This paper presents a program to simulate performance of a liquid phase catalytic exchange (LPCE) column of a water detritiation facility based on combined electrolysis and catalytic exchange (CECE) technology over a wide range of deuterium contents in a feed stream. The program uses rate constants of the chemical isotopic exchange reactions between gaseous hydrogen and water vapor occurring on a hydrophobic catalyst and the mass transfer rate between water vapor and the film of liquid water on packing material in the LPCE column, which have been measured experimentally using a specially developed method and at a low concentration of deuterium in a three-isotope mixture. The effect of the deuterium presence on the kinetics of isotopic exchange reactions and the performance of the LPCE column are taken into account considering several possible mechanisms that can control the overall rate of reaction. Selection of the most suitable mechanism was carried out by comparing the simulations with the results of an experimental test with a large deuterium content.The simulation program allows calculation of isotope profiles in streams of liquid water, water vapor, and gaseous hydrogen along the LPCE column over a very wide range of isotopic compositions and for CECE facilities of several different layouts.

Pull It Down
26/02/08 12:40
Are you a 24p addict just like us? Don't worry, there is nothing to be ashamed of! Some cameras, like Panasonic's Varicam can record 24p (really 23.98) within a 720p60 signal. It does this by duplicating frames. To get back to 24p you can remove what is known as Advanced Pulldown to get the footage back to 24fps. You can do this on capture from a FireWire source (like Panasonic's AJ HD1400).
Ahhh, 24p! Love it!
Like this tip? It comes from the book
Final Cut Studio On the Spot from Focal Press.
- Open your capture presets (Final Cut Pro > Audio Video Settings and choose the Capture Presets tab) and select a DVCPRO HD preset to edit.
- Make sure the Remove Advanced Pulldown and/or Duplicate Frames from Firewire sources is checked.
- If you forgot
to do this you can always remove the duplicate
frames after the fact. Select your clip in the
Timeline and choose Tools > Remove Advanced
Ahhh, 24p! Love it!

HD Progressive or Interlaced—Pick Your Poison
19/02/08 12:40
One question we get asked a lot is, when working in HD, is progressive or interlaced better? The question is not as simple as it might seem. Here is some food for thought:
Consider progressive if:
- you might
possibly be going back to film.
• you might have to create additional versions of the show. It's easier to create interlaced versions from a progressive master than the other way around.
• you have a lot of motion. Progressive footage tends to look "smoother."
Consider interlaced if
- compatibility
with existing NTSC interlaced television is a
must. Not having to convert from progressive
reduces the possibility of introducing artifacts.
• you have a lot of detail. Interlaced footage tends to look "sharper" when compared to progressive footage.

Open Access
12/02/08 12:40
Open format Timelines is one of our favorite features in Final Cut Pro 6. They become particularly useful when you need to integrate SD footage into an HD show. However, you need to make sure a couple of options are set up correctly.
- Open up User Preferences by pressing Option + Q.
- Choose the Editing tab and in the lower right-hand corner make sure Always scale clips to sequence size is checked. With this box checked, Final Cut Pro will scale your SD footage to the HD frame but it will not distort the aspect ratio. The result will be a blown up pillar boxed image.
- Open up your sequence settings by choosing Sequence > Settings or Command + 0 and choose the Video Processing tab.
- Change the
Motion Filtering Quality pulldown to Best. This
ensures Final Cut Pro will scale your SD clip
using the highest quality. Click OK.
If, for whatever reason, you did not have the Always scale clips to sequence size checked in your User Preferences you would have ended up with your SD image centered in the HD frame as a small box. Don't worry though, you can fix this.
- 1 Select the SD
clip you want to scale.
2 Choose Modify > Scale to Sequence.
- The clip's
scale has automatically been adjusted to fit the
HD frame size.
While the scale to sequence method can be very helpful in working with SD footage in HD projects, scaling is happening (potentially a lot) so expect some degradation of the footage.
Note: Be wary of the Conform to Sequence command also found in the Modify menu. This command will adjust not only scale, but also aspect ratio possibly resulting in a stretched SD image if you conformed to an HD sequence. Conform to Sequence will also adjust field dominance by applying a Shift Fields filter if needed.
Like this tip? It comes from the book
Final Cut Studio On the Spot from Focal Press.
Multiple Versions
05/02/08 12:40
- Create a new sequence and load a new sequence preset (for example, Apple Pro Res 422 NTSC).
- Take your high def sequence and nest it in the new one you just created.
- If you're asked if you want to conform this sequence to the new one, choose No.
- Voila! You now
have a letterboxed version of the show because
FCP maintains aspect ratio of the original
sequence its scale was reduced to fit in the 4x3
Additionally, after you nest the sequence you can open it in the Viewer and increase its scale to 70% (this will, of course, depend on your acquisition source—70% is derived from HDV footage). This will essentially edge crop the original HD sequence. Just be very careful—if the footage was not shot 4•3 safe—you could be cutting off important action and/or framing.

