White House pressed to fix 'broken' declassification system
The Public Interest Declassification Board wants high-level attention to address ever-increasing shortcomings in the way agencies classify and declassify documents. The system is considered by many broken and now is being inundated by electronic records. The National Declassification Center has completed equity referral quality assurance on 278 million pages, and completed all processing of more than 118 million pages of this backlog.

Declassification board 'agitates' for changes to document management
The Public Interest Declassification Board submitted 14 recommendations to President Barack Obama at the end of November. The suggestions cover everything from moving out of the three-tiered classification system to a two-tiered process to strengthening the National Archives and Records Administration's National Declassification Center to giving federal employees "safe harbor" protection if they adhere to a rigorous risk management process in how they perform their classification duties.

NARA declassification chief tackles backlog
For years, a huge backlog of government agency documents in need of declassification has piled up at the National Archives and Records Administration. Now, however, a woman whose name is familiar in the federal declassification community is on board at NARA, taking the first steps toward whittling away at that backlog of 410 million pages of documents by a seemingly impossible deadline set in the law.

New York Mayor orders city evacuation over hurricane
Published on Oct 28, 2012 11:50 PM
NEW YORK (AFP) - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg today ordered the evacuation of 375,000 people in low-lying areas threatened by Hurricane Sandy.
"This is a serious and dangerous storm," Mr Bloomberg told a news conference as he ordered the mandatory evacuation ahead of the storm which is expected to start hitting tomorrow.
Tens of millions of people in the eastern third of the U.S. in the path of a massive freak storm have braced for the first raindrops that were expected later in the day, to be followed over the next few days by sheets of rain, high winds and even heavy snow.
The warning from officials to anyone who might be affected was simple: Be prepared and get out of the way.

Low ceiling and small space
We just bought a house in MI and our upstairs is only about 6'. It is also a very small space you walk up and there is a landing and then a room, but there is no door to the room. We are trying to possibly make two bedrooms, but we are having trouble trying to figure out how to do this any ideas or help would be great.
Give a call to your local Building Department to keep people safe in those bedrooms: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=...1txlzU01V4JQIg
I would post this subject in Carpentry, building & Construction, Remodeling or one of a few other categories rather than roofing.
I think you'll get better responses there.

