IRS 2008 budget steps up tax services transformation
IRS awards tax software contract to CGI-AMS
Payment compliance system will target tax deadbeats
The Internal Revenue Service awarded CGI Federal a $10 million contract to perform maintenance and operations support for the IRS' Filing and Payment Compliance system implementation. The award expands work that CGI has been doing for the IRS since March 2005. The IRS began the implementation of F&PC using CGI's Computer Assisted Collection System for Government, an online workflow and case management system designed for government compliance operations, to manage filing and compliance cases.
The F&PC implementation lets the IRS handle the annual volume of cases and reduce the growth of delinquent accounts. The system's efficiency has led to IRS resolving more cases. The system supports automated case analysis to determine the cases that are most productive for the agency to follow up on by IRS agents and private tax collectors. The use of private tax collectors has stirred controversy so much so that the House passed a bill last month prohibiting the privatization of tax collection. IRS has said that the use of private tax collectors for the simplest cases helps reduce the tax gap.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 03:44PM
The campaign will launch on June 4 and centre on a TV ad created by Quiet Storm. It will be accompanied by outdoor advertising.
The ad features a young male farmer strolling naked through a rural village, while enjoying a Richmond Ham sandwich. The farmer proclaims the benefits of natural ingredients, and the ad is set to the Sammy Davis Jr song, 'I've gotta be me'.
Claire Winstanley, marketing director, meats, at Kerry Foods, the maker of Richmond Sausages, claims the new product is "game-changing for the ham market."
In addition to the TV ad, the campaign will feature a sampling campaign running across Asda and Tesco stores throughout the summer.
The sampling will include farmer-themed sampling bars and stands, which will offer shoppers the chance to try the cooked ham.
Kerry Foods launched its Richmond brand into the cooked ham category in the UK in May.
The Irish food manufacturer claims the product is the UK's first cooked ham made with 100% natural ingredients.

Some questions before downgrading to 7xxx series cards.
Currently I'm using 8400GS cards, which (still) have the performance issue. While the driver is getting better compared to last year version, but compiz animation still jerky and stutter specially if I have more than 3 or 4 windows opened. I've tried using all suggestion in any thread I can found (something like adjusting the PixmapCacheRoundSize, nopat, xorg.conf), but still no go.
Well... after years waiting for the perfect driver, now I give up and consider downgrading my 8400GS to 7xxx series card, possibly the 7200GS or 7300GS (it cost about $23-25 in my country).
Before I buy this cards, I need suggestion and input from you, because, I don't want to have the same experience as with the 8400GS
. I have some questions about 7200GS/7300GS:
Do these cards support 1680x1050 resolution?
Do these cards have same performance issue as the 8xxx series?
Do these cards have any existing problems?
Do these cards able to run compiz's effects smoothly?
Do these cards able to run compiz's blur effect smoothly?
Do these cards able to run Warcraft TFT? (I only play DotA, occasionally
These is my rig specs:
Q6600 @2.4Ghz
Intel DP35DP
I appreciate your time giving any input and suggestion. Thank you.

text: Is this the Nexus 5 by LG? Rafael Morales 16 March, 2013 10 Comments First, let me say this is something that should be taken with a heavy grain of salt. The photo above shows a supposed Nexus 5 prototype made by Nexus 4 manufacturer, LG. That is right ladies and gentlemen. The Nexus 5. According to an anonymous and unverified source, this is a prototype Nexus 5 device made by LG at the request of Google. Apparently the search giant has requested a prototype Nexus 5 from various manufacturers for their next Nexus. Unverfied information by this source, who claims to work for Google, says the device is codenamed "Megalodon" and is expected for an October debut this year. The rumored specs for this device are as follows: 5.2″ OLED Display with 1920×1080 resolution Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 @ 2.3 GHz 3GB LPDDR3 Ram 16/32/64GB of internal storage 16MP rear camera by OmniVision (4k video recording @30FPS, 1080p video recording @60FPS, Real Time HDR & HDR video recording, optical image stabilization, BSI 2.0) 2.1MP front camera (1080p video recording @30FPS) 3300 mAh Lithium Polymer battery Front positioned stereo speakers Qualcomm RF360 (LTE 150 Mbps & HSPA+) Integrated DVB-T / ATSC-antenna Gesture like controls (navigation, zoom, etc) As you can see, some of the hardware mentioned isn't even available yet. With Qualcomm expecting their Snapdragon 800 series processor to be used in mobile device around Q4, this has a high possibility of being a ruse. Most of the specs relate to announcements made at CES this year so again take this with a grain of salt. If this device does turn out to be real will you twait to get a new device or just go after HTC's and Samsung's flagship phones? Let me know in the comments below. Source: AndroidandMe Nick D The specs in phones are getting a bit ridiculous now. How far will it go? After all, it just needs to be able to make calls! FILA haha. if you feel that way you shouldnt be on this site, go back to your 2001 NOKIA. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I miss those days really. Snake!! being the addicting game FILA This is pretty slick specs, but way to early to hear or believe any of this. Especially the TV tuner, lol I do wish our phones were like Japans, with a TV tuner in them. But some things are a must for the Nexus 5… 1080p 4.7 inch screen or a few mm bigger 32GB of space atleast! please! Bigger battery Faster Processor to keep on top the game for a few months better speakers, hopefully these HTC style front facing amp speakers Better camera by far FILA Oh and I meant to say. The Snapdragon 800 processor is already being used by the ZTE Grand Memo. So not sure why HTC and Sammy even going with the 600. naiden you are wrong,zte is confirmed that is an apq8064 procesor on board of Grand Memo FILA ok, we are both right. China gets the APQ8064 while Europe gets the Snapdragon 800. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/zte-grand-memo-hands-on-snapdragon-800/ shinpoo All I know is I want one PJMAN2952 I won't get any phone that is bigger than 4.8 inches. vdweerd I hope the battery is exchangeable. I Always like to have a spare battery with me. And, most impoprtant: I hope it has a decent zoom for photos / videos.

