Past imperfect: D7 Battlecruiser VS Defiant retrofit.
Mission: Past imperfect.
Klingon Class D7 Battle cruiser, Estimated era - 2267
Defiant class Heavy escort, Estimated era - 2366
100 year difference in terms of technology, and yet, these D7 cruisers appear to do much more damage and are a far greater threat to my ships, than anything in modern times, including borg spheres.
I mean, shouldn't my retrofit defiant, equipped with top end borg addons, 4 anti proton turrets and 4 anti proton dual heavy cannons, rip through these things like a hot knife through butter?
Why not change the mission so there's say, 10 D7 ships, rather than 2 at a time, then lower their damage output and shields to match the era you're "supposedly" fighting in?:rolleyes:
Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. Even more when you consider that the Klingons of the era were generally only up against the technologically-superior-but-pacifist Federation and a few minor species. They didn't have to worry about the Borg or the Dominon, two enemies whose mere appearance on the scene forced radical upgrades from everyone in the Alpha Quadrant just to survive.
To take this further, the ships and tech of STO are a full 30 years of R&D added on to the advancements made in TNG/DS9. Nothing from the 23rd-century Alpha Quadrant has any business denting the shields of an STO present-day warship, or lasting more than a couple seconds against the future ship's firepower.
The space battle in this mission should really resemble Wolf 359 in its lopsidedness.
Just a limitation of the game engine, I suppose.
Yea, sure seems that way
It's bad though, because the enterprise of that era, which is battling TWO D7's and the future klingon ship, isn't having much of a problem surviving on it's own
Also noticed all the klingons in this era have no shields on their armour, yet they're able to take multiple energy and grenade shots, before dying heh
I believe those ships were upgraded with modern technology - which is why you were supposed to destroy them, not even leaving the hull behind.
As far as the TOS Enterprise surviving, it only does so because the game won't let it die. I've seen it go to 0 Hull several times. It wouldn't be a very good time travel mission if Kirk and the Enterprise were destroyed in it. :)
But yeah those D7 battlecruisers are WAY overpowered.
They just don't make 'em like they used to...:D
Apologies, 4 fore DHC's and 3 aft turrets
damn, i was hoping you found a trick to add weapons or something

Report: Bobcats making run at Baron Davis
Posted by Royce Young
Things are getting moved around in Charlotte right now. First it was Michael Jordan assuming ownership of the team last year. Then it was Larry Brown being shown the door. Next was Paul Silas taking Brown's place with Charles Oakley joining the staff.
But all of that doesn't directly affect the personell on the floor. Well, the Bobcats are maybe getting to that.
There has been some chatter about Charlotte blowing the whole thing up and starting over by sending Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace elsewhere. As mentioned in today's Shootaround, according to Yahoo! Sports, Jordan and the Bobcats might go a different direction. Reportedly, Jordan is considering sending D.J. Augustin, DeSagana Diop and Matt Carroll to the Clippers for Baron Davis.
The trade works in terms of salaries, but I'm sure Neil Olshey and the Clippers front office feels like it can do better than that. Reality is, they probably can't. Davis is still owed over $40 million through 2013 and isn't exactly playing great basketball. It would be a cost-cutting move for the Clippers and a major play towards a full-on youth movement. It makes complete sense for the Clips. Hand the reins to Eric Bledsoe and Augustin, let them lob to Blake Griffin and get out of the way.
But why would Charlotte do this? Jordan is likely banking on a new scene giving Davis a kick in the pants to start playing how he's capable. Davis first played for Paul Silas in 1999 when Silas was the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets who drafted Davis fourth overall. Davis played his first five seasons with the Charlotte Hornets so maybe a little nostalgia and reunion will bring back the talented Baron Davis.
It's a long shot and reeks of desperation if it happens. Baron Davis can certainly still play, but that's a lot of money to take on for a player that may or may not help you. You're not sending off too much in Augustin, Diop and Carroll, but you lose some flexibility and now have a big contract on the books for three years. That's risky.
But Jordan may feel like he has to take this shot before he blows it up. He still has Jackson and Wallace so maybe he's thinking he's got to at least try to do something. Remember, this was a playoff team last season. The loss of Raymond Felton proved to be far bigger than anyone could see coming, so Jordan is trying to find an apt replacement. Problem is, that replacement is going to cost.

Kaman confirms owner Sterling heckles Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman confirms that the team's owner Donald Sterling shouts at his players during games. Posted by Ben Golliver.
On Monday, we noted an explosive report that accused Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling of heckling his own players, and point guard Baron Davis in particular, during games from his courtside seats. Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported that Clippers center Chris Kaman confirmed that Sterling does shout at the players during games. Unlike Davis, who was painted as frustrated by the verbal harassment, Kaman sounds resigned to it.
"All kinds of stuff," Kaman said. "Some stuff like, 'Oh, dunk the ball.' He owns the team. What do you want me to say? He's my boss. He signs the check. He owns me.
"Not really, but you know what I'm saying. My rights to my basketball skills for five years."While last season was Davis's first as a Clipper, Kaman has been a Clipper for his entire NBA career, eight seasons, and he was the team's first round draft pick in 2003. In that time period, the Clippers have had just one winning season, and they have won less than 30 games the last three years running. After all that losing, it's not a huge surprise that negative words, even from an owner, would eventually fall on deaf ears.
"He's an interesting guy," Kaman sad. "He likes to watch us play. He's very into it. Very into the decisions from what I understand. He's frustrated like anybody.
". . . The only thing I can say is that if it is negative at all, it's out of frustration. We're not trying to lose games. We're not trying to play bad. It's part of life. It's part of basketball."Player A complains the the owner is heckling him. Player B says, essentially, "get used to it because that's who he is." Only the Los Angeles Clippers. While Davis's complaint makes his boss look terrible, Kaman's relative indifference may, ironically, make Sterling look even worse.

