This problem occurs if the Web site uses a CNAME resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) to contact the server that initiates Kerberos authentication. When you use Internet Explorer 7 to access the Web site, Internet Explorer 7 uses the host name of the server instead of the CNAME resource record to contact the server.

Final Score: Sam Houston State 64, Liberty 50
Huntsville, TX (Sports Network) - Terrance Motley came off the bench to tally 14 points and pull down eight rebounds to help lead the Sam Houston State Bearkats to a 64-50 win over the Liberty Flames as part of sub-regional action in the Legends Classic at Bernard Johnson Coliseum.
Also scoring in double figures for the Bearkats (2-3) was James Thomas who dropped in 13 points and also cleared eight boards in the victory.
The Flames (0-5) were paced by Davon Marshall who scored a game-high 15 points as he made good on 3-of-7 shots behind the three-point line.
Liberty, which led by three points midway through the first half, converted a total of just six field goals in the period, including 2-of-9 behind the three-point line, en route to a 24-15 deficit at the break. Sam Houston State knocked down a meager 36.0 percent from the floor in the frame.
In the second half the Bearkats began to pull away with 16-of-25 shooting at the free-throw line and 44.0 percent accuracy from the field.
In addition to shooting only 33.3 percent from the field in the outing, the Flames also turned the ball over 15 times, leading to 17 points for the hosts.

Enrollment Cap
In June 2011 the Wisconsin legislature and governor passed the 2011-2013 state budget that included a provision removing the enrollment cap on the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program.
The 2011-13 biennial budget also expanded the parental choice program to Racine. The first year of the program enrollment was capped at 250 students. In the second year of the program enrollment was capped at 500 students. In 2013-14 the enrollment cap will be eliminated.
Previous Enrollment Cap
On March 10, 2006, Governor Jim Doyle signed SB 618 lifting the enrollment cap to 22,500 students. The MPCP was previously capped at 15% of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) enrollment.
This action prevented a rationing crisis.
Events leading up to the compromise
In October 2005, DPI announced that the MPCP enrollment cap had been reached. Proposed rules to implement a rationing plan for seats in the MPCP were defeated after several choice school administrators argued that no rationing plan could work. In 2003, Governor Jim Doyle vetoed measures to eliminate the enrollment cap. See 2003-04 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. Governor Doyle vetoed a one-year reprieve on the enrollment cap in 2005.

BONIFAY - Holmes County Board of County Commissioners approved a four percent pay raise for all non-union county employees and a county contribution of $35 per employee toward health insurance during called session Aug. 28. The same raise was offered to union employees, including those in the road department and ambulance service, but the union turned down the increase, which is still in separate negotiation. Union representative Allen Gregory had not return the Times-Advertiser's call at press time.
"There is an upcoming meeting to discuss benefits and the upcoming payroll and how that will affect the 2014-2015 budget," said County Attorney Jeff Goodman. "The board knows we've got a couple of things going on. We're in negotiations with the union in respect to wages and benefits, and those negotiations are ongoing. We have yet to reach an agreement."
Goodman explained that the non-union employees' upcoming payment for their insurance for their upcoming fiscal year is coming due and needs to be paid that week. He also added that there was discussion on paying a $35 payment toward their insurance deductible or insurance cost.
"They want to see if the board wants to go ahead and do $35 toward the non-union employee insurance so payroll can get that out this week. As we go into next month they will start making payments in October for the upcoming 2014-2015 fiscal year," said Goodman. "We can go ahead at this time and do any wage increase would like. We payout October's insurance in September and that's going out today."
Commissioner Kenneth Williams motioned the board needed to "go ahead and put it on the record" to give their non-union employees a four percent pay raise and $35 for their insurance, effective the new budget year.
Merchant also motioned they raise the supervisor of the Holmes County Recycling Center's hourly wage by $1, which she is "budget neutral" because she is grant funded, which was also approved.
· Holmes County Recycling Center Supervisor's request to use $3,000 to purchase a paper shredder.
· Roll over any extra money from inmate medical from the Holmes County Sheriff's Office funds to be used as contingency funds for inmate medical contingency.

Architectural Columns
Hallmark Certification
The Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) Hallmark
Certification Program gives specifiers a method of identifying windows, doors
and skylights which are manufactured in accordance with WDMA standards.
The WDMA Hallmark is considered a mark of excellence among architects, contractors and
other specifiers and is accepted industry-wide. WDMA Standards are referenced by HUD/FHA in
their Minimum Property Standards and by many other government agencies in their construction
specifications. Any manufacturer who can demonstrate conformance to the WDMA standards
is eligible to participate in the Hallmark Certification Program. Conformance is determined by
in-plant inspection of the manufacturing facilities and by sampling and testing of products. The
manufacturer is issued a Certification number, along with marking devices for applying the
Hallmark to conforming products. Turncraft is the only major column and post manufacturer to
receive WDMA Hallmark Certification.
Using a precision splitting
template machine, columns
can be divided in halves
to be used as pilasters or
to be reassembled around
existing structural members.
Columns designed for
reassembly come with
realignment splines and
installation instructions.
Architectural Columns are available in the following
plan types. Please specify when you order. Custom
plan types are also available.
The view of Renaissance authority
Scamozzi was that the lower diameter
of a top column should equal the upper
diameter of the column underneath.
The superior order should always be
placed over the inferior, that is Corinthian
over Ionic, Doric, Tuscan. The more
slender and elegant orders should
be placed over the stockier and more
solidly built if a top-heavy design is not
desired. An ancient example of this
descending order is the Colosseum in
Rome, which has at least four stories of
superpositioned orders.

