C & G Drives are hidden
Hello everyone,
Both C & G Drives are hidden when I navigate to computer on Windows 7.
Remember - this is a case of hidden. Not missing or corrupted. I right clicked computer -> manage -> storage -> disk management and they are both there. I was able to open both up fine. So, the question is how do I get them showing again in the normal computer window? I have restarted the computer and to be honest, I have no clue what else I can do. There is, however, two "Devices with Removable Storage" remaining under computer. These are: DVD RW Drive & BD-ROM Drive.
I have scanned the computer with Norton360, Malwarebytes and TDSSKiller with nothing coming up. So I'm going to assume its most likely not a virus, either. Does anyone else have any ideas? I start an external course really soon, so it is important to have this fixed asap. Preferably without having to do a complete reinstall.

Kim Alix won't be able to take her young students with her to an upcoming NASA space launch.
But she'll take along their childlike enthusiasm and wonder.
The Providence Day Lower School science teacher recently responded to a tweet on NASA social media and was amazed to be notified she's one of just 50 people selected to view the LADEE launch Sept. 6 at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.
The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer robotic mission, set to launch at 11:27 p.m., will attempt to "answer prevailing questions about the moon," NASA says.
"I am pumped," said Alix, who teaches students ranging from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade. The first Virginia coast launch to the moon is "my first NASA launch ever. I've only seen them on television."
A lifelong follower of space exploration, Alix said she follows the International Space Station, NASA Social, even different astronauts who post pictures and other information to the people who follow them.
Her passion reaped an unexpected dividend in July.
"I saw this tweet asking if you wanted to be a part of a rocket launch. That was this LADEE launch," she said. "I thought, 'Wow, that sounds cool, I'm going to send them my info.' Then I got an email saying that they had received my info but there were no spots, that they would wait-list me.
"Then about 10 days later I got another email saying I was, in fact, invited to the launch. When I saw the invitation, I was just, like, totally blown away. It was tremendously shocking that I was going to attend an actual rocket launch, to see a spaceship leave our planet and that I would be there, up close and personal, watching it."
Quick to share the news with her students once school started, Alix invited them to ask questions about the launch and see if she could get them answered.
She was impressed by what they were most curious about: "things like how they decide the angle of the launch, why they're starting at 11:27 instead of 11:30, things like that."
"Providence Day School is covering my expenses to the launch," she said. "Without that generous gift, I wouldn't be able to attend at all."
Alix said she doesn't know exactly where on Wallops Island the launch will take place, but she will be advised of the itinerary soon.
"Even NASA employees are not allowed to experience this," she said.
Those who will experience the Sept. 6 launch all share a love of space. Though she didn't want to name names, Alix said they represent diverse walks of life: a music agent, astronomer, retired Navy chief, kindergarten teacher, Air Force pilot, bartender.
Her tweeting habit may take a vacation on the big day.
"People at NASA Social said that if this is your first launch, what you really should do is experience the launch and not worry about videoing it or tweeting it. They're going to have their own videographers and media people there."
NASA is "more than just sending rockets into outer space," Alix said.
"I'm not sure everybody really realizes how much they actually contribute with spin-off technology, how a lot of their research helps the medical community."
Alix hopes her excited curiosity rubs off on her students, but she says that's a two-way street.
"I teach the young kids," she said. "They keep me effervescent."

Current Tape Reviews
Artist Name:
Brandon Walker
Hey Dara
Date Posted:
March 2010
Rock and Pop
Dell PC with Roland PCR-300 keyboard controller and M-Audio MobilePre USB interface running Propellerhead Reason 4 and Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition, M-Audio Nova condenser mic, electric guitar (Not sure which one!) through a Line 6 POD, Yamaha HS80M monitors.
Hey Dara is a male vocal power pop tune. Brandon wrote , recorded and mixed the track. The guitars were performed by Brandons friend Brad (no last name given) from Maryland and sent as download files.
It is often said that the best avenues to great recordings start out with a great song, and Brandons is no exception. The tongue-in-cheek lyrics combined with the classic Knack/Cheap Trick music bed nails the genre, and for the most part the recording follows suit. Brandon tells us that he wrote the song with the intention of pitching it via publishing to other artists, and in this case he has provided well more than a working demo for potential interested parties.
We love the slashing gritty guitars and the period-correct keyboards. Equally impressive are the programmed drums and bass. We also found Brandons use of the stereo field to be quite effective. Judicious panning has ensured that any possible frequency clashes between the guitars and keys are avoided.
So what about those minor quibbles? Well we found the vocals to be a tad too on top of the mix through our monitors, and there were some audible popping Ps on the lead vocal as well.
Suggestions: A pop filter is one of the most inexpensive yet overlooked tools in the recordists arsenal.We suggest that Brandon purchase or construct one and make it a part of his regular mic set-up in the future. Until that time we suggest that he position his mic 2030 percent off axis during his performances, or try an omni pattern on his mic. Both of these should tame those P-pops effectively.
Regarding the already-tracked vocal here, applying a highpass filter and sweeping it from about 50 to 150 Hz to find the pops should help to correct the problem. As for the overall balance, dropping the volume on both the lead and backing vocals should help them sit better in the overall mix.
Summary: Cleveland rocks!