Report: Owner Donald Sterling heckles Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is reportedly heckling his own players, including point guard Baron Davis. Posted by Ben Golliver.
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling rarely wins in the court of public appeal, and today comes word of another guaranteed embarrassing loss for the NBA's most reviled owner. Sterling's sins run a mile long: allegations of racism in his private businesses, contract disputes with former coaches and executives, harsh treatment of players, erratic behavior ... the list is longer than DeAndre Jordan. Given that history, we can't call this Yahoo! Sports report a new low for Sterling, he's sunk further previously, but it's still really bad. Sterling is reportedly heckling his own players, zeroing in on point guard Baron Davis, whom Sterling evidently believes is "out of shape" and not living up to his hefty contract.
Sterling "started getting a lot more vocal during the second half of last season," one team source said. "He never had done that before at games. Baron's his pet project. He absolutely hates Baron. He wants to get his money back."Davis, of course, is at a loss for words and tries to tread carefully. After all, Sterling is his boss.
"There's nothing I can say," Davis said of Sterling's taunts. "I have no comment on that. You just get to this point where it's a fight every day. It's a fight. You're fighting unnecessary battles. I'm fighting unnecessary battles.
"It's frustrating because I know and my teammates know I'm capable of getting it done, even dudes on the other team. It's frustrating."There are a lot of privileges that go with NBA ownership: courtside seats, locker room visits, etc. But the best NBA owners are involved without overstepping, acting as a stabilizing force and letting trusted basketball people make trusted basketball decisions. Sterling isn't just overstepping here, he's stomping on all that is sacred about the sport. He's killing his players' confidence, he's undermining his coach's authority, he's making life more difficult for his front office if they are trying to move Davis, and he is, once again, giving his entire organization and all of its employees a bad name. The NBA should probably intervene, as Sterling's reported behavior makes the entire league look bad. If players are held to the strictest of standards on the court -- they can now be given a technical foul for gesturing in anger at a bad call -- it looks exceedingly hypocritical if other team employees, especially an owner, are not required to comport themselves with a basic level of decency and to treat colleagues with a basic degree of respect in public. Here's hoping a little light on the situation scares Sterling into silence. We can agree that's not likely to happen.

Report: Clippers put Baron Davis on the block
Posted by Royce Young
Have you seen Eric Bledsoe so far this season? The rookie from Kentucky has looked pretty terrific, most recently putting up 12 points and 13 assists in a loss to Denver Friday night. The Clippers have been watching obviously. And because of Bledsoe's play plus the fact Baron Davis is out of shape and potentially part of something the Clips want to begin moving past, Yahoo! Sports reports Davis may be on the trading block.
So who wants him? Who him, his out of shape body and his nearly $42 million contract that has three years left on it? Come, not everyone at once.
The Clippers may have Davis on the block, but that doesn't mean he'll be moved by any means. Not too many teams out there are interested in a washing up point guard that is often a locker room problem and only plays when he wants to. Plus, you've got to pay him big time for the next three seasons. Honestly, I can't think of a single team that would or should be interested.
Maybe there's potential to get a third team involved. Or maybe there's potential that Davis could be part of a Carmelo Anthony trade since the money works. Unlikely, clearly, but since I'm looking for something here, that's all I could come up with.
Davis has been out for a few games this season with a sore knee and as a result, Bledsoe has shown flashes of being able to handle the point guard duties while the Clippers rebuild. Because really, there's an exciting core there with Bledsoe, Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin. The Clips need to start moving on from some of the dead wood, but the problem is, they paid them too much to move them.
The shame is, when he's keyed in and ready to play, Davis can be as good as any point guard in the league. He can be a guy worth that remaining $42 million and someone to be part of building a contender in Los Angeles. Except, he came into the season out of shape and already appears to be tuning out Vinny Del Negro.
So while Davis may be up for grabs, I don't think you're going to see many hands go up to try and get him.

Randy Foye to miss a week or two
Posted by Royce Young
Per ESPN Los Angeles , backup Clippers point guard Randy Foye will be out one to two weeks with a strained left hamstring. This comes after starter Baron Davis is listed as day-to-day with a knee injury, who missed Monday's game against the Spurs because of it.
Because of the injuries, rookie Eric Bledsoe got the starting nod. And he actually didn't fare too badly in his first NBA start. In 40 minutes, he had nine points, three assists, five rebounds and four steals.
Bledsoe ended up playing a lot off the ball with Eric Gordon assuming the point guarding duties for most of the night. Gordon compiled a career-high 11 assists against the Spurs to go along with 23 points (and two massive dunks).
Foye has played in two games so far, averaging six points and three assists in 24 minutes a game.For the Clippers though, this is not great news. Some felt they could be a surprise playoff contender in the West but even at full strength they got off to a slow start. Now a couple injuries have hit and they could be digging themselves into a bit of a hole before the season even gets going. Vinny Del Negro will have to do some shuffling and hope that between Gordon and Bledsoe, the team can play somewhat coherently on the offensive end.
Though if Monday's game against the Spurs was any indication, there might be some rough stretches. And next up for the Clips is a game against the Thunder, one of the league best defensive teams that hasn't performed well on that end thus far and will be looking to make a statement.

