As you're probably all aware, I've spent most of the last couple of months writing a book on HDR photography. Fortunately, the end is now in sight: I've written 41.5K words and have about 5K to go, so it will definitely be done by the end of this week. All of which is good news, because a) it's due on Friday, and b) I'm mightily bored with writing now :) The good news though is that I'm heading out to Dubai again on the 23rd - and will be out their for just over two weeks - so all being well I should have quite a bit of new stuff to post soon.
Anyway, as I haven't posted anything in ages I took my G9 to the park this afternoon - along with our four youngest and their scooters - and while I didn't get any shots of them I liked, I did manage to snap this duck.

Some update pics... the lats are finally filling in!
Hey man you look good. You're making great progress.
Question, do you know if you have a mild case of gyno? It looks like in your front dbl bi that you might have it. My chest is similar to the way yours does. I think I may have a mild case of gyno.
Fighters are teh bomb -Getfit
Test is test is test is test. It'll all bloat you the same! -BCC
Looking good. Seems like you need to work on your bicep poses though. Are you sure your only 15% bf? You look like you may be a little more. Maybe 18-22%.

Thanks dan and snatch! Yea my posing sucks, and the bodyfat is definately up there. I haven't stopped to cut since about 175lbs, so its no suprise.
I do have gyno fighter, I've had it since I was 12 I'll get it removed some day.

Nice progress man your lats are definetly looking much better. I thought you were on a cut now though?
Hard it is, to cut.Originally Posted by method115
Stop eating, one must.
Don't ask for a lighter load. Ask for a stronger back.
Looking bigger man, but as stated before you really need to work on your poses. In the front and back double bicep's lower your arms so they are perpendicular with your body instead of at a 45 degree upward angle. Then spread your lats as you flex your arms, and everything else.

Cutting sucks, I'd rather wait till I have alot of muscle to show off.
Thanks guys, I appreciate any posing advice I can get!

Hi everyone, a bit of a weird one yesterday. I was playing Angry Birds Star Wars (fantastic game and great reboot btw) and as I exited the app using the back button, the phone seemed to freeze then immediately went into restart. Everything seemed fine after the restart, but when I opened ABSW it was like the game was on a fresh install. Game save with 100+ stars complete was completely missing. All my achievements are there, but the game showed no progress.
Has this happened to anyone before? Am I S.O.L. on regaining my progress or is there something for me to try? My guess is the game save file may have corrupted when the OS crashed, but what do I know... Lumia 920 btw. -
No, but for some reason a couple days after buying it, Angry Birds SW refused to open at all. I had to delete the app and reinstall, losing my saved data along the way. Luckily I was only a couple days in so I hadn't got too far, but that was frustrating and odd.

Pipe-soil interactions during backfill placement
Abstract (Summary)
This dissertation documents a study of installation practices for buried pipe. Current practice was reviewed via the literature and surveys of users, manufacturers and others actively involved in the use of buried pipe. Typical backfill materials were characterized through standard and variable effort compaction tests, CBR tests, penetration tests, and one-dimensional compression tests. Standard classification systems were compared and standard groups of backfill materials were evaluated. The soil properties that were used to develop the AASHTO SIDD designs are proposed for use as standard properties for all types of pipe. The constrained modulus, M$\sb{\rm s}$, is proposed as the standard measure of soil stiffness replacing the empirical modulus of soil reaction, E$\sp\prime$. Laboratory soil box tests and full scale field tests were conducted to investigate soil behavior during installation. Variables included pipe type and size, in situ soil condition, trench width, backfill type, compactive effort, haunching effort, and bedding condition. The tests show that all of the backfill related test variables have a significant effect on pipe behavior. Tests with controlled low strength material show that this is an excellent type of backfill. Computer modeling demonstrated that finite element analysis can effectively model installation effects as well as effects of fill over the pipe. The elastic solution for behavior of a buried pipe, developed by Burns and Richard shows promise as a basis for a simplified design method. Recommendations for future practice include the use of soft bedding under the bottom of the pipe, and uncompacted backfill directly over the top of the pipe. Selection of trench width must consider the ability to place and compact backfill in the haunch zone and at the sides of the pipe. Hand tampers, sized differently for different types of backfill, were shown to be useful for providing haunching effort. It was shown that relatively small changes in backfill density can have significant effects on backfill stiffness. The project shows that pipe performance is controlled by installation practices. Proper implementation of a design process that realistically assess how a project will be built, and construction that understands and implements the design assumptions is imperative for successful long-term pipe performance.

Title: | Periodic orbits in symplectic geometry and the Weinstein Conjecture |
Seminar: | Department of Mathematics Colloquium |
Speaker: | Helmut Hofer, Courant Institute |
Abstract: | |
Periodic orbits for Hamiltonian systems play a particular role in symplectic geometry. For example, they carry the obstructions for symplectic rigidity phenomena. The Weinstein conjecture from 1978 states that under certain geometric assumptions an autonomous Hamiltonian system constrained to a compact regular energy surface should have at least one periodic orbit. In 1993 Hofer related the problem to holomorphic curve theory which lead to a large number of situations in which the Weinstein conjecture could be established. The conjecture was recently settled in dimension three by C. Taubes. The method is however very particular since it relates the holomorphic curve approach to Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology, which is a 3-manifold invariant for which no generalization to higher dimensions is known. The general conjecture in higher dimensions is wide open, though one knows it is related to Gromov-Witten theory and Floer theory, which however only touch certain aspects of the conjecture. |

Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick Avon Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner Review and Swatches
Hey kids.
You're getting two reviews for the price of one today.
I rounded up both the Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick and the new Avon Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner and had a little play with them this week and yesterday morning and I have to say at this price, they are so worth a haul. $4.99 for a color rich lipstick with an awesome formula?
Hells yes!
Check it!
Lipsticks with a new formula infused with triple Vitamin & Antioxidant Complex enriched with pomegranate and olive leaf for a moisturizing, hydrating finish!
Ok, first off, let's have a look at the Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick. Avon says they are medium coverage lipsticks but I personally call 'em all hecka pigmented. These are full coverage lipstick at its best. Snobby makeup users try to keep your nose out of the air and check these out because if Avon does anything at all good, it would be lipstick.
These have a richly pigmented formula, a cheap as day old chips price tag ('ello $4.99!), and a hydrating, moisturizing finish. I don't like them nearly as much as my favorite Avon 24K formula however they are almost as great. They glide onto lips without a hiccup leaving behind a perfectly pigmented pout with a good hydrating formula that doesn't dry my lips out, feather, or migrate around. A little gloss on top really makes them pop in my humblest.
I tried out two shades which were Rose Shine (deeper brownish rose) and Naturally Perfect (rich brown praline). Both shades are ideal for Fall looks and pair up beautifully with a smoky brown eye look. The shades just pop and give such a warm richness to lips. Like most Avon Lipsticks, I'm very pleased with the formula and great pigmentation. They also sport a SPF 15.
Avon Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner is a lighter version of the lipstick. They dub it a more sheer coverage lipstick that's formulated with collagen to help lips look softer and smoother. Personally I think they have excellent color pay off as well and do not act as any conditioner I've tried, it feels more like a lipstick to me. I tried Rose which comes across as a brighter rosy pink shade.
Where as the lipstick formula excelled I did feel the Lip Conditioner felt a bit waxy and heavier on my lips and not nearly as nice a quality.
Both products merely sport 10 (lipstick) and 5 (conditioner) shade selections. Since I love the lipstick so much I'd love a wider range of colors to choose from, 10 simply isn't enough.
- Anyone looking for a cheap lipstick that performs like a high end one.
- Anyone looking for great Fall shades of lipstick that won't break the bank.
- Anyone who likes color rich lipsticks with affordable price tags.
- Anyone seeking variety (10 shades is a bit limited but not bad either).
- Anyone wanting a lip conditioner with a light, barely there formula (this felt waxy and heavier on my lips than the normal lipstick range).
If you're indulging I give my Muse Approved on the Avon Healthy Makeup Lipstick. They have a quality formula that can't be beat at $4.99 so if you're on a budget do have a look. Those who's taste runs to a bit more high end might want to check one out regardless, as the formula is quite incredible at under $5 bucks. I was less than thrilled on the Lip Conditioner sadly. The formula just wasn't what I was expecting and it felt strange on my lips.
Healthy Makeup Lipstick are definitely Muse Approved!
Available from Avon.

