Previously on Survivor: Islands and jerks. A lot of islands, but really, even more jerks.
We approach a fog-shrouded tower that looks rather like the Filthy Wedding Cake Of The Damned, and then we pause for a glance at speed-demon footage of clouds blowing across a rising sun. That stands for mysticism. The mist hangs over the trees. Ruins jut up toward the clouds. And then, Jeff Probst is staring out at us, and we realize that Just For Men hair color is this year's Pontiac Aztek. He watches us earnestly, as he walks toward the camera and declares that these ruins are "thousands of years old." Even older than his shtick. But I kid Jeff Probst! The ruins are what is left of a "powerful and sophisticated civilization," making them the perfect place for -- you know it -- pixelized asses. I mean, whatever deity you worship, you've got to be able to get behind that. Drums pick up as we jolt all around the ruins and all around Guatemala and quite possibly all around Margaritaville, judging by all the disembodied palm trees. Probst mentions the Maya and their "advanced celestial knowledge," and their resulting "uncanny ability to calculate time." Of course, in the end, the entire culture "mysteriously vanished," just like Atlantis and Playing It Straight.
Jeff reminds us of the "exotic and dangerous wildlife." "I am exotic!" says a passing monkey. "I am dangerous!" adds a furry spider. A couple of jaguars, a poisonous snake, and a crocodile round out the Love Boat-style rundown of the entire cast. ("Starring this terrifying, eye-gouging crow as Your Yeoman Purser.") Probst tells us that the environment is "unforgiving," just like members of the jury, and that "even the strongest" will be brought "to their knees." Just like Joey.
We get our first shot of the new Survivors as Jeff says that this "group of Americans" (Bite it, Canada! Try again, France! Smell ya later, Trinidad and Tobago!) will begin "the adventure of a lifetime." (As opposed to the adventure of Lifetime, which involves being stalked by Antonio Sabato, Jr.) Jeff says that the teams have been divided into tribes, and that they're currently "hiking to a destination unknown." I love it when Jeff makes with the tortured syntax. Hott! We watch the survivors, all of whom have been through the jungle on a hike with no name, and then there's this thing that looks like the universally feared Screeching Tree Monkey Bear, and things are beginning to seem kind of dicey for these innocent actor/waiter/bartenders. Jeff explains that the strangers will "create a new society," which he just keeps on saying every season, even though it's stupid now. Although I would like to see them become a matriarchal commune sometime, just to screw with production. Blah blah blah, million dollars, spider and scorpion conspiring together, escalating music, Probst: "Thirty-nine days! Eighteen people! One survivor!" He's totally not hanging out of a plane or anything, either. He's just standing at the top of a big wad of ruins. Like, unless they want me to be afraid the rocks are going to fall on him, that's a huge letdown.

