In a rare trade secrets allegation, a 41-year-old former Tag Oil employee has pleaded not guilty to accessing a computer without authorisation.
Susan Hughes QC confirmed her New Plymouth-based client, who now works for rival company New Zealand Energy Corporation, appeared in court on Wednesday.
He will reappear on January 8.
Tag Oil complained to police earlier this year alleging the man had taken trade secrets.
However, instead of being charged under section 230 of the Crimes Act, police have used the less severe section 252.
The man faces a possible prison jail term of up to two years if found guilty of accessing a computer without authorisation.
Tag and NZEC are listed in Canada and the companies operate in Taranaki's fiercely-competitive oil and gas industry.

$25 million in deposits during Youth Savings Week
Across the country, 348 credit unions across the country helped nearly 170,000 kids save almost $25 million in the 2010 National Youth Savings challenge. Among the more impressive statistics is the fact that 10,385 kids opened new accounts. This year's results average out to $147 deposited per child. Last year's $26+ million savings total averaged $190 deposited per child, up from $87 per child in the 2004 inaugural year.
Among LSCU participating credit unions, Suncoast Schools CU led the way with 3,490 accounts, while Jax FCU accrued more than $400,000 in deposits. In all, four Florida credit unions, Suncoast, Jax, City County CU (Margate, FL), and Community Credit Union (Rockledge, FL) opened more than 800 new youth accounts and deposited more than $600,000 in savings accounts for kids.
"Get in the Savings Game" was the theme for the recently concluded National Credit Union Youth Week™ held April 18-24. Credit unions hosted lobby and off-site events, contests, tours, in-school presentations, and sports-themed giveaways. A web page illustrating activities by state will be posted on CUNA's web site in July.

Subaru Forester
kuperlen Posts: 2My brand new 2012 Outback also covered with micro-scratches all over car's body.
I picked it up at the dealer's last night and noticed the scratches in the garage. Scratches look as though my car was cleaned with something abrasive. Dealer Singer Subaru of New Hampshire claims that they did not use carwash while preparing my car for the delivery. They offered to polish the car for me free of charge next week. -
maybesubie1 Posts: 26I have had my 2011 Forester, non-turbo, for a little over 14 months and thought I would post a report. So far I'm very happy with the car. No mechanical problems. It pretty much has performed as expected. Not too big, drives fairly nice, and extremely versatile. Audio system is only fair, but I knew that would be the case and it's not a big deal to me. It does seem to pick up very light scratches easier than it should, but not too bad. Maybe they would show up more but my Forester is white. Interior has held up very well. I had been concerned about going from 6 cylinders to 4, but the power has seemed completely adequate. I think the little extra torque in the newer engine made a difference. The auto transmission is fine but not silky when it shifts, and it could use another gear, but again I knew that going in. I'm hoping what the tranny lacks in refinement it will make up for in reliability.
I'd say the only thing I'm not too happy with is the mileage. Getting right around 21.5 mpg even though most miles are highway and I am very light on the throttle. I really like having Subaru AWD and new it wouldn't be a high-mpg car, but the way I drive I'm really surprised to be getting close to the bottom of the expected mpg range. I will post more about that in the mpg thread.
All in all, I'm really happy w/ the Forester. For the price, I still think it was one of the best values available, which was really important to me.

The Best in Holiday 2012 Gift Finds is an ongoing series until December that celebrates the practical to the extravagant, the unusual to the commonly needed items of everyday life.
From food, wine and spirits to beauty, clothing and even home goods and appliances, we have been trying and testing and ultimately weeding out the good stuff you should consider for giving this holiday season. Take us shopping with you.
American micro bakery Isabellas Cookie Company will deliver fantastic baked goods that beat the biggies - like Harry & David - hands down for flavor and presentation.
Two of my favorite flavors - Chocolate and Ginger - get the Holiday treatment.
These are American-made treats that are packaged with love and originality, and are a great food gift to consider that is also reasonable in price. (Under $8)
California baker Isabella's cookie company offer vegan options and they use the finest ingredients - like organic real butter, sweet vanilla, and the best quality chocolate, coconut and peanut butter - in every batch to produce 1/3 pound cookie bags.
What you do NOT get are artificial ingredients or preservatives, they only have a fourteen day shelf life before they begin to lose their freshness, and can be frozen or kept in the fridge to prolong shelf life.
Trust me - they won't last that long.
My picks for gifts include the Abominable Snowball is a chocolate-ty cookie with coconut shavings sprinkled on top. Dense like a truffle and texturally rewarding, moist and loaded with real chocolate chunks.
The winner at my house was the Little Baby Ginger, a soft chewy gingerbread cookie topped with vanilla icing, akin to a Hermit bar.
Established in 2001, Isabellas Cookie Company has delivered delicious gifts made with meticulous attention to detail. The cookies are available to order online, on the phone, or in retail outlets such as Whole Foods and locally (Southern California)at Gelsons Market.
For more information on Isabellas Cookie Company, please visit www.isabellascookies.com.

