The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] UK/ECON - Britain has no more room to keep AAA rating: Fitch

AFP - Fitch ratings agency warned Tuesday that Britain's top triple-AAA
debt rating was on the line if any further financial and economic shocks
hit the country.
Calling the lower growth forecasts the British government released Tuesday
as more realistic and adding credibility to its effort to put public
finances on a sustainable path, Fitch warned that Britain is now on course
to become the highest indebted AAA-rated country behind the United States.
"The capacity of UK public finances to absorb adverse economic and
financial shocks that would result in yet higher public debt while
retaining its 'AAA' status has largely been exhausted," Fitch said in a
Like a number of other top-rated countries, Britain would need to take
off-setting measures to ensure public finances do not worsen in case of a
further shock.
Under its current Conservative-Liberal Democrat government, Britain has
moved vigorously to cut its public deficit, even at the risk of snuffing
out growth.
Finance minister George Osborne, in delivering his autumn statement to
parliament on Tuesday, insisted there would be no let-up in the
coalition's plans to axe the deficit and steer clear of the global debt
The government lowered its growth projections to 0.9 percent this year and
0.7 percent in 2012, but Osborne acknowledged that if the eurozone heads
into a recession as appears increasingly likely it will be hard for
Britain to avoid one as well.
Fitch noted the deterioration in the fiscal and economic outlook means
that Britain's debt will peak at 94 percent of gross domestic product
according to its definition, which will put it above Germany at 83 percent
and France at 92 percent.
Fitch currently has a stable outlook on Britain's AAA rating, which means
it does not foresee a revision.
The ratings agency said British government has demonstrated "a continuing
commitment to placing UK public finances on a sustainable path, and the
adoption of more realistic economic forecasts enhances the credibility of
the consolidation effort."

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
6 I can't believe your fickleness - how easily you have turned traitor to him who called you by the grace of Christ by embracing a variant message! | 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- |
7 It is not a minor variation, you know; it is completely other, an alien message, a no-message, a lie about God. Those who are provoking this agitation among you are turning the Message of Christ on its head. | 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. |
8 Let me be blunt: If one of us - even if an angel from heaven! - were to preach something other than what we preached originally, let him be cursed. | 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! |
9 I said it once; I'll say it again: If anyone, regardless of reputation or credentials, preaches something other than what you received originally, let him be cursed. | 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! |
10 Do you think I speak this strongly in order to manipulate crowds? Or curry favor with God? Or get popular applause? If my goal was popularity, I wouldn't bother being Christ's slave. | 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. |

For a healthy baby
The two articles on foetal medicine and ultrasonography ("Understanding the unborn" and "A helping hand for the foetus") were extremely informative. The safety of ultrasound in foetal scanning is unquestionable. Timely abortion following diagnosis in certain cases helps to avoid birth of babies with severe congenital defects, which would make life difficult for themselves as well as their families. At the same time, foetal intervention to set right correctable defects brings forth a healthy baby. As Dr Suresh rightly states, the need of the hour is to develop foetal medicine as an independent subspecialty with ultrasound as the main diagnostic and interventional tool.
Dr. Shaila S Shenoy, Mangalore
Although ultra sound has been playing a pivotal role in helping the doctor, lack of trained personnel is a big problem. As argued in the article, the time has come to declare ultrasound as a sub- specialty to make it an effective tool to diagnose birth defects and provide an appropriate treatment for it. But special care needs to be taken to ensure that it is not used for sex determination, for which we need strict implementation of Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act on the ground.

