull ~3kW. 3 million of these means up to 9GW extra peak load - right when you don't want it...
Hmmm indeed....
Even if the national grid is up to the job (it's certainly possible), the "research team emphasise that local improvements may nevertheless be necessary", according to the press release.
I'd like to see the costs for that.
That's potentially a lot of new substations, new cables to be laid, new electrical installations in each house (if you want anything faster than an overnight charge). At a modest £500/house the additional infrastructure cost comes in at well over £1billion...
Firefox users caught in crossfire of warring add-ons
@Ian McNee
Whoa, chill out man.
NoScript and AdBlock are pretty wonderful. A little criticism and/or competition isn't going to do them any harm.
My problem with NoScript is that once I've enabled scripts on a page, I don't seem to have much control over what they actually do (and what sites they connect to). RequestPolicy gives me some of that control, which is the reason it is worth a mention. It also works fine with NoScript, if that's important to you.
A solution
Uninstall both, try RequestPolicy instead.
It won't protect you against malicious scripts on a website, but it blocks ads and 3rd party scripts.
Better security and far less annoying than NoScript.
Disclosure to private eyes sometimes legal, says privacy watchdog
"The ICO said that it was a principle of the DPA that people are told when their information is gathered how or when it will be disclosed."
So, why was no action taken against BT when it handed over the private communications data of thousands of individuals to Phorm without consent?
UK.gov to spend £2bn on ISP tracking
Thanks for the replies, all.
I totally agree that there are ways around this - either for the security services or those that are being watched.
I think the main points are:
1) It'll cost a fortune - and we know who'll be footing the bill
2) It won't achieve what the government think it will achieve: an easily accessible repository that lists who talks to whom
3) The very existence of such a repository is probably illegal anyway...
What's the point?
According to ol' Jackboots, all they want to know is "who is talking to who, not what they're saying". And the solution to this is mandatory DPI in every ISP.
Apart from creating an operational and privacy nightmare for ISPs that we, The Governed, end up paying for, this appears to acheive sweet F.A.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but:
- the ISP still don't know who I'm emailing (I use Gmail over HTTPS);
- they still don't know who I talk to (Skype is P2P and encrypted).
Oh well. At least they can drive the economy out of recession through the Magic Power Of Targeted Advertising {sigh...}
Phorm director advises UK.gov broadband minister
100,000 shares??
Blimey, isn't that a cool £500k right now? And they claim there's no conflict of interest!!
I'd say Kip Meek has absolutely no place whatsoever advising anyone on Digital Britain.
Isn't there some kind of law against this behaviour, or are we just seeing a small glimpse of what they're all up to?
Sod the conspiracy theories about Jackboot Jacqui, this lot are just trying to line their own pockets. Greed, pure and simple.
Hybrid Jaguar XJ en-route?
@Frank Bough
If the Prius does it for you, then that's nice. But please don't think they're a solution for everyone.
Last time I drove one I found it painfully slow, poor handling and disappointingly thirsty (i.e. sub 50mpg). In short, I hated the damn thing.
For my usual driving (which doesn't involve sitting nose-to-tail in endless traffic jams), existing diesels do the job cheaper, quicker and with less effort.
Having said that, I rarely drive > 250 miles, so put me down for a lottery win and a Tesla! :-)
Re: They fail to explain one thing
Yes, you are right. If your electric car is charged from fossil fuels, there's no net gain (apart from a reduction in urban pollution and noise).
The reason they're pushing plug-in EVs is that they know how to generate lots of electricity from low-CO2 sources: wind, wave, nuclear, solar, etc. They don't know how to do the same for petrol or diesel. The only other low-CO2 option (biofuels) didn't work and the politicians got their hands burned, so using electricity to power cars is seen as the Next Big Thing.
Of course, there's always some exciting new technology on the horizon (synthetic fuels, cheap hydrogen, etc), but for now no one's really come up with a better idea. Heck, most cars only last a maximum of 10 years anyway so none of this is permanent...
Brown pledges to make Britain's drivers greener
Re: A big wind turbine for every 4 square km?
Your power requirement looks somewhere near. Total UK transport energy consumption in 2007 = 60 million Toe (http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/statistics/publications/ecuk/page17658.html)
1 Toe = 42GJ, so that works out at a transport total of 80GW energy from fuel.
Only just over 1% is currently electric (rail), so ignore that.
Assume fossil fuel vehicles ~30% efficient (fuel -> motion). So there's 24GW of "motion energy" needed. I have no idea what real-world efficiency of EVs is - no combustion losses, so guess at 80% (generated electricity -> motion).
So to power the UK's entire transport from electricity would need another 30GW.
Re: Electricity - the "green" energy
If you're talking about the environmental (i.e. CO2) impact of driving a fossil fuel car vs. driving an electric car then the figures come out at...{tada.wav}...guess what?
"About the same."
It's no big deal either way, given the current mix of electricity generation in this country.
The mysterious *attraction* of EVs to the policy wonks is that, once you've got people used to driving different cars, they can generate the 'leccy from nuclear, wind and CCS coal. All of which substantially reduces the CO2.
It's kinda hard to make that kind of change if we're all still running around on diesel. Biofuel was the last Great White Hope and look where that got us...

If I'm an online publisher or trader, how does scraping content from my site help me? All that will happen is that traffic will be driven away from me and towards Phorm affiliate sites.

Microsoft cries netbook victory against Linux
How much...
...is Microsoft charging for an OEM XP license on a netbook these days? Is it by any chance less than the usual £50?
Methinks that this sudden switch to XP didn't come about because "customers want it". I'm sure there was panic in Redmond when they realised that 90% of these things were shipping with Linux...
A solution? Why not use your OS monopoly to cross subsidise the XP license down to a couple of dollars? Easy!
Though of course that would be illegal so Microsoft wouldn't do that.