My first cross of Chico x PapExStasy started out looking good. I had 5 pods and I got loads of small seeds but after soaking, they all were streaked with red. It got worse, the seedlings just started to turn to mush. I threw the last of them away a few weeks ago. My second attempt fared much better. Both papilio seedpods opened to a good number of healthy seeds although the pap x Chico cross had a good number of pock marked seeds. The pap xTango/frozen Ruby Star pollen cross produced a greater number of good seeds. Both crosses are germinating with fat healthy seedlings. Good size, no red, and no mush. Most all of the Tango/Ruby Star seedlings that I soaked germinated almost as soon as they hit the water so I think this must be a vigirous cross. The Chico cross germinated well also but not as quickly and not as many as the other. I have lost all attempts on Sweet Lilian and there were many..and all attempts on Pink Diamond bit the dust too. I have lost too many more to mention but it's still going to be a good year. I am sitting here staring at 4 large pods on Sumatra (which selfed themselves) and I don't really want to grow them on so when they ripen if anyone would like some just let me know. There will be others that I will offer up too. I think I am going to have lots of seeds to give away again this season. Here are the self selfed Sumatra pods: I do have several other papilio crosses that also took using papilio as the pollinator! Donna |
Follow-Up Postings:
Donna, what do you do with the rooted seedlings that fall to the bottom? I am tempted to just leave mine, but I know bad seeds sink, so am a little perplexed by the rooted ones that sink. Those Sumatra pods look good. Hope you'll keep some as you might get some interesting cybister offspring based on whatever went into Sumatra. |
I've had bad seeds float too. I'll just leave them where they are and keep my eye on them and if they progress to the point where they grow a leaf the I'll just plant with the others. I find that the ones with a root that sink, seem to be coming out of the seed sort of twisted. But other than that I expect that they will be fine. I really don't know why some sink like that. I'll keep a small amount of the Sumatra seeds but at this point since it's not a cross I actually wanted I just can't grow everything on, I've already run out of space! They'll be good for others to experiment with....Donna |

Hi Donna, I would love some Sumatra seeds. I'll Pm you later to see if I have any you might want. Mike |
OK Mike, I should have a slew of them if all goes right. I'll let you all know when they have "hatched". Donna |
Very exciting. Good luck with the Chico - one I've never had any success with, and now my last remaining bulb of this type has died. Interesting with the Sunmatra self cross - might try that too |
Hi Donna I'd love some, if you have any left? I'll pay postage too as I live in Australia. thanks Heather |
Hi Heather, My Sumatra seeds were so old (and I hadn't kept them in the fridge) that I finally disposed of them. I gave many away but with all those pods I had way too many. Next year if you're interested, I'll make some cybister crosses on Sumatra and will be glad to share some seeds with you. When my Sumatra blooms again I'll post and hopefully you'll see it.Tune in again next late winter and you'll see that several of us have extra seeds we are willing to share... |

1 review for Help for Bullied Targets from WBI: The 1.5 hr. DVD
Overall, I was very pleased with the DVD, and I commend you for taking the time to make it. It does an excellent job of telling targets that they are not at fault and reassuring targets that there are indeed resources available to help you. I found the section on explaining the basics of mental health counseling and the legal world enormously helpful as these are areas that most targets will probably not know about. The interview of Mrs. Hernandez was especially telling and is a highlight of the video.

Songpyeon is a Korean traditional rice cake to eat on Chuseok, which is celebration of the year's good harvest. Traditionally it's made with the rice of the first harvest of the year. Chuseok is August 15 by the lunar calendar, which is usually in the middle of September by the solar calendar. This year it's September 14th.
Frozen rice flour, salt, water, sesame seeds, sesame oil, dried and skinned mung beans, brown sugar, white sugar, pine needles, mugwort powder (ssook garu in Korean), strawberry Jell-o powder.
Make the dough:
- Prepare a package of rice powder (2 lbs) usually sold frozen at a Korean grocery store. Just before using it, you must thaw it until the powder is at room temperature.
- Put rice powder through a sifter to make the powder fine.Tip: If your rice powder is very fine, you can skip sifting. If your rice powder is coarse, you may have to grind it with a food processor or coffee grinder before sifting.
- Prepare 3 stainless bowls and put 1 cup of finely sifted rice powder into the each bowl. (Bowl A, B, and C)
- Boil 2 cups of water for your rice dough.
- Bowl A (white songpyeon): add a pinch of salt and 3 tbs of boiling water and mix it with a wooden spoon. (it'll be too hot if you use your hands at first) Knead the rice dough for about 5 minutes. Put the dough into a plastic bag and set it aside.
- Bowl B (pink songpyeon): add a pinch of salt, a pinch of strawberry Jell-o powder, and 3 tbs of boiling water. Mix it with a wooden spoon and knead the rice dough for about 5 minutes. Put the dough into a plastic bag and set it aside.
- Bowl C (green songpyeon): add a pinch of salt, 1 ts of ssookgaru (mugwort power) and 3.5 tbs boiling water. Mix it with a wooden spoon and knead the rice dough for about 5 minutes. Put the dough into a plastic bag and set it aside.Tip: You will need to add 3.5 tbs of water because of the 1 ts of ssookgaru.
Make the filling:
Roasted sesame seeds powder filling:
- Grind ¼ cup of roasted sesame seeds using a coffee grinder for 15-20 seconds.
- Transfer the ground sesame powder into a small bowl and mix it with ¼ cup of brown sugar and a pinch of salt.Tip: if you grind too long, the powder will become sticky from the oil in the seeds.
Mung bean powder filling:
- Wash and drain ¼ cup of dried and skinned mung beans and put them in a pot with a thick bottom.
- Add ¼ cup of water and a pinch of salt to the pot and simmer it for 30 minutes.Tip: Be sure not to burn it – simmer over the lowest heat.
- Open the pot and use your wooden spoon to crush the beans into fine powder.Tip: if you make more than ¼ cup of mung bean powder, you may have to use your grinder or food processor to grind it finely.
- Transfer the crushed mung bean powder into a small bowl or container and wait until it cools down.
- Add ¼ cup of white sugar and mix it. That's it!
Let's make songpyeon now!
- Break off a piece of rice dough about 1 inch in diameter and roll it between your palms to make a rice ball. Then press your thumb in the center of the ball to make it shaped like a cup.
- Fill the cup with either sesame filling or mung bean filling using a small spoon, and seal it using your thumb and index fingers.
- Place all the raw rice cakes (songpyeon) on a plate.
- Wash your pine needles thoroughly with a little dish soap. Towel dry them.
- Put some water (4 cups) into a steamer and boil it. When it starts boiling, place a damp cotton cloth on the bottom of the steamer tray.
- Make a bed of pine needles on the wet cloth and put the raw songpyeon on top. Put more pine needles on top of the songpyeon, too.Tip: Pine needles stop the songpyeon from sticking together and give them a good flavor.
- Steam it for 25 minutes over medium high heat.
- Prepare some cold water in a large bowl, and drop in a little sesame oil.
- Dump your steamed songpyeon into to the cold water and quickly remove pine needles. Take them out, put them on a plate to serve.
Enjoy your songpyeon and happy Chuseok!