Germantown leads push for low-power FM in safety
When the "Hurricane Elvis" windstorm of 2003 left some Germantown residents in the dark for days, a radio station programmed by city government could have kept them informed.
"We wanted to advise people on what they needed to do to get downed trees, trash and debris to streets," said Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy.
"At some points, we've actually sent post cards to everybody," Goldsworthy said.
That's why Germantown views low-power FM radio -- opportunities for local, nonprofit stations the Federal Communications Commission created in 2000 -- as the answer to its communications problem.
But nationwide, and particularly in urban areas with FM radio dials crowded with stations, advocates of low-power radio have been frustrated by Congress and politics for years.
Arizona Senator and likely Republican presidential candidate John McCain in a 2006 statement to the Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee described the situation this way:
"Because they feared competition, the National Association of Broadcasters claimed low-power FM stations would interfere with their broadcasts."
In response, Congress ordered the FCC to conduct an independent study, which took almost two years and cost most than $2 million. That study confirmed that low-power FM will do no harm to other broadcasters, McCain said.
The NAB continues to defend its position.
"The idea that hundreds, if not thousands, of additional low-power FM stations can be shoe-horned into an overcrowded radio dial without causing considerable interference simply defies the laws of physics," Dennis Wharton,NAB executive vice president, said in a statement in November.
National Public Radio shares similar concerns, although Mike Riksen, vice president for policy in Washington, said NPR is not against low-power FM.
"We continue to support changes that strengthen low-power services, as long as they don't undermine existing services,"Riksen said Friday.
Yet another obstacle for low-power FM emerged in 2003. The FCC offered an opportunity for thousands of new licenses for "translator stations" that relay radio station or satellite signals and compete with low-power FM for space on the airwaves.
Religious radio broadcasters, in particular, have discovered that translator stations help spread the word.
The Media Access Project, a nonprofit media and telecommunications law firm in Washington, reports that with one full-power radio station in Tupelo, American Family Radio uses 170 translators linked by satellite to reach 28 states.
However, the FCC is in the process of making rules that could settle that issue and the objections of full-power radio stations in favor of low-power FM.
In Congress, the Local Community Radio Act would lift the restrictions imposed in 2000. McCain is the Republican sponsor of the bipartisan bill in the Senate. The act is attracting support in the House and both Democratic presidential candidates also support it, said Pete Tridish, founder of the Prometheus Radio Project in Philadelphia.
"I think we're going to pass it," Tridish said.
Frank Bluestein,executive producer of GHS-TV Channel 17, cable community television produced at Germantown High School, is the point man for pursuing low-power FM for the city.
Germantown's first effort was crushed by the restrictions imposed by Congress. Bluestein has been lobbying ever since.
In addition to spreading local information during emergencies or special events that commercial broadcasters can't, low-power FM could provide airtime for Germantown civic groups, local musicians and others, Bluestein and Goldsworthy said.
"If we had a low-power station, we could get the word out," Bluestein said.
-- Kevin McKenzie: 529-2348
Low-power FM radio
Low-power FM radio, powered by 100-watts or less, could be heard from about 3.5 miles away indoors to about 10 miles away with a good car radio, advocates say.
In November, the Federal Communications Commission reported granting 1,286 construction permits for low-power FM stations and 809 were operating.
Federal Communications Commission records show a low-power station licensed for Cordova to Comunidad Cristiana of Memphis, one of 31 in Tennessee, but the telephone number listed is temporarily not in service.
Hardin High School in Savannah, Tenn., received an unexpected benefit after it began operating a low-power FM station -- much more play for high school sports activities on a commercial radio station facing the potential competition, said Jim Winborn, the teacher who runs the station.

LB Jerod Mayo joins list of injured Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
The ''next man up'' philosophy of the New England Patriots is getting seriously tested.
On defense, star linebacker Jerod Mayo went on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday, joining star tackle Vince Wilfork on the list. On Sunday, their best defensive back, Aqib Talib, could be sidelined after hurting his hip. And just when starting tackle Tommy Kelly returns from a knee injury is unknown.
Then there's the offense.
Wide receiver Danny Amendola and guard Dan Connolly suffered concussions last Sunday. Tight end Rob Gronkowski hasn't played all season.
Gronkowski was the only one of those seven to practice on Wednesday, and he was limited.
But the Patriots lead the AFC East by two games.
''A lot of teams face challenges. It's just really how you deal with them,'' Tom Brady said Wednesday. ''We've lost some guys, dealt with some issues, like every other team. We're handling them OK. We're 5-1. It's a decent start.''
But now four of the Patriots' best players are injured on a defense that has allowed the fourth fewest points in the NFL.
Dane Fletcher, who has started five games since joining the Patriots in 2010, could start at outside linebacker for Mayo on Sunday against the New York Jets (3-3).
''Our defense knows what we have to do,'' Fletcher said. ''It's always next man up. It's kind of that philosophy around here and whoever it may be, it's time for them to fill those shoes.''
Those shoes are pretty big.
Mayo, a two-time Pro Bowl standout, has the most tackles in the NFL since 2010 and calls the defensive signals. Wilfork is a five-time Pro Bowler who has anchored the defensive line since 2005.
They're also leaders, the only two defensive co-captains on the team.
''I think of it as Mayo and Vince are still our captains,'' said safety Devin McCourty, a co-captain the past two seasons.
Mayo was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday' 30-27 win over the New Orleans Saints when he and safety Steve Gregory tackled Darren Sproles. Mayo lay on the ground then reached for the upper right area of his chest. Mayo's agent, Mitch Frankel, did not respond to a request for comment on a report that Mayo had undergone surgery for a torn chest muscle.
''I just came down and made the hit,'' Gregory said. ''I didn't know what the extent was.''
Wilfork tore his right Achilles tendon Sept. 29 in a 30-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons then underwent surgery.
''When you lose someone like we did with Vince or Jerod, it's tough,'' Brady said, ''but I'd say a lot of teams deal with it, too.
''As much as you hate to lose guys, there's nothing you can do about it and the season doesn't end. You have to keep fighting on, just as they would want us to, just like they did when I went out, just like they did when guys like Rodney (Harrison) went out. We've lost some pretty key, critical guys over the years. Ty Law got hurt at one point.''
Brady had a season-ending knee injury in the 2008 opener and the Patriots went 11-5 with Matt Cassel at quarterback but missed the playoffs.
Harrison missed the last 13 regular-season games in 2005 and both playoff games with a knee injury.
Law played only the first seven games in 2004 before injuring his foot. The Patriots went on to win their third Super Bowl in four years.
''There are a lot of guys who have been injured,'' Brady said. ''You just have to try to fill the spot and other guys have to pick up the slack.''
One of them is outside linebacker Dont'a Hightower, who is expected to call defensive signals in place of Mayo.
''I'm looking forward to it,'' said Hightower, who has started since being drafted in the first round last year. ''If something ever happened, I knew that I would have to step up and do it. I mean I'm not nervous about it. It's something that I've done before, maybe not in the NFL, but I've done it before.''
Now he expects to do it again.
Mayo is done for the year.
''He does a lot for us on the field, off the field,'' coach Bill Belichick said, ''but we're just going to have to move on.''
NOTES: The Patriots re-signed defensive tackle Andre Neblett and signed cornerback Travis Howard to the practice squad. ... The 245-pound Fletcher played nose tackle briefly last Sunday. ''It's something new, huh?'' he said. ''But it's fun. Any way I can get in, I'll take it.''

