NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Louisville safety Calvin Pryor predicted the Cardinals would "shock the world" against Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Brave words that he and his teammates backed up from start to finish. Terell Floyd returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown on the first play, dual-threat quarterback Teddy Bridgewater directed a handful of scoring drives and No. 22 Louisville stunned the fourth-ranked Gators 33-23 in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night. Shaking off an early hit that flattened him and knocked off his helmet, Bridgewater was 20 of 32 passing for 266 yards and two touchdowns against the heavily favored Gators. Among his throws was a pinpoint, 15-yard timing toss that DeVante Parker acrobatically grabbed as he touched one foot down in the corner of the end zone. His other scoring strike went to Damian Copeland from 19 yards one play after a surprise onside kick by the Gators had backfired badly. Jeremy Wright had short touchdown run which gave the two-touchdow...

Are my smiling eyes meant for you?
It is so hard to sound unique and interesting in this little box. I mean I don't parachute into work each day. I am not a caped crusader, nor do I speak with a British accent. I do however go out of my way to be nice to the elderly. I do hold doors open for people and try everyday to be a better person than I was the day before. Sometimes I fail horribly but I am always trying to improve. Even in our failures we can learn and grow. I'm willing to admit that I cry during chick flicks and Hallmark movies. I like to volunteer and give back when I can. I guess I could be described as the girl next door. My best quality is my sense of humor. I am very witty and have a sarcastic sense of humor. Many people have told me that I should try stand-up. It is hard to be funny here while typing to no one in particular but trust me ladies, I can make you laugh! I graduated from law school last May and just recently passed the bar exam. It is so great to be done with outlines and highlighters! I worked full time and went to school on the weekends. Now that I have a little bit of free time available I would like to make some new connections. I just finished up Insanity and am now back to running. I enjoy running and would someday like to run a marathon. It would be great to have a girlfriend to workout with and get fit with. I am currently single and am looking for a special person to hang out with and have a great time with. I know there is a special lady out there for me somewhere. I am just having trouble finding her. I am patient though and one day I will find my better half. Could you be her? This is not to say that I am only on here to find a girlfriend. I am always on the lookout for new friends so if you think there is no love connection but you think we could be friends, drop me a line. A person can never have too many friends!

I have one dog. She is a German shepherd mix with a bit of devil thrown in! I also have 2 cats that were orphaned and I caved! My dog loves cats and I thought she needed some friends while I was busy in school.
Is it wrong to say my favorite place is Disneyworld? Sadly, I have never been outside of the US. I guess I am just waiting for my travel partner! I just got back from a vacation on a white sandy beach in FL - I could get used to life in a hammock!

Fave shows are Big Bang Theory, SNL, Mindy Project, and Golden Girls! Fave movies are Shawshank Redemption & Napolean Dynamite. I also like classic films. I like most music but mainly have on KDWB and Cities 97. Also have a fondness for garden gnomes
Right now I am doing 7 mile runs 3 times a week and doing Insanity 3 times a week. I need my Shaun T. fix! I also love to golf, shoot hoops and play pool. Also, my niece convinces me to make a fool of myself frequently. She's 6 - I can't resist!
I am constantly reading something - usually several things at once. I prefer to read non-fiction and learn about history, but I am willing to read just about anything. My favorite fiction author is Sarah Waters. Any good suggestions??

Lindsay Lohan Posts Bail, Leaves Jail
The actress, 24, was sentenced earlier in the day to 120 days in jail, plus 480 hours of community service for probation violation (stemming from a 2007 DUI). In January, Lohan had just completed three months of court-ordered rehab when she allegedly walked out of a jewelry store with a pricey necklace, leading to a theft accusation and her latest legal drama.
The judge on Friday reduced Lohan's felony charge to a misdemeanor, but ordered her immediately into custody and set a trial date. The court was reportedly swayed by surveillance video, which allegedly shows a friend of Lohan's acting as a decoy to distract a boutique owner, while the actress slips on a necklace. Lohan has insisted she had permission to borrow the bling, and has blamed a forgetful stylist for neglecting to return it promptly.
Lohan left the detention facility after sundown on Friday in a black SUV, with a sheriff's vehicle escorting hers off the premises. She's due in court May 11 for a pretrial hearing (back in February, Lohan declined a plea bargain, spurring her judge to warn "this case involves jail time"). Her booking in Lynwood is reportedly the fifth time she's been processed and released there.
The community service portion of Lohan's latest sentence requires her to spend 360 hours at the Downtown Women's Center (so she can "see how needy women have to live," according to TMZ) and another 120 hours at the Los Angeles County morgue.

Why is the justice system not telling Lohan to take responsibility for her actions and throw the book at her. If the same events happened to a non-celebrity or someone with less notoriety, you can be sure they would have been sitting in jail for 45 to 90 days the first time around. She has been given so many breaks and no one is showing their love by telling her they will not bail her out any more. She needs to stand on her own two feet and face her problems and do something about it.

Hey Lohan....How much did you have to kick back to the judge?
I guessd you will have to kill someone's kid before an "HONEST" judge throws your worthless druggie/drunk arzzz in jail for fifty years.
As for anyone who hires you, or has hired you....I hope they go broke.

Leave this young girl alone...You'd think she was a notorious bank robber the way this stupid judge is treating her. Go get the real criminals judge. This is such an obvious case of a phony jeweler wanting to cash in on her celebrity status.....and for this stuoid judge not to see this is ridiculous...

I like some of the things Trump suggests, but they aren't politically correct, so people won't accept them. People like to be told lies, believing that things will get better. Remember the Obama primaries and his "change"? Well, we realize how that has gone.

