DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) is the train going through Dublin to the villages and towns (suburbs) north and south of Dublin. It is very convenient to use if your doing a daytrip to visit the places along the coast.
Tickets can be bought from machines or the booking-office . At Connolly Station the line for buying the ticket was very long early in the morning, but it was also very quick.
I took the DART to Killiney and back from Dalkey. A return ticket to Killiney/Dalkey is 4.10 Euro (February 2007). The trains are quite frequent and runs every 10 - 20 minutes and it takes about 25 minutes.

- Backpacking
Get there by DART
Take a DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) from Dublin city centre south. After half an hour you will reach Dalkey. (You might have to change trains in Dun Laoghaire though). Walk through Dalkey town to the seafront and start walking south towards Killiney.
Darting to Dalkey
Usually the best way to get to Dalkey from Dublin is by the DART commuter train. It takes about 30 minutes and will cost about 2 euro. You can also catch the 7D bus from Dublin but it takes at least an hour so unless you actually enjoy bus journeys . . .

Even a Big Mac seemed expensive last quarter.
Despite a menu seemingly designed to withstand smaller budgets, McDonald's reported a rare downturn in sales and profits last quarter. The slide in McDonald's results show that even the most robust companies are being hurt by the latest economic downturn.
Net income was $1.3 billion, $1.32 a share, from $1.4 billion, $1.35 a share, a year earlier. Analysts expected earnings of $1.37 a share. McDonald's faced a "slowing global economy" and "persistent headwinds" in the quarter, the company says. And a stronger dollar reduced earnings by seven cents.
It's a rarity for McDonald's to underwhelm the Street: Its last disappointing figures were from the fourth quarter of 2010.
"This was a challenging quarter for McDonald's given the strong U.S. dollar, higher commodity costs and given the weaker sales climate in Western Europe," says Edward Jones analyst Jack Russo, who kept his Buy rating on the stock. Commodity costs are expected to rise in coming months, as a drought in the Midwest weighs on food prices.
Shares of McDonald's dropped 3.5% to $88.44 in pre-market trading. Under the direction of CEO Jim Skinner, McDonald's was able to grow sales and profits in the past ten years, by refreshing its menu and stores and expanding into key new markets. Investors came to expect consistently high sales growth from the world's largest hamburger chain. The stock climbed nearly 280% in 10 years, and grew 63% in the last three years alone. McDonald's was the best performing Dow component last year.
Little seemed to impede McDonald's, the world's largest hamburger chain, while rivals struggled. Both Burger King and Wendy's were left to attempt turnarounds; new fast-causal competitors like Panera Bread and Chipotle appeared to be afterthoughts. Until recently, that is.
Now McDonald's torrid growth is slowing. Sales at established locations increased 3.7% in the second quarter, down from 5.6% a year earlier. Total sales were $6.91 billion, short of the $6.94 billion forecast by analysts. For sure, consumers worldwide need to stretch incomes further today, in a climate of weak economic growth and lagging wage growth. This means less to spend on dining out.
The most troubling aspect of McDonald's curtailed growth: Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Growing middle classes there are seen as key drivers of overseas plans for many U.S. companies—and none too insignificant buyers of American goods. Reports from Yum! Brands, for example, reflect Chinese demand for American staples, like KFC's fried chicken and Taco Bell's Tex-Mex.
Yet McDonald's says demand from these emerging markets is nearly flat. In the second quarter, sales there increased just 0.9%, down from 5.2% a year ago. That segment's operating income fell 2%.
Europe too is experiencing a fall in demand. Sales expanded by 3.8%. Contrast that with the 5.9% growth seen last year. Operating income decreased 2%.
America was the lone bright spot, with sales up 3.6% and operating income increasing 2%. Still, sales growth is down from 2011′s 4.5%.
Analysts were quick to point out that McDonald's remains a top choice for investors, if not the best-run fast-food company. An attractive valuation coupled with a tendency to richly reward shareholder has analysts' bright outlook on the stock intact. The shares trade at 16 times expected 2012 earnings of $5.56 and 14.5 times 2013 earnings of $6.13. (That would mean earnings growth of 5.5% and 10.3%, respectively.)
Janney Capital Markets analyst Mark Kalinowski maintained his Buy rating on the stock this morning. "Our Buy rating is driven by impressive-same store sales trends in the U.S., which we believe are attributable to best-in-class store level execution," he says. "We believe that McDonald's will continue to grab additional market share in all three major geographies, helping the stock over time."

