ISC Begins BIND 10 Development
After 10 years the industry-independent Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) is embarking on a completely new BIND implementation with BIND 10. Its patrons and sponsors should ensure that the market leader in DNS implementation is more secure, flexible and highly scalable, although developers are keeping the details close to their chests at present.
Admins have always had a mixed relationship with BIND. Although it has a DNS nameserver market share of almost 75% worldwide, its configuration has proven to be somewhat tedious and difficult when it comes to high availability. ISC president and DNS maven Paul Vixie feels that this should soon change with the help of its dozen or so patrons and sponsors among domain registries. The nonprofit organization can then focus on developing BIND 10 under a BSD-like ISC license based on their financing.
Even with full details on BIND 10 missing, ISC sketched out some cornerstones of its design. One among them is that BIND 10 will support DNSSEC. Many security experts called for higher security measures as a critical Internet infrastructure for DNS after they publicized holes in the protocol.
BIND 10 should undergo some modularization to provide more interfaces, including to background query databases. It will also provide new forms of interaction with monitoring and configuration environments, enabling a closer coupling between DNS and DHCP servers to allow not only IP address but also hostname allocations. One thing where developers agree is that BIND 9 left too many opportunities for DoS attacks by dumping and exiting on the slightest error. BIND 10 will use reset-and-continue as the normal response to attacks instead.

The 1st phase has recoded a awesome 57.14 win percentage for team R.C.B in which they won 4 out of their 7 matches. Despite the disappointment start with a lose against the K.K.R team in the season opener the team returns like the wounded lion and fight like a champ to win the next 4 matches in a row. In this 4 matches they not only won but they played like one unit and just ruined the opposition team. But again the bad luck strikes and the team lost the next 2 matches in a row for which the players also had to blame for some extend of the loss. Its because they had not played up to their potential that's what I feel because I hate if R.C.B lose.
This is my take on the performance of team R.C.B during the 1st phase of I.P.L-2010.
PHASE 1 : Dipankar Das 's review for rc's performance
PHASE 2 : Dipankar Das 's review for rc's performance
The second phase of I.P.L.-3, has provided a mixed result for team Royal Challengers. Once upon a time it looks like that the last years runners up team will not be able to make the cut for the final 4, who will qualify for the semis. But still they keeps their hopes alive by maintaining a healthy run-rate to be able to qualify for the semis. In this phase team R.C.B. recorded a mare 42.86 percent of win, due to their 3 wins out of 7 matches. But whatever matches they had won in this phase was not that they just won but they just demolished their opposition in their path to victory to maintain a healthy run rate. This run rate helps to make the cut to the final 4 when 4 teams were struck at the same point at the end of the league matches. Thanks to some individual brilliance along with a great team work which makes it difficult looking task possible. Also the luck of the team is very good because if team Daredevils or Knight Riders would have got an another win or a good run-rate in their back then the scenario would have been different in the final 4 teams for the semis and the hope of getting to the semis to get another chance to conquer the I.P.L. trophy this time would have been remained a dream only and we the fans should have to waited for one more year to see the team R.C.B. as a champion.
But a last I am very happy that the opposition teams bad luck runs and team R.C's good luck strike at the right time and they make it to the semis. This raises the hopes to see the team as champs this year.
Hence, this is my take on the 2nd phase of RC's performance and hopes that you all will like it.
PHASE 3 : Dipankar Das 's review for rc's performance
The third and final phases didn't provide the most desired result that was accepting by each and every die hard fans of RCB. I as a fan of RC expecting that the team will make a make up for their lost in the hands of MI's in their last league match of IPL-2010 as well as they will also make up for their last years lost in the hands of DC in the finals of IPL-2009. But they failed to do so. They got beated in the hands of MI again in two consecutive matches and this time in the most crucial match of the two which shattered all the hopes to see a RC as a champion this time. This happens due a irresponsible performance due to team in this vital match. Its seems like that they failed to handle the pressure of the big match or they forgot to tackle the pressurize situation of big match. In this match, first the bowlers led the team down of giving the opposition a chance to pose a big score in their own ground in front of their home crowd and the rest was done by the irresponsible performance of the batsman. But the target which posed by the MI's on that day was not such a big that cannot be achieved by the world class batting line up of the RC team but they made a mess of it all and the match gone away from the hands. This breaks the hearts of RC fans who hopes to watch the team as a champ this time.
But they compensate for the loss to some extent by winning the third place play off match. This can also be considered as the revenge of their last 3 defeats in the hands of DC in a row including the loss of the last years final IPL final match. In this match the bowlers done a splendid job under the guidance of Jumbo and destroyed the opposition batting line up and restricting them to a low score. The rest of the job was done by the batsman. This win gives us something to cheer for team RC again in this year at the CL T20. This time I'm hopping at team RC will bring the CL T20 Cup for the fans.
Best of luck team RC for CL T20 2010.
That's all, thankyou.

