It looks like Gigabyte, Asus and MSI are all gearing up for ATI's upcoming multi-GPU technology by preparing motherboards based on ATI's chipset. The interesting part is that ATI will have a chipset for BOTH AMD and Intel platforms, so who will go with what is still a mystery.
Tier two motherboard companies are still considering and evaluating these chipsets but most of the companies don't want to start a conflict with Nvidia, as Nvidia might give them hard time if they start using ATI chipsets all of a sudden.

I had braces when I was younger, and so I can imagine how painful Herbst appliance problems could be. It's amazing how much one small rough spot can irritate your mouth!
As the Herbst appliance sounds pretty sizable, I imagine there is a lot of room for rough spots and for things to pop out. As the article said, it's probably a good idea for anyone with this appliance to keep some dental watch and numbing spray around.
From my experience, if you're going to have a problem with your orthodontia, it will probably be in the middle of the night when your dentist isn't available. So it's good to be prepared!

After spending a school year focusing on books and indoor learning, Derek Stuart, owner of Mega Camps, believes that students should make the most of their summer freedom by learning basic outdoor skills and experiencing adventure.
To help, Stuart has developed an engaging, hands-on adventure Mega Camp for "adventurous" 7-9 year olds and 10-14 year olds, as well as young teens, where students learn outdoor skills not typically offered on Hawaii Island. The groups are kept intentionally small and run from May through August in blocks.
"Mega Camp is dedicated to providing young people with an opportunity to build confidence, self acceptance and an open mind toward others," said Stuart.
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Stuart has experience as an adventurer. He has been an international expedition river guide, safety kayaker, and videographer and photographer while visiting 42 countries and five continents, according to his Mega Camp website. He was an Outward Bound instructor in Zimbabwe and even a children's adventure camp leader in France and Wales.
"A myriad of opportunities lie on or just beyond our doorstep and our mobile day camps utilize adventure and activities beyond what is available in schools and most programs," Stuart said. "Mega Camp is a camp like no other."
Camp is in blocks this season with a focus on the elements as themes: air, water, fire and earth, learning about how they sustain life and what they mean to our survival as we go though our adventurous activities. Day clinics can be scheduled at anytime for four or more.
"I find that children and youth discover a greater love for our island's natural bounty," Stuart said. "Feedback is that a new balance is formed between an existing interest in indoor activities at home and a new yearning and confidence in a healthy lifestyle, and that discussion with parents is renewed and goes beyond the latest fads."
Mega Campers will have the opportunity to experience hiking, archery, body boarding, surfing, fort building, harnessed tree climbing, stick carving, rope work and farm adventures. Each week, students will be able to enjoy weekly aqua days, which teach new swimming skills and safety as well as enjoying the ocean, with kayaking near shore.
Overnight camping is available again and a circle island adventure 'surfari' is planned for this summer.
"Friendship and personal challenge along with caring and encouraging staff will help to enhance life skills, foster personal growth and promote a sense of camaraderie and community," Stuart said.
For more information, email Stuart at 808-756-1127 or visit www.MegaCamp.info.

Jim Matheson claims victory over Mia Love in very close 4th District race
SALT LAKE CITY — Like a magician freeing himself from a box filling with water, Rep. Jim Matheson escaped with his political life once again Tuesday to earn a seventh term in Congress.
The Democratic congressman claimed victory shortly after midnight in a hard-fought victory over Republican Mia Love after trailing in the polls going into Election Day. In so doing, he becomes the first representative from Utah's new 4th Congressional District.
After a seesaw battle all night long, Matheson bested Love 49.3 percent to 48.1 percent, a 2,818-vote gap, according to unofficial results. The difference came down to Salt Lake County, the only county Matheson won. Love was victorious in Utah, Juab and Sanpete counties.
In winning another term, Matheson held on to his position as the state's lone Democrat in Congress.
"I believe in building consensus and supporting good ideas wherever they come from and in being the voice for all Utahns," Matheson said. "This is who I am and how I always sought to move forward, by leading from the center and bringing people together."
Matheson said he expected the race to be tight and built a good ground game to get voters to polls.
"I want to tell you something. I have had a remarkable journey," Matheson told cheering Democrats at the Sheraton Hotel. "I am proud to have been a leader in getting things done."
Utah Democratic Party chairman Jim Dabakis said his party saw the Romney tsunami coming.
"We worked harder. We knocked on more doors. We organized as we've never done before, and I think it made a difference," he said, citing the work of the newly formed LDS Democrats and other groups for Matheson's win.
Love, 36, fought back tears as she addressed the media at the Hilton Hotel early Wednesday morning.
"This has been a long, hard battle," she said. "I don't regret one thing."
The Saratoga Springs mayor said she plans to continue to promote conservative issues. Also, as a mayor in the 4th District, Love she would work with Matheson while holding him and other congressional leaders accountable.
Matheson has now fended off six challengers — three of them narrowly — since wresting the 2nd District seat from a Republican 12 years ago. He jumped to the new 4th District this year after the GOP-controlled Utah Legislature carved up his district when it redrew congressional boundaries last fall.
The 52-year-old congressman has proven to be an astute campaigner who appeals to independents and moderate Republicans. In one of his TV ads, a local mayor said he was voting for Mitt Romney and Matheson. He portrays himself as an independent voice who puts Utah over party.
Love tried to tie Matheson to President Barack Obama and questioned his votes on the Affordable Care Act and federal bailouts.
After dropping millions of dollars, exchanging testy debate barbs and attacking each other week after week on TV, Matheson and Love were evenly matched in almost every way as they scrapped for votes to the final hour.
Close races are nothing new to Matheson, and he said he expected this one to be tight from the beginning. A Deseret News/KSL-TV poll late last week had him trailing Love by five percentage points.
Love would have made history with a victory as the first black Republican woman elected to Congress. She often downplayed race and gender during the campaign.
"I don't think that matters to Utah. If Washington is going to make a big deal of it, it's certainly positive in terms of what they think of Utah," she said after winning the GOP nomination in April. "The message of the Republican Party has nothing to do with race or gender. It really has to do with policy and principle, and that's what I represent."
The candidates spent much of the campaign trying to define each other.