What's In... Peter Schmeichel's Sony Xperia Z2
Published on Jul 4, 2014 5:00 AM
Peter Schmeichel may have made his name in football but he is more often to be found on a golf course these days.
Now 50 and retired from the beautiful game, the man voted the World's Best Goalkeeper in 1992 and 1993 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics said: "I have no interest in playing football any more, so golf is a very good substitute. It's a game that will challenge you every time you hit the ball, as you have to account for various factors on the course. Most of my best friends are playing golf too, so there's a big social element to it as well."
Though he no longer plays football, it was his dream to do so when he was growing up. It was tougher to become a pro footballer then, he said.
"The mentality was that you couldn't make a living as a football player. But it was all I wanted to do, so I had to convince my parents, my teachers, everyone I came across."
A Manchester United ambassador, Schmeichel also represents other brands including Carlsberg. He is its global ambassador for the Uefa European Championship.
He said he was pleased with Manchester United's current line-up, but would like the club to sign certain players. "There's a few that would be a good fit. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one. I'd also like to see (Cristiano) Ronaldo back, but I don't think that's going to happen."
One of the high points in his remarkable career was the Danish team's victory in the 1992 UEFA European Football Championship. "For a small country such as Denmark, that's completely unheard of and it hasn't happened since," he said.
He was part of the Manchester United team that won the treble in the 1998-1999 season. Under former manager Alex Ferguson, the team not only topped the English Premier League, but also took the FA Cup and the Uefa Champions League trophy.
Schmeichel said of Sir Alex: "My relationship with him is still very good. We won the Champions League together and we have a lot of mutual respect from working together for many years."
Although he has played for other teams, including Aston Villa and Manchester City, when he speaks of Manchester United, he says "we".
Of its newly appointed manager, Louis van Gaal, he was cautiously optimistic. "It's gonna be interesting to see if he can steer the ship and bring us back to where we want to be. I think he's got all the credentials - at the very least, he's got experience and direction, which is important," he said.
Fans can now catch him in action on BBC's Match of the Day and Sky Sports as a football analyst.
Once in a while, he also appears at events. In Denmark, he hosts TV programmes.
He travels constantly for work but says he does not mind it.
"The jobs I get are very exciting and I get to meet people from around the world. I want to keep doing that for a long time."
In parting, he had this advice for aspiring goalkeepers: "Goalkeeping is very individual, it's a style. The best thing I can say is to always work hard, that's the most important thing. Listen to your coach, work hard and never cut corners."

I have been using Twitter for work since it started. It's great as a source of quick information. If there's something that grabs my attention, I will look to other social media networks for more in-depth information.
I have a lot of football apps and live scoring apps to keep me constantly updated on matches, and this is one that I frequently use.
Because I travel with Scandinavian Airlines most often, I use this app a lot to book and check in whenever

Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith Discusses Potential Tour With Will Ferrell
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith took part in a chat and discussed the possibilities of a 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' anniversary and Will Ferrell tours.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith took part in a chat and discussed the possibilities of a 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' anniversary and Will Ferrell tours.
Many were suspecting another Chad Smith / Will Ferrell "drum off," but what they got was an all-star jam featuring the look-alikes with some big time rockers.
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith is ready for a potential second drum-off with Will Ferrell in Seattle.
Though it never evolved, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard had a '90s jazz improv group called Cease and Desist.
Metallica drummer has accepted the Will Ferrell-Chad Smith drummer challenge.
If you thought the epic Chad Smith-Will Ferrell feud was settled with that drum-off on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' last month, think again.
According to Will Ferrell, Lars Ulrich's identity gets mixed up with both himself and Chad Smith, thus, a new drum battle must take place.
The drum-off between funnyman Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith has been months in the making, and while the copious trash talk between the two has been entertaining to say the least, it's time to get down to business.
The names of several harder-edged bands have surfaced over the years as having music being used by the CIA to break down terror suspects, but it was a little bit surprising last week when a new report revealed that Red Hot Chili Peppers music was used on loop as a tactic by the CIA.
Last week actor Will Ferrell was an Internet sensation with his hilarious claim that he was actually Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, something many have debated over for many years due to their uncanny physical similarities. The actor-comedian made his confession during an infamous Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' (AMA) session resulting in Smith offering up his own video in response, challenging Ferrell to a drum battle.
Conspiracy theorists, you've just earned one point in the win column. It's been debated for years that comedy legend Will Ferrell is actually Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Such claims have been labeled as ludicrous, but surprisingly enough, the actor known as Will Ferrell has just come out admitting that he is, in fact, Chad Smith.
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith may be known for his playful spirit and sense of humor but it seems that in Brazil, some things are not to be joked about. The drummer has been feeling the heat since having some fun with soccer fans at a recent appearance.