Home / Physical Preparation : Planning for Performance
Knowledge level:
Article posted: 07/08/2013
Andrew Gillott is one of the UK's top performance cycling coaches. He is employed by the UK's key sports agency to increase the knowledge and support around elite athletes in all major sports. He is also a technical expert for the UCI. In this article, Andrew looks at what happens when you miss training sessions, and the feeling of panic that can set in that all your training will be wasted.
Someone clever once said, "Good habits are worth being fanatical about" and I can't think of any field of human endeavour that this fits better than sport. A routine of training sessions, nutrition timing, recovery sessions, foam-rolling and habitual bedtimes can indeed turn fanatical and perhaps that is why it's not uncommon for cyclists to freak out when they miss a training session.
You can only miss something that you planned, so perhaps you simply shouldn't have planned a session on that particular day.
I have discussed, in a previous article how you can rearrange sessions throughout the week to maximise the potential of the workouts available to you, but the biggest fear amongst cyclists, particularly endurance cyclists, is the lack of fitness that results from missing a training session. I have met the odd laid-back soul who declares that it won't make any difference (that isn't exactly the case). In most cases however, missing a session elicits a response closer to "...that's it; I'll have to start all over again..." Fortunately, this isn't the case either.
Hard-earned 'fitness' deteriorates at different rates. I have discussed VO2 Max and Lactate Threshold recently and you'll understand that these are important elements of your on-the-bike fitness that you should protect at all costs. Generally speaking, you will need to take a break from training of up to two weeks to see really significant decreases (as much as 20%) in your VO2 Max and a little less time than this for Lactate Threshold. Over the period of a couple of weeks you will also experience hormonal and enzymatic changes and your body will begin to 'switch back' to burning a little more carbohydrate and a little less fat as its preference.
The most immediate effects are a reduction in your blood volume, which noticeably falls within just a couple of days. As a result, your heart pumps less blood every beat, every minute and this is the reason why you feel 'unfit' after even a short break from training.
Of course, these more dramatic changes are the result of an extended break from training and missing just one session in the week will have a physiological impact that you will be unable to detect. In fact, if there is such a thing as an 'average cyclist', and you are anything like them, then I expect you will benefit from the extra rest day!
It's possible that taking a break for two or three days may require you to take it a bit easier when you return to training than you had planned, particularly with harder intervals where you might have to take a step back in duration or intensity before gradually progressing again.
I have said it before but under no circumstances should you try to cram in training when you miss a session, or when you are pushed for time – it just eats in to your rest and recovery. A well known coach told me once about a Masters rider that she was coaching who on the face of it was managing to complete all of his mid-week two or three hour maintenance rides. It was to her horror that she discovered that to do so, he was getting up before 04:00am to ride before work...
Recovery is your most valuable weapon and giving it away can only result in further missed sessions sometime down the line. So just don't.
Breaking the habit
I think this may have the potential to be the biggest impact of missing just one or two sessions. Someone else clever once said "A man who wants to do something will find a way; a man who doesn't will find an excuse." It takes real discipline and commitment to stick to a training plan and if you miss a session, it's not uncommon for that break in the habit to put you in to a tail-spin. Remember all the hard work you've put in so far? Do you really want to go through that all over again?
Making a plan
Of course, life is wonderfully unpredictable and you can't avoid missing the occasional session but if you are frequently missing sessions then it's time to ask yourself why. After all, you can only miss something that you planned, so perhaps you simply shouldn't have planned a session on that particular day. If you aren't fortunate enough to have a coach then it falls to you to make realistic decisions about your training load, taking in to account the multitude of other commitments that you have.
If the volume of training looks right, then is there enough variation to keep you interested and motivated? Are you really enjoying it? Is it fun? Consider taking some professional advice as my experience is that when riders enjoy their training schedule and they are seeing continual improvements, they don't regularly miss sessions.
Regularly missing sessions can also be a sign of over-training, fatigue or that you feel 'stale'. If you think this may be the case for you, take a complete break from training for a week, revaluate your goals and make a new plan. Again, I would suggest that you seek professional advice if you don't already have a coach.
To summarise, missing training sessions occasionally is inevitable and won't have any discernible impact in the short-term; don't let a missed session become an excuse for missing another; if you are regularly missing sessions then it may be time to have a re-think. Or to put it another way, keep calm and carry on.

Though it's uncommon, some Contract Specialists move into roles as Senior Contracts Managers, where pay is an average $107K per year. The most common promotion for Contract Specialists is Contracts Manager, a position that typically pays $78K annually. Another standard transition for Contract Specialists seeking advancement is to assume a Contract Administrator role, where pay is often $51K.
U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force (USAF), Department of Veteran's Affairs, U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. Navy are all popular places to work. Those at U.S. General Services Administration can expect to make the most, with the company offering a median salary of $76K.
Employees of U.S. Department of Defense can expect to make the least, with the company offering a median salary of $50K; however, pay is widely dispersed from top to bottom, ranging from $36K to $99K.
Survey results imply that Contract Specialists deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Procurement, Negotiation, Contract Negotiation, and Legal Compliance are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 12 percent and 17 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Excel and Customer Service. For most people, competency in Contract Management indicates knowledge of Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Contract Specialists do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $53K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $63K. Contract Specialists with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $64K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $77K.
For Contract Specialists, working in the bustling city of Washington has its advantages, including an above-average pay rate. Contract Specialists will also find cushy salaries in New York (+19 percent), San Diego (+16 percent), Los Angeles (+15 percent), and Atlanta (+15 percent). With compensation 14 percent below the national average, San Antonio is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Raleigh (14 percent lower) and Chicago (6 percent lower).

There are two things that everyone needs before stepping out onto the range — eyes and ears. Over the years I've amassed quite the collection of shooting glasses. Everything from the standard run of the mill plastic to the specs with anti-fog polarized lenses.
When it comes to hearing protection, however, I've always stuck with what ever the range had to offer. Sometimes that meant ear muffs and sometimes that meant foam. After being prodded by a colleague, I decided it was time for a more permanent solution.
Earinc/Insta-Mold was one of the many vendors onsite at the Great American Outdoor Hunting and Outdoor Show. Fresh off a week at SHOT Show where they produced more than five hundred sets of hearing protection onsite for patrons, they were more than happy to provide that solution for me there in Frederick, Maryland.
I'll be taking my new custom fit ears out for their first spin this weekend at the Skip J Range in Anderson, South Carolina. But before that happens, I'll take you through the process, step by step, of what it takes to get your own set of Insta-Mold ears.
And if you're wondering what that little ball is on the left hand side of the picture, that's the left over silicone mold. Hearing protection and a custom made super ball too ... how's that for a deal?