That is all.
North East, Nissan to explore e-car promo plan
@Gary F
Where on earth did you get your figures from?
I don't have absolute figures to hand, but just think about what you're claiming for a minute.
If I put fuel in a car & burn it, 30%(-ish) of the energy produced is turned into useful forward motion.
If I put fuel in a power station, I get around (say) 35-40% out in the form of electricity. That's only to be expected - these things run mostly at constant output, so efficiency gains are possible. If I want to power a car with this, I might lose 10% of that energy in transporting it over the wires and charging the battery. Maybe another 10% lost in the motor if it's really inefficient. So I'm back down to around the 30% mark.
Guess what? Electric vehicles usually work out *about the same* as internal combustion vehicles in terms of energy efficiency. That's hardly surprising, given that they do more or less the same thing and there's no spectacular waste of energy anywhere along the way.
While it's certainly true that a wholesale switch to EVs with the current mix of generation won't save the planet, I can't see how your figures could possibly make sense.
Supercar maker pitches 'leccy sportster with stunning spec
Flow Batteries?
Could be interesting: put new electrolyte in and - hey presto - your battery is charged!
i.e. just like putting petrol in ('cept you also drain the old "fuel" out)
When I last checked, these things had quite poor energy density, but maybe things have moved on? On the plus side, you could store the liquid (almost) anywhere in the car, which is probably easier than cramming every available space with Li-Ions...

Watchdog mauls billboard sex ads
The last thing we want is medicines being advertised. These adverts are legal in Australia and these huge "Want longer lasting sex" adverts are *everywhere*, almost to the exclusion of all other advertising. Whatever your views on the morals of this it just *feels* wrong to me somehow.
Meanwhile in Germany, it's now legal to advertise medicine on the telly. Result: during a Casualty-style drama show you get 10 mins of back-to-back drug adverts. Which makes the show pretty much unwatchable. Presumably the drug companies have money to burn when it comes to pushing their wares...
Online campaign urges MPs to block secret expenses

Thanks for alerting readers to this.
Century-old hydropower plant to run on fudge
Oh, come off it!
The typical electricity consumption for a UK household is around 3,000 - 5,500kWh per year (ranging from single person at the low end up to a family house).
This hydro plant produces 510,000kWh each year.
So yes, it's enough to "power over 100 homes [with electricity]" .
I'm all for criticism of unnecessary greenwash. But what is the problem here, exactly?
Europe's Tesla will be first with full performance
No, I'm following Ian Johnstone's suggested calculation.
- You've multiplied that the wrong way (as indicated by the ridiculous 450 MPG figure) - I calculated the power from burning fuel @30MPG, then multiplied that by 27% to get the power at the wheels.
- Yes, I *know* it's not 100% efficient through the drivetrain (it's more like 90%), but this assumption is enough to show that the "1c/mile" figure quoted by Tesla isn't that wide of the mark.
Yes, it assumes you can charge it on cheap electric.
Yes, it's a bit optimistic.
But it's not wrong, and it's not a lie.
The overall energy used by an electric car is *close* to that used by a fossil fuel car. Of course it is - there's not massive wasteage at any point so that's what you'd expect. Conventional cars and electric cars are both pretty good solutions.
Claiming that one is *magnitudes* better than the other is not going to fly. It's just not true. [That goes for the eco-weenies as well as the petrol-heads.]
Re: It doesn't add up
OK, I'll bite:
[FYI, Tesla quote "around 1c/mile", assuming off-peak electricity]
1) Off-peak electricity is arounf 2.7c/kWh in the states, so 1c buys 0.37kWh
2) 0.37 kWh = 1,332,000 J/mile
3) Let's take a petrol car:
30 MPG is 9.4l/100km
1 litre of petrol contains 10 kWh per litre
So we're using 94 kWh/100km
Or 1.5 kWh/mile
Or 5,400,000 J/mile
Conversion efficiency is around 27%, so at the wheels we need
0.27 x 5,400,000 = 1,458,000 J/mile
4) Scaling that back up to get a "MPG equivalent", that makes
Sounds perfectly reasonable for a little 2-seater car.
How on earth do you get to 160 MPG??
@Stephen Gray
"Why do we need electric cars?"
1. Big combined-cycle power generators are pretty damned efficient (50%+) because they run at more or less constant load. Even taking into account the transmission losses, it's still better that achieved by a fossil-fuelled car (<30%).
2. Can you run your car on nuclear power or solar? Thought not. Using electricity allows you to use a whole variety of raw fuels. There's not enough land available to produce enough alcohol/cooking oil to power all the cars.
That's why.
Research: Wind power pricier, emits more CO2 than thought
"is very expensive electricity as the energy used to pump the water to the upper lake is greater than is gained from the generators"
You're thinking about it from the fossil fuel point of view. Fossil fuel power costs money to make, but you can have it whenever you want it.
Wind power costs "nothing" to make, but you get it regardless of when you want it.
It makes sense to store it when you don't need it ready for when you do. The fact that some of the energy is lost during the storage/recovery process is irrelevant, because (provided you didn't need the electricity for something else) you might as well store it.
It's the same for nuclear. Nukes are happiest producing power 24/7, whether you want it or not. So when demand is low, you store it. That is why we built Dinorwig. And it's why we'll continue need to build expensive complexities into the system - whether we have nuclear or wind or both.
It's just physics, man.
Poor article
The assumption that wind power is a substitute for peak gas plants is a pretty basic error. The whole market/pricing for renewable power is completely different:
Fossil fuel = cost per megawatt-hour. Plant is relatively cheap. But you pay for the fuel
Renewable = cost per megawatt. Once you've built it, the energy is effectively "free"
At the moment, electricity is more or less the same price regardless of when you want it (Economy 7 excepted), mostly because we get most of it from fossil fuel. If we get a lot of electricity from renewables, this changes. Want power when it's windy? Heck, have all you want. Want it on a calm day? Sorry, gonna cost ya.
Over time, you'll see new & interesting uses for the "spare" power e.g. charging plug-in hybrid cars, together with intelligent appliances that modify their behaviour to minimse your electricity bill e.g. fridges.
As fossil fuel prices go up (hello, Gordon), renewables become more attractive - despite all the drawbacks. Nothing is going to get solved overnight, which is why some currently "uneconomic" technologies are being pursued anyway. This is just sensible planning - it's not rocket science!
PS @david: PV cells can last from around 10 years (early stuff) to at least 30 years (current thin-film). They don't stop working at this point, but they do produce less power (~80% of the original output). Other things to consider: there's a tiny amount of cadmium in them, so you ought to recycle them when you do finally chuck them away. Even if you don't it's a lot better than burning coal for electricity and putting the cadmium up the chimney (~10x less). Greenhouse gas emissions are around 30g/kWh (current tech), vs. 10g/kWh (nuclear), 400g/kWh (combined cycle gas), 900+ g/kWh (coal). Solar cells don't appear to be very efficient (10-20%), but this is approx 10x better than sun -> biomass -> fuel -> electricity. So, PV is a long way from perfect but probably a useful improvement on some of the ways we currently produce power.

