Region's only permitted pot dispensary closes
Judge grants landlord permission to move ahead with eviction
"We are a small club that deals directly with severely ill people and we are very picky about who we deal with," he said. "The federal government, the most powerful entity in the world, goes after these little landlords instead of dealing with the municipalities and the states that are creating laws that put people in jail under false pretense."
More than 200 medical marijuana collectives in San Diego and Imperial counties have shut down since U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy and her colleagues last October announced massive enforcement actions aimed at distributors and growers in California. Some closures also were attributed to lawsuits and settlements involving the San Diego City Attorney's Office.
Duffy and her office were closely monitoring the flow of legal action between Mother Earth and its landlord, Wing Avenue Investments LLC.
In a statement to local media, she said providing "medical marijuana" was not a defense to criminal liability or to property forfeiture.
"The United States Attorney's Office supports eviction of the commercial marijuana businesses, like Mother Earth, that operate outside of federal law," the statement said.
Among those to come to the aid of the dispensary were Democratic Rep. Bob Filner, a candidate for mayor of San Diego. In a July 13 letter to Duffy, Filner called repeated threats to the landlord a form of "unwarranted intimidation."
"The co-op operates under a strict county ordinance that mandates that the facility is inspected monthly by the San Diego Sheriff's Department and according to these inspection reports, all parties have followed the letter of law," Filner wrote, adding, "I understand that you have a duty to enforce federal law, but hope that you will keep in mind the will of the voters of California."
That the county, which had long fought the spread of medical marijuana, would become the only local government agency to approve a dispensary, struck many as deeply ironic.
San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, the board chairman, said given increased federal efforts, news of the closure was not surprising, regardless of how the operation was permitted.
"What we really need is a law created by medical professionals that deals with medical marijuana in the same way we do any other prescription medication," Roberts said Tuesday. "I have friends who have battled cancer and found relief from medical marijuana, so I understand there is a legitimate need."

Following their Recent Lawsuit, Do You Think These Shoes are Safe?
Do the Vibram brand "Five Fingered Toe" shoes work? With their recent lawsuit against them for supposedly making fraudulent health claims, you'll have to wonder whether these barefoot simulating shoes really work. People like myself typically look up reviews for product to make sure we're not burning on money on things that don't work. On first view, you'll see a lot of positive reviews on how the Vibrams are a great product. Some people state that it helped their postures. Athletes who use this for running claim that the Vibram shoes helped them increase their leg and feet strength. This is popularly believed because Vibram shoes simulate barefoot running, which initial studies claim is beneficial for improved mobility and strength. However, in the current lawsuit against Vibram, there have been studies that claim that there are insufficient studies to properly prove that the claims that Vibrams make are true. The evidence suggests that there is less shock absorbency for runners who are rear foot strikers, opposite of the accompanying evidence showing that forefoot striking runners benefit from this. Also, there are several health risks that must be considered when considering the benefits of barefoot running or running with Vibram shoes or similar. That is not to say that Vibrams do not deliver. In this end, this is all a matter of opinion, which involves some intensive research to get to your preference. In retrospect, it could be that those reviewers of Vibrams do truly benefit them and can be a good asset for runners. In the end, it's up to you to decide.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō Columbia City United Methodist Church, 605 Forest Parkway, will host a spaghetti dinner Friday, Feb. 10, from 6-7:30 p.m.
Proceeds from the dinner will benefit CCUMCŌĆÖs Childcare and Youth Group.
There will be live music at the $5 per person dinner.

SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆō AMVETS Post #2919, South Whitley, is hosting a ValentineŌĆÖs Prime Rib Dinner Open House Saturday, Feb. 11. Boneless chicken will be available too.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō Using accelerated electrons to sterilize all sorts of things seems pretty hi-tech for Whitley County. However, for Jeff Blakely, general manager for Iotron Industries, itŌĆÖs just another day at the office, he told Columbia City Rotarians at their weekly meeting.
One of Whitley CountyŌĆÖs newest hi-tech companies that has located in Park 30 Industrial Park, Iotron is a Vancouver-based Canadian firm that chose Whitley county for one of its newer facilities.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō "Wind farmers in Whitley County" is the topic that has flooded The Post & Mail's Opinion pages in recent editions of the newspaper.
A sampling:
"I was 12 years old when rural Whitley County received electricity. However, almost every farm had a windmill, usually located close to the back door of the home.
"They made noise when they were running, made shadow flicker when blades were turning, yet no one got sick or experienced other medical problems.
"I am a former Trustee of Washington Township. I understand budgets, assessed valuations and tax rates.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō Janice Daniel, of rural Columbia City, outlasted a field of dozens of entries in The Post & MailŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Supercharged Pigskin PicksŌĆØ contest, earning her $25 and the title of ŌĆ£Super Picker 2012.ŌĆØ
Daniel successfully picked eight of the 12 proposition questions in regards to SundayŌĆÖs big game that crowned the New York Giants champions of the National Football League with their 21-17 win over the New England Patriots.
The proposition questions ranged from which team would win the coin toss to which defense would make the first quarterback sack.

According to Columbia City Police Chief Tim Longenbaugh, the suspect was described as a white male, 5'7" to 5'10", with a medium build and red facial hair. He was reported wearing a black hat, black jacket and blue jeans.
According to police scanner traffic he was believed to get in a vehicle near carriage house flowers and headed southbound on Line St.
Columbia City and Indiana State Police are investigating the scene.

That was said during a public work session Monday night in Churubusco.
Members of the board were discussing with the public the proposed building plan, presented to them by the Strategic Planning Committee of the school.
Superintendent Steve Darnell heads that committee and explained the process of the plan.
ŌĆ£We met for five months,ŌĆØ said Darnell.
Judy Platt doesnŌĆÖt like the spotlight, but thatŌĆÖs exactly what she got at MondayŌĆÖs Smith-Green Community School Board meeting.
Platt was honored as the Teacher of the Month.
Platt has taught fourth grade at Churubusco Elementary School for 22 years. She began her teaching career while working for Cindy Zollinger, also a fourth teacher at CES.
ŌĆ£Judy came in with a passion for students from the very beginning and continues with that same intense passion today,ŌĆØ said Zollinger.
The gym floor of Churubusco High School was rockin' during SaturdayŌĆÖs Zumba-thon, which had 35 women getting fit, rocking out and having a blast at the inaugural event designed to raise money for the upcoming Churubusco Junior-Senior High School aerobics class.

Remove side handle from the freezer door ...pop out the black panel from the ice/water dispenser... you need to bend it a little bit to remove... un snap the electrical connections ...the plastic connectors, not from the fridge or the back of the panel,there are plastic connectors (white) in the middle between the fridge & the plastic outside panel.I needed a thin knife to lift the connector snaps to pull the pieces apart. It's not a bad idea to note how they match up so you can put it back properly. unscrew the white panel. There are two screws remove panel.I had to cut the micro switch out of the old style panel. the new panel is much more precise. By the way, if you are replacing the micro switch, it's a good thing to know, there are two. One is for the ice maker, the other is for the water dispenser. You might as well replace both at the same time even if one is working it will save you having to do this again anytime soon.Snap the micro chip into place & thread the wires back through the control panel screw the panel back into the door snap the wires togeather. now test the water dispenser just to be sure. Now arm wrestle the panel back in to the tracks. This is the hardest part. Why it doesn't just slide in is beyond me. Must have been designed by a guy!!! It really is easy & it saved me $300.

Not strictly a guacamole, this is a pea purée packed with flavour. It is delicious with the pan-fried tuna and olive, sun-dried tomato and caper salsa. Demonstrated at the 2011 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
Cook the peas in boiling, salted water for 3–4 minutes for fresh peas, 2–3 minutes for frozen. Refresh under cold water and drain.
Place in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and a good pinch of salt (or use a hand-held blender) and whiz for 1–2 minutes or until almost smooth. Taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary, then put into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Bring back up to room temperature before serving.