The first trailer for one of the most anticipated made-for-TV movies ever, Liz & Dick, has been released. It's a "teaser." That about sums it up.
At 15 seconds in length, it's probably over quicker than it took you to read that last sentence.
With filming wrapped up a few weeks ago, it's time to see at least a peek of what's in store for anyone who actually cares.
So what amazing montage of shots did they put together of Lindsay Lohan portraying the glamorous Elizabeth Taylor?
They didn't. Unless the definition of "montage" has changed to "still shot" without someone telling me.
The "trailer" is the exact same pic they've been using to promote the film for months – the one with LiLo sitiing in a red dress, and a fur something draped across her lap.
They do get a little fancy throwing in some overly dramatic piano notes and a pan to some titles that read:
"Lindsay Lohan is Elizabeth Taylor" then, "Liz & Dick Coming This Fall"
The end.
So after months of speculation as to whether Lohan was the right choice, then hundreds of articles and photos charting her every breath during the four weeks of filming which included a highway wreck with an 18 wheeler, some indecent exposure, a settlement of an old news lawsuit, potential insurance fraud and a pretty boring 26th birthday celebration – this is what we get?
The trailer aired for the first time last night during the season premiere of "Project Runway."
Liz & Dick premieres on the ever elusive date of "This Fall."

Taylor relates her journey in Dogfight--from awkward date tortured in early '60s fashion to confident and principled rule-breaker--via the set of her shoulders, the tension around her eyes. And River Phoenix, as a callow Marine experiencing unexpected yearnings, physically mocks and tantalizes her in a complicated skirmish of yielding. For all its amateurish montage and soundbite politics, Dogfight represents Taylor's one great (little) movie. (And in this I include Short Cuts, which is not Taylor's movie to carry--and not holding up well over time, either.) The greatness of Dogfight may lie in the fact that, with Phoenix, Taylor has a combatant up to her challenge, one as committed as she is to fooling with gender and enacting transformation. Thanks to Savoca as well, Dogfight tracks a meeting of subjects, neither one of them the distanced symbol of something lost or escaped from: partners, as they must be, in change.

It is never too late to pursue a hobby again, especially if you have set goals for yourself and are ready to learn from your critics. That, perhaps, is why P. Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Jeevan Blood Bank and Research Centre, and his photographs are to be watched out for. Right from his home page www.natureimages.in to the assignments he has set for himself, Dr. Srinivasan gives one enough reasons to believe he is a photographer raring to go. Hetalks to Liffy Thomas about the "dormant bug" that woke up in his mid-50s and his photographs that go for a cause.
"I lost 20 years of photography as my professional commitments were demanding, but now I want to make upfor the lost days," says P. Srinivasan, going through images of animals and birds he captured, all in action. It was in his teenage days that he first held a box camera and spent time learning the art in a local studio. The interest continued until his post-graduation days, but slipped into hibernation from 1988. However, 2008 was turning point as the shutterbug in him got smitten again. "My well-wishers from the Photographic Society of Madras pursued me to restart my hobby. Now, one week in a month I am in the wild," he says. The keen trekker has over 10,000 images in his archives.
All the striking nature photographs in his collection also contribute to a cause. Dr. Srinivasan is donating the proceeds collected through the sale of print images to the Jeevan Blood Bank for the 'Make Blood Free' programme, which supports children with cancer and thalassemia.
Before the end of the year, Dr. Srinivasan has also taken up three important tasks to complete. He is working on two coffee table books on photography, plans to conduct an exhibition of his works and acquire a formal qualification in photography. A photo series on beaks is also on his list.
Also keeping him going are the two laurels he received last year.
The Photographic Society of America published his photograph 'Bea-eater' in their journals. Yet another 'Bea-eater flying in air' won the first prize in the nature category at the National Photo Salon. There are more prizes in the offing too.

