text: on May 27, 2013 @ 6:16 AMMay 27, 2013 @ 6:16 AM Published Renault plays down collapse of Israeli-US battery firmFrench car manufacturer Renault played down on Monday the effect of the bankruptcy of Israeli-US firm Better Place, a pioneer of rapid changeover of electric-car batteries.Renault said that the collapse of Better Place, for which it had developed a battery-switching technology designed to make it easier for drivers to recharge their vehicles, did not in any way undermine Renault-Nissan's strategy to develop in the market for cars powered by electric batteries.Renault said that it had sold about 1,000 of its Renault Fluence electric cars, mainly in Israel but also in Denmark and the Netherlands.This amounted to little more than 1.0 percent of total sales of electric cars by Renault-Nissan, said the head of Renault's operations in the Asia-Pacific region Gilles Normand."In no way does this put in question our strategy concerning electric vehicles," he said.Renault was a partner of Better Place, but was not a shareholder.The French group declined to say how much it had invested in the partnership, for which it developed a technology called "Quick Drop" for switching quickly the batteries driving the engine once they had become discharged.The investment amounted to a "very small part" of 4.0 billion euros ($5.2 billion) allocated by Renault-Nissan up to 2015 for the development in the segment for electrically powered cars, a sector in which the group is a world leader, Normand said.In 2009, Better Place and Renault had hoped to sell 100,00 electric vehicles in Israel and Denmark by 2016, but sales have been running at 1.0 percent of this target.Norman remarked: "When you want to be a leader in a segment, you have to take risks. When you open a route of innovation as big as the electric car, you can't close doors, but rather the opposite."Renault would now review whether or not to abandon Quick Drop technology, for which Better Place was the only customer."We are coordinating with them to ensure that after-sales service continues, particularly in Israel," Normand said.Press reports in Israel say that Better Place had absorbed $850 million (657 million euros) since it was created by entrepreneur Shai Agassi in 2007. It operated slightly more than 50 service stations, of which 38 were in Israel and 17 in Denmark.The company was based on technology enabling the drivers of electric cars to charge their vehicles up with electricity. This was done by switching batteries with the use of a robot.The objective was to overcome one of the problems with electric cars which is the time needed to recharge batteries from a mains connection.map/hd/jhbRENAULT

Subject: | Unique from this point forward | ||
View as plain text |
Is there any way to define a column in MySql 4 that is to be unique from
this point forward. Meaning, there are indeed dupes in the column now,
those are ok, there is really no repairing that damage as the data was
inherited from somewhere else. I am constantly having to select the column
to see if there is a dupe entry in it before inserting, I would like to stop
having to do this and define the column as unique from this point forward.
However, in trying this, MySql will not allow me to make it unique until I
remove all the duplicates.

A few things that some me up: -I carry a gallon of water around EVERYWHERE -I go to the gym daily, that doesn't mean I won't have time for you. -I cook about 90% of the food I eat. -I stay tan all year because I get that seasonal depression thing in the winter.. Vitamin D is important. -I love sushi and steak -I'm a home-body; I'd rather stay at home with my dog before going to spend $100s at a club or on the strip -I'm looking for something real; that means love. -I enjoy the little things in life. Seriously. -A southern accent melts my heart but that doesn't mean you have to have one. -I don't want to waste my time if you're pursuing many men at once. -I'm real and I'm not here to play games. If you've made it to this point you'll love whats next:) I want A girl I can watch when she sleeps. Someone to kiss me when we wake up. She must love to cuddle. Someone to tease me when I'm goofy. To hold my hand when we go out. Unlock the driver side door after I close yours. Grab my arm in the movie theater. Ask me how my day went. Smile when I walk into the room. So much more but.. I'm Shane, I'm from Little Egg Harbor, NJ! Just in case your wondering... A little about me! My heart is bigger than my biceps – I am affectionate and generous, and I love to please others. My childhood, although rough, taught me to enjoy the moments and make sure I appreciate the good times and the good people. I look forward to having a family of my own someday and creating a wonderful atmosphere where my own children flourish. I am looking for a long-lasting relationship based in trust and honesty – I wasn't raised to play around with someone's heart. My ideal match has a beauty that begins from the inside and radiates to her outer beauty. Long hair and a wonderful fragrance is a plus, but it is a deeper attraction I search for. She has a strong moral character and an ability to create comfort for others. But she can always find the humor in a situation and have a good time. She is devoted to family and home, and she has confidence without ego. When I see the sparkle in her eyes, I'll know! If I wink at you I'm interested and I'm looking to know more about you, but If I email you... You might have my attention:) If you don't fit my criteria keep searching.. Don't be afraid to message, we're all here to meet someone.. Good luck and God Bless!

