He was born October 19, 1917 in Byesville and was the son of the late Adam and Hazel (Ables) Goldbourne.
Hap was a resident of Canton since 1941. He retired from U.S. Steel, as head electrician, in 1980 after 30 years of service.

Click here to View Profile
Click here to Hide Profile
This complex metro area, which includes Dutchess and Orange Counties, spans the Hudson River above New York City and the more upscale suburban cities and towns of Westchester County. Newburgh is located 70 miles north of New York City on the west bank of the Hudson just north of the West Point Military Academy, while Middletown is located in the southern Catskill Mountains about 20 miles west. Poughkeepsie is on the east bank of the Hudson 20 miles north of Newburgh, and numerous small towns fill the valleys in between. The two counties stretch from the Connecticut border east to New Jersey to the west.
Poughkeepsie is perhaps the best known town in the area, if for no other reason than its name and the large IBM complex in the town. It is also home to the well-regarded Vassar College, and is probably the most culturally rich town in this part of the Hudson Valley. Commuter rail service runs up this side of the Hudson, although the town is a bit far for daily commutes into Manhattan. The downtown area is fairly non-descript but significant investments are being made in the Hudson waterfront.
The once-prosperous industrial center of Newburgh has fallen on hard times, as a diverse core of manufacturing has largely left the city and little has replaced it. Whether historic preservation interests and state economic development initiatives can improve this city remains to be seen. The story of Middletown is similar. Both cities are starting to get some interest from residents farther south looking for less expensive housing, but the area's East Coast location and proximity to New York City brings high costs on a national scale.
The area is mainly hilly and wooded with deciduous trees. The east bank of the Hudson is a narrow, flat valley with hills rising to the east, while the west bank consists of high rocky bluffs, especially near West Point. The climate is continental with a limited marine influence from the south. Summers are warm and frequently muggy, with evenings occasionally cooled by breezes from all directions. Summer showers and thundershowers are common. Winters are cold and fairly wet with snow common. Periods of bitter cold with below-zero nighttime temperatures occur, although the Hudson Valley and hills shelter the area from the strongest winds and harshest cold. First freeze is late September, last is late April.
As of 2014, Poughkeepsie's population is 31,593 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 5.48 percent.
The median home cost in Poughkeepsie is $178,000. Home appreciation the last year has been 2.30 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Poughkeepsie's cost of living is 11.50% Higher than the U.S. average.
Poughkeepsie public schools spend $19,131 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 14.6 students per teacher in Poughkeepsie.
The unemployment rate in Poughkeepsie is 5.90 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Poughkeepsie jobs have Increased by 0.79 percent.

Syria warns Israel as Israeli DM wants NATO forces on Lebanon border
Syria will enter the Israeli-Hizbullah fight if Israeli ground troops enter Lebanon and approach Syria, Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said in an interview published on Sunday. "If Israel invades Lebanon over ground and comes near to us, Syria will not sit tight. She will join the conflict," he told newspaper ABC.
Meanwhile, following a meeting Sunday with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Israel's Defense Minister Amir Peretz said a multinational force should act to prevent the smuggling of weapons from Syria into Lebanon. According to Peretz, Israel has no intention of entering into a war with Syria.
He added that Israel would accept a temporary international force, preferably headed by NATO, deployed along the Lebanese border to keep Hizbullah away from Israel. "Israel's goal is to see the Lebanese army deployed along the border with Israel, but we understand that we are taking about a weak army and that in the midterm period Israel will have to accept a multinational force," he said, according to his office. Peretz suggested NATO be in charge of the force.

All post 07 model have that centre bung
brownie knows goats
I thought it would be handy to use for a bilge bung plug, but it is a little big.
Sounds like I should upgrade boats so I can know this stuff.
Can Anybody help me with a nautique question. i love the look of this tower and from what i have been told it is a flight control tower... im not sure what number tho, eg 1, 2, or 3! can anybody confirm? i found this on boatpoint! if its anybodys from here... nice boat. thanks for any help in advance.

