NVIDIA Fermi/Kepler GPUs Are The Best Bet For Ubuntu 14.04 Nouveau
In my testing of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the Linux 3.13 kernel and Mesa 10.1 for the open-source graphics driver stack provided by Nouveau for NVIDIA GeForce graphics hardware, only the Fermi and Kepler GPUs are running reliably. While these newer NVIDIA GPUs are running stable with Ubuntu 14.04, the performance is still a wreck due to lack of reclocking.

AMD Is Exploring A Very Interesting, More-Open Linux Driver Strategy
This week I was out at the Game Developer's Conference not with a focus on games but to learn about some changes they AMD currently pursuing for their Linux driver model. If this new Linux driver model goes through, the Catalyst Linux driver will be more open, but it's not without some risk. Read more in this Phoronix exclusive story.

Nouveau Drags Behind Intel & Radeon For Linux 2D Performance
While 3D/OpenGL is our primary focus of performance tests when it comes to graphics cards on Linux, it's always interesting to go back and check on the 2D performance as it's still important for the Linux desktop experience. The 2D performance is becoming interesting right now as well due to Intel's driver defaulting to SNA and GLAMOR acceleration being tried by some drivers for faster 2D over OpenGL. In this article we have some fresh 2D benchmarks of Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD graphics hardware running an updated open-source GPU driver stack on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Intel 2D GLAMOR vs. UXA vs. SNA On Ubuntu 14.04
With GLAMOR generating a lot of interest lately due to AMD's RadeonSI Gallium3D driver depending upon it and Intel driving lots of improvements into it now that it's been merged into the X.Org Server, here's some new benchmarks of Intel Haswell HD Graphics 2D performance of the latest Intel xf86-video-intel 3.0 pre-release on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS comparing the GLAMOR, UXA, and SNA acceleration architectures.

Radeon Open-Source Performance Over Three Years, Compared To Catalyst
Yesterday on Phoronix I published results showing the Radeon Gallium3D performance getting close to Catalyst for the Radeon HD 5000 series and newer GPUs that are supported by the mainline Catalyst driver. On the open-source side the hardware is supported by the R600 and RadeonSI (for the GCN hardware) Gallium3D drivers. Yesterday's results showed that on Ubuntu 14.04 for many OpenGL workloads the R600/RadeonSI Gallium3D drivers were now ~80% the speed of the proprietary Catalyst driver in many instances. While this is a great feat, how does it stand for older generations of AMD Radeon hardware? In this article are Radeon HD 4870 benchmarks looking at the performance of the open-source AMD Linux driver over three years of Ubuntu Linux releases and compared to the legacy Catalyst driver from 2011.

There will be plenty of adjustments for players as the NHL season starts. They'll have to face a shortened season, a shortened training camp and they'll have to get back in game shape fast. But for Shawn Thornton, the biggest adjustment is easy to understand: he hasn't been punched in the face for nine months. Thornton said the physical nature of the game will be the toughest adjustment to make after sitting at home since the 2011-12 season ended. Thornton was among the NHL players that chose not to play overseas. Thornton said it was tough to be away from the game and that he faced, "The ebbs and flows; the highs and lows." His first reaction to finding out from teammate Andrew Ference that the lockout was over was, "Thank god, it's about time." Watch the video above to hear the Bruins' enforcer talk to NESN's Naoko Funayama about the end of the lockout.

Behind the powerful play of Britney Griner the Lady Baylor Bears were expected to win the National title for the second year in a row. Sunday night the Louisville Cardinals put an end that with an incredible 82-81 win. The key to the game of course was taking Griner out of her game--something they managed to do very well. She did not record her first basket till the second half of the game!

UAB researchers say new findings show that a herpes simplex virus therapy may be beneficial in treating malignant gliomas.
The Benevolent Fund is UAB's primary vehicle for charitable giving, created by employees to help the community.
Robert J. Stanley, now professor emeritus, came to UAB as chair of the radiology department in 1982, serving in that role until his retirement in 2013.
Michael Saag, M.D., helped transform the deadliest virus in human history into a manageable chronic disease, and he is now receiving a top honor.
UAB's fourth-year medical students found out where they will do their residency training, and in what medical field, at the 2014 Match Day activities.
Check in with the UAB Gorgas Course in Clinical Tropical Medicine in Peru, where participants see different patients with different tropical diseases each day.
The UAB School of Medicine will lead in the establishment of a national research consortium focused on the discovery of new and better drug therapies to treat viral infections.
ECMO, or extra corporeal membrane oxygenation, takes on the function of the heart and lungs by routing the patient's blood into the machine where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added.