CA asked to bar DOJ from acting on Ortega murder case
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines–Lawyers of former Palawan governor Joel Reyes asked the Court of Appeals to stop the Department of Justice (DOJ) from acting on the murder case of environmentalist and broadcaster Gerry Ortega.
In a petition for certiorari and prohibition filed with the Court of Appeals, a copy of which was sent to reporters Sunday, Reyes through counsel said the DOJ is bent on finding a way to prosecute Reyes despite the appeals court ruling.
The appeals court, in two other related cases, has twice rebuked the Office of the Secretary of Justice for issuing Department Order 710 which created a second panel of investigators to handle new discovered evidence in the Ortega killing. The second panel recommended that the former governor and his brother Coron Mayor Mario Reyes be prosecuted for murder.
The appeals court, however, rebuked the second panel and affirmed the ruling of the first panel that dismisses the case against the brothers.
"The Office of the Secretary of Justice, however, remains obstinate and is set to find a way around the obstacles arising from the Honorable Court's twin decisions. In an obvious legal maneuver to frustrate and defeat the finding that there is no probable cause against Petitioner, Secretary Leila de Lima has declared that Patty Ortega's appeal from the resolution of the initial preliminary investigation will be reviewed and resolved as a matter of course. This, they will do even as Secretary de Lima insists on the validity of Department Order No. 710 and the resolution of the reinvestigation in their pending motions for reconsideration before the Honorable Court," the petition stated.
Custodio, in seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) against De Lima, pointed out that the secretary of justice is persecuting the Reyeses, who had been her client while she was still in private practice.
Reyes previously filed a Motion to Inhibit last April 2, 2013, asking De Lima to recuse herself and to order the recusal of others who may act on her behalf, including her undersecretaries, from acting on all petitions for review or appeals filed by the parties.
The defense argued that "the Secretary has lost the cold neutrality of an impartial judge and has even demonstrated her unmitigated desire to prosecute petitioner (Reyes) in complete disregard of the latter's due process rights."
Earlier, De Lima said "her office is readying a contingency plan – resolution of the pending petition for review filed with her office by the Ortega family," which "would be conducted by one of her undersecretaries."

Colorado Marijuana Legalization Initiative, Amendment 64 (2012)
|Amendment 64
|Click here for the latest news on U.S. ballot measures
|Quick stats
|initiated constitutional amendment
|Colorado Constitution
|Referred by:
|The Cannabis Therapy Institute
|On the ballot
The initiative was filed eight different times with the Colorado Attorney General around the date of May 20, 2011 in hopes of making the 2012 ballot. All of the initiatives would ask whether or not to legalize the use and possession of, at most, an ounce of marijuana for residents who are 21 and older. In addition, all eight initiatives would allow the state to regulate retail sales of the drug. The proposal was filed eight times, with some differences, in order for supporters to see which one would pass the Title Setting Review Board, and allow for circulation of petitions.[3]