The Ghetto Film School of the South Bronx
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Guests:Maurice Marable, Alma Osorio and George Velez
Comments [2]
I think the name is great… it's a play on the word "ghetto." I first heard about this school when I read a piece on it in the Times last year. Here is a little history:
When The Ghetto Film School was conceived, the school's founder Joe Hall had asked a group of neighborhood students what they sought in a free film school. The overwhelming answer was that they wanted to be challenged. The students he spoke to felt that many non-profit organizations in their area, tended to focus on stereotypical "problems" that reinforce negative perceptions about teenagers. One student said "I want to be challenged, it's not like I want some ghetto film School," and with that, the name was born.
Also, it stands out…you won't ever forget the name.
That name really sucks. This trivializes these people.

I will say this, I have a shadow priest on Baelgun name Blarf in the 40s bracket. He can do amazing things with his power. I can take on 4 or 5 and keep them busy till the flag carrier is safe. I will die but I will take down two with me and the others will be damaged very badly from my dots. They better not get in a fight right after me or they will die quickly.
Here is one example. I destroyed a pally that was a 49 and I am a 48. He never had a chance. I dot him up, vamperic embrace and fear him. While he is feared I spam mana burn. By the time he gets back he has half health and 3/4 his mana left. With my healing and another fear he is toast.
I also got jumped by a 46 priest. I was giving BG directions while on the horde's ramp. He dotted me up, popped me twice with smite and mind blast. I had 3/4 my health left. Then he feared me. Once I was done feared I had 200 HP left but that priest didn't know how to conserve mana. He was laughing at me and spitting at me when he thought he had a easy kill of a priest two levels above him. LOL Here is where it went wrong for him. I feared him, dotted him up and vanperic embraced him to get HP back. I healed my self to full health threw on gift of the naruu and symbol of hope to get more mana back. Then I went into shadow form and he shat a brick. He tried to run but I blasted him two times with mind blast and mind flayed him one time and he was dead. That made me really happy.
Ok one more story. I got on the boat in BB to go to Tanaris. A lvl 40 pally challenges me to a duel on the boat. First off I hate people who spam dueling challenges, it pisses me off. Secondly NEVER challenge a shadow priest on a boat. I wait till he hammer of GAYNESS stuns me, then I mind controled him and threw his arss off the boat. We were just before the screen load so he was way out in the water. LOL! He was swearing at me for 5 minutes or so it seemed. LOL I told him I hated pallies and he should never duel priests on boats.
Hahahaha great! I have a priest alt and I used to MC people into the lava before BWL
The only class I can't stand in any way shape or form is Paladin. With my main (warrior) who is pretty darn well geared (months of Kara and SSC) I cant handle an epic paladin who happens to know how to play. It's the most frustrating thing I have experienced in the game. Their health pool, huge damage reduction through armor, resilience rating, bubble, heals and crazy burst dps are just absurd. It's even worse with my rogue where it's hard to even put a dent in their health bar.
Druids are a pain in the ass too. As soon as they shift to bear form and happen to have a healer nearby its just game over. At least I can demolish oomkin. Dueling a mage iis akin to a sherry enema. No thanks.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Improbable tasks and bizarre actions abound. While the audience is assembling, Jasperse is lying onstage on his back, feet in the air, beneath a hanging made of orange electrical cord. He's knitting with his legs. Knitting (or crocheting) must also be the source of a smooth leg-phrase that Gonzalez and Hullihan execute while seated against the back wall and that Hullihan later repeats leaning against a mattress braced by others from behind. When Boulé and Hullihan crash into the mattress and hurl each other violently against it, the last of the plastic bottles they've stuffed under their T-shirts fall out. Amid such sights as the three men tumbling in zany, possibly dangerous configurations onto a semi-deflated beanbag chair (and then Jasperse wandering around blindly with the thing on his head), there's plenty of dancing.
What's definitely not left over or discarded are the terrific performers and the movements that Jasperse, with their help, has devised. Still, when two or four of them tangle, I can imagine I'm seeing the initial knitting ingeniously recycled. One person may keep kicking another lightly to turn him or her to a more accommodating angle, and their limbs and torsos loop around and over those of their partners with a kind of dogged, harum-scarum slipperinessas if they're making something together but don't know what it is.
Once Hullihan enters with a carton, upends it to disgorge the beanbag, and puts the carton over Jasperse's head. He stands a moment, then bends over to slip the carton off. In sync, the two of them shove the objects forward a bit. After the men have had their game with the squishy chair, Jasperse stuffs it back in the carton and briefly plunges his head in after it. There's something forlorn about the often futile efforts they all make throughout the piece to use what they find and tidy up after themselves. Parkins embeds sounds of plastic crunching, glass breaking, and knitting needles clacking together into her score, and its occasional deep roars, screeches, and melancholy tootlings conjure up a wasteland.
I didn't know that "It takes twice as much water to manufacture a plastic water bottle as can be contained in that same bottle." The gap that Jasperse mentions between celebrities' inflated earnings and what dancers make may surprise some, but we know all too well the disparity between what our government spends on making war and what it spends on preserving the environment and enabling art like this.

