What Will Fill The TV Void Left By The Olympics?
Now that the Olympics are over, what's there to watch on TV? Eric Deggans of the Tampa Bay Times says there is more fun programming than anything else. He tells Audie Cornish that he'll be watching HBO's Hard Knocks series on the Miami Dolphins training camp, TNT's Major Crimes, Discovery's Shark Week and others.

This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish. Over the last couple of weeks, the Olympics dominated on TV. NBC says it was the most watched event in television history with more than 219 million people tuning in. But, now that the Olympics are over, what is going to fill that gaping void on our screens?
BLOCK: Well, here's a guy who watches TV for a living, Eric Deggans of the Tampa Bay Times. Welcome back, Eric.
ERIC DEGGANS: Thanks for having me.
BLOCK: So I hear you are easing us into this post-Olympic world with a sports-based reality show, "Hard Knocks" on HBO, which is focusing on the Miami Dolphins this year. We have a clip, actually. It's a scene of the coach cutting a rookie, Derek Dennis.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Sometimes, things beyond your control, you know, can impact your whole career. Hopefully, you'll have other opportunities. Just, at this present time, this is not going to work right here, right now, so...
DEREK DENNIS: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: All right?
DENNIS: I appreciate it.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: All right, Derek.
DENNIS: Thanks a lot.
DEGGANS: Now, this clip just sort of highlights what I love about the show, which is that the team opens itself up to 24/7 coverage by cameras. We see everything happen. In this case, we saw this hopeful guy show up. You know, he thought he was going to make an impression and, through no fault of his own, they recruited somebody who was more experienced for his position. He gets cut.
Now, tonight, we're going to see the results of Chad Johnson's fall from grace. A well-known wide receiver arrested for domestic violence over the weekend. Their cameras have been documenting the team this whole time and he was cut from the team. It's just an amazing fly on the wall show that I love watching and it's great right after the Olympics.
CORNISH: Now, that's on HBO. What's the other stuff on pay cable?
DEGGANS: Well, we also have Starz trying to make its mark now. They've got this wonderful show called "Boss" starring Kelsey Grammer as the mayor of Chicago. And he is powerful, high-powered and we get to see a guy who's been funny on television for many, many years on "Frazier" and "Cheers" be very dramatic and very good at it.
KELSEY GRAMMER: The keys to the kingdom. I kept them in your hands for what? Love, sex, respect? For your loyalty.
CORNISH: What's the deal with summer TV? I mean, cable networks - it seems like there's a whole culture of summer programming. And is this where they - their kind of spot to birth a hit?
DEGGANS: Certainly, in the past, the summer was where cable shined because the networks have to go into reruns. Their economic model prevents them from running original programming during the summer, but in the summer is where USA Network has some of its biggest shows, shows like "Burn Notice" and "Suits." "The Closer" wrapped up its run on TNT this summer. "Shark Week" from Discovery Channel is also this week, so there's some great stuff on cable because the networks are becoming more the province of reruns and reality TV and, as we saw, the Olympics.
CORNISH: It's interesting about launching programs in the summer. I mean, I've seen a couple comedy shows launched this summer. Right?
DEGGANS: Yeah. It seems like FX is trying to reinvent itself in late night. Thursdays at 11:00, first they had a show with Russell Brand and now they have a show with this comic from San Francisco, W. Kamau Bell.
CORNISH: Oh, it's interesting and it seems like it has a political bench. We have a clip.
W. KAMAU BELL: Mitt Romney - that's going to be hard on a lot of Americans. It's going to be a Mormon versus a black guy. For most of America, that's like "Alien" versus "Predator." You know what I'm saying?
CORNISH: Eric, who's the audience for this?
DEGGANS: That's the interesting question because Kamau Bell caught the eye of Chris Rock with a show where he promised to solve racism in an hour. So he's got six half hours now to make an impression and his first show last week talked about the Stop and Frisk Policy in New York. He suggested that maybe people - minorities who are stopped and frisked get a free soda at the end of it so they can call it Pop and Frisk.
CORNISH: OK. Yeah.
DEGGANS: And stuff like that. So, in a way, he's targeting the young, white male demographic that watches "The Daily Show" at 11:00, but he's also speaking to the issues in a way that maybe those shows don't because he's coming at it from a different cultural perspective.
CORNISH: Eric, thanks so much.
DEGGANS: All right. Thank you.

A lot of my heucheras/ellas are showing some pretty spectacular new growth now that spring has sprung here in the PNW. This first one is 'Caramel Apple'-a sport of the beloved 'Caramel'. The new growth is the reddish pink color. |

Both the old and new leaves on 'Zipper' are pretty wild! This is by far the brightest heuchera in my garden. |

A new one for me, 'Copper Cascade', is showing a lot of promise. This is supposed to be one of the trailing heucherellas that work well in pots. Mine is planted in the ground. |

This one is called 'Apple Crisp'. The new growth is bright green and the older growth is darker green. |

Another one from the crisp family...'Peach Crisp'. This one looked a bit blah this summer, but the new growth is bright and lovely! |

'Galaxy' has splotchy leaves, which adds interest year-round. The new growth is pretty interesting too! |

Last, and a definite favorite, is 'Georgia Peach'. Such a show off! I think everyone should have one in their garden. It has such a presence with its huge leaves and spectacular color! Anyone else have some great new growth they'd like to brag about? Feel free to add pictures. |
Beautiful! That Georgia Peach is just amazing. And I love those crinkly textures of the crisps, Zipper, and Black Taffeta. FlowerFrenzy, it was your pics last year that got me into heuchs. Several of mine are looking like they are waking up, but nothing photo-worthy yet. Lowes has some temptingly priced "Molten Fire" heuchs just in. Know anything about that variety? Also, do you trim last years winter-weary leaves or just let the new growth fill in? |
If I remember correctly, don't you also grow "Spellbound"? I remember a gasp-worthy photo of it last year and I'd love to see its spring look! |