Media power
This refers to "Voices in the wilderness" by Sevanti Ninan. Choudhury, Swara's founder, has blazed a trail and if more of such initiatives spring up, there is hope of a better tomorrow. One more instance of the power of the media!
C. Divakaran, Thiruvananthapuram
Caste vs Caste Census
This has reference to "Why are we afraid of the caste census?" by Bhanwar Meghwanshi translated by Sowmya Sivakumar. A caste census will provide the basis for framing sound development policies required for social justice. In India, to ask a person his/her caste name is as common as asking the person his/her name. If caste could not be done away with how can the caste census? The country is not running on ideals, but on realities.
T.V. Jayaprakash, Palakkad
The caste-based census, as demanded by certain politicians, is a divisive move which could only asunder the country and will not unite the people. When the country is facing communal strife, the caste-based census could sow disharmony among various segments. It is pertinent to mention here that caste data is available through the census of 2001, the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and State commissions on backward classes. One more is nothing short of redundant.
H.P.Murali, Bangalore
When the caste system itself is responsible for social evils and problems that we face today with rural India still polarised on caste lines and barbaric honour killings taking place unabated, one wonders how the caste census will help equitable growth and development of all castes based on the final data. The caste system cannot be eradicated as along as people continue to consider it their identity. There is no harm on caste-based count of population in the census 2011 if our objective is to progress towards an egalitarian, casteless society. Only time can answer the question whether the caste data collected will serve useful purpose or not.
K.R.Srinivasan, Secunderabad
I agree with Bhanwar Meghwanshi that caste should be carefully recorded during the census. Elite sectionsare opposing the inclusion of caste in the census survey because they feel threatened by the upward mobility of Dalits and the backward classes. In order to know the actual socio-economic condition of the masses, the caste of the people must be clearly mentioned in the census documents. The argument that it will divide the country along caste lines is faulty and specious..
Dr. Raj Bahadur Yadav, Fatehabad, Haryana
Safety matters
Captain A. Ranganathan, in "Flight of Conscience", has rightly indicted and admonished the pilots, airlines and regulatory authorities, for their failure to live up to the needs and expectations of airline travellers. I live in Mangalore and the recent disaster was an exceptionally emotional event. I have never understood the logic of constructing the Mangalore airport runway on a table-top, when adequate flat land is freely available outside city limits. Public memory is short and people are too forgiving. The airport has been unofficially declared safe. Someday human error will surface again and God knows how many more lives will be lost and families destroyed.
Dr. Sunil P. Shenoy, Mangalore
The recent tragedy at Mangalore airport was heart-rending. There is no point in constructing airports everywhere if safety is neglected.The need of the hour is to make ATC hi-tech so that aircraft can be warned of weather conditions, ground realities at frequent intervals.
K. Pradeep, Chennai
Capt. A. Ranganathan's startling disclosures should send a chill down the spine of the regular and potential air travellers in India. Can we hope that at least now the concerned powers will put in place stricter norms for recruiting foreign pilots, the burgeoning demand from the ever increasing number of airlines and the number of aircraft notwithstanding?

The Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) found a rare patch of common ground this week with area residents who have mobilized against proposed changes to Sarasota 2050 — disappointment in a report intended to analyze the impact of key changes to the comprehensive plan.
At a Tuesday commission meeting, county commissioners sounded off on the outcome of a draft report produced by consultants Laffer and Associates, which, according to commissioners, was originally intended to analyze the effects of modifying the fiscal neutrality constraints of the Sarasota 2050 comprehensive plan.
The report comes with $90,000 price tag, but county commissioners are at this point only obligated to pay $43,000, with the remaining payment tied to the board's decision on whether or not to move forward with the report's completion.
The BCC directed Interim County Administrator Thomas Harmer to consult with Laffer and Associates regarding proposed changes to the draft's direction and focus, and to report back to commissioners at Wednesday's commission meeting to propose a way forward.
County commissioners uniformly criticized the draft, saying that it overreached in its scope and failed to adequately address the issues it was intended to study.
"This report went off track," Commissioner Joe Barbetta said. "It was supposed to be limited to fiscal neutrality and timing issues."
Barbetta joined other commissioners in expressing disappointment that the draft ultimately focused on other issues such as modifying the urban service boundary.
"We wanted an analysis, not a theoretical report," Commissioner Christine Robinson said. "I'm very upset that taxpayer money was spent to go on an intellectual vacation."
Although commissioners shared common misgivings about the final direction of the report, there was some disagreement about who was ultimately to blame.
Commissioner Nora Patterson expressed disappointment in the consultant's work.
Barbetta and Robinson laid the blame on former County Administrator Randall Reid, saying that he overstepped the bounds of what the commission originally intended the report to look at.
"The direction given to the firm were for things that shouldn't have been in discussion at all," Barbetta said, referring to the requirements handed down by Reid to Laffer Associates. "The urban service boundary was never supposed to be up for debate."
Barbetta suggested the report may need to be completely redone for the commission to glean from it the necessary information.
"Lafferty did what they were asked to do," Robinson said. "We can't hold Laffer accountable for what was asked for in the contract. We're going to have to fix this."
"We got your answer from their perspective about what we should do with fiscal neutrality, which is to scrap it," Patterson said.
The Sarasota County Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), which has come out in opposition to the commission's plans to modify the 2050 plan, held a press conference on the steps of the county administration building on Monday, blasting the report for a different reason.
CONA Vice President Cathy Antunes said the report was biased toward developers' interests.
"We want to see a credible report," Antunes said, claiming that the BCC's proposed changes to the 2050 plan were likely driven by political contributions. "There are six firms pushing for these changes, those six firms also contribute heavily to political campaigns."
At Tuesday's County Commission meeting, Barbetta pushed back against claims that the move to modify 2050 was for political payback.
"We need to get this back on track," Barbetta said. "We are only growing at 1.6% annually over the past 10 years — that's not rampant growth. We need to expand our tax base, and that's why we need to get 2050 to work right."
The Sarasota 2050 debate in the County Commission chambers will continue at 9 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Sarasota County Adminstration Center, 1660 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota.
The event will also be live-streamed on the Sarasota County website: www.scgov.net