Fighting Gun Crime From the NYS Assembly • Sheldon Silver, Speaker Joseph R. Lentol, Chair, Codes Committee |
Assembly passes tough legislation to crack down on illegal gun trafficking and law enforcement officers Legislation targeting the sources of illegal guns is still needed |
The simple fact is this: every illegal gun began as a legally manufactured firearm. According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, roughly 57 percent of illegal guns nationwide are traced back to 1.2 percent of licensed gun dealers. This small fraction of gun dealers feeds off the misery of street violence and casts a shadow over responsible gun owners. The Assembly has repeatedly fought for stricter monitoring of gun dealers to ensure that firearms stay out of the hands of violent criminals.
The Assembly comprehensive proposal (A.2345) would prevent "straw buyers" from purchasing guns that are then sold to criminals. The measure would require gun dealers to follow a few simple precautions such as training employees in how to recognize straw purchases and requiring them to cooperate with the police during investigations of violent crimes. Sadly, the Senate and governor, bowing to pressure from the radical gun lobby, have refused to the follow the Assembly's lead.
During the past six years, the National Rifle Association has contributed more than $50,000 to majority Senators - 80 percent of whom receive an "A" rating from the NRA. It's no wonder they have time and time again blocked common-sense measures to crack down on gun violence. They even went so far as to block legislation (A.2837) banning exploding, frangible and armor piercing "cop-killer" bullets that can penetrate a police officer's bullet-proof vest. The Senate also blocked legislation (A.2466-A) that would keep police from being out gunned by banning military-style assault weapons, which are responsible for one in five officers killed in the line of duty from 1998-2001. The Senate blocked these measures despite the fact that both were endorsed by 143 police and sheriff's departments across the state. |
Fighting Gun Crime
Other measures the Senate has failed to even allow a vote on include:
Gun violence is something that must be addressed on a federal level as well. Ineffective laws in other states create loopholes through which illegal gun runners are able to legally purchase guns in other states for clandestine resale in New York. In New York City alone, 92 percent of illegal handguns were traced to out-of-state sources. |
Consider that while you have to register automobile transactions, 43 states allow under-the-table arms dealing. Unfortunately, the current patchwork of state laws and federal inaction ensures our streets will continue to be flooded by illegal firearms.
The legislation the Assembly passed during December's Extraordinary Session closed the front door on illegal guns by increasing penalties on criminal gun traffickers. But sadly, the governor's and Senate's blind devotion to the radical gun lobby has left the back door wide open. The Assembly is committed to pursuing a comprehensive approach that combines stiff penalties with measures that keep guns out of criminal hands - before they have the chance to destroy lives. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Hugo!
Facts about Hugo
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Husky Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Hugo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hugo was born in Dec of 2012. He is a good puppy that would fit in well with any family. His adoption fee is 400..For more info or an application please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 828 433 1115 and ask for Teddi. Please be sure to read our shelters info page to better understand our adoption process.
Other Pets at Friends for Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hugo, a Hagerstown German Shepherd Dog/Husky puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Husky for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Husky puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Husky breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

I contacted the manufacturer of my patio set for some touch up paint. They sent me two cans - one is a base brown color and the second is a highlight color that sortof adds tiny orange bits to the paint.
There were no instructions with the spray cans. I want to touch up areas that have rusted. How best to do this? I'm thinking I need to scrape the rust off with a metal brush and then prime with a rust inhibitor or just go ahead and paint with the spray paint they sent? Thanks for your help. Want to make sure I do this right! |

Sorry that you have not had a more prompt reply Carole, you may have already done your painting. Yeah, I would brush or sand the rust off, rustoleum puts out some good rust inhibiting paints and primers and you can find it at most big box stores. Do that, let it dry then spray your metal flake or what ever matches your original paint. Make it several light coats rather than trying to cover it all at once, that will help keep it from building up an running. Bill P. |

