Lakers formally waive Steve Nash
The Lakers waived Steve Nash to make room on the roster to sign rookie guard Jabari Brown.
Lakers formally waive Steve Nash
Steve Nash's tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers is officially over.
The team announced Wednesday that it formally waived the two-time MVP point guard, making room on the roster to sign rookie guard Jabari Brown for the remainder of this season with the possibility that the Lakers keep him around next season as well.
During a pair of 10-day contracts with the Lakers, the second of which expired Monday, Brown appeared in 10 games, averaging 9.4 points on 50 percent shooting in 24.5 minutes per game.
Brown's best NBA performance was a 22-point outburst on 7-of-10 shooting Monday in an overtime win against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown played at Missouri with fellow Lakers rookie Jordan Clarkson.
As for Nash, the future Hall of Famer formally announced his retirement last week after nearly 19 seasons in the NBA. His tenure in Los Angeles was mostly miserable.
Plagued by injuries, Nash played in in just 65 out of a potential 246 games throughout the three-year, $28 million deal.
The Lakers gave Nash that deal in 2012, mortgaging their future by shipping four draft picks to Phoenix despite Nash having suffered health troubles late in his tenure with the Suns.

We gave the visionary point guard a pen and a mission: Illustrate the theories that drove his game-changing MVP career. Here's the result, straight from the mind of Steve Nash ...

1. Nash ran the offense that changed the NBA -- and the point guard position -- forever. And when we asked how he saw the game, he began with this sketch. The pre-Nash NBA, you see, was all about overwhelming opponents with mismatches. But Nash's game wasn't about finding spots where great players were guarded by inferior ones; it was about finding spots where good players were guarded by nobody at all. His brain was the supercomputer behind it all, seeking in real time the highest-quality shots, namely: those at the rim and in the corner, where the closer 3-pointers are more likely to go in.
Most promising rookie point guard?
The current crop of NBA point guards is creating a special kind of buzz. Russell Westbrook is the most athletic point guard ever once you factor in his size. Steph Curry is making a push to be the best shooter in league history. John Wall is in incredibly rare air as an elite passer, pure athlete and talented defender. And, of course, Chris Paul is arguably the best overall point guard in the game and a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Meanwhile, the rookie class of point guards, though it isn't setting the league on fire, has a few guys who have shown the potential to be All-Star caliber players or long-term starters. While it's not likely that any of them will be in the conversation for "best point guard in the league" going forward, it's too early to entirely rule out that possibility. Remember, all of the names mentioned above had their doubters, too.

NBA Top 3 Plays Of The Night
Lakers win another must-lose game
This issue came up last week, when the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Philadelphia 76ers at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
We wrote then that the Lakers' win could come back to haunt them if they end up losing their top-five protected 2015 first-round pick to -- who else? -- the 76ers.
And now, a week later, here we are again.
The Lakers beat the 76ers Monday in Philadelphia, posting a 113-111 overtime road win behind a huge game from rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson (26 points, 11 assists).
However, as was the case last week, it could end up being a costly Lakers win.
For a while now, both the Lakers and 76ers have been contending for the league's third-worst record -- and if the Lakers had finished the regular season in that spot, they'd have had a very strong chance (96 percent) of retaining their top-five pick.
However, after beating the 76ers twice in two weeks, it appears the 20-53 Lakers will finish the regular season with the league's fourth-worst record, meaning they'll have an 82.8 percent chance of retaining that pick.
And as the fine folks at ESPN Stats & Information pointed out, recent history says not to be too confident the Lakers will keep the pick should they enter the lottery in that fourth spot, even though 82.8 percent seems like a solid figure.
Over the past five years, teams that had a pre-lottery position of fourth dropped to sixth on two occasions: the Golden Warriors in 2010 and Washington Wizards in 2011.
In other words, there's a realistic chance the worst season in Lakers franchise history doesn't result in the only possible reward such a season could have brought them -- a top lottery pick and the promising young player who comes with it.
Instead, with their wins over the 76ers in the past two weeks, the Lakers could end up losing that pick to a franchise that's much better at losing when it needs to lose.
Lakers outlast Sixers in OT, but endanger chances at draft pick
PHILADELPHIA -- Jordan Clarkson scored 26 points and made the tiebreaking basket with 0.7 seconds left in overtime to lift the Los Angeles Lakers past the Philadelphia 76ers, 113-111 on Monday night in a matchup of two of the NBA's worst teams.
Jabari Brown finished with 22 points for the Lakers (20-53). Wayne Ellington added seven of his 20 points in OT, including a 3-pointer that put the Lakers up 111-105 with 1:25 left.
Rookie Nerlens Noel led the 76ers (18-57) with 19 points and 14 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the month. He scored six points in the final minute of overtime to tie the game at 111.
Clarkson Nails Game-Winning Layup
Fantasy hoops weekly dish: March 30
April is almost always the most difficult month to project in fantasy basketball as youth movements and shutdowns go into full effect in the last few weeks of the season. Teams that are locked into the postseason may give their star players some extra rest to help keep them fresh for the playoff run. These scenarios can be awfully frustrating (particularly in head-to-head leagues), but they also create incredible opportunities to find unheralded breakout players. Conversely, teams that are out of playoff contention will often decide to give their younger players more playing time in the season's final frame as they look to evaluate talent for next season, although I should note that teams like the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves have been in tank mode for quite some time already.