Hi jadie. I have 'Molten Fire' and I like it. The new growth is an intense reddish color which then melts into a brownish purple. It keeps putting out new leaves for most of the season, so there's a nice contrast most of the time. It's a good grower for me as well. You would do well to pick one up for yourself. Yes, I grow 'Spellbound'. It's a beauty for sure. As if the silver overlay on purple leaves wasn't enough, the leaves are humongous. One of mine reached 7 inches across last year! Glad I could entice another gardener to grow heucheras. I love my hostas, but I have to say that the heuchs are probably my favorite plants in my garden. As far as trimming the leaves goes, it depends. I prefer to leave them where they are, but I cut them if the stems grow long and they start looking gangly or if they're frost burnt at all. I'll try to take a picture of 'Spellbound' this weekend. It looked good all winter long and is just starting to put on some new growth. |

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I have several of these on my want list. I am getting excited for spring. The weather was not just above 0 this week, it went above freezing. Spring fever is much better than winter doldrums. |

Hi Flower Frenzy: Where are you in the PNW? I am in Aumsville, Oregon, just east of Salem. I am heuchera happy too. My Southern Comfort is just getting started and is so pretty! I can't wait for things to really get going. But I also love Hosta and all the other shade plants. There are so many gorgeous new things this year!!1 |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8a (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 14 at 2:07
Rosie-I'm in Vancouver, WA. My in-laws live in Silverton, OR which is also near Salem. If you like hostas, you should check out Sebright Gardens. They have an awesome selection of hostas and heucheras. They're in the Salem area as well. |
- Posted by rosie742001 z5Oregon (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 14 at 14:40
Good Morning! Isn't this a pretty day? My brother-i law and his wife lived in Silverton for several years, it is such a pretty town! I can never get over how green Oregon is! My darlin' man , whom I lost in '08 and I grew up in San Diego and it was mostly brown. We moved up in '74 and I have never gotten tired of the green and the beautiful flowers!! I use a walker (arthrytis). Sebright Gardens is on my favorites list and I really like them. I have ordered from them and Hallsons, and Josh Spece and Naylor Creek. I do everything on my computer!!! And there is so much pretty stuff this year!!!! I loved your pictures, as soon as my Heucs have some growth , I will try out my new camera 1 |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado 6a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 20, 14 at 1:49
Great pics, Flower-Frenzy, thanks very much; These pics will help me choose some heucheras for the gardens this year. Heucheras and hostas and ferns, three plants have never gone together more beautifully (in my personal opinion). ALSO: I just placed my first order from Sebright, for a half-dozen hostas. I remember you speaking very highly of them and telling me I wouldn't be disappointed with their stock. Your recommendation is good in my book, so in May, I'll have my first batch from them. Great selection of hostas, it took me several hours to explore it from A to Z! I chose several that I didn't find anywhere else. Anyway, thanks for the tip, and I'll post pics on the hosta forum, hopefully in mid-May or so. Regards, |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 20, 14 at 19:47
Hi Don...glad you're enjoying the pictures. There are so many great heucheras and heucherellas out there, it's hard to choose. Luckily, most of them grow in sun and shade so it's easy to find spaces to plant them. It's great that you ordered from Sebright this year. You won't be disappointed. They send large divisions and they stand behind their plants, so if you ever have any trouble just contact them (not that I expect you will). I can't wait to see your pics over in the hosta forum! I'm fortunate enough to live about 1 1/2 hours away from them and I go at least 3 times during the season. They have beautiful gardens and some of the hostas are so large that it's almost unreal. It's difficult for me to get out of there for less than $100. They sell heucheras at the nursery as well, so I'm sure you can imagine the temptation! |

Converting file path to content type
I'm trying to make it so that the file path will be matched to a content type in the following pattern:
http://example.net/xml/file => http://example.net/file, text/xml;charset=utf-8
http://example.net/html/file => http://example.net/file, text/html;charset=utf-8
http://example.net/xhtml/file => http://example.net/file, use application/xhtml+xml if user agent handles it, text/html if not.
et cetera for other file formats such as css, jpeg and png. This should also work in a directory structure such that:
http://example.net/articles/xhtml/file => http://example.net/articles/file
I'm on an Apache server with php and cgi/perl, mod_rewrite enabled, but have no access to the server configuration files (only the usual .htaccess). How would I go about this? Anyone able to help me with the script handling it? (I don't know php or perl at all, not a bit...)liorean <[lio@wg]>

Being almost 3 in the morning, I'm a wee bit too tired to fully respond. That and the fact that I'm not ENTIRELY sure what you're wanting to do...
the php pseudo-pseudo-code would be to:
define an array containing the different content types ie:
Then, using a regular expression, find which one is in the url, and then print to the header, the content-type found in the regular expression.PHP Code:
$contentTypes = array("xml","html","jpg","png","gif","xhtml");
That'd take care of the part I understand, anyway....

I'd do this with a combination of mod_rewrite and PHP.
Firstly the mod_rewrite:
So a URL like "http://www.domain.com/article/xml/whatever" will become "http://www.domain.com/?mime=xml&file=whatever"Code:RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^article/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)[/]? /?mime=$1&file=$2 [R,L]
You can modify the regex to suit your needs - and once you've got it working get rid of the " [R,L]" so that the address bar isn't updated.
Then you can set the content output like this:
Then including the page data is the easy bit:Code://get vars $mime = $_GET["mime"]; $file = $_GET["file"]; //mime is xhtml if($mime == "xhtml") { //set private caching cos we're using data from the UA string header("Cache-Control: private"); if ( //UA accepts application/xhtml+xml stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"],"application/xhtml+xml") && ( //and it's either Opera 7.3 or greater eregi("opera[ \/]7\.[^012]",$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) || //or not Opera at all !eregi("opera",$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) ) ) { //serve as xhtml+xml header("Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8"); } else { //serve as html header("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8"); } } //serve as xml if($mime == "xml") { header("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8"); } //serve as html if($mime == "html") { header("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8"); }
I typed most that off the top of my head, btw, but the mod_rewrite is testedCode://get file var $file = $_GET["file"]; //include file include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/path/to/$file.inc");
I'm pretty sure, but not 100%, that you'll have to keep the actual articles in a directory other than "articles" - you shouldn't have a directory with the same name as the keyword in the URL, otherwise requests to it will get rewritten as well.

