When Microsoft's $300 Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 comes out this September, it will be more expensive than any other prepackaged mouse-and-keyboard combination currently available. And as feature-packed as this wireless rechargeable desktop set might be, we're not confident that very many people will want what Microsoft has to offer. With no number pad, the keyboard is not ideal for an office environment. And thanks to a clunky recharging station, we can't see too many people setting this up in a living room. If you're in the market, then, for a $300 desktop set best suited for watching movies while leaning back in a desk chair (dorm-dwellers, we're looking at you), you might be interested in this new set. Regardless of how you might use it, we suspect most people will simply find the price too high.
We'll start with the keyboard. The keyboard in the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 set is basically the same as the 7000 version we reviewed a few months back (and our criticisms of its oversized keys remain) but with a few improvements. Cosmetically, Microsoft applied a silver finish to the keys, giving it a lighter look than the 7000 model. It also added the most advanced backlighting we've seen in a keyboard. A motion detector on the front edge senses whether there's a body in front of it. If you're not there, the lights go off. Further, a built-in ambient light sensor detects the light level in the room and adjusts the intensity of the soft white backlighting accordingly. It also has function buttons for you to set the light level manually.

More than 30 years ago, Idaho's boaters, snowmobilers, dirt-bikers and ATV riders made a deal: They'd give up their gas tax refunds for gas burned off-road if the state would direct that tax money to trails, boat launches and the like. It worked. While farmers and log-truck drivers still get refunds for gas taxes paid on gas that actually gets burned off-road, off-road recreationists don't, but they benefit from $4.8 million a year that goes to waterways improvements, off-road trails, park roads and bridges and search and rescue.
Now, however, a session-ending deal between lawmakers and Gov. Butch Otter to divert that gas tax money to road maintenance has the recreationists steamed. "If they want to take that back, then give us the refunds back," said Tom Crimmins, a Hayden Lake trails consultant and retired forester. And if the state needs more money for road work, he said, it should raise the gas tax. Crimmins spoke out at the last state Parks Board meeting in Boise, and motorized recreation groups around the state are organizing to oppose the funding deal. "There's going to be some petition drives, we'll probably have some bumper stickers and buttons," Crimmins said. And when a special legislative task force starts meeting later this summer to address possible alternative funding sources for parks and for the Idaho State Police, which also would lose millions in gas tax funding a year from now under the deal, "We plan to be there en masse," Crimmins said.
The recreationists are particularly upset because during this year's legislative session, they successfully worked to raise their own ATV registration fees from $10 to $12 a year. The increase, which takes effect Jan. 1, will go half to law enforcement, and half to the state Department of Lands, to offset any damage caused by off-road recreation on state lands.
"I think they have a legitimate concern," said state Sen. Jim Hammond, R-Post Falls, one of eight members of the special legislative task force. Hammond said when he voted for the road deal, he wasn't aware of the history behind the trail funding. "At that point in the session, you're almost willing to vote for anything to get out of there," he said. "Now we have to face the fact that we have some real issues that we created as a result of that, and we've got to fix it. It's going to be tough." You can read my full story here in today's Spokesman-Review; the legislative task force holds its first meeting June 30.

We would like to keep you informed about the LMA by email in the future, but we need your permission to do this. Your feedback is really valuable so please tell us how you'd like to hear from us.
The LMA apologises for some of its wording, in its release yesterday, which was inappropriate and has been perceived to trivialise matters of a racist, sexist or homophobic nature. That was certainly not our intention.
It is beyond argument that any comments that are discriminatory, even used in private, are totally unacceptable. The LMA remains absolutely aware of our responsibility to the game and to promote and uphold the highest standards of behaviour.
The LMA will not be commenting further on the allegations relating to Malky Mackay whilst The FA conducts its investigation, other than to repeat that both the LMA and Malky will be cooperating fully.
We will continue to work with all of the game's stakeholders to address the important issues of respect and discriminatory behaviour in all its forms.

Ansys' CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
So with that, I'll introduce my cohort here, Maria Shields, our CFO, who will go through our Safe Harbor Statement. So Maria?
Maria T. Shields
Okay. Thanks, Jim. Good morning, everyone. I'd just like to remind you that in addition to any risks and uncertainties that we highlight during the course of this call, important factors that may affect our future results are discussed at length in our public filings with the SEC, all of which are also available via our website. Additionally, the company's reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance as there are risks and uncertainties that could impact our business in the future. These statements are based upon our view of the business as of today and ANSYS undertakes no obligation to update any such information, unless we do so in a public forum. During the course of this call and in the prepared remarks, we'll be making reference to non-GAAP financial measures. A discussion of the various items that are excluded and a full reconciliation of GAAP to comparable non-GAAP financial measures are included in this morning's earnings release materials and the related Form 8-K.
So Jim, I'll turn it back over to you.James E. Cashman Okay, great. Thanks. So before we get started with the Q&A, I'd like to briefly underscore a few important highlights regarding our Q1 results and the continued commitment to delivering our 2012 outlook. So let me begin by saying Q1 was a solid quarter on many fronts. I guess from my perspective the most important aspect of the performance for Q1 was that despite some challenges, we continued an important multiyear trend for us to the company and the management team, and we delivered on those key commitments. So both revenue and earnings were in line with the range that we have guided on coming into the quarter.