I was at a session last week when something happened that should NEVER happen.
The artist whom I am working with at the time (no names) mentioned a song we had worked on along with this same engineer a few nights before. The artist felt that the same treatment which was used on one song would work on the song we were working on on this evening...NO NO NO NO NO!!
The engineer and I both looked at each other in shock. The artist had shown his inexperience (Don't do that!) by saying this.
What is the title of the piece you are working on?... Right, if it is not the same piece so, you never treat it as such...NEVER!
When you create a special effect, never duplicate it on anything else. Never think that the eq moves you made on one song will work on the next song. DO NOT THINK LIKE THIS, IT IS A DISEASE!
Each song has it's own uniquely, individual spirit, it's own life...Songs are not dried Sea Monkey eggs which come in identical packages. When they are treated as such, nothing sounds special.

Originally posted by Torvaldr That isnt their problem, its yours. To appease you, they would make their freemiun plan so amazing that there is no real incentive to sub, so all the subs drop and there goes their main revenue stream. You seem to be the type of person that cares more about the amount they pay vs what they play. In my opinion, EQ2 as a game is enormous leaps and bounds better than the very loose ftp models like AIon and TERA. GW2, on the other hand, is a very high quality game. But its shallow in the wrong parts to me. I would never think 'hey, i dont really like GW2 that much, but its free so Ill play it." Ill play the game I enjoy most and dont let something petty like 12-15 a month stop me. |
Originally posted by Nadia I still just totally don't understand why you would do that. I would be a returning player, the type that SOE would like to have back because I still have like $90 worth of SC just sitting around. I was a launch day vet on EQ2, ALL my gear is fabled. I don't even have a backup set of gear I can wear unless I sub, without buying/crafting, and it seems stupid that I would come back in F2P to be underpowered. Restrictions, if any, should be content based. Limit the dungeons/raids I have access to, make my lockout timers longer, reduce my AA gain, etc. Just cripple my character to get me to sub and I just won't play your game any more. Let me play, and I'll probably buy useless crap from the store, or boosts, or unlocks, etc. You'll get your $15/month from me and probably more. |
Originally posted by sbanes if all your gear is fabled - you are likely an endgame player I agree with you that you should be able to return and wear your existing gear when I advocated having ftp restrictions on Fabled gear -- what I *really* meant to say was Legendary gear should be accessible to ftp players especially when the lowest tier of gear available for the last 2 years has been legendary alternatively: leave the gear restrictions as they are but make ALL solo quest gear wearable -- why is all gear in DOV+ legendary or higher ? SOE only has interest in making their older content ftp for the last 3 expansions there have been no improvements to wear any of the gear in the newer content |
Originally posted by strangiato2112 You seem like the kind of person that likes to make assumptions about other people to support your viewpoint. Your opinion about what EQ2 offers compared to other games is irrelevant in the bigger picture. It's true on a very subjective personal level, but not when applying that view to a broader perspective. The game being better or worse has nothing to do with the "very loose ftp models" of other games. I don't play GW2, Tera, TSW, or any of my other sub-free games because they're "free", but because I find them entertaining. I have an entertainment budget and keep to that. I have plenty of Station Cash, but that's not the point. If I don't like how SoE monetizes the game then I'm not going to pay for it. It's sort of like Nadia said above. It would be nice if SoE provided an incentive for Silver Players to buy the xpacs. As it stands now, they don't really. And that *is* their problem. It all comes down to the fact I have other game choices and if they want my money they need to structure their system in a way that encourages me to spend with them. I'm subscribed to Tera right now because, as I level, it's a great value to me. What incentive do I have to subscribe to EQ2? Why should I buy DoV (or the next xpac)? You're right about one thing though, improving their sub-free model at the moment would be a detriment to their subscription system, but then that shows their sub system is poor and needs improved itself. No one has as many friends as a man with many cheeses! |
I just want to know if they upgraded the character models. I havent played since they upgraded the models sometime around planes of power or something.

