Jackett set for Sky Blues test
Wolves return to action tomorrow with a challenge from Head Coach Kenny Jackett to keep themselves up with the pace at the top of Sky Bet League One.
Having had last Saturday's game with Carlisle postponed due to international call-ups, third placed Wolves saw top two Leyton Orient and Peterborough continue their own excellent start to the season with another three points apiece.
But having made an excellent start to the season with 25 points from the first 10 games, Jackett is pleased with how Wolves have kicked off.
"After 10 games we couldn't have got promoted but we could have been out of it so I'm pleased to say we're in there competing, which is good," he says.
"There are some good signs for us going forwards and some things we need to improve on and it's very important that we identify those correctly internally and make the right decisions and work very hard to continue to improve.
"When you're looking at the division and you see clubs the size of Sheffield United and Bristol City in the bottom two of the division, the points difference already from the top two suggests it's looking towards another season (before they can get promoted).
"I'm pleased that after 10 games, we're within touching distance and every option is available to us.
"With losing a fixture last weekend, it's vital we keep up with teams such as Leyton Orient and Peterborough and make sure that gap doesn't stretch.
"We can't afford any slip-ups – when you see us now playing Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday, that nine points in eight days is a big one for us and we're looking forward to it.
"I think in terms of the league, we've got a number of things right.
"We're looking to continue to improve and a good run at home – we have three of our next four games here - can see us keep pace with the top teams in League One."
Wolves have got a clean bill of health from the players who have returned from international duty, while Samuel Ricketts and Matt Doherty are also expected to be fit after knee and groin injuries respectively.
"They're both looking fine," said Jackett.
"We're expecting them to have no further problems and hopefully they will be available for selection.
"Both trained yesterday.
"There has been a concern, particularly with Ricketts, but yesterday was the crunch day and they both seem o-k.
"They're both very good players and consistent ones too right from the start to the season.
"So we've got no problems with anyone.
"Doyle played both games and I was pleased for him to get back in.
"He was left out for a number of games and to get two caps - hopefully he can retain his place."
Jackett meanwhile has said he will need all the squad ready, willing and able heading into a busy spell of fixtures.
He said: "We play Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday then miss a week then play Saturday and Tuesday.
"So if you look at the five games coming up which takes us to the Carlisle game on Tuesday, November 5, and then it's the FA Cup, so we ring those five games, get the squad together, and the team will undoubtedly change.
"There will be substitutions and we'll perhaps change formation within that as well.
"But out of these five games we want a very good points total and the team I start with won't be the side I finish with against Carlisle.
"The important thing is that as a group of 18 or 20 players, they focus on getting as many points as possible."

Business & EconomyUS raises currency concerns at G20 meeting Treasury chief calls tightly managed currencies a flaw of the global economy in veiled criticism of China. 31 Mar 2011 09:28 GMT | Business & Economy, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, Latin America, Brazil Timothy Geithner says the value of the Chinese yuan has made life difficult for other developing economies [EPA] The United States treasury secretary has told a G20 meeting that countries should have flexible exchange rates in a thinly veiled attack on China which Washington says is using tight currency controls to gain an economic advantage.Addressing finance ministers and central bankers in the Chinese city of Nanjing, Timothy Geithner said controlled exchange rate regimes were the flaw of international monetary system. He called for countries to permit free flows of capital to be major players in the global currency order.Geithner offered a straightforward diagnosis. While major currencies moved freely and most emerging economies were well along that path, there were still some with little exchange rate flexibility, he said. He added that this asymmetry fuelled inflation risks in the economies whose exchange rates are undervalued, magnified currency appreciation in others and also generated protectionist pressures. "This is the most important problem to solve in the international monetary system today. But it is not a complicated problem to solve," Geithner said, according to the prepared text of his remarks. "It does not require a new treaty, or a new institution. It can be achieved by national actions." Without mentioning China directly, he said there were still countries that had very tightly controlled currencies.The Chinese government told participants at the seminar not to mention specific currencies in their speeches and to keep their focus on broader questions in the global monetary system, according to a source attending the meeting.But Geithner's comments follow accusations levelled by Washington against Beijing of manipulating the yuan by keeping it artificially low in order to give Chinese exporters an unfair advantage.Broader global problem The G20 seminar, coming after last October's summit on currency wars in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, was spearheaded by France, which is pushing a reform agenda in its year-long presidency of the group.The seminar was meant to be focused on ills in the monetary system. The US has long called on China to let its currency rise more quickly, and last year threatened to expose China as a currency manipulator in its reports released annually by the treasury on currency practices by its major trading partners. In recent months, Geithner has taken to casting the Chinese currency as a broader global problem, saying that it is making life difficult for other developing economies. India and Brazil, among others, have agreed, saying that a cheap yuan has undermined their competitiveness. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, weighed in by urging that the yuan should become an international reserve currency."It is clear that we must evolve toward a more flexible exchange rate system that will allow us to withstand shocks," Sarkozy said. There is also a need, he said, for rules and supervision to ensure countries are protected from the excess volatility that can come with liberalised currency trading. "Now that the crisis is past, the temptation to not act is very strong. If we lose the impetus that we achieved during the crisis then the world will slide inexorably back into instability and crisis."Washington and other trading partners view China's restrictions on trading in the yuan as a key factor in global economic imbalances such as the large trade and current deficits of many Western nations. But just before the Nanjing seminar, Beijing signalled its own frustrations with US economic stimulus policies, which the Chinese in turn say are fanning surges in commodity prices. The Federal Reserve was accused of trying to devalue the dollar when it decided last November to buy $600bn in US government debt.The move sought to revive an ailing economy by encouraging more borrowing and spending through a policy known as quantative easing.Source: Agencies

