Alright. Woo-hoo. We're partying now. With the kind of enthusiasm normally reserved for sorting Phillips head screws from flat head screws, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer publicly vetoed SB 1062, legislation that would provide legal cover to businesses denying services based on the operator's religious beliefs. The return of Jim Crow with a cactus beat.
They're off and running for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination -- and as they run you can see the elephants' different styles.
Someone better send John Kerry a high school geography textbook.
Just as Jesus Christ caught the attention of friends and foes alike, the "Son of God" movie (debuting in theaters February 28) has something to pique the interest of people from all walks of life.
God bless America, and how's everybody?
It says here that Jeb Bush has the best shot at the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, while Hillary Clinton might not be the Democrats' candidate - and if she is, she's no sure thing.
We must stop them.
Hide your wallets and shield the children, because they're voting down in Texas. Texas Republicans will be testing the strength of the Tea Party as they pick their first post-Rick Perry slate of statewide candidates since the 1980s. But Texas Democrats might end up missing Perry, as there is a decent shot that Republicans will nominate not their best-qualified, most-electable candidates but an entire clown car full of crazypants.
Hollywood and Washington: Both entertaining, often boring and far too often irresponsible.
For all those who have spent the last couple of months shoveling out a car, you should know we're at the tail end of awards season. And best be advised to hunker in a bunker wearing a Kevlar overcoat, because gold plated statues are being tossed about like air kisses at a gown fitting. Like clouds of bathroom hair spray during Oscar nominee luncheons. Like jaded eyes at a press screening of "Transformers 4."
Is Bill Clinton still president?
Is the United States inevitably on the path to Hillaryland?
According to the Los Angeles Times, California state Senator Bill Monning on February 13 introduced a controversial bill that could make California the first state in the nation to require prominent health warnings (about obesity, diabetes and tooth decay) on sugary drinks.
Let's keep it together, people.

There is a big problem with the prevailing liberal narrative that the phrase describing subsidy eligibility in Obamacare, "established by the state," could not possibly mean what it says. The problem is named Jonathan Gruber.
Political correctness is a contradiction of reality and distortion of morality that necessitates relentless government intervention devised by those who seek to control our lives. These self-appointed "Speech Sheriffs" warn us that words spoken outside the imaginary perimeters they've set are judgmental, negative, racist or intolerant.
Boy, was I dumb to pay back my college loans.
Nebraska's legislature recently made headlines when it ended the state's death penalty. Many found it odd that a conservatives-dominated legislature would support ending capital punishment, since conservative politicians have traditionally supported the death penalty. However, an increasing number of conservatives are realizing that the death penalty is inconsistent with both fiscal and social conservatism. These conservatives are joining with libertarians and liberals in a growing anti-death penalty coalition.
Craig Ranch North Community Pool in McKinney, Texas was not a "whites only" pool, but it might as well have been. Before Eric Casebolt shoved a black girl's face into the ground and pulled a gun on her two unarmed friends, white neighborhood residents at the pool assumed that all those black teenagers were in the wrong place. They didn't see the invited guests of a black neighbor getting a little rowdy at an end-of-school pool party. They saw black people who didn't belong in the mostly white neighborhood.
Rich people with too much time and money on their hands often seem to get bored with the hum and drum of their gold-filigreed existences. In response they turn to egalitarian enterprises, such as feudal kings commissioning alchemists to turn base metals into gold, because a lot of stuff back then needed to be filigreed.
You don't need to check a screen to know how much time we're spending with them. Besides, surveys keep reminding us: total screen time for adult Americans is now just under 10 hours per day - roughly half in front of what we still call a "television," the rest spent with computers and mobile devices.
When we last visited the sorry state of Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback - a former short-lived GOP presidential candidate - was showing us what happens when a right-wing ideologue tries to impose his utopian fantasies on the real world. Predictably, the result has been disastrous.

Kids of all ages will enjoy this free museum. You can get in almost all of the engines and cars; very hands on. I personally loved the memorabelia collected through the years. They even have two switching rooms set up, a true rarity as most were trashed many years ago.
It's run by a bunch of nice old retired railroad fellows for the most part. They have a wealth of knowledge about the trains that have passed through this area.
Finally, don't miss this attraction if you love trains.... and who doesn't? Really.
If you own or manage Arkansas Railroad Museum, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers.

