The growth of the solar industry may soon face the reality of not having enough skilled workers to satisfy demand, suggests a recent report by The Solar Foundation and the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). Despite a dragging economy overall, installed solar capacity has increased dramatically in the past few years. In 2011 alone, the cumulative installed solar capacity in the United States nearly doubled from 2,095 MW to…

I completely wiped my phone (did a format of data, system etc. on CWM, wiped dalvik/cache etc.). Now I'm stuck with CWM and want to install a rom. I tried to put the .zip on the phone via "adb push /data/media". However, after doing that when I select "choose zip from /sdcard" it says "Couldn't open directory. No files found.".
If I open the shell via adb, I can find the /data/media folder as well as /sdcard, however, I can't cd into it. But I can see (by the folder-size) that the folder contains the .zip.
Any ideas? Is there maybe another way of installing a rom via CWM than through a zip on /sdcard?
adb sideload isn't working either

America´s Cup 2013 - Race 2 - another win to the Kiwis
Sun, 8 Sep 2013
America´s Cup 2013 - Race 2 - Oracle first into the start box, a little later than should have. Spithill went for penalty in the prestart, it was very very close, but there was no contact between the boats so Spithill did not get it and lost control of the start.
Both boats slow just before the start. Emirates first to accelerate, wins start and the very short upwind leg, first to the top mark by two seconds.
Oracle foil gybes first. The Kiwis are blocking every move from the American boat. About three lengths ahead at the bottom mark, seven seconds ahead.
Emirates Team New Zealand stretching up the work, but covering every move from Oracle USA.
Boat speeds are very similar, but the Kiwis were outsailing their rivals and as expected gaining in the corners.
Certainly they making gains on every tack and covered every move.
With passing lanes covered Team New Zealand kept extending. Oracle Team USA 46 seconds behind at the top mark for the second time.
All Oracle USA could do was follow down to the finish. The delta was an awful 52 seconds.
Heads down on the American boat. Down two zip on the water and down two zip off the water because of the AC45 Kingpost saga, four zip in summary.

davidterrell80's post is fine for folks with a little more scratchbuilding skills. The factory replacement are better in that they'll give you an -exact- fit with no work, and the right color already applied. BTW pay no attention to that man behind the rudder. When you get the new ones, first make a *template* from the factory parts. Draw around them on paper with a pencil, and if you need to again later you can make another set. Maybe scan them, and you can print a template. The h-stab sets directly on a flat surface after you peel off the old stab. The v-stab/rudder however has two tabs that fit into mating slots in the fuse, one at the front of the stab and another at the bottom of the rudder. You'll need to dig/cut out the old stab material for the new You'll need to untape the wheel/axle and remount on the new rudder. Actually I suggest saving the remount until the very last step so it's not in the way while you're mounting the new v-stab/rudder assembly. According to the -picture- you'll need to unmount three parts from the old assembly becaues they're not included in the kit. There're two control horns, and a part that 'plugs' into the h-stab to hold it down, and then supports the v-stab. In the pic see those 4 holes in the h-stab, that's where that part plugs into. Each horn has 3 parts, the long horn that goes through the surface, and two small square plates with a slot through them, one for each side of the surface that it's mounted to. Those parts are nylon and you should have no problem digging them out of the old foam and scraping old material off them with thumbnail because it's very difficult to get -any- adhesive to stick reliably to nylon. Mount the horns onto the rudder and elevator before assembling them onto the fuse, because it's easier to work on those tiny parts without the fuse in the way. I'm not 100% sure if you can mount the h-stab first, and then the v-stab, or if they need to fit together 'all at once.' Do dry fits to find out about that. Things like this, I've done 20 dry fits to make *sure* it's gonna go right because very often you have only *one* chance to get it right. Be as *stingy* as possible with the CA because it's very heavy!! I use a toothpick to transfer tiny-minute amounts of CA from the tip of the bottle to whatever joint I'm repairing. 'A drop' is waaaaay too much for any of these assembly points. For example after a horn/plates is fitted to a surface, I'd use one speckle-drop on each side where the horn goes onto the plate, and let it soak in, then another speckle-drop at a couple of spots where the plate mates to the surface, and let it wick under the plate. If you're seeing fillets of glue afterward -- that's too much glue. Fillets don't make any joint any stronger just heavier. You'll need to adjust and center the throws on the rudder/elevator: -- Hook up the control rods. -- Turn on the transmitter, and plug a battery into the plane. -- Set the transmitter trims to center. -- If you've got subtrims zero them out too. -- Eyeball the surfaces, and pinch/spread the 'U' shaped sections in the control rods till the rudder lines up *exactly* with the v-stab, and the elevator with the h-stab. Use something like a piece of 3x5 card or other thin cardboard, under good light, to get that alignment as *exact* as possible. Look at both sides of the rudder and top/bottom of the elevator very closely, look for light under the edges of the card. I'm gonna say it again: get this alignment as *exact* as possible because the more time you spend on this the more likely you'll have a more successful flight test with as little further trim as possible. For completeness, triple check CG. Triple check that the LG strut fairings are pointed as straight as possible. Then, have a maiden-V2.0. |