I am still alive.
It has been a long time since the last time I got on DA.
Last year I graduated from my Arts College and got a job in a small game company. That's my first full-time job and I worked hard. 0-0
My work was easy at the beginning but it was getting busier and busier as time went on.
There was few time for me to draw my own things. Well I still made some little pictures to relax myself once I got some spare time. But most of time I felt too tired to draw my own stuff or to play games or watch animes/mangas or to go for a work after a whole day's work.
I am so sorry for those unread messages and unread notes you guys sent to me I am trying to read them all but I'm afraid I am unable to reply them all. Sorry about that..
And I am really sorry for having kept my commissioners waiting for such a long time...OTL||||
I wanted more free time to drawing my own things...so I quit that job after a year's working, I really don't like it.
Gonna practice my self or do some further study before finding my next full-time job. Now I feel more relaxed than ever. So glad to get back to DA~~XD
will add some new pictures to my gallery and will finish my commissions soon~

5 Fashion Trends Men Hate
4. HAREM PANTS (pictured: Minimum loose linen harem pants, $119): We're on board with Abraham here... these are hit-or-miss pants that skew miss: "Simply put, these are the ugliest pants ever created." But that doesn't stop us from trying them on at the store every once in a while, trying to find an angle in the fitting room mirror that magically makes them look effortlessly chic, not certifiably crazy. Why do guys hate it? Probably because they make your ass look like it's swinging somewhere down by your calves. Abraham adds: "Devoid of curves, drowning in layers, and saddled with a droopy crotch, you should only wear them if you want to hide the fact that you're a woman." 5 Sexy Summer Fashion Trends Men Love
5. UGGs: Abraham calls them the "anti-heel." There are two times it's OK to wear them, he says: "it's snowing; you're naked." We don't disagree: UGGs are the cockroaches of fashion. So what's wrong with them? Abraham says: "Slightly bulky, puffy, and flat, these boots represent everything that men dislike about women's footwear. Wear them sparingly."

The One Show
I was on The One Show last night, being interviewed by Jay Rayner in time for my book's publication tomorrow. The footage seemed to convert gardener Monty Don. He's more than welcome to come down and overhaul my 80 foot garden. I used to be a gardening fanatic but The Underground Restaurant has left me time short. Jay Rayner also interviewed legendary chef Pierre Koffman who is opening a supper club at his Knightsbridge restaurant.
Here is the link: watch it from 9 minutes onwards but it only last six days. Apparently there is a way of keeping the footage, and if anyone knows it please write in!

Good luck with the book!
AngieYay! This is fabulous, and about time you got the recognition you deserve, particularly with so many others jumping on the bandwagon.
Supperclub in a Michelin restaurant? They just plain missed the point!
Get Monty round with a team of hefty lads to do the heavy work and dig out your vegetable bed and we can get growing!

Puck, meet net. Repeat.
The Thrashers' defense is pretty solid, but grabbing a goal scorer would be huge
Plugging Holes -- Atlanta Thrashers
The Hole: More goal scorers
Steve Yzerman's hire in Tampa Bay garnered all the press clippings during the playoffs, but the Thrashers' hire of Rick Dudley should not be underestimated. Many people aren't aware that Dudley was one of the men in charge of rebuilding the now-dominant Chicago Blackhawks.
His hire in Atlanta should lead to greater things.
The Thrashers exhibited a run-and-gun style under former coach John Anderson, so the fact the team was 25th in the NHL in goals against per game was not a huge surprise. Conversely, the Thrashers probably scored more goals (12th in NHL in goals for) due to their style of play and defensive indifference than sheer top-end talent. The defense is actually quite solid with Ron Hainsey, Zach Bogosian, Johnny Oduya and Tobias Enstrom as the top four. As a result, expect the Thrashers to add some offense this offseason.

Changing from AMD CPU to Intel i5 and Asus motherboard?
Likes # 0
Posted June 23, 2013 at 11:40AM
Hello guys, Bascially I am running a AMD FX-4100 and gigabyte motherboard in my current system but will be soon changing to a Intel i5 using a Asus motherboard. My question is how can I go around this without having to completely re install Windows 7? I have heard that it is possible and that it may just be a case of plug and play but I would like a solid answer just to be sure. Im not very experienced with drivers etc so is their a program that I would need to help me remove all old drivers? I presume Windows will automatically recognize the new motherboard and install them itself no?
Thankyou for taking your time to read this

Save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and do a fresh clean install on the new motherboard. Before you dismantle the old system run File Transfer Wizard and save settings. Back up your data. W7 is pretty good at finding drivers for hardware but may take best part of a day to finish installing updates, be patient, then run transfer wizard to transfer settings to new installation.

It will not work, you will need to do a clean install. Windows 7 will install a lot of drivers for your motherboard not all though.But the Mobo will come with a driver disk which you will use after you have installed Windows 7.
You can then update Windows and copy your personal files into the new setup.

I did get away with this recently, having changed from an old Asus to new Gigabyte board, but staying with AMD. I was surprised that the new setup sprang to life immediately and all I had to do was install the sound from the new mb CD. I only did it just to see what would happen, but its been working perfectly now for 2 weeks. However, as implied by the others, you will have a lot of dross still on your HDD and you could suffer performance problems, but if this doesn't bother you, you could get away with it.

Thankyou for you replys guys! I think the best option is to obviously re install W7 as this will save me alot of hiccups in the future. As Im not too confident in doing the whole procedure myself I am going to get a friend to do it for me, how much would I be expected to pay roughly? UK btw

Thank you chronos! What would be the correct steps after installing the motherboard and CPU? Set boot options to cd/drive then just let windows do its thing? Or would I need to remove current motherboard drivers before installing the motherboard?

If you are doing a clean install of Windows 7 then you do not need to uninstall anything. You might like to format your hard-drive before a clean install. Instructions here.
When you have installed Windows and before updating,insert your motherboard disk and install any drivers that Windows 7 did not. That is usually your lan drivers allowing you to get on the internet and maybe the sound drivers as well. But just click on install all as only the ones needed will be installed anyway.
Once your mobo drivers are installed you should be able to update your copy of Windows.

