Fulham skipper Danny Murphy expects Gianfranco Zola's West Ham to prove tough opposition this weekend.
"West Ham will be a tougher proposition due to their new manager," he told fulhamfc.com. "Obviously when a new manager goes to a club they have an immediate effect. Everyone is trying to impress, everyone is fighting for a position, so their players will all be up for it, but I think they would be anyway. It's a London derby and their fans are very passionate like ours, so they'll want their team to perform.
"I'm expecting a good game. I think any team under Zola will be a good footballing one. I don't think for a second he's going to have them launching it from the back! So I think from a spectator's point of view it will be a good game of football. I'm sure there'll be chances for both sides because it's between two attacking sides who like to win matches.
"So, it's a game that everybody is looking forward to, especially us because we had the bad result last weekend and we want to put that right."

Retracing the Steps of Apollo 15
November 29, 2012
The Apollo "J" missions were designed to allow the crews to stay and work longer on the Moon's surface and included a Lunar Rover so they could explore several kilometers away from the Lunar Module. Hadley Rille and the Apennine Mountains provided a dramatic backdrop for the first Apollo "J" mission. This landing site presented Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott and Lunar Module Pilot Jim Irwin not only a spectacular view, but access to two key geologic features: a "young" volcanic sinuous rille and "older" highland massifs. These geologic features afforded a chance to sample different events from the Moon's geologic history: early crust formation and late stage volcanism. Over the course of 3 EVAs (Extra-vehicular Activities), Scott and Irwin covered a total distance of approximately 28 km (17.4 miles), collected approximately 77 kg (170 lbs) of rock and soil samples, and spent 18.5 hours exploring the Moon's surface. The LROC Narrow Angle Cameras (NAC) provided 50 cm/pixel resolution images of the Apollo 15 landing site. Previous images showed the Lunar Module descent stage, Lunar Rover, ALSEP instruments, and darkened paths of regolith disturbed by the crew and the rover. he third and final EVA of Apollo 15 brought the astronauts to the edge of Hadley Rille (lower left). Disturbed regolith is observed along the crater rim at station 9 and at the edge of the rille at station 9A. Rover tracks are visible between stations 9A and 10. Image width is 520 m, 0.52 m/pixel, LROC NAC M11171816R. Credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University

We have all been there. The case of the Monday's or just another long day. The 3 o'clock afternoon crash when our coffee has worn off and our eyes can barely stay open. The infamous 'drag' has begun and all we want is to do is take our cranky, fatigued suits or uniforms (pun intended) away from the office. Some of us run to the nearest coffee shop and re-fuel – until the cycle starts all over again. Despite a productive morning, the struggle begins in the afternoon crunch.
The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, (published by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine) has released findings on a nationwide study on the relationship between workplace productivity and health. This study is one of the first to focus specifically on rates of fatigue among U.S. workers, and how they correspond to worker productivity.
The study concluded that a workplace can manage fatigue in a controlled active culture of health and well supported work environment. However between customer demands and the willingness of employees to work unconventional hours, or requests for night shifts due to work-home balance considerations, challenges are inevitable.
How do we help ourselves and each other to support a healthy work atmosphere when working hours and sleep schedules are non-negotiable?
Create accountability partners in your office! It works like this: A team of employees sign a roster or pledge allegiance to apply their best efforts for life-at-work behavior to fight fatigue. Throughout the day everyone participating briefly journals using a publicized, shared checklist of the activities they completed.
These very simple practices make a huge difference and affects everyone that works around you.
- Eat breakfast no matter what -whether you are on a diet or not, this meal is essential for everyone. Bonus: Try this green smoothie (see recipe below)
- Snack often and on healthy foods - like nuts, raisins, protein bars and fresh veggies.
There are tons of desk side snacks to choose from without a lot of sugar. Dried and fresh fruit contain natural sugars so eat in moderation.
- Drink plenty of water - coffee will never replace water and is even more of an energy booster over time and lasts longer.
- Take a break - Get out and walk! Exercise on your hour instead of going for that long sit-down lunch. If you don't have a gym or shower at your office go to the restroom with your towel and soap at the sink. Nothing should get in the way of your fitness and well-being. Taking even a fifteen minute brisk walk can do wonders for your brain, eyes and attitude! When you return to the office smiling, the person who didn't walk will wonder how they can feel that good in the afternoon too!
Workplace warrior- This smoothie is fast to prepare, delicious, and made with common ingredients that you probably already have in your refrigerator. It tastes great and makes you feel good – all day.
Simple Ingredients:
2 cups of raw Kale
2 cups raw spinach
2 bananas
5 stalks of celery
1 cucumber (peeled or skinned)
1 apple (any kind) I prefer (Fuji)
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 inch fresh ginger root
1 1/2 cups of water
Easy Instructions:
1. Put the ingredients in your juicer
2. Pour into a travel container and go!
Be well, feel better and improve endurance at work.