- 2.
- There are some 44,000 vacant parcels WITHIN the Urban Service Boundary. The infrastructure serving these parcels is largely in place.
The East of I-75 properties should not even be considered for development until the vacant parcels on the West side have been developed. The market can't support it at this time.
And the TAXPAYERS should not subsidize it!
- 3.
- 1.6% growth during the worst recession since the depression?
Why exactly do we need to expand our tax base? Will all our taxes go down while we enjoy more services?
And please explain again how the plan can be accurately judged as "not working".
I wouldn't expect any new development during the recession and why, if I were a dveveloper would I develop now when it seems very likely all restrictions and costs will be removed in the near future?
The 2050 plan is going to be the 2020 plan.

Programming / Re: Python Homework: trying to make a generic function to append stuff
« on: November 01, 2014, 09:02:12 am »
I don't actually need the function to accept user input and use that input to generate code that will append the specified element to the end of the specified list. I was just overachieving and I bit off more than I could chew. I also thought it would be easier in the long run if I had code I could copy and paste, while changing only the user prompts and the list methods.

Help!! I have an ASKO W6221 and it won't start. This has happened before and it was a dime stuck up in the hole off of the lint trap. Any ideas how to get it out? The repair man last time charged me alot of $$ to do this and I want to do it myself if I can. I am pretty sure that is the problem again, when I pulled out the lint trap I had about 6 pennies and a dime fall out. Thanks!! |

There may be other reasons your machine is being balky, but here's how to check your hypothesis: UNPLUG THE MACHINE, do not proceed without doing this, no matter how inconvenient. Then drain and open the coin collector. Get down on the floor with a flashlight so you can see inside and cautiously use a choptsick, or your fingertip to see if the little rotating impellor at the back of the opening is hung up. Start with very light level of poking and increase very slowly, but never apply a lot of force as it's possible to shear off one of the blades. Often if you lie on the floor you can see the stuck object, which helps in the removal. Another thing to check is whether a hung-up drain pump drew enough current to trip your circuit breaker. Do you get no indicator lights, or is it indicator lights but no filling and wash action? The first would point to a break in your power supply (breaker, fuse, etc.) and the later to an internal thing in the machine. HTH Molly~ |
It might be your circuit board. My same washer just died and the tech came and has to replace the circuit board. When I pushed start, I could hear a click like the cycle is going to start and the water would start to fill but it just sits and does nothing. I had a dime stuck before and they came out and fixed it, but in that instance, it would fill and wash, but it couldn't drain the water, so the cycle would wash and fill but never drain. |
The problem with the machine is the brushes in the motor. They wear out and loose contact with the commutator on the armature causing an open circuit. The motor is constantly changing speed (rpm) and reversing its direction. This is the second time this has happened to me. The first set lasted approx 10 years the second set about 5. The brushes are the weak link in the system. It takes about 20 minutes to remove the motor from the machine. you need a 13mm wrench and 13mm 3/8 dr socket. There are two philips screws on each brusholder and one wire. I takes longer to R an R the motor than replace the brushes. There are brushes available on ebay. I took a close look studied the pictures and ordered what I thought was a match, and got the right ones. there are several different brushes for different machines and a lot of manufactures use the same motor. The link attached is for the brushes that fit my w 6221 2001 vintage. If you check ebay europe you can find them cheaper but shipping is longer about 2wks. Most domestic parts suppliers charge up to 72.00 per brush I got mine on Ebay. Hope this helps |

where to start
when your first creating a website using php, do you start working on the design first or the php files?