I'M LIKE A maniac when it comes to basketball. I watch so much basketball. I just watch it and study it all the time. When we're on the road, I'm always on Synergy or YouTube, religiously, watching our games and all the shots I took. When I'm at home, I'll watch games on my iPad. They constantly update it for me, with every shot I've taken this season. A lot of times, I'll have someone drive me to the game so I can watch game film -- and so I don't get too mad about the traffic. From the time I get into the car until I arrive at the arena, my mind is always on the game.
When the game starts, that's when I become a different person. I "click out" during the jump ball. I have a lot of friends in the league, but they know: The moment that ball goes up, I'm different. On the court, I'm playing, so I'm more intense. It's like a different world. I'm going to do anything I have to do to win. It's a mindset.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A proposal that would increase Salt Lake City's hotel space — making more room for outdoor gear shows, conferences and the crowds they bring — is advancing in the state Legislature.
Utah a step closer to new, bigger convention hotel
A Senate committee voted unanimously Friday to approve the measure, which aims to draw a developer to build a downtown Salt Lake City mega-hotel by offering tax rebates. It now goes to the full Senate for consideration.
"Yahoo for us," said Sen. Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City. "This is going to be an economic boon in many folds for us."
Backers, including Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, said the measure would increase tourism revenue and keep the state from losing regular expos and conferences. But critics contend it's a waste of state money to give incentives for development that would move forward even without government intervention.
At most, the proposal would set aside $75 million in public money to draw private developers to build a hotel with up to 1,000 rooms.
Salt Lake City now hosts the world's largest outdoor-gear trade show twice a year. It's scheduled to continue to host the event, which routinely draws in 20,000 people, through 2016.
But without more hotel space, organizers have warned, the show will need to set up elsewhere.
The city has lost out on 20 conventions because organizers said current hotel space is inadequate, Sen. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, said Friday.
The new hotel, which under the legislation is required to go up within 1,000 feet of the Salt Palace Convention Center, would need to hit certain tourism revenue benchmarks in order to qualify for tax rebates under the measure from Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville.
Private money would pay to build the hotel, which must have at least 500,000 square feet available for conventions. The state would only reimburse the builder for the cost of putting up public spaces, including parking and convention rooms.

Caffè Florian, Venice
9 Reviews
9 Reviews
Florians in Piazza San Marco is probably the oldest cafe/bar in Western Europe. Patronised by the likes of Lord Byron and later Ernest Hemmingway, Florians has that old world feel about it. When the weather's right, its just great to sit on the Piazza with a copy of a local newspaper
and listen to the orchestra. Coffee and cornetti dont come cheap here, but the cost is made up for by the atmosphere.
In the Procuratie Vecchie and the Procuratie Nuove you can see very famous and expensive coffee houses: Gran Caffe' Quadri, Caffe' Florian, which opened its doors 29th December 1720, and Caffe' Lavena, in the same premises since the mid-18th century; it was Richard Wagner's favorite. Pay attention: to take a coffee in these coffee shop is very very expensive (from 5 Euro)!!!!
A must visit place! A must drink coffee place! Cafe Florian has been there since 1720. It is worth seen for its history, its decor, its white jacketed polite waiters, its classical orchestra playing on the square. A journey back in time.
And what's more it makes the best cafe latte I have ever tasted.
You will find yourself in St Mark's Square again and again when you come to Venice. I had read time and again that it was too busy and touristy, but I loved it. I especially liked wandering around the Square, listening to the different orchestras as this really gave the Square a special feeling. I liked it best in the early evening, when the basilica was lit up and people, perhaps feeling a little less self-conscious than in the daytime, danced along to the music. I didn't have a coffee at the Florian, but there's aways next time, isn't there!
Venice is famous for its coffee houses. The oldest coffee house of Italy is the Caffe Florian which was opened in December 1720. Inside a coffee can be enjoyed while sitting on historic red sofas. In summer every now and then a cafe orchestra performs at the stage in front of the cafe.
What to say? It's one of the most known squares of the world. The church, the Palazzo Ducale, the bell-tower, the pigeons, the Florian bar, the great square, gondolas, the romantic view... it's all here! I love this place, at the same time it is sad and cheerful... sometimes, expecially in october, high water is the joy for the tourists (less for venetian people, I assure! eheh)... A tourist in Venice can't miss it, it's the really heart of the city!
In the very center of the city, under the colonnade of Piazza San Marco there is the famous Caffè Florian. Ancient and elegant society meeting-place onces visited by Casanova himself, today is target of the most beautiful masks sitting like in a shop-window.
Piazza San Marco is said to be "the finest drawing room in Europe". It has a constant carnival atmosphere, thanks to the cacophony of the ceaseless parade, the duelling cafe orchestras of Florian and Quadri, and the hourly clanking of the bronze Mori as they strike the bell of the 15th-century Torre dell'Orologio. It's one of the lowest parts of the city and so is always the first to be covered in water when the "aqua alta" arrives - a magical sight on a moonlit night!
Try sitting at the Caffe Florian , one of the oldest coffee parlours in the city . Once you are done with your coffee walk to the middle of Piazza San Marco for a picture of this unique scene . The piazza universally known as the most beautiful salon of the world .