Frankie Cocozza was painted as a party boy with a weakness for women but his stint on Celebrity Big Brother has seen a surprising about turn for the star.
On last night's episode Frankie stuck up for Denise Welch, spouting some very wise words which sparked #GoFrankie to start trending on Twitter.
[See also: Frankie is now the CBB hero]
[See also: Frankie Cocozza is the bookies fave to come 2nd]
While the boy's behaviour may have baffled the British public, one man in particular wasn't surprised to see a different side to the star.
Fellow X Factor contestant, Marcus Collins told omg! exclusively just how lovely the lad is:
"Frankie has been made out as some kind of embarrassment, he's such a nice kind giving person.
"He's always been tactile and gentle. People are starting to see the softer side to him which was always overlooked."
CBB hero: Frankie stuck up for Denise last night
It didn't help Frankie's case that he boasted about bedding 70 girls and was snapped partying every night but Marcus leapt to his defence adding:
"He likes to go out and date girls —but who at 18/19 doesn't want to do that? That's just who he is.
"The other side is over-played a bit — it [the drugs scandal] was blown out of proportion. He's not like that at all."
So did Marcus swell with pride that his mate came across so maturely last night?
"I absolutely adore watching him, it's like we're back in the X Factor house.
"It's as if I'm sitting with him while he's smoking his head off - he makes me laugh at the things he comes out with!"
Best buds: Marcus Collins only had good things to say about his pal Frankie /wENN
And the bromance isn't just for omg! reporters' ears, the boys genuinely are friends and there's already a reunion planned for when Frankie leaves the house.
"Our group of friends was The Risk, Frankie, Jonjo Kerr and me —they were all the lads and then me.
"Jonjo is off to Afghanistan so we're going to meet up and got for a nice civilized meal and Frankie would be missed if he wasn't there."
At the moment Marcus is preparing himself for his debut single, Seven Nation Army released on March 4th and then his self-titled album which has had a helping hand from Gary Barlow....
"I've been writing putting the hours in and working with some amazing producers and songwriters including Gary. He's been very passionate about helping me out.
"I've got so much to say that the songs keep coming out we're doing a song a day and before we knew it, two weeks later, we had enough for an album."
While Marcus focuses on his music, Frankie will be fostering an image change from inside the walls of the Big Brother House….
Fast mover: Marcus will have his debut album and single out in March /WENN
"Frankie is becoming a more polished man and a gent - he's learning from his mistakes!
"Big Brother is going to open people's eyes to him, he is being molded into someone his family can be proud of."
You know what Marcus, it already has.
Marcus will be performing on the X Factor tour throughout February, March and April.

