... who claimed that his mother ran away before he was born!
Once again it seems that the media (including El Reg) are trying to make the story about Assange, not about what Wikileaks is doing.
As soon as I read this, I thought "ok, what if someone plants a few cannisters of petrol/ gas/ diesel etc with pinholes to allow them to leak slowly?"
Every detection would have to be checked out and operations would be slowed to a crawl.
... someone's checked the validity of his wikipedia page...
... nicking footage from The Italian Job!
And when you pay peanuts...
So, no change there...
... It has been announced today that worldwide carbon emissions from air travel have been significantly reduced because more and more people are refusing to be treated as potential terrorists simply for wanting to get on an aeroplane and are choosing not to travel by air...
... would be something like a Global Hypercolour T-shirt (ie ends up getting cheap colour changing dye all over the place!)
No, you are failing to understand the point. To answer your questions:
1) In order to ask this question you first have to know what the limit *IS*. The Scottish law effectively simply says that the limit is "too fast".
2) You say "the prosecutors don't make the law" but then you give an example which seems to suggest that the Police do! (They don't of course)
3) There are Home Office Guidelines on the amount of drugs above which someone can be classed as having "possession with intent to supply".
4) This is not just distasteful, it is stupid and irrelevant. The offence is you forcing yourself on someone else without their consent, that is the limit which is clearly defined in law, unlike the definition of so-called "Extreme Porn" which is *not* defined.
Oh, well, yes, now you say that it's obvious that our opinions should be:
"It doesn't affect me, so I'm alright Jack and screw anyone else!"
Yes, films with certificates are exempt, but a clip taken from a film with a certificate may not be if it is adjudged that "it is of such a nature that it must reasonably be assumed to have been extracted (whether with or without other images) solely or principally for the purpose of sexual arousal."
Which is one of the stupidest things ever to appear on the Statute Books...!!
Given the nonsense that's happened with the English law (the Tony the Tiger case for example) what do you think...?!
Nobody here is dense but you.
As with the English version of the law there are a vague and ill-defined set of stipulations that:
"An image is extreme if it depicts, in an explicit and realistic way any of the following—
"(a)an act which takes or threatens a person's life,
"(b)an act which results, or is likely to result, in a person's severe injury,
"(c)rape or other non-consensual penetrative sexual activity,"
The first problem here is that just because it is "realistic" does not mean it is *real*! Consequently a staged photograph which was actually taken will every possible safety precaution observed could *still* fall foul of this law because it is "realistic".
The second problem is what "threatens a person's life"? This is entirely subjective and relies on someone's *opinion* of what it looks like is happening in a picture, instead of what *actually* happened.
Look at some Goth imagery and you'll often see pictures of young ladies in erotic poses in floaty white dresses who are being threatened with knives of have apparently had their throats or wrists cut because they're covered in (fake) blood. Now again if that looks "realistic" it could be covered by this law even though nobody was harmed in the making of that picture.
The same goes for "severe injury" which, in the Scottish case is even broader than the English law which at least only covered injury to the "Breasts, Genitals or Anus", meaning that a picture of someone who has (consensually) been caned leaving bruises and raw skin on their buttocks could be adjudged to be of someone who has sustained "severe injury".
Finally the "rape" clause has the same problem in that if it *looks* like rape, it's illegal, no matter that, again, its a staged act between consenting adults.
Consequently what you have is a law where what is or is not illegal is *not* in any way clearly defined, so it's not a case of "how far over 30mph you are" it's a case of "Yes, M'lud the defendant was, in my personal and entirely subjective opinion, driving too fast, so he's guilty."
PS You're right that it's not rocket science. Rocket science deals in precise statements and accurate measurements, not "how fast do we need the rocket to go?" "I don't know, let's just see what happens when we try to launch it..."
"without clear guidelines as to what constitutes "extreme porn", potential perps may be able to get off by simply saying "how am I to know I was breaking the law"
You are exceptionally naiive if you think that is going to happen! As has already been shown in England (eg with the "Tony the Tiger" case) prosecutors will push to the limits of the law (and beyond) in order to get a conviction, their argument will simply be "ignorance of the law is no defence" (the fact that they were ignorant of what the law says because it stipulates that someone should consider an animal to be *real* or that it was a *joke* wasn't important to them!)
PS As for "someone being prosecuted for having a copy of Mayfair, it could happen simply because before the last Government changed the law, it was legal to print porn showing girls who were aged 16, but now the law says that the definition of a child is age 18, so some back issues have been rendered illegal.
Paging Mr Kafka, Mr Kafka to Scotland...
I cannot imagine why anyone would want to watch a lot of stuff that passes for popular entertainment these days, but I don't call for it to be banned (other than facetiously) simply because I don't like it.
More importantly, however, once again we see the Nanny State stepping in and telling us that we cannot be trusted to watch something because we're so weak-minded and suggestible that, if we do see it, we'll immediately go out and do Bad Things (tm)
"I wonder if you'll find consolence in your words when someone close to you dies."
You mean like when my father died of a brain tumour when I was 16?
I could see it happening. I knew it was going to happen. Yes, I was sad, but I was old enough that nobody tried to "sugar coat" it by effectively denying what was happening or saying "he's going to live with Jesus".
I'm now 45, older than my father when he died, I know I'm mortal. I know my mother and sister are mortal, I know at some time we're all going to die. That doesn't mean I won't be saddened by their deaths, but neither does it mean that I'll try to ignore the fact.
... deal with it!
Why are people so squeamish about the end of a natural process?
People are born, they live, they die, that's the way it's always happened and for most of human history it's all happened in one room, so when granny pops her clogs it's no great shock.
But now we seem to want to deny it happens, people don't die in their beds, they die in hospitals and we tell kiddies that granny has "gone to live with Jesus" or some other nonsense to stop them getting upset (we're Thinking Of The Children!) and so anything to do with death is seen as "creepy" and sensible ideas such as this get to be big news because, well, it's icky, isn't it?
(Should I use the Skull and Cross Bones Icon or the Flames Icon on this post...?)
"I suggest you need to do some more research."
Why? Because I pointed out that your "explanation" for WW2 was simplistic and overlooked major causative factors?
As for your suggestion that people weren't lobbing nukes because "everyone had seen what they were capable of", I suggest *you* look firstly at the US use of Napalm in Korea (far more than was used in Vietnam) which in large quantities had effects very similar to a nuclear strike and secondly consider that MacArthur wanted to use them to blockade the border between North Korea and China to prevent them getting supplies and reinforcements by using radioactive cobalt in a "scorched earth" policy, risking potential like-for-like retaliation against US targets.
Had there not been that risk of retaliation, that war and the world could be a very different place.
"one of the reasons for WW2 was that the German army was allowed to march home intact after WW1, rather than in disgrace as a conquered army."