Off the top of my head I dont know the model number of that tower but I do know it's one that was only offered on the 230/236.
I agree it's a flash looking boat!
Brownie knows boats!
Sport Natique 200
Hey guys just wondering if anyone on here can give their views or experiences on the Sport Nautique 200. We have people that enjoy a good ski but also want to be able to load up for everyone who wants to board...Also seems this is a boat that you could genuinely ski/board/surf behind reasonably well. Have seen the one at the Melbourne boat show and its an impressive looking vessel!
Hey Baz,
I had the chance to ride behind one over the Easter long weekend.
I was very surprised with the wake with 5 adults and the standard ballast.
It was a nice size and plenty of ramp, it wasn't crumbly at all and I got great pop from it.
We also had a wake surf behind it, and found that it was a good size, although we had too much weight down the back of the boat, it really needed more weight in the nose.
I'm not a skier so I can't can't comment on that side, but one of the guys had a ski and found it very good for a V-drive!
All in all a fun family boat, and perfect for a group that wants to do everything.
I have been meaning to upload some vids of the 200V in action for ages, finally got around to it...
Here is the link for a very quick slalom set behind the Sport 200 and I will upload a wakeboard set as well shortly. The boat imo is fantastic to ski behind, I enjoy it almost as much as a 196. haven't had much of an opportunity to wakeboard behind it yet.
MasterCraft - www.mastercraft.com.au - Website going live soon
Here is the link for a quick section of the wakeboard set. All of the footage is raw from my Iphone as I never intended to share this footage it was just for my reference but I think people like to see non-factory footage as most people at the recent boat show wanted to see the boat in action from the observers POV
Any questions just ask

Just completed a new stainless steel bimini for the 220 as I got a bit peeved with the old one. Tried to incorpoate some styling from the current model ones within reason given the different tower styling.
Sorry about the sketchy photo but it was just after fabrication. Willl get some more photos when it gets back from the canvas guys later in the week.
The bars on the top are adjustable racks and the whole thing is a swing down easy load style for putting the boards on the roof

Well i gave the naut some love last week. Removed all the old pinstriping and wet rubbed the whole boat back from 300 up to 1500 then cut and polished it back to shiney again, painted the bimini, racks and windscreen surround black, carpeted the step on the transom, bit before the platform and inside the gunwales and re-oiled the platform. now its looking so pretty.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Nice work, the gelcoat does comes back like new with a wet sand and buff. I have been doing some wet sanding of my 98 Sport as well lately. Not a fun job but it is satisfying when you start buffing and see that shine coming back. A couple of beers later while admiring your work and the arms don't seem quite as tired.
New bimini is finished complete with an easy load option for boards on the roof. Don't think it turned out too bad. Have heaps of space and adjustability on the roof now compared to before.
Got some covers made for the tower lights and speakers at the same time to stop the annoying bug splats!
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Not a silly question
Correct, I sold my spinner racks and bought some fluidcore ones (not mounted in the photos). Long story short, my racks need to be easilly removed to fit the boat into the garage. I also have a custom sky ski rack that is interchangeable with a wake rack utilising the fluidcore mounting system.
Very tidy work as per usual Andrew! Actually the whole rig looks spotless
We ran in to your other mate the the FAE on his Malibu at the boat ramp the other week. He had just had his first day out with it fitted and was stoked.
Brownie knows boats!
Andrew C That boat is looking sharp! You may have put this in the thread somewhere but can I ask what you use to paint your components black? and did you think of doing your bimini frame in black? I'd like the Z5 on our boat to be black.
Yeah my mate mentioned that he ran into you guys and after he described the boat I assumed that it was you.
The paint is just regular powder coating. I thought hard about painting the Bimini frame but decided not to fow two reasons.
Firstly because we lift it on and off all the time to store the boat, I was worried that the paint would be knocked around a little.
Secondly, the roof rails are adjustable forward and back and the metal fittings are a tight fit. I figured if there was paint involved the fit would be too tight and the paint would get scratched in the clamping and moving process when we adjust them as required.
Boys you aren't wrong, after a weekend on the water we are very impressed with the new boat. It is roomy and performs in all aspects very well.
Loving the pop with the belly tank full, it ski's pretty well and the surf wake is really fun, until Maritime put an end to that saying no lines under 6m, you might hit your head on the boat, people have died, yadayada...
Yes were staying at Big River, I heard they got someone with no observer.
The guy who pulled us over gave us a warning, he was pretty reasonable. Just had conflicting conditions and reasons behind banning wakesurfing to what I had read about.
we were there aswell, what colour naut was yours? we were in the black and green tige z1. We must have been lucky, the days we went wake surfing maritime wasn't out.
The seller of that boat will be happy to see it gone to a good new home. It was for sale for some time. I had a look at it on the net when I was in the market for my nautique. Certainly has an impressive trailer package.
Have fun, you'll love it
Yes, we looked at buying this boat a year ago also, from a fellow Big River Ski Lodge Resident, at the time we were unsure we could fit a boat that size into our lodge, so we bought the Lewis. Were wrapped when we looked to upgrade and realised it was re-listed for sale.