Baker, VA's assistant secretary in the Office of Information and Technology and chief information officer, and Warren, the principal deputy assistant secretary in the office of information and technology and principal deputy chief information officer, are putting into action the recommendations made by the Ruthless Reduction Task Force to squeeze more savings out of their technology spend.
VA's IT budget was $3.1 billion in 2011 and the agency requested about the same for 2012.
The task force submitted its final recommendations — a 104-page report — to Baker and Warren earlier this month detailing IT areas that are ripe within VA to reduce spending.
"We pulled our senior staff together and said 'the [budget] wall is coming,'" Warren said. "We had been fortunate we'd been running on a reasonable budget path, but we saw where things were going and we needed to make sure we were efficiently utilizing all the resources we had. We told them to leave no rock unturned."
Warren said VA is estimating it can save or avoid spending about $50 million in 2012.
Warren highlighted several of the task force's recommendations:
- Get rid of desk side printers. "Why does someone need a desk side printer?"
- Move to multifunction devices. "Use that copier-fax machine as a printer. Get away from those things that cost you money."
- You can't have a laptop and a desktop. "Get to efficiency, one or the other."
- Reevaluate who needs a mobile device. "It shouldn't be a convenience. It needs to be there for mission delivery. One of the largest unconstrained costs that CIOs are faced with are their communications costs. So how do you get your arms around that?"
- Consolidate contracts. "We're working on a couple of at enterprise contracts to reduce our prices down. We are reviewing every one of our contracts. We are looking at what our spend was last year, what our spend was the year before and what are folks projecting and asking why it's costing that much? What are they getting for it? We don't accept the amount you spent last year as a given to be the amount you spend this year. We challenge every dollar to make sure those resources are applied to the greatest value to the veteran."
- Virtualization. "You don't need server for every application. Figure out how to use the technology."
"We've already started moving out on some of them. But effectively what we do now is we take this great concept and operationalize it," Warren said. "We will work with the acquisition folks to make sure we don't buy these printers unless there is a clear mission need for them. We will work with the folks who need to write the policy, to write it, staff it, and put it through the governance process and make it a reality."
Warren said the report is more than something that looks good on paper, but every initiative will have an owner and the CIO's office will hold them accountable through monthly progress report meetings.
"There is a lot of focus on outcomes, commitments and measuring and constantly interrogating, 'Are you there yet? Why not? Let's keep moving. What do you need from me?'" Warren said.
Shared sacrifice
While several of these initiatives seem straightforward, Warren said removing desktop printers or asking employees to choose a laptop or a desktop becomes as much an emotional issue as a logical one.
"When you get into that conversation everybody understands shared sacrifice is necessary for us as we go forward. Things you have counted on in the past aren't necessarily needed," he said. "We need to be truly thinking about how do we squeeze the most outcome out of every dollar we get? It's a lot of conversations. It's a lot of consultations and sometimes it's a decision by fiat, again with support by the leadership, 'we aren't talking about this anymore folks. This is costing us a lot of money, whether in the IT account or in the other accounts. Let's get away from this. Let's do a better utilization of these resources.'"
Warren said the use of mobile devices is another one that will take some time to implement, but the payoff is huge.
"Many organizations have their own relationship with a telecommunications provider, and what you find is there is an overhead for every single contract you have with every single provider," he said. "If you go do your search and say how many contracts do we have with provider A? You will find multiples. If you go to provider A and do a single contract, you can drive your prices down by 10-to-15 percent."

I don't think the naysayers understand how business works. Nintendo has enough funds to survive atleast four or five Virtual Boys and the Wii U will certainly perform much better than that. I'm sure even the most pessimistic Anti-Wii U goer will acknowledge the Wii U will have far more success than the Virtual Boy did. Nintendo would have to have multiple complete failures in a row for for it to actually do significant damage to them and they're not nearly so stupid. If something doesn't work, they seek to fix it, they wouldn't have survived this long if they didn't understand that.

Lol Sony is definitely gonna outlast Nintendo lets be real here. A company that relies on its sale of video games, that's not selling video games right now. They will br handheld only by 2020, I'm guessing sooner. M$ just gonna throw money at everything as always, with their quantity over quality attitude they have.

The Ps3 really cut into Sony's profit margin due to this 'sell at a huge loss and make up for it in software' tactic and the Vita is currently far behind the 3DS in sales. Clearly, having superior hardware isn't the only factor costumers make. I don't say that as a fan of anything, it's just objective observation.

Nintendo is only alive case of their exclusives (Mario, Zelda ... etc)
I must have missed that everybody that have ever visited GameFaqs are forced to vote in the poll.
I have not voted today, which means that the poll does not represent all GameFaqs users.
GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC
One of the choices doesn't make sense to me. Why would Nintendo continue making handhelds, but go third party in the console market? Then people could get a Nintendo fix without having to purchase a handheld, so wouldn't that still be bad for Nintendo's hardware market?