The time has come to pick tribes. Peachy tells the assembled swashbucklers that their tribe names are based on the names of famous pirates (ugh) Drake and Morgan. If you're tiring of pirates already, you can also think of the tribes as being named after the heroes of those bodice-ripper novels that constitute the only porn you can buy at Wal-Mart. Anyway, first to be assigned to the Drake tribe is Shawn, identified as being in "Advertising Sales." Shawn is young, buff, and unafraid of the feel of product in his hair. First to be assigned to the Morgan tribe is Darrah. She's a mortician, which will be handy for improving the appearance of her pallid, hungry compatriots somewhere around Day 30. She's stuck in a spaghetti-strap dress with very ugly stripes on it. Next up for Drake is Christa who, it is safe to say, is no rocket scientist, given that thanks to The Smoking Gun, we know that she isn't even intelligent enough to make her Usenet drug requests from a free and anonymous email account. She's another one who'll be suffering for a while in a pretty summery dress, but at least hers has little cap sleeves. As the Love Theme from Ahoy, There, Matey continues to whistle merrily, Morgan gets Osten, the "equity trade manager," who's in a nice blue shirt and pants, and has thus done reasonably well in the Luck Of The Clothing Draw Sweepstakes. Peachy admires the haul of loot that Osten turns over to him, and of course, he has to call it "pirate-like," because of those bottles of booze. Next to go to the Drake tribe is Rupert, who has been compared to Hagrid by numerous observers, but whom I think Glark most accurately pegged when he said, "I think Peter Jackson can win Survivor AND an Academy Award this year!" I'm not sure Peter Jackson has a pink-yellow-blue tie-dye tank top, though. ["I am. And I'll bet he wears it when he's using his gigantic, Treebeard-shaped bong." -- Wing Chun] And Rupert most certainly does have such a shirt. He's described as a "troubled teens mentor." In the first interview to reveal Christa's unbelievably annoying voice, she tells us that she immediately figured Rupert was "a big old hippie," but "strong as an ox." So he was two hackneyed clichés, instead of only one, as most reality-show contestants are. Next to go to Morgan is Lillian the scout leader, who is this season's designated woman over the age of thirty-five who's still in possession of her original breasts, and is thus the obvious first candidate for booting. Drake gets Trish, a "sales executive" in a sweater-skirt combo that's not going to be too comfortable in the sand. Next to head to Morgan is Ryan S., whose buzz cut and glasses bring to mind every kid you ever knew who liked to play Risk for seventeen hours at a time. Ryan is a produce clerk, so he may not be able to find food for you, but he is boffo when it comes to telling you whether it's ripe.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court (Law Court) recently handed down an important ruling limiting the administrative authority of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MPERS). In Kennebec County v. Maine Public Employee's Retirement System (Kennebec County), three employees of Kennebec County claimed that, at the time they were hired as full time employees, the County had failed to inform them of their eligibility to join MPERS. As a consequence, the employees argued, they were entitled to benefits as if they had enrolled in MPERS as of their respective dates of hire (1986, 1987 and 2000). This would have required the County to fund benefits (plus interest) for as much as 22 years in arrears, which would have been devastating to the County.
The MPERS Board of Trustees ruled that the County had a statutory obligation to inform the employees of their eligibility and that, because the County could not provide specific documentation regarding each of the individual employee-plaintiffs, the County had failed in its duty to inform them. The Law Court reversed the MPERS decision, ruling that MPERS has no authority over the enrollment process or anything that occurs prior to it. The Court said that to hold otherwise could invite "inconsistent and speculative decision-making, reliant on faded memories and imprecise or discarded records of events twenty or thirty years in the past."
Kennebec County leaves some important issues unresolved, including: (1) what effect Section 17054-A may have on retroactive claims for benefits;[1] and (2) what contractual rights employees may have regarding enrollment, including rights under collective bargaining agreements.
Three take-home points from Kennebec County
[1] In 2013, the Legislature passed this section, which requires employers to provide election procedures and maintain records of employees' elections. It went into effect after the Kennebec County case was filed, and was thus not applicable in this case—the Court specifically declined to comment on what effects it might have on future cases.

I just wanted to thank you for the use of your condo. It was perfect for our vacation. We had a wonderful time( the weather helped!) and everything went smoothly. If we visit the area again I will be sure to look you up! If you ever need any referrals I would be glad to give one!
Enjoy the weather in Florida! Michigan was 24 degrees again this morning and we had an inch of snow last night!
Just left Villa Madeira today and miss it so much. I had my daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandchildren with me and we had a wonderful week. The sleeping arrangement was perfect for us, the beach chairs and toys were a nice surprise and the view was amazing! I have never stayed in a condo so close to the sand. Colleen was so nice and I thank her for opening her property for others to enjoy. I hope I have the opportunity to visit this condo again. Sharon Lake
This condo was AWESOME and just as advertised. Very clean and just as pictures show. View is amazing and location was perfect. Easy access to beach (never very crowded) and pool was nice with beach view. Directly across the street is an ice cream and candy shop and convenience store. John's Pass is just down the street with many restaurant options (Friendly Fisherman was great!). We would recommend this condo to all our family and friends and will definitely rent from Colleen and Bob again when we return to the area!! Thank you!! If you have a car and don't mind about a 15 minute drive we recommend you eat at the Brass Monkey!
There are no surprises here. The condo is just as advertised, clean, well equipped with everything you need and tastefully decorated. That being said I arrived at 11.00 AM by car and my kids arrived from the air port at noon. I met Colleen in the parking lot and she let us unload our luggage as soon as the master bed room was cleaned. At that time I was also given the keys. Once the car was unloaded we were all able to fit in the car and go for lunch. When we got back at 2.30 PM the condo was cleaned and ready for us. The location of this unit in the building is perfect. Close to a stairwell, swimming pool and exit to the beach. John's Pass is just down the street so depending on what you want to do there are lots of options there to choose from. There are also many real good restaurants a short distance from the condo. There is a bait shop, ice cream store and convenience store right across the street. The next time I come to Maderia Beach with the family this condo will be my first choice. Thanks to the owners for making our stay in their unit a memorable and pleasant experience.
The condo was just as it stated in the description. Clean and no surprises. Beautiful sunsets, powdered sand, beautiful beach. Great place to vacation. We had a wonderful time and we would definitely visit again. Thank you Colleen for providing such great customer service.
We were very happy with with this condo. The location is good and the upkeep was very good. We have rented units that were not the cleanest. This unit was in great shape and had everything we needed. Must try candy store across the street.
Colleen and Bob were great!
All I can say is WOW! This condo is amazing! My husband said he never wanted to leave within the first ten minutes of our stay. The pictures are 100% accurate. Very clean. The beach closet is fabulous. Thank you Colleen and Bob for sharing your home with us. We hope to reserve it again for next year. If you are considering renting this condo, DO IT! You won't be disappointed.