I Can.
I was the quintessential "I can't" child -- the poster child for the Advancement of the word "can't."
Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately followed by my whining, "I caaaaan't." Consequently, very few tasks or goals that I set out to accomplished were ever completed.
One evening, my mother called me into the family room where she was reading an article in the TV Guide. On the cover was a photo of Marlo Thomas, currently starring in the popular sitcom, That Girl. Mother knew that the show was one of my favorites and Marlo one of my show biz idols.
"I want you to read this article," Mother began. "It's about Marlo Thomas. She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life. She went from saying, "I can't" to "I can!" According to this article, she was able to restructure her life, and eventually her career, by learning the principles in the poem."
Sensing a conspiracy between Marlo Thomas and my mother, I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the glossy pages. There was Marlo, looking perky and adorable. Her smile was radiant and her trademark shoulder-flip hair was styled to perfection. I thought it must be grand to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of; a simple poem entitled, "I Can."
"I want you to memorize that poem," Mother said firmly.
"Mamaaaaa," I belly-ached. "I can't learn that poem. It's too loooong."
"It's not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow."
One does not say "no" to my mother. She coined the phrase: "When I tell you to jump you ask how high." She was the Queen of Dogwood Drive. I adored her, but this was going too far!
I slumped my shoulders, turned and trudged my way back to my bedroom with the magazine loosely held in my small right hand. With a heavy heart, I plopped on my bed, fell back against the cotton spread and began my task.
"Can't is a word that is foe to ambition," I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again until it held firm in my heart. "An enemy ambush to shatter your will..." I continued the process until the following evening, when I proudly recited the poem that has continued to be my motto.
Ms. Thomas did not know me, but her story forever changed my life.
Saying, "I can," helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying "I can" encouraged me to accomplish things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will sustain me to seventy-seven. Maybe even longer.

The ruling has excited First Amendment legal experts, who have been concerned about the FCC's growing control of televised material in recent years. Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to the Christian Science Monitor about the decision and discussions in Congress about the FCC taking authority over the Internet: "Internet-delivered video – relying on a technology that eliminates previous barriers to free speech, and makes the free press even more accessible to and by all – should, arguably, remain free of unnecessary regulations that were uniquely intended for the environment of legacy video platforms."

Weight Restrictions Ordinance
--- (2) ---
State Law reference— Weight limits generally, Minn. Stats. § 169.822 et seq.
- Sec. 42-90. - Weight restrictions.
Council resolution; streets designated for commercial vehicle operation. The city council by resolution may designate streets under its jurisdiction on which travel by commercial vehicles, except school buses not exceeding seven ton, in excess of 8,000 pounds gross weight is prohibited. The city engineer or public works superintendent shall erect appropriate signs on such streets. No person shall operate a commercial vehicle on such posted streets in violation of the restrictions stated unless the person has an overweight permit authorized under section 42-92, pertaining to permits.
Vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires. No vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires shall be operated upon the streets or highways in the city:
Where the gross weight on any wheel exceeds 9,000 pounds;
Where the gross weight on any single axle exceeds 18,000 pounds;
Where the maximum wheel load:
On the foremost and rearmost steering axles exceeds 600 pounds per inch of tire width or the manufacturer's recommended load, whichever is less; or
On other axles exceeds 500 pounds per inch of tire width or the manufacturer's recommended load, whichever is less;
Where the gross weight on any axle of a tridem exceeds 15,000 pounds, except that for vehicles to which an additional axle has been added prior to June 1, 1981, the maximum gross weight on any axle of a tridem may be up to 16,000 pounds provided the gross weight of the tridem combination does not exceed 39,900 pounds where the first and third axles of the tridem are spaced nine feet apart;
Where the gross weight on any group of axles exceeds the weights permitted under this article with any or all of the interior axles disregarded under gross weights subtracted from the gross weight of all axles of the group under consideration.
Vehicles not equipped with pneumatic tires. A vehicle or combination of vehicles not equipped with pneumatic tires shall be governed by the provisions of this section, except that the gross weight limitations shall be reduced by 40 percent.
Gross weight schedule. Except as otherwise provided, no vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires shall be operated upon the highways of this state where the total gross weight on any group of two or more consecutive axles of any vehicle or combination of vehicles exceeds that given in the following table for the distance between the centers of the first and last axles of any group of two or more consecutive axles under consideration; unless otherwise noted, the distance between axles being measured longitudinally to the nearest even foot, and when the measurement is a fraction of exactly one-half foot the next largest whole number in feet shall be used, except that when the distance between axles is more than three feet four inches and less than three feet six inches the distance of four feet shall be used:
Single axle |
18,000 |
16,000 |
14,000 |
12,000 |
10,000 |
8,000 |
Two axles spaced within |
34,000 |
30,222 |
26,444 |
22,667 |
18,889 |
15,111 |
Three axles spaced within |
* |
38,222 |
33,444 |
28,667 |