Oregon Ducks: Demarious Randall
Pac-12 names players of the week
October, 7, 2013
By Kevin Gemmell | ESPN.com
The Pac-12 has named Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota the offensive player of the week, Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy its defensive player of the week and Stanford receiver Ty Montgomery the special teams player of the week.
Some more on the trio, per the Pac-12's release:
Some more on the trio, per the Pac-12's release:
Mariota, a sophomore from Honolulu, set a school record with 42 points accounted for in Oregon's 57-16 win at Colorado on Saturday. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 355 yards and five touchdowns. Mariota also ran for an additional 43 yards and two more scores. He is eighth in the country in passing efficiency (176.30 QB rating) and ninth in total offense (339.20 ypg), helping Oregon to a No. 2 national ranking in total offense (630.40 ypg).
Murphy, a senior from Mesa, Ariz., recorded six tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, in Stanford's narrow 31-28 win over Washington at home on Saturday night. He also deflected a pass that led to a Stanford interception that ended a Huskies' drive late in the fourth quarter. The forced turnover proved to be pivotal in the Cardinal's three-point victory.
Montgomery, a junior from Tahlequah, Okla., set a school record with 204 kickoff return yards that included a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the game against Washington. He added a 39-yard touchdown reception and ended the game with 290 all-purpose yards on nine carries (32.2 yards per touch). Montgomery currently ranks sixth in the nation in all-purpose yards (176.6 ypg).
Also nominated for offensive player of the week honors were quarterbacks Brett Hundley of UCLA and Connor Halliday of Washington State; and wide receivers Jaelen Strong of Arizona State, Chris Harper of California, and Dres Anderson of Utah. Also nominated for defensive player of the week honors were linebackers Addison Gillam of Colorado, Eric Kendricks of UCLA and Jared Norris of Utah; safety Deone Bucannon of Washington State; and defensive back Damarious Randall of Arizona State.

10 Best Dunks of the NBA Season (Thus Far)
The NBA all-star break began after Thursday night's games, with the NBA All-Star Game scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 26 in Orlando (7:30 PM ET; TNT-TV). Though the preseason labor dispute between the players' union and owners forced a compressed NBA schedule, the NBA's greatest players have continued to throw down spectacular dunks. Here are 10 of the best dunks of the NBA season so far.
Hornets Beat Cavs 89-84
The New Orleans Hornets collected their 3rd road win in the last week after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night by the score of 89-84. It was the third game in three nights for the fleur-de-bees, making the victory that much more impressive. Chris Kaman finished with a double-double, scoring 21 points and pulling down 13 boards.