Local campaigners fear they have just over a year to save Navans emergency department following a clear indication from senior HSE management two weeks ago that the facility will be relocated to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda next year

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown (DLR) is facing a housing crisis. As international financial vulture funds descend on Dublin and are forcing up the property prices again as they seek to get a return on their billions because bank interest rates are so low, this has resulted in rents rising where they are now highest in the country. The result has been that now thousands of families are unable to afford the rents as they are being forced up by landlords. In DLR there are over 4,000 families on the housing waiting list. The national figure is 90,000.
An emergency protest for housing is taking place outside outside the Town Hall while the council have a housing meeting. ... read full story / add a comment

However, the authors write that the importance of our peatlands for the climate is not correctly acknowledged by the draft Strategy.

Not unexpectedly Martin Callinan was forced to stand down as head of the Gardai on 25th March 2014. Throughout 2013 I have written a number of articles concerning malpractices within the Garda organisation and particularly the questionable management style of (former) Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan. While Callinan was eventually forced from office, the mess created during his term will take years to cleanse, indeed if ever. That will only happen when there is accountability. Amongst the outstanding bad practice issues are multiple claims of Gardai mishandling of a number of serious cases involving abduction, assault and murder that are being presently looked at by a Senior Barrister and now we are told that people have been maliciously prosecuted previously, it is frightening. However, if former Garda Wilson or others are in possession of such detail he must divulge it to the relevant authority.

She explained "One by one, many of the working class quarters have been invaded by the middle class - upper and lower ...

GCC leads the retail boom
Grand malls, vibrant shopping festivals, bargain shopping fairs, international supermarkets and traditional souks. These consumer playgrounds are synonymous with the capitals of the GCC, culturally and economically, and have produced a retail sector that's growing faster than any other market in the MENA region.
It is expected that the Middle East retail industry will reach $682 billion by 2013, growing at a compound annual rate of around 13 percent during 2009- 2013, according to a report by research firm rncos. The total current value of the retail sector in the Middle east is around $425 billion.
According to the report, the GCC is witnessing many positive trends in consumer demand, a continuing growth in tourism, regional coordination and market access. the factors strengthening the region's retail industry include changing market dynamics, rapid economic development, higher crude oil prices, and strong consumer confidence.
"There are initiatives that have helped the industry. helping, supporting and developing the real estate infrastructure are all initiatives by the government - their proactive investments - which have helped develop the sector," says Mohammed al Fahim, chief executive of luxury department store chain, the Paris Gallery, which has over 80 stores in the region.
The report by rncos identified KSA and the UAE as the regional retail markets with most potential and dynamism, as they have sustained their dominance in the retail landscape for over a decade and will continue to do so in coming years.
"We will see retail becoming more organised in coming years and also expect it to grow by 15-18 percent. We can definitely see a standardisation of market as well," says Manu Jeswani, the CEO of Shoe Mart (Landmark Group), which has 110 stores across the GCC.
"The great infrastructure put in place in many GCC countries is a major force driving the retail boom, because investment in service areas, airports, entertainment, hotels, restaurants, communications and transport helped tourism to grow in the region," Jeswani added.
"In the past, even if tourists wanted to come they couldn't because of a lack of facilities," he explains. "Extreme weather and a vibrant consumer culture based on populations with high disposable incomes drive retail and push more brands to invest in the region."
While economies such as Kuwait's slumped during the economic downturn, others, such as Qatar, thrived due to high demand for its gas.
David Catania, chief executive of PTL, says he has noticed four specific trends in the GCC retail sector over the past six months: business intelligence - which comes from a desire to be more scientific in terms of the way retailers analyse their information; vertical growth - the retail sector is being organised; GCC expansion - even companies that aren't big are looking to have an operation in KSA, Kuwait or Qatar as part of their strategy; government support for SMEs - a healthy vision and regulatory framework by GCC governments, particularly the UAE, is leading them to stimulate SME growth.
"There's a growth mindset across the industry," he says. "It's good for other GCC countries to emulate what the UAE is doing."

