There is a good chance that Adewale Ogunleye, the Bears' starting left end for the past six years, will depart via free agency.
That expected void might have been filled in-house by former first-round pick Gaines Adams, but his unexpected death leaves the Bears in a predicament. Restricted free agent Mark Anderson was a flop when he was handed the starting job at right end in 2007, and he has just 9 ½ sacks in the three seasons since his 12-sack rookie season in 2006.
The good news is there are some elite defensive linemen slated to become free agents. The bad news is they won't come cheaply, and some may be slapped with the franchise tag, effectively keeping them off the market. The Panthers' Julius Peppers, when motivated, is talented enough to lift the Bears' defense to a higher level all by himself. But Peppers is looking for a long-term deal with a salary of more than $1 million per game, and history says the Bears won't ante up that kind of money.
Peppers turned 30 last month, but isn't slowing down. He has 25 sacks over the past two seasons and has hit double figures in five of the last six seasons and six of his eight years in the league.
Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards will be a restricted free agent assuming that a new collective bargaining agreement isn't in place by March 4. And he'll get a high enough tender offer from the Vikings that will require at least a first-round pick as compensation, and the Bears don't have a first-rounder to give, since it went to Denver for Jay Cutler.
The Raiders are expected to slap a franchise tag on Richard Seymour, but the Titans' Kyle Vanden Bosch is expected to hit the market. Either one would be an upgrade for the Bears. Seymour is also 30, and he's coming off a down season in Oakland, where he was unhappy after being traded to the Raiders. But he was a Pro Bowl player with the Patriots and at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds could also play tackle in the Bears' 4-3 scheme.
Vanden Bosch is 31, and his production has fallen off the past two seasons, when he had a total of just 7 sacks, but he had a total of 31 in the three previous seasons and made the Pro owl twice. His agent, Tony Agnone, recently refuted rumors that Vanden Bosch was mulling retirement.

But then again, little about Justin Vernon is typical.
In 2007, an album started leaking across the Web - a dark, moody, hypnotic bit of neo-folk that, legend said, had been crafted note by note in a snowbound Wisconsin cabin. That album was "For Emma, Forever Ago," and it was written by Vernon, an Eau Claire native. The album was not set to be released until 2008, but the hugely influential Pitchfork.com named the 2007 online leak one of the best albums of the year. By the time the album was released, Vernon's band, Bon Iver, was already a cult sensation.
What set that first album apart was its sparseness. Floating on the breeze, blending singer-songwriter soul guitar with meticulous high-tech auto-tune effects, Bon Iver stood out instantly for the quality of Vernon's voice - a gorgeous, whispery falsetto - and the haunting crispness of the sound.
Now, after collaborating with the likes of Kanye West on his most recent record, Vernon is back. And the music world is watching closely. In his new record "Bon Iver, Bon Iver," which hits record stores Tuesday, we find a far more mainstream and meticulous creation. Where "For Emma" felt like a mystical aberration, "Bon Iver" feels like a magical burst of clarity.
Incorporating a nine-piece band, amping up the horns, rhythms and song arcs, "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" still has the fleeting, tepid feel of twilight. There is still an undulating sensation of a young man finding and grappling his way. But whereas his debut took place at sunset, on the last day of autumn, there's the sense here of a spring sunrise soaked in hope.
The tracks on this album point to destinations - "Perth," "Minnesota, WI," "Towers" (referring to the student dorms on the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire student campus), "Calgary," etc. - and it's reasonable to think that these are places Bon Iver toured during their first outing, and that each song has some bearing on the awakening of a musical career.
From the beginning of "Perth," one can sense the fusing of old Bon Iver with new. Faint echos of a humming chorus rise and dissipate, just as a snare drum slowly snaps to attention, and the bass, horns and electric guitars swell. It's an entirely new sound for the group, more upbeat and declarative, but that doesn't mean "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" is all happy. The song "Holocene" is fleeting and nostalgic, the track "Calgary" is almost hymn-like at the outset.
In fact, the complexity of the album can be found in "Calgary," which winds its way from hesitant harmonies to a soaring frenzy of electronic beats and full-throated, screaming vocals. There's a focus on story arcs here that was missing from "For Emma," and the result is a tapestry so complex and daring that each and every time one approaches the album, the songs seem to expand and extend, reaching beyond their frameworks.
This is challenging, gorgeous, emotive music, sung passionately and produced meticulously. It envelops the listeners in its tortured triumphs, while leading them down a never-ending spiral of new discoveries. This is pop music at its most refined, and in Justin Vernon, we see something of a musical visionary just warming up.