Originally posted by Nadia So do you believe that EQ or EQ2 could still be sustained with its current development rate as a solely subscription model? I'm not going to put away my umbrella today just because it was sunny during eq's first five years |
Originally posted by Zorgo I really have no idea regarding subs post WOW (circa Fall 2004) when WOW launched, the entire mmo landscape changed for *all* other mmos w subs Even Lineage, the worlds largest sub game suffered and lost subs |
To everyone complaining about gear restrictions: If you're at a point in the game where those restrictions are impacting you, then maybe you just need to subscribe already. |
People are so annoying. This is great, its more free stuff, exactly what you want. Stop expecting to be a freeloader all your life. If you don't want limits, pay up. Why does the whole world think everyone should give them everything they want for 100% free with no strings attached....That's not how life works!!! It's a lot like old shareware, play a bit of the game, if you like it pay up and enjoy everything or just buy the parts you want. Maybe I was just younger and didn't pay attention, but i feel like people didn't complain as much about shareware as they do with F2P, when essentially they are the same thing.
If I want a world in which people can purchase success and power with cash, I'll play Real Life. Keep Virtual Worlds Virtual! |
Originally posted by Zorgo EQ, yes. It was p2p until last year, and with its age its doubtful the f2p made a significant boost. EQ2 is trickier. the freemium model has certainly helped it at least acquire enough subs to keep the churn somewhat level (in fact I think EQ2 is one of the few games with more players now than 2 years ago, or at least close to it...but we have no real numbers for this). there is no question SoE liked the results because they rolled out the same system in VG and EQ and not the pay for content model of DCUO. Now both games do make some decent money in their fluffshops, and i don't know if they can survive without that. I don't know how much of the money goes to SoE develpmont and to Sony itself. The reality is the sub model didn't fail them-EQ still did well enough post WoW and EQ2 suffered from a poor product at launch, and you never want to launch the same time is the industry behemoth. The fact EQ2 was able to recover was pretty impressive. the notion of failing because of too much content is absurd. |
Last I heard EQ1 and EQ2 had about the same amount of subs....Anyone know if that is still true?
Fantastic !
The spell limits (at least for non raiders) can be overcome easily with a small purchase. I wish they had a similar purchase for gear, at least non raid gear.
Sony should just quit calling it Free to Play , Your Way and call it Buy to Play... Legendary Gear is everywhere, Treasured gear is almost non existant, even in vanilla old content, I get more ornates than treasured gear and a lot of masters... Now, every company wants to make a profit but, not being able to use legendary is a huge problem for people when it seems like 90% of the gear is legendary and about 10% of drops are treasured. Back when we used to get Wooden Treasure Chests off names all the time it would have been a great idea, but this is then and that was several years ago. Personally, from my own experience, I am finding a lot of legendary gear around forcing subscriptions on people, unless they really like just running around with Handcrafted and Adept spells, but you can still play that way, it just isn't exactly "your way". The spell limits are not any problem imo, its just the legendary restriction, especially in Velious, where everything is Legendary forcing people to buy unlockers and then stop upgrading entirely. I've taken my character that I newly leveled with a subscription, and at level 94 with legendaries from Chains of Eternity solo zones I can play pretty well with low spell quality, a lot better than you could with Master spells and lacking equipment... |
I haven't played my favorite game ever, EQII, since before it went F2P -- if it hasn't ruined the subscriber experience then I'll be elated. I will return to see. Anyone playing for free and barely if at all supporting the game by purchasing anything at all are cry babies for griping. I wish the pressure to make games F2P had never happened. If you can't spend $15/mo. on something that has this much maintenance in it you don't belong on anyones server. Everquest rules. |

Originally posted by Divmontru2 these are two types of gamers. The freebies and the subscribers. Now, What about the people stuck in the middle like me who dont like to commit to a subscription but are more than happy to give constant support through cash shop every time they add new stuff? It doesnt matter how much we spend in the cash shop we still lose because we cant wear competitive gear or get high level skills. That is the only reason why i dont play EQ2 and Swtor anymore. Supporting the game you like is always good, as long as you are not left out in the wild just because you arent subscribing. I dont play the games that treat non-subscribers like trash even if they constantly use the cash shop to support the game. |

Excellent addition for heating. You do have to turn your heater on in the morning and evening to get the tempurature up, but then these heaters keep the temperature at a constant comfortable rate. It is attractive and easy to move around. I found it very safe. I was concerned about my 2 chihuahua's, but there's no need. You can touch the front of the grill and it is very warm, but doesn't burn you like the other small heaters would. The remaining outside parts are cool to the touch. It has been running constantly since I purchased mine and is doing great. I would definitley recommend this to anyone. It does have a funny smell when you first take it out of the box, but that goes away very quickly.