Minneapolis Man Beaten Unconscious After Leaving Gay Bar: VIDEO
A 30-year-old Minneapolis gay man was beaten unconscious early Sunday morning in a brutal attack that left him with a shattered jaw, a severed tongue, and boot-shaped bruises on his body.
Jeremy, whose last name was not disclosed by KMSP, was not robbed during the incident, which occurred after he left a gay bar. For that reason, police are exploring the possibility that it was a hate crime.
The victim lost teeth and his shattered jaw is now wired shut, and the investigation is complicated because he can't remember what happened after he left the eagleBOLTbar on Washington Avenue South...
"He is very sore, and of course, with his jaw wired shut, it is hard for him to eat," Jason Little told Fox 9 News...
The details of what occurred are few, and much of that is because the victim remembers nothing but a flash or two before he was abandoned in the cold street with a partially severed tongue that doctors at HCMC were able to reattach.
"Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of details right now," Little said. "Hopefully, with the story on the news, we'll get more information if someone saw something -- but of course, there's a lot of violence toward members of the LGBT community, and that's something we're thinking about. Could it be related?"
Police will only say that it's an open investigation and that they are exploring all possibilities, but friends note that Jeremy was not robbed.
Watch KMSP's report, AFTER THE JUMP...
An online fund has been started to raise money for Jeremy's medical bills. Find it here.

UAB rallies late, beats Memphis Tigers, 41-35
University of Memphis defensive lineman Frank Trotter said he didn't glance at the scoreboard when the Tigers built an 18-point lead in the first half and on two additional occasions in the third quarter. And it's likely he didn't have the stomach to look at the scoreboards in the north and south end zones moments after the Tigers had suffered an unfathomable fourth-quarter collapse Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
And collapse might be a kind description.
Leading 28-10 midway through the third quarter and 35-17 at the end of it, the Tigers were stunned by the hapless Blazers in the final 15 minutes. UAB, which entered as the nation's 102nd ranked offense, outscored Memphis 24-0 while amassing 200 yards and scoring touchdowns on drives of 70, 69 and 77 yards.
UAB running back Greg Franklin got the winning touchdown on a 10-yard run with 1:36 left. It allowed the Blazers to claim a 41-35 Conference USA victory -- and the Battle for the Bones trophy -- before about 5,000.
''This is certainly a painful loss,'' said Tigers coach Larry Porter, whose team must regroup quickly for a home game Thursday against Marshall. ''It's hard to swallow.''
The Blazers (2-9, 2-5 C-USA) scored 31 points in the final 20:12 to earn their third straight triumph over Memphis and 10th in 15 meetings. UAB amassed 601 yards to 384 for Memphis and got its largest fourth-quarter, come-from-behind win in school history. UAB coach Neil Callaway said his team ''played with a lot of character and poise'' to recover as it did.
In the deciding final quarter, the Tigers were limited to 28 total yards by the nation's 118th-ranked defense. Memphis freshman quarterback Taylor Reed, who was 15 of 18 for 161 yards and two touchdowns through three quarters, was 1 of 11 for 6 yards in the fourth.
''We just couldn't find a way to finish this game,'' Porter said. ''I am terribly disappointed in the way that we played in the fourth quarter. When it counted most, we couldn't find a way to make a play offensively or defensively. That was the story.''
On its four possessions in the fourth quarter, the U of M managed one first down. Three possessions ended with punts and the final series ended in the closing seconds on downs.
''Going into the fourth quarter, we were well in position to win that game,'' Porter said. ''And we didn't. You've got to start with the coaches. We couldn't make a call. We couldn't make a play. All we needed was one (play), whether it was offense, defense or special teams. It didn't happen.''
Ahead 21-10 at the half, Memphis upped its advantage to 35-17 in the third quarter behind two rushing touchdowns from Jerrell Rhodes, returning after missing three games with an ankle injury. Rhodes, who reinjured his ankle late in the game, scored on runs of 1 and 22 yards.
But UAB began chipping away in the fourth quarter. Kicker Ty Long connected from 24 yards with 13:39 to go and on the Blazers' following possession, quarterback Jonathan Perry tossed an 18-yard pass to Nick Adams to complete a 70-yard drive and trim the Memphis margin to 35-27.
After going three-and-out, Memphis punted and UAB began yet another scoring drive, this one ending with a 42-yard pass to Jamarcus Nelson. UAB's 2-point conversion pass failed, allowing the Tigers to cling to a 35-33 advantage with 7:08 left that held until Franklin's touchdown run gave the Blazers their first lead.
''As a team, we've got to find a way to close out, we've got to find a way to finish no matter how many points we are up,'' said Tigers running back Billy Foster, who rushed for 74 yards and touchdown and caught three passes for 79 more yards. ''All you heard (on the sidelines when Memphis led by 18) was 'We got it in the bag, we got it in the bag, we got this one.' We were too comfortable. You can't be comfortable.''
Perry, the dual-threat UAB quarterback, passed for 178 of his 410 yards and two of his four touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Nelson caught six passes for 133 yards and two TDs.
''Their quarterback made a lot of big plays,'' Trotter said. ''He made plays with his feet and his arm. We couldn't keep him contained. He took off running when we had everybody covered and it was hard to come back and tackle him. ... He took over the game.''