In 2006, 59% of Colorado voters rejected Amendment 44, which would have legalized the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for those 21 or over. Medical marijuana is legal in Colorado under the terms of a bill signed into law by Gov. Bill Ritter, but some marijuana activists say that the time is right to expand the legality of marijuana to cover recreational use also.[1][1]
- Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol
- Democratic Party of Colorado
- Moms and Dads for Marijuana Regulation
- The Cannabis Therapy Institute in Boulder, Colorado, announced on June 11, 2010 that it planned to put together a campaign to qualify an amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would make recreational use of marijuana legal The campaign launched in support of the proposed initiative is Legalize2012.com[4].[1]
- Brian Vicente, executive director of Sensible Colorado stated: "I think people in this state have come to understand that marijuana is not the dangerous substance that law enforcement and the federal government have made it out to be."[5]
- According to Tony Ryan, a former police officer with the Denver Police Department, and who is helping with the initiative: "During my 36 years as a Denver cop I arrested more people for marijuana than I care to remember, but it didn't amount to one bit of good for our citizens. Keeping marijuana illegal doesn't do anything to reduce marijuana use, but it does benefit the gangs and cartels who control the currently illegal marijuana trade."[6]
- The group Smart Colorado is the main opposition to the measure.
- State Senator Steve King stated about the initiative effort and possible ballot measure: "I honestly believe that when Coloradans go to the ballot box they're going to vote no to dope in Colorado."
- James D. Kellog, founder of LiberTEAWatch.com, stated in a column published by the Glenwood Springs Post Independent about marijuana legalization: "The Constitution of the United States guarantees that American citizens are generally free to make choices about their lives. But when it comes to marijuana and other drugs, we must tread carefully. Coloradans should ponder a simple question. Can our communities conceive an effective plan to keep legalized pot out of our kids' hands? Perhaps we should look to alcohol for the answer."[7]
- Corey Donahue, a marijuana legalization activist, stated that the measure does not go far enough to legalize marijuana. Donahue argued: "It's going to have regulations, so it's going to create more rules. Regulation isn't legalization."[8]
- In a letter written to the Colorado Attorney General urging him to oppose the measure, Smart Colorado Attorney Jon Anderson stated, "As you know, Colorado has the most expansive medical marijuana industry in the country. To further expand their drug profits, this industry will invest enormous sums of money to erase all state restrictions on growing, transporting, and selling marijuana in Colorado. It is critical that Colorado voters understand the serious legal and policy implications of passing such a dangerous law."[9]
Possible presidential election implications
According to reports, Colorado is a key state in the 2012 presidential election, and the marijuana measure could have broad implications in November. Reports say that President Barack Obama's and Republican candidate Mitt Romney's stance regarding marijuana legalization, regulation and taxation like alcohol could influence voters in Colorado.[10]
- See also: Polls, 2012 ballot measures
- A majority of voters surveyed in a poll released on August 11, 2011 by Public Policy Polling stated they were in favor of legalizing marijuana. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.3%, and the question asked to voters who were surveyed was: "Do you think marijuana usage ought to be legal or illegal?"[11][12]
- Another poll conducted by Public Policy Polling was taken on the issue of marijuana legalization. The results of the poll were released on December 9, 2011. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5%.[13]
- The results of a survey conducted by Rasmussen Polling on June 6, 2012 were released on June 9, 2012 showing strong support for the Colorado Marijuana Legalization Initiative. According to the findings, 61% of those polled support the legalization of marijuana if it is regulated like alcohol and cigarettes. In contrast, 27% were opposed to any legalization and the remaining 12% were undecided. 500 likely voters were polled and the poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.[14][15]
- According to a poll released by Public Policy Polling on August 8 of 779 likely voters, 47% said they supported Amendment 64, while 38% of those surveyed opposed it. The poll had a margin of error of +/-3.5%.[16]

Bruce v. Colorado Title-Setting Board
A lawsuit was filed on July 11, 2011 against the proposed ballot measure, stating that the proposal does not make it clear that taxes would be raised. Douglas Bruce, of Colorado Springs, filed the lawsuit with the state Supreme Court.
However, Brian Vicente of Sensible Colorado stated that the five-business day allowance to challenge the measure has already passed. A spokesman for the Colorado Secretary of State claimed that since the ballot measure language was revised, the legal challenge could move forward.[17]
Path to the ballot
In order to qualify the initiative for the 2012 ballot in the state, supporters must gather 85,853 valid signatures by the August 6, 2012 petition drive deadline. Valid signatures must come from registered voters in the state.
The eight filed proposals were heard on June 1, 2011 by the Colorado Office of Legislative and Legal Services. Suggestions that the committee gave pertaining to the wording of the proposals included clarifying the state's medical marijuana laws and other references to it. Other suggestions included technical matters such as using both "ensure" and "insure" throughout the proposals. According to reports, more specifics about what the phrase "under the age of 21" meant were requested.[18]
Election Review Board
During the week of June 15, 2011, it was reported that all eight filed ballot measures were under review by a state election review board. Supporters of the measure will wait to hear from legal challenges before deciding on which measure they will move forward with and collect signatures for.[19]
Challenges were made to the proposed ballot measure language by marijuana legalization supporters during the week of July 6, 2011. Challenges included the accusation that comparing the drug to alcohol is flawed. There is no limit to alcohol purchases in the state, but the ballot proposal includes a provision that marijuana possession has limits, according to the challenge. Other supporters of legalization say that it is too much to ask voters to approve marijuana with no limits, hinting that it could fail if placed on the ballot.[20]
Signature collection
Despite protests from other marijuana supporters who claimed the measure is flawed, signature collection began on July 7, 2011. According to one of the petition drive organizers, Mason Tvert, the campaign is aiming to appeal to Republicans and older voters instead of those who are already on board with the proposal.[21]
As of September 1, 2011, the campaign to put the initiative on the ballot had collected 35,000 signatures, according to reports.[8]
It was reported on September 24, 2011 that supporters had collected nearly half of the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot.[22]
Signature gathering
According to reports, supporters of the initiative plan to turn in signatures on January 4, 2012. Supporters stated they would submit more than 155,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State's office. Signatures were submitted that day.[23][24]
However, on February 3, 2012, the Colorado Secretary of State announced that the initiative effort had fallen short about 2,500 signatures. According to reports, supporters of the proposal have until February 15, 2012 to submit the additional signatures required to make the ballot.[25]
Supporters of the initiative turned in the additional signatures needed to make the ballot. Signatures are awaiting verification, but reports out of the state suggest that the approximately 14,000 additional signatures could help them reach the ballot.[26]
On February 27, 2012, the Colorado Secretary of State verified the signatures, placing the measure on the 2012 ballot.[27]