Continuous diagnostics and mitigation tools are becoming a regular feature of federal agencies' thought processes as the cross-government cyberthreat mitigation effort evolves, according to officials in charge of implementing the programs.
Agencies seeking to catch cyberthreats in real time and increase situational awareness before problems cause damage are beginning to internalize the development of CDM capabilities, said Margie Graves, deputy CIO at the Department of Homeland Security, during a Feb. 20 panel discussion sponsored by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management.
The added consideration is the result of upfront communication and collaboration among agencies, and a willingness to increase the ability to handle a fluid threat environment, she said.
It's a cultural shift for agencies accustomed to security checklists and formal reviews, Graves said, and the challenge is made doubly hard by technological game-changers such as mobile, cloud computing and open data.
Agencies have already begun implementing the initial phase of the CDM effort under blanket purchase agreements FEDSIM released last summer, said Steve Viar, director of the General Services Administration's Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM).
GSA is DHS' partner in offering CDM products across government. DHS oversees development of overall agency requirements for cyber defense gear and services, while GSA oversees procurement, operation and maintenance of the electronic diagnostic sensors that federal agencies will deploy on their networks to detect cyber intrusions, and the electronic dashboards that accumulate and analyze that data.
Viar said the release of additional contracts for dashboards that will collect intrusion data is imminent. The dashboards will provide summary information from participating agencies that will feed into a central federal-level dashboard.
Graves and Viar said the dashboards are crucial elements in the growing acceptance of CDM at federal agencies. The ability to address cyber intrusions and attacks in real time is a big improvement over agencies' older practice of documenting and cataloging intrusions and then going back to correct problems in a three-year review cycle.

WEST POINT - The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers claimed a 58-52 victory over the Oak Hill Lady Raiders in what turned out to be a closely-contested game.
In the end, Starkville Academy outscored the Lady Raiders by six to continue its perfect season. The Lady Vols improved to 7-0.
Since the day Dan Mullen took over as the head coach of Mississippi State, winning the Egg Bowl against rival Ole Miss has been top priority.
Mullen calls the Egg Bowl 'the most important game of the year' for the Bulldogs. He has stoked the fires a couple of times trying to get the rivalry relevant.
Mississippi State is looking to make history today and give head coach Rick Ray his first win over a ranked opponent.
The Bulldogs (1-1) battle the No. 11, by the Associated Press, North Carolina Tar Heels (3-0) in the Maui Invitational.
Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN2.
The Bulldogs are 0-5 all-time against the Tar Heels.
Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer said his team continues to take "baby steps" this season as it learns to grow and improve.
Those next steps take place in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, at the Hardwood Tournament of Hope.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs were in bad need of a victory, and they got one in convincing fashion on Saturday.
The Bulldogs rallied from behind to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks 45-14 at Davis Wade Stadium to stop a three-game losing streak and a three-game losing skid to the Razorbacks.
There is a reason special teams is called special.
Sometimes that particular unit can ignite a fire for a football team that can be a momentum changer.
That was the case Saturday for the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium.
Benardrick McKinney recovered a fumbled punt with 10:30 remaining in the fourth quarter with MSU down 14-7.
Execution was the word of the day for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs were clicking, especially in the second half, during a 45-14 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs have put together quite an amazing season in the passing department.
Several passing records fell during MSU's 45-14 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.
It was an emotional win for the MIssissippi State Bulldogs, especially for 25 seniors.
The Bulldogs sent the seniors out on a high note as they beat Arkansas 45-14 Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium on senior day.
MSU honored a special Bulldog before the game. The late Nick Bell was supposed to be a part of the senior class, but he lost his battle to cancer a little over two years ago.
The Starkville High School football team is once again one step closer to Jackson.
It is a familiar place for the Yellowjackets after they beat the Oxford Chargers 28-7 Friday night in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs at Yellowjacket Stadium.

The WP shock for the GS was an option straight from the factory ("sport suspension" I believe it was called) so a good number of bikes out there have them. They became standard on the GS Basic and Kalahari models as the factory was using up leftover stock. They look like this:
Something similar is still available new from HPN as well as other vendors in Europe. WP USA really only seems to support KTM dirt bikes, so I wouldn't even bother with them. WP UK appears to have a wider offering so maybe check with them to see what's available. I just put a WP shock on my ST and though I haven't ridden it yet, it does feel VERY nice.
WP UK lists two shocks for the R100GS, a nicer reservoir shock and an emulsion shock: 17.06.M7.64/01 and 17.06.M9.64/01 respectively. Try asking WP USA if they can get those part numbers.