PRECISION Air Services (PW) plans to launch an education campaign dubbed 'Elimika na Precisionair,' geared at erasing a number of negative views for customer services, loss of baggage, among others.
The campaign will soon run in both print and electronic media in the country. Precision Air has decided to conduct such public education awareness drive because there is a major challenge in the country's airlines and the clients that they handle.
The airline has a culture of conducting training to their staff on customer service in every six months. Often, clients complain, among others, change in aircraft, cancellation of flights and change in departure time.
PW's rules clearly indicate that a client must report at the airport three hours before departure, but however, a lot of customers have a tendency of ignoring it, assuming they will arrive at the airport before closing of the gate.
The airline also has a policy of informing its clients on any cancellation of flights, ensuring customers to be more creative on network planning, call centres, among others. Notwithstanding, PW offers all information online where customers can access services online ticket bookings.

Episode 112: China, India, and Bangladesh
David shares prayer updates for China, India, and Bangladesh.
Please remember them that are in bonds.
A secret document obtained by China Aid Association (CAA) details the Chinese government's plan to eradicate house churches within 10 years. The State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) issued the document in cooperation with the ministries of Public Security and Civil Affairs. According to CAA, phase one of the strategy involves a thorough investigation of house churches from January to June 2012. Phase two concentrates on "cleaning up" the house churches that have been investigated within two to three years, and phase three aims to eradicate the house churches within 10 years. Strategies for accomplishing these goals include incorporating house churches into government-sanctioned Three-Self churches; banning the words "house church" from all websites, media and documents; and implementing humane law enforcement measures. CAA reports that persecution and suppression of house churches has risen by 20 percent this year. A house church pastor from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, said, "The situation this year is especially tense." Pray for China's house churches as they proclaim the truth of the gospel. Pray that the Lord will strengthen them in the midst of persecution.
Kartik Paramenika, a leader of the 2008 massacre in Orissa, India, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Ramesh Digal. Paramenika's murder conviction in March was the first conviction related to the widespread mob violence against Christians in Kandhamal, Orissa, in August and September 2008. Kartik led a mob to Petapanga village in 2008, where he killed Ramesh and burned his home. Ramesh worked as a cook in the school where Kartik served as headmaster. In addition to the life sentence, Kartik was also sentenced to five years for arson and was fined 5,000 rupees. Convictions are sometimes difficult to obtain in India because witnesses are often threatened and harassed. John Dayal, a member of the government of India's National Integration Council, said, "Justice remains the critical issue in Kandhamal, where a combination of circumstances, including lacunae [missing information] in investigations and coercion of witnesses, has resulted in a long series of acquittals. This conviction will help begin to rebuild faith in the judicial system. We must also congratulate the public prosecutor for securing this major success."
Pray for Christian converts in a discipleship program. They are taught to sew as a means of supporting themselves. The worst persecution for Christian converts often begins after they are baptized because baptism is seen as a formal declaration of faith. Many converts are disinherited, forced to leave their parents' homes and even expelled from their villages.

DigitalGlobe's WorldView-3 satellite has only been in space for less than half a month, but it's already proven itself capable of shooting high-res images just like the company promised. Just a few days after Lockheed Martin flew it to orbit, the satellite quickly went to work, snapping pictures of Madrid, Spain. As you can see in the gallery below, it's pretty easy to spot vehicles, rooftops and landmarks in these images. DigitalGobe says its services can benefit companies and governments that want to assess vehicles and monitor a region's development (housing, infrastructure and road networks), among other things. Conservationists can also use it to monitor natural resources. While these first set of images are already great, the company will start delivering even clearer, closer satellite snapshot to all its customers by February next year.

Palmer JP1
The JP1 is a full on assault on your senses, the batmobile looks combined with the three litre Cosworth built Jaguar V6 mated to a full race spec Hewland FTR 6 speed sequential gearbox provides an amazing track experience. Our car is one of around 15 customer cars built expertly by Palmersport in Bedford and they are not to be confused with the lesser powered cars on the Bedford Autodrome experience days.
From the moment you sit in the car, press the starter button and configure the display on the stack steering wheel you will feel you are in something special. The LED Stack Steering wheel shows you gear, rpm, shift lights and all of the other information that you need, the gearbox will chatter as you pull away and once up to speed on the circuit the flat shift system means you keep your foot to the floor and simply pull back the lever to change up as you fire through the six speeds on the way to the other side of 150mph on some circuits.
Like all of our cars you can specify the addition of a Video & Data package to take away the video of your day with a data overlay and separate data analysis file, highly valuable if you are looking to improve your driving or if you just want a great record of your day.
Further Information
track day car hire from track-club is not your typical red letter day type experience - our cars are hired out on an exclusive basis and we manage the day as if the car is your own car for the day.
Typically a track day will start at around 0800 with driver sign on, either before or after the safety briefing a track-club technician will introduce you to your car and instructor (if you have booked an instructor). Once you are briefed and you are comfortable in the car and familiar with the controls you will be free to take to the track at your leisure. Our cars do not have artificial rpm limits and we only expect that drivers to treat the car as they would their own. The car should have around 15-20 minutes rest in each hour of driving to allow for fuelling, oil checks, tyre pressure setting etc. Your hire ends at the end of the track event.
You can share a car with as many drivers as you like subject to payment of the additional driver premium but we recommend no more than 3-4 drivers per car to allow a sensible amount of driving time for each driver. We do not count an ARDS instructor as an additional driver if you are receiving tuition and they want to demonstrate a technique to you.
The hire fee includes;
- exclusive use of the car at the your chosen track day
- the car is prepared in our motorsport workshop, delivered to the circuit, cleaned and made ready in your allocated garage or in the paddock
- insurance subject to the vehicle specific excess, typically £2500
- full technical support, one of our technicians will aid you with harnesses and manage fuel, tyre pressures and suspension settings
- all fuel included for sessioned track events, first tank of fuel included on open pit lane events with additional fuel subsidised at £1.00 per litre
track-club can arrange the booking of your preferred track day and co-ordinate track fees, tuition, car hire and any other services on your behalf.