The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper Northern Sky Survey
G.J. Madsen, L.M. Haffner, & R.J. Reynolds
Dept. of Astronomy, University of Wisconsin – Madison, 475 N.
Charter Street, Madison, WI, 53706-1582
one-degree resolution, velocity-resolved northern sky survey of Hα emis-
sion from our Galaxy. The unprecedented sensitivity of the instrument
and accurate spectral subtraction of atmospheric features allow us to de-
tect Galactic features as faint as 0.1 Rayleighs (EM ≈ 0.25 cm−6pc).
This survey allows a direct comparison of the ionized and neutral com-
ponents of the ISM on a global scale for the first time. All-sky maps of
Hα emission in select velocity bands highlight the rich kinematic struc-
ture of the Galaxy's ionized gas. The full set of data from the WHAM
survey is now available at http://www.astro.wisc.edu/wham/.
One surprising result is that the high latitude sky of both the ionized
and neutral components display marked similarity in the location and
radial velocity of emitting regions, especially for many of the previously
identified intermediate velocity clouds. Although there is evidence for
spatial and velocity correlation, in many cases examined so far there is
little evidence for a quantitative correlation between the column density
of H I and the emission measure of H II.
WHAM is also capable of studying the ISM through optical emis-
sion lines other than Hα. Two directions toward the Perseus arm have
been studied in detail through several other optical emission lines. The
multiple velocity component structure toward these directions provides a
selection of ionized environments for study and shows interesting varia-
tions in the ratios of these lines. WHAM also has the ability to study
select regions of the sky at high spatial resolution (3′to 5′) with high
velocity resolution. Such observations will allow an even closer compari-
son between the neutral and ionized components with the advent of high
resolution H I surveys.
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) has completed a
The WHAM instrument is a fully remotely operated facility with a 15 cm, dual-
etalon Fabry-Perot spectrometer at the focal plane of a 0.6 m telescope atop
Kitt Peak in Arizona (Reynolds et al. 1998). The WHAM spectrometer has
a 1◦diameter circular field of view on the sky, and a velocity resolution of 12
kms−1within a 200 kms−1wide spectral window that can be centered on any
wavelength between 4800˚ A and 7300˚ A. WHAM was designed to detect very
weak emission lines from ionized gas.
Page 2
Madsen, Haffner, & Reynolds
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper Northern Sky Survey (WHAM-NSS) is the
first deep,velocity-resolved survey of interstellar Hα emission over the northern
sky (δ ≥ −30◦). The survey consists of 37,565 individual observations taken over
a span of two years. Each observation recorded the composite spectrum of a one-
degree diameter patch on the sky. The spectral resolution of 12 kms−1made it
possible to separate cleanly the interstellar emission from the terrestrial emission
in every spectrum and to measure the thermal and non-thermal motions of the
interstellar gas. Details about the WHAM-NSS and downloadable versions of
the survey can be found at http://www.astro.wisc.edu/wham/.
These survey maps of interstellar Hα emission provide the first global view
of the distribution and motions of wide spread ionized hydrogen within the
Milky Way (see Figure 1). The small bright knots of Hα are classical emission
nebulae in the vicinities of hot O and B stars located mostly near the Galac-
tic midplane. Between these bright knots and filling most of the sky is fainter
Hα emission from the Warm Ionized Medium (WIM), with a characteristic tem-
perature Te≈ 104K and density ne≈ 0.1 cm−3.
Past studies have shown the WIM to be a significant component of the
interstellar medium, especially in the halos of disk galaxies. In the Milky Way,
the WIM has a mass surface density about one-third that of neutral atomic
hydrogen, a power requirement equal to the kinetic energy injected into the
Galaxy by supernovae, and a characteristic scale height above the midplane
of 1000 pc, approximately five times larger than that of the neutral hydrogen.
This survey of the WIM shows rich structure both on the sky and in velocity,
allowing an exploration of the origin of the ionization and heating of this gas
and its relationship to the other components of the interstellar medium.
2. High Latitude Hα Emitting H I Clouds
The intermediate velocity channel maps (−75 kms−1≤ vLSR≤ −50 kms−1)
from the survey reveal significant amount of high-latitude Hα emission. Much
of this emission is located near HI gas previously identified and classified as In-
termediate Velocity Clouds (IVCs; see the recent compilation by Wakker 2001).
One particularly striking example is the IVC Complex K, reported by Haffner,
Reynolds, & Tufte (2001).
They find that general spatial correlation between NHIand Hα contours,
and an excellent kinematic correlation between Hα and H I spectra toward
Complex K, demonstrating that they probe the same structure. However, the
spatial intensity distribution of the lines does not appear to be related, i.e.
peaks in H I emission do not necessarily correspond to peaks in H II emission.
This is consistent with photoionization by an external flux of radiation. In this
case, the Hα intensity is determined by the incident flux and is unrelated to the
H I column density of the cloud whose outer surface is being ionized.
WHAM has also recently observed very faint Hα emission associated with
the northern tip of the Magellanic Stream. In all five lines of sight observed, we
find Hα emission at the same velocity as the H I gas with intensities ranging
between 0.05 - 0.1 R (EM ≈ 0.1 −0.2 cm−6pc @ 104K). Such observations are
critical for our understanding of high and intermediate velocity clouds, including