More recently, however, stories about Mexico's rapidly growing manufacturing industry have made front pages of major newspapers and blogs, slowly changing the perception of this developing country. While the majority of these articles tend to be industry-focused, the real story is the Mexican workforce and how it is transforming a nation. Not dissimilar to many developing countries, the Mexican workforce is comprised of both men and woman; however, the female workforce in Mexico has quietly grown in numbers and strength throughout factory floors and at all professional levels. In a country run mostly by men, women have begun to demonstrate their strength and importance, helping transform stereotypes and perceptions about Mexico and its place as a global business powerhouse.

Vancouver, BC to NY and back! 11870 km in 23 days!
View Single Post
Bike Addict
Joined: Nov 2009
Location: Maple Ridge, BC Canada
Oddometer: 2,389
Day 2
We got some sleep on our first night but not a lot. Right off the bat we were totally impressed with the Thermarest Pro Lite self inflatable pads
we bought and we also brought along little memory foam pillows from Canadian tire. Both proved throughout the trip to be indispensable and worthy of the investment. Pillows only cost about $19 CDN. Well worth it and they pack really small.
The goal for this day was to make it to Glacier National Park. The ride up and around Osoyoos Lake and into the interior of BC was awesome. Another beautiful day weather wise and great views.
After enjoying the view we were off to the Border and entered the States at Porthill, ID. Interesting enough the Border Guard State side informed us to stay away from Browning Montana. As a matter of fact he said do not stop there or spend the night. He gave no reason but was adamant we agreed to stay away from Browning. Still only heard rumours as to why he said this but won't speculate and we just avoided Browning any way.
We road for 11 hours this day in about 28 to 31 Celsius or 86 too 90 degree heat. Not long into the ride after we left Osoyoos we noticed Cheryl had a screw in her front tire and I had a very long nail on my rear. Cheryl's tire was fine mine had to be plugged. Nice guy in Castlegar fixed the tire and we got to learn how to plug a tubeless motorcycle tire for $10. Good part it only took 15 mins to fix. We had a plug kit as part of our tool kit so if this happened again we knew we would be able to do it ourselves.
The weather was great but a little hot....the bikes are running well but our butts are getting really sore. Pulled up to a gas station not far from the KOA near Glacier, YES a KOA for WIFI and it is nice.....anyway, this guy saw our HD motorcycle cam and thought we were gnarly. Folks in Montana ride motorcycles without helmets or gear. Either they are crazy or know something we don't. I think we will continue to wear gear and our helmets throughout this HUGE state. We are having difficulties trying to really fit in leisure activities without worrying about getting to NY and back home in 26 days. But we will work it out.
So, day 2 came to a close and we were still not sure what we were going to do tomorrow....head East, drive up Road to the Sun in Glacier. That would be 4 hrs out of the day....well...it was time to pack it in for this day.