'Ye and G.O.O.D. Music are preparing to force the rap game to tuck their whole summer in with the highly-anticipated compilation album, Cruel Summer. The ensemble effort, which features Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Q-Tip, Kid Cudi, and Q-Tip among others, is slated for release on September 4.
The temperatures will be easing into the chiller fall season by release date. But Common and the crew are already wreaking havoc on the streets with the anthem, Mercy, among other hits.
The whole hit squad – sans Kanye, who is adhering to his own "no press" policy – assembled together for an interview with Complex magazine for their August/September issue.
Get prepared for a G.O.O.D. domination! Here are some of the highlights:
On what G.O.O.D. Music Means:
Big Sean: Quality—the best … We dress the best, we rap the best, we sing the best, we look the best.
Pusha T: …The fans get so much, in fucking with this brand. From G.O.O.D. Fridays to these 30-minute movies in the Middle East…
Kid Cudi: —made on a whim.
On Bonding:
Cudi: With all due respect to what these guys said, I think we're missing the main point, which is that we represent honesty, in all aspects. Ain't nobody fake. Ain't nobody phony. Niggas are who they are. Everybody is who they are around each other. We're real. I'm not in other crews. I don't know how other niggas live, but I know right here that's one of the main things we represent: honesty and realness. You can just hear it in the music. This ain't no cookie-cutter shit.
On Kanye's Influence:
Q-Tip: One thing that we all have in common, Kanye included, is that we all want to be great. We all have that drive. Kanye channels it—he's the nucleus. But at the same time, it's collaborative. He's open to whatever it is. If there's pressure, it's just to do outstanding shit. And that's more of a drive than a pressure.
On 2-Chainz Affiliation with G.O.O.D.:
I'm not officially signed, paperwork-wise, to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with 'Ye. He called me before Watch the Throne came out. I'm an only child. I've got trust issues. So I don't have a best friend, a brother, sister—nothing. Stuff was happening in my life that I couldn't tell nobody. I didn't have anybody in my life that I could tell, like, "'Ye just called me."
I've talked to 'Ye 1,000 times about trying to make this situation work for the both of us, so it won't feel like anyone is getting used or anything. I'm in a position in life where I like talking about things like that. I came from a situation with DTP, being under Luda, where I got a phobia. Sometimes when an artist signs another artist, they're so worried about themselves. And with 'Ye, he helps everybody.

The goals of the instructors at Intensity Dancers' Studio go far beyond dance—the team aspires to help their students become well-rounded individuals as they grow. That can even be seen by the number of students using their talents outside the studio, with some competing on teams at the national level. Children can participate in lessons that cover classic or modern dance styles at the school, where ballet gets equal billing with hip-hop and acrobatics options. As dancers progress, they not only learn proper technique and execution, but how to cultivate discipline and self-confidence, tools intended to help them success off the dance floor too.
Studio owner, mother of three, and passionate polecat, Annia Vazquez, encourages women to tap into their inner minx during pole-dancing and flirty-fitness classes. The studio takes pole dancing—once strictly a means of determining the next fire chief—and turns it into a full-body workout that incorporates core work, conditioning exercises, and sultry dance moves. Students can explore some of the other seductive arts during exotic belly-dancing lessons or courses that combine Vaudeville-style and modern burlesque. Classes keep comfortable with a maximum of 16 students, giving instructors enough time to dole out personalized tips to help newbies transform into veteran vixens.
In 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans.
Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.
For 17 years, Flamingo Gardens has gathered plant experts, landscapers, and other gardening connoisseurs to its annual festival. This year, the Broward Bonsai Society joins in the fun with an exhibition of the varied shapes and levels of perfection its miniature trees can hold. Displays from Alexander Farms, Greenhouse Orchids, and other vendors entice the eyes while guests wander about, taking in colorful performances from butterfly stilt-walkers and West African drummers. At the Butterfly Encounter, guests learn lepidopterist lore from expert Mike Rich while feeding live butterflies and teaching them about the updated food pyramid.
Wee ones, meanwhile, can head to the Kids Gardening Zone to decorate their own pots and plant a seed or romp through the gardens on a scavenger hunt. Plant experts also hold classes and demonstrations, including "Mounting Orchids & Basic Orchid Culture," and take guests on guided tours through the botanical gardens.
Segway Fort Lauderdale owner Johnathan Rosen views Segways as about as simple to get the hang of as walking (he's seen clients ages 5 to 92 master them). On these jaunts of Fort Lauderdale, groups roll through scenic areas, visit piers, and take optional jaunts down back alleys. There, they can try out their Segways' top speed?roughly 12.5 mph, about as fast as a cheetah wearing substantial ankle weights. As participants roll along, guides can share tidbits about the comings and goings of area celebrities in the area and the Segway's history. There's also plenty of time for participants to talk amongst themselves while a company photographer snaps complimentary action shots.

Vince Cable has taken to the pages of the FT to brief against Thresesa May and Iain Duncan Smith:
An ally of Mr Cable said: "Vince really wants to come forward with a good package for business this autumn but we want to see other departments putting their weight behind these efforts. They need to bring something to the table."
His line is that they do not realise how serious the growth situation is, however Vince might want to make sure his own department is in order before he whispers into hacks ears. Guido understands that some officials at Business Innovation and Skills are none too happy with the drop in stature their department has had since the old man took over from Mandy. Although he had his faults, they feel Prince of Darkness made the department's presence felt in every nook and cranny of Whitehall. They are moaning at a lack of "kudos" these days and gently remind the Minister in charge of growth that it's going to require more than just sniping against others for not cutting enough red tape…