For Daphne Walton and her family, dreams are coming true.
Habitat for Humanity members, Mississippi State University officials and family and friends of the Waltons gathered Tuesday at 276 Steadman Lane to dedicate the fourth Maroon Edition home and 50th Starkville area Habitat home.
A Mississippi State University student reported missing last week is in custody of the Connell Police Department in Connell, Wash., after he was charged Saturday with second degree assault and possession of an unlawful weapon for allegedly threatening a police officer with a shotgun.
Significant changes are coming to traffic at the heart of the Mississippi State University campus to accommodate a new building that will combine a parking garage at its bottom with classrooms on upper floors.
The Starkville Board of Aldermen will consider approval of the Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority's annual budget at its 5:30 p.m. meeting today at City Hall.
Rudy Johnson, Golden Triangle Planning and Development District's executive director, gave his blessing Monday for Oxford-based urban planning firm Slaughter & Associates to handle developing a comprehensive plan for Oktibbeha County.
Supervisors could approve the agreement at their first meeting in December.
Starkville Police Department is searching for a man wanted in connection with three recent armed robberies targeting pizza delivery drivers in Starkville.
SPD identified the man in a release as 28-year-old Carlo Shepherd and stated his last known address as 20493 Old Houston Road in Aberdeen. He is described as a black male of approximately 5 feet and 10 inches in height.
A 20-year old Mississippi State University student is in custody in Franklin County, Wash. after allegedly threatening to shoot a police officer during a traffic stop.

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Starkville School District recently became the sixth school district in Mississippi to earn the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 6 Cent Certification, giving the SSD's child nutrition program 6 cents for every meal it sells.
As leaders raise questions about the future of county education, local economic developers say the current situation casts doubt over one of the main quality-of-life issues companies examine when relocating.
Weak school systems, they say, create an under-developed workforce, which then limits what kinds of jobs Oktibbeha County can attract.

Popular holiday hang-outs
IBEJU-LEKKI is also known as the Eko Tourist Resort. Situated Km 22 on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, about 35 minutes drive from Lagos, the Eko Tourist Resort has chalets and a large conference hall on 10 acres, with more than a kilometre of clean beach. Other facilities include a homely restaurant that serves Nigerian, continental and Asian food, round-the-clock security with a Nigerian police post right inside the resort.
Lekki Beach:
This very popular beach is only a few kilometres from the city centre along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. It is possible to hire a beach shelter made of palm fronds and set up a picnic or barbecue. Lekki Beach is right at the roundabout just past Ilasan Housing Estate.
Eleko Beach:
A few kilometres further along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Eleko Beach is also a popular weekend get-away for Lagosians. Expect to 'settle' some Area Boys in order to park your car. There are lots of eating joints and bars along the beach. Eleko Beach is about 45 minutes drive along the Lekki-Epe Expressway (turn right off the main road by the Total Filling Station). You have to pay around 100 naira to enter. This is perhaps the nicest public beach along the peninsula.
Tarkwa Bay:
A sheltered beach within the harbour breakwater. It is easily accessible by boat from Tarzan Jetty at Maroko (N1000 per person) or under Falomo bridge on Victoria Island. The beach is a pleasant outing and has safe bathing even for children. Deck chairs are available for hire and a variety of fruits (pineapples, coconuts, oranges and so on) to buy. Make sure you book your return time with the boat driver.
Tarkwa is a man made bay and beach created during the formation of the Lagos harbour. The beach was shaped by the moles used to form the inlet to the harbour and covered with sand dredged from the bottom of the channel. As a result, the water is a lot calmer than the exposed Atlantic coastline elsewhere around Lagos. The fine sand is also much more comfortable to walk and lie on than the coarse/sharp sand of the other beaches.
With its own resident community, most of whom make their living from the tourists who visit the beach, this is the only "maintained" beach in Lagos with the beach hands cleaning up the garbage every weekend before the influx of tourists. Also given the fact that it is cut off from the main habitations of Lagos by water and is therefore only accessible by boat, this makes it a beach for real beach bums and sun worshippers, in contrast to the other "bums and worshippers" that flock to the Bar Beach.
It is also possible to surf in a corner of Tarkwa Bay and other water sports such as Jet Skiing and Water Skiing are fairly common, although don't expect to find equipment there to rent! Make friends with the local nautical elites so you can use their water sports equipment.
This is wishing all our numerous readers a very prosperous, healthy and happy New Year!

High standard and did not disappoint
Where: London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London
What: Social Media for Fashion
by Lucy - January 2014
I think the course was very good value for money and met the criteria it described. The tutor was excellent and explained the content clearly and was engaging. He was happy to give students individual time to answer specific questions, and encouraged us to continue developing our skills outside of class and e-mail him with any queries. I felt that he put considerable effort into the preparation of the course and went above and beyond what I would have expected to ensure that the students' needs were met. As I was taking the course specifically for professional reasons, I was delighted to find that the course and tutor were both of a high standard and did not disappoint!

I want to go to the movies with a girl, my guy friends freak out every time I put my arm around them.
I am looking for a woman that I am confident that I can take in a fight, yet strong enough to carry me around when I am tired (on her back or like bundled like a baby, I don't have a preference).