opinionBy Rev. Fr. Ojaje Idoko
In the Shakespearean masterpiece, Julius Caesar, the Plebeians, the poor people were used as the door mat of the great power play. When the conspirators led by Brutus and Caius Cassius stabbed Caesar at the capitol and gave the reasons for their actions, accusing Emperor Caesar of inordinate ambitions, the plebeians shouted, good for him and they gave their full support to the conspirators. When Mark Anthony, the true friend of Caesar came to address the plebeians at the permission of the leaders of the coup, in no time he swayed the emotions of the people against the conspirators with his powerful speech of "I have come to bury Caesar not to praise him" fame.
In the Christian and Jewish world over, this week is considered the holiest of the weeks of the year. This is the week the Jews celebrate their deliverance from slavery in Egypt, this is Passover Week. And since last Sunday 24th March 2013, Christians started the Holy Week, holy because it is the week of the Lord's passion and death that gave freedom from slavery to sin and death. During this week, one of the high points of the activities is the capturing of Jesus Christ from Gethsemane by the detachment of the guards, who were fully armed to arrest a defenseless man. Jesus said to them, "Am I a brigand that you come with clubs and swords to arrest me?" (Mark 14:48). It was a violent attack on a defenseless man who meant no harm. His only crime was that the Jewish leaders could not tolerate his form of teaching. Their arguments were simply borne out of fear of losing what they thought was God's treasure put in their care, the leadership of the people and principles of their father as led down by Moses. They had cogent reasons backed by the laws of their religion. And the verdict was simple, he must die! For the High Priest, Scribes and Pharisees to succeed, they had to win the support of the crowd. Even those who had cheered Jesus on his triumphant entry into Jerusalem just few days back, were bought over with the accusation of the leaders "This man said he will destroy this Temple which took our fathers 46 years to build, he will change the laws of Moses and he claims to be God". For the ordinary unschooled follower of the Jewish religion, these were weighty accusations, tantamount to blasphemy. So he must die. So the song of "Hosanna to the Son of David changed to Crucify Him". Crowd manipulation! Yes, crowd manipulation is a dangerous thing. When people leave their will and faith in the hands of dubious people, that nation is in trouble.
It has become very difficult for the adherents of the two great religions in the world today to relate and live in peace because many unholy things have been brought into the practice of religion. Religion has been taken over by mercantile, political and leadership interests and the followers are manipulated to further these interests in favour of the leader. The violence that has enveloped the greater part of Northern Nigeria today is nothing more than crowd manipulation and control of the mind of man. It is foolhardy for one to think that they are fighting for the cause of God by destroying properties and human lives. Telephone masts, schools, police stations, markets, business places, banks and anything that catches their fancy goes up in flames. This cannot be in the name of God. This made the Catholic Bishops and other religious leaders, both Christians and non Christian to say that this fight can be anything but religious. But imagine that it is religious, which kind of god can tolerate this? It is encouraged that we allow our good religious values to rob on our daily lives including politics but it is wrong to use religion to feather political nests. When you mix religion with politics then you are working against the will of God.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam trace their religions to the root of Abraham. They are called Abrahamic religions. So can we call this a fight between brothers? Brother killing brother? The first account of human killing as contained in the holy books is that of Cain killing Abel and the reaction of God to that act was very disastrous to the perpetrator. Your brother's blood cries from the ground to me and I have heard his plea. When Jesus was being rough handled by the mob, Peter out of religious duty also pulled the sword, aimed it at the ear of Malchus, a servant of the High Priest and sliced it off in the name of religion. Jesus the master rebuked him, "put back the sword into its scabbard" (Matthew 26: 52). Violence is not a way of religion. God cannot be defended since he can defend himself. Jesus who is also known in Islamic religion as Prophet Isa, rebuking Peter against violence said "Do you think that I cannot call upon my Father and he will not provide me at this moment with more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matthew 26: 53). In the same manner Jesus will say to "His Excellency", Governor Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this kind. If my kingdom was of this kind, my servants would have fought to stop me from being brought before you" (John 18:36). If Jesus Christ, (the Prophet Isa) says that the kingdom of God is not of this kind, which other kingdom are we fighting for?
Nigeria has lost human beings, houses, valuable properties and resources because of the interest of the few people who manipulate the rest of us. How come suddenly everything in Nigeria is judged by religion? Is it for the interest of religion? Where is God in all these? I cannot find God in any of these. What is religion without God? The person who practices religion without God is a dangerous person. There are many dangerous persons in Nigeria today because many practice and preach religion without God. All they do is the crowd manipulation. That is the reason everything in Nigeria is interpreted with religious coloration. So we hear sayings like, "a Muslim has been ruling, so it is our turn". A Christian has been ruling, so we are next." Same evil men, when the religious sentiment does not fly, they toss the tribal and regional coin. All is with the desire to control and manipulate the people. The Emir of Kano was attacked and he lost his aides and some other persons. Where is the religious dimension of going to a motor park and blow up a bus load of travelers and killing and maiming? What is the religious dimension in blowing up the United Nations' building in Abuja and killing and maiming both adherents of both religions?
Some Christians and their leaders are agitating that Christians should return fire for fire. For every Christian killed an adherent of Islam should die. Some call for retaliation in the guise of self defense. Recently Madgi Allam, a prominent Italian journalist who converted from Islam to Christianity and was baptized by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in March 2008 left the Catholic Church saying that Catholic leaders have not been strong enough in their opposition to Islam. His anger was that Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, President of the Pontifical Council of Interreligious Dialogue in the Vatican said that terrorist violence is a betrayal of the true Islamic faith. For Madgi Allam, Islamic extremism and terrorism are the mature fruit of that religious tradition and Catholicism is not strong enough to counter the "intrinsically violent ideology" of Islam. There are various sets of Islam as there are many denominations of Christianity. Some are moderate and accommodating while others do not tolerate others. The intolerant versions of both religions are the ones that mix other intentions with the practice of religion. Islam is said to be a religion of peace and Christ is the Prince of Peace. There is no teaching of violence in the real ideology of these Abrahamic religions. So where did we get it wrong? While we are searching for the answers, I will only repeat what Jesus said to Peter "Put your sword back into the scabbard for he who kills by the sword, dies by the sword" and moreover, Abraham is our father.