If you like to see Montana represented in the NFL — and who doesn't? — the NFL draft is a good place to start. This year's draft is next weekend, and a couple more Grizzlies have a good chance of hearing their name called sometime Saturday.
The first round is scheduled for Thursday night, the second and third rounds are Friday, and the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds are Saturday.
The highest-ranked prospect from Montana, according to national pundits, is UM linebacker Jordan Tripp.
NFL.com projects Tripp to come off the draft board somewhere in the fifth or sixth round. Gil Brandt, who was part of the Dallas Cowboys' front office for many years and now contributes to NFL.com, thinks more highly of Tripp, ranking him the 125th best player in the draft.
"Tripp has a chance to be a late third-round draft choice," Brandt wrote after the Grizzlies' pro day in March.
The biggest knock on the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Tripp has been his short arms (NFL draft prospects get scrutinized down to the smallest details), but it seems most see him carving out an NFL career.
From ESPN.com's profile on Tripp (paid content): "Overachiever with great work ethic and passion. Elite football character and intelligence. Exemplary leader. You want this guy in your locker room."
Tripp's running mate at Montana could also get selected during next weekend's draft. Brock Coyle is ranked the No. 10 inside linebacker by ESPN.com, and NFL.com projects him to be drafted in the sixth or seventh round.
Brandt called Coyle "a true rags-to-riches story, having gone from a prospect who might not have even received a rookie free-agent contract to a possible sixth- or seventh-round draft pick" after an impressive showing at the Montana pro day.
Coyle, listed at 6-1, 235 pounds, posted good times in the 40-yard dash and an eye-opening 37-inch vertical.
From NFL.com: "Has the physical traits to excel in special-teams coverage and could emerge as a solid role player in time. Possesses the personal and football character to carry him to a steady NFL career."
"The football tradition at Montana is really quite special," Brandt wrote, noting the Grizzlies have had multiple players selected in 11 different drafts. The most recent time that occurred was 2012 when cornerback Trumaine Johnson (third round by the St. Louis Rams) and linebacker Caleb McSurdy (seventh round by the Cowboys) were both drafted.
With the buzz Tripp and Coyle are generating this season, the 12th time could just be a few days away.
Other players with Montana ties who could be drafted or signed as undrafted free agents:
Danny Kistler Jr., OT, Montana
Kjelby Oiland, OC, Montana
William Poehls, OG, Montana
DeNarius McGhee, QB, Montana State
Tanner Bleskin, WR, Montana State
Preston Gale, DL, Montana State
Ryan Jones, OLB, Montana Tech

Little Dog and Big Dog, robots to experiment locomotion and transport
Little Dog is a project of MIT to learn the locomotion of robots, a project that gives results quite convincing.
Little Dog
It is not a loving companion, the Little Dog, it is more like a beetle, but his sense of balance is perfect, it can stand on two legs at a time. This allows him to climb stairs, traverse rough terrain and as shown on the video, move with precision on close blocks.
Video of Little Dog walking on pins (March 2010):
Little dog is able to "jump", so to speak, but he has a big reception problem as seen on this other video.
More information
The Little Dog project or more generally, the proposed learning locomotion. It is run by the MIT CSAIL in conjunction with DARPA.
The DARPA locomotion project is also developing Big Dog.
Big Dog
The first robots to go on the ground in war are quadrupeds whose role is limited to transportation.
Bigdog, manufactured by Boston Dynamics is controlled by a computer that fits extremely responsive to ground motion as the thrust so that the robot falls almost never.
It can move at the speed of 6km/h and climb slopes of 35 °.
The U.S. military in Afghanistan also sent helicopters without pilots.

Lunch & Dinner Mon.-Sat.Features

- Great Wine List

* Click here for rating key
Postino Restaurant Review: Housed in the former Arcadia post office, Postino has the chic but cozy good looks of a Crate & Barrel ad. This friendly wine bar (still outfitted with massive sliding doors from its postal incarnation) has everything going for it: a short but sophisticated wine list, wine-friendly snacks and the kind of comfortable atmosphere that encourages lingering over a heart-felt conversation and a bottle of something elegant. Only a few people drop by for sandwiches, soups and salads at lunch, but by 5 p.m., the place is filling up with an after-work crowd, there for wines-by-the-glass and a memorable selection of bruschetta (try the prosciutto with figs and mascarpone). Get there early and you can grab a velvet-upholstered couch or chair near the sliding doors, which are always up in good weather. Sheer heaven. |

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 2013 — Landon Donovan did it last week, this weekend it was Robbie Keane's turn.
Just a week after Donovan notched a hat trick in a 3-3 tie with FC Dallas and won the league's weekly honors, Keane scored a hat trick as the Galaxy came from behind to down Real Salt Lake 4-2 on Saturday. For his efforts, Keane was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters for week 25 of the 2013 MLS season.
SEE RELATED: Landon Donovan nears MLS all-time scoring record
This was Keane's second MLS career hat trick and it helped move the LA outfit just four points behind first-place Real Salt Lake. Keane, who is Ireland's all-time leading goal scorer with 59 goals in 127 games, took his tally to ten goals this season in just 14 games.
Keane scored his first goal of the night to level the match 1-1 in the 56th minute after he fired a low shot into the corner of the net. He added his second in the 67th minute converting a cross from Sean Franklin.
The 33-year old Irishman completed his hat trick in the 86th minute when he chipped the ball over the on-rushing Real Salt Lake goalie Nick Rimando.
The LA Galaxy are back in action tomorrow, Aug. 20 when they host the Costa Rican side Cartaginés in the CONCACAF Champions League (10:00 p.m. ET)
John Haydon wrote a weekly soccer column for The Washington Times for 20 years. He has covered two World Cups and written about Major League Soccer from the league's inception in 1996.