She should be able to avoid eye contact, but not make conversation awkward and not get too close to my food while eating...OK, OK, if you have made it this far you are actually interested in reading these profiles, have a warped sense of humor, or your a little nuts... if either of the former cases fit you, you have deservedly made it to my actual profile below: I am a kind and honest person and looking for the same. I am a social person but I equally enjoy time reading and watching movies or just hanging out. I love to laugh and can find humor in just about anything. I am 45 years old, Armenian, Italian and Scots Irish. I am looking for kind, educated, intelligent woman (nothing is sexier than intelligence) with a sense of humor. The values that mean most to me are loyalty, honesty and kindness. To me kindness does not mean being just being nice, it means being selfless when it counts, having empathy...not just sympathy, and genuine love for people. I am a pretty quiet guy but will stand up for what or who I believe in. I find politics fascinating and am bit of a news junky (mainly via radio and internet...not TV). Sorry you conservative girls that thought they found their geeky fantasy soul mate...I am a die hard liberal. Though a liberal I am a fan of the 2nd amendment and am against most gun control (alright, so I just became the "scary guy"...tough :) ) Family is very, very important to me and there is nothing in this world that I love more than my three daughters. I love kids in general and if you have them that is just more points for you in my book. The music I like is varied: I mainly like "alternative music", and am particularly fond of the old goodies such as Sonic Youth, St. Vincent, Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles, Joy division, Nick Cave (and his various bands), Quickspace, Pixies, Talking Heads, Tones on Tail. Though I am not a big rock guy, one of my favorite bands of all time is Led Zeppelin. I also like the Blues, Blue Grass, World Music and Classical (minimalists like Philip Glass, Arvo Part Steve Reich, etc are particular favorites). I just got a banjo so if you end up dating me be prepared to be serenaded by a really, really bad banjo version of "Stair Way to Heaven" until I learn to play this thing. *Note: just kidding about the Stair Way to Heaven part....I hate that song I love books, mainly non-fiction (I am a total History geek) but also some fiction (after watching Game of Thrones on HBO I got the books...and loved them! (read them before you dare judge me)). I enjoy the arts especially Dance, the visual arts and poetry. If you are interested in an ambitious man, if one of the first things you look at in a profile is the income...pass me by. I have held a job since I was 13. I am blessed and make a reasonable amount of money at a job I have been at for 13 years. That said, if I lost my job and made half as much doing something that made me happy and would not negatively affect my family I would happily do it. My only ambition is happiness, contentment and to be a good person. We only have one life and chasing dollars is not how I want to spend mine. P.S. I selected "separated" as my status...but I am going through the long process of divorce. It is over. We are neither friends or enemies and have worked out all the details to our mutual satisfaction so there is no "drama" (every profile on here says they have no or want no "drama"...so there is my disclaimer stating that I have none)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Watching sports
Cycling, Football, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I have Birds, Dogs
I love dogs, I am a dog person totally and completely. I am not a bird person but I like mine...the ex wanted them...somehow I ended up with them (they are both conures).
Very Liberal
Spokeasy Public House
San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA
I love every girls favorite TV channels, The Military Channel and the History Channels. I also am a big fan of just about every HBO series, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Sopranos. Foods I like, Ethiopian, Med/Middle Eastern, Italian, Mexican
Read, have a beer with friends, go to the movies, eat out, travel, drive off the beaten track, For fun I play war games/chess with friends (not shootem up computer games...the even more geeky simulation games with large maps and little pieces).
William R. Trotters, Winter War (about the Winter War between Finland and Russia), I also just finished the Game of Throne books. Next up a book about the relationship between Roosevelt and Churchill...