The mind body benefits of hypnosis therapy are widespread. This popular and sometimes misunderstood method of holistic healing helps you create positive results in all aspects of your life.
If thoughts of being hypnotized conjure up images of someone dangling a pocket watch in front of you while chanting, "You are getting sleepy", you may want to give this well-documented technique another look. This therapy has the potential to help you release excess weight, stop smoking, improve self-esteem, reduce stress and a achieve whole host of other goals you may have. Medically, it is used to help people recover from surgery with less pain, to speed healing, and to ease the side effects of chemotherapy.
During hypnosis therapy you are guided into a relaxed state so that your subconscious mind is open to accepting new suggestions and programming.
As you relax, brain waves slow. This is one of the main benefits of hypnosis. With slower brain waves come a heightened state of concentration or focus. You are very aware of the visualization and suggestions being made and are highly receptive to them.
A state of focused awareness feels as though you are more of an observer of thought and images instead of a part of them. Suggestions are able to bypass the ever vigilant amygdala, or gatekeeper, at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious where they are delivered to these levels of consciousness directly.
These suggestions, implanted as images and words, help you let go of old negative or limiting patterns, beliefs and feelings, some of which you aren't even aware of, and replace them with positive and affirming suggestions that are aligned with what you want. It is much like overwriting an outdated computer program.
Working with the superconscious mind in this way also opens you to new insights and creative ideas.
Hypnotherapists may regress patients into childhood and past lives in order to find the cause of present day troubles and belief systems. Some people want to experience regression because they are curious about their forgotten pasts. Even if you don't believe in reincarnation, what comes up during a session may serve as a metaphor for what is causing you to think and behave in certain ways.
If you had a traumatic early life or have mental health concerns, do not regress except under the personal guidance of an experienced medical hypnotherapist. Medical hypnosis is recognized by the American Medical Association as an effective alternative medicine modality.
There is a lot of myth around being hypnotized. Some people fear it because they think they will lose control and they will do something they don't want to do. They envision barking like a dog or telling someone they married the man on the moon with no memory of the event. We can thank stage hypnosis for these common beliefs.
Stage hypnosis is done for entertainment using highly suggestible volunteers. My son, the eager to please extrovert, volunteered once. He doesn't remember the experience, but from what his friends told us his actions were good for a few laughs.
For hypnosis benefits, the entrancement we are talking about happens at common alpha level of mind we all experience throughout the day. When you are lost in a daydream while driving, you are basically mesmerized. You enter a deep hypnotic state daily as you fall asleep and just as you wake up.
The next time you are deeply engrossed in work or a movie, notice how you are aware of nothing else. This is the light alpha state. In order to achieve the benefits of hypnosis, you must be in alpha or an even slower brain wave frequency.
Another myth is that someone hypnotizes you. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You are fully in charge of the experience whether you are using self hypnosis techniques or working with a therapist in a live session. You cannot be entranced against your will.
You may allow yourself to enter deeper levels of mind as you gain trust in the process and the practitioner. As you gain confidence and trust in the process and the person you are working with, it becomes easier to enter a hypnotic state quickly.
When you are in a state of deep suggestibility, you are also in a state of deep concentration. What is suggested bypasses the intellectual barriers of the left brain and make their way into the creative right brain. When your brain absorbs what the hypnotist says, the words will begin to guide your behavior.
You can end a session any time simply by opening your eyes.
Another common misperception is that you only have to be hypnotized once to make permanent changes. Sometimes this is the case, but for lasting positive changes, hypnosis suggestions need to be repeated several times until your mind accepts and runs the new programming. Clients often get audios after a session so they can continue to experience further benefits of hypnosis therapy at home.
A session usually consists of three parts.
The induction consists of words, phrases and imagery that guide your attention into focused awareness of your inner world. Although relaxation isn't essential, you may be asked to visualize a relaxing scene. This is where the progressive relaxation and the familiar ten-to-one count down occur. If you are working with a hypnotherapist, a touch may be used to deepen the induction.
The second stage is the hypnosis experience itself. It is at this stage that you have access to the subconscious and superconscious mind as appropriate and where the benefits of hypnosis are gained. You will listen to statements and may be asked to visualize, or go through guided imagery meditation. Your attention may be directed to a part of your body, an issue or a memory. How long this stage lasts and what is said or done will vary based on the purpose of your session.
The last stage is emergence, a simple five-to-one count with direct suggestions that guide you to your normal conscious state. The emergence is usually quite brief.
These are the three parts of a hypnosis script. Scripts are also often used for guided visualization, imagery, relaxation and meditation, but these techniques may not include all three stages.
If you are interested in trying self hypnosis techniques, choose a written script or write your own. Written scripts geared to your specific benefits of hypnosis therapy are readily available on-line at reasonable prices and sometimes for free.
Be sure the script includes all three stages. Write the affirmations you will instill in your subconscious to be read in the second stage. Read the script into a recorder using a calm, steady drone-like voice. Then, find a quiet place to sit or lay down, relax and close your eyes. Play back your recording.
You may have success using your own voice, but generally people respond better when guided by a trained professional.
One of the benefits of hypnosis therapy from an expert is that whether live or by audio, they know how to guide you and modulate the voice to enhance your experience. They know how to craft and play with words in a way that makes them more likely to affect your subconscious mind the way you want them to.
Many reasonably priced hypnosis audios are available on-line in a great variety of topics. Try out free or low-priced downloads from different sources to see who you is the best match for you.
Purchasers of Dr. Rick Levy 's book, Miraculous Health, get free access to professional hypnosis downloads conducted by him. The sessions correspond to t lessons about using mind power, hypnosis for healing, and scripts in the book. This is a real bargain.
I have to admit that the first few times I listened to the recordings, I had control issues and did not go very deep. I was aware that I could have opened my eyes at any time and wasn't feeling open to suggestion. I thought hypnosis wasn't for me.
It was a pleasant surprise to realize this wasn't true. Once the doctor earned my trust and I became familiar with the self hypnosis techniques, the process became comfortable and it was easier to quiet my monkey mind and accept his instructions. I now find it quite enjoyable to experience the benefits of hypnosis through audios.
I highly recommend that if you are mentally healthy you give audio hypnosis therapy from a reliable practitioner a try. You are likely to be pleased with the positive changes hypnosis helps you achieve.

