Dell shows off speedy game PC

CES 2006: Gadget glitz in VegasJanuary 9, 2006
Speaking to a crowd at the Consumer Electronics Show here, the Dell Computer founder showed off a new gaming PC that includes several high-end components, including a "factory overclocked" 4.26GHz Intel Pentium Extreme Edition.
Dell's Limited Edition XPS 600 Renegade, which is expected to be available this quarter, also includes four Nvidia graphics processors in an airbrushed fiery red case designed by Michael Lavallee.
Dell also showed off a concept laptop design that folds out and resembles a desktop computer with a detachable keyboard. The computer included a 20-inch widescreen display and the company has at least 10 patents. A release date has not been determined.
The company also introduced a new 30-inch flat panel display that will sell for $2199 and a dual-core 17-inch widescreen entertainment notebook, the Inspiron E1705, priced at $2,299.
Although the consumer market makes up only 15 percent of the company's business, Dell noted that it has grown more than fivefold since 2000, while the rest of the PC industry has seen total consumer sales decline.
Overall, Dell said that his company sold 10 million PCs in the fourth quarter, a milestone he said had never been achieved by a computer maker. He noted that one of every three U.S. computers comes from the company he founded.
"It's because of this that we feel an obligation to take computing to the next level," Dell said.

Get a first look at Dell's XPS 600 Renegade.
Dell, who was joined on stage by Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, made the case that PCs are better for gaming than consoles, which are considered fast when they come out, but remain static over their roughly five-year lifespan.
"The PC still ranks supreme as the high-volume device of choice," Dell said.
He also addressing the persistent speculation that Dell might adopt chips from AMD. "It's a distinct possibility," Dell told reporters following his speech. Pressed on the point, he said he "wouldn't want to speculate" on what role AMD might play. Historically, Dell has used only Intel's processors.
Addressing the gains AMD has made in creating speedy chips, Dell maintained that a fast processor is not the only way to improve PC performance. "What you see in these (new Dell PCs) is that the real improvement in performance is not coming so much from the CPU as from the (graphics processor)."

- Not a top of the line gaming PC if it has P4
- If your going to go all out with the absolute best PC for gaming, it would be a waste to get a P4, especially in a Dell.

- Still a high end component
- I am an AMD fan myself, running them in six of my computers. However, your statement does not hold, Intel's newest chip does outperform the AMDs, though they have reached the high end limit of their present technology. AMD will get the title back quickly and probably hold it for a long time. My gaming computer was top of the line about a year ago, but now is far behind (tears). I like to build my own.

- Dell and Gaming Spec PC (Oxymoronic)...
- They are simply trying to coat-tail on independent systems vendors that have the gaming niche market.
But Intel and Gaming, I think I'll stick with AMD.

"...it's really not a contest, with a couple of interesting exceptions. Look at the Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory tests, which use HDR lighting and Shader Model 3.0. At the lowest resolution, the 3.80GHz P4-equipped XPS 600 is easily outpaced by the Athlon 64 FX-57 system." - Extremetech.com

- You all missed something...
- Everyone who posted already has missed an important bit of news here. Where is Intel in all of this? Intel has NEVER allowed ANY direct purchase manufacturer to OC anything EVER. Dell is in tight with Intel, and is the only direct line manufacturer who is doing it.
This tells you one of two things. Either Dell holds some pull over Intel, or it's a publicity stunt to help promote Intel CPUs in gaming systems.
As far as why Dell would have the XPS line to begin with all you have to do is look at Alienware. The argument that "power gamers" are "smart" is absurd. If it were true, nobody would buy an Alienware and they'd be out of business already. They are doing fine and even moving into the business sector towards simulation systems and multi-unit orders.
Were this 5 years ago Intel would have pulled their deals with Dell and Dell would have sunk the next day by not being able to keep their chip prices as low as possible. AMD is sure to be noticing this move and will likely start promoting more OC based marketing. Afterall if an OC Intel can't beat the AMD if both are off-the-shelf (no overclocking) then AMD should have a good chance to OC their benchmarks right out of contention.