Some Illustrative Tradeoffs in Privacy
Note also that privacy concerns are often grounded in information that may be used for purposes other than a stated purpose. Indeed, in each of the examples given above, another possible—and less benign—purpose might easily be envisioned and thus might change entirely one's framing of a privacy issue.
vides some illustrative examples). Advocates for various positions who argue vigorously for a given policy thus run the risk of casting their arguments in unduly broad terms. Though rhetorical excesses are often a staple of advocacy, in truth the factors driving the information age rarely create simple problems with simple solutions.
Perhaps the best known of the general tradeoffs in the privacy debate is that which contrasts privacy with considerations of law enforcement and national security. At this writing, there is considerable debate over the Bush administration's use of warrantless wiretapping in its counterterrorism efforts against al-Qaeda. Furthermore, the USA PATRIOT Act, passed in the immediate wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and extended and amended in early 2006, changed a number of privacy-related laws in order to facilitate certain law

This is the first in a series of presentations introducing cultural venues and activities in and around Delaware and the Middle Atlantic Region of the United States.
Wilmington is strategically positioned to reach other points of interest in the middle Atlantic region of the United States. Located midway between New York City and Washington, D.C., this city is:
- 30 minutes from Philadelphia
- 90 minutes to downtown Baltimore, MD
- 60 minutes from Lancaster, South Central Pennsylvania and Amish Country
- less than 2 hours away from Delaware's Atlantic Ocean beaches
Originally founded by the Swedes and Finns in 1638, and later acquired by the Dutch in 1655 and the British in 1739, today Wilmington offers a rich performing arts scene including theater, symphony, opera, ballet, rock, jazz, folk and family entertainment. It is also home to many celebrated ethnic events, music festivals and special performances at local wineries and breweries.
The Christina Riverfront is one of many reasons for making Wilmington your home away from home while exploring the culture trail; cruise in a water taxis or stroll the landscaped Riverwalk.

I wanted to make this post about dry skin, even though spring time is right around the corner. Dry skin is a condition that plagues many of us despite warmer weather. And with my recent mentions of dry skin and water, I want to address a beauty myth!
We've all heard it many times. Family members, friends, neighbors, and plenty of internet skincare websites will tell you to, well...drink more water to fix that dry skin!!
Is it true?
Water is a magnificent thing. We all know this. We have all been taught this. And dehydration can cause many problems.
We know that dehydration can cause splitting headaches. But this only occurs when it's significant dehydration. (Yes, the simplest example would be alcoholic beverages!) Mild dehydration can causes the skin to lose moisture. (Think dry lips and cracked knuckles!)
A 10-20% decrease of water in the skin is enough to cause dry skin symptoms. But does this mean we can just drink that water content back?
No. Drinking more water simply means more trips to the bathroom! We're not camels, we can not store water once we reach our maximum capacity (different for everyone!). So the kidney simply filters and filters, and we pee!
So excess water won't moisturize your skin, it will only make you pee more. Dehydration however, can definitely dry out your skin.
Our skin is a barrier to the outside world. This means it keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. That flaky and damaged skin won't keep the moisture in.
Alright, what do we do with dry skin if we can't chug 5 liters of water a day to fix it? We moisturize. The products on the market like lotions and creams are designed with specific ingredients that form a barrier on our skin to prevent the skin from losing moisture.
So to fix dry skin, we can drink water to become hydrated once more and we can use moisturizers to keep the moisture in.
The best course of action of course is to prevent dry skin. We can avoid things that damage the skin, like irritating ingredients from household cleaners or sun damage.
There are a few clinical studies which supported the idea that it is not the amount of water you drink, it is the minerals in the water which may help with your skin.
Think about it this way, if all that is needed to cure dry skin is to drink water, then why are there so many moisturizers out in the market?

Cuba Rejects U.S. Smear Campaign
| Havana, January 29 (KCNA) -- The Cuban Foreign Ministry recently rejected the anti-Cuban statements made by the U.S. administration, considering them as another example of the constant policy of aggression and interference in the country.
It is the U.S. government that uses torture and extrajudicial executions in the countries it attacks and exercises police brutality against its own population, said a high-ranking official of the ministry, adding:
In a colossal act of cynicism, the US government dares to condemn Cuba without justification.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
A year and a half ago, Darrell Parker (whose email address I seem to have
misplaced again) gave me a computer case with motherboard and a couple of
other hardware goodies to be used in construction of a PC for myself. I
used the hard drive and video card, but never found a use for the rest of
it. I'm leaving Davis for good this coming Friday (yeah, short notice),
and am wondering 1) whether Darrell, if he is still out there, would still
like the case and motherboard back, and 2) if he is not, whether anyone
else out there would be willing to take this stuff off my hands. Is
generally old hardware, but I think at least some of it is functional.
Can look up more details when I get home if someone could tell me what
to look for.

Reason #1 - Arousal assistance. Has your significant other ever tried to initiate sex to no avail because you just couldn't seem to get in the mood? Watch an adult film to help the both of you get into a sensual mood! It is a well-known fact that one of the reasons men enjoy watching porn is because men are visual creatures; however, women are visual creatures as well but many have a negative stigma about watching porn. Watching porn does not a pervert make; but it can make you a better lover and give your libido a boost. Let go of any shameful thoughts that you may have regarding porn, pop in a movie, and enjoy the feelings that come over your body as you watch hot, steamy sex...and then enjoy your own romp with your partner!
Reason #2 - Research. Watching porn is an excellent way to learn new moves and add to your sexual expertise. From foreplay to enhancing your oral sex techniques to an exciting new sex position, you can learn all sorts of new tricks that your guy will love. The best part about this type of research is that right after you're done; you can practice what you've learned on your mate. Who says learning can't be fun?!!
Reason #3 - To Unleash Your Inner Sex Vixen. Every man loves a woman with a little "naughty" in her. Any man that doesn't is just, well…weird. As a woman you can impress your man with your Sex Vixen ways and join him in the bedroom for a movie viewing. Maybe when you're done, you can make a movie of your own! Unleash your inner Sex Vixen...you both will be glad you did.