Phorm launches data pimping fight back
TalkTalk may have a solution
As well as confirming it'll be opt-in, they seem to have realised the weakness of Phorm's cookie-based opt out:
"We had a meeting yesterday and based on customer opinion we decided to use a different method, yet to be decided, to split the traffic so it doesn't hit a WebWise server at all for those that opt out."
Excellent news - and kudos to TalkTalk for listening...
@ Lyndon Hills
If you look at the contract with your ISP, you'll find they have every right to do deep packet inspection. No problem with that.
You'll also (probably) find that they promise to keep this data private and never sell it on to a third party.
Now we see ISPs are planning to sell this data to a third party. Even if you're happy to have your data sold on, surely you see the problem here?
Alarm bells...
Full webpage data *apparently is* stored, despite the denials above.
From last night's Webwise chat with Kent:
[Archived here: http://www.badphorm.co.uk/page.php?10]
"MBurgess: Pages are not tagged (or modified), and the keyword analysis process is offline so it can't affect response times.
narcosis: If the keyword analysis process is offline then in order to scan for keywords would you not have to have a copy of webpage in order to analyze it offline ?
MBurgess: Yes, a mirrored copy is analyzed."
How long is the mirrored copy kept? How is it deleted? This isn't just headers - this is a full grab of all web traffic *before* it's profiled and categorised.
BT targets 10,000 data pimping guinea pigs

history, they are unable to recognise who you are through this
Can anybody help with a suitable rebuttal of this nonsense? It's like doublespeak. Surely anybody could be easily identified from their browsing history? What makes Phorm "unable" to the same?
Broadband big boys waiting on data pimping

and all data from our customers accounts is kept confidential and is not
shared with any other company.
Interesting, huh?
@ Mark
Yes, having read El Reg's latest analysis you're right - there's no ad "injection" going on here (other than the Phorm cookie, which *is* injected). They seem to be replacing generic OIX ads with targeted ones. So if that is true, it's apparently no worse than DoubleClick.
BUT they are definitely passing your (private) web traffic onto a third party for "processing". Even if they claim to delete this stuff straight away, this is an absolute no-no as far as the Data Protection Act is concerned, and almost certainly violates the ISPs own privacy policy (until they change it, that is...). Even so, you simply cannot pass on copies of private data to a third party for any kind of processing without consent of the individual concerned.
@Mark "There is no injecting going on here"
The Phom website implies otherwise:
"The OIX uses data from ISP pipes to upgrade the generic advertising on websites with more relevant ads. These ads will be viewed by that ISP's subscribers who are most likely to be looking for the advertised product or service based on keyword patterns in their browsing behavior. "
@ Jon
Yes, an https proxy should should do it.
According to Phorm, "[the] technology does not view any information on secure (HTTPS) pages"
More here: http://www.phorm.com/about/faq.php
@ Mark
Not quite. When you go to Tesco, the data stays with Tesco and their privacy policy (presumably) does not allow them to sell data on your shopping habits to third parties. Plus, the Data Protection Act requires them to take care of this data.
In this case, the ISPs are unilaterally allowing a third party to come in and snoop your surfing habits and sell this private data to who knows. In the contract with your ISP, I would be very surprised if you agreed to give them permission to sell/pass on your surfing habits to third parties.
That is the problem here: they are doing something with YOUR private data without your permission. They are specifically not allowed to do this by law.
Here's how it works
(I think, having read all the blurb on the Phorm site...)
1. All your browsing (URLs, content but not https) is routed via Phorm's server. Presumably due to bandwidth requirements it's physically there in the ISP datacentre (like a wiretap).
2. Phorm's server sends a unique cookie to your browser, analyses your web traffic and "categorises" that browser in real-time based on your surfing habits (actually 3x an hour, maybe). It then associates your browser ID with your assigned "category".
3. The OIX database (ad server?) then watches for that cookie ID and injects "relevant" ads into your http data stream based on your current category - either replacing existing ads or even inserting new ones (not entirely clear on this). It may also pass on your cookie ID and category to third parties to that they can do the advertising directly.
So no, forget any swanky DNS tricks or ad blocking. What the ISPs appear to be doing is allowing a trusted (hah!) third party access to all your surfing content. Phorm claim this "cannot be used to identify you because it's anonymous and we ignore phone numbers and email addresses and IP addresses". Bo||ox. Just one snapshot of a non-https gmail session is enough to identify anyone...
To me this appears to be in blatant contravention of TalkTalk's privacy policy, which states that they will not disclose personally identifiable information to thrid parties except in a very specific set of circumstances.
PS: The service does not appear to be live yet on TalkTalk (you can for yourself by going here: http://www.webwise.com/privacy/can-choose-NA.html). You might want to keep checking, and be sure to let your ISP know what you think about this.

