TV Ratings: 'The Bachelor' Continues to Grow, 'The Following' Jumps
Hitting a season high, the ABC series romances its best non-finale numbers in nearly two years -- while "The Biggest Loser," "How I Met Your Mother" and "Castle" also see improvement.
The Bachelor (3.0 adults), continuing to grow on ABC, was up three tenths of a point on Monday night for a season high. The growth also marked the series' highest non-finale ratings in nearly two years. Castle (2.2 adults) was up two tenths of a point, winning the 10 p.m. hour and helping push ABC to a tied victory in adults 18-49 (2.8 adults) and a dominant 9.4 million viewers for the night.
How I Met Your Mother (3.4 adults rating) rose two tenths of a point from last week's showing on CBS, tying 2 Broke Girls as the night's strongest performer in the key demo. 2 Broke Girls (3.4 adults) was down two tenths of a point from the previous Monday, following a steady Rules of Engagement (2.8 adults). Mike & Molly (3.1 adults) moved up a tenth of a point, while Hawaii Five-0 was down by the same measure. CBS tied ABC with adults 18-49 (2.8 rating) and averaged 9.2 million viewers.

After a small dip for Bones (down a tenth of a point to a 2.1 adults rating), The Following (2.8 adults) jumped four tenths of a point from last Monday. The Fox drama was the biggest grower of the night, pushing the network to an average 2.5 rating with adults 18-49 and 8.3 million viewers.
NBC saw a small boost for The Biggest Loser (2.1 adults), which rose by a tenth of a point from last week. Deception (1.2 adults) was steady at 10 p.m., giving the network an average 1.8 rating in the key demo and 4.8 million viewers.
The Carrie Diaries (0.4 adults) lost a tenth of a point from last week's showing on the CW for a series low, as did 90210 (0.2 adults). The latter brought in an audience of just 530,000 viewers. The CW averaged a 0.3 rating in the key demo and 863,000 viewers.
Univision averaged a 1.6 rating with adults 18-49 and 3.8 million viewers.

The Essential Diabetes Cookbook
by Antony Thompson
It's a shame that game birds tend to be under-utilized, despite being readily available in season. They are raised in the wild, are good value, and are lower in fat and thus healthier to eat than most other meats. There are lots of flavors going on here, perfect for autumn and winter.
Serves 4
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pheasants
• 2 onions, coarsely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• sprig of thyme
• 6 juniper berries
• 12 new potatoes, halved
• 1¼ cups chestnuts, cooked and peeled
• 1½. cups game or beef stock
• 1/2 cup robust red wine
• 1 cup cranberries
• 2½ Savoy cabbage, shredded
• grated rind and juice of 1 orange
• salt and freshly grated black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat the olive oil in a flameproof casserole or Dutch oven, then add the pheasants and brown them all over. Remove and set aside. Put the onions in the casserole and cook until softened and golden, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the bay leaf, thyme, juniper berries, new potatoes, and chestnuts, and stir to combine. Return the pheasants to the dish, breast side up. Pour the stock and wine around the pheasants, cover the casserole, and bring to a boil. Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes.
3. Remove the pheasants and set aside to rest. Transfer the casserole to the stove. Add the cranberries, cabbage and orange zest and juice. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
4. Carve the pheasants and return the meat to the casserole. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve in warmed bowls.
TIP: The pheasant carcasses and drumsticks are excellent for soup. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a little cornstarch thinned with cold water and simmer gently for a few minutes to thicken.

White House Ready to Legalize Phone Unlocking
March 5, 2013 | 10:12 pm
By Stanley Goodner
The White House is supporting the consumers' right to unlock their cellphones once they have fulfilled the terms of their contract.
In response to a petition on WhiteHouse.gov, the executive branch has stated that "The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network."
Notice how they thought ahead and also included tablets in their decision?
The Librarian of Congress, who has authority over the matter, ruled last October that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act should be interpreted to mean that unauthorized cellphone unlocking was a violation. As of January 26, newly purchased phones can no longer legally be unlocked.
However, others have argued—and the White House appears to agree—that even those who buy a device initially locked to a carrier should be able to unlock it once they have fulfilled the terms of their contract.
The Obama administration supports a range of approaches to address the issue, but it will also take cooperation from the FCC and mobile providers so customers can reap the benefits.
"We look forward to continuing to work with Congress, the wireless and mobile phone industries, and most importantly you—the everyday consumers who stand to benefit from this greater flexibility—to ensure our laws keep pace with changing technology, protect the economic competitiveness that has led to such innovation in this space, and offer consumers the flexibility and freedoms they deserve."

Australia has had legal unlocking for several years now. If you do it during your contract, you pay a termination fee; afterwards it's free. So far the sky hasn't fallen in.