The Budapest-Bamako or Great African Run is now the largest amateur rally in the world,[1] the largest rally across the Sahara [2] and an important charity car race in Africa. The Budapest-Bamako is a low-budget version [3] of the Dakar Rally and goes from Budapest, Hungary to Bamako, Mali through the Sahara. It passes through Hungary, Austria (or Slovenia), Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Mali.[4] The Budapest-Bamako was inspired by the Paris Dakar Rally. It promises a sense of adventure and the romance of Africa, much like the Paris-Dakar did in its early days. There are no entry restrictions. As long as a vehicle is street legal, it can join the event. The B2 also raises money and supplies for local communities and charities in Mali.
The event is the brainchild of Hungarian internet entrepreneur and former radio "shock jock" Géza Villám (real name Andrew Szabo) who wanted to give rally fans an option to the more expensive and stricter Dakar rally. He found no cheaper and more comfortable alternative to the Dakar so he created his own. After first envisioning a direct drive through the Sahara in Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali he opted for a safer and more scenic route around the Western rim of Africa.
On 26 December 2005, forty-two teams lined up in Budapest's Hősök tere for the inaugural run of the Budapest-Bamako. Two weeks later all but two teams arrived in Bamako's Place des Heroes (both meaning Heroes' Square in English). In 2007, over a hundred teams entered the race. Only ten of them did not cross the finish line.
In 2008, over 400 people in 160 vehicles entered the Great African Run. Among the more unusual vehicles were a 1961 Velorex, an Ikarus 435 articulated bus, an ice cream truck, a Dacia, a Wartburg and a Polish Fiat 126 driven by two Brits. The 2008 run started amid security fears a week after the cancellation of the Dakar Rally.[5] Several French and Spanish teams dropped out of the Bamako citing fears of terror in Mauritania. The run was completed without a hitch. The Mauritanian government assigned thousands of military and police officers to guard the event.
The touring category was lighter and simpler than in previous years. Teams in the touring category enjoyed events like the Annual Star Wars Theme Party on Planet Tatooine in Morocco, the Tropic of Cancer Party or the B2 Big Beach Party in Mauritania on a virgin beach, that has been named B2 Beach.
In 2009, the racing and the touring categories were completely separated. The race featured a lot more demanding course. There were stricter time controls and more sophisticated geo-challenges.
In 2010 edition of the rally was directed by four time Budapest-Bamako veterans, Andras Polgar and his brother Tamas. Less than 36 hours before the start the Mauritanian and Mali stages got cancelled after the Hungarian Foreign Ministry warned the Polgars of potential terror threats in Mauritania.[6] That year, the rally ended in Agadir.[7] Despite the changes in the official finish line forty one teams and over 25 tons of aid arrived in Bamako without incident after on February 1, 2010.
After the disappointing 2010 run, the organization of the Budapest-Bamako reverted to the founder of the event with the promise of returning to Mali in 2011.[8]
The 2011 rally ended successfully after teams completed one of the hardest editions of the rally. For the first time in its history the rally travelled through Senegal. Only 125 of the 160 teams finished and only 18 of the 40 race category teams crossed the finish line. [9]
In 2012 the finish line was the capital Guinea-Bissau. For the first time in the history of the rally Bamako was not the end stage. Drivers had to travel through Senegal once again.[10]
Organizers moved the finish line to Guinea-Bissau after a politically uncertain year in Mali. Hungary's anti-terror agency urged organizers to cancel because of the threat of kidnappings. The 2013 rally ended without incident. Out of the 142 teams only 89 crossed the finish line.[11]
Days before the start of the 2014 edition, organizer Andrew G. Szabo announced that the 2015 run will be the last Budapest-Bamako. Amid the continuing political instability in Mali and Guinea-Bissau the rally ended in Gambia. The capital, Banjul hosted the finish line ceremonies. The 2014 rally ended without incident. Out of the 145 teams 105 finished the race on time.
Three months before the start of the 2015 edition the Ministry Of Tourism in Mali ensured the Budapest-Bamako its continued supported in exchange for two more runs to Mali. Organizers announced that the rally will return to Bamako in 2016 and 2017 if the security climate permits. The 2015 rally started amid the West Africa Ebola crises of 2014/15.[12] Even though Mali become Ebola free just days before the rally started, the 2015 edition saw a record number of cancellations. Several members of the Mali Government welcomed the rally on February 1, 2015 in Bamako.[13] Out of the 124 departing teams 102 arrived in Mali. The event was held without incident. The competition was won by the Hungarian, Gumis Ember Team.
Some teams continue traveling, independently, after reaching Bamako; either driving back to Europe, or to a port such as Dakar, or driving to other places in Africa.
Philosophy and rules[edit]
The guiding principle of the Budapest-Bamako is: Anyone, By Anything, In Any Way. There are no restrictions on the vehicles or individuals that can enter. There are no road restrictions either. Participants have to complete daily stages between Budapest and Bamako. There are no set routes. Racers can plan and optimize their own route. It is not a timed event. Points are awarded for completing daily stages in certain time periods. In addition there are geocaching challenges along the way for additional points. If a team doesn't complete a stage they are still in the race. Cars do not have to arrive at the finish line, just participants. Teams can participate in racing or touring categories.
Usually, the race goes through the following countries (in start-finish order):
- Hungary
- Austria or Slovenia
- Italy
- France
- Spain
- Morocco
- Western Sahara
- Mauritania
- Mali
- Senegal
- Guinea-Bissau
Nearly 8,000 kilometers are covered within 15 days. The race should start in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, and end in Bamako, the capital of Mali.
Teams can enter in the competitive category where navigational points need to be reached and daily stages completed. It is a point race and not a timed event. In touring category teams travel at their own pace and there is no competition. In 2011 the Spirit category was added where old cars and bangers are may enter without having to pay entry fees.
The Budapest–Bamako is primarily a charity event, that brings direct donations to communities in Mali and Mauritania. Many teams are delegated by firms as part of the corporate social responsibility program. In 2008, Budapest Bank donated an ambulance car after it was driven from Budapest to Bamako. The Bayer Red Cross donated a minivan for the Institute for the Blind in Bamako after it was driven from Europe.
- In 2005, money was raised for a Bamako orphanage.
- In 2007, participants adopted villages on route and delivered supplies to that community.
- In 2008, teams dug a well in the village of El Geddiya, donated medical equipment to a free clinic in a Bamako slum, including sterilization equipment and an incubator. Further educational gifts were given to schools in several Bamako districts.
- In 2009 over 700,000 Euros worth of aid was delivered to Africa. The British "Green Knights" brought solar panels and solar ovens to several Malian villages. A Dutch women's team delivered 230 bicycles to an organization called Women on Bikes. The NGO teaches women to ride bicycles so they can get jobs away from their villages.[14]
- In 2010 over 25 tons of aid was delivered to Mauritania and Mali. Members of the Norwegian Bamako team built a school in a remote Malian village named Kourmikoro. Aid supported several villages, hospital, orphanages, schools and clinics in both Mauritania and Mali.
- In 2011 800,000 Euros worth of aid was delivered. A new building was added to the school built in 2010 and a new well was dug in Diema, Mali. Members of the JCI team delivered 10,000 malaria nets to Mali and Senegal.
- In 2012 600,000 Euros worth of aid was delivered. Several ambulances were donated to Guinea-Bissau. A new school wing was built in Kourmikoro, Mali. Donations also supported the village of Sincem Boce, Guinea-Bissau, the orphanage and hospital in Bissau.
- In 2013 800,000 Euros worth of aid was delivered. A Danish team donated a fully functional fire engine to the mayor of Guinea-Bissau. Solar powered vaccination storage systems, computers, sewing machines and bicycles were also donated in Mauritania, Senegal and Guinea Bissau.[15]
- In 2014 750,000 Euros worth of aid was delivered. A Belgian team donated complete hospital equipment. The Belgian military flew a plane with 2000 kilograms of medical aid to Banjul to the finish line of the rally. [1]
The team that performs the most outstanding charity work receives the Mother Teresa Charity Award.
Television Coverage[edit]
Since 2007 British cable and satellite broadcaster, Travel Channel airs the Budapest To Bamako series.[16] Since 2008 the channel sends viewers to participate in the rally. In 2009 the series grew to five parts and followed the trials and tribulations of an all men and an all women team along the rally. In 2010 in Hungarian national broadcaster RTL Klub broadcast the event daily.

