Guys like Kelly and Parko win money, why shouldn't you?
The fine gentlemen here at Transworld SURF would never condone gambling…yeah right! Who are we kidding? Of course we do! We'll roll dice or play poker anywhere, anytime, with anyone. So, with that being said, we've got a new vice to add to our growing list of fun problems—The Fantasy Action Sports League is our new addiction, and we're gonna go ahead and say that we're hooked—and we like it.
It differs from the other "fantasy" surf games for a few reasons, the main one being that you can actually win cash money (up to 30,000 g's!) when you go the pay-to-play route, and prizes from cool companies like Billabong if you play the free version of the league.
I usually hate signing up for these things because I have severe ADD and a fear of putting my personal info on the Web, but with this thing, I actually had fun. I attempted to play Fantasy Surfer a few years ago but I got confused and quit halfway through the sign up process—maybe I'm just an internet-idiot. Either way, with the lure of cash money dragging me in, I signed up, picked my team, and I will soon be rich by way of my team, aptly named "Chris Cote Is A Kook" winning the whole tour.
Playing is easy: You get a budget of 2 million virtual dollars for each ASP World Tour event to spend on buying surfers for your team. The better your team does in the event, the more points you get, and the more money you can possibly win. The price of surfers goes up and down depending on how hot they are at the moment. For example, the Brazil comp is coming up so I bought Adriano De Souza as my top pick for 45 million bucks. When I started running out of money, I bought Nathaniel Curran for the bargain price of 5 million dollars—which is a steal because I think he's going to do well in Brazil.
Basically, I love to gamble, and when I get to gamble on things like surfing and skateboarding, I get stoked. Try out the latest and greatest action sports fantasy league at www.fantasyactionsportsleague.com —Chris Cote

1993 GMC 3500 Pickup Q&A
1993 GMC 3500 Pickup Question: what could be wrong if my truck wont turn over
i ust replaced the starter so what else could it be - Visitor
Answer 1
You should never replace parts until you know that is the issue. Most aoto stores will test the starters, batteries, and alternaters for free. most parts should be off the vehicle. The starter circuit follows mostly this path: From the battery to the fuse box, then to the key switch, followed to either the neutral switch of an automatic or the clutch switch of a standard. Then, depending on the year, voltage travels to a local starter relay or directly to the starter. you need to google your truck starter circuit diagram and follow the voltage path. test voltage before and after each part it passes through, when you find where the power stops flowing, that part is the problem. One exception: test the power at the hot side of the starter which is hot 24/7. short directly across the 2 large gauge wires on the starter and it will turn over unless your cable that runs directly from the bat. to the starter has to be replaced.

Ruby Cooper, 52, is said to have bombarded the banking boss with calls and sent abusive messages in breach of the restraining order imposed on her in October last year.
She had been found unanimously guilty of breaching her restraining order imposed on her after she sent various abusive messages to Mr Hester in 2012.
The order banned her from contacting any director or former director of RBS but she was arrested again after NatWest employee Fiona Macdonald flagged up her latest calls to police.
At Snaresbrook Crown Court, in London, Judge Martin Zeidman remanded Cooper in custody until April 3.
Cooper, of Barnet, north London, will be charged with two breaches of a restraining order.

My family and a couple of my friends are going to Disney World this summer. My mom always likes to do something new each time we visit, last time we went, 2 years ago, we went to Universal for a couple of days before heading to WDW, and the time before that we went to the water parks, but we had a bas experience so I don't think we will be returning. The price difference between a Magic Your Way Ticket w/ Park Hopper, which is what we normally get, and the same thing just with the Water Park Fun & More is just $7.43, but when your talking WDW every penny counts, especially for my friends who are paying there own way except for lodging. I would just like your opinions on if Disney Quest is worth the extra $50 altogether?
By the way, the trip will be over the July 4 weekend... I know. We are leaving on that Friday and returning on the next Thursday. We are also DVC members and will be staying at our home resort, the Beach Club.

CFAO Ghana Limited has reported inspiring financial results for the third quarter of the year. The company chalked 398% growth in net profit over the same period last year.
The company recorded a sales revenue of GH ¢35.66 million during the third quarter of the year as compared to GH¢ 23.97 million during the same period in 2007. This signifies 49% growth over the same period in the previous year. On the other hand, because of the adoption of more prudent measures resulting in improved efficiency -General, Administrative and Selling Expenses fell by 15% from GH ¢2.64 million to GH ¢ 2.29 million.
These collectively resulted in a net profit of GH¢ 1.95 million during the third quarter of 2008, as compared to GH¢ 392,000 during the same period in 2007. This shows a magnificent increase of 398% in the company's net earnings.
CFAO Ghana Limited's core business is the distribution and servicing of automobiles and other selected machinery including the installation of Otis elevators. The company's leading brands are Renault, Mitsubishi and Bridgestone tyres. CFAO Ghana Limited also undertakes car rentals and other related activities.
So far, this year, the share price of the company's listed stock appreciated by 14% from GH¢ 0.035 to GH¢ 0.04. This is, however, less impressive taking into consideration the good financial performance of the company during the first two quarters, coupled with the impressive average performance of the GSE so far this year. The less inspiring performance of the company's stock is largely due to the shareholding structure of the company. The parent company of CFAO Ghana Limited, CFAO S.A. France holds about 82% of the issued shares which are hardly traded. This implies that only 18% (40,320,000 shares) of the shares which are held by other retail and institutional investors will probably be available for regular trading. This therefore affects the liquidity of the shares thus reducing the possibility of a new price discovery.