The Treaty of Versailles restricted the German army to 100,000 men and drastically limited military production, so hardly "intact" and Germany was forced to admit guilt and sole responsibility for starting the war, this after they'd laid down their arms and accepted the Armistice proposal based on Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points" which was considered a betrayal of their honour.
Oh and of course WW2 was nothing, of course, to do with the crippling reparations that were demanded by France and its Allies which let the Nazis use the rallying cry of "Freedom and Bread" to raise support for their cause...
As for nukes, McArthur wanted to use them in Korea and it was only because Russian had managed to make their own atomic bombs that he wasn't allowed to.
Or you could try the old analogue method of licking a finger and moving towards where it feels coldest.
(Hang on, wouldn't that be "digital"?!)
4111 1111 1111 1111 works for Visa cards
... Facebook could also stop lying about claiming that "These friends of yours have found other friends".
One of my friends has an FB account which, after setting it up, he's never used, yet somehow I keep getting told that he's used their "Friend Finder" and so should I...
So, about the size of an average American family's 4 car garage, then...
(Ok, that does leave the problems of where to park the cars!)
But in which way?
If they failed to take organs from those who wanted to donate, that's a tragic waste.
If they took organs from those who had not wanted to donate, that's a crime.
How many people, if treated in that way, would be seriously thinking about suicide after only a few days???
Have a look at this toolbar madness!
I don't know if it still happens, but a while back there was a spate of thefts from idiots who would immediately stop outside the Underground station to check their phone and the thieves would be waiting to simply grab and run...!
... you mentioned Streisand along with all your mentions of Cathy Cruz Marrero...
I tried, but I ended up in Cuba...!!
... it seems that TPTB in the USA are trying to make the story about Wikileaks and, once again, glossing over the *staggering* failures of their own security!
Oh deary, deary me.
I find it ironic that you call "fail" on my post when you *failed* to read the end of my post where I said:
'the obvious reply is "Fine, if they *admit* that they're doing it, instead of claiming that it's all fair and above board and there's no preferential tinkering going on behind the scenes!"'
"Basic Set Theory, which should be explained to all numbskulls when they can't find what they want in a search engine..."
How about Basic Fair Competition? Why do you think Microsoft got into trouble for pushing IE at the public and now has to provide links to other browsers as well?
Why should Google not be obliged to give equal prominence to other map providers?
Why not just have a link at the top of the page to "Maps of Gloucester" which takes you to a page where there are links to GoogleMaps, Mapquest et al available giving the user a *choice* of which one they pick instead of having GoogleMaps pushed down their throats?
Google claims to be a "search engine" not "an engine for pushing Google's own services". If it is the latter, at least they should be honest about it.
Unless, of course, you're running a company that is in competition with any of Google's services.
If you want to look up something on MapQuest instead, but are given a Google Map at the top of your page, which are you going to use?
Naturally the immediate response is "why should Google not promote their own products over others" but the obvious reply is "Fine, if they *admit* that they're doing it, instead of claiming that it's all fair and above board and there's no preferential tinkering going on behind the scenes!"
1) Batteries, when being replaced/ recharged can be assessed for charge capacity and any that aren't up to scratch can be returned to a central depot for reconditioning or recycling.
2) Storage space isn't a problem if you rip out one of the underground petrol storage tanks which hold (according to a quick bit of searching) upwards of 45,000 litres of fuel.
3) The changing process would be mechanical, you wouldn't have to carry the things around yourself. It would not be difficult to design something with connections sturdy enough to handle being swapped in this way. All it requires is cooperation from the manufacturers.
4) I'd take a guess that all petrol stations already have three-phase AC connections which would make charging easier and quicker.
5) With battery swapping you would get a typical extended day's journey, especially if combined with hybrid technology which would carry 3-4 people with luggage (although how many cars actually *do* that in the course of a year?!)
All of the above can be made to work, people just have to *want* them to work.
Whilst I agree with your sentiments, as I've pointed out in previous posts on this subject, prostitution itself is *not* illegal, it's just so much that surrounds it that is.
The fact is, however, that kerb crawling, especially when it happens in or near residential areas, is a problem for local people, but the solution is not to criminalise the women or the punters, but to make it easier for women to be able to advertise their services via the web etc and allow them to work in premises with appropriate protection and security to ensure their safety thus making kerb crawling unnecessary in the first place.
... ones that are Smarter than the Average Bear...!
... Guinea Pigs (qv) ;-)
If you think Shaun the Sheep is aimed at kids, you don't know what you're missing!
Log on to BBC iPlayer and if you're not laughing within a minute, have someone check your pulse :-)
And about time too!
Although I can see that going down like a lead balloon at the next Freemason's Dinner...
In other words, they're a toothless watchdog who can do nothing more than wag a stern finger at a an advertiser and say "tut, tut, that's naughty".
... does it make that cool doo-d-d-d-d-d-doo-doo-doo-doo sound effect that always accompanied Austin's use of the zoom facility?
... saying "The EU cannot stand idly by while fundamental liberties are being undermined within its borders" rather over-looks the fact that the EU *has* done exactly that and continues to do so, the UK "Dangerous Pictures" and "Dangerous Drawings" Acts are just two of the latest examples.
However at least the noble Baroness is making an effort to ensure that they *can't* simply let this sort of thing slide, the problem is making sure that it doesn't keep on happening.
The arguments you put forward are the same ones which allowed the USA to try to censor adult material by deciding that "local standards" (even if they're the local standards of Bigotsville in the Bible Belt) should determine what *everyone else* in the country should or should not be allowed to read/ see/ view.
You list things that *you* want and then with sheer arrogance, decide that because *you* think those things are right and good, they must be right and good for everyone, so everyone should agree with you.
Sorry, you don't speak for anyone but yourself here, so don't assume that can tell everyone else that you have the right to decide this matters for them.
If you're not pre-conditioned by the story to hear "f***" then it's obviously "bark".
... get them to read out the name of the "Isle of Ewes"...
... that Segways are not legal to use on the road is that they are not constructed in accordance with BS6102 part 1 which are the regulations that govern the use of electric bicycles, nor are they classed as either Class II or Class III Invalid Carriages under The Use of Invalid Carriages on Highways Regulations 1988.
Of the two, the latter (especially class III) are by far the more dangerous (and certainly more dangerous than a Segway) because they are allowed on the pavement and you can have 300kg or so of machine and rider capable of traveling at 13kph being driving by someone who may not have the best visual acuity or mental faculties and, indeed, they have been responsible for a number of deaths and injuries.
So before you start taking the pi$$ out of Segways and saying that they shouldn't be legal because the riders look ridiculous (or some other spurious BS such as you didn't like Lembit Opik) try looking at some facts.
Please, don't spoil a good Tabloid Frothing at the Mouth Rant (and the subsequent Frothing at the Brain comments) by actually introducing *facts* into the topic!!!