9/29/10 13:15 the Muse:
I thought they had better than medium coverage Pooja ;-D they are hecka pigmented. I didn't taste anything during application. I already reviewed the eyeshadows here: http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2010/09/avon-healthy-makeup-eyeshadow-review-and-swatches.html
great for the price imho ;D
9/29/10 21:30 Stavroula Plag:

phirnaa : 'To turn, go round, revolve, whirl; to circulate; to turn back, to return; to walk, walk about, walk to and fro; to wander, rove, ramble, stroll; to travel; to turn over, to roll'. (Platts p.286)
phernaa : 'To pass (a brush, colour, &c. over, - par ), to colour, whitewash, plaster'. (Platts p.293)
That is, when in separation Jacob's eyes indeed keep turning white, then it's as if he's come into Joseph's cell. The reason is that his eyes, searching and searching, arrived in the cell, and the whiteness of his eyes is spreading whitewash on the walls of the cell. And the spreading of whitewash on the cell, and the eyes' becoming white, share a common condition of movement, and here too the basis for similitude is movement. (60)
== Nazm page 60
In 'spreads' [phirtii hai] there is an iihaam . First, the whiteness [safedii] of the eyes of Yaqub, which spreads on the walls of the cell through ardor for the search for the sight of Hazrat Yusuf. Second, the whitewash [safedii] which is spread on houses for adornment and cleanliness. (59-60)
He says, in prison equipment appeared for the adornment of the beauty of Joseph. That is, the whiteness of Jacob's eyes is spreading over the door and walls. This is a reference to the way weeping and weeping at the thought of Joseph had made Jacob's eyes blind. (107)
The poet says that wherever beauty goes, the radiance of
that place increases.... Where in every direction the mirrors of the eyes
of those eager for sight can be seen, the greatest adornment of beauty is
that those eager for beauty would not leave it under any circumstances.
The word 'too' has increased the force in the verse. In 'spreads' [phirtii
hai] is an iihaam .... First, the whiteness [safedii]
of the eyes of Yaqub... can be seen 'wandering' [phirtii
hai]. Second, whitewash [safedii] is spread [phernaa]
on houses for adornment and cleanliness. (136-37)
This theme too is an example of the inventiveness and elaboration [takalluf] of Ghalib and some of his contemporaries of the later generation. This is exactly what is meant by 'an enchantment of words'. (143)
The story is that Jacob went blind with weeping for the lost Joseph; his eyes turned completely white. Joseph ended up in Egypt, in a dark prison cell, but Jacob's white gaze, wandering everywhere, sought him out even there. No gaze can see for miles, into a foreign country; no gaze can see through thick walls. Yet Jacob's blind gaze somehow can, and does. No gaze can see into a dark cell, yet Jacob's 'white' gaze somehow can and does. Yet does the gaze really 'see'? It 'wanders' all over the cell-- is that 'seeing', or a sign of a deeper mystical insight, or simply a kind of blind restless longing? This is a haunting verse about the love of a parent for a lost child. Compare the haunting {111,4}, in which Jacob's eyes become crevice-work in the cell.
In the first line, we learn that even in prison Joseph didn't abandon his 'chamber-adorning' [;xaanah-aaraa))ii]. This phrase has two possible meanings: first, that he himself was chamber-adorning, meaning that he was so beautiful as to be himself an adornment to any room; or second, that he did chamber-adorning, meaning that he redecorated a room to enhance its beauty.
Both of these possibilities are evoked, and answered, in the second line. Joseph is so irresistibly beautiful that even alone in the darkness he adorns his chamber, and the blind white gaze of Jacob never ceases to wander after him, lovingly and admiringly. And Joseph is also fastidious: he beautifies even his prison cell, so that the whitewash of Jacob's gaze constantly spreads itself [phirnaa] on the walls of his dingy chamber.
The iihaam
would be that when we first hear safedii we think only
of the general 'whiteness' of Jacob's blind eyes; not until we later hear
the verb phirtii hai do we think of its transitive form
phernaa , which can mean 'to pass a brush over, to whitewash'
(see the definition above); then we go back and reinterpret safedii
as 'whitewash', and realize that this more specific sense makes for greater
connection with ;xaanah-aaraa))ii
in the first line.

CAD-game engine approach in developing real-world walkthrough VR application
Shiratuddin, M.F. and Zulkifli, A.N. (2003) CAD-game engine approach in developing real-world walkthrough VR application. Jurnal Informatika, 1 (2).
*No subscription required
The use of 3D Game Engines to create real-world Walkthrough-Virtual Reality (VR) applications is a promising new alternative to currently available commercial VR packages. Although this new solution has been available for almost two years, it is still not well known and used as a serious VR application development tool. This paper describes the framework of developing a usable real-world Walkthrough-VR application utilising a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and a 3D Game Engine. This application is concerned with the establishing of a prototype real-world Walkthrough-VR modeling system utilising CAD and the Game Engine. The integration between the two technologies enables the creation and sharing of a common geometrical database between them. By utilising VR technology, realistic virtual environment (VE) could be created from the CAD models for visualisation and evaluation purposes. The developed prototype can then be introduced to the present computer consumer market whereby its operator is normally the home, office and desktop PC user.

Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: Kathleen M Woodruff, DNP (Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing)Description: This book provides comprehensive information for graduate nursing curriculum incorporating the Master's Essentials of 2012 and the Doctoral Essentials of 2006. This second edition was created in response to the evolution of the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's (AACN) recently revised Essentials of Master's Education for Advanced Practice Nursing (2011).
Purpose: The purpose is to provide comprehensive information on the core curriculum content requirements of the MSN and DNP Essentials. Due to program credit limits, it may be important to incorporate these role competencies and broad content areas in courses for all advanced practice nursing roles. The authors do an excellent job in achieving their goals.
Audience: The audience includes nurses in a variety of advanced practice nursing roles, including nurse executives, nurse educators, and entrepreneurs, as well as nurses providing direct clinical care. The editors have done an excellent job of compiling selected chapters from existing books in the Jones & Bartlett Learning collection to create a unique reference that allowed experts in each of the areas to be included in the final work.
Features: The book is organized into six sections that should be addressed in order: professional roles for the advanced practice nurse; healthcare delivery system and health policy for advanced practice core knowledge; quality, safety, and information systems for advanced practice; theoretical foundations, research, and evidence-based practice; the role of race, culture, ethics, and advocacy in advanced practice nursing; and leadership and role transition for advanced practice nurses. The book also presents current changes in the national healthcare agenda and how this will affect advanced practice nurses.
Assessment: The goal of this resource is to provide core knowledge that all nurses in advanced practice roles require regardless of their specialty. It is expected that graduate nurses will continue to grow their practice and roles as they enter into their specialty areas. The book draws from the editors' extensive experience. The book also clarifies the terminology of advanced practice nursing as any nurse who holds a master's degree or higher in nursing and whose role influences the healthcare outcomes for individuals or populations either through direct patient care, management, healthcare organizations, or health policy. This revised edition is essential due to the changes occurring in healthcare in the United States.

The aim of the study is to investigate pressure lowering effect of two surgical methods canaloplasty and trabeculectomy in patients with open angle glaucoma, in which under local pressure lowering therapy the progression of the disease could not be stopped, and thus a pressure lowering surgical intervention is necessary. The risks in the postoperative course in Canaloplasty in the literature as lower than for the trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C. Conversely, large glaucoma centers questioning the effectiveness of permanent pressure lowering of canaloplasty. Precisely this question is investigated in the study.

Just something funny from back in the day. That's all. "Eyeshot! Oh!" "I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918) |
That's when I quit, when everyone I played with dissapeared into the holocron grind. I had played Everquest previously and I understood what this behavior was and how I didn't want to partake in it: Grinding. I could see the writing on the wall long before the CU. |
The early days of the game were fun. But when we found out about how to unlock Jedi and everyone went holocron crazy, the entire game became all about unlocking. Of course that went away with the NGE, but so did so much more along with it. |

Never understood the obsession with the hologrind, I've always thought the non-Jedi characters of SW were the most insteresting. Had the devs spent more time on getting things like content, vehicles (and maybe space) in the game at launch than on the Jedi system they might not have had some of the retention problems they had. |
I was perfectly fine with my Creature Handler and Bio Engineer. Sure... He wasn't top dog of PvP but he had some of the coolest bio-engineered pets. One of the only games I know where the players crafted the mounts. The looks and abilities of the mount were dependent on the crafter's skill and rare materials (DNA) used. Likely will never see a crafter/mount/pet system like this ever again in MMOs to come. |
Originally posted by djmtott I never understood why no one else is bothered by the simple fact that they went through an entire year lying to us that there was a way to unlock Jedi which didn't actually come into the game until that hologrind, that was my main problem with them is being lied to with constant interviews stating there was some "secret" way to unlock jedi but they just wouldn't tell anyone how to do it that bothers me way more than the implementation when it finally came. |
Originally posted by Nerf09 Yep, I quit when the Holocron grind was revealed. What a joke. Granted, I was never very happy as I stuck with Pistoleer/Smuggler from day one and was pretty much always completely awful and buggy and broken. The fact that both Bounty Hunters AND Commando's had better pistols and could use pistols better then a profession called "Pistoleer" was just.... terrible. Smuggler was always 100% useless too at that point. I've probably been lurking for way, way too long. |
Originally posted by BadSpock Very funny video. Pistoleer was fun, great defense. My favorite was TKM/Doc funny thing is I never did a buff line like the rest. I was Mainly Doc for the heals, with TKM you could solo dragons and all other elites. I did some grinding holos but got bored with it, I mainly was into farming at this time, I would either farm for crystals at the Fort or farm Holos. Made millions selling both to the Jedi grinders. Haha now I think about it I was farming holos in the beginning and then at the end of the game. I guess I was lucky, never wasted much time with the holo grind, but I made Jedi early CU because of the few I did grind. I still dont know why they still had a grind CU. It took them years to figure out they where burning out thier playerbase. Buggs aside, the Jedi grind was a terrible mistake that killed the game. They should have made it a starter CU, since xp grinding with spin groups was so fun and quick the problem might have been solved, in a month everyone would have had Jedi. Then people said then thier would be a problem with too many. I found that Jedi was fun back then but I played my other proffesions just as much as my Jedi. Sure thier would be alot of Jedi but the game still would have had a playerbase of 200k, instead it slowly died a little each year until it wasnt enough of a profit margin for SOE to keep it going. |
Originally posted by BadSpock Master ranger was broken too, ranger camps looked pretty but served no useful function like loweirng mind fatiuge while in one, but it was still fun. I was one of the most gimp characters around but my animal hides were the most valuable to sell to other players, also running around with mask scent allowed me to ninja put down thumpers in many spots. |
Originally posted by BullseyeArc1 The jedi grind also destroyed the economy, most players were grinding up crafting professions just dumping crap on the auction houses everywhere at dirt low prices. |
Originally posted by BadSpock If it makes you feel just a tiny bit better, for us Commandos, the Launcher Pistol was useless in the Pre-NGE days. Between the Launcher Pistol, Flamethrower, and all our consumeables: Rocket Launcher, Particle Beam Cannon, Acid Launcher, and various grenades... the only reliable weapon was the Flamethrower. Everything was horribly inaccurate for them to be consumeables. We even had big-name Weaponsmiths on Ahazi experiment with different build processes to make them useful, but they all failed. Though in PvP, if the Rocket Launcher DID hit in that 1 / 100 chance, it was spectacular explosion and an insta-kill "I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."