I start with the main concept of the site.
If it will require a lot of CMS, or perhaps a blog-like site,
that will determine if I'm going to use a Joomla system,
or perhaps WordPress. Knowing that really changes things
because the site layout will be a template based on those.
If it will be a simpler site, I ask the client to look at various
CSS templates to get an idea of what they are thinking about.
If I know what the "look" is going to be, I don't need to focus
much more on design ... the graphics can come later.
Always look at the "large picture" to determine ahead of time
how much PHP (and MySQL) will be used in the site.

I am in the process of doing my first php / mySQL website and as I am building from the gound up I can not use CMS so here is the process that I am following - in this example, it is how I did the menu, but everything is done the same.
Worked out a very basic layout
Worked out what kind of menu I wanted - ie: drop down
added a php "hard code" file for the menu
created the menu tables, then the add, edit delete php files for the menu
changed the menu php "hard code" to dynamic code from the table
I also use alot of include files so I can move things around easily.

Junior Member
been playing a while with my mate and we found a good duo which was pantheon and ap shaco and it worked pretty well so wats ur laning duo?
Senior Member
Morde + Alistar. Stupidly easy towerdives all day long.
swain and taric. I run it all the time in norms with my friend. its stupidly op. another really bad one is xin + alistar
Sona and Tristana hands down
Giltia Zero
No "best laning duo". As always, it's situational. Certain good combos. Xin Zhao and Jarvan/Garen/Alistar. Singed and ANYBODY in a 2v1 lane top? Free kills. Friend and me used to do a Morde/Vlad lane. Absolutely obnoxious levels of sustainability.
xin + jarvan is good too, it's so easy to get first blood
although you're supposed to run a lane like sona + tristana, i can promise you it is no where near the best lane. Put xin and any1 with a knockup or stun, either of those characters will get blown up
I honestly prefer Xin/Garen for first bloods. But Xin/Garen quickly loses steam if you can't grab that first kill, whereas Xin/Jarvan gets pretty brutal even without a first blood.

Matt Stein, chef of Bruxie, pleads for a seat at Work & Class
Matt Stein
1000 South Colorado Boulevard, Glendale
This is part two of my interview with Matt Stein, chef of Bruxie; part one of our conversation ran yesterday.
Most memorable meal you've ever had:
I had dinner in a seafood restaurant in Bari, Italy, with my partners, my wife and a couple of people who worked for us, and we wound up having about twenty courses, including fish species from both the Adriatic and Mediterranean: squirrel fish with the roe; a huge, wild, salt-roasted spigola; sea urchins; oysters; sea dates -- everything you can think of. Needless to say, we also drank too much, and the van we had rented almost got stolen, but aside from that, it was a dinner that was memorable to me on so many different levels.
See also: Matt Stein, chef of Bruxie: "You're only as good as the last meal you put out"
Your three favorite Denver restaurants other than your own:
At this moment in time, I have to say Acorn, the Populist, and Work & Class. Acorn is clearly a great restaurant run by people with the experience and chops to know what's right, and the food is all that and more -- it's just excellent. The Populist astounds me because some fairly young people run it, and I'm amazed by their great sensibilities and the quality of their execution; they're very consistent. Work & Class is probably my single favorite restaurant right now, and I guess I'm saying that in hopes that my love for the place will get me a seat one of these days. It's almost impossible to get in because chef Dana Rodriguez's food is so good and so much fun and just so freaking soulful. My wife and I have eaten there a couple of times, and there's always a great crew, great music, great drinks and great value. Given all of that, why would I even expect to be able to get a seat?
Most underrated restaurant in Denver:
Anthony's Pizza on Colorado Boulevard. They have the best pizza I've had in a long time. In fact, it's as close to a New York-slice joint as I've seen, plus sweet, helpful kids work there, and they have a Coca-Cola Freestyle drink machine that allows you to mix Hi-C into 6,000 permutations. All that, and yet they're seldom busy. It's a mystery to me.
Who is Denver's next rising-star chef?
Dana Rodriguez at Work & Class. I think she's amazingly talented, and she's hitting home run after home run.
Which living chef do you most admire?
Michael Cimarusti, who owns Providence and Connie & Ted's in Los Angeles. Michael works almost exclusively with seafood, which is the toughest, most unforgiving, most highly perishable food there is. I worked with Michael for five years and never saw him put up a dish -- ever -- that didn't hit the bull's-eye. I'm talking about hundreds of dishes that he and his team created that were spot-on every time. Beyond that, he's a gentleman and treats everyone with respect, even though he knows he's the most talented guy in the room. The second one is Carrie, who's my wife and a chef. She's a great cook, and there's love in every bite, and even though the kids are pretty slow with the compliments, she always keeps the food coming.
If you could train under any chef in the world, who would it be?
My dream collaboration would include David Pasternack, Mark Kurlansky and Jon Rowley. I've learned a lot from them already and would love to keep learning more.
What piece of advice would you give to an aspiring chef?
Same as for any other occupation: Only work in places where they really know what they're doing. Bad habits and poor information are easier to pick up than they are to drop off.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Explore growth cycles through the seasons then create original chalk drawings of pumpkins ready for harvest.
Study the changing seasons, and how the weather affects plants that grow in various regions. In areas with four seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter), there is an obvious cycle of growth, characterized by beginnings and endings in the plant world. The natural culmination of the growth cycle, which happens when the weather cools, is often celebrated. Some of these celebrations include the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, Halloween in North America, Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) in Mexico, and Thanksgiving in many countries.
One vegetable often associated with fall harvests is the pumpkin. Pumpkins are sometimes hollowed out, then carved to resemble faces, which were once thought to protect people's households. A candle is placed inside of the pumpkin, which casts an eerie light. Carved pumpkins, called Jack o' Lanterns, can be found on porches and windowsills in late fall.
To create a friendly pumpkin, begin by having students touching, smelling, and looking closely at the way pumpkins are shaped. Pumpkins come in many sizes and shapes, but they always have many long grooves that extend from the stem to the bottom. These grooves get wider at the middle of the pumpkin, then narrow at the top and bottom. If you are younger or have special needs, you may wish to run your fingers up and down these grooves. Also, feel the scratchy stem at the top.
Cover a table with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola® Colored Drawing Chalk to draw a large pumpkin, complete with a stem, on colored paper. Draw a face with rosy cheeks.
Color the pumpkin with orange, yellow, and/or brown chalk for a realistic effect, using darker colors to create grooves and shadows. Use pale colors for lighter areas. Blend colors with a paper towel. Remove any chalk dust by lifting the drawing and tapping the bottom edge lightly on the newspaper.