Time Inc.'s Mine Magazine is a Printed RSS Feed
The news just keeps getting more personal. Hyper-specialized blogs, RSS feeds, and personalized Google homepages let us focus on what we care about and tune out the rest. Thus far, personalized news has been limited to the Internet, but Time Inc. is bringing it to the printed word with mine, a five-issue, 10-week, experimental magazine that allows readers to select five Time Warner/American Express Co. magazines that Time editors will combine into a personalized magazine with 56 possible combinations. Essentially, mine is a printed, expanded RSS feed. Magazines available to the program include Time, Sports Illustrated, Food & Wine, Real Simple, Money, In Style, Golf, and Travel + Leisure.
Ads in the mine run will all be for the Lexus 2010 RX SUV—but with personalized messages for each subscriber targeting their interests.
mine's experimental run is free, with a 36-page print edition available to the first 31,000 respondents and an online version available to 200,000 others. The online edition may not be of much interest to readers skilled in the art of Internet news surfing, but mine's printed edition brings an interesting concept to the table: the minimalization of paper waste with personalized magazines and newspapers. Instead of subscribing to five magazines, why not just subscribe to one that has everything you want inside? And instead of subscribing to The New York Times, The Star Ledger, and your hometown newspaper, why not subscribe to a mash-up of all three?
The print media industry may be slowing down, but it isn't dead. Could personalized periodicals help magazines both adjust to the digital age and do right by the environment?

Its all very interesting. But I'm unconvinced that it meets the granularity of individual taste - and it certainly costs a lot more to produce. Have they seen http://platform.idiomag.com
Could personalized periodicals help magazines both adjust to the digital age and do right by the environment? I think it can, but I think this is not the answer, the real question is will it work?
Tom Green
The comments about this venture were more interesting than the article. However, hybrid publishing is growing and may answer the need for news in the future.
I publish a parenting magazine just outside the Washington, DC area.

Our admissions process is like the education we offer: highly individualized. We review your application, academic grades and courses, class rank (if applicable) and standardized test scores. But, we may also look at extracurricular activities, recommendations and other personal contacts beyond the paper application.
Successful candidates will complete a minimum of 18 academic courses in high school, including four in English, two in social studies, two in lab sciences and at least two recommended foreign language courses. Additionally, there are three required courses in math including, geometry and algebra I and II.
Academic Averages at Roanoke:
Average GPA: Middle 50%* is a 3.0 - 3.7 on a 4.0 scale
Average SAT: Middle 50%* is a 1070 - 1200
(Reflects a combination of the critical reading and math section only.)
Average ACT: Middle 50%*is a 22 - 28
(We do not require the writing section on the ACT.)
*This means that 25% of the students accepted to Roanoke are above the middle 50% and 25% of our students are below the middle 50%.

I have no reason to doubt that the writers at The Economist, and Jane Galt, are truly educated people, if only because, as George Bernard Shaw noted, the mark of intellect is a passion for statistics.
The Economist's new blog demonstrates this passion in the ongoing debate of the Lancet Study. The posts continue with the issues raised in (surprise surprise) Assymetrical Information (amongst other places) such as the inconsistency of the Lancet numbers with the Iraqi Body Count but this time we also get an accurate, if diverting and rather patronising lesson on statistical errors. It is also telling. The purpose of the statistics lesson is to draw attention to a potentially fatal flaw in the Lancet Study but The Economist used some sleight of hand here.
This [systematic] is the sort of error that critics are alleging that Burnham et al. made. This is the sort of error that plagues most scientific studies that turn out to be wrong. Thus, stating (over and over) that "their statistical methodology was sound" is irrelevant. What critics saying is not "their calculations were faulty" but "there was something wrong with the sample". It is perfectly possible that the statistical methodology was sound and that there is something wrong with the sample. Computer scientists have an acronym for it: GIGO, or Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Did you see it? The suggestion is that Burnham is wrong because of the statistical error.
But what does "Burnham is wrong" mean and does it automatically follow from the existence of the sampling error?
One interpretation of "Burnham is wrong" is that the oft quoted 650,000 figure is wrong. To anyone with a basic statistics background though that is evident from the results of the study. 650,000 is only the mean of a distribution that lies with 95% probability between 400,000 and 900,000. In this sense, I agree that Burnham is probably wrong but only because I am looking at the distribution as a whole rather than focusing on one point estimate.
A less charitable interpretation of "Burnham is wrong", and the one I suspect The Economist is trying to promote, is that the whole study is only more slightly believeable than the results of Saddam's last election victory. But does the existence and size of the sampling error mean we can throw out ithe conclusion of Burnham in its entirety?
Well of course it depends on what you think the conclusion is. My statistics lecturer used to stress that the underlying message of any analysis had little to do with the numbers. That is especially true in this case because the true message has to be that since the invasion, things have got a lot worse for ordinary Iraqi's when the promise was that they'd get better. If you think Burnham is wrong in the second sense, then this is the conclusion you disagree with. Now, would the existence of a sampling error reverse this conclusion? I very much doubt it because that would require the actual distribution to contain negative deaths (i.e. more individuals are living now than under Saddam) as well as the number zero – which would suggest the invasion has had a neutral effect on deaths: no more and no less than under Saddam.
Now not even the IBC's measures include zero so things have demonstrably got worse, so in that sense, Burnham is not wrong. Critics of the study then are either trying to deflect attention away from the failure of the Iraqi policy and/or, even more depressingly, neglecting the need to change that policy.
Perhaps that policy doesn't need to change because, as The Economist post points out, time may prove that half a million or a million deaths was a price worth paying by Iraqis to rid themselves of Saddam. But then let's have this debate. Let's talk about the benefits of the post-Saddam Iraq in terms that go beyond the hyperbole of George Bush. Let's talk about what Iraqis expect and want in the future and what price they are willing to pay. Let's talk about the exact nature of their trade-off. Thus far all I hear is the benefits to the West of a democracy in the Middle East and the cost to US/UK taxpayers. What the Iraqis want to know is, how does their substantive freedom from tranny translate into a real capability to enjoy that freedom?
There is nothing wrong in being passionate about statistics. Indeed Keynes' passion for the subject was second only to fornication. He thus not only proved Shaw's assertion but also demonstrated a healthy preference ordering. He also knew exactly what he meant when he said "I'd rather be vaguely right rather than precisely wrong". Burnham, even with a moderate sampling error, is indeed vaguely right and to argue that the situation in Iraq is a lot better is, I'm afraid, precisely wrong.