The first fully animated comic book for the iPad, Niko and the Sword of Light is quite the delight. It tells a fun story and backs it up with some stunning visuals and great voice work.
Telling the story of Niko, a boy who seeks out a way in which to restore his land's freedom, Niko and the Sword of Light is the kind of adventure that can be read by young and old alike. Even better, read it with the family – it's that kind of tale. Headphones are recommended and for good reason, but little of the atmosphere is lost by gathering around an iPad as a group.
The story is divided up into a series of chapters, with the first three chapters available for free. That's enough to get a real taste for the comic book and I've no doubt that many will be keen to dive in for more.
The real standout feature here is the animation. It's so well done, easily fitting into the theme of the story and bringing everything suitably to life. Alongside that, the dialogue and music add to the atmosphere well, although I was a little disappointed to see that the subtitles on offer didn't include all the lines of dialogue. Something to bear in mind for any hearing-impaired comic book fans.
Controls wise, it's also not quite perfect. Swipes and taps dictate progressing through the book, but there's no way of setting the app to auto-progress, with taps occasionally detracting from just enjoying the experience. Other than that, it's all quite straightforward.
Fortunately such things don't matter much overall given that Niko and the Sword of Light's story is grand enough to captivate. It's a great example of what can be done with the comic book form, and something that I'm very keen to see more of in the future.

Waratah carriages delayed again
PUBLISHED: 03 Nov 2010 15:59:47 | UPDATED: 03 Nov 2010 15:59:47PRINT EDITION: 03 Nov 2010
The NSW government has announced a delay to the roll-out of more than 600 new Waratah passenger railway carriages.
The upgraded carriages, which will offer improved air conditioning, additional safety measures and better access, were meant to be in service by the end of 2010.
Transport minister John Robertson said the carriages, which are being made by Reliance Rail under a $3.6 billion public-private partnership, won't be in service until next year.
Mr Robertson said the delay was related to safety tests.
"Reliance Rail has advised it expects the first Waratah passenger train to be in service by the end of the year," he said on Wednesday.
"However, RailCorp has advised the government that the first Waratah train is unlikely to be ready for passenger service at that time.
"They have indicated that a more realistic timeline would see the first train commence passenger service after December and by April 2011."
Mr Robertson said the Waratahs won't be put into service until they've passed all safety tests and the government is "entirely satisfied" with their reliability.
"There are a series of critical tests that need to occur to ensure this happens and its up to Reliance Rail to deliver on this," he said.

"This invite is even better in person than I imagined. The paper is great quality and the foil press is amazing! I also got the gold envelopes which are great quality and much better in person as well!"
"The paper quality is great and I removed the meal choices and the card still looked awesome. With the design teams help, they were able to replace some of the writing in order to make the card look full."
"These invitations are beautiful. The paper weight is very nice and feels very expensive. The print is very pretty and I was very happy with my purchase. I ordered the gold lined inner envelope with the invites. They look so much more expensive than they really are."
"I got this and it's matching invitation and they look great together. I purchased the navy & silver color combo. I changed quite a bit on this card: we're doing a cruise for our wedding so I changed the entrée selection area to be tailored to cruise info, I had the reviewers change the letter on the guest's name line to be the letter of my fiancé's last name instead of an "M", and I added our photo and wedding site link info on the back of the RSVP card. Everything came out great, would definitely recommend."
"The invite looks gorgeous and well made. I got the silver foil which I highly recommended. Looks to be much more expensive than it was. I have received many compliments on our invite!"

John Huff/Staff photographer Construction workers fit a cross member to the structure of the counter weight tower on the south span of the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth Tuesday.
PORTSMOUTH — Workers enjoyed a reprieve Tuesday from the recent bitter cold temperatures as construction of the Memorial Bridge continued with Archer Western crews placing pieces of the south span tower.Ironworkers could be seen from Prescott Park Tuesday morning placing and securing steel beams into place on the south span towers.The steel tower pieces, fabricated by Structural Bridge in Claremont, are being erected piece by piece by a barge-mounted crane adjacent to the south span. Archer Western estimates it will take about a month to complete this portion of the work. The Control House will also begin taking shape as crews begin to erect the frame of that building at the very top of the south span.Last week, workers placed the concrete bridge deck using a piece of equipment called a Bidwell, according to an update issued by Carol Morris of Archer Western Public Outreach.On Tuesday, Morris said that although the cold may not be pleasant working conditions for crews to do their job, it is the strong winds that accompany local weather events that really throw the schedule off track.