Originally posted by Nerf09 Sure didn't affect me any as an armorsmith/chef at the time. I made a ton during the hologrind, people were always looking for good armor and food. I can not think of any class it affected, a good grinder rarely made a finished product as sub components were where the exp was other than maybe architect with the big gungan heads. The garbage and poor grinders made finished products but who bought them? No one I know as most bought the good stuff. Sure stuff popped up, but it was half the stats of a crafter who had the good materials. www.ozumgames.com |
Originally posted by raistlinm That is not accurate actually. Some of us unlocked without using one holocron and before the real craze hit actually. Now, granted we were all Pre-9 and some of the rules then didnt work. We had perma death, - which in case you didnt know sucked ass with all the server issues on Bria - trust me I know I lost a toon dur to me pushing it and getting discoed on freaking Endor fighting spiders which sucked.... So while they didnt say exactly or how some of us did it... also the one hang up, was visibility... WE NEVER knew what that was about until they explained it. That was pretty much a huge issue for us all back then. We had no idea really that your own friends in a party gave you visibility was of course was a flawed concept. None the less, I think it was messed up telling anyone anything. I think it should have been capped, I think it should have been random and I think it should have not been so corrupt. When people got caught exploiting Points for Jedi Rank - is when you knew the system had some issues. Concept was good system was broken. None the less I am thankful for the early unlock and all the memories and screen shots from it. The Knight trials were fun and so was the PVP once you were made overt 24/7 I did like the idea of risk vs reward but it seems too many people cried like babies and needed to ruin that experience. Oh well... |
lol here ya go... Whats left from this? lol |
Originally posted by Nerf09 I had a LOT of fun with my guild PVP raids, RP events and everything that came with it. then our guildleader went on a hologrind, wasnt seen in any social event with the guild anymore untill he unlocked jedi. The moment he did that he came back and told the rest the hologrind wasnt really good for the social atmosphere of the guild. right. After that, everyone went on the infamous hologrind and the first nail in SWG's coffin was created. "going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win" |
In my opinion, a Jedi should not have been more powerful than a 'force-enabled' regular player. Afterall, many characters from the Starwars series seemed to have the luck and intuition of a jedi without weilding a lightsaber. The reason why I was ok with the hologrind was because the alternative was to create an elaborate quest system or a ridiculously dreary practice-lightsaber grind. At least the hologrind allowed players to enjoy the various aspects of the game and also ate up some in-game resources to help combat inflation. I quit around the CU. I was never impressed by the huge amount of time that developers spent on the force village and the jedi professions. I would have rather seen improvements to the bulk of the game. Play as your fav retro characters: cnd-online.net. My site: www.lysle.net. Blog: creatingaworld.blogspot.com. |
I was remembering a feature of SWG that I haven't seen in another game( it may be I just haven't seen it). You guys remember in pvp how you could incap someone, but you could finish them off beyond the incap (DB)? |
Great video. Reminds me of how much fun I had and how silly it all was. |

Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Worshippers at church services across the Netherlands prayed Sunday for the victims of the Ukraine air disaster and their next of kin, as anger built over the separatist rebels' hindering of the investigation into the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
The chairman of the Dutch Bishops Conference, Cardinal Wim Eijk, called on church-goers to "pray for strength and courage for the relatives" at services.
Amid the grieving, Prime Minister Mark Rutte is pushing for Russian President Vladimir Putin to use his influence over the rebels in eastern Ukraine to ensure a full investigation into the tragedy that killed 298 passengers and crew, including 193 Dutch citizens.
Rutte angrily condemned the rebels Saturday evening for interfering with the wreckage and bodies in Ukraine.
"This is totally disgusting. It is also serious because it undermines the investigation," he said.
Rutte called Vladimir Putin on Saturday and had what he described as "an extremely intense telephone conversation" with the Russian president in which he urged him to exert his influence over the rebels and ensure there is a thorough, independent international investigation.
"I told him the time is running out to quickly show the world that he intends to help," Rutte said. "He must take the responsibility now with the rebels and show the Netherlands and the world that he is doing what is expected of him."
Best-selling Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf went further in a front-page appeal for decisive action to protect the crash site.
Under the Dutch headline, "Enough is enough," the paper called for NATO troops to be deployed in Ukraine to secure the wreckage and bodies in eastern Ukraine.
"At the same time, special forces must be deployed to track down the perpetrators of this mass murder and bring them to the Netherlands to face justice."
Also Sunday, the chief executive officer of Malaysia Airlines, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, arrived in the Netherlands and signed a condolence book at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport for victims of the crash.
The airline also announced it was "retiring" the flight code 17 of its Amsterdam-to-Kuala Lumpur flights "out of respect for our crew and passengers of the mentioned flight code" and replacing it from July 25 with the flight code 19.

Missouri sophomore Ben Askren has 19 falls this season, a new Missouri record. He was after his 20th on Sunday, when the Tigers faced Iowa State at Hearnes Center.
He didn't quite get it, and Missouri fell to the No. 2 Cyclones 18-15 before a crowd of 1,063.
With Missouri trailing by two points, No. 2 Askren squared off with No. 13 Nick Passolano at 174 pounds.
Askren prevailed with an 8-2 victory to improve to 28-1 on the season. His win gave the Tigers a temporary 15-14 lead headed into the final match.
Askren's match contained a bit of controversy, though. The Missouri bench felt Askren had Passolano pinned in the first period.
"We thought it was a fall, the ref didn't," Smith said. "We needed it, we knew we could have pretty much won the dual or at least it would have been a tie. It's just something that we really needed and Ben was going after it. It was close, but if the referee doesn't think it is, then it isn't."
With the Tigers (13-6, 0-4 Big 12 Conference) only getting three points for the win instead of six for a pin, the meet's result came down to sophomore Matt Pell.
"I was just trying to relax (before the match)," Pell said. "There was a lot of hype and the crowd was going nuts. Whoever won the match, won the dual. I just tried to stay relaxed, it's tough though."
No. 10 Pell fell 11-2, managing only two escapes. His opponent, No. 2 Kurt Backes, scored four takedowns for Iowa State (16-1, 2-1 Big 12). Missouri saw its lead disappear—for good.
"(Backes) wrestled really tough tonight," Smith said. "I've seen Backes a little bit on film and he's been wrestling very, very well. That's the best I've seen him wrestle, and unfortunately it was against us. He's looking good, there's a reason he's second in the country right now."
Junior Jeff Foust started the Tigers in the right direction, with an intense 6-5 victory in the 197-pound match. Despite feeling ill, No. 20 Foust defeated No. 19 Trevor Smith.
After Foust jumped out to a 4-0 lead through two periods, Smith scored five straight points. But Foust scored a reversal with 40 seconds left.
"I just needed a win, it was really important," Foust said.
Smith agreed.
"Finally, Foust got out of a rut there and beat somebody, which was important going into the Big 12s," Smith said.
Redshirt freshman Tyler McCormick (133) and No. 18 Cody Greene (149) earned early wins for Missouri.
"We definitely needed those matches and they came through," Smith said. "Tyler has been consistent all year. He does what he has to and gets the wins. I think that got him the second or third seed in conference, which is important."
After No. 15 Brad Cieleski lost to No. 5 Trent Paulson 8-2 in the 157-pound match, Missouri trailed 14-9 with only three matches left.
But Paulson's twin brother, Travis, didn't fare as well in his 165-pound match with No. 8 Tyron Woodley.
Travis Paulson, ranked No. 5 coming into the match, was upset 6-2. With the win, Woodley improved to 18-1 in duals and 7-1 against conference opponents.
"Woodley's on a roll right now, that kid was ranked really high," Smith said. "It's good to see him wrestle like that, with explosiveness, and going after it early and continuing the whole match."
"It felt pretty good," Woodley said. "The win was big for me, I would have really liked to celebrate the whole team victory, but it will peak at the end of the year and I think we'll pull together and guys will step up and we'll do well at nationals."
The Tigers will attempt to right their ship in their final dual meet of the season on Wednesday, when they host Chattanooga at 6 p.m.
Chattanooga defeated the Tigers earlier this season, and the rematch is highly anticipated.