Why Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix will be a tough sell
Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix is an edition of Ubuntu Desktop tweaked for use by institutional or business users. It was announced by Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu, in this blog post. The first release is based on Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Live CD. So what is the difference between it and the end-user desktop Live CD edition?
According to Mark, the business edition "takes the most common changes we've observed among institutional users and bundles them into one CD which can be installed directly or used as a basis for further customization." Those changes include removing "features like music players or games" and adding "components that are a standard part of their business workflow."
That brings up this question: What is the penetration or adoption rate of Ubuntu Desktop in the business sector? I do not have the numbers, and Canonical has not released any, as far as I know, but given that Mark and Co. have had a rough going trying to persuade PC vendors to pre-load Ubuntu Desktop on personal computers sold to the public, I doubt that the adoption rate is significant. If true (I could be wrong, though), I do not thing that a separate desktop edition for business users will make any difference.
Here are reasons I think so, why Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix will be a tough sell to serious businesses, that is, those serious about protecting their assets and maximizing employee productivity?
Before we get to the reasons, here is the boot menu.
Now, to the reasons:
- Businesses now routinely stipulate that mobile computers (notebooks, ultrabooks, netbooks, etc) issued to employees be secured with full disk encryption. The reason is simple: Full disk encryption protects the data stored on a computer form those not authorized to view or modify it, as happens when the computer is lost or stolen. For example, back in 2009, Intel began deploying full disk encryption on all laptops issued to employees, and within 12 months, 75% of those computers were protected with full disk encryption. I do not have the latest figures, but I am almost certain that it should be 100% today. Besides businesses, full disk encryption has been required on all laptops owned by the Federal government, the US government that is, since 2006 (pdf).
But the problem with Ubiquity, the installation program of Ubuntu Desktop Live CD, which is the same one on Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix, is that it lacks support for full disk encryption. That is despite popular demand and a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to bring full disk encryption to Ubuntu Live CD. The only physical security feature supported by Ubiquity, is encryption of the user's home directory, which in the context of this discussion, is useless. So, until full disk encryption is implemented in Ubiquity, I do not think that major business entities will even consider Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Desktop Business Remix. This screen shot was taken while attempting to install Ubuntu Desktop Business Remix. If you have installed Ubuntu Desktop, it should be familiar to you.
Note: In most states in the USA, the law requires that the authorities be notified when a business computer containing personal identification data (social security number, driver's license number, debit or credit card number, etc) is lost or stolen.
- Ok, the second reason might not be a show-stopper, but how many businesses do you think will issue a laptop to employees when the login screen has a guest session enabled? I do not know the answer, but I do know that is one "feature" that many end users want to disable after installing Ubuntu Desktop.
- The final reason is the user interface, the desktop itself. I do not use Ubuntu, but since Unity became the graphical interface on Ubuntu Desktop, there has been an almost endless cry for Canonical to "stop this madness." But like the developers of GNOME 3, Mark Shuttleworth and Co. have forged ahead, trying to redefine the Linux desktop backwards. Unlike the default GNOME 3 interface, which looks and feels bad no mater how many times you look at it or use it, Unity looks good at a first glance, until you start using it to do serious computing. Then you find out how badly it sucks. That is my experience. Maybe, businesses have had a different take. May be CEO's have been urging their IT staff to deploy Ubuntu Desktop all over the place. Most of Europe could also be experiencing a heat wave right now. The screen shot below was taken from a new installation of Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix.
If you are interested in taking Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix out for a test drive, download an installation ISO image from here. Note: Registration is required, and only a 32-bit edition has been released.