Smart choice.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been seeing a lot of people comparing this to the Petzl GriGri, but this isn't really fair because this device is not designed to be fully-locking; it actually just holds the majority of the climbers weight.
But I'll compare anyway since I've used both. For sport climbing this works BETTER than a GriGri in my opinion, because it feeds rope a lot easier and locks almost just as well. To feed rope there is no need to unlock the device because there are no moving parts like with the GriGri; you just push it forward with your thumb and pull out rope with the guide hand. (this actually makes it easier to feed rope than with and ATC)
The locking is very effective. My rope is a 10.2mm and I've also used this with 9.8 and 10.5mm ropes, and for these it holds about 90-95% of the climbers weight.
The amount of rope slippage obviously depends on the weight of the climber and the thickness of the rope, but since I never use thin ropes or belay fast-food eaters it always locks up fine.
Lowering for the first time with this thing was a little jerky though. The trick is the push it away horizontally instead of pulling it up vertically, and then there's the "sweet spot" that lowers the climber smoothly. Takes a little getting used to (3 times for me) and then there's no problem with this.
Overall, this device is awesome. The only thing I think a GriGri would be better for is toproping, although the Smart still works great for that. For lowering, both took me about the same amount of time to learn to control properly, so I wouldn't consider this to be an issue.
This also comes in a 2-rope version which can be used for other things including rappelling. (There are 2 of these for different rope diameters).
Here's a URL for Mammut's video that shows how to use the Smart:

text: Interesting. At the time that Game Fee came in, Essex decided that it would largely piggy back off this by charging clubs a higher rate than the ECF rate. However, it was always considered desirable to retain the concept of individual membership, so that it was clear who was entitled to turn up and vote at the AGM, even though the membership fee was initially set at a nominal £1.Locally we dropped charging for individual membership of the county association shortly after Game Fee came in. So the county charges entry fees at club and team level. It was pointless once the BCF had dropped any requirement to collect per head and it saved administration by removing a county post. If it had ever been necessary to define exactly who was an individual member, it would have been anyone who had played in the league, the individual competition or for the county in a county match.

For months, South Carolina Govenor Nikki Haley begged for the National Labor Relations Board to back off her state and allow Boeing to create thousands of manufacturing jobs. At the time, the NLRB was suing and had the full support of President Obama to stop the plant because South Carolina is a right to work state. Now, Obama is touting the plant as an example of successful manufacturing in the United States. Joel Gehrke has more:
President Obama rallied with union workers at a Boeing plant in Washington, but he praised the manufacturing conducted by Boeing in South Carolina, even though his National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) tried to close the South Carolina plant at the behest of the Washington union workers.
"This company is a great example of what American manufacturing can do in a way that nobody else in the world can do it," Obama told the assembled workers this afternoon at the Everett, Wash., Boeing plant. "And the impact of your success, as I said, goes far beyond the walls of this plant. Every Dreamliner that rolls off the assembly line here in Everett supports thousands of jobs in different industries all across the country. Parts of the fuselage are manufactured in South Carolina and Kansas," Obama noted before mentioning factories in other states.
The NLRB tried to close that South Carolina plant, though, after union workers in Washington argued that Boeing had built the new factory in the South Carolina -- which is a right to work state -- in retaliation against the Machinist Union strikes that had slowed production in Washington state. The NLRB dropped the complaint in December after Boeing signed a new contract with the machinists