To finish the story...........
So I had made the Leap of Faith, as shown in yesterdays upload, and now it was Jakes turn.
Knowing how dangerous the jump was, I spent 5 minutes or so explaining to Jake that he must step across, definitely do not jump and try to land on all fours. There just isn't the space to land it on more than two limbs.
He eagerly agreed, not really listening, so excited was he to get on with it. So he climbed up and it was down to him now as I was standing away, camera in hand ready to take the shot.
Imagine the stomach in mouth moment when through the viewfinder I see this gut wrenching scene as the boy flies through the air like a cat falling from a tree, trying to land on all fours on top of a rock 3002 feet above sea level.
I can remember thinking "Oh my god his Mum's going to kill me!" but when I looked up from the camera he was clinging onto the top of the rock like a limpet asking if he could do it again.
Great days............

I remember you telling me this story when it all happened, it doesn't get any easier thinking about what could have happened!!! Both pics are great.
I remember those days at that age trying to jump my local brook, but most of the time I failed and got wet.
Nice action shot
Took my breath away when you first shown me the shot ~ done the same again!! Brilliant shot Paul
Wonderful shot, Paul. Not for the faint-hearted (like me).

I'm not worried about the dish aspect. I have three masts, two with dishes on them now, on the top of my chimneys. Eventually temp controlled alcoves for any dish(s) I'd need. I could also series DPP44 switches, and keep the dish count down, if that will work? Part of the questions I have. It's integrating it into my whole house system. Or is it going to be "snotty" and have to do its own thing and not play well with others (gear)?It could be added to your existing layout if you have two free output from DPP LNBF/switch for Solo Node.
I saw only one set of jacks per unit. So there'll be Joey's all over and can they coexist or mesh with existing RF from my modulators? OR put them all in the racks and pipe it out? Addressable remotes for that? ZigBee looks very interesting. See, questions and strange thoughts. Frankenstein didn't have instructions (per sé).

Didn't even notice that when I got the shot , will have to ask more questionsSome notes while looking at BobaBird's pictures at EKB:
- the letter X in new line's name of boxes XiP came from eXtention of DP/DPP technology, what technically means adding IP stack over MoCA 256QAM
Could be a trendy number, or a retro nod to first Dish receiver. The idea now is that future models in the line will also be called Hopper, maybe Hopper 3000.- full name of the DVR is "Hopper 2000" (I guess it's because of 2000 GB drive size ?)
Scott's early report says we'll be able to use both, booth says eSATA won't be active at launch.- would EHD running out of eSATA port on back, not USB as previous ViP models?
Didn't get a good answer on that.- purpose of second Ethernet post ?
Didn't ask, didn't look.- where is the games ?
- no one word about AppStore and Apps development
The what? I've only seen a still shot (I guess that would be the only kind ) paired with the Sling Adapter used with the 722/722k.- no picture of USB Rose Sling Stick.

Posted 12 January 2012 - 08:37 AM
"Belligerent and numerous."
Sometimes I update the Dish Network FAQ
AT200, Hopper & 360 via HDMI to Onkyo 505 to basement 42" Westy, Hopper via Comp-over-Cat5 to living room 42" Vizio with a Roku 3, Joey to Toshiba 32" LCD with a Logitech Revue. You want fries with that? Pull up to the 2nd window.
Posted 12 January 2012 - 01:24 PM
2nd ethernet port could indicate that it's got a small switch built into it so as to allow passthrough for other devices (aHRM xbox360)
I'm very skeptical about the 'switch' - a) nothing close to such component(s) on FCC pictures ...
Actually, I would bet for the XiP813 retail price - no such switch inside.
Posted 12 January 2012 - 01:27 PM
If you could - stop at Sling booth (I saw they have it) and beat them - the sling_stick is a part of XiP813 possible setup....

How many years did the Dish recievers have USB and ethernet ports before there was any real use to it?

Hopper stacking for additional Joey's?- purpose of second Ethernet post ?
Posted 12 January 2012 - 10:48 PM
Chased down the wild goose, turns out it's the familiar Sling Adapter already used by the 722/722k. Sling uses flowers as development code names.- no picture of USB Rose Sling Stick.

