WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) Board of Directors:
"America faces a major health crisis because the United States does not have a coherent health care system.
Nearly 47 million Americans are uninsured;
Tens of millions of Americans are suffering everyday from all manner of diseases, despite spending $2 trillion a year on medical care, more than any other nation in the world.
Our nation's poor health is jeopardizing America's economic security.
That is why we believe that all Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care.
That is why we believe that wellness and disease prevention efforts should be national priorities and a strong public health system must be part of the solution.
And that is why we believe that every American should have the opportunity to be as healthy as he or she can be, regardless of racial, ethnic or economic circumstances."

The XSane scanner front-end for Linux
The Sane interface provides access to image processing devices such as scanners. You can manage your Sane-supported scanner from Linux with the handy XSane front-end.
A scanner sometimes comes bundled with free software you can use for operating the device. Unfortunately, the software often only runs on Windows or (maybe) Windows and OS X. If you are a Linux user and you're looking for a GUI to talk to your scanners, try XSane. XSane [1] is a graphical scanner front-end based of the Sane programming interface [2]. Sane is an acronym for Scanner Access Now Easy. The Sane programming interface sets a standard for access to image processing devices. The drivers for the image processing devices used with XSane, including scanners, are referred to in the Sane world as back-ends. If Sane has a back-end that matches your scanner, the installation process is really quite simple (see the "Setting Up Your Scanner" box.) Sane operations are controlled by front-ends. XSane is one example of a Sane front-end. Other Sane front-ends include tools such as Kooka [3] and QuiteInsane [4]. This article describes how to operate your scanner from a Linux computer using the XSane front-end.

Gary D'Amato offers news and insights on Wisconsin golf, new technology, courses and instruction
Tseng grins and bears a tough finish
Kohler -- Yani Tseng was hurting inside after shooting a 45 on the back nine in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open, but she still managed a smile and some self-deprecating humor.
"It was like some amateur was playing on the back nine," the world's top-ranked golfer said with a smile. "These four days I played nine holes good and nine holes bad every day. It was like a switch on and off."
Tseng, 23, of Taiwan, was trying to win her sixth major championship and become the youngest golfer to complete the career grand slam. Instead, she shot 78-78 on the weekend and finished in a tie for 50th place.
"But I still feel confidence," she said. "It's not the end of the world. I still have lots of tournaments left."

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Kohl on the boo birds
At halftime, the Bucks re-dedicated the retired jersey of former guard Brian Winters and when Kohl was introduced, he received a mixed bag of applause and boos.
"I'd rather have them cheer than boo," said Kohl Wednesday. "But you know in sports, if you win you're cheered and when you lose you're booed. It doesn't matter of you're Herb Kohl or Michael Redd or Larry Krystkowiak or Larry Harris. That's sports and they have a right to do that. They pay their money, and they pay quite a bit of money, to come down to an NBA game and when they're not being entertained, they have a right to be unhappy."
The Bucks' 112-106 loss to the lowly Miami Heat Tuesday will go down as the final game of the Larry Harris era. Kohl was asked how it felt to watch Tuesday's game.
"It is very painful," he said. "I'm in this thing as a fan. And I'm in this business to satisfy our customers. I'm not in this business to make any annual profits I'm in it because I love the sport. I love the competition and I love winning. I think that's what our fans want. When we lose a game like we lost last night, it hurts more than I can describe and when we go through a season like the one last season and the now this season – it's not yet over – it hurts. Deeply."
What were the players feeling after Tuesday's loss?
"The game's just not fun right now," said guard Charlie Bell. "When you look at what they did in the beginning of the fourth quarter…just moving the ball and making the extra pass, everybody getting touches. Looking at their bench and seeing everybody jumping up and down. It looked fun.
"They were having a good time and we've got to do the same. We get into a rut where the ball sticks and everybody is standing around and everybody is upset for some reason or another …you just have to have fun."
Said forward Desmond Mason, "It's embarrassing and it's upsetting."