3.Probing the Heterogeneous Nature of the WIM
The WHAM Northern Sky Survey has revealed the presence of remarkable large-
scale, Hα-emitting structures, including loops, filaments, bubbles, and bright
"point sources" throughout the WIM superposed on a more diffuse Hα back-
ground (e.g. Figure 1). With the completion of the survey, WHAM can now
be used to study the WIM through observations of several other optical emis-
sion lines, probing the physical properties of the gas, and with higher angular
resolution imaging, exploring its smaller scale structure.
Figure 1 shows the spectra of sight lines towards l = 130◦,b = −7.5◦and
l = 133◦,b = +18◦, sampling filamentary and diffuse gas. The data are given
in units of arbitrary flux versus LSR velocity. Figure 1 also shows two velocity
Page 4
Madsen, Haffner, & Reynolds
channel WHAM-NSS maps towards these directions, chosen to isolate the local
gas near the LSR and the more distant gas in the Perseus arm near -60 kms−1.
The 0 kms−1frame is dominated by diffuse ionized gas on which is superposed
large, low density O and B star H II regions. The large "bowtie" in the Persues
arm frame is believed to be a superbubble blowout associated with the Cas OB6
association and the H I Normandeau "chimney" (Reynolds, Sterling & Haffner
2001; Normandeau, Taylor, & Dewdney 1996).
The spectra reveal multiple emission line components in each direction,
interpreted as local gas, Perseus spiral arm gas a few hundred parsecs above
the midplane at a distance of 2-3 kpc, and higher velocity gas at even greater
distances. We find significant variations in the ratio of these emission lines
among the different radial velocity components along a single line of sight, as
well as between the two lines of sight. Preliminary analysis reveals interesting
correlations and anti-correlations among the line ratios and raises new questions
about the heterogeneous nature of the WIM. Analysis of the strength of these
emission lines and their ratios reveal important clues about the temperature and
ionization state of the WIM, and indirectly reveal information about the ionizing
spectrum, extinction, density, and heating of the gas (Haffner, Reynolds, & Tufte
1999; Reynolds, Haffner, & Tufte 1999). We also find ionized gas associated
with each of the warm H I components toward (130,-7.5), but not with the cold
H I feature near -30 kms−1. These observations can be used to explore how the
physical conditions in the WIM change with morphology, and how they compare
with classical H II regions.
Another new tool available with WHAM is higher angular resolution imag-
ing. With the insertion of a set of optics, WHAM can obtain very narrow band,
3′resolution images of the sky within its 1◦beam. An adjustable iris mechanism
in the imaging optics can set the width of the narrow spectral window of the
image between 15 kms−1to 200 kms−1. The combination of the multiwave-
length observations of various diagnostic emission lines with the higher angular
resolution imaging will allow us to learn more about the elusive nature of this
important phase of the interstellar medium. The WHAM Survey has already
revealed the rich spatial and kinematic structure of the warm ionized medium.
These multiwavelength and higher spatial resolution observations will hopefully
shed additional light on fundamental questions pertaining to the nature of the
WIM and no doubt will raise even more questions. This work was supported by
National Science Foundation Grant AST96-19424.

Hi all!
I brewed a batch of double chocolate stout. It came with a pack of dry yeast, which I wanted to rehydrate. I poured a cup of cold water from the tap in the bowl with yeast, and then realized the instructions said "around 90F".
This is where I must have been asleep, as I poured in another cup of water straight from the water heater. It must have been near BOILING. I realized my mistake 30 secs later and added more cold water to bring it back down.
10 mins later I threw it all in the bucket.
It has been 72 hours and there is still zero bubbling in the airlock. Here is a picture of the beer: http://i.imgur.com/foduyB7.jpg I did not take gravity readings.
Did I burn and kill my yeast and should I repitch?
Sounds like you'll have to repitch. I'd say the yeast are dead.
That looks like Kraisen scum on the side of the bucket and the foam looks like post fermentation spooge. Take a gravity reading and report back. I'm guessing you're about 80% through primary.
It's almost done fermenting. Leave it alone for at least another week.
If you see a krausen ring around your fermentor you did not kill all of your yeast. Period. It is a clear sign that there has been an active fermentation. Bucket lids can leak and fermentation can occur without any bubbling in the airlock. A double chocolate stout? I would leave it in the fermentor for at least two more weeks. Just put the lid on and ignore it.
You might have not had a good seal on your bucket lid allowing gasses to eascape which would make the airlock not bubble. RDWHAHB.
Thanks guys, I feel a lot better now. Will keep you posted on the final result!
Besides the seal on your bucket, you may have just a little too little fluid in your airlock if its a 3 piece. I've done that once and didn't see it rise and fall.

A dc contact and a capacitive contact niobium-based superconducting radio frequency (RF) microelectro-mechanical systems switches are presented for the first time. The switches are amenable to integration with superconducting-micro-electronics technology. A comparison of the RF performance of the switches at room and cryogenic temperatures indicate a significant improvement in the insertion loss of the switch when niobium is superconducting. A niobium-based dc contact single-port-double-throw switch is designed, fabricated, and tested. Two types of switched capacitor banks are also designed each implementing one of the two types of the introduced switches. The measured results of the capacitor bank with capacitive contact switches show variation of the capacitance value from 0.4 to 0.94 pF. The measured results of the capacitor bank with dc contact switches show variation of the capacitance value from 0.2 to 1 pF at 4 K.