Philo's review of the new Power Function motors
3 comments:
Are the battery box and medium-sized motor the same as that which comes in the LEGO Education Science and Technology Kit Power Add on Set which goes w/ the Science and Technology Set.
They look the same as pictured on Philohome and the connectors are the same.

- Brian Davis said...
I do't have that set, but I very strongly suspect they are the same. There is a battery box with a very similar shape that has a 9V, not a PF, connection point, but the one in this set is shown running a PF motor, so it would seem to be the identical battery box.

An Excellent review yet again Philo - Well done!
I just heard that LEGO is dumping the old train motor in favour of the PF elements in the next iteration - it looks like all the LEGO motor technologies are now merging into the PF technology - to save money in profuction cost etc.

Post your musical instruments
There was a small thread in the Entertainment and Media section posted by Aether (I believe), but it didn't take off like it could have.
Same idea as post your studio, except what you use to make music; guitars, pianos, trumpets, drums, turntables, spoons, PVC pipes, 5 gallon buckets, whatever. I feel as if a large percentage of us at least own an instrument, even if we're not exactly professional musicians.
I hope this isn't a retarded idea for a thread, there's just been a few "post your...." threads and I figured this was something sort of universal.
Ibanez jumbo electric acoustic, violin (unadorned with a brand ) and ESP LTD 7 string baritone.

TO TRY to understand the moral pathology of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned and sexually enslaved his daughter for 24 years, is a deeply disagreeable task, and not one that can be done properly in a short format like this. Nevertheless, here are some preliminaries to the discussion that will inevitably occur about the nature of the moral enormity we call evil, and its lurking presence in human nature.
By "evil" one usually means a very great degree of wrong. It is a moral state that is consciously chosen, not the blind outcome of inadvertence or mental illness which deprives the perpetrator of agency. In this sense, the word "evil" correctly describes both Fritzl and what he did.
But in another sense, the word is insufficient to give us a grip on where a person like Fritzl really belongs on the moral scale of things. Describing someone as ...

Dancing With The Stars
Why Does Lisa Vanderpump's Dancing With the Stars Partner Like Brandi Glanville Best?
Gleb Savchenko is enjoying quite the debut on American TV. He's currently competing in his first season as a pro dancer on Dancing With the Stars, and he'll be featured on at least one episode of his partner Lisa Vanderpump's Bravo show, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Gleb has met all of Lisa's fellow Housewives, and he told On the Air With Ryan Seacrest which lady he likes best. "I like Brandi [Glanville]," Gleb said. "I think she's very cute. You know, she's a flirt. We kind of looked at each other, maybe there was a moment, I don't know!"
A moment! Brandi would be lucky to get some older woman action from this 29-year-old stud, but — in crushing news for Singleton Nation — he's actually "happily married" in real life. He's just a flirt who loves all women. And we love him back, if only from afar!

Campus Conversations
Marlene Moore has had just about a year to settle into her deanship. Here she discusses how she arrived at Willamette, opportunities and challenges ahead, and the value of a liberal arts education today.
Tell us about your higher-ed background.
I got into a wonderful liberal arts school as an undergrad. I loved it, and it changed my life. I started off going through a biology degree, and I worked in research labs during the summer at the Texas Medical Center — a very exciting place to be. I finished that up and went to Baylor College of Medicine for a PhD.
As with many faculty members, I never intended to be an administrator — to go to the dark side [laughs]. I finished my post-doc at Oregon Health Sciences University and there was an opening at the University of Portland. It just rekindled for me the wonderful experiences I'd had as an undergraduate, and I found myself able to be part of the opportunities that were given to me.
Why did you want to come to Willamette?
I read the motto and I was done for, because that so resonated with my personal value system. "Not unto ourselves alone are we born." The goal of graduating people of purpose and passion totally speaks to my heart and what I do. So I got better acquainted with Willamette's mission and its values, and the rest is history.
What strengths do you bring to Willamette?
I'm a strategic thinker. I love to learn and gather information, analyze it and decide on a course of action. I am a person who executes. I enjoy taking ideas and turning them into reality, and I work very hard to make that happen.
What do you believe are Willamette's strengths?
Willamette has a wonderful tradition of people who are dedicated to the same vision, and who have worked toward improving the quality of this institution. Current and past faculty, alumni, trustees and administrators have all been united by personal and social responsibility.
Willamette is also strong for its interdisciplinary nature. People here are good at addressing complex, real-world issues through the lenses of their own disciplines, while also valuing the perspectives that other disciplines provide.
Why do you think that's important?
That's where the world is. That's what we have to learn to do. Everything now is so complex that no one person will ever know enough to address each issue. We have to learn to work together; we have to learn to value the contribution of a different viewpoint, even if we don't fully understand it; and we have to learn to trust people to know things we don't know and to bring those ideas to bear.
Why is a liberal arts education valuable?
When we educate at Willamette, we emphasize enduring truths — the things that persist no matter what is happening in society — and we teach people how to solve problems and how to innovate. That's because we are educating for a world that doesn't yet exist; we don't know how the world might change.
What do you hope to accomplish here?
In general, success involves meeting students where they are; understanding how they're different than we were as students; and knowing how to motivate them, how to encourage them, and then how to challenge them. We want more than their personal fulfillment. We want them to graduate mobilized and ready to serve society. We also will continue work this year on earning reaccreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The accreditation process is like an interview — someone asks us what is special about Willamette, what we care about, what kind of resources we are devoting to what, and whether we are making progress. This is something that will involve all of us in a great deal of reflection and conversation.*