Seattle Mariners center fielder Michael Saunders had a fly ball bounce off his glove and hit him in the face during Friday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.
It happened in the bottom of the eighth inning as White Sox leadoff batter Paul Konerko hit what appeared to be an easy fly ball to center field. Saunders put his glove up to catch the ball, but somehow misjudged it and the ball glanced off his glove and hit him in the right side of the face.
Saunders did not appear to be seriously injured, but was charged with an error as Konerko ended up on second base. The play opened the door for the White Sox to score three runs in the inning to break a 4-4 tie and come away with the victory.

Reviews of Nsolo Bushcamp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
A true bush experience
What a contrast to arrive at this Camp from Kapani: we found peace and tranquility and a fine position over the sand river Luwi. We were welcomed warmly by Tara, the assistant manager, given a cool drink and ushered to the spacious honeymoon chalet with its long deck and comfortable seats. Andrew, Aubrey's nephew (Aubrey was our guide at Kakauli) had driven us expertly from Kapani and on the way had introduced us very graphically to a civet midden and stopped to watch a pride of lions at a kill. He was an amusing companion.
Tara was an excellent hostess and attentive to our needs. The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful and the food was good and varied. On our first evening the dining table was transferred to the sand river with a true bush experience under the stars. On our second evening, as we were the only guests in camp, Tara had organised a dinner table to be set up on our deck, where our meal was served by Felix and Harry, complete with sparkling wine for a celebration of our wedding anniversary. This was such a lovely idea and a complete surprise to us.
Shaddy was our guide and was ably assisted by Batwell, his scout who was very experienced and always alert to danger. They had been a team for 15 years. We were disappointed with Shaddy who appeared bored and diffident. He did not volunteer much information and when questioned his responses were very brief. He gave the impression that he was tired of guiding. On the second afternoon, when we were alone in the camp, he did not appear until we had finished our tea. Whilst we were on our game drive we asked for a drink, only to discover there was nothing on board, not even sundowners. It was a hot evening and as a consequence we had to retrace our steps, return to camp to collect the coolbox and Shaddy said we did not have enough time for a bush walk. This denied us one of the main features of our holiday, walking in the bush, and we felt extremely disappointed.
The next morning during our walk to Nsolo Shaddy was uncommunicative. Although we suggested a tea break he reluctantly stopped after three hours; he did not indicate to us how we were progressing and did not tell us how long we would take to reach Kakauli. We gained the impression he hoped we would not stop as it would enable him and Batwell to return to Nsolo without delay.
Nsolo Bushcamp review
Again Nsolo was fine. We were just a bit spoiled from the driving safaris since we saw a lot less wildlife while walking.
Shaddy [Ed: the guide here] was excellent.
Wonderful dinner on the sandy river bed!
The walking transfer between Luwi and Nsolo was exciting: with our guide Innocent, we tracked lions' paws till when we saw a lioness on the other side of the river: we crossed the river to get closer, but she was waiting for us and, at around 20-30 meters, she sent us very clear signals to stay away! We discovered she had two cubs, so she was just protecting them. One of the experiences you can only have with a walking safari with guides and scouts well prepared for their job.
In my opinion, Nsolo has probably the best chalets of all the camps: very spacious room and the veranda under a tree.
We had nice morning walks and night drives with Andrew (the same guide we had in Kapani) and also we found a pride of lions just around sunset of the second day in Nsolo. We were so excited that we almost missed a lioness with her two cubs: fortunately Kathrin, a member of our group in Nsolo, spotted her, so we were be able to enjoy also this family scene.
But probably the highlight of our stay in Nsolo was the dinner of the second night, that Priya organized on a sand bank in the river bed: wonderful setting and delicious food!

Shaddie was great.
Our game viewing with him was unforgettable.
Pria was a lovely hostess. This is definitely lion territory.

Nsolo Bushcamp review
Shadi and Batwell made a great team, steering us past marauding buffalo - all of which added to our excitement of the stay there.
Pria was an excellent hostess and all the troops were super.
Looking up.
We still had the same problems at Nsolo as the message had not got through for some reason. We therefore still remained in a group of six whilst others went off in pairs. A lot of frustration!
On the plus side it is a beautiful camp. Our host Pria was excellent and our (sometime) guide Shadi was very competent and knowledgeable. The walks out of here were very good (group of six not withstanding) with lots of interest and good duration (3-4 1/2 hours)
Beautiful walks at Nsolo
Stunning location with a multitude of animals wandering through camp at all hours of the day and night. Feeling so close to nature was wonderful and much more than we had expected. Shaddy and Batwell were tremendous fun to be guided by and clearly work brilliantly as a team. They totally made the holiday for us and we were especially lucky to have them all to ourselves for our first morning walk.
The chalets were lovely and we were so impressed to hear how the whole place has to be rebuilt every year. It made us appreciate how lucky we were to be able to visit such a place at all. The food was excellent, as was the laundry facility. The tsetse flies were an unpleasant surprise, but they were the only point of complaint at all.
Nsolo was our favourite place of the holiday, mostly because of the great staff there, but also because we saw wild dogs, which we hadn't dared to hope for and was very special.