Ok so when i labored with my son i was induced after laboring for 26 hours and him being stuck in my vaginal canal for after pushing 2 hours his hr plummeted and oxygen levels got dangerously low they decided to go ahead and prep for emergency c section however i tore all of a suden ( pretty bad ) and he arrived. he was only 7lbs2oz so not a big baby or anything
I have heard the subsequent babies get bigger. i am worried that i will push forever and just end up in c-sec anyways. i honestly don't want to go through all of that work if i have to get a c sec in the end and tear horribly.
my questions are
1. has anyone had a situation similar to this if so how did it go?
2. has anyone opted for an elective c-sec if so how did u talk to your doc about it?

The Closer Plate by Marco A. Guadarrama facilitates networking at cocktail parties. The dish features two cutouts -- one for the thumb and one for a wine glass -- that function much like an artist's palette, giving the user the required leverage to hold it with a single hand. A hollowed-out bowl fits small appetizers, canapes and hors d'oeuvres perfectly.
Since the Closer Plate leaves one of the user's hands free, he or she is able to network and interact with others more effectively. The plate's black or red hues are inspired by traditional Japanese lacquered plates.

When a fire broke out at a home on Myrtle Avenue in Halethorpe, members of the English Consul Volunteer Fire Department arrived to beat back the blaze. It proved too strong, destroying the structure and sending two firefighters to the hospital.
Federal authorities now say that one of the volunteers injured in the September 2007 blaze intentionally set it, one in a string of suspicious fires in the area at the time.
Documents filed in U.S. District Court last week lay out the case against Nicholas Hannigan, 27, a deputy chief with the English Consul department who told federal investigators in 2011 that he set the fire by igniting a wheelbarrow full of insulation, prosecutors say.
The alleged disclosure came as Hannigan went through a screening to become a Secret Service employee. Secret Service officials worked with Baltimore County police and, more than two years later, federal prosecutors have charged Hannigan with setting the fire.
The National Volunteer Fire Council estimates that about 100 paid or volunteer firefighters — out of 1.1 million — are arrested for arson-related crimes each year.
Researcher Matthew Hinds-Aldrich said while firefighter arsonists are typically thought to be thrill-seekers, many set fires as training opportunities or to create work to justify resources allocated to the department. It's an emerging area of research — and intervention — for fire services, he said.
A top official with the English Consul department expressed surprise Monday when told by a reporter that a member has been accused of setting the 2007 blaze.
Bradford Thomas, the chairman of English Consul's board, said Hannigan informed the company recently that he was facing federal indictment, and the department placed him on suspension. But Hannigan did not say why he was being charged, Thomas said.
"I guarantee you, if we had any inkling of something like this, they would be turned over to police immediately," he said.
In court filings last week, prosecutors said Hannigan described setting the fire as a rite of passage of sorts for volunteers, saying another member told him he "should have lit a fire by now to be like everyone else."
Asked whether he knew of members intentionally setting fires, Thomas called the claim a "ridiculous accusation."
Hannigan could not be reached for comment, and his attorney, Patrick Kent, declined to comment citing the continuing case. He has filed a motion to have the charge dismissed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Judson T. Mihok wrote in court papers that prior to Hannigan's 2011 revelation, investigators had noticed a "disturbingly common trend in this area .... connecting the [English Consul Volunteer Fire Department] and suspicious fires," but had been "unable to fix blame" for any of them.
'Through these doors'
At the English Consul firehouse, which is nestled in the middle of a residential block on Michigan Avenue, signs above the door leading to the truck garage read "Through These Doors Pass the World's Best Firemen," and "This Could Be The Night."
Started in 1944, the department has deep roots in the community — a hallway is decorated with old pictures and certificates. It is one of 35 companies that make up the Baltimore County Volunteer Firemen's Association.
Hannigan joined the department about 2006. Three months after the September 2007 blaze, he was part of a team that responded to a fire that claimed the life of another member's grandmother, according to a news report at the time.
He remained active with the department even after allegedly telling federal authorities of his role in setting the Myrtle Avenue fire. He is quoted in a January 2012 news article, commenting on a federal grant to help volunteer firefighters pay for life-saving equipment. Monday, he was listed as a deputy chief on English Consul's web page.
The home at the center of the federal investigation was owned by George Corbett, a 73-year-old truck driver who purchased it with the intention of renovating and renting it in order to supplement his retirement income, prosecutors wrote in court documents.
Between July 2007 and the time of the fire, Corbett financed "extensive" renovations, spending $20,000 on a new kitchen floor and removal of plaster and wallboard. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire.