Luckily for big and small content providers alike, the open and unfettered internet--where all data is theoretically treated equally and neutrally and consumers can access content quickly without fear of a site being deliberately blocked or choked off by broadband providers--has prevailed, thanks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voting to preserve Net Neutrality in late February.

STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND POLITE. HOTEL CLEAN A LITTLE FAR FROM DOWNTOWN BUT IS WORTHY FOR THE PRICE.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A great place to stay!"
The experience was very welcoming from the time we checked in and the room was very spacious and then I realized why when I went into the bathroom .... it was for handicapped because of the extra large shower that was wheelchair accessible so I am not sure why we were given this room? Other than that, this place was perfect!Genuine Expedia guest review
Very impressed as soon as walked in very nice service, quiet and close to what I was there for...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Shuttle driver"
The overnight driver for the airport shuttle was amazing. She was very helpful and great with my kids. I will use this hotel everytime I fly simply because of the kind employees.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Double Tree Stay"
Pretty good but not the best hotel I've stayed at.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mostly satisified"
We did not understand why we were given a room designated for "handicapped". Did not care for the "handicapped" shower. Also, we were looking forward to watching the Pirate game in our room but it was not available. It was available in the bar. An employee in the bar told us that the bar is on a different cable system than the rooms and the game was […] not available in the room. When we got our wake-up call, we answered the phone and discovered that the phone receiver was not connected to the phone cord. Bed was good, iron and ironing board was useful. Desk personnel were friendly. Food prices in the restaurant were too high. Went across the street to eat. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"night at the airport"
nice hotel that had a good location near the airport. the room was generally good, the bathroom was small. will say that the dinner we had at the hotel restaurant was very very good. would highly recommend eating in for dinner. the wait staff was aloof, even though we were about the only patrons at the time, a sunday evening.Genuine Expedia guest review
"very nice hotel."
not one problem arouse during my visit. nothing negative to say, only positive. this was my first time staying at a DoubleTree Hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice but noisy near bar"
I think the hotel overall seemed very clean and the staff friendly. However I was disappointed that after requesting a quiet room (I had a long and important exam the next morning) and confirming this request I was place above their bar. The mini fridge and microwave I also requested wasn't in the room upon arrival and it wasn't until it was delivered […] I heard the music starting below me. I found out the party was set to end at 9 and I didn't want to re-route the mini fridge so I studied with the AC on and background noise on my laptop. However by 9:30 my room was freezing and without the AC noise, the music was still reverberating throughout my room. I was frustrated that after requesting a quiet room I was placed above the bar, but I will say upon requesting a room change the staff was helpful an efficient. It appeared as if I was even upgraded, which didn't help since I basically went straight to bed but it was a nice gesture. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel"
The rooms should have Fridges esp for those with longer stays - should be a question routinely asked at check-in for 3+ days. The coffee at the hotel is definitely lacking - very inferior and not worth the bother. Exercise room should be a tad bigger with more than 1 treadmill. TV's should have kid friendly stations and a sheet with TV station listings […] for ease of use W/E parking is dismal due to all the weddings and paying Hotel patrons should have designated areas to park. This has always been issue new and past ownership! Ugggh! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"I'd stay again"
nice place to stay the night before flying out. close to airport but not noisy. room was comfortable for 3 adults to share. nice hot tub and exercise rooms. restaurant in hotel was closed but we found a nearby one that was good--just walked over there.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Free cookies"
Great hotel. Friendly staff. Comfy beds. No mini fridge thoughGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great service and cookies!"
Staff was quick in respond to bringing supplies to the room when we asked for stuff several times during the night and their cookies are delicious as always!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Noisiest Hotel I've Experienced in Quite Some Time"
Stayed 2 nights for my son's CMU graduation. Check-in was smooth and that's about the nicest thing I can say. We got to the room and the closet door was off it's track. Maintenance fixed it. There were only 3 sets of towels for the 4 of us, and then there's the noise. Something about the design of this building seems to magnify vibration. When my 9 […] year old (75lbs) walked to the door it actually caused my laptop to shake. My wife couldn't sleep due to all of the noise from people walking above us and doors slamming. I don't think it was from people being inconsiderate, it just seemed to be something of a design flaw. We were expecting a much better experience, and I would never stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient for a college visit."
Room was fine for a short visit - comfortable but not exceptional. Only problem was with room keys; they had to be reprogrammed a couple of times. Pool was small, the hot tub and fitness room were worthwhile. The staff were friendly. Close to RMU. Will probably stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Sweet as a Sugar cookie"
Great staff...very pleasant and loved the warm cookiesGenuine Expedia guest review
"Broken Glass pieces found in room."
Broken Glass pieces were found in room and the staff did nothing about it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It need to be updated. A d the bathroom is very s a d out dated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Check before you unpack"
I booked two queen beds and I was given two double beds. When I presented my conformation the desk told me it came in as a double? really?Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel if your neighbors are polite"
The bed was extremely comfortable and the toiletries were excellent. The room did smell like it had been smoked in before which triggered both of our sinuses. The walls and doors are a bit thin. We arrived at the hotel late on our flight from the west coast only to have some drunk, rowdy men wake us up at 5 am.... That was the big disappointment but […] that isn't wholly the hotel's fault. Breakfast was excellent and was served with a smile. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not bad"
Close to airport. Comfortable stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
just what I had hoped forGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Plumbing Issues"
The hotel staff was friendly and the restaurant food was excellent. However, after checking into our room, we discovered the commode was not working. We called the front desk requesting a repair of the plumbing issue. The maintenance man was unable to resolve the plumbing problem. It was kind of disappointing paying a high price for this room. I sent […] an email to the hotel general manager about the plumbing issue. She failed to respond back to my email to her. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Place!"
I stayed for only 1 night but the staff were top notch! Very accommodating to any & every request! I guess the only thing that could have made it better was if the other guest would have been more quiet. I know that's not the staffs fault but over all my night was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel"
The hotel is quite old looking but is very clean. The staff are very polite, courteous and friendly. I was very satisfied.Genuine Expedia guest review

OKGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great airport hotel"
Great front desk & shuttle drivers...especially at 5:30am!Genuine Expedia guest review
"wedding and visit to pgh sights"
stay was fine location convient to our destinations, our only complaint was pool and hot tub had too strong of chemicals, I could not use hot tub because just the fumes made my eyes hurt and tear. After swimming my skin was extremely dry and itchy. we end up not even letting grandkids swim because of fumes and strength of chemicalsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Everything was good. We stayed there because they had an indoor pool but we didn't really get to use it much because it was over chlorinated. Also the elevators were down for a bit on the morning of our check out and we were on the fifth floor. Luckly someone reported it and they fixed them.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel and easy to get to."
staff was very nice. Made arrangement for a later check out with no problem as my family was waiting for me to get done at a seminar. Pool and hot tub were also very nice. Shopping within 5 miles. Close to everythingGenuine Expedia guest review
"extra soap"
Overall the hotel was great close to airport, nice pool for the kids comfortable bed, but someone elses soap still in the shower from the day before. I just question how good does any hotel really clean the rooms. Still would probably stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
Great place to relax and unwind after a long drive. They had a live band on the patio bar which was great to listen to.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Highly Recommended Hotel"
Great experience. Location was convenient to the airport, malls and the city of Pittsburgh.... the restaurant was crowded, but service was great. Late night bar was friendly and rowdy and familiar..... a great place to congregate for a good time..... decor was inviting and suited the clientele.... I really enjoyed my stay.... Kudos to the staff and […] management for their professionalism.... Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice clean hotel"
The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Very nice hotel. No refrigerators in the room, and the tv is a pain to use. Other than that, great place to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
hallway to room smelled of wet dog. one of the two beds smelled of wet dog and the room over all smelled of smoke. noise from wedding below can be heard in roomGenuine Expedia guest review
Great place to stay...would only say they need to monitor amount of chlorine used in pool area,Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"sleep with confidence that you'll make your flight"
we needed a hotel close to the airport that was nice, safe, clean & comfortable. We had an early a.m. flight & needed to be sure we would get a wake-up call & secure transportation. (We'd had an unfortunate experience with that at another hotel) Doubletree staff (Carlos & Mike) were exceptionally friendly, accomodating and assured us they would wake […] us up & get us to the airport on time. they did, and gave us a great start to our trip. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"great get away"
It was a nice time. I felt like I was truly on a vacation.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Comfortable stay. We stay here when we come from NY for concerts.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great beds."
I love Doubletree beds & pillows & shampoo & cookies. Bathroom was a little small and there wasn't a great place to do make-up.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No working toilet in room"
I asked for adjoining room (for our children). Adjoining rooms were not available till 2nd day. The room we were given had a plugged toilet that the hotel sent someone up to work on 3 times. It still did not work. We had a room with an unusable toilet. Next day we were moved to adjoining rooms. The towel bar fell off the wall. The hotel staff tried […] to be helpful but I would never stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"You Get What You Pay For"
The overall experience was fine. When I made this reservation I did not indicate that I wanted a handicapped equipped room, but when I arrived at my room it was for a handicapped individual. I am not sure why we were placed in this room. The shower head was broken and you were unable to stand to take a shower which was very displeasing to me. I called […] for extra towels and never received them. Had to use a small hand towel after bathing. We were only staying overnight so that we could take our daughter to the airport the next morning so for the price we paid for the room it was adequate. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