Tranquility at beautiful Nsolo
It is very difficult to put into words our stay at Nsolo. Vastly different to Kapani. The peace, tranquility and remoteness was exceptional as was the quilaity of care, food, guides, hostess and accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble, very very relaxing. Everything from the early morning walk to the evening drive was brilliant. Sundowners were exceptional, beautiful locations every time. Lots of sightings, animals and birds, quickly ticking off items on our check list.
Pria (sorry if I have spelt that wrong) was a first class hostess, friendly, talkative felt very relaxed in her company.
Food, service and all the staff, front of house and back of house were exceptional.

Homeschool Specialists' Review
There are hidden treasures in these books about our Christian ancestors. They tell tales that build our faith by revealing God at work in the lives of people who placed their trust in him! They are testimonies to how God will work through both ordinary and extraordinary people alike. They celebrate the type of courageous, dedicated, and godly heroes we want our children to admire.
Little pieces of the stories bring back the fondest memories of our homeschool days. I found these books personally faith-building, and I know they have helped shape my children's faith as well. Approx. 200 pages each, softcovers from YWAM.

Originally licensed in 1976 in Toledo, Ohio, as (Novice) WN8ZHY, then upgraded and received callsign WB8ZHY (Technician). The family moved to Arizona and I then received callsign WB7QGN (eventually a General). After finally taking (and passing) the Extra, I decided to grab this nifty vanity call.
I owe a lot of my career success to enjoying ham radio, and especially to the mentors and friends that have guided me and have lent me a hand, many times (WA8ZID, W7GNP, W7SGK, and many, many, more). This is something that I have also tried many times to return to others, but will never equal.
Having a long interest in antique and tube radios, it is pretty cool to occasionally warm them up for ham ops (Hallicrafters SX-100 and others). It's also fun to turn on one of my EH Scott or Zenith console radios and hear an AM QSO loud and clear.
Normal operations on HF is with a Yaesu FT-847, Rigblaster Advantage, ladder line fed dipole at 24 feet, and a good Ameritron tuner. Sometimes it's necessary to light up an Ameritron AL-811H when needing that little extra push to try and compliment signals from stations with better antennas. Living in an urban environment really provides a battle against all of the interference, so there is the typical struggle to get good contacts. Of course in todays modern times, there is the distinct pleasure of living with CC&R's, so there is no chance of putting up a major antenna system.
I am now operating mobile, on and off, and have been surprised how well that works. Yaesu makes a great mobile package, that I can't recommend highly enough. And, probably like many, I am still waiting for some good apps that will allow communications on Apple mobile products. Can't believe it is taking this long for something that actually works through a bluetooth to be developed (2014).
This station loads up frequently on LOTW, eqsl.net (just for fun), and will send out QSL cards directly or through the buro to get a new QSL in the books. Many thanks to those that upload on LOTW quickly. I look forward to getting yours.

Forget free iPads, stock options and the other perks Internet companies dangle in front of prospective hires. In the technology industry's ongoing war for talent, Google, Facebook and a handful of deep-pocketed firms are using a more potent weapon to get the best engineers: the "acqui-hire."
An "acqui-hire" is when a company buys a startup to obtain the startup's team, rather than to own its products or technology, which it often kills after the purchase.
In the past year, the venture capital flowing into the tech startup space has spawned a wave of small companies that is siphoning talent away from larger Internet firms. Faced with a shortage of engineers, large firms are going on startup buying-sprees and using the founders and engineers they pick up to fill high-level positions.
Many analysts say it is the latest sign of a tech bubble. Too many startups are finding funding, talent is being spread too thin and the firms with the greatest resources are resorting to drastic (and costly) measures to land the best and brightest. "Some per capita values seem hard to justify," Randy Komisar, a venture investor, told the New York Times. "People will look back and realize that they overpaid in some cases. But in the heat of the moment, they may not feel they have a lot of options," Komisar said.
Others worry the practice is having a chilling effect on innovation, as tech giants gobble up engineers and shut down their operations just when they're hitting their stride. Some Web startups are only alive for less than half a year before the team is acqui-hired and the product is terminated.
"Facebook has not once bought a company for the company itself. We buy companies to get excellent people," CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the 2010 Y-Combinator class last October. Since then, the acqui-hires -- or "man-quisitions," as less politically correct analysts have called them -- continue to take place in innovation hubs across the country.
Below are some of the most notable acqui-hires in recent years:

City of Reno celebrates Arbor Day with tree planting in downtown park
The honeylocust was salvaged from the recent renovation of Dick Taylor Park and will be planted in the same spot where an old cottonwood tree once stood until it had to be removed in 2006. Lunsford Park is home to seven beautiful, mature trees from species as diverse as oak, maple, ash, Kentucky coffee and zelkova.
The City of Reno will again be recognized as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation, marking 33 consecutive years that Reno has achieved the honor. Reno was the inaugural Tree City USA in the State of Nevada, which now claims 12 Tree Cities. The Arbor Day Foundation sponsors the Tree City USA program in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters.

I do not know why it would not be a top prioroty to protect any endangered animal.I am glad to help in any way that I can.these are upsetting statistics,Vicky.
Thank you for your support, Kaya. It is heartbreaking what the cattle industry and BLM are doing to the wild bison. I have fought for them for many years. I will post some things shortly; bills that are in front of the Legislation right now. SB143 is the most dangerous I think. Anyway, there will be phone numbers, email addresses and regular addresses to contact the Legislators and let them know your stance on these matters. Maybe one day the bison will be safe.

Blackface Skit About Chris Brown Beating Rihanna At High School Pep Rally
A racial and domestic violence scandal hits Waverly, New York, a town with a 97 percent white population.
This image, according to CNN iReport contributor Matthew Dishler, shows three white students at New York state's Waverly High School wearing blackface during a skit at the school's homecoming pep rally:
Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna [sic] most notibly [sic]. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit.
The story, published early Monday morning, has stirred up plenty of conversation in the Waverly community. Students and alumni have shown support and shame. But more often than not, the response seems to be defensive.
Apparently, this is not the first blackface sketch in Waverly — a village with a 97 percent white population, according to the 2010 census.

16 and Pregnant Season 4 Girls Were Chosen Because They Wouldn't Make MTV Look Bad
As much as fans of the 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom franchises are riveted by the on- and off-screen drama caused by Amber Portwood and Jenelle Evans (the arrests, the fights, etc), MTV reportedly wants to steer away from that image in the future.
The Ashley's Reality Roundup claims that MTV "purposely chose girls who wouldn't make them look as bad" for 16 and Pregnant Season 4.
[Meet the New Faces of 16 and Pregnant]
The site's editor, Ashley Majeski, tells the New York Post that the new cast is more "All-American," with several girls coming from affluent families.
And she says that two girls who were filmed didn't make it onto the show because one got pregnant for a second time and the other "falsely represented herself to MTV."
"I think in the past, they were so concerned with getting drama that they chose a lot of girls that were complete train wrecks," Majeski says.
Instead, we can expect the Season 4 cast to be filled with cheerleaders and a least one cage-fighter. And since the new Teen Mom 3 will take girls from Season 4, it seems we can expect less legal drama then, too.

