Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour 2009 - Radio Support Ops Needed
|Canada's National Amateur Radio Society
|"We're ALL about Amateur Radio!"
Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour 2009 - Radio Support Ops Needed
Looking for volunteer radio operators to assist in providing radio support for this event. The RLCT has been run annually for over 25 years by the Ottawa Bicycle Club. It involves over 2000 cyclists, riding from Carleton University to Queens University and back in one weekend, a one way distance of 177 km! Amateur radio teams from Ottawa, and the Lanark and Frontenac ARES groups have been providing support along the entire route providing vital linkages between various checkpoints, support vehicles, and to engage emergency services to deal with accidents and incidents, of which there are, unfortunately, several every year.
Operators will be deployed from Carleton University west to Blacks Corners, south of Carleton Place. All operations are done using 2 metres. Experience is not necessary.
Newcomers are welcome. Anyone interested, please contact Gordon Mein, VE3FRB at: <email@example.com>.

Product Description
The Catholic Church is in crisis, but, according to Fox, all is not lost. This crisis may offer an opportunity to press the "restart" button on Christianity. He reminds us of what Carl Jung once said, " 'Only the mystics bring what is creative to religion itself.' That is what Jesus did, what Buddha did, what Isaiah did. They are shaking up their own religious tradition. We are all living in this moment now in history, where we are called to do this. It can be done, and it can be both serious and fun." Fox, a former Dominican Priest, now an Episcopal Priest, shares his understanding of how the Catholic Church has been hijacked by Opus Dei, as led by the present Pope Benedict XVI , formerly known as Cardinal Ratzinger. Opus Dei's members have been categorized by critics as right-leaning elitists, with some individuals supporting fascist governments and the silencing of Liberation theologians. Fox goes on to share his enthusiasm for the Christian mystics, and suggests that now is time to reinvent Christianity. (hosted by Michael Toms)
Matthew Fox, Ph.D., is an internationally acclaimed spiritual theologian, an Episcopal priest, and an activist who was a member of the Dominican Order for 34 years. He holds a doctorate, summa cum laude, in the History and Theology of Spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris. He has collaborated with Anglican youth to form the "Techno-Cosmic Mass." He is founder of the Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality for seven years at Mundelein College in Chicago and twelve years at Holy Names College in Oakland, CA. For ten of those years at Holy Names College, Cardinal Ratzinger – former Pope Benedict XVI – tried to shut the program down; finally forcing him to step down as director and then expelling Fox from the Order. Fox then started his own University, University of Creation Spirituality. He is the recipient of the Abbey Courage of Conscience Peace Award (other recipients being the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Ernest Cardenal and Rosa Parks).
His books include:
- Original Blessing: A Primer in Creation Spirituality Presented in Four Paths, Twenty-Six Themes, and Two Questions (Jeremy Tarcher/Putnam 2000)
- Confessions: The Making of a Postdenominational Priest (HarperSanFrancisco 1996)

Movin' on up: Tips for making the jump from GS to SES
Friday - 3/2/2012, 5:45pm EST
Many of the federal government's top managers in the Senior Executive Service are preparing to retire, which means openings in the SES ranks.
Tim McManus, vice president for education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss tips for making the switch.
McManus shared tips for the those in the General Schedule system looking to move up as well as tips for managers cultivating the next crop of leaders.
The Partnership, along with McKinsey & Company, released a report this week that found a lack of movement in the SES ranks. In fact, the report stated, nearly half of SESers had never changed positions, which stands in contrast to what Congress intended when the SES was launched more than 30 years ago.

Turkey edges nearer to buffer zone for Syrians
ISTANBUL Events are pushing Turkey ever closer to setting up a buffer zone in Syria to protect civilians.
Turkish officials have long been hesitant about the idea, even while the U.N. reported that thousands of Syrians were being killed as President Bashar Assad's forces crush dissent.
But on Monday, a Turkish official indicated that a surge of refugees from Syria might compel Turkey, preferably with international backing, to establish a buffer zone on Syrian soil to guarantee the security of its own southern border as well as the welfare of civilians fleeing violence.
"This is just an option. Nothing has been decided so far," the official told journalists on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Turkey already shelters 17,000 Syrians in refugee camps, and the official did not say how many more refugees might constitute a tipping point.
But there are a host of factors for Turkey to worry about.
A safe zone would necessarily involve Turkish security forces and involve the potential for clashes with neighboring Syrian troops.
Establishing a buffer zone on the grounds of Turkish national security would sidestep the gridlock now immobilizing the U.N. Security Council, where Russia and China have blocked action against the Assad's regime.
But the move would likely lack international consensus, raise questions about Syria's territorial integrity and highlight a year of failed diplomacy aimed at pressuring Assad to stop his violent crackdown.
This potential game-changer could undermine Assad by setting the stage for full-fledged intervention by foreign militaries, as was done in Libya. But it could also trigger sectarian or regional strife that Turkey and its Western and Arab allies would struggle to control.
Turkey has done this before, in 1991, when it set up a buffer zone to deal with hundreds of thousands of Kurdish refugees flooding over the border from Iraq during dictator Saddam Hussein's war with a U.S.-led coalition.
The Turkish official referred to the possibility of "a huge influx like we faced in the first Gulf War" or suggested that demand for a buffer zone could be triggered by a sharp upswing in atrocities in Syria, such as "massacres by hundreds a day."
"Nobody knows what would happen in such an eventuality," the official said.
So far, Turkey has handled the stream of refugees from Syria in an orderly way, setting up camps and issuing IDs to allow refugees some freedom of movement outside their temporary homes.
However, the number of refugees, which had stabilized at around 7,500 two months ago, has since climbed by another 10,000 as Syrian forces moved to dislodge rebels and occupy towns near the border with Turkey. Last week, about 1,000 Syrians crossed into Turkey in one 24-hour period.
"The insecurity in Syria is directly affecting us," the Turkish official said.
The Turkish Red Crescent has warned that, in a worst-case scenario, up to 500,000 Syrians could attempt to enter Turkey. The two countries share a 911-kilometer (566-mile) border that has minefields in some areas.