Proof once more that Mario gets the shaft: Read this if you can stomach it...
On NFL Network this week, there was a segment with Adam Shefter where he was asked about Reggie Bush's "slump" against Green Bay after a great first game the week before.
Shefter actually said "Well, the thing with Reggie is that he doesn't actually have to produce to be effective. Just being on the field causes the defense to focus on him, making everyone else around him better..." So Reggie gets a free pass even when he doesn't dazzle us on the field. Nice. But Mario, when he gets double-teamed...or when we put him up against the opposing o line's best player, and thus other players like Demeco Ryans are getting 13 tackles (as a rookie), or Travis Johnson is slipping into the backfield and pulling down the running back as he gets the hand off, then Mario is in no way also helping our defense in the same manner? Other teams are NOT gameplanning against Mario at all? They're not saying to their blockers during the week leading up to the game against Houston "Hey, this guy can motor, so let's focus on him OK?" Proof again that the sports media sees what they WANT to see. Proof again that they will parse stats and say "Mario had another poor outing" while propping up "their guy" by ignoring the stats and playing the "Well, just being on the field is making a huge difference." Proof that the sports geeks we grew up with, the guys in the hallways that drove you crazy because they relentlessly propped up "their guy" even in the face of contradicting evidence that proved otherwise are all grown up and now they have a microphone and a TV camera to continue to be the twirp that they've always been. Nice. And you just thought you had grown up and graduated from high school. Apparently, we're still facing the same old twirps we did in our school days. Guys who said Christian Okoye would be a Hall of Famer. Guys who said Brian Bosworth could destroy Bo Jackson. Guys who said Percy Snow would be an elite LB (just as they are saying Derrick Johnson will also be a great LB). Same story, different year.

Good times. We just gotta wait for Mario to get comfortable (its a much harder transition for a DE from college to pro's then for a running back) and go off on some teams. Lets try to discredit him when he ends up with 6 tackles and 2 sacks in a game!
(please let him end up with 6 tackles and 2 sacks in a game this season)

Bush is drawing attention away from the defense while rookies and 2nd tier talents are free to score up there. So far Bush has made a difference for the Saints more than Williams has for us. Crying about "fair" won't help

The thing is, one is a marketable player and the other isn't. Bottom line, it's unfortunate but true. People will tune in to see him part the field like Moses & the Red Sea. I saw Inside the NFL the other day and it was one where they were talking about the draft. They had Jerry Jones on and they asked him about Mario vs Reggie. He stated that they had Mario as the BPA at #1, but if Reggie would have been there than they would have taken him because it's about selling tickets as well, not just about helping your team.
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. |

I think Reggie was going to get all of the media attention no matter where he went. If you're sick of it now, you should be glad we had the 2nd pick and not someone like the Jets.

Not saying that you are wrong, but I would be interested to see if Bush was on the field for that Rookie WR TD catch or was Duece.

Fuel the fire. Face it guys. Mario is going to get thrown down this year, while Reggie is held high. Thats just the way it is. Get used to it for now.
Everyone knows that RB is the esiest way to get instant impact on a team. Mario was brought in to be the corner stone of our defense. Just hope that Mario shows improvment each game. Reggie will get his time on ESPN. All top 3 offensive weapons do. Especially RB's. |

Bush and Deuce aren't splitting time. They pretty much play different positions. Bush is more of a wr than a rb and probably always will be.

& so it begins
Don't get me wrong, I like Moulds, & I like the Veteran Credibility he brings to our team. I'm just saying if Reggie was billed as the next Jerry Rice or something, then I'd have been on the wagon as well. TedGinn Jr excites me quite a bit........ Actually, that's not true....... it's all that BushBowl stuff that turned me off of the idea of ReggieBush in Houston. I'd have been happy with Michael Huff, or that Cromartie guy with the #1 pick instead of Reggie. I've got nothing against the little fella.... |
09-20-2006 | #11 | |
Hall of Fame
If you buy the party line, they picked Mario over Bush because they needed defense more than a RB in their system. Based on this year's defensive performance, they were right in stating we needed defense more than offense. So in a wierd way, the defense sucking validates the Mario pick even more....but after time you gotta have results or it was bad pick...lets hope for the best doug Last edited by Second Honeymoon; 09-20-2006 at 12:49 PM. |

Has anyone noticed that Mario is playing better than Freeney? Hmm.... course not. And I have watched. I dont know what it is but Freeney is slipping this year. He really does not look competitive.
Anyways.... just like it always has been.... the Mario pick is only a bad pick if you are trying to sell tickets. I am happy to have him, and I don't give a good hoot ESPN says. His selection in the draft shows the understanding and patience that our coaching staff and owner has. I love it. Reggie was the impulse buy, but Kubes knew that we needed a DE. Nuff said...