Respond to Review of The Lotus-Heart Restaurant and Tea House

To thicken chowder mix flour with hot water to make a paste, stirring continuously.
Slowly add flour mixture and continue cooking for a few more minutes until desired thickness is achieved.
Note: Using half regular milk and half canned evaporated milk to equal a quart makes for a "richer" chowder.

Escape Ball
The game is a remake of the old Gorgon for Apple IIe programmed by Nazir Gabelli. It uses keyboard only. You can't use touch on this app. You have to rely on the keyboard to play the game. See the help files within the game using F1 key to know which keys are used to play the game. The game can't be rotated with a device such as a tablet. I recommend playing the game on a PC with bigger screen to enjoy the game to its full potential. It was made by one person in 152 hours with C# and XAML
I admire the work of Nazir Gabelli for what he accomplished at that time.
The goal is to stay alive and save humans from vampires. When you want to move horizontally, you just have to hit the right key and while the ship moves you may move up and down slightly each time you hit an arrow key when the ship moves, it'll stop.
At some point in time, cells fuel power-up will appear and you have 10 seconds to grab it. don't miss it because more you move, and more you'll lose cells fuel but at the same time, if you don't move, you'll be hit by a monster or one of their projectiles !
The fun begins when you get to the Nightmare difficulty and you kill monsters faster then they appear. Don't worry, the monster projectiles have a life time. After a few seconds they'll disappear.
Hope you'll enjoy the game as much as I did making it.

BEIJING (DTN) -- Chinese corn prices may be stable to higher this year, largely because the state reserve is buying at a higher than anticipated price.
"Government policy is distorting corn price," said Zhonghua Wang, a market analyst at Zhangshang Futures in Beijing. "Recent statistics show that the Chinese state reserve is buying more corn compared to last year. This will impact cash corn supply in the next month."
By January 25, China's state grain reserve, had purchased 39 million metric tons of corn, higher than the 36 mmt it purchased during the same timeframe last year.