OT- Tigers-Red Sox Sunday night baseball
It's been a bit since we've had one of these so here's your open thread for tonight's game.
8:05 PM first pitch, ESPN
- Anibal Sanchez
- 0-2 through 23 IP and a 3.13 ERA
- FIP of 2.43
- Jake Peavy
- 1-1 through 48 IP and a 3.94 ERA
|I. Kinsler, 2B
|D. Pedroia, 2B
|T. Hunter, RF
|S. Victorino, RF
|M. Cabrera, 1B
|D. Ortiz, DH
|V. Martinez, DH
|M. Napoli, 1B
|D. Kelly, 3B
|G. Sizemore, LF
|A. Jackson, CF
|A. Pierzynski, C
|J. Martinez, LF
|X. Bogaerts, SS
|A. Avila, C
|B. Holt, 3B
|A. Romine, SS
|J. Bradley Jr., CF
Sanchez will make his first start after coming off the DL, the interesting news of the day is that it was Justin Miller that was sent down to clear room for Sanchez, and not Robbie Ray. Apparently Rick Porcello has been having lingering soreness on his left side, and as a preventative caution the Tigers have pushed back his next start, thus giving Ray another chance to showcase his talents.
The Tigers look to make it 11 straight road wins tonight, let's hope they get it!
Baseball closes regular season with 4-0 shutout upset of #22 Kansas
How about that for going into the postseason?!
Evan Hill pitched a gem. Michigan could've swept this series if it not had been for a 9th inning disaster yesterday.
Michigan finishes the regular season at 28-27-1. They are the 5 seed in the B1G Tournament at TD Ameritrade in Omaha.
They open against 4 Minnesota on Wednesday night at 10pm.
Big Ten Baseball Tournament bracket announced
The bracket for the eight-team, double-elimination Big Ten Baseball Tournament, to be held May 21–25 in Omaha, has been announced. Michigan, the #5 seed is in the 1-4-5-8 bracket with Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa. The Wolverines will play Minnesota on Wednesday at 9 pm CT, with Indiana and Iowa facing off at 5 pm. The winners of those two games will play on Thursday at 9 pm, with the losers playing an elimination game at 1 pm that day.
Michigan played all three of the teams in their bracket during the regular season, winning 1 of 3 against both Minnesota and Indiana, while taking 2 of 3 in their series against Iowa. Those series were all in late March and early April, when the team wasn't playing as well as they have of late. Michigan's starting pitching in particular gives them a chance to make some noise in the tournament.
Michigan has no chance at an at-large NCAA bid; they'd need to win the BTT to get in.
After losing to Kansas 8-2 today, the Wolverines are 27-27-1 on the season, with another game against Kansas tomorrow. On Senior Day, senior Logan McAnallen will be getting the start.
OT: Where does Miggy Stand?
Well, if you didn't see Miguel Cabrera's dramatic go-ahead ninth inning homerun tonight, here it is:
I know this is a cheesy radio topic, but where does the back-to-back MVP stand currently amongst the all-time greats? How high can he go by the time he decides to call it quits? I say he has a chance to be among the top three hitters in the history of baseball when it's all said and done.
Michigan Baseball beats Illinois Chicago 2-1
The team is now 27-26-1 and faces # 22 Kansas at Ray Fisher stadium on Saturday.
Beautiful gesture by Ohio State baseball
An enormously generous gesture by the Ohio State baseball team. When one freshman teammate needed a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, the entire team voluntarily signed up to check for transplant matches.

I have a need to compile some code using
CodeDomProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource. How would one go about debugging it? Basically, I want to compile it, create instance of a type and then step into the code for the type.
I have a need to compile some code using
After I posted a question, I realized that my problem was that I was generating the assembly from string, not from file. I went back and changed the code to run with different options when in DEBUG and I am able to step right in from unit test code. Also one has to set GenerateInMemory to false and IncludeDebugInformation to true.
Interesting question. I think your best bet would be to use WinDbg to attach to the running .NET exe process (I think you will have to do this after the tyoe has been compiled in memory, since the memory addresses for the EXE will change - I assume).
Then, when the type is compiled and running in memory, you can then search for that type using commands found in SOS.dll. You can also place breakpoints in memory using SOS.dll
Getting started with SOS link
This is a bit of light answer, since explaining how to use WinDbg and SOS.dll has been covered many times on the web.
One of the cons of this method is that you won't be able to see the source code like Visual Studio displays it. You will see assembly language displayed as you step through the code. This might put you off already :), but if you stick with it, and understand a bit of assembly, you could do enough to debug errors for example.
Another thing you could do is dump the .NET assembly from memory into a file on disk. The SOS.dll command to do that escapes me now, I'll go look for it...
Ahh, it's
Did you try attaching to the process using your code from the Debug > Attach to process feature in VS?