The Timken Company selects SMS Concast to supply a new vertical bloom caster
SMS Concast AG, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, has been awarded - jointly with SMS Concast America Inc. Pittsburgh, Pa. - a major contract from The Timken Company of Canton, Ohio, U.S.A., to supply a three(four)-strand UHQ (Ultra High Quality) vertical bloom casting facility for Timken's Faircrest steel plant in Canton.
The new vertical bloom caster (completely vertical with no bending / unbending) will have highly specialized equipment for the production of highest-quality cast blooms.
SMS Concast is supplying all main equipment for the vertical bloom casting facility including ladle turret, tundish cars, molds and hydraulic oscillation, mold and final stirring (M-EMS & F-EMS), topfed dummy bar system, pinch roll units, dynamic MSR/MHR units, containment and strand guiding, secondary cooling, in-line quenching, and all discharge equipment.
Additionally, the complete electrical equipment and automation package including level-2 process control will be supplied by SMS Concast.
"We conducted a thorough evaluation of a limited number of quality equipment vendors, and SMS Concast's caster best met our needs," said Tom Moline, Vice President of steel manufacturing for Timken. "We continue to see growing demand for Timken® specialty alloy steel bars, and the addition of this caster will bring greater differentiation and expanded capacity of high-quality product to our customers."
Moline added that the large-bloom continuous caster is central to productivity gains projected by Timken once its recently announced US$ 225 million investment at the Faircrest facility is complete in 2014. The new caster, along with a new ladle refiner, is expected to increase the Faircrest operation's shippable capacity by 25 percent, and enable production of a broader range of large diameter bars.
This order continues the long tradition of SMS Concast equipment at Timken, starting in the 1960s with a curved-mold bloom caster, replaced in the early 1990s with a complete new curved-mold machine still in operation at Timken's Harrison steel plant in Canton.
Beeing a member of the SMS Meer Business Area, Mönchenglad- bach, Germany, SMS Concast AG serves long-product steelmakers worldwide as a provider of comprehensive engineering services, the complete line of meltshop and continuous casting equipment, services, and automation and process control systems.

builing this summer
Just beginning to put my plan together for building a WFO, I was originally going to get a Big green egg and then I thought that a WFO would be better and more versatile for what I want to be able to do: bake, roast, and smoke. I have an outdoor kitchen under way and this will complete it. Any suggestions would be welcome!:)

Very nice campground. We were only here one night but the park was very well maintained. Check-in was efficient and friendly. They have a nice swimming pool and plenty of room to exercise our dogs. Looks like many families stay here on vacation and there are activities for all. Roads are a little tight but doable in a big rig. - brettsmith

Nice park with shaded, wooded sites. Lots for the kids to do and the staff are very friendly. Close to Cedar Point. New owners are very helpful, too! - Julie B

We stayed here on a PPA rate for one night. The park is mostly grass and was nicely kept. We parked on the grass and was able to pull though. The entrance and exit off the highway is steep, so much so that the road is all scraped up. We dragged and damaged our safety cable for the toad. Other than that it was a good over night stay at a PPA rate. - houseonwheels

Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency Ali Asghar Soltanieh writes notes as he attends the Board of Governors meeting at the UN atomic agency headquarters in Vienna, on March 6, 2013. AFP PHOTO / ALEXANDER KLEIN
TEHRAN: Iran's supreme leader on Thursday signalled openness for the first time to US offers to hold direct talks on his country's disputed nuclear drive, but voiced pessimism over the chances of a breakthrough.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say in all decisions on Iran's nuclear programme which the West suspects is cover for a drive for a weapons capability.
"US officials time after time have offered one-on-one talks" on the sidelines of negotiations with the so-called P5 1 group of major powers, Khamenei said in an address broadcast live on state television.
"I am not optimistic about these (direct) talks but I am not opposed to it either," Khamenei said, while visiting the holy city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran on the occasion of Persian New Year.
The United States -- along with Britain, China, France and Russia plus Germany -- has been involved in the longrunning P5 1 negotiations with Iran.
The next round of those talks is scheduled for April 5-6 in the Kazakh city of Almaty, after Iran hailed the last round in March as a turning point.
A senior US official, speaking in Jerusalem where President Barack Obama is travelling, said that Washington was committed to the P5 1 process.
The official added: "But in that context, we would be open to bilateral discussions."
Previous calls by Washington for direct dialogue with Tehran had been shot down by Khamenei. The two governments have had no diplomatic relations for more than three decades.
Khamenei did not say what had prompted his change of heart. But he played down the prospects of a breakthrough.
"We believe the Americans are not interested in a nuclear settlement," Khamenei said, adding that US officials would "only want to dictate their own agenda" and not listen to Iranian positions.
If the US was seeking a solution, Khamenei said, "the Americans should recognise Iran's right to enrichment and then move to alleviate their concerns by implementing the regulations" of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The IAEA, the UN's atomic energy watchdog which monitors Iran's nuclear activities, has raised the alarm over possible weapons-related work in the past.
Those allegations lie at the heart of Western suspicions about Iran's intentions.
Iran insists it regards the atomic bomb as "banned by religion," and says it operates only a peaceful nuclear energy programme.
Iran is under multiple rounds of UN sanctions over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, as well as additional unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union targeting its oil income and access to the global banking system.
The US and Israel, widely believed to be the Middle East's sole but undeclared nuclear power, have also refused to rule out a military strike against Iran to prevent it getting the bomb.
Khamenei on Thursday renewed a threat of devastating retaliation against Israeli cities if Iranian facilities came under Israeli attack.
"Every now and then the leaders of the Zionist regime threaten Iran with a military attack," Khamenei said.
"They should know that if they commit such a blunder, the Islamic republic will annihilate Tel Aviv and Haifa," he said.
Iran is said to possess ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel. It also boasts of close relations with Israel's foes in the region, including Lebanon's Hezbollah and Palestinian militants in the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip.

By STEVEN NALLEY
At its regular Tuesday meeting at City Hall, the Starkville Board of Aldermen will set a date for a work session to address both the redistricting of city wards and prioritization for capital improvement projects.
It will also plan for a public hearing at a later meeting to amend Starkville's subdivision regulation ordinance to allow developers to finish paving roads at the first phase of construction, making construction easier.
Federal regulations require the city to keep the population of its wards as balanced as possible, so cities look at which wards are under- or over-populated after each census.
Cities then redraw borders to rebalance the population, making every effort to keep current city officials within the wards they represent.
Lynn Spruill, chief operating officer for Starkville, gave a presentation July 5 on the wards which made it apparent more than a few officials lived near current ward borders, putting them at risk for losing office if the borders cannot be drawn to keep them in their current wards. At that meeting, Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins suggested the matter be tabled until fall.
"I think we need to pick up on this after the budget process because we're going to have to deal with some issues on the budget process, and with the municipal complex, we're going to have these town hall meetings," Perkins said. "I would suggest that we just wait until after September to pick back up on this because these other issues are going to consume the public's attention and time, given the magnitude of those two matters."
Now, Spruill said, both matters have been addressed, and the board is ready to discuss any issues that may arise from redistricting.
The same work session will also return to an issue raised in a June 21 work session, she said. At that time, Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman gave all board members a list of possible capital improvement projects compiled by Government Consultants, Inc. representative Demery Grubbs and asked them to give a priority level to each project.
Spruill said projects could be rated A, B or C, with C having the lowest priority and A having the highest. The work session will bring the priority lists of all the board members together, she said.
"Once that list gets compiled, it will give the board an idea of the priorities for capital improvements, given the constraints of funding," Spruill said.
The subdivision ordinance amendment up for a public hearing pertains to current limitations on road construction during subdivision construction, Spruill said. Currently, crews can only complete the bottom layer of asphalt at the first phase of construction, and they must wait until the houses are 80-85 percent complete before they can add the top layer. The amendment would allow crews to complete the road all at once, Spruill said, while still allowing them the option to build it in two phases if desired.
"The attempt is to try to make the development of subdivisions more friendly for the city and the developer," Spruill said. "It allows for a stronger road surface to travel on when it is most needed, when you have heavy construction trucks. You've got a better base that can carry those kinds of loads."
The board will also:
u Hear a request from State Theatre for a resolution to support their application to the ABC division of the state tax commission for an extension of operating hours under resort status.
u Consider approving a budget for 2-percent funds for the Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority after hearing a presentation from OCEDA President Jack Wallace on this budget.
u Hear a request from Morgan McDowell of the MSU Student Association for a fee waiver for homecoming banner signs.
u Discuss a budget proposal for the $50,000 grant Starkville earned when Blue Cross Blue Shield named it Starkville's Healthiest Hometown.
u Hear a presentation by Jason Wooten of Pepper-Wooten Engineers and Surveyors on results of drainage studies for Maple Drive and Carver Drive.
u Hear a report from City Clerk Markeeta Outlaw on the progress and timeline for a recent transition to new software.
u Hear from Spruill on concerns about parking on Westside Drive.