07/10/2010 | Elliot Wilson
China is moving fast to create an offshore renminbi currency market. The redback finally seems willing to take on the greenback
Chinas renminbi also known as the yuan or the redback has long been an inflexible currency, its purpose largely to keep the countrys exports competitive. But moves are afoot to make the renminbi a more flexible way of settling cross-border trade, with the ultimate aim of creating a fully floating, unpegged currency.
After years of prevarication, on August 16, China opened the doors of its domestic interbank bond market to the central banks of a select group of nations including Argentina, Belarus, Indonesia, Iceland and South Korea. Analysts at Standard Chartered called the move a very important piece of the puzzle for the development of a significant offshore renminbi market in Hong Kong.
On September 8, Bank of China began issuing up to Rmb5 billion of bonds in Hong Kong with maturities of two and three years to retail and institutional investors. Five days later, Euroclear Bank said it would allow clients to settle transactions and deposit Eurobonds and Hong Kong securities denominated in renminbi from September 27.
Then on September 19, Beijing publicly allowed Malaysias central bank to buy yuan-denominated bonds, taking the credibility of the renminbi as an international currency to a new level. Other Asian central banks are also believed, quietly, to have bought yuan-denominated Chinese bonds in recent months.
Even foreign-listed corporates have got in on the act. McDonalds has recently issued yuan-denominated bonds, as has HSBCs mainland China operations and Hong Kong-listed Hopewell Highway Infrastructure.
The key questions now are these: how big can the offshore renminbi market become; and who will benefit. The answer to the first question is, simply put, enormous.
Philip Lynch, chief executive officer Asia ex-Japan at Nomura, says: Given the importance of Chinese trade flows and the increasing liberalization of the RMB, the offshore renminbi market will over time be as important as the Eurobond market.
In July 2009 HSBC chief China economist Qu Hongbin predicted $2 trillion of annual cross-border trade (around half the mainlands total) could be settled in the yuan by 2012. That would make the renminbi one of the top three currencies in global trade.
Standard Chartered says that comparisons between the offshore-renminbi (CNH) and Eurodollar markets are inevitable: We expect significant CNH liquidity growth as a result of renminbi trade settlement, tourist receipts and other renminbi flows. The bank reckons that CNH bond issuance could grow faster, were the rules surrounding the ability to transfer funds into the mainland further relaxed.
SLIM PICKINGSTrade in the CNH has so far been relatively thin. At around $4 billion, the offshore-renminbi market is just 0.1% of the onshore total of around $2.9 trillion. Daily offshore spot foreign exchange transactions in the renminbi are meanwhile around $3050 million, or 0.2%, of the $20 billion onshore spot market. Moreover, CNH deposits, in the Hong Kong banking system, make less than one-tenth of one percentage point of Chinas $10 trillion onshore renminbi deposit base.
Yet this isnt stopping cities and states in and around China from seeking to establish their own credentials as offshore centres. Hong Kong is the logical base for a CNH market, though its mainland twin, Shenzhen, is also trying to muscle in on the act. The Qianhai region of the city plans to develop an onshore-offshore financial centre working hand-in-hand with Hong Kong though it remains unclear what purpose this would fulfil.
The next step with the renminbi should be the creation of the so-called mini-QFII a variation on the qualified foreign institutional investor scheme. This is likely to be introduced later this year or early next.
The project, originally designed as the through-train scheme, announced and then scrapped in spring 2009, should allow Hong Kong residents to convert Hong Kong dollars into renminbi by acquiring Shanghai and Shenzhen-listed A shares.
That would provide Hong Kong residents with an incentive to actually hold renminbi, says Lucy Feng, regional head of bank research, Asia ex-Japan at Nomura. We expect more investment opportunities in the renminbi to appear after that, such as investing in the mainland fixed income and interbank markets.
For now, China seems content to roll out a series of bold pilot projects big enough to boost interest in the CNH market. Beijings new currency-related assertiveness also has a knock-on benefit: as other countries buy Chinese bonds as reserve assets, upward pressure on the renminbi is created helping, if only partially, to mollify US politicians keen to label China a currency manipulator.
Andy Rothman, chief China strategist at CLSA, believes that once Beijing becomes more comfortable with global growth prospects, appreciation in the renminbi versus the US dollar will return to the 57% annual pace of the 200508 period. Following Chinas September surprise, the redback finally seems willing to take on the greenback.
In time, dont bet against it winning.
China is keen to step up the pace of internationalising the renminbi - and European governments are keen to help.
Bank debt issuance across Asia is soaring this year, driven by the need to comply with Basel III regulations. Fresh impetus from China is set to send volumes higher still
Falling commodity prices have hurt Mongolia's economy, which relies heavily on its abundant natural resources. Improving relations with China are helping it through the squeeze but the country has yet to show its true potential to global investors
With every resource that it needs to become a wealthy country, Kazakhstan should be doing better, but its economy remains stubbornly tied to energy and metals prices. President Nazarbayev is running out of time to transform his nation
The head of the Asian Development Bank yesterday insisted that he was not "scared, threatened or cornered" by the emergence of a slew of new infrastructure banks and alliances that are springing up around the world.
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
Hungary may have a relatively immature banking market but there is more growth visible there than there is across the CEE or, at present, across the eurozone

Axial lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF) approach for adult scoliosis.
Summary of "Axial lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF) approach for adult scoliosis."
AxiaLIF was initially advocated as a minimally invasive, presacral lumbar fusion approach. Its use has expanded in to adult scoliosis surgeries.
Current literature about AxiaLIF for degenerative lumbar surgery and adult scoliosis surgery were reviewed. Anatomy, biomechanical properties, clinical results, and complications were summarized.
Anatomically, AxiaLIF is relatively safe even though traversing blood vessels, and the pelvic splanchnic nerve can be at risk. AxiaLIF can provide significant stiffness compared to the intact spine, but posterior supplementation is recommended. AxiaLIF in the long construct for adult scoliosis surgeries can protect the S1 screw as effectively as pelvic fixation. Successful clinical outcomes after AxiaLIF were reported in the degenerative lumbar spine, adult scoliosis, and spondylolisthesis. It can facilitate a high fusion rate up to 96 % without BMP. Complications include pseudarthrosis, rectal injury, transient nerve irritation, and intrapelvic hematoma.
AxiaLIF is a relatively safe procedure, and it provides good clinical results in both short constructs and long constructs for adult scoliosis surgery. For a safer procedure, surgeons should seek out prior colorectal surgical history and review preoperative imaging studies carefully.