FTW if you buy a laptop full disk encryption is in the TCI bits of the BIOS (now UHCI since yes, 2006.) Had businesses planned to give people ca. 2005 laptops, that this escaped your notice?
So, how can you not see tasks running concurrently if you mouse to Gnome3's top-left overview trigger? It's not like Fedora or EagleMode, then?
You did not say or cite how Gnome3 (r2) was dislikable, or detail the failures once 'serious computing' had been achieved (not a common use case I think; aim for a MS, get a 11th grader) with WebGL or whatever, but I'd consider this a review if you did.
Of course one also expects instaboot movie-player options, but those are -also- UHCI features drawn from a patent portfolio (still, I think) orthogonal to Microsoft's.
Contrawise, you could shorten the review to 'no iTunes/iPad executable VM, thus no adoption, QED.' At least point at the dog of the Way Forward; otherwise, it is much like whinging that hybrid LED/HID bathroom lighting takes too long to pay for itself and you already know where things are.
"Unity looks good at a first glance, until you start using it to do serious computing. Then you find out how badly it sucks."
When I worked at the phone company, the first half hour of my day was spent logging into the various computer systems I needed to access to do my work. These systems had to run concurrently.
This is supposedly a business desktop, and what do we see? No ability to see what programs are running concurrently! Doesn't anyone at Canonical actually want to run programs concurrently? How would you expect a person to work across several computer systems?
That is why people use a windows environment: so they can run programs concurrently! "Oh, you can Alt-Tab". I got RSI from doing Alt-Tab! That is an extremely bad habit, and should never be encouraged! Do you want to cripple your employees?
You can't even see when one of the programs you have concurrently running has an alert. Right now I have 3 programs running, and I can see them along the bottom edge of my screen, and one of them is the superior Pidgin Instant Messenger, and the writing is in Bold font, so it is telling me I have some new emails. Can Unity do that?
What is so difficult to understand about "the customer is always right"!!!
I save all my sensitive data in /etc, I don't know about you
1. I think the regulations state that full-disk encryption is sufficient, but not necessary. They explicitly say that non-sensitive data does not need encrypting, and it would be hard to argue that the OS itself is sensitive data. On Windows XP systems, user data can be found in many places across the filesystem, so FDE might be the only way to guarantee protection. A properly managed Linux system should keep it all in the home directory, so there is not a strict need to encrypt /usr, /etc, etc. [Yes, I'm aware that /tmp and swap ought to be protected too/]
2. I could give a good argument for keeping a guest user on a business laptop – then there is absolutely no reason for sharing the main user account for non-business purposes, children's games, etc. Think of all the stories of viruses introduced by the family.
3. I suspect businesses that don't like Unity will positively hate Windows 8 tiles! But as has been noted, there is still a choice of interfaces available.ding
4. Regarding root access – it's easy to disable root/sudo access and manage centrally, if that's what you want. Or to use the first account as a local admin if you prefer that way of working.
Oh come on. "Unlike the default GNOME 3 interface, which looks and feels bad no mater how many times you look at it or use it"
Its not for everyone, and obviously wouldn't be ideal for businesses, but I really like gnome-shell. I use it on my home laptops and its great. Smooth and polished, and features like the instant messaging integration are really well done.
You can always use a dock if you don't like having to use the overlay.
Another reason (not mentioned) is that the first user created can gain root privileges using their own password.
Spot on, esp about the lack of full disk encryption.
"Most of Europe could also be experiencing a heat wave right now."
Personal opinion: At present, KDE is the only desktop environment that I feel fits business needs.
"Ubuntu Desktop, there has been an almost endless cry for Canonical to "stop this madness."
This is there biggest problem, following the farce of the KDE "upgrade" the Linux desktop upgrade options are a joke.
We use Linux on the Desktop and I have a boss friendly to it but I can't recommend we stick with it at the moment.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2004 Iraq's Central Criminal Court tried five cases last week, all related to activities directed against the multinational force and the security of Iraq.
All five trials resulted in convictions, a Multinational Force Iraq news release reported today.
One defendant was found guilty July 26 and sentenced to six months in prison for possession of explosives and a detonation device found buried near his home Dec. 27.
The court sentenced another defendant to a year in prison July 27 for possession of illegal weapons. An informant had told multinational forces that the defendant was selling weapons. A search of his home a year ago yielded mortar rounds and tubes, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, rifles and night-vision goggles.
In a second case tried July 27, a defendant was sentenced to 30 years in prison for possession of illegal weapons found in the trunk of his car at a checkpoint in April 2003. The defendant had 16 mortar rounds, as well as fuses and explosive charges. He claimed to be taking the weapons to the police station to turn them in.
On July 28, a defendant was tried on charges related to possession of improvised explosive device-making materials, including circuit boards with batteries, resistors, alarm clocks, surge protectors and other electrical supplies. A modified circuit board of the type found in his home was found connected to an IED shortly after his apprehension, and it was noted that IED activity in the area diminished considerably after he was detained about four months ago. The court sentenced him to 18 months in prison. He was found not guilty of a charge of possessing explosives.
Through July, 37 criminal cases involving 55 defendants had been tried before the Central Criminal Court of Iraq for activities directed against the multinational force and the security of Iraq. These trials resulted in 49 insurgents being convicted, with prison sentences ranging from six months to 30 years. Convicted defendants are turned over to the Iraqi Corrections Service for imprisonment.
The court has acquitted six people in four cases over the past year, due to lack of sufficient evidence to prove their crimes, officials said.
The Central Criminal Court was established in June 2003 as an Iraqi national court. All judges, prosecutors and defense counsel are Iraqi. Its mandate involves hearing cases that threaten the security and stability of Iraq.