Sony is in a worse position then any of the big 3 companies. Yet you don't see the TC posting doom topics on the Sony boards. Enjoy the real data, fanboys. http://www.notenoughshaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Total-Liabilities-chart1.jpg Compare Apples total assets ($162.90 billion) to Apples total liabilities ($51.15 billion). Compare Microsofts total assets ($121.27 billion) to Microsofts total liabilities ($54.91 billion). Now compare Sonys total assets ($166.22 billion) to Sonys total liabilities ($135.61 billion). Since total assets include everything that Sony owns (cash, buildings, divisions, intellectual property, etc.) Sony would have to sell over 80 percent of their total assets (Total Assets = Every single thing Sony owns including cash) just to pay off their total liabilities. http://www.notenoughshaders.com/2012/09/08/the-ten-year-decline-of-sony/ | |
PippythePoop posted... The B&N part of the article is truly hysterical, but so is the concept of Sony buying out Microsoft's games division. The author clearly doesn't have the first idea how much of a money bind Sony is in. There's a reason they recently sold their New York skyscraper for a billion dollars. Enclave posted... Sony actually has more money to spend than you probably think. If Sony were to drop their consumer electronics other than Playstation they would suddenly become quite the profitable company again. slyman19 posted... Sony has about 7 billion in the bank with over 100 billion in debt. No way in hell they could afford the Xbox brand. Also things are not going to get better for Sony with Kaz as CEO (nor will MS get better with Ballmer in charge). Gnomestone posted...

The latest hotspot in town is eco-friendly
Drive on the Necklace Road in the evening and you get to see the newest sparkler in Hyderabad on the other side of the Husainsagar Lake. It appears like a trapezium awash in brilliant colours in one angle and then appears like a yacht from a different angle.
Imagine a day when the Necklace Road station is connected to the airport then you can directly wheel in your luggage into
The Park, the first seven-star hotel in Hyderabad. The lobby is not at the entrance but on the third floor. Designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill (it also designed the Burj Khalifa) the Park has an all glass facade, sheated by 6,200 panels of composite aluminium. The result:
The park turns into a green building that uses .8 watts per sft as the glass lets in the light and the aluminum bounces off the heat. The hotel brims with green ideas. The lift automatically uses lower energy when fewer people use and ramps up the power when more people get in.
Not just the environment, Priya Paul of the Apeejay group who was involved right from the beginning till now, has incorporated cultural features she saw as defining the city. That is the reason for the presence of Kalamkari artefacts and motifs from tholubommalata in the hotel. While the rooms have a canvas with tholubommalata motif, one of the lounges in the lobby has a ceiling covered with Kalamkari work.
Outside the lobby on the third floor is the swimming pool that blends into the infinity of the Hussainsagar Lake. The horizon blending sight is a delight makes you wonder where the water is disappearing as you listen to the recessed all-weather Bose speakers pumping in the music.
The Rs. 340 crore Park has 270 rooms and plans are on anvil for a luxury retail mall beside the melange of restaurants and watering holes.

Stanton Deliver 8A+?
It gets hard from here... (pics are stills from a film shot by Nick Brown)
The problem starts from standing at the foot of the arete with LH on fairly obvious slopey crimp and RH on a pinch on the arete.
Between this, Pink Lady- Dave Mason's new 7c+ stand/ 8a sit. Golden egg- Jon Boys new 7c+ (and Ned's 7c+ variation - Furry Egg)
There are alot of good things going up in this area and i bet it's not long until an 8b is sniffed out.
To Celebrate i whipped over to cratcliffe and RHS with Nick and did Musclin' man (bransbys way) and my prune (stunning) My prune was a bit interesting as it was getting dark and i was getting tired and the last bit heading leftwards strayed a little too close to the bone.

A set of finite elements (FEs) is formulated to analyze wave propagation through inhomogeneous material when subjected to mechanical, thermal loading or piezo-electric actuation. Elastic, thermal and electrical properties of the materials axe allowed to vary in length and thickness direction. The elements can act both as sensors and actuators. These elements are used to model wave propagation in functionally graded materials (FGM) and the effect of inhomogeneity in the wave is demonstrated. Further, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is modeled and wave propagation due to piezo-electric actuation from interdigital transducers (IDTs) is studied.