Judges agreed this year that there was one clear winner in the Securities Lender of the Year category – eSecLending
Auctioning in excess of $200 billion in assets in 2012, the judging revealed the year to be a strong one for eSecLending. The lender showed consistent demand from borrowers and, although industry supply and demand was relatively flat versus 2011, returns were up. The industry continues to be impacted by several challenges, including the unintended consequences of regulation, tax harmonisation, market volatility, financial transaction taxes, lower reinvestment spreads and limited trading strategies.
One judge said: "In a challenging market – with increasing demands from regulation – assets are down, yet eSecLending held onto its book while expanding capabilities."
In 2012, eSecLending launched iQ, a new client reporting website that provides an enhanced suite of reporting capabilities covering all aspects of the securities lending and collateral management activities. The product constructs specific time series reporting outputs and trending analysis tools that go beyond a point-in-time snapshot of a programme. eSecLending says the new functionality better enables clients to dynamically manage and monitor all activities in their securities lending programmes.
eSecLending believes risk management, transparency and best execution are increasingly important objectives for beneficial owners. Its auction process is unique in that it allows clients to obtain high levels of price discovery – enabling them to make better informed decisions, and optimise risk-adjusted returns for their securities lending programmes.
eSecLending's differentiated process attracts the largest global institutional investors who have over $3 trillion in assets under management. The company says borrowers favour its auction process as it facilitates their access to hard-to-borrow or 'special' assets on an exclusive basis. Its clients benefit from the guaranteed revenue stream as well as the premium returns generated versus traditional discretionary routes to market. In 2012, eSecLending witnessed one of its best performing auction years with an average of 13 borrowers participating in each auction and overall outperformance against market benchmarks. The auction process also provides proof statements for clients to present to their boards and auditors to demonstrate they are acting in the best interests of their shareholders or beneficiaries.
Independence is an important facet of eSecLending's offering. Securities lending is its primary focus, with no affiliation to a custodian or a borrower. As a specialist, it says it builds individual programmes around each client's distinctive profile instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, which enforces rigid, predetermined programme options. To assist in the oversight of a multi-provider programme, the company offers a consolidated reporting platform that aggregates data across lending agents and collateral managers.
Going forward, eSecLending believes securities lending participants are positioned to capitalise on many opportunities – especially once interest rates move off historic lows – including emerging market demand, strong corporate earnings, increasing government fixed-income spreads and a growing demand for high-quality collateral. While the level of risk-taking has been reined in due to client preference and preparation for impending regulation, eSecLending's objective to increase portfolio alpha from the lending value of a security is strong.
Custody Risk publisher Nat Knight comments: "The Custody Risk Americas Awards champion best practice and innovation in the securities servicing industries. Judged by an independent panel, winners must demonstrate excellence in several criteria. The judges agreed that again, for the fourth year in a row, eSecLending was the clear frontrunner in this category."

- Episcopal priest denies funds misused
The conservative Colorado Springs pastor who broke away from the Episcopal Church to form a new Anglican congregation in May 2007 now is accused of stealing $291,000 from Grace Church and St. Stephen's Parish.
The Rev. Don Armstrong was indicted on 20 counts of felony theft by an El Paso County grand jury Wednesday. He surrendered to authorities Thursday but was soon free on bond, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Armstrong's spokesman did not return calls Friday.
Police and a special prosecutor conducted a two-year investigation into allegations of Armstrong's financial wrongdoings at the church.
In the indictment, Armstrong, 60, is accused of using the Clarice Bowton Trust, a scholarship fund for new ministers, to pay his own children's college expenses, including rent and tuition bills.
The trust was activated after Bowton's death in the late 1970s, and its terms were never amended.
The indictment further states that Armstrong's use of the trust was eventually questioned by a trust officer, who terminated its distribution to the church as of December 2001.
Once Armstrong's access to the trust was cut off, the indictment said, the pastor began using the general funds of the church to pay for his son's and daughter's educations. Court records say Armstrong siphoned $291,000 from the church and the trust over a 7 1/2-year period.
When Armstrong left the Episcopal Church, he said the split was over theological differences, such as his opposition to gay marriage and the church's ordination of openly gay clergy.
But Colorado Episcopal Diocese officials countered that they believed Armstrong, who had been Grace's pastor for 20 years, had left to escape reckoning for embezzlement uncovered by diocesan officials. The diocese notified police of its suspicions in May 2007.
In fall 2007, an Ecclesiastical Court in Denver found Armstrong guilty of financial and pastoral misconduct that included theft of almost $400,000.
Armstrong also was removed from active ministry in the Episcopal Church. The diocese would not comment further Friday.
In 2007, Armstrong affiliated his parish with the theologically conservative Convocation of Anglicans in North America.
Armstrong and his group kept possession of Grace Church and St. Stephen buildings on Tejon Street until an El Paso County judge ruled March 24 that the pastor must surrender the $17 million property to the diocese around April 1.
Armstrong and followers then moved to a new house of worship, St. George's Anglican Church on Fieldstone Road. Officials there issued a statement Friday expressing full support for Armstrong and belief in his innocence, according to The Gazette of Colorado Springs.
Convocation of Anglicans in North America Bishop Martyn Minns said Friday that the indictment was a painful but necessary step in Armstrong's journey of publicly proving his innocence.
The case will be prosecuted by Pueblo County District Attorney Bill Thiebaut because the El Paso County DA at the time the case was opened had been a parishioner of Armstrong's and recused himself.

