The internet is now an integral part of business communication. We buy and sell on it. A benchmark of credibility is whether a company of business has a website.
We buy and sell on the web. Email is a staple of business communication. But where is communications commerce headed next?
Wireless communication has quickly expanded with the development of more powerful networks and devices that offer voice, text, and web access. No matter where you go, there you are.
Much of the capability of the new technology has been used for "social" networking that allows friends and associates to track one another's whereabouts almost continuously. The terms twitter and tweet have become ubiquitous, as have" face book", "my space" other social websites.
But can these applications have commercial use?
Simply put, "social media" is websites that help people connect to each other.
For example, MySpace and Facebook are networking websites that allow friends and families to share pictures and information about each other's lives.
LinkedIn is a "professional" networking site that can connect coworkers or those who worked together in the past.
Social Media may be good for business, but it started as a way for friends and family to stay connected about each other's lives. At first, College kids stayed in touch with each other, and now mom, dad and their grandparents are checking their social media updates to see what's happening.
Nathan Wright/CEO, Lava Row: "One, one value that we see right away um -- a personal example is um sort of following what your kids or grandkids are up to um and just family members. So, my uncle who lives in ah Northeast Iowa has recently joined Facebook and now is connected very efficiently um and connected in a very like hyper-connective way with with me and um and his two daughters. And now they're uploading ah you know photos of their kids on there and keeps ah -- So, he's able to track what I'm up to as well.
He gets these little updates from my Facebook status feed and ah he drives my mother crazy because he now has inside information into my life that she doesn't and then he emails her about it and then and then it drives her nuts. He can kind of sit back and log into Facebook and then get a daily portrait of what family members are up to. Things he may not even know about until like the holidays when we see him."
Then, there's the new kid on the block, Twitter.
The 140 character microblogging site is the frequent target of online satire like these YouTube videos.
(YouTube videos making fun of Twitter.)
"Conversations" chosen are based on an individual's interests. For example, Twitter "parties" include subjects of news organizations, actors, sports teams, and even politicians. The latter group gained national attention/notoriety during President Obama's address to the House and Senate when members were seen on television sending "tweets" during the speech.
Sometimes the Twitter Online "cocktail parties" become real life gatherings. They are called a tweetups. Its a chance for people who get together online, to get together in person ... .. old fashioned communication human to human.
Jeremy Bingaman/@IowaRadioGuy: "My Twitter name is IowaRadioGuy, my name is Jeremy Bingaman, we are here at a Tweetup at the High Life Lounge downtown, we are here to completely just hang out with each other, hang out with friends."
This Des Moines area tweetup happened in a bar and attracted national attention. NBC's The Today Show showed up to shoot a story of a Des Moines man who was "downsized" out of a job. He posted a note about his search for work and he eventually got a new job… another example of how Twitter help people learn more than the 140 character limit.
Nathan Wright: "My name is Nathan Wright and my title here is founder at Lava Row. Lava Row is a social media education and consulting firm."
Nathan Wright left a job at an advertising agency to found Lava Row, located in an office space above a coffee shop in Des Moines' trendy east side. His business helps companies track what is being said about them online in an effort for companies to better serve their customers or clients. Whether under the cover of darkness or the light of day, conversations about business are happening.
Nathan Wright "the immediate benefits are conversations with you customers one on one, listening to them, caring about what they say, um from marketing or marketer's perspective we see a lot of these people um -- clients of ours suddenly thrust into a customer service role because now if you have a page on Facebook for your business or a presence on Twitter people are going to be asking you questions.
And focusing in on that Online "radar", Wright says, can help a company's efforts to better serve its current and potential future customers.
Nathan Wright: "It certainly hasn't replaced in real life conversation but now it's sort of augmented. People are using blogs or podcasts or social networks to sort of leave a conversational footprint out there... products they like, brands they like, things they don't like as well. They're very vocal about it."
Wright adds - the value of social media is the number of potential engagements with potential customers.
Nathan Wright: "Success is based on engagement we feel. So, you look -- a business opens a presence on Twitter or on Facebook and then you want to look at over time how many people are actually engaged with that. Are the people leaving comments, uploading photos of videos to your presence or page on Facebook? Are they actually talking to you on Twitter or is it a one way conversation? And if it's one way you have not been successful yet. You're not providing value or interesting things to your consumer base."

SUBJECT: Double recognition for online contributions to the Annual Programs Fund
In honor of Rotary's birthday, on 23 February 2011 Chairman Stenhammar has approved The Rotary Foundation offering double Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) recognition credit for online contributions of US$100 or more to the Annual Programs Fund.
The opportunity will be open to all Rotarian s worldwide for the day of 23 February 2011. There is no specific time zone associated with this promotion, so Rotarian s around the world can contribute whenever it is 23 February in their time zone. To be eligible for the double recognition credit, Rotarian s must be registered in Rotary's secure Member Access section ofwww.rotary.org. As registration on Member Access can take up to 24 hours, it is important for Rotarian s to register in advance if they wish to participate in this promotion.
While the success of the 18-24 October 2010 online promotion for PolioPlus is the inspiration for this effort, there will be some slight differences for the 23 February promotion. Double PHF recognition credit will be provided to all online contributions of US$100 or more to APF-SHARE. Resulting Foundation Recognition Points (FRP), however, will not be subject to doubling.
The primary sources of communication regarding this promotion will be www.rotary.org and e-mail to club and district officers. A Frequently Asked Questions document will accompany a web announcement, scheduled for 15 February. Questions may be directed to Foundation staff at the Rotary International Office serving your region or to Rotary's Contact Center,email@example.com or by phone, 866.976.8279.