Audi 100 Replacement Ignition Coil Information
Your Audi 100s ignition coil is the piece of equipment responsible for generating the charge to the spark plugs that ignites the fuel and air mixture in your engine's internal combustion cylinders. It consists of two tightly coiled bundles of copper wire submerged in an oil solution. The primary coil receives approximately 12 volts of electricity from your battery. The secondary coil contains many spiral through which this electricity moves, which has the effect of amplifying the electricity exponentially. When the electricity finally emerges from the ignition coil, it's an electrical charge measuring approximately 40,000 volts. When the ignition coil isn't operating properly, you'll see a sharp decline in your gasoline mileage. Your intake and exhaust valves won't be able to operate efficiently, so your vehicle will begin producing blacker exhaust fumes. PartsGeek.com sells replacement ignition coils for your Audi 100.

From Heroes Wiki
Telempathic manipulation | |
Held by: | Villy Ackles |
Ability to: | Manipulate others emotions via thought |
Telempathic manipulation is the ability to manipulate and control others emotions, feelings, desires with mind from any distance.
Villy Ackles
Villy is able to induce any emotion after just thinking about the target and the certain emotion. No limits to what emotions can be induced both positive and negative.She is also able to hear others thoughts if they include feelings/desires and of course manipulate them.When she induces a certain emotion her eyes change color as follows:
Color | Emotion |
Red | Anger |
Yellow | Joy |
Green | Trust |
Blue | Surprise |
Black | Sadness |
Gray | Disgust |
Orange | Anticipation |
White | Fear |
Pink | Love |
Each emotion has subemotions which are shown to be induced with a minor change of the main eye color:
Rage is induced when her eyes are dark red; Grief when her eyes are dark blue.

Food safety ensures the maintenance and long-term preservation of health.

Some may speak of freedom
While others can only dream,
But over in Tibet
Freedom's told but never seen.
While the whole world goes on waiting
For freedom to unfold,
Tibet just asks for justice
But justice is on hold.
While China is rewarded
For evil deeds since done,
It seems Tibet's chances
Are all but surely gone.
A massacre once spoken of
Has all but slipped our minds,
Although they hope for freedom
Tibet must be resigned.
Resigned to broken promises
The World forgot to keep,
Resigned to Chinese evil sown
Which the world went on to reap.

The weekend was chocked full of friends, drinks, sun, sand and fun – not to mention a whole lot of food. My friends Bryan and Lisa went over the top, and served the group homemade chili, pulled chicken, pasta salad, veggie burgers and more.
After all of our good times and eats at the beach house, Z and I slowly made our way back to Boston Sunday morning. We knew we needed a substantial breakfast, so we could start working on the house when we got back, so when we stumbled upon Turtle Café, we immediately parked and went in.
After a stressful few weeks, it was really wonderful to just relax on the beach, cocktail in hand, reminiscing with some of the best people in my life. It's weekends like these that bring me back down to earth and remind me what life is all about.
What did you do this weekend?

20 Bizarre Laws Related to Love and Marriage That Are Still On The Books
No PDA in Iowa. Not much, anyway. You've got a five-minute time limit to make out. But that's forever when you consider that it's illegal to smooch for more than one second if you're in Halethorpe, Maryland. I don't know about you, but after some of the stuff I've seen in public, that's a law I can get behind.
If you're in Idaho, you're not allowed to engage in any type of public display of affection for more than 18 minutes.
And just in case you're planning a vacation to Disney World anytime soon, you better cross "becoming intimate with a porcupine" off your to-do list — it's against the law.
That's right, at some point someone, several someones, thought it necessary to craft a law prohibiting relations with porcupines. Apparently it was a problem.
While porcupine love is surprising, it certainly isn't the most shocking item on this list. Far from it. In fact, according Fox News, "The U.S. has more laws regulating sexual behavior than all the European countries combined." Go ahead, school yourself in some of the craziest laws relating to love and marriage that are still on the books. You know, just in case you happen to be in Iowa and tell your husband you have a headache so there will be no hanky panky. That'll earn you a quick trip to the slammer.
Don't believe me? Read on, my friends. Read on.