Statistics don't reveal the faces behind the numbers. While trillions were lost in housing values the human cost, measured in lost dreams, dislocation, divorce, depression, suicide, addiction, is incalculable.
They're the interior spaces where the most value can be added during a sale, so they need to look their best.
Things break, things wear out, and unplanned expenditures pop up. It happens. You'll want to keep some emergency money handy for a leaky roof, clogged kitchen sink, or dripping hot water heater.
A better source of financing for home purchases is urgently needed -- and there is one.
Lost in the constant and unending stream of national headlines last week was a troubling bit of economic news that could negatively impact each and every one of us.
Since the credit crisis in 2008, lenders have made it more difficult to get a loan. If you are in the market to buy a home or refinance, you'll have three options for a mortgage.
I was listening to an interview with Tim Geithner this weekend, and after going through his new book, they asked him where he thought the economy was headed. "I don't believe forecasts," he said, which sounded smart to me.
The answer lies in a complicated web of factors that will be different for each person -- including the health of the housing market where you intend to live, your age, income and how much you can spend, how long you intend to stay in the property, your long-range financial plans and more.
Statutory language may be narrowly interpreted by courts. Federal legislation may preempt state legislation. The "third wave" of mortgage modification litigation will likely continue for some time with lenders frequently prevailing.
The Obama administration did too little, too late, to help troubled homeowners, who faced plummeting home prices and the risk of foreclosure. The most important thing they can do is get Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to adopt principal reduction.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac need to be regulated properly, they need to be required to maintain sufficient capital reserves, and they need to be operated transparently. But given the current legislation, eliminating them would be reckless and foolish.
Fifty years ago this summer, Congress adopted the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the first anti-discrimination law with any teeth since the end of Reconstruction. By many accounts, the Sterlings have repeatedly violated these American principles.
Some in Congress and in the administration want to do away with Fannie and Freddie and hand over their portfolio to the private banking industry, but without the previous requirements that banks do a certain amount of business with low-to-moderate income individuals.
While the spring thaw is coming later than normal in both climate and housing this year, there are new signs that the market is picking up.
Rio de Janeiro is moving forward with the expansion of land titling for its most vulnerable citizens through Minha Casa Minha Vida, the national housing program, and Morar Carioca, the city's urban upgrading program.
Each year, it seems the housing market takes on a different tone. Sometimes it's going to be a sellers' market with inflated prices and bidding wars, and sometimes a buyers' market with tons of choices and low prices.

Leading out of the gate: I am mechanically-retarded. So I just have to set the expectation low because I'm simply looking for guidance.
Last month I purchased my first Taco ('12 DCLB V6). Because I'm Type-A, I keep a mileage and MPG log and update it at every fill up. Since I purchased it I've been getting 18.1-18.4 MPG per tank.
HOWEVER, earlier this week I had to drive from RI to VA for a funeral and once arriving in VA I bottomed out the truck on a speed bump. Ever since then (on the trip back and 1 tank around town) I've been getting 16.8-17.3 MPG.
Does this sound right? What normally scrapes when you go too fast over a speed bump? I haven't gotten it on a lift yet, don't see any visible damage, and will be taking it to the dealer for another unrelated issue (bad weatherstripping) - what should I point to or suggest to look at? Or am I being too fickle?
Thanks for any and all guidance.

Tiger Temple
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) |
Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua, is a Theravada Buddhist temple in western Thailand that was founded in 1994 as a forest temple and sanctuary for wild animals, among them several tigers, the majority of which are Indochinese tigers. The tiger temple is located in the Saiyok district of Thailand's Kanchanaburi province, not far from the border with Burma, some 38 km (24 mi) northwest of Kanchanaburi along the 323 highway.
The tigers[edit]
In 1999 the temple received the first tiger cub, one that had been found by villagers; it died soon after. Later, several tiger cubs were given to the temple. As of July 2014, the total number of tigers living at the temple has risen to 135.
The original eight tigers brought to the temple were rescues, and thus far DNA data is incomplete and therefore unavailable to the public, as the pedigree of the tigers is not entirely known. However, it is presumed that they are Indochinese Tigers, except Mek, who is a Bengal Tiger. It is possible that some may be the newly discovered Malayan Tigers, as well as cross breeds or hybrids.
Issues, reports and controversy[edit]
It is claimed that the Tiger Temple's philosophy for animal conservation is flawed, and an organization called Care for the Wild International claimed that based on information collected between 2005 and 2008 the Tiger Temple is involved in clandestine exchange of tigers with the owner of a tiger farm in Laos contravening the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and national laws of Thailand and Laos. It claimed it operates as a tiger breeding facility without having a respective license as required under the Thai Wild Animals Reservation and Protection Act of 1992.[1]
Based on the Care for the Wild International report, a coalition of 39 conservation groups, including the Humane Society International, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, World Animal Protection, and the World Wide Fund for Nature, penned a letter to the director general of National Parks in Thailand under the name 'The International Tiger Coalition'.[2] This letter urged the director general to take action against the Tiger Temple over its import and export of 12 tigers with Laos, its lack of connection with accredited conservation breeding programs, and to genetically test the tigers at the Tiger Temple to determine their pedigree and value to tiger conservation programs. It concludes that the Temple does not have the facilities, the skills, the relationships with accredited zoos, or even the desire to manage its tigers in an appropriate fashion. Instead, it is motivated both in display of the tigers to tourists and in its illegal trading of tigers purely by profit.
In December 2006, ABC News spent three days at the temple and did not see any evidence of drugging or mistreating the animals. Both Thai and Western employees who were interviewed claimed that the animals were well treated. The abbot of the monastery stated that the eventual goal was to breed tigers for release in the wild.[3]
In August 2013, blogger and animal rights activist Turner Barr went "undercover" at Tiger Temple as a volunteer for a mere 18 days. He chronicled his time there on a YouTube video that shows what he considered to be molestation, maltreatment and malnutrition of the tigers.[4] He summarized his findings on his blog, Around the World in 80 Jobs,[5] and distilled these down to 7 essential reasons to think twice before visiting Tiger Temple.[6][7][8] As more people are calling for Tiger Temple to be held accountable to the revelations of behind-the-scenes findings, the public interest in responsible tourism alternatives has grown significantly.[9]
Current and Future Projects[edit]
The ongoing project of Tiger Island is now complete, housing the 100+ tigers in large spacious enclosures, where the tigers are able to roam free in beautiful natural habitats. This is all viewable by the public from the Skywalk - a walkway that extends throughout Tiger Island providing an aerial view of the tigers, lions relaxing and enjoying the quiet life.
The next huge project for the tigers is to begin at the start of the next year (2015). 3000 rai of land has been purchased with the intent of separating it in to sections of 10 rai per tiger. This will house the tigers in a semi wild state with constant monitoring but with as little human interaction as possible.
Another smaller project is to build a large extension to the current Moon Bear enclosure. The current enclosure is now too small to house the now six Moon Bears residing within the Temple. The hopes are to build a beautiful bear habitat tripling the size of the current enclosure.
The ongoing project of the new Temple Maha Wihan - Maha Chedi is funded by Thais and Buddhist guest who come to the Temple donating their money to building this new Temple. It is being built for Lord Buddha Worship, Dhamma Worship, Monk Worship and as a status symbol of gratefulness to Phra Dhammavisutthimongkhol, Luangta Maha Bua Yannasampanno.
Other animals in the Tiger Temple[edit]
The temple sanctuary is also home to several herds of deer (five species) as well as peacocks, water buffalo, cows, goats, horses, banteng, porcupines, boars, jackals, civet cats, lions, several kinds of hornbills and various species of birds.