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here!
I bought a Mondeo 2.0i Ghia yesterday with some coolant issues and other little problems. It's a 2001 Y-reg with 120k on the clock. I think the colour is Colorado Red? It needs a good wash and a clean inside as it's filthy but it seems to go quite well! The guy I bought it off put an induction kit on it which sounds pretty pants to be honest so I'll be putting the original airbox on it when I get it from him.
I'm quite mechanically minded so I hope to be of some use to you!

Archive for the 'Panspermia' Category
It is when it's about the search for extraterrestrial life and panspermia.
In yet another example of just this, I'd invite you all to read "Far-Off Planets Like the Earth Dot the Galaxy."
Have any of these planets actually been identified? No. Have any of them yielded data that demonstrate life is possible? No.
But doesn't the article lead say this …
Astronomers reported that there could be as many as 40 billion habitable Earth-size planets in the galaxy, based on a new analysis of data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
It does. Sounds real "sciencey" doesn't it? These scientists are "reporting" this figure — as though the number has been truly validated. Correction: this is guessing or speculating, not "reporting" of something known to correspond to reality.
The reality is that what's being said is that the 40 billion number is a mathematical extrapolation (again, it sounds better than "guess") about how many planetary bodies there might be in the galaxy that are situated in "Goldilocks zones" — i.e., situated in orbits that, given the heat of their suns (another guess), would have surface temperatures that are not too hot and not too cold for liquid water, the essential factor for life as we know it.
It's really hard to not look at this and call it "faith". I don't mind this faith statement, of course, since I have no theological objection to ET life. One might also argue that it's reasonable faith. I have no problem with that either, since I don't think faith and reason are incompatible. But when it comes to religion, faith is readily criticized, no matter how reasonable. "Without scientific data" we're told, "it's still just a belief."
If the shoe fits ….
I had to say something about this recent article from DeZeen: "NASA Develops 3-D Printing Factory in Space." I just finished the draft for The Portent, and there's a scene in it that involves the marriage of nanotechnology (and/or synthetic biology) and 3-D printing. I hinted at that scene during my interview with Art Bell a week ago.
But NASA and the military industrial complex would never contemplate anything like that.
Here's the Rebecca-from-Sunnybrook-Farm spin from NASA about the venture:
"This radically different approach to building space systems will enable us to create antennas and arrays that are tens-to-hundreds of times larger than are possible now, providing higher power, higher bandwidth, higher resolution, and higher sensitivity for a wide range of space missions."
Sure. It'll do that. It's a great idea to make hardware in space. Why not?
The problem is that it doesn't take too much imagination to speculate on what sort of other kinds of recipes and ingredients NASA could put into a technology like 3-D printing ("What would you like to make today . . . with organic materials?"). Garbage in, garbage out. Organic material in …
The unpopular reality is that, if and when NASA or anyone else is able to wield synthetic biology (that's writing new, unique DNA from the atomic and molecular level up), it would be painfully easy to fabricate non-terrestrial DNA and claim it's alien life. That's not debunking. It's a frank admission that those who don't wield such technology would have no hope of critically evaluating such a claim in a world where some people did wield that technology. And once someone achieves the ability to manufacture non-terrestrial DNA right here on earth (again, think about that one), then what's to stop any tethering of it to 3-D technology?
In other words, in such a world, how would we tell truth from falsehood with respect to a claim that ET life had been discovered? Granted, I'm with you if you're thinking most scientists could be trusted with such a research claim (i.e., they'd be doing honest science). But I hope no one is so gullible to think that science is never politicized, and that this particular science would never be politicized.
It's a shame that this sort of technology has the potential to take something that's true and undermine it with skepticism, and to take something false and celebrate it as truth. But it might not be that way had those in power in these areas for so many years been more ethical and high-minded. We reap what we sow.
Is the red rain phenomena of Kerala, India, proof of extraterrestrial life? Does it contain ET DNA? Does it demonstrate a panspermia mechanism?
The answers, in order, are: no, no, and no.
The red rain issue seems to come up a lot. I want to use it as an example of how research focused on UFOs and ET life sometimes annoys me.
It takes little effort to find peer-reviewed material on red rain. Scientists are aware of it. Here is a 2006 article, published in an astrophysics journal, that angles toward an ET origin explanation, but acknowledges there is no DNA in the red rain – just molecules similar to earthly biological molecules. The gist of the argument that the material came from space is its dissimilarity to terrestrial alternatives (like dust or volcanic ejecta). Sounds good, right? Well, hold on ….
A year later this short essay was published in Analytical Chemistry (2007, 79:9, pp 3238–3238). Its focus was isotope analysis of the red rain. It's terrestrial as far as anyone can tell, but the essay doesn't totally rule out extraterrestrial. There's just nothing to support an extraterrestrial conclusion to this point.
In short: scientists aren't completely sure where the red rain particles are from, though analysis to date points to terrestrial origin. They'll keep working on it until they can be completely sure where the stuff came from on earth (that's what's needed to nail it down).
What annoys me is that so many UFO "researchers" simply take pull quotes from studies that angle for the ET origin (or worse, from other UFO websites) and then steer their readers to the conclusion they prefer. That falls somewhere between incompetent and dishonest, but that's the sort of thing you see all the time in this field, unfortunately. I'm not an astrophysicist. I'm not a chemist. It took 15 minutes out of my day to find the above resources, which are high in quality. If I can do it, others can as well. It's not magic.