Sarah Palin Takes to the Silver Screen
TheStreet) -- In keeping with the imagery of John Wayne as a patriotic icon, unnanounced presidential candidate
The sympathetic documentary casts Palin as brave, self-made and a warrior. It reveals her bold negotiations with oil and pipeline companies, her meteoric rise to the highest office in Alaska and her ability to tackle experienced politicians and business people.
The Undefeated Teaser Trailer from Dain Valverde on Vimeo."It wasn't something that daddy gave her; it wasn't something that the machine prepared the way for," an interviewee said in a teaser trailer. "She represented a threat to so many establishments," said another. AMC theaters expected to run the feature-length documentary in over 10 major markets, but New York and Los Angeles notably were absent from the list. Palin's Web site, SarahPAC.com, offered an early-release DVD of the movie to people who donated $100 or more to her political action committee. Palin remains on the sidelines as a slew of Republicans continued to campaign for the party's presidential nomination, but many people still anticipate the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee to enter the race. Palin lambasted President Obama in a note on July 9, a day after a jobs report revealed dismal numbers: "Hard-working taxpayers have been big government's Sugar Daddy for far too long, and now we're out of sugar." Stephen K. Bannon directed 2011's The Undefeated, which Palin did not appear in, beyond file footage. But Palin

It is quite well known by now that there is two-party dominance in the United States because of the first-past-the-post (FPTP) — or plurality — electoral system. Third parties can have an unintended "spoiler effect" on contests by stealing votes from the ideologically similar — but more viable — candidate.
For instance, in Virginia's 2013 gubernatorial election, Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis siphoned nearly 150,000 votes from Republican Ken Cuccinelli's total, which was enough to give Democrat Terry McAuliffe a 55,000 vote edge, and the governor's seat.
What is less acknowledged, however, is the way professional journalism reinforces this partisanship, discourages political independence, and precludes independent thought.
First, a microhistory:
"Professional journalism reinforces partisanship, discourages political independence, and precludes independent thought."Andrew Gripp, IVN contributor
At the turn of the century, paralleling the rise of major industrial operations during the Gilded Age, several major outfits achieved national distribution, including Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.
These new media giants did not want to alienate potential customers, so they went about professionalizing their craft by affirming its antipathy toward biased reporting. In 1922, the American Society of Newspaper Editors was founded, and it quickly codified its arch principles of independence, impartiality, and truth and accuracy under its statement of principles, originally called its "Canons of Journalism."
The detached observance of the professional journalist replaced the crusading zeal of the investigative muckraker.
This "facts-only" approach, however, gradually devolved into a species of "he-said-she said" stenography. Since professional journalists refrain from injecting their own opinions into their work, they instead aim to capture "both sides" of a story.
According to media historian Robert McChesney, when it comes to political reporting, "professional journalism has a strong inclination to simply publicize the positions of the leadership of the two parties."
This trade's embrace of "balance," of portraying the Democrat and Republican side of the issue, set the stage for a professional journalism that reinforces partisanship. In recent years, this kind of reporting has become the new normal.
With Americans getting their news predominantly from online sources rather than staining their fingertips with printed papers, many media outfits have seen their revenue plummet, and some publications have gone extinct all together. Those that have survived have downsized their staff to cut costs, sometimes axing multiple reporters.Because they lack the time and resources that are required for hard-nosed investigative work, including building close relationships at the statehouse or digging through archives, many news networks have become increasingly reliant on simpler, more affordable means of acquiring their raw material.
As McChesney puts it, the streamlined method is to "just plant reporters near people in power and have them report."
Studies have confirmed that reporters do depend overwhelmingly on official statements to guide their stories. A 2008 survey of the media in Baltimore found that 86 percent of stories were initiated by the words and deeds of "higher authorities," such as press releases, public relations statements, and the like rather than at the journalist's own initiative.
As a result, the public often learns about what embedded members of the two-party political class think at the expense of fresh, outside, independent perspectives.
To see this kind of professional journalism in action, here are two excerpts of a story posted on Friday, May 30, on the "front page" of the Washington Post's website. The article is titled "GOP candidates show signs of retreat on full Obamacare repeal as midterms approach."
Democrats such as Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the latest shifts show that the GOP's plan to repeatedly attack the Affordable Care Act has "backfired."
"Now they're promising fixes but won't be specific," Israel said in a statement. "That's like a car dealer offering you a trade-in without telling you the car you're getting in return."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said deliberations will continue and a vote on a GOP plan remains a priority. Many GOP lawmakers are unsure whether the party should unveil their plans now or wait for a possible Senate takeover.
House Republicans had initially planned to test different health-care messages during the spring recess.
The wave of the election is already within sight, and I believe we are going to do well," said House Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam (R-Ill.). "I don't think we need a replacement bill to win the election, but it is something that would be helpful in guiding our governing agenda for next year."
A significant number of GOP Senate and House aspirants still back the idea of fully repealing the Affordable Care Act, including Senate candidates Tom Cotton (Ark.), Terri Lynn Land (Mich.), and Thom Tillis (N.C.).
As a result, only a handful of ads on behalf of Democratic congressional candidates attack Republicans for wanting to abolish the law. Minnesota Democrat Mike Obermueller has a commercial showing the dance party that would break out among insurers if his opponent, GOP Rep. John Kline, were able to reverse it. The pro-Democratic House Majority PAC has aired an ad targeting the GOP challenger to Rep. Nick Jo Rahall (D-W.Va.), warning that the law's repeal would undermine benefits for residents who suffer from black lung disease
Most Democratic Senate incumbents have been more cautious, although they all say they stand by the law they voted for 4 1 / 2 years ago. Only Sen. Brian Schatz (Hawaii) has run an ad touting his support for it, and Grimes made a point of saying last week, ""If I had been in the Senate, it would have been a different law."
Jahan Wilcox, spokesman for the Republican National Committee, wrote in an e-mail to reporters that Democrats will soon discover that the law remains a serious political liability. He pointed specifically to Sens. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), along with Senate candidate Michelle Nunn of Georgia.
At a deeper, structural level, this mode of reporting (one of its co-authors, Robert Costa, is a Beltway reporter who has a knack for such stenography) has two interrelated consequences.
First, the focus in this excerpt is almost entirely on image over substance; the reporters mention the GOP's health care place in passing, for instance, but they are content not to dig deeper and uncover at least an outline of its contents.
"The public often learns about what embedded members of the two-party political class think at the expense of fresh, outside, independent perspectives."Andrew Gripp, IVN Contributor
Here, the two parties are concerned with posturing, gamesmanship, and political competition rather than the real-world application of the Affordable Care Act and how we can better understand its effects on consumers, insurers, and health care providers so that we can reform the law and maximize the access, affordability, and quality of health care in America.
Second, and relatedly, what stands out here is the passive echoing — directly or indirectly — of statements made by partisan officeholders and consultants. By simply regurgitating the opinions of Republican and Democratic loyalists, political independents are excluded from the discussion — a non-aligned perspective goes unacknowledged, and the possibility of independent thought is precluded all together.
By overlooking the voices of regular citizens, from health care experts and providers to consumers and concerned citizens, professional journalism prevents the debate over important policy matters from advancing beyond the shortsighted interests of politicians.
In other words, professional journalism reinforces partisanship and sediments the endurance of our political duopoly in place by adding a protective layer of journalistic deference to Republican and Democratic officials on top of an institutional design that already favors a two-party system.
If our political system is to be reformed to better accommodate the voices of independent voters and the ambitions of independent politicians, then there will have to be an equivalent and simultaneous shift in mainstream journalism that halts the propagation of partisan squabbling and instead makes room for, and celebrates, independent thought.