Incarceration and Unemployment
After reading "The American Welfare State" by Katz I was surprised by a number of revalations and statistics outlined in this reading. One portion of the reading that stood out most in my mind was the section comparing the U.S. rate of unemployment in relation to western European countries. "Official" U.S. unemployment rates were consistently lower than those in western European countries. The reason quoted for this lower unemployment rate in the U.S. was that the U.S. labor market was far less regulated and the market was "freer" compared to a European market inundated with unionization and a higher welfare state. While this makes sense intuitiavely, Katz makes a surprising revelation when he indicates that comparing the U.S. and western European countries was not a true "apples to apples" comparison because the U.S. unemployment rate does not take into account the number of inmates incarcerated in prisions and jails. Katz goes on to explain that factoring in the U.S. incarceration rate (which is significantly higher than western European countries) raises the "true" rate of joblessness in the U.S. This higher rate of incarceration not only artficially deflates the U.S. unemployment rate, but also has the added negatve impact of reducing job prospects for ex-convicts. This is because few employers want to hire an ex-con. Thus, young, unskilled minority men (who are incarcerated at a much higher rate than any other group) are caught in a vicious cycle of jail and unemployment from which they find it nearly impossible to escape. The prision system that is designed to rehabilitate convicts thus serves to perpetuate the unemployment cycle.

SMASHING steel balls together is the latest idea in the drive to make chemical synthesis more environmentally friendly. The collisions provide the right conditions to drive reactions between organic compounds without the need for harmful solvents.
Organic chemicals often have a stable crystal structure that locks up their molecules, making them unreactive. To persuade the molecules of different chemicals to mix and react, they must normally be dissolved in a solvent such as benzene or toluene. But the solvents can't be reused and are often toxic or harmful to the environment.
Researchers have investigated alternatives such as microwaves and hot pressurised water, but none has been cheap or efficient enough to persuade industry to give up solvents. Now chemists in the US have come up with a mechanical approach. Viktor Balema and his colleagues at the government's Ames Laboratory in Iowa took their inspiration from ball milling, a process already ...

Chapter 13. Spacecraft Navigation
Spacecraft navigation comprises two aspects: (1) knowledge and prediction of spacecraft position and velocity, which is orbit determination, and (2) firing the rocket motor to alter the spacecraft's velocity, which is flight path control.
Recall from Chapter 4 that a spacecraft on its way to a distant planet is actually in orbit about the sun, and the portion of its solar orbit between launch and destination is called the spacecraft's trajectory. Orbit determination involves finding the spacecraft's orbital elements and accounting for perturbations to its natural orbit. Flight path control involves commanding the spacecraft's propulsion system to alter the vehicle's velocity. Comparing the accurately determined spacecraft's trajectory with knowledge of the destination object's orbit is the basis for determining what velocity changes are needed.
Since the Earth's own orbital parameters and inherent motions are well known, the measurements we make of the spacecraft's motion as seen from Earth can be converted into the sun-centered or heliocentric orbital parameters needed to describe the spacecraft's trajectory. The meaningful measurements we can make from Earth of the spacecraft's motion are:
Some spacecraft can generate a fourth type of nav data,
By repeatedly acquiring these three or four types of data, a mathematical model may be constructed and maintained describing the history of a spacecraft's location in three-dimensional space over time. The navigation history of a spacecraft is incorporated not only in planning its future maneuvers, but also in reconstructing its observations of a planet or body it encounters. This is essential to constructing SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images, tracking the spacecraft's passage through planetary magnetospheres or rings, and interpreting imaging results.
Another use of navigation data is the creation of predicts, which are data sets predicting locations in the sky and radio frequencies for the Deep Space Network, DSN to use in acquiring and tracking the spacecraft.