Artist Lucrari Claudiu Cândea knows how to take something utterly grotesque and abnormal and make it appear natural- or even sexy. In his series of drawings, the subject matter are apparently unphased as their skin peels and unfolds from their forms. Anatomical small intestines, hamstrings and organs are uncovered as morbid and suggestively macabre female figures are portrayed with simultaneous grace and beauty.

Inside the Atami Adult Museum, photography isn't allowed, though this incredible sneak shot of Bugs Bunny in a threesome with two Pink Panthers is just a taste of all that it holds. The dying trend of Japanese Sex Museums, like the city of Beppu's Hih?kan, (which closed but you can still tour on YouTube for posterity's sake) allowed visitors to witness see-through wombs, pinnipeds mid-coitus, and an animatronic display of Snow White being pleasured by all seven dwarves...

Note: One of the great beers here on the West Coast is Deschutes Abyss. I wrote this column in January, 2008. The new version of Abyss has just been released.
On the edge, Abyss has A licorice whiskey punch
Occasionally, a beer comes along that's so interesting, it boggles the mind. Our first Beer of the Week is one of those. It's The Abyss (***3/4) from Deschutes, Bend, Ore. In its two short years of life, it's become a cult beer. And no wonder.
Talk about a walk on the wild side. The name's appropriate: It's 11 percent alcohol by volume, almost coal black with a thick, dark head. The aroma's intense: Bourbon whiskey and licorice, among many other notes. This is a beer that slides across the palate like silk — first sweet, then a whiskey taste, then vanilla and licorice and wine and roast malt that lasts into a long finish, warmed by alcohol.
The intricate manner in which Abyss was brewed shows us how far craft brewers have come in this great beery adventure of ours. Deschutes brewer and barrel master Jake Harper said the idea came from a licorice stout and a blackstrap molasses stout both brewed at the Deschutes brewpub in 2005.
"We decided to combine them, barrel-age them and dry-hop them with cherry bark and vanilla beans," Harper said. They brewed the beer in two sessions in a process called a double mash. Then when the mash liquid was boiled, they added three hops, strong and bitter Northern Brewer and herbal Millennium and Nugget hops, also hard licorice sticks and blackstrap molasses.
After the boil, the 500 barrels of beer were divided into two fermenters — half fermented with the house Deschutes yeast, the other with a Belgian yeast. About one-quarter of the whole batch was placed in a combination of used bourbon barrels, French Pinot barrels and regular Oregon oak wine barrels.
Part of the brew stayed in barrels for eight months. Finally, the whole batch was reassembled into stainless steel tanks and dry-hopped. Usually that means placing fresh hops in the fermenter. But instead of hops, whole vanilla beans and cherry bark were used.
Finally, Abyss was carbonated and bottled. The only technique they left out was bottle-conditioning, adding a bit of fresh yeast to each bottle for a slow second fermentation in the bottle. They figured that at 11 percent ABV and 56 International Bitterness Units (Budweiser's about 13 IBU), the beer didn't need that extra step.
Abyss runs $10 for a 22-ounce bottle.

Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city that is strongly influenced by Western culture but also retains a deeply rooted Chinese character. Traditional festivals such as Lunar New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival are a few of the examples through which we can learn more about local culture.
Starting from tomorrow (July 1) to September 28, the Hong Kong Museum of History will hold an exhibition on "Traditional Festivals in Hong Kong". Through display boards, the exhibition will explore how Hong Kong conserves traditional festivals, such as Lunar New Year, Ta Chiu, the Tin Hau Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Cantonese opera, as part of its intangible cultural heritage.
The exhibition is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and co-organised by the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
The cycle of festivities regulates the routines of people's lives. Traditional agricultural activities follow the annual cycle. In Hong Kong, traditional festivals are usually public holidays celebrated by the family. The Lunar New Year is a time both for rest and for holding festivities to herald the coming of a new season and a new beginning. People clean up their homes on New Year's Eve, enjoy the family reunion dinner and go for a stroll around the New Year fairs. On New Year's Day, the entire family gathers around the table to share the first meal of the year, and family members pay courtesy calls on their relatives and friends after the meal.
On the 15th of the first lunar month, many lineages of local villages hold lantern-lighting ceremonies in their ancestral halls, where lanterns symbolising the baby boys born to the lineage are lit, and the names of the new-born are added to the lineage's genealogy records. Lineage members enjoy a communal meal, with the food prepared in big pots for all diners to share to generate an atmosphere of geniality. At the lantern-lighting ceremony and the communal feast, the male offspring's lineage membership is formally recognised, and the rights and obligations of lineage members are imparted to them.
Ta Chiu is one of the major festivals in Hong Kong. Among the many Ta Chiu festivals, the annual Bun Festival on Cheung Chau is unique. Residents on the island erect a sacrificial altar to the wandering ghosts in the form of three 13-metre-high wood and bamboo towers decorated with steamed buns. Believing that after the ceremony the buns will be infused with sacred powers, the locals make a mad dash for them. The frenzied scenes at the Ta Chiu Festival on Cheung Chau earn it the name "Cheung Chau Bun Festival".
Hong Kong has many temples that are dedicated to different deities, such as Tin Hau, Kwan Tai, Hung Shing, Pak Tai, Kwun Yum, and Wong Tai Sin. Residents regularly go to these temples to worship, pray and make offerings to the deities. On the deities' birthdays, the locals organise a variety of celebratory activities, bringing ceremonial offerings to the temples to repay the deities for the patronage and protection provided over the year. The Tin Hau Festival on the 23rd day of the third lunar month is the biggest of the annual celebrations dedicated to folk deities.
The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the politically minded poet Qu Yuan, who committed suicide for his beliefs by throwing himself into the Luo River. Legend has it that the villagers nearby raced out on their dragon boats, banging gongs and drums to scare away fish and other underwater creatures to stop them from eating Qu Yuan's body. Tai O, a fishing village at Hong Kong's western end, has hosted the annual dragon boat festival with a distinctive local flavour for more than a century. On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, a dragon boat with a small sampan in tow paddles up to each of the four temples in the community to call on the temples' deities. The following day, images of the deities are put on the small sampan towed behind the dragon boat and are paraded along the water channels to pacify the water ghosts.
Major Chinese traditions provide a general framework for local folk festivals. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, for example, people in different parts of China gather under the full moon to enjoy moon cakes and reminisce on the fairytale of Chang Er, the moon goddess. Each year, large Mid-Autumn Festival lantern shows are staged in Hong Kong at which different styles of lanterns using traditional handicrafts are displayed.
Many distinctive festivities have evolved in Hong Kong over time, and Cantonese opera has been a key element of the various traditional folk celebrations. Cantonese opera, also called "Kwangtung grand theatre play", is performed in period costume to the accompaniment of a Cantonese music troupe. A Cantonese opera repertoire typically includes historic epic tales and love stories, with each play lasting from three to four hours. The plays performed during folk festivities were originally staged for the benefit of the deities, and they have therefore come to be known as "plays for the gods". Since these "plays for the gods" may be presented over a period of three to five days, a makeshift stage is set up as the performance venue. Apart from serving as a place where the art of Cantonese opera can be appreciated, the large community theatre also provides a good opportunity for the locals to socialise. The "plays for the gods" provide an important training ground for new generations of Cantonese opera artists.
The Museum of History is located at 100 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It opens from 10am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays. It is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays). Admission for "Traditional Festivals in Hong Kong" is free.
For details of the exhibition, please visit the Museum of History's websites at http://hk.history.museum/ or www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/History, or call 2724 9042.

did anyone draw a polynomial curve for its bradford test? :blush:
Re: bradford curve
I never use bradford.
The range is somewhat limited, and should be linear.

Re: bradford curve
Yes, in fact until recently I used to use a linear regression line for my Bradfords but i've now started using the polynomial curve and find it's actually easier to work out values as well as being more accurate than the straight line.

Apple patents rocking and rolling mouse
A just-revealed patent from Apple shows that the Magic Mouse might be getting even more super powers in the future.
As well as touch abilities, Apple is considering even more motion sensors than your average computer rodent boasts with a triple-axes gyroscope that detects the roll, pitch, and yaw of the mouse.
This would mean users could tilt the mouse to scroll horizontally and vertically or tilt the input device to move something - such as an image - on the screen.
The rockable mouse would also get a convex bottom in order to make it easier to carry out the tilts by rocking or rolling the mouse.
There's tons more info and diagrams over on Patently Apple if you fancy learning more, and we'll be sure to keep you posted with Apple news.

In Robert Charles Wilson's new novel The Affinities, as in many of his other novels, the world as we know it is about to be remade. The difference with many of Wilson's previous works is that, this time, the change seems relatively mild—or at least, at first it does. There are no aliens. There are no disappearing continents or mysterious artifacts from the future or impermeable spheres surrounding the entire planet.
Instead, the big change arrives gradually, brought on by very human advances in social teleodynamics. New technologies, algorithms and testing methods allow a company known as InterAlia ("Finding Yourself Among Others") to sort people who pay a modest testing fee into twenty-two Affinities. The members of each affinity are supposed to be hyper-compatible: they are more likely to cooperate with each other in all areas of life, from the personal to the professional.

Trading my KLR for a Burgman 400....another talk me out of it thread

Nope can't do it. That is, talk you out of it, wont even try.
7 Yrs ago had foot operation so couldn't shift. Bought a 250 Elite so I could still ride. Would go up Ortega Hwy, twisties to Hells Kitchen eating establishment on my scoot in shorts, sandals, cast and crutches. Had 1150gs, Guzzi Bassa, r100gs P/D and Transalp sitting home taking a break. Saw a 650 Burgman in Salt Lake on Fleabay that a lot of plastic that was busted up. Drove and rented trailer to pick up and take home, lots of snow. Put 20,000 miles on that 03 and didn't touch it. A couple of years ago saw 03 650 for sale, bought it off Suzuki employee. Had 223 miles on it, now has 12,000 on it, not touched.Now this is not a dual sport but IS an adventure bike as it will go every where on asphalt as smooth and effort free as any bike out there. Took it out to Ocotillo Wells and went 10 miles down desert road!! If in pouring down rain 80 mph you will barely get wet from waist down. The manual paddle shifters let you put RPMs to work and help braking down hill. 45-50 mpg, super comfortable seat and ergos for me. Just put front and back tires on at 10,000 miles. Will race Harleys with gusto and smoke them in twisties with ease. Excellent brakes, 3 discs, and still have lots of wear left. Have large Givi on back but Chase Harper cl850 humongus throw over bags work perfect to haul as much as any KLR. I know as I have a dr650 with tank bag, Ortliebs or the cl850, Rotopax, Cvclerack with a 40' atv rack over that with giant North Face scuba bag. liked this one over Silverwing as like the shifters. I always have more than 1 bike, now I have 4 but this is a keeper. Not a sport bike rider but surprise lot of sportbike riders on all bikes in twisties as having rode Ortega for 45 yrs.
If you are NOT going in dirt this scooter will do all that is asked and more, also very easy on any passenger, comfy with backrest, floorboards and SMOOOOOTH.
I know, tell us what you really think.
PS. I do like the looks of the Scarabeo. Good luck with your decision, LeBron made his, you can make yours.