Pitt's Turnovers Lift WVU
"I can't tell you enough what a big win that was for West Virginia, for this staff and for me personally," said Mountaineer coach Bill Stewart, now 27-11 at WVU and 2-1 against Pitt. "To come on the road in the Big East, anytime, is special. To win in a pretty good manner is even more pleasant."
West Virginia (8-3, 4-2) and Pitt (6-5, 4-2) both remain in the hunt for a Big East title, but the Mountaineers will have the tiebreaker over the Panthers should both teams finish with identical conference records. If UConn (6-4, 3-2) wins out against Cincinnati and USF, the Huskies will get the Big East's BCS bowl berth because it owns tiebreakers over the Panthers and Mountaineers.
West Virginia has one regular season game remaining next Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium against Rutgers (for tickets log onto http://www.wvugame.com).
This afternoon, four Pitt turnovers - two in the red zone - led to 28 West Virginia points. West Virginia's 35 points were nearly as many as it scored the prior three times it has played against Pitt, and it was the most since WVU lit up the scoreboard for 45 in an 18-point victory over the Panthers at Heinz Field in 2006.
Pitt came into this year's Backyard Brawl a field goal favorite, but West Virginia's defense asserted itself on the game's opening possession when Brandon Hogan picked off a Tino Sunseri pass and returned it 53 yards to the West Virginia two. From there fullback Ryan Clarke barreled in to make it a 7-0 West Virginia lead.
Pitt tied it late in the first quarter, moving the ball 59 yards in eight plays to reach the end zone. Sunseri hooked up with Devin Street for 13 yards to the Mountaineer 41, scrambled 18 yards on third and eight to the WVU 21 and then hit Ray Graham out of the backfield for 13 yards to the eight. On Pitt's next play Sunseri hooked up with Street in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard TD.
West Virginia's other first half touchdown was also set up by a turnover when Graham coughed up the ball and it was recovered by Hogan at the Pitt 46. Two plays later, Geno Smith hit Noel Devine out of the backfield for 48 yards to the Pitt two.
"That really gave us a spark when we needed it," said Stewart.
Tight end Will Johnson completed the drive with a two-yard touchdown reception.
Before Devine's catch and run, West Virginia's offense had managed just one first down and 27 total yards. Stewart said he wasn't happy with the way his defense was performing, and let his nationally ranked unit know about it at halftime.
"They were 8 of 12 (on third downs) at halftime and they had 23 minutes of possession," said Stewart. "We had the ball 16 plays. I said, 'My God, fellas, we don't have a chance. This has got to change.' I know the score is still pretty close, but you cannot keep an offense just coming and coming and coming because they are going to eventually hit the big play."
The Mountaineers took control of the game on their opening possession of the third quarter when Smith found Tavon Austin for a 71-yard touchdown catch and run on third and seven. It was West Virginia's longest scoring play of the season, and was also the longest pass play the Panther defense has given up this year.
"I really was watching Bradley Starks in the corner of my eye along the sideline," said Stewart of Austin's long touchdown catch. "I thought he was going to get the ball to Bradley on the post and then all of a sudden her comes that little flash out from the backside and I said, 'Oh, man!'
"Tavon is just a guy out in space … he's tough," Stewart added. "He's a space guy and he's a very difficult to get the handcuffs on him, so to speak."
Austin scored a second touchdown late in the third quarter when he worked his way free in the corner of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown to put the Mountaineers up by 18, 28-10.
Twice in the second half Pitt gave up the ball on downs, and a mishandled snap by Sunseri with the Panthers at the West Virginia nine gave the ball back to the Mountaineers at the 24.
West Virginia put the game away with an 11-play, 76-yard drive that ate 5:55 off the clock and finished in the end zone when Clarke went in from the two. Eight of West Virginia's 11 plays came on the ground, but the three throws were big ones – one for 38 yards to Jock Sanders on third and 12 that took the ball to the Pitt 40, a second to Sanders for 11 yards to the Panthers 18 and then another one to Sanders for 13 yards that took the ball to the Pitt two. That set up Clarke's two-yard plunge.
Clarke's TD run was West Virginia's first fourth-quarter touchdown in Big East play this season.
West Virginia had a chance to tack on seven more late in the game, the Mountaineers actually getting to the Pitt two on a Shawne Alston 19-yard run, but the play was brought back to Pitt's 12 after Eddie Davis was called for holding.
Stewart chose to run the ball four straight times up the middle instead of going for another touchdown.
Smith only tried 12 passes, completing nine, for 212 yards and three touchdowns. Most of those went to Sanders and Austin, who caught two passes for 83 yards, and Sanders, who finished with four catches for 70 yards. Sanders is now the all-time leading pass catcher in WVU history with 195 career receptions.
Alston led West Virginia with 71 yards on 16 carries and now shows 182 yards in West Virginia's last three wins against Cincinnati, Louisville and Pitt. Clarke added 28 yards and two touchdowns on six carries.
"We wanted to run Ryan Clarke and Shawne Alston and that's what we did today," said Stewart. "And we did it with option."
Sunseri completed 26-of-48 passes for 284 yards, but Pitt was held to just 78 yards on the ground.
Pitt completes its regular season next week against Cincinnati.