A final report into the 1 January 2007 crash of an Adam Air Boeing 737-400 in Indonesia has determined that the aircraft plunged into the sea from cruise after the pilots became preoccupied with an inertial reference system (IRS) malfunction and lost control.
The airline, which last week was grounded for safety violations, is also criticised for not providing adequate training to its pilots and for not taking numerous IRS faults in its 737 fleet seriously enough. Indonesia's aviation regulator is also criticised in the report for deficiencies in its oversight of the airline.
Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) issued its final report today following a long-running investigation that was made difficult by the limited amount of wreckage that was recovered and the fact that the digital flight data recorder (DFDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) were not retrieved from the sea bed for nearly nine months, until late in August.
The 737, registered as PK-KKW, was operating as domestic flight DHI574 on 1 January last year between Surabaya and Manado when it disappeared from radar after cruising at 35,000ft (10,668m). On board were 102 passengers and crew, all of whom were killed in the crash. The first pieces of wreckage were only found nine days after the aircraft disappeared.
In its final report, the NTSC cites repeated errors by the crew in the flight's final moments and criticises the airline for not providing its pilots with adequate training to prevent what happened from occurring.
"The CVR revealed that both pilots were concerned about navigation problems and subsequently became engrossed with troubleshooting inertial reference system anomalies for at least the last 13min of the flight, with minimal regard to other flight requirements," it says.
The DFDR analysis showed the aircraft was cruising with the autopilot engaged when the captain noticed there was a navigation problem between the two IRS', "specifically a significant difference in distance", says the NTSC.
The crew then set the number two, or right, IRS mode selector unit to "attitude" mode and the autopilot disengaged, after which the aircraft began a slow roll to the right. However there were limited attempts by the pilots to take corrective action – even after a "bank angle" alert sounded as the aircraft's roll exceeded 35° right.
"The DFDR data showed that roll rate was momentarily arrested several times, but there was only one significant attempt to arrest the roll. Positive and sustained roll attitude recovery was not achieved. Even after the aircraft had reached a bank angle of 100°, with the pitch attitude approaching 60° aircraft nose down, the pilot did not roll the aircraft's wings level before attempting pitch recovery in accordance with standard operating procedures," says the report.
"The aircraft reached 3.5g, as the speed reached Mach 0.926 during sustained nose-up elevator control input while still in a right bank. The recorded airspeed exceeded Vdive (400 kcas), and reached a maximum of approximately 490 kcas just prior to the end of recording."
It says that around 20sec before the end of the recorded data, the aircraft suffered a "significant structural failure" due to speeds that were beyond the 737's design limitations, but by that time it was already in a "critically uncontrollable state".
"This accident resulted from a combination of factors, including the failure of the pilots to adequately monitor the flight instruments, particularly during the final 2min of the flight," says the NTSC.
"Preoccupation with a malfunction of the inertial reference system diverted both pilots' attention from the flight instruments and allowed the increasing descent and bank angle to go unnoticed. The pilots did not detect and appropriately arrest the descent soon enough to prevent a loss of control."

I don't know if she is going to keep riding her own bike. Seemed like she was really getting into it, zooming around and enjoying it. She was really enjoying riding.
She's done fine in the courses as they are repetitious exercises, they show you what to do first and then you and everyone else in the class repeats it. She does great in that but it seems like the infinite variations of the real world are too much.
I don't think it would have mattered if she was riding first or if I was first, if you brake & turn like that going from pavement to dirt, you are going to go down whether you are the 1st, 2nd or 15th rider. And this was only right up the road from where one of our kids lives. He lives on one dirt side road, this was a different dirt side road. He wasn't in town at the time but we left her bike at his house. The only bike damage was a scuff on her topcase. Didn't even break a turn signal or lever.
She wears her gear and has never had any significant speed in any of these dirt crashes, but somehow manages to get banged up once a year. OTOH though she has had stall/drops on pavement, she's never been injured there. Maybe she just needs to stay on pavement which would be too bad since she likes the wild and scenic dirt roads.
Advanced pancreatic cancer found 04/2010. Have outlived +/- 97% of patients with this diagnosis, but 08/2013 cancer now in liver, vascular system and lungs with 20+ lung tumors. Sick/weak sometimes, not riding much. No more treatments & now under Hospice care.