Reluctantly agree. It's rare you hear about an average congressman unless there's scandal coming around...or is a radical. It would be nice for a news program on a Sunday morning to dedicate five minutes to an ordinary Republican member of the House and 5 minutes of a Democratic Congressman..talk about family, ideology, maybe marriage. Something to let the American people know that there are real people representing the US in Congress outside your state.
that is not journalism, though, someone does pay them...
I can see the parallel, but I think you misunderstood why the press got that label in the early 20th century.
Not only do they publicize positions... They also, even beyond politics, push the Public Relations line of products, press releases, and such. The advent of PR had had journalists become lazy. PR staff is who push the political party lines, what they want the press to do, and it's a journalistic embarrassment of immense proportions.
The problem is not government! The problem is the people!
Mark Baland Really!!
Bernie Sanders has been getting some decent press lately. I'd like to see the same occur with respect to Angus King and other national Independents.
Ideally, journalism/media should be a watchdog for the people. And reporting events truthfully, presenting each side in a fair, nonpartisan manner. But as Reuben stated, those days are long gone.

Not journalism. Journalism died in the 70's. It was bought. Journalism cannot be a prize to the highest bidder.
Your actual article is garbage. It starts with a leadoff about "siphoning voters", which supposes that 100% of the eligible voters vote every election, and that 100% of the eligible voters would vote for one of the two main parties if no third party existed. In fact, most people who vote for third party candidates would refrain from voting if their candidate was not running, and a majority of voters are completely disenfranchised, and thus, do not vote at all. If you can't stop spreading lies and propaganda of the two central parties, perhaps you should stop calling yourself "independent voter".
They have plenty of choice. Non-mainstream media reports quite truthfully. If you're having problems with the bias, pick a different channel.
To be fair, that seems to have been a very tiny fraction of history that had that. We're back to the yellow journalism of 100 years ago.
Yep false equivalency is a major factor problem for science journalism as well. The large media outlets have become lazy and/or understaffed with the change in business.
If you think abc nbc and cbs are conservative, you are so far left on political spectrum that anyone who is barely right of center must seem like a right wing extremist! I don't care who owns them, if their news people spew left wing crap then that would be a liberal media!
99% of the world's media is owned by 5 companies, and big companies are conservative. There is no liberal or progressive mass media. There is the conservative media, and then the more conservative media, like Fox News.
That's a good one, Reuben, a real thigh slapper. You missed your vocation. In stand-up comedy, people would worship the ground you walk on.
The question is stupid, as it presumes the existence of 'journalism' in America. That profession died out a while ago, all that's left now is 'journaille' ... people who pretend to be journalists.
their not professionals anymore ,you should be neutral on both sides and just give the facts that are true,and let the people decide,and not hide everything..they've all been bought.
And they tend to slant their stories in favor of one party or the other
Professional Journalism is a ms-nomer. There are no longer any "Professional Journalist.
He's referring to you! Blaming the Democrats without blaming the Republicans as well is what Kevin Is referring to.
DUH!!! Fair and balanced reporting died with Edward R. Murrow.
; ... "Lame Street (Liberal)
"Non-FOCKS..NOOSE..Media" ..... Really?" NOTE:
"PoliticusUSA has covered this subject in this space before. But never in the depth you're about to witness. The "LIBERAL MEDIA", is a TIRESOME AND WHOLLY INACCURATE SCREED that is the CENTERPIECE OF RIGHT-WING PROPAGANDA."…
…"Another FASCINATING FINDING, a 1996 American Society of Newspaper Editors found that all the presidential votes aside, EDITORIAL WRITERS were more likely to be CONSERVATIVE or independent than staffers. So, those who could mold opinion were in fact, NOT LIBERALS."…
…"An obvious starting point indicative of MASSIVE POLITICAL BIAS ON THE PART OF THE MEDIA IS TALK RADIO.This medium is WELL OVER 90% (PERCENT) RIGHT-WING, or more accurately, EXTREMELY RIGHT-WING.…