Recently a Japanese economist visited Washington to explain his government's "five year economic outlook." A five month outlook might have been more credible. Yet with surprising hubris, the economist forecast inflation and GDP five years out.
For decades, hubris has been the common currency of the economic policy world. It is killing the economics profession. In the 1960s and 1970s, for example, liberal economists believed they could eliminate all poverty. In the 1980s, conservatives thought tax policy could permanently raise the savings rate. It turns out other factors also influence a person's decision to save.
In the first decade of this century, some central bank economists thought they could engineer monetary policy (with the help of global capital inflows) to eliminate the U.S. business cycle. What happened? The underpricing of financial risk helped lead to the global financial crisis.
The experts also blundered in Europe. At first, the economists assumed tiny Greece's debt problems could be contained. Italian policymakers were engulfed in hubris as their government bond interest rates remained unaffected by the Greek crisis. Bank of Italy governor Mario Draghi (now head of the European Central Bank) was in the midst of a victory lap when, to his embarrassment, Italy's long-term rates skyrocketed.
Hanging by a thread, the euro project today looks like a case of hubris on steroids.
Now the world is being flooded with money and debt. The relational matrix of debt, interest rates, and growth has become the great conundrum of our time, a Rubik's Cube of difficult choices with unintended consequences. Yet as the financial system has grown more stunningly complex, hubris strangely has shifted into high gear.
Keynesians demand massive new government spending, insisting that with the economy having so much excess capacity, debt doesn't matter. Many conservatives demand fiscal austerity, believing the announcement of which will somehow attract global capital. Yet the austerity talk produces precisely the kind of market uncertainty that scares away investors.
But the big granddaddy of them all is the hubris surrounding quantitative easing (QE), a policy tantamount to propping up a bicycle with a set of monetary training wheels. In the United States and Japan, central bank economists are thrilled because QE rallied stock markets. The hope is that affluent stock owners will increase consumption, creating a trickle-down monetary effect to the rest of the economy.
Seldom mentioned is that central bankers have a terrible track record at identifying and controlling financial bubbles, including stock market bubbles. The economists say trust us anyway, because this time is different. But look at the rosy economic forecasts of the FOMC, the Federal Reserve's policymaking committee, over the last several years. Each January, the FOMC has predicted annual growth of roughly 3.5 percent. The outcome was always closer to 2 percent, despite a grab bag of ever-increasing monetary stimulus.
Economists fare the worst in understanding politics. Under QE, the gap between American families that own equities and mere wage-earning families has widened dramatically. Government, as economist Robert Johnson put it, has become "an insurance agency for the rich and powerful with premiums paid by the middle class."
The economics profession has ample reason to feel defeatist. For decades, despite a variety of fiscal and monetary stimuli under both parties, middle-class wages and salaries in real terms have stagnated. The saving grace was the availability of cheap loans, only now the loans are becoming tougher to obtain.
Most Americans can sense something is fundamentally wrong. The traditional fiscal and monetary tools aren't working the way the experts predicted. Public and private leverage has become an unsatisfactory substitute for innovative breakthroughs that enhance productivity, dramatically increase GDP growth, create jobs, and lead to increases in real wages and salaries.
Stocks rally, correct, then rally some more. The economists cheer their own success. Meanwhile, six in ten Americans still sense the country is moving in the wrong direction. And the crux of the problem may well be this simple observation: Sensing the system is broken, Americans no longer "salivate for the future," as columnist David Brooks aptly put it.
So at worst, the field of economics is dying. It is becoming less a science and more an art. At best, it needs a giant rethink in light of today's challenges.

Remembering Friedrich Hayek, whose birthday is today. He was a philosopher and economist and wrote many wise things, including this:
There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal.
There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal.
George Orwell, no fan of capitalism, writing in 1944, made this point in a review of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom:
In 1945, Friedrich Hayek famously predicted that economic interventionism in the West would lead to the erosion of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism. More than sixty-five years later, this prediction does not seem to have been validated.
Andrew Stiles: "House Republicans Postpone Payroll Tax Vote"
Mediaite: "Sarah Palin Tells Fox Business Network That 'It's Not Too Late' To Jump Into The GOP Race"
The folks at econstories.tv are back with round two of their entertaining and informative rap battle between economists John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek. Watch it below:
Obama is sitting out the union fights.
Relax, Col. Qaddafi has only "1,000 metric tons of uranium yellowcake."
"There literally is nothing the federal government cannot regulate provided there is even a hypothetical connection to the economy."
The Great Obamanomic Job Creation Machine rumbled into action again over the Fourth of July weekend, promising to spend as much as $2 billion to support creation of 1,585 "permanent" jobs by two solar energy companies. That comes to a potential cost of over $1.25 million per job.