It's your girl Keri Hilson, Miss Keri, baby. Hello, Seventeen Magazine readers. Prom. Prom is coming up. Oh, my gosh. I remember my prom, my senior year; I went both years; 11th and 12th. But my senior year was the most important time. I took one of my friends, a childhood friend, and I remember my hair was down. I did the long flowy hair thing, and it was all black. My dress faded from navy blue to gray, I believe. It's like navy blue went through like the royal blue, whatever. I can't remember. It was something like that, navy blue-gray. However, it got there, it got there. But I had a lot of fun with Jason-- that was his name. And my best friend and I were, you know, we like double dated. It was my best friend and I, and Jason and his best friend, like they were actually dating. I wasn't dating Jason, long story short; double date for prom, good times. When I was seventeen, my dream prom date was Tyson Beckford. And now, my dream prom date is Tyson Beckford. I love him. Anyway, enough girl talk. If I could go to prom now, I would probably wear Dolce and Gabbana. That would be my hands down dress. It needs no alterations for me, it just fits me incredibly. I don't know how I'd wear my hair. I would let the dress-- I think it's smart to let the dress dictate your hair. You can't really go the opposite way. So, let the dress define the mood for how you should wear your hair-- whether you should wear it up or wear it down. Don't get too tied in to how you want your hair before you know what it will look like with the dress, that's my tip. I think I remember a little drama with my makeup. So, make your makeup appointments like really fast. I think I had to finish my makeup or something. I went to the mall to get it done and I-- that didn't quite go very well. I was super duper, duper late. I mean that's-- I wouldn't be Keri Hilson if I wasn't late. But he and his family were at my house and I wasn't there. I was still getting my makeup done. I had to rush home. I hadn't even showered, as a matter of fact. I had to shower with my hair done. Stuffing all that prom hair in a shower cap was like prom-trauma-rama. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your prom, and I hope you win the contest to see me live at your prom. And maybe once I'm there, I'll choose a date, my prom king. Cool? Bet. Love you guys. No boys allowed.

Well, right. What is Jeremy Piven going to do, NOT produce a reality show about glass blowing called Blow? From Deadline:
With his HBO series Entourage coming to an end, Jeremy Piven is focusing on producing through his production company Luscious Mayhem. For one of the company's first projects, LM has teamed with Bischoff Hervey Entertainment for a new reality project called Blow. The show focuses on famous New Orleans glassblower Josh Cohen and his band of misfits as they deal with each other and their demanding clientele.
The Amazing Vase! The Real Housewares Of New Orleans! POOR GLASS MUST BLOW LIKE DOG SHIT. It's just nice to see that Jeremy Piven isn't going to be slowed down by the end of Entourage. Just really hitting the ground running. Dude's got a million ideas. BOOM! NEXT! WHO WANTS SOME? The Piven stays in the picture.

2. Cajun accents are adorable.
If it's about making bongs or something then it will be stupid. I think Luscious Mayhem would want it to be about making bongs.
I've only seen Entourage three times, but I'm pretty confident that when Jeremy Piven talks about glass blowing he means cocaine.
Am I the first person to see this connection?