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that catcher A.J. Ellis was named the winner of the seventh annual Roy Campanella Award, which is given to the Dodger player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame catcher. The award, which was voted upon by Dodger uniform personnel, will be presented to Ellis by Campanellas daughter, Joni Campanella Roan, during pre-game ceremonies Saturday night.

The 31-year-old has been a steady presence behind the plate all season, ranking second on the club with 127 games played and fourth among Major League backstops with 125 games and 1,097.0 innings as a catcher.

Hoping To Make Sunny's Future BrighterWednesday, February 12, 2014

Don't Forget To Protect Your Pets From The ColdFriday, January 24, 2014
While some animals may bask in a bitter winter day, others would tell their owners how cold they are, if they could.
Canine Advocates of Newtown President Virginia Jess agrees that some dogs may love the cold, "but not all," she said. She has noticed her own dog's discomfort. Of her 40-pound sheltie-collie mix, she said, "I know that when we walk our dog in the snow, she would pick up her feet and I would wipe them off, the salt gets in there." She also warns, "Animals can get frostbite, too."

AICN confirms that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics will follow this summer's Green Lantern: First Flight with Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, based on the 2003-2004 comic-book storyline by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness.
Superman/Batman will be the sixth in the series of direct-to-DVD DC Universe Original Animated Movies that began in 2007 with Superman: Doomsday. Bruce Timm reportedly is executive producer.
The official synopsis appears to follow the source material — the initial arc of the Superman/Batman comic series — pretty closely, with President Lex Luthor claiming that a kryptonite asteroid heading toward Earth is part of a sinister plot by Superman. Luthor then offers a $1 billion bounty for the Man of Steel and his "partner in crime" Batman.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is expected to be released this fall
Sweet! I know they already did this, but this will still be awesome! The Wonder Woman one they just released was incredible, believe it or not.

BYU Cougars Get All-Black Uniforms
Between their old-school uniforms and conservative culture, BYU is likely the last team you would expect to turn to the dark side with all-black uniforms.
But as rumored this past spring, the Cougars are breaking out black unis for a "blackout" for the team's Oct. 13 home game vs. No. 14 Oregon State, unveiling the new look on Monday.
As you can see below, the all-black threads come with royal blue trim and what appears to be a matte black helmet with a white circle and blue logo instead of the other way around. This is a huge upgrade from the ugly look that surfaced in April without a circle around the logo and a spiky helmet stripe, although we don't know how close the school was to actually using that design.
Judging by comments on the BYU football page such as, "OH MY GOSH I AM FREAKING OUT" to "It's about freakin' time we visit the dark side!" and "Those helmets are DIRTY SON!", these uniforms look like they are going to be a big hit in Provo.
What is it about black uniforms that always seems to result in mass euphoria?
But we have to admit: We are huge fans of this look as well, as these unis are a million times better than BYU's last foray into new uniforms. Grade: A

Nice- thin fits under the helmet!

Comments about Pearl Izumi Transfer Lite Headband:
Nice thin design keeps the sweat out of the eyes and glasses. A slight push on the helmet and it drains the band for another 20 minutes! Fits nicely under any helmet and works.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sweat stopper
By ladycyclist
from Florida
I perspire so much that sweat drips into my eyes. I have worn these sweatbands for years and have also tried other brands. To me, these are the best. They are lightweight yet absorbent and fit under your helmet without adding bulk or discomfort. If you sweat like me, give these at try.
Great Product
By Mibikeguy75
from Fife Lake, MI
I perspire heavily when I ride and have difficulty keeping the sweat out of my eyes and off of my glasses. This does the job and is comfortable under my helmet. Works great...
Head Band
By Award23
from Salt Lake City, UT
The headbands are not bad, but I have used the Halo headbands and they are better at keeping sweat out of your eyes.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hesitant but glad I bought it
By Laverkin cycler
from Laverkin, utah
I wanted something to keep the sweat out of my eyes and caking on my glasses so I bought this hoping it would help and so far it has worked like a champ! I sweat like a Dog when I ride but this headband keeps All the sweat way from my eyes and face! Love it!!
Exactly what I was looking for
By Chanbikerdad
from Chanhassen, MN
I'd been looking for a head band that would fit under my helmet for awhile, so was delighted to see that Nashbar carries a few options. This wicks away sweat nicely (and I sweat a LOT) yet doesn't require helmet readjustment. Will purchase a few more of these now.
It works under a bike helmet.
By xcski
from White Bear Lake, Mn
I use it mostly under a bike helmet. It is thin enough to fit comfortably.

Headband Works Well
By DM from Malden
from Malden, MA
My helmet "stays put" better, let's my head "breath" instead of being surrounded by a full skull cap in the hot & muggy weather, helps absorb perspiration, seems to be well made.