Element K2 Flashlight
A lot of people already know about the Element K2 flashlight, but I was not familiar with them until recently and did not get one until my dad and brother picked up a couple for me and my son Danaher. I have to say, I'm impressed. It is pictured here with a .357 Magnum bullet to give you a sense of size.
It uses a single LED, but it's not like the diodes I'm used to seeing. The company says it is 50X brighter than a normal LED and I believe it. Using three AAA cells, it is about as bright as some of my D cell Maglites in a much smaller package. The LED is supposed to maintain 70% of its brightness after 50,000 hours. It is also supposed to have a 20 hour run time on the AAA's. That's incredible for a light so bright.
In reading reviews, some people have had problems with the battery holder falling apart, hopefully they corrected that problem. You can pick up a pack of two for under $30 at Sam's. I'm sure other places have them, I just have not looked. I'll be buying more.

THE notion of a family guide to space may conjure up the Swiss Family Robinson approach of Lost in Space, but Macmillan USA had something less frivolous in mind when it collaborated with the Smithsonian Institution to produce a series of photographic guides. It suggests that the conquest of space is "arguably the greatest achievement of all time" in its announcement of the publication of Spaceflight: A Smithsonian Guide (pp 256, $27.50 hbk, $18 pbk).
It's a good buy, furnished with more than 300 photographs. It encompasses a history of spaceflight from the first wild ideas of how to get off the ground let alone off the planet with a speculative look at the 21st century. Aviation is the companion volume, looking at the history of flight. Future titles includes Planets (August) and American Inventions (1996).

Last holiday season, Jay Z got pulled into a racial profiling dispute involving Barneys New York, which along with Macy's, has agreed to pay state fines for its security practices. Patrick Cole
The UpTake: Consumers who complained about racial profiling while they shop in two of Manhattan's most famous stores have been heard. Following an investigation by the state's top prosecutors and a PR mess that pulled in Jay-Z, both Macy's and Barneys New York have agreed to pay fines, and alter their security practices.
M acy's and Barneys New York will pay fines and make changes to their security practices following a now-concluded investigation into complaints by minority customers who accused the retailers of "shop and frisk" and racial profiling practices at their stores in Manhattan.
State attorney general Eric Schneiderman's office announced today that Macy's, which faced complaints from nearly two dozen customers, has agreed to pay a $650,000 fine to the state of New York, and to hire an independent monitor who will report to an executive outside of Macy's loss prevention department.
Last week, it was revealed that Barneys New York will similarly pay a $525,000 fine to the state and institute reforms at its Madison Avenue store following an investigation launched after two African-American customers claimed they were falsely accused of credit card fraud while shopping at its flagship store. On top of the fines, Barneys will retain an independent anti-profiling consultant with expertise in the prevention of racial profiling in loss prevention and asset protection.
The Barneys controversy last year pulled hip-hop mogul Jay Z(nee Shawn Carter) into the dispute because he had collaborated with the retailer on a 2013 holiday collection that was set to benefit his charity, the Shawn Carter Foundation, which provides scholarships to single moms and young people in need. Jay Z who initially faced criticism for not speaking out against Barneys, ultimately said that he was awaiting results of the investigation. But in the meantime, the African-American mogul worked out an arrangement to have all of the profits go to his charity rather than just the 25 percent that Barneys had previously agreed to.
As part of the Macy's inquiry, investors spoke with at least two Macy's sales representatives who, the settlement agreement stated, said that store guards followed black and Hispanic shoppers "at rates far greater than that of white customers," according to the release.

Movies You Should See If You Are Concerned About Peak Oil And It's Consequences.
Although there are a bunch of movies about Peak Oil, I recommend you check the following out from the video store and/or Netflix if you are interested in learning more about how the demise of oil will affect our planet. Since nearly everything we use is made from petroleum, the loss of oil as a major fossil fuel is set to have a huge impact on the way we (or our children) will live. If you have a chance, check out these movies as they are really well done:
A Crude Awakening
The End Of Suburbia
Crude Impact
Oil, Smoke and Mirrors – (You can watch this one online at the link)

A few months ago, I was introduced to CSN Stores through some of my foodie blog friends, and I spent a little time browsing through their 200+ online shops, looking at everything from ice cream makers and bedding to wardrobes and cool baby gear. I was intrigued by the huge selection available through CSN, and… [read more]
Product Review: Quinoa Gold
Uh oh. The Hydration Project is rearing its thirsty head again… This time, in the form of a tall, cold glass of quinoa. Wait… what?! Quinoa? Yup. Quinoa. I love quinoa.

Adjusting to Motherhood: My Biggest Challenge
I've always been a classic Type A personality–a chronic overachiever, and frankly, a bit of a control freak. That's not to say I did everything perfectly, but I always strove to, and I based my own personal self-worth on my achievements and ability to do everything, all at once. To me, unless I got an… [read more]

That's right; I said it. The Houston Texans will never win a Super Bowl with Matt Schaub. Before you pass judgment on me; I want to show you facts and statistics. And I'm not a Matt Schaub hater. Hater implies I'm jealous of Schaub's success, and that could be further from the truth. I believe Schaub is a capable quarterback in the NFL, but he's not a franchise quarterback. Schaub is not a quarterback that you can rely on when the team is down seven points and need a score... Read more