The broken engagement was only between two colleges, of course, but it is still hard to make a "Dear John" letter sound like anything else. After studying Yale's affiliation proposal (TIME, Dec. 30, 1966) for nearly a year, Vassar's trustees last week declined marriage, preferring to remain, as they put it, "mistress in our own house."

THE body that makes most county NHS funding decisions has narrowly avoided an overspend after being let off bills worth millions of pounds.
Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) was on course to overspend £6.1m against a planned budget of £630.6m by March 31.
But it ended the financial year £300,000 under budget after agreements, including a write-off by other NHS organisations it owed cash to.
The OCCG decides where cash is spent such as in hospitals run by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (OUHT) and mental health teams.
But it said rising demand for services saw it billed for more than it can afford by other NHS organisations, leading to deals to avoid an overspend.
Interim chief executive Ian Wilson said: "The main reason for the budget deficit throughout the year was the increased activity for acute care, which resulted in increased spending with OUHT.
"Planned admissions were higher than in the previous year while OUHT has also had to deal with significant waiting list pressures.
"Ambulance journeys were up 5.8 per cent on last year and A&E attendances were up one per cent.
"Outpatient appointments were also higher over the year.
"The past year has been extremely challenging."
The hospital trust – which runs Oxfordshire's hospitals – wrote off an OCCG debt but Mr Wilson would not reveal the figure, saying it was "commercially sensitive".
Mr Wilson said: "Despite the trust's best efforts there has been unprecedented demand for hospital services.
"They are entitled to be paid for the extra services they provided. But they have agreed to take on some of the costs in their budget."
NHS England also wrote off £1.2m OCCG owed for cervical cancer screening.
Mr Wilson said: "They have said because of our financial difficulties, they are allowing us not to reimburse them for it."
Payment for £2m worth of antenatal care has also been moved into this financial year, which started on April 1.
This is because of a change in national rules that means payments can be rolled forward to the next financial year.
The group saved a further £1.2m by underspending on its IT budget.
Mr Wilson said: "This money came from a national pot and was released very late in the financial year, and we just couldn't get rid of it all."
The group's budget for the current 2014/15 financial year has been increased by £14.5m to £645.1m.
- David Smith will take over as the head of the OCCG in June. He is moving from Kingston Clinical Commissioning Group in London where his role is 'accountable officer'.

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha will be honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema award at the forthcoming edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards ceremony to be held in Tampa Bay, Florida next month.
"Sholay" fame filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, who directed Shatrughan in movies like "Shaan" and "Zamana Deewana", made the announcement here Thursday.
"This year, the Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema award will go to Shatrughan Sinha," Sippy said at an IIFA press conference here.
The annual gala, said to be Hindi cinema's largest extravaganza abroad, will be held for the 15th time. This year, the event makes its US debut and will be held in Tampa Bay, Florida from April 23-26.
Lovingly called 'Shotgun', Shatrughan, an actor-politician, started his career in 1970. He is known for films like "Kalicharan", "Blackmail", "Dostana" and "Shaan".