Drake To Remain Empty For Weeks
The U-W-L dorm that was damaged by fire this weekend could be left vacant for the next month...University chancellor Joe Gow says students will not be able to move back into Drake Hall for two to four weeks, because of repairs that must be made following a basement fire on Sunday. Although there was damage to the electrical systems at Drake, Gow says the fire was not electrical in nature. There's also no evidence of an accelerant being used to start furniture on fire. The chancellor says there are plans to install sprinkler systems in the residence halls that were built in the 50's and 60's.
Wisconsin Shakes With Earthquake
(AP) A minor earthquake rumbled through southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey say the 2.4 magnitude quake happened just before 10 p.m. Monday and was centered about 30 miles from Kenosha, just east of McHenry, Ill. Several police departments in the area got calls from people who felt the quake. But no one reported any damage or injuries. The USGS estimates 1.3 million quakes with magnitudes between 2.0 and 2.9 occur each year.
Super Bowl Sorrows
(AP) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is warning distraught Green Bay Packers fans not to drown their sorrow about the team not being in the Super Bowl when watching the game on Sunday. The Packers were ousted from the playoffs by the New York Giants, who play the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. State Patrol Maj. Sandra Huxtable says the key is for people to plan ahead so they are not driving drunk after the game. She encourages party hosts to have non-alcoholic drinks and plenty of food available. The DOT plans to air a new federally funded television commercial during the Super Bowl and throughout February warning against drunken driving.
Petition Posting In Question
(AP) The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board isn't saying if or when it will post online petitions seeking the recall of Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The board made the petitions available to the Walker campaign on Friday and promised to post them online for the public to view Monday. But board spokesman Reid Magney says concerns relayed to the board by domestic violence victims worried about their names and addresses being made public cause the board not to post the petitions Monday. Magney says he has no comment on when they might put them online. Recall petitions targeted four Republican state senators have already been posted. The board was continuing to process petitions seeking the recall of Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
Committee Weighs Request for Train Horn Waiver
La Crosse is hoping for a special exception. The city will ask the feds to continue a waiver from the Federal Train Horn Rule along a section of track that runs through the southside to City Brewery. A train makes the trip in the very early morning now. Real close to city councilman Paul Medinger's place
But Medinger says that noise won't be so much like a background sound if the feds say no to La Crosse's waiver. In that case, train engineers would have to sound horns before every crossing from the main line to the Brewery and back again. A city committee votes on making the train horn request tonight.

Is Your Organization Playing with a Full Deck?
Look at any group of people who effortlessly work well together. Odds are the individuals share a lot in common with each other. They might have similar backgrounds, expertise, interests, or personalities. This is natural. Contrary to conventional wisdom, opposites do not attract. We find it easier to work with people who are like us. As a result, teams that lack diversity are the norm.
In fact, there is plenty of scientific research suggesting that homogeneous teams do indeed perform better than more heterogeneous ones for "low difficulty" tasks – those with lower levels of ambiguity, uncertainty and complexity.
However, research also shows that in situations involving "high difficulty" tasks, heterogeneous groups consistently perform the best. Innovation is, by its very nature, fraught with uncertainty and complexity. It is obviously a high-difficulty task. Although homogeneous teams are more efficient, it is the uniformity of thinking on these types of teams that limits breakthrough ideas and reduces innovation. Ensuring a range of innovation styles should be the goal in constructing such groups in order to maximize team performance.
Unfortunately, diverse teams, left to their own devices, are rarely efficient. Differences of opinion, creative tension, and infighting will naturally emerge. Individuals who think differently do not naturally communicate well with each other. Therefore, it is important that innovation teams be given the tools to "play well together."
Putting this together, we end up with three simple principles. And these are the three key principles of Personality Poker:
- People in your organization must "play to their strong suit." That is, make sure that everyone understands how they contribute to and detract from the innovation process. This includes ensuring that you have the right people with the right leadership styles in your organization.
- As an organization, you need to "play with a full deck." Embrace a wide range of innovation styles. Instead of hiring on competency and chemistry, also hire for a diversity of innovation styles. Every step of the innovation process must be addressed with people with the right innovation styles.
- "Deal out the work." That is, you must divide and conquer. You can't have everyone in your organization do everything. Instead, get them to divvy up the work based on which style is most effective at a given task. You can't have everyone generating ideas, or focusing on planning.
Innovation is the life-blood of your organization. It is crucial for long-term growth. Without it, your business will almost certainly become irrelevant and commoditized. Unfortunately, although it is important, it is not always easy. However, applying these three simple principles can help you create high-performing innovation teams that consistently "beat the house."

Agree with all your points ref innovation teams and especially the importance of heterogenous teams for innovation tasks of high complexity.
My experience has been that often companies recruit with regard to how employees will handle their operational tasks primarily – managing the current portfolio for example. So the recruiter has in mind optmising those 'operational' teams.
This is as opposed to how people perform in innovation teams. I have found that roles are often primarily designed around operational responsibilities with innovation responsibilities added as a secondary part of the role.
How to improve on this? Once again, i suggest it is about reminding senior managers to consider innovation more often and to have it as a higher priority.
It is tough though – particularly in the current climate when it is often SURVIVAL that is at the top of the company's agenda. Survival is about today's production, today's portfolio and today's sales! – not tomorrow's.
- September 8, 2010 at 9:10 am
I couldn't agree more on that.
Companies should take great considerations that the team is working as a full deck and letting them individually innovate but with a single cause.