Navigation Data Acquisition
The basic factors involved in acquiring the types of navigation data mentioned above are described below.
Spacecraft Velocity Measurement
Measurements of the Doppler shift of a coherent downlink carrier provide the radial component of a spacecraft's Earth-relative velocity. Doppler is a form of the tracking data type, TRK, provided by the DSN.
Spacecraft Distance Measurement
A uniquely coded ranging pulse can be added to the uplink to a spacecraft and its transmission time recorded. When the spacecraft receives the ranging pulse, it returns the pulse on its downlink. The time it takes the spacecraft to turn the pulse around within its electronics is known from pre-launch testing. For example, Cassini takes 420 nanoseconds, give or take 9 ns. There are many other calibrated delays in the system, including the several microseconds needed to go from the computers to the antenna within DSN, which is calibrated prior to each use. When the pulse is received at the DSN, its true elapsed time at light-speed is determined, corrections are applied for known atmospheric effects, and the spacecraft's distance is then computed. Ranging is also a type of TRK data provided by the DSN.
Distance may also be determined using angular measurement.
Fairly accurate determination of Right Ascension is a direct byproduct of measuring Doppler shift during a DSN pass of several hours. Declination can also be measured by the set of Doppler-shift data during a DSN pass, but to a lesser accuracy, especially when the Declination value is near zero, i.e., near the celestial equator. Better accuracy in measuring a distant spacecraft's angular position can be obtained by:
These techniques, combined with high-precision knowledge of DSN Station positions, a precise characterization of atmospheric refraction, and extremely stable frequency and timing references (F&T, which is another one of the DSN data types), makes it possible for DSN to measure spacecraft velocities accurate to within hundredths of a millimeter per second, and angular position on the sky to within 10 nano-radians.
Orbit Determination
The process of spacecraft orbit determination solves for a description of a spacecraft's orbit in terms of a state vector (position and velocity) at an epoch, based upon the types of observations and measurements described above. If the spacecraft is en route to a planet, the orbit is heliocentric; if it is in orbit about a planet, the orbit determination is made with respect to that planet. Orbit determination is an iterative process, building upon the results of previous solutions. Many different data inputs are selected as appropriate for input to computer software, which uses the laws of Newton. The inputs include the various types of navigation data described above, as well as data such as the mass of the sun and planets, their ephemeris and barycentric movement, the effects of the solar wind and other non-gravitational effects, a detailed planetary gravity field model (for planetary orbits), attitude management thruster firings, atmospheric friction, and other factors.
Flight Path Control
Trajectory Correction Maneuvers: Once a spacecraft's solar or planetary orbital parameters are known, they may be compared to those desired by the project. To correct any discrepancy, a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) may be planned and executed. This adjustment involves computing the direction and magnitude of the vector required to correct to the desired trajectory. An opportune time is determined for making the change. For example, a smaller
Orbit Trim Maneuvers: Small changes in a spacecraft's orbit around a planet may be desired for the purpose of adjusting an instrument's field-of-view footprint, improving sensitivity of a gravity field survey, or preventing too much orbital decay. Orbit Trim Maneuvers (OTMs) are carried out generally in the same manner as TCMs. To make a change increasing the altitude of periapsis, an OTM would be designed to increase the spacecraft's velocity when it is at apoapsis. To decrease the apoapsis altitude, an OTM would be executed at periapsis, reducing the spacecraft's velocity. Slight changes in the orbital plane's orientation may also be made with OTMs. Again, the magnitude is necessarily small due to the limited amount of propellant spacecraft typically carry.
Cassini provides an example of the accuracy achieved in rocket firings. The duration of a firing is executed within about 0.1% of the planned duration, and the pointing direction is executed within about 7 milliradians (0.4 degrees). Over the course of seven years from launch to arrival at Saturn, Cassini executed only seventeen of these planned, small velocity adjustments.