09 Jul 2012 06:40 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt
President Mohamed Morsi has defied Egypt's top court and its powerful military council by ordering the country's dissolved parliament back to work.
Morsi issued a decree on Sunday withdrawing the decision of Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) last month to dissolve parliament, which came after the Supreme Constitutional Court found that the legislature had been elected using an unconstitutional method.
The decree states that Morsi decided to restore the elected People's Assembly, which was voted into office over three months beginning in November, and reconvene it in session to begin issuing legislation again.
The Muslim Brotherhood's political party won nearly half of the assembly and Morsi, though stepped down from a leadership position in the Brotherhood, is still a member.
The decree appears to be an attempt by Morsi to bring parliament back without directly contradicting the supreme court. Rather than address the court's decision, which stated that parliament should be dissolved, Morsi cancelled the subsequent move by the SCAF, at the time the acting executive power, to implement the court's decision.
Military-Brotherhood rivalry
For the past month, the Brotherhood has argued that the court's decision was wrong and the SCAF had no legal right to dissolve parliament.
It was unclear on Sunday night whether Morsi had consulted with the military or other political powers before issuing his decree.
High-ranking Brotherhood members said they had not been personally consulted, the SCAF convened an "emergency meeting" to discuss it, and the court said it too would meet on Monday to evaluate the decree.
In a possible nod to the court, Morsi's decree also called for new parliamentary elections to be held within 60 days of the adoption of a new constitution for the country, which is tentatively expected late this year.
A constitutional assembly selected by the erstwhile parliament has been formed and has begun the work of drafting the constitution.
The Brotherhood's parliamentary victory alarmed many secularists, liberals and members of the Christian minority, who seemed to be generally pleased when the parliament was dissolved. Some prominent secular politicians, including Mohamed ElBaradei, criticised Morsi's decision on Sunday.
Egypt's top court handed down the controversial decision to dissolve parliament a day before the second round of the presidential election, which pitted Morsi against former regime official Ahmed Shafiq.
The court ruled that it was unconstitutional for political parties to have contested the one-third of parliamentary seats reserved for candidates running as individuals.
The ruling prompted allegations that the court was acting as an arm of the military council, which has sought to constrain the powers of the rising Muslim Brotherhood.
Those allegations grew when, two days after the ruling and minutes after polls closed in the presidential voting, the SCAF issued a unilateral package of constitutional amendments limiting presidential powers and giving itself the role of the dissolved parliament.Morsi's decree did not state whether SCAF would lose those self-prescribed legislative abilities once the dissolved parliament returns to work.Unanswered questionsAl Jazeera's Rawya Rageh, reporting from Cairo, said it remained unclear whether Morsi was challenging the generals or had worked out an agreement with them beforehand.
Live Box 2011111713397233347
"It is a very interesting move because there are questions as to what exactly the decree means... is this a true act of defiance on part of the new president against the generals, or was this a decision that was taken after consultation, and in co-ordination with, these generals," she said."It is very difficult to tell at this moment how this decision came about given all the legal complexities involved."The Brotherhood has argued that the SCAF had no right to dissolve the parliament "and therefore this seems to be an administrative correction of what they believe was a previous erroneous administrative decision," Rageh said.
The Brotherhood said parliament's dissolution should be put to a popular referendum.
Under Egypt's interim constitution, approved by referendum after the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak, no institution is given authority to dissolve parliament, and no rules are stated governing such a situation.
The president is given the power to call parliament into normal session.