OTTAWA Twenty-one cannon shots reverberated Sunday off the National War Memorial in Ottawa and 21 times, most of the hushed crowd of thousands collectively flinched at the sound.
Except for the veterans, whose eyes never left the looming cenotaph covered in wreaths.
Veterans in wheelchairs wrapped themselves in blue fleece blankets to ward off the chill that invaded Parliament Hill, while the rest of southern Ontario basked in warm weather.
"The younger veterans and the older veterans, they meet today in mutual respect and admiration as partners in the battle against evil. They are Canada's best," Rabbi Reuven Bulka, Honorary Chaplain of Dominion Command, told the crowd.
"They fought our fight to ensure freedom and dignity for everyone. They therefore deserve to be celebrated, applauded and eternally appreciated as authentic heroes."
Governor General David Johnston, who was wearing the blue uniform of the Royal Canadian Air Force, led the national service that also included a military parade, prayers and song.
Among those in attendance was Roxanne Priede, this year's National Silver Cross Mother, picked by the Royal Canadian Legion to attend the ceremony on behalf of all Canadian mothers who have lost children in the service to their country.
Priede shed tears as she lay a wreath at the base of the war memorial. Her son, Master Corporal Darrell Jason Priede, who was born in Burlington, died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2007.
The public encircled the monument Sunday as if to give it a giant national hug and needed little urging from Bulka to collectively shout a thank-you.
Afterwards they surged forward to place their own poppies on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, some taking a minute to thank the veterans they encountered on the way.
But while veterans felt the warmth of the crowd despite the chilly air Sunday, this year's ceremony comes at a time of cool relations between veterans and the government.
Concern continues about the resources being put toward veterans' care, including the amount of money made available for their funerals.
Changes to pension programs, disability benefits and the perception of a shrinking pool of resources for other care have set some veterans' teeth on edge — even on the other side of the world.
Retired peacekeeper Leonard Kerr, formerly of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, attended a memorial service in Hong Kong being attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"I love my regiment and I love my country, but I'm not wearing anything that was given to me by the government as a decoration as a protest for the treatment of our veterans," said Kerr.
He said he is unhappy with the fact the government replaced a pension system for injured veterans with a lump-sum payment for the younger generation.
"I just think that now they've used us in Afghanistan, I don't really think the government cares that much about us anymore. I really just don't."
Some 950 members of the Canadian Forces remain in Afghanistan, where they are training that country's national security forces.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay spent the day with some of them.
The ceremony in Hong Kong took place at a cemetery where 283 Canadian soldiers are buried.They had been defending what then was British territory, from Japanese attack. It was returned to China by the British in 1997.
Harper and his wife placed wreaths at the base of the Sai Wan memorial, which commemorates those who were killed in the battle of Hong Kong — one of the most catastrophic episodes in Canadian military history.
The 1,975 Canadian troops from the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Canada, who had received little combat training, were vastly outnumbered by the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers that descended on the city in the hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
Nearly 300 were killed, and the rest sent to prisoner of war camps where they were subjected to torture, starvation and forced labour at the hands of their captors. Another 267 died before liberation in 1945, and those who returned home bore the physical and psychological scars for the rest of their lives.
Ken Pifher of Grimsby travelled to Hong Kong for Sunday's ceremony. The 91-year-old walked next to Harper past the rows upon rows of gravestones to the main memorial at a plateau on the hill. He had given Harper a letter of encouragement that former prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King had sent PoWs during the war.
Pifher, who served with the Royal Rifles of Canada as a private, described how the men in the camps got through all those years.
"It took a little while, but we lived on rumours. And there was a lot of them. A rumour would come along and then it was gone," Pifher said.
"But we knew things were going well because of the planes going over and also for a while there was a radio in camp, until they found it and it was confiscated.""

Forest Threats
Forests are under attack from invasive species, diseases and unprecedented outbreak of pests, while trying to withstand stress caused by climate change and drought. The Midwest is fighting is the invasive species emerald ash borer, which is killing tens of millions of ash trees. New England has seen tens of thousands of trees succumb to the Asian longhorned beetle, which, if it spreads, is estimated to be able to destroy 30 percent of the country's hardwoods. In the West, millions of trees are being lost to the combined threat of mountain pine beetles and white pine blister rust. Cities across the country have lost tens of thousands of elm trees to Dutch elm disease over the last 60 years. Developing strong management and restoration plans is essential to protecting our forests from invasives, disease and pests.
Our Strategy
Each threat to forests requires us to take a unique approach to solving it.
Through American Forests Global ReLeaf, we work to replant trees, including disease-resistant trees, in areas harmed by disease, insects and more.
Meanwhile, our Endangered Western Forests initiative is helping fight myriad threats to our western forests by planting disease-resistant trees, applying insect-repelling pheromone patches to trees, developing new management plans and more.
Other issues can be addressed more efficiently through policy than field work by trying to prevent future problems, as well as fixing current ones. This approach has led to our efforts in advocating for sustainable forest management, economic incentives for landowners to keep their property forested, and recognition of forests as water resources.
Take Action