Herbs, Herbs, Herbs (Part 1)
I am a self-proclaimed herb freak. I would say that I have an all around voracious appetite for anything verdant, but herbs are my favorite of all. In the Summer, there is no dish that comes out of my kitchen that does not have a tinge of fragrant green. My hummus has speckles of basil and mint throughout, my black bean salad is loaded with mint and cilantro, and pasta is always tossed with herbs and garlic in any sort of shape or form.
Throughout the season I try to keep as many herbs on hand as possible. And I am very particular about where I source each one at the market. In fact, some of my market days are dictated by what herbs I can buy. I get my anise hyssop and za'atar (wild oregano) from Norwich Meadow Farm; my thyme, rosemary, and mint from Keith's Farm; and parsley and basil I get from Lani's (formerly Yuno's). All of this sourcing makes a difference. If you have ever had the rosemary from Keith's, then you know what I am talking about. It is what rosemary is meant to be, and the herb transforms whatever it touches. For that reason, my heart aches when I don't make it to the market on Wednesdays.
Herbs are the perfect expression of terroir, or how the geography, climate, and soil of a region affect the flavor of its products. They are also the perfect example of how variety is so important in maintaining a healthy food culture. Rosemary grown at an organic farm in Orange County, New York, will taste very differently from rosemary grown out in California, or even from the one that you grow in your backyard. You might think that mint is mint is mint, but have you tried Apple Mint? Pineapple Mint? Spearmint? Chocolate mint? Orange mint? Kentucky Colonel Mint? Now which one would you choose to make mint ice cream? Or how about a Mojito? Now a Mint Julep? Once you start exploring all of the varieties of mint, you never stop. Each variety has a slightly different flavor, which will increase the depth of flavor in what you are cooking. Think about that when you go to buy herbs at the supermarket, where they come in plastic containers and smell very stereotypical and fresh, but maybe not quite so nuanced.
Now on to recipe ideas, aka, the fun part. Cocktails: One of my favorite cocktails this Summer still does not have a name, but I will call it something sooner or later. You take a whole lot of basil and mint (I have been using the Kentucky Colonel from Keith's), a good shot of vodka, a good drizzle of agave, and the juice of two limes. Shake it up over ice and strain. It doesn't get more refreshing than that. I have also thrown in some nettle water, but I don't want to scare you. If you are interested, I will post what that is.
Appetizers: I haven't really touched many ingredients this Summer, because all I have been eating has been hummus, hard-boiled eggs, and potatoes. I can't explain it, but that is that. But I have been adding a ton of basil and cilantro to my hummus, as well as a serrano pepper for some oomph. It is velvety and green, with a nice twist of fresh and spicy. Other herbaceous apps and sides: Corn on the Cob with Herb Oil, Shiso Salsa Cruda, and Carrots with Carrot Top Chermoula.
Entrees: I eat a lot of beans. Tuscans are known as "fagiolini", because they eat a lot of beans, so I like to call myself a "Fagiolina". These dishes could count as appetizers, but I eat them as mains. I love my hummus garbanzo salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and hard boiled egg tossed with olive oil, tahini, and lemon juice. I toss in some fresh oregano, thyme, and/or mint, and dried za'atar (the spice mix). Or my Latin Black Bean Salad with Peaches, cilantro, mint, basil, red onion, corn, tomatoes, scallions, and anything else that is fresh. That dish was inspired by something Autumn Stoschek made for us when we visited Eve's Cidery, and I eat it at least once a week in the Summer. I also love to do a cannelini salad with rosemary and sage, and maybe some chopped preserved lemon. Other dishes to try: Classic Pesto Genovese; Michael Orkin's Sage, Basil, and Rosemary Burgers; and Zucchini with Corn, Clams, and Scallops.
Desserts: It might sound strange to have herbs in desserts, but they go so well. Chocolate Rosemary Ice Cream is a delight, and so is our Oregano Muhallebi (a sublime oregano-infused milk pudding). These drier herbs have a lovely affinity for milk, and the sharper mints and basils go great with fruits.
Pretty soon, herbs will start to fade from the market, and it will become spice season again, but in the meantime we have a lot herbs to explore.
Slow Roasted Sun Gold Tomatoes
If you haven't noticed the golden cherry tomatoes that are everywhere at the markets these days, you are missing out on a true treasure. I bought two pints the other day. I kept one of the pints raw for salads and popping into my mouth while I am cooking, and the other pint I slow-roasted for fun. Slow roasting is a technique to use that will soften your vegetables and concentrate their flavor times 10. I loved the result of slow roasting the tomatoes, as it amplified their sweetness and made them ready for adding to salads and garnishing other dishes (like black beans). I tossed them with a tablespoon or so of olive oil, added some fresh rosemary and oregano, and then put them in a 200 F oven for about 2 hours. My apartment smelled incredible, and I have been enjoying them in many different dishes since. Try it at home!
A Bone to Pick with Fiber Bars
I am usually disturbed by the food commercials that appear on television. This is because it is very rare that a food that you actually should eat is actually advertised. Fresh organic peaches from a local farm at the market certainly are not, neither are heirloom beans, nor artisan bakers for that matter. Not only do they do not have the money to pay for ad space during the Today Show, but I also think it must seem ridiculous to the producers of these products to advertise something that in its purity advertises itself. This leaves junk food, or what unfortunately many people think is normal food, to be targeted at millions of people daily.
There is one ad on the television these days that I find particularly offensive. The ad is for a name-brand cereal bar with fiber in it. Even though I am used to the ridiculousness of these commercials, this one threw me over the edge. In it, there is a man who is handing out samples of these bars, which have added fiber in them. They also have chocolate chips, which always seems like a strange addition to supposedly "healthy" foods. Why on earth are there chocolate chips in breakfast bars (why are there breakfast bars?), energy bars, and granola? Anyway, the first woman in line who samples the bar cannot believe that it is that delicious and has fiber. She is convinced that the sample man is playing tricks on her. When a second woman (a similar demographic to the first) comes up to sample, the first one continues to ask in an excited tone what she thinks of the bar. How can it taste good and have fiber in it is the question they ask. The comparison of fiber to "cardboard" is mentioned.
I was stunned when I saw this commercial. The fact that we are so dumb to think that we need a bar with added sugar and who-knows-what-else-in-it to give ourselves a basic nutrient speaks very strongly about the depth of our country's nutritional crisis. What I find so offensive about the commercial, though, is that the company is convincing the viewers that fiber, in fact, does taste like cardboard, and not like apples, strawberries, oatmeal, rice, beans, beets, almonds, or any other delicious food that is in fact healthy for us. Let me add that these foods are delicious in their natural state or a very basic preparation. It is also trying to persuade us that fiber is this hard to attain star of a nutrient that we can only rely on a bar with chocolate chips to provide us with. I could go on, but I think I made my point.
Do yourself a favor and avoid foods you see advertised on television. Chances are they are not made with your health in mind.