Well last time I checked all 3 'fast twitch' guys are all injured and when you are so reliant on superior moves and pure athleticism, if you lose a step your time is over. To be honest, if Mario can make some progress, show some more heart, and stay injury free his first year, I will be optimistic about Mario for the future doug |

I know the Colts have a very good offense, but they scored at will against the Texans. They have the easiest time against the Texans than any other team. They scored 43 points. 43 points is a lot even for the Colts. Didn't they rack up 500 yards or something? Mario might indeed be drawing attention, but it's not like it's doing anything for the defense.

What rookie skill player on a bad team is actually making a difference? Bad teams are bad for a reason. They usually lack talent. This means opposing defenses are more likely able to key in on them. The Vegas line for the Saints in total wins was 6.5. Texans have a 5.5 total win line. I think the Saints are overachieving now. As for blaming Katrina for last year for the Saints poor record, they were 8-8 in 2004. The Texans were 7-9 in 2004. Does anyone think the Texans underachieved to get a 2-14 record with essentially the same exact roster except Glenn and Sharper? Come on. Both the Texans and Saints underachieved last year. |
09-20-2006 | #18 | |
& so it begins
When I here the defensive guys say, "Yeah, we focused too much on Reggie Bush" I'll beleive it. But when they are covering one on one, and the first man brings him down, or he runs for 45 yards to pick up 13 on a punt return..... I'll take it with a grain of salt. The Saints needed Reggie about as much as we did. Him not having a touchdown in the two wins, and a combined 70 yards rushing only proves it. |

He's not a true WR like those guys. He is more of a WR/RB hybrid. He is put in motion around the field simliar to an H-Back and is used to create mismatches. There is not a name for what he does, which is why he is called a once in a lifetime talent, but he is somewhere inbetween a RB and WR. |
09-20-2006 | #20 | |
& so it begins
another reason not to take him with the #1....... he's not a reciever, he's not a running back. He's more like an H-back, used to creat mis-matches...... moving my tightend around does the same thing....... Too big for Corners..... to fast for LBs.. Except Reggie isn't too big/strong for a corner........ so you move him outside in the NFL, and he'll get mugged for 5 yards. The LB will release, and Reggie will run right into a safety.... again, not too big or too strong for..... Nothing so different than getting Jeremy Shockey lined up on a safety, or Jason Witten on a LB. |

Ryan McBride/Staff photographer Chesley Hill Road resident Greg DeNobile speaks during a PowerPoint presentation he made for city councilors and other residents during the Chesley Hill Road rezoning portion of the meeting Tuesday night at Rochester City Hall.
ROCHESTER — While the Chesley Hill Road area is now considered a quiet, single-family neighborhood, some residents are concerned that might change if the City Council approves a proposed zoning change for a 147-acre parcel at Mitchell Hill.Last week, the council chambers at City Hall was filled with residents who are against the rezoning proposal, which would allow multifamily homes, such as apartments, to be built in the area. The City Council is currently considering the issue as part of the comprehensive rezoning process. While the area surrounding the parcel is zoned as R1 — oriented toward single-family homes — the owner of the 147-acre parcel is requesting the land to be zoned R2, which would allow multifamily developments.Several residents referred to the proposal as "spot zoning," stating the change would benefit only one property owner while noting that a large area surrounding the 147-acre parcel is zoned R1.Resident Ken Billings said his family has lived on Chesley Hill Road for about 92 years, and many of his neighbors have lived there for 40 or more years. He said that in his neighborhood, "people take pride in their properties," and he is concerned the sense of ownership would go away with a potentially transient population living in rented apartments.
Ryan McBride/Staff photographer City councilors watch a presentation by a resident concerning the Chesley Hill Road proposed rezoning change Tuesday evening at Rochester City Hall.
Ryan McBride/Staff photographer Rick Perreault, a Chesley Hill Road resident, speaks against the rezoning of a parcel on Chesley Hill Road that would be rezoned from R1 zone, primarily for single family homes, to R2, which allows multifamily developments such as apartments and townhouses.