Animal Test
You can train like an animal with Animal Test. At least that's what is implied when you read the name of this product. The purpose of Animal Test, according to Universal Nutrition, is to give you greater strength, growth, and size by increasing testosterone levels.
The makers of Animal Test claim that their product contains androgen receptors, aromatase inhibitors, and anabolic catalysts that are proven to enhance your performance in the gym and contribute to muscle gains even after your workout.
But that's exactly what MyoRipped does so well. Can Animal Test really compete?
Let's see how powerful this anabolic supplement really is.
Recommended: Click here to see the 5 Best Testosterone Supplements of the Year
What's Inside?
Animal Test comes in packs, and there are 21 packs per order. Users are directed to take 1 pack per day, which means one order of Animal Test should last around 3 weeks. Some ingredients in Animal Test are common, while others are less well known.
3,4-Divanillyltetrahydrofuran: According to studies, this lignin has been shown to occupy SHBG receptors, increasing free testosterone levels.
Cissus Quadrangularis: One study showed that Cissus Quadrangularis can increase serum testosterone levels four-fold.
Resveratrol: This antioxidant helps to reduce oxidization and improve the effects of higher testosterone. Some studies also suggest resveratrol can act to inhibit the enzyme aromatase.
Agaricus bisporus: Studies indicate that Agaricus bisporus is an effective aromatase inhibitor.
Yohimbine: Often used to treat sexual disfunction, yohimbine has been shown to increase sex hormone levels.
Arachidonic acid: This bodybuilding ingredient has been shown to promote skeletal muscle growth.
BioPerine: Bioperine is a common ingredient in diet pills because it has been shown to increase the bioavailability of other ingredients.
It appears Universal Nutrition did their homework when creating the Animal Test blend. It contains proven ingredients that are likely to increase testosterone and give you greater performance in the gym.
Also, since Animal Test contains aromatase inhibitors, you don't have to worry about experiencing an estrogen imbalance. Too much estrogen can cause serious side-effects, but Animal Test Takes care of that.
Retail price for Animal Test breaks the century mark. You can end up paying $106 for one container of Animal Test. Other online stores sell Animal Test for as low as $65, but you are still paying much more than you would for many other testosterone boosters.
Since many retailers sell Animal Test, you probably aren't going to find a money back guarantee. Most manufacturers sell their product directly and offer a money back guarantee or trial period, but if you purchase Animal Test from a retailer and don't end up seeing results, you can't get a full refund.
Even though Animal Test contains anti-estrogen ingredients, there isn't anything on the label that reduces DHT production. Increased testosterone can also boost DHT, which leads to faster balding and other side-effects.
What We Recommend
With the high price of Animal Test, we would be cautious if we were you. Chances are you will experience an increase of testosterone and enhanced performance, but without a money back guarantee you can't actually be certain.
Many consumers claim to have greater energy in the gym after taking Animal Test, but not many experienced actual muscle gains. You might have higher testosterone and be able to lift more weights, but you probably won't see groundbreaking results.
In the end, Animal Test doesn't appear to be anything more special than half the testosterone boosters out there, but it costs much more. We would recommend finding something less expensive and more guaranteed, like MyoRipped.
Testosyn has rapidly become the #1 testosterone supplement. The powerful combination of ingredients delivers intense muscle-building, libido-boosting and fat burning results as it raises testosterone levels fast and more effectively than any other supplement available!
With the ultimate, high-performance, testosterone-boosting formula, at a great price, users love the results they're seeing with Everlasting T. There's never been a more powerful or affordable way to see every benefit that comes with increased testosterone!

So how about AirAsiaX? It will go round the same route as Tune Insurance, i.e. open weak around RM1.35-1.40 (this was my original estimate when the touted IPO was around RM1.35, that range would be moved lower 8-10 sen based on the final IPO price) and stay around IPO price for a few weeks and then move to my year end fair value of RM1.70-1.80.
I call it the Tony Fernandes effect. While most people may not like his personality ... calling him brash, entitled, too in your face ... most will still acknowledge that he is a very good entrepreneur and business person. That also sums up my personal view of Tony.
The TF effect also has it that many critics (analysts and reporters) like to cut him down to size. Hence it is very unlikely that TF will get favourable press. Of course many will say AirAsiaX is a tough business, its not budget airlines you know, its over crowded, its cyclical, blah blah ... For all... please refer back to what you said about Tune Insurance, then talk to me.
The TF effect also has the rest of the world always thinking TF and AirAsia are always dreaming up of new companies to list and churn and make money for themselves. While that has some truth in it, it is also fair to say that TF is making use of the capital markets wisely. Tap it to enrich stakeholders and using other people's money to grow the company. Nothing sinister in that.
Its very hard for TF to get respect. Some might even say there is racial undertones involved. Whatever it is, check your biases. To me, its already very very difficult to have the lowest cost per mile as a budget airline. I think its so much easier to replicate that for long haul. There is still too much fat in long haul airline industry.
To me, Tune Insurance is more attractive than AirAsiaX, but even so, I think it will prove to be a good investment if you hold at least 6 months-1 year. Before your bitching even ends, get your socks ready for Tune Hotels, just to grate you guys even more. That I think will be the most attractive of all.

The Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank is a location that appears in the episode "Safe Deposit Krabs," and it serves as the main setting for that episode.
The outside of the Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank greatly resembles a giant crate that is white in color. It also has doors and a sign that says "Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank" at the top.
The inside of the Bank resembles any other bank. There are four places where the customers can go and withdraw or deposit their money.
The Bank also contains a large vault, a safe deposit box room, and an elaborate drain system which links to a Bikini Bottomite's house.
The Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank was first announced by Johnny Erain when he said that the Mayor was talking about the grand opening. The Mayor then told that the first 100 customers joins the Bank will receive "instant interest" much to Mr. Krabs' delight. However, when trying to get into the safe, Mr. Krabs ended up getting trapped in the Bank overnight. SpongeBob and Patrick attempted to break into the Bank with no success but, eventually, Mr. Krabs was later released the next day.

With his full-beard rugged look, soiled whites and strapped elbow, Liam Plunkett looked every bit a war hero as he acknowledged the royal reception from the stands. He waved and clapped as he walked down the famous Lord's slope to take his position at the fine-leg fence. He had just bowled what could be the most-significant 6 balls of the series and the capacity crowd was letting him know that.
By dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli, in successive balls, Plunkett had damaged the L3 and L4 of the Indian spine. With Ajinkya Rahane, too, getting out cheaply, India would finish at 169/4. And the visitors had conceded a 24-run lead in the first innings, they were actually 145 with 6 wickets in hand.
India was much more comfortably placed when Plunkett had started 'the' over of the day, which was 44th of the innings. They were 123/1 with Pujara on 43 and Vijay on 37. The two batsmen, who famously get along when on 22 yards, seemed set for a big Lord's partnership.
The final session was just 15 overs old but the solidity of the Indian batsmen was such that you thought that Vijay and Pujara would walk to the pavilion at stumps, unconquered. In the clear blue sky, the harsh sun would hide briefly behind the few stray clouds that would pass over London. Even the weather looked predictable as a lazy afternoon seemed on cards.
That's until Pujara made the first wrong decision of the day. Or was it indecision? Before his false stroke, he had played a perfect innings. To James Anderson's frustration, Pujara knew where his off-stump was. Forget that, he even knew how tall it was. Showing precise judgement against England's sharpest bowler Anderson, who bowled a probing off-stump line, the India No.3 would get his head over the ball to play the ones he had to. While the ones that were wider or higher were left alone.
There were also those delivers that came swinging in towards the middle stump but sneaked towards the slips at the last minute.
Even those couldn't catch Pujara's fancy or the edge of his bat. He seemed to have passed the Anderson test of patience.
After negotiating Anderson's 14-6-26-0, Pujara and Vijay got to face Stuart Broad and Plunkett, the pair that hasn't really bothered the Indians. After the long period of vigil, the Indian batsmen might have seen this as a window of opportunity to score some quick runs.
So when Plunkett bowled a ball that was slightly outside off, Pujara first reached for it and at the last micro second he pulled …continued »

The nurse CHAI CHUEN (Michelle Yim) is the eldest of the three Chai siblings. Her sister, CHAI SUM (Annie Liu), and brother, CHAI CHEUNG (Kwok Chun On), are doctors specializing as gynecologist and pediatrician respectively. CHUEN's husband, KOT YAT-TO (Paul Chun), is also a doctor. Together, the four run a clinic whose business every clinic wants. CHUEN and SUM have very different ways of handling people and things. This not only makes people around them confused as to whose suggestion to follow, but also results in rounds after rounds of hilarious episodes. Although CHUEN is the head of the family, it is SUM people in the clinic listen to when professional advice is required. CHEUNG is constantly caught between his two sisters, who go as far as meddling in his love affairs! CHEUNG is determined to run after the clinic's new nurse, LUI YING-HUNG (Bernice Liu), no matter what his sisters say and not for a moment expecting that this will turn his life upside down. Later, he is arrested. When he realizes HUNG is indeed an undercover cop trying to gather information regarding a drug dealer case, the clinic is about to close down and no one if there is a turning point.