I recently built a BL champ from parts, and had to obviously place my tail on as well. What I did is to use CA on the body where the horizontal stab sits (not too much, but enough to cover most of that area when the pieces are pressed together). I also "dry fit" it first, including the vertical stab mount that is used to hold the rudder.
Once test fitted, I glued the horizontal stab as above, checking to ensure a good fit and alignment with the body. Let dry for about 20 minutes, then cut a slot for the bottom rudder hinge, and test fit that first too. I then added CA on the vertical stab front tab, plus a bit in the "slot" space up front. I CA'd the region where the mounting tongs/brace or piece will hold the vertical stab (already glued when I mounted the horizontal one), which is indented in the rudder section/vertical stabilizer, and some CA on the leading edge front of the bottom hinge. I slid the rudder assembly into this carefully, ensuring a good alignment of the parts and no CA excursion into any hinges used for movement of the flight controls. Again, after about 20 minutes, it was done! Not actually very difficult, but easier to do in stages to ensure good alignment. I also added a small drop of 5-minute epoxy where the control horns will have their control rods (at the base of that assembly at the surface of the flight control where the tabs are holding the horn) to secure it from breaking as I twist the horn to secure the rod. This totally avoids risking breakage of the delicate horn, and adds very little weight. The horn can easily twist up to 90 degrees for attaching the pushrods, and allows repeated twisting when aligning the rods to control-neutral. Darren/SkyCadet |

I find they give at least 10-15% or more flight times and can handle longer WOT times as well. SC |

Another good way to firm up the tail is using dilute Weldbond white glue. ~50% dilute, or 1:1 with water, and flow over the surfaces with a soft acrylic paint type nylon brush. After about 10 mins, I usually gently flow over th esurfaces without glue on the brush again to assist better coverage. Let dry for at least 1-2h and its much more solid.

I thought I posted this here but it may have been in the other main Champ thread... or I didn't look back far enough... so, at the risk of being redundant (doesn't help the rudder in any way though)... like the real Champ... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1683386 |

How to play games in OpenOffice spreadsheet, thanks to Easter eggs [Guide]
Posted By MatthewA On July 4, 2014 @ 6:44 AM In Linux,Mac OS X,Windows | 2 Comments
Easter eggs aren't just sumptuous chocolate. They are also added to software packages as secret responses that occur after entering an undocumented set of commands. The OpenOffice Calc software package has a few Easter eggs.
Open the OpenOffice spreadsheet application and select a cell. Then enter the following in the cell =GAME("StarWars") and press Enter. That opens up a window with a Space Invaders game in it as below.
Once you get the game up and running, move the spaceship with mouse to the left and right. Note that if you close the game and re-enter =GAME("StarWars") Space Invaders will not run. Instead, you must fully close the OpenOffice software.
Another Easter egg game included is Tictactoe (otherwise Noughts and Crosses). For that you should enter =GAME(A2:C4;"TicTacToe") in the A1 cell. Then press return to launch Tictactoe.
There are also a couple of other OpenOffice Easter eggs. Enter =STARCALCTEAM() into one of the spreadsheet cells. That opens a picture of the StarCalc developer team as below.
You can also enter random smilies into cells. Click on a cell, input =TTT() and press Enter. A random smiley should then be in the cell you selected as in the shot below.
Those are a few of the OpenOffice Easter eggs. There are also a couple included in the suite's word processor package.