The Five Most Important Proposed New Laws for Florida Animal Lovers
1. "Animal Abuse Registry," by New Port Richey Sen. Mike Fasano
This is probably the most radical bill of the bunch. Called "Dexter's Law," it would treat convicted animal abusers like sex offenders, making them re-register when they move and pay an annual administrative fee, or be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor.
Status: Awaiting vote.
2. "Pari-mutuel Wagering," by Delray Sen. Maria Sachs, Destin Sen. Don Gaetz, and Apalachicola Sen. Bill Montford
As illustrated in New Times' 2009 feature story on the subject, Florida's backwards gambling laws keep the brutal greyhound racing industry alive by requiring establishments to hold a certain amount of dog races in order to have slots and poker games. This bill would finally get rid of that requirement.
Status: Received a 6-4 favorable tally in last subcommittee vote.
3. "Shark Fins," by Bradenton Sen. Mike Bennett
To get shark fins-- an Asian delicacy served in soup -- fisherman slice off the appendage and throw the living animal back into the water to slowly die. Though U.S. vessels are banned from finning, foreign-registered vessels aren't banned. This law would have made Florida the fifth state -- after Hawaii, Washington, Oregon and California -- to prohibit outright the possession, sale and distribution of shark fins.
Status: The bill was withdrawn from consideration on January 17.
4. "Animal Fighting or Baiting," by Miami Gardens Sen. Oscar Braynon and Sen. Montford
This might as well be titled the Michael Vick Bill. The wide-ranging law would increase penalties for staging or being a spectator for any animal fighting and baiting. It would criminalize the possession of animal fighting paraphernalia -- such as "slat mills, treadmills, cat mills, jennys, rape stands, spring poles, flirt poles, break sticks, supplements, drugs, or scales".
Status: Awaiting vote.
5. "Agriculture," by Tampa Sen. Jim Norman
Probably the most backwards bill in the current legislature, the so-called "ag-gag" bill would have made it illegal to film animal abuse at farms and slaughterhouses. Norman openly admitted to sponsoring the bill at the behest of an egg farmer.
Status: After widespread derision, the bill was recently shot down by lawmakers.

The fire at the Indian Oil Corporation depot at Sitapura Industrial Area near here showed signs of abating on the seventh day on Wednesday with only the last of the 11 huge vertical fuel storage tanks still ablaze. The fire is likely to completely die down in another 24 hours when the tank's lids break due to pressure.
Thick black clouds of fumes emanating from the sole burning tank were visible over a stretch of two to three km in the industrial area. Traffic on Tonk Road in front of the fuel terminal as well as in a radius of 500 metres of the site continued to remain closed as a safety measure.
The district administration plans to start its search operations inside the premises once the fire – widely blamed on human negligence – is extinguished. Work in the industrial units and traffic on the Jaipur-Sawai Madhopur railway track situated near the depot will also resume after the IOC gives the safety clearance.
People residing in the colonies near the depot have been complaining of lack of water and power which were cut off since Thursday evening when the fire started. The State Government's Public Health Engineering Department is supplying water to the area through tankers.
The smoke which has enveloped the area has also led to respiratory problems and itching in the eyes among the local residents. Doctors have especially advised the pregnant women to stay away from the polluted area.
While the Sawai Man Singh Medical College here has appointed a five-member committee of specialists to look into the immediate and long-term health fallouts of the devastating fire, the State Homoeopathic Society has prepared a "composite medicine" for treatment of disorders caused by emission of smoke.
Society's management board chairperson Justice V.S. Dave said here that the medicine would be distributed free of cost to the patients at the outlets opened on the campus of the Homoeopathy University being constructed at Sitapura.
Owners of industrial units at Sitapura have rejected the relief package offered by the State Government, saying it was inadequate. Sitapura Industrial Association president S.N. Kabra said the rebates in the shape of waiver of value added tax collection and service tax and fire tax would not compensate for the enormous losses suffered by entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan High Court has asked the State Government to file an affidavit by November 9 providing details of the rescue operations and action to control the fire which has been raging since last Thursday and has claimed 12 lives so far.
Responding to a public interest litigation, a Division Bench of the Court also directed the Advocate General to come up with the steps the State Government was planning to avert such mishaps, leading to loss of life and public property, in future.

Wow! I am very fortunate to be recognized for taking a stand on animal cruelty, and as a vegan athlete!
Here is the blog post on Mercy for Animals website:
Aside from the awesome news, let's talk about today's training sessions that took place at Bone Breaker Barbell…….
After spending all day in Austin trying to get all my paperwork to be a cab driver, I made it home in time to train my first client and kicked her butt haha…….after she left my Gina and our friend Megan wanted me to train them – but I only slept 3.5 hrs last night, so I was ready to crash! But some force inside me rose up and I ended up going out there (Bone Breaker Barbell – my home gym) in the 95 degree humid ass weather and we all blasted chest together……damn glad I went out there and shoved some iron around……..I'll sleep good tonight!
Happy Health to you all!!!!