The shared L1 cache is causing cross invalidations across threads so that the prefetch data is incorrect in too many cases and data must be fetched again. The fix is a "simple" memory alignment and (possible)tagging system in the kernel of Windows/Linux.
I reviewed the code for the Linux patch and was astonished by just how little I know of the Linux kernel... lol! In any event, it could easily cost 10% in terms of single threaded performance, possibly more than double that in multi-threaded loads on the same module due to the increased contention and randomness of accesses.
Basically a bug in the two cores sharing one L1 cache, and the operating system not understanding it, so it has to fetch the data twice most of the time.

A suit and tie is suitable and usual in suicide
from Kendrick Lamar – Rigamortus Lyrics on Genius
Going against Kendrick is suicide since there is no opposition to his skill. By going against Kendrick you're walking into your own funeral so you should wear appropriate clothing hence the suit and tie.
A suit and tie is "suitable" using the word suit twice, clever wordplay (well let's be honest, Barney did it first)
Suit and tie is suitable — he's referencing broke stock brokers jumping off tall buildings and commiting suicide becasue they believe their lives are over.

Many people mistakenly assume cardiac arrest and heart attack are the same thing. However, sudden cardiac arrest is not a heart attack. In fact, there are distinguishable differences between the two that are best explained by detailing what is actually happening when someone is suffering from either one.
What happens during a heart attack?
During a coronary attack, or heart attack, blockage occurs in one or more of the heart's arteries. That blockage subsequently prevents the heart from receiving enough oxygen-rich blood.
According to the American Heart Association's Web site www.heart.org, the buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances create plaque in the arteries, making blood flow slower.
"When a plaque in a heart artery breaks, a blood clot forms around the plaque," states the site. "This blood clot can block the artery and shut off blood flow to the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is starved for oxygen and nutrients, it is called ischemia."
When damage to the heart muscle happens from ischemia, that is when a heart attack can occur.
Research indicates many people with symptoms of a heart attack actually delay seeking treatment for more than two hours.
In a 2010 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers found the average delay in arriving at the hospital after the start of a heart attack was roughly two and a half hours. Eleven percent of the more than 100,000 cases examined in the study waited more than 12 hours from the start of symptoms before seeking treatment. Those symptoms can include chest discomfort, shortness of breath and discomfort in other areas of the body that do no improve after five minutes.
What happens during cardiac arrest?
When a person is experiencing cardiac arrest, their heart's electrical system is malfunctioning and suddenly becomes irregular. The heart begins to beat very fast while the ventricles may flutter or quiver. Blood is not being delivered to the body during cardiac arrest, and a genuine fear is that blood flow to the brain will be reduced so drastically a person may lose consciousness.

How often does Solaris release desktop distros? Are you serious? Fedora is a community driven project. The community decides the direction it wants the distribution to go. And it is also true that Fedora is upstream to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. However even RHEL is not server-only. RHEL also makes a great desktop client in an environment where long term support is needed. Also: I _want_ to use Fedora as a desktop. And I also _want_ to use it as a server. At the Moment I see no problem in that. Why can't there be both in your opinion? Letting Ubuntu "grind out" the desktop stuff doesn't make sense. Do you want to kick out all the guys doing great work on desktop stuff and send them to Ubuntu? And to answer your last question. Solaris releases their "desktop distro" every six months, just like Fedora. They then call it "OpenSolaris", also a community-driven project. Greetings, Felix