ive said it before, ill say it 10,000,000x more.
Take an item, change it, change it again and again and again and sooner or later you need to stop calling it that original thing.
The very idea of taking an IP is to use its name, if it is nothing like that original IP anymore, why use it at all? because, what you are making is so piss poor it cannot stand on its own is the reason.
If a TV show came out, its a situation comedy that takes place in New York City in 2013 based on a group of friends named Frodo and Legolas who live in an apartment next door to Gimli and Samwise, Gandalf, a cranky old man lives below them, they are harrassed all day by their landlord Sauron. The name of the show? The Lord of the Rings!
Is it really Lord of the Rings? No...and calling it that is moronic. Well, so far...calling this game TES is moronic. Go on, remove TES from it and give it some other name like "More of the same Online" and tell me...does this game look interesting? Is it bringing ANYTHING new? What makes it stand out?
Go on...think about it. WHAT IS THIS GAME BRINGING OTHER THAN A TES SKIN? Its plain to see that the heads wanted to make DaoC 2, couldnt get the rights to it and knew the game wouldnt stand on its own with an original IP.

Most Elder Scroll fans don't even give a shit about the war, it NEVER should've been the main focus but only a background setting to the game. If we wanted to participate in PvP/AvA then make us join a faction but those who prefer the exploration should be able to do so unhindered. That's the fault of design when DAoC PvP became greater than The Elder Scrolls.

This thread is funny.
To me TES is all about running around doing random things like clearing out a dungeon and finding out of the way places. That is something TESO will have so I am happy. What makes TES is different for most everyone.
Classes? Prior TES game had class choices. TESO will do the same by giving you some base class abilities and then allowing you to combine that with whatever else you want.. Choosing to be a Cleric doesnt mean you will be healing the rest of the characters life. You could raise your weapons skills and make a Paladin / Battle Cleric that wears plate armor or even a Battlemage that wields a 2H weapon. It seems to me that the choice still remains when it comes to character building.
Housing? When they said they couldnt do housing the way some would want it I am sure that was directed at players who would want open world housing. I dont know about anyone else but I dont want to dodge a house every 3 feet or run in place because I ran into a house that hasnt loaded yet like I constantly did in UO and SWG. Open world housing just kills the landscape. But that doesnt mean I am fine with no housing at all as I think they could easily create a system similar to what EQ2 uses but it also isnt a deal breaker if housing isnt in the game at release for me.
Locked races / factions? I can see why they would do it this way.. They dont want one faction to stand far above the others population wise. Trying to split the would be most popular races will help game balance in the end and thats a good thing IMO.
TESO has many things that the single player TES do and some things it doesnt due to the nature of being an MMO.
I am definitely looking forward to play the game.

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.

When they first announced ESO, no honest person could say they thought "Man, I hope they split races into different factions and close off part of the world". There is more than one way to design a game, they did not have to lock factions and areas.
From the polls on the ESO forums there is already an imbalance in faction choices. There would've been a better chance for balance by allowing players to pick the race they wanted and then join a faction that they decided.

I would almost support something like this but I think it needs to be marketed differently. It should be a group for people who don't agree with the direction of ESO. Nothing angry or insulting but a peaceful protest of sorts.