EAB Goes Global
by Susan Laszewski
The beautiful, but deadly, emerald ash borer (EAB) doesn't look to be slowing down. In fact, this army of tree pests is taking its attack on ash trees global. Last month, four Russian scientists — three from Moscow and one from Siberia — paid a visit to the U.S. to learn more about a pest that has recently become all-too-familiar to them. Yury Ivanovich Gninenko and Yulia Anatolievna Sergeeva, researchers in forest protection against... (Read More)

Verastem To Present On Focal Adhesion Kinase Program At The 11th International Conference Of The International Mesothelioma Interest Group
Verastem, Inc., (NASDAQ: VSTM) a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing drugs to treat breast and other cancers by targeting cancer stem cells, announced the presentation of data at the International Conference of the International Mesothelioma Interest Group being held September 11 – 15, 2012, in Boston, MA.
Verastem will present data on the targeted inhibition of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) in mesothelioma. Approximately 50% of patients with mesothelioma harbor a specific genetic lesion in the gene Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), which results in the loss of the protein Merlin and increased sensitivity to FAK inhibition.
"In Merlin-negative mesothelioma, we have demonstrated that the proportion of cancer stem cells increases in response to treatment with the standard of care agent pemetrexed," said Jonathan Pachter, Ph.D., Verastem Vice President and Head of Research. "In striking contrast, we have found that these cancer stem cells are particularly sensitive to targeted FAK inhibition. This translational research provides valuable information for the design of our upcoming clinical trials."
The schedule for the Verastem poster presentation is as follows:Date: Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM (ET) Poster Title: FAK inhibitor VS-4718 preferentially attenuates cell growth of malignant mesotheliomas with NF2 mutation: role of cancer stem cells Abstract Number: 407 Location: Harborview Ballroom at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center in Boston, MA Session: Novel Therapeutics About Verastem, Inc. Verastem, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSTM) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing drugs to treat breast and other cancers by targeting cancer stem cells.

Republicans open spending front in 'cliff' row
Published on Dec 12, 2012 6:06 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President Barack Obama and Republicans waged a new spat over spending cuts on Tuesday, as time ran short and little progress was evident towards ending a vexing year-end austerity and tax crisis.
After days duelling over Mr Obama's demand for higher taxes on the rich, each side accused the other of failing to lay out specific spending cuts, digging in to familiar positions on the showdown known as the "fiscal cliff."
If the two sides cannot agree a deal before the end of the year, taxes will go up on all Americans and automatic and savage cuts to government spending will begin, prompting fears the economy could dive into a new recession.
Top Republicans accused Mr Obama of failing to lay out spending reductions that they say are needed for them to bargain on tax rates, saying he was running down the clock and could force America past the damaging Jan 1 deadline.

U.S. President Barack Obama is not a man accustomed to grovelling. Yet he may have consumed a large chunk of humble pie this week when he sprang into damage control mode and offered a telephonic apology to American Indian California Attorney General for calling her the "best looking" among her peers.
The President's Press Secretary, Jay Carney, said in his official briefing upon return from his boss' fund-raising trip to the West Coast that "the President did speak with Attorney General Harris last night after he came back from his trip. And he called her to apologise for the distraction created by his comments."
Mr. Obama roused the fury of many media commentators after he said — in the presence of Ms. Harris — at a private dinner on Thursday: " ... She is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough ... She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country ... It's true. Come on."
While confirming that Mr. Obama had apologised, Mr. Carney, drew attention to the fact that the President had also praised Ms. Harris as a colleague. He said Mr. Obama "did not want in any way to diminish the Attorney General's professional accomplishments and her capabilities," and added that the President believed and fully recognised the challenge women continue to face in the workplace and that they should not be judged based on appearance.
Ms. Harris, a rising star in the Democratic firmament in her State, has been the Attorney General of California since 2010 and is considered a potential candidate for Governor or even U.S. Supreme Court, should the opportunity arise. She is the daughter of Dr. Shyamala Gopalan — a breast cancer specialist who emigrated to the U.S from Chennai in 1960. Her father, said to be Jamaican-American, is Stanford University economics professor Donald Harris. Numerous commentators criticised Mr. Obama's "compliment", with some describing his remark as "disgraceful," though others said it was "more wolfish than sexist," and some called for everyone to "lighten up."