Lifesmart Power Plus Heater I bought this heater for help heat a large open area of 500 sq ft. since the advertisement said it could heat 1800 sq.ft. I assumed it would help heat without any issues. However, on using the heater does not heat any area well. It blows out cool air as well as some heated air. I am returning the heater unfortunately at my expense.

Nice little heater. We've had this heater for just over two weeks now. It runs almost non-stop most of the day. It does a great job of keeping our living room a decent temperature (15' x 30'). We turn the furnace on in the morning to bring the room temperature up, then turn it off and this heater keeps the temp up for the rest of the day. We may have to turn the furnace back on in the evening, depending on how cold it gets, but for the most part this little heater does the job. I don't know how long it would take to heat the whole room without the boost from the furnace, but I'm guessing it would take a while. I wouldn't recommend it as the sole source of heat, but as a supplement it is fabulous. We like it so well that we ordered another heater for another room. It rolls easily, almost too easily, especially if you have a toddler who tries to use it for balance and discovers a new walking toy. :)

Dec 21, 2012Riders of Doom should be more than capable of ransacking your spare time over the Christmas period, and the generous complement of new Skill Games means it would even work well as a multiplayer distraction when everyone in your family is drunk, ratty and hyper-competitive on Boxing Day afternoon.
Jan 23, 2013In the end, Trials Evolution Riders of Doom is a must have piece of DLC for Trials Evolution that creates another addictive experience that blows open the walls and gives the gamer something bigger and better.
Mar 22, 2013For those who love Trials and want a serious challenge, Trials Evolution: Riders of Doom is the right stuff. For those who already feel like they're in over their heads, give this one a pass.
Jan 9, 2013If you love Trials Evolution, this pack is a no-brainer, even if you have mastered all that has been offered up to this point. No game in history has given me so much satisfaction from frustration at it at every turn.
Jan 3, 2013For just 400 Microsoft Points you get a but load of content. Twenty new trials and a new motorcycle are included in Riders of Doom. Even though the trials and bike are less innovative than the content in Origin of Pain, the trials are way more challenging.
Jan 2, 2013Given the tremendous variety of downloadable tracks available for free, courtesy of both the players and RedLynx itself, charging five dollars for a smattering of content without some serious sort of hook seems almost disingenuous.

MEMORANDUM FOR Board on Assessment of NIST Programs and its Panels
Arden L. Bement, Jr.
Charge to the National Research Council Board on Assessment of NIST Programs
for the FY2003 Evaluation
I am extremely grateful to the members of the Board on Assessment and its panels for the time,
effort, and expertise that all of you devote to evaluating the technical quality of NIST's
laboratory programs. Your findings are a central component of our performance evaluation
system, and help NIST remain a top-quality science and technology agency serving the nation's
measurement needs. NIST highly values your hard work and insights in assessing our laboratory
programs, and we look forward to working closely and productively with you in FY2003.
NIST's mission is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance
productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life. The NIST Laboratories conduct
research to anticipate future metrology and standards needs, to enable new scientific and
technological advances, and to continuously improve and refine existing measurement methods
and services.
For FY2003, I ask that the Board on Assessment continue your longstanding focus on assessing
the technical merit of NIST's laboratory programs. I also ask the Board to continue your focus
on assessing the relevance of NIST work to the needs of our current and future customers.
Potential demand for NIST measurements and standards will always exceed our limited
resources. We ask the Board to continue to help us maximize the impact of our laboratory
programs by focusing on the most significant needs of our customers.
In summary, I ask the Board on Assessment to focus its FY2003 assessment of the NIST
Laboratories on three factors:
the technical quality and merit of the laboratory programs relative to the state-of-the-art
the relevance of the laboratory programs to the current and future needs of customers; and
the effectiveness with which the laboratory programs are carried out and the results
disseminated to customers.
OCR for page 279
As part of its assessment of these three factors, I ask the Board and its Panels to consider the
adequacy of the Laboratories' facilities, equipment, and human resources to enable the
Laboratories to fulfill their mission and meet their customers' needs. At the October 16
Workshop, NIST and the Board briefly discussed possible indicators of performance for each ot-
the factors that may provide guidance to the Board and its Panels in the assessment process. I
look forward to discussing these indicators and their potential use with the Board in more detail
at the December meeting.
With its mix of experts from industry, academia, and government agencies, the Board is well
positioned to help NIST evaluate its laboratory programs on each of these factors. As in past
years, your findings will be used by NIST internally for continuous improvement in each area of
evaluation and externally for reporting to key stakeholders on the quality, relevance, and
performance of the NIST laboratories. NIST's key stakeholders, including the Department of
Commerce, the Administration, and Congress, use your findings to help ensure an optimal return
on the public's investment in NIST. The Board's reports, statements, and briefings based on
independent and comprehensive expert peer review are a cornerstone of NIST's perfonnance
evaluation system and are featured prominently in our reports to the Administration and
Congress under the terms of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) R&D investment criteria. The Board's annual
published assessment is a thorough and comprehensive document of great value to NIST and our
stakeholders. I am pleased that the Board agreed at the October 16 Workshop to provide a brief
"Stakeholder's Statement" document as part of the FY2003 assessment that will address issues
the Board believes should be of interest to NIST's key stakeholders. This document will be
valuable in helping to more broadly disseminate the Board's key findings.
Thank you again for contributing your time and expertise to assess the quality and relevance of
NIST's laboratory programs. Your expert, objective appraisal is crucial to helping NIST
continuously improve its programs and effectiveness.