So what exactly is Felix Doubront? What are we to glean from his first 10 starts of 2012?
Try this on for size: At his current rate, he would become the second 24-year-old, left-handed starter since 1901 to strike out at least a batter an inning while qualifying for the ERA title. The first was none other than Sandy Koufax, who did the trick for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1960, when he tossed 175 innings and struck out 10.1 batters per nine innings.
Obviously, that is not to suggest that Doubront -- who was, by and large, outstanding against the Tigers in Monday's 7-4 Red Sox victory -- is the logical successor to Koufax. Indeed, a slightly broader search suggests that membership in the club of young strikeout-per-inning lefties is no guarantee of career greatness. Even so, if Doubront continues at his current pace, he would belong to a special category of promising pitchers.
In the last 111 years, just 12 left-handed pitchers age 24 and younger have logged at least 140 innings while striking out a batter per inning. If Doubront hits that innings tally while maintaining his strikeout-an-inning stuff, he would become just the 13th member of an elite club, joining:
-- Koufax (who did it two times);
-- Reigning NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw (three times);
-- Two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana (once);
-- "Sudden" Sam McDowell (three times), a six-time All-Star;
-- Scott Kazmir (three times), a two-time All-Star who helped put the Rays on the map;
-- Herb Score (two times), whose amazing career start was derailed by injuries;
-- Sid Fernandez (once), who for several years was among the most unhittable pitchers in the majors;
-- Frank Tanana (once), who went on to win 240 games;
-- Balor Moore (once), the first draftee in Expos history whose career stalled in the gate due to injuries and command woes;
-- Tom Hall (once), who did it as a young reliever;
-- and a pair of pitchers -- Oliver Perez (once) and Rick Ankiel (once) -- whose careers were undone by command woes.
Here's another comparison, a bit closer to Doubront: Jon Lester had his breakout season at age 24 in 2008. Through 10 starts, he had a 2-2 record, 3.95 ERA, 5.2 strikeouts per nine innings and 4.6 walks per nine. (His 11th start was his no-hitter against the Royals.) Doubront has a 5-2 record, 3.86 ERA, 9.5 strikeouts and 3.9 walks per nine.
In other words, the opening act of Doubront's career as a fixed member of a big league rotation has been little short of tremendous. In 10 starts, he has shown strikeout-an-inning stuff, with 59 whiffs in 56 innings. On Monday, he struck out six Tigers in six innings, including a pair of punchouts of Miguel Cabrera, one in which he blew three fastballs past the overmatched slugger.
"I respect him, I respect him. I know he's a good hitter. I think the principle is I didn't show any fear," Doubront said. "Just throw the ball and make him swing the bat, that's very important, and throw the ball with conviction. That's the key to get out a good hitter like him and Prince Fielder."
To this point in the 2012 season, Doubront has exceeded any possible expectations the Red Sox might have had for him when they committed to him as one of the members of their rotation. His pitch mix -- a 91-95 mph fastball and a full complement of three swing-and-miss secondary pitches (changeup, cutter, curve) -- has allowed the left-hander to put the Sox in a consistent position to win.
He's allowed three or fewer earned runs in eight of his 10 starts, with Monday marking his sixth quality start. In his career as a big league starter, which now spans 13 outings, he's never permitted more than five earned runs.
His mound presence is commanding. In stature and delivery, he bears some resemblance to a standout Yankees starter.
Sox pitching coach Bob McClure opined that Doubront reminded him of "maybe [Andy] Pettitte a little bit. I think Felix has more of an arsenal of different pitches. But delivery-wise, kind of, [and with his] intensity and competitiveness and good feel. He has above-average feel for a 24-year-old. So, he has a lot of good things going for him, so just let him grow."
To this point, Doubront has overpowered lineups in a fashion that has made it difficult to work deep into games. He's recorded just one out in the seventh inning, although in some ways that is a reflection of the quality of his stuff rather than a shortcoming.
"You have to understand that his stuff is tough to hit. He gets ahead in the count, and then they foul a couple of balls off, so there's pitches that are going to be thrown," Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "He doesn't like to throw it necessarily down the middle when he's ahead. We've been talking about that one-ball, two-strike count, and he had about another seven of them today. That's pretty good.
"We like him to get one-pitch outs, but it's tough. His ball moves so much. They get paralyzed, often, on that first pitch. It takes some time for the hitter to figure out what it is they're swinging at."
In time, perhaps, Doubront will find a few opportunities in games to get early count contact rather than getting to one 2-2 count after another. But for now, the Red Sox suggest that it would be a mistake to try to change a mix that has been successful.
"When you're that age you don't want to start [messing] with that stuff," McClure said. "When they're that age, the more you mess with them you've got a chance of messing them up. If he goes six or seven innings and ends up with a high-two or three ERA then that's pretty darn good for a 24-year-old kid in the American League East.
"Just from my experience, you just don't mess with it. You let them grow into it confidently. He is convicted, he is aggressive. I don't want to start having him back off. He has given us a chance to win almost every time he has pitched, so we will just kind of leave it."
Lester can identify with the fine line that Doubront is navigating between swing-and-miss stuff and pitch efficiency. It is a battle that Lester faced early in this career, particularly in his rookie year of 2006, and that the Red Sox' Opening Day starter says that he must still endure.
Lester suggests that experience is a great teacher in that regard, that the difference between a six-inning outing and a seven- or eight-inning performance is just a handful of pitches a game. To this point, however, he sees no reason to try to change the way that Doubront is operating, given the way in which he is, for the most part, carving up opposing lineups.
"I've heard some stuff where people will be like, 'He had an OK start. He's doing OK.' I think he's done great," Lester said. "The innings will come. That's just experience. His stuff is there to punch guys out, and also have quick innings, which he'll figure out. We all go through it. We all do it. It's just a matter of being able to recognize it.
"He's doing a great job, I think. He doesn't look rattled, gets on the mound, throws the ball, competes, and that's all you can ask of a guy who's in the rotation for the first time," he added. "I'll take six innings from him 100 pitches at a time. With his stuff, just let him pitch."
The Red Sox will do just that. At the start of spring training, Doubront was an oft-overlooked candidate for the rotation. Two months into the year, he has become a staple. He is young, is left-handed, has a powerful pitcher's build and has shown a very advanced pitch mix, a combination that has served as a formula for tremendous early season success.
Whether he can sustain such performance -- and whether he can remain healthy over the course of a big league season -- remains to be seen, but for now Doubront's emergence has shown the potential to change the shape of the Red Sox rotation not only now but for seasons to come.

Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate.