OJ Simpson lawyers say he is closer to freedom
When the hearing ended, the judge said would issue a written ruling but did not set a date.
If Simpson succeeds in getting his conviction thrown out, prosecutors will have to either retry him or offer a plea bargain. It is also possible Simpson could be freed with credit for time served. If he loses, he will be sent back to prison and will probably appeal to a higher court.
He will be 70 before he is eligible for parole.
AP Special Correspondent and courts specialist Linda Deutsch has covered O.J. Simpson since 1994, attending every day of the Los Angeles and Las Vegas trials. Associated Press writer Ken Ritter in Las Vegas contributed to this report.

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
By Kylie MacLellan and Adrian Croft RIGA (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday began his campaign to persuade European leaders to make changes to the European Union before he holds a referendum to decide whether Britain should stay in or quit the bloc. Cameron was due to hold talks with European Council President Donald Tusk and a handful of EU government heads on the sidelines of a European Union summit with six ex-Soviet republics in Latvia. There were no formal meetings planned with EU power brokers Germany and France but Cameron will travel to Berlin and Paris next week for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Francois Hollande, British officials said.
The former Korean Air executive jailed for disrupting a flight in a rage over macadamia nuts walked free Friday when a South Korean appeals court overturned her conviction for violating aviation safety laws. The High Court in Seoul ruled that Cho Hyun-Ah, who had been in jail since her arrest in December, was not guilty of the most serious charge of altering an aircraft's route while in flight. "The accused had no intention of hampering the safe operation of the plane," High Court judge Kim Sang-Hwan said, handing down a reduced sentence of 10 months, suspended for two years.

Romney Campaign Calls On Obama To Apologize Over "Felony" Attack
After Obama campaign speculates Romney could be accused of a felony over Bain documents, Romney campaign calls for the president to apologize.
Mitt Romney's campaign manager Matt Rhoades has released a statement calling on President Barack Obama to apologize for his campaign's attacks speculating that Romney could be accused of a felony following today's Boston Globe report examining Romney's separation from Bain Capital.
"President Obama's campaign hit a new low today when one of its senior advisers made a reckless and unsubstantiated charge to reporters about Mitt Romney that was so over the top that it calls into question the integrity of their entire campaign," Rhoades said. "President Obama ought to apologize for the out-of-control behavior of his staff, which demeans the office he holds. Campaigns are supposed to be hard fought, but statements like those made by Stephanie Cutter belittle the process and the candidate on whose behalf she works."
Per Rosie Gray's report on Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter's remarks:
Cutter said that there were two ways to interpret the story. The first: Mitt Romney was "misrepresenting his position" at Bain to the Securities and Exchange Commission, "which is a felony."
Or, he was "misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people. If that's the case, if he was lying to the American people, that's a real character and trust issue," Cutter said.

1) He froze several allies which you could break the ice to free them
2) It was shooting flaming balls which did substantial damage if you didn't dodge
3) He spawned allies
4) He flew into the air so he was out of melee reach
Yeah, this is totally *like* a rancor. Somebody hand a nobel prize to jam for pointing the obvious. Everything is a rancor.
Difficulty can be adjusted, but let's face it: (1) however epic the fight is, it's not fun if you're getting owned, it has to be challenging but not frustrating, (2) the rancor in question didn't look hard either, and even if he was tough, it was all stats no actual play skill... as in, can you out-dps him.
Conclusion: GW2 is the place to go for epic boss fights in the MMO genre.

Dil Chahta Hai!
I work hard and enjoy this life I've made for myself. I'm driven to succeed in my career and have a reputation as a young leader in my field. But I seek balance and pursue fun and relaxation with dedication as well. Now I'm looking for someone meaningful to share my life with. Two major passions in my life are literature and movies. I love to read fine fiction and keep up with all kinds of movies, whether they are Hindi, English or Tamil. And when I'm profoundly affected by something in the world, I'm inspired to write poems and short stories based on the subject. I'm also an active person. I like to dance (I'm no professional, but I have some skill), and I like to run and stay healthy. My various intellectual and physical interests bring a lot of positive energy into my life! Seeking positivity, in others and in my own life, is a critical value to me. I believe we manifest our own joy and happiness. I'm very family- and relationship-oriented. I'm prepared for total commitment to the right person. I enjoy understanding and taking care of my partner's needs. I'm a good listener and an excellent friend. I believe in looking after each other. Ultimately, I seek to someday have a calm and happy life with a family of my own. I'm looking for someone who is happy, energetic and positive. She has good manners and we share compatible values. My idea match is kind and affectionate -- and she loves kids and plans to have some one day. If you think we would be a good match, I'd love to hear from you! I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Airhead, howdy. Hope all is well south of the border. The bike actually does run pretty well but for the backfire with any throttle let-up. I do come off the bike smelling of exhaust though. Not as bad as with the Supercrapp. My mileage is around 30mpg. I don't have too unrealistic dreams but 35-40 seems realistic doesn't it?
35-40 should be doable in Washington,
The cool thing is as CV carbs go, Bings are about the easiest to work on.
And if you feel so inclined there's even a Bing manual you can get from the US importer of Bing bits (I buy my carb parts from BMW dealers it's cheaper then via Bing USA, but the book is decent)
You need to base line, which means a clean air filter, new plugs, clean fuel system from the tank vent to the hose going into float bowl.
Make sure the bike's timing and valves are in functional order.
If all that stuff is good then go about cleaning and resetting the carbs.
Carbs are easy to work on. do one at a time and go slowly and you should get it to work.