Dueling Headlines; 'Obama says Al Qaeda is junior varsity and not like Kobe Bryant' edition
**Written by Doug Powers
In an interview with The New Yorker, President Obama made a curious comparison in an attempt to dismiss the influence of Al Qaeda:
Even if that were the case, they'd still be people trying to kill Americans while wearing Lakers uniforms!
As evidenced by the below dueling CNN headline from a couple of weeks ago, the junior varsity squad seems to be holding their own:
Last summer, Obama said "Al Qaeda has been decimated", and the previous year he said "Al Qaeda is on the run."
That according to the captain of the administration's varsity team:
It's been a busy month for Obama sports metaphors. In the same interview, the president also said that he would not allow the son that he doesn't have to play in the NFL.
Obama wouldn't let his hypothetical son play on the JV team either because that would be even more dangerous (see above).

Derren Brown: Trick of the Mind
Episode Guides
About the Show
Derren Brown demonstrates his unique powers of psychological illusion, misdirection and showmanship
Series 3 Summary
In the third series of Trick of the Mind, Derren Brown deploys his fusion of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship in startling and stylish new forms.
Episode 1
Derren is in the Valley of Fire, Nevada, where he makes the sun disappear, and then shows viewers how he did it. Psychic readings take a global twist when Derren conducts the same experiment on a group of people in Hollywood, Barcelona and London.
He also meets Matt Lucas at a Gentleman's Club in London and leaves him dumbfounded with a psychological card trick. And who is the weird clown that seems to know intimate details of complete strangers he meets in the street?
Episode 2
Derren meets Dame Kelly Holmes at a North London running track. The nation's favourite runner can certainly run, but can she hide from Derren as he attempts to get inside her head?
Derren also attempts to plant specific ideas into the mind of a sleeping student to influence his dreams, with fascinating results.
Episode 3
It's thirsty work as Derren finds himself in the company of a water diviner in the Nevada Desert. Then it's back to London to challenge passers-by to a game of noughts and crosses - blindfolded.
Also, a group of strangers, invited to come on the show, will find they have something extraordinary in common that has taken Derren and his team a year to prepare. And how much can you determine about a person from a photo?
Episode 4
Derren executes a breathtaking routine across the canals of Venice. Back on home territory, Derren summons Robbie Williams to a remote, abandoned location in the East End for a spot of trance-induced body piercing.
And can Derren get two people, speaking in totally different languages, to communicate with each other?
Episode 5
Derren travels to Vienna where he performs a perplexing effect on the iconic giant Ferris Wheel (a landmark featured in Orson Welles' The Third Man).
He also influences a cinema audience to forget the entire film they have just watched. And it's the turn of Stephen Merchant to be astounded by Derren's powers in an exhausting game of fifty-fifty chance.
Episode 6
Derren ventures into Monaco, the gambling capital of Europe, to test his card skills and perform a fantastic memory feat.
Back home he tries to make an amputee feel sensation in his missing limb. And he involves Meera Syal in an old séance routine and reveals its secret.

Navy Opens Cutting-Edge Lab for Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Today, at a ceremony with OSTP Director John P. Holdren, the Naval Research Laboratory opened the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research (LASR), a new facility located at the NRL's main site in Washington, D.C. NRL has served the Navy and the Nation for almost 90 years, and is responsible for scientific and technological breakthroughs such as GPS, deep ocean searches, radar, and systems for the identification of "friend or foe."
LASR will support cutting-edge research in robotics and autonomous systems of interest to the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Department of Defense, such as unmanned underwater vehicles, autonomous firefighting robots, and sensor networks. The LASR will also advance the goals of the President's National Robotics Initiative, a multi-agency effort to strengthen U.S. leadership in robotics and to enable human-robot teams to solve important challenges in defense, space, health, and manufacturing.
The research done at LASR will work to reduce the time and cost needed to develop autonomous systems by allowing NRL's scientists and engineers to test new technologies in realistic environments such as oceans, coasts, deserts, tropical rain forests, waterfalls, and rock walls. LASR also includes:
- A facility that contain the world's largest space for real-time motion capture, improving our ability to measure and control the motion of autonomous air and ground vehicles and monitor the movements of humans interacting with them; and
- Electrical and machine shops that will allow researchers to "print" parts directly from electronic drawings.
LASR capitalizes on the broad multidisciplinary character of NRL, bringing together scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds to tackle common challenges in autonomy research. Its objectivesareto enable continued Navy and Department of Defense scientific leadership in autonomy and to identify opportunities for advances in future defense technology.While the LASR facility was created to support NRL research, outside collaborators on funded projects will be able to work with NRL scientists in the facility.