Wheeling woman has a shot at winning 'Biggest Loser'Continue reading.
'Biggest Loser' champ Danni Allen says Chicago marathon in the running
Danni Allen lost 121 pounds but her bank account got a lot fatter.
The Wheeling woman won $250,000 on "The Biggest Loser" by an oh-so-thin margin of 1 pound during the live finale Monday of NBC's weight-loss show.
Allen, who grew up in Mundelein, said Tuesday that she plans to use some of those winnings to live up to a deal she cut with runner-up Jeff Nichols of Michigan.
"We promised each other we would reward the other one with a vacation," said Allen, adding that they'll likely be accompanied by Nichols' girlfriend, fellow season 14 contestant Francelina Morillo.
"I'll be the third wheel," Allen, 26, said with a laugh. "But everybody's talking about how I'm single and hot now, so maybe I'll find my man on this vacation, too."
In a show built around dramatic transformations, Allen's was particularly stunning. When filming began in the fall, she was at her all-time heaviest: 258 pounds. By the time she took the stage in Hollywood to step on the "Biggest Loser"
scale one last time, a beaming, tearful Allen was almost half that weight at 137 pounds.
"She worked harder than everyone the entire season," her proud coach Jillian Michaels said during the finale, where Allen sent jaws dropping to the floor when she walked out in a red Halston Heritage dress.
"My theme song was 'This Girl Is on Fire' and that was my fire dress," said Allen, who tried on at least 100 outfits before hitting pay dirt with the one-shoulder frock. "I felt like I was on fire that night."
Her boss at Lincolnshire's Viper Alley, where she's been a part-time bartender for about a year, couldn't believe what he saw while watching the finale with close to 100 others at a viewing party at the suburban club.
"She was like a supermodel," said general manager Jon Larson, who wouldn't be surprised if Allen's days of slinging cocktails are over. "If I won $250,000 I wouldn't bartend Friday nights either."
The architecture major's full-time job is advertising account coordinator for Camping World in Lincolnshire — for now.
"I'm not sure if I'll continue," she said. "I do have a little extra cash under my belt. It's given me the opportunity to think beyond the desk. I've been given that gift of time to really evaluate my life and find new things for me to try."
Allen may not know how she's going to spend all of her winnings, but she knows how she wants to spend her time: training for this year's Chicago marathon.
"That's going to be my first fitness goal after 'Biggest Loser,'" said the former Mundelein High School varsity athlete, who was on the soccer team and went on to play water polo at Clemson University in South Carolina. More recently, you could find her running, swimming and taking spin classes at Lifetime Fitness in Vernon Hills, where she first started working out during a December break in filming.
"We were the only ones in the gym on Christmas Day," fitness instructor Kim Moody said. "She was the perfect client from Day 1. She just has a sense of fire and energy."
Allen, who's making a shadow box to showcase her old jeans (size 20) and her new ones (size 4), worked especially hard to stay in shape after filming wrapped in mid-January.
"One of my biggest fears was putting the weight back on," Allen said. She turned her Wheeling apartment into a "safe zone," purging it of ice cream, potato chips and "stuff I knew I couldn't resist if I had a weak moment."
While she won't deprive herself of a daily nibble of dark chocolate, she's eating more Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and other healthful foods in reasonable portions — something she struggled with in the past. Her healthy habits even have trickled down to her father, whose cardiovascular health scare last year inspired her to try out for the show.
Shortly before winning the $250,000 grand prize, Allen renewed the lease on her Wheeling apartment for a year.
After that, it might be time for more change.
"I'm thinking warmer climates," she said. "The cold is a lot more difficult to bear without 100 pounds of insulation on you."

Putting on the pinstripes after donning a Red Sox uniform for almost a decade can make a player transform from beloved to traitor overnight, but Kevin Youkilis still has nothing but the best to say about his time in Boston. After being traded to the White Sox in June after nine years with the Red Sox, Youk braced for an emotional return to Fenway when Chicago came to town. On the eve of his homecoming he penned a classy letter to Red Sox fans thanking them for all the support. Now, after signing a deal with the Yankees, his gratitude toward Red Sox Nation remains just as strong. Youkilis wants to help #Yankees win World Series. But said, "I'll always be a Red Sox. That's part of your history. U can't change that."— David Lennon (@DPLennon) February 14, 2013 Youkilis talked very fondly about his #RedSox days. Still great affection there. Much different than Johnny Damon's defection to #Yankees.— David Lennon (@DPLennon) February 14, 2013 Fans gave Youkilis a standing ovation when he returned to Boston the first time, but despite the kind words and even despite the World Series championships he was a part of, the "Youks" may actually be boos when he walks on to Fenway in a Yankee uniform.

The Cincinnati Reds will host the 2015 Major League All-Star Game, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Monday. Commissioner Bud Selig is expected to make the announcement on Wednesday when he comes to Cincinnati. Cincinnati has not hosted the All-Star Game since 1988, and this will be the first time it's played at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark. This year's All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field, which is the Mets' home field, and the 2014 All-Star Game is scheduled to be played at Target Field, which is the Twins' home ballpark.