To the editor: Last Friday (Sept. 12) at 10:45 a.m., I gassed my car at a gas station in Little River, S.C. It had a sign that read: "10 gallons only, as a courtesy to all our good customers, so all can get some gas." (I am paraphrasing).
I got gas, less than 10 gallons, and went to get my wife's car to get gas, as I had heard a number of stations were allegedly running out or were charging exorbitant fuel charges.
I returned at 11:18 a.m., 33 minutes later, and found the price up to $3.99 per gallon.
To the editor: Mr. McGinnis counsels us to vote for the politician who can return to us the most earmarks, a.k.a. pork. Emphasis is on "return."
Better we not send it to Washington to begin with. The town hall, not to mention the state capitol, is where these monies should come from.
To the editor: I am in receipt of your [Sen. Richard Burr's] letter dated Aug. 12, 2008, whereby you related to me what you are doing to help alleviate the major problem of fuel costs facing all Americans today. You indicated you cosponsored the Gas Price Reduction Act of 2008 (S.3202), which is "a more serious and comprehensive solution to our energy crisis."
The major conditions of your proposed legislation are:
• Exploration would have to be at least 50 miles off the coast.
• Meet stringent environmental protections.
To the editor: Sen. Obama, you pledged to run a clean campaign and not resort to low-level personal attacks, but your new TV ad makes fun of Sen. McCain not being able to use a computer to send e-mail.
Well, he can't physically use his hands to type because of the beatings he took during his five years as a POW.
In my book, Sen. Obama, you are the pig with lipstick.
To the editor: Why has Rep. Mike McIntyre refused to debate his opponent on the issues that affect his constituent's quality of life?
He has plenty of time to travel around the county dispensing money for his pet projects that engender a photo-op, but no time to discuss issues like energy, taxes and national security.
Why isn't the media asking for a meeting between the candidates? An open discussion that highlights differences can enable the electorate to make an informed choice. Is McIntyre not willing to make the time for this important activity?
To the editor: As Election Day approaches, it is crucial for all of us to exercise our constitutional right to vote. We should make those voting decisions based on where the candidates stand on your ranking of the important issues of our day.
To the editor: Mike McIntyre refuses to debate Will Breazeale. This is abysmal for a representative of the 7th District of North Carolina to refuse debate to a challenger for his elected seat. McIntyre claims Will Breazeale is not a credible candidateeereally? Section 2 of the United States Constitution says "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen."
Looking to keep a growing community properly staffed with an efficient fire department, Shallotte Fire Chief Paul Dunwell has been soliciting grants to aid the town.
At the urging of the Town of Shallotte, Dunwell set out looking for additional funding sources and soon landed approval for a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant.
Last year, the town's board of aldermen signed off on an application for the funding.

Fender pressure
Just got done cleaning all the old fenders on my new-to-me old boat. Tossed a couple that were rock hard. For the survivors, what pressure should they be inflated to?
Firm, but not rock solid.
I actually found directions etc with some I bought a year ago, decided to read them, they had 2-3 lbs listed.
You might try looking up Taylor, a company that makes bumpers, and see if some maintenance/directions are online too. I would agree with the firm, but not rock solid. So you will not need a lot of PSI, probably less than 10, and the 2-3 that I read is probably correct. marty |

GRAPH EXPO WRAP-UP -- Digital Integration Takes the Stage
November 2002Enfocus Software, meanwhile, is broadening the reach of its tools through the introduction of a free Certified PDF Reader as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat and licensing of the Enfocus PitStop Library to OEMs for integration into workflow solutions.
Speaking of digital workflow solutions, Heidelberg unveiled its Prinect Printready modular workflow architecture and the first system components in the system. It is expected to be the successor to Prinergy when the manufacturer's business agreement with Creo expires. Creo answered by launching Version 2.1 of Prinergy, while Agfa had the first U.S. showing of ApogeeX. All of the systems feature JDF support.
Screen (USA) added features to its Trueflow workflow, and Esko-Graphics released upgrades to its Fastlane and FlowDrive front ends. Fujifilm showed its CV5 RIP that can be enhanced with workflow capabilities.
In addition, Shira Computers and Group Infotech introduced products they classify as preprint management (or manufacturing) systems—Xpressi and Printline Automation (PLA), respectively.
The violet versus thermal computer-to-plate (CTP) debate was surprisingly muted at this year's Graph Expo. The "new" things in CTP product displays tended to be the first U.S. showing or commercial delivery of products previously announced, with the IPEX show in the U.K. earlier this year having stolen the thunder.
As expected, Fujifilm and Esko-Graphics brought 30mW violet platesetters to the Windy City, and Heidelberg says a 30mW version of its Prosetter will be available by the end of the year. Fujifilm also formally showed its high-speed Brillia LP-NV photopolymer plate, and Western Lithotech, a Lastra Group Co., likewise displayed its violet-sensitive DiamondPlate LV-1 photopolymer plate.
Two thermal platesetter introductions—Agfa Xcalibur 45 and Screen (USA) PlateRite Ultima VLF—were noteworthy for their use of the new Grating Light Valve (GLV) technology. basysPrint also uses a specialized imaging component, the Digital Micromirror Device (DMC), in its computer-to-conventional-plate systems, which now offer nearly double the imaging speed thanks to second-generation technology.
Creo teamed up with Presstek to demonstrate the former's Trendsetter and Lotem platesetters imaging the latter's chemistry-free Anthem thermal plates. Another pairing led to Printing Developments (PDI) filling out its product line with the new Matrix Thermal polymer plate, which it is marketing under an agreement with Spectratech International.
Proofing Solutions
Ink-jet proofing solutions continue to proliferate, whether they be software solutions designed to optimize the results of a variety of print engines or dedicated hardware and software combinations.
It may not be completely accurate to call the first category software-only products since some of the proofing solutions include dedicated consumables (typically inks, but also papers in some cases), and most require, or at least recommend, use of some kind of measuring device to calibrate and linearize output.
Products on display included Creo Integris, DuPont ChromaPro XP, Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) Professional Server Version 3.0, GMG ColorProof, Best Colorproof and Oris Color Tuner Version 5.0 from CGS Publishing Technologies. SWOP support was a key advance shown at the show in several cases.
Fujifilm took things a step further by introducing its Match Certified color management software and proof branding program. The system is said to mimic the human eye in creating a visual match between Fujifilm digital proofers and presses.
In terms of hardware products, Creo introduced the Veris continuous-flow ink-jet proofer and KPG's integration of Imation's product line was reflected in its launch of the Matchprint 5542 and 5560 ink-jet proofers. Agfa added the seven-color Sherpa 24m ink-jet proofer to its product family, which also includes specially formatted media.
KPG also announced plans to commercialize its Matchprint Virtual Proofing system that consists of a viewing station, monitors, measurement device, as well as a specially configured computer and software.
Also showing remote proofing solutions were RealTimeImage, with its ASP-based RealTimeProof Express solution, and Prolatus, with its MarkUp proofing software that features a new tablet and pen to mark up proofs.
In the digital printing arena, the big initiatives centered around increasing the number of impressions produced on existing solutions, rather than major new technology introductions. See the related story in "Digital Digest" (page 60) for more information on programs designed to build demand for digital output.
Digital Press Report
Xerox was taking commercial orders for its iGen3 digital production press (also see this issue's cover story, which profiles one of the first iGen3 commercial users.) Likewise, Heidelberg reported sales of its NexPress 2100 digital press. Scitex Digital Printing previewed what it claims is the "next generation" in color printing technology, but devices using the page-wide array, continuous ink-jet printheads reportedly won't hit the marketplace until late in 2003.
In the black-and-white segment, 150 page/minute systems were introduced by Heidelberg (Digimaster 9150i) and Canon (imageRunner Pro 150+). IBM offers the Infoprint 4100 digital printer with a 191⁄2˝ web width, allowing users to print 6x9˝ books three-up with trim and gutter. Also, Delphax Technologies used the event as a forum to continue its efforts to establish the company's identity beyond Check Technology Corp. and promote its digital printing solutions based on electron beam imaging (EBI).
However, the main technology trend apparent on the show floor was the continuing evolution of digital printing solutions for producing a finished product in-line. These end-to-end production lines combine printing engines with binding and finishing solutions from a variety of manufacturers. IBM, Xerox and Océ were among the leading print engine players with solutions on display.
In an attempt to help industry companies explore emerging markets, the Graphic Arts Show Co. sought to create a special presence for large-format digital printing technology at Graph Expo. In promoting the initiative, the organizers drew from a study done by IT Strategies for NPES The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies.
The NPES study projects that U.S. retail sales of large-format print output could reach $11.3 billion by 2005. However, it notes only "around 15 percent of these retail dollars pass through more or less conventional graphic arts channels, the rest passing through non-traditional channels. Therefore, commercial printers arguably miss out on 85 percent of the incremental revenue derived from ink-jet technology."
Judging by the level of interest at the show, work remains to be done in selling commercial printers on the business opportunities in large-format digital printing.