Benefits of Mae Wong Dam unlikely to outweigh environmental costs, IUCN report says
A new IUCN report suggests that the construction of a dam within Mae Wong National Park may negatively impact both the integrity and 'Outstanding Universal Value' of the Thungyai-Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuaries, Thailand's first Natural World Heritage Site. Habitat destruction and increased poaching in Mae Wong National Park related to dam construction would be likely eventually to 'spill over' into the World Heritage property, impacting its Outstanding Universal Value. …

occurring on average every couple of centuries. They are also the events that are likely to have the least advance warning. For larger events, actively changing the orbit of the hazardous object is likely desirable. The choice among the three methods—the slow-push and -pull method, kinetic impact, and nuclear detonation—depends both on the mass of the NEO that has to be moved and on how early the NEO is determined to be hazardous, as well as on the details of the orbit. The mitigation options are laid out in Table 5.1, which lists the applicability of each option to a given threat. Table 5.2 shows the regimes in which each mitigation method is applicable. Note that Table 5.2 brings in an additional important aspect of the problem, international coordination, which is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7 of this report.
Although all of the primary mitigation strategy methods are conceptually valid, none is now ready to implement on short notice. Civil defense and kinetic impactors are probably the closest to deployable but even these require additional study before they can be relied on.
In all cases, the decision to initiate mitigation is a sociopolitical decision, not a technical decision. This decision is implicit in earlier sociopolitical decisions about which methods of mitigation to develop, and it also depends on the level of probability that is considered to require mitigation. The committee's recommendations regarding the minimum approach to mitigation and more aggressive approaches are discussed later.
The subject of mitigation is rife with uncertainty. The effect on Earth of a given NEO depends critically on the velocity at which the NEO impacts Earth, a factor that is traditionally ignored in studies of the hazard. The decisions on mitigation must be based on the mass of the NEO rather than on its diameter, because mass is the quantity that most affects the effectiveness of any mitigation and the diameter for a given mass can vary by roughly a factor of two. The variation in diameter implies a factor-of-two variation, depending on the NEO's density, of the size of an NEO that can be moved far enough to miss Earth. Clearly an earlier warning allows a smaller action to be sufficient, but quantifying this relation is very uncertain. The effectiveness of most but not all methods also depends critically on the physical properties of the NEO. Humanity's ability to mitigate depends on the details of the intercepting trajectory. There are also significant differences depending on whether the discussion of mitigation is limited to current technology or includes likely future technology such as the next generation of heavy-lift launch vehicles. Thus the committee's discussion of the range of applicability will show overlapping and uncertain ranges.
Realistic mitigation is likely to include more than one technique, if for no other reason than to provide confidence. In any case of mitigation, civil defense will undoubtedly be a component, whether as the primary response or as the ultimate backup.
Finding: No single approach to mitigation is appropriate and adequate for completely preventing the effects of the full range of potential impactors, although civil defense is an appropriate component of mitigation in all cases. With adequate warning, a suite of four types of mitigation is adequate to mitigate the threat from nearly all NEOs except the most energetic ones.
TABLE 5.1 Summary of Primary Strategies for Mitigating the Effects of Potential Impacting Near-Earth Objects
Range of Primary Applicability
Civil defense
(e.g., warning, shelter, and evacuation)
Smallest and largest threats.
Threat of any size with very short warning time.
Slow push
(e.g., "gravity tractor" with a rendezvous spacecraft)
A fraction (<10%) of medium-size threats.
Usually requires decades of warning time.
Kinetic impact
(e.g., interception by a massive spacecraft)
Most medium-size threats.
Requires years to decades of warning time.
Nuclear detonation
(e.g., close-proximity nuclear explosion)
Large threats and short-warning medium-size threats.
Requires years to decades of warning time.