OK - I waited a good 5 years for this plant to grow up from a teensy weensy band. It has survived reasonably well in less than ideal conditions, but it only just bloomed this last year. Turns out it isn't Eglantyne at all, since there isn't the vaguest hint of pink in the blooms at any time of year. (The pinkish bloom in the background is Heaven on Earth, not this bush) It's in part shade and this was taken in cool June temperatures, so I'm reasonably sure this is the real color. My guess would be one of the white Austins, and it has that old rose smell that many of the Austins have, but not a strong fragrance to my nose. I realize it's hard to distinguish between them, but any opinions about which white Austin this might be? It's got some of the yellowish tints of Teasing Georgia, but that rose happens to be planted just behind this one and the blooms are substantially different side by side. Besides, there's no way Teasing Georgia could ever be a teensy rose at any age - she's a monster for me. Even at 5 years old, this bush of question is barely knee-high. Any other guesses? Cynthia |

Could it be Tranquility? Or even Glamis Castle? Just wild guesses here. |
Not Glamis, that doesn't have any yellow in it. Crocus Rose? |
- Posted by mendocino_rose z8 N CA. (My Page) on Sat, May 31, 14 at 8:11
Eglantyne has a sport. I found it on mine years ago and called it Wilde Rose. That is what this looks like. It's not in commerce. It could be that the cutting was taken from a sporting branch. |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 0:49
How cool - an uncommon sport of Eglantyne that isn't even marketed? If that's the case, I'd be totally thrilled. Does your sport have the supposedly intense fragrance of Eglantyne still? This rose has a nice fragrance as I recall, but nothing of the toe-curling wonderfulness of Sharifa Asma or even William Shakespeare 2000 for me. If that's what this is, you've solved two rose mysteries for me, Mendocino Rose, in totally intriguing ways! I don't think this is Crocus Rose, though the color is right I agree. That is blooming right now for me, and the shape is much higher in the center without that open peony look that this one has. Thanks for the idea anyway, as for the suggestions of Tranquility and Glamis Castle. Tranquility has that blush pink to it that I'm missing in this Not Eglantyne, and Glamis Castle has pointier petals as well as a purer white bloom. I don't have Winchester Cathedral, but the same pure white seems to apply to that one too. If you happen to have a photo of your Wilde Rose, I'd love to see it to see if that's the case. I'll happily carry on your chosen name for this one, and we'll see if it's a stable sport if that's the case for my rose. Cynthia |
- Posted by mendocino_rose z8 N CA. (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 8:51
No it doesn't have a great fragrance, just a nice one. When I found the sport I talked to a man in Australia who had it on his Eglantyne. He had actually contacted Austin roses to see if they were interested. They weren't. I have two plants raised from cuttings that have remained stable. I'd be so pleased if you labeled yours with the name I gave it. I don't have a photo right now. There's one somewhere on an external hard drive. The plant is between flushes. I will try to remember and post one when I can. |
- Posted by ArbutusOmnedo 10/24 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 15:34
English Garden perhaps? The last time I saw it, it was much closer to the color of your bloom than apricot and it is alphabetically right next to Eglantyne in the Austin section at Heirloom. If there was a mistake made, I could see that being the explanation. English Garden is also said to be a wimpy grower which could explain why it took so long to bloom and why it hasn't really taken off in all this time. Jay |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 18:22
Jay - thanks for the additional prospect. I checked hmf and the color is definitely in the right camp, but it seems that English Garden has notably pointed petals in the center while these have a distinct notch in the middle, at least in the outer petals. You are absolutely right about the alphabetical error as well as this plant being from Heirloom (it was a very small band from the "old days" at Heirloom that are fortunately very much improved). Mendocino rose, I looked up Eglantyne again and the petals do seem right for that rose shape, and the "nice" fragrance is a good match too. I'd be honored to pass on your chosen name, and I'll pass on a photo one of these days with its tag if I can catch it blooming this year. I guess I'm not surprised that Austin Roses wouldn't be interested in the sport if they didn't create it, since they seem to be pretty inward looking as a company. Still, if no one is selling it, there's no restrictions on naming it or sharing cuttings I presume. Cynthia |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Sat, Jun 7, 14 at 16:19
All right, the saga and mystery deepens. After this discussion, I went out to check on Wilde Rose (aka Not Eglantyne) this spring as things were starting to bloom. What I found, and I had to double check it many times, was the picture below. What on earth? Normally, when I see a dark red rose replacing any other rose, I'd assume it was Dr. Huey. However this rose, and everything else in this bed, is an own root rose. I've never planted grafted roses in this bed, since it's my zone 4 pocket and even hardy own root shrub roses have to be tough puppies to survive here. In fact, when this rose arrived from the "old" Heirloom, in the days when bands were small (drastically improved now), this band was so small that any graft would have swamped the whole bush. It took 5 years just to grow to blooming size. So, any idea what's going on? My other thought was a sucker from a nearby rose, but the only two roses in the bed that are that color are Hope for Humanity and Ramblin' Red. Both are blooming now and a much redder red than this one, that has a distinctly purple cast (not as apparent in the photo). Besides, this rose I remember had surviving cane from last year, like many of my Austins, so whatever canes there are were the ones that bloomed with the white flowers you see above. It's a puzzle, and I'd love any help. It's a dark enough purple with enough petals to be plausibly another Austin sport, but the thought that one plant could be one white Austin sport one year and an entirely different dark red/purple sport next year isn't remotely plausible. It's a nice rose and all, but I was really looking forward to being one of the only other growers of Wilde rose. Thoroughly confused Cynthia |
- Posted by Kippy-the-Hippy 10 Sunset 24 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 7, 14 at 17:06
That is very pretty and does not look like the doc at all to me. Wonder if you have a seedling there? Or if there was some bit of trimming from some where that decided to root? |
The color looks too bright and too many petals to be the Doctor. You really do have a mystery there! |
I suspect a Red Dye #40 spill nearby. I am curious about the light-colored bud in the bottom left corner, though. Is that the same plant? |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 14 at 20:24
I thought the same thing too, vmr423, so I went back out and checked after I saw the photo enlarged. Turns out it was a draping branch of Teasing Georgia from a foot or two behind, which was lying on the ground with the uncharacteristic rain we've had. The seedling or trimming idea is the most plausible I guess, but you'd think it would look more like something else in the same bed then. Besides, I just KNOW it was this set of cane that I've been watching for 5 years and that had the white blooms above last year. Maybe it's aliens. Though why they'd pick on Not Eglantyne our of all of my roses would be an equal puzzle. Ah well, at least it's a pretty rose. Cynthia |
A trimming should look the same, but a seedling could look quite different, no? There are some camellias that are fairly unstable, and will look quite different from year to year, or they'll often have flowers of different colors and/or shapes at the same time. Roses don't seem to do this much- the only rose I can think of that does is 'Fernande Krier', although most roses are tested for stability before they're registered, so it may be more common amongst unregistered roses? It's an interesting puzzle- perhaps some rose breeders have a suggestion or two about what may be going on? |