Is there anyway to get rid of that? I would pay for the software, but they only have corporate plans for very expensive prices.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Chris Mattia helps educators create online courses that complement classroom-based instruction and foster student interaction using the free learning management system Moodle. The course details the basics of setting up a test environment, disseminating course information, creating forums, and assessing student progress. Tutorials on building course materials with Moodle's built-in HTML editor, preparing and posting various types of media, uploading assignments, and evaluating tests automatically are also included.
Now let's have a quick tour of the calendaring functions that are built into Moodle. I'm back on our campus homepage and I've added a New Student Orientation Course and I've also added a few events into my Calendar, so that you'll be able to see the way that different events appear on our calendar. The Calendar appears on the right-hand side and it shows you the current month view as a quick snapshot. You can see that specific days such as the 11th, the 15th, the 22nd, and the 23rd are all colored, again indicating that there is an event taking place on that day.
If I hover my mouse over top of one of those days, I can see a quick pop-up preview to see what that event happens to be. In this case, on Monday, August 15th, our registrar has set a campus wide event to let us know that Fall Registration Opens. If I click on the link for the month at the top of the calendar, I'm taken into a full-page view of that entire calendar. Now I can clearly see all of the events that are taking place for this month. In the upper right-hand corner there is an Event key that lets me know what the colors in the calendar represent.
So in this key, the Global events show up in Green, the Course events show up in Peach, the Group events for a particular course show up in Yellow, and individual User accounts that are related to just my user account, are showing up in Blue. So when I look at my calendar over here, I can see that the New Student Orientation - Welcome speech takes place on August 22nd, then that maybe a course that I'm enrolled in. Then if I'm enrolled into a group within that course, and that group has the Writing Test taking place on the 23rd, that event may appear for me and show up in Yellow.
As a faculty member, I may use the built-in Moodle calendar to keep track of various different personal appointments, such as advising appointments with students and here I've got an Advising Appointment set up on the 11th. So at a glance, I'm able to see all of the events that are relevant on campus to me whether they be personal, group, course, or campus wide events. If I only want to see events related to a particular course, I can come up here to the upper left-hand corner and click the dropdown menu and select a particular course that I'm involved in and then any events that are not in that specific course will be hidden away from me.
If I want to create a new event I've had a New event button here in the upper right-hand corner. I also have a link for my Preferences in the far upper right-hand corner and when I go to that, I can set up how I want my calendar to function. I can set such parameters as the Default time display, the First day of the week, the Maximum number of upcoming events that I want to see displayed on my calendar, how far ahead I want Upcoming events to look, meaning how many days, and I can also even set up filters and have Moodle remember what my filter settings are.
I'm going to go ahead and use the Back button on my browser to go back into the main view of the calendar. I can navigate between the months of the calendar by either using the navigation here at the top of the calendar to go to the next month. I can also simply click on the name of a month over here in the side view, to go to that particular month. If I scroll down at the bottom of the page, there is an option to Export my calendar. If I click on the Export calendar button, I can export All events, just Events for a particular course. I can control how far in the future that I want to export those events for,, and then I can either Get calendar URL which is this URL down here that I can use to subscribe to this calendar from within my local calendar program, such as Outlook, or iCal,, or I can do a one-time Export of all of the events in a standard iCalendar export format, which can also be imported directly into Outlook or iCal.
I'm going to go ahead and use the Back button on my browser again to go back to the main calendar, and then scroll up to the top. So make sure you're in your current month, and in the next movie we'll create a new event for our own personal calendar.

It was a month ago that I was freaked out (in a good way) at hearing my name on the Gillmor Gang, and now I get to hang with the man. I quite liked it, but I have to say that a lot of the time I felt like the Karate Kid letting down Mr Miyagi. It seemed like he was trying to lead me to insights that I'm too dense to grasp. Steve Gillmor, welcome to the ongoing frustration that is trying to wise me up!
Hey, Dave, I don't know about you but I'm just making this up as I go along. Dave, you're like Steve Jobs: oh, and just one more thing... and down comes Maxwell's Velvet Hammer. And me, I overheard someone saying, "Who's that guy talking to Dave Slusher?"