Crusaders v Reds - Live
Full time Crusaders 38 Reds 9
80 George Whitelock wins a turnover at a ruck and kicks the ball into touch. That's the final act of the half and the home side marches on1 The Crusaders have made a statement with this result and all the other sides left in the competition know the seven-time champions are a real threat if they want to be successful. Unfortunately, the Reds were never in this game. They were on the back-foot from the outset and seldom threatened their opponents.
77 The Reds take the ball through several phases but Richie McCaw, who is on for Todd, wins a turnover at a ruck. The ball comes out to Heinz, who kicks it directly into touch!
75 The Crusaders are turning on the style now and after several players handle the ball, Willie Heinz crashes over the line but loses the ball in the process! That's the first time that the luck has gone the Reds' way in this game!
73 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 38-9. Taylor has taken over the kicking duties from Carter - who has been replaced - but he keeps the momentum going when he adds another three-pointer, after Ed O'Donoghue infringes at a ruck.
70 Dagg launches a chip kick and Beau Robinson tries to gather but knocks on!
68 CONVERSION, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 35-9. Carter adds to the Reds' woes when he lands another two-pointer!
67 TRY, CRUSADERS, CROTTY! 33-9. Crotty rounds off after Read and Carter combine brilliantly, in the build-up! Carter offloads to Crotty who barges over!
64 The Reds forwards are on the attack, with pick-up-and-goes, inside the Crusaders' 22 but George Whitelock wins a crucial turnover! The ball comes out to Willie Heinz, who boots it upfield.
61 This time it's Owen Franks who is pinned for a scrum infringement. This time the Reds put the ball out close to the Crusaders' try-line and launch an attack from a line-out. The Reds go over the line and Jake Schatz is in control of the ball. However, the TMO rules that no try was scored.
59 Crockett is pinned for illegal scrummaging. Cooper kicks for touch and puts the ball out 10 metres from the halfway mark.
57 The Crusaders are running the Reds ragged! They are soon inside the Queenslanders' 22 and the ball goes through several pairs of hands until Kieran Read knocks on!
55 Cooper gathers a clearance kick in touch and plays quickly! He throws a long pass to Genia but after being alerted by his assistant, the referee rules that the pass was forward.
53 CONVERSION, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 28-9. Carter succeeds with another two-pointer to push the home side further in front!
52 TRY, CRUSADERS, MARSHALL! 26-9. Wyatt Crockett makes a break upfield before offloading to Matt Todd. The flanker passes to Tom Marshall who scores his side's third try!
50 Crotty and Dagg combine close to the Reds' 22! Dagg kicks ahead but it's too long and the ball rolls over the dead-ball line.
47 PENALTY, REDS, COOPER! 21-9. Cooper narrows the gap, with his third penalty, after several Crusaders are pinned for being offside.
45 The Reds take the ball through several phases inside the Crusaders' 22! The home side are not panicking though and defend resiliently.
43 Cooper gets a chance to narrow the gap, after several Crusaders players are pinned for being in front of an Israel Dagg clearance kick. His effort is a poor one and well wide of the uprights!
40 Cooper gets the second half started! Sam Whitelock gathers his kick and sets up a ruck just outside his 22.
Half Time Crusaders 21 Reds 6
40 The Crusaders launch an attack from just outside their 22 and take the ball through several phases! Marshall, Flynn, Carter, Marshall and Guildford are all prominent until George Whitelock piles over the line under a mass of bodies! Referee Peyper checks with the TMO, who once again rules that it's inconclusive whether a try has been scored. That's also the final act of the half and the players head into the sheds for a deserved break. It's been one-way traffic with the Crusaders dominant in all facets of the game. They've controlled the set-pieces, breakdowns, and been far superior on attack and defence. The Reds have been outmuscled and are not playing intelligently. They will have to show greater improvement if they still want to stay in the competition.
39 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 21-6. Ed Quirk is penalised for holding onto the ball on the ground and Carter adds to the home side's lead!
36 The Reds attack close to the Crusaders' 22 but George Whitelock does brilliantly when he pounces on Schatz as he goes to the ground. The Reds number eight is eventually penalised for holding onto the ball on the ground and the Crusaders gain a reprieve.
34 The Reds are on the attack, just outside the Crusaders' 22 but lose possession when James Horwill is tackled into touch by Crockett after going on the drive at a line-out.
31 TRY, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 18-6. Sam Whitelock makes a devastating break up the middle of the field! He is stopped just outside the Reds' 22 by Feauai-Sautia but the the ball is spun wide and Carter rounds off in the left-hand corner!
29 PENALTY, REDS, COOPER! 13-6. Ellis and Wyatt Crockett stray offside at a ruck and Cooper makes them pay when he adds another three-pointer!
26 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 13-3. Carter makes up for that earlier miss with another three-pointer for the hosts after James Slipper is pinned for illegal scrummaging!
23 Chris Feauai-Sautia is penalised for not rolling away at the bottom of the ruck and Carter indicates he'll have a crack at goal, from about 48 metres out. His effort is on target but falls just short of the cross-bar.
21 The Reds play quickly when the Crusaders pack is blown up for early engagement at a scrum. Jake Schatz and Greg Holmes carry strongly but the hosts' defence keep them in check with some telling tackles.
19 Ben Lucas takes a shot at goal, after the Crusaders' forwards are penalised for a ruck infringement, but his effort is just wide of the uprights.
17 The Crusaders are on the attack, just outside the Reds' 22 but lose possession when Guildford knocks on a pass from Andy Ellis.
15 PENALTY, REDS, COOPER! 10-3. Cooper gets the Reds first points, from the kicking tee, after Crotty is penalised for not releasing Ben Lucas in the tackle.
12 CONVERSION, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 10-0. Carter adds the extras to extend the home side's lead!
11 TRY, CRUSADERS, CROTTY! 8-0. Ryan Crotty takes a crash-ball from Carter and slips past a tackle from Jono Lance before scoring under the posts!
9 The Crusaders take the ball through the backs and the Dagg joins the line at pace! He makes a dash for the try-line but is stopped just short! Luke Romano also has a crack at the line but after consulting his TMO, referee Jaco Peyper rules that no try has been scored.
7 Carter spots a gap behind the Reds' defence and launches a kick which doesn't find touch. Chris Feauai-Sautia gathers and passes to Will Genia, who puts the ball into touch midway between his 22 and the halfway mark.
5 There's a break in play as Dom Shipperley receives medical attention. He stays down after clattering into Israel Dagg. He gets up, however, and is ready to soldier on.
4 PENALTY, CRUSADERS, CARTER! 3-0. Dan Carter gets the game's opening points after the Reds' backs are pinned for straying offside on defence.
2 The Crusaders have a good extended period of play as they take the ball through several phases. Owen Franks, Matt Todd, Zac Guildford and Tom Marshall are prominent ball carriers.
Kick off Dan Carter gets underway! His kick is gathered by Rob Simmons, who goes barging into the opposition.
Team news The return of All Blacks lock Luke Romano is the only change to the Crusaders starting XV for this encounter. Romano has recovered from a high ankle sprain and starts alongside Sam Whitelock in place of Tom Donnelly. Donnelly drops out of the matchday squad as Luke Whitelock provides both lock and loose forward cover on the bench. All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw will be on the bench as he makes his first Super Rugby appearance this season after his six-month sabbatical. There is one other change amongst the replacements as the versatile Adam Whitelock, who can cover wing and midfield, replaces Telusa Veainu. Flanker Matt Todd will earn his 50th cap for the Crusaders.
Team news The Reds have been boosted by the return of James Horwill and Will Genia ahead of this play-off. The pair missed out on the Reds' final round match last week due to injuries suffered while on international duty, but make a timely return to fitness. The men from Queensland will however be without key backs Rod Davies (knee) and Mike Harris (hamstring). Harris is replaced in the midfield by Jono Lance while Davies' spot out wide is taken by Chris Feauai-Sautia as part of an all-new wing division that sees Dom Shipperley come in for Luke Morahan. Genia takes over the number nine jersey from Nick Frisby. Centre Anthony Faingaa has not recovered sufficiently from a hamstring strain to take up his place among the replacements. Horwill's injection into the second row is the only change in the pack, with Ed O'Donoghue dropping to the bench.
Welcome Hello and welcome to AMI Stadium in Christchurch for our coverage of the first Super Rugby play-off of 2013. The 2011 winners face the seven-time champs for a place in the semi-finals with plenty of sub-plots to keep us intrigued. Don't go away, kick-off is approaching!