Specular formulas simulate lighting coming with a particular polarity pattern while Diffuse lighting simulate lighting coming with polarization patterns on a different axis.
When a light wave (polarised or not) hits a surface, it's reflected and refracted. Specular simulates the reflected parts, and Diffuse simulates the refracted parts.
Light that's polarised in different ways is still partially reflected and partially refracted (so: requires both diffuse and specular formulas).

10 real-life ways muggles can experience Harry Potter
Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 12:40 PM
The first of two movies that wrap up Harry Potter's adventures comes out Nov. 19, with the final installment arriving in theaters in July 2011. With the possibility of an eighth volume in the series very slim, muggles — or non-magical people — may be looking for a way to continue experiencing the magic of J.K. Rowling's fictional world.
Luckily, there are a variety of ways you can interact with fellow wannabe witches and wizards and get a taste of life at Hogwarts. If you've ever wanted to catch a snitch, sample a butterbeer, take a course in Transfiguration or even fight the Dark Arts, you can. You won't even need a wand — just a little imagination.

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope is a space action drama film that came out in the year 1977. It is a movie about a young man who teams up with a Jedi Master to help rescue a princess and restore freedom to the galaxy. This has been one of the most popular and influential films in history. The movie has become an iconic part of cinema and is one of the greatest films of all time according to many critics.
During a Galactic Civil War, the Empire is looking to retrieve plans for the Death Star. The Death Star is a large space station facility that is capable of destroying entire planets. This is one of the more powerful things that the Empire is using to establish their control. A large ship pursues a smaller ship being flown by the Rebel Alliance and Princess Leia. One of the leaders of the Empire Darth Vader walks in after following a group of storm troopers. The storm troopers stun the princess and capture her. At the same time two androids known as R2 D2 and C3PO escape in a pod with the plans. They land on a desert planet named Tatooine. There they meet a young man named Luke Skywalker who is a farmer for his uncle.
Shortly after the droids are bought by Luke and his uncle, R2 D2 leaves the home of Luke and he looks for the android with the help of C3PO. Luke finds R2 D2 but is attacked by the Sand People who are a group of indigenous beings on the planet. However Luke is rescued by a mysterious man named Obi Wan Kenobi. Obi Wan is an old Jedi Master who is familiar with the Empire and the fate of Luke's father. He offers to train Luke to be a Jedi. Luke is at first reluctant to but decides to proceed once he finds out that his aunt and uncle have been murdered. Shortly after this, they meet a smuggler Han Solo to rescue the Princess, and in the end Luke helps the Rebel Alliance destroy the Death Star.
Wedge Antilles was an accomplished starfighter pilot who helped the Rebel Alliance out of more than one tight spot in the original "Star Wars" trilogy. As the Alliance re-emerges and heads into battle in the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII," it looks like Wedge is going to be AWOL. Denis Lawson, the actor who played Wedge in the original trilogy, told an audience at a screening of a new movie he's starring in that he had been offered a part in the new "Star Wars" film but that he'd turned it down.
Will the great Gary Oldman add one more major movie to his credentials? The British-born "Harry Potter" actor has revealed he is in talks about appearing in J.J. Abram's upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII." "They've called," Oldman says. "You know, I'm more cynical about it now. I'll believe it when I'm on the plane home. The deal isn't done but yeah, they've inquired. I mean, 'Planet of the Apes,' 'Harry Potter,' 'Batman,' and 'Star Wars.
According to Alan Horn, chairman of Disney Studios, "Star Wars: Episode VII" is already in production, even though casting for the film is "not completely done yet." Horn said last week in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that most of the film's major roles have been filled and that, after some tweaking, the script is finished. The film, which is scheduled to open in December of 2015 and is set about 35 years after the events depicted in "Return of the Jedi," is still mostly shrouded in mystery.
A rare blooper reel featuring behind-the-scenes outtakes from "Star Wars: Episode IV" has been around for awhile, but it's just now getting widespread attention from the mainstream media. The YouTube clip embedded below getting millions of hits, and all the exposure probably means that it won't be around much longer. As blooper reels go, the two-and-a-half-minute clip is nothing spectacular, but behind-the-scenes footage from the original 1977 "Star Wars" film is scarce, making the reel a treasure for fans.
Although some might be a little nervous with "Star Wars" now in the clutches of Disney, news coming in of the upcoming "Star Wars Episode VII" seems to be reassuring. J.J. Abrams helming the project did create a few sighs of relief, after all… and the option of having our favorite characters return certainly has some skeptics a little more forgiving of the idea. While Harrison Ford has expressed interest in returning as Han Solo, but its Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) who is being the most outspoken about possibly reprising his role.
Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed in an interview with CNBC that there are a few more "Star Wars" films in the works than originally expected. "I can confirm to you today that in fact we are working on a few standalone films, Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga. We still plan to make Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015. But there are going to be a few other films released in that period, too.
Stuart Freeborn, the exceptionally talented makeup artist behind "Star Wars" characters Yoda, Chewbacca, and Jabba the Hutt, has passed away. Freeborn was 98. According to his granddaughter Michelle Freeborn, Freeborn "died Tuesday in London from a combination of ailments due to his age." "He was a really fun and imaginative individual. He gave you the feeling that if you wanted to achieve something, you should just get on and do it, and don't ever use excuses," Michelle said of her grandfather.
So let's make sure this is absolutely clear, George Lucas. You thought absolutely nothing of making Greedo pop off the first shot at Han Solo, generating fandom controversy that will haunt you until you're cremated. You gave the world Jar Jar Binks, and ultimately convinced the world that you'd years ago been replaced by a look-alike drooling mental patient You mustered the nerve to digitally insert Hayden Christensen into the iconic end moments of "Return Of The Jedi," just to remind us all that once we've watched the prequels, we can never un-watch them.
Hey, everybody! There's good news regarding . . . Well, "good" feels debatable. Um . . . Unfortunately, there's bad news concerning . . . "Bad?" Well, the last three movies were unintentional-comedy gold . . . News! There's things to know and tell and speculate on concerning the live-action "Star Wars" series that George Lucas has been plotting to unleash on an unsuspected, unprepared world for years. Yidio: We Take A Stand! What seems like many moons of Endor ago, during an interview conducted far, far away with G4's "Attack Of The Show," the "Star Wars" creator, writer and director mentioned casually that he had even longer ago written about 50 hours worth of material for a live-action TV series carrying on the franchise's name.