OK...quite frankly I just don't care anymore. They should just lock her up and "throw" away the key. Or better yet, deport her and her damn family. So sick of hearing about these losers with nothing better to do than "throw" away all of their opportunities, opportunities that most of us will never have even if we deserve them!

OMG, this is so annoying! Can they just keep HER in jail for ONCE, so we can have a break from HER for a while?!?! They know Lindsay will do the crimes ALL over again, so what's the point of letting her go?!?!

I call on everybody reading this who DOESN'T like Lindsay Lohan, to boycott any future movies that she makes, including her "Gotti" movie. She's got to go!

I am shocked a director would even want to deal with her after all this. This guy must be desperate. I will never spend 1 cent on anything L.L is involved in and I cancelled my cable three years ago because I got fed up with the reality trash I had to pay for that I do not want. Sadly too many americans are addicted to the boob tube and the crap that oozes out of that cesspool called Hollywood.

Weights & Measures at Melbourne Observatory
Image: Metric mass measures (c. 1865), Troughton & Simms
Source: Museum Victoria
From its inception the Melbourne Observatory had sets of standard weights and measures, which had been tested in Britain against the Imperial standards. These included the primary standard yard and pound for the Colony of Victoria. Other standards of weight and measure in the colony could be compared to these primary standards.
The measures were kept in the basement to reduce the effects of changes in temperature, but even so, special calculations had to be made to allow for the expansion and contraction of the metal in the standard yard. The standard yard was set up in a machine fitted with microscopes, so that exact comparisons could be made of two measures. In 1876 a permanent chain standard was erected in the Observatory grounds, to enable the ready testing of surveyor's and engineer's chain lengths.
A Weights & Measures Act was passed in Victoria in 1862, establishing local inspectors throughout the colony. By the 1870s, each local council and shire in Victoria held a set of standards that were used to test the scales, weights and measures used by factories and shops. Every ten years the councils' standards would themselves need to be rechecked against the Victorian standards.
This checking was done by the Victorian Customs Department in the 19th century, but with the transfer of responsibility for customs to the Federal Government in 1901, the weights and measures function was retained by the Victorian Government and shifted to the Melbourne Observatory. In 1904, a new building was erected at the south end of the Great Melbourne Telescope House, and the weights and measures and testing equipment installed on slate and granite benches. Because the large room had large whirling apparatus for testing air meters, it was always known as the Whirling Room.
When the Melbourne Observatory closed in 1944, the Weights and Measures Branch was formed to continue this area of the Observatory's work, and this branch remained at the Observatory site until 1995.

Claims processors - also called claims adjustors - are responsible for accurately and efficiently entering and processing claims for their organization. Claims processors generally work in the insurance industry and they work for many types of companies (such as those specializing in health insurance, automobile insurance, and/or home insurance). These claims may be received via the computer, on paper, or over the phone; processed claims create approvals (which send payment) or denials. Claims processors may be required to answer phone calls from policyholders related to claims, and they must be able to answer such calls quickly and accurately. They typically work in an office setting during normal business hours. If they answer phone calls, claims processors may be required to work on weekends and evenings. This position may be part time or full time, and some companies allow claims processors to work from home. Claims processors generally work seated at a computer workstation for extended periods of time.Read More...
Claims processors are usually required to have at least a high school diploma or equivalent, and some employers may require a postsecondary degree. Once hired, claims processors are often required to take additional classes to become proficient within their area of insurance and the policies of their industry. Claims processors must be familiar with basic computer use and claims processing software. They must pay excellent attention to detail and have the ability to multitask under deadline. These professionals must have outstanding customer service and communication skills.
State Farm Insurance Company, Allstate Insurance Company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Carolina, Inc. (BCBSSC), WellPoint, Inc., and Allstate are top-notch employers for Claims Processors in this area. Allstate Insurance Company offers the largest salaries in town — $35K on average.
Survey results imply that Claims Processors put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Medical Coding, Insurance, Customer Service, and Claim Handling are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Data Entry and Data Processing. Those who learned Customer Service also tend to know Medical Coding and Billing. Most people experienced in Claim Handling also know Billing and Medical Coding.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Someone who has worked for fewer than five years earns around $30K on average. Individuals with five to 10 years of experience don't get much more, though; the average income in this group is $32K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $35K. Survey participants who have spent more than 20 years on the job report a predictably higher median income of $38K, demonstrating that compensation is roughly commensurate with experience in the end.

Comment: sudoedit? visudo! (Score 4, Interesting) 83 83
by bartjan (#46326383) Attached to: Book Review: Sudo Mastery: User Access Control For Real People
Using sudoedit to edit the suders file is interesting, but wrong. Please don't do that. Use visudo instead, as it does check for valid syntax.
Also, what has "The Plateau Effect: Getting from Stuck to Success" to do with sudo?

Common Issues: Power Steering Failure
Sections: Faults & Fixes, R50 (Coupe), R52 (Conv.), R53 (Coupe), Recalls/Campaigns Feb 18th, 2009 80 Comments
A very interesting story over at BBC sent into us recently concerning Power Steering issues on R50/R53 MINIs.
BMW's customer service told Heather this wasn't a common fault, which is surprising because we've heard from dozens of other Mini owners who've told us they've had exactly the same problem, and have had to fork out anything up to £800 for the repair.
Not a common fault? Show of hands to those of you that have had power steering problems. As it turns out, we are not alone.
Matt Pike is an independent Mini mechanic, and a supplier of spare parts. He says he can barely keep up with demand for replacement power steering pumps: "At least 60 per cent of our regular customers have all had pumps changed. And we're getting at least two calls a day from people after power steering pumps because they're such a big failure. I'd say it's the most common problem we have with the Minis."