Victim impact statements from Tori Stafford's family
Statements entered at the murder trial of Terri-Lynne McClintic detail the agonizing loss suffered by Tori Stafford's family.
WOODSTOCK, ONT.—The emptiness is overwhelming and words do not suffice.
But those who knew Tori Stafford best, loved her most, did try to articulate their unbearable loss in victim impact statements read into the court record, prior to the conviction and mandatory life sentence for murder in the first degree imposed on Terri-Lynne McClintic. A temporary ban on the proceedings has now been partly lifted.
Tara McDonald, Tori's mother:
"It has been just over a year since the loss of my baby and I have tried many times to put to words how this has impacted on my life. My life will never be the same without Victoria. . . . The pain never gets easier to accept in my heart. I miss her so much that many times, if I didn't have my son, I probably would of taken my own life because the agony of not having her here with me is so great.
"At night I cannot sleep and when I do, a lot of the time I have nightmares and I wake up and it feels like I'm still trapped in my nightmares. My heart, mind, body and soul feel like I will never, ever find peace or closure. A piece of me will be missing for the rest of my entire lifetime.
"I cry uncontrollably. . . . I don't think that anyone can ever understand how the loss of a child impacts a person's life.''
Rodney Stafford, Tori's father (court-edited statement):
"On April 8, 2009, I, my son Daryn, my ex-wife Tara, our family and friends, and much to our surprise, a nation, all became victims to a heinous crime, when one of our children was stolen in broad daylight. . . .
"It plays in my mind over and over again. Just what could have Victoria done so wrong in her eight years that she deserved to lose her little innocent life? Nothing at all!!! Victoria was only ever guilty of being a little girl.
"I now stand in front of the woman responsible for leading Victoria to her kidnapping, and eventually her final resting place. . . . I try to sit and think of reasons as to why?? Why my little girl??
"Months of drastically searching for Victoria, trying to hold out hope that one day soon, we can see my child's face again. But what do I get? A grainy image of a video, of a woman walking away leading Victoria to her death, with Victoria walking and skipping alongside like any innocent child would. . . .
"Suddenly news of finding Victoria's remains became a relief. What the hell??? Relief??? That they found my daughter's remains? How messed up does that sound? Most definitely messed right up, but Victoria was able to come home and so many other children are still out there missing. . . .
"The hardest part of my last year has been watching my 12-year-old son try to continue through life trying to figure out why the pod now only has one pea. Who split the pod and why?
"It kills me inside to see him cry and for me to know that the one thing he wants now in life, that could make him happy, and put that smile back on his face, I can never give him. I can never bring Victoria home to see Daryn.''
On McClintic: "Thank you for stepping up and accepting responsibility for your actions resulting in Victoria's eventual death. I thank you for aiding in the search of Victoria's remains and for all the information provided to help lead up to finding Victoria. It has been said that without you, we may never have found Victoria.
"I now believe in my heart that you were just a woman under the influence of a controlled substance, who took things too far. Still doesn't make it right, but it happened and we can't change the past.
"I hope that during your sentence, you find peace with yourself, and with God. And just maybe one day, I could learn to forgive you, but for now, excuse me if I don't.
"My little girl is gone.''
Daryn Stafford, Tori's brother:
"I am supposed to describe my emotional losses, but it would take all the paper in the world to say how I feel and what I have lost. But the thing I lose the most, not only my sister, but my bestest friend. Tori was the most important person in the world to me. And the worst part about losing her . . . is I don't ever get to see her again.
"I lost my only sibling. Me and Tori could barely be apart for a weekend let alone a lifetime. . . . We always did stuff together, taking turns on what we should (do) next, and usually we argued but we always made up.
"Just knowing that I never get to see her again makes me sad. I would have given anything and I still would give anything to get my baby sister back. I just love her more than anything.
"There's nights I lie with my mom crying because I miss Tori. Also, I don't like going places by myself or going into stores myself cause it scares me.''
Graichen Doreen, Tori's paternal grandmother:
"As I've watched my children and grandchildren over the past year try to come to an acceptance of what happened to their worlds, I've realized we have all become imprisoned for life. Our sentence will never end.
"From nightmares to the cruelties of other children's hurtful words, all of my grandchildren have suffered. Knowing Victoria will never be coming home to visit or play or even argue with her cousins or brother again is so painful and heart-wrenching for all of us. . . .
"I have felt completely helpless because I can't find a way to make the pain stop. I can't comfort my son or Daryn or Tori's cousins or aunts and uncles and make it better.
"My mind spins and I can't stop wondering or coming up with my own ideas of what happened and why. I work six days a week and sometimes more if I can, just to keep myself from focusing on all of the horror we are living through. My heart aches and sometimes I can't breathe. There's an anxiousness in me now, feeling of anger, hatred and confusion.
"I've watched people whispering and nodding in our direction. I've seen people walk towards me and look up at me and then veer off. . . . I realize they just don't know what to say . . . neither do I.''
L. Winters, Tori's maternal grandmother:
"I use the 'm' because to say it in its full expression hurts me deeper than I can handle. I pray constantly for all those involved in this great loss.
"Other than a couple of close friends, chosen family members, I am unable to trust, confide in, because of the questions, remarks, see if they are compassionate or just judgmental or hurtful. Even strangers ask questions about the future and I try to give answers that will stop the questions.
"I had a ADT system and new keyless entrance lock put in my home. Try not to go out alone at later hours. Making sure where Daryn is, picking up and taking to school.
"Sleeping habits, a few hours sleep here and there, waking to anxiety or tears for my greatest loss . . . taking stronger medications. Bereavement counselling has been ongoing. This grieving process may last my lifetime.