try one of these
Option "NvAgp" "0" ... disables AGP support
Option "NvAgp" "1" ... use NVAGP, if possible
Option "NvAgp" "2" ... use AGPGART, if possible
Option "NvAGP" "3" ... try AGPGART; if that fails, try NVAGP
ok, i shoulda ask this before but is your card agp? if it is one of the above might work. the device section, wich was hard to choose, the layout of the file can be confusing did not have any options to start agp wich i needed. the above is from the readme text on nvidias site:
this is out of appendix f. i also used the forum at
wich had a lot of configs posted, i used them to determine were to put the line. they also have some posts wich tell you how to check to see if agp or any other modules are loaded or not and what files to check for clues, you have to look at the posts regarding failed nvidia installs. mandrake and redhat are very similar, ive loaded both. in regards to lines, sometimes it will tell you were the error is by line number, just count each line, blank or not and youll find the offending error. and i did not try to compile on this load, i started fresh giving a clean install to start with. i installed about 6 times before cuz i kept crashing the system. i hate to tell you to do this cuz it made me want to throw all of my pcs away but you got a lot of reading ahead of you keep at it. i also made a lot of stupid mistakes and overlooked or did not notice something really stupid=bad news.
generally the people in the forums are others like you, including me so be careful.....good luck!!!!!

Today President Obama signed the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act ("AIA") into law, thus completing the first major overhaul to the patent act in almost 60 years. You can read our prior alerts, which provide an overview of the revisions here and here.

We have included a table below for ease of reference in deciphering when the various provisions of the AIA go into effect. The default effective date of the AIA is set in Section 35, which provides that "Except as otherwise provided in this Act, the provisions of this Act shall take effect upon the expiration of the 1-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to any patent issued on or after that effective date." Since the bill was enacted upon President Obama's signature today, the effective date of the AIA will be the expiration of the one-year period starting September 16, 2011.

Dammit shookie_monster! If you keep putting out these incredible platformers people are going to start thinking this is a shookie fansite.