My last post was twelve months ago today. And since then I have never worked harder nor have had more fun doing so than I have in helping to create TriSano. Today is also auspicious in that we will cut 1.0 RC2 in a few hours. All in all, it seems like a good time to start blogging again.
This time, however, I have a plan.
Yes, I'm still a proponent of REST. More so than ever, in fact. But my proselytizing days are over. For the next bit of time I plan to take a more pragmatic approach to assisting others to design and build scalable, resilient, Web APIs by showing step by step and line by line how to build a RESTful application and why.
But we won't build yet another blogging application or social networking, Web 4.0 thingy. What's needed here is an example of a typical, erm, enterprise application. Problem is, many enterprise applications are industry specific. Such things as trading applications, life insurance applications, loan management applications. What's more, these kinds of applications are way too complicated to be used for example purposes. But there's one application I can think of, one I used when explaining REST as a Burton Group consultant, that exemplifies most typical enterprise use cases and is universally understood: expense report management system. It's got it all: it's reasonably straightforward, it's got typical database-oriented functionality, there are stateful resources (an expense report can be open, submitted, approved, etc.), authentication and authorization requirements, and, if we get this far, integration.
I have not already designed or built this application. Instead, we'll be nice and lean and refine things as we go along. I'll be using Rails for this, which some might find un-enterprisey, but one fight at a time. If you're not using Rails or something similar for enterprise Web applications, well, get over it. There's no more excuses. Besides Rails is something I'm currently familiar with, it's got REST baked right in, and, honestly, it works. That and we have all these exciting things happening these days with Rack and Metal and Merb and so on.
So, for the next few months, I hope you follow along and contribute as together we build a RESTful enterprise expense reporting system. I will most likely host the code over on Google Code, and will keep the text distinct from this blog. Comments, of course, are extremely welcome. Those related to REST and Rails especially so. Just bear in mind that this project will be starting small and building. So if you see, for instance, that I've not used ETags where I should have, then that's likely because I haven't gotten there yet. That said, if it looks like I've covered a topic, and it's wrong or could be better, then, by all means, correct me.

Your most impressive match in the Dominion beta
I won a game as following:
around 15 min: 8:180 (8 is ours) final result, 8:0 we just didn't give up and finally we did it. Btw, shaco is really good not only on backdoor but also on defending a point with box. |
I won a game that was 256:2, we were the 2. I just started telling people what to do in chat, pinging bases, and in team fights (yes we had some) I just pinged who to focus and SOMEHOW everyone listened, and we all got our Thornmails around the same time (they were like Yi, Trynd, and 2 other auto attack chars) and we just SHUT THEM DOWN.
It was amazing. For some reason no one on my team gave up like in SR "omg gg I died once". We were behind TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR POINTS and we just proceeded to not give a **** and it was awesome. |
Mine was three minutes into game the other team 5 caps us and we suddenly go down to like 487-247. 20 minutes later we pull off the win with 0-107!
Best and worst part about dominion, dominating early game means nothing! |
game was close we won by one point.
1-0 |
Yesterday we won a game at 7:28. We 5 capped early on and then proceeded to dominate the whole rest of the game. It was like 0-456 or something. |
Yessss I love those comebacks.
I had 2 most impressive matches. 1 was,17 captures and 14def. Followed with facerolling people with Veigar.
Also,there was one match,where the enemy had 256,and we had 5. I was running to the point,and it was like ,5,4,3,2,1,capture! Somehow,we won xD |
Sadly, I was in several games where we totally dominated the enemy team. 5 cap for at least a minute straight. In both game, it was nearly obvious we would win, as we had around 450 with the enemy team at around 50. When they managed to stop the timer at 1, and turn it around and WIN on us, in two different games, it was not only truly amazing, but is just goes to show that there IS no foreseen outcome. ANYONE can turn a dominion match around.
I won as Rammus in 9 minutes roaming ;)