Trigger-happy snaps
PUBLISHED: 11 Nov 2011 00:03:00 | UPDATED: 10 Feb 2012 16:53:56PUBLISHED: 11 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 11 Nov 2011Take enough photos and you're bound to come up with that one magic shot.
John Davidson
There's a lot to be said for a camera that can take 60 photos in a second. Phrases like "I think you looked more fetching 17 milliseconds earlier", and "Can I borrow another SD card?" spring to mind.
Or how about the message we just got from our PC, as we neared completion of our review of the Nikon V1, Nikon's first entry into the interchangeable lens compact digital camera market: "Your C Drive is low on disk space." Of course that's not entirely the fault of the 3000 or so photos we just took using the V1, where normally we'd only take a few hundred to complete a review. The disk was close to full already. The V1 was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
The V1, together with its little sister the J1, form what Nikon hopes will be the vanguard of a revolution in digital photography: a brand new image sensor format (known as the CX, it's bigger than a small sensor but smaller than the sensor on competing formats such as Micro Four Thirds), coupled with super fast auto focusing and that ridiculously fast 60 frame-a-second shooting rate, all packaged in cameras designed more for the beginner than the serious amateur.
We're yet to be convinced by the concept, though. While we had an awful lot of fun using the V1, and while it opened up types of photography we've never really bothered with before (shooting at 60 fps for half a second at a time, you can drop eggs and bounce balls in front of the camera, and stand a chance of photographing the moment of impact), we nevertheless have to say we were a little disappointed by the images the camera produced.
Compared to a Panasonic G3 or a Sony NEX, cameras that fit roughly into the same category as the V1, the Nikon's images didn't look as good: they had a lot less detail and a lot more noise when shot at almost identical settings. But what they lacked in quality they made up for in sheer volume, and that actually does count for something, especially for the beginners the camera is designed for.
Take enough photos of your family and friends at a high frame rate, and you're bound to come up with that one magic shot.
You see, the V1 has a unique mode, known as the Smart Photo Selector Mode, in which it takes multiple photos every time you press the shutter button, and then presents you with what it thinks are the five best of those photos.
If, for instance, the camera detects faces in the scene, it will assume you're shooting portraits, and choose the five photos with the biggest smiles, or the least amount of red eye, or the prettiest girls, or something. Having tested that function a good deal, we're still not exactly sure what all the selection criteria are, to be honest.
What's interesting about the Smart Photo Mode Selector Feature is that it starts working even before you actually take the photo. As soon as you focus the lens by half pressing on the shutter button, the camera starts snapping silently away, and only stops snapping either when you release your finger (in which case it discards all the photos) or when you press the shutter button all the way down to take the photo, in which case it sifts through the dozens of photos it has taken and saves the best five.
That means that, if someone happens to look at the camera while you're focusing, but then stops looking before the photo is taken, you still stand a decent chance of capturing their face in your final photo.
I say "decent chance" there, because the feature often worked in our tests, but not always.
We did tests where we got the subject to smile some seconds before the shutter button was fully depressed, but then frown just as the picture was taken. Most of those tests worked as advertised: the camera produced five photos every time the shutter button was pressed, and typically two or three of those were of the subject smiling.
But another test, where we got the subject to look at the camera while the shutter button was half pressed, and then obscure his face just moments before the shutter button was fully depressed, didn't work: all five of the photos from each button press came out with the subject's face obscured.
Though, for the record, the subject in that latter test was me, and it's possible the camera was correctly applying one of its many rules when it decided the world was better off with my face obscured. The "no pets" rule, perhaps. I think I might go shave off my beard now.