Spent alot of time lurking the many threads of this website. Found myself really missing hockey and the banter and discussion on this website is something Ive really enjoyed. Ive grown up lucky enough to have season tickets to the Oilers and love them with all my heart. For alot of years my playoff team was the Avalanche but Ive ended up cheering for two basement dwellers. Really looking forward to the new start on this website along with (finally) the start of the season!

cable channels weren't listed anywhere
- internet connection booted me every 30 minutes or so.
- room was freezing so I turned up the heat. Once turned up, it
wouldn't turn down. I froze then I sweated
- a diesel truck was running outside and my hall filled with fumes.
- I had no hot water for a shower.
- Once done with my shower, maintenance men came to my door and
opened it without knocking. I was standing in my underwear, yet
they held the door open and talked at length to me about my water
- The complimentary breakfast was inedible
- the in-room coffee maker didn't work
Love the beds!! Room was clean an had everything we needed. Easy to find an get back to interstate
The ice machines did not work when we were there on 2nd floor or first. Which we needed
The layout and amenities of the room.
This is a good place for the money. I paid $85 for the night.
The room I was given had a permanent stench of cigarette smoke. I was not asked by the front desk at check in if I was okay with a smoking room.
The owners!! Pet friendly. Nice breakfast with the owner.
It was clean & that's all I expect for a one night stop. I would like to see more places set up for one night lay overs with a very resonable price.
I like the location and service.
Its hard to find portable gps can not locate the address/not listed.
This is an excellent place for overnight/travel lodging. Very clean and a friendly staff. The complementary breakfast has a good assortment and everything was fresh and hot. The room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent overnight stay.
No complaints about the hotel.
it was very close to where we needed to go, so that part was great. Fairly close to restaraunts too... LOTS of parking, well lit too.
towels were a bit thin, and they did not replenish the coffee and shampoo the 2nd day.
The smell of smoke and the dirty torn carpet. The clientele were very noisy and the continental breakfast was very poor.
Very friendly staff and tidy
The room was a bit small
Clean rooms, nice breakfast, clean facility with good parking.
The night hotel desk girl was fighting with her boyfriend in the main lobby, screaming at him. I watched this as me and my 2 kids were walking up to grab some hot chocolate in the main lobby.
every thing
liked the front desk that took care of us, very accomodating. no hassle getting in and out.
Motel in disrepair. Only thing posistive there was a bed to sleep in.
Loved the location.
Room was very small and didn't smell the greatest.
Staff very petty, really strict about how many people in room, ex if a wife and husband come with 3 kids they won't let u sign in the room, they will make u buy a bigger room ,also it was a socially dead environment
Staff people are very nice and friendly. Family operation. Room way very, very spacious. Technically one bedroom apartment.
The room smelt like mold. If you have an allergy or are sensitive about smell, you should check your room first. But I suspect all the rooms are the same way.
The facility was clean, updated, and well kept; indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna were a nice mid-winter treat. Continental breakfast was all we could have asked for in hot and cold foods. Friendly staff.
Our room temperature was very hard to regulate. The thermostat seemed to be broken; we spent all night turning it up and down after we would freeze then roast. In their defense, we didn't get up and call the office to see if they could even send someone to fix it in the middle of the night. We mentioned it at checkout and the attendant was apologetic and immediately entered a work order.