Passengers check their flights at Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut, Thursday, May 3, 2012. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: A Jordanian man was arrested at Beirut's airport Tuesday for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, security sources said.
They said the 31-year-old man was arrested after customs officers found 3.4 kilograms of psychotic pills concealed in the bottom of his suitcase.
Following preliminary interrogation at the Beirut port, the man was referred to the anti-drug bureau, the sources added.

Overheating and similar issues with GeForce GTX 280

Re: Overheating and similar issues with GeForce GTX 280
The thermal window for the 280 GTX is far too narrow. Even with everything perfect; a case with perfect ventilation, a cool room temperature, and a card with the heatsink installed properly the normal load temperature is 85 degrees, that is only 20 degrees less than the threshold temperature.
But there are so many things that can go wrong (and it doesn't have to be massively wrong just a bit); a case with less than adequate ventilation, a heatsink where there isn't enough or too much thermal paste, a heatsink with uneven pressure, a hot summer day raising the room temperature, or even a small thing like the 680i northbridge fan blowing on the card is enough to tip the scale. This card is in desperate need of a die shrink or a better cooling solution.

News and notes from area and statewide high school sports.
State Salutes
Each week the Journal Sentinel recognizes the efforts of three athletes outside our coverage area. Here are this week's State Salutes.
Fond du Lac
Talbert, a senior track and field athlete, won the WIAA Division 1 state title in the shot put June 2 with a mark of 44 feet, which was almost a foot better than the rest of the field. The performance marked the fourth straight top 10 finish for this former triple jumper at the state meet. Last year, she finished fifth in the shot (40-2½). As a sophomore, she was seventh with throw of 41-7¼. And as a freshman, she was fourth in the event (39-5) but also grabbed second place in the triple jump with a mark of 37-10. She ranked second in the state in the shot put this season with a mark of 45-9¾. She will compete at Stanford next year.
Thurs, a senior track and field athlete, won four events at the WIAA Division 3 state meet June 1-2 in La Crosse to help the Wildcats cruise to the team title with 112 points. She won the 100-meter high hurdles in 15.29 seconds, the 300 hurdles in 45.78 and the triple jump with a mark of 36 feet, 2½ inches. She also teamed up with senior Jena Heidmann and juniors Holly Denfeld and Elizabeth Pospyhalla to win the 1,600 relay in 4 minutes, 1.50 seconds, but in the preliminary round the team set a new state record with a time of 3:58.31. Thurs finished as a four-time champion in the 1,600 relay, which set the previous state record in 2010, and a two-time champion in both hurdle events.
JOE McKENNA
Madison Edgewood
McKenna, a senior track and field athlete, won the 1,600 meters and finished second in two other events at the WIAA Division 2 state meet in La Crosse June 1-2. He ran the 1,600 in 4 minutes, 13.74 seconds on the first day of the meet to post the best Division 2 time in the event in the state this season and the fifth fastest overall. The next day he finished second in the 3,200 in 9:27.79 and teamed up with seniors Walter Grosenheider, Joseph Hanson and David Mott to finish second in 7:56.0 in the 3,200 relay. McKenna's effort came on the heels of a third-place finish at the WIAA state cross country meet in the fall.