Hey! I am 31yrs old and already have two children, 10 & 6, I am now expecting our 3rd little surprise! But this time I have Lupus/Sjogrens, I was diagnosed last year. No serious issues, mainly fatigue and some dry mouth and minor joint pains from time to time.
Has anyone had this experience? My Rheumatologist has said that since I carry the SSA antibody that it increases the risk of heart block in the baby. My other two children are very healthy, besides a few allergies but nothing serious. I'm just wondering how much this should concern me, I guess. It's a little scary when you look it up.

The HH Coaches always advocate doing cross training in other sports or exercise that stress various parts of the body and cardio work that builds up strength and endurance for our dragon boat paddling teammates.
When the 2015 Chevron Houston Half & Full Marathons were held recently, some of our Houston Heat members who have been training vigorously for running these distances finally completed their journeys. There was a great sense of pride from their colleagues and coaches for their dedicated training and perseverance in completing what they had set out to do.
Kudos and some well-deserved rest are in store for Linda Heth, Graham Everett, Jackson Lau, Yu Min Liu, Ernesto Rodriguez and Luis Perez for taking on the Full Marathon while Mike Nguyen (no training) and Joel Castaneda did the Half Marathons and Linda Fox ran a 5K (too short in comparison!).
We're all excited that the dragon boat off season training has been going on so well for some of our members but we all need to ramp it up in the near future as the competitive juices start flowing again as we prepare against the other DB teams.
It's almost time to Heat It Up again!
(Picture credits go out to: Joel Castaneda, Mike Nguyen, Jackson Lau)

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel's Foreign Ministry denied a Belgium minister's request to visit the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reported Sunday evening.
At a meeting Sunday morning in Jerusalem, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon told International Development Minister Charles Michel that Hamas uses visits by senior diplomats to bolster its international status.
"Your visit would only bolster Hamas and legitimize it," the deputy prime minister explained. We deny such requests "to prevent Hamas from using these visits in a detrimental way."
Michel argued that Belgium funds projects in the Strip, vis-à-vis two U.N. agencies, and he should be allowed to visit.
"It's not normal that access to Gaza is denied a minister whose country is funding projects there," Michel said in a press statement.
"You're in good company," Ayalon said. "The French foreign minister [Bernard Kouchner] and a Turkish minister [FM Ahmet Davutoglu] were also denied a permit to visit Gaza."
Ayalon assured Michel that no humanitarian crisis exists in Gaza.
"The humanitarian aid reaches Gaza, from food to medicine - all the way to windowpanes," Ayalon said. "Political visits, however, are prohibited," he said.
During the Olmert administration, a number of senior foreign officials, including U.S. Senator John Kerry, E.U. Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana, and Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, visited Gaza, as did U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The Jerusalem Post and Ynet contributed to this report.

Masters Program Grant or Scholarship

I am looking to enroll in an online Masters Program - Educational Media Design & Technology. However, I am trying to find some type of grant, scholarship, or something to help pay for it. I am a teacher and really would like some extra funding to help pay the cost. Are there any grants and/or scholarships for educators/teachers? Besides those teaching in low-income areas or Title 1 schools.

Suicide of NSF with schizophrenia raises question of whether those with this serious affliction should enlist
Published on Apr 15, 2014 11:18 PM
Schizophrenia used to be thought of as a psychological disorder brought on by cold, uncaring mothers. But that was a terrible misconception because it is really an organic neurological disorder with psychological symptoms.
Because some brain circuitry is improperly tuned, the individual's thoughts are disconnected from reality. His inner world is altered, which is why his behaviour changes, depending on whether the disease is in a passive or acute phase.
During the passive stage, he may be socially withdrawn. He can't say how he feels, and fails to take care of himself. He may be anxious, depressed, even suicidal. At this stage, he may be easily misunderstood, appearing to others as a dishevelled, lazy good-for-nothing.
During an acute bout of schizophrenia, however, his bizarre behaviour will be unmistakable and may alarm those around him.

Background story
Lifelong brain disorder
A person with schizophrenia needs powerful drugs to keep his condition in check. He requires medication for life and is never cured. Acute bouts recur if he stops taking his medication when he feels better.