I've had over a dozen beautifully blooming healthy hydrangeas for the past 3 years and this year every one but ONE looks like the picture attached. My green thumbed father is adamant that our lawn service poisoned them via overspray, and the fact that every one EXCEPT the single one that came back normally are positioned within 2-3 feet of my lawn edge supports that hypothesis, but I would like some support before blaming them outright. What kind of lawn-care chemical could have done this?? I'm sure they will say that they have been treating my lawn for years and it never happened before... so is there any other rational explanation? There is a bit of new growth in each so will these eventually come back to full life? I would really appreciate any input/ advice!! |

I would be more inclined to say the cane damage was due to the harsh winter rather than chemical overspray. If chemicals killed the canes they more than likely would have killed the roots as well. Yours look better than mine do right now and yes they will fully come back. SCG |

Your Hydrangeas are not dead; just treated harshly by the winter. Mine look EXACTLY the same and there are no chemical sprays in or near my garden. They will come back from the growth from the roots. Cut back the top canes and hope for a milder winter next time. Linda |

Barry, Just curious: how come green-thumbed father didn't know this? Are you lucky enough in your neck of the woods to never see winter-kill? Here in Ohio it happens all the time. Your Hydrangeas will probably not bloom as much this year. They look like the variety 'Endless Summer' which blooms on both old and new wood. This year it will be blooming on new wood only. Linda |
THANK you Linda and SCG! I certainly can accept natural causes. |
Linda, Location is the answer to both your Q's... My dad lives in Md and I moved to SC... so he assumed my plants shouldn't have had any problems since we are so far south and none of his had any problems. I am completely clueless to horticulture in general but want to learn and was wanting to be sure I didn't do anything wrong MYSELF to cause them not to come back. |