THE humble but industrious ant has long served as a metaphor for the economic virtues of simplicity, parsimony and diligence. But in the case of weaver ants in Africa, this description may be more than just a metaphor. According to a study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Economic Entomology, by Paul van Mele of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and his colleagues, African mango farmers could increase their harvests by as much as two-thirds with the help of these doughty insects.
Mangoes in Africa, as elsewhere, often fall prey to fruit flies, which destroy about 40% of the continent's crop. In fact, fruit flies are so common in African mangoes that America has banned their import altogether, to protect its own orchards. African farmers, meanwhile, have few practical means to defend their fruit. Chemical pesticides are expensive. And even for those who can afford them they are not that effective since, by the time a farmer spots an infestation, it is too late to spray. Added to that, spraying tall trees is a much more complicated and unhealthy business than treating low-growing fruit and vegetables.
Agricultural scientists have also looked at controlling fruit flies with parasitic wasps. But the most common ones kill off only about one fly in 20, leaving plenty of survivors to go on the rampage. Lethal traps baited with fly-attracting pheromones are another option. But they, too, are expensive. Moreover, all these methods require farmers to detect the presence of fruit flies, and to identify them as the main threat to their crop—no mean feat when most of the action is taking place in dense, leafy canopies ten metres off the ground. Instead, most farmers simply harvest their fruit early, when it is not yet fully ripe. This makes it less vulnerable to the flies, but also less valuable.
Farmers whose trees are teeming with weaver ants, however, do not need to bother with any of this. In a survey of several orchards in Benin, Dr van Mele and his colleagues found an average of less than one fruit-fly pupa in each batch of 30 mangoes from trees where weaver ants were abundant, but an average of 77 pupae in batches from trees without weaver ants. The weaver ants, it turns out, are very thorough about hunting down and eating fruit flies, as well as a host of other pests. The only drawback is the ants' painful bite, which can be avoided by harvesting fruit with poles, rather than climbing trees.
Weaver ants have been used for pest control in China and other Asian countries for centuries. The practice has also been adopted in Australia. But Dr van Mele argues that it is particularly suited to Africa since weaver ants are endemic to the mango-growing regions of the continent, and little training or capital is needed to put them to work. All you need do is locate a suitable nest and run string from it to the trees you wish to protect. The ants will then quickly find their way to the target. Teaching a group of farmers in Burkina Faso to use weaver ants in this way took just a day, according to Dr van Mele. Those farmers no longer use pesticides to control fruit flies, and so are able to market their mangoes as organic to eager European consumers, vastly increasing their income. The ants, so to speak, are on the march.