Here's what most will say: "That'd be a sweet night of fights, but all those fights are broken up among 5 events."
So I guess that means the other 470 or so UFC fighters shouldn't ever have fights? Or they should all be thrown onto 1 event with no names to draw viewers?
Favorite Fighter: JIM MILLER.
Scariest Dude on the Planet: TYRONE SPONG.
Other Favorites: Anderson Silva, Gegard Mousasi, Joe Lauzon, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Paul Daley, Ross Pearson, Donald Cerrone, Renan Barao, Glover Texiera, & Alistair Overeem.
"He doesn't write his own material. Some homo in Queens living in his mother's basement in his underwear is writing Chael's material for him." - DON FRYE.
So no, it's not "Wow, great fights spread over 5 events." That's two cards worth of good-to-average PPV fights, and at best one weak UFN.
Ah...so on the one hand, zuffa cuts great fighters because their roster is too bloated...but at the same time, that bloated roster should get ME status on a PPV. Great logic, that.So I guess that means the other 470 or so UFC fighters shouldn't ever have fights? Or they should all be thrown onto 1 event with no names to draw viewers?
What zuffa really needs is a minor league. Since Bellator abandoned it, they should run a straight-tournament style minor league, with guys who have less than 5 professional fights in the US. It would be far better than that shit reality show, and that should be the free cards or the international cards. If they're going to saturate the market, they should distinguish between the elite level and the guys who aren't making 10/10k and streamline a feeder process for the cards that they really want to showcase.
I'm all for free MMA. I'm all in favor if lots of MMA cards, and variety. I'm not in favor of overhype and oversaturation, and an org that can pretend that Kevin Gastelum is as good as Fitch or Sheilds, and for the record, I'm a fan of Gastelum, even though I felt he lost to Story last time out.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
As others have said that 2-3 cards at best of talent there. The undercard has room for 10 fighters give or take and if you can't make the cut to be on that undercard you probably should still be at the regional fight level.
The UFC's expansion plans have not factored in that the level of talent growth just can't keep up. What they are doing now is pretty much the same as if MLB/NBA etc decided to to bring in a bunch of new franchises and fill the rosters with guys from the minors and developmental leagues.
Exactly. No point in having so many fighters.Ever think maybe the UFC doesn't need to have 470 fighters on it's roster?
How can you be excited when you see that there will be fighting some Dan Lorenzo vs Brian Gomez. You have no idea who they are, so you look for them at wikipedia or some other page (Thinking "well maybe they have a solid record with many KO wins in other small orgs") and you see a mediocre record, or they do not even have a wikipedia page and there is too little information about them in other sites.
How the fuck are you supposed to get excited by that??
Another thing is that there are very few really intriguing fights.
When was the last time that UFC announced a fight and absolutely everybody was like "WOW!!! This will be such an awesome fight! I can't wait for this to happen". When?
During the PRIDE days we had many of those kind of fights. Fedor vs Mirko was extremely anticipated.
There were legit feuds like BTT vs Chute Boxe, Gomi vs Chute Boxe, Wanderlei vs Rampage, and many more.
Now the feuds are fake, they are all acted. Everybody knows that so it is impossible to get hyped only because someone is talking shit to another fighter. You know that after the fight they will hug each other and say how much they respect each other.
We had Affliction that unfortunately only had 2 cards but both of them were great. A third one was in the making and also looked very good.
Strikeforce had some really great match ups.
WEC too!
Then Zuffa bought them, and instead of having the most awesome promotion with the greatest cards ever, we have a mediocre product that offers only 1 or 2 interesting fights per event.
And sometimes not even that. For example the event in New Zealand, the main event was Marquardt vs TeHuna. I mean is this fucking serious????
Today there is another event and the main event is Jeremy Stephens vs Cub Swanson!! I mean this is not a bad fight itself, but it is not good to be a main event.
The quality of the product is mediocre, the prices are very expensive, the Legends and superstars of the sports are getting old and they are retiring or getting past prime, the new superstars are not as entertaining as the "old" ones.
Fucking TUF is a garbage that no one watches anymore.
Stupid clown Dana White should have left the UFC several years ago, he does absolutely nothing to improve the sport. What he has done for the past 5 years? He got the deal with Fox (not that it has helped MMA a lot), and what else?? Absolutely nothing.
What superfights he has made since BJ Penn-GSP 2?
How many times he has promised that he would make MMA legal in NYC?
He is just a parasite! As long as he is UFC president, there will be no progress at all.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
I think the UFC needs to make a more obvious separation between their PPV events, Fox ones, and Fight Pass ones.
If PPV's were less regular and stacked to the gills, and Fox sports featured number one contenders fights and semi-big name fights, and Fight Pass was reserved for big-names coming off losses, and up-and-comers only, then they would be a clearer hierarchy for fighters to rise through.
That way, the PPV events get greater value (and are diluted), and there'll be a clear message that the more you pay for an event, the great quality you get.
At the moment they're al fudged in together, and the 'big event' feeling has gone, for me at least.
Favourite Fighters: A. Silva, Velasquez, Swanson, Bisping, W. Silva, Barnett, Faber, Dos Santos, Manuwa, McCall, Pickett & Poirier
Least-Favourite Fighters: Story, Sylvia, Browne & Lentz
0-1 on sig bets.
Personally I think while there is some truth to everything being said in this thread there is also a lot of bitching just because we'll that's what forums are for.
I disagree with this being "the dark ages". Maybe the " dark ages of mainstream".
If you think back to some of the early cards or hell to even the first post TUF 1 cards there generally wasn't but 1 or 2 fights with a name fighter against a name fighter. No it was usually guys only the really hard core or dedicated knee of. Also back then we as fans who actually visit these sites would get excited about a card such as this mornings under a lesser promotion. But because its the UFC its not good enough
The way I look at it is as the UFC has killed off lesser promotions they are putting on the cards themselves. As they are expanding over the world they are keeping there money makers for cards in the west but still giving fans a way to enjoy all the cards.
The other point that I started earlier is the post TUF boom. There were a lot of reletive unknowns on the undercard and in the first few fights on the PPV. However as we the fans got to know them they became "stacked" cards. Seriously go back and look at some of the names in the late 40s through the 50s and then try to remember how not stacked some of those cards seemed back then.
Again I mostly agree with everything being said here I just think its exaggerated not only in what people are posting but also in how we all feel. It's different for us who have grown with the sport.
I also do not think Dana is holding the UFC back. I do not see him as the problem. I just do not believe he has as much power as we give him credit for. Plus if he is holding MMA back it's not his fault. It is the people allowing him to stay in that position. I have always felt Dana at best runs the day to day but that big decessions come from Lorenzo. I could be wrong but that's the impression that I get
At the start with only 1 or 2 names we grew to know the mid card fighters. It's been over 10 years for a lot of the fighters. The names have changed and the name quality has gone down but can the same really be said for the fight quality taking a major dive?
I don't think people have really argued that. They have complained about name value. I agree the quality has seemed to suffer...but is it that bad or just our perception?
meh im at a point where if i catch the card i catch it if i dont i dont. I usually watch every ppv but the fight nights (barring any huge main event) i dont really care for. I come here - or mma discussion on fb - and find out what fighters were worth watching and watch them.
I actually watched the fight night this past weekend which is the first ive watched in sometime and it wasnt the greatest thing i watched thats for sure. Brutal ref stoppage, a quick sub, a WW who missed weight and then a main event that had way less fireworks than i expected.
My question is this; are the fight nights really all that bad compared to say bellator, wsof, etc? I mean i dont watch bellator anymore and havent in some time, but watching the fight night card reminded me of old bellator cards where you dont care for any of the fighters and you find yourself just watching for the sake of watching.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down