Yes it's a problem, nothing to do with you on the iPad3 Safari browser thing, but you know you pay for the name and not for top notch software ….
Delpierooo said
Is there anything specific that should not be used in the page coding(js/php/html, ..), because it makes the iPad3 Safari browser crash. The thing works ok on all PC browsers(including Safari) and on iPad2 as well. What is so special or can be an issue on iPad3 that it crashes Safari?
The problem can not be with php/html but javascript. For the iDevices and Android, always better to go with CSS based animations (transitions) instead of javascript. And iPad3 have to render 4 times higher area than iPad2, so consider this too.
Its called pushing sub-standard products to control market share, consumerism wins, technology progression fails. The web will have to change for whatever Apple does.
^ It is awkward to call the present day touch devices as sub-standard. These are the maximum possible solutions that released with some inevitable compromises, surely those compromises has less impact on usability for a layman. With my personal experience with few devices it is clear that Apple's software and hardware beats all the so called "supports everything" devices. Except Steve job's 'over words' about Flash, everything they do is better than or atleast equal to their competitors.
Front end web development always required optimization and some depth testing – if you want more than average content, you will need severe testing/optimisation – it will apply even after 20 years from now. There is nothing 'new wrong' thing today. I know I will be stickered as apple fan but the truth is you guys are barking towards limitation of technology itself, not about Apple.

Columbine assembly changes hearts, minds
They also told stories about how Rachel was known for reaching out to students on campus, from the new student who didn't know anyone to the disabled.
The assembly's presenter, Brandie Orozco, also likened Rachel to Anne Frank, the young Jewish girl who was also made famous by her death and diaries during World War II. They both died as a result of hatred, she said, noting that Rachel was killed on Hitler's birthday.
Orozco, during perfectly timed pauses in the video footage, urged the students to walk away a different person than when they came into the theater.
In particular, she gave them five challenges: eliminate prejudice from their lives; dare to dream; choose positive influences; use kind words; and start "a chain reaction," as Rachel had urged in her essay.
As the assembly ended and students filed out of the theater, many with red eyes and somber expressions, several said the presentation had a strong effect on them.
"It was inspiring and touching," said sophomore Renee Morgan, 15.
Her friend, 15-year-old sophomore Janina Martinez, said the assembly changed her.
"It inspired me to treat other people better," she said. "I think it will definitely have a lasting impact (on campus)."
And to make sure it does, Orozco trained about four dozen of the school's student leaders after the assembly to start a student club on campus aimed at reaching out to others and being kind to one another, among other goals.
Mike Pattison, the school's activities director, said he hopes the club becomes a collaborative effort with Murrieta Valley High and Shivela Middle School, as well as the community.
"It will help make people just a little more aware of others," he said.