Why Guest Posting and Blogging is a Slippery Slope - Whiteboard FridayBlog Post: January 17, 2014
Hey, great post and hits the nail with the hammer.
Is the http://moz.com/labs/link-acquisition part of the site going to be adapted in any way to target particular industry journals/sites which are highly relevant to clients?
It kind of works to find sites at the moment; but I'd personally remove the directory search element as it brings up link directories i.e. http://uk.ezilon.com/ which are not typically found in UK search engines; and (in my view) shouldn't therefore have any presence on the web. I detest these directories which charge for you to add your URL to a site which offers views through a) no referral traffic b) no authority.
I'm also having to send the following literature to the endless numbers of guest bloggers that contact me to charge for their blogging service.
There is much talk in SEO about building relationships with editors of sites, or to encourage others to write about your own brand/company or your clients; however despite me changing my job title on my email from "SEO exec" to 'marketing exec' they're all wise to the fact that I'm trying to get exposure for my clients, albeit as naturally as possible. They're not that silly to allow themselves to be warmed up to a request at a later date; unless you know them personally.
Any suggestions on how to draw in inbound links naturally, without trying to get blood out of a stone?

Fiery Orioles manager Earl Weaver dead at 82
Sunday - 1/20/2013, 2:30am EST
By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
BALTIMORE (AP) - Earl Weaver always was up for an argument, especially with an umpire.
At the slightest provocation, the Earl of Baltimore would spin his hat back, point his finger squarely at an ump's chest and then fire away. The Hall of Fame manager would even tangle with his own players, if necessary.
All this from a 5-foot-6 pepperpot who hated to be doubted.
Although reviled by some, Weaver was beloved in Baltimore and remained an Oriole to the end.
The notoriously feisty Hall of Fame manager died at age 82 on a Caribbean cruise associated with the Orioles, his marketing agent said Saturday.
"Earl was a black and white manager," former O's ace and Hall of Fame member Jim Palmer said. "He kind of told you what your job description was going to be and kind of basically told you if you wanted to play on the Orioles, this was what you needed to do. And if you couldn't do it, I'll get someone else. I know that's kind of tough love, but I don't think anyone other than Marianna, his wife, would describe Earl as a warm and fuzzy guy."
Baseball lost another Hall of Famer later Saturday when longtime St. Louis Cardinals star Stan Musial died at age 92.
Weaver took the Orioles to the World Series four times over 17 seasons but won only one title, in 1970. His .583 winning percentage ranks fifth among managers who served 10 or more seasons in the 20th century.
Dick Gordon said Weaver's wife told him that Weaver went back to his cabin after dinner and began choking between 10:30 and 11 Friday night. Gordon said a cause of death has not been determined.
"It's a sad day. Earl was a terrific manager," Orioles vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said. "The simplicity and clarity of his leadership and his passion for baseball was unmatched. He's a treasure for the Orioles. He leaves a terrific legacy of winning baseball with the Orioles and we're so grateful for his contribution. He has a legacy that will live on."
Weaver will forever remain a part of Camden Yards. A statue of him was dedicated last summer in the stadium's flag court, along with the rest of the team's Hall of Fame members.
"Earl Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball," Orioles owner Peter Angelos said. "This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans. Earl made his passion for the Orioles known both on and off the field. On behalf of the Orioles, I extend my condolences to his wife, Marianna, and to his family."
Weaver was a salty-tongued manager who preferred to wait for a three-run homer rather than manufacture a run with a stolen base or a bunt. While some baseball purists argued that strategy, no one could dispute the results.
"Earl was well known for being one of the game's most colorful characters with a memorable wit, but he was also amongst its most loyal," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "On behalf of Major League Baseball, I send my deepest condolences to his wife, Marianna, their family and all Orioles fans."
Weaver had a reputation as a winner, but umpires knew him as a hothead. Weaver would often turn his hat backward and yell directly into an umpire's face to argue a call or a rule, and after the inevitable ejection he would more often than not kick dirt on home plate or on the umpire's shoes.
Orioles programs sold at the old Memorial Stadium frequently featured photos of Weaver squabbling.
He was ejected 91 times, including once in both games of a doubleheader.
Asked once if his reputation might have harmed his chances to gain entry into the Hall of Fame, Weaver admitted, "It probably hurt me."
Not for long. He entered the Hall in 1996.
"When you discuss our game's motivational masters, Earl is a part of that conversation," Baseball Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said. "He was a proven leader in the dugout and loved being a Hall of Famer. Though small in stature, he was a giant as a manager."
His ejections were overshadowed by his five 100-win seasons, six AL East titles and four pennants. Weaver was inducted 10 years after he managed his final game with Baltimore at the end of an ill-advised comeback.