Young leads Hayes in the second American SuperBike race at Daytona. The Yoshimura rider was able to take the Race 2 checkers in a photo finish.
Blake Young did his best to even up with American SuperBike rival Josh Hayes, the Yoshimura Suzuki rider taking the Race 2 checkers at Daytona. Young claimed the win in familiar Daytona fashion, holding off Hayes's drafting charge by a mere 0.002. Jordan Suzuki's Roger Hayden once again completed the ASB podium, besting Graves Yamaha's SuperBike rookie Josh Herrin for the final rostrum position.
The SuperBike race started with Herrin battling up front, dicing with Young while Hayes moved into the lead. Unwilling to let Hayes get out of his sight, Young dispatched Herrin and chased down the leader.
Having caught the Yamaha ace, Young pressed ahead on Lap 11 of the 15-lap race. The two fought for the front in the closing laps with Daytona strategy guiding their position heading into the final lap. Each rider knew they could overtake the other drafting on the banking, leading to the finish line showdown.
"Once I got the run on him and knew I could draft past him just the same, I kind of let him lead the last lap," explained Hayes of the final lap. "Going to the back straightaway I'd gotten a little further back than where I wanted to be and kind of panicked a little bit, and ran off into the chicane pretty hard. Made a few mistakes, it really wasn't I don't think the deciding factor. Because once we got up on the banking I went through the gears and do what I'd done before, but I think I just mis-timed it."
Hayes (2) jumped out to the early lead, with Young (79) having to get around Herrin (2) and then run down the leader for the eventual win.
Hayes was just two thousandths of a second shy of nipping Young at the line.
"I remember glancing over my shoulder out of the horseshoe, glancing over my shoulder coming onto the back straightaway. And I thought he's going to come with some steam," said Young on his close finish. "I wanted to be able to get back into his draft if he did come by – I thought I had a better chance that way. Halfway through the banking, going 'well he should be coming by by now' and I don't really feel the drag as much. I was wide open 'til the checkered."
After falling off the leader's pace Herrin would tussle with Hayden over the final podium position. The Jordan Suzuki secured consecutive third-place podiums, with Herrin settling for fourth after being forced to retire from Race 1 with a mechanical DNF. Foremost Insurance BMW's Larry Pegram repeated his battle with Motorcycle-Superstore.com/LeoVince/Attack Performance rider Steve Rapp, with the Beemer once again edging the Kawasaki ZX-10R at the finish.
Yoshimura's second rider, Chris Clark, finished seventh ahead of ESP BMW rider Jake Holden. Pulling into the pits with electrical issues in Race 1, Danny Eslick rebounded in Race 2 to pilot the Team Hero EBR 1190RS to a ninth-place finish. Team Venezuela rider Roberto Pietri rounded out the top 10.
Although the title front-runners split wins at Daytona, Hayes leaves with a three-point advantage in the championship – the two-time defending champion having claimed all three bonus points for pole position and most laps led. Hayden is third in the points, followed by Pegram and Rapp.

The second one-day international cricket match between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled to be held at the ACA-VDCA stadium here on December 18 has been shifted to Nagpur due to the prevailing tense situation in Andhra Pradesh over the Telangana issue.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India decided to shift the match to Nagpur as there was no other option, said Chairman of the Visakhapatnam Port Trust and organising committee chairman Ajeya Kallam at a press conference he addressed along with the president G. Gangaraju and other office-bearers of ACA here on Monday.
Both expressed regret that the people of Vizag and surrounding areas could not witness the match but a silver lining in the dark cloud was the assurance of the BCCI to the ACA that it would allot one of the ODIs during South Africa's tour in February 2010 to Visakhapatnam.
Mr. Rangaraju said he had discussed the situation on Monday morning with the BCCI president and secretary who wanted an immediate decision in order for preparations to get underway to host the match at a different venue. Nagpur, which hosted one of the two T20 matches a few days ago, was chosen as the venue for the second ODI.
"Every thing is almost in place for the match, the political parties are also for holding the match but we did not want to take a chance as we could not predict what would happen. Even a small and minor incident created by miscreants would have a major impact. There is no other option for us", Mr. Gangaraju said.

Everyman's Qt: Repos per Git
Qt Software from Nokia has kept its promise and released Qt to the community. A roadmap shows the direction the project is heading.
One of the biggest criticisms of Qt, next to its licensing policy, was the trouble Trolltech (now Qt Software, a part of Nokia) went through to develop its code with little input from the community. But now that Qt is under LPGL since version 4.5, Nokia's toolkit daughter has opened up its repositories. The current developer branch is now ready for inspection and development in http://qt.gitorious.org. The opportunities ambitious developers could have with the software are described in a Contribute to Qt webpage.
Next to Qt itself, the project plans to host further projects, such as the Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE). Launch of the source code repositories is also concurrent with a roadmap that Qt Software issued to preview the upcoming Qt versions, planned features and development projects. Here, too, the community is strongly encouraged to participate.
Qt Jambi 4.5.0_01, which is also under LGPL, is the last version to feature Qt bindings to the Java programming language. However, Qt Software still offers a year of maintenance for Jambi and the source code is available on http://qt.gitorious.org for further community development.