I think my poor layout has allowed you to miss the attempted organization of the page. It needs more definition, I know. The goal for that page is to keep from writing a book within a book. The modular Xorg has ~280 packages. In order to keep the instructions somewhat sane (IOW do not add 280 new pages and a new chapter, all with very similar instructions), the page was divided into logical sections, divided as freedesktop.org has divided them. The note you've mentioned, tells you to skip the luit instructions until later. Placement of the luit instructions are in the Applications section, with like packages. The grouping of the instructions and the interdependencies have made it impossible to make a linear set of instructions, not to mention two notes together that make the Applications section look really odd. I will see what can be done to clarify that a bit more. Keep in mind that the 'wait on luit' note needs to be close to the Application build instructions so that it is seen before luit is installed in error. If the above hasn't been more confusing, I am open to any additional suggestions you may have on the xorg-7 page. Thanks. -- DJ Lucas

Comments about Mighty Triassic Train Station (56 pcs):
These buddy and don figures are really well made. nice detail. My daughters love this set!! of course you have to have some figures to be shiny and tiny too, but the learning curve versions go nicely with them, even though they are smaller. the train pieces also work well with duplo. if you have duplo train pieces to use with this set, (like we do!) it is even better, as the train pieces tend to tip over if not careful. even with this detail, we feel its totally worth it for the awesome little figures that are hard to find!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My wife was pestering me Thursday, and most the day Friday about wanting to shoot her new rifle. I decided I shouldn't let her enthusiasm disappear. We Only shot for an hour but had fun. It was sunny but windy. Temp was dropping as it was getting late in the day. The new stag performed great! After a small error on my part( adjusted front post wrong way). After 6 to 8 rounds it was ready for us to dial it in for her. It's accurate. My wife just needs practice. I think the wind may have also been a factor for my wife as the later it got the worse she did. But it won't deter her. She already wants to prove she's better than me. We were shooting 62gr lake city at about 40 yards. Sent about 45 rounds downrange total. Also brought along our new sr22. It did good. No hiccups. Used cci mini mags. In my hands it was moderately accurate at 15 yards. Lets just say my wife needs a few more hours with it. Hehe. I'll Add photos later once i get to my computer. Right now I'm on my iPod feeding the little one. the last pic is what is left of a 6 in ceramic decorative plate, the target is my sighting in and one 26 round mag. and then my hott wife shooting

Nice work jj. Glad the wife likes Raven. I seriously doubt there's a more fun day than going to the range and tossing lead down the hill, unless it's doing it with your significant other having as much fun as you are.

text: Assuming Doug Gabriel was healthy and I did not see him on the injured list I am assuming sometime shortly after the fumble in the Jets game he was benched and probably mouthed off A.K.A. Randy Moss or Jerry Porter and was on BB's Crap list and did not play in the packers game,A bit of the Raider hostility may have settled in and said something he should not have to the staff and/or other players with some type of frustration..Thats about as best as I can think of as to why he was a ZERO factor in today's game,He certainly would have played otherwise IMO,We know the Patriots keep negative stuff out of the media as best they could to avoid drama like T.O. or Moss so I guess we did it quietly and hope he gets back on the field this week against the bears..We need all the big receivers we can get against those very physical bears corners and safeties which prey on the little tiny receiver guys.