FOREWORD The Incident Anti-Ahmadi riots took place in the second week of April 1989 at Nankana Sahib and some adjoining villages. A statement made in this regard by a spokesman of the Ahmadis on April 15 is at Annexure "A". The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan constituted a mission to visit the scene of occurrence and to ascertain facts. The report compiled by the mission was sent on May 29 to the Chief Secretary, Government of Punjab, and his comments requested by June 19 (Annexure "B"). As no comments have been received, the report is being published as compiled originally. Dr. Mubashar Hassan, a member of the mission that visited Nankana Sahib, gave a statement on June 3 saying that the Punjab Government had totally failed to protect the weaker sections of society, and the anti-Ahmadi riot at Nankana Sahib was a case in point (Annexure "C"). On June 5, a spokesman of the Punjab Government described Dr. Mubashar Hassan's statement as baseless and misleading (Annexure "D"). The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan felt obliged to comment on the June 5 statement made by a spokesman of the Government of Punjab. This was done through a Press Release on June 7 (Annexure "E"). Background A team of the International Commission of Jurists visited Pakistan in April 1987 to assess the state of Human Rights in Pakistan after the lifting of Martial Law. Among other matters, it also studied the situation of the Ahmadis in Pakistan. Some of their observations are reproduced below as they appear relevant to the subject of this report. "The Ahmadis have suffered a relentless decline in their religious freedom." "While there are public order concerns arising out of the hostility of some Muslims to Ahmadis, these are not being instigated by Ahmadis. On the contrary they are suffering violence both to their person and places of worship with no serious attempt being made to afford them protection." "The Government appears to be either ignoring unprovoked attacks on Ahmadi places of worship or allowing public order to be used as a pretext for stopping acts of worship." "A number of Ahmadi mosques have also been sealed up on the instructions of local officials." "It is not clear why the state should be justified in backing the refusal of some Muslims to tolerate the religious practices of others anymore than it would be in supporting an assailant against the victim." "Ahmadis are now effectively disenfranchised." "There are undoubtedly substantial doctrinal differences between the Ahmadiyya and other Muslim sects but the recognition of Islam as the state religion and maintenance of public order do not require the persecution which the Ahmadis are currently enduring. The Government should, therefore, reverse the measures which it has been taking against the Ahmadi community and take steps to ensure that they do not suffer unlawful discrimination or attacks on their person and places of worship." Annexure "A" Concern over attack on Ahmadiya members LAHORE – Jammat Ahmadiya Lahore Secretary, Raja Ghalib Ahmed, has expressed strong resentment over recent incidents of attacks on members of Ahmadiya community in the districts of Shekhupura and Faisalabad. Addressing a Press conference at a local hotel on Friday, Raja Ghalib demanded that both the Federal and the Punjab governments conduct impartial inquiries into these incidents and make public "the conspiracy behind the whole drama." He said that riot against the Ahmadi community had started when some miscreants started announcing on loudspeakers in Gujranwala on April 9 that a copy of the Holy Quran had been burnt in an Ahmadiya prayer centre. He observed that these miscreants later proceeded to the Ahmadiya prayer centre and burnt to ashes all the houses and stores belonging to Ahmadis. Two similar incidents, Raja Ghalib said, later took place on Nankana prayer centre of Ahmedis on April 11 and 12 where all the houses belonging to Ahmadis were either demolished or burnt after looting. He said that all this happened in the presence of local police authorities. He said that three places of worship and 50 houses were burnt or damaged and more than 15 Ahmadis were seriously injured during these incidents. Annexure "B" LAHORE To, The Chief Secretary SUBJECT: Anti-Ahmadia Riots at Nankana Sahib April 1989. Dear Sir, Prior to its finalisation, a report on the Anti-Ahmadia Riots at Nankana Sahib, prepared by the commission, is enclosed for your comments. I should be grateful if you will let us have your comments by June 19, soon after which we propose to release the report. Thanking you. Yours truly,
Annexure "C" Alleged violence against Ahmadis criticised LAHORE, June 3: Dr. Mubashar Hassan, former Finance Minister, has said that the Punjab Government has totally failed to protect the weaker sections of society. In a statement issued here on Friday, he alleged that the administration of District Sheikhupura was guilty of becoming a party to the preparation of violence against members of the Ahmadi community and against industrial labour. Dr. Hassan said that on April 12, 26 houses of Ahmadis were broken into, damaged and their contents put to fire, resulting in the caving in of roofs in several cases. Damage of more than Rs. 3 million was inflicted, he added. Some attacks were carried out under the protection of the police and the duty magistrates, he said. The attacks were pre-planned and organised, taking place simultaneously in separate localities, conducted by men equipped with inflammable material and incendiary devices. He urged all patriotic political parties to raise voice against patronising anti-social elements who were responsible for such incidents. --PPI Annexure "D" Mubashar's statement baseless LAHORE June 5: A spokesman for the Punjab Government has described the observation of former Federal Finance Minister Dr. Mubashar Hassan about the failure of Punjab Government to protect the weaker section of the society like Ahmadia community as baseless and misleading. The Punjab Government, the spokesman said, had been providing all possible care, encouragement and assistance to all minority communities and they were all enjoying full rights of citizenship and participating in community life and national affairs actively. According to a national decision and provisions of the Constitution and law, Ahmadis were a minority community and if they accept this position no untoward situation would arise even locally, the spokesman added. Commenting on June 1 incident on Lahore-Sheikhupura Road, the spokesman said that an enquiry was already under way. --PPI Annexure "E" LAHORE PRESS RELEASE THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION OF PAKISTAN HAS NOTED WITH CONCERN THE STATEMENT MADE BY A SPOKESMAN OF THE GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB DENYING THE REPORT OF HRCP ON THE ANTI-AHMADI RIOTS AT NANKANA SAHIB. THE STATEMENT PUBLISHED ON 6.6.89 NOT ONLY DENIED ALLEGATIONS MADE BY HRCP REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE INACTION BUT ALSO JUSTIFIED THE RIOT ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE AHMADIA COMMUNITY DESERVED SUCH VIOLENCE AS THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT A MINORITY STATUS. HRCP BELIEVES THAT REGARDLESS OF THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL STATUS OF CITIZENS, THE STATE IS BOUND TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS. THE CONSTITUTION OF PAKISTAN GUARANTEES EQUAL TREATMENT IN LAW, PROTECTION TO LIFE, PROPERTY AND LIBERTY OF EACH CITIZEN. THE STATE CANNOT BE PERMITTED TO DISCRIMINATE AMONGST CITIZENS ON THE BASIS OF BELIEF. GOVERNMENTS ARE DUTY BOUND TO PROTECT EVERY CITIZEN PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE VICTIMISED BECAUSE OF THEIR BELIEF, SEX OR CREED. THE COMMISSION HAS DEMANDED THAT THE GOVERNMENT SET UP A JUDICIAL ENQUIRY INTO THE HAPPENINGS AT NANKANA SAHIB. ALL MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO DISCOURAGE CRIMINAL ACTION RATHER THAN ENCOURAGE IT AND JUSTIFY IT. (ASMA JAHANGIR) REPORT ON ANTI-AHMADIA In the second week of March the Press in Pakistan reported incidents of assault and arson by mobs incensed at the news of the alleged burning of a copy of the Holy Quran. The houses of Ahmadia Community at Nankana Sahib and Adjoining villages, 60-70 miles to the West of Lahore, were the target. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan taking .congnizance of the press reports and appeals from some members of the Ahmadia community constituted a mission to visit the scene of occurrence. The mission visited Nankana Sahib and Chak No. 563 GB on April 16, 1989 to ascertain facts and to see the damage done. The mission comprised Mrs. Alys Faiz, Dr. Mubashar Hassan, Begum Mehnaz Rafi, Ms. Shahtaj Qizalbash, Mr. Mahmood Zaman, Syed Imtiaz Shah, Advocate, and Mr. Azhar jafri. The mission visited the sites, taped evidence and interviewed local authorities. At Nankana Sahib the first stop was the house of Dr. Abdul Rehman where leaders of the town's jamat-e-Ahmedia, Malik Saleem Latif, Advocate, President of the jamat in Nankana Sahib, and Mirza Altaf-ur-Rehman Advocate gave a detailed account of the happenings on April 12, 1989. Malik Altaf Advocate stated that at about 4.40 p.m. on April 11 there was an announcement from a nearby Mosque's loudspeaker that the Qadianis had burnt Quran Sharif in Chak 563 CB. It was a challenge to the faith of every Muslim who will have to show that he was capable of defending his faith. It was also announced that a strike would be observed and a procession taken out the next day. Malik Altaf said that as they had some indication that trouble was brewing, grave apprehensions arose in their mind. So they immediately tried to contact the Station House Officer of the Police (SHO) and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mohammad Aslam Khan Lohdi (DSP), as well as the resident magistrates and the Asstt: Commissioner (A.C.), Ch. Ghulam Sarwar. It was the time of dusk prayers. They were told that the SHO and DSP were out of station. One resident magistrate was on leave and the other resident magistrate and the A.C. had gone for a walk. They made a second contact with the A.C. by waiting three hours outside his house. At that time the A.C. was back home but passed on a message that he would give an audience to them the next morning i.e. on April 12. Malik Altaf continued that on April 12 the members of the community contacted the A.C. telephonically who assured them that they should not feel apprehensive as the government had made adequate arrangements to ensure their security. The A.C. also said that the situation was not grave. Later they contacted the DSP who extended similar assurances. He also told them that the local police had adequately been reinforced from The District Head-quarters, Sheikhupura. On being so assured the community felt satisfied. Following Malik Altaf, Mirza Altaf-ur-Rehman and others described in detail the destruction and narrated sequences of arson by violent mobs which went on rampage unhindered and unchecked using abusive language and raising slogans against the Ahmadis. The members of the Ahmadi community bitterly complained that no effort whatso-ever was made by the police accompanying the mob to offer protection to the Ahmadis. Malik Saleem Latif stated that the violent procession that had formed at Ghalla Mandi, first damaged the place of worship of the Ahmadis and desecrated Quranic inscriptions considered holy by them. His own house, adjacent to the place of worship, was also attacked. He said that the rampage continued for about seven hours during which 25-27 houses and shops and clinics of Ahmadis were set on fire or grossly damaged. The mob also burnt several copies of the Holy Quran in the prayer centre and in the houses of Ahmadis. They burnt expensive libraries at the residence of Mirza Altaf-ur-Rehman and Malik Saleem Latif. Dr. Abdul Rehman's clinic and his house were badly damaged. Some of the portions of the house were demolished. His tenant, Mohammad Ayub Qamar, had a similar experience when most of the belongings of his house were reduced to ashes. The mission also visited Chatthhi Gali in old Nankana Sahib, which was the worst affected area. There the houses belonging to Abdul Rehman, Ghulam Mohammad and Mohammad Afzal had been set on fire. The roofs of these houses had caved in. In the street the mission saw the remains of burnt down refrigerators, television sets and other electronic gadgets. Similarly clothes, utensils and toys of children were heaped out in the street and set on fire. Abdul Rehman told members of the mission that he had lost about 400 grams of gold which he had kept at his home as dowry for a daughter who was to be married shortly. He said that the assailants had brought blackish inflammable material with which they used to set on fire the belongings and houses of Ahmadis. He also showed the mission a copy of a burnt Quran and jai-namaz. In the house of Ghulam Mohammad also dowry for his daughter was reduced to ashes. The mission members then visited the residence of Mubashar Ahmad, a small Katcha house. In its courtyard lay the ashes of the burnt articles. He had preserved the copy of a burnt Quran and Tafsir Kabir, a book considered holy by him. The adjacent electronic workshop, owned by him, had been looted. Several T.V. sets, including those in the shop for repair, transistor sets and electrical fittings had been removed by the mob. The shelves of the shop were stripped empty and removed. The mission also saw the newly built house of M. Dawood Ahmad in the Satellite Town. The mob had caused extensive damage to the house. The assailants had taken particular interest in demolishing his expensive bath room. A burqa-clad woman of the house told the mission in tears that seven copies of Quran were burnt by the mob. She showed some of the remains to the members of the mission. Adjacent to the main bus stand was the house of Mirza Altaf-ur-Rehman advocate. The violent mobs had, in addition to doing other damage, razed to the ground 320 feet-long boundry wall of the house. He told the mission that the mob had spent about four hours in destroying his house, all of it in the presence of police. He had seen the DSP handing over to the mob pillows of his bed room for burning. The mission's next stop was at "Kucha Ahmadian", Qazzafi Street, where the damaged prayer centre is situated. The rooms had been demolished and electronic equipment damaged. A library with several copies of Quran had also been burnt down. From Nankana Sahib the mission proceeded to village 563 GB, 6-7 miles away. A magistrate along with a posse of police was stationed in the village to guard the houses of Ahmadis. Most of the houses in the village bore inscriptions in bold letters stating that they were Ahl-e-Sunnat, that is to say not Ahmadis. The mission first went to Ahmadia prayer centre whose outer walls had been demolished and the library burnt down. The magistrate on duty, Mr. Tariq, and SHO Masroor Ahmad told the mission that their information was limited to what the villagers had told them. The magistrate said that a man called Nasir had been burning the pages of Holy Quran. On hearing the report the people became violent and the two sects clashed with each other. After the incident the D.C., SSP and the A.D.C. of Distt: Sheikhupura visited the site and took into possession some burnt pieces of Quran, the SHO added. It was this alleged incident which was stated to be the cause of what had followed. The village is inhabited by 25 Ahmadi families which is about one sixth of the total population. The people appeared tense. Three houses were damaged, including the one where one room was set on fire. In the place of worship, however, the damage was greater. Several copies of Quran were stated to have been burnt and the ashes thrown into the village well to avoid a controversy that the Ahal-e-Sunnat-wul-jamaat had acted in a similar way. The mission was able to interview the only "eye-witness" to the alleged burning by the Ahmadis, named Ghulam Rasool. He said he saw the Imam of the Ahmadi place of worship, Nasir, burning a heap of papers in which pages of the Holy Quran were also found. The mission visited the house of Mohammad Hanif, the doors of which had been broken. He looked terrified and burst into tears on meeting the mission members, who happened to be the first group to meet him after the nightmarish experience. Mohammad Hanif related that he and other Ahmadis of the village had made several requests to Ghulam Rasool not to incite the tense situation to avoid sectarian disturbances, but to no avail. He insisted on communicating the alleged incident to the movement of Khatam-e-Nabuwwat in Nankana Sahib. In the evening there were announcements against Ahmadis from the Ahel-e-Sunnet mosques. Immediately afterwards, a mob gathered there and after damaging the Ahmadi place of worship, attacked the Ahmadi houses. He also heard gun shots. He had thrown his children to the adjacent non-Ahmadi house but the inmates sent the children back out of the fear of the mob. Nearby was the house of Hanif's brother, Mohammad Boota. Its outer walls laid demolished and the doors broken. Most of the Ahmadis had since vacated the village and the rest had confined themselves to their houses. Another house the mission visited in the village (Chak No. 563 GB) was that of Dr. Mohammad Nawaz. His clinic stood demolished and the contents damaged. Some women of the house, profusely in tears, asked the women members of the mission to ensure their safety. Expensive articles had been looted. About a kilometer away from the village was an orchard belonging to Dr. Nawaz. The assailants had cut down over 50 of its trees of Guava, Kinno and Bamboo that the mission was able to see for itself. A tubewell in a village nearby belonging to M/s Siddiq & Silan was damaged, its walls demolished and the pump and the motor uprooted. Back in Nankana Sahib, the mission members called on the Assistant Commissioner, Chaudhry Ghulam Sarwar, the officer incharge of law and order in the Tehsil Nankana Sahib. The officer was frank and forthcoming. He admitted that the district administration did not expect the events that had occurred. It had thought it had sufficient force to deter any trouble mongers. Reinforcement had been called from Sheikhupura. The administration had been in touch with the Tehrik-e-Khatam-e-Nabuwwat. The Tehrik had given categorical assurance to maintain peace and calm. The administration had had several meetings with the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat leadership. To assuage the Tehrik, the government had added to the FIR the charge of Tauheen-i-Risalat against Ahmadis, though no such offence had taken place. As a further precaution the Nankana Sahib administration had been assured that in case the younger elements took out a procession, the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat leaders would also form part of it in order to prevent untoward incidents. The A.C. said, "Despite our satisfaction we had taken all the precautionary steps. We had established police pickets, and were also in possession of necessary anti-riot equipment." But on the ill-fated day (April 12) the administration found itself paralysed by the violent mob. The administration had the services of two magistrates, while the mob had dispersed into many groups all round the town. The A.C. said that at some places the police was ordered to use tear gas and lathi charge the rioting mob. "Now after the event, I feel" said the A.C., "as if the attacks were all pre-planned. They (the leadership) failed to fulfil their commitment not to take part in the anti-Ahmadia riots." Earlier the mission had taken note of a large poster pasted in prominent places. The poster issued by "Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz-e-Khatam-e-Nabuwwat" announced the convening of a "Tajdar Khatam-e-Nabuwwat Conference", on March 29, 1989 at jamia Masjid Ghousia. According to the poster, the conference was to be held under the patronage of Mr. Ghulam Sarwar, the Assistant Commissioner. The names of the Deputy Superintendent of Police and of two magistrates were also mentioned. The poster gave the clear impression *that the civil administration was patronising the local anti-Ahmadia organisations. When confronted the A.C. denied his involvement. A list of Ahmadi households affected by the disturbance, together with an estimate given to us of the loss suffered in each case, is enclosed as an annexure to this report. CONCLUSION Following a day-long visit to various localities and houses subjected to arson, looting and demolition and after listening to the members of the Ahmadia Community and the Assistant Commissioner, the Mission has come to the following conclusions. 1. The incident of alleged burning of some loose sheets of the Holy Quran in the Ahmadia place of worship in Chak 563 GB needs to be investigated by impartial investigators at a high level. 2. The Ahmadia community was subjected to mob violence and unchecked harassment resulting in widespread losses. 3. The pattern of attacks and arson was identical enough to give rise to the suspicion that violence had been done under centralised direction and planning. The usual practice had been that first there was an attack on houses during which doors were broken down, then the electric supply was cut off and later the belongings of the house were piled up either in the courtyard or in the street to be set on fire. Some devices were used to spread inflammable liquid to help the process. 4. The manner in which the violent mob divided into groups and spread itself all over the town indicates that the Ahmadi houses had been well marked in advance. 5. It is fortunate that no bodily injuries to the members of the community were reported. The purpose of the violence seemed to be to terrorise the community, cause damage to its property and to establish the supermacy of the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat organisation and its leadership in the town in total defiance of the law. 6. Ghulam Rasool of Chak No. 563 GB, who claims to be the eye-witness of the alleged burning of the Holy Quran happens to be the first cousin of one of the victims of this village – Dr. Nawaz. It was reported to the mission that there is litigation between the cousins about a land dispute. Whether the fact of alleged bad relations between Ghulam Rasool and Dr. Nawaz played a part in what took place needs to be looked into. 7. Women of non-Ahmedi houses, at first reluctant in answering questions of the members of the mission, said that they tried their best to protect the Ahmadi neighbours but were helpless in the face of the force and intimidatory mood of the mob. 8. The mission is of the opinion that the administration of Nankana Sahib failed in its duty to protect the Ahmadia community at Nankana Sahib and adjoining villages on April 12. Its sympathy and association with Anti-Ahmadi elements was an encouragement to the mob that perpetrated violence. On the day of the occurrence it did not have enough force at its disposal. The two magistrates on duty on the fateful day failed to protect a single Ahmadi house. Further, the plea that the leaders of the Tehrik did not keep their promise shows not only the failure of local intelligence staff but also a grave gullibility on the part of the local administration. In any case, the police was openly Anti-Ahmadi. Its local chief attended a function two days after the event which almost amounted to celebrating the shameful events of April 12. 9. The Punjab government on its part has failed to institute an enquiry and to take action against the administration and also to pay any compensation to the victims. 10. It is recommended that the Government should immediately compensate in full the persons who have suffered losses in this disturbance. An estimate of the losses suffered by various individuals is given in the annexure to this report. ANNEXURE TO HRCP REPORT ON ANTI-AHMADI RIOTS AT NANKANA SAHIB APRIL 1989