Welcome, Guest
A Moment of Clarity
Ever have occurrences and thoughts in your life that seem to come out of nowhere, then reoccur over a period of time?
I have been going through just that over the past few weeks.
In my line of work, I see many people struggling to get a new life and grow in a new direction. To stay on top of things and to keep my mind open, I read a lot and go on a number of web sites on which people are struggling and/or have successfully turned their lives around. In volunteer work, and professionally, I am in constant contact with people who are walking the road or state that they want to move to a new place in their lives.
I was graced with a recovered life. It was a gift, a gift I was able to humbly receive and accept for no reason known to me. I was a person, like millions of others who was depressed, had low self-esteem, was functional but a misfit in many functions and got to a point where I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired, tired of saying I'm sorry and tiered of feeling like a life underachiever.
Recent things that have been reoccurring have made me really think; what was the one thing that turned it around, that made the difference. If sharing this offers others some insight great; but it is important that I remember.
Accepting completely where I was at in my life was important, as was reconnecting to a power greater than myself, having some illogical faith that this power could help and seeking help just based on faith; all of these things were important.
I was told to do a fearless and searching inventory of myself. I was given the Big Book of AA and other AA material to assist, and the suggestions of some good people. I can reflect back and say I did the best I could with what I had, but, quite frankly, did not find clarity on why I was the way I was. I did get a better understanding of my flaws and things I had done to hurt others. I did not need to do an inventory to know I was carrying a lot of garbage, guilt and shame. I had lived with these feelings for years.
One day a professional who was a part of my life offered me a very lengthy questionnaire which guided me and gave me the structure to take a look at my life from earliest memories to current times. I was told not to over think (a bad habit of mine) but to just answer the questions very thoughtfully and in order.
I truly wanted to know why I had got to what I now call my bottom. I knew that things had started a long way back.
I worked diligently on this project; like the life or death it was. I wrote and I wrote, not looking back, but focusing on the question at hand. At times, I had to stop, because I had to look at areas of my life that evoke very deep emotions. I noted these emotions. Finally, I got to the end and put my "biography" away for a few days and allowed the emotions to settle.
I took the completed document back out and read it as objectively as I could, as if were the story of someone I knew about but not in detail. It was not a literary masterpiece, yet I wasn't reading it to grade it or give style points.
I wanted to find an answer-WHY AM I?
It happened. A true moment of clarity, a real Ah Ha moment. There was a day when I was between three and four years old, a day my life changed forever. I was ripped from a very secure world to what to me was a far less secure world. I started to act out to get attention. Some of this acting out was cutesy, a lot was destructive. I went from a world where I belonged and fit to a world where I was second best, not quite good enough.
A pattern began that was to evolve downward for over forty years. A life of great highs and great lows. The life that made me who I am.
I, for the first time, understood the "WHY" and it was a huge relief and a point that allowed me to truly accept and begin the process of recovering a life with real meaning. I was set free.
So many I have seen struggle lately, in my opinion, play around the edges. There is no one way to recovering a life you really want. There are ways to insure failure, and those of us in active recovery who are witnesses watch it happen. No real acceptance, no real action. A charade to fool self and others. The percentage of those who don't get turned around is staggering, and the focus of my life today is to use my experience and training to make a small difference.
Those who have recovered all have some things generally in common.
They have sought help. They have fully accepted what has happened. They've committed to a taken action. They, in there own way, give a bit of what they have got back to society to get more of what they were "gifted". They have set some life goals, and not lost focus on the basic goals. They have recovered a life. Some hit a point that they are fully content with, others make life recovery a life time search, but they all enjoy a large amount of hope and serenity.
A few months back, I faced the toughest question I think I have ever had to deal with. A young boy phoned me and asked, "Can you get my Daddy sober?"It floored me, and I had to answer no, but told him he could help his Dad get sober by telling Dad that it meant a lot to him, and I told that lad I would also be there to help Dad as Dad did what Dad had to do. I have recently watched, witnessed and read about a lot of slipping and sliding and read pros and cons on the best way to turn things around.
The answer for me was straight forward. A moment of clarity that came as a result of the hard work that I was asked to do. Understanding the why and accepting the who and a lifetime of continuous recovery work. It is a gift I was humble enough to receive, and a gift that is available to those who truly accept and take action.

Fer would do it again
Norwich forward Leroy Fer has vowed to repeat an act described as poor sportsmanship by Cardiff manager Malky Mackay if faced with the same situation again.
– Norwich midfielder Leroy Fer
I just looked at the referee. He said 'play on' with his hands.
Then he said he didn't blow his whistle and that was the reason he didn't allow the goal.
I'm a little bit confused on that one. I did mean to put it in the net because I wanted to win the game.
Would I do it again? If it was a zero-zero game yes, because I just want to win.
I want to win every game and that's why I did it.

Strobe on a boom, how to prevent slippage?
Started Jan 18, 2011 | Discussions thread
Senior Member • Posts: 1,611
Sounds like you found what you needed.
I have a Mathews Mini-Boom that sound similar to what you have.
The boom has a section that extends and is a solid piece of metal.
What I did was to take a grinding tool (Dremel) and created a flat spot for the set screw on the shaft.
You have to be certain that you've lined up the set screw with the flat spot (I painted an arrow) or gets real loose if it slides around the shaft.