He threatened to hit the leaders of this year's Giro d'Italia hard in yesterday's testing journey to the top of the Grossglockner and today atop Monte Zoncolan Igor Anton announced himself as an overall podium contender with victory in the 14th stage.
The Euskaltel-Euskadi captain finished 33 seconds ahead of maglia rosa Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank Sungard) and 40 seconds up on Vincenzo Nibali Liquigas-Cannondale), the duo battling for the last 5km in pursuit of Anton and pressing for any weaknesses in the fight for the overall lead.
The day exposed several weaknesses in the overall contenders, however – the likes of Michele Scarponi (Lampre-ISD), Roman Kreuziger (Astana) and David Arroyo (Katusha) – while confirming that Contador remains the man to beat in what is rapidly becoming 'his' Giro d'Italia.
And Anton can enjoy the spoils of his gutsy ride this afternoon with his new position of third on general classification, 3:21 behind Contador and 45 seconds ahead of Scarponi. He'll surely be aiming at Nibali, who holds second overall, just one second over the Basque rider, and tried to limit his losses on the upper slopes of the Zoncolan.
'Enjoy' is relative though, as tomorrow is another test of mettle, with a 229km parcours that includes three category one climbs, a second category ascent and the 'Cima Coppi' up the Passo Giau as the highest point of this year's Giro.
All aboard... the Zoncolan train
Today's parcours was shortened by 35km due to the removal of the Monte Crostis – it was deemed too unsafe – and then its replacement, the Tualis, was also eliminated while the stage was in progress. It allowed the day's break of Matteo Rabottini (Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli), Bram Tankink (Rabobank) and Gianluca Brambilla (Colnago - CSF Inox) more time off the front, which was always going to be limited by their ability to climb.
That was because the overwhelming highlight of the stage remained the concluding Monte Zoncolan, and the mountain's brutal slopes – boasting a maximum gradient of 22 percent and an average of 11 – were decisive in determining who would be the king by day's end.
Long before that part of the stage however, the break had garnered itself a minute over the peloton on the approach to the day's first climb, the Passo di Monte Croce Comelico. Nearing the summit of the ascent, that lead had opened to 10 minutes on the Saxo Bank-led bunch.
The break's advantage was down to nine-minute mark with 64.5km left in the stage and it took 30km to knock two minutes off that as Liquigas-Cannondale moved to the front of the peloton to ride for their captain, Nibali.
From that point on the gap was rapidly reduced under the pressure from Nibali's teammates. Suddenly only 10km remained in the stage and the break still had itself 4:22... Although the wicked, brutal slopes of the Zoncolan still had plenty to say in who would be celebrating victory on its summit.
And so the pain begins
With the fleet of following cars replaced by a flock of motorbikes due to the climb's steep slopes, 8km remained and 3:24 separated the break from the peloton as Nibali, Contador, Denis Menchov (Geox-TMC), Kreuziger and Scarponi gathered at the front of the rapidly-dwindling favorites' group.
Brambilla tried his luck with 7.5 difficult kilometers until the finish and behind him Katusha's Joaquim Rodriguez did the same ahead of Kreuziger et al. Next to go was Anton, followed by Contador, to form a Spanish armada in pursuit of the break's remnants. The trio quickly gathered steam and another passenger in the form of Scarponi as they battled for ascendancy on a climb that etched grimaces on the faces of those who were taking it on.
The pace saw Rodriguez drop away into the clutches of the remaining favorites behind – Nibali, Kreuziger and Menchov – as Anton put in another effort to shake his countryman in the maglia rosa and the Italian who wanted to be king, Scarponi. Incredibly, there were still over 6km left to race.
Rabottini, Brambilla and eventually Tankink fell by the wayside while Nibali made his way up to Contador and the Lampre-ISD leader – a brave move that required the Sicilian to dig deep into his reserves on a day when his teammates had worked incredibly hard to assist his chances of narrowing the gap to the maglia rosa.
The banner indicating the final five clicks ticked over and heralded the beginning of the end of the suffering for the field; Contador had to merely mark the attacks and with 4km remaining Nibali provided one of those. The Spaniard jumped on his wheel immediately, showing no sign of weakness in the face of his Italian challengers.
Contador's countryman, Anton, continued his toil ahead in pursuit of the dream – a Grand Tour stage win – while Scarponi raised the white flag behind his hitherto companions who continued their chase of the lone man in orange. A race of four had become a thrilling battle of three... could there be more casualties on the climb of the Zoncolan?
Time checks weren't required in this chase – Anton largely remained in sight of Nibali and Contador over the final 4km while the crowds thickened near the summit of the Zoncolan and the stakes were raised amongst the big players at the mountain poker table.
The maglia rosa showed no sign of cracking under Nibali's constant pressure however, which allowed Anton to show his cards and turn up the gas in pursuit of the royal flush that would net him a raise in general classification and a shot at the podium steps in Milan that, in all honesty, he deserves.
Then, as the flamme rouge beckoned, Contador flew in the face of Nibali to prove to his opponents that he's numero uno in this year's Giro and while Anton may have won the stage, the maglia rosa was Contador's to keep.