Parking Structure
Parking is available in the parking facility located at 919 Albany Street.
Students may obtain parking privileges by completing the Parking Form which will be electronically mailed to continuing students in mid-July and in late July for new incoming students. The Parking Form will be made active when the registration period is open. Students who do not complete the parking form by the deadline of Sunday, August 10, 2014, must do so in Campus Planning, during the first week of school to sign up for parking. The parking form must be completed by all students to indicate whether or not they want parking. If continuing students do not respond, their parking card will be deactivated from the system. If you will be taking public transportation, you should indicate "No Parking" on your form which will update your form and will complete the process.
The parking fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is for the period August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015. The parking fee is $348.00 per semester (10% City parking tax included) and will be billed to the student's account at the beginning of each new semester. PARKING FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. If a student elects parking in the Fall semester, it will be automatically renewed for the Spring semester and charged to his/her account. A student who does not elect parking must advise the Campus Planning Dept in writing by August 29, 2014 for the Fall semester and by January 23, 2015 for the Spring semester. Any changes to a student's parking status must be in writing and filed with Campus Planning, by the appropriate aforementioned dates for that semester.
Please complete the parking registration form by the Sunday, August 10 deadline so you will be able to access the parking facility August 18 (the first day of class)
Change of Vehicle Information for continuing students can be reported on the parking form or for all students after the August 10 deadline, to Campus Planning.
Students may park in all spaces except:
a. Faculty
b. Carpool (unless registered for carpool through Campus Planning)
c. Motorcycle area (motorcycles exempt)
d. Disabled (blue coded)
Student Parking Access and Validation Policy
- All students who pay for continuous parking in the LLS parking structure are required to have a valid parking card issued by the Campus Planning office. Card swipes are used not only for access control but also to monitor who is on campus at any given time for security and emergency purposes.
- All students without a parking card (including forgotten cards) and not on an approved guest list will have to pull a ticket. No payment will be required at the time of entry.
- In the event that a student forgets his/her parking card, she/he should pull a parking ticket and bring it to the Campus Planning office for validation. Campus Planning will validate pulled tickets for two consecutive days only and up to three times per semester. After two consecutive days or after three occurrences per semester, the student will pay the daily rate for parking. If the student has lost their parking card, the replacement cost is $25.00 and is payable in cash or by check at the time the new card is issued in Campus Planning.
- Any student who pulls a ticket and does not get a validation will pay the daily rate at the time they exit the parking structure.
Disabled Parking. Parking spaces are available for disabled members of the Law School community. To park or enter these spaces, a special placard must be obtained through the Department of Motor Vehicles or AAA and must be displayed at all times. Under California law, there can be no exceptions to this policy; otherwise, Loyola Law School would be cited by local authorities accordingly. Anyone parking a vehicle in the disabled area must have a valid Law School parking card or must pay the daily parking rate.
Motorcycle Parking. A limited number of special motorcycle parking spaces are available. The parking fee for these spaces is $216.00 per semester, including city tax. All the same rules apply to those described in "a." in the current Student Handbook except that a parking card and placard will not be provided. Motorcycle parking stickers will be provided and must be prominently displayed on the motorcycle. Those with these permits may enter by asking the parking attendant to lift the parking gate after providing the attendant with their last name and permit number. As with regular parking, a spot is not guaranteed and subject to availability at the time of parking. Should someone with a motorcycle permit desire to also park a car, they must either purchase a full price parking permit or pay the daily parking rate on the days they park a car. A document indicating the location of the designated motorcycle parking spots will be provided by Campus Planning when the permit is purchased. These spots are also specifically marked as such in the parking garage. A $50 ticket will be issued to any unregistered motorcycle found parked in the garage or to a motorcycle parking in any spot other than those marked as motorcycle parking.
Vehicle Size Limitations. All vehicles must be no larger than 80 inches wide, 223 inches long and 78 inches high. Due to space limitations, the Parking Structure cannot accommodate vehicles in excess of these dimensions.
Citations. Parking citations, other than moving violations, are confirmed by photograph:
|Parking over line
|Unauthorized Parking in Carpool Area before 11 a.m.
|Unauthorized Parking in Faculty Area
|Parking in Loading Dock
|Parking in Disabled (blue coded) Area (LLS violation)
|The City of L.A. will also cite for parking in a disabled space.
|Moving Violation
|Unauthorized Motorcycle Parking
Citation appeals must be in writing within 5 school days to Campus Planning. Fines are sent to the student account and must be paid at the Cashier's Office.
"Warnings" are only issued during the first two weeks of each new semester.
Moving Violations. The maximum speed limit in the parking facility is 5 m.p.h.
Individuals exhibiting excessive speed will be cited accordingly. The penalty for exceeding the 5 m.p.h. speed limit is $50.00.
Responsibility For Citations and Moving Violations. The person to whom a vehicle is registered on-campus shall be responsible for any liability or damage claims, including parking and/or other traffic regulation citation penalties arising in connection with the possession and/or operation of the vehicle on campus.
Towing of Vehicles. Any vehicle parked in the parking facility in violation of Loyola Law School regulations, the California Vehicle Code or the Traffic and Fire Code of the City of Los Angeles, or registered vehicles with three or more unpaid citations will be towed from that location and impounded. The vehicle will be taken to such place for storage as the Loyola Law School Campus Planning Dept. may select. Prior to the vehicle being released, the expense of such impoundment and storage shall be paid by the owner or operator of the vehicle.
Loyola Law School and its employees shall not be held liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from towing, impounding, or storage.
Liability. Loyola Law School is not responsible for and assumes no liability for damage or theft of any vehicle or its contents. Students should lock their vehicles and place valuable items in their trunks. Cars are not allowed to park overnight at any time.
As part of the consideration for the parking services furnished, students confirm and agree to the following statement:
"I agree to pay Loyola Law School all of the amount(s) for which I am liable/responsible by the appropriate due date(s) and any late fees that I may incur. I understand that if I elect to park in the parking facility and pay the parking fee in the Fall semester, I will automatically be charged the parking fee in the Spring semester unless otherwise specified."