Winter kill-thats how most of mine look too! |
This nursery near Atlanta reports 80% of their gallons macs died back to the ground. Some of mine showing growth from low on the canes & below ground, but slow going in this delayed Spring. Haven't cut back the canes, since a few deer nibbles show live pith. Trusting they'll eventually grow from the roots, if not from above... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mac losses
In the future, try piling leaves on top of the plant before the first freeze of the season. It won't completely prevent cane death, but in most cases you'll a few blooms where you otherwise wouldn't get any. |
- Posted by Springwood_Gardens 6B Pittsburgh (My Page) on Wed, Apr 30, 14 at 10:47
Give the stems another month to produce. Some of them still look beige/brownish in color. Some of the buds might've gotten nipped, but many stems still appear to be alive. Don't give up on them until about June. |

something else Michael C. Ruppert predicted... it's all quite tied together, and not so nicely, either... it's just a blog, so be forewarned... regardless, i buy most of it, based on the map provided 4-5 years ago... THE COMING ELECTRICITY CRISIS by Byron W. King OK, so I don't have a copy of the Sunday business section from next March. But I think I know what at least one major issue will be within the next 24 months. The headlines will scream, "Power Failures, Price Spikes Plague Northeast U.S." And the same thing will also hit the Western U.S. And the Southeastern U.S. And parts of the Midwest. They sure did not talk about power failures in the presidential debates, did they? I don't know why not. All the insiders know about it. Indeed, power failures and price spikes are baked into the national economic cake. People who follow these things are quite sure of it. It's just a question of when, exactly, the lights will start to flicker. We already had one experience with a regional blackout. Do you remember the power failure of Aug. 14, 2003? Almost the entire Northeast U.S. went dark, except it occurred in the middle of the day. The effects were immediate on over 50 million people in the U.S. and Canada. Skyscrapers just stopped working - no elevators, no lights, no water, no nothing. Hospital operating rooms went dark. Traffic signals stopped functioning and people were in the midst of instant gridlock. If you ran out of gas, there was no power for the pumps at the gas station. Refrigerators stopped humming and large amounts of food spoiled. Rail systems stopped running - from streetcars in Toronto to subways in New York and Amtrak and freight trains in the middle of nowhere. FAA flight controllers had to communicate with airborne pilots via battery-powered walkie-talkies. Sewage systems shut down, and a lot of you-know-what backed up in many low-lying areas. Looking back, the utility companies got the power back up and running, right? And the experts investigated the origins of the problem, right? The people who know all about power grids fixed the problem, right? It could not happen again, right? The U.S. power grid has ample electricity-generating capacity, right? And there's plenty of transmission to move power from one region to another, right? Well, no. Earlier this week, I attended a privately sponsored presentation on U.S. energy policy. The main speaker was a senior faculty member from Carnegie Mellon University. This guy has been "doing electricity" for about 40 years or so. He has written reports for the National Academy of Sciences. When the people at the U.S. Department of Energy have a question about electricity, they call this CMU professor. The news is not good. In 2007, there were about 144 new coal-fired power plants on the drawing boards of the U.S. energy utilities. But, said the professor, "We will probably build none of them." Indeed, "The electric industry in the U.S. is in terrible shape," said the CMU man. So we should expect local and regional brownouts and blackouts to become common occurrences "within five years." But the first isolated instances of brownout and blackout will hit us much sooner than that. Why is there such a gloomy forecast? Because essentially, the deregulation of the 1990s was botched. According to the CMU electricity expert, botched deregulation "slowed investment, raised prices and led to more and more uncertainty." So now few utilities or their executives want to take political, regulatory, technical or financial risks. Hence, the entire long-range planning cycle has broken down. It's almost impossible to decide what to build, and at what scale. Costs are exploding, particularly for new construction. It's safe to say that most power plant construction cost projections have doubled within the past 18 months. The prospect of fast-changing environmental regulations also adds to the uncertainty. No one wants to build a power plant and learn in five or 10 years or so that environmental regulations are going to shut it down. ... continued

Nightlife in Miami
South Beach's over-the-top after-hours can be a blast—if you don't mind shelling out $400 for a bottle of Absolut or waiting in line for two hours while overly tan ladies in less than clothes scoot past the velvet rope. Head away from the beach, boob jobs, and bros gyrating to Kelly Clarkson remixes, and you'll find the grittier, cultural side of Miami, the Miami that birthed events like Art Basel. Trade bottle service for beers and barbecue with the creative types that congregate at Bar, a divey spot from the guys behind influential gallery OHWOW. Live bands and big-name alterna DJs rock venues like the Vagabond, where musicians and gallerinas congregate around an outdoor firepit, and Grand Central, a train station turned music club. All of these culture clubs channel the anything-goes rowdiness of South Beach—without the $40 door fee.