Symptoms of
dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) include:
Most menstrual blood is lost in the first 3 days of the
period. So excessive blood loss is possible without having
exceptionally long periods.
The symptoms of DUB can also be signs
of another, more serious
condition with similar symptoms. If your abnormal
vaginal bleeding is undiagnosed, see your doctor.

Lifelike experience
Lifelike is an adjective that relates to anything that simulates real life, in accordance with its laws. Its goal is to immerse individuals into what is called a lifelike experience. It gets as close as possible to real life behavior, appearance, senses, etc. therefore enabling its subject to experience what is happening as if it were real. In other words, simulating reality with its physical laws is the objective of lifelike experience.
Lifelike experience is an idea which has evolved since the time when a painting was considered lifelike. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci's Mona Lisa is famous for the ambiguity of the subject's expression, the monumentality of the composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism which contributed to the continuing fascination of the work.[1] A whole painting technique has been created pursuing the goal of the lifelike art form, called trompe-l'œil, involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.
However, this perception was replaced by photographs and then by digital ones that depict reality even further. Today, a digital picture is considered closer to lifelike if it is compared to a raw painting. It is the same pattern with motion picturess compared to still photos and with 3D movies compared to 2D films, etc. Each new medium or technology brings people closer to a truer lifelike experience.
There is only one thing which remains consistent – people must consider the experience suits real life laws. For example, to be absolutely lifelike, a digital guitar must behave exactly the same way the real object does: if someone plays the E string with a plectrum on the fifth fret, it will produce an A note with a particular sound. This same action will produce a different sound with fingerstyle technique. If someone decides to burn the guitar, it will burn in a predictable way according to its materials, the environment, the combustible, etc.
Consequently, anything said to be lifelike has to comply with real life rules. It only conceptualizes real life to reproduce it, using laws of physics, chemistry, etc. to make it the experience lifelike. Another example would be a digital ball staying up in the air, floating. This would not be lifelike since it ignores gravity. Its movement needs to fit nature's laws, thus falling on the ground and then bouncing in a specific direction, according to its initial place and forces applicable.
Going further would be adding every human sense: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Several works have been done (or are undergoing) to try to simulate each one. For example, haptic technology is trying to emulate physical contact by taking advantage of a user's sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to the user.[2]
Although almost anything can be considered as lifelike according to people's perception, digital products have initially been thought of and developed to virtually prototype expensive goods, thus modeling what could be the final physical product. This process allows creators to find beforehand what could be its design, engineering, regulatory or other issues. Architects can also use lifelike experience to prototype a building and its environment. For example they would use maps to represent a city to build, trying to maximize road traffic, thus avoiding traffic jam.
Today, very sophisticated software does this as accurately as possible. Whether they are in 3D, use augmented reality or not, their purpose is to virtually model desired goods and then modify them to eventually reach the final version, hopefully problem-free.
Just like Serious Games, this constitutes a "radical fictional work" - both consumers and companies can improve their experience using lifelike products. Companies can create products more efficiently. On the other hand, their consumers can try them out, without the geographical constraint of a real-life store, without being afraid of breaking the products, etc.
This gap between old and new lifelike products is based on virtual reality, i.e. computer-simulated environments.
As for today, the best example of a lifelike experience remains the short film World Builder where a man builds an entire city for his dying loved one to enjoy, virtually.
Another example is the movie The Matrix where most of the characters pass from the real world to The Matrix, a virtual one.
In these two examples, characters interact with objects, people and more generally a whole world which looks and acts real but is in fact virtual. They illustrate what is the goal of the lifelike concept – allowing people to enjoy reality with improved possibilities such as looking at a product from any perspective, testing its strength, checking whether it suits them or not, changing its color instantly, etc.
Also as another example, the movie Inception also has lifelike experience through the world of dreams.
Military applications[edit]
As video games have grown in popularity during the last two decades, the army uses them to prepare their soldiers for different situations they may face.[3] Even if today's technology is still not powerful enough, most military personnel underline how useful it was to learn through lifelike experience software in addition to their classical training.[4]
It can be seen in the James Bond Die Another Day movie where the introduction scene is actually a virtual-reality-based lifelike experience training.[5]
Everyday life applications[edit]
One of the most common lifelike experiences is when people learn how to drive. In France for example, driving students pass an exam looking at a screen representing a driving situation, with a question. For example, the screen shows a one-way street and the question is whether or not the user can go in. This represents a lifelike situation where contestants have to answer according to real life laws (the code of the road).