New Market's Mickens hospitalized after beaning
By Jeremy Stafford -- email@example.com
NEW MARKET -- It came without warning.
A fastball to the head of New Market outfielder Kenny Mickens only two pitches into the Rebels' game at Woodstock on Monday night.
Mickens collapsed in the batter's box and lay still for about five minutes, according to Rebels president Bruce Alger.
New Market athletic trainer Abigail Hansberger tended to Mickens and concluded that, based on a series of tests she had given Mickens, there wasn't any serious damage.
The outfielder took his place at first base and was immediately struck by another dose of searing pain, though there was plenty of warning this time.
"He had a headache and they just took him out of the game," said Alger, who arrived to the field at Central High School around 8:15 p.m. "I went to inquire about him and found out that his headache was still pretty strong, it hadn't eased up, and so I asked [Hansberger] to ... immediately take him to Shenandoah Memorial for a CAT scan."
The CAT scan showed that Mickens had a small blood spot, which meant the blow to the head had caused some minor bleeding. Mickens was then transported to the Intensive Care Unit at Winchester Medical Center, where a neurologist could monitor Mickens over night in case something went wrong.
Alger said that Rebels coach Lucas Jones was the only visitor permitted into Mickens' room Monday night, and that Mickens was "talking and in great spirits."
"He still has somewhat of a headache, but feels great other than that," Alger said.
A second CAT scan, taken at 12:20 p.m. on Tuesday, showed that "significant progress had been made."
Alger said that Mickens spent Tuesday evening waiting to be moved to a private room where he would stay over night, and that he should be released sometime this morning pending further complications.
Alger, who is a host parent for Mickens and admits the Rebel often calls him "Pops", spoke to Mickens' father Tuesday afternoon.
"His dad is very confident that his son is in good hands, that we've made the right decisions to this point," Alger explained.
As of yet, there is no word as to whether Mickens will be healthy enough to join the Rebels for the playoffs, which begin Sunday. With a 21-18 record, New Market has a slim hold over Woodstock for second place in the Central Division. The top two teams in each division get automatic bids into the postseason.
"If the doctor says there's a possibility that he can [play], and releases him 100 percent, then head coach Jones, myself, [Mickens'] mom and dad, and Kenny will make the decision at that time," Alger said. "If the doctor says there's no way, then the decision will be made for us."
Mickens plays college ball at Los Angeles City College, and is third in the Valley League with a .357 batting average. He represented the Rebels in the Valley Baseball League All-Star game on July 12, starting in left field for the South All-Stars.
Unfortunately for Alger, though, Mickens' injury isn't even the latest in the string of injuries which have recently plagued the Rebels.
In the late innings of a makeup game against Luray on Tuesday, Rebels catcher Will Cooper broke his arm while landing awkwardly after tagging out Wrangler outfielder Pablo Bermudez in a rundown between third and home plate.
Cooper was the last available catcher on the Rebels' roster, and Alger isn't sure if he will be allowed to sign another catcher so late in the season, even in this desperate situation.
"That's the Valley League," Alger explained. "It's like a rollercoaster, it just hasn't slowed down for us injury-wise."

I LOVE this bronzer!!..it was suggested by my aunt for me to try it..and i immediately fell in love with it. I am not much of a bronzer girl but this one is the only exeption!! I really recommend it to anyone and everyone!! BUY BUY BUY!!
LOVE this bronzer! It's cheap, not shimmery, and does the trick! Packaging is meh, the cover tends to break/crack after having it for a while. But for the price it does not bother me! This will be my second one that I hit pan on! And both times I bought it, it was on sale for dirt cheap!!
Next time it goes on sale, I am buying more than one!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. It is a fairly cheap actually matte drugstore bronzer, but it can be a little orangy and it's not very pigmented.
So I might buy it again, because it does go on very nicely with a wet brush but that's not always convenient. It's worth a try, but not the best drugstore bronzer out there.
The pigmentation in this bronzer is amazing. It's a bit red toned. There is a bit of shimmer, but it doesnt bother me. I like to use this for an all-over bronzy look, not for contouring. It can pull off orange, so be careful! I do wish that the packaging was more like the NYC sunny bronzer that is like a compact.
I actually enjoyed this product for the price. The color comes off as glowy and natural, not glittery or like a disco ball, like most bronzers I've come across. The packaging is poor, the lid's already cracked and delicate. If it had better packaging, definitely 5 stars!
Great product, gives me a great natural glow, it's matte and I love it! it doesn't look shiny on me, it looks natural because it's a matte bronzer !
love love love it!!
This stuff is great! I also bought the Guerlain Bronzing powder in 00, but that's $50 and it's going back! This bronzer is nearly the same color, and is a fraction of the cost. The lid isn't the best, for this price, who cares? Works great for contouring (I'm nw15) and I'm very happy with this purchase.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Even though this is a drug store product and a lot cheaper than a lot of other bronzers on the market, it has to be one of my favourites so far! It's perfect for contouring and a matte glow. It's nicely pigmented and very buildable. One of the best bronzers I own, and the cheapest too!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yay, I've finally found my perfect bronzer! Not too dark, not too light, not at all muddy on my skin - its just right. Love the price, love how it blends and you can't really over apply this in my opinion. It always applies perfectly and never looks over done. The packaging is a little cheap and sometimes my lid doesn't screw on properly but it's not an issue for me. Would repurchase over and over again.
At the beginning of last year, I was in my trial phase, where I would experiment different bronzers and colours to match with my skin tone. I would say this made me stop looking for the whole year on. I'm a warm skin tone, golden beige tan, and bought number 022 sun bronze. The colour itself looked amazing on me, and I had many compliments on it. The downside of it though, I would say was that I had to really build up the colour to have a decent amount of it on my face. I love, love, LOVE the smell, it reminds me of the makeup I had when I was a kid. Sort of like a light powdery scent, it's hard to describe. I wouldn't buy it again, though, not only because after a year I still have plenty left, but because I've upgraded to higher quality, sorry Rimmel. I recommend it for people who don't want to spend much, or if you're just experimenting. :)

I am a travel writer who has selected my favorite flats in a few cities around the world. Renting a flat, as opposed to a hotel room, is my favorite way to feel like I am part of a place when I am visiting. This flat - Cihangir Two - is one of my favorites. It is spacious, and located in a lovely neighborhood and has knock your socks off views!
We have just renovated it, opening up the kitchen to views and repainting, refinishing the floors and more.