Improving 1D Data with 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics
Improving 1D thermo-fluid system automotive engine data with 3D CFD
By Joe Proulx, Mentor Graphics
When working with larger cooling systems that incorporate several components such as heat exchangers, thermostats, coolant pumps and different cooling cycles like oil and coolant, a 1D CFD simulation tool is the common choice for thermal analysis. Whereas when considering an automotive engine cooling system, which is rather more complex when taking into account their transient behaviors with corresponding drive cycles and system reactions with all components, becomes even more complex on any changes in flow rates or temperatures.
However, such systems can only be as accurate as the data that is supplied to them. One way to improve accuracy would be to get component data and characteristics from measurements. If however components are still in the design stage, building a prototype and measuring them can be extremely expensive. Mentor offers a direct interface by coupling CAD embedded CFD software FloEFD™ with system simulation software Flowmaster®, resulting in a CFD characterized model as a component in the Flowmaster system.
A recent paper for the SAE World Congress, (Quantifying the Accuracies between a 1D and 3D Model for Heat Transfer Calculations with an Engine) demonstrates the use of coupled 1D-3D simulation.
Description of the problem
It is well known that bringing the engine up to normal operating temperature quickly after starting is the best way to improve vehicle efficiency. The engine and complimentary components, along with the coolant and oil, all start out cold. By remanding the heat to the engine during the warm up period, efficiencies during the startup cycle of a vehicle can be improved.
A combination of 1D and 3D CFD can be utilized to determine the optimal design. Each type of simulation has its virtues, whilst 1D simulation can run long transient simulations quickly it can lack some detail. 3D simulations on the other hand can accurately simulate details of solid components but tends to be slower in regard to transients.
An engine system has many components and as a consequence, as the design develops not all the pieces are ready at once. As well as this, obtaining vital data can take time, so an efficient design process incorporating engine cooling data obtained through testing can be supplied to the 1D simulation tool for analysis. Should the component require modifications through the design cycle, testing will need to be repeated. Conversely, if testing has not been performed and all that is available is empirical data to quantify the engine, then accuracy could come into question. These types of approaches can be time consuming or inaccurate. In this instance the engine block and head were available as CAD models and the majority of the details of the 1D model were already in place making a 1D-3D approach ideal.
How CFD was used
A CAD model of the engine block and head was use for the 3D simulation. Figure 2. shows the coolant and oil flow paths. When setting up the power boundary conditions in the model, the portion of heat that is dissipated from the combustion into the cylinder walls was applied as a constant. The value of heat used for this dissipation was developed from earlier experimental data and the imposed drive cycle. Goals were set in the model to automatically capture flow versus heat transfer coefficients for each fluid. Air around the engine and head also contributed to the cooling through natural convection.
Once the base case was setup, an array of 9 models was run using a parametric study. The study was created to vary coolant and oil flow. Heat dissipations in the motor were also varied. Once the array of 9 CFD models was run, the data was then compared to empirical data according to Dittus-Boelter.
The solution and results
The 3D simulation was setup in a short time and the results from the parametric study were imported as a new component into Flowmaster for the overall system simulation of the transient drive cycle.
The graph in figure 3 below shows a significant difference in the methods used to quantify the heat transfer from the engine to the coolant. Heat transfer coefficients from the engine to the coolant had differences as high as 20% between hand calculation and 3D CFD simulations.
This shows that the overall accuracy when using 3D simulation data is far more accurate than hand calculations. The overall process of characterizing a component for a range of working parameters as done in the paper enables to system designer to evaluate any changes in the system with the same component over and over much faster than a direct 1D-3D coupling where a 3D transient simulation is the major bottleneck in the calculation time.
Concluding thoughts
As shown here the detailed simulation versus hand calculation can be significantly different. Use of a validated CFD tool such as FloEFD, as opposed to a single empirical formula can greatly improve the accuracy of the data used in a 1D simulation like with Flowmaster. A single empirical formula fails to capture all of the details and differences within a detailed design. As can be seen in figure 4, there are many details in the geometry and in the results that a single formula cannot capture.
The perceived advantage of the empirical formula is that it takes less than a half hour to develop. However, in the amount of time it takes to look up the formulas, a model could be setup and a run initiated in FloEFD. From there it is only a matter of 2 days of computing time to create the data from the 3D simulation. A trade off that is well worth it for the vast improvement in accuracy.
Since FloEFD is embedded within the CAD tool, any design changes to the engine and block make it easy to capture the performance changes. If there are any changes to the engine or block, the 3D simulation could be re-run with no additional setup, thereby keeping the data current. This allows the engine and block to be developed concurrently with the 1D simulation.
As we follow along this analysis method we will see difference in the 1D modeling. A follow on paper is expected to be delivered that highlights the differences in the 1D analysis.

In the beginning was Man…and Man was lonely. Although he was given animal companions (Lion, Bear, and Eagle) called Kindreds, still there was a longing for more. Father, all too aware of His creation's inner desires, dispatched an angel named Eva. The pairing ultimately exacerbated the situation—the crux coming from Man's misplaced and, at the time, unfamiliar physical response during the throes of a spirited debate. Father heeded the call as Man cried out and quickly put him to sleep.

Snow in 49 of 50 States - 475
On Tuesday, a map of the contiguous United States went viral (above), depicting 47 states with snow (though Alaska and even Hawaii have the white stuff, too). That's right: 49 states have snow, with Florida staying true to its title as Sunshine State.
According to CNN, the snow storms blowing through the Midwest and especially the south to southeast dumped a lot of snow this week. The storm systems have begun to merge as the southern storm gathers its strength over the Atlantic, with another snowpocalypse over the Northeast imminent. Though 32 total states already effecting a snow advisory, major cities are already digging themselves out of the snow. Air travel—which was near impossible under similar conditions in December—is expected to slow down, but because the holiday season is over, flights aren't expected to be as full, easing rebooking of passengers.