involved in our project. But our project is one of her many projects.
And there is the manager of the product manager. She has no time to
work with us. She looks only at the estimates, from time to time and
says "too long". She doesn't understand much about what our product
does. Only at a high level.
When it comes to money, the manager of the product manager decides.
And there is another person from the Customer side. He is closer to
the problem domain. But I'm not sure what is his role.
Oh, yes, he should do whatever he can. Maybe he is used as an input
source by the other managers.
So, when you are saying "her interests", it is a little confusion for
me. :)

that you are working very fast using XP, and that the quality
investments you are making will pay off. You can gamble on that. Make
sure your estimates accurate though, since no-one likes a deadline
that isn't hit. Under promise /commit, and over deliver.
Don't tell her you are coding 6 hours a day regardless. Tell her you
are coding 8, then make sure you only code spikes and R&D stuff in
the other 2 hours. Personally, we stop touching production code after
about 4pm. Our brains are a bit dead. Then we work on previously
marked TODO's/STUB's in the code that are low brain activities to fix.
Regarding the problems with times estimates. Give a range if you are
unsure. e.g. between 5 and 15 days. Tell her you need to do some R&D
for 2 days to get an accurate estimate. If she takes the lower one
that is her problem and you have a project management problem you
need to solve. Openly refuse to commit to deadlines unless you are
sure of hitting them. I suspect you had project overuns in the past
because someone else other than the developers was promising
something that couldn't be delivered. Seen that before. It was solved
by the particular project manager being marched out the building by
security. That solved it!
Hope that helps.

I hope RIM announce these types of partnerships on the 30th, for their sake. "For those of you worried about future development, we can reveal we have partnered with x developers...so rest assured you will have the next angry birds game the same time as android and ios users..."

Does not mean the dual core can't do something a quad could. Just because it seems faster spec wise it's not always the case. It's all in how the os utilizing it.
As for ram mentioned iPhone 5 is 1gb and the galaxy 3 has 2gb. If rim has 2gb once all is known this is hardly and issue. - 01-13-13, 02:58 PM #61

Unless you heard it from the mouth of someone who works high up at RIM, then i wouldn't consider it confirmed. Yeah we've all seen it in pictures and videos, but doesn't mean it's going to be ready when the devices are sold. Just saying. It's not confirmed, not much is confirmed.

There are dual core and quad core S4s. The US Samsung galaxy S3 uses a dual core S4 and the droid DNA a quad core S4 for example.
It could be a typeo as someone suggested, or it could be that the developer tools target pre-Krait cores in terms of instruction set support even though the mobile devices will all have (maybe) S4s, and the support level was misinterpreted to mean that's what will be in the devices themselves. - 01-14-13, 11:14 AM #69
All the Qualcomm S4 processors, and the TI OMAP processors, and Nvidia TegraX processors are ARMv7 compliant. The OS that RIM is using is communicating with ARMv7 instructions. RIM already has BB10 working OMAP5 as we have seen with the QNX Bentley concept car, OMAP4 as we have seen with the PlayBook and Dev Alpha devices. We haven't seen a RIM device working with Qualcomm S4 yet, but it should be easy for them to do. The FIPS approval for BB10 and the PlayBook is valid for any device that uses an ARMv7 processor and the approved versions of crypto kernel and Neutrino.
ARMv7 does not (in a mandatory sense) include vector floating point, for example. Some variants of ARMv7 processors have it, and some don't. Any S4 Krait always has it. Tegra 2 doesn't have NEON, Tegra 3 does, etc. Optimization rules are undoubtedly different for each target, even if they have exactly the same instruction set (some have pipelined floating point, some don't. Original Krait has different out of order execution rules than Krait 400, and so on). It's possible that the developer tools suggest a "S2" as a target, implying either generic or Scorpion optimization rules. Not meaning that a Krait can't execute them, or that an OMAP can't execute them, but rather that this is the baseline instruction set (no VFP, no NEON, but still fully ARMv7 compliant) that is guaranteed to work on anything. Sort of like building to the 80386 target back in the days of Pentium and Pentium Pro.
I don't know that this is the case, but without more information about how the data saying that one of the processors is a Snapdragon S2 all we can do is speculate. It's pretty hard to believe that it would be an actual Scorpion core snapdragon, though.
This post isn't really contributing anything, I don't know how the developer tools look, my original post was only trying to explain why someone might have misinterpreted something he had seen on the developer side to something physically present in the device. - 01-16-13, 12:58 AM #71
There are dual core S4s as well as quad core. It's Sn where n is the generation of the product, not the number of cores it has. At any rate, I generally agree with you. At a very fine grained level there is a rule of thumb saying if (for example) you can get the same performance out of an adder at full clock rate or two adders at half clock rates, interleaving the issue to each, the better choice in CMOS is to use two half clock rate adders (power as the square of the voltage * frequency, but where voltage can be reduced in a lower frequency part as well). That's probably to some extent vaguely true on a large scale as well, better to have 2x 500 MHz cores than a single 1 GHz core, or 4 500 MHz cores rather than 2x 1 GHz cores, but that would be making a big assumption that the average task being executed is perfectly parallelizable.
I'm pretty sure that in the case of most phone OSes there is really no point to having even more than one core, or if you were limited to a specific die size the better choice would be to take the area that would have been dedicated to a second core and put it toward a larger GPU (which tasks are very parallelizable) or cache. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in whatever the specs for the new devices turn out to be in comparison to iOS or Android devices. In terms of specs, no one is going to be able to compete with Android for very long, the product refresh cycle is ridiculously fast and what is top of the line today is midrange a few months later. It doesn't matter, though, Android isn't very light on it's feet overall. I think all of Blackberry's major technical deficiencies were in its quite dated OS and it looks like - no matter what the hardware - those will all get resolved in a few days.Last edited by valeuche; 01-16-13 at 01:00 AM.