Outside US, ripple effects of budget battle feared
Wednesday - 10/2/2013, 1:00pm EDT
PARIS (AP) -- Top European officials are keeping a worried eye on the U.S. government shutdown, saying it could pose a risk for the continent's fledgling recovery.
The U.S. has the world's largest economy and close business ties with Europe. So the shutdown, which has seen some 800,000 federal employees put on furlough, could hurt growth around the world if Congress does not agree on a new budget deal within days.
The president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, said Wednesday that the shutdown "is a risk if protracted," though he added that the "the impression is that it won't be."
Earlier, France's top officials expressed similar concerns.
"If this situation lasts, it could slow down the ongoing economic recovery," Pierre Moscovici, the finance minister, said at the government's weekly Cabinet meeting.
France is just emerging from a double-dip recession and, like much of Europe, its economy remains fragile. Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the government spokeswoman, said the situation was troubling.
"It seems that every day, the shutdown has a financial cost to the U.S., and so has consequences for its partners," she said.
The U.S. Congress also needs to find a deal on raising the country's debt ceiling later this month. If it doesn't, the U.S. would face a potential default, a development that could inflict massive damage on the global economy.
Draghi, however, was not worried about that prospect. Asked if he thought the U.S. could default on some of its debt obligations, he said: "I don't."

Good place to store and RV by Irwin Rathbun - 10/17/2013
I stored my RV there this past summer (2013). I found the owner/operator very friendly and accommodating. The price was the second best I could find at $36/mo. but the difference is Badge had a remote entry while the other had a pad lock on the gate and did not appear to always be open during the stated business hours.

BETHEL -- Members of Bethel's small Filipino population are reaching out to their families back home after the deadly typhoon that left scores of people dead.
A relief fundraiser for people affected by the typhoon is scheduled to be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Catholic Social Hall in Bethel, KYUK reported.
Guada Thatcher, who is among 30 Filipinos living in Bethel, said her father died in the storm when it collapsed his Bantayan Island house on top of him. Thatcher wants to make funeral arrangements but no infrastructure is in place.
She's left with this thought: "He died a hero, though," Thatcher said. "He saved his wife, my stepmom's life."
Other relatives of Thatcher live in Cebu Province. They survived with only property damage.
"It's hard to call them, especially the signal over there," Thatcher said. "So it's very hard to keep in touch with your family back home."
Glenda Swope's family survived when the typhoon hit Cebu Province. She said that as she spoke with her sister on the phone, she could hear the typhoon.
"It sounded like a jet. Like a jet that is going to, you know, explode," Swope said.
Swope said the worst of the storm hit at low tide during the day. Her parents also had covered their windows with plywood and their roof with sandbags.
But not everyone can afford such preparations. Many in the Philippines live in poverty, with some homes having grass roofs.
Her hometown of Lapu-Lapu City also is overcrowded. It is about the same size as Bethel but with a population of almost 300,000, compared with Bethel's population of just more than 6,000.
Swope and others in Bethel's Filipino community worry about the victims getting the food and water they need, and about emergency goods being distributed. The Bethel residents are doing what they can right now by holding the fundraiser this weekend.

Can a bad RAM stick stop a computer from starting up?
Can a bad RAM stick stop a computer from starting up? When I power up all the fans and driver run.
Best Buy checked the power supply and it is ok.
Yellow light below power button comes on for a couple minutes. no beeps though. Monitor says power saving mode and goes blank.
Checked out hard drive in a box on the lap top it is good all the files are there. It acts as though it cant find the system bios to start up the OS.
Can a bad ram stick cause this or can the processor find what it needs to run directly from the hard drive?
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( ) , oldturkey03 ( ) , machead3 ( )
Please give us the last three figures of your serial number, Thanks.
Accepted Answer
MacBook Air's have soldered on DRAM are you sure you have a MacBook Air?
The MacBook Air's do have replaceable HD or SSD units (depending on the model). But given your symptoms it sounds like you have a battery or EFI firmware issue.
It would be helpful if you could supply us the last four digits of your serial number so we can correctly identify your model as well as what OS-X you are running.
Yes. Best Buy should be able to run AHT on it. If they can't (don't know why they didn't) then you may have logic board problems. Each machine goes through a POST (power on self test) that's when the EFI (mac for BIOS) checks and reports hardware errors (though sometimes the is no error code for the problem e.g. too much current draw).
Disconnect all peripherals before attempting to boot.
If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

The New York State Fair just keeps getting better and better. More music will fill Chevy Court, including lots of country. And it's all free with your fair admission.
As if it weren't incredible enough that Trace Adkins and his family emerged from their recent house fire relatively unscathed, now comes word that the Adkins' puppies were rescued from the blaze by none other than Trace's 10-year-old daughter, Brianna.
Trace Adkins' new CD has more meaning to him since losing his home in a fire. "Proud To Be Here" will be released August 2. Tace made the announcement in front of thousands of fans Saturday night during CMA Fest at LP Field in Nashville.