The news of the recent experiment by Prof. Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield has been making news of late. In case you haven't read about it, here's a synopsis of the experiment (from the provided link) and why it has garnered interest:
British astrobiologists are claiming to have found alien life form in the Earth's stratosphere. They collected a small diatom frustule that could have come from space after sending a balloon to 27 km into the stratosphere during the recent Perseid meteor shower.
"Most people will assume that these biological particles must have just drifted up to the stratosphere from Earth, but it is generally accepted that a particle of the size found cannot be lifted from Earth to heights of, for example, 27 km. The only known exception is by a violent volcanic eruption, none of which occurred within three years of the sampling trip," explained Prof Milton Wainwright from the University of Sheffield, who is a lead author of a paper reporting the discovery in the Journal of Cosmology (full paper).
The above-mentioned "diatom frustule" |
I will assume the comment about the volcanism is true, but other articles have mentioned at least one red flag:
The group's findings were published in the Journal of Cosmology. We should point out, the credibility of the journal has been called into question before. Time magazine in 2011 pointed outthis scientist's words:
Blogger and biologist P.Z. Myers puts it a little more pithily: the journal is, he writes, "the ginned-up website of a small group of crank academics." Some of the articles that have appeared do nothing to dispel this idea include "The Origin of Eternal Life in the Multiverse" and "Sex on Mars: Pregnancy, Fetal Development, and Sex in Outer Space."
The I've been on that journal's website before, and the titles above aren't made up. The other problem with the journal is that it doesn't produce articles by blind peer review. Rather, authors of submitted papers themselves submit a list of people whom they presume are qualified to review the paper. It isn't hard to see the problem with that ("I want my paper published, can I think of five friends with PhDs that like me and my ideas and who will almost certainly approve my paper"). Ouch. That's really a problem. It tells me that the journal's creators feared that some papers they'd want to put before the public eye in a presumably academic context might not make it. That isn't the goal of scholarship (or shouldn't be).1
From a layman's perspective, one obvious problem (that may or may not be a real problem – hope someone in the science community asks) with the study is: "How does Wainwright know that his balloon didn't pick up an organism within earth's atmosphere on the way up to the 27 km mark?" What I mean here is that, while such particles are "generally accepted" as being incapable of floating up to that height, how do we know it couldn't have been picked up at a lower height and brought along for the ride? (Or, for that matter, on the way down when the balloon landed). Were there foolproof safeguards against those possibilities?
It's encouraging that they will seek to repeat the experiment in October to "coincide with the upcoming Haley's Comet-associated meteorite shower when there will be large amounts of cosmic dust." Hopefully that will provide the kind of data needed to rule out this layman's concerns and the concerns of other specialists. Ideally, it would be prudent for them to publish those results under blind peer review.
Finally, note once again how far this is from certainty with respect to panspermia. If you're finding an organism that isn't found on earth, how could it have contributed to evolution? Answer: it couldn't have. But the reasoning extends that other such particles that are traceable to earth by some means came here. In other words, it's not evidence of panspermia, but it would add coherence to the extrapolation.
This notion has been around for a long time. I remember hearing Richard Hoagland say it many times on Coast to Coast AM. But now we have "science" (goofy face here) intervening. It was also a sub-plotline in The Facade.
The Mysterious Universe blog recently posted an essay entitled, "Mars Could be the Father of Life on Mother Earth." To quote the essay, there has been a recent interest in:
Clay extracted from a meteorite of martian origin collected in Antarctica has proven to contain high concentrations of boron. Oxidized boron, or borates, are thought to be among the stuff that led to the formation of RNA.
Let's think about this a little. Boron is found naturally on earth in trace quantities. Statistically….
Abundance earth's crust: 10 parts per million by weight, 1 part per million by moles
Abundance solar system: 2 parts per billion by weight, 0.2 parts per billion by moles
Boron does not occur naturally in "pure, elemental form" but must be isolated and extracted. The news of the martian meteorite is the high concentration.
Just in case a reader of the Mysterious Universe piece might be thinking that this discovery in Antarctica means earth's boron came from Mars, and therefore life on earth came from Mars, we get this penetrating analysis point:
While this doesn't necessarily mean martian meteorites provided the borate which led to the rise of RNA on Earth, it doesn't rule it out either.
Wow. Thanks, Einstein. "Just because we can't prove our theory doesn't mean you can disprove it." Brilliant. Now it's up to people to disprove something that isn't proven. That used to be called the fallacy of trying to prove a negative. I guess it's scientific thinking in this case. So then why make a news story? I'm guessing many readers will know the answer to that.
While we're on logic, can anyone spot a logical leap in the idea? (I should give awards or something for stuff like this). If Boron is already on earth in trace amounts (in lots of places), then why are we asking whether Mars is the source of the boron that led to life on earth? How about another one. Is it possible that many or all of the planets in our solar system have boron? Now, if only Mars and Earth did, that would make for a good chicken or egg question, but until we know they are the only two contenders, it's quite possible that the planets in our solar system have boron from a common source out there somewhere. That would mean there was actually no direct panspermic (I think I just made up a word) causation from Mars to Earth — the "seeding" idea would be much grander, especially in the context of a big bang (which, for you militant atheists out there, isn't a theological problem for lots of Jews, Christians, and Muslims).
It's just panspermia folks; nothing new here.