The kumbabishekam for the shrines at Sri Ramana Ashram, Thiruvannamalai, will take place on August 25.
Festivities in connection with the mahakumbabishekam of Sri Matrubhuteswarar and Sri Ramaneswara mahalingams, being slated for August 25, will begin today, at Sri Ramana Ashram, Tiruvannamalai.
The renovation to the holy premises and repairs to gopuram and vimanam above Matrubhuteswara and Bhagawan shrines have been completed. The three-day event begins today with Vigneshwara puja and concludes on August 25 with mahakumbabishekam and deeparadhanai. It is said that Bhagawan's mother stayed with him for a few years at the Skandasramam cave before passing away in May 1922. Niranjanananda Swami, younger brother of Ramana Maharishi, who had moved to Skandasramam along with his mother in 1916 used to perform the daily puja to the Matrubhuteswara lingam above the samadhi.
A few days before his Jayanthi, Bhagawan visited the samadhi and preferred to remain there, 'not out of his own volition, but due to the will of something else.'
A huge number of devotees thronged the place and there was a steady increase in the flow of donations to meet the food expenses.
Devotees, including foreigners, started visiting to have a darshan of Bhagawan and his mother's samadhi. The foundation to a shrine for Matrubhuteswara was laid by Bhagawan in September 1939.
The construction was taken up, under the supervision of Bhagawan himself, strictly as per the agama rules. It was completed in 1949 and kumbabishekam was performed, as a monument to a an extraordinary woman by her great spiritual son, 27 years after her nirvana.
The huge time gap was necessitated by Bhagawan's strict dictum that no canvassing for monetary and material help should be resorted to. A Sri Chakra was consecrated inside the sanctum sanctorum as a symbol of motherly love.
A huge darshan hall also came up and Bhagawan moved there for a few months after the kumbabishekam. Bhagawan attained samadhi in 1950 and Niranjanananda in January 1953.

Man what a nice day to brew! When I went to pick up the supplies at my local Homebrew supply store, the owner gave me the Samuel Jackson look. You know, his classic "Motherf*****! What the hell are you doing?!" look. Brew day went off without a hitch and things ran smoothly. My chiller plate is busted, but because it is pretty cold here in Newark, Delaware I let it sit out in the garage airtight in the conical fermenter overnight. The temperature dropped to 60F and I pitched the yeast the next day, Monday December 15, 2008, at 12 noon. It is now Wednesday, December 17, 2008 and there is no visible activity, but it is a lager so I did not expect to see much at this moment in time. I'll keep everyone posted on this journey to Liquid Sausage.
Definitely keep us posted! When we have the final tasting notes, let me know so I can stick the recipe back into the database. I've always been both intrigued and afraid of making a smoked beer- I think I've heard how long an overdone smoked beer can take to mellow. I'd love to give this a try, though.
So I know it's been awhile, but they say good things come to those who wait. I cracked open a bottle of my "Liquid Sausage Lager", or Rauchbier about a week and some change ago. And, I also gave about a case of this delicious beer away to random friends and homebrewers. While many had were skeptical at first about this beer and taking a bottle off my hands all of them came back with praise and an empty bottle to exchange for a new full bottle of the beer. So to put it very roughly and in the words of so many of my friends, "Andrew, This beer is amazing! Hey, can I have another?" So with regards to tasting notes... The beer is very much a Marzen/Oktoberfest with smoky overtones, pouring a nice clear deep amber color, with a half inch head of white delicate bubbles. When I stuck my nose into the glass I get a very malty aroma with a smokey backbone, there is a bit of earthy/floral aroma from the hops, but it is not a punch in the face. At that first sip you are hit with a sweet smokey maltiness taste. You can also detect the earthy/floral hop bitterness, but it is not prominent. In the end both myself and friends reckon the flavor to beef jerky, I might see what a little dry hopping with caraway seeds will do, who knows Pastrami on Rye Bread? Enjoy! I know I have, I'm down to my last case. So sad to say goodbye.

I've got a Python application which is daemonized and running on a server 24/7. I'd like to be able to give an incredibly simple web interface so that I can monitor the changing values of a few variables within the program.
I'm using Tornado, and I'm up and running with the simple 'Hello, world' that you can find on the Tornado homepage. However, as soon as tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
is called, it enters into the loop and doesn't return. My existing program is (essentially) an infinite loop as well, but I want to integrate the two.
So, my question is: how can I construct my program so that I can monitor variables inside my infinite loop by using Tornado to provide a web interface?

Come to Blacktoft Sands throughout the year and see how many of our 270 species of birds you can see! The tidal reedbed is the largest in England and is important for its breeding bearded tits, bitterns and marsh harriers. One of the most breathtaking sights in summer is pairs of marsh harriers, which pass food from one to the other in mid-air during their acrobatic courtship display. In winter, there are thousands of ducks easily viewed from wheelchair accessible hides.
The reserve is open daily (except Christmas Day) from 9 am to 9 pm (or dusk if earlier). The reception hide is open daily from 9 am to 4 pm from April-September and at weekends from 10 am to 4 pm from October-March.
Members free. Non-members: adults £4, under 16s £1, concessions £3, family £7.
Birds on the lagoons are clearly visible from all hides. Marshland hide provides particularly close views of waders and ducks. There are a series of guided walks throughout the year, intended to introduce beginners to various waders, warblers and raptors.
Take part in RSPB Blacktoft Sands monthly wildlife challenge. Pick up the challenge from our reception and try to spot as many of the different types of wildlife as you can find listed on the sheet. The extra tricky things are marked with a star and if you see one of those then you win a prize. The challenge changes every month. Look out also for some of our special events that are particularly suitable for families like our Open Days.