The first conceited cable connector
Adorned with Swarovski crystals, it claims to be "an eye catcher."
Of all the ridiculous venues for Swarovski crystals--trust us, there are far more than we'd care to count--this has to rank among the silliest. And that's saying a lot .
Why anyone would want crystals on a cable connector is beyond us, but that's exactly what Neutrik has created with its "CrystalCON" plug. It's apparently a more fashionable version of its ugly-duckling XLR connector sibling, according to BornRich, though both probably work just the same.
Still, it's worth pointing out for the product literature alone, which describes it as a "fancy, noble, valuable, attractive package--an eye catcher." We never knew that cable connectors were judged on nobility.

Philosophy and Fancy
The last axis that distributions tend to fall along isn't exactly philosophical, but it still is a real consideration. If you're putting together a distribution, who is your end user?
A distro put together for a hacker will, by default, install a raft of security-auditing and coding tools, and perhaps a handful of black hat tools as well, just for fun. These utilities almost always are available on other distros, but rarely do they install by default. Slackware is aimed squarely at this demographic.
On the other hand, a distro designed with the end user in mind might install some games, an office suite, a media player or two and a handful of toys, but generally its goal is to not overwhelm users with options. Give users one tool that works reasonably well and a good package manager, and let people fill up the corners as they need to. A small footprint and an idiot-proof setup is the name of the game here. Xandros and Linux Mint are prime examples of this type of targeting successfully taken to its logical extreme.
Power users are another animal entirely. These users want to be able to tinker with the system right up to the end of their expertise, and one tool for one job is never enough. After all, when was the last time you saw a perfect tool? Power users want it all and know how to milk the last bit of functionality out of their systems. They want an OS that is heavily optimized, that crashes rarely (if ever), and that they can control down to the process level without necessarily having to get their hands dirty. Systems designed for power users tend to be both slick and decadent, armed to the teeth with the kind of tools that would make most end users crawl into a straitjacket and whine for their mommies. The studio distributions, such as PlanetCCRMA and 64 Studio, tend to be this variety.
The administrator is the last major species of user, and distros designed for these users tend to be thin on flash and heavy on function. They also tend to run in environments where no end user would ever dare to tread, like server farms, render clusters and data centers.
The plethora of Linux distributions can be enough to make anyone's eyes glaze over, and it's tempting (particularly for a newcomer to the F/OSS world) to chalk up the diversity in distro design as just another symptom of a fractious, political hacker culture with more time than sense. The reality is a little different. The axes outlined above demarcate the major design considerations that distro packagers have to weigh, and where you put your pin on each axis also generally will have knock-on effects in terms of what kind of hardware you want to support, whether and when you will ship kernel source, whether you ship with a modular kernel, what kind of package manager you'll use, and how you'll manage the community that springs up around your product.
Likewise, understanding these considerations can help make the F/OSS space look a lot less like a battleground or a junkyard and lot more like what it really is: a rich ecosystem, more than a bit jungle-like, of different designs evolving to serve different economic and ecological niches, always filled with interesting experiments—some of which succeed handsomely.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Baja California see + do
Most Baja visitors head straight for Los Cabos and never see the wild side of the peninsula's kayaking, hiking, and surfing spots. A-list celebs zip down from LA in private jets to celebrate birthdays (John Travolta's 50th) and seek inspiration (Kenny Chesney's "Beer in Mexico"). Sightings are so frequent celebs have to hide from each other for total privacy. Airports are few along the peninsula and rental sedans, Hummers, and Harleys a must for exploring missions, oases, and beaches. You have to drive or sail from border to tip to fully appreciate Baja's soulful beauty, but you can quickly sample capital cities and resort regions by flying into international airports in Los Cabos, La Paz, or Loreto.