Update on Arizona rancher Robert Krentz murder case
A "person of interest" possibly linked to the murder of longtime Arizona rancher Robert Krentz has been identified by Douglas-area police.
The Arizona Daily Star reports:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office is looking for a person of interest in several burglaries this year in the Portal area in southeastern Arizona.
It is looking for Alejandro Chavez-Vasquez, who has given authorities various birth dates and lives in Agua Prieta, Mexico. Officials say he has a criminal history with convictions that include sex crimes, auto theft and being in and returning the the U.S. after being deported, according to a news release.
The news release doesn't identify Chavez-Vasquez as a person of interest in the killing of longtime rancher Robert Krentz on March 27, but a news release of this type is unusual for the department, and the Portal area is just north of where Krentz was found dead on his ranch.
Chavez-Vasquez is currently only a person of interest in the burglaries.
But Cochise County Sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas said she didn't dismiss the possibility that Chavez-Vasquez could provide useful information in the Krentz investigation. "It would depend on what he would be able to tell us about other burglaries or other open cases we have," Capas said.
Just a reminder that Smart Girl Politics' Arizona chapter is holding a border clean-up event in Krentz's honor on April 24 in Bisbee. Be sure to click the link for details.

The alternative would be a symlink of > course, but then you're forcing everyone who wants to do a quick > module build to include the stuff needed for all architectures > (since that's what's in the hypothetical kernel-devel package). But that is exactly the point of discussion. A kernel-devel package should be per kernel version, arch and flavour, not a conglomerate. That way you both have less bloat and it is universal to be extended to arbitrary kernel, e.g. ones in future errata, custom kernels and so on. The all-errata-in-one package would need extra maintainance from a central place, and would only allow building for the given set of kernels. So with kernel-2.6.8-9.8.7.i686.rpm you get a symlink /lib/modules/2.6.8-9.8.7/build -> /usr/src/kernel-headers/2.6.8-9.8.7.i686 And kernel-devel-2.6.8-9.8.7.i686.rpm contains the headers in /usr/src/kernel-headers/2.6.8-9.8.7.i686 A kernel module src.rpm BuildRequires kernel-devel >= 2.6.0, you drop one (or more) of the various kernel-devel packages and point the rpmbuild to it like rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'kernel 2.6.8-9.8.7' --target i686 foo-kmdl-1.2.3-4.5.6.src.rpm (perhaps the target option could even be skipped) and this builds kernel-module-foo-2.6.8-9.8.7-1.2.3-4.5.6.i686.rpm That's all, folks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

Sounds like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a lovely meeting with Pope Francis.
They talked for about a half-hour, focused on peace talks and touched on Iran. Netanyahu's wife, Sara, encouraged Francis to visit Israel. And Netanyahu gave the pope a book with the inscription, "To his Holiness Pope Franciscus, a great shepherd of our common heritage."
The one slightly uncomfortable part may have been that the book was about one of the worst things the Catholic Church has ever done to the Jews.
The book was "The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain," the scholarly magnum opus written by the prime minister's late father, Benzion. The in-depth tome on the Spanish Inquisition describes how the church persecuted, and often executed, masses of Jewish converts to Catholicism who were accused of secretly practicing Judaism.
Maybe the gift was yet another reminder from Netanyahu about the dangers of ignoring an existential threat to the Jewish people (read: Iran). Maybe the pope is an avid student of history.
Or maybe, in an age where a Jewish prime minister can meet cordially with the pope, it's a sign of just how far we've come.

Latest Shedd Aquarium Stories
Shedd Aquarium working with GREMM and its scientific collaborators to support research and conservation of beluga whales in the St.
The ocean is an increasingly industrialized space. Shipping, fishing, and recreational vessels, oil and gas exploration and other human activities all increase noise levels in the ocean and make it more difficult for marine mammals to hear and potentially diminish their range of hearing.

Saturday marks the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, the landmark piece of legislation designed to protect critically imperiled creatures from extinction in the US due to economic growth and development.
An Atlanta-based aquarium is drawing criticism from animal rights advocates for their plans to import 18 beluga whales captured off the eastern coast of Russia.