On TV, FOX NEWS IS EXTRAORDINARILY RIGHT-WING to the point of providing a stage to further the fortunes of Republican Presidential candidates by hiring them as commentators.
LIES AND MISREPRESETATIONS are the coin of the media realm on FOX." [Fox even went to court, and "WON THE RIGHT TO LIE" in their On-Air Productions."]
"Professional Journalism" died 6 years ago and was replaced with "Lapdog" journalism. I miss Walter Cronkite!
to what are you referibg to? Heritage Foundation? FOX News?
I believe the correct term would be liberal media, an inclination to simply publicize the position of the leadership of the Democrat party! Yes, yes, I know I know there's that scary Fox News that leans slightly to the right, ok that's 1 out of a 100! I know I'm gonna hear from all you leftists now!
Journalism reports the "brave" position of one party then the "unfortunate" position of the other... My opinion of the position is what that is reported to me
Disagree. Most media doesn't report they just give one side and become a propaganda arm of one side or the other.
The media only provides what the audience will buy. If people stopped accepting what now passes for reporting as such and demanded facts for their time and money, we could see a return to the days of objective reporting not commentary. Do I think that will happen? Not so long as people can identify the top pop stars or who the contestants are on the Bachelor or Bachelorette but not their government representatives of where their state is on the map of the US.
Without a doubt!
Bill Moyers??? A tool for the Left? Please! We need independent voices
The article says "the 'facts-only' approach…gradually devolved into a species of 'he-said-she said' stenography. Since professional journalists refrain from injecting their own opinions into their work, they instead aim to capture "both sides" of a story." But I say such reporting is not thorough as there are usually more than two sides to a story. In presenting only two sides, journalists now are focused more on the "horse race" than thoughtful presentations of issues. Even the polling organizations tend to approach their work in binary fashion because that's the way the voting system is set up. If we had a prevalent system of approval with scoring voting journalists and pollsters would have a much more difficult time focusing on and predicting outcomes of the "horse races" and instead might focus more on issues from many perspectives. The news media organizations might even have to invest in more reporters. Voters would then be better informed even as the voting system itself would make them likely take more interest in informing themselves about the candidates.
There is no hard news reporting any longer. Anything that comes out of a "reporter's" mouth is dripping with partisan spin. If you agree with what they are saying, then you "think" it's "news."
Most journalism I see, especially the MSM type, is nothing more than the conveying of gossip. They take press releases and reprint them in whole without applying any critical analysis - there's more truth in the actual gossip pages of the paper.
"Journalism" and/or "mainstream media" has long since been just a conduit for press releases of the administration. Maybe, just maybe, they get to actually reporting something as it gets closer to an election.
Agreed. Very depressing.
The media shrouding the Democrat party in a coat of Teflon
Wow. If that were true it would be great! Pity it's pretty much the opposite of the truth.
"FOCKS..NOOSE" leans slightly to the right? You do realize, such a statement Immediately indicts you as a "WingNUT Tool," don't you? .......
Unfortunately, that applies to at least 50 percent of the American population. The American population has become a band of parrots who repeat everything they hear or read. They don't know how to think for themselves! The newspapers, (pardon the pun) print what they are told by the political spin masters.The Hitler theory, that if you tell a lie enough times, people will start to believe it, works! Intelligent people make intelligent choices.
@DougGoodman What about the morons on the radio. If nobody listened to their "SHOW", they would be selling used cars!
@ Electoral,
I agree, and you've restated my main point. By passively transmitting the words and deeds of those in power, Democrats and Republicans, professional journalists are limiting any story or discussion to those "two sides" and excluding an arrayof independent voices. That is how they reinforce partisanship.
Continue 'Hanging With' the Fabrications of "FOCKS..NOOSE." .......
@Joe Cucchiara @DougGoodman We can always use more used car lots. All for that.