It also is legally questionable. "The idea of paying a major employee through a subvendor, so you don't see the salary, is a problem," said former FEC general counsel Larry Noble, who now heads the watchdog group Americans for Campaign Reform. "This is someone who was working directly for the campaign."
If Short used C&M to pay Sorenson on his own, without money from the campaign, some analysts say, that would be an impermissible campaign contribution, far in excess of the FEC's $2,500 individual contribution limit.
A dual role
Florida evangelist Peter Waldron, the campaign whistleblower who brought the FEC complaint in January, alleges that Sorenson actually was paid through MichelePAC, Bachmann's independent political organization.
FEC records show that MichelePAC paid C&M Strategies about $160,000 in the year leading up to the Jan. 3, 2012, Iowa caucuses.
In the complaint, Waldron alleges that Short did about $40,000 worth of campaign work on the PAC's dime. Counting the alleged payments to Sorenson and other campaign aides reportedly on the PAC payroll, that could bring MichelePAC's total Bachmann presidential campaign contributions to more than $100,000. Federal election law limits PAC contributions to $5,000.
Attorneys for Bachmann and Short contend that his work for MichelePAC was totally separate from his campaign work, though they have not provided details.
Sorenson also is implicated in a separate police investigation and lawsuit Bachmann faces. He is alleged to have stolen an e-mail list from the computer of another campaign staffer and used it to solicit thousands of home-school families in Iowa.
In the end, Sorenson did not provide Bachmann much of a boost in his state. Days before the Iowa caucuses, he jumped ship to the presidential campaign of a Bachmann rival, then-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

THAT'S HOW STEVE LECLAIR, PRESIDENT OF THE OMAHA FIRE UNION, VIEWED THOSE REQUESTS .. MUCH OF IT ASKING TO KNOW SPECIFICS ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT, AND ITS STAFFING. HE SAYS ITS MUNDANE INFORMATION. BUT THEN TO SEE STOTHERT SAY THAT IT'S UP TO áHER TO APPROVE OF FIREFIGHTER REASSIGNMENTS, LECLAIR BELIEVES SHE'S CROSSING A LINE, GOING AGAINST THE FIREFIGHTER CONTRACT.("and I just want to be very clear that things that are contractual obligations, that I don't think that they necessitate approval of the Mayor or that they're at the discretion of the Mayor or the fire chief for that matter.") LECLAIR SAYS THAT CONTRACT IS WITH OMAHA áTAXPAYERS. ("well, we made multiple requests to speak with the Mayor and her staff about this here at City Hall, but they declined. So, instead, they e- mailed us a statement.") IN PART, STOTHERT SAYS:"the fire department has been over budget by 30 million dollars over the past five years.as mayor, i am seeking information from and providing direction to omaha fire department management so we can fix their budget after years of overspending and financial mismanagement." WHETHER OR NOT THAT INFORMATION HELPED... BEHIND LOCKED, CLOSED DOORS IS UNCLEAR.. BUT IT áIS CLEAR THE BUDGET SHOWDOWN IS NOT DONE. AGAIN, NO ONE HERE IS TALKING TO US ON-CAMERA ABOUT THIS. THE ONLY TYPE OF RESPONSE WE GOT FROM THE áCHIEF WAS A SMILE AND A áSHRUG, AS HE DROVE AWAY FROM HERE THIS EVENING -- AFTER SPENDING ABOUT 30 MINUTES UPSTAIRS. REPORTING LIVE, I'M RL, KNW7.

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. | 1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children |
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. | 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. |
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; | 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. |
4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. | 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. |
5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. | 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. | 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. |