Aztecs seek to pull monumental upset at Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio —— Outmatched and outclassed and with numerous outsiders predicting a defeat by an outlandish margin, San Diego State's football program is out to shock the nation.
The Aztecs venture into Big Ten country for the fourth time in five seasons Saturday when they visit ninth-ranked Ohio State, and nobody is expecting anything other than a Buckeyes' romp.
It would rank as a stunning upset if the Aztecs (0-2) were to surprise the Buckeyes in front of the 100,000-plus fans at Ohio Stadium. San Diego State never has beaten a top-10 team in 14 tries, and the Buckeyes (1-1) are an angry team after losing an early-season showdown to Texas seven days ago.
"I think it's lovely to go into a place where nobody is giving you a chance," junior defensive tackle Jonathan Bailes said. "It's just us against the world. I feel that is more of a drive for us. Everybody wants to count us out after two games, and I feel like there's a lot of fight left in us."
The Aztecs have certainly performed solidly as prohibitive underdogs on the national stage this decade. They gave Michigan all it wanted last season before losing by three points and have twice given Ohio State more than it ever envisioned.
In 2001, Ohio State fans booed the Buckeyes off the field at halftime with the Aztecs holding a 12-6 lead. But the Aztecs disintegrated in the second half, committing turnovers on five consecutive possessions in a 27-12 loss.
Two years ago, the Aztecs held Ohio State to 196 yards in a 16-13 loss. The Buckeyes were just 1-of-14 on third-down conversions and tallied their lone touchdown on a 100-yard interception return by Will Allen.
"In 2003, they could have beat us. And in 2001, it was a slugfest," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "Our guys have a lot of respect for how San Diego State plays the game. They've come into our stadium twice with some excellent schemes that have given us a lot of problems.
"So there's an amazing amount of respect that our guys have for the Aztecs."
The current Aztecs have fewer veterans than the previous two teams that visited the famed Horseshoe.
That means numerous youngsters walking out on the field for the first time and being awed with the intimidating double-deck facility and the boisterous atmosphere with scarlet-and-gray clad fans everywhere they look.
"I remember coming out of the locker room to warm up and there wasn't very many people in there at the beginning, but you can still hear the noise rumble," said junior linebacker Joe Martin, who played on special teams in 2003.
"You go back in and then five minutes before the game starts, you go back out and the stadium is filled with 105,000 people and that's when it hits you.
"It's just amazing. It's a dream come true to be playing in a huge stadium with 105,000 people. It's remarkable."
This is the final game of a three-year contract between the two schools, and there are no plans to continue the series. Aztecs coach Tom Craft has called for softer schedules, and new athletic director Jeff Schemmel agrees that the Aztecs have overscheduled in recent years.

Lake Charles looks at alternative fuels
Lake Charles city officials are taking a new look at alternative fuels for public vehicles. City Councilman Rodney Geyen has been pushing Lake Charles City Hall officials to research the costs and savings of using natural gas to run vehicles.
Geyen points to the Lafayette Consolidated Government as an example of what can be done. Lafayette officials have told Geyen that a $25,000-a-month fuel bill for five city buses was reduced to $1,800 a month using compressed natural gas.
Lake Charles officials are concerned about the potential cost of converting its vehicles to use compressed natural gas, along with the purchase of new vehicles.
However, The American Press reports (http://bit.ly/PhoS1A) that city and Calcasieu Parish officials this past week renewed discussions about the use of alternative fuels.

To Jenny Patoc, a 41-year-old Filipina helper, Hong Kong is the place where she met her girlfriend 15 years ago and where they unofficially tied the knot at their own "holy union" ceremony last year — despite the semi-autonomous territory's failure to recognise same sex marriages.
"In Hong Kong, we are free. We can show who we are," Patoc told AFP in the southern Chinese city's packed Central financial district on a recent Sunday, where thousands of helpers congregate every week on their one day off.
While conservative attitudes still prevail in aspects of Hong Kong society, for many migrant workers the former British colony is an easier place than home to be gay, particularly those from Muslim Indonesia and the deeply Catholic Philippines.

Emotionally Abused :-(
so sorry your having to go though that. personally if things were that bad even with my mom being 5 hrs drive away i would still leave and drive my ass all the way to her. good luck hun
I'm sorry for the way your SO is treating you. You deserve way better and it's not healthy for you or your baby. You should talk to your mom and if you can, make the 5 hour trip to go stay with her. Your SO will only come to his senses after he realizes he can't take you for granted!!!

You and your baby really do deserve better. I agree with the PPs advising that you go stay with your mother. That's what moms are for, and you'll be much safer with her. I hope everything works out for you!
After lots of infertility heartache, our beautiful daughter was born on December 31, 2012, conceived via IVF with donor eggs.
There's always help. Church, friends, shelters. Get out while you can and before he hurts you or the baby.