press release
The IFP Youth Brigade supports the initiative of the Department of Social Development to hold a National Youth Camp for five days, starting on Sunday, in De Brug outside Bloemfontein.
IFPYB National Chairperson, the Hon. Mkhuleko Hlengwa said, "This is a good initiative by the Department. It needs to be supported by everyone in our country. It is commendable that the Department decided to start such a project to educate and create debate among our youth about various issues that concern them. The youth of our country should take advantage of projects like the National Youth Camp."
"The youth of our country needs venues like this to interact, debate and come up with solutions that they can advise Government to use in order to tackle various issues faced by South Africa's youth. Alcohol abuse, unwanted pregnancy, unprotected sex, school drop-out and unemployment are some of those issues," said Hlengwa.
Hlengwa continued, "We hope this year's theme, 'Together in Diversity', will result in the youth emerging from this camp informed and open-minded about the diversity of our country and how we should be united as South Africans from different backgrounds.
We also hope that youth from different backgrounds will recognize that they are all affected by the same issues. The IFP Youth Brigade waits expectantly to see the positive results of this National Youth Camp."
The IFPYB encourages all those who are going to take part in this camp to be brave enough to point out where Government is failing the youth of this country and to freely express their ideas on how these issues can be resolved. We wish our youth all the best for a lively discussion.

San Diegans challenge their bodies, lives through unique boot camp
Braveheart Boot Camp Challenge is 1st of its kind
SAN DIEGO - A unique boot camp is helping a diverse group of San Diegans push their bodies and minds to the limit.
The Braveheart Boot Camp Challenge is the first of its kind in San Diego. Young adults were asked to write an essay about why they wanted to attend the camp. Seven were selected to receive roughly $5,000 in free gear from sponsors such as Oakley, Sony, On Running, Scott Bikes and Power Bar as well as training from world champion triathlete Lesley Paterson.
"They're from a variety of backgrounds and challenges … financial, social," said Paterson, who said she wanted to give back to the sport and her community.
Theo Tucker, 20, was preparing for a promising college football career when he was stabbed four times in his own home.
"Defending my family, I wound up getting hurt but no one else did," said Tucker.
His career was derailed. He hopes to get back on track at the camp.
Paterson said the participants get world-class training in bike riding, swimming and running. The boot camp will teach them to push their bodies to the edge.
"And life in general," added Paterson. "If we're not pushing those boundaries, we're not truly developing as people."
This is the first Braveheart Boot Camp Challenge. Paterson said she hopes to host one every year in San Diego.

Saturday 10.05.2008:
After we had breakfast at 08:00 we started on our first group tour shortly after 09:00. Unfortunately Sylvia could not join us, on the trip there she had a small accident that affected her lower leg (she couldnt ride her own bike until Monday on the way back). Into the heart of the Dolomites was on the agenda today and we headed out on the main road towards Cavalese. Andrea took the warning of the guest house hostess about police controls too literally and stuck exactly to the speed limits, so we drove very leisurely all the way to our first gas stop at Predazzo. After a short discussion we picked up the pace and headed towards Passo di Valles (2033 m). After the turn off to this pass I drove at a brisk pace and was amazed that Andrea was almost stuck to the back of my bike. The Deauville was very quickly and safely spirited up the mountain by Andrea - well done!
The others made it up this magnificent road bit by bit and then we proceeded towards Passo Giau (2236 m). At first the road through Falcabe took us down to Cencenighe. Then we headed through Alleghe and we followed the signs to Selva di Cadire and Passo Giau. Once on top we decided on a coffee break. A few Alpenbikers were missing though, because we didnt wait for them at the bottom of the pass. But eventually they reached the summit and for the rest of the tour we always waited for the last person!

Study of photosynthesis clears the path to developing new super-cropsOctober 17, 2013 1:28 pm | News | Comments
Around 3% of all plants use an advanced form of photosynthesis, which allows them to capture more carbon dioxide, use less water, and grow more rapidly. This phenomenon had been a mystery, but researchers have used a mathematical analysis to uncover a number of tiny changes in the plants' physiology that allow them to grow more quickly, using a third as much water as other plants and capturing around 13 times more carbon dioxide.
Without plants, Earth would cook under billions of tons of additional carbonOctober 16, 2013 2:19 pm | by Morgan Kelly, Princeton Univ. | News | Comments

Scientists develop model of "near-optimal" genetic codeAugust 28, 2013 2:54 pm | News | Comments
Since the genetic code's discovery in the 1960s, researchers have wondered: How is it that a near-optimal code became so universal? To address this question, the researchers created a model of genetic code evolution in which multiple "translating" RNAs and "genomic" RNAs competed for survival. The approach revealed phenomena that offers new insights into how RNA signaling likely developed into the modern genetic code.