Yes, my bad... should have said "S4 Snapdragon". Had "2" (dual core) on the brain that day.
It's a dual-core, certainly, but arguably the best dual-core SoC around. - 01-16-13, 01:15 PM Thread Author #74
With the latest leaked bb10 training materials, i think it's safe to say that bbm video chat will be there. I hope it's not wifi only though.

Hehe, funny. But it's only a very little target audience which is reached, though very local and I guess over a long time.
Again, huh? At least its better then the dinosaur ad.
I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?
Someone would not like their rented DVD with these stickers.And, do they esay to be taken off the boxes after this ad campaign? don't like the idea even if it may work,
every sticker is carrying different message. not sure about brand recall
~ Quite obviously, I have gathered no moss ! ~

It's one of the major events here in Central Oregon; and it's right around the corner. The Tour Des Chutes on July 16th offers bike routes from 100 miles long down to just seven miles, all to raise money to battle cancer. Gary Bonacker started the ride in 2005 after surviving brain cancer and talking with Lance Armstrong at a race in Portland in 2004: "And talk to him about being a cancer survivor being somebody who wants to go beyond being a cancer patient who wants to go and he said a great way to do this is to come up with a fund raiser and I came back and a very small group at that time put together the Tour Des Chutes. Q: how many people? About 700, which amazed me 'cuz I thought: "Oh, if we can get about three hundred, and we were like scrambling for food." Now the Tour Des Chutes has about a thousand participants. Gary says they're all well fed with a burrito bar provided by Longboard Louie's of Bend. You can still register online up until Thursday, July 14th. And after that you can try to register at the race. The website is: www.tourdeschutes.org.

Kendall Regional Medical Center offers many forms of financial relief for patients without healthcare insurance (the "uninsured") needing emergent or non-elective services.
Financial Counselor
First, we have financial counselors on hand to evaluate your eligibility for various Local and State Programs, including County Assistance and Medicaid.
Charity Discount Policy
Kendall Regional Medical Center has a Charity Discount Policy that provides free hospital care for patients who have received non-elective care, do not meet the qualifications for Medicaid and whose income is less than 200% (in most cases) of the Federal Poverty Level. In order to qualify for this free care, you must complete a Financial Assistance Application and provide some documents to support your income. To access our full Charity Discount Policy, click here.
Get Covered America™
The Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare) allows you to compare health insurance plans and prices side by side and choose the one that fits your needs and your budget. Best of all, financial help is available. Please visit our Get Covered America™ page for more information.
Uninsured Discount Policy
For patients who do not meet the Charity Discount Policy criteria and will be expected to pay for services out of pocket, Kendall Regional Medical Center offers a managed care-like discount. All Uninsured patients (excluding those receiving cosmetic procedures and certain "package" procedures) will be given an Uninsured Discount. To access our full Uninsured Discount Policy, click here. All pricing estimates posted below already reflect the hospital's uninsured discount.
Similar to your visits to your physician's office, we expect payment at time of service. If you are ineligible for Medicaid or Charity and cannot pay your entire estimated bill, we will work with you to set up monthly payment arrangements. If, after your services are received, any additional payment is due, we will send you information about any amount you may still owe. We accept major credit cards, checks, money orders and cash.