Flo Rida – Jump Soundtrack Lyrics (feat. Nelly Furtado) [ from "G-Force" Movie (2009) ]
(Intro [Nelly Furtado])
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (x4)

When I say jump, you say how high

Like a bird, like a plane, this party got me insane
This party got me insane, so jump jump jump jump

Now I'm gon take it to the roof
Everybody with me got they own parachute
You ain't scared of heights when you sippin on Goose
Party all night like I'm flyin jet new?
You ain't never seen nobody get this loose
Shawty actin naughty with her body, what it do
Jump to this man, bump to this man
Stomp to this man, crunk to this man
Got another hit man
Hold up, I wanna go up, don't wanna throw up
My clique pour up, and every bad chick know us
Dance, the boy got us all feelin high
Ask, the shawty, I'm a astronaut
High rollin baby like I'm jumpin on fire
Super Bowl pimp good Year on tire
Can I be a bird, I gotta be fly
Butterfly and spur, and I got a couple words
(Chorus [Nelly Furtado])
(Verse 2 [Flo Rida])
When I run up in the club, jump in, then I gotta be there
Check it out, shawty like Nike Air
Up up and away take it off like mere?
NBA ballin, I don't care
Now what do you do when you see you a shawty and she make it bounce in the room?
Hey girl, come on baby, you a fine sexy lady, can I get on your hot air balloon?
Sky high, still clubbin like I'm part of the mile high
Ears poppin, Bubbalicious help me get right
Keep poppin in position after midnight
Moese? fried chicken up in NY
Jigga what, don't it feel good
Houston? We gonna jump ship, all aboard
Come around me, and we'll parlay, we're throwed?
Cali is jumpin, hit the switch on the 6 4
(Chorus [Nelly Furtado])
(Break down) [Flo Rida]
Come on and jump, jump, jump (x3)
[All my ladies] get down, get down, get down

Google Earth cracks one billion downloads
updated 08:50 pm EDT, Wed October 5, 2011
App continues to help people see the world
Google has announced that it has reached a major milestone with Google Earth. The software, either as a desktop client, mobile app, or plug-in has now been downloaded over one billion times since its launch in 2005. To celebrate, the company is encouraging viewers to read stories of how people around the world have used Google Earth to explore their world.
The origins of Google Earth date back to 2001, when a company known as Keyhole was founded. The company began to develop an app using geospatial technology. In 2004, the company was acquired by Google, and the next year Google Earth launched.

ST. LOUIS — The area around the Gateway Arch will get a new look, and more than four dozen teams have entered the competition to design it.
KSDK/Channel 5 reported that contest organizers have received portfolios from 49 teams to invigorate the Arch grounds and the area of St. Louis that surrounds the Arch.
This week, a competition jury will review the portfolios and reduce the field to eight to 10 teams. The goal is to cut the ribbon on the new and improved Arch area on Oct. 28, 2015. That's the 50th anniversary of the completion of the Arch.