Rainbow Baby Born Jan19th!
Well basically I left him when I was 11 weeks pregnant. I drove by myself from southern az to Washington DC where my family were.
2 MONTHS after I left his friend that I thought that would either kill me or drug me KILLED another woman! That could've been me! He's locked up for life with no chance of parole.
Baby daddy and I didn't speak much for 3 years. Then one day out of the blue he emailed me. I wasn't mad at him for not talking to me after that long. After all I did leave first and break his heart. Well we grew up a lot and 3 months later got married. We had our ups and downs but we know that I made the right choice for our baby.
I hope you follow your motherly instinct!

Anonymous surfing with Java Anonymous Proxy
Many Websites log IP addresses and access times to identify users. If you don't want to wind up as data in someone's market research, the Java Anonymous Proxy will keep your surfing secret.
Unless you happen to be a VIP, you can drop into a baker's shop anywhere but in your own home town and pay cash for a loaf of bread without revealing your personal data. Nobody will record the way you move or attempt to discover your behavior patterns. In day-to-day life, anonymity is the rule. In contrast, the Internet allows seamless logging of visitor traffic on websites. This continuous data collection allows for unique visitor identification; all it takes to identify a user is a short phone call to your provider, who is easily identified via a whois entry, to get your personal data. Governments have passed laws to prevent the most extreme misappropriation of personal data, but Internet users with static IP addresses are still easily identified on the web through a simple whois request.