Can someone edit the title please! Comain should be Domain! DONE
We're in the middle of migrating to our new domain at the moment and It was going quite well until this afternoon. I'd copied across some data from the old to the new and managed to decomission 2 of our existing servers. So I removed them from the rack today and had a bit of a re-organisation which involved most of the server being removed from the rack in the end and moved to new positions to accomodate everything in some sort of logical order.
Came to powering everything back on again, all the new servers started up fine, I then started up server 1 for our old RMCC3 network and it started loading windows fine, so I switch on everything else. Come back to check on them about 2 or 3 minutes later, and notice that the old server 1 is just displaying a gray screen, looks like it got stuck on startup somewhere. So I leave it another ten minutes and still nothing so no other optiont but to hit the reset switch. Here's where it goes horribly wrong.
Server won't start, and the RAID controller is reporting 3 disc failures! Yes that's 3 discs out of a possible 6, absolutely great! So now it's officially dead. It's not a major major problem, as the backup completed sucessfully last night so I have all the data from it safe which happens to be all the staff files :eek: (Tape currently residing in my house for ultra safe keeping!) but it is a problem in that I still need to migrate exchange except the old exchange server can't authenticate to anything because that server was performing DNS for the old domain. :frusty:
Would I get away with renaming the old Server 2 to server 1 and changing the IP number, then installing DNS onto that to replace the now missing DNS server? Would that work and allow exchange to log on (there are still 3 other domain controllers from the old domain, so there's servers there for it to autneticate to if it can find them)
Or could I add the old servers 1's IP number to my new network domain controller then add the old networks domain to that DNS server so it can resolve names? Would that work?
I only need it running so I can log onto the exchange box and migrate across all the e-mail, once that task is complete, then the old domain can be trashed - two more days that's all I needed!
Looks like staff won't be getting their laptops back as early as I hoped!
Any help appreciated!

text: 4.5 best FPS.....ever Reviewer350 | 08/12/2012 | See all Reviewer350's reviews (3) this game is better then call of duty because the storyline makes more sense. but the multiplayer is the suprise highlight. you can unlock camouflages for your character and there are hundreds of weapons, upgrades, gadgets, dogtags and camos and there is even morters.the maps are huge and over plenty of good sniping positions. such as the caspian border map where there is a huge tower that can only be accessed by air, so you have to get a jet and fly over it and jump out and use your parachute it is really fun.you can destroy entire buildings the house to house combat is really fun. its also great coming up behind a sniper and stabbing them to get their dogtags.BUY THIS GAME. the singleplayer is too short but the multiplayer will keep you occupied for ages. especially with battlefield premium which adds new camos, new dogtags, new guns, new vehicles, new maps and challenges.

WASHINGTON - Hurricane Katrina will reduce employment by 400,000 people in coming months while trimming economic growth by as much as a full percentage point in the second half of this year, according to a Congressional Budget Office assessment obtained by The Associated Press.
The CBO report said that Katrina's impact was likely to be "significant but not overwhelming" to the overall U.S. economy, especially if energy production along the Gulf Coast returns to pre-hurricane levels quickly.
"Last week, it appeared that larger economic impacts might occur, but despite continued uncertainty, progress in opening refineries and restarting pipelines now makes those larger impacts less likely," CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin said in a letter to congressional leaders.
The CBO assessment was in line with the predicted impact of Katrina being made by many private forecasters, who have also cautioned that the effects could be much worse if rising energy prices cause consumers to cut back on their spending.
The CBO report said that it expected economic growth in the second half of the year would be reduced by between 0.5 percentage point and 1 percentage point. It put total job losses at around 400,000.
CBO, the nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budget advice to Congress, said before Katrina struck the expectations were that the economy would grow at an annual rate of between 3 percent and 4 percent in the second half of the year with employment growing by 150,000 to 200,000 workers per month.
Already, federal cost estimates for relief and recovery efforts are running as high as $150 billion, adding another broader economic impact - a worsening deficit picture.
The White House, with considerable fanfare, announced in July a $94 billion improvement in the red-ink outlook for the current budget year. At that time, it promised that President Bush would easily fulfill his pledge to cut last's year's record deficit in half by the time he leaves office.
The White House budget office in July was predicting that the deficit for the budget year ending Sept. 30 would drop to $333 billion, $79 billion below last year's record, and that next year's deficit would be $341 billion. Now, both figures are rising fast as the government spends about $2 billion a day on the Katrina relief effort, all of which adds directly to the deficit.
Holtz-Eakin said in his letter to congressional leaders that the adverse impacts from Katrina should be concentrated in the second half of this year and he said that economic activity could receive a boost next year from rebuilding.
However, he cautioned that the positive impacts could take longer to be felt because rebuilding may take longer to get started this time around.
For all of 2005, CBO had been predicting that the economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, would grow by 3.7 percent this year and 3.4 percent in 2006. Holtz-Eakin said the impact of Katrina on these year-over-year estimates was likely to be smaller than the effects on growth in the third and fourth quarters of this year.
The CBO report said that the economy of Louisiana was about 1.2 percent of the U.S. economy and Mississippi was about 0.7 percent of the national economy. If half of that output were lost for three months - September through November - then it would lower total GDP for the country at an annualized rate of about 1.3 percentage points in the third quarter and 2.7 percentage points in the final three months of the year.
But the CBO said it was unlikely that production will be hurt by that much for that length of time.
"Presumably some people in New Orleans and other parts of the coast will be able to return to work in one or two months, and construction employment will be picking up during the fourth quarter," the CBO said. "Therefore, it is more likely that economic activity in the affected area would directly reduce the growth of GDP by less than 1 percent for both the third and fourth quarters."
The report said the main areas expected to experience "prolonged and substantial disruption of economic activity" are the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area of Louisiana and the Gulfport-Biloxi and Pascagoula area of Mississippi.
It predicted that employment for September will decline significantly with estimates ranging from a drop of 150,000 to as much as a loss of a half million jobs.
While workers involved in reconstruction and government workers will not be affected, the CBO said it was reasonable to expect that for many workers the rebound in employment would be gradual, an adverse impact that will be slightly offset by large-scale hiring of construction workers.
The CBO said preliminary estimates put insured losses from Katrina in excess of $30 billion, a figure that it compared to the $32.5 billion that insurers paid after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
As other forecasters have noted, the CBO said the economic impact on the rest of the United States will be primarily through higher energy costs, which will cut into consumer spending in other areas, and a reduction in shipping activity through the damaged New Orleans port facilities.