Advanced Estimates...
More detailed pricing information is available. If our estimated pricing information does not appear to cover your service, or if you feel you will have complicating factors requiring a more detailed query, you may call our representatives for a good faith estimate at 1-800-617-7044.
Prior To Your Call
Prior to your call, please contact your physician's office to get the specific diagnosis or procedure description.
When you call our Service Center, please have the following information available, so that we can provide you with the most accurate estimate possible:
- Description of services needed - we will need to know as much information as possible about the specific services as described by your physician.
- Type of Services needed - we need to know if you will be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient overnight, or if you are expected to be treated on an outpatient basis.
- Physician/Specialist Name - example, if you are having surgery, we will want to know the surgeon's name.
Where did this data come from?
We pulled data from the most recent calendar year to determine pricing on our most common surgical procedures and inpatient admissions.
If the hospital has not had at least 5 patients in the past year utilizing that service, "N/A" will appear in the pricing range. "Hospital Stay range" refers to an average length of stay in the hospital for inpatient admissions. Any hospital advertised prices or flat rates will supercede these rates.
What is not included in our estimates?
The estimates provided are only related to your hospital bill. Your personal physician or other physicians providing you with services related to your hospital stay or visit will bill you separately. This can include fees related to specialists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, and radiologists.
Independent laboratory and radiology services will also bill you separately for reading and interpreting EKG's, X-rays, EEG's and lab work. If you have questions about those bills, please call the number printed on their statements.
When you have made an informed decision and are ready to proceed with services at our facility, you should contact your physician's office to ask to have your service scheduled.
Pre-registration is available to all scheduled patients prior to the date of service and expedites the admission process. All registration information will be obtained over the telephone.
When you arrive at the facility, you will be required to provide your identification, finalize financial arrangements and sign a few forms before going to the department.

Right to Censor
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2011) |
Right to Censor | |
Stable | |
Members | Steven Richards (leader) Bull Buchanan The Goodfather Val Venis Ivory The Kat[1] |
Debut | June 2000 |
Disbanded | May 14, 2001 |
Years active | 2000-2001 |
Promotions | WWF |
The Right to Censor (frequently referred to as RTC) was a heel professional wrestling faction in the World Wrestling Federation from mid-2000 to early 2001. The group was a parody of the Parents Television Council (PTC),[2][3] who was protesting the level of violence and sexual content in WWF programming and threatening to boycott several of their sponsors.
The uniform of the Right to Censor was a white button up shirt and black tie, with black slacks for the men (although Val Venis wore white slacks on occasion) and a long black skirt for the women, which parodies the look of a Mormon missionary.[3] Eventually Ivory, the only woman recruited to the group, was forced to adopt the black slacks out of necessity due to the skirt limiting her in-ring abilities.
Instead of the standard musical theme, the entrance of RTC members was accompanied by the sound of shrill alarms and buzzers with an underlying swing jazz beat.
Formation and feuds[edit]
The group was formed when wrestler Steven Richards began to randomly appear on WWF programming to cover up the bodies of scantily clad women or remove "hardcore" weapons such as tables from matches. He apparently took offense to the Acolytes's rowdy reputation and disapproved of the Dudleys' use of tables. He was eventually joined by Bull Buchanan, The Goodfather (formerly the Godfather), Val Venis, and Ivory. The group temporarily forced The Kat into its fold, but The Kat and the WWF parted ways before that storyline could completely play itself out. Before being forced into the group, The Kat was starting a group called Right to Nudity, which was to play on The Kat's infamous pay-per-view stunt where she appeared completely topless. Her group was what brought her to Right to Censor's attention.
The Right to Censor came out victorious in at least one match of every pay-per-view they participated in from mid-2000 to early 2001. At SummerSlam 2000, Richards, Buchanan, and The Goodfather won a 6-man tag match against Too Cool and Rikishi. At the next pay-per-view, Unforgiven, the RTC (now with Val Venis) won an 8-man tag match against the APA and the Dudley Boyz. Even though The Goodfather and Bull Buchanan lost the Dudley Invitational at No Mercy 2000, Venis and Richards managed to defeat Chyna and Mr. Ass in a tag match. When Women's Champion Ivory joined the group, she won 3 pay-per-view matches in a row for the group. She defeated Lita in a title match at Survivor Series 2000 while The Goodfather and Buchanan lost a Survivor Series Elimination Match. At Armageddon 2000, Ivory came out victorious once again in a triple-threat title match against Molly Holly and Trish Stratus, and Val Venis also was victorious over Chyna. Meanwhile, Buchanan and The Goodfather continued the losing streak when they lost the Tag Team titles to Edge and Christian in a Fatal Four-Way tag match. At the 2001 Royal Rumble, Ivory once again retained her title by defeating Chyna; on the other hand, Buchanan, The Goodfather, and Venis all failed in their attempt to win the Royal Rumble Match. No Way Out 2001 that year marked the last time the RTC would win a match at a pay-per-view when Steven Richards defeated Jerry Lawler.
The group had a moderate level of success, with Buchanan and The Goodfather holding the Tag Team Championship and Ivory capturing the WWF Women's Championship before entering into a high-profile feud with Chyna.
WrestleMania X-Seven was the symbolic end of the Right to Censor, as the stable lost all of the matches they were scheduled to participate in,[4] Buchanan, Venis, and The Goodfather lost a 6-man tag match against the APA and Tazz while Ivory lost her title to Chyna.
On the April 26, 2001 episode of SmackDown!, Richards, Buchanan, Val Venis, and The Goodfather faced the Undertaker in a 4-on-1 handicap match. The group was finally disbanded when Steven Richards was hit with the Last Ride by The Undertaker.[4] The Goodfather, Buchanan and Val Venis all walked out and left him lying in the ring. The group's last match was contested on May 24, 2001 on SmackDown!, when Bull Buchanan, The Goodfather & Ivory lost to Steve Blackman, Grand Master Sexay & Trish Stratus in a tag match. Following this match, RTC was officially disbanded. Ivory & Steven Richards would return as members of WCW during the Invasion angle and Val Venis & Goodfather returned at the 2002 Royal Rumble under their old personas. Steven Richards adopted a psychotic gimmick while Bull Buchanan was briefly rebranded as B2 (B-Squared) and made a bodyguard for John Cena before departing the WWE. The rest of the group reverted to their previous personas before the advent of the faction.