Nanni Moretti is a filmmaker as well regarded in Italy as Woody Allen is in the United States. Their movies are somewhat similar: autobiographical examinations of life and death, sidetracked by comedy. But just as Allen's films have not traveled especially well to Europe, so Moretti has not done well in America. "Caro Diario" is the first of his eight films to get much of a release in this country, helped by its award for best director at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
One wonders to what degree the award was inspired by the special nature of the film's content. Toward the end of the movie we discover that Moretti suffered for a year from a skin rash, which finally was diagnosed as cancer-related, and that after doctors told him he would not survive the disease, he did. Moretti doesn't tell the story as a bid for sympathy - nothing is farther from his style - but it works that way anyway, and the effect of "Caro Diario" is a little like the famous cover that said: "Buy this magazine or we'll shoot this dog." As he shows himself in this film, Moretti is sort of a holy fool, a man blessed with a sweet temper and a childlike curiosity, who wanders through Rome encountering the delightful and the terrifying, more or less in the same spirit.
The movie (which translates as "Dear Diary") is divided into three segments. In the first, he tours Rome on his Vespa scooter, talking to us, and to people he meets on the streets, about the things on his mind.
One thing he thinks a lot about is the movies. He loves "Flashdance" and is delighted to encounter its star, Jennifer Beals, with her husband, Alexandre Rockwell. They discuss notions of the "whimsical," while all the time Moretti remains blissfully unaware that, for them, his character is clearly all too whimsical. Then Moretti moves on, observing that in summer all the Roman cinemas show nothing but horror and pornography. He goes to see "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer," cannot imagine how it got good reviews, and in a fantasy sequence confronts the critic who wrote a rave and reads it to him, over and over again.
At the end of the first section, Moretti visits the barren urban wasteland where the director Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered in 1975. Oddly, he never states why he wants to visit the site, or what he thinks or learns there; we simply regard the killing ground, and think our own thoughts, which may be informed by our knowledge that Pasolini was killed by a deranged gay lover.
The second section of the film takes place on an island near Sicily, where Moretti meets a friend who has never watched TV. Soon the friend is addicted to American soap operas, and can talk of nothing else while climbing the local mountain. Maybe this is another reflection on the way mass media is cheapening our lives. Maybe not.
"Caro Diario" is like a sketchbook that shows us what its creator saw, but not always what he thought.
The third section deals with the skin rash and its aftermath. Consistent with the sweet tone of the entire film, Moretti does not turn this into a harrowing docudrama, but simply shows himself subjected to one ineffective treatment after another - massage, diet, herbs, electro-acupuncture - before a spot on his lung is finally diagnosed as the origin of his problem, which is Hodgkin's lymphoma.
This is one of those curious films before which the viewer is struck dumb. To describe it is to question and praise it - at one and the same time. I enjoyed the time I spent with Moretti, much as I might enjoy sitting next to an interesting stranger on an airplane, and hearing about his life. He left me with the impression that he is an amusing person, and a good one. If I don't encounter him again for awhile, I'll be able to live with that.

NASCAR Sprint Cup 2010 Schedule
Racing's four wheeled Olympics, also known as tThe NASCAR Sprint Cup is here. After last weekend's Daytona 500, here are the initial standings for this years races.
1. Jamie McMurray
2. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
3. Greg Biggle
4. Clint Bowyer
5. David Reutimann
6. Martin Truex Jr.
7. Kevin Harvick
8. Matt Kenseth
The season is just gearing up. Find out more about the scheduled races for the rest of the season after the jump.
Nielsen ratings for the week ending February 17
Here are the weekly TV ratings, by number of viewers.
There's good news and bad news about this list. The good news is that we live in a world where a great show like Lost, now in its fourth season and in a new time slot, can still come in at #4. The same thing with 60 Minutes, which has been on forever. The bad news? We live in a world where Deal Or No Deal takes up three of the top twenty spots (including two in the top ten). Ugh.
1. American Idol - Tues (FOX)
2. American Idol - Weds (FOX)
Kelly Clarkson signs with...NASCAR
The relationship kicks off February 18th with Clarkson headlining the NEXTEL Tribute To America, live on Fox, before the Daytona 500. The commercial will combine race footage with Clarkson's performance and feature a song from her upcoming third album. She's in good company working with NASCAR. Other musicians that have been part of the promo series include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jewel, Lenny Kravitz, Leann Rimes, and Sheryl Crow.
NASCAR is back
Have you been sitting there on your couch thinking, "Good grief, it's January 7th already, when is NASCAR going to start?" Well, if you have, you need to find a couple more hobbies, but the good news is that the Speed channel is kicking off its NASCAR season this week with NASCAR Preseason Thunder. The season just gets longer and longer.
They will be covering Nextel Cup testing at Daytona. You can get a schedule of the shows on the Speed website. The actual race isn't until February 18th, but Speed knows where their bread is buttered. NASCAR is to them like the football team is to Notre Dame. It pays for everything else.
My early season predictions are for Jimmy Johnson and Tony Stewart to come out strong. Denny Hamlin will prove that last season wasn't a fluke. Kurt Busch will be back in the hunt now that the #2 team has had a season to gel. The #24 team will remain inconsistent, possibly leading Jeff Gordon to fire his crew chief. Robbie Gordon will crash some people, but it won't be his fault. And Michael Waltrip will continue to get all kinds of camera time despite never even getting a whiff of being competitive.