Recording and Production News
US Producer Ken "Duro" Ifill Uses Prism Sound's Orpheus To Create GRAMMY® Winning RecordsCambridge, UK: Internationally acclaimed six-time GRAMMY® award-winning producer and master mixer, Ken "Duro" Ifill, one of the three founders of US label Desert Storm Records, has invested in a Prism Sound Orpheus FireWire computer interface for his project studio in New Jersey.
Producer Ken "Duro" Ifill
"I discovered Prism Sound at Circle House Studios in Miami and when I decided to build a project studio, there was no doubt I would get an Orpheus," he says. "The sound is superior to any other converter that I had heard. Versus similarly configured rivals, it's like comparing a Bentley to a Ford Pinto."
Desert Storm Records was established in 1997 by Duro, Skane Dollar and DJ Clue?, a famous hip hop DJ who is a regular on air personality at New York's Power 105.1. The label, which was formerly distributed through Elektra Records and Atlantic Records, is currently distributed through Def Jam.
Duro's project studio incorporates a variety of high-end equipment including a Euphonics Artist Series Control Surface, Dangerous Monitor S and Genelec 1031A monitors. Duro is currently using the facility to mix projects with artists such as Desert Storm Records signing Fabolous, Kanye West's artist Big Sean, Pharrell Williams, Jennifer Hudson, and Jay Sean.
"The Prism Sound Orpheus has been a fantastic addition to my studio," Duro explains. "The amount of inputs and outputs it offers resolves all the issues I was having with flexibility when it came to integrating analog gear into my mixes. The level of detail that it reproduces in its conversions is incomparable and it works seamlessly. The audio that comes out of it is incredible. It makes my records sound huge."
Since installing Orpheus, Duro has used the interface on a number of projects including Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys and Jay-Z, which recently won two GRAMMYs.

Air vents and overheating and access to side ports
I am wondering if the macbook pro retina can be used in the thule gauntlet 2.0 case without it heating up. If it can be used in the case- is there a time limit due to heating up?
Are there any design provisions made for the air and heat vents on the side and back?
Also, when using the computer in the case is there room for accessories like cd-rom or usb to be plugged into the side port while using?
- Asked by Frank M from Glenside
Thule Gauntlet 2.0 Attache Case for MacBook Pro
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
The outside of the case has a contoured design that allows for airflow under and around the computer while in use. However, with the precise fit of the MacBook there is no way to access the ports while it is in the case.

ArmyJoe's Perpetual Picture Thread
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
- The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. TolkienI've always had a bit of wanderlust. Even as a kid, I remember jumping on my bicycle and just exploring. To me, a bike meant freedom and I was lucky to live in an era when nobody had to worry about their kids. Every dirt path became an "Indian trail." Scraps of wood were misappropriated to become clubhouses. But you have to eventually grow up. Right?
I joined the Army right out of High School. My mode of transportation changed, but I still had the wanderlust. I traveled a lot by myself, often taking pictures of my foot in famous places to document my journeys. The best thing about the Army was that it gave me the opportunity to meet a beautiul woman. We got married, settled down, and had children. Damn, kids really put a damper on freedom. But you have to eventually grow up. Right?
Well, it took a long time (20+ years), but we're finally at a point in our lives where we have the time and resources to have some fun again. I re-joined the Army Reserve after an 18-year break in service. The wife bought a motorcycle; I bought two. You know what I discovered? Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
The Yamaha WR250R is the perfect bike for me. It's like an oversized mountain bike, but will allow me to go anywhere I want to go. I've only been riding on two wheels about 18 months, but I lost 13 months to a deployment in Southwest Asia. In the remaining 5 months, I've managed to put 2600 miles on my little bike. In that time, I've joined other ADVriders on three occasions and had a blast.
Stealing the idea from others, I thought it would be interesting to start a thread so I can track my adventures. Hopefully, I can look back in a few years and see how bad I was or how far I've progressed. If I'm really lucky, my kids will find this thread some day and say, "Damn, dad was cool back in the day." :lol3
September 3, 2011 - The adventure begins

First solo gravel ride. First bent lever. First time running out of gas.
I had a nice (and eventful) ride down to Zaleski State Forest. The temps were in the 40s, so I wore my snowboarding pants. They worked great. I was pressed for time, so I didn't take a lot of pictures. Unbeknownst to me, the route I planned took me on some nice gravel roads.
The first stop was Hope Furnace to get tag photo location. As you can see from the picture, I bent my clutch lever. Coming down SR 278, I saw a red fox on the side of the road. As I was turning around to get a picture, I dropped it. :cry
From there, I hit the gravel roads and headed over to Moonville tunnel. The new construction tells me they're finally putting in the rail trail to Athens. The water was high, so I couldn't walk across the rocks to the tunnel, so I had to settle for a long distance photo.
Back on the road, I headed past Lookout Rock towards the Mineral tunnel. The route I mapped took me down a closed road. I rode to the end anyway, saw the bridge was blocked with boulders, and backtracked the way I came. Coming at the tunnel from the other direction, I found a short bit of muddy singletrack that took me to the former rail bed. It was pretty cool riding through the old tunnel.
Looking east:
Showing some sticker love:
I was running late, so I hauled ass for home. On the way, I discovered if I'm doing 70-80 MPH, I can get 27 miles from the time the low fuel indicator comes on until I run out of gas. Luckily, the bike is light and I was a mile from a gas station.
Got home just in time to take the wife to Applebees for our Veterans Day meals.
October 23, 2011
I had my first get-off today while exploring a trail along some rail road tracks. As the saying goes, everything was going along just fine until I ran out of talent. I hit a spot along a slope and one of my tires wandered off the trail or the gravel broke loose. The bike toppled downhill and me with on it. Luckily (and I mean that sarcastically), I didn't fall far because my right leg was pinned between the bike and a log.
After extracting myself and taking pictures, I got the bike upright. It was a struggle since I had to start from below horizontal and I'm glad I didn't have a bigger bike. After getting it up, I walked it back up to the trail while feathering the clutch and then rode out.
Nothing is broke, but there's a little swelling on the left side of my shin (still riding in jeans since I can't afford gear). The timing sucks because I have to drive to Quantico, Virginia next Sunday to run a 3K. I'll spend the rest of the day on the couch with a bag of frozen corn, some boo-boo candy (ibuprofen), and some shit my wife uses after Army Combatives, called dit da jow.
Since I was alone, I took my own pics:
Glad that's finally out of the way. :D
UPDATE: When I originally posted that, I wasn't aware of the damage I had caused to my leg. As it turned out, I had a bit of nerve damage that caused a 2" by 4" numb spot on the inside of my right calf. It's slowly coming back, but even now (May 2013) it's still not 100%.
March 23, 2013 - Back from Deployment!
First time on unmaintained roads. First failed creek crossing. First successful creek crossing. Fun all around.