Who would have ever thought that worms could invade a forest and wreak havoc?
The following environmental news items were excerpted from Not Man Apart, a newsletter published by Friends of the Earth.
Ever since 1946 utility companies have been drooling over the idea of producing hydroelectric power for the Northwest by damming the portion of the Snake River that runs through Hells Canyon, a project which would flood the gorge itself (the country's deepest) and turn it into a reservoir. Conservationists, of course, have been fighting the plan tooth and nail for just as long. Now recent Congressional action appears to have (finally!) assured success for "our side."
The House of Representatives has passed a bill to ban all dam construction anywhere on the free-flowing part of the Middle Snake River, and—better yet—to create a 670,000-acre Hells Canyon National Recreation Area along the region where the Snake separates Oregon from Idaho. The Senate had previously approved (by unanimous vote) a similar measure, so now all that remains is to have the two Houses iron out minor differences and send the result to the President for him to sign. Environmental battles do sometimes drag on (the Hells Canyon tussle lasted nearly twenty-nine years), but victories such as this one make all the effort more than worthwhile.
Four months after Death Valley was made a national monument (in 1933), Congress passed a law that opened the area to mining. The measure was originally intended to preserve the romantic tradition of the "single-blanket jackass prospector," but today that Old West institution has been replaced by ever-accelerating large-scale strip mining.
Tenneco Corporation's first (and largest} open mine (called the "Boraxo Pit") is now 3,000 feet long, 600 feet wide, 230 feet deep, and growing fast. The company plans to expand its operations fivefold in the next few years. Three talc-producing outfits have followed Tenneco's dig-and-scrape lead, and now leave piles of white waste glittering against the dark—and formerly beautiful—background. In fact, there are more than 1,827 "digging" claims in Death Valley today, and over two hundred new ones are flied each year.
Nevertheless, the. operators involved know they're fighting against the clock. Environmentalists are currently supporting legislation—introduced by Senator Lee Metcalf (of Montana), Congressman Morris Udall (of Arizona), and Congressman John Seiberling (of Ohio)—that would protect Death Valley and five other parks and monuments. In the meantime, however—while the lawmaking process drags on, with no guarantee of success—the corporate "biggies" are getting all they can, while they can. Crews are working around the clock. And Tenneco even took the offensive (and we do mean "offensive") by asking the National Park Service to build overlooks by their pits so visitors could gaze at "modern mining." Talk about chutzpah!
Construction of South Dakota's Oahe Diversion"—a massive "brainchild" of the Bureau of Reclamation that would involve building a dam, 1,000 miles of canals, and three reservoirs—is meeting concerted opposition from the very farmers the project is supposed to benefit.
The problems? Well, as the plan stands now, 120 miles of the James River would be channeled into a 54-mile irrigation ditch. The fanners say (and the Soil Conservation Society of America agrees) that the resulting extra water in the soil would dissolve ground salts, contaminate streams and subsurface springs, and—in the end—destroy plant life.
The Bureau claims it can solve the quandary with an elaborate system of drainage pipes, but neglects to mention that their "solution" would pollute the James River. There's also a question of what would happen if the scheme didn't work. A spokesman for the United Family Farmers recently stated that "Failure of the project's drainage system .could convert areas of the Lake Plain (the region involved) to a salty marsh."
Yes, and there are other pitfalls, too: The Bureau, for instance, has quoted three different sets of figures on the proposed spacing of its drainpipes in different reports; farmers are beginning to think the agency is juggling its numbers accordiug to the audience involved. Also, the project would eliminate 9,420 acres of waterfowl habitat, and—worse yet- area residents fear that the system would eventually result in the end of many small family farms. (History bears their suspicions out: Over the years, irrigated areas have consistently become centrally owned by a handful of people.)
At this point, family farmers have organized and refused to sell rights-of-way for canals, and they're now trying hard to get a referendum on the issue. The battle could well be a long one.
The proposed Kaiparowits project in Utah would be the biggest coal-burning power plant in the country. The facility would send at least 300 tons of pollutants a day into the air through 600-foot stacks, and would be located in the middle of the "Golden Circle" of six national parks, three national monuments, and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The power itself would go to Los Angeles and southern California, where utility companies apparently just can't get enough.
Environmentalists are vehemently opposed, of course, and the fight has already produced a year's delay in construction ... and a regular brouhaha. The executive vice-president of Southern California Edison—a major backer of the project—has said that "until the various environmental issues and regulatory delays are resolved, and resultant cost increases are assessed, the (power plant's) participants cannot prudently continue to make major expenditures to meet the present schedule." (It had been estimated that construction spending in 1976 alone would amount to $80 million.)