Feds unveil home energy score
- Christina Williams, Sustainable Business Oregon
The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday took the wraps off a plan to set a national standard for home energy efficiency and discussed new financing options for homeowners looking to up their efficiency game.
The DOE will work with a number of national organizations through the middle of 2011 to test its Home Energy Score program. Portland is one of 10 testing locations. Energy Trust of Oregon will choose 200 program participants, with scoring due to be complete in 2011.
The DOE intends to use the Home Energy Score as a quick way for people to understand how their home's energy performance compares to others. The score will be based on 45 data points collected by an auditor trained in energy assessments. Details about the methodology are available on the DOE website.
In reporting the news, USA Today described the new home energy gauge as a "miles-per-gallon sticker" for homes, a term used by Portland-based Earth Advantage Institute for its Energy Performance Score.
Earth Advantage Institute has been working behind the scenes to help the DOE establish a national Home Energy Score, providing detailed information about the nonprofit green building organization's own methodology for energy scoring. EAI has received federal funding for a 5,000 pilot project in Seattle to test technical tools related to home energy scoring.
"It's a statistical comparison," said Sean Penrith, executive director at Earth Advantage, describing the DOE's Home Energy Score. "The Energy Performance Score is a technical measure."
Penrith said that the DOE settled on the simpler score to test as a national standard because it allowed for more affordable audits. He expects the two metrics to operate in a complementary fashion.