The Dominion Triumphant: A Star Trek Dystopia
View Single Post

Location: Maine
Re: The Dominion Triumphant: A Star Trek Dystopia
U.S.S. Defiant
Delta Quadrant
Stardate 57385.50 (January 1, 2381)
What I wouldnt give for a decent cup of raktajino right now. Dr. Julian Bashir leaned against a biobed. Freshly brewed.
Iced, Dax added. With extra cream.
A truly vile beverage, Garak said. The Klingons may have been great warriors, but their coffee was nothing short of dishonorable. Now, a hot cup of Rokassa juice well, that would certainly be a welcome treat. However, Cardassian refreshments are in understandably short supply.
Yes, Bashir murmured. They are at that.
A moment passed. Conversation did not come as easily as it once had, back when the universe made sense. There was a great deal of history between the three individuals in the
s sickbay, and Dax was well aware that even being in the same room together evoked some very uncomfortable memories.
But one had to push on into the future eventually. Captain Dax smiled at Bashir, exclaiming, You know, its been a while since weve had a chance to really sit down and talk, Julian. How are you these days?
Bashir shrugged. As good as anyone, I suppose. Ive spent the last few months helping eradicate a nasty mini-epidemic of Jauntaride influenza out in the camps. Honestly, its nice to get back out into space and away from that disease-infested planet for a while.
I heard about that flu, Dax said. As I recall, there were no fatalities.
Not this time, Bashir sighed.
Dax couldnt help but feel concerned at the visible change in her friend. When she had first met Bashir all those years ago on Deep Space Nine, he had been an optimistic young man brimming with energy, eager to practice what he had referred to as frontier medicine. This man before her today was so different that he seemed like another person entirely. Older beaten down. It was sad.
Still, nice work, Julian, she offered.
Bashir curtly nodded and managed a wan smile. And you, Jadzia? Obviously youve made Captain.
It was Daxs turn to be ambivalent. Yes well. There are lots of captains in the fleet, but not a whole lot of ships.
Youre being altogether too modest, Jadzia, Garak said. From what Ive heard, your work in organizing the various sensor arrays around the Erehwons system Oort Cloud has been nothing short of miraculous.
Dax chuckled. Well, thank you, Garak, but in all honesty it was extremely dull work. I performed more complex tasks as a student at the Academy.
All of our tasks have taken a turn for the mundane, Im afraid, Bashir said. I suppose the days where we would gallivant around the galaxy searching for adventure behind every nebula are behind us now.
Perhaps, Garak replied, But we also must consider ourselves extremely lucky to be alive and free, as opposed to rotting in a Dominion prison camp somewhere.
Bashir glanced at Garak, who met his gaze with a knowing look. The two had spent some time in such a prison camp before the war. It was there that Garaks father and mentor, Enabran Tain, had perished. It was there that Bashir had languished helplessly while, back on Deep Space Nine, his changeling doppelganger had successfully completed his deadly mission.
And hey, look on the bright side, Julian, Dax said. There may not be any nebulae around, but were out here in the galaxy, gallivanting.
Bashir couldnt help but smile. So noted, Captain.
Daxs communicator chirped.
Nog to Captain Dax.
Go ahead, Nog.
Preliminary scans are coming in on the unknown vessel.
Ill be right there. She glanced at the two men. Coming?
I wouldnt miss it for the world, Bashir muttered.
On the bridge, Nog stood hunched over a mini-viewer at the Ops station. Dax sat in the captains chair as Garak and Bashir stood on either side of her. What do you have, Nog?
Its still a little fuzzy, sir, the Ferengi replied. But I can give you a visual.
On the viewscreen, Commander.
The large viewscreen at the front of the bridge came to life. A tiny blob appeared in the middle of the screen, surrounded by tiny pinpricks of white light.
Can you magnify that image, Nog?
This time the image was clearer. Dax could definitely make out the lines of a Federation starship.
Captain, Nog cried out. The bogey! Its changing course.
Helm, adjust course to intercept. Nog, whats the bogeys new heading?
Nog checked, and check again. Dax looked over at him. Nog?
The Ferengi met her gaze. Its on an intercept course for
, Captain!
This is certainly a troubling development, Garak said.
How could they have detected us? Bashir walked over to Nogs station to confirm his readings. Were cloaked!
Their long-range sensors must have picked us up despite the cloaking device, Dax surmised. If they have a bead on us, it doesnt make much sense to run now.
The Vulcan at the helm turned around and said, Orders, Captain?
Maintain an intercept course.
The lieutenant at Tactical, an older human female, spoke up. Captain, the bogey is now at warp nine. Estimated time of intercept twenty-two minutes, sir.
Red Alert, Dax ordered. If this other ship comes in shooting, I want to be ready for it.
The bridge was bathed in red light. Commander Nog, Dax said, Now that the cat is out of the bag, perform an active long-range scan and get me some details.
Aye, sir. Scanning.
An active scan would normally give away the location of any cloaked vessel. In this case, the point was moot.
stayed cloaked, but extended its sensor reach to its full capacity.
Nog completed his scan "Captain. Its an
-class vessel. The...
U.S.S. Voyager
, sir.
? Dax looked up at Bashir, who had resumed his place at her side. Do you remember a ship by that name, Julian?
Yes, Julian replied matter-of-factly. She docked at DS9 a couple of years before the war began, on a mission to locate a Maquis raider in the Badlands.
Confirmed, Nog stated. Starfleet last made contact with the
U.S.S. Voyager
on Stardate, um, 48315 while the vessel was on a search-and-retrieval mission in the Badlands.
was declared missing in action on Stardate...48500.
Daxs eyes widened. So that ship has been in the Delta Quadrant for almost ten years?
Give or take, Bashir noted.
Garak frowned. Ten years ago. Would our friends on Voyager have known about the Dominion?
Bashir nodded. Voyager docked at DS9 a couple of months after the JemHadar destroyed the Odyssey. Im sure they know about the Dominion but certainly not about the war.
If they are who they say they are, that is, Garak replied. We still cant be sure this isnt some kind of Dominion ploy.
The tactical officer called out, The vessel is hailing us, Captain!
Dax couldnt help but wonder what Benjamin Sisko would do in this situation. Focus, Dax, focus, she thought to herself. Ben isnt here. Its your ship now.
What the hell, Dax muttered. Onscreen.

Kickended by Silvio Lorusso is online database artwork archiving the Kickstarted campaigns that got not even a single penny. This competitive aesthetics of failure has been able to attract the attention of major national newspapers (from the British "The Guardian" to the Italian "Corriere della Sera").
Postcarts, cartoline d'artista
Coniglio Editore, ISBN 8888833730
The mail art network, self-defined as ethereal, had long conceptually anticipated the telematic one, and its own media (the postcard, the stamp and the rubber stamp) have been field for experiments in tiny spaces, transmitting contents through global, and delayed, distances. These cultural objects, that still circulate in the physical network of shipping in pre-formatted data structures, constitute as many media deeply manipulated in years by mail artists. The postcards are examined here are a specific archetype, already used without causing an uproar by the major twentieth century avantgarde. In the synthesis constrained in a few square centimeters a completely open communication takes place. Derrida effectively defined it as 'not private nor public', or rather both. The medium has the peculiar characteristic of being readable in any of the distribution nodes through which it travels. This process has been often exploited in the past as a transformation tool, nevertheless it's still unknown to the net art community. The delayed time of communication was of a many-to-many type well before the theorist of the electronic networks told us the news. And this type of communication has enabled a different awareness of the network and its extraordinary reactivity when properly aroused with few strategic moves. Those who actually can use a few megabits of bandwidth per second should learn this very important lesson.