Computer models are used to inform policy decisions about energy, but existing models are generally "black boxes" that don't show how they work, making it impossible for anyone to replicate their findings. Researchers from North Carolina State Univ. have developed a new open-source model and are sharing the data they put into it, to allow anyone to check their work.
How quickly can a bacterium grow?August 27, 2013 8:02 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
All living things must obey the laws of physics, including the second law of thermodynamics. Highly ordered cells and organisms appear to contradict this principle, but they actually do conform because they generate heat that increases the universe's overall entropy. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist mathematically modeled the replication of E. coli bacteria and found that the process is nearly as efficient as possible.

Albatroz Engineering specializes in robotics, aeronautics, signal processing and computer science applied to the analysis of power line grids and 3D modeling with LiDAR.
It is team of 21 persons based in Lisbon, Portugal.

When transmission and distribution utilities achieve the highest standards in quality of service, measured in SAIFI, SAIDI or Equivalent Interruption Duration (or Time), the number of events due to asset condition is superseded by events coming from the environment, which should be regarded in a broad sense.
This is Albatroz Engineering's approach, mirrored on its first application for LiDAR based vegetation management, a key component of Power Line Maintenance Inspection.
Soon afterwards, the focus turned to storks who happen to be very fond of high voltage towers, and telephone poles too. Storks add significant challenges that stimulate some original, if not odd, solutions to reach satisfactory coexistence between birds and power lines.
Bushfires (=wildfires), pollution and lightning add further to the complexity of the analysis of the grid condition and to the requirements of power line inspections.
Environmental challenges are the subject of publications on vegetation at CMDM2013 (Romenia), on computer vision for stork nests at ConfeTELE 2013 (Portugal), on risk assessment at CIGRE2012 Canada and EEEIC 2012 (Italy), just to mention the more recent.
Such environmental concerns shape the activitiy of the company altogether, as stated.
One of the most valuable results of Power Line Maintenance Inspection is the ability to pinpoint exactly the location of each clearance violation, including in real-time during inspection flights, if required. LiDAR helps measure distances to nearby objects and signal processing performs real-time classification of objects.
This feature helps maintenance teams streamline their work and head directly to the tree, knowing how much to trim: the example shows a 2,33m distance when 5m was specified. The nature of the tree can be inspected from the video image (acquired at the same location as the above LiDAR based image). This capability is important to forecast tree growth rates.
Vegetation management teams involved in preventive maintenance aggregate sets clearance issues according to severity and distance to neighbours to create effective routines.
The Airborne Sweeping Laser Measurement System [ASLMS] is a compact hardware system to be mounted on helicopters for power line clearance inspection (= right of way inspection) and 3D modeling of outdoor environments.
It includes LiDAR, GPS, Attitude Heading and Reference System [AHRS] and video camera. It has been designed in three different variants (2007, 2009 and 2011), depending on aircraft used and integration with the clients' hardware.
Learn more about the ASLMS product range.
The same set of sensors can be adapted to other vectors, namely ground vehicles or unmanned aerial vehicles [UAV] to fit particular operation requirements.
The goal of Project CHAPLIN is to use Long Range Ultrasound Testing to detect hidden defects inside conductor cables on over-head lines. The project is sponsored by the 7th Framework Program of the European Union.

Kickstarter's $4.8 Mil Project: Pebble—A Watch Companion for iPhone and Android
Reaching $1 million in 28 hours, Pebble was sure to break some records over at Kickstarter. It seems pertinent to mention that the project's initial goal was $100,000—ten-times less than their first day of funding attracted.
Now, in just one week they've reached $4.8 million in pledges with the number continually climbing upon each page refresh—there's an excellent chance that the project may actually reach $5 mil before the end of the day. What watch could cause such a stir? Pebble uses an iPhone or Android phone as a launch point. The customizable, E-paper watch tethers to the smart phone using apps for functionality.
Pebble connects to your phone using Bluetooth, alerting you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails and messages. The Pebble design team "strove to create a minimalist yet fashionable product that seamlessly blends into everyday life."
Starting simply, the owner to change the watchface at will, selecting from available downloadable watchfaces or by designing a custom face using the developer kit. The e-paper / backlight combo guarantees that the clean and simple interface will be visible no matter the conditions.
Diving deeper into function, the apps for Pebble can transform it into a running, golfing and cycling tracker and can display Incoming Caller ID, Email (Gmail or any IMAP email account), Calendar Alerts, Facebook Messages, Tweets, Weather Alerts and initiate a silent vibrating alarm and timer. Not enough for you, super geek? You can customize your data flow using developer tools to generate push notifications, track your transportation, and a plethora of other tasks to satisfy your techy needs.
We're excited to see how much more of a following Pebble can gather in its last month on Kickstarter.