Slimming Down the Defense Budget
SOURCE: AP/Manuel Balce Ceneta
The Obama administration's newly released fiscal year 2011 defense budget request continues to provide real increases to the historically high level of defense spending that the Bush administration initiated after September 11. The $708 billion budget, which includes the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, represents an increase of nearly 3.4 percent from the FY 2010 baseline budget, or a 1.8 percent real increase over inflation.
The budget does not rebalance the defense budget to meet the national security challenges of the 21st century as the Pentagon should have done as a result of the Quadrennial Defense Review—a planning and strategy document also released on Monday that defines our military's force structure and thus shapes its upcoming budget plans. The FY 2011 defense budget instead tinkers at the margins of reallocating resources to urgent priorities and fails to scale back or eliminate poorly performing or unnecessary weapons programs that are based on threats from a bygone era.
Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families here at home must receive every dollar needed to keep them well equipped and safe. But the federal government can and should do more to rein in spending on the investment portion of the defense budget, which still includes a number of outdated, over budget weapons systems.
The Center for American Progress applauds President Barack Obama's stated emphasis on fiscal responsibility. In order to reign in the large and growing federal deficit, the president has announced that he will initiate a spending freeze on a number of domestic spending programs. But if President Obama is serious about controlling spending, he can't exempt more than $200 billion in the investment accounts in the defense budget, or the ballooning costs of the military health care system.
Pentagon spending is responsible for a large and increasing share of the federal budget's discretionary portion, and giving defense spending a pass will mean that the spending freeze will have only a marginal effect. A close analysis of the FY 2011 defense budget reveals that it does not go far enough to impose real fiscal discipline on our defense spending.
Spending on future weapons systems has outpaced spending on our troops over the last 10 years. As the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments has pointed out, the operations and support portion of the base defense budget—which includes costs for recruitment, training, military and civilian personnel pay, and operating and maintaining equipment—has increased by an annual rate of 3.5 percent above the rate of inflation. Yet it has risen less in real terms than the investment portion of the budget, which includes procurement, research and development, and construction that grew at a real annual rate of 4.6 percent. There are a number of reasonable cuts that could be made to this portion of the budget without sacrificing national security or undermining our troops.
The administration's latest defense budget request includes some of these steps. The budget closes the production line for the C-17 and ends the Navy's EP(X) intelligence aircraft program. And Secretary Robert Gates is right to hold the line against production of the second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. These cuts and reprioritizations are fiscally and strategically smart.
Other moves are cause for concern. Secretary Gates's newly announced initiative to restructure the Joint Strike Fighter program is a welcome development, but the secretary's decision to increase the buy of Joint Strike Fighters from 30 planes in FY 2010 to 42 units in FY 2011 is risky given the program's history of being over budget and behind schedule. The Pentagon should stop production of the plane and keep it in R&D mode this year until it can determine whether the restructuring efforts are adequate to reform the program. It should also remove the one plane slated to be funded through the Overseas Contingency Operations budget. This could save up to $200 million per plane.
Other budget changes that Congress should consider are:
- Canceling the Marine Corps' expeditionary fighting vehicle
- Halting further production of the MV-22 Osprey
- Slowing down spending for missile defense while maintaining funding for its continued research and development
- Keeping the Virginia-class attack submarine production steady at one per year
- Cutting FY 2011 funding for the Army's Future Combat Systems by one-third
- Slashing the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal to 600 deployed warheads and 400 in reserve
- Implementing an across-the-board reduction in research, development, test, and evaluation funding
It is also critical that Congress work with the Pentagon this year to control the steadily increasing cost of military health care. As Secretary Gates noted in yesterday's budget briefing, premiums for TRICARE, the military's health care system, have not been raised in 15 years, despite the Department of Defense's repeated efforts to institute a modest increase.
But the Pentagon needs a more responsible partner in Congress in order to make these necessary cuts and adjustments. Congress has in the past often sought to continue expensive, strategically unmerited programs such as the F-22 Raptor for political, rather than national security, reasons. Members of Congress should not seek to resurrect what few programs have been eliminated in the president's defense budget request to curry favor in their districts.
A productive partnership between Congress and DOD this year can help to bring both the investment portion of the defense budget as well as the costly health care portion of the operations and support budget under control.