My favorite place, hands down, in the downtown area is the Triple 7 BrewPub in the Main Street Station. It's bar food - but it's really good and really generous portions. There are two OK buffets downtown - again at the Main Street Station and Golden Nugget. Neither are huge, but they have decent comfort foods for the price.
I've not been to the Market Street Cafe in the California, but they still have a few steak specials for under $10.
If you're willing to walk about a half mile south of the Plaza, you can check out the Gamblers General Store and Spinettis if you're into books or gambling collectibles. I wouldn't wander too far past that (nor would I leave Fremont street in the evening for that matter) - some of the neighborhoods can be a little sketchy.

Downtown and the biggy is the overhead Fremont Street Experience with a moving movie over your head of cartoons and fun in Las Vegas. Most of the casinos downtown have great prices on snacks, drinks and food. Just follow the crowd. Check out the VT Travel Guide for Downtown Las Vegas at:

We discovered that the Venetian has a food hall too late. You might want to try there for a cheap meal. We also liked the buffet at the Bellagio which was good value and of course you could eat as much as you want.

Thanks so much for the ideas. Looking forward to staying downtown this time. :)

To carole0015, Just for clarification, both the Venetian and Bellagio are located on the Strip, not downtown. Without a car, you can take the Strip & Downtown Express to enjoy any location on the Strip while staying downtown. See:
Many of the downtown restaurants are inexpensive compared to the Strip hotel buffets Lunch has the best price for value and the downtown Golden Nugget Buffet Lunch is only $10.00 a person, whereas the Bellagio Buffet Lunch is $20.00. Of course, what is offered and to your taste, is important. Bellagio is noted for one of the best buffets in Vegas. If you want the best for choices of food items at the same price as Bellagio, then the Rio's Carnival World Buffet (off strip) is where to go. Bon Appetite. :-)
Hanging around Freemont Street will be a little cheaper for you. Lots of places to eat there. Yet, I agree with travelgourmet, Vegas has a great transportation, so take advantage of them to see the Strip too. Check out http://www.chow.com/ site. It has lots of folks who had good suggestions to eat downtown. Have a great time!!

There is a sports bar in Baleys that does an enormous Nacho plate that will easily fill 2 people, I think it was about $10? I highly recommend it

Larry the buffet in the Bellagio is now $30 without drinks.
Alice, thanks for the heads up on the Bellagio's Buffet. So, I skip the drinks. The food is worth it. LOL :-)

12-Bit To 24-Bit Multiplexed Bus Exchanger With 3-State Outputs
This 12-bit to 24-bit Bus Exchanger is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH16271 is intended for applications in which two separate data paths must be multiplexed onto, or demultiplexed from, a single data path. This device is particularly suitable as an Interface between conventional DRAMs and high-speed Microprocessors
A data is stored in the internal A-to-B Registers on the low-to-high transition of the Clock (CLK) input, provided that the clock-enable (CLKENA) inputs are low. Proper control of these inputs allows two sequential 12-bit words to be presented as a 24-bit word on the B port.
Transparent Latches in the B-to-A path allow asynchronous operation to maximize memory access throughput. These Latches transfer data when the latch-enable (LE) inputs are low. The select (SEL) line selects 1B or 2B data for the A outputs. Data flow is controlled by the active-low output enables (OEA, OEB).
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, the output enables should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid Logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.