About Robin Sparks
I am a travel writer who has lived in and traveled to over 2 dozen countries. I always stay in flats and have chosen some of my favorite places on the planet in which to provide apartments to rent to other global travelers. It's the only way to travel as it takes you out of the tourist observer mode and puts you squarely into the the 'real' spirit of Place. All my flats have:
1. location just outside the tourist zone so that you might get to 'live' in the area however briefly as opposed to being hounded like a tourist. Close enough to the sites and public transportation to get to the 'tourist zone' easily,
2. beautiful views that leave no doubt where you are,
3. A minimum of 2 bedrooms in each flat
Robin Sparks purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Robin Sparks chose Beyoglu
Istanbul is my favorite city in the world and Cihangir is my favorite neighborhood.
Istanbul is colorful, vibrant, layered with history and filled with the melodious sound of Middle Eastern music and dance, and the call to prayer. It has some of the world's most delicious food, and best of all is the Turks themselves - the most hospitable people on the planet. If you stay in a hotel in this city, you might not ever learn this fact, which is why I rent this flat in the charming, central neighborhood of Cihangir. Once you've 'lived' in Istanbul, however briefly, you will love Turks! The neighborhood of Cihangir was recently voted best place to live by the Guardian. (UK) And these two flats are together, allowing large groups to stay together.
What makes this apartment unique
Two flats together for large families and groups. Rent separately or together. I love the light that streams into these flats each morning and the views from the salons, dining rooms, and private balconies are amazing. Like being in a resort on a bay - but then you turn to the right and see the mosque studded skyline of Sultanahmet and you remember that you are in Istanbul - the most magical city in the world. This neighborhood is the perfect combination of foreign and locals and is loaded with fabulous restaurants and is close to public transportation and access to the Bosphorus. It is the perfect area to escape the over-stimulation of Sultanahmet and relax in the artists and intellectuals favorite neighborhood, while close enough to be at the major sites within minutes when you want to be. Or simply sit back, pour a glass of wine and enjoy the ships passing by on the Bosphorus and a view of the Old City of Sultanahmet from your balcony. You may never want to leave!
Guestbook comments from the owner
(This review is for our new Cihangir Three flat located on the floor above the flat advertised here. They are the same layout and have similar decor. I am putting the review here until we get photos for this new flat up on this site.)
Our stay in Istanbul and the new Cihangir 3 flat, located above this flat, was a wonderful experience, clean, modern with everything we needed. From the time we arrived at the airport with your assistance in arranging the transportation to the warm welcome from Elis at the flat then arranging our departure transportation it was stress free for us and definetly the what I would recommend to anyone traveling there, Elis was always available to help us if we needed anything.
We really enjoyed the beautiful views and location of the flat (even with all the hills), it was easy access, centralized and in a seemingly safe area. We walked just about everywhere......Taksim area, Galata Tower area, Sultanahmet area (Mosque's & Castle) even over to the Kabatas port to take a ferry to Princess Island.
The flat was large with plenty of room for the 3 of us plus maybe a couple of more if you needed. The only thing that I may add as a suggestion is to supply a tea kettle to serve more than 1 cup.
To all visitors, make sure you have the most comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking. Taxi cabs and train are available however with the close proximity of all the areas to see and with the traffic the best choice was to walk.
Thank you and your staff for your warm hospitality.

Im kind of reluctant to accept the Fireball and Meteor buffs. Seriously, was it really needed? Fire eles are already dominating in PvE, but do we really want them in to be just as effective in PvP too? Now, fire eles will be just as good as Air eles, but they have AoE too. Seriously...logic please?
Chain lightning nerf was needed. Killing 3 people with a 5 eles in ONE cast is just too much.

Don't agree with second part.Exhaustion is enough of a penalty for CL.When was the last time you saw 5 ele team win in Tombs.It was months ago when I last saw it.Also probably there are others classes that can kill 3 people with single cast if coordinated.5 Feast of Corruption necros can maybe kill 5 people in one cast.
Edit:Tralus,exactly my thoughts.

I have to say I like the finesse that a.net have employed with this nerf *um, I mean, patch*.
We had three types of teams dominating in Tombs:
1. air spikers
2. smite bombs
3. spirit spammers
Each one of them has had a tweak: chain lightning is more focussed, zealot's fire triggers have been slowed down, and spirits can be called but not spammed.
All it means is we have to start THINKING again about what to put in our team. I've run with air spike teams. Do you call it skill to stand in a line, hit T, and then cast chain lightning? How about spamming spirits? What skill is there in choking the map and owning ppl's fps?
Hopefully we are back to the situation where a team will need to figure out the 64 SKILLS they'll take along, instead of the 8 template characters that has become everyone's favourite...
Gosh, nerfing farming pissed me off WAY more than this nerf :D

And, just FYI, my PvE ele hasn't used fire ever again, after he got to Fisherman's Haven.
The reason that fire is "Overpowered" in PvE, is because stupid monster AI doesn't move out of the firestorms.
I can't think of any decent ways to "Balance" the elements for PvE without completely gimping PvP balance.
The reason there "Are no earth or water buffs", is:
A: That "List" is a very limited list of patch changes.
B: Earth is quite bloody fine as it is. It's defensive properties (And by that I mean, ones that affect the ENTIRE team) are amazing, and the offensive spells are good.
C: Water will most certainly receive an indirect buff through the nerfs to QZ, NR, and Air. And, as said in A, there may be direct buffs.
Deep Freeze has a huge area of effect.

