Public works men get pat on the back 3 days after floods
Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson got a pat on the back from President Benigno Aquino III himself just three days after the capital suffered untold miseries for the flooding and gridlock that accompanied the outset of the rainy season.
The public may be blaming the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) for Monday's flooding and traffic woes, but the Chief Executive appeared satisfied with the performance of Singson, whom he christened the "water czar."
To show his admiration for Singson and his department, the President on Thursday motored to the DPWH main office at Port Area, Manila, and gifted each of the agency's officials and employees a P10,000 "anniversary bonus."
In a speech to keynote the 115th founding anniversary of the once corruption-plagued agency, the President justified the grant of such a bonus even as lawmakers called for an audit of the flood control projects over the last three years that have yet to prevent the capital from turning into a "Waterworld"— in reference to the postapocalyptic science fiction film.
Mr. Aquino said the DPWH people under Singson's watch should be rewarded for their hard work, efficiency, cost-effective and timely services, and adherence to his "straight path" mantra of public service.
He later outlined to reporters what he believed was the marked improvement in the flood situation in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Asked about the flooding that engulfed many parts of the capital last Thursday and Monday, the President pointed out that the floods did not even reach the upper half of the tires of some vehicles.
Proof of pudding
Apparently protesting observations that it only took a few hours of rain for the floods to rise, he said "the pictures that I saw in the papers … show that the (car) did not submerge up to half of the tire." The floodwater "barely covered the rubber portion of the tire," he said.
He said this could be "proof" that "what Secretary Singson is doing—which he promised us—seems to be effective."
"The (flood) problem is enormous … but (through DPWH's efforts) the floods could recede faster," said the President.
The President said MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino told him two instances that contributed to traffic jams—one drainage was covered with a G.I. sheet and the other with plastic and rocks.
"So I've tasked the Department of Interior and Local Government, specifically the Philippine National Police under [it], to investigate whether this was deliberate," he said.
Mr. Aquino echoed what Singson and other Palace officials had been telling the media to explain the sudden rise of floodwaters during monsoon downpours. He said rainfall from the denuded Sierra Madre mountain range had drastically limited the capacity of Metro Manila's rivers and creeks, resulting in flooding.
"The flow at its peak can reach 3,600 cubic meters per second, okay? The river [channels] can accommodate [water], at the narrowest portions, the minimum [flow] is about a thousand cubic meters per second," he said.
Water czar
To lessen runoff from Sierra Madre making its way to Metro Manila via Marikina, he said he had ordered a logging ban and massive tree planting under the National Greening Project in the area.
According to him, the watershed management program would take some 20 to 25 years to be able to contribute to flood mitigation, while the plan to build a 90-km road dike around Laguna Lake and 2.6-km box culvert from Dapitan to Tondo in Manila would take some time.
He said the flood master plan had many other components, but assured the public that this would not be done on a "piecemeal basis" since every local government unit would be part of the process as part of efforts to arrive at a "permanent solution" to floods.
He said Singson, as "our water czar," was tasked to streamline the work of 32 agencies and offices which have overlapping jurisdictions over water issues "so that they will help each other instead of being a problem to each other."

Flickering on GeForce FX - NVIDIA needs your help

It is the one in the metal case, but I can tell you the card produces the same annoying sounds and the same flickering everybody in this thread has to deal with.
I hope Nvidia will fix this soon.
I paid over 500 $ so where is the support Mr. Burke ?
Actually Mr Burke doesn't owe you anything, Leadtek does.
The one thing that boggles me is how nVidia and their partners totally missed this in quality control. I mean a massive amount of boards are affected, probably much more than we've read about simply because users haven't noticed yet or blamed it on other stuff or simply are "Avarage Joes" who don't know where to go with such problems.
Yet, it slipped through with ease or so it seems.
If it is indeed unfixable in software this might get very ugly for all nVidia partners, with RMA and all I mean. (Should also spell pretty large financial setbacks too.)
If it is nVidias fault I wonder if the third party manufacturers will get refunds on the faulty boards/chips they've bought?