The day the lights went out: New York marks ten years since the city that never sleeps went dark
A decade ago this week the Northeast blackout plunged 60 million into darkness - but the human spirit of those affected never shone brighter.
Just after 4.10 p.m. on August 14th, 2003, 80 percent of the northeast of the nation and parts of Canada lost power over the course of only six seconds.
But instead of panic, with memories of 9/11 still vivid, most remember fondly the day the lights went out, as everyday people calmly helped police direct traffic, motorists turned their radios up so those stranded could find out what was going on and bars and restaurants hosted 'blackout parties'.
Pitch Black: Cars try to navigate their way through New York City during a blackout that hit U.S. and Canadian cities. Ten years after a blackout cascading from Ohio affected 60 million people
Newark, JFK and LaGuardia airports shut down, New York Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal ceased to operate, thousands of people were trapped in the subway and hundreds more in elevators in skyscrapers across New York City, Toronto and Buffalo.
With no traffic lights across the city, gridlock descended as workers fled their offices to be struck by steaming, humid air temperatures of 92 Fahrenheit.
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers streamed across the Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges to get home while other commuters were left stranded and slept in public parks and on the steps of public buildings.
Despite the blackout, bars and restaurants reported an increase in trade as those affected to the opportunity to enjoy the predicament they all found themselves in.
Restaurants handed out their perishable food for free and a general party atmosphere took over those affected by the blackout.
But now now ten years on, many still worry that another blackout could happen at any moment, despite investment in the power grid since 2003.
Human Spirit: A couple enjoys a candlelight dinner at a downtown Toronto restaurant during a major power failure
Dusk: The Empire State Building towers over the skyline of a blackout-darkened New York City just before dawn
Across the Northeast: The city of Cleveland sits in the dark except for emergency lights in the Federal Courthouse, left, and the SBC building, far right, after a massive power outage struck the eastern United States and parts of Canada
'This job of reliability is kind of impossible, in the sense that there's just so many things that could happen that it's hard to be sure that you're covering all the bases,' said William Booth, a senior electricity adviser with the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The industry has mostly addressed the failures blamed on a tree branch in Ohio that touched a power line and set off outages that cascaded across eight states and parts of Canada the afternoon of August 14th, 2003, darkening computer screens, halting commuter trains, and cutting lights and air conditioners for 60 million people.
Grid operators who didn't initially realize what was happening now have a nearly real-time view of the system and are better equipped to stop problems from growing.
Patient Wait: Thousands of commuters wait for a chance to board a ferry from Manhattan to the New Jersey side of the Hudson River in New York, after a massive blackout shut down trains and subway lines
Power Out: All lights are out in Times Square during the east coast blackout August 14, 2003 in New York City
Shining Light: The Statue of Liberty was not affected by the blackout. New York was hit by the second largest power blackout in American history, on August 14, 2003
Utilities share more information and systematically trim trees near high-voltage power lines.
Electricity customers have been giving the grid a bit of breathing room. Power demand has remained flat or even fallen in recent years as lighting, devices, appliances, homes and businesses have gotten more efficient and economic growth has been sluggish.
All that reduces stress on the grid.
At the same time, aging coal and nuclear plants are shutting down in the face of higher maintenance costs, pollution restrictions and competition from cheap natural gas.
Renewable generation such as wind turbines and solar panels is being installed, adding power that's difficult to plan for and manage.
Temperatures and storms are getting more extreme, according to federal data, and that increases stress on the grid by creating spikes in demand or knocking out lines or power plants. Some regulators and policymakers are increasingly worried about cyberattacks that could target systems that manage power plants or grids.
'The grid that exists today wasn't designed for what everybody wants to do with it,' says Joe Welch, CEO of ITC Holdings Corp., the largest independent transmission company in the U.S.

No Electricity: A stranded traveler sleeps in the baggage claim area at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York
Party: People sell beer on the street during a massive blackout August 14th, 2003 in New York City
The electric power industry did respond directly to the issues that sparked the blackout. An analysis of spending on maintenance and transmission equipment by more than 200 utilities nationwide conducted for the AP by Ventyx, a software and data services firm that works with electric utilities, shows that spending rose sharply in the years after the blackout.
Maintenance spending for overhead lines increased an average of 8.2 percent per year from 2003 to 2012. In the period before the blackout, from 1994 to 2003, that spending grew 3 percent on average per year.
Spending on transmission equipment also increased. From 2003 to 2012, utilities spent an average of $21,514 per year on devices and station equipment per mile of transmission line. From 1994 to 2003, spending averaged $7,185 per year.
The number of miles of transmission line remained roughly the same, suggesting new money was mostly spent on equipment to make the existing system stronger and more responsive, according to Ventyx analyst Chris Tornow.
Those higher transmission costs have trickled down to customer bills, but they've been largely offset by lower electricity prices, thanks to cheap natural gas. Since 2003, average residential power prices have risen an average of 0.85 percent per year, adjusted for inflation, according to the Energy Information Administration.