Could improve more
This is a good app, I used to use Mathcad on Window, but when I switch to Mac, I find here really can not find any samiler software like Mathcad.
However, I found this one. Easy to use and clearly and friendly UI design. I can say, this software worth $10!!!
But, here still something could improve, hope developer could improve this.
the output file is not vector PDF file, only the text part is vector file, but variable part are not. Most of time, I need vector PDF file for latex, that maybe better if output file could be a vector file.
I think our team could improve more. However, back to what I said, this is a good app. Worth to buy it !!!
Great app!!
I am engineering student and have used this primarily for the calculations for my homework for 3 and 1/2 years now. It has been fantastic never had any problems. Copying and pasting previously typed equations is a nice feature as well as the derivatives and integrals. Matrices a big plus. Besides the graphing feature my TI-84 has (which I have to use in class unfortunately), this calculator is the best. The logic even works nicely for using variables. At least 5 people have purchased from how easily they see me using it.
If you don't have a calculator
Not to say that this is a bad app, but for doing the usual calculations a calculator is much faster. As for doing derivatives, it's easier to just use Wolfram Alpha on the internet, which both solves complex derivatives and such and shows you how it did so, or, for exact values, just use the "calc" option on a graphing calculator. The matrices option is nice, but I doubt many people use that often. Overall ok. Far better than the dashboard calculator.