Lorenzo Demands Yamaha Upgrade
Posted by Colin Young at 10:31 am
MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo is piling the pressure on Yamaha to upgrade his factory M1 with a seamless shift gearbox, as he mounts an increasingly desperate defense of his title.
Lorenzo wants the gearbox fitted to his bike for the remaining eight races of the season, starting with the Czech Grand Prix this Sunday (Aug. 25).
He has vowed to back his demand by declaring he can win both the Czech and British GPs, which run back-to-back over the next two weeks.Brno, Czech Grand Prix, Dani Pedrosa, Honda, Indianapolis GP, IndyGP, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez, MotoGP, Silverstone, Yamaha
Honda Performance Development Reveals 2014 LMP1 Engine
Posted by Media Release at 1:22 pm
Honda Performance Development, the racing arm of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., is continuing its commitment to customer LMP1 endurance sports-car racing with the 2014 introduction of an all-new, turbocharged V6 engine, to be followed in 2015 by a range of bespoke energy recovery options, for FIA World Endurance Championship competition.
After several successful seasons supplying the normally aspirated Honda LM-V8 engine to private teams in both the WEC and American Le Mans Series, HPD engineers and designers made the decision to offer their partner teams access to updated technology which the company believes will be necessary to successfully compete on the world stage, under the ACO's new LMP1 energy-based power train regulations.
The new engine, to be designated the Honda HR22T, is based on the same architecture used in the Indianapolis 500-winning, 2.2-liter direct injection turbocharged V6 engine used in IZOD IndyCar Series competition since 2012, designed to be coupled with a new energy recovery system developed in concert with HPD technical partner Magneti Marelli.Honda, HPD, Sports Cars, WEC

After publicly declaring how she is in "serious debt" thanks to real estate losses and a "little shopping problem," RadarOnline.com has learned that the actress, 40, turned reality TV star has landed a new acting gig.
ABC Family is adding a new comedy series Mystery Girls, to its scripted slate, which is starring and produced by Beverly Hills, 90210 alums Spelling and Jennie Garth.

The pilot was created by mother—of-four Spelling and follows the story of Holly (Spelling) and Charlie (Garth) as former cast mates on a popular '90s crime TV series that are brought back to their detective game years later.
"I love performing and I love doing comedy, and it's funny, in my mind that's what I think I excel at and it's funny that people don't know me for comedy," Spelling said in a new interview.

"I put acting kind of on the back burner doing reality and building my brand for so many years that it'll be nice to go back to TV and do something scripted."
The new gig should offset her family's "financial ruin" and help to pay for their new rental in Encino, a house that, according to its real estate flyer, is costing them $10,500 a month.

Here are five things that can make your company a place where employees love to work and hate to leave.
- Do you laugh and joke at work? Laughing and having fun create energy that is easily directed into production — as long as the jokes aren't harsh and offend people. I am talking about good-natured fun in good taste.
- Employee engagement is directly tied to your employees being in the right place. Constantly ask your employees if they enjoy what they are doing, and if they don't, try to find the right place if they are a keeper. That's just like being a good host of a party.
- Make sure the ambiance is right. I have seen many offices that are so poorly lit that it can effect a person's mood and disposition. Who wants to sit in the dark? Being too cold or too hot can have an effect as well.
- Have a nice lunchroom or gathering spot that is a cool hangout for people. Some Fortune 500 companies have salons, gyms and Starbucks located inside the building. They get it! Employees love coming to work at those companies.
- Create a culture that works hard and plays hard, too. Plan an annual picnic or softball game — or some activity that is fun, fosters teamwork, and is something enjoyable but not work related.
If your employees keep leaving, you just don't know how to throw a party! Making money should be fun!