Despite claiming he does not believe in the birther conspiracy theory, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett has threatened to keep Obama off the state's general election ballot if he can't verify the president was born in Hawaii.
"I'm not a birther. I believe the president was born in Hawaii—or at least I hope he was," Bennett told KFYI radio host Mike Broomhead on Thursday. "But my responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure that the ballots in Arizona are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking."
Bennett, who is preparing to run for Arizona governor in 2014, claimed the move is not meant to appease birthers in the state ahead of that election.
Bennett said he has petitioned the state to verify the existence of Obama's long-form birth certificate, and that his request has gone unanswered for eight weeks. The White House released Obama's long-form birth certificate last year. Still, that doesn't seem to have satisfied the legion of conspiracy theorists who continue to believe the president was born elsewhere. —TEB
The Huffington Post:
Bennett's move is just the latest birther bustle in Arizona, which has been a hotbed for Obama eligibility conspiracy theories over the past few years. Clamor over a bill meant to address the issue was temporarily silenced last year when Gov. Jan Brewer (R) vetoed the measure, calling it "a bridge too far."
Birthers returned with a vengeance this year, however, first emerging with an "investigation" carried out by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who had determined that there was reasonable cause to believe that Obama's birth certificate was a forgery.
In the subsequent legislative session, a state GOP lawmaker reintroduced her failed birther bill.

Pro Evolution Soccer has long been a lunchtime favourite and with the series finally competing on all formats, this is going to be one to watch as it takes on EA's FIFA franchise.
While the PS3 version of PES has been grabbing all the attention (it's set to debut this month) it's the intriguing Wii version which has PES purists scratching their beards, wondering just what the series has in store.
While we had a first glimpse of Pro Evo 2008 on Wii at last week's Pro Evo finals in Seville, we also managed to have a word with Akiyoshi 'Greyhound' Chosogabe, producer of the Wii version. Trivia fans might like to know that he first cut his teeth on the Pro Evo Management title.
Before you go, don't forget to check out our exclusive news about the Classic Controller, where you'll also discover a splendid movie detailing PES Wii's intriguing new control method.
What's been the most challenging part about developing a version of PES for Wii?
Greyhound: It was challenging to create a brand new control system and the most difficult thing for me was having a brand new way of thinking. Of course all of the development team are core PES fans, but even some of the team didn't initially like the idea of a brand new control system. But I wanted to create a brand new PES.
We've only seen the game in the training mode, don't you think controlling several players at the same time in a real game could prove difficult?
Greyhound: I showed you an actual match in the trailer on the screen yesterday and I'm just using the training mode because time is very limited.
But it's not so difficult to use this control scheme in an actual match. I think players will easily get used to this control method, but I wanted to show the simple method and training is the easiest way to show this.
Would you say the Wii version is one for hardcore players? Wii is geared more towards casual players in Europe, is this the same in Japan?
Greyhound: In the beginning I wondered if we would have to create a casual game, because the Wii is a more of a casual player's machine. But I thought it would be boring if we create it as a more casual game. Therefore in the beginning I abandoned any plans to make this a more casual version and started to look for a brand new direction.
With Mario Strikers Charged Nintendo created the first online game for Wii in Europe. Did you ever consider including an online mode in Wii PES?
Greyhound: I'm still in research and development to have Wi-Fi functionality, but currently there are some issues to be solved before we have an online version of the game.
Did you ever consider controlling the game with your feet? Using the Wii-mote in that way? Using your foot to shoot for example?
Greyhound: In the beginning we had the idea of putting the Nunchuck controller on your boot and actually one of the team put it on his foot.
But it wasn't quite as interesting as we expected [laughs]. The guy who put the controller on his foot looked very awkward and it did not look like playing football at all. It looked like he had something wrong with his foot, so it was not a very successful experiment.
As well as the new control scheme, will you support the Classic Controller with this Wii version?
Greyhound: The base of this Wii version is the PS2 version, so technically it's possible to have classic control. But I'm focussing on creating a brand new game system so I don't have any plans to use the Classic Controller.