(smaller area but higher yields). If the average river draining the western sides of the mountains is 15,000 km2, then the average sediment yield would be about 1200 t/km2/yr (Figure 5.6c), equaling a sediment discharge of 2.4 bt/yr (1200 multiplied by an area of 2 x 106 km2). This calculated sediment flux may be unrealistically high, as the arid parts of the western slope may contribute little sediment to the sea; nevertheless, the total sediment discharge from western South American rivers probably is much higher than the 168 mt estimated by Milliman and Meade (1983). At present we can cite only one west coast river, the Chira (Peru), and the data represent only two years of measurement, for one of which, however, the load was 75 mt (yield 3700 t/km2, Burz, 1977).
Europe is generally regarded as having the lowest sediment flux to the sea (e.g., Holeman, 1968; Milliman and Meade, 1983). However, the Alps (a collision orogen) are a major sediment source, and the short rivers draining south into the Mediterranean have high to very high yields, generally 500 to >1000 t/km2/yr (Table 2, Milliman and Syvitski, 1992). For example, the little known Semani River (Albania) has more than twice the annual discharge (22 mt) of the collective sediment discharges of the well-known north-flowing rivers Garonne, Loire, Seine, Rhine, Weser, Elbe, Oder, and Vistula, most of which drain upland or lowland terrain. Many rivers draining north from

Will Brinson, Pete Prisco and Pat Kirwan fill you in on what to expect from Indianapolis in 2014.
Will Brinson, Pete Prisco and Pat Kirwan fill you in on what to expect from Indianapolis in 2014.
2013 finish: 11-5, lost in AFC divisional round
2014 strength of schedule ranking: 32nd
Opponents' combined 2013 winning percentage: .430
Games against 2013 playoff teams: 4
Summary: In addition to their AFC South rivals, the Colts will face every team from the AFC North and NFC East, and the first-place finishers from the AFC East and AFC West.
Preseason schedule (All times p.m. ET; home games in caps)
Aug. 7-10 at New York Jets – Buy Indianapolis Colts Tickets
Aug. 14-18 NEW YORK GIANTS – Buy Indianapolis Colts Tickets
Aug. 23 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS – Buy Indianapolis Colts Tickets
Aug. 28 at Cincinnati Bengals – Buy Indianapolis Colts Tickets
The Indianapolis Colts improved to 10-5 on Sunday afternoon after steam-rolling the play0ff-bound Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) at Arrowhead Stadium. Averaging 50 points in their previous two games, the Chiefs started brightly. Forcing Indy into a quick three-and-out on their opening possession, Jamal Charles raced into the endzone from 31 yards out with less than four minutes played. Most would have expected Kansas to take a stranglehold of the contest from there, but the Colts kept their composure and a wonderful individual performance from running back Donald Brown, coupled with a spirited defensive effort saw Indy rack up 23 unanswered points on their way to a 23-7 victory.
The Indianapolis Colts (9-5) travel to Missouri on Sunday afternoon to face an AFC powerhouse in the form of the Kansas City Chiefs (11-3). After a hugely impressive 9-0 start to the season, the Chiefs have rebounded from a three-game losing streak with wins over the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders to earn themselves the joint best record in the conference, a record shared with AFC West rivals, the Denver Broncos.
The Indianapolis Colts fell to 8-5 after a disappointing 42-28 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) on Sunday afternoon, with the scoreline flattering another inadequate Colts performance. Despite scoring four touchdowns, Indianapolis failed to score in the entire first half, and much of their scoring in the last two quarters was due to Cincinnati playing soft coverage while protecting a 21-0 lead.
The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) make the short 110-mile trip to Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday afternoon to face a formidable Cincinnati Bengals team (8-4) with playoff spots yet to be finalised. The Colts currently occupy the number 3 seed in the AFC playoff picture and all but secured the AFC South crown with last week's 22-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Cincinnati Bengals are in 4th spot with a two-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, and with only four games left in the regular season, Sunday's showdown will go a long way in deciding each team's final position in the AFC playoff standings.
The Indianapolis Colts improved to 8-4 on Sunday afternoon with an unconvincing 22-14 win over the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium. The victory puts Indy into a commanding three-game lead in the division and provides the much-needed tiebreaker over their AFC South rivals. The Colts need just one more win from their remaining four games to seal top spot, while the fight for AFC playoff seedings rumbles on.
The Indianapolis Colts (7-4) welcome the 5-6 Tennessee Titans to Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday afternoon with the AFC South crown still up for grabs. Following a narrow 30-27 victory over their division rivals in Week 11, the Colts suffered a second blowout of the season, losing 40-11 to the red-hot Arizona Cardinals in Glendale. The Titans fared better in Week 12, rebounding from the loss to Indy with an impressive late victory over the Oakland Raiders, leaving them two games behind the Colts in the race for divisional supremacy.
The Indianapolis Colts (7-3) travel to Glendale on Sunday afternoon looking to maintain their push for the 2nd seed spot in the AFC play-off picture, while their opponents, the Arizona Cardinals (6-4), have post-season aspirations of their own. Holding the same record as the faltering San Francisco 49ers, the Cards have a legitimate opportunity to beat their NFC West rivals to a wild-card spot, where they will likely join the runners-up of the NFC South division. Arizona head coach Bruce Arians has his team playing hard, and while there will be time for sentiment after the game, there is no question Arians will be fully prepared to knock off the team he lead to the play-offs last year during Chuck Pagano's battle with leukemia.
For years the Indianapolis Colts have been regarded as a passing offense, and a very good one at that. Peyton Manning's 13-year tenure at quarterback included several record-breaking seasons, with much success stemming from his partnerships with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. The new era of Indianapolis, with rookie sensation Andrew Luck started in very similar fashion last year. Luck threw for 433 yards against Miami in Week 9, breaking the record for most yards thrown in a game by a rookie quarterback. His season total finished at 4,374, the most yards thrown by a rookie QB in NFL history.