State agencies tighten belts, make $200 million in cuts
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Lots of state agencies are tightening their belts tonight after a state panel orders almost $200 million in cuts.
The cuts come after word that revenue for the state might not be as high as expected.
Just some of the agencies making the cuts are the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, the Department of Transportation and Developments, the Department of Public Safety, which includes the Louisiana State Police, and the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
GOHSEP says they're cutting a little more than $200 thousand from their budget. They say they plan to be getting rid of several contracts and services that essentially do the same thing. They're also dropping notification services that can be handled by the National Weather Service and the Division of Administration.
No jobs will be lost.
The new director, Kevin Davis, these cuts will help the agency be more efficient without jeopardizing safety.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation and Development says they're moving about $24 million from a trust fund to the general fund. That means there won't be an impact on any current or future construction projects.
The agency says they will also save money through employee attrition, cutting back on overtime, and reviewing all professional contracts.
DOTD also says this is a good way to streamline the entire agency.
The Department of Public Safety says they're planning to shave a little more than $2 million from the budget.
State Police Colonel Mike Edmonson says they plan to get that done mostly through hiring freezes. He says there won't be any impact to safety or services, and Trooper will still be out in full force all over the state.
Edmonson says the rest of the $2 million came from cutting back on other items in the budget in a way that won't impact many positions.
The Department of Health and Hospitals plans to make spending cuts for next years budget totaling round $64 million in savings.
The plan would cut two facilities: one in Leesville and one in Greenwell Springs. That means close to 90 people will lose their jobs.
Patients at these facilities will move to other state campuses.
Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein says the cuts will not affect provider rates, reduce eligibility or cut benefits.
"So we used the degree possible where ever we could to belt tighten," Greenstein said. "In our facilities close down facilities that we could provide the same level of services or better else where and look at all the financial transactions."
Greenstein says workers can expect to see those changes begin as early as March of next year.
The Department of Natural Resources is cutting a little more than $80 thousand. They plan to do that by cut cutting one position and putting a hiring freeze in place.
The Department of Corrections is axing more than $6 million from its budget.
Several positions are being cut, including 13 vacant jobs.
They will also up the fee on probation and parole cases by $10.

EUGENE, Ore. — Bijou Art Cinemas kicked off its fundraising campaign Friday to finally switch over to digital film.
The owner says the theater is well on its way to its goal of $38,713 to purchase a digital projector.
Donations totaled nearly $8,000 as of Friday afternoon. One of the owners say the conversion is long overdue.
"We've held out as long as we could. And I think it worked well for us because we're getting better prices now and less buggy equipment than we would have if would've done the conversion a year ago," said Edward Schiess, Bijou Art Cinemas owner.
He says they appreciate all of the community support. If you donate at least $250, you get a membership that usually costs $300. There are more rewards the more you donate.

Gov. Mike Pence: Senate GOP income tax cut doesn't go far enough
Governor wants $500 million tax cut
INDIANAPOLIS - Gov. Mike Pence said Thursday that an income tax cut in the Indiana Senate's proposed budget is a start but he'll still push for the $500 million cut he has proposed.
Senate Republicans put forward a $30 billion budget Thursday that cuts the state's personal income tax by a total of $150 million annually and funds an expansion of major highways.
Pence wanted lawmakers to slash the income tax from 3.4 percent to 3.06 percent, but Senate Republicans opted to reduce it to 3.3 percent.
Senate Republicans said that combined with eliminating the inheritance tax and several business tax cuts, they are reducing the government's take by about $500 million.
"There's relief for all Hoosier taxpayers, which amounts to approximately $500 million when all of it kicks in," said Sen. David Long, R-President Pro Tempore. "We make significant investments in education and in our infrastructure, which we also think is important, particularly as the economy has improved somewhat."
Senate Republicans propose putting $200 million a year in a new transportation fund to pay for additional lanes on Interstate 70 and Interstate 65 crossing the state.
The plan also would pay for building a new bypass around most of Indianapolis.
Republicans have also proposed eliminating the inheritance tax and cutting the financial institutions tax by 2 percentage points.
The Senate Appropriations Committee advanced the budget on a 9-4 party line vote Thursday. The full Senate will vote on the budget next week.
"I believe that we are getting on the same page, but let me be clear, there are still details and differences about levels of spending and priorities," Pence said. "And as we go through this process, we'll continue to welcome constructive discussion."
Pence hasn't specified if there's a minimum income tax cut that he'll except, and Senate Republicans haven't said if they'll concede any ground.
"Right now I think what we've done is really good, and I'm proud of it," said Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville. "But I'm willing to sit down and listen to the governor's issues."

The Local Authority intend applying double yellow lines to Musley Hill and its junctions with Redan Road, Grasmere Road, Larksfield, quaker road, Fanhams Hall Road and High Oak Road. This WILL substantially reduce parking which is already stretched. The restrictions are unnecessary in safety terms. The County Councils records show there have been very few minor accidents and no serious or fatal accidents. Residents will need to find parking elsewhere and secure parking and garages in Ware are generally not available. The restrictions will increase congestion on other streets and therefore not alter the overall position. Please provide your support to this. THIS WILL AFFECT YOU AND YOUR VISITORS and if allowed to proceed could seriously decrease the value of your property

Buying everything that is "cute"- It is better to buy supplies for a specific project. no matter how cute that sail boat die cut is, if you never go sailing it may not ever get used! Your style of scrapbooking may change, too, as you learn to scrapbook.
Buying a lot of stuff before you get started- It can be over whemling to get too many supplies before you even make a page. Get your basic supplies and make a few simple pages, Then start shopping with the project in mind. If you are working on Christmas pages, then buy enough paper and stickers to go with that theme and get the pages done. Extra supplies can really be a burden as they add up.
Buying a lot of supplies before you have a place to store them- Even as a beginner, you need to have a place to keep your supplies. But an organizer that can grow with you. Leeco Industries makes a number of scrapbooking organization tools that are part of a system. Highsmith makes acid free cardboard storage modules that can work as part of your scrapbooking storage.