Review of Tonk by George Fendal
Jazz Society of Oregon
Tonk – A Tribute To Ray Bryant, Vol. 2; Lenny Marcus, piano, flute, vocals.?Ray Bryant had a certain open, bluesy sound with chords seemingly from heaven. It turns out that Bryant, who passed away in 2011, was Lenny Marcus's teacher and mentor and a best friend of Marcus Sr. So it's entirely sensible that Marcus should follow his earlier RB tribute with Volume 2. His basic trio of Rick Eckberg, bass, and Larry Scott, drums, is augmented here and there with additional instrumentation. And Marcus keeps these proceedings squarely in Bryant's corner with a very bluesy orientation and a swinging menu from the first notes. How could he do otherwise on a tribute to this great Philly giant? There are 16 tunes in all, ranging from evergreens such as "C Jam Blues," "Old Devil Moon," and "St. Louis Blues," to Bryant blues specials such as "Slow Freight," "Up Above the Rock," "Break Tune in G," and two of Ray's best, "Blues #2 and #3." These — and all the others on this disc — remind us of the individuality, the fresh and invigorating vitality, and the reliably joyful sound that was, plain and simply, in the DNA of Ray Bryant.?Self-Produced; 2013; appx. 58 minutes.
Distant Dream Review by Rotcod Zzaj
Folks, it just doesn't get much mo' down & phonk-y than this… you'll be hooked (as was I) from the opening bar of "Seven Ate Nine" right to the last note of "Ode To The Night"… 16 tracks that will have you in jazz heaven (somethin' to do with dreams, maybe?) perpetually! Lenny's keyboards are joined by a whole host of "on" players, & the recording is superbly done. The sax work (Tom Artwick) on the opening to "Five Little Stars" serves as a perfect opening for each of the other players to show their jazz skills… simple, yet beautiful jazz that you won't soon forget. My personal favorite tune was "Happy Blues For Two"… this is an all-round jazz journey that gets a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from me, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.97. Get more information at Lenny's site.
THIS IS BOOK'S MUSIC Review of Sun Ray
Sun Ray: A Tribute To Ray Bryant (self-released) is an album that shows the utmost respect for jazz, a musician, and a friend. The album by the Lenny Marcus Trio (Marcus on piano, Larry Scott on drums, and Rick Eckberg on bass) is the kind of diversity and jazz you come to love, expect, and respect from albums released throughout the 1960?s, where you'll hear a bit of be-bop, something traditional, a bit of Brasilia with a dash into bossa nova, and a ballad or two, and the playing here is very exquisite. Everyone on this album stands out, but when Marcus gets into a mean solo, as he does in "Cubano Chant", you can not only hear hints of what Marcus taught up, but Marcus offering acknowledgment to his mentor. It gets quite deep when you hear one of three Marcus originals, the title track that might make a few hip-hop producers go "oh!, I want to use that". Not without permission, of course. Impressive album from start to finish.

FOX Soccer Exclusive
Draws have Nigeria under pressure
There is, perhaps, only one job in football less secure than that of being Chelsea's manager. That is to be the manager for Nigeria.
Nigerian managers are appointed, and then they are sacked, sometimes because of results – for there is no public nor media so demanding as the Nigerian public and media – and sometimes for obscure political reasons.
Stephen Keshi has molded a gifted young side that is still developing. Nigeria didn't lose a single game in 2012, yet now successive 1-1 draws in the Cup of Nations have placed him under intense scrutiny.
In the first, against Burkina Faso, Nigeria seemed comfortable in a 1-0 lead, then had Efe Ambrose sent off for a soft second booking and conceded an equalizer in the final minute of injury-time. On Friday, the Super Eagles were again undone by a late equalizer, this time an 85th-minute penalty converted by the Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene after Eddy Onazi had been harshly penalized for a push on Emmanuel Mayuka.
Nigeria had been the better side until then and missed a first-half penalty of its own, John Obi Mikel scuffing against the post – the fourth successive game in Cup of Nations finals in which Zambia's opponent has missed from the spot.
Keshi had every reason to be frustrated – his goalkeeper and captain Victor Enyeama called the penalty decision "bizarre… one of the worst decisions in the history of football" – and yet he was phlegmatic afterwards. "I'm not sure of it was a penalty," he said. "But we have to press ahead."
It was a characteristic response from Keshi. He is tough and single-minded, seemingly unflappable. He was an uncompromising central defender and captain when Nigeria last won the Cup of Nations, in 1994, and he is a tough and uncompromising manager, as Obafemi Martins, Peter Odemwingie and Shola Ameobi have found out. He is a large man who seems larger, authority radiating from him. His standard mode is gently mocking humor.
Keshi also has no illusions as to the expectations heaped upon his squad. "Nigeria has a standard in African and world football and Nigerians want to go back to these glorious times," he said. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. It has produced as many top-class players as anywhere else on the continent, and yet it has won only two Cups of Nations. It won Olympic gold in 1996 but has stuttered since, failing even to qualify for last year's Cup of Nations.
Keshi is preaching patience. "If we want to go back we need to develop," he said. "I've never seen a house built in a day. In our case we want to start today and win tomorrow." He is also demanding absolute commitment – a supposed lack of which cost Odemwingie his place in the squad. John Obi Mikel, even, found himself briefly omitted from the squad because his focus on the national team seemed less than absolute.
Given the potential distractions and the hysteria that always surrounds the Nigeria squad, it's pretty much the only policy with a chance of success. Countless Nigeria teams have been derailed by internal squabbles. "Everybody wants to tell you who to play, how to play," Keshi said. "If you have 10 Nigerians, you'll have 10 line-ups. You have to close your eyes and your ears and do what you think."
Even with his attempts to impose discipline, there was discord after Nigeria's draw against Burkina Faso. "After the match they shouted, they quarreled, they told themselves the truth," Keshi said. "But by the time we got to the hotel, they were friends again, playing tennis, table soccer and teasing each other. So that let me know that they are up for it."
Some tension, of course, can be creative, and the spirit within the Nigeria camp seems strong. On Thursday, the Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, spoke to the team for half an hour and then sang a birthday song for Keshi, who turned 51 on Wednesday. The message is one of collective responsibility and it seems to be working. At past tournaments, the slightest hint of underperformance has led to panic and emergency meetings with the federation (NFF) and the sports ministry. Keshi did talk with NFF officials earlier in the week, but he insisted it was a routine meeting.
Zambia's coach, Herve Renard, meanwhile, remains as suave and charismatic as ever. He sounds like Arsene Wenger but in his pristine "lucky" white shirt, the top couple of buttons always undone, he resembles a great romantic adventurer. His shirt, which had to be partially covered by a neat back jacket as Nigeria was wearing white (Keshi had to cover his regulation green T-shirt with a brown bib as Zambia was wearing green; Renard doesn't do bibs), continues to work its magic. He has worn white in 12 of the 13 games he's coached at the Cup of Nations; the only one he's lost was the other one (3-2 against Cameroon in 2010, when he wore blue).
Last year's triumph makes him untouchable – "it is better to win something and run behind it all your life than never to win," he said – but the flaws in this Zambia side, for all its spirit, are becoming increasingly obvious. The defensive organization is not quite there, while Christopher Katongo, who operates just behind the front man, is yet to rediscover the form of last year.
Nigeria is overdue success; Zambia is still riding the wave of last year's unexpected triumph. Nigeria labors under the pressure of expectation; Zambia's positive outlook seems to bring it luck. Nigeria has been the better side in both games so far and yet has won neither; Zambia has been severely tested in both and yet has lost neither.
Nigeria must beat Ethiopia in its final game to secure qualification for the quarter-final; Zambia must beat Burkina Faso. Nigeria has played better in the tournament so far, but as it continues to battle its neuroses, Zambia is probably the more optimistic.