Never underestimate the resourcefulness of the British public. When Mercury launched its One-2-One cellphone service, the company scored massive publicity with its offer of free off-peak calls. Any call to a local number between 7 pm and 7 am, and all over the weekend, is billed as zero units.
Mercury's hope was that, having got into the habit of using their phones for free calls, people would start making cellphone calls during weekday working hours and run up big bills. Some do, but others are simply using an ordinary fixed phone during the day and their Mercury cellphone off-peak when it is free.
More to the point, telemarketing firms have cottoned on to the idea of using Mercury's phones to sell double glazing. They can make endless free calls in the evening and weekends instead of paying to use a fixed phone. Now minicab drivers have got in on the ...

2000 Buick Park Avenue Q&A
2000 Buick Park Avenue Question: Where would a fire occur as a result of ruptured intake manifold?
Recall issued for fuel regulator. "On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 V6 engines and certain Delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. A leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. If the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire...The backfire can rupture the intake manifold. The rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire. Here's what happened--A loud pop was heard right after turning key, and flames started shooting out of engine. Fire was put out quickly. Fire left a large crater in the center top rear of the engine. Car had very occasionally experienced small backfires when starting for a couple of months prior to this happening. Bought the car used a little over a year before this happened. Went online before scrapping car and found the recall notice (#48585) and called GM. Per instructions, had car towed to local Buick dealer for inspection to see if fire was related to recall. Dealer says "Fuel regulator is in from of engine and fire was in rear, so not the problem. Not covered under recall." I'm not a mechanic, but I've puttered with vehicles, appliances, and other things enough to know that my reasoning of a problem is usually fairly accurate. Am I mistaken in believing that a fire caused by this problem is most likely to occur on top of the engine, where/near where the intake manifold is located, not at the front of the engine where the fuel pressure regulator is located? Dealer also says they tested the fuel pressure regulator and it was fine--correct pressure. Could faulty pressure be intermittent and not show a problem with a single time testing? Is testing even accurate when the top of the engine, including intake manifold is gone due to the fire? Thanks for helping with this question. - nlr
Answer 1
I WOULD CALL GM'S CUST ASSISTANCE NUMBER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY INSTEAD OF TALKING TO YOUR DEALER. THEY WOULD KNOW IF THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM B4. I BELIEVE YOU WILL GET FURTHER WITH THEM. - globalhelper

Nairobi — The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on Friday urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to review his administration's economic development as he seeks ways to stem the rising cost of living.
Acting Party Leader Anyang' Nyong'o told a news conference at the party's headquarters that the Jubilee administration's decision to impose 16 percent Value Added Tax on goods and services had made life unbearable for many Kenyans.
"Our economy requires urgent, immediate and sustained rethink. The absurd policy of tax and spend has traumatised Kenyans," Nyong'o said.
There is however a bill in the National Assembly which seeks to make basic foods such as milk, sugar and vegetables VAT exempt.
"We are seeing and hearing the same old ideology that we've heard before over and over again: Salary cuts, retrenchment of workers, cleaning up the payroll of ghost workers and how there will be just a little more pain before it gets better. Kenyans are going through tremendous pain. It must not get worse."
Nyong'o who is standing in for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who is on month-long tour of the US, cautioned that Kenyans were starting to lose patience with the Jubilee administration saying the public deserves better.
He noted that the government has often delayed in taking decisive action to protect Kenyans from exploitation. He cited the introduction date of the VAT where National Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich did not act fast enough to publish items that were exempted from the new law, exposing it to exploitation by rogue businessmen.
The ODM acting Party Leader also cited the government's casual handling of serious challenges of insecurity and fight against terrorism.
"There is a feeling that public matters are being casual, and problems are being tackled in an impromptu basis. There doesn't seem to be a line of action that is going in a certain direction. This uncertainty is lack of a road-map that is consistently being followed, and it is worrying," Nyong'o stated.
The Kisumu Senator who served as a Planning Minister in the NARC government added that President Kenyatta needs to focus on eliminating corruption in government, insecurity, and lowering the cost of living.
ODM challenged the Jubilee Coalition to use its parliamentary strength to formulate legislation that will deal with youth unemployment and address the cost of living as well as encourage setting up of small enterprises.
"Jubilee must use its numerical strength in the Houses of Parliament to come up with administrative, regulatory and legislative measures to help small firms start and expand. But if we are to create job creators and not job seekers, the cost of loans have to fall," Nyong'o added. "Jubilee must use its numbers to champion these positive measures."
With the expected roll-out of the Sh6 billion Uwezo Fund and the enactment of a Bill that seeks to allocate at least 30 percent of the government's annual procurement to the youth, Nyong'o said the government must embrace small contractors and change the way it does business with them.
"Start-ups cannot afford to chase payments for months. A simpler engagement would help turn many enterprising young Kenyans into job creators, not job seekers. Small businesses must be treated as the engine of growth, and essential to economic recovery," advised in his statement.
The opposition party said it expects that the Head of State will give a road-map on how he seeks to address runaway cases of insecurity in the country, heightened cases of poaching, and how his administration would strengthen devolution.
"We are not convinced that the gaps in our security exposed by those attacks have been closed. The Government is saying the right words about the threat we face. But it has failed to take action commensurate with the threat.
"Poachers have invaded our world famous wildlife heritage with abandon," Nyong'o told journalists at Orange House.

With big wheels and an attitude, the Pinnacle Lithium 5 2013 Hybrid Bike is a fast and light weight city ride with a heavyweight character. It's based on a rigid 29er MTB layout for a confident ride position and designed with handling that suits the cut-n-paste of city short-cuts and emergency manoeuvres. Tough tyres, deep-section rims and a steel fork add to the security you'll feel from behind the wide riser bar, while reflective frame decals help you stay visible in dimly-lit areas. It's a true hybrid with the best elements of 29" MTBs and 700c urban genres rolled into one bike. Lithium Five uses an upgraded Shimano Acera and Alivio mix for fast shifting over 27 wide-ratio gears, as well as Shimano's splined Octalink crank system that will take heavier use in its stride. The brakes are upgraded to use Shimano M505 levers and the wheels are built with lighter Alex CD-X26 rims – a little quicker off the line for those traffic-light starts..