The civil war in Syria has had a tremendous impact on the lives of the common man. The war has gradually transformed into an ethnic conflict, where thousands of lives have been lost and the count only continuing to increase with time. Several hundreds have been rendered homeless and have fled across the border to find refuge in the neighbouring countries. The Syrian civil war has its effect in almost each and every province in the country.
Syria's main opposition leader in exile has called for a no-fly zone by the powerful countries in its border areas to protect the civilians from regime helicopters and warplanes. A lot of Syrian refugees have sought shelter in its neighbouring nations. For instance, Turkey is housing over 12,000 Syrian refugees. Abdelbaset Sieda, the President of the Syrian National Council, had called for a no-fly zone move during Friends' of Syria meeting held in Paris, which was attended by several world powers. Sieda had urged for the move to be implemented along the border of Turkey and Jordan in order to protect his nation's people and the country from huge catastrophe and destruction.
The no-fly zone is an attempt to provide 'safe havens' to the refugees. Syria has also been involved in air force attacks and, therefore, this no-fly zone move was called for providing special protection. The opposition of Syria includes rebel fighters, religious minority groups and veteran dissidents. Such a move has been specifically proposed to safeguard the people from artillery bombings and the aircrafts, which are causing massive loss of lives. This move was deliberately called to make the regime realise its eroding powers from the nation. Sieda had renewed the plea to continue with the opposition after U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton had mentioned that Washington and Turkey had discussed various steps, which also included no-fly zone in certain parts of Syria due to escalating air force attacks from the regime.
The newly united Syrian opposition has also received formal recognition from Britain as the 'sole legitimate representative.' The opposition has also gained formal recognition from France on 2012, November, 13. The foreign minister of France, Laurent Fabius, had mentioned that France will take a strong stand on chemical arms. Some Gulf Arab States recognise and have acknowledged the Syrian National Council for the Opposition and Revolutionary forces. On the contrary, United States, most European countries and the Arab League are yet to confirm their recognition, as they are being more cautious on it.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has cut the food rations for people affected during the Syrian full blown war due to cash shortages. The refugees are finding it difficult in other nations to adjust due to no work opportunities; however, they are composed and a little more fearless because of decreased noises of planes hovering in the sky.

Auzex Resources in gold mining JV
PUBLISHED: 15 Feb 2010 15:21:57 | UPDATED: 15 Feb 2010 15:21:57PRINT EDITION: 15 Feb 2010
Mineral exploration minnow Auzex Resources has formed a joint venture with Central China Goldfields to develop the Bullabulling gold project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
Auzex says London-based Central China Goldfields will pay $2.5 million to earn half of the project within a two month timeframe.
"Part of these funds will be used to acquire the project assets from Jervois Mining Ltd," Auzex said in a statement on Monday.
If the deal proceeds as planned, Central China Goldfields will wind up with a 12.9 per cent stake in Auzex.
The issue will be subject to shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting in Brisbane in late March.
Central China Goldfields will also issue about 14 million of its shares to Auzex, giving the Brisbane-based company a 7.1 per cent stake.
"The intention of the parties is to fast track Bullabulling to bankable feasibility within a 12 to 18 month timeframe at an estimated cost of between $2 million and $2.5 million," Auzex chairman John Lawton said.

Lawrence targets Molineux move
iam Lawrence has issued a come-and-get-me-plea to Wolves manager Mick McCarthy after stating his intentions to quit Stoke this summer. The 28-year-old has outlined his hopes of leaving the Britannia Stadium in a bid to stay in the thoughts of Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic of Ireland plans. And the Nottinghamshire-born wideman admits he is a huge admirer of McCarthy's after the Yorkshireman plucked him from Mansfield Town to join Sunderland in 2004. Now, having confirmed his intention to leave the Potters, Lawrence would like to be reunited with the former Republic of Ireland boss at Molineux. "He (McCarthy) gave me my chance when he signed me from Mansfield for Sunderland," Lawrence told the Sunday Mercury. "He's a great manager and he's done an amazing job this year keeping Wolves up. "I've spoken to the manager (Tony Pulis) and told him that I think it's best if I move on. "If I'm not playing regularly the Republic of Ireland manager, he's not daft, he's going to know that I'm going to be rusty and he's not going to take a chance on me."