Oh hi there! Grab a cup of coffee and have some fun while surfing through my blog.
Many moons ago my family and I moved to Canada from Romania. I always enjoyed cooking and baking as a kid and I was always in the kitchen with my mother helping her out. That's where I learned how to make most Romanian dishes that you will find here. I'm not a trained chef, I just enjoy being in the kitchen and trying to cook new recipes. I try out all my recipes on my poor husband, who is quite a picky eater and has no choice but to try my food.
Through the development of this blog, I have discovered not only my passion for cooking but my passion for food photography. All the pictures you see here on jocooks.com have been taken by me and by my husband.
I wanted to create this blog to share my love for food with friends and family, because life should be delicious and there's nothing better in the world than cooking with friends and family and watching your loved ones faces light up as they enjoy your food. These are the recipes that my family and I have enjoyed over the years, so share them with your friends and family as you choose. Romanian food is not a very well known cuisine, so I hope to change that here and hopefully turn some foodies onto enjoying Romanian cuisine. Please leave your comments if you have tried any of the recipes and have enjoyed them, I love reading to see what people think.
Although I love my Romanian recipes, those are not the only recipes you will find on this blog. I love to try cuisines from all over the world, so here you will find a lot of different recipes, from healthy to really bad for you, from sweet to spicy or any of the above.
Occasionally, I will bore you with pictures of my dog, whom I love dearly and is just my best friend in the world. Her name is Mia and she is a 10 year old beagle, who is the cutest beagle in the world. She is the biggest fan of my cooking and will pretty much eat anything you put in her plate. She watches me cook every single time and awaits anxiously for
food bacon to make its way on the floor. You never have a dirty floor with her around, that's for sure. She's a great cleaner upper.
If you're looking for a recipe you may not find easily, please use the search bar in the top right hand corner or click on Recipe Index in the top menu.
Feel free to email me at info @ jocooks . com with any questions, or post a comment here or on any of the recipes.
If you love my recipes, feel free to use my images however you want. You do not need to email me for permission. The only thing I would appreciate back in return is to give me credit for any work of mine that you would use, and ideally, link back to the original.

He was gross. I'm not familiar with his work (only saw a few MadTV episodes), so I was surprised that his entire routine was lurid, graphic details of his depressing life, with an encore of him stripping to his underwear and coming down into the audience to grope strangers. I just felt sorry for him the whole time. His comedy alone would earn him three stars, but the fact that he rubbed his junk on my leg cost him a star. I'll skip it the next time he's in town.
The theater and theater employees were very nice and accommodating. I would definitely attend the venue again, just not the comedian.

STRIPPING to ugly underware was a desparte attempt to mask lack of talent... NOT FUNNY AT ALL
Bobby Lee is a Korean-American comedian. Discovered at a junior college in San Diego, he was then spotted by Pauly Shore, who asked him to open for him in Las Vegas. He was a long-time cast member on on MADtv. Among his recurring characters was the Average Asian, who grows increasingly aggravated at stereotypes of Asians, and an impersonation of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il. His most famous character, however, is Bae Sung, the Korean-Japanese-Chinese-American, who claims be multilingual, but in actuality speaks the "Dumb-ass language".

Thanks for your question, knic. If you cooked the veggies thoroughly in Step 3, then you don't need to cook them very long at all in the sauce. Some people like their veggies cooked down more than others, of course. If you're one of these people, it certainly wouldn't hurt to simmer them in the sauce for a bit longer. Thanks again for the question.

Oh. My. God. This looks absolutely delicious!! So happy to have found your blog, because you truly show that vegan meals don't have to be super complicated or call for impossible-to-find ingredients (seriously, some of them are harder to find than a bottle of tears of Jesus). I'm a pescetarian slowly transitioning into vegetarianism, so your blog will keep me inspired and motivated in the kitchen! :)
Do you happen to have a facebook page?

Woman Sues Airline For Turbulent Flight
POSTED: Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 3:34pm
UPDATED: Friday, October 14, 2011 - 11:58am
A Lubbock, Texas woman is suing Continental Airlines over a flight experience that made her fear for her life.
Colleen O'Neal says her 2009 flight from College Station to Houston was supposed to take 20 minutes. Instead, O'Neal says she experienced two and a half hours of extreme turbulence.
"I thought I was going to die, O'Neal said. "There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to die. Alarms were going off, the plane just kept dropping and it felt like we were falling in the sky."
O'Neal says she has been suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ever since. She's taking medication and seeing a therapist. O'Neal says she may never fly again.
She says she's suing because the airline failed to properly monitor weather conditions and put her life in danger. O'Neal says she doesn't want this to happen to anyone else.
Continental Airlines says they have not had a chance to review the lawsuit and have no comment at this time.