The initial treatment consisted of taking 1 capsule daily of either 30 mg of duloxetine or placebo for the first week and 2 capsules of either 30 mg of duloxetine or placebo daily for 4 additional weeks.
The researchers found that at the end of the initial treatment period, patients in the duloxetine-first group reported a larger decrease in average pain (average change score, 1.06) than those in the placebo-first group (average change score 0.34). The observed average difference in the average pain score between the duloxetine-first and placebo-first groups was 0.73. Of the patients treated with duloxetine first, 59 percent reported any decrease in pain vs. 38 percent of patients treated with placebo first. Thirty percent of duloxetine-treated patients reported no change in pain and 10 percent reported increased pain.
The authors note that the results suggested that patients who received platinums (oxaliplatin) may have experienced more benefit from duloxetine than those who received taxanes.
Pain-related quality-of-life improved to a greater degree for those treated with duloxetine during the initial treatment than for those treated with placebo.
"In conclusion, 5 weeks of duloxetine treatment was associated with a statistically and clinically significant improvement in pain compared with placebo. Exploratory analyses raise the possibility that duloxetine may work better for oxaliplatin-induced rather than taxane-induced painful chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy," the researchers write.

More foreign, local corporate donations for 'Yolanda' victims roll in
popular .
Aid from corporate donors, both here and overseas, continues to flow in despite the logjam in connecting relief efforts with survivors of Supertyphoon "Yolanda."
This early, however, at least one donor has already set its eyes on the reconstruction efforts for hard-hit areas in Leyte and Samar provinces.
International investment banking giant Credit Suisse said it would donate $400,000 to local charities, including housing specialists Gawad Kalinga and Habitat for Humanity Philippines.
The amount will come primarily from Credit Suisse's staffers in the Asia-Pacific region, through the efforts of Filipinos working for the financial institution.
"Both charities will be working on providing immediate emergency relief to victims of the typhoon in the short term and on rebuilding efforts in the affected communities in the long term," Credit Suisse said.
"In addition, the bank will support the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies."
Meanwhile, the local unit of petroleum giant Shell has mobilized its retail stations and depots around the country as drop-off points for aid donations.
In a statement, Shell said it activated its disaster relief and donation plan, and organized activities to provide immediate assistance to affected families in central Philippines.
Shell is also working hard to provide steady supply of fuel products in a safe and efficient manner in the affected areas, the company said.
On Thursday, Japan-based electronics firm Hitachi Ltd. said it would donate 10 million Japanese yen (P4.35 million) to assist in the relief efforts.
Hitachi also expressed its "deep condolences" for the victims of the typhoon, adding that it "sincerely hopes for the earliest recovery of the people and areas in the Philippines that have been affected by the disaster."
White Knight Automobiles, the distributor of Morgan Cars in the Philippines, said it would donate water filtration units through the Rotary Club of Makati.
"The filtration units are ideal and timely to the needs of those people in Tacloban because we all know that aside from supplies of food, water shortage is also a problem in the area," White Knight Automobiles CEO Morgan Say said.
Members of the Rotary Club of Makati are planning to fly to Tacloban this weekend to turn over to authorities donations for the victims of Yolanda.
Printer manufacturer Epson Philippines announced a donation of P2 million for relief operations in areas ravaged by Yolanda.
Aside from monetary aid, Epson employees will also work with the Philippine Business for Social Progress to undertake on-site relief operations. Contributions from Epson employees are also being aggregated by the company to complement the aid that the company has donated.
Global resources firm BHP Billiton donated A$500,000 to the Red Cross in response to the devastation wrought by Yolanda in the Visayas region.
"The typhoon and its aftermath have had a severe impact on communities in the Philippines and given our history and relationship with the people of the Philippines, we hope this donation will assist the Red Cross in helping the local people in their recovery from this terrible event," said BHP Billiton president Mike Henry.
The donation came from the Australian firm's BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities, a charity it established as part of its community investment program.
Apart from the A$500,000, BHP Billiton will donate A$2 for every A$1 donated by an employee through its Matched Giving program.
German chemical giant Bayer also said it would provide "immediate relief and reconstruction assistance worth up to 650,000 euros, or P38 million.
The company is providing immediate financial aid of 100,000 euros, or P5.8 million, to the German Red Cross, it said.
"Bayer intends the money to be used to support the work of medical teams and the operation of health centers in the disaster area," it said. "Bayer will also provide the Red Cross in the Philippines with urgently needed medicines to the value of 400,000 euros or P23.5 million."
Malaysia's Maybank, through its local subsidiary Maybank Philippines Inc., has donated a total of 1 million Malaysian ringgit (P13.7 million) to the Philippine Red Cross in aid of relief efforts for the victims of Yolanda.
The donation will be used to provide additional medicine, food and potable water supply in Tacloban City, which is the focus of Red Cross' relief efforts.
"Our sympathies and prayers are with the government and people of the Philippines, as they go through the grief arising from this natural disaster. We hope that our contributions will bring urgent relief to those who require it most and help them rebuild their lives," Maybank chair Tan Sri Megat Zaharuddin said.
Petroleum firm Total (Philippines) Corp. also mobilized employees and resources to help those affected by Yolanda.
It designated its service stations as drop-off points for donations and allocated a portion of the proceeds from its fuel sales as donations to the Red Cross.—With a report from Amy Remo