So there's more avoidable damage spells (2 dodgables, 4 "touch") and 4 insta-hits.
As for the Dodgability of fire, there are ones that are undodgable. Immolate, Incendiary Bonds, (I still think Meteor isn't exactly dodgable), Mind Burn, Phoenix (half the damage isn't dodgable, or I've never seen it dodged), Rodgart's Invocation. Let's see, even if you don't include meteor and Phoenix, Fire has 4 undodgable damage skills? How many did Lightning have again? 4 (5 if you could use 2 elites)? No way! There are plenty of dodgable fire skills (Flare, Fireball, Meteor (or so you say)), and plenty of AoE spells. So it seems you've lost a major argument point on that "undodgable" thing you were talking about. Fire seems to have about as many. Just because you don't use them, doesn't mean they don't exist!

I mean, seriously, there's lots of ways to prevent a lot of damage, or even reduce it. Ward Against Elements can even effect an entire team.

As it is, the only air spells I really used was Lightning Strike (whose 5 second recycle was always unfair to Fire Magic's Flare), Lightning Orb, and Chain Lightning. My other spells were defensive, or energy management. Lightning Strike can do more damage because of Armor Penetration, but I certainly don't think a full five second cast time was justified.
Anyways, yes, I'm switching to fire, but I've always considered it. It's not one thing or another exactly, but more it seems to balance has shifted to fire. With Arena Net shoving fire in our face in the beginning of the game, and making it hard and long to switch into any other line, it seems that they must really want people to use it more. These changes only reinforce what I thought. They nerfed one of the only three lightning spells I always used, and improved the fire ones I used to use when I was a Fire Elementalist. Personally, that's all the real reason I need to switch. But if that wasn't enough, fire also has a lot of good Area of Effect spells that could help to do a lot of damage.
Note I'm not trying to flame you either, Incognito2me, but simply repaying the favor: showing you your flaws in argument. It seems to me that fire was always the most "developed" line in the game. It had one person damage, unavoidable damage, AoE damage, hex damage... I mean, if it had some kinds of speed boost, and protection, it would have everything! Although Air has armor penetration, besides two spells (Lightning Orb, and the elite exhaustion Lightning Surge), fire does more damage. In some cases, I'd assume enough to compensate for the Armor Penetration. So now that they made fire spells better, and one of the few air spells I use worse, there's no real point in my Air Elementalist anymore. In fact, I went and got a Superior Fire Rune, before prices increase (for they very well may).

Earth Magic also seems to be a line that Arena Net put a lot of thought and power into... I mean, they can do a lot of damage, knockdown, AoE, and have protection skills. Meanwhile, it seems Air and Water magic really got the shaft. Although Water is good for specific purposes (slowdown), and has good protection spells. But it doesn't have the damage that all the other three lines have. Air magic used to have a lot of damage going for them, but it seems that it won't for long. I've always thought that Chain Lightning's bouncing from target to target (to target) was a bit too strong, especially since it did a lot of initial damage. But this is hardly the way it should have been changed.

"you were going to fight a GOD?!"
and the rest of the avengers just have to sit there listening to Bucky shouting at Steve, for like an hour.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our hats off to Tammy W. She is the greatest; from #1 teacher, to the greatest Special Olympics Organizer, Coach in Butte School District. My son will have her as a teacher next year, and is very excited, and can't wait to be there. She has made a difference in so many lives, we can't count. From learning new things to teaching the children we are all on one team, and helping children overcome fears of swimming to just doing our best at what we do, and we are all winners.
This Is my first year in east and it is awesome the best teachers are on team E!!!no joke every teacher i have is awesome especially Mrs.Rossburg!!!
East Middle School is a fun and great place to learn. I have enjoyed every minute at this school you have the opportunity to go to advanced classes and the books are not falling apart says the man that knows everything in almost all of my classes we got new books so maybe you shouldn't trash a school when you know absolutely nothing about it!
This school has very unsatisfactory qualities AND wonderful qualities (no in-betweens). The negative things are that it is extremely filthy, unsafe, and there is absolutely no respect toward other students. Despite these factors, however, most of the teachers are excellent. My favorite teacher was Kathy Foley for 7th grade science. She had an incredible imagination and made learning interesting. I would say the shame was on the principal who was there while I was attending (he retired this year).
I belive this school, compared to others in Montana has alot of problemes. The text book are old, and falling apart. The classes are crowded. Each class can have upwards of 20-25 students, with only one teacher to help them all. This fact poses another issue, the kids are not getting the help they need or deserve. I belive that the teachers are spread way to thin.I have been attending Butte schools for the past three years. Two of those years were spent at East Middle School, I am in the 8TH grade. Where I lived before the school ranked one of the highst in the state, they had new material, everything was up to date. Now I wonder sometimes why my family and I left that tpwn, and school for a school like this.

Auditing and Financial Management:
Lost DOE Sales to the Secondary Enriched Uranium Market Have Resulted in Reduced Revenues
RCED-84-76: Published: Jan 26, 1984. Publicly Released: Jan 26, 1984.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO determined the effect that the secondary enriched uranium market has on the Department of Energy (DOE) enrichment program sales and revenues for fiscal years (FY's) 1984 through 1988.
GAO found that DOE has lost sales to secondary market transactions which amount to $9.4 million of separative work units of enriched uranium. This represents an estimated revenue reduction of more than $1.3 billion, or about 9 percent of the estimated $14 billion DOE revenue for the period. DOE officials noted that, if current price discounts continue to be offered on the secondary market through FY 1988, DOE sales losses for the period could increase and revenues could be reduced by more than $4 billion, or nearly a third of the estimated DOE revenue. Further, they believe that there is potential for more sales losses if additional price discounts are offered by those utilities holding surplus inventories.