A look at this week in promotional giveaways from around baseball:
Tuesday, Aug. 10
Las Vegas 51s (Pacific Coast League) -- Rita Rudner bobblehead. I don't even know what to say about this one. I'm not sure I'd make the effort to get to the ballgame for this one.
Wednesday, Aug. 11
Lehigh Valley IronPigs (International League) -- Hambone mini bobblehead. I'm all for mascot races, especially when they feature pork. Lehigh Valley's features a hot dog, bacon and a side of ham. Everyone's doing them and I don't think it's a bad thing.
Richmond Flying Squirrels (Eastern League) -- Nutzy bobblehead. Mascot bobbleheads always go for more on eBay, and I think Nutzy the Flying Squirrel will be out of my price range, sadly.
Lancaster JetHawks (California League) -- Hawkette bobblehead. Another mascot, but not one I'll be searching for on eBay.
Lowell Spinners (New York-Penn League) -- Lou Merloni bobblehead. The Spinners are honoring a local legend.
Thursday, Aug. 12
Erie SeaWolves (Eastern Leagie) -- Al E. Gator bobblehead. It must be the week of the
Vancouver Canadians (Northwest League) -- wearable blanket
Friday, Aug. 13
Tampa Bay Rays -- t-shirt. Come for the T-shirt, stay for the Village People postage concert.
Atlanta Braves -- t-shirt
New York Mets -- Johan Santana koozie
Washington Nationals -- beer and pItcher cup set. Nats try to one-up their NL East foes by going all classy with an actual cup for beer drinking.
Trenton Thunder (Eastern League) -- travel mugs.
Springfield Cardinals (Texas League) -- floppy cap.
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (California League) -- Torii Hunter bobblehead. That bobblehead may accidentally bobble and hit the umpire and get a bobble suspension.
Lynchburg Hillcats (Carolina League) -- Phil Vassar bobblehead. I had to Google him. He's apparently a country music artist. Go figure.
Boise Hawks (Northwest League) -- playground ball. No pegging.
Saturday, Aug. 14
Cincinnati Reds -- garden gnome. Let's just say my wife has been bugging me about this one for a while. She loves garden gnomes. I don't get it either. That said, I've seen one and it's pretty cool.
Chicago White Sox -- Miller Lite Beer vendor bobblehead. Now that's an MVP.
Kansas City Royals -- 1980 A.L. Champion coaster set. I was hoping for a U.L. Washington toothpick holder.
Minnesota Twins -- mini Target Field
New York Mets -- green cap. You know, because Aug. 14 is St. Declan's Day. He was St. Patrick's younger brother.
San Francisco Giants -- Bruce Bochy bobblehead. The rare bobblehead that is in its proper proportion.
Fresno Grizzlies (Pacific Coast League) -- Parker bobblehead. Another mascot.
Oklahoma City RedHawks (Pacific Coast League) -- RedHawks skateboard. This is one of the cooler promo items of the year, several teams have done them. However, I worried about some people when the Reds had a skateboard deck giveaway and someone dropped one from the upper deck. Luckily it didn't hit anybody.
Jacksonville Suns (Southern League) -- Logan Morrison bobblehead.
Arkansas Travelers (Texas) -- pillow cases. Somehow, I don't think my wife would let me use these.
Wilmington Blue Rocks (Carolina League) -- Judy Johnson book, "Judy Johnson Delaware's Invisible Hero." Really cool to educate fans about a former Negro Leaguer.
Lake County Captains (Midwest League) -- fleece blanket
West Michigan Whitecaps (Midwest League) -- superhero cape. A really cool giveaway for kids.
Boise Hawks (Northwest League) -- Tyler Colvin bobblehead. The Hawks apparently knew Colvin would have a good rookie season.
Sunday, Aug. 15
New York Mets -- metal lunchbox
Tampa Bay Rays -- Matt Garza bobblehead
Cleveland Indians -- Mustard (hot dog) plush doll
Cincinnati Reds -- kids chest protector backpack
Washington Nationals -- back-to-school supply kit
Richmond Flying Squirrels (Eastern League) -- metal lunchbox. Again, I gotta give the Flying Suqirrels the nod. The Mets have Jose Reyes, the Flying Suqirrels have Nutzy. Advantage Nutzy.
-- C. Trent Rosecrans