5 Typical Unreal, its unrealPhused | 02/07/2008 | See all Phused's reviews (19)Words cannot describe how amazed I am at this game. The first thing you will notice are the graphics, the Unreal engine is an amazing thing. The lighting effects are some of the best I have ever seen. It does not do a Halo and just blind you.But as most gamers will tell you, graphics do not make a game, it is the gameplay. This is typical UT, but the weapons feel more balanced. For a console FPS the controls are great and I have not had the framerate stutter once!My favourite thing about the game is that you can play dead, making it seem asif you are a dead body. I have had many a fun moment get people from behind like this!Its also has all the downloadable content released for ps3 and pc and loads of bonus extras making it an even better gameHowever, if you do not like FPS games, i doubt that this game will change your mind. If you are in this situation rent it, however if you do like them what are you waiting for? Ill see you online :)
5 Get itStephenDC | 14/07/2008 | See all StephenDC's reviews (10)You know what, so what if it doesnt have a true campaign mode or no real story. The developers have gone for a risk by placing these bot matches in here instead of a campaign mode. This gives the game a new angle instead of the run-of-the-mill story. It prepares you well for what you are about to be hit by online. The graphics look stunning on or off of an HDTV and theres so much freedom within each level. They are huge!!!!! Ignore the slating of the "story" mode as youll need the practice for online, trust me.
3 2007 graphics, 1999 gameplay.REBiohazard | 24/03/2009 | See all REBiohazard's reviews (3)Gameplay hasnt changed much since the original UT in 1999, apart from vechiles, which were added in UT 2004 (came out in 2003).The game might seem cool and a novelty at first, but after a few days or a week, you will realise that it's a good thing that the industry has moved on to a more tactical based approach rather than just running and blasting everything that moves. Story is pretty much non-existant, yep they actually tried to make a story out of capture the flag. Overall Gears 2 has better graphics, but this still looks better than the original Gears and actually has better textures than both Gears titles on the smaller maps.Still a decent game, but we're not in 1999 anymore, things have changed. If you must get this game, get the PC version, or if you don't have a half decent machine get the PS3 version. Both versions have free mods to download and the tools to create your own.I'd give the 360 version around 7.0 out of 10
3 Falls short of my expectationsmachineboy | 05/11/2008 | See all machineboy's reviews (9)Unreal Tournament 1 was to be fair amazing: it was new the graphics for the time were brilliant and i couldn't get enough off it online or off. So when i saw unreal 3 was coming out i was pretty excited because i thought it would be just like unreal 1 but with better graphics. Not exactly. First of all although the unreal 1 campaign was just a lot of matches like unreal 3 but it didn't try to make a story out of it which this does. And to be honest it really doesn't work because of the Gears of War like characters and i didn't get into the actual story because the missions have nothing to do with it. Saying that Unreal isn't really about the single player so maybe that's a bit harsh. Multiplayer is great online and offline but it is not brilliant like Unreal 1. First of all where has the ripper gone?That was one of the coolest weapon ideas ever. Secondly on Unreal 1 it was possible to snipe a headshot which i don't think is the same as this where it is hard to even find a sniping position which leads me on to the maps. I just don't think they are as good as the Unreal 1 maps which were superb and they all feel a bit samey. I do think the vehicles are good though, i think some of the secondary weapons like the blades are creative and original. XBOX live is very fun and because of the fast pace can be very hectic which is fantastic. Overall Unreal Tournament 3 is a good fps but not as good as Unreal 1 (don't know about the others). This isn't meant to be realisitc like other FPS at all, it's just meant to be a whole load of fun. Which i think it succeeds at very well
3 Not the best....northy | 30/07/2008 | See all northy's reviews (91)Top 100 Games Reviewer Well this is the 1st time ive played UT and it was not what i had hoped for. Felt dated and got repetitive very quickly. As said in other reviews the single player is basicly training for the MP so if your not on Live defently avoid this game.There is much better fps out there in my opinion but if your a die hard fps fan your proberly enjoy this.

Best Actress in a Comedy
You rarely come across a genuine original, especially a truly original performance, but Jessica Austgen is one: sort of pouty, very precise in movement and speech, capable of both absolute gooniness and breathy seduction. I've never seen anything like her lean, mustached Sir Andrew Aguecheek in the Theatre Group's Twelfth Night. But she wins best comic actress for her remarkable melding of innocence, befuddlement, certainty and circuitry as the robot-woman Jacie Triplethree.

Art Annotations
Dubuffet, Jean |
On-Line Art | |
Medium | Art |
Art Form | Oil on canvas |
Keywords | Grief, Love, Mourning, Sexuality |
Summary | An abstract rendering of a widow fills the frame of the painting. Gloriously and erratically colored, she sits confidently upon a chair and looks directly outwards at the viewer. Behind the suggestion of a veil--the vertical lines descending from her head might also be interpreted as hair--she cocks her head and holds an expression upon her face that is difficult to discern. Is she sad? Is she bored? Does she desire a new companion? Dubuffet has accentuated the widow's most feminine attributes: her breasts, hips, and eyes are exaggeratedly large, while her waist is too small, as though confined by the most constricting of corsets. The bright colors of the painting suggest anything but sorrow; instead, like a beautiful bird that attracts a mate with its colorful plumage, this widow seems ready to begin a new affair. |
Commentary | Dubuffet was greatly interested and influenced by the art of amateur artists. He coined the term Art Brut to describe artwork produced by mental patients, prisoners, and children. Dubuffet valued these artists' disregard for intellectual concerns, and what he believed to be their consequent unfettered expression of raw emotion. "A Widow" invites the viewer to confront the morality of a woman desiring to be reattached to a lover soon after the death of her husband. Is there something wrong or evil with seeking sexual consolation after the death of a spouse? What is an acceptable waiting period after one's lover's death before a widow or widower may seek a new lover? What is the role of sexuality in the grieving process? A marvelous companion piece would be Langston Hughes's tongue in cheek poem, "Widow Woman": "I don't want nobody else / And don't nobody else want me // Yet you never can tell when a / Woman like me is free" [p. 204 in anthology, Trials, Tribulations, and Celebrations: African American Perspectives on Health, Illness, Aging and Loss --see this database).] |