General Teamxecuter & (x3) News
Posted 06 September 2004 - 08:26 AM
>> From teamxecuter.com:
* As we have now finished the X3 design we move onto our own custom made LCD designs. Due to our enormous manufacturing capabilities we have expanded our investment into the LCD market and are now able to custom make an LCD screen to perfect "fitted-to-xbox" specifications.
As a test run we designed the PCB to simply include our own custom made adapter which will make the LCD screen absolutley solder free. Here is a picture of the first version - of course the final will be absolutley different - this was for factory setup purposes only and to see that everything worked correctly - which it did first time. Watch this space for more "XLCD" news :-)
* As promised here is the source code of Xecuter FlashBIOS(info) v2.6.0
For those that dont know its basically a modified Cromwell(info) bios purley for flashing your mod in a legal linux enviroment.
Includes v1.6 Xcalibur Video Support and ability to flash the Xecuter 2.x (01 d5). Sources based on latest Cromwell 2.3.2.
Thanks to Xbox Linux Team and other friends for their input.

>> From Team Xecuter (on forums): http://www.teamxecut...=...wforum&f=46
* When will X3 be released?
Our original planned date was August 23rd however we came across a hardware bug when porting our cpld code to a more secure device.
Everything is now complete and finished. Production has started and we hope to have X3 on the shelves before the end of September.
We apologise for any delays but there is no point in releasing the mod half assed after all the effort / testing / development time that has been put into this.
Thank you for your patience.
* What is supplied with X3? (RRP price of around $59 USD)
- X3 Modchip
- External Switch (Facia Change Design)
- Solderless adapter for reset / eject and future IR addon
- New wires to pin header adapter (EVERYONE will now have a pin header even if they solder with wires) :-)
- Pin Header (With pin 4 and pin 16 removed - you must manually remove 5v (pin 6) if installing to a v1.6) - Now impossible to plug mod onto pin header the wrong way around due to the header Block on the X3 having one of the pins blocked)
- Sticky pad to fix to the side of the Xbox case if using wires to pin header adapter
* X3 Optional Extras?
- XLCD Screen (Solderless)
- X3 Switch Pro
- Switch Facias (Different colors / logos)
- X3 Xapter (Solderless Adapter for v1.0 - v1.5)
- Other projects not yet announced
*UPDATE* We also got a picture of the latest X3 with the actel chip:

Xecuter 3
Production started last week. We are on schedule to release before the end of the month.
All IC's have now been programmed and prepped. This week involves PCB assembly, plastic moulding production, IC printing and quality assurance.
We take our production and quality process very very seriousley. To give you an idea of what is involved in this process we took some pictures of the factory:
The X3 Bios has been going through some final adjustments. We are now up to Build 1729. To give you an idea of how many changes we have made since our official beta program, the last bios tested publicly was Build 1463 Smile
Here are some latest entries from our changelog
* lcd backlight setting now configurable
* tweaked lcd output a little bit
* lcd welcome message (default: "www.teamxecuter.com") is now changeable
* colorized new flubber/xlogo code
* added several new flubber/xlogo toggles
* fixed bug with temp. display on 1.6 when displaying messageboxes in x3 config live
* now supporting nghtshd's partitioning tool - successfully tested, partitioning has to be enabled in x3 config live to make it use a saved partition (new option located under disk tools / new hdd upgrade)
We have given our Cromwell(info) based Xecuter FlashBIOS(info) a few tweaks in the last week too. Added a full webserver (DHCP and Static) so you can now flash your X2 or X3 over a network. Currently adding FTP and some other goodies.
Quote: "they [xecuter] are lying about adding webserver to cromwell. cromwell isnt multitasking.. its too hard for them.. it took me 4 months" - Franz
I guess it took us about 5 days in between other X2.6 and X3 work.
Download latest build here.
SO much work involved at the moment - but we're getting there. Thanks for your patience.