Four axles spaced within |
* |
45,778 |
40,056 |
34,333 |
28,611 |
22,889 |
For nine-ton restricted routes see the nine-ton gross weight table for maximum weights allowed on groups of three and four axles spaced less than nine and 14 feet respectively.
No combination of axle weights shall exceed those weights specified for nondesignated nine-ton routes.
To calculate the restricted gross weight for five or more axles, find standard legal weight limit in the nine-ton gross weight table, and multiply that number by the road posted axle limit and divide the product by the number nine. The result will be the restricted gross weight in pounds for the applicable number of axles.
Tandem axle load. Notwithstanding any lesser weight in pounds shown in this table, but subject to the restrictions on gross vehicle weights in subsection (b)(3) of this section, two consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load of 34,000 pounds each and a combined gross load of 68,000 pounds, provided the overall distance between the first and last axles of the consecutive sets of tandem axles is 36 feet or more.
Maximum axle weight. The gross vehicle weight of all axles of a vehicle or combination of vehicles shall not exceed:
For any vehicle or combination of vehicles with five axles (properly spaced) or less, 73,280 pounds; or
For any vehicle or combination of vehicles with six or more axles (properly spaced), 80,000 pounds.
Exception. The maximum weights specified in this subsection for five consecutive axles shall not apply to a four-axle ready-mix concrete truck which was equipped with a fifth axle prior to June 1, 1981. The maximum weights in this subsection for five consecutive axles shall not apply to a four-axle ready-mix concrete truck which was equipped with a fifth axle prior to June 1, 1981. The maximum gross weight on four or fewer consecutive axles of vehicles excepted by this subsection shall not exceed any maximum weight specified for four or fewer consecutive axles in this article.
Lesser gross weight. In all cases where gross weights in any amount less than in this section set forth are fixed, limited or restricted on any highway or bridge by or pursuant to any other ordinance, such lesser gross weight as so fixed, limited or restricted shall not be exceeded, and in such case shall control instead of the gross weight set forth in this article.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 2, 9-24-1985; Ord. No. 97-8, § 2, 4-8-1997)
State law reference— Weight limits, Minn. Stats. § 169.824.
- Sec. 42-91. - Seasonal weight restrictions.
The city engineer or public works superintendent may prohibit the operation of vehicles upon any street under his jurisdiction or impose weight restrictions on vehicles to be operated on such street whenever the street, by reason of deterioration, rain, snow or other climatic conditions, will be seriously damaged or destroyed unless the use of vehicles on the street is prohibited or the permissible weights thereof reduced. He shall erect and maintain signs plainly indicating the prohibition or restriction at each end of that portion of the street affected. Such weight restrictions shall be generally imposed from March 15 to May 15 of each year unless the city engineer or public works superintendent determines to extend the period to protect such streets. The city engineer or public works superintendent shall report to the city council such extension, and such extension shall be effective for such extended period unless the council, by resolution, determines a lesser period. No person shall operate a vehicle on a posted street in violation of the prohibition or restriction unless the person has a permit authorized under section 42-92.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 3, 9-24-1985; Ord. No. 97-8, § 3, 4-8-1997)
- Sec. 42-92. - Permits—Issuance and liability.
Regular permits. The city council may issue overweight permits permitting a person to operate a truck or vehicle on a posted street with a gross weight in excess of the posted weight limit if it determines that an undue hardship or exceptional difficulties would result if the person could not operate a vehicle or truck with a gross weight in excess of the posted weight limit on the street posted as provided in section 42-91 and this section. No permit shall be issued unless the person agrees to be liable for all street damage resulting from his operations. The city council may impose such terms and conditions, including a written agreement, an assurance bond, a cash deposit or similar security, relating to liability for street damage as may be appropriate under an individual permit, after giving consideration to the street involved, the period of the overweight permit, the likelihood and degree of street damage, and other matter it deems relevant.
Administrative day permits. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the city clerk is authorized to issue one-day overweight permits. Such one-day overweight permits may be issued by the city clerk when he determines that the proposed use is an isolated use and not an extended or regular use that will or is likely to occur over more than one 24-hour period. No one-day overweight permit shall be issued unless the applicant agrees to be liable for all street damage resulting from his operations.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 4, 9-24-1985)
- Sec. 42-93. - Same—Application.
Every application for an overweight permit shall be made to the clerk on a form provided by him. It shall be accompanied by payment to the clerk of the prescribed fee. The clerk shall present the application to the council for action.
- Sec. 42-94. - Same—Fees.
The fee for an overweight permit shall be as established by ordinance.
Permit fees shall be paid in advance and shall not be refunded in whole or in part if the permit is granted.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 5, 9-24-1985)
- Sec. 42-95. - Same—Duration.
The overweight permit shall be valid for the period set forth on the permit, which in no event shall be issued for more than 14 days.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 7, 9-24-1985)
- Sec. 42-96. - Same—Transferability.
No overweight permit shall be transferred to any other vehicle or truck. The permit shall relate to a specific vehicle or truck and shall not be changed to another vehicle or truck. The operator of a vehicle or truck hauling materials on an overweight permit shall have the overweight permit in his possession at all times during such hauling and shall display the same to a peace officer upon request.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 8, 9-24-1985)
- Sec. 42-97. - Penalty.
Any person violating any provisions of this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both.
Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) of this section to the contrary, unless there are mitigating or extenuating circumstances, and to the extent permitted by law, minimum fines recommended for imposition are those established in the following schedule:
(Vehicles overweight as to single axles, tandem axles, tridem axles, or overweight as to registered gross weight or over maximum vehicle weight allowed (80,000 lbs.))
Pounds Overweight |
Fine |
1,000 to 2,999 |

600.00 |
8,000 to 8,999 |
700.00 |
Any fines imposed pursuant to this article shall be in addition to any civil penalty imposed and collected under Minn. Stats. § 169.871.
(Ord. No. 85-5, § 10, 9-24-1985; Ord. No. 97-8, § 4, 4-8-1997)

Violence against children is a global problem, but one that often stays hidden by children who do not speak of in fear of the repercussions it might have on themselves or their families and friends.
Violence against children is defined as any form of violence, whether physical, mental and sexual, abandonment or negligence, ill-treatment or exploitation that puts their lives in danger or negatively impacts their lives, physical or psychological health dignity, or development.
Marta Santos Pais, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children

Beware, Hostel wanted to charge me for my stay a second time upon checkout. I had paid full amount (without getting a receipt) when checking in. At checkout the hostel questioned my word several times in front of other guests, which was highly stressful and embarrassing. After a good while hostel admitted their screw up and I could checkout delayed to my flight!