The space agency's mission statement has been quietly altered to omit mention of the phrase ?...to understand and protect our home planet.?
Why does George Bush hate Earth?
N.Y. Times:
From 2002 until this year, NASA?s mission statement, prominently featured in its budget and planning documents, read: ?To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.?
In early February, the statement was quietly altered, with the phrase ?to understand and protect our home planet? deleted. In this year?s budget and planning documents, the agency?s mission is ?to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.?
David E. Steitz, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said the aim was to square the statement with President Bush?s goal of pursuing human spaceflight to the Moon and Mars.

Child molester Ronald Reo Timm should be locked up indefinitely because he's a predator who poses a danger to society, a Spokane jury decided today.
Assistant Attorney General Tricia Boerger gave the state's final argument Tuesday before the jury, made up of nine men and three women, began deliberating the future of the 59-year-old sex offender.
Timm was convicted in 1989 of statutory rape and then again in 1996 for first-degree rape of a child. While in prison, Timm told a counselor that he molested 24 children, all ages between 3 and 7.
"He is a predator," Boerger said of Timm. "He preys on young girls to satisfy his sexual desires."

The law of silence: Speak little. Say only what you must. Speak only when necessary. Your oratory should be deeds, not words. You accomplish: let others talk.Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.Octavia E. Butler
No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.Rachel Carson
Silence is better than unmeaning words.Pythagoras
Talking comes by nature, silence by wisdom.Proverb
This is Canada, not Egypt or Afgnistan where u could silence me. Mate this twitter, not yr dictatorial mosque, so scramTarek Fatah
The attempt to silence a man is the greatest honour you can bestow on him. It means that you recognize his superiority to yourself.Joseph Sobran
He gave me no sign. I was never the sort to receive portents, or to delude myself that I had. Silence was always my portion, in return for my prayers.Lois McMaster Bujold
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.Marcus Tullius Cicero
What physic, what chirurgery, what wealth, favor, authority can relieve, bear out, assuage, or expel a troubled conscience? A quiet mind cureth all them, but all they cannot comfort a distressed soul: who can put to silence the voice of desperation?Robert Burton
Silence is not always tact and it is tact that is golden, not silence.Samuel Butler
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.Thomas Carlyle
Silence is exhilarating at first - as noise is - but there is a sweetness to silence outlasting exhilaration, akin to the sweetness of listening and the velvet of sleep.Edward Hoagland
Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood is ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence ... What are the fruits of silence? They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character.Ohiyesa
We had no churches, no religious organizations, no sabbath day, no holidays, and yet we worshiped. Sometimes the whole tribe would assemble to sing or pray; sometimes in a small number, perhaps only two or three. Sometimes we prayed in silence, sometimes each one prayed aloud.Geronimo, Apache war chief
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cruelest lies are often told in silence.Adlai Stevenson

Jim Williams has been watching birds and writing about their antics since before "Gilligan's Island" went into reruns. Join him for his unique insights, his everyday adventures and an open conversation about the birds in your back yard and beyond.
Baltimore Orioles are being seen in the metro area. You can bring them in for a close look by offering them grape jelly. It's an early substitute for the fruit they would eat if it was available. We made our jelly feeder in about five minutes. The container once held deli olives. Two holes were drilled to accommodate the perch, an old paint brush. Trying to poke a hole with a knife is likely to shatter the plastic. This impressive feeder is attached to our deck railing with a foot of string. The perch is necessay to help keep the bird from standing in the jelly. The oriole will have no way to clean himself if it becomes a sticky mess.