[1032] The Expression of GPR 30, a G Protein-Coupled Receptor, in Prostate Cancer
M Zhang, HM Lam, MQ Yu, JH Wang, B Ouyang, S Jain, G Daniels, V Reuter, A Gopalan, I Osman, P Lee, SM Ho. New York Univeristy School of Medicine, New York, NY; University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH; Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
Background: The role of estrogen and its receptors in prostate cancer has now been recognized. There are distinct expressions and functions of estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ in prostate cancer epithelial cells and in tumor associated stromal cells. In this study, we determined the expression of G protein-coupled receptor for E2, GPR30. Our group demonstrated that GPR30 was down-regulated in prostate cancer when compared to the normal tissue by RT-PCR, which is in concordance with the public microarray database Oncomine. Herein we examined the expression of GPR30 protein in prostate cancer in relation to clinicopathological features.
Design: Immunohistochemistry was performed using antibody against GPR30 to characterize its expression pattern in prostate cancer to compare GPR30 levels in prostate cancer with adjacent benign prostate using tissue microarray (TMA) (n= 199), to correlate with various clinocopathological parameters. The levels of GRP30 expression, membranous, cytoplasmic or stromal stain, were scored semi-quantitatively; 0: negative, 1+: weak, 2+: moderate and 3+: strong expression.
Results: We observed distinct patterns of GPR30 expression for membranous and cytoplasmic stain in cancer epithelial cells, as well as stromal cells. The membranous stain is decreased in cancer cells in 40 of 190 (21%) cancer cases compared to 29 of 69 (42%) cases in benign prostate. When correlated with clinicopathological parameters, the level of GPR30 expression in the membrane of tumor cells was significantly lower in prostate cancer with advanced tumor grade and stages (p<0.05). Strikingly, the stromal GPR30 expression is significantly decreased in cancer from 68 of 69 benign cases (98.5%) to 19 of 190 (10%) of cancer cases with an average 19% cells in benign stromal cells and 4% in cancer stromal cells (p<0.05). These results correlated with the growth inhibitory effect of GPR30 on prostate cancer cells.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates significant down-regulation of GPR30 expression in the membrane of cancer epithelial cells and stroma of prostate cancer. These results strongly suggest a role of GPR30 in high grade and advanced stage prostate cancer.

Identity consolidation and privileged access management across Windows, Linux, and UNIX

Every major compliance regulation requires organizations to link access controls, role-based privileges, and user activity to named users. In cross-platform environments, establishing this accountability is a complex task given the existence of multiple identity silos such as NIS and LDAP databases, platform-specific proprietary directories, and local config files managed system by system.
Centrify addresses these IT security and compliance requirements with a unified identity management solution: a single, integrated architecture for authentication, access control, privilege management, policy enforcement and compliance. See the topics below for details on how Centrify's unified approaches addresses specific compliance regulations.

Learn about Centrify's solutions for smart card authentication, NISPOM, FIPS 140-2 compliance, and more. |
IT security managers in federal agencies face increasingly complex challenges in securing and managing information systems that span Windows, Linux, UNIX and Mac platforms. While Active Directory serves as the single, central hub for managing Windows workstations and servers, many Linux and UNIX deployments have evolved in their own silos, each managed through separate identity stores and administrative processes. A growing number of Mac workstations are also entering the mix, introducing another layer of complexity. In addition, access to these diverse systems must be managed across a workforce that contains a mix of permanent and temporary employees, vendors and contractors.
With the passage of the Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA) in 2002, federal IT security managers - and the vendors and consultants who work for them - have been tasked with addressing loose practices around access control, privilege management, accountability and auditing in particular. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued Special Publication 800-53 to provide guidance on complying with FISMA. While NIST SP 800-53 divides FISMA compliance into a wide range of issues, from physical security to training to IT auditing, four of its 17 sections are of specific interest to federal IT security managers. (See our FISMA white paper and on-demand webinar for a comprehensive examination of these issues.)
At a high level, however, the most essential requirements are to:
In addition, the Office of Management and Budget continues to push federal IT departments toward commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) procurement in order to reduce costs, promote standardization, and eliminate standalone solutions.
Centrify's FISMA solution simplifies and streamlines your IT infrastructure by centralizing identity and access management for Linux, UNIX and Mac systems and applications within Microsoft Active Directory. The Centrify Suite does this while addressing FISMA's essential identity and access management requirements to:
In addition, leveraging a ubiquitous platform like Active Directory helps you contain costs and eases the task of standardizing identity and access management processes across agencies and vendors.