New ATI Radeon™ E4690 MXM Delivers Blazing-Fast Graphics for the Embedded Market
New ATI Radeon™ E4690 MXM Delivers Blazing-Fast Graphics for the Embedded Market
New industry standardized module offers high-performance graphics and superior HD video playback in a compact form actor
At the DIGITIMES Tech Forum (DTF) 2010, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today introduced the ATI Radeon™ E4690 Mobile PCI Express module (MXM) for the graphics-intensive embedded systems. The industry-standard MXM 3.0 specification for graphics subsystems calls for reduced power, improved cooling capability and a lower z-height, enabling designers to create smaller, more efficient embedded systems and speed time to market. The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM features more than triple the 3D graphics performance of previously available solutions with low CPU utilization and brilliant picture quality.1 With its massively parallel, programmable architecture, the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM is designed for compute intensive, embedded applications such as digital signage, image recognition, signal processing and surveillance, arcade and casino games, medical imaging, and more.
Working in collaboration with ALT Software, a leading supplier of 2D and 3D graphics, AMD is able to offer customers an alternative to custom programming by developing a standards-based parallel processing API, helping them to improve performance in embedded computing systems by leveraging the power of the graphics processor (GPU). For example, the GPU has become a standard hardware component in many aerospace and defense systems, making it an ideal parallel processing solution.
Unsurpassed Performance, Power Efficiency, and Flexibility
- The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM features 512MB of on-board GDDR3 memory, 320 shader processors, a comprehensive set of display output options and adjustable system clocks for exacting power and performance requirements.
- As the industry's only embedded graphics chip to offer support for both Microsoft DirectX® 10.1 and AMD's Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2), the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM enables competitive advantages for AMD's embedded customers by providing outstanding graphics support coupled with high quality video playback performance
- Incorporating ATI PowerPlayTM intelligent power management technology, the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM is designed to optimize power consumption and enable exceptional performance per Watt for power sensitive embedded applications.
- System designers have ultimate flexibility with a comprehensive selection of outputs including dual independent display controllers, integrated DisplayPortTM, integrated single & dual-link LVDS, integrated single & dual-link DVI /TMDS/HDMI and analogue outputs.
- Supported by ATI Stream technology, the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM can replace numerous system hardware components (e.g. FPGAs, DSPs etc.), helping to reduce overall system power, size, and cost.
As the graphics requirements for embedded systems continue to increase, AMD has armed the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM with features that are important to our customers and done so within an industry-standard specification that helps simplify design, development and market delivery," said Richard Jaenicke, director of Embedded Discrete Graphics for AMD. "Based on the successful ATI Radeon™ E4690 GPU, the ready-made ATI Radeon E4690 MXM solution provides the graphics performance, energy efficiency and reliability customers need. This, coupled with the module's five year product life cycle, makes the ATI Radeon E4690 the easy answer for system designers looking to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. 2"
"The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM module is an ideal solution for our aerospace and defense customers," says Dan Joncas, VP Sales ALT Software. "Its parallel processing capabilities open up a whole new range of applications including video surveillance, radar processing, target acquisition and synthetic vision. This module is ideal for manufacturers of embedded systems that require high-performance computing and advanced graphics."

Re: 2560 x 1600 - About Time.
I could be wrong, but I believe font hinting, unlike ClearType, is not about compensating for low resolution. Its purpose is to describe the way in which the components of a character scale differently. The differential scaling affected Gutenberg too, though it probably took a few centuries before the rules were formalised.
As for the resolution achieved in the 15th Century, it was limited by granular phenomena just as much as today's pixel displays. The paper used was rough, the ink was grainy, and type matrices were not very accurate.