We went to les trois Boasseurs since my husband & son felt like having moules & know it was good coming in little casseroles that keeps them hot.
What a surprised they changed their menu. Its now an entree & does not come in the casserole , They were miniature & cold. My husband had to return his because it was cold & was not good. It cam with nothing so we order salad & fries . I had the fish & chips , talk about something store bought with dough an inch thick deep fried. The service was non existent we were always looking for her but she was hiding in the kitchen. For Lunch this was highly overpriced for the quality received. I could have gone to Micho Sushi for less the price. Never retuning & when we mentioned we would never come back , she just left, nothing about why, what is it you did not like , is there anything we can do … Nothing. Do not go to the West Island one Its Horrible. We've been to the Montreal ones & always had a good meal.
Went to Les 3 Brasseurs West Island in November 2014. Service and beer are great, waiter told us it was happy hour so we got a larger beer for the price of a smaller. I took the "Royal Sauerkraut" from their house specialties. Just a small scoop of tasteless sauerkraut, ham was the thin variety like you get instead of bacon for breakfast, and the biggest disappointment was the pig knuckle: so much fat and skin, and about 3 tiny bites of meat. Plate also had 2 round potatoes, unseasoned, and brocoli with shaved carrots. A very bland plate.
Worst service in the West Island I have seen yet. And I make a point of trying new places.
1st time I ever went, got there about 10 minutes before the game start, ordered a drink Upon receiving the drink we ordered food. 1st period went by, no food .. Asked the waiter who responded "Oh you didn't get it yet?" .. He said he would go check. 10 minutes later, no sign of waiter. OK can I get another beer? No waiter to be found except for 5 of them behind the bar.. ?… 2nd period ends, no food. Got the second beer when we went to the bar to get it. Food please I am dying?! "Oh sorry it is on it's way, someone called in sick" … And it took you two hockey periods to realize this? NO JOKE end of third NO FOOD!! At this point our answer was getting me another damn beer and they are all on you! Finished beer went to Baton Rouge.
Believe it or not I gave them a second chance about 6 months later. Granted there was some improvement, but we were constantly looking for service or flagging someone down.
Great food! Louisianna flamm is the best!
Alot of tv screens! Great management.
Definitely the place to be in the west island!
The food is consistently bad here, and I'm not sure why (how can you possibly mess up a burger..?) If it's not bad, then it's nothing special (typical bar food – the kind you'd expect to find in a bar where the food is an after-thought and drinks are the main thing). I guess I would recommend the pizza over everything I've tried.
The service is not good either. My friend ordered a Coke and it took our waiter 20 minutes to bring it, basically we had already finished eating. Don't even ask how long it took to get a refill.
Unrelated to the food, I find the West-Island location laid out completely weirdly. There is one large projector screen, but it is only visible to half the restaurant at most. If you're sitting at a table, chances are you are being blocked by someone sitting in a booth higher-up. There is a smaller screen on the other side, but again, you can only see them if you're facing that way. I much prefer the downtown locations for their layout.
Aside from being in a good location, I die a bit inside every time one of my friends suggests we go there…. I strongly, STRONGLY recommend McKibbins instead for a better atmosphere and WAY better food.
Don't think I've ever had worse service at any other place in the west island.
I went to this place 3 times and each time the experience was horrible. I gave it 3 chances; no more!
But anyway what did I expect? All 3 brasseurs have mediocre beer and bad food
Wouldn't go back.
Ordered the Vegetarian burger…not good at all!
Plus my burger came with a sticker on it.
My BBF and I heard about this place being a great pub for socializing, and boy was that ever the truth. We had a lot of fun and met some interesting guys. The terrasse was good, and so was the blond and peach schnapps.
Three of us went for lunch and waited 20 minutes before being served. The food was cold and really nothing special. First impressions are very important and I won't be going back to this restaurant.
Great food…..portions way too small and service SUCKS!!
The manager was very apologetic but that did nothing.
Will consider going back to the other locations but NEVER there again
I went for lunch, and I waited one hour, and my order never came; I left restaurant without eat; they said l'm sorry we're full.
Very bad experience here. We were rushed to finish and leave 45 minutes before close. The waitor refused to speak to our group in english even though he clearly understood us. The portions were ridiculously small, and we did not feel welcome or wanted be th staff. Definetely would not consider going back. They defientely do not compete with other brasseries in the area!
We were ordering too many beers according to the staff there. This is very inconvenient, because we thought the whole point of meter long beers was to have fun with your friends. Manager told us we couldn't have more than two meter longs at our table even though we were 5 people. The food was unbearable, had to go get some take out afterwards because I was starving, not to mention the small portions. After eating and drinking at our table, two friends and I decided to go have a round of shots and another round of beers at the bar. Unfortunately for us, the barmaid told us only one round of shots and that's it. I've never heard of a business refusing customers money. Keep in mind that its only 11 pm and the night hasn't even begun for us (meaning we weren't drunk and rowdy at all at this point). After the shots, we went out for some fresh air, and as we came back in to the bar, we noticed tree tall glasses of water. Bam!! How embarrassing! Definitely the most outrageous behavior and utmost senseless thing to do as a business; lay down water for your client at the bar without their permission.
Out of all my experiences in bars, restaurants or any other type of commercial business here in Montreal, or anywhere else for that matter of fact, that night, at 3 brasseurs in DDO has definitely been the worst experience of our life's. Neither my friends, nor I will ever be stepping foot into one of your establishments ever again. And trust us when we say that, that night is a night to remember and we will forever discuss it with fellow friends over nice meals someplace else.
Satisfied customers bring good business.
Unsatisfied customers don't come back.
Offended customers make terrible business and keep their friends and family away from such bad business.
Yours truly,
An offended customer.

BATTLE GROUND, Wash. A Battle Ground teen was happier than most kids to be back to school Tuesday, because last year he wasn t even sure if he d be able to walk into class.
Justin Carey was seriously injured in a crash last June. He was hit by a car while waiting for the school bus.
The impact of the crash sent him flying into a ditch and he laid there for 90-minutes before someone heard him calling for help.
A tow truck driver found Carey and got help, but the teen still lost his right leg due to the crash.
He went through rehabilitation over the summer and on Monday, tried on his new prosthetic leg for the first time.
His family said it s been amazing to watch his recovery.
I'm very proud of him. He's a good kid. He has a lot of determination and he has courage. I'm proud of him. He'll do great things, his mom told KGW.
The prosthetic should be ready for Carey to use at school in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, the teen said he plans to focus on his grades and making the shooting team for the Reserve Officer Training Corp. But most of all, he s excited about getting his driver's license this year.

Despite Team Obama's bluster, Romney's foreign trip won't show up In attack ads
- By Peter Feaver
The Obama team is bragging that Romney's recent foreign trip is a campaign bonanza for them. I am not so sure.
Romney's comments certainly generated negative press coverage, but were they really gaffes of the sort that can come back to bite a candidate in a presidential campaign?
Here are the supposed gaffes:
- Romney said that there were concerns about whether London was fully prepared for the Olympics.
- Romney said that Israel's strong economic performance relative to its Palestinian neighbors could be traced in part to cultural factors.
One way to measure a gaffe's potency is to assess whether directly quoting the alleged gaffe would fit nicely in a television advertisement. In some cases, the ads virtually write themselves. If you see an ad in which President Obama is telling reporters "the private sector is doing fine," you know it was paid for by Republicans. If you see an ad with President Obama telling small business owners "If you've got a business, you didn't build that," you know President Obama's campaign didn't run it.
By that standard, nothing Romney said on the trip would seem to make a good Obama attack ad. For starters, everything Romney said is true, even if some audiences did not want to hear it. More importantly, Romney's statements weren't insulting to actual voters, as candidate Obama's were in 2008 when he dismissed the concerns of Pennsylvania voters who preferred his rival, Hilary Clinton, as folks who are "bitter, [and] they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them…"
Romney's supposed gaffes from the trip fall well short of serious, but the controversy is not entirely inconsequential. The controversy matters because it means the trip was something of a missed, or at least a not-fully-realized opportunity. The trip was well-designed to draw attention to how President Obama's approach to foreign policy has managed to offend close friends and partners, all to no good end. Whether it was the trivial insults of Obama's tacky gifts to British counterparts, or the more consequential dismissal of missile defense commitments to the Poles, or the very serious mismanagement of U.S.-Israeli relations, Obama has repeatedly offended allies without accomplishing anything important for U.S. national interest in the process.
Romney's trip could have drawn attention to those facts, indeed was probably designed to do so. The media controversy, artificially hyped by Obama partisans, was designed to distract attention from those facts. At least for the most recent news cycles, it seems that Obama's designs trumped Romney's.
As for the larger effects on the campaign, it is doubtful this trip will have much lasting impact and, if it does, it probably marginally helps Romney. The negative spin from the trip is mostly artificially media-driven, and the press will quickly move on to some other controversy, faux or genuine. However, some voters care very deeply about Israel and Poland, and Romney's trip likely resonated with them more positively than the Obama campaign would like to admit. They may be the only ones who remember details from the trip and, if so, the details they remember may reinforce their inclination to cast a ballot for Romney.