A Valentine to My Wife
Accept, dear girl, this little token,
And if between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken
The love my dying lips shall speak.
Our little ones are making merry
O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest,
But in these words (though awkwardvery)
The genuine article's expressed.
You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
I asked to be your Valentine.
What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"
And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.
So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?
– Eugene Field
"One Perfect Rose"
"A single flow'r he sent me, since we met,
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted pure, with scented dew still wet – –
One perfect rose.
I know the language of the floweret.
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose."
Dorothy Parker
"How Do I Love Thee"
"How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being an ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,–I love thee with the Breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!–and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."
Elizabeth Browning
"Blue Valentine"
"On this blue Valentine's Day,
Your memory invades my world,
Like a monstrous army,
Leaving destruction in its path,
On this blue Valentine's Day,
All my fears are realized,
Abandoned and blue,
Alone and blue….."
Ricardo Saul LaRosa
"I Reminisce"
"I reminisce for you,
I reminisce the days,
I try to forget,
But the feelings never go away.
I reminisce for you,
I reminisce the nights,
For the things we did,
And how it was so right.
I reminisce for the love,
For the love that was always there,
I reminisce, I reminisce and I know in my heart,
That you really did care.
Even though my mind played tricks on me,
And I cant seem to let you go,
I believe it's because your still loving me,
I reminisce, I reminisce,
And the memories tell me so"
Tawanda Price
Valentine Smile
On Valentine's Day we think of those
Who make our lives worthwhile,
Those gracious, friendly people who
We think of with a smile.
I am fortunate to know you,
That's why I want to say,
To a rare and special person:
Happy Valentine's Day!
Joanna Fuchs
Valentine Treasures
Valentine treasures are people who
have often crossed your mind,
family, friends and others, too,
who in your life have shined
the warmth of love or a spark of light
that makes you remember them;
no matter how long since you've actually met,
each one is a luminous gem,
who gleams and glows in your memory,
bringing special pleasures,
and that's why this Valentine comes to you:
You're one of those sparkling treasures!
Joanna Fuchs
Special People
On Valentine's Day, we think of people
who have cheered and encouraged us,
who go out of their way
to be kind and caring,
who have enriched our lives
just by being themselves.
You are such a person.
I'm so happy you're my _____
(friend, aunt, co-worker, etc.)
Happy Valentine's Day!
Joanna Fuchs
Valentine Gift
On Valentine's Day,
I'm thinking about
the special ways
you have made my life better,
the little things,
the not-so-little things…
your kindness,
the way you always listen
and pay attention to me.
You make my world
brighter and richer.
You're a gift to me,
and I thank you
for being you.

Friday September 17, 2010
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A Massachusetts woman has a remarkable
souvenir to take back home from South Carolina.
Maryellen Mara-Christian bagged a 13 1/2-foot 1,025-pound alligator
in Lake Moultrie. Mara-Christian said Friday that she is an
experienced hunter, but this was her first gator.
The 48-year-old former bank marketing officer from Fitchburg,
Mass., was hunting Wednesday with her husband, who is a firefighter
and a part-time hunting guide. It took about two hours to secure
the gator before they could shoot it.
The .22-caliber gun they used wasn't powerful enough to put the
animal down, so Mara-Christian used a knife to sever the
alligator's spinal cord.
Meat processor Steve Drummond said the gator had so much fat
that only about 40 pounds was usable meat. He will stuff the animal
for Mara-Christian to display.

Clumps of dark matter roving unseen through our galaxy could be revealed by careful observations of pulsars, a new study says. In fact, telltale signs of these clouds might already lurk unnoticed in archival data - potentially holding the key to understanding what the mysterious matter is made of.
Astronomers have abundant evidence that some sort of invisible matter permeates the universe. It reveals its presence only by the gravitational tug it exerts on ordinary matter, which it outweighs 6 to 1. What this dark matter is made of is one of the most hotly pursued questions in astronomy and physics.
The prevailing view is that dark matter consists of some sort of exotic subatomic particle, and various theories have come up with a zoo of candidates with names like neutralinos, axions, and gravitinos. Neutralinos, for example, are a product of supersymmetry, a theory that attempts to unify all the known forces of physics excluding gravity and posits that familiar particles like electrons and neutrinos have heavier counterparts.
But astronomical evidence has so far failed to allow scientists to distinguish between the possibilities, and laboratory experiments designed to detect individual dark matter particles have likewise come up empty.
Now, scientists led by Ethan Siegel of the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, US, have come up with a new way to potentially reveal blobs of dark matter drifting nearby and perhaps even pin down what it is once and for all.
Out of sync
They base their work on dense stellar corpses called pulsars. As the pulsars rotate, they emit radio pulses so regular they rival atomic clocks on Earth.
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, any object with mass - including dark matter clumps - distorts space-time around it. This means that if a dark matter clump passes in front of a pulsar as seen from Earth, it slightly alters the time it takes for the pulses to arrive at Earth.
By measuring the arrival time of pulsar signals very precisely, it should be possible to detect the presence of these dark matter clumps, Siegel's team says. "This is something that may already have happened and be in the data, but nobody's been looking for them up until now," Siegel told New Scientist.
Isolated clumps
Dark matter began clumping together soon after the big bang. Many of the clumps merged together to form larger structures, such as the massive dark matter clouds in which galaxies are embedded.
But many of the smaller clumps that never merged should still be floating around our galaxy, Siegel says. He estimates that about 100 trillion of these invisible clumps, each weighing between 20 and a few thousand times the mass of the Earth, may be roaming around the Milky Way.
"We expect there to be more of these dark matter clumps than there are stars in the galaxy," he told New Scientist.
Density clues
Perhaps most intriguingly, the pulsar observations might reveal dark matter's composition. That is because the mass of dark matter particles and their propensity to interact with each other affects the density of dark matter clumps.
The denser the object, the faster the strength of the pulsar's signal changes. For example, axions may be able to form denser clumps than neutralinos. "In that sense, we could possibly, with the current sensitivity, be able to detect whether we have axion dark matter or not," Siegel says.
The size distribution of dark matter clumps also depends on what it is made of, with supersymmetric particles like neutralinos producing a distinct cutoff below about 20 Earth masses.
Setting limits
But pulsar expert Joseph Taylor of Princeton University in New Jersey, US, says detecting dark matter clumps this way would be difficult. "Pulsar timing at that level is not easy," he told New Scientist. "I don't think it's likely to produce a convincing detection."
Still, he says it is "conceivable" that such observations, even without a detection, could be used to set a limit on how clumpy dark matter is in our galaxy.
Frederick Jenet of the University of Texas in Brownsville, US, who studies the way passing gravitational waves would distort pulsar signals, agrees. "We can do science with it - we can place limits on the rate of these events happening," he told New Scientist.
Says Jeremiah Ostriker of Princeton: "Any method that has even a remote chance of helping us to determine the nature of the dark matter can be of enormous importance."