The world's largest all-solar ship has been circumnavigating the globe since 2010. In May 2012, the vessel completed a 584-day, 37,000-mile global journey through three oceans and 11 seas with 52 stopovers in 28 countries. But most impressively, the vessel did it all without consuming any fuel. Now on its second world tour, Switzerland's MS Tûranor PlanetSolar is docked in New York's Battery Park City Ferry Terminal where Maritime Reporter was given an opportunity to climb aboard the sun-powered vessel at a press event on Tuesday, June 18. Tûranor, a 35-meter catamaran powered exclusively by solar energy, was designed by New Zealand firm Craig Loomes and was built in Kiel, Germany. Roughly 5,500 square feet of photovoltaic cells line the ship's deck to power two 120kW engines—no fuel, no emissions. Aptly named, Tûranor translates from Sindarin, J.R.R. Tolkien's invented Elvish language from the Lord of the Rings, as power of the sun, but the ship looks more like something from space than anything from Middle Earth. Its strikingly futuristic three-hull design is sleek with movable solar panels that outstretch to resemble giant glistening wings, creating an aesthetic that fittingly parallels the advanced technologies it possesses. While operators aboard ordinary vessels must monitor currents, wind and sea, an extra element is brought into play for the ship's captain, Gerard d'Aboville: the sun. The catamaran's floats contain 8.5 tons of lithium ion batteries which are capable of holding a charge for 72 hours, enabling the ship to sail through the night and under cloud cover. To keep the vessel moving at optimal efficiency, d'Aboville closely monitors Météo-France metrological reports on high-tech weather monitors to plan routes and determine throttle levels. The ship reaches a top speed of 14 knots but usually cruises around five. The ship's slow cruising speed is credited largely to its weight. Weighing in at a hefty 90 tons, Tûranor is by no means a light ship. But the designers' goal was not to construct a fast boat, d'Aboville pointed out, but rather to build a ship with absolutely no exhaust or pollution of any kind. In that the ship succeeds. Solar applications in the commercial shipping sector seem a long way off, d'Aboville said, but the innovative Tûranor is a good start. It is only a matter of time before more completely solar ships emerge. The PlanetSolar crew will depart New York on Thursday, June 20 and head up the Gulf Stream as Tûranor continues its trans-Atlantic voyage that began in La Ciotat, France in Mach. The ship is scheduled to make stops in Boston, St. John's and Reykjavik before ending its expedition in Bergen.

So this is gonna happen now, huh?
Come on man! It's Veteran's Day! (observed)
What a bunch of dicks.
Off topic though...
How weird is it that Iron Man and the other Various Avengers are in my city at this very moment?
Seriously, they are...and I don't live in Hollywood...or a fantasy world, although in fairness...I am posting on GLP.
I live in a place called "Wilmywood"...or, "Hollywood East". They are filming Iron Man 3, promos for the upcoming Avengers and every other Marvel Comics Movie will be made here now. Not to mention the TV show Revolution, which holds up effin traffic in town every damn week...seriously...they are shooting like thirty separate projects here...it's getting outta hand.
I'll put a call into the studio at once and have the Avengers dispatched immediately. I'll even throw in Dwayne the Rock Johnson...he's here all the damn time now...filming some bad movie...shit, you can have "Gus Fring" and Michael Madsen too. Travolta, I hope your lame ass never shows up here again...you were a Dick. Vince Vaughn and Steve Buscemi can come back anytime and get stabbed again at any of our local downtown bars anytime (that was a little overboard, didn't mean that literally)
Having DeNiro here is cool, but that's about it. The rest of em can take all their Vans and Cameras and PA's and head to Dubai.
Doesn't Tony Stark have a place out there anyway?
My town is turning into Hollywood, we had effin TMZ here. The Avengers can go fight some Iranian ass and get outta my town for a little while.

Subject | Providing RMI access for a model 2 - shared deployment |
Date | Tue, 13 Feb 2007 22:43:09 GMT |
Hi all, We have multiple webapps deployed in the same web container accessing a single JackRabbit repository as a shared resource. We'd like to use tools such as the Eclipse viewer and/or command line utility (which is excellent by the way) to access the same repository remotely. Is it possible to deploy an additional JackRabbit.war configured for RMI within the same container to expose the repository via RMI, but allow fast local access for the other apps? Thanks in advance, Shaun PS> Zukka, thanks for the useful comments on import/export. ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of spam?

This new model is a fresh look at power yachting and is technologically sophisticated. Regarding safety, the new TN50 boasts single-handed maneuverability, stability, and excellent visibility. With accessible side hull doors, and an opening door at the helm, one person can operate this yacht with ease. The twin Volvo Penta IPS600 engines make for clean, simple docking, allowing on-point maneuverability. The TN50 hull is crafted after a lobster boat design, which has been solidly founded and proven seaworthy in its shape. The result is a stable cockpit and wide decks that allow for easy movement. The modern design of the True North 50 is visible throughout every aspect and every feature, enhancing the ability to entertain and enjoy the outdoors. The wide reverse transom interludes to a spacious cockpit suitable for dining, complete with modular seats, dining table and trimmed in elegant hand-finished teak. There is certainly no lack of space to grill on the outdoor barbeque. The cockpit has abundant storage: hidden lockers for lines, fenders, scuba equipment, or any gear your adventure requires. The main deck galley keeps the host in the middle of the action. The helm layout features Volvo Penta's glass cockpit by Garmin. There is plenty of room below deck as well as above. The TN50 has a two-cabin/two-head layout. The forward master stateroom allows for plenty of space to relax, and is accompanied by a private en suite head with a separate shower and dressing table. The centerline queen berth is accessible from three sides. The wooden interior emanates a cozy feel, but still sustains the comforting light and airy feel of the coastal lifestyle. This advanced design provides plenty of space and storage to ensure that this yacht is safe, stable and easy to entertain on, while highlighting the element of fun for which True North is known. Aboard, the TN50 hosts a retractable swim ladder, so guests may help themselves out of the water easily and forward sun-pads rest on the roomy bow for leisure time. Stand up paddle boards and kayaks are easily stored on the top of the pilothouse. In addition to the numerous standard features, the factory options allow customization to be tailored to the owners' requests. True North 50 Hull #1 is currently under construction and will be available for 2014. US Watercraft LLC (USW) is located in Warren, R.I., and manufactures True North Yachts, Alerion Yachts, North Rip, and is the parent company of Waterline Systems.