I'm just a guy. I'll never be rich. I don't...
I'm just a guy. I'll never be rich. I don't mind work, but I do mind unemployment and homelessness so hopefully I'll never be destitute. So I guess I exist somewhere in between similar to the majority of the population. If I had more time, I would volunteer more. I think it's good for getting out of your head. There is time. What am I saying? I need to make it. And I have...with Habitat for Humanity. Of course, I do have my own selfish motivations. I want to learn to build stuff. And building stuff for other people is better than filling out this profile in my cubicle on a Thursday morning. I don't really care about football. It's exciting and all, but I would rather be doing something exciting than watching other people doing exciting stuff. To be honest, I'm lazy. I understand if you've moved on. If everybody is zigging, I prefer to zag. Not because I'm antisocial. I just don't like trends. Does that make me trendy? It takes me awhile to warm up to people. If ever. I'm definitely introverted. Probably socially anxious too. Sounds hot doesn't it. What woman doesn't love an awkward silence or three over a cup of coffee flavored coffee. Maybe improv classes should be in my future. I'm probably not a good match for the majority of you ladies out there. I'd like to think at the very least I'm honest. Bonus points if don't have any tattoos. Is it just me or does everybody need to get one to define them as a person? Oh well, YOLO, you know? Bleh. I regret mine although I think the story behind it would make a good short story. Even more bonus points if you are NOT looking for your best friend or partner in crime. You are the one female on this site that does not like to travel. Not necessarily because we would be a good match, but because you would be original. But I like traveling and am thus, unoriginal so why would you want to talk to me..? Maybe we all like to travel because it's an atavistic hunter/gatherer thing. I'd probably be content cooking in a roadside diner and moving on every couple of years. Sounds like a Johnny Cash song..? This is all a load. I'm here just to look at pictures. I wouldn't date me if I was a chick. What's with the girls and the mirror selfy butt shots? Not that I mind it. It just doesn't seem to leave much up to the imagination. I mean, you girls say the mirror 8 minute abs selfy dudes are a turn off? Rest assured, you won't find any of them from me. I don't want to see me with my shirt off.

Rock climbing, running on a treadmill (I find the redundancy of running in place calming, what does this mean?) Looking for old records, fixing up my place then hiring a professional when I realize I have no idea what I'm doing...a long walk.

Judge Miguel Angel Galvez ruled that Rios Montt could be tried on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for the killing of 1,771 indigenous Ixiles in 1982 and 1983, when he was president.
The decision clears the way for a three-judge panel to hear the evidence against Rios Montt and decide to either judge him guilty and sentence him, exonerate him of the charge or start a public trial.
Prosecutors allege that after leading a March 1982 coup and seizing control of the government, Rios Montt oversaw torture, rape, forced disappearances and forced relocations and killings of thousands of Ixil people by soldiers, paramilitaries and other government officials.
His lawyers have sought to block the trial, arguing that he is protected by an amnesty law.
The attorney-general's office said that it found evidence of 5,271 killings of Ixil residents of the towns of San Juan Cotzal, Santa Maria Nebai and San Gaspar Chajul in the department of Quiche. Prosecutors said 1,771 died in some 15 massacres between 1982 and 1983, and 370 bodies have been identified.
Prosecutor Orlando Lopez said during hearings before Monday's decision that Rios Montt wanted to wipe out the Ixil people, considered a bastion of support for guerrilla fighters waging a civil war against the Guatemalan state.
"During the period in which you held office, it is believed that the actions carried by members of the Guatemalan Army, military official and civil defense patrolmen resulted in the deaths of 1,771 people," the complaint against Rios Montt reads.
The prosecution case includes forensic reports documenting hundreds of deaths.
Among the testimony presented to the judge was that of Ana Lopez, an Ixil woman taken from her home by soldiers in May, 1982 to a government outpost where she was tortured and raped for 10 days.
During the 1960-96 civil war, more than 200,000 people, mostly Mayan Indians, were killed or went missing and entire villages were exterminated, according to the United Nations.

The agglomeration of data, however, is not offering a clear picture to economists and policymakers who yearn for one.
Dutifully obeying the modern principle of agglomeration, it would be called an iPlod.
1774, "action of collecting in a mass," from Latin agglomerationem (nominative agglomeratio), noun of action from past participle stem of agglomerare (see agglomerate). In reference to a mass so formed, it is recorded from 1833.