Ketchikan students vote to keep current logo
Ketchikan High School students have voted overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the school's king salmon logo.
Reports say students voted 295 to 53 Thursday in favor of the current logo, which was designed by artist Ray Troll. A proposed logo to replace the current one was based on Alaska Native art. That logo was designed by freshman Samuel Rasmussen. The current logo is located on the floor of the school gym, which is being resurfaced this summer. The logo will be reapplied after the floor is sanded. The floor will then be resurfaced. The proposal to replace the logo caused a ripple in the community, with high school alumni coming out overwhelmingly in favor of the current design. |

Making of Peaty's Santa Cruz Solo Launch Video 2
Watching the Santa Cruz Solo video, it would be easy to think the Gaelic Gods gifted them with perfect weather conditions.
Far from it. Snow came down right on the one day they had hired the helicopter... and the Cineflex camera operator pretty much told them he wasn't able to record any decent footage. Only when they got back to camp did we realize the epic scenes that had been captured, and saw how much potential still remains in Scotland.
Watch Chris Ball (Baller Consultancy), Stu Thomson and Scott Marshall (CutMedia), and Sheffield Steel himself (Steve Peat) as they battle to make it count.

Red Rice Frittata
3 ounces slab bacon or 2 slices thick-cut bacon cut into small dice
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth or water
1 15-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon pimentón or paprika
Freshly ground pepper
6 large eggs
Preheat the oven to 425°. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, fry the bacon until firm and barely crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, for a minute or two, until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the broth or water, tomatoes, pepper flakes, pimentón, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and turn the flame as low as possible. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender but still soupy. If not soupy, add more broth or water a tablespoon at a time.
Pour the cooked rice into an 8 x 8 baking dish and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 15-25 minutes, or until all the liquid had been absorbed. At this point, you can proceed to the next step or cool and refrigerate the rice.
Preheat your broiler. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet and stir in about a third of your rice. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. When the rice is heated through, add the eggs to the skillet and quickly stir to combine the rice and eggs evenly. Turn the heat to medium low and cook, rotating the skillet every once in a while, until the frittata has firmed up around the edges, about 10 minutes.
When the frittata's underside is cooked but its middle is still soupy, put it under the broiler and cook until puffed and browning. (I usually leave it for 5 minutes because I prefer my eggs on the dry side, but you might start checking after a minute or two.)

Hey guys, I just picked up some buckets and a console for $150 out of a '98 Z71 to swap into my '95 Cheyenne. I just thought that I would share some pics, like the before and after I cleaned them, before and after the install, and the final product. What do yall think?
Heres some before and after pics of me cleaning the console. I had to take care of my gf since she had her wisdom teeth removed, so I was cleaning it in my living room while she was resting on the couch... This is the console before I cleaned it...
Heres a pic of the bench seat and another Here's both seats out And heres both the seats in I had to paint the rails because they had a little bit of surface rust. I just hit them with a wire brush, wiped them off, then sprayed them with rustoleum after I used a garbage bad to tape off the seat. I still have to mount the console, but I might not use it because I built a speaker box that was also a center console. I'm not sure which one to use just yet. I'll let yall know.
:lol:, well I'm actually in Pearl River right now,which is on the North Shore, but I move to Baton Rouge on the 1st...
I'm close to it, about 2.5 miles. do you know where the Christmas tree farm is? Where at in Slidell? I work at the Jiffy Lube next to Whitney Bank and Daiquiri and Company.
The christmas tree farm on military? Yeah. Oh yeah, I know that shop. Never been there, but I've seen it a million times. Forgot there was a Whitney down on that side. I'm over by the mall.
I'm talking about the Christmas tree farm in Pearl River. I live like 3 miles from Pearl River High School. But yeah, the Jiffy Lube where I work is probably the best oil chnge place in Slidell. I've been to others and they just suck.
Nice swap I had a Cheyenne pickup for a few years myself and always wanted to swap out the bench. I love the cheyenne floor!! Did you paint your interior? I noticed it is all black. How hard was that to do? The interior in my suburban could use some freshening up.

Gulf Oil Spill

Transocean Worries Evidence Is Corroding
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Lawyers for rig owner Transocean of Houston are telling federal investigators that the critical blowout preventer may be corroding. The 50-foot-tall device was lifted off the well a mile underwater in September and taken to a NASA facility outside New Orleans. Investigators are supposed to examine the 300-ton device to determine why it didn't slam shut and stop oil from spewing into the Gulf. Transocean says that as of last week, forensic testing still hadn't started. The Department of Justice has control over the blowout preventer as evidence in a wide-ranging federal investigation into what caused the country's largest oil spill.