This year I fell for the Japanese Tenkara method of fly-fishing, hook line and sinker one might say and I'm trying an experiment to make a couple of bamboo tenkara rods using the bamboo that thrives in my backyard.
The steps are pretty simple…..
(1) Select and cut two eleven foot pretty straight bamboo sections….completed
(2) Dry these for several months, tied to a straight rod to make sure they don't curl….completed
(3) Cut into 2 sections and attach ferrules (I made sure to cut at same thickness so that the sections are interchangeable)….completed
(4) Using a blowtorch heat and straighten the rod at each bamboo joint. Actually very easy…..completed
(5) Sand down each of the joints….completed
(6) make a cork handle for one rod. The other has a nice bamboo root rhizome that will do as a handle,,,,to do.
(7) Attach the little tip core to which the tenkara line is knotted…..to do
(8) Put on a little decorative whipping…..to do
(9) Varnish the rodes with tung oil……to do
The bamboo must have a lot of natural sugars in it. When you heat for bending it forms a wonderful caramel colored glossy finish which you can see in the photo.
I feel good about this. By next spring I should have 2 nice bamboo tenkara rods and I can't wait
4/14 update…..tried out one of the rods on the FFO section of Ridly Creek….no trout but eventually got a purple dace on a dry fly…cool.

What: Alaska Marine Highway Ferry System
Where: Alaska's Inner Passage
Perfect for: Independent travelers dying to see Alaska's spectacular scenery but who'd never book a regular cruise.
Youth Factor: There really aren't a lot of highways out herethat's what the ferry system is for. But these local boats use the same routes as the megaships, so savvy adventurers can cruise ultracheap and avoid the tourists. Fly into Juneau, then head wherever you want. You don't even need to book ahead. Tip: Our first leg would be to the old gold rush town of Skagway, which takes around four hours and costs less than $50. (It's more for a cabin, but you can also pitch a tent on a special deck.)
Cruise Mates: Commuters.
High Seas: Traveling as the locals do translates into Alaskan authenticity: Lunch on a reindeer sausage from a street cart in Juneau, or get invited by new friends to catch pizza and a movie at Anchorage's Bear Tooth Brew Theatrepub, a hot spot with loony locals (www.beartooththeatre.net). You can always partake in tourist activities such as a helicopter tour, but since you'll book directly instead of using a cruise line's middleman, you'll save bucks.
Rough Sailing: These are public transportation boats, not commercial cruise ships, so the comfort level is more Staten Island Ferry than QE2.
The Deal: Alaskan ferry rides start at $38 per person, $57 for cabins.

In November 2012, Mark Burns-Williamson was elected by the public as the first West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and was given responsibility for the way in which policing is delivered in West Yorkshire. This includes setting policing priorities through a Police and Crime Plan and then spending the police budget in a way that addresses these priorities.
Police and Crime Panel
Police and Crime Commissioner ElectionsThe Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 was passed by parliament on Thursday, 15 September 2011 and one of the key parts of the Act was to introduce the role of an elected police and crime commissioner for each of the 41 police force areas in England and Wales outside London.Each police force area held an election on Thursday, 15 November 2012 for the first Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).How can I find out more?The Electoral Commission for information about the elections on 0120 7271 0500 or visit www.aboutmyvote.co.ukThe Home Office for information about candidates on 0800 1070708 or visit www.choosemypcc.org.uk

Hey everyone. Love the community here. I picked up my HV20 last week after reading and lurking here for about a month, I have learned a lot but still consider myself a n00b.
I run a PC with E6600 2.4ghz Core2Duo and 4GB ram (only 3.25GB avail in 32 bit XP) - Windows XP. Sata drives.
I capture my video from the camera with Vegas 8 or HDVsplit. Then import the m2t files into Vegas. Much of the editing I have done so far is very basic. Mostly taking clips and rendering them out as WMV format at various HD settings (720p, 1080) to play back on the Xbox360.
Here is my question: based on my machine type mentioned above, and how I describe what I have been doing, should a 30 sec. clip take nearly 12-14 mins to encode / render ?
If it does that's fine. But I fear I may be doing something wrong. I have searched the forums for a day looking for some sort of benchmark to measure against but nothing turned up that helped me.
Thanks for your input and help.