Four in court for taxi violenceComment on this story
Johannesburg - Four people accused of taxi violence, murder and attempted murder appeared in the Sebokeng Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, the Hawks said.
The matter was moved to the High Court in Johannesburg, spokesman Paul Ramaloko said.
"They are still in custody and will be back in court on February 18 for a high court date."
Seven men from the Vaal Wits Taxi Association, accused of violence and murder, were arrested on different occasions in December.
The violence resulted in the deaths of two taxi bosses and a 15-year-old teenager.
It was believed that the men were being shielded by a prosecutor and a number of police officers from being arrested, said Ramaloko.
"When the Hawks took over the case we noticed that a number of the cases were never resolved," Ramaloko said at the time.
He said the other three men would appear in the Sebokeng Magistrate's Court on Thursday.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|Look up seclusion in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
The act of secluding, i.e. shutting out or keeping apart from society, or the state of being secluded, or a place that facilitates it (a secluded place). A person, a couple, or a larger group may go to a secluded place for privacy, or because the place is quiet. Seclusion of a single person is also called solitude.
In some cases where there are legal, religious or social restrictions on two people having physical intimacy, there may even be such restrictions on just being together in a secluded place. For example, under traditional schools of sharia or Islamic law, a man and a woman who are not married and not mahram, being together in a house, a room, a bathroom, or a secluded place may be forbidden. A man and women could be in a secluded area for work purposes, just talking, anything that does not allow them to pass their limits. See also yichud—a similar rule in Judaism.
Seclusion may be used as a control tactic in psychiatric treatment settings. Seclusion of an agitated person in a quiet room free of stimulation may help de-escalate a situation which may be dangerous to the agitated person or those around him.
In relation to administering medications, seclusion is a tactic devised for those unwilling to proceed with instructions. Patients who are secluded due to aggressive behaviour should not be restrained to seclusion nor medication to calm them instead restraint measures should be taken into consideration. Other measures, such as behavioural therapy, should be considered when assessing the care of the patient.[1]
Seclusion must only be used in the best interest of the patient, it must only be used as a last resort method and must not be prolonged as a form of punishment on the patient. In Ireland, The Mental Health Commission governs seclusion in psychiatric institutions. The Act states that a person can only be placed in seclusion if

As the owner of pet daycare and dog-boarding facility Winston and Friendz, he leads a team of well-trained staff who supervise as pets spend the night in a private room or frolic in a fenced-in play area. The daycare center also keep its four-legged visitors fueled for play with a selection of homemade treats and dog cakes.
Each year, the SPCA Serving Erie County gives more than 15,000 dogs, cats, and exotic pets a new lease on life. Founded in 1867—making it the second-oldest humane society in the country—the SPCA's compassionate animal rescue, rehabilitation, foster care, and adoption services have earned Charity Navigator's four-star rating for extraordinary accountability and transparency, the highest rating available in all three categories. In the adoption center, furry faces peer from comfortable, clean cages as staff and volunteers evaluate customers' needs and introduce them to compatible pets, decreasing the chance of conflict when adopters' favorite shows compete with Animal Planet specials. Before becoming eligible for adoption, pets undergo thorough health, temperament, and behavioral evaluations, and those who need extra TLC receive additional obedience training.
In addition to matching people with loving pets, SPCA Serving Erie County's staff investigates more than 200 animal-cruelty complaints per month, and provides emergency animal-rescue services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rescued animals receive state-of-the-art medical care in the facility's onsite surgical suite, and rehabilitation programs prepare them to thrive in loving homes. A local, independent humane society, the donation-supported SPCA Serving Erie County is not associated with the ASPCA and receives no government funding.
Whether outside on a sunny patio dotted with crimson umbrellas, or inside the low-key dining room, visitors to Mike's Lucky Dog chow on dogs, burgers, and beers. Grill masters charbroil the meats before loading them with toppings including fresh onions and tomatoes, tangy relish, or ladles of chili and nacho cheese. Pours from rotating taps have recently included Flying Bison Bisonfest, Southern Tier IPA, and Great Lakes Eliot Ness.
we provide an opportunity to get a great workout with your dog, while simultaneously working on basic obedience throughout the hour.