Palit 9800GT fan very loud under Linux

Re: Palit 9800GT fan very loud under Linux
I have just downloaded and installed(?) the latest drivers from NVidia and upgraded Ubuntu to the latest version and the problem seems to be solved.
When I try to look at the video card details via the screen settings icon at the top it says that it can't handle the Nvidia hardware and offers to connect me to the Nvidia video card monitoring application and that seems to be quite sophisticated and says that my video card has a temperature of around 51 degrees celcius, which I think is very acceptable.
Nice that this problem has been resolved quite quickly (after I complained about it) but I saw on this forum that there have been earlier complaints...
Request: Why not show other parameters like fan-speed? And it would perhaps be nice to get tuning options.

Pete Sampras Sells Modern Mansion In Thousand Oaks
November 4, 2013 3:00 PM
Pete Sampras and wife Bridgette Wilson-Sampras just offloaded their Thousand Oaks, CA, home for an undisclosed amount to an undisclosed buyer.
The celebrity couple first started shopping the modern mansion back in 2010 for a reported $25 million, then publicly listed it last July for $19.95 million.
The 20-acre compound is located in the Lake Sherwood neighborhood and boasts 7 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms! Built in 2009, the estate is comprised of a main home, detached workout center, and guest home.
Amenities include a massive home movie theater and game room, poker room, an infinity pool, and a tennis court.
The selling point is that there are 360-degree views from almost every room in the house!

Cesar Gracie responds bitterly to NSAC
Earlier today the Nevada State Athletic Commission had a meeting on the two most polarizing fighters in mixed martial arts - Nick Diaz and Chael Sonnen.
Sonnen exited the meeting with a Theraputic Use Exemption (TUE) for Testosterone Replacment Therapy (TRT) and an offer to work in an "advisory capacity" alongside Director Keith Kizer to improve TRT policies in Nevada.
Nick Diaz was fined 30% of his purse and bonus, for testing postiive for marijuana metabolites for smoking medical marijuana legally in his home state of California, where it had been prescribed to treat his ADHD.
One Commissioner made a point of noting that Diaz had said he was more focused in training after smoking marijuana. However, fighting is Diaz's job, and an inability to concentrate at work is a hallmark of ADHD sufferers.
Cesar Gracie, coach, manger, and mentor to Nick Diaz, reacted bitterly, via Twitter.