New owners had just taken over the place so they were cleaning it up and making changes to the rooms and bathrooms. It's not a very big place so you were often in the middle of this. Also the communal area is not very big and is also the reception. I often had the feeling that I was a guest in someones house rather than a hostel, also because it had a decent number of long term resident. The host are very helpful. Ask them to book Bradley for a tour! 7th street is walking distance!

We got robbed right at the entrance of the hostel! When we arrived the staff didn´t tell us that we shouldn´t park our car outside. I chose Melville because it was supposed to be "safer" and we got our radio, spare tire and ever the steering wheel stolen!!! Choose another place to stay!!

I have a few maritime dictionaries asquired over the years and the word pulley does not appear in any of them. Sheave is the only word used for the object. I do not purport to know the reason in the way that I know why a floor is not a deck ( a floor being something completely different than a deck on a vessel).
de Kerchove's Maritime Dictionary, which runs close to a thousand pages, describes a sheave thusly:
A grooved wheel in a block, mast, yard, and so on, over which a rope passes. The sheave, which is bushed, rotates upon the pin. Sheaves are made of wood, bronze, or galvinized cast iron or steel. for running riggin where severe or heavy intermittent strains are expected, as in the case of runners and topping lifts, brass sheaves are used.
Wooden sheaves are made of lignum vitaem wood bushed with bronze. Iron or steel sheaves are used with flexible wire rope to prevent galvanic action, which would soon damage the rope. They are of much greater diameter than those for fiber rope (15-20 times the rope's diameter). The groove should fit the rope accurately so as to support it for one third of it's circumference. in practise the diameter of the groove at the bottom should be 1/16th inch greater than the diameter of the rope, with an angle of flare from 50 to 60 degrees. end quote
Elevator pasengers may refer to pulleys, those who wish not to appear lubberly should call a sheave a sheave. Thank you for your time and attention.

Five-time Pro Bowl linebacker James Harrison has announced his retirement.
Harrison spent 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and ended his career in what turned out to be his final year with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The 36-year-old Harrison entered the league in 2002 as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State and he went on to be named Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 when his Steelers team won Super Bowl XLIII.
"I have made the difficult decision to retire as of today," Harrison's statement read.
"My love for my family and the need to be there for them outweighs my desire to play the game. I have missed too many experiences with them because I devoted so much time to my career.
"My love for the game isn't strong enough to make up for missing one more birthday or first day of school.
"I am sincerely thankful to the people who have supported me over the years.
"First and foremost my family, the Rooney family and my Steeler family, also Mr. Brown, the Bengals organization and fans, and last but FAR from least, Steeler Nation."

Eagles ousted in opening round of 6A volleyball playoffs
The season came to an end for the New York Mills volleyball team, a season that provided a lot of experience, but unfortunately, zero wins.
Norman County West was victorious in three straight sets, 25-19, 25-18 and 25-14.
Taylor Plautz led the Eagles with 10 blocks. Jackie Imsande had eight.
Offensively, Imsande had nine kills. Megan Cole had four and Lexi Rankka had seven assists.
The loss drops the Eagles final record to 0-26.

In our continuing effort to 'think outside the box' in FRC, we're answering a Frank Answers Fridays question on Monday. How's that for creativity? (Are you guys buying this?)
In any case, today's good question is from Navid Shafa, of Team 1983, Skunkworks Robotics, in Des Moines, Washington State.
What is FIRST's plan for International expansion and what regions are due for new events?
Kate Pilotte, the FRC Kit of Parts Manager, is leading the development of the 2015 Control System. She has this update on Alpha Testing:
Hopefully by now you're aware of the transition to a new control system for the 2015 season. There's much preparation that goes in to releasing a new system, and we want to make it as safe, robust, simple, cost effective, and powerful as possible. One of the ways we'll do this is through early "Alpha Testing," and I'd like to use this post to help you understand more about what that means…
Check out this great video from the Michigan Engineering Zone (MEZ) in the University of Michigan's Detroit Center: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=461865103895347&set=vb.127114000703794&type=3&theater
I understand a version of this video was shown at least three times on the Big 10 Network during the first University of Michigan football game of the season last Saturday! That's a Win!
Today's question is from Andrew Palardy, from Team 33, in Pontiac, MI. I asked one of our great FRC staffers, Matt Pilotte, to respond to this one directly. Matt is our Electrical Engineering Manager, and manages all FRC Engineering work on the control system and FMS, including software. He also monitors, along with other staffers, event activity as official FRC competitions are taking place. If you're at an official event anywhere in the world, Matt is likely keeping track of what the FMS is doing and watching the webcast if there's one available.*
In case you missed the email blast, we are looking for beta test teams for the 2014 season. See details here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/email-blast-08-22-13.
That deadline for applications is coming up soon! Be sure to get your application in if you want to be considered.
I'll blog again soon.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of FRC. The program simply would not exist without them. And as our program continues to grow, the need for top-notch, experienced, dedicated volunteers grows with it.
Many of you are probably aware that we have several 'Chief' volunteer positions in FRC. Chief volunteers have significant responsibility in their area of assignment. In many situations, we rely on them so heavily that they are essentially extensions of the FRC staff. Our current Chief volunteers are:

Baseball- Yawn -Go to sleep.Submitted by Wade Griffis (not verified) on Fri, 02/17/2012 - 8:24pm.
The last time baseball was interesting was when one of it's most famous players was a drunk. I believe his name was Babe Ruth. He did accomplish a great thing though: He lent his name to Baby Ruth, a really great candy bar. »

To live on purpose means bringing your unique contributions to the world as a meaningful offering of service to something greater than yourself.
In your journal, list all your gifts and talents, from languages you speak to parenting skills. Don't be modest! These are your assets. Then list what breaks your heart: children in need, climate change, illiteracy, animal rights, health inequality, civil unrest, inadequate elder care—the list could go on and on. Consider how you could contribute to changing that. This is your compass and fuel for action and gratification. Anything on these lists may reveal one of your purposes.
Since time began, people have had close relationships with animals: in the wild as a food source or threat, as a spirit totem connecting us to other higher domains, as allies, as domesticated work animals, or as companions and pets.
Perhaps you are fortunate to have a pet. If so, find ways to spend more time playing and learning from one another. Try to listen to what your pet is communicating to you. If you don't have a pet, visit an animal shelter to see if you might want to volunteer. Or develop a relationship with a friend's pet. If you're able, try to observe animals in the wild and celebrate their diversity and interconnection.
Spending time with elders can be a great gift not only to them but to yourself.
Sit and talk with an elder, whether a family member, neighbor, or someone else you know. Slow your pace, share some tea, listen with an open heart, and practice kindness and compassion. Ask questions, be patient, and keep your humor. You may be surprised to learn their life story—a story of hardship, privilege, risk, or reward—and you may be overwhelmed to find how rich a life they've led and how much wisdom they hold. Seek out more than one person advanced in years. If you are lucky, you just may end up with a dear friend and a role model for how you'll want to be as you age.
Research shows that acts of kindness not only benefit the person who receives the kindness but also release endorphins responsible for feelings of contentment in the person offering the kindness.
A simple daily act of kindness for yourself, for someone else, or for Nature will do wonders for your mood. Can you commit to thirty days of kindness? For yourself, set aside time in silence to affirm your life's path, to recognize your courage in trying something new, or to acknowledge being just the way you are. Forgive a mistake. Take time to walk outside and notice beauty, or just rest in a peaceful spot. For others, find small, simple ways to offer love, support, and encouragement with notes, calls, sharing food, doing a chore, or bringing flowers. For Nature, invite in wildlife with garden plants and birdseed, or give to causes and charities that work to restore habitat and diversity.
Listening with an open heart and without agenda is one of the greatest gifts we can offer someone.
Invite a friend or family member to go for a walk or for tea. Ask how that person is doing— and be present for the answer. With sincere open questions, encourage them to share more deeply. Or make a phone call to a good friend: Sometimes it's when speaking on the phone that we get the chance to really listen. When someone is lonely, sad, or trying to make a big decision, it is a gift to track and remember what is being shared so you can be a clear mirror for them.
I think about forgiveness when I'm watering the garden and suddenly little or no water comes out because there's a kink in the hose.
Is there a situation or person in your life you have not forgiven? Are you carrying resentment about something within yourself? Take this opportunity to be completely honest. Write down on a piece of paper: "I don't forgive because____." Reflect on how long you have been living with anger, resentment, or negative judgment, and think about how it makes you feel. Write three benefits for holding on to the resentment exactly as you're carrying it. Maybe it's outrage or disappointment, or maybe it seems easier than dealing with the situation directly.

Read MoreNot for Power, it is for the people, says Power Star Pawan Kalyan March 06, 2015 17:22
Tollywood Power star Pawan Kalyan, who founded Jana Sena Party last year visited many villages yesterday, in which farmers in hundreds have voluntarily donated their lands for Capital. After discussing with them, Pawan Kalyan became emotional, while addressing the people. He suggested the government to be instrumental in enriching people's lives. 'It's okay to build a prestigious capital. But not at the cost of people's lives', he commented. The farmers are not ready to lose their lands which will reap the harvest thrice a year, he added. He said that the movement is for the people, not for the power. He said that he is not against to any politician in person nor have personal conflicts with anyone. He hinted that the development should be split equally. 'One should notice that the land acquired for building our capital is wider than Singapore', he said. 'Many ministers claimed that 90 percent of the farmers have voluntarily donated their lands. What will be the farmers' source of income, if not agriculture? He questioned the government. He said that he requested Mr. Modi that the bifurcation should not divide people. He recollected goreti venkanna's palle kanneeru pedutondi. He even said that he will be behind bars, if protest. He said that he is not preaching the Government to change its protocols from the root level. He asked what will be the farmers' future, if TDP doesn't come into the power the next time. Below are his remaining points: • When will the capital develop, if we pool the lands from 32 thousand acres? Has anyone estimated the pros and cons of land pooling? • Just because, Mr. Chandra Babu's governance is good, I gave support to him in elections. • I am not against to land pooling. But how the government is operating the whole is important. Government should give some kind of assurance to the farmers. • The bifurcation has not been done in a proper way and the leaders from both states are responsible for that. • People in India depend a lot on agriculture. • Govt need to increase the package. • It's the leaders who are committing the mistakes and people are getting the wrath of that. • We should get rid of some crab minds. • Singapore is known for its commitment leadership and India for corruption, at large scale. • Singapore's Government is its biggest asset. • It took 25 long years to build Singapore's capital. • Villages are the back bones for India. Hence they should not be left behind. • A special committee should be deployed for the three villages. • Modi's land pooling forgot few sectors. • Top Bureaucrats can lose the land, but definitely not the farmers. • 40 percent of the coastal area in Andhra Pradesh is in one hand. • There is no use of fighting against SEZs. • Andhra Pradesh should fight for a separate statehood and if it won't happen, then that is the BJP's biggest failure.