Seeing how 2001 is irreversibly behind us, and 2010 is just behind the corner, I feel some unrest that not only there are still no flying cars, but also that I have to actually drive my car every weekday morning to work, instead of using that time to drink my cup of coffee. It's one thing to enjoy driving, the road, fresh air, the scenery. But when I'm in traffic of thousand other cars, surrounded by traffic lights, smog, billboards and stress, it's not driving anymore. It's more of a struggle to get from point A to point B. In such cases being behind the wheel could be quite a chore.
Being able to read morning news, drink a cup of coffee, or work right from the car when traffic is extremely heavy… All these thoughts push me to write my view of how a fully autonomous vehicle is automated.
The EUREKA Prometheus Project and more recent DARPA Grand Challenge have all concentrated primarily on the car itself. And while perfecting automation of single entity is definitely a worthwhile pursuit, I do not think it alone will be enough for driverless car to become a reality. Isolated intelligence is limited in it's isolation, and as deviation from reality could constantly grow, it will inevitably need human intervention. So instead of reading newspaper and sipping your favorite drink, you'll need to pay attention to the road anyway, just in case your driverless car will mistaken something for something. This makes driverless car not driverless at all, but driver assisted.
I think we need to automate more than a car. Not to the point of building wireless transmitters every hundred meters, but enough to keep most events under control. My idea is comprised of three aspects of automation:
- Automated car
- Distributed Arbiter
- Road State Database
First, the automated car. For my implementation the current state of car automation stemming from above mentioned projects is already advanced enough. Therefore primary changes will be mainly related to integration with the other two aspects.
Distributed Arbiter is a relaying device with limited intelligence that will be installed into every traffic light. It will be able to make decisions on local level, like guide an automated car through intersection, or stop an automated car if there is an immediate danger. It's primary function is to control incoming cars by means of synchronizing with it's immediate peers and Road State Database and also by radar-like scanning of it's assigned side of intersection for potentially dangerous situations (e.g. incoming manually controlled vehicles, pedestrians, etc.). Communication components are active radar to scan the immediate vicinity for moving objects, wireless communication module operating in regulated frequency ranges to communicate with automatic vehicles, and wred communication module, to communicate with peer distributed arbiters and Road State Database. Device is always installed as part of standard traffic light system, inside a traffic light. This provides for best overview of immediate area for radar scanning and backward compatibility with manual vehicles – using standard light signals to control their movement.
Decision intelligence will be central in form of Road State Database (RSD). RSD will gather information about state of road segments (stretches of road between traffic lights), congestion, road accidents, road works, etc… and based on these facts system will make a decision of where the car should go. A central decision point, it's primary functions are to collect state information from every distributed arbiter and communicate decisions back to arbiters. Whenever any distributed arbiter detects a change, it is reported to RSD. Based on that information RSD calculates best path to take for automated vehicles, taking into account vehicle capabilities (maximum speed and acceleration), segment length and its speed limit, number of arbiters in path, congestion calculated from queue size before arbitration, average segment transit time as compared to predicted time (e.g. unknown obstacle), unreachable arbiters (untrusted segment). Segment in this case means stretch of a road between two arbitration points, usually two intersections.
The concept
After entering an automated car, a passenger will enter intended destination. The car will not actually care too much about the destination. It's only signal will be to start moving. An arbiters or similar low cost guiding device that will be installed near parking areas (e.g. near light bulb of lamp posts for redundancy and high overview) will guide the car to the nearest Distributed Arbiter along the road segment. When in proximity of Distributed Arbiter, following actions will take place:
- Traffic light and distributed arbiter informs the car of it's presence and commands the position to wait for signal in case the decision will not be made by then.
- Car acknowledges receipt of command and information. If it does not, the traffic light goes to first step and increments an error counter.
- Car sends information about it's destination, which distributed arbiter relays to Road State Database.
- Since Road State Database (RSDB) has complete overview of all states of all Distributed arbiters and destination addresses, it makes a firm decision on where the car should go. If some roads are congested, it will route the car to longer but much less congested direction. If there is distributed arbiter failure, it will route the car to the working one. RSDB will have at least all the robustness of OSPF routing protocol.
- Distributed arbitrer informs all of it's immediate neighbors servicing the intersection about the RSDB decision.
- Neighbors confirm the information and all synchronize the state of their input queues (queue length, queue tendency, dangerous behaviour, fast incoming vehicles etc.)
- Distributed arbiter either commands the car (informs it about decision) including time to carry out the Command, or commands it to hold.
- Car acknowledges the command.
- In this case, the command from arbiter was to turn right. Car follows predetermined path guided by arbiter at the time when the situation was safe enough for time to cross intersection. This is achieved by synchronizing timers and every arbiter scanning it's own side of the intersection for potentially dangerous situation (e.g. manually controlled cars).
- After change is completed, in this case since a car cleared left the input queue of one arbiter and moved to the output queue of another arbiter, all changes are synchronized by all immediate arbiters to the RSD. This process can optionally be optimized that only one arbiter synchronizes the state to RSD on behalf of the intersection.
- RSD acknowledges new state back to the arbiter(s).
Car then travels along a road segment, from one traffic light to another, constantly being guided by arbiters and RSD, until destination is reached. Destination will be communicated by last arbiter in form of "travel 850 meters, then find a place to park". This info will be generated by RSD based on presence of parking areas. Local parking lot arbiter will then guide an automated car to the parking spot.
Passenger will then be notified of arrival.