Genoa City, WI, United States | Member Since 2010
"Old school sensibilites..."
While I have seen many of the movie and tv productions of this piece of work and thought I knew the plot (in a very general way), I could not have been more wrong. For the price and the massive scope of, what I feel, is Dumas' mangnum opus, you will not be disappointed with this reading. This oral edition may not have some of the finished polish of some other editions, since you can clearly hear page turning and there are more than a few stumbled words and sentences, but Andrew Timothy was like listening to your grandfather read you a story and that rather added, than subtracted from the whole fee.
In short, this is the best purchase I have made so far from the enjoyment of the story itself and the reader.
"Superheroes of Ancient England Assemble!"
It is difficult to pick only one thing and so I feel the best part of this book is the fact that you may see the root from which so many other hero stories draw their inspiration.
I have heard a number of Mr Davidson's performances and I feel that this one maintains the high standards that he has set before.
This is not a book for a single sitting. Putting it simply, there are just too many stories, characters and events for a single sitting (I had to break it up with something more modern; Hamlet). This is not truly flowing story because you are introduced to a astounding number of characters and the heroic events of their lives, which, putting it directly, makes this book better to be taken in sections in order to digest the events just listened to.
I was initially nervous about purchasing this book due the number of complaints about Mr Davidson's reading of it, but I can honestly say that his reading was excellent and that I have no idea why there are the complaints that there are or what provoked them. The reading was done by an Englishman about Englishmen and his variation of accent and attitude were excellent. The only complaint that I have ever had with Mr Davidson's characterizations were in the way he reads American accents, but as there are no Americans in this book I have no complaints about his performance.
"Clearly 3rd"
Compared to previous Moist titles, this one lacks something. I am not sure if it is just me, but where as Going Postal was brilliant and Making Money was at least fun, Raising Steam seemed, for lack of a better word, forced.
Of course I would! There are too many examples of where TP has clearly hit the mark and made me laugh out loud in my office for me not give him a great many more chances if time and his talents permit!
I have listened to Stephen Briggs a number of other times and this one is no exception in his ability to give the characters presented their own voices.
If you are new to Terry Pratchet's books, Do Not read or listen to this one first! Hogfather, Mort, the afor mentioned Going Postal and even the first two books of the series (the Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic) are much better starting places.
"Sharpe and Trafalgar, Cornwell and Tull, 5 Stars!"
Being a fan of Napoleonic war and that strange time in history with new military geniuses, swords, pikes, halberd, guns and cannon, how could one not appreciate the talents of Bernard Cornwell's "in the moment" take on, what would arguably be, the most brilliant and lopsided sea battle ever fought.
Sharpe's perspective on the approach to breaking the combined fleet's line.
Patrick Tull brings life to each of the character's that he performs and I truly appreciate his ability to let me know who is talking, just by the accents and inflections that he brings to each character.
If you like Patrick Tull's reading here, you should definitely listen to his reading of the O'brien Aubrey and Maturin series starting with Master and Commander.
"What else is there to say... It is Sharpe!"
I would listen again, if only because I enjoy listening to nearly all of my Audible purchases multiple times. If I like a story, and I do like this story, it will absolutely get more than one listen and I am a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell's body of work, not to mention the life that Patrick Tull breaths into any story he narates.
If you like one Sharpe's book, I would be surprised if you would be disappointed in any of them.
"Emotion missing?"
Honestly, the voice of the narator was fine, but the delivery lacked the emotional quality that I have come to expect. Also, the sound of the narators voice remided me vividly of the voice of the narator that I used to hear accompanying film strips when I was a kid in grade school.
"Excellent Read of an Excellent Book"
I would not, though as an additional source it has much to recomend it. Own this book if you do not already, since you may, like me, wish to make notes and check references.
Very practical book with concise explainations of the fundamentals of "Christianity" and not of religion.
"Great Novella ruined by narrator."
One of the all time great stories and its prologue, put simply, ruined by the narrator's droning delivery, constant mispronunciations and an east coast accent that insists on putting R's on any word that ends in a vowel. Even though you get the earlier "Youth", this reading is NOT worth it, in my oppinion, at any price.
"Great concept...but..."
The concept of this story was excellent, however the main character left me flat. I gave it a 3 star rating because of its depth of secondary characters and side stories, but the protagonist I found I could never quite get behind or really care about.

MU administrators decided to delete an entire Facebook thread as a result of students' complaints about several anti-gay comments.
The Facebook page alerted students to events Monday and Tuesday — "Pouring Tea: Black Gay Men of the South Tell Their Tales" and "In Search of Countess Vivian: Queerness and the Making of Southern History" — presented by E. Patrick Johnson, chair of Northwestern's department of performance studies.
The thread was taken down Tuesday but a message was posted Wednesday on MU's Facebook page explaining that many of the comments violated the university's posting policy, and that appropriate comments were left up for at least 24 hours.
The thread was ultimately deleted, the message said, because the event was over and the thread was no longer pertinent.
Do you think it was appropriate for MU to delete the entire thread? Do you think it sends a message of intolerance for inappropriate comments, or do you think it covers up a problem the university should look at?