My name is Christine and I have enjoyed this home for many years now that I can spend sometime with my grand children I would like to share this amazing house with some great people who have an opportunity to visit San Francisco. Although I have lived her all of my life I never take those breath taking views for granted.
Christine Reid purchased this house in 1977
This is a perfect location to visit the San Francisco Bay Area. It is quiet and safe and just minutes away from everything.
This property sits high on the hill overlooking the San Francisco Bay and although I have lived here a long time I still enjoy the surrounding.
Aloha Christine-
I just wanted to let you know what a nice time we had and you have such a lovely home. Accommodations worked our perfectly as my older son loved the downstairs area which he claimed for himself. And having the Xbox was a total plus for both my boys. You're place was easily found and very conveniently located. The kitty (bailey I think) was a cutie and we did put out food for him/her every evening. I did try to get most of the towels washed and into the dryer but there was a couple which didn't make it into the washer.
We had a wonderful time there and I hope we can get back again soon.
You have a wonderful day.
Besides San Francisco and all it has to offer take ride down the coast to see the Carmel Valley or head up north to the Napa Valley wine country these are both an hour and a half drive in either direction.
The California coast line is located right over the hill and a ride to Half Moon bay is a must. 20 minutes away.

"Ramanujan mock theta function and representations of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras"
Abstract. In his last letter to Hardy in 1920, Ramanujan listed 17 functions, which he called "mock theta functions" since they behave like theta functions but have no modular invariance properties of theta functions. Since then there have been substantial progress in understanding of mock theta functions.
About 10 years ago, Zwegers introduced non-holomorphic corrections, which made these functions modular. In the recent work with Wakimoto, we linked mock theta functions to representation theory of affine Lie superalgebras. This in turn sheds new light on the theory of mock theta functions.
The XVI AAC mini-course was given by Professor Yuly Billig of Carleton University on February 20 - 22, 2014. See the web page of the mini-course here.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The two space station astronauts left their orbiting home in the hands of ground controllers Wednesday and floated outside to install an experimental robotic arm and inspect vents that might be causing air-supply equipment breakdowns.
Leroy Chiao and Salizhan Sharipov found goo on the vents and hooked up the arm, solving a minor problem with a loose electrical connection on the elaborate robot system shortly before the spacewalk drew to a close.
"Everything's perfect," Mission Control radioed. "Well, thank God, thank God," came the reply. Before going back inside, they were advised: "Take a breather."
The spacewalk - unable to be completely televised because of a cold station antenna - was the first in Chiao and Sharipov's mission, now at the 3 1/2-month point.
"Hello, space, my old friend," Chiao, a veteran spacewalker, said as he exited.
A little earlier, flight controllers teased Sharipov for singing as he got ready to make his first-ever spacewalk. "You could hear that, huh?" he asked with a laugh. The singing and humming continued outside.
Because of the grounding of NASA's shuttle fleet, the international space station has been limited to two residents, one fewer than usual. As a result, no one was left inside during the spacewalk to monitor station systems, and flight controllers kept tabs on things, an increasingly common practice in the wake of the Columbia disaster two years ago.
Controllers did not get to see the start of the spacewalk 225 miles up because of an unusually cold dish antenna, which was parked in a fixed position at the station. They settled for audio only.
But the antenna warmed up sooner in the sunlight than expected, and live TV images of the station filled Mission Control's screens less than an hour into the spacewalk. The crisp images lasted only minutes, however, and reappeared sporadically.
Chiao, the American commander, and Sharipov, a Russian, promptly set up the mini robotic arm that arrived on Christmas Day along with much-needed groceries. Food and water were running so low that the spacemen went on a lengthy diet that ended only when the supply ship showed up.
They had a month of hearty eating to beef up for the 5 1/2-hour Russian-managed spacewalk, which involved hauling the robotic arm and its platform over 100 feet.
Germany's $10 million arm - a 20-inch device featuring two joints, two cameras and a fingerlike pin at the end - is a smaller, simpler version of what engineers hope will lead to satellite-repair robonauts in perhaps a few years. An advanced version also could be placed on a rover and assist astronauts on the moon or Mars by collecting rocks and performing other chores, said Klaus Landzettel, project manager at the German Aerospace Center near Munich.
For now, the objective is simply to see whether the arm can move along a 28-inch curved track and survive for a year in the vacuum of space, Landzettel said.
A late addition to the spacewalk was the inspection of exterior vents for the main oxygen generator and air purifiers.
The Russian oxygen generator has broken down repeatedly, and engineers speculated its vent might be clogged or corroded. The air-cleansing equipment also has a history of malfunctions.
Sharipov found a large patch of dark, oily residue on at least one vent and a white substance - he described it as a honeycomb - on the oxygen generator's outlet. "They're going to be very good pictures," he said as he photographed the goo.
During the spacewalk, flight controllers noticed a repeat of the same mysterious forces that tilted the station on previous astronaut outings. Wednesday's odd, off-center nudges forced the Russian thrusters to temporarily take over steering control from the U.S. gyroscopes several times.
Given Tuesday's late afternoon wake-up, it was expected to be a 20-hour workday for the spacemen, a flight rule violation but a situation that NASA considers unavoidable at times with only two people on board. Flight surgeons vouched for the crew's strength, even after the mandatory dieting.
One more spacewalk is on tap for Chiao and Sharipov in March, one month before they return to Earth in a Russian capsule.