The full package: X2.6L modchip, external adapter, headerpin, wire-to-headerpin-adapter, wire to link external adapter with modchip, D0/E/P wire adapter, 5V v1.6 wire adapter, adhesive sticker.
The X2.6L modchip and the external adapter. The external adaptor has a status LED and switches for: bank selection, enable/disable flash protection, chip enable/disable, LED enable/disable. The modchip has a separated pin (front) and solderpad (back) for 5v on Xbox v1.6. The headerpin is 2x8 (like X3 will have, not like older X2.x or other modchips)

We are proud to announce the first public build of the long anticipated X3 Bios. Not only is X3 very powerful - its also a lot of fun to use. Those who like toying with their bios will absolutely love using X3 Config Live.
We won't be making any bold statements like X3 will revolutionize the Xbox scene, but we will say this mod is of the highest build quality, has undergone the most extensive development and beta testing of any Xbox mod to date and of everything we've ever done in the scene is the best work we have ever done. Everyone who has tested the mod tells the same story - that its not only easy to use, fun to play with but also the best Xbox modchip experience they have ever had with every option you would ever need (All X3 Beta testers also tested competitors mods to give a fair assessment of quality difference).
There is so much more we are going to add to the bios in future - as we have always done for you in the past, not to mention the expansive windows based software that is also being developed to make your mod experience even better.
We are also developing many quality hardware addons, all with our famous quality and design procedures direct from our factory in Asia. We have already shown you the "Pro" switch design for X3 which will be shipped shortly. However due to our extensive manufacturing capabilities we have also designed a complete replacemnt front panel for the Xbox dubbed the "X3 Control Panel". Includes a customized LCD screen, all switches, LED's and Infra Red control - all built into a redesigned Xbox front panel which simply unclips from the Xbox. The X3 CP is entirely plug and play - no soldering at all is required. See pictures below for our original 3D drawings - expect it to be on shelves shortly too.
We have worked so hard on the quality of X3 in the last few months - we sincerely hope that you enjoy our efforts. Here is the list of current features. You will be playing with this within the next week - look out for many testers own experiences over the next couple of days - they will be received by many many testers and competition winners over the next couple of days.

As a continuation of our development we are pleased to reveal our next product the no solder adapter for X3 - the XAPT3R.
As you can see its a completely new design unlike any other no solder adapter on the market.
Using state of the art clear compound and mould injection process we have been able to create the most advanced no solder adapter to date.
The XAPT3R will be backwards compatible with the X2.6 and will work perfectly on all v1.0 - v1.5 models of Xbox.
Here are some pictures to give you a glimpse of our progress.

The First "real" production model of the X3 Control Panel was delivered this week - you may have seen exclusive pictures on Xbox-Scene.com. Some tweaks are being made (adding USB ports and cleaning up any color/material matching issues) - Of course there will also be the clear crystal and green crystal versions too.
We're working hard on some fresh tutorials on X2.6 and X3 - still making some tweaks - here is a rough draft of the X3 v1.0 - v1.5 Pin Header Tutorial http://www.teamxecut...s/x3pin1015.htm

First of all thank you to everyone who has given their input into the final tweaks needed to the X3 Bios for Gold Release.
The main bug was with HDTV Video Modes - this seems to have all been solved now, we have even managed to have the startup flubber and animation output in 480p Smile
We have found the bug with Outrun2 and 007:AUF not booting direct from disc - there seems to be a memory leak in our DirectX code - this is being solved as we speak. In the meantime if you have this issue simply disable the X3 Flubber back to the Xbox default flubber.
There is also a small bug with saved games files on a v1.6 - this is being investigated.
There are a few other minor FTP bugs which are being fixed also - nothing too serious.
All in all everything is being nailed so the next Bios release should be pretty much there. Then we will start on adding our next batch of features planned for Christmas.
Once we go Gold we will release a comprehensive manual for every feature of X3 Config Live. If you have any other bug reports please post them to our X3 Bugs Section on the forums - thanks.