Meanwhile, environmental groups held a big press conference at the project's site in January. The presidents of the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth were there to speak, but that meeting was invaded by townspeople shouting slogans and carrying placards (one example: "Sierra Club Stop Pollution: Sit On A Stack").
Apparently the area's residents want the jobs the project would produce despite the brown haze the plant would cast over most of the land, and regardless of the fact that the facility's water consumption might well force a cutback on their own use of the commodity. So it looks as though we're fighting the state of Utah, the utilities, and the townspeople themselves in order to prevent a monstrous coal-burner from spreading smog over the wilderness.
Despite national media coverage and widespread protests, it looks as though the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game is going to go ahead with its plan for aerial wolf hunts on federal property. One government agency has withdrawn financial support in the face of public outcry, but hunters will still be able to prowl the land in helicopters and slaughter wolves with shotguns. (The "sportsmen" sometimes track the wolves by following signals from radio-transmission collars that were put on the animals in an earlier experiment!)
The hunts will continue for up to five years, and are designed to see what will happen to dwindling moose populations without the canine predators. Wolves will be completely exterminated in a 3,200-square-mile area east of Mount McKinley, but hunts in two other regions will only (only?) deplete the species.
Apparently Alaskan Fish and Game wants to see if it can do better at managing nature than Mother Nature herself. (Guess who allowed human hunters to deplete the moose in the first place?)
-Diablo Canyon Reactor FaultThe U.S. Geological Survey recently found a major fault zone only 2.5 miles away from California's still-under-construction Diablo Canyon reactors. One of the two power plants is 96 percent completed, and is designed to withstand a 6.75 Richter-scale earthquake. But the fault—which is young (in geological time) and active—could slip enough to register 7.5. The problem is that the Diablo Canyon reactor would pretty much have to be rebuilt to make it more sound. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission may not issue an operating permit because of the new development. But then again, the NRC isn't likely to overlook the utility companies' investment of $985 million. It's extremely likely, however, that ifthe NRC does issue an operating permit, environmentalists will file lawsuits fast.
-Reactor Plans AbandonedThe General Manager of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District recently recommended to his Board of Directors that they forget their plans for building a second nuclear reactor (their first is in Clay Station, California). He said construction estimates had risen from $427 million two years ago to $660 million now, raw uranium ore costs have gone up from $17 a pound to $30 (and are still rising), there will soon be a shortage of fuel enrichment facilities, there are no operating reprocessing plants or programs for disposal of wastes, and average reactor efficiencies are falling way below marginal estimates.
The executive suggested buying into geothermal or hydroelectric power (and maybe even oil) instead. He also stated that he thinks the federal government ought to do something about establishing mandatory conservation measures. It seems that at least one utility district is beginning to see the nonnuclear-powered light!
-Nuclear PollThose misguided souls who still say that scientists alone should decide the future of nuclear power might be interested in the result of a recent poll—conducted by the Federation of American Scientists—which indicates that more and more of those experts are developing their own very serious doubts over the issue.
A questionnaire released by FAS (which is based in Washington, D.C., has 36 Nobel laureates on its Board of Sponsors, and lobbies for 6,500 scientist/members) listed five "what to do about nuclear power" choices, ranging from "increase the construction" to "proclaim a moratorium" and "phase out the plants." Sixty-two percent of the respondents chose the latter two alternatives.
The House and Senate are now working on amendments to the Clean Air Act, and the lines of opposition are all too clearly drawn.
The subcommittees that originally studied the bills involved want to [1] prevent air that's clean now from becoming dirty, [2] establish a mandatory penalty for any stationary sources of air pollution that don't meet federal standards by 1979, and [3] require continuous emissions controls (instead of intermittent controls, which corporations can avoid by simply changing the timing of their pollutant releases).
Those are all reasonable goals, but industry and the administration are against the proposals. They want to weaken restrictions for air quality and have even gone so far as to resist regulations that would protect the air in our national parks and wilderness areas.
Anyone who's been paying attention to the reports that city smog has been found more than 100 miles from any metropolitan area should be concerned about this issue. It's a whopper. The right to breathe clean air is at stake!