I have 4 sticks of laptop memory. Two are samsung brand and two are hynix brand. They are all 1GB PC2-5300 (DDR2 667MHz). These sticks were tested with no errors when they were pulled from the laptops they came from.
Anybody who wants them PM me and I'll wrap them up, toss them in a bubble package, and send them out to you. I'll say all or nothing since I'm gonna cover shipping (to the lower 48 states) and don't want to hassle with sending one stick of RAM one place and another stick to another place. If I get multiple PMs the first PM gets them just to be fair.
And it's my understanding that since the items are free I don't need pics (or a price, haha). If pics are needed I'll post some up soon.

The Card
We straight away appreciate the black on black color scheme. We always love when companies opt for a black PCB as it does look great, especially when pitted up against a black PCB motherboard.
Taking a look at the cooler, it takes up most of the card, with it even shooting over the end of the card. There are three heat pipes coming out the bottom of the card, along with another coming out the top. Like most higher-end coolers these days, there is a dual fan setup.
Power comes in the form of a single 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connector. Continuing across the top of the card and moving closer to the front, there is a pair of CrossFire connectors in the event you want to throw more than one card into the mix.
Finishing up our look at the card, we head over to the I/O. Here you can see we've got two DVI ports, one in the form of a DVI-D and the other in the form of DVI-I. Along with those two ports, you can see we've also got a HDMI and DisplayPort connector to round things off.
Being a video card that carries the TOP label of course means that out of the box ASUS has overclocked the card. Looking below, you can see out of the box the ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3GB comes with a core clock of 1070MHz, while the 3GB of GDDR5 comes in at 6400MHz QDR. While the memory remains the same as a stock model, you can see that the core clock has been increased by 70MHz over the default 1000MHz.
Today, though, we wanted to see just how much performance we could get out of the ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP. Firing up our overclocking software, you can see above that we managed to push the core up to 1225MHz, while the 3GB of GDDR5 was pushed to 6800MHz QDR.
While the memory clock isn't huge, the core clock is strong and that is what generally brings the biggest performance gains.

Report Details Plight Of NC's Segregated Neighborhoods
A new report from the UNC Center for Civil Rights highlights the issues faced by some segregated communities in North Carolina.
The report refers to these neighborhoods as "excluded communities."
"What we're talking about are communities that are somehow not fully included in the political, social, civic, and economic life of the state of North Carolina," says Peter Gilbert, the author of the report
The report found that the people who live in these segregated communities are much less likely to live near high-performing schools - and twice as likely to live near incinerators and landfills.
"People of color in our state are facing the burden of these environmental hazards in a hugely disproportionate way and if you don't take conscious proactive action the problem is only going to be compounded and perpetuated," says Gilbert.
The report also includes an online map of these communities. The majority of them are in the Piedmont and eastern North Carolina.

Overall Experience
Valet and Room Service unavailble
January 31, 2015
Parking at this site is difficult. Waited for valet...never showed up. I had to drive around the block, and pay $24.00. When up in my room, I tried several times to get room service...only got a busy signal.
Great staff not so great sleep
January 29, 2015
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, yet small. Paid extra for ocean view, but due to construction was unable to open the balcony door or sleep in the mornings. Wonderful location- uncomfortable bed.
Great facility for meetings or recreation

January 26, 2015
My second visit for meetings. Great all around both times. Can't beat this location, right on the beach with lots of nearby restaurants and attractions. Or simply take a walk.
Great service and nice accommodations
January 26, 2015
Great place to book in for business or pleasure. Staff is very attentive and the property is clean and well kept. You can't beat the location for a nice place to stay in the busy world of the LA area. Just across the street from King Harbor, what else could you ask for.