Acrongenomics one step closer to finalizing its Nano-JETA(TM) technology platform
Acrongenomics Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its Nano-JETA(TM) Real Time PCR Pilot kits for DNA/RNA quantification with the use of beta-globin and Ep-CAM gene, respectively.
The results obtained from previous validation and comparative studies bring Acrongenomics one step closer to finalizing its Nano-JETA(TM) technology platform by introducing its first Real Time PCR prototype kits. The kits apply to scientific professionals for demonstration purposes only in order for the company to obtain scientific feedback that will enhance the product's usability and will establish the Nano-JETA(TM) platform.
The DNA/RNA quantification with the Nano-JETA(TM) technology platform is based on Acrongenomics' new mathematical model. Furthermore, Nano-JETA(TM) Real Time PCR delivers rapid quantitative detection of nucleic acids from the 2nd cycle up to the 13th cycle.
Any Real Time PCR thermocycler with specifications to transmit fluorescence data according to Acrongenomics' mathematical model is now able to quantify DNA/RNA copies at any point between the 2nd and 13th cycle.
The pilot kits allow for 24 tests to be performed. Furthermore, the kits contain:
Since last year, the Nano-JETA(TM) technology platform by Acrongenomics Inc. has redefined key IVD molecular applications such as PCR, ELISA and Real Time PCR giving them super fast characteristics with up to 100% specificity and sensitivity.
Currently, Acrongenomics is working towards the enrichment of its portfolio with prototype kits for detection and quantification of additional tumor markers expression such as the HER family and vEGF, as well as for viral quantification with markers such as EBV, HBV and HPV.
Molecular diagnostics testing is the fastest-growing segment of the in vitro diagnostics industry. The last four years, clinical market for molecular diagnostic products has increased from $1 billion in 2000 to $2.8 billion in 2004 and sales are expected to exceed $5 billion by 2008 (Biotechnology Associates). More interestingly, D & MD's nanobiotechnology briefing states that the overall market impact of nanobiotech applications is projected to reach $300 billion US by 2020.

We are happy to announce that based on input from our staff and feedback from our users, restricted access to Randall Library will start at 10 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. beginning with the Spring 2013 semester!
Access to the library between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. will still be restricted to UNCW students, faculty and staff only. A valid UNCW One Card ID is required of anyone in the building after 10 p.m.
This change in policy positions us to better support visitors who choose to attend our cultural activities and other evening events; Cape Fear Community College students; and distance education students from our sister UNC schools who often collaborate in groups with UNCW students, while still sending a message that we are serious about maintaining security of the library.
In preparation for this change, we have coordinated the security guard presence in the building and have, this past semester, created and filled the position of Evening and Weekend Supervisor which will allow us to systematically and creatively approach assessment of our evening usage.
Visit our Hours page for complete Spring 2013 hours information.

Five children claim that they were forced to watch pornographic videos, enact the sexual acts performed in them and eat excrement at a boarding school in India. Both the owner and manager of the children's boarding school in western India have been arrested as police being their investigation.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: India, excreta, rape, pornography, boarding school
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 52-year-old male owner of the Chandraprabha Charitable Trust along with his 30-year-old female manager were arrested on this week after a police raid on the school in Karjat city in Maharashtra state.
"We received a police complaint from the Childline charity saying that one child had gone home for the holidays and confessed to his mother that abuses were happening," Karjat's Police Inspector R.R. Patil says.
Starvation never takes a vacation --
"Five children in total have now come forward, and we have booked the two suspects under various offences," including unnatural sex (sodomy), wrongful confinement and sexual assault, he said.
The boarding school accommodated 28 underprivileged children, 4 to 14 years old, for ten months out of the year. Most of the children were home on holiday at the time of the raid.
Police are now trying to find out if other children who attended the school were abused in the same manner.
Childline's Anuradha Sahasrabudhe said the children had spoken about all kinds of sexual and physical abuse.
"It's a horrific case. The children have been telling us about the sexual abuse going on there. There has been oral sex, there has been forced sex where minor boys have been asked to rape minor girls. These things have been photographed," Saharasabudhe told TV reporters.
"Children have been punished by making them eat dog excreta and when they vomited, they were made to eat vomit."
Police say the boarding school had been in operation since 2002. However, the school was not registered and had therefore escaped government inspections by child welfare officials.
Child sexual abuse is disturbingly common in homes, schools, and residential care facilities in India.
Inspections for children's homes, shelters, ashrams and boarding schools are inadequate and many privately-run facilities are not even registered, according to a February 2013 report by Human Rights Watch.
The Indian government has neither a record of all the orphanages and other institutions operating in the country, nor a list of the children they are housing.

Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: 16 servings
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tbsp. finely grated lemon peel
- 0.25 c. fresh lemon juice
- 0.50 c. fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice
- 4 tsp. cornstarch
- 6 tbsp. butter or margarine
- 0.50 c. granulated sugar

"Colleagues, the mayor's veto is overturned."
So said Board President David Chiu, as the Board of Supervisors overturned Mayor Gavin Newsom's February 6 veto of legislation that former Board President Aaron Peskin introduced as his going away gift to San Francisco voters--a gift that involved declaring a fiscal emergency so that a June 2 special election would be possible.
Overturning Newsom's veto allows the Board to keep this June 2 special election on the table. And they still have until March 3 before they need to decide whether to pull the plug on that plan. Read more »
"The man. The myth. The legend."
That's how Board President Aaron Peskin introduced Sup. Tom Ammiano, as he bid farewell to the longest serving member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at today's Board meeting.
Headed to Sacramento to serve in the State Assembly, Ammiano has a 14-year record as SF supervisor that simply can't be beat now that 8-year term limits have been introduced at the Board. Read more »

While most mortgage applicants know a good credit score is a key element for a loan approval, not everyone realizes raising your credit score by even a few points can make the difference between qualifying for a mortgage or not. In addition, if you are applying for a conventional mortgage rather than an FHA-insured home loan, you can pay a lower interest rate if you are able to boost your credit score into the next level.
"A borrower with a credit score of 702 will pay a one-fourth-percent higher interest rate than someone with a credit score of 720, even though those are both good credit scores," said Scott Davis, branch manager of Homestead Funding in Fairfax.
Mortgage applicants with severe credit challenges may need six months to a year or longer to improve their credit score, but those who are looking for a smaller boost can work with a lender and take steps for a faster score increase.
Mr. Davis said all consumers should check their credit score with all three reporting bureaus a minimum of three months before applying for a loan, although checking 12 to 24 months before applying would be better.
"One thing many consumers don't understand is that the credit score you see as a consumer is different from the one an auto dealership sees if you are applying for a car loan, and both are different from the score a mortgage lender sees," Mr. Davis said. "Each one is weighed differently. For example, the credit-score model I see weighs housing payment history more heavily than other factors."
In spite of the varied credit scores, consumers should check their credit report and credit score at least annually to look for errors and address any negative information.
"A lender can work with a borrower to figure out what they can do that will have the fastest impact on their credit score," said Marv Stanger, a senior loan officer with George Mason Mortgage in Reston. "The impact depends on your individual credit report. Some people have a perfect payment record but a lot of debt, while others have collections that need to be dealt with."
Some of the steps that can be taken to improve your credit score may seem counterintuitive, such as keeping accounts open if you don't intend to use them, Mr. Davis said.
"While it may make sense from a financial point of view to close two older credit card accounts and keep two new ones with lower interest rates, closing a credit card account will automatically lower your credit score," Mr. Davis said.
Paul Defngin, a senior mortgage banker with Apex Home Loans in Rockville, said that while there are certain rules to follow to improve your credit score, some situations can be tricky to navigate.
"If you have a small collection account, such as a medical bill you didn't know about from a few years ago, your instinct might be to pay it off," Mr. Defngin said. "The problem is, paying it off will make it look like a recent credit problem and will lower your score. It's better to leave it there and then take care of it after your loan has closed."
Mr. Stanger said his personal guideline is that if the only derogatory information on a credit report is more than two years old and he can qualify the borrower without fixing it, he leaves it alone until the mortgage loan has closed.
Mr. Defngin said borrowers with credit card debt should keep their balance on each card to 25 percent of the credit limit, but other lenders say 30 percent is acceptable.
"If you can pay down a credit card to under 30 percent of the limit or at least redistribute your debt by transferring a balance from one account to another so that each balance is less than 30 percent of the limit, you can improve your credit score by 20 or sometimes even 40 points," Mr. Stanger said. "Of course, that depends on what else is on the credit report."
Mr. Defngin said many lenders can request a rapid credit rescore if they have proof of a change, such as a copy of an updated credit card statement showing that the balance has been reduced. He said borrowers with enough cash would be better off if they can eliminate their credit card debt.