The grid's reliability is high, according to a May report from the North American Electric Reliability Corp., which sets standards and tracks the performance of the power plants and high-voltage transmission lines that make up the bulk power system.
Last year was particularly good. Not including extreme weather events, major transmission lines caused power losses only twice in 2012, after averaging nine instances annually from 2008 to 2011.
The report says transmission lines have been functioning normally and available for use an average of 99.6 percent of the time, not including for planned outages, since tracking began three years ago.
Most outages residents experience stem not from the bulk system, but from smaller failures in distribution systems managed by local utilities and regulated by states.
Not including storm-related outages, the average U.S. customer goes without power 1.2 times annually for a total of 112 minutes, according to PA Consulting Group.
The bulk power system is changing, a result of the declining use of coal and nuclear power and the rising use of natural gas and renewable power.
One-sixth of the existing coal capacity is projected to close by 2020, much of it at small, inefficient units in the Ohio River Valley, the Mid-Atlantic and the Southeast, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Groceries: Customers wait in line to buy essential items at a grocery store in Grosse Pointe, Michigan
The permanent closure of four nuclear reactors in California, Florida and Wisconsin was announced this year, and reactors in New York, Vermont and elsewhere may also close.
Plant shutdowns mean there's less of a cushion in electrical capacity when power demand is high or problems arise. Shutdowns also create pockets of transmission congestion or regions where power is scarce. Both situations drive up power prices for customers, make the grid less stable and present planning challenges.
'That is a new stress that we hadn't thought about' a decade ago, said Scott Moore, vice president of transmission engineering and project services at American Electric Power, one of the nation's biggest utilities.
The reliability report raises concerns about the Texas grid, one of the three major U.S. grids, where the amount of wiggle room in capacity is expected to dip below targeted minimum levels.
Growing reliance on natural gas-fired generation also creates weak spots.
For example, utilities that supply natural gas to customers for heat can typically take all the gas they need from pipelines before any excess goes to electricity generators.
A television frame grab shows areas affected by an electricity blackout in New York City and the Northeast
In regions with limited pipeline capacity, such as the Northeast, planners say there might not be enough gas to heat homes and generate electricity simultaneously during a cold snap.
'In the winter there could be a significant and sudden unavailability of power,' said former Vermont regulator Rich Sedano, who directs the Regulatory Assistance Project, a nonprofit advisory group. 'It's critical that this emerging threat to the grid is addressed.'
ITC Holdings' Joe Welch argues increased spending on the grid in recent years reflects how quickly it is aging, not a concerted effort to modernize or strengthen it.
'We've done paltry little,' he said.
But planners say changes made since 2003 at least give grid operators better control and add flexibility.
'We can't redirect hurricanes or prevent every cyberattack, but we can focus on resilience,' said Terry Boston, president of PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization serving 13 states.
For now, there appears to be enough electricity capacity to meet demand, which has remained relatively flat since 2005. The nation's natural gas plants aren't fully used, and wind, solar and other renewable generation have been built to comply with state renewable power mandates.
'Many feel there is a very long fuse here, and there may not be a bomb at the end of it,' Sedano said.

18 Apr 2012 Accountancy Age
By Rachael Singh
FRP ADVISORY administrators have been called to global fashion retailer Aquascutum.
Geoff Rowley and Phil Armstrong, partners at FRP Advisory, were appointed joint-administrators to the luxury fashion brand which is worn by politicians, celebrities and royalty including Kate Middleton.
Founded in 1851, the company was famed for producing the first waterproof wool and its iconic trench coat. Harold Tillman and Belinda Earl acquired the business in 2009 following losses of £24m from the previous year. Over the next three years investors pumped in £30m and directors took the decision they could no longer afford to prop up the company.
Rowley (pictured) said: "We are conscious of the value of the Aquascutum brand and its long-standing heritage and because of this are keen to enter in to early discussions with interested parties open to purchasing the business as soon as possible."
"We will of course be conducting an urgent assessment of all stores and concessions and look to communicate to staff and suppliers at the very earliest opportunity."
The company, which employs 250 people in the UK, has three high street stores in Westfield (White City), Canary Wharf in Windsor, and 16 concessions in Austin Reed, Selfridges, Harrods, House of Fraser and John Lewis. It also has seven outlets and 11 international concessions.
A statement from Aquascutum said: "The challenging conditions in the UK however, has unfortunately meant that the team have been unable to successfully turn the business around which has ultimately resulted in its administration. The board hopes that under FRP Advisory, the business will be disposed of successfully. "
According to the Financial Times, for the five months to February 2010 the company made a loss of £6.4m and the the nine months to September 2009 it had made a loss of £16.7m.