urgent! panting for no reason.
I need advice since i cant get to my vet till am.
My 1yr old basset has started panting no reason, she was happily chewing her bone, has water, and has started breathing really heavy and panting. I have looked and i dont see any bone in her throat, she ate a liitle treat fine and isnt coughing. She has been fighting a bladder infection and was allergic to her first meds, has been on new ones since sat. I read they can pant when in pain. She is her cuddly self right now while breathing extra heavy. Any ideas or things i should do? Or am i being an over worried mom? Thanks |

Bassets are more likely to react to pain by shivering although of course, panting can be a symptom of some kind of stress (not necessarily pain). If she's reacted to pain meds. before, I think I'd be calling the vet who should have a pick up emergency number, even if closed. Have you checked to see what her gum colour looks like? Should be pink, and certainly not grey or white.

To assess the cost effectiveness of adding cetuximab to platinum-based chemotherapy in first-line treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) from the perspective of the Canadian public healthcare system.
We developed a Markov state transition model to project the lifetime clinical and economic consequences of recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. Transition probabilities were derived from a phase III trial of cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. Cost estimates were obtained from London Health Sciences Centre and the Ontario Case Costing Initiative, and expressed in 2011 CAD. A three year time horizon was used. Future costs and health benefits were discounted at 5%.
In the base case, cetuximab plus platinum-based chemotherapy compared to platinum-based chemotherapy alone led to an increase of 0.093 QALY and an increase in cost of $36,000 per person, resulting in an incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $386,000 per QALY gained. The cost effectiveness ratio was most sensitive to the cost per mg of cetuximab and the absolute risk of progression among patients receiving cetuximab.
The addition of cetuximab to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in first-line treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC has an ICER that exceeds $100,000 per QALY gained. Cetuximab can only be economically attractive in this patient population if the cost of cetuximab is substantially reduced or if future research can identify predictive markers to select patients most likely to benefit from the addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy.

Guess what? Some of your sartorial choices are out of your hands. And, no, not in a puppet-pulling-the-strings kind of way. But, it may just be possible that our style preferences are a reflection of our astrological signs, developed with certain inherent penchants for one aesthetic over another. Are you destined to love sportswear over slinky dresses, obsess over plaid, or fill your closet with neutral colors exclusively? The answer is not so cut and dry. But, if anyone can help us crack the sartorial zodiac code, it would be Susan Miller.
Teaming with the famed astrologer, we've taken a closer look at the kind of styles that most appeal to every sign. And, with Miller's help, we've crafted perfect summer-into-fall looks that were made just for you.

New York, NY – April 6, 2009 – Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records announced today the signing of a worldwide deal with Los Angeles hard rockers RATT. The band is set to begin recording its first new material since 1999's self-titled album this spring.
One of the most popular rock acts of the past 20 years, RATT's brand of guitar-driven melodic rock helped shape the LA metal scene. The band boasts a deep catalog of hits including smashes like "Round and Round," "Lay It Down," "You're In Love," "Lack of Communication" and "Wanted Man" which are beloved by fans the world over. The band has gone on to sell millions of albums worldwide. With 1984's mega-platinum debut Out of the Cellar celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the band is looking forward to starting a new chapter with new music to complement the impressive legacy they have established over two-plus decades.
"This deal is a great opportunity for us to get our new music to RATT fans worldwide," says frontman Stephen Pearcy. "We are super excited about the new material!"
Over the past two years, RATT has toured the world in support of their releases Tell The World- The Very Best Of Ratt and their first ever DVD, Videos from the Cellar- The Atlantic Years. During this time, the current lineup of Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, Bobby Blotzer, Robbie Crane and Carlos Cavazo played shows in Australia, Colombia and Peru for the first time in their careers.
"The fans deserve the credit for making this happen. When we saw the band in concert and witnessed their passion and excitement, it was obvious that the time was right for RATT to make new music," says Tom Lipsky, Loud & Proud President.
Guitarist Warren DeMartini adds, "we look forward to working with our friend and veteran record exec Tom Lipsky."
The new album is set for a fall release and will be supported by a world tour.