RBI on March 6th eased the norms for home loans for up to Rs 10 lakh by allowing banks to include stamp duty and registration charges to the cost of a unit, which gives a boost to affordable housing. "With a view to encourage availability of affordable housing to such borrowers, it has been decided that in cases where the cost of the house does not exceed Rs 10 lakh, banks may add stamp duty, registration and other documentation charges to the cost of the unit for calculating LTV (loan to value) ratio," RBI said in a notification. Presently, banks do not include stamp duty, registration and other documentation charges in the cost of housing property. "It has been brought to our notice that these amounts from around 15 per cent of the cost of the house and place a burden on the borrowers from economically weaker sections (EWS) and low income groups (LIG)," RBI said while easing the norms. RBI also said that in cases of projects sponsored by government and statutory authorities, banks may disburse the loans as per the payment stages prescribed by such authorities, even where payments sought from house buyers are not linked to the stages of construction.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been named among the 30 most influential people on the internet by Time magazine. The list published by the magazine also features US President Barack Obama. The list, analysed social-media followings, site traffic and overall ability to drive news, also includes British author of the Harry Potter series J K Rowling and singers Taylor Swift and Beyonce to come to the conclusion. The magazine said that the Indian Prime Minister has roughly 38 million followers on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, putting him ahead of many other leaders. "And unlike many of his contemporaries, Modi recognises that social media can be invaluable when trying to reach India's 200 million-plus online population directly," the Time magazine said. "Yes, it helps to be famous in real life. But the rise of social networks has levelled the playing field, allowing unknowns to command audiences rivalling those of real-world leaders, even if by accident," it said. Modi, an ardent user of social media to communicate with people, announced in an unconventional way, Obama's strategic visit to India in January this year. He took to Twitter to make the announcement, "bypassing traditional media outlets," the magazine said. The Time magazine's list also includes reality star Kim Kardashian, singer Justin Beiber, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Chinese actress Yao Chen, singer Shakira, photographer behind the hugely popular blog Humans of New York Brandon Stanton and TV personality Jimmy Fallon.

Mahindra & Mahindra has reportedly started working on a new autonomous car. With this new project Mahindra joins the already increasing list of global marquee working on similar projects like Google, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Tesla. The new self-driving car will most likely be built in the lines of Mahindra's electric car subsidiary Mahindra Reva. A senior executive of the company has revealed that Mahindra Reva has already submitted proof of concepts for driverless cars in the UK and Singapore. He said that, "We have already begun experiments in our R&D facility in Bengaluru. Once we get approvals from the respective governments, we'll start testing these cars on road." Mahindra plans to test the prototypes in UK and Singapore. The executive said, "Indian roads are too crowded to test driverless cars at the moment. Currently, our focus is on the US, Europe and South-East Asian markets. Once these experiments are successful, we might start road tests in India as well." Now auto manufacturers are focusing more on catering to the comfort and safety needs of the buyers. Maruti Suzuki has created a revolution by introducing AMT technology in affordable cars. After comfort and advance safety additions like auto transmission, cruise control, standardization of ABS and air bags, the next in line is autonomous technology. By Premji

The Power Star Pawan Kalyan, who toured the capital city region of the Andhra Pradesh State, has taken chance to fire on all the political parties including the TDP, for which he has campaigned during the elections in 2014. He got good response from all the sections of people in the villages that are going to be vanished in the name of capital city. The Janasena chief has clearly hinted that, his party going to establish as powerful and reliable political platform in future. He questioned the ruling TDP and its chief Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, who is CM of the state over too much requirement of the land for capital city by the government. He asked the government, that how much land actually needed for having capital city (in his opinion 5000-8000 acres are sufficient), why the government is going for 30000-35000 acres, regarding this he said that, the area is nearly equal to Singapore (according to him), which took 50 years to be completed. He said that he is against the policy of land acquisition act, if it is interpreted for the capital building, he also said that grabbing even acre extra is not accepted, if the government tries to collect or occupy the land without the farmers (land owners) consent in lieu of appropriate compensation. He stated in a strong words "For the benefit of the farmers, I'm ready to go for fast unto death" and he also said that he has no partiality towards any party supporters and supporting villages, as he is the man of common people. He came across the burdens and troubles of farmers, at the moment he said he is also cultivating, so that he knows the affection on the mother like land. He said that he has no objection if the farmers give their fertile lands to the government with fullest satisfaction. In reply to Pawan Kalyan's comments the CM of AP said, building a capital city within just 5000 acres is viable, but that won't accommodate world class infrastructure and companies in future. He added that the master plan for the core capital region would be given by the Singapore Government agency in June. -Kannamsai