Thanks everyone.
I've come to the realization that I'm being too lazy in the gym. I wonder if this is what Lilly meant,instead of two max effort days a week like with Westside,your more aggressive with the Cube. Any way you look at it,I'm disapointed in myself.
Deadlift hasn't moved in months.
I'm sick of my fail bench session a couple weeks ago. My plan is to do 2-4 singles for a while on max effort days,than in a month or two go for 10-15lb PRs. I want a 405 squat,315 bench and 450 dead this year.
I wonder if steady income would ease some stress and let me gain momentum in the gym. Hmm. So many jobs to do online,but I rarely have access to a regular computer. Just my phone. I suppose I should delve into exactly what I can accomplish from my phone. Rant over.
Hunger. Hate. Recoil.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of soliton arrays generated from spatial noise in a planar waveguide with relaxing Kerr nonlinearity
Optics Express, Vol. 10, Issue 18, pp. 942-948 (2002)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (626 KB)
Quasi-periodic arrays of bright soliton-like beams are obtained experimentally in the picosecond regime as a result of the transverse modulational instability of a noisy continuous background in a planar CS2 waveguide. For a given propagation length, the array is stable from a laser shot to another and for a wide range of input intensities. The experimental period corresponds to the maximum gain of modulational instability only for the intensity just sufficient for soliton formation. On the other hand the mean period increases with the propagation length. We show by a numerical simulation that the leading edge of the pulse governs the dynamical formation of the array owing to the finite relaxation time of the reorientational Kerr nonlinearity in CS2.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were seen on the streets of Los Angeles yesterday where Spencer was interviewed for Ashlee Simpson's husband Pete Wentz' new MTV show. Pratt joined the Fall Out Boy star on the set of the show but what the interview was about we don't know yet. How to get paparazzi to follow you everywhere? How to become the most embarrassing couple in Hollywood? I'm sure Pete thought of a number of good questions to ask!

Durham: April 30, 2014
Celebrated Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara refused to rule out a return to Durham after being unveiled as the English county side's latest overseas signing on Wednesday. The left-handed batsman has agreed a short-term two-and-a-half-week contract to join the reigning county champions, but hinted that he is open to a more long-term return in future.
"If I can have another year here, where I can be successful, I would love that. The real key is the relationships that you build up over time. Durham were one of the few counties with an opening for an overseas player. I was pretty lucky they agreed to take me on, because two games is sometimes not viable for a county. Coming here, the conditions are really challenging if you're looking to learn, but this is a great place to come," said Sangakkara, who helped his country to lift the World T20 crown earlier this year.
Sangakkara will make his Durham debut in the four-day game against Yorkshire in the County Championship on Sunday. His second and final game is against Sussex at Hove, starting the following weekend.
The short-term stay provides ideal preparation for Sri Lanka's forthcoming Test and one-day international series against England, which starts at the end of May.
The 36-year-old Sangakkara, who is ninth on the list of all-time Test run scorers with 11,151 at an average of more than 58, added: "It's important that I keep my focus on the present, and make an impact against Yorkshire.
"Of course I'll have the preparation for England at the back of my mind, but it's important to be focused on current events. Playing against England for us has always been a challenge. We don't have the pace and firepower of the English, Australian, South African and even Pakistani attacks, but to be fair, we have a lot of variety in our bowling.
"We have guys who can swing and seam, and others pushing into 140 kilometres per hour. Back in 2006, when we toured here, it was a pretty successful time, drawing the Test series 1-1 and winning 5-0 in the one-dayers. "To win a Test series here in England, that's a real dream." he said. Sangakkara, who came close to joining Lancashire in 2010, enjoyed his only previous spell in English county cricket, with Warwickshire in 2007. "It was one of the best experiences I've had as a cricketer," he said. "The dressing-room atmosphere and the general professionalism of the players left a lasting impression on my mind.
"This is probably my last year and a bit in international cricket and I would like to play county cricket again." Sangakkara caused amusement during Wednesday's press conference at Durham's Chester-le-Street ground after revealing that he was late after getting lost on the way there.
Having been beset by satellite navigation problems as he travelled from his temporary base in nearby Durham City, he explained: "I had to apologise for turning up late. "For some reason I seemed to end up on the motorway on my way to the ground, which clearly wasn't the right way, but I found myself here in the end."
Durham coach Jon Lewis acknowledged that the county could stand accused of playing one of Sri Lanka's top players into form ahead of their meeting with an England side keen to move on from the memory of a tortuous winter tour of Australia.
"I understand that criticism might come our way, but this is about doing the right thing for us," he said. "We've lost a couple of batsmen and with the injury to Ben Stokes, it's left a bit of a hole.
"So to have Kumar available for a couple of games is a big plus. There's never a wrong time to bring in someone of Kumar's experience and it's good to have a senior guy in there who has played a lot of cricket."