2009 Nissan Armada LE 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
Bought the Armada because my unusually tall husband fit into it but we are so disappointed with the way it drives. If you hit a bump in the road the steering wheel practically flies out of your hand and the Armada bounces wherever it wants to go. Scary. Also, for a large vehicle there isn't very much storage so we always seem to be moving things (like the emergency car care kit) all around the vehicle. If you need to use all 3 rows of seats as we frequently do - only a small cargo space remains. I'll drive this one until it dies to get my money's worth (maybe) but I won't buy another and I would advise you to keep on shopping too.

Monday, October 10, 2011 More items for Program/Project Management
Police in Pennsylvania are scratching their heads at some resourceful—and powerful—thieves who have made off with a 50-foot-long corrugated steel bridge.
The bridge, owned by New Castle Development Corp., was tucked away in a wooded area on a private access road to an industrial park in New Castle, PA, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.
The span had been in place for about a century—until earlier this month, when it disappeared, probably a piece at a time.
Scrap Metal Bonanza
Authorities said the thieves had to use a blow torch to dismantle the 40-ton span, which is worth more than $100,000 as scrap metal. The 20-foot-wide bridge was made of corrugated steel, a steel web decking, and steel I-beam supports. The bridge dated to the early 1900s.
Owners initially thought the bridge had been washed away in September's record rains. But the blowtorch marks on the grating and steel beams told a different story.
"I couldn't understand how a bridge could be gone," New Castle Development spokesman Gary Bruce told WFMJ-TV. "I thought that with the rain it got washed away."
Bruce believes the bridge was taken out in pieces over several days, between Sept. 27 and Oct. 6.
"It's unbelievable," said Bruce, whose company owns the bridge and the property. "I just wouldn't believe it."
'Hundreds of Pounds per Foot'
The bridge was lifted completely off its foundation—no small feat, area resident Robert Obed told WTAE.
"Its old beams are probably hundreds and hundreds of pounds per foot," Obed said.
Pennsylvania State Police were searching scrap yards, to see if they could find pieces of the bridge, but had had no luck and no leads.
Unfortunately, the cost to rebuild the bridge will far exceed what the thieves will get for the scrap, said Bruce, an engineer.
"It's going to be expensive," he said.
Now You See It…
With scrap metal costs soaring, thefts of wire cable, copper pipe, gutters, manhole covers and other metals have been on the rise worldwide. But an entire bridge is a rare target.
Still, metal thefts are quite common in that area of Pennsylvania, Obed told Time magazine. In fact, the magazine said, the bridge was recently closed because of copper thefts nearby.
Thomas Claveirole / Flickr
Although strange, the bridge theft was not unprecedented. In 2008, a 200-ton bridge disappeared in Khabarovsk, Russia, cutting off employees from a local heating plant where they worked. As in the Pennsylvania case, authorities suspected scrap-metal thieves.

Psst! Hey buddy, I got a bridge to sell you. Interested?