According to Josina Anderson, fifth-year DT Marcus Thomas is expected to miss Denver's remaining preseason games and perhaps more, with a pectoral injury that is being called "a little more serious than a strain."
Update 11:21AM ET - Meanwhile, Ty Warren does in fact have a tear in his triceps, although the Broncos' FO has not yet decided whether to place him on season-ending IR just yet. According to Mike Klis, there is some hope that Warren could forego surgery and return at some point this season.
Update 12:30PM ET - According to Anderson, Warren also has a bone fragment floating around in his elbow area
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Well, not really. During yesterday's practice, Ty Warren suffered a triceps tendon injury that's thought to be serious; he underwent an MRI last night, the results of which we can expect sometime today. To top it off, fellow defensive tackle Marcus Thomas strained his right pec and was also scheduled to undergo an MRI last night. With yesterday's release of DT Louis Leonard, that leaves Brodrick Bunkley, Kevin Vickerson, Jeremy Jarmon, Mitch Unrein, Ryan McBean and Ronnell Brown as the healthy tackles on Denver's roster.
Now, this may be bad news, but keep in mind - serious injuries are a part of almost every NFL team, every year - just ask the SB Champion Packers, who had 16 players on IR last year including six starters. This is why teams need quality depth. Yes, the Broncos were greatly impacted by the injury to Elvis Dumervil last year, but the reality is that their season was harmed equally by the lack of starting-caliber players behind him. So whatever happens with Warren, it's not an excuse for the FO - it's their job to have enough talent on the roster to make up for his potential loss. Remember - it's all in the game.
Death. Taxes. NFL preseason injuries.
Klis reported earlier that newly acquired defensive tackle, Ty Warren, could have a siginifcant tricep injury.
We'll likely know the damage by tomorrw. Warren is getting an MRI late tonight.
Warren, along with fellow DT Marcus Thomas, both left today's practice at Dove Valley with injuries.
Many considered Warren the Broncos' biggest free-agent acquisition and had him penciled into the opening-day lineup.
If the injury costs Warren most (or all) of his season, luckily, the Broncos have enough depth--at the moment.
The Broncos made a few roster moves today, claiming LB Alvin Bowen off waivers from Jacksonville, releasing DT Louis Leonard, and designating LB Derek Domino as waived/injured.
Bowen (6-1, 222) dressed for two games last year with the Jaguars, was originally a fifth-round pick of the Bills in 2008, and has also been a member of the Redskins and Seahawks. Denver had signed Leonard just prior to their season finale last year, while Domino was an undrafted free agent signed this year out of South Dakota State.
I'm still watching film of the preseason opener. Overall, I like what I see. Dallas is a very physical team that Denver had to stand up to, and the starting offense put together a nice early drive and basically took a bow, while the defense played on a bit. It's a good start to the preseason - I want to see some production, and I liked what I saw early on defense. Since those are mostly the players that will be with the team later on, they were the ones that I tended to focus on.
A lot was made of free agency this year - the unprecedented number of UFAs, the unusual (but effective) signing of UDFAs as well as the inevitable draft, which once more featured the Broncos moving up and down the board effectively. Rookie signings went off without a hitch, and I don't ever remember that happening before. Denver seems to be moving in a direction that meets both of their needs - they're bringing in players who are veteran enough to play right now, and they're getting veterans who are young enough to build on over time. I have to admit - add the way Denver's moved around the draft board and the way they are handling the most important FA period in 10 years and you have to give credit where it's due. The team looks a lot deeper, more talented and well-planned than the conglomeration of odds and ends they'd had each of the prior four or five years.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Legwold checks in on DT Marcus Thomas, who has of course played for a different defensive coordinator in each of his five NFL seasons with the Broncos. Thomas, who will only be turning 26 next month, tells Legwold that, "Every year it seemed like I was trying to learn a new system, learn something new," followed by the obligatory, "I feel like this defense suits me and the things I can do."