I've got two identical 10" Noname Tablets. One is working without a hassle, but the other is not booting anymore. I've done a factory reset, Cache Wipe, Userdata Wipe, with no result, it starts and hangs in the first stage. The Android Virtual Device manager in Eclipse detects the tablet and says it's online. but after a short while it dissapears from the the manager and after some time it appears again.
I was wondering if there is a way to clone the firmware from the working tablet to the defective tablet?
Hope someone can help me out and give me some hints and tips.

2010 Census:
Census Bureau Is Making Progress on the Local Update of Census Addresses Program, but Improvements Are Needed

The Department of Commerce's U.S. Census Bureau (Bureau) seeks updated information on the addresses and maps of housing units from state, local, and tribal governments through the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. This testimony discusses (1) the status of the LUCA program, and (2) the Bureau's response to prior issues raised by GAO as well as new challenges related to the program. The testimony is based on a GAO report issued on June 14, 2007. GAO reviewed LUCA program documents, met with and surveyed participants in the LUCA Dress Rehearsal, and interviewed Bureau officials and local officials.
The Bureau has conducted its planned LUCA operations in accordance with its published timeline. The Bureau has also taken steps to reduce burden and improve training for localities that participate in LUCA--all areas GAO and others had identified as needing improvement. For instance, to reduce participant burden, the Bureau provided a longer period for reviewing and updating LUCA materials; provided options for submitting materials for the LUCA program; combined the collection of LUCA addresses from two separate operations into one integrated program; and created MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS), which is designed to assist LUCA program participants in reviewing and updating address and map data. Also, the Bureau has planned improvements to the 2010 LUCA program training and plans to supplement the workshops with computer-based training (CBT). LUCA participants that GAO surveyed report that they had adequate time to complete the LUCA review, and a majority of the participants were satisfied with the options for submitting materials. However, the Bureau faces new challenges. For instance, the Bureau tested MTPS with only one local government and did not test its CBT software in the LUCA Dress Rehearsal. Also, many participants had difficulty converting Bureau-provided files to their own software formats. Finally, the Bureau does not collect certain data on localities that agree to participate in LUCA but provide no response. This information is needed to fully assess the effect of the LUCA program on address lists and population counts.

ok im gonna reverse a bit... and gonna use the creative board without getting the chips off.... it has the 7372 and 8510j tied, so my only problem is gonna power it cause the transformer is 12V AC 3.9A (lost it), but theoretically, its just needed to chant after the rectifier bridge right, after the big capacitator 4700uF 25v?
i am gonna post the back of the PCB so u guys please help if u can i need to power it using the PC power supply, and THE MOST IMPORTANT, i need to bypass the power volume, cause it powers on the board, and i dont have it..... can anyone help a bit? |

"ok im gonna reverse a bit" -> do not.
and take a good look arund, i bet if you do you find a more suitable psu than the pc psu. Wallplug adapters, old radio / other junk you or someone who you know does not need, and so on. You can salvage the parts needed, if You are realy upto do some low cost DIY. Who knows, You might even find good quality stuff. (like.. I managed to salvage nice TL74 IC thisway.. And other usefull things such as 6300 uf caps, and many handfull of ceramic caps, safety fuse, switch, acceptible pots, a few 78xx regulators complete with circuitry and so on..) At any case, doing it DIY is the fun way. And in Your position i would say it will be a lot more easy than to "whack" your way to power that amplifier. |

~~FANS UPDATE~~ Please feel free to Fan me.. I'll take the time to check out each individuals auctions before I "Fan" back! Listia does limit the number of users each person can become a fan of. Per Listia, "The 'fan' option was not meant to be used to fan everyone. This feature was implemented so you could follow the members who have auctions that you like." Fanning everyone who fans you, defeats the whole 'Fan' purpose.

There is loads of code online that has led me to believe that the following will give me the current time. However, this isn't the case. I'm getting what I believe to be the UNIX epoch time; 1st of Jan 1970 00:00;00.
It's becoming really annoying now, why aren't I getting the current time as governed by my computers system clock? I'm doing this for an embedded system, in C. The IDE is mplab.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main () {
time_t time_raw_format;
struct tm * ptr_time;
time ( &time_raw_format );
ptr_time = localtime ( &time_raw_format );
printf ("Current local time and date: %s", asctime(ptr_time));
return 0;