Flop Life: What if we all acted like World Cup stars?
(Image: Action)
Hey, we all know football is "the beautiful game," but that doesn't mean the sport is without its faults. Diving, unfortunately, is and will always be part of the game, and this World Cup has once again made that abundantly clear. (We're looking at you, Arjen Robben.)
Going down like a sack of potatoes, flailing in the air and writhing on the ground in agony, all over the slightest of touches to one's arm or foot - what if we all did that in real life?
That hypothetical is answered by Fourgrounds Film, a Canadian video production company, and underscores the absurdity of some footballers' embarrassing actions on the field. The result, of course, is hilarious! Just watch:

text: Trying to cover his tracks, Ptolemy IX put Alexander's body in a glass sarcophagus instead. It did not work, though. Citizens of Alexandria were furious and could not forget Ptolemy's unforgivable deed. They started riots. In the end, greedy Ptolemy IX was killed, which served him right.But, wait, there is even more. While doing my research for web analytics company, I found something else. It seems that Alexander's body was kept on display till late antiquity. There was one nasty looter related to this story. It was no one else but Roman emperor Caligula who robbed Alexander's tomb, stole his armored breastplate and wore it in Rome. Well, as we know, Caligula also ended badly.It was around two hundred of our era when finally emperor Septimius Severus closed Alexander's tomb to the public. His son, emperor Caracalla was a big fan of Alexander the Great and often visited his tomb during his rule. After that, history loses track of Alexander's tomb. The details are pretty vague and unverified.

9 Ways Kids Can Digitally Connect With Santa
In the digital age, Santa Claus is more connected than ever. We imagine the jolly man's North Pole abode is outfitted with holographic displays, touchscreen walls and Bluetooth-connected wireless speakers that play Christmas music everywhere he goes. On his person, we assume Santa carries at least a smartphone, tablet, language translation device and GPS navigation system (in case Rudolph needs a break).

Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Enjoying a day at the beach Director/house parents Orsy & Banesa Cruz Our private schoolSOME MINISTRIES YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
It is my privilege to sit on the board of some awesome mission organizations. Along with being on our board here at Don Shire Ministries, I also am currently president of the board of Sandy Bay Lighthouse Ministries serving on the island of Roatan, Honduras (WWW.SBLMROATAN.ORG) and a member of the executive board of Mission Padamo Aviation Support (MPAS WWW.MPAVIATION.ORG). Many of you have traveled with me to Roatan and Venezuela on mission trips. If you would like to know more about these organizations please go to their web sites and check them out.
I recently was in Roatan for our annual SBLM board meeting. It is exciting to see how the Lord continues to provide for our 17 children. One major step of faith was to promote Orsy and Banesa Cruz to full-time status after 6 years of serving part time. With 17 children and all the responsibilities involved, we believe this decision could not wait any longer. We are trusting the Lord to provide the needed funding. It will be so exciting to see His provision! If you would like to take part in this, 100% of donations sent to Don Shire Ministries designated for Roatan will be sent to that ministry; or, if you wish you can go to their web site and donate directly.
In the next few months I will also be traveling to Haiti, India, and Ghana, West Africa. Please continue to keep us in prayer as the schedule is full. May it be not just full, but effective! Also pray for our missionaries, Colton Draeger (Zambia) and Austin & Hannah Betz (Haiti) as they serve. Thank you so much for supporting our ministry! You help to make each month a new and amazing miracle!

Sorry to see that you have had so many problems with the Onza. I bought one a bit ago and I love it and would never give it back. I guess I am one of the lucky ones as I have had no string issues what so ever. I had a noise issue but a STS and some bowjax solved that for me. It is dead on when I am and is now very quiet.
Attachment 4923
Final bow in the woods
Attachment 4924
new cable guide and string decelerator
Looks good. Hows it shoot? :)
I absolutely love it. It has a very smooth draw and is pretty dang quiet. with a 30.5 inch draw with 70lb pull I am able to very confidently shoot out to 70 yards on the range, but I set up my blinds where my farthest shot is 45 yards. It's an amazing bow and it fits me like a glove. I was able to set up the bow up with little to no work. I got my first buck with a bow this year on Oct. 2nd. An 8 pointer with a 14.5 inch inside spread. Its not like a buck you would see on tv, but its a pretty respectable buck for the area! Love the bow, it is a great product!
Good to hear that you love it. Its a nice bow
They are awesome bows. I just traded my Firecat 360 in at the local bow shop and picked up a black one. I never had problems with my Firecat 400 with the trg/sos,but I bought a Martin cable rod,an alpine archery mach 5 slide and a bow rattler. Is it just me or the $20.00 cable slide,because my 60 pounder feels like 45 now when I draw back? I've already bought the same equipment for the new onza. The trg/sos is off,but I can't wait to let it rip! Congratulations on the onza,and welcome to the forum. These people are great. I just recently joined too,and they have a huge wealth of knowledge and will help no matter what. Enjoy!

The "Battle of the Cellar Dwellers" kicked-off last night at Citi Field in a light mist, but that didn't prevent the Houston Astros from blowing the New York Mets out of the water. The Astros did not connect for a single home-run despite their 6 total runs–instead relying on a little small ball, and some key Mets miscues in the field (including errors by Justin Turner and Scott Hairston).
- Starter Jon Niese had an interesting line: pitching 6 innings, while giving up 7 hits, 2 earned-runs, an uncharacteristic 5 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Niese is still win-less on the season.
- Pedro Beato's scoreless streak is now at 10 innings.
- Tim Byrdak came in the ballgame to pitch to left-handed hitter Michael Bourn, and surrendered a single (which turned into a run after Bobby Parnell replaced him, and promptly balked and let-up a RBI-single to Angel Sanchez).
- Taylor Buchholtz's scoreless inning of work lowered his season ERA to 2.00.
- Carlos Beltran hit his third home-run on the season.
- Justin Turner made his 2011 debut after replacing Brad Emaus on the active roster. Turner went 1-4, and made one of two Mets errors.