The texture of this is very thick and creamy , the smell is very strong and unpleasant. I did not find myself enjoying use of this, although my hands became smooth and soft my nail area did not respond well to this. Too expensive, used it up and moved on...
I tried this for the first time the other day. The moisturizing benefits were good but hardly impressive. That didn't kill it for me because I'm not nearly as dry in the summer as I am in the winter. So this could be a nice warm weather hand cream. The smell is what killed this for me. Upon application, the smell was pretty at first. It reminded me of the fragrant pink roses that grew in my family's yard as a child. Within a minute it became totally rancid and sour smelling! It was unbearable, almost like urine! I hate that it turned that way because I really wanted to love this. They should make this fragrance free.
More reviews by CarolinaMidwife
This works really well for me with one caveat: use it BEFORE your hands get cracked. When I used it on my already cracked hands it burned. That said, used preventatively this product worked very well for me and my hands get as dry as parchment in the winter.
I have to admit, I'm pretty rough with my hands. When I need a quick repair after realizing how dry and rough my hands are, I use a dab of Time On Your Hands and voila!, my hands are soft and smooth. It's quickly absorbed and non-greasy. The only complaint I have would be the smell - kind of plasticy and stink.
I got this with a kit for travel to DisneyWorld. I packed it thinking I wouldn't use it. I was wrong. I used it and Soul Owner constantly. One night, I had a bit too much on so, without thinking, I swiped a smidge under my eyes. I have terrible undereye dryness and puffiness. Imagine my shock when I discovered this makes a helluva eye cream. Better than Hope in a Tube for sure. My undereye area is smooth and a tad less puffy (nothing will take away genetic bags). My hands are smooth too. As a hand cream, this could be expensive and there ARE other products out there just as good (Gold Bond lotion, for one). As an eye cream, it's killer. I'm stocking up.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this for a week. I train horses for a living, so I'm outside all day and I have a helluva tan! I have dry hands as I never put lotion on during the day. I'm riding, or cleaning stalls, or giving horses a bath.....no point putting lotion on. It's gone in a second. I've started putting Time on My Hands on my hands at night. Yesterday I noticed that there is literally a line separating my hands from my wrist.....my hands are smoother looking then look at my wrist and arms and they look different! Almost like someone surgically removed my hands and put someone else's hands with nicer skin on my arms. I didn't realize how damaged my skin was until yesterday. This stuff is too expensive to put on my arms, shoulders, neck and everywhere the sun hits me, so I think I'll try Paula's Choice BHA lotion or something. But I do recommend this product as I can see it works!
This is really nice stuff! It really softened my hands; I go rock climbing often, so I have pretty developed calluses. I need the calluses for climbing so I was worried that using this stuff would break them down, but not so (which in retrospect may not be a plus to others)! It just made my hands touchably soft and smooth, and made me happy. :) Unfortunately also from climbing chalk I have some flaky skin at my finger tips, and it didn't help much with that. All in all a great product though, and one jar should last you a while.
I really love this hand lotion. In just about a week, with the use of the 1 oz tube that comes with the Birthday Girl set, I have noticed a difference in my hands. My ragged cuticles and dry, rough, partially callused sides of thumbs, have healed, and the top of my hands doesn't look as dry or old. I'm 37 now and have protected my face and neck vigiliantly, but my hands have been rather neglected. Many other hand creams and lotions haven't done much for me, but in using this at night, I have really seen a difference. The cream itself is not oily, sinks in well and is thick/rich without being greasy. I like the nice lavender/eucalyptus smell - it makes my room smell nice at night, too. The price is also very reasonable. I am definitely buying a larger size when the 1 oz tube runs out, as I did with the foot cream (Soul Owner) as well. Really great product.
I don't have dry hands, but was looking for an anti-aging product for the back of my hands. I use this every night before I go to bed, and that's enough to keep my hands hydrated the next day. My cuticles have also been much better since I started using this. They were quite ragged and sore before.
Not that this is such a bad product, but I just don't see any specific results. I keep the pot I received as a gift in my desk at work and dip in for a small fingerful throughout the day. Using this small of an amount allows for just a thin layer all over, and I'm typing again without any greasies in less than a minute. In fact, I applied some at the start of this review, and it's almost soaked in all the way. There's definitely a barrier, though; feels like it's loaded with lots of silicones. This doesn't particularly smell like chemicals to me--more like the "ozone" scent someone else mentioned. Not special, but not unpleasant. Would not repurchase due to the price and unsanitary jar, however, I'll use this up.

Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Ducane Affinity 3100 offers good cooking performance and solid construction but few extras. With stainless steel on the hood and front panels, it sports the commercial look that's so popular these days. However, the side tables are sturdy plastic so they won't show smears and spills and can be wiped up easily. Because the tank installs from the front or the rear, we found hooking it up easier than on most grills. Well-illustrated directions should make it easy to assemble this one if you want to do it yourself. ducane.com.

Circuit-bending rock band CMKT4 will be in Cincinnati September 26th and will be stopping by Hive13 to lead a workshop on building bottle cap contact microphones. The workshop will start at 2:00pm and last about three hours. The last hour or so will include a performance by the band while the handmade microphones dry.
Participants will be able to purchase contact microphone kits from CMKT4 and build them for $15. Additional kits of parts can be purchased for $10 for those that want to build more than one microphone. Hive13 will provide the soldering tools needed.