TheStreet.com Ratings: Top Five Small-Cap Stocks
Each weekday, TheStreet.com Ratings compiles a list of the top five stocks in five categories -- fast-growth, all-around value, large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap -- and publishes these lists in the
Today, small-cap stocks are in the spotlight. These are stocks of companies that have market capitalizations of between $50 million and $500 million that rank near the top of all stocks rated by our proprietary quantitative model, which looks at more than 60 factors.
In addition, the stocks must be followed by at least one financial analyst who posts estimates on the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System. The stocks are ordered by their potential to appreciate.
Today's list begins with Martin Midstream (MMLP), which provides marine transportation, terminalling, distribution and midstream logistical services for producers and suppliers of hydrocarbon products and byproducts. It has been rated a buy since June 2005. The company shows impressive revenue growth, significantly increased net operating cash flow and strong stock price performance. These positives outweigh concern about Martin Midstream's growth in net income.
EnergySouth (ENSI) is a holding company concentrated on the purchase, distribution, storage and transportation of natural gas in southwest Alabama. EnergySouth has been rated a buy since March 2005. Its strengths include strong net operating cash flow, a reasonable debt-to-equity ratio beneath that of the industry average and remarkable stock price growth. Its stock is expensive relative to its peers, but given its performance, the higher price is justified. Though EnergySouth shows a somewhat disappointing return on equity, its overall financial strengths outweigh its weaknesses, and the stock merits a buy rating.

I just got a new bike with XT shifters. When I shift into an easier gear on the right shifter, usually under load or shifting fast, the paddle will shift one gear then it seems like it disconnects or skips. It doesn't happen every time, but the first time or two it happened I thought I had broken the paddle off, but it was fine. All other times the shifting feels great.
Is this normal?

Who says no?! Be practical. In this materialistic world, you surely need money to being happy. Otherwise no one will care for you. Money can't buy happiness(because happiness is not being sold anywhere. So how anyone could buy it?!) but it can provide you happiness.

Apple hires Toronto Blue Jays assistant GM to manage Sports section of the App Store
The Toronto Blue Jays' Assistant General Manager Jay Sartori is leaving the team to become the manager of the Sports section of Apple's App Store, according to SportsNet.ca. As Shi Davidi first reported:
The Toronto Blue Jays are on the lookout for a new assistant general manager with Jay Sartori set to leave his job next month after accepting an executive position with Apple Inc.
Sartori is taking over as the tech titan's manager of the App Store's sports and entertainment category, a departure from the arbitration, contract and collective bargaining agreement interpretation work he handled for the Blue Jays.
Apple has not made an official announcement about the hire (and, indeed, probably won't). However, it's likely Sartori will act in an editorial / curation role, seeking out the best apps to highlight for the Sports section of the App Store.

It's No Coincidence -- Stocks and Auto Sales Are Both Frothy
Story has been updated with early morning prices for Ford and GM shares.
DETROIT (TheStreet) -- Not surprisingly, record stock market performance is being matched by continued strength in the U.S. auto markets, with expected August automotive spending of $39 billion, the second highest monthly total in history.
However, the auto market, like other economic sectors, shows occasional signs of frothiness and easy credit, fueling concerns about a potential fallback.
Read More: Delta Is Right on the Ex-Im Bank -- Too Bad the Tea Party Is its Biggest Ally
Car sales for August are expected to be flat compared with the same month a year earlier, partially because August will have 27 sales days this year, compared with 28 sales days in 2013.
Nevertheless, consumer spending on new vehicles in August is expected "to approach $39 billion, the highest level on record for the month of August and second-highest month ever behind July 2005 ($39.7 billion)," said J.D. Power analyst John Humphrey in a prepared statement.
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV | More videos from Ruben Ramirez
Read More: 5 Most Beloved U.S. Airlines of All Time "The record consumer spending is fueled by both high sales volumes and high transaction prices," Humphrey said. Auto sales numbers are among the best economic indicators because they track a major consumer purchase, are reported quickly after the month ends and are almost never revised. Car sales for August are scheduled to be reported on Sept. 3.
Ford (F) shares year to date are running ahead of the S&P 500, while shares in GM (GM) , hobbled by an ignition switch scandal that led to 27 million recalls this year, have slid.
Shortly after the opening bell on Wednesday, Ford shares traded down 7.5 cents to $17.29, while GM shares traded down 29 cents to $34.42. Year-to-date, Ford shares are up 12%, the S&P 500 is up 8% and GM shares are down 16%.
The pace of auto sales, tracked as the seasonally adjusted annualized sales rate, ihas been gaining ground this year. "We expect August U.S. light vehicle SAAR to track at roughly 16.6 million, representing a solid 5% improvement from 15.9 million in August of 2013, and a 1% increase from last month's 16.4 million," wrote J.P. Morgan auto analyst Ryan Brinkman in a recent report. TrueCar also forecasts an August SAAR of 16.6. JD Power affiliate LMC Automotive projects 2014 sales of 16.3 million units, up 5% from 2013.
"As a very robust summer selling season winds down, optimism continues in the auto industry for the remainder of 2014, with expectations of economic growth beginning to catch up to the growth in autos," said LMC analyst Jeff Schuster in a prepared statement. Auto sales have climbed steadily since they hit a 27-year low of 10.2 million in 2009. Sales reached 15.6 million in 2013. Sales of 16.5 million would equal the 2006 level.