1990 Chevrolet Lumina APVVisitor, Warren, OH, September 16, 2011 13:00The van is reliable but I have a story. A temperature controlled valve that sits in front of the distributor got snapped when we were replacing a seal on the distributor. We thought "Ok. We'll just have to get another." Funny thing is nobody seems to know what it is. The vehicle is a 1990 Lumina Van with a 3.1L engine.If anyone here knows please email me at email@example.com and let me know. Lol. I do appreciate your time.
1990 Chevrolet Lumina APVVisitor, Panama City, FL, September 11, 2010 15:46I bought this apv cargo van for my landscape irrigation business. It was April 1994 with 63,889 miles. Replaced original engine at 181,000 miles due to oil pump failure. I now have 309,000 miles total on van. Have had issues with a/c not cooling completely. Still has original transmission. Change oil every 3,000 miles, always have repairs made at local Chevolet dealer. Love my van, wish I had another.

Labor raises minimum wage for feds, contractors
Thursday - 6/12/2014, 4:50pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Many federal workers and contractors who earn the minimum wage are getting a raise next year.
Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez has issued a rule to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10. The higher level applies to new federal construction and service contracts beginning Jan. 1.
President Barack Obama had announced the raise earlier this year, but Perez moved to put it into effect.
In a conference call with reporters on Thursday, Perez said no person who works a fulltime job should have to live in poverty.
Perez is calling on Congress to raise the minimum raise for all workers. The Senate passed such a bill earlier this year but it stalled in the GOP-led House.

THE place to stay at Beech Mountain!!
Lyon's Den is also pet-friendly for a VERY reasonable fee, which really made me happy, because I hate to board my dog. The pet fee was less than 2 night's boarding! And, even though they allow pets, the unit was very clean, no pet fur or anything else that would make non-pet owners unhappy.
The wood-burning fireplace was great, makes for a nice evening snuggling by the fire. Cable TV and DVD player in the living room, so bring your movies. There's also internet available in the clubhouse, which is just a short walk from the unit. The clubhouse also had puzzles, big screen TV, and washer and dryers if you need them.
Lastly, the price was absolutely amazing!! Shop around, you won't find a better price at a condo OR a hotel anywhere in the area. We will definitely be returning to Lyon's Den.
Perfect size for family of 4

Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with non-negative costs on its edges, a root node r V with demand v D wishing to route w(v) units of flow (weight) to r, and a positive number k, the Capacitated Minimum Steiner Tree (CMStT) problem asks for a minimum Steiner tree, rooted at r, spanning the vertices in D in which the sum of the vertex weights in every subtree hanging o# r is at most k. When D = V , this problem is known as the Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree (CMST) problem. Both CMStT and CMST problems are NP-hard. In this paper, we present approximation algorithms for these problems and several of their variants in network design. Our main results are the following.

Ben Clark recall, Fremont School Board, Idaho (2012)
Reasons for recall
Julianne Hill filed the recall petition. The recall effort stemmed from criticism of how Clark handled a $2.4 million supplemental levy election that failed at the polls. Hill was a supporter of the levy, which was rejected by voters.[3] The petition against Harris stated that he had "repeatedly shown he is not representing the goals and desires of his constituents."[1]
Path to the ballot
Recall organizers needed to gather 241 signatures by August 14 in order to force a recall election.[1] Recall organizers were unable to gather enough signatures, and the recall effort was abandoned.[2]