The Darkness
Stuffed into a sleeveless leather American flag suit and bearded like Captain Jack Sparrow's crazier uncle, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness provided more than half of the spectacle all by his onesie. The first note of the night was a high one, somehow sustained throughout the extensive falsetto sections of all 21 songs he, his brother and their band would amp up and crank out throughout a two-hour spectacle.

11. How to stagger an enemy
Power melee attacks (hold the attack button) will often stagger enemies - especially if you've invested perk points in one and two-handed combat.
You can also stagger an enemy by using the Unrelenting Force shout, the first one you get in the game. This also has the bonus effect of interrupting a mage's casting, leaving him helpless against the fury of your sword.
Another way to stagger foes is to dual-cast impact spells like firebolt. The charged-up blast of power will make your enemy fall to their knees.
12. How to keep your companion alive
When your companion's health reaches its lowest point, they'll go into 'stagger' mode and fall to their knees. The instant this happens, all enemies attacking them will switch their attention to you. This means that the only thing that will finish your partner off is splash damage from spells, or a badly-aimed arrow.
If your partner is staggered and you're fighting mages, draw them away. Getting some distance between your crippled partner and the enemies will protect them from stray spells, or wide area ones like fireball.
13. How to mine faster
You can actually speed up the laborious mining animation by dual-wielding pickaxes and 'attacking' the ore vein. You can find a unique pickaxe at the very top of the Throat of the World called the 'Notched Pickaxe' (a reference to the Minecraft designer, maybe?) This increases your smithing skills and does shock damage to enemies.

I'm confused now. You are talking about UIs automatically built by the host from
the plugin parameters, ports, metadata, etc.. To me, this is not a plugin UI,
this is the absence of plugin specific UI, and the kind of thing which you can

plugin metadata is of course possible, but I wasn't talking about that.
I'm talking about those cases where the plugin needs to provide a specific UI,
as it's currently being done with LV2 using GTK, for example in Calf plugins,
etc.. But here you mention a mix of automatically generated UIs and "special web
UI fragments" provided by the plugin.

Hi there! My sister lives in Birmingham. She recently bought a pot of blooming tulips and called and asked me if she could plant them when they finish blooming. Here in the Montgomery area, tulips are usually a one year shot, but she said her neighbors comes back every year. I don't know if folks in B'ham have better luck with them that we do down here? Any advice would be much appreciated!
As always,
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes the bulbs can be planted and they will come back.. Tell your sister not to plant the bulbs in Alabama clay unless she amends the soil first...If she is in Birmingham the soil should be the black soil which is very rich and bulbs will easily pop up next spring and or bloom for her again this year, after she replants them. She can force the bulbs to bloom again if she puts bloom booster plant food on them after she plants them outside. The bulbs will grow in Alabama Clay it is just hard for them to multiply/make more flowers next year.. To amend Alabama Clay for bulbs...the soil should be mixed with leaves, mulch or peat moss and the bulbs should be given bulb food...The area should never be allowed to harden and dry out..And some insect control should be added to the soil twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Grubs are the enemy of bulbs. Weeds should be strictly controlled and the area should be covered with surface mulch to hold in moisture..Cedar mulch will help to repel insects. She should also find a Perennial that she likes that will come up after the bulbs are done blooming.. Something like Day lily or Hosta..Depending on the sun exposure of the area...Black eyed Susan is a good plant for full sun,,,but if not controlled around the bulbs it will take over.. |
Hey Tinawina! Based on my experience they are unreliable at best. Growing tulips as perennials here ain't worth the trouble of diggin' a hole to plop 'em in. My suggestion would be to trade 'em to a naw-thun-uh (or donate 'em to a foodbank for homeless chipmunks). Nelson ;-) |

My neighbor had the same experience as Nelson. Has anyone tried the species tulips? They are smaller and less showy than those from Holland, but they are supposed to come back. HCG sells them. Susan. |

Species tulips- no go in NC in past |
I have a lot of bulbs in my yard...I started with minature Daffodils..These are planted in Alabama Clay. They have multiplied every year with 3 or 4 new bulbs. I use them as a border and they are reliable and lovely. I also have one flower bed that I planted red tulips in. The soil in the tulip bed is completely replacement soil, meaning there is NO clay in it..This bed does better the bulbs multiply to give me new bulbs, usually 5-10 each year..I get a lovely sea of red every spring...I have Day lily planted in both areas so that the garden's have something there throughout the warm season. I have a lot of wild areas on the back of my property..I am clearing a wild area right now..That is 50' X 11' and I am turning it into a flower garden...2 years ago I threw about 100 crocus out there, because I decided I did not like them...As I was clearing this wild area I found the crocus happily coming up. This area is very soft..I would guess because it has been covered with leaves for so long. I also have Iris planted in Alabama Clay, they come up and bloom every year but do not multiply. I am moving all my iris into my New area where I plan to amend the soil with paper, and leaves and some black soil. I am hoping they will split/multiply for me. I use to think bulbs were silly too, because they only give color to a garden for a short period of time...I now find that I anticipate the spring bulbs coming up and enjoy them welcoming spring. To me bulbs represents spring... Underground insect control is crutcial to bulb success in Alabama. |