Re: Geforece Go 7600 fan problem
shaundennie, thanks! All I needed was one more nudge in the right direction. After having worked on this on and off for 4 months, I can't tell you how sweet success is.
I've actually gotten somewhat comfortable monkeying around in the ACPI scripting language...of course, it helps to have a copy of the appropriate spec too.
Btw, you shouldn't have to worry about nuking your machine when swapping out the DSDT under Linux... Of course, you may cause yourself some issues when booting a bad DSDT, so I recommend having multiple initrd images that you can select from your grub boot menu. Then you don't have to fly without a safety net.
After diffing your original ASL against my changes and notes, I saw what you were talking about re: VTMP, and decided to give my DSDT a (w)hack or two.
I observed a few things (keep in mind this is Satellite P100 BIOS v3.5):
1) You can make the "static" value change to VTMP in either the _REG() method or in the NVIF() method and get the same results... a fan that is constantly on and a GPU at about 47 Celsius. Nice.
2) Changes to VTMP in the WSBC() method seem to make no difference. This makes sense, however, because this method belongs to the AMW0 namespace (a device with PNP ID PNP0C14). This is apparently a WMI device which of course only matters under Windows.
3) Based on my testing so far, it appears that the value of VTMP is inversely proportional to fan speed. This doesn't really make sense to me, as I thought it would be just the opposite. Perhaps VTMP doesn't mean "current video temperature". Anyway, I tried cranking it up from 3C to 41 and then to 46 (thinking this would mean 60 Celsius, 65 Celsius and then 70 Celsius), however the fan actually runs slower as the value increases. With VTMP at 3C, the fan runs at a nice medium speed and does a sufficient job at keeping things cool.
4) It would be wonderful to have a user-mode program under Linux to control the value in VTMP. With the right documentation, I'd be happy to write one in C. If anyone has suggestions or experience in this area, let me know.
I have attached both the original ASL and my latest hack which includes my changes to make the GPU fan, sound card and other devices to function. Hopefully it will prove useful to others.
Thanks again for your reply. It made me look in just the right place!

BUNHEADS, with Broadway star Sutton Foster, is set to return to ABC Family on Monday, Jan. 7. Check out a first look below!
It's been several months since the "Nutcracker" fiasco, where Michelle (Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster) accidentally maced the young performers of Paradise Dance Academy. Now she's crashing on her friend's couch and working as a dancer for a small-time magician in Henderson, NV. Meanwhile, in Paradise, the dance studio is closed down, leaving the students to keep busy on their own. Ginny has taken over her mother's real estate business; Melanie has been caring for her grandpa; and Boo is pulling her hair out taking care of her little brother while her pregnant mother is on bedrest. After a summer at Joffrey, Sasha returns but refuses to head back home, instead hiding out with friends. "Bunheads" premieres MONDAY, JANUARY 7 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on ABC Family.

Football: DREAM LOVER; BELL'S DIVISION TWO SPECIAL: AIRDRIE CELEBRATE TITLE WIN Alloa 0 Airdrie U 1 Diamonds ace on cloud nine.
AIRDRIE United's Paul Lovering has been a lucky charm since joining the Second Division title-winners.
Since full-back Lovering moved to the Diamonds in February, Airdrie haven't lost a game - with the win at Alloa stretching the run to 17 matches.
Owen Coyle scored the only goal of Saturday's game in 26 minutes to kick-off the title party.
And ex-Hibs and Ayr ace Lovering, 28, said: "When I joined the club we were mid-table and under-achieving.
"But you could see the quality was there and I knew there and then we'd be a good bet for promotion.
"However, to actually go and win the thing is the icing on the cake.
"We were disappointed last week. Even though we'd won promotion, Hamilton's late goal denied us the chance to be champions.
"But we've come to a tough place like Recreation Park and won. We were very nervous but we held on for the win and it feels fantastic."
Lovering rates the achievement as the highlight of his career.
He added: "This means even more than when I was in the Hibs team that won the First Division in 1999.
"I'm on a short-term deal with Airdrie but I love it and hopefully I can stay for next season."
Alloa were the better team on the day and if Iain Nicolson had scored one of his two efforts from the spot they could have gone on to win.
Airdrie's Kevin Christie tripped up Richard Walker in the box and Nicolson saw his kick smothered by Mark McGeown.A retake was ordered - which the defender blasted over the bar.
Alloa paid for that minutes later when Coyle took a pass from Willie McLaren and, at the second attempt, stroked the ball past Gary McGlynn.
Airdrie were under the cosh in the second half but clung on and the final whistle sparked a pitch invasion by more than 1000 fans.
Diamonds boss Sandy Stewart said: "This is undoubtedly my best moment in football.
"We've been nervy recently but it's great to be champions. Everyone at Airdrie has played their part and we'll savour the moment."
Alloa manager Tom Hendrie said: "The missed penalties were the key moment but we matched Airdrie and can make a real impact next season."
FEELING CHAMPION: Airdrie stars and their fans enjoy the title win; SPOT MISS: Nicolson