As Legwold points out, Mike Shanahan called Thomas a "first-round talent" after he dealt three picks to the Vikings in a draft day trade for the 121st-overall pick the Broncos would use to select the ex-Gator. One of those picks (Denver's '08 third-rounder) would eventually end up with KC, who utilized it to draft Jamaal Charles. Interestingly, that #121 pick had been Denver's original fourth-rounder, but they'd dealt it away the year before as part of their two-part move up to get Jay Cutler, and other players tied to its transactions include WR Sidney Rice and the oft-rumored Denver target John Abraham. Pretty simple, right?
One thing that Denver is working hard on is defensive communication. The past two seasons were frequently marred by communication breakdowns on both offense and defense, which are a sign that the coaching isn't getting through to the players. This year, Dennis Allen isn't going to have any of it:
Dennis Allen's voice is always heard loud and clear on the practice field and communication was key for the defensive coordinator during the walkthrough. "We have got to emphasize our communication," Allen said repeatedly to his defense. "Don't assume everyone knows the call."
That seems so obvious, doesn't it? Yet, if you look over the past two seasons, one consistency was that the players were often on different pages and the pointless penalties that usually come from a lack of communication and lapses in concentration - false starts, offsides, encroachment and so forth - were surprisingly common and broke up many Denver drives and lengthened opponents' possessions unnecessarily.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! The Broncos have been a bit banged up at receiver, but Eddie Royal did catch passes yesterday on a field adjacent to practice and should be back in full this week. Royal has been hampered by soreness in his previously healthy hip, presumably due to him compensating for his surgically repaired one. Plus, Matthew Willis was limited in practice and TE Richard Quinn will be out 2-4 weeks with a strained MCL.
Meanwhile, the team waived/injured WR Mark Dell and will likely place him on IR if he clears waivers; Dell suffered a serious knee injury in Thursday's game. They replaced him with former Purdue WR Greg Orton, who was an undrafted signee of the Bengals in 2009 and appeared in three preseason games for Cincy that year.
The defensive backfield has some interesting plot twists coming into view this week. Second-year player and former UDFA out of Mississippi, Cassius Vaughn (4 tackles, 1 assist) had a young players' game - he made some mistakes and made some great plays. His mistakes tended to be from trying to do too much, but he played very well overall. Perrish Cox (no tackles) had some good plays and an excellent INT; he's struggled in his attempt to change to nickelback, which is a new position for him. Despite his legal struggles, there's no question that he's a talented player - his interception showed that - but Denver can't count on him being around all season, to be real about it. Vaughn has taken more naturally to the nickel position and as a result he has been getting reps with the first-team nickel package, the second-team base defense (left cornerback), the second-team nickel package and all of the special-teams units, in one role or another. He's also the No. 2 kickoff returner behind Eric Decker, and looks to have a roster slot locked up in a defensive backfield that's going to be tough to make.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! The details of Matt Prater's DUI arrest are pretty embarrassing*, laughable within the context that nobody got hurt and it all occurred within the confines of a parking lot. Sounds like our idiot kicker picked up a waitress/bartender/stripper at Shotgun Willie's, backed his Blazer into a parked car, and then tried to get a room in the hotel of said parking lot after being yelled at by a bunch of witnesses. When that didn't work out, he ditched the young lady and headed over to a nearby La Quinta where the police found him.
Prater then proceeded to fail his sobriety test and took a breathalyzer test at the police station, telling the cops along the way, "I really messed up. I'm going to lose my job. I deserve this." Meanwhile, the Broncos released the following statement:
Our organization is disappointed with the poor judgment shown by Matt Prater on Aug. 2. This matter, which was addressed with the team last week, continues to be thoroughly reviewed internally.
Drinking and driving is without doubt a serious matter, as comedic as this tale appears to be. But let's just be glad no one was injured, and hope that Prater and his teammates learn a good lesson from his shenanigans.
* Speaking of embarrassing, I'm reminded that I forgot to mention that it's Doc's birthday today! Please join all of us in wishing Doc a happy one, with many healthy ones to come!