Handling my DF feels just perfect. Everything goes where it should be.
It is pretty compact. Here Nikon's long experience shows.
The problems arise when it comes delivering results.
>>High quality JPEG images with pleasant color at default settings?
Nikon never had a good jpeg engine. And I can confirm what the review samples show: Horrible JPEGS with noise from ISO 3200 onwards.
My Fuji X.E1 and now X-E2 make much more pleasant JPEGS and is up to ISO 6400 practically noise free. Auto ISO works here pretty well.
With RAW processing everything will be likely much better.
An a low light sensor with a autofocus system that only works in bright sunlight makes no sense at all. At the Christmas market the Df was hunting focus all the time while my X-E2 can focus pretty well in the dark.
While manual controls often help a lot the controls Nikon screwed on top are useless gimmicks. E.g. setting the shutter dial does not turn on S-mode.

Bush and Putin Share Little Common Ground Before G-8 Meeting
By Sheryl Gay Stolberg and David E. Sanger
At a moment of rising tensions between Washington and Moscow, President George W. Bush and President Vladimir Putin of Russia appear likely to use a summit meeting in Germany this week to focus on the one area where they appear to share a common interest: Slowing Iran's ability to produce nuclear fuel. (International Herald Tribune)
How the Mighty are Falling
They are beginning to fall like ninepins. On Monday June 4th the trial began in The Hague of Charles Taylor, Liberia's former president and Africa's most famous warlord. He is accused of planning and financing horrific crimes committed during Sierra Leone's brutal civil war in the 1990s. Mr Taylor showed his disdain for the process by boycotting the start of the trial. A few days earlier, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia announced the arrest on genocide charges of a former Bosnian Serb general, Zdravko Tolimir, one of the most wanted war-crimes fugitives in the Balkans. These are just the latest examples of a flurry activity by the institutions of international justice. (The Economist)
Muzzling the Press
By M Ismail Khan
Imagine, millions of people, who have been content with watching dramatic political events from their TV rooms, forced to hit the road to catch a glimpse of Chief Justice Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry in person. Imagine the kind of energy and potential chaos this would create in the streets if people who up till now have been patiently following the report and analysis on their TV screens turn in to a mob expressing its opinion through bricks and sticks like the Lal Masjid brigade. Imagine – well imagination is what one needs in understanding the delicate relationship between politics and media in the age of YouTube. (Daily Jang)
Peace not Bombs
By Ahmed Abdel-Halim
Peace and security in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a political settlement, a suitable level of economic cooperation, and even-handed security measures. For that to happen, we need to address current nuclear programmes in the region and build momentum towards the Middle East being declared an area free of all weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear arms.

Dr. Kevorkian's Wrong Way
Dr. Jack Kevorkian — a k a "Doctor Death" for helping chronically ill and terminally ill patients commit suicide — has emerged from prison as deluded and unrepentant as ever. Brushing aside criticism by other supporters of medically assisted suicide that his tactics were reckless and harmful to their cause, Dr. Kevorkian asserted: "I did it right. I didn't care what they did or didn't do. When I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right." (NY Times)
The JFK Airport Plot and the Caribbean Connection
U.S. and Guyanese authorities were still searching June 4 for a fourth suspect wanted in connection with an alleged plot to blow up jet fuel pipelines and storage tanks at New York's John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport. Although a serious flaw in the plot made the threat far smaller than the suspects apparently planned, the case does highlight the link between jihadism and the Caribbean islands -- and the effectiveness of jihadist propaganda.