The upcoming month of Mar Heshvan is the only month of the Hebrew calendar that does not feature even a minor observance – not even a fast day.Especially given the fact that this month comes right after the action-packed month of Tishrei – which is host to the High Holy Days and Succot, with its high-profile, action-oriented mitzvot – this month of Mar Heshvan seems particularly drab and colorless... a fitting introduction to winter.After the rush of adrenalin we experience in Tishrei that manifests itself in every aspect of our prayers and spiritual pursuits, is this month not something of an anticlimax? Indeed, as the month of Heshvan enters, the concept of disappointment seems to transcend our personal idiom and take on a universal theme, running parallel to our own lives, through the Torah portions that begin the month. In the Torah portion of Bereshit, we are told God was pleased with the world. Upon completing His creation, He looked and beheld that it was very good. Yet by the time we reach the end of the portion – and a mere 10 generations have passed from Adam to Noah – God was so disappointed with His creation He regretted having made man, and decided to destroy all life with the exception of the righteous Noah and those with him in the ark. And don't forget that it was on the 17th day of this very month of Mar Heshvan that the flood began.But a fascinating mystical tradition relates that although on the surface Heshvan doesn't have much to offer, in truth, the best is yet to come: "The Tabernacle of the desert was completed by Moses in the month of Kislev, however the Holy One, blessed be He, commanded him to wait until the following Nisan to inaugurate it. The month of Kislev was embarrassed, and so God rewarded her with the rededication of the Second Temple, during the era of Hanukka."The First Temple, built by King Solomon, was completed during the month of Mar Heshvan [the month known as 'Bul'; see I Kings 6:38], however, through Divine inspiration, King Solomon knew that he was not to dedicate it until the following Tishrei. So, the month of Mar Heshvan was embarrassed... and God promised to repay it in the future, with the dedication ceremony of the Third Temple."(Midrash Yalkut Melachim 184 as cited in Bnei Yissaschar) HOW SHOULD a tradition such as this be understood? Is it merely an anecdote, a whimsical tale of a "month being embarrassed," devoid of any significance in our real world? What would it take to make a dream like this – the dream of the dedication of the Third Temple – come true? If there is one thing we know about the Jewish people, it's that our dreams always come true. But it is the people of Israel themselves who make these dreams happen.A constant recurring theme in the Torah is that everything is up to us. This is exactly why the Sea of Reeds did not split until one man – Nachshon, the son of Aminadav, prince of the tribe of Judah – walked out into the water until the sea came up to his nostrils, and he could walk no further. God made a miracle, to be sure... but only after one man showed Israel that nothing will happen until we do all that we can possibly do ourselves... and not a drop less.There is a spiritual revolution taking place in Israel. This past Succot bore witness to a great outpouring of Jewish love, dedication and devotion to the Temple Mount, as seen by the huge crowds, hailing from all over the land as well as from abroad, who withstood waiting on lines in the blistering sun for hours, and indignation at the hands of the police, all for the chance of even a brief opportunity to ascend the mountain.Those who succeeded felt the life-changing effect of being in this unique place, "seen by God" in the holiest place on earth, and of being part of the unfolding destiny of the nation of Israel and the redemption of all humanity – especially on the festival of Succot, whose observance in the Holy Temple effects a rectification for all mankind. Those who ascended could not wait to return and vowed to come back again and again... and those who waited long hours only to be turned away were only strengthened in their resolve to return to visit the Temple Mount as often as possible.This is how the Third Temple will be rebuilt. When we see how the nation of Israel, with its collective, intuitive wisdom and pure faith, is peacefully changing the facts on the ground, we can understand how, after such a Tishrei, Mar Heshvan is anything but drab... it is laden with promise and potential, because the best is yet to come.We can understand how the Jewish people will see to it that Hashem will keep His promise to the month of Heshvan, with the dedication of the new Holy Temple, which will bring about the resting of the Divine Presence and the ultimate healing of all mankind. This is the plain and simple meaning of this enigmatic Midrashic teaching: If we will it, it will be.The writer, a rabbi, is the director of the international department of the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.