Cesar is right. NSAC is a joke
5/23/12 1:09 AM by Jaybrone
No one has tried either. Using the excuse that no one has gotten one when no one has tried and the commission has in the past told them they could at a minimum TRY to get the exemption with stipulations as to how long prior to the fight they have to abstain etc. But not even attempting to do it and failing the test is solely the fault of Diaz and his management.
5/22/12 11:06 PM by Jack_Bauer
I'm kind of surprised that everyone is taking the side of Diaz or NSAC with such certainty. I think that both of them have acted unethically at some point. I am not a Diaz fan but NSAC is obviously very biased and influenced by the dollar. There is no consistency with their rulings simply because there doesn't have to be. It's a fucking joke. To be honest, NSAC seemed even more bitter than Gracie.On the other hand, Diaz is a fucking grown-up. Handle yourself accordingly. If your profession requires you to not smoke weed, you probably shouldn't smoke weed. And for the record I fully enjoy poking the smot, but if I participated in sport for a living and they said all you have to do is not take illegal substances, I would stop smoking immediately. Because that's what grown-ups do. If you will get fired from your job for smoking weed and you really enjoy smoking weed, you should probably get a new job. Let Diaz install cable for a living for 12 months, then see if he stops smoking weed to be able to fight for a living. I'll bet he does.NSAC and Diaz's camp are so determined to prove the other one wrong that they don't realize both sides are fucking up publicly.
5/22/12 6:19 PM by Walbaz
I agree with earlier posts saying it was all about the $$$, NSAC had already made their mind up about Nick Diaz before the hearing and UFC wanting Silva - Sinnen II. I assume NSAC make money from UFC events within the State so therefore wouldn't want the upcoming Silva-Sonnen fight to be cancelled?! If Sonnen hadn't have had a massive fight coming up in Nevada would he have been banned as well?I don't always agree with Cesar and I think perhaps he could take a more pro-active role as Nick's manager but I think on this occasion he is correct in criticising NSAC.Lately UFC has become way too political for my liking, I'm still a fan of the sport butnot so much UFC anymore. Whilst Nick is my favourite fighter without a doubt, I would like to see him stay in retirement and concentrate on triathlon do that he does not have to play the political games of MMA and instead can just go and compete.
5/22/12 6:04 PM by rrg1
Cesar is just pissy because Nick won't be making him any money anytime soon.
5/22/12 6:02 PM by aaroncev
To be honest the NSAC had no grounds to suspend him. He had metabolite in his system but that doesn't prove he was stoned while he was in competition.
5/22/12 5:54 PM by lionsoul
Sorry... Make that Keith Kizer is the King of the Kangaroo Court... Seriously sad...
5/22/12 5:52 PM by Kansas Comet
OK, I can play Devil's Advocate as you are doing lets say for Diaz' next fight 45 days out from the Fight Diaz/Cesar submits the full disclosure I already posted above concerning his prescription, Official Mar. Card, Doctor signature - all documentation etc. the NSAC comes back and states like you are thinking and simply says that is great Nick but it still won't fly you will have to test clean prior to your fight then at least Nick may stop smoking 30 days out from the fight and be fine..I suppose my overall point is the Diaz Camp requires Managerial Leadership - Cesar is awesome as a BJJ Guru/Coach etc but just not seeing the Manager part which is integral to the Diaz Camp because obviously they are elite fighters and Nate is looking like a future Champ they got the fighting part down the Manager and leadership duties have been bungled time and time again missed Press Conferences for a Championship fight? Backing out or better yet simply no showing a BJJ event and all the other shenanigans, unsportsmanlike episodes, unprofessionalism this is where the Manager and leader steps in and it has just not happened in the Diaz Camp..These two Nick Diaz' failed Drug tests are the latest bungles and is indicative of my whole point about the lack of a bona fide Manager and Leader of the Diaz Camp.
5/22/12 5:43 PM by HexRei
haha... deserves to burn... trees... nice 1
5/22/12 5:41 PM by 2JupitersTooMany
I can appreciate the viewpoint that Nick deserves to burn, but the forest for the trees viewpoint of some reasonable people is that we are looking at a Commission that has embraced bullshit therapeutic testosterone prescriptions that allow for a fighter to jack up on a true performance enhancer, and there is pot smoker sitting out for a year. If you don't get why that offends some people, this pathetic end result of the Commission's holy war against PEDs, I'm not sure what to tell you brilliant dissectors of the regulated life of Nick Diaz.