(Guide)Battle Janna: Toggle the Avatar!
So last night I found myself trying to formulate a build for Janna that would effectively shift her away from the classic support role and rather fight toe to toe as a hybrid dps champ. My intention was not to build 5 Zeal items and troll a match, but rather construct an effective template that I could use in future matches.
I attempted some very basic research beforehand and was unable to find any suggestions that would fit my criteria. Surprisingly the build I played with was extremely effective and I can certainly say some of the most fun I've had playing this game (close to 700 total matches at this point.) I did have the replay running to record this feat and my current match history will support this as well. I am posting on the forums to gain additional input and potentially brainstorm a more effective build. On to my setup: For Masteries I decided to roll out with the standard 9-0-21 Mage loadout, which to me seems to be the most logical choice. As for runes I am still seemingly undecided as to what would constitute the most potent formula. Until then I will use 9 Magic Penetration Marks, MR per 5 Seals, CDR Glyphs, and Flat HP Quints. I also toyed around with the idea of possibly substituting movement speed quints into the final slot. On a side note I realized that I would need to farm effectively and quickly to construct this build in game so my last hitting was top notch last night. The unconventional build kicks off with a base pair of Boots and 3 health potions, then proceeding to grab an available solo lane. On my next trip back to town I would grab a Guinsoo's Rageblade and follow that up with a Nashor's Tooth. Internally I had difficulty deciding between NT and Malady. After that I would build a Sheen for that extra burst of damage while spamming my spells. The next staple is grabbing Merc Treads. All of the items above I would consider to be the core of the build the rest is up for debate and I am taking this on as a personal project so I would love some good constructive feedback, naturally with the occasional troll. Throughout my four or five trial games last night the following items made an appearance: Rabadon's Deathcap for an AP boost. Hextech Gunblade simply because it is one of my favorite hybrid items, the lifesteal and spellvamp seemed to help in team fights and the double snare was a blast when I found myself in a 1v1 situation. Rylais and Madreds also found their way onto my plate last night. The Madreds was a reaction to 3 Beefy champs building Warmogs and other hp intensive items without the magical resistance to back this up. In the rather long games that I had encountered last night I would cap all of this madness off with a Lich Bane. On this initial post I am not planning on delving into the play style I invoked last night, but most definitely plan on doing so in the future. I will briefly touch upon my skill order because that may determine what items you might recommend! Each match I maxed out Zephyr followed by Eye of the Storm. My priority would be to place a point into Monsoon each time it was available. Finally I started the match with 1 initial point into Howling Gale and made that my lowest priority after wards. Enjoy! ~T0ggle |
It works I've built her simila, and liked the results. I actully went malady instead of rageblade. To help with mpen with madrids and hextech gunblade, frozen mallet vs beefy tanky teams, and liked the results. Vs squishy deathcaps viable for more ap, just please look at your other guides and see, if my style is better. Not a troll, just someone with 2k games played.

OBJECTIVE: Voxel-based morphometry is a method for detecting group differences in the density or volume of brain matter. The authors reviewed the literature on use of voxel-based morphometry in schizophrenia imaging research to examine the capabilities of this method for clearly identifying specific structural differences in patients with schizophrenia, compared with healthy subjects. The authors looked for consistently reported results of relative deficits in gray and white matter in schizophrenia and evaluated voxel-based morphometry methods in order to propose a future strategy for using voxel-based morphometry in schizophrenia research. METHOD: The authors reviewed all voxel-based morphometry studies of schizophrenia that were published to May 2004 (15 studies). The studies included a total of 390 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and 364 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Gray and white matter deficits in patients with schizophrenia, relative to healthy comparison subjects, were reported in a total of 50 brain regions. Deficits were reported in two of the 50 regions in more than 50% of the studies and in nine of the 50 regions in one study only. The most consistent findings were of relative deficits in the left superior temporal gyrus and the left medial temporal lobe. Use of a smaller smoothing kernel (4-8 mm) led to detection of a greater number of regions implicated in schizophrenia. CONCLUSIONS: This review implicates the left superior temporal gyrus and the left medial temporal lobe as key regions of structural difference in patients with schizophrenia, compared to healthy subjects. The diversity of regions reported in voxel-based morphometry studies is in part related to the choice of variables in the automated process, such as smoothing kernel size and linear versus affine transformation, as well as to differences in patient groups. Voxel-based morphometry can be used as an exploratory whole-brain approach to identify abnormal brain regions in schizophrenia, which should then be validated by using region-of-interest analyses.

North Yorkshire woman arrested after fatal car crash
A 41-year-old woman has been arrested after the car she was driving left the road killing a passenger.
The Range Rover was found in a field after it left the A65 in Carseylands Hill, near Skipton, North Yorkshire, on Saturday.
A 48-year-old local man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the arrested woman, who is from North Yorkshire, suffered minor injuries and was being held in custody for questioning.