Mike D'Antoni was never able to get over the hump with the Phoenix Suns. He had a few teams that looked like they could win a championship, but his offensive mindset never translated to a title. When he left Phoenix for the bright lights of New York, with the talent the Knicks had, it looked like D'Antoni might have the chance to be successful there. But things were much worse in the Big Apple. The Knicks could never really comprehend the system and it was clear that D'Antoni missed Steve Nash, the guy who had run his offense successfully for years. He left the Knicks on bad terms and a couple years later, he is admitting that it was a bad decision. I shouldn't have gone to New York," he said. "I should have stuck in there and battled. You don't get to coach somebody like him [Nash] too many times. It's pretty sacred and you need to take care of it. I didn't… I initiated it and I probably shouldn't have. It is not all that shocking that D'Antoni regrets his decision to go to New York. What took me by surprise is the fact that he was not forced out in Phoenix. I really thought Steve Kerr wanted D'Antoni gone because the "all offense, no defense" philosophy wasn't cutting it. It looks more like D'Antoni took the initiative and pursued the job in New York. He needs to put all of that behind him now. He has been reunited with his little buddy in Los Angeles, and if Nash ever gets healthy again, we could see the "seven seconds or less" offense truly resurrected by the Lakers. When Mike Brown was fired by Los Angeles, every Laker fan out there wanted to bring back Phil Jackson but they went with D'Antoni instead. That adds a lot of pressure when you get "picked" over a guy with 11 championship rings, but D'Antoni has a chance to redeem himself. The best way to move past his failure in New York would be to succeed in L.A. Image: LA Times [follow]

Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri casts his vote to elect the new Lebanese president in the parliament building in downtown Beirut April 23, 2014. (REUTERS/Joseph Eid/Pool)
The democratic process in Lebanon was respected Wednesday as 124 out of 128 MPs in the legislature showed up for the presidential polls, although no winner emerged.
The biggest "vote getter" was the blank ballot, as no candidate proved able to command the two-thirds majority needed to become the next president. This was natural, and widely expected, as the various factions engaged in a process of testing the waters and seeing how many votes could be secured by Samir Geagea, the candidate of most March 14 MPs, and Henri Helou, the candidate of centrist figure Walid Jumblatt.
But a handful of MPs opted to cast their ballots for Civil War victims, and only ended up blemishing the session. They ignored the fact that a blanket amnesty for the war was approved by Parliament long ago, and the fact that no side in Lebanon has a clean record when it comes to that long, divisive conflict.
There are many other forums in which objections to certain candidates may be put forward, and a presidential election, broadcast live on satellite television, is not one of them. Moreover, the public might have something to say about a spectacle in which one MP asked for a list of the candidates prior to the vote, in a move – consciously or unconsciously – that highlighted the ad hoc, unstructured process of electing a Lebanese president.
But until needed reform moves materialize, MPs should build on the positive aspects of Wednesday's vote as they prepare for next week's follow-up session. Most importantly, they should allow the political considerations of Lebanon's present and future to prevail, and not dredge up only one side of the country's problematic past.

I'm Michael. I've lived in Arizona for about 25 years and most of my family is back in Ohio. I like the outdoors and staying active (climate permitting). A healthy lifestyle is important to me; I gave up all fast food last year. I still eat out occasionally and I love trying new food. I also love to cook. Fun for me usually involves my motorcycles, whether it is working on them or going riding somewhere. I also like to go to the rifle range occasionally; shooting is a great way to work off stress. I am not high maintenance and would prefer my partner not be as well. I won't lie, physical attractiveness is important but I value intelligence most of all. I am a brainiac so if you are as well, so-much-the-better. A sense of humor is required otherwise you will not get my jokes. One thing that's come up, I would like to have children someday. However, I am not looking to get married then immediately start having kids; I'd like to have a few years as a couple first. But, if nature happens, I'm good with that too. If you have children already and don't want anymore, that works for me as well. Sorry for the rant. If you've read this far, drop me a line.

Some other viewpoint
Anywhere I can get on my mountain bike or do some hiking. My city is not that big so there are not that many options. I would be open to some urban exploring. Brandywine Falls was the greatest place in my childhood; I miss being able to go there.
Music- Green Day, Blink-182, Nine Inch Nails, Beethoven's 9th Food- Coffee, anything spicy, and anything made out of chocolate. TV/Movies- The Walking Dead,anything with zombies, most Sci-Fi. I still watch House and Breaking Bad re-runs.
Most anything outdoors when its not crazy hot. Maybe a music festival or a local art show.