AN F-16 fighter jet hurtles through the skies above the Dutch countryside, banking and turning, diving and climbing as if in battle with enemy planes and missiles. But apart from the F-16, the sky is empty. That's because its pilot is playing what is arguably the world's most exciting and expensive computer game: flying a multimillion-dollar plane against computer-generated opponents.
Cuts in defence spending, lack of airspace and noise complaints from the public have combined to make traditional plane-on-plane training a logistical and economic nightmare for many air forces. So instead of engaging in mock dogfights against colleagues flying other aircraft, the Royal Netherlands Air Force pilots are honing their skills by chasing virtual planes and dodging simulated surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles conjured up on their own plane's radar by a battle simulation computer installed in the cockpit.
"We are being squeezed environmentally and airspace-wise," a spokesman for the UK's ...

Giants fans everywhere were in for a bit of a shock today as their star pitcher revealed that he's chopped off his signature long locks. Lincecum is coming off a horrible year, by anyone's standards, especially his for someone who's won two Cy Youngs and was apart of the world series winning team. USA Today posted the pictures of a very sleek-looking Lincecum as he reported to a team meeting on Friday. Lincecum has come to be identified for his long floppy hair, which fit perfectly with the San Francisco free loving environment and youth that he brought to the league. Maybe the cut is a new start, as Tim is hoping for a bounce back year. Very Samson and Delialh-esque, if you ask me. Are you in favor of the new mature Lincecum?

Replying to: Phone gets hot by b123
Re: Phone gets hot / and loses audio
This is the first touch screen phone I have owned. The touch matrix seems vague although I recalibrate frequently. I have big hands and I always search for a phone that i feel comfortable that I can hit the correct key. This has been a problem with the LG for txat and calls. I backspace and re-enter more than I dial or type correctly the first time. The most disturbing fact I have found after 8 months with the phone is that if I am connected to another caller for more than 2.5 minutes my audio goes out and the other party cannot hear me. My son has the same phone and his has already been replaced for sim card and power issues. Could we just be the recipients of two bad phones from RS?

LONDON: Britain on Thursday urged Saudi Arabia not to carry out the "grotesque" punishment of paralysis for a man whose alleged crime took place when he was just 14 years old.
Ali al-Khawahir, 24, has reportedly been sentenced to "Qisas" (retribution) for allegedly paralysing a friend when he stabbed him in the back 10 years ago.
He could be paralysed from the waist down if he fails to pay compensation of one million riyals ($270,000), rights group Amnesty International said on Tuesday citing Saudi media reports.
Britain's Foreign Office said it was deeply concerned by the reports.
"We urge the Saudi authorities to ensure that this grotesque punishment is not carried out," a spokesman said.
"Such practices are prohibited under international law and have no place in any society."
Amnesty said paralysis as punishment would be akin to torture.
"It is time the authorities in Saudi Arabia start respecting their international legal obligations and remove these terrible punishments from the law," said Ann Harrison, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
The rights body said a similar sentence of paralysis was given in Saudi Arabia in 2010, but that it was unknown whether it had been carried out.
The ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom imposes several forms of corporal punishment attributed to Islamic sharia law, ranging from flogging to amputation and beheading.

To help decrease the amount of dust mites, encase mattresses, box springs, and pillows with mite-proof covers. Additional methods consist of washing bedding once a week in hot water, and dusting with a wet cloth once a week. Carpets can be a significant source of dust mites and should be vacuumed weekly with a vacuum cleaner containing a HEPA filter. Switching to wooden and leather furniture is another way to reduce the dust mite population in the home.

Eric Lerner comments that virtually all financial and experimental resources in cosmology are devoted to big bang studies (22 May, p 20). I would interested to know if the Hubble Space Telescope and the COBE and WMAP microwave background probes would have been designed differently if the prevailing cosmological paradigm was not the hot big bang, but instead a plasma cosmology or a quasi-steady-state model.
I suspect not. Whichever model appears to steer the experiment, surely the principal task of collecting evidence on apparent galactic red shifts and the structure of background microwave radiation remains the same. It might be appropriate to consider the following wise observation:
"In the beginning, when a new instrument is proposed, humans control the scientific programme completely. But, as the instrument is constructed, it is as if humans exercise less and less control, until in the end it is the instrument that overrides the humans ...

Malanje — The deputy secretary of the Angolan Youth Literature Brigade, Jorge Marques Bela "John Bella", on Thursday in Malanje Province urged parents and guardians to encourage youths and children to create habit of reading as a way of developing intellectual knowledge.
According to the writer, the habit of reading is a practice which adults should teach their children, whose task does not depend only on families but also on teachers to create moments of reading.
The writer stressed that when children want to plunge into the literary world they should not manage alone because adults are the ones with the power to decide on it.