The power of the few
CSN is a network of collaborating pastors and Christian professionals who serve as a support system to small churches in the Chicagoland area.
We believe in the power of the few gathered in His name. We believe that when it comes to making disciples, the popular saying, "bigger is better" does NOT apply. We believe that small churches have special advantages that can be optimized for the cause of Christ, and that size should not discourage any church from being the beautiful bride that Christ calls us to be.
We are eager to hear your church's story - where you've been, where you are now - and to discern together what kind of legacy He wants you to leave behind moving forward.
We provide immediate preaching and pastoral support just when you need it.
We work together as a team to find relevant solutions to your ministry challenges.
We assist with conflict resolution and offer individual counseling to pastors in need.

CFN Analysis
Miami Hired Al Golden
Pete Fiutak
While coming up with any sort of success at Temple, much less turning one of the nation's most miserable programs into a winner, is worthy of praise and respect, there's one teeny, tiny little issue here.
Al Golden didn't actually win anything, and Miami wants a Point B to Point C guy.
Once Golden did the job of recruiting well, mostly by putting a fence around the greater Philadelphia metropolitan era, Temple got to the point where it wasn't a doormat anymore. While that was great, as Buffalo, Central Michigan, Akron, and in a one-year turnaround, Miami University, proved, it was possible to go from being miserable to a MAC champion, and Golden didn't finish the job.
Temple going from miserable to decent was a story in 2008, but in 2009, Golden had a team good enough to win the MAC title with, or at least the East. With the chance to play for the championship, it lost at Ohio 35-17.
This year, Northern Illinois (speaking of not getting the job done) was the MAC's best team, but Temple was the clear No. 2. The program, and Golden, failed late in the year losing at home to Ohio when the running game and the run defense mysteriously went bye-bye in the sloppy conditions. That loss ended up costing the Owls the MAC East title; the puzzling, dead-team-walking, 23-3 loss to Miami University ended up costing the 8-4 team a bowl invite.
Yeah, Golden's Temple program recorded the largest academic turnaround in the APR reform era, and yeah, Miami cares about the classroom with a fantastic APR under Shannon. Last May, when the reports came out, Miami's program was the only one in the BCS that finished in the top ten percent academically and finished the 2009 season ranked in both the USA Today and AP polls. Shannon really was getting it done both on and off the field, but he didn't make Miami, Miami, and for that he was fired.
So now Miami has two problems. The first is that Golden hasn't closed, going 7-12 at Temple in November and December and with no appearances in the MAC Championship, and two, this isn't the 1980s. Florida is the top dog on the Sunshine State, Florida State is reloading, South Florida is starting to become a factor, UCF won the Conference USA title, and even Florida International and Florida Atlantic will battle for some of the local Miami talents. Throw in the national powerhouses always coming in and picking off players, and the Canes' expectations are unrealistic.
Does Miami want to go back to the Luther Campbell days? Is it looking for the days of being Da U, and all the negative connotations that came with that? Unless Golden can bring in the NFL talent right away, and not just the very good college players, Miami is going to be disappointed that it's nowhere near the bright, shining superpower it used to be.
Golden is taking his talents to South Beach, but this will only work if he brings more big-time talents to Coral Gables.
Richard Cirminiello
This is an outstanding pick-up for Miami, but a real head-scratcher from Al Golden's perspective.
Don't kid yourself about the Hurricanes. It's one of the worst high-profile jobs in America. The school doesn't pay that well, the bar is set higher than it should be, and local support ebbs and flows. When the program isn't on top, it struggles to fill the stadium, which doesn't happen at a lot of brand name schools. While it's an obvious promotion from Temple, it's not as if Golden hasn't had other opportunities in the past. Nor will they stop coming in the future. He's one of the hotter young coaches in America, doing the impossible by turning the Owls into a winner. Why now? Why not pursue the Pitt job or wait another year to see if JoePa retires in Happy Valley? Maybe missing a bowl game with an 8-4 record left a mark on the coach. Or maybe he felt that another bowl-less campaign would wash the bloom off his rose. It's hard to imagine, though, that this was the opening he'd been holding out for over the past couple of seasons.
Miami landed a terrific coach, one of the rising stars in the profession. Golden, on the other hand, is taking on a lot of risk with this career move. It's been a while since the U was one of the more coveted openings in college football.
By Matt Zemek
College football blogger Mark Ennis put the matter in perspective: When Miami found its coach on Sunday afternoon, the four major-conference Florida schools completed an unthinkable sea-change in the span of just 12.5 months.
On November 30, 2009, Bobby Bowden had not yet announced his retirement from coaching at Florida State. Urban Meyer had not yet disclosed the health reasons that would, in a year's time, lead him to step down at Florida. Jim Leavitt hadn't yet been taken down by his punch toward a South Florida player. Randy Shannon was finishing a steppingstone-type season at The U before his make-or-break 2010 campaign. Now, all four men are gone, with Meyer officially leaving his post once the Outback Bowl ends on the first afternoon of 2011.
Miami has always faced instability in its big chair of responsibility, but it's still astonishing to contemplate the fact that one college football cycle – one period of just over 12 months – has cleaned out the four coaches at the big programs in the Sunshine State. Florida and Florida State used to be synonymous with single coaches. Leavitt had been the only program South Florida had ever known. Now, it's a whole new world in Florida. What once was Saint Bobby, Urban, Leavitt and Shannon (and used to be Saint Bobby, Steve Spurrier, Leavitt and Butch Davis roughly a decade ago) is now Jimbo Fisher, Will Muschamp, Skip Holtz, and Al Golden, the just-named boss of The U.
It gives one pause.
It's not much of a secret that Golden had designs on being Joe Paterno's successor at Penn State, so it's the height of coincidence that one day after Will Muschamp could no longer wait to succeed Mack Brown at Texas, Golden clearly felt that he could no longer try to wait out JoePa for the big gig in Happy Valley. Offered the job by Paterno's rival, the Pittsburgh Panthers, Golden instead opted for Coral Gables, where one wonders if he'll sport a shirt and tie on steamy, sultry early-September Saturdays. More important than that, the college football cognoscenti are wondering if Golden can and will bring in the linemen and the physical, boss-you-around hammer-wielders in the trenches that can make Miami great again. The Hurricanes became great in past decades not just because of skill-position sizzle and flashy on-the-edges playmakers, but because of up-front anchors who could make life easier for both offensive and defensive backfields. If Golden can marry bonecrushing brawn with breathtaking speed, he can awaken The U and make the Canes relevant once more.
No one knows how it will all work out, and maybe Golden will bolt for University Park, Pennsylvania, if Paterno does hang up the whistle, but the initial sense is that Miami found a very good coach.
This is certainly a lot better than Marc Trestman, that's for sure.