Tucson, Arizona (CNN) - Federal investigators say they've made an arrest in an unsolved child pornography case.
This man, 43-year-old Lance Robert Fries of Tucson, Arizona is accused of producing photos of a child being sexually abused. Fries was taken into custody just hours after Homeland Security Investigations released photos of an unidentified man in connection to the case dating back to 2006. A call to a police tip line led authorities to the suspect. Investigators have also identified the victim and say he is now safe. Fries is expected to appear before a federal judge Monday. |

The door wouldn't close easily it was supposed to swing closed on its own but it wouldn't close unless you pushed it hard Cindy F. • Dallas, NC • April 29, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator ED5FHAXST01 My Repair & Advice The video on the page where I purchased the part was very helpful. I thought I would have to remove the door to fix it, but the video showed how to put a board for support under it and change the part without removing the door. The refrigerator the video did the repair on wasn't exactly like mine, but I was able to figure it out. I removed the screws to take off the hinge and had to remove the door stop since one of the screws was holding in the door cam. I used a screw driver to work the old cam out of the door, just like the video suggested. It works great now! Was this review helpful to you?

REVIEW: CodeWeavers' CrossOver 6.0 for Mac OS X and Linux is limited.
Linux and Apples Mac OS X are effective desktop operating systems, to be sure, but Microsofts Windows has such a big piece of the operating system market pie that many application vendors dont even bother making their products available for non-Windows platforms. CodeWeavers CrossOver 6.0, a commercial distribution of the open-source Wine Project, allows users to install Windows applications on non-Windows operating systems. The most interesting new element of CrossOver (which was formerly called CrossOver Office) is its support for Mac OS X, a feat made possible by Apples move to the x86 processor platform.
CrossOver Mac 6.0 and CrossOver Linux 6.0 began shipping in January. The Linux version comes in a $70 Professional edition and a $40 Standard edition. The Professional edition comes with deployment tools for bundling CrossOver with applications into RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) packages, the ability to enable multiple users on a system to access the same installed Windows applications and one year of support. The Standard edition comes with six months of installation support. CrossOver Mac 6.0 comes in a single, $60 edition.
CrossOver Mac and CrossOver Linux are essentially the same product with different interfaces. eWeek Labs found the interface for the Linux version of CrossOver a bit rough around the edges, but CrossOver Mac fits in very well with the look of Mac OS X. We have been tracking Wine and CrossOver for some time now. Along the way, CrossOver has picked up some handy features and developed better ways of offering support to its user community. However, fundamentally, CrossOver has not progressed very far. The trouble is that Wine isand must always bea work in progress: Windows contains an enormous mountain of code, and Wine must address enough of the Windows API so that Windows applications can run on Wine-equipped systems. To make matters more difficult, Windows is a movingalbeit a slow-movingtarget.
As a result, getting Windows applications to run with Wine can be very tricky and can involve numerous application-specific workarounds. With CrossOver, CodeWeavers takes a handful of popular Windows applications, comes up with the workarounds needed to get them running, adds some features for smoothing installation and desktop integration issues, and wraps it all around the free Wine core. For supported applications, CrossOver works well, and it is certainly easier to use than Wine alone (although, in its defense, Wine has grown significantly more user-friendly during the past few years). Unfortunately, CrossOver supports relatively few applications, and, in our view, there are good native alternatives for many of the applications that CrossOver does support. There are 46 applications listed in CodeWeavers compatibility database that have been designated as fully supported (gold) or almost fully supported (silver). Many of the 46 applications, however, are different versions of the same application. When you filter out the gold and silver applications that arent simply different versions of each other, there are 21 gold- or silver-rated applications. eWEEK Labs installed the Windows version of Word 2003 on a Mac Mini running Mac OS X and on a Fedora Core 6-based machine. Word 2003 carries a bronze rating, which means that CodeWeavers does not recommend use of the application. In any case, Word 2003 worked properly during our tests on both our systems. We tried to install the totally unsupported Adobe Dreamweaver 8 (the version old DreamWeaver 7 and Photoshop 7 are supported), but the applications installer hung early in the process on both test machines. According to posters in the forum page attached to Dreamweaver 8 at CodeWeavers Web site, others have had success installing Dreamweaver 8 with plain Wine, albeit via a workaround that requires copying files from an existing installation of Dreamweaver on a Windows machine. We wanted to install VMwares Virtual Infrastructure client, which we required to manipulate a VMware ESX Server in our lab and needs Windows and .Net Framework 1.1 to run. We could not, however, coax .Net Framework to install. Wed love to see CodeWeavers extend support for .Net Framework (Version 2.0 isnt supported, either), because a growing list of Windows applications depends on it. We ended up addressing our need for the Virtual Infrastructure client on Linux by running it from a Windows XP Service Pack 2 virtual machine running on the free VMware Player.