Sumbawanga — KATAVI Regional Commissioner, Dr Rajab Rutengwe has warned agricultural extension officers in the region misleading and discouraging farmers, saying that Minjingu fertilizers was unsuitable for the region.
Dr Rutengwe has said he would not hesitate taking disciplinary measures against the malicious campaign. According to the RC, with the on-going efforts of sensitizing farmers and encouraging them to apply minjingu mazao during this farming season, yet most of them are still reluctant to apply over their fields on fear that it would harm their produces, the panic which has been exaggerated by some of the agriculture extension officers on the reasons best known to themselves.
However, the farmers reported to have trust on other fertilizers including DAP and NPK which are very popular to them. He further warned that he would never close his eyes over the unfounded rumors by some of the agriculture extension officials.
"This is intolerable, I will discipline them all once are proved guilty, because they are misleading our farmers as the fertilizer in question has been improved in quality, by adding several othernutrients," added the RC. According to RC Rutengwe, the present challenges villagers are facing include short supply of subsidized agriculture input and fertilizers in voucher systems compared to the high demands.
So he advised wealthy farmers to buy their own agriculture inputs instead of waiting for the subsidized one which are insufficient. The RC further expounded that during this farming season, the region has received 80,900 vouchers and they have already been distributed to the farmers in the region.

The Global Faculty expand NYU Law's faculty by inviting leading law professors from around the world who teach regularly at NYU while retaining their affiliation with their home institutions. They specialize in diverse fields of law, not just international law, and are renowned scholars in their countries and areas of interest. Their courses provide an extraordinary opportunity for NYU students to learn from and interact with these eminent scholars and to gain a new perspective on important legal issues. Along with our Global Fellows and Hauser Global Scholars, the Global Faculty represent the heart of the Hauser Global Law School Program and a key element in the intellectual life of the Law School.
NYU School of Law's relationship with many global faculty is continuing and intimate over several years, rather than single one-semester or one-year arrangements. The global faculty are thereby integrated fully into the fabric of the Law School, both its academic programs and the collateral activities that largely define the institution.

Normally we go during gay days and appreciate the $225/night rate at the Grand Californian... this year we cannot go that weekend, and I'm trying to find another weekend with decent rates in October or November. Does anyone have any tips on finding a rate that approaches that one? Are there any other conventions or discounts during what I thought was a slow period?
Thank you!!!