An 18-year-old soccer player has been charged with second-degree assault in Nicollet County Court after allegedly threatening his coach with a goal stake. The incident occurred last weekend at North Ridge Park in North Mankato. Police responded to a 911 call that a man was threatening people with a sharp object, and Nasir Mohamed Abdalla of North Mankato was arrested. The teen soccer team coach says that Abdalla was a former team member who was kicked off in 2012. He had been allowed to rejoin the team, but was removed again after he tried to fight an opposing player. When the coach told Abdalla he couldn't play on Saturday, he allegedly pulled a foot-long soccer net stake out of the ground and walked toward the coach while making a stabbing motion, saying he would "butcher" him. Other players pulled Abdalla away. He remains in custody with bail set at $5,000.

Lobby group threatens food giant boycott
PUBLISHED: 08 Jul 2011 11:53:23 | UPDATED: 08 Jul 2011 12:10:10PRINT EDITION: 08 Jul 2011
Activist lobby group Get Up! is threatening to boycott food companies that oppose the federal government's proposed carbon tax.
The group has sent a letter to companies including Coca-Cola, Heinz, Kraft and McDonald's, saying its 570,000 members will be urged to boycott them if they oppose the proposed tax, newspapers reported on Friday.
The letter said members will be "urged to boycott goods and services that are linked to the scare campaign".
Get Up was responding to reports the Australian Food and Grocery Council, which lobbies on behalf of many food producers, has signed up to a group campaigning against the government's carbon tax package.
Other companies that received the letter include Schweppes, Nestle, Arnotts, Colgate-Palmolive and Johnson & Johnson.
Chief Executive of the Australian Food and Grocery Council, Kate Carnell, described the letter as blackmail and bullying.

In 2013, the management of the World Bank's program in Southeast Europe was decentralized to Vienna, allowing it to take full advantage of the proximity to client countries. The expanded Vienna office was made possible with the kind support of the Austrian Government.

Egypt protests: Did Jimmy Carter just throw Obama under the bus?
Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday what many experts are thinking: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak must go. But President Obama has shied away from making such a statement, even as the Egypt protests escalate, leading to some criticism.

Middle East peacemaker Jimmy Carter came out and said Sunday what many experts in the region believe is now inevitable: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will have to go.
Commenting on the week's tumultuous events in Egypt from the Maranatha Baptist Church near his home in Plains, Ga., the former president who brokered the 1979 peace accord between Egypt and Israel gave a candid personal assessment of Egypt's embattled leader and said his "guess is Mubarak will have to go."
President Mubarak has "become more politically corrupt" in recent years and has "perpetuated himself in office," he told a Sunday school class of 300, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Assessing the popular uprisings sweeping across the region, he said: "This is the most profound situation in the Middle East since I left office" more than 30 years ago.
Mr. Carter's remarks put him out ahead of the Obama administration, which has inched carefully forward as it has responded to the massive demonstrations engulfing the regime of a longtime US ally.
On Sunday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton took the step of calling for an "orderly transition" in Egypt. That seemed to be a few degrees closer to abandoning Mubarak than President Obama's comments of Friday, which had focused on the urgency of meaningful reforms and the need for the regime to avoid repressive violence.

Transforming a crab shell into transparent chitin. Photo courtesy of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
As mobile-electronics manufacturers seek more advanced technologies for displays, they are increasingly turning to natural materials for inspiration. One unlikely example is the use of light-transmitting chitin, made by chemically treating the shells of dead crabs to remove existing proteins, fats and minerals. The Kyoto University scientists who created this modified shell further transformed the material by polymerizing it in a bath of acrylic resin. After this process yielded successful results, the researchers pulverized chitin and flattened it into a polymerized nanocomposite panel, thus creating a light-transmitting sheet that remains stable when heated.
This experimental manipulation of chitin suggests the strong possibility of harvesting shellfish waste from seafood processing plants to make inexpensive resilient and transparent displays. Although the transformation requires a chemical-intensive process, it may also be possible to imagine heat-resistant building apertures made from chitin in the future.