(Troy Wayrynen/The Columbian)Buy this photo
Karlee Lubenow acknowledged that she was a little concerned this past summer, sizing up the Prairie volleyball team.
The Falcons lost a lot of talent from the previous season and had a lot of newcomers joining them.
Lubenow, going into her fourth season of varsity ball, said the team had a lot of question marks.
She and her teammates have answered those questions, all with positive answers.
"Even if we're not always the best team on the floor physically, we are always passionate," Lubenow said. "We're super good at coming back and never giving up in a game."
Perhaps that is why the Falcons are undefeated and easily won the Class 3A Greater St. Helens League.
In Camas, senior Brindl Langley noticed something special with the Papermakers in summer league.
"It was the way we connected as a team. We loved each other. There were no cliques. No mean commentary to each other. We love being around each other," said Langley, who was the 3A GSHL player of the year last year before she and her teammates moved to the 4A GSHL this season.
"Last week, we had Friday off, so it was a three-day weekend from volleyball. We hated being away from each other," Langley said. "It was weird. I don't know what to do with myself unless I have a volleyball in my hand."
That feeling of always wanting to be together has led the Papermakers to the top seed in the 4A GSHL. Camas is 12-1 overall -- its only loss coming in a five-set, non-league thriller against, yep, Prairie.
The former league rivals now hope to shine in different classifications, both with high expectations for the postseason.
Lubenow said the early tests against 4A programs Camas, Union, and Skyview showed Prairie was for real. Especially that match against Camas.
"It was a great wake-up call for us," Lubenow said. "That was a real blood, sweat, and tears match for us. We were exhausted. We scrapped for every point, all the way."
That goes along with the team's philosophy. To keep working. No matter how good they think they are, or others think they are.
Prairie was ranked No. 1 by the Seattle Times early in the season. The state's coaches also love the Falcons, ranking them No. 2 in their most recent poll. Lubenow said some teams could use that as an excuse to take it easy, especially playing in a league that is not as competitive as it has been in recent years.
"That's what I love about our team," Lubenow said. "We work extra hard in practice. We've been preparing, ever since the first game for now, for the postseason. We don't feel entitled to anything. We're going to see tougher teams. We're going to have to really want it. Everyone on the team is going to have to play at 100 percent for it to happen."It would be a state championship.
Prairie coach Andrea Doerfler is not guaranteeing a state title, but she is guaranteeing her team will prepare itself to the best of its ability.
"That's one of the core values of our program," Doefler said. "Be better every time you leave the gym. The team takes it very seriously."
Camas has made a smooth transition to the 4A GSHL, ending Skyview's run of four consecutive league titles.
"I made this comment before we played anyone, and I never do this. But I said this might be the best team I've ever coached," Camas coach Julie Nidick said. "We don't have a lot of weaknesses."
The Papermakers have dropped one set in league play this year, against Union.
"I am happy in the way we are playing and the way we took control of 4A," Langley said. "Hopefully it will lead into how we are going to play into bi-district and state."
The Papermakers, ranked fifth in Class 4A by the coaches, also are aware that the bi-district tournament in Class 4A is much stronger. Camas won the bi-district as a 3A program the past three years. Last year, the 4A GSHL champion failed to advance to state, stumbling in the bi-district tournament.
"They know this is a whole new ball game," Nidick said.
And that means a whole new challenge for Langley and her teammates.
"The teams up there are way better. They're taller, stronger, faster. I want to show them what's up," Langley said. "I want to go to state this year, first year in 4A, and make a statement for years to come."
In Southwest Washington, Prairie and Camas have been leading the way since Day 1.
They hope, by the second weekend in November, they are still playing well, all the way to the final day of their state tournaments in Lacey.

Black Tea is a "true" tea made from leaves more heavily oxidized than the white, green, and oolong varieties. It is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than more lightly oxidized teas. Black tea tends to preserve its flavor for several years unlike green tea and therefore blends and mixes well with various plants in order to obtain a variety of flavors.

Gaisano Country Mall Anniversary Run set
Gaisano Country Mall will hold a running event on Oct. 13 that will serve as one of its activities for the celebration of its 20th anniversary.
The race is dubbed Gaisano Country Mall 20th Anniversary Run and will start and end at the mall's premises along Camp Lapu-Lapu road and Gov M. Cuenco Avenue in Cebu City.
Proceeds of this race will be used for an outreach program for the benefit of the Club in Unity for Restoration thru Empowerment (CURE).
The running event will be featuring 15-kilometer, 10k and 5k distances.
"We want to make this event extra special by doing it for a good cause," said Alexis Gaisano of Gaisano Country Mall during yesterday's official launching at the Light House Restaurant in Gaisano Country Mall.
Joining Gaisano were CURE's Gina Di Sarno Luague and Mitch Uy along, Gaisano Country Mall's Sheryl Sia and Charmaine Suson and race director Joel Baring of the Sports and Fitness Enthusiasts (SAFE).
CURE is hoping to raise the awareness of child trafficking and prostitution in Cebu. They are currently housing sexually abused children rescued from cyber sex dens in various places in Cebu for the past 15 years.
"We are very thankful that the organizers of this running event chose our foundation. We want to offer hollistic approach to these children and give them a chance to live a normal life," Di Sarno Luague said.
This running event was last held in 2011. It skipped last year because of lack of manpower, according to Sia.
An estimate of P70,000 worth of cash prizes await the top finishers in each category.
Registration fee is pegged at P300 for the 5k, P350 for the 10k and P500 for the 15k. Registration points are at the RUNNR Ayala Center Cebu, A Runners Circle (ARC) in Raintree Mall and Gaisano Country Mall costumer service area. The Deadline of registration will be on Oct. 12.