View all NFL scores for 8/29/2009
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Drew Stanton threw a touchdown and a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter to help the Detroit Lions take an 18-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in preseason action.
Daunte Culpepper started under center for Detroit and went 7-for-12 for 67 yards and a score. Matthew Stafford went 13-of-19 for 160 yards and an interception, while Kevin Smith had eight carries for 50 yards for the Lions, who have won two of their three preseason games. Calvin Johnson had four catches for 67 yards.
Peyton Manning played the entire first half and the first drive of the third and went 12-for-15 with 123 yards and a score for the Colts, who have lost two of their three preseason games. Dallas Clark had six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.
With the Colts holding a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter, Marquand Manuel picked off a Curtis Painter pass to give the Lions the ball near midfield.
Three plays later, Stanton and Dan Gronkowski hooked up for a 21-yard score. Detroit opted to go for the two-point conversion and it was successful as Stanton found John Standeford in the end zone for an 18-17 lead with just over four minutes to play.
Detroit held Indianapolis to a three-and-out on the following possession and was able to kill off over three minutes of clock before handing the ball back, which saw the Colts have three ineffectual plays before the game ended.
The Colts scored the only points of the first quarter as Manning hooked up with Clark for a six-yard score to cap a six-play, 80-yard drive. The big play of the drive was a 36-yard pass interference call against William James on a pass attempt to Anthony Gonzalez.
On the ensuing drive, Detroit tied the game with a 12-play drive that covered 71 yards in just over six minutes and was finished on the first play of the second quarter when Culpepper connected with Bryant Johnson on a three-yard score.
After halting the Colts on their next possession, Detroit grabbed a 10-7 lead on a 21-yard field goal from Billy Cundiff with just over three minutes to play in the first half.
Manning stayed at the helm to start the third quarter and on the first possession he marched the team down the field and Donald Brown took the ball into the end zone from two yards out for a 14-10 lead.
Shane Andrus' 29-yard field goal halfway through the third quarter gave Indianapolis a seven-point lead.

Nice job on the coloring.. though, I've already told you that while watching the action.
Um.. so yeah, ladybugs look spiffy with the color.. I adored the doodle without it, I absolutely love it now. Nice choices of color, goes well with the sketchy quality of the images. It doesn't subract from the linework, works wth it instead. If that makes any sense. Very painterly.. watercolor quality to it. Yup.. rambling now.. so.. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback/oddball comments. The reason i'm going back to observational drawing is because i realized that fantasy is based on reality. So i'm going back to try and beef up my visual language by paying closer attention to the things around me.
Also, i'm going to be starting a sketchbook thread soon. I hope that will help. I do draw EVERY day, but it would great to get some feedback on my sketches.

DEA hosts eighth prescription drug take-back Saturday
PHOENIX -- It's time to empty your medicine cabinet.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is holding its eighth prescription drug take-back on April 26, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
Arizona residents can drop off their old, unwanted or expired drugs to one of the 85 designated locations statewide. DEA Special Agent Ramona Sanchez said unused prescription medications are a public safety issue.
"Often we do see a high rate of prescription drug abuse," she said. "And a majority of teenagers have reported that the prescription drugs they get (are) from their family and friends."
According to the DEA, medications that go unused in homes are a concern because they are susceptible to accidental ingestion, theft, misuse and abuse.
According to the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 6.8 million Americans abuse prescription drugs. In Arizona, 1 in 6 youths have reported abuse of prescription drugs.

volume shadow copy - error 7034
Hello everyone!
I've got a problem with two servers I'd like to backup with Backup Exec 2010.
A view days since - and without any apparent reason - they're showing an error in the system log:
Source: service control manager
The volume shadow copy service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 23 time(s).
The error does not occur in regular intervals.
There are no other errors before or after it. (only information about starting the service)
The Backup fails with error code 8004230F. (the servers showing the errors won't be backed up)
The servers showing these errors are Virtual Machines (VM) running Windows 2003 Server.
Thanks for your answers!
Kind regards,

Install the VSS rollup patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349 (Reboot required) on the problem server and perform backups
sorry for my late answer.
Thak you very much for your answer. The problem doesn't seem to be caused by Symantec BE10.
Parallel with the BE10 - backup we do a VM-Ware backup (auto creating Snapshots with another server). The technician who had installed this said that he has this error with some other companys, too. (So he can fix it)
The backup with Symantec failed, because the Vbackup (VM-Ware) was trying to take a snapshot over and over without any success.
Kind regards,

Thank you in advance for any answers you may give
That's actually a great question. I used to tell my students that you can get through the vast majority of your motorcycling life by doing exactly what you describe. You sorta look where you want to go, you sorta lean over, and you complete a lazy arcing turn that generally gets you where you want to go. You may never need to do anything else. Unfortunately that technnique doesn't work when you need to turn the notorcycle RIGHT NOW. If you're never actively thought about countersteering you will not be able to suddenly invent that skill. That's why you should actively think about how you turn the motorcycle. I ask myself three questions. Where am I looking? What am I doing with the handlebars? What am I doing with the throttle?

Any tunnels/caves with Zubat/Golbat in em, besides the obvious Cerulean Cave with Mewtwo and Wobbuffet.
I also really hated the super complicated cave puzzles. One reason, the *countless* Zubats that attacked, second, they were freakin' impossible! Like, trying to figure out where to move what boulder and what path to take while a thousand Zubats attacked every second, probably worse than hell.

I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