Prenatal illness and subtypes of schizophrenia: the winter pregnancy phenomenon. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10866026 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Seasonality of birth patterns is examined among a sample of 801 patients with schizophrenia separated into Type I and Type II schizophrenia. Findings indicate that both groups of patients were in utero during the winter but during different trimesters. Patients with Type I schizophrenia were more likely to be in utero during the third trimester. Patients with Type II schizophrenia were more likely to have been in the womb during the first trimester. Implications for fetal brain development are discussed. |

Wichita City Council approves jail fees
People arrested by Wichita police and taken to jail on municipal offenses would pay for their jail cell if they are convicted under a proposal given preliminary approval.
The Wichita City Council voted 5-0 to approve the fee Tuesday after no discussion. Mayor Carl Brewer and council member Pete Meitzner were out of town. Final approval is expected next week after the ordinance change is heard for a required second time.
The city would charge $2 per hour spent in the Sedgwick County Jail. It's an effort to recoup costs; the county charges the city $2.09 per hour for people jailed on municipal charges. The city also would charge a booking fee of $10.
A person found not guilty wouldn't be required to pay the fees.
All municipal court cases involve misdemeanors. Such municipal charges as battery, domestic violence, driving under the influence, and drug charges could bring jail time.
City officials estimate they would collect only 20 percent of assessed jail fees in the first year.
Although that collection rate is low, it still translates to less money that "has to be paid by the general fund," Municipal Court Administrator Donte Martin said after the meeting.
The city has struggled to pay its jail fees since the county began them in 2008. Through July, the city has paid more than $1.3 million in jail feels to the county this year.
Defense attorneys have questioned the fees, saying they are self-defeating because someone in jail would have a hard time paying additional costs.
Topeka and Overland Park also charge jail fees.
Overland Park has been assessing jail fees since 1997, when the state law first allowed it. The city's collection rate for jail fees was 39 percent in 2009 and 31 percent last year.
"It's kind of followed the economy," Overland Park Municipal Court administrator Robin Barnard said. "People who didn't have money before really don't have it now."
She said that rate could dip to 27 percent in 2011.
Topeka couldn't provide its collection rate, but Martin said he understood it to be less than 30 percent.
In both Overland Park and Topeka, the judge has the option to waive the jail fees for a defendant.
Wichita's proposed ordinance says the jail fees are mandatory and can't be waived.
Martin said the city is taking a comprehensive look at ways to reduce its jail costs paid to the county.
That includes the police looking at its booking procedures and the city's law department reviewing its diversion program, which keeps people out of jail.

The small intestine plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of sepsis and has been referred to as the "motor" of the systemic inflammatory response. One proposed mechanism is that toxic gut-derived lipid factors, transported in mesenteric lymph, induce systemic injury and distant organ failure. However, the pathways involved are yet to be defined and the role of intestinal chylomicron assembly and secretion in transporting these lipid factors is unknown. Here we studied the outcome of sepsis in mice with conditional, intestine-specific deletion of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (Mttp-IKO), which exhibit a block in chylomicron assembly together with lipid malabsorption.
Mttp-IKO mice and controls underwent intratracheal injection with either Pseudomonas aeruginosa or sterile saline. Mttp-IKO mice exhibited decreased seven-day mortality, with 0/20 (0%) dying compared to 5/17 (29%) control mice (p<0.05). This survival advantage in Mttp-IKO mice, however, was not associated with improvements in pulmonary bacterial clearance or neutrophil infiltration. Rather, Mttp-IKO mice exhibited protection against sepsis-associated decreases in villus length and intestinal proliferation and were also protected against increased intestinal apoptosis, both central features in control septic mice. Serum IL-6 levels, a major predictor of mortality in human and mouse models of sepsis, were elevated 8-fold in septic control mice but remained unaltered in septic Mttp-IKO mice. Serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were reduced in septic control mice but were increased in septic Mttp-IKO mice. The decreased levels of HDL were associated with decreased hepatic expression of apolipoprotein A1 in septic control mice.
These studies suggest that strategies directed at blocking intestinal chylomicron secretion may attenuate the progression and improve the outcome of sepsis through effects mediated by metabolic and physiological adaptations in both intestinal and hepatic lipid flux.