For anyone who can't make the draft... You can preset the auction values for each player (or stick with the default) and it will auto-draft for you. From the main league page click on 'Edit Auction draft list' on the left side of the page and you can alter the values. The below is from ESPN: Each team in an Auction draft league will have an "Edit Auction Draft Values" link available on the top-right of their main My Team page. On this page each NBA player has a predetermined value (based on projected performance), which can be customized and saved. If no values are submitted pre-draft, the system recognizes the default ESPN Experts Auction Values. When the draft begins, the values are imported into the draft application. If you have set your values and are NOT online when the Auction is in progress, the system will bid up to that approximate value on every player. If you have NOT set your values, the default value will be used. In both cases, these values will only be used if you are on Autobid, in which case, the system will randomly vary between 50% and 110% of the set/default values.
what's the total amount of $ we have to spend? i'm gonna have to pre-set the values, i won't be around tonight.
just to get thbis straight- we have 200 Mio to spend on the first 3 rounds of players and the rest will be usual ranking draft?
This will be very interesting. I can see some people blowing 75% of there $200 on there first 2 picks. you have to be disiplined and think like a real GM with a salary cap.
You have to remember this is a keeper league. I have to remind slippy not to blow all $200 on Shaq and Sean May.

Entourage Effect
�CBD-enriched health foods, tinctures and oils are the next revolution in food and medicine� � so says Reality Sandwich author Allan Badiner http://www.realitysandwich.com/high_health_cbd_food_supply.
CBD = Cannabidiol
There currently is an explosion of entrepreneurial activity and creativity around making up for lost time with CBD. LA-based cannabis physician Allan Frankel explains: �up until this past year it was nearly impossible to help patients using CBD. Cannabis growers were focused on the �stoniest� weed�, hence CBD, which is non-psychoactive and mitigates the effect of THC, was nearly lost in this community�. Source: http://www.realitysandwich.com/high_health_cbd_food_supply .
Our experts are still in the early stages of understanding the synergistic effects of all the extracts from the hemp plant that are known today. More and more extracts are being found each year with now over 400 cannabiniods being listed http://dixiebotanicals.com/about/hemp-history/ .
The overall, combined effect of certain cannabinoids, terpenoids, flavenoids and perhaps another 200 molecules � all working together and carefully balanced (as in nature) produces what Dr Ethan Russo calls an �Entourage Effect�.

Hemp Seed Oil and Skin Care
US Hemp Oil�s Chris Boucher has been a long time hemp advocate and has a few tips for our readers who may have �problem� skin. Chris would suggest a two part program where one applies the hemp oil directly to the skin, particularly on those �problem� areas. The ingredients in hemp seed oil help to soothe problem areas while promoting the appearance of soft, radiant looking skin. The second part of the program involves taking two teaspoons of natural, organic hemp oil per day as a nutritional supplement. Hemp seed oil has a number of beneficial ingredients, including essential fatty acids and essential amino acids. These essential elements cannot be synthesized by the body � they must come from your diet. Try Chris� program for 4 � 6 weeks and see if your skin looks better! A good website is here: http://www.allgreenrx.com/hempseedoil

Endocannabinoid Discovery
The endocannabinoid system within the human body is one of science�s newest and most exciting discoveries. Here there are two receptor sites on cells of the brain, internal organs and digestive tract (CB-1 and CB-2) that have been shown to be the largest neuro-transmitter system with the entire human body. This neuro-transmitter system regulates relaxation, eating, sleeping and even cognitive function. Phyto-cannabinoids or plant based cannabinoids, such as CBD can assist the body�s health and wellness.

Nichols has a background in both the fishing industry and in medical device engineering. "We aim to engineer quality fishing products that are truly more than just another size or shape. Our goal is to provide the finest quality fishing products and pick up where other manufacturers stop.
Many products are made the way they have always been made, without looking at the real purpose and function of the baits. We look at all of the products and techniques that fisherman rely on to catch fish and build our baits with perfection in mind," said Nichols.
The company's expertise lies with anything made with a blade and a hook. They use a brass head system that not only gets the lead out but provides an enormous amount of freedom in product design. Also unique to Brass N' Blades is the availability of both single and double hook designs on most models. Brass N' Blades will be exhibiting at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic Expo in New Orleans. Dealer inquires may be made via email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 903-469-3156. The company has a Facebook page and online store at www.brassnblades.com.

The vehicle was going from Alameda to Foster City when the 10 occupants, all in their 30s, noticed smoke
Five women in their 30s were killed and four others injured when their stretch limousine caught fire on a bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area, police said.
Five other women were able to escape when flames overtook the white limousine last night as it headed west on the San Mateo Bridge, California Highway Patrol spokesman Art Montiel said.
The vehicle was going from Alameda to Foster City when the 10 occupants, all in their 30s, noticed smoke.
The car pulled over; the driver and four others were able to get out, Highway Patrol Officer Amelia Jack told CNN affiliate KGO.
The women tried to retrieve the other five but were unsuccessful, Jack said.
"We have no idea right now where they were going or where they were coming from," Jack said.
Of the survivors, Jack said one had severe burns and three others suffered minor to moderate injuries that included smoke inhalation. The four were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment, while the fifth person who escaped was not hospitalised.
Some good Samaritans who pulled over and attempted to help were also unsuccessful, the report said.
Several lanes of the bridge were closed as officers probed the cause of the accident. One lane of traffic was reopened early on Sunday, police said.