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
Your camcorder has a feature called Data code. You can use this feature for playing back the video. If you are trying to record the time stamp on the video when creating a DVD, you would need 3rd party video editing software for that feature. The software i can recommend is Sony DVD Architecct Studio. You can check the trial version by clicking here:

The cool thing about film now,,, I can afford the Nikon F subminiture dream system I lusted after in the late 60's. 4x5's are free if you buy the lens (ok,,, almost, free for a good user). Heck, I've got an Orbit and a Symmar with a bit of fungus, and a ratty case I'll bet would sell for less than $175. Mamiya Cxxx TLR's are an amazing value if you're into the minature formats. (ok,,, I'm just fishing for format snobs,,, flame on!!! ;-) All in good fun...
All joking aside. Love my F, will never get rid of it. I'll likely not shoot that much 35mm. When that was all I had, it was a constent fight for me... ASA 25, tripod... With a large format mind set, owning a Nikon and not liking TriX 35mm prints was a bad thing;-)
5x7 b&J, 4x5 Linholf. I may actually get rid of everything but the Nikon, Linholf and try to find a clean C330 with 4 lenses.
I've got a Pentax 645 that may be the reason I'm going to be embrasing the Bi life style. 20 rolls of film, processing and scanning, shipping almost $400. Oh, and try getting 20 rolls of film in and out of Mexico. Was fairly smooth, I did my homework, but the folks with digital cameras just breazed on thru.
Digital and film are different hobbies for me. Like was mentioned in a previous post, going out with the film camera is a totally focused outing for me. Way different than grabbing a bunch of family shots at the reunion or wedding party. I guess that sort of makes me an outcast from both sides of the fence ;-)
Darkroom being built as we speak,,, I do miss the odd smell of Dev and fixer for some reason.

I've been a big fan of early community involvement in projects, especially after how much it helped drive Swing to its first release.

You know how no one ever tells you how bad it REALLY hurts to deliver a baby? It's like there's a conspiracy out there – a club whose members have endured childbirth, and their bylaws prohibit them from telling the truth about giving birth. They always gloss over the pain, saying, "It's all worth it in the end." Well, I'm here to tell you that it's the same with home-schooling.
No one told me what it would REALLY be like to take this on. Everything I've ever read about leaving the traditional classroom only pointed out the benefits. I've yet to see an article that describes the labor of home-schooling.
Consistent with my vow to be honest with moms-to-be about my 22 hours of hard labor during childbirth, I also consider it my personal responsibility to be truthful about the reality of home-based education.
My husband and I decided that our then 11-year-old son would benefit from taking a year off between his promotion from sixth grade and entering middle school. Not just a summer, but an entire school year in which we would focus on skills to better prepare him for the rigors of seventh grade and beyond. He was always the youngest in his class, starting kindergarten at age 41/2, and we felt the extra year to just grow up would help him be more successful with the demands of junior high.
Much like our decision to have a child, we weighed the home-schooling commitment. Like a pregnancy, it would require that I devote about nine months of my life to working with him during the hours he would have spent in a classroom. Between lesson plans, instruction, grading papers and field trips, I knew I'd have to give up the freedom I'd enjoyed for years while my kids were in school. Like the wine I gave up while I was pregnant, I didn't know how much I'd miss it.
First Trimester
The first trimester was the toughest. We both had morning sickness. It took time to adjust to the idea that my morning routine now included my son. No more leisurely mochas at Starbucks after dropping the kids off at school. Gone were the workouts at the Y, riding the cycle machine and watching the "Today" show. My job was now to educate and to motivate. Every day. For nine months. It wasn't easy.
Instead of the bright-eyed student I was hoping to see jog downstairs each morning to our living room – I mean classroom – he'd mosey down the stairs with his pillow and blanket.
"I'm ready," he'd say as he curled up in a ball on the sofa.
It was clear that my vision of a classroom in the home was different from his. So we established standards and a routine. In no time, our mornings were on track. We started our day by reading a verse from the Bible. Then, we worked through a math textbook and on to science. Mid-morning, we'd take a walk together; then we'd read. We were on our way.
I kept pointing out the advantages of our home-schooling situation to encourage him. "What teacher would let you have a Gatorade and chips during a science lesson or do math in your pajamas?" He couldn't argue with that.
Second Trimester
By the second trimester, I had finally learned how to do algebra. I think my son was catching on, too. We were reading classics like Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," sitting together. Close. Like we used to. We were bonding again and it was nice. I felt lucky as I wondered how many moms have the chance to reconnect with their pre-teens like this in our hurried world.
The morning sickness had passed.

Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation (CGT) is an interstate natural gas transportation company that delivers natural gas to wholesale and direct industrial customers throughout South Carolina. Our operations and rates are subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulation.
We provide open access, unbundled, firm and interruptible transportation services and interruptible parking and lending service for interstate gas markets. Because we sell our "pipeline capacity" rather than natural gas itself, we enable large-volume natural gas users to manage their own purchasing strategies.
Dominion Resources, Inc. recently announced its intent to acquire Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation (CGT) from SCANA Corp. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
CGT was formed through the 2006 merger of two of SCANA Corporation's wholly owned subsidiaries: SCG Pipeline and South Carolina Pipeline Corporation.
South Carolina Pipeline was an intrastate pipeline company that purchased, transported and sold natural gas to distribution companies, municipalities and industrial customers through an extensive pipeline system in South Carolina. SCG Pipeline was an interstate pipeline that transported natural gas in Georgia and South Carolina.
Combining the strengths and resources of these two companies, CGT today transports reliable natural gas throughout the growing southeast region of the United States.

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko is determined to build on his first six months in England last season.
His best performances since the January move came when he started in a central role and it is where he expected to play.
However, speaking on nufc.co.uk , Sissoko said: "The manager played me as a number ten for a large part of last season and I'm very happy to play there.
"But next season we'll see what happens. We'll see what the manager wants, see where he wants me to play.
"I'll try and adapt the best I can, but the objective for me is just to come out and have a good season personally, because next summer is a World Cup year."

A Boeing 727-223, registered N844AA, was stolen from Quatro de Fevereiro Airport, Luanda, Angola on 25 May 2003.[1] Its disappearance prompted a worldwide search by the FBI and the CIA.
The plane (serial number 20985) was manufactured in 1975 and formerly owned by American Airlines. Its last owner was reported to be Miami-based company Aerospace Sales & Leasing.[2] While on lease to TAAG Angola Airlines it had been grounded and sat idle at Luanda for 14 months, accruing more than $4 million in backdated airport fees, and was one of two at Quatro de Fevereiro in the process of being converted for use by IRS Airlines.[3] The FBI described it as "...unpainted silver in color with a stripe of blue, white, and blue. The plane was formerly in the air fleet of a major airline, but all of the passenger seats have been removed. It is outfitted to carry diesel fuel."[4]
Shortly before sunset on 25 May, two men are believed to have boarded the plane, one of them being American pilot and flight engineer Ben Charles Padilla.[5] The other was a hired mechanic from the Republic of the Congo. Neither man was certified to fly the Boeing 727, which normally requires three aircrew. Both men had been working with Angolan mechanics to get the plane flight-ready. Padilla is believed by U.S. authorities to have been at the controls.[6]
The aircraft began taxiing without communicating with the control tower. It maneuvered erratically and entered a runway without clearance. The tower tried to make contact, but there was no response, and the tracking transponder was turned off. With its lights off, the aircraft took off, heading southwest over the Atlantic Ocean. Neither the plane nor the two men have been seen since.[7]
Many theories exist about what happened to the plane.
Padilla's sister, Benita Padilla-Kirkland, told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper that her family suspects that he was flying the aircraft and fear that he subsequently crashed somewhere in Africa or is being held against his will.[8]
In July 2003 a possible sighting of the missing plane was reported in Conakry, Guinea,[9][10] but this has been conclusively dismissed by the US Department of State.[11]
Some reports suggest there was only one person on board the aircraft at the time;[12] some suggest there may have been more than one.[13][14]