Well, with out even blushing, the Minnesota media is off to the races to portray the stalemates to be at the State Capital as entirely the Republicans' fault. Dayton delivered his state of the state last night. I did not watch it as I had a hockey scrimmage to go to. (Playoffs start Saturday)
But I can already tell, just by the media headlines, that the mission for the 2012 session is going to be destroy the GOP. Why? Because the media is dumb enough to copy and paste the DFL talking points: Dayton sets a new tone, Dayton stresses unity, Governor calls for teamwork.
As if for his entire term to date, he's been sitting there with arms extended with olive branches… The guy throws bombs at his political foes, casts with a wide brush, and spends millions lying about them during campaigns. And somehow the media in Minnesota just brushes that off and joins in the fight to destroy the GOP.
Just a week ago he said Republicans are unfit to Governor. Why? Because they rejected his anti-energy appointment to the Public Utilities Commission.
Folks, the fact is the Republicans had twice as many people show up at their Caucus than the Democrats last week. If this state was full of people wanting to surrender their liberty and hard earned money to Dayton and his dream team of bureaucrats, the DFL would have doubled the GOP turnout. The fact is that the people in this state don't agree with Dayton. They sent Republicans to guard the hen house by giving them majorities in both houses of the Legislature.
The fact is that Dayton may be Governor, but he's not an emperor. He has to enact the laws or he can reject all of them and send the state into a tailspin like he did with the shutdown. Oh yeah, in case you still don't understand, Mark Dayton shutdown state government all by himself. After weeks of the chaos, he came back and accepted the Republican's offer.
Tax the rich… broken record. You can't tax your way to prosperity. Tax increases are a one time fix at best because the long term effects will be less revenue. Yes, people with the kinds of income you need to
confiscate er tax, to increase revenue will leave. Those with vast amounts of accumulated or inherited wealth, will just stop taking an income or hide their trust funds in South Dakota.
What we actually have before us in Minnesota is a fork in the road. One way leads towards the kind f insolvency that you see in Europe and California. Where Government has grown and grown and grown under liberal political agendas to the point where it has become too big to fund. Where you have a majority of the people dependent on Government at first by force, but eventually by design because you've chased away the private competition or alternative. Think I'm nuts, why is their a flat out refusal to get real about transportation in Minnesota and force us to adopt living by train standards and not logical efforts to increase highways system capacity? Because they want us out of our cars so we have to live, work, and consume according to their design.
The other path before us, the right for in the road leads towards a future where we control our own destiny. Where funding government is not the priority. Where people decide what's best for them. Where consumers pick the winners and losers. Where freedom and liberty reign supreme, and are not considered the enemy.
Democrats have demanded the tax the rich solution in good times and in bad. It doesn't matter whether there is a budget surplus or a deficit, they want to take money away from some people and give it to others. Why? So the less fortunate will be forced to reelect their breadwinners. If everyone, or a majority of them, is riding in the cart, why the public will never elect another Republican, let alone conservative, Governor or a majority in the House or Senate.
Why if they can just get Minnesotans addicted to free money, health care, and mass transit, they'll never be dumb enough to vote GOP again.
Why, its not like we ripped up the street cars years ago…. Its not like we're already an unfriendly business state and we have to bribe companies to stay (Ford plant).
Wake up folks and stop getting your news from the mainstream press. Dayton is a hostile Governor. He's hostile to Republicans. He's unwilling to accept economic reality. He is a nanny state liberal who thinks that the real problem with America is that people have to freedom to succeed or fail. The dirty little secret of liberalism AKA Progressive politics is that not everyone can succeed so we all need to be miserable together (except for the trust fund brats who never had to earn an honey dollar or live under the laws and decries that they want everyone else to)
I'm sorry, but I am really getting sick of the dishonest reporting in this state. The socialism/ collectivist pap Dayton and the DFL are selling is not what the people want, but the MSM here never bothers to explain the cause and effect of the nanny state.
Everyone complains about traffic, yet we spend billions on avoiding the problem. Everyone complains about health care, yet the state dictates how miserable it has to be.
Blood pressure is way to high, I must stop.
Have a good Thursday. the sun is out and its warm. Good bye.

An Indiana woman who died in November requested in her last will and testament that her dog Bela be buried with her. One problem: Bela is still alive.
Isidro Zavala murder/suicide: Boynton Beach man kills his two sons and himself, police say
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A father strangled his two sons in front of their mother and then shot himself so she would live with the pain, according to Boynton Beach Police.
Investigators said Isidro Zavala, 45, walked into his wife's home at 431 S.W. 8th Avenue where he then used a rope to strangle his 11-year-old and 12-year-old sons.
"I don't know why someone would do something like that to the kids. I'm sorry, they didn't deserve it," said Neile Alcin, a neighbor who lives across the street from the home.
Alcin said her children were friends with the Zavala boys and were constantly playing with them in the yard.
"I'm going to miss them because we're not playing with them any more. We're not going to play Playstation no more. We're not going to see each other no more," said Billy Alcin, a friend of the Zavala boys.
Billy Alcin said it was just on Friday where he was flying kites with the two young boys. Billy and his sisters do not understand why the young boys were taken.
"Why? It's like the kids have hearts that are able to love everybody in this world," said Fibie Alcin.
Isidro Zavala's best friend, Mariano Batalla, said he spoke with Zavala on Friday night. Batalla said the two were suppose to go to a party together but then backed out.
"He told me yesterday like at 6:00 p.m. that I got something to do. He said 'have fun,' that's it," said Batalla.
Records show Isidro Zavala and his wife Victoria Zavala had been married since 1993. Document indicate Victoria filed for a divorce in October.
Police said Victoria pleaded with her estranged husband and tried to save the lives of her two sons.
"She said why won't you kill me, why don't you kill me. And he said, no you're going to live with this," said Detective Christopher Crawford of the Boynton Beach Police Department.
Police said according to their records, there is no history of any reports of domestic violence or abuse at the home.
Police also found a note at Isidro Zavala's home to his 19-year-old son, who was not killed. In the note, police said Isidro Zavala told his son how much he meant to him.

A sad day: TVR is officially no more
A TopGear.com tribute to the ambitious but often rubbish British company
Posted: 12 Jul 2012
Wheeler was the chain-smoking, retro-'tached Lancashire chemicals tycoon that bought TVR in the 1980s and shaped the cars we remember best. Wheeler, who died in 2009, had an eye for design and under his direction TVR's became ever more impressive and iconoclastic. Typically Wheeler took little or no credit, memorably assigning authorship of the indicator nacelles on the Chimaera to his dog Ned, who he claimed bit a chunk of out the clay model.
The cars were old-school, just how Wheeler wanted them. Built out of welded tube and clad in glass fibre they were assembled in a series of old sheds in Blackpool. Think of it as 'iStream' without a purpose. There was little inventory, financial or quality control, but the low-tech, hand-built approach allowed the design and engineering team's imaginations to run haywire. Think of them as prototype Paganis.