Autumn heatwave sets records in Australia
Published on May 18, 2014 6:55 AM
Sydney - May has so far been so warm that the authorities in Sydney are keeping outdoor swimming pools open longer than usual and at least one council is reviewing lifeguard numbers to cope with late-season beach-goers.
Along with much of south-eastern Australia, the capital of New South Wales is in the midst of an autumn heatwave that is setting records, with daily maximum temperatures 5 deg C or more above average, the Sydney Morning Herald reported yesterday.
It was a similar story in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, where last Friday's 27.4 deg C maximum was the warmest recorded for this time of year since records began more than a hundred years ago.
Tasmania's capital Hobart, with 23.9 deg C last Thursday, also set a record for this time of year.

2004 Toyota Corolla Problem Reports
Newest 2004 Toyota Corolla Problem Reports
The mass air flow sensor on higher mileage cars occasionally needs to be cleaned or replaced if sluggish acceleration is experienced or the Check Engine Light is illuminated with a mass air flow meter sensor fault code stored.
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate due to an evaporative emission (EVAP) system fault. Our technicians tell us these EVAP system faults can be difficult to diagnose but it is not uncommon to find a failed charcoal canister or a loose or worn gas cap.
The bolts attaching the front door window glass to the window regulator may come loose. This can cause the window regulator to become damaged and possibly causing the window glass to break. Some 2003 & 2004 models have been recalled for the issue.