Misdemeanor Status For Small-Time Cocaine Possession Rejected
California's prisons are so overcrowded that we're under a federal court order to cut 8,000 inmates by year's end.
A California lawmaker, Sen. Mark Leno, came up with one idea to ensure that our lockups aren't clogged up with small-time offenders: Let local prosecutors decide if suspects caught with small amounts of hard drugs like cocaine or heroin should be charged with a misdemeanor instead of a mandatory felony.
Over the weekend, Gov. Jerry Brown said no to that bill, SB 649:
In a veto message, Brown said that Leno's bill would overlap with another, SB 105, that might end up doing the same thing. The latter legislation will examine "the current sentencing structure," Brown said, adding that ...
... We will do so with the full participation of all necessary parties, including law enforcement, local government, courts and treatment providers. That will be the appropriate time to evaluate our existing drug laws.
Sounds promising, but backers of the misdemeanor sentencing bill, which passed the state legislature, were still disappointed.
The ACLU says Leno's bill would not have applied to cases of selling, manufacturing or possessing drugs and that it could have saved taxpayers $160 million a year in incarceration and court costs.
Kim Horiuchi, criminal justice and drug policy attorney for the ACLU of California:
By vetoing S.B. 649, Gov. Brown has thwarted the will of the voters and their elected representatives by rejecting a modest reform that would have helped end mass incarceration in this state.
Nightlife of Revelry / Flickr
The law would have applied only to personal-use cases and would have made the small-time possession of the likes of cocaine and heroin similar to marijuana possession -- a possible misdemeanor.
Retired Redondo Beach lieutenant commander Diane Goldstein of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition:
This bill would have reduced incarceration and increased the ability for prosecutors and judges to decide minor possession cases based on their individual merits rather than by a one-size-fits-all approach that runs counter to the idea of individualized justice, and that we know simply doesn't work.
The Drug Policy Alliance co-sponsored the bill. The group's California state director, Lynne Lyman, said this over the weekend:
The Governor let down the people of California, the majority of whom support going even farther than this bill would have gone. The vast majority of voters agree with the experts -- locking up drug users is stupid, unproductive, cruel and expensive.

State employees, execs to get additional bonus
MANILA, Philippines – A merrier Christmas awaits state employees and officials this year.
Malacañang announced Friday the grant of yet another bonus for employees of the national government on top of the traditional Christmas bonus and 13th month pay. The government is giving away a new "performance-based bonus" or PBB.
This will be given to employees and officials on the basis of a merit-based formula for rewards ranging from P5,000 to P35,000, depending on their productivity, said Palace spokesperson Abigail Valte at a news briefing.
The Palace hopes that the PBB would be released during the Christmas season. "I will consult with other agencies about their target[date for release of] the PBB. It's like Pinoy Big Brother, isn't it?"
State officials and employees receive their 13th month pay in two tranches—on May 15 and November 15.
Employees in the private sector also receive the mandated 13th month bonus (not subject to tax for amounts P30,000 and below) but other companies also give additional Christmas bonuses that are subject to tax.
Meanwhile, the Productivity Enhancement Incentive(PEI)—pegged across the board at P10,000 in 2011—is due to be credited to payroll next month, said Valte.
Valte explained that the national government, prior to the Aquino presidency, funded only P7,000 of the PEI, with the remaining P3,000 shouldered by various government offices from their savings.
"What happened in the past—at least in the case of 2010—was that agencies which had no savings couldn't provide for their component [of the PEI]. In 2011, what the national government did was to give out the entire P10,000. So everyone received the same amount apart from the 13th month bonus," said Valte.
The PBB was mandated by Mr. Aquino under Executive Order No. 80 issued in July this year to "rationalize the current incentive system in government which is generally characterized by across-the-board bonuses that are given uniformly to all civil servants."
The EO calls for a "common set performance scorecard" and rates personnel "in accordance with their contribution to the accomplishments of their department's overall targets and commitments." The PBB scheme has three performance categories: "best," "better" and "good."

A theory of bisimulation for the π-calculus

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We study a new formulation of bisimulation for the π-calculus [MPW92], which we have called open bisimulation ( ∼ ). In contrast with the previously known bisimilarity equivalences, ∼ is preserved by all π-calculus operators, including input prefix. The differences among all these equivalences already appear in the sublanguage without name restrictions: Here the definition of ∼ can be factorised into a "standard" part which, modulo the different syntax of actions, is the CCS bisimulation, and a part specific to the π-calculus, which requires name instantiation. Attractive features of ∼ are: A simple axiomatisation (of the finite terms), with a completeness proof which leads to the construction of minimal canonical representatives for the equivalence classes of ∼; an "efficient" characterisation, based on a modified transition system. This characterisation seems promising for the development of automated-verification tools and also shows the call-by-need flavour of ∼. Although in the paper we stick to the π-calculus, the issues developed may be relevant to value-passing calculi in general.

The goal of the National Review Institute's Regional Fellows program is to introduce succeeding generations to conservatism's most important writings, thinkers, and institutions, and to build a network of talented, like-minded individuals who can assist one another professionally and personally for years to come.
In 2014, the program instituted a new syllabus — designed by NRI board member and celebrated academic Daniel J. Mahoney — that fosters a rigorous examination of conservative principles and how they apply to the issues of the day. Incorporating readings from Burke to Buckley, the syllabus focuses on the foundations of conservative thought.
Fellows meet for a series of eight weeknight dinner seminars. For each session, Fellows are expected to complete a 25-30 page reading assignment, which they will discuss with a leading conservative thinker. In addition, Fellows receive invitations to exclusive networking happy hours and other area conservative events.
Originally known as the NRI "Washington Fellows," the program has been conducted in DC since 2009. With the new curriculum and new focus on mid-career professionals, the renamed Regional Fellows program expanded to New York City in February 2014. In September 2014, NRI launched a chapter in Dallas, Texas and more chapters are in development.
The 2014 NRI Dallas Fellows program has concluded.
The application period for the 2015 program will begin in July.
The 2015 NRI New York Fellows program has concluded.
The application period for the 2016 program will begin in the fall.
The 2015 NRI Washington Fellows program has concluded.
The application period for the 2016 program will begin in the fall.