Lewis Hamilton v Nico Rosberg: 'This is now a war zone'
BBC Sport looks at the battle between Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg during the first six races of the 2014 Formula 1 season.
The pair have finished first and second in every race so far, except the opening race in Australia, when Hamilton retired early on with a misfiring engine.
The rivalry between the two intensified during qualifying at Monaco, when a mistake from Rosberg meant Hamilton could not complete his final lap and thus secured Rosberg's pole. Despite an investigation Rosberg was cleared of any wrongdoing.

ST. GEORGE — Dixie State College of Utah got its name after Mormon settlers, primarily from the South, tried to turn the warm region into a cotton-growing mecca in the 1800s.
But some people argue the moniker carries negative, Deep South connotations and should be stricken from the name of the campus that features a statue of Confederate soldiers and only recently retired the Rebel as its school mascot.
"The question really is, do you want to be perceived by everybody else on the planet as a defiant school promoting racism, or do you want to be perceived as a respectable school which promotes the high ideals of our society?" said community member Richard Hutchins, who attended a Thursday forum exploring a potential name change.
Hutchins was one of more than 100 people at the emotional meeting in St. George that was organized as the school with about 10,000 students seeks to become a university, The Spectrum of St. George reported.
With that status expected in January, the debate over Dixie — and the school's identity — is heating up.
"The name most likely won't change after this because where do you go after you've reached university status?" said Erik Sorenson, president of the marketing company researching the change. "This is who Dixie State is going to be for the next 100 plus years."
Other names under consideration include Zion University, Utah Southwestern University, Red Rock University, and St. George University.
But some people want to keep the name or a variation of it, saying it's part of the region's heritage and doesn't have racial subtext among Utahns who have long known the area as "Utah's Dixie."
"I think we are becoming over-concerned about political correctness and ruining our heritage. I don't think we have to give up one for the other," said Margaret Leigh, a St. George resident.
Former faculty member Connie Corbett Keate pointed out a name change would affect everything from school songs to an iconic "D'' emblazoned on a nearby hillside.
The heritage argument isn't swaying opponents of the current name. Some gathered around the campus soldier statue before the forum, holding candles and draping a sheet over its metallic Confederate flag.
"Frankly, I understand the feelings of tradition. However, the success of the university and of the students will be severely hindered by the name Dixie," said Michael Eaton, an adjunct English professor at Dixie State, according to The Spectrum.

Wichita U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown was honored Friday as not just an old judge, but a great one.
A week after turning 100, Brown stoically sat on the bench for a courtroom ceremony as hundreds of colleagues, friends and family members marked his birthday.
He listened patiently to the accolades, laughing at times as friends recounted fond memories. They lauded him as a humble and caring person, called him an inspiration, and praised his common sense.
"This is a great opportunity because I get to attend my own wake," Brown quipped later.
Brown is the oldest federal judge in the nation still hearing cases. At least two other sitting federal judges - one in New York City and the other in Cincinnati - are in their 90s, said Dick Carelli, spokesman for the federal court in Washington, D.C.
Appointed by President John F. Kennedy on April 12, 1962, Brown has presided over a variety of cases in his 45 years on the federal bench. His judicial career has reflected the changes in federal civil rights and environmental laws and the proliferation of federal criminal laws.
He presided over one of the most expensive cases in Kansas history - a multimillion-dollar dispute over who owned the helium in natural gas. The case began in 1963 and lasted 25 years.
During his tenure, Brown has served under 26 U.S. Supreme Court justices, four chief justices of the United States, and 33 U.S. Circuit Court judges, said Deanell Reece Tacha, chief judge for the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Now that is a lesson in tolerance and adaptiveness," she said.
John Roberts, chief justice of the United States, thanked Brown in a video message for his service, telling Brown that he demonstrated his respect for the rule of law.
"You have passed on to all of us a legacy of pride in our nation," Roberts said.
Among the 18 law clerks who served during Brown's tenure was Monti Belot, now a U.S. District Court judge serving in the same courthouse. He called him a great teacher and practitioner of the law.
"It is impossible to place a value on the profound influence he has had on our careers and our lives," Belot said.
His son, Miller Brown, said his father never doubted the essential justice of the law. He called his father "extraordinary."
"He didn't want to be known just as an old judge, but a good one," Miller Brown said, his voice choking with emotion. "You are not just an old judge, but a great one."