Second solo gravel ride. 167 miles down to Tar Hollow State Forest and back. I found a few gravel roads and a bunch of renegade / unmarked trails. I explored as much as time allowed. Some photos:
That's always a good sign:
Power line trails:
Wildflowers in bloom:
Tall pines in Tar Hollow:
If anyone is interested, here's the route. The black roads are asphalt and the green roads are gravel.
May 10, 2013
First stop at Peggy Sue's. First attempt at a log crossing. First thunderstorm.
Failed log crossing. The log crossed the road at an angle and I didn't have enough speed to cary me over.
Somewhere on US-62 in Knox County with the storm clouds rolling in.
Batten down the hatches!
May 15, 2013 - Perry State Forest
I went offroad for the first time. Perry State Forest is the site of a reclaimed strip mine. In addition to the marked trails. there's a lot of renegade trails that transition between rugged woodland and barren terrain. I did not realize how tiring poor form can be. I have a lot of work to do.
In terms of chronology, the second video should be spliced in at the 11 minute mark of the first one, but it was so epic, I thought it deserved it's own video.

Well done sir !
Keep it coming.
Friendly advice
Hey Joe, couldn't help but notice you sliding backwards down that steep hill. Here is my two cent advice to help you out. If you lean the bike to the right just a little and use the back brake, it will stop you from sliding back wards. Once you take off if you still leave a little pressure on the back brake (not a lot) it will give you more traction in going up a slick hill. Only do this when accelerating from a stop though. I discovered this works after getting in a really rough spot in the Rockies. If I hadn't done what I told you I probably wouldn't be here today. I can't even remember if somebody told me that little trick or I just learned it under severe duress, but I have done that back brake trick many times.
Appropriate beginning!
Enjoying the thread. I'll keep readin' if you keep postin'
Changed my first tire this morning. It only took about 90 minutes. In reality, it wasn't much harder than doing bicycle tires. The tools and techniques are the same.
I got 3300 miles out of the stock rear tire. The replacement is a Dunlop D606. The front still has some life, so I'm going to leave it for now. I'm kinda frugal.
Before and after:
Using the other tire as a work surface made it easy:
A floor jack helped to hold the tire and get it back into place:
After months of waffling, I finally made a decision in regards to saddle bags. I had really wanted aluminum cases, but could not find them (or make them) for a reasonable price. Instead, I went with the new Monarch Pass Saddle Bags. They have the same capacity as the Expedition Dry Saddle Bags, but at 75% of the cost. The lack of waterproofing is no concern. None of my backpacks are waterproof and I've managed to get by for years with the help of zip-lock bags.
I also mounted a new "top box." It looks like ass, but will let me pack the bulkier items (ie, sleeping bag, tent, etc) without concern.
If everything stays on track, I leave for Deals Gap on Sunday. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...pscab9f897.gif
Hey Joe, it's pretty cool I was along on your first ever ride!
Enjoy the Gap but watch out - that place gets pretty hairy on a holiday weekend. I had bikes coming at me over the centerline my last two trips through there.
Thanks for the picture. If memory serves, that's downtown Granville. You can see that my head is on a swivel whenever I go through these small towns.
My failure to account for the holiday weekend is making me rethink my plans. The trip down was always going to be two days (not enough stamina for 300+ mile riding days), but I really don't want to be on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Monday. Instead, I'm going to do my route counter-clockwise and save Virginia and West Virginia for Thursday and Friday.
thanks for pics and videos.

Best Fitting goggle!
I've worked in a ski/snowboard shop and have tried and owned many goggles and these by far are the best. No nose pinch and good peripheral. I used to wear the Oakley A-frames, but they don't fit so great with a helmet. These fit great with any helmet and i wear the Smith Holt. I got these with the fire lens and an extra H.I. yellow lens. Super easy to change out in comparison to the a-frames and crowbars.