As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

- 1766 --- After four months of widespread protest in America, the British Parliament repeals the Stamp Act, a taxation measure enacted to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. The Stamp Act was passed on March 22, 1765, leading to an uproar in the colonies over an issue that was to be a major cause of the Revolution: taxation without representation. Enacted in November 1765, the controversial act forced colonists to buy a British stamp for every official document they obtained. The stamp itself displayed an image of a Tudor rose framed by the word "America" and the French phrase Honi soit qui mal y pense--"Shame to him who thinks evil of it." The colonists, who had convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the impending enactment, greeted the arrival of the stamps with outrage and violence. Most Americans called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on the customhouses and homes of tax collectors. After months of protest, and an appeal by Benjamin Franklin before the British House of Commons, Parliament voted to repeal the Stamp Act in March 1766. However, the same day, Parliament passed the Declaratory Acts, asserting that the British government had free and total legislative power over the colonies.
- 1818 --- The U.S. Congress approved the first pensions for government service.
- 1852 --- Henry Wells and William G. Fargo join with several other investors to launch their namesake business. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 prompted a huge spike in the demand for cross-country shipping. Wells and Fargo decided to take advantage of these great opportunities. In July 1852, their company shipped its first loads of freight from the East Coast to mining camps scattered around northern California. The company contracted with independent stagecoach companies to provide the fastest possible transportation and delivery of gold dust, important documents and other valuable freight. It also served as a bank--buying gold dust, selling paper bank drafts and providing loans to help fuel California's growing economy.
- 1902 --- Enrico Caruso recorded 10 arias for the Gramophone Company. He was the first well-known performer to make a record. The recording session took place in Milan, Italy and Caruso walked away with $500 for his effort.
- 1911 --- A century ago, even before the phonograph had become a common household item, there was already a burgeoning music industry in the United States based not on the sale of recorded musical performances, but on the sale of sheet music. It was in the medium of printed paper, and not grooved lacquer or vinyl discs, that songs gained popularity in the first two decades of the 20th century, and no song gained greater popularity in that era than Irving Berlin's "Alexander's Ragtime Band." Copyrighted on March 18, 1911, "Alexander's Ragtime Band" was the multimillion-selling smash hit that helped turn American popular music into a major international phenomenon, both culturally and economically. It may seem like a rather grand claim to make about a simple, catchy tune, but then as now, simple and catchy were great virtues in the realm of pop music. Most people first encountered "Alexander's Ragtime Band" when it was played on the piano by a friend or family member. This was the way that songs caught on in the era before radio, and part of what helped "Alexander" catch on was its relative lack of complexity. Though nominally a ragtime tune, anyone who plays the piano would quickly recognize the differences between it and a true rag like Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," which places some fairly significant demands on both the left and right hand. "Alexander's Ragtime Band" is a vastly simpler piece for an amateur to master, and this greatly encouraged sheet music sales, which topped 1.5 million copies in the first 18 months after its publication.
- 1918 --- The first seagoing ship made of concrete was launched at Redwood City, CA, near San Francisco. The ship was named Faith and those who launched her had plenty of that. They had faith that the vessel wouldn't sink. It didn't. Faith cost $750,000 to build.
- 1937 --- Nearly 300 students in Texas are killed by an explosion of natural gas at their school. The Consolidated School of New London, Texas, sat in the middle of a large oil and natural gas field. The area was dominated by 10,000 oil derricks, 11 of which stood right on school grounds. The school was newly built in the 1930s for close to $1 million and, from its inception, bought natural gas from Union Gas to supply its energy needs. The school's natural gas bill averaged about $300 a month. Eventually, officials at Consolidated School were persuaded to save money by tapping into the wet-gas lines operated by Parade Oil Company that ran near the school. Wet gas is a type of waste gas that is less stable and has more impurities than typical natural gas. At the time, it was not completely uncommon for consumers living near oil fields to use this gas. At 3:05 p.m. on March 18, a Thursday afternoon, the 694 students and 40 teachers in attendance at the Consolidated School were looking forward to the final bell, which was to ring in 10 minutes. Instead, a huge and powerful explosion, which literally blew the roof off of the building, leveled the school. The blast was felt by people 40 miles away and killed most victims instantly. People rushed to the scene to pull out survivors; hundreds of injured students were hauled from the rubble. Miraculously, some students walked away unharmed; 10 of these were found under a large bookcase that shielded them from the falling building. First-aid stations were established in the nearby towns of Tyler, Overton, Kilgore and Henderson to tend to the wounded. Reportedly, a blackboard at the destroyed school was found that read, Oil and natural gas are East Texas' greatest natural gifts. Without them, this school would not be here and none of us would be learning our lessons.
- 1922 --- Mohandas K. Gandhi was sentenced to prison in India for civil disobedience.
- 1940 --- Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini held a meeting at the Brenner Pass. The Italian dictator agreed to join in Germany's war against France and Britain during the meeting.
- 1950 --- In a surprise raid on the communist People's Republic of China (PRC), military forces of the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan invade the mainland and capture the town of Sungmen. Because the United States supported the attack, it resulted in even deeper tensions and animosities between the U.S. and the PRC. In October 1949, the leader of the communist revolution in China, Mao Zedong, declared victory against the Nationalist government of China and formally established the People's Republic of China. Nationalist troops, politicians, and supporters fled the country and many ended up on Taiwan, an island off the Chinese coast. Once there, they declared themselves the real Chinese government and were immediately recognized as such by the United States. Officials from the United States refused to have anything to do with the PRC government and adamantly refused to grant it diplomatic recognition. Nationalist Chinese leader Chiang Kai-Shek bombarded the mainland with propaganda broadcasts and pamphlets dropped from aircraft signaling his intention of invading the PRC and removing what he referred to as the "Soviet aggressors." In the weeks preceding the March 18, 1950 raid, Chiang had been particularly vocal, charging that the Soviets were supplying the PRC with military advisors and an imposing arsenal of weapons. On March 18, thousands of Nationalist troops, supported by air and sea units, attacked the coast of the PRC, capturing the town of Sungmen that lay about 200 miles south of Shanghai. The Nationalists reported that they killed over 2,500 communist troops. Battles between the raiding group and communist forces continued for weeks, but eventually the Nationalist forces were defeated and driven back to Taiwan.
- 1954 --- RKO Pictures was sold for $23,489,478. It became the first motion picture studio to be owned by an individual. The person was Howard Hughes.
- 1963 --- The U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Miranda decision concerning legal council for defendants.
- 1965 --- Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first man to spacewalk when he left the Voskhod II space capsule while in orbit around the Earth. He was outside the spacecraft for about 20 minutes.

From the Publisher"The essays collected here offer important insights into the practical aspects of bringing about the liberation of people with intellectual disabilities worldwide. Most of the volume's nineteen essays attempt to place disability rights in the larger context of the international human rights movement.... the world of scholarship is better for having this globally ambitious book on the rights of people with intellectual disabilities."—The Hastings Center Report
"In summary, this collection is indeed a fitting tribute to Stanley Herr and is an important and needed addition to the literature of human rights. It is hoped that academics will incorporate at least some of the contributions into their reading lists"—The Law and Politics Book Review
"For generations, persons with intellectual disabilities have too often been the invisible minority: scorned, ignored , hidden from the world. This landmark volume demonstrates that a new era of respect, support, and opportunity has begun. These essays by acknowledged world leaders on human rights and intellectual disabilities emphasize the importance of effective action by all nations to protect these basic rights by implementing fair and sensible social policies."—Edward M. Kennedy, United States Senator from Massachusetts