gave me a toy helicopter made of oil containers and bottle caps and a book entitled God Is No Stranger. The text contained spiritual expressions from the people of Haiti. The photos were beautiful—candid, but capturing the souls of their subjects. To my surprise, on the twenty-fourth page was the same woman I had seen in a photo in Régis's book 13 years before—the one sitting in the chair having her tooth extracted.
This was your mission, wasn't it Régis ? It had to be. It was the first, and the only one here long enough for you to grow up in and to return as a dentist. Is this where you returned to die? Are you here in one of the tombs I saw as we ascended the mountain? Or did you feel too stigmatized to return home? Did you die in the hospital in Port-au-Prince? Are you buried in that huge cemetery I could see from the hillside in Pétionville? Is it a comfort that I still think of you? It has been 12 years and not a week goes by that I don't think of you. You and all the others. But especially you, my blood brother. You were infected by the blood of one of your patients. The first occupational fatality. The first to die as a consequence of your professional duties. Am I the only one who knows the truth? You should have been hailed as a hero. Instead, they insisted you were gay, so they could blame you for your fate, wash their hands of your blood. If you were an innocent victim, there might be other innocents as well, and God would have no justice or mercy. But you were all innocent. We have no one to blame but ourselves—our own ignorance and willingness to tolerate intolerable conditions. You were just the most irrefutable case, and it took me 13 years to understand. It's bad enough that you all had to die, but how much did we add to your suffering through stereotype and blame? You had a curse on you, didn't you? But, then, so did I. Cursed by naivete and enslaved by conventional thinking. I've been sleepwalking through the biggest medical event in my lifetime, enslaved by the constraints of my world and ignorant of the reality of yours. It took this visit to your home to wake me up. Once you see it, it all makes sense—the poverty and the things some people have to do to survive in places like Cité Soleil. So even if we can't cure AIDS, we ought to be able to do something about its cause. The problem is, most of my

Expert Tips on How to Help Seniors Increase Hydration and Protein Intake
Nutrition needs change as we age and Heather Schwartz, a Registered Dietitian working at Stanford Hospital and Clinics, provides insight into why it's difficult for seniors to change their diets and follow the "doctor's orders." Get tips on how to help your senior loved one implement recommended diet changes in the real world.
By guest blogger: Heather Schwartz, MS, RD
We rely on our doctors for advice on the most important health decisions we make, yet when it comes to nutrition advice, sometimes there is a gap or misunderstanding in how we think we should put their recommendations into effect. For example, "Increase your hydration," and "consume more protein," are some of the recommendations seniors often hear at the doctor's office… But rarely are they given the information to understand WHY and HOW to do this.
Here are two common nutrition recommendations frequently heard in the doctor's office, why he/she most likely wants you to do it, and how to make it happen when you walk out of the office.
Two Common Nutrition Doctor's Orders for Senior Citizens
1. "Increase your hydration"
Dehydration can cause confusion, fatigue, hot or cold sensations, muscle cramping, headache, dry mouth, eyes and skin, constipation, dangerous changes to blood pressure, and abnormal blood chemistry (ex: blood sugar, electrolytes).
How much fluid is this, exactly?
- If you are 65 or older, your mission is to get in ~2 Liters per day, or 9 glasses (1 glass=8 oz) of fluid.
- If you have kidney or heart problems, please ask your doctor for specific amounts.
- Remember that all liquid counts (milk, soup, coffee and tea, popsicles) and some fruits and vegetables too.
- Drink 1 glass with each meal and one in between meals to make sure you get enough.
- Keep fluid in arm's reach throughout the day and stash one in the car or your bag when you leave the house.
- Your urine should be light in color-the darker it is, the more at risk of dehydration you are!
2. "Consume more protein"
Without enough protein, your body struggles to maintain its immune system and muscles. This increases your risk of infections and pressure sores, falls and broken bones, and can make movement challenging.
Protein deficiency in seniors is a rising concern and can cause problems with wound healing, dental issues, easy bruising, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Protein foods usually require the ability to cook, chew, and Also, eating enough protein may help those trying to lose weight more successful.
How much protein is this, exactly?
New research suggests that seniors may need more protein than we used to think.
A minimum to aim for is ~45 grams for senior women, and ~60 grams for senior men. For specific guidelines, speak to your registered dietitian.
One egg white has 7 grams of protein, 1 string cheese has 8 grams, and a can of tuna or chicken has close to 40 grams.
How do you physically plan to reach this goal?
Make sure you get enough by eating a good protein source at each meal and at snacks too. If you have difficulty chewing or swallowing your protein, there are many ways to drink your protein too-milk, yogurt, soy milk, protein smoothies and some nutrition supplements can be great sources of protein too.
Breakfast tip: cook your hot breakfast cereal with lowfat milk or soymilk instead of water (+8 grams)
Lunch tip: add ½ cup beans to your salad or soup (+6 grams)
Dinner tip: finish the protein on your plate before starting on the fruits, vegetables, starches and dessert.
Snack: add 1/4c of nonfat dry milk powder to your pudding or smoothie (+8 grams)
*Keep in mind that too much of anything is not always a good thing—this goes for protein too! Seek advice from your doctor about your protein needs if you have kidney issues.
Stay tuned for more examples of how to take your doctor's nutrition orders into action!