The consumerisation of IT is the growing trend for information technology to emerge first in the consumer market and then drive change in the industry generally. One of the most dramatic impacts of this shift is a rise in so-called "bring your own device" strategies in both public and private enterprises.
In the past, the functionality of your work computer and phone tended to be streets ahead of what you used at home. Remember the days when employees would show off their work PDAs, smartphones and laptops as perks of their job? These days, increasing numbers of employees have better access to technology at home than they do at work, with personal devices and apps that are user friendly and convenient in ways that their work equipment and systems are not. Employees also wish to work differently (working remotely, outside regular hours, on the weekend, on vacation, etc. are becoming the norm) and users want their business tools to enable this change. Employees also want to limit their need to carry and manage multiple devices. The answer? Bring your own device to work.

I'm into quite a bit of outdoor activity, that's one of the best things about living in Salt Lake!
In the winter you can find me hovering around Snowbird and the Wasatch backcountry, glued to the weather/avalanche reports.
In the spring/summer/fall you can find me stuck on a bike of some sort. Whether it's doing my 3 weeks downhill-resort-style in Whistler, to rallying XC and freeride in Moab, Fruita, and Brian Head, I make the rounds. Also known to cruise around at high speeds on the asphalt, on my single speed city cruiser. If I'm not on my bike, you'll either find me backpacking or day hiking with my dog Snake... anywhere from Mill Creek, to San Rafael Swell, to Goblin Valley.
Being outdoors makes me smile.
Great cut, comfortable and airy! Stoked on this jersey, looks good, feels good.

First of all, I'm really picky when it comes to my bike shorts. They need to fit right, have ample pockets, and be able to handle abuse. I ordered 6 different pairs of shorts and returned all of them but these. They are super comfy, and stretchy, which I really like for comfort, and there's mesh panels in the back and side to breathe. Adjustable waist cinchers help dial in the fit and there's pockets galore, 5 total. They are technical, but don't look like bike shorts, as you could go somewhere after riding and not look like a goon.

But what I've also said is that the United States can't get in the middle of somebody else's civil war. We're not going to put troops on the ground. We can't enforce militarily a settlement there. What we can do...
STEPHANOPOULOS: But in the past, you said he had to go.
OBAMA: What we can do -- what we can do is make sure that the worst weapons, the indiscriminate weapons that don't distinguish between a soldier and an infant, are not used. And if we get that accomplished, then we may also have a foundation to begin what has to be an international process in which Assad's sponsors, primarily Iran and Russia, recognize that this is terrible for the Syrian people, and they are willing to come in a serious way to arrive at some sort of political settlement that would deal with the underlying terrible conflict that's taking place.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And you're-- and President Putin has become your unlikely partner--
OBAMA: Yeah.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ...in this. And, you know, even in this op-ed, which has stirred up a lot of controversy here in United States, he said, "There's every reason to believe that the rebels are the ones who used the chemical weapons." So does that tell you he's willing to lie to protect Assad?
OBAMA: Well, nobody around the world takes seriously the idea that the rebels were the perpetrators of this...
STEPHANOPOULOS: He wrote it in The New York Times.
OBAMA: Well, I understand. What I said is nobody around the world takes seriously the idea that the rebels perpetrated this attack.
Now what is true is that there are radical elements in the opposition, including folks who are affiliated with al-Qaeda, who, if they got their hands on chemical weapons, would have no compunction using them in Syria or outside of Syria.
And part of the reason why we've been so concerned about this chemical weapons-- issue is because we don't want those folks getting chemical weapons, anymore than we want Assad to have chemical weapons. And so the best solution is for us to get them out of there.
But with respect to Mr. Putin, I have said consistently that where the interest of the United States and Russia converge, we need to work together. And I had talked to Mr. Putin a year ago saying to him the United States and Russia should work together to deal with these chemical weapons stockpiles, and to work to try to bring about a political transition..
STEPHANOPOULOS: But do you trust...
OBAMA: ...inside of Syria.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ...he has the same goal? Do you really trust that?
OBAMA: Oh, I don't think that Mr. Putin has the same values that we do. And I think obviously by protecting Mr. Assad he has a different attitude about the Assad regime.
But what I've also said to him directly is that we both have an interest in preventing chaos, we both have an interest in preventing terrorism. The situation in Syria right now is untenable. As long as Mr. Assad's in power, there is going to be some sort of conflict there, and that we should work together to try to find a way in which the interests of all the parties inside of Syria, the Alawites, the Sunnis, the Christians, that everybody is represented and that there is a way of bringing the temperature down so that -- that horrible things that are happening inside the country...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you...
OBAMA: ...are continuing to happen.