Brief Title ICMJE | The READ-2 Study: Ranibizumab for Edema of the mAcula in Diabetes | ||||
Official Title ICMJE | Ranibizumab for Edema of the Macula in Diabetes: a Phase 2 Study ( The Read-2 Study) | ||||
Brief Summary | This study is being done to see if the investigational drug Ranibizumab (RBZ) given by injection into the eye, is safe and effective to use in people with diabetic macular edema (DME). The investigators want to compare RBZ to laser treatment which is the current standard way to treat DME. RBZ blocks a growth factor that is thought to be involved in the formation of abnormal blood vessels that cause loss of vision in patients with DME. |
Detailed Description | The READ-2 Study is a phase 2 randomized, multi-center clinical trial to be conducted under an investigator-initiated IND. The study aims to enroll 126 patients, who will be randomized into 3 different groups. The primary objectives of the READ-2 Study are: (a) to obtain data on the bioactivity and dose interval effects of intravitreal ranibizumab (RBZ) alone, as well as in combination with laser photocoagulation, on retinal thickness and visual acuity in subjects with DME; and (b) to obtain additional safety and bioactivity data to aid in the design of a phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate ranibizumab as a therapeutic option for patients with DME The study consists of a 2-week screening period (Days -14 to 0), a 6-month treatment period with a primary time endpoint, and a 18-month follow-up and treatment period with secondary time endpoints. Consented subjects will enter the 14-day screening period to determine eligibility. Serum chemistry and hematology testing, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, and macular thickness measurements based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) will be performed. Screening will also include VA, ophthalmic examination and FA entry criteria. Patients who have ETDRS visual acuity of 20/40 or worse, but better than or equal to 20/320 due to foveal thickening from macular edema secondary to diabetes (type 1 or 2) and who meet eligibility criteria will be eligible to enroll in the study. Baseline foveal thickness by OCT must be at least 250, which is often associated with VA of 20/40 or worse and which provides sufficient thickening so that a treatment effect is easily detectable (Nguyen et al. 2004). Approximately 126 patients with DME will be enrolled in this study from all clinical sites in the study. Every effort will be made to recruit and enroll eligible patients from men and women of all ethnic and social backgrounds. Patients who meet entry criteria will be able to enroll in the study until the quota of patients has been achieved. |

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), defined in RFC 1771, provides loop-free interdomain routing between autonomous systems. (An autonomous system [AS] is a set of routers that operate under the same administration.) BGP is often run among the networks of Internet service providers (ISPs).
In order to get AS info, you need to configure your router to include AS info. AS information collection is resource intensive, especially when configured for origin-AS. In case you are not interested in monitoring peering arrangements, disabling AS collection may improve NetFlow Analyzer performance. |
Enter the global configuration mode and issue the following commands to enable BGP routing and establish a BGP routing process:
Command | Purpose |
router bgp as-number
Enables the BGP routing process, which places the router in router configuration mode |
network network-number
[mask network-mask] [route-map route-map-name] |
Flags a network as local to this autonomous system and enters it to the BGP table |
BGP supports two kinds of neighbors: internal and external. Internal neighbors are in the same autonomous system; external neighbors are in different autonomous systems. Normally, external neighbors are adjacent to each other and share a subnet, while internal neighbors may be anywhere in the same autonomous system.
To configure BGP neighbors, issue the following command in router configuration mode:
Command | Purpose |
neighbor {ip-address|peer-group-name}
remote-as as-number |
Specifies a BGP neighbor |
The following example shows how BGP neighbors on an autonomous system are configured to share information.
router bgp 109
network 188.8.131.52
network 22.214.171.124
neighbor 18.104.22.168 remote-as 167
neighbor 22.214.171.124 remote-as 109
neighbor 184.108.40.206 remote-as 99
In the example, a BGP router is assigned to autonomous system 109, and
two networks are listed as originating in the autonomous system. Then
the addresses of three remote routers (and their autonomous systems) are
listed. The router being configured will share information about networks
184.108.40.206 and 188.8.131.52 with the neighboring routers. The first router
listed is in a different autonomous system; the second neighbor's remote-as
router configuration command specifies an internal neighbor (with the
same autonomous system number) at address 184.108.40.206 and the
third neighbor's remote-as
router configuration command specifies
a neighbor on a different autonomous system.
If you have configured BGP on your network, and want Netflow to report on autonomous systems (AS info), issue the following command on the router in global configuration mode:
Command | Purpose |
ip flow-export destination {hostname|ip_address}
9996 |
Exports the Netflow cache entries to the specified IP address. Use the IP address of the NetFlow Analyzer server and the configured Netflow listener port. The default port is 9996. |
ip flow-export {version} [peer-as
| origin-as] |
Exports NetFlow cache entries in the specified version format (5 or 7). If your router uses BGP, you can specify that either the origin or peer ASs are included in exports – it is not possible to include both. |