A Microgrid Solution
A Microgrid solution is secured using the same tools, techniques, and best practices that would be used to secure a larger utility grid. In addition to an optimized mix of generation sources, a centralized management software solution and a communication infrastructure is required to ensure enablement of energy infrastructure functionality. Siemens' Microgrid Energy Management System, a utility-based SCADA system, integrates and optimizes decentralized power generation assets and controllable loads. This advanced software solution will be responsible for optimally managing the grid assets and ensuring that economic goals are reached while meeting energy demand.
Power Generation
Siemens has a broad power generation portfolio that includes: solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power, wind, gas turbines, steam turbines and power conversion systems for electric energy storage. Siemens also has control systems with the ability to aggregate and economically optimize the dispatch of distributed generation resources for both electricity and heat production (sometimes called a virtual power plant).
Siemens has multiple demand side management strategies for industrial, commercial and residential consumers which include everything from Building Automation Systems, to industrial energy optimization systems. Siemens is also a leader in electro mobility and can deploy turnkey solutions for electric vehicle charging and vehicle charging management.
Siemens will work with you to design and deliver a comprehensive, and integrated Microgrid solution for your energy infrastructure project. Our proven expertise with complex decentralized energy sources, leading control systems, and transmission and distribution systems, along with our suite of services, make us an ideal partner for stakeholders.
Our Microgrid solutions will have the ability to demonstrate a robust technical solution capable of cutting-edge functionality, including but not limited to: a master command and control center, multiple energy sources, grid independence, market participation, energy storage, demand response, and more. Siemens has prepared an approach to allow customers the ability to identify, understand and mitigate execution risks while maintaining the project timeline and budget. Given the complexity and leading-edge nature of the project, effective program management is critical to success.
Our Four Stage Approach:
Siemens will collect all relevant data and conduct extensive planning assessment sessions on-site, developing a highly secure, reliable, and sustainable solution. Once the feasible Microgrid solutions are analyzed, Siemens will work to detail the technical and financial requirements needed to achieve your objectives.
We will also evaluate any requirements from the State regulatory commission, the local utility, or other entities that are deemed critical. Siemens' recommended plan will outline appropriate options for management roles within the agreed upon scope of work. This includes identifying the appropriate partners for execution and operation of the Microgrid plan. At this point, long-term operational targets, grid measurement criteria, and warranty conditions will be identified in coordination with a preliminary operational plan.
Consulting Services and Simulation Software:
This stage is the execution of the plan detailed in Stage 1. Detail design and Engineering will start the process followed by the evaluation of potential suppliers according to the best fit with requirements and to minimize technical, integration, and delivery risks. Siemens uses a systematic and structured project management process which utilizes methods and tools used worldwide to ensure operational excellence, risk mitigation, and continuous process improvement. Clear-cut roles and responsibilities will be identified. Milestones will be determined and the desired business impact and deliverables will be measured.
This stage of the microgrid project consists of the following two sequential steps:
1) Factory integration and testing phrase
2) Site installation, testing and commissioning phrase
Siemens conducts rigorous factory integration and testing prior to the shipment. The microgrid system will go through system integration testing at our state-of-the-art testing facility in Raleigh, NC. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), including Pre-FAT, is to check all equipment meets the specification. It also ensures all equipment, both software and hardware is fully integrated and well functioned.
On site commissioning is performed by our experienced and licensed engineers. Based upon a specific project, our strategic partners who provide some hardware and/or software components will be incorporated into our commissioning team as well. At the successful completion of Site Acceptance Test (SAT), a Project Acceptance Certificate (PAC) is generated and signed off. The microgrid system is handed over for commercial operation.
The intelligence behind the safe and reliable operation of a microgrid is an automation system that can manage complex electric and thermal systems. Siemens has a portfolio of proven systems capable of managing a microgrid – the system of choice depends on the size and complexity of the microgrid.
The Siemens Spectrum Power™ Microgrid Management System (MGMS) is a powerful supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system recognized worldwide for flexibility, reliability and expandability. Model-based applications support advanced Microgrid optimization of the entire energy infrastructure system.

High-penetration renewables, regulatory (PUC) mandates, government renewable targets, and aging infrastructure are strong business drivers for utilities to support their customers with distributed energy solutions, including microgrids. Utilities should be evaluting new business models to support solutions and services in both regulated and unregulated markets.
Cities & Municipalities
Energy reliability and resiliency against events that cause grid outages, regulatory (PUC) changes, and cost effective solutions are driving communities throughout North America to consider microgrid solutions. Local, state, and federal governments are creating incentives and programs for investment in our electrical infrastructure. Localized energy generation and the associated advanced control provide significant cost and reliability improvements for many areas throughout our nation.
Energy Security for mission critical facilities, aging infrastructure, energy cost reduction, increased government renewable targets and emissions reductions are all drivers for military installations to invest in microgrid technology. Most federal bases currently have or are considering on-site generation which needs to be integrated into a broad-scale energy infrastructure architecture that includes strong control and communications networks.
Commercial & Industrial
Reduced energy costs, increased energy market participation options, adoption of renewable and on-site energy for sustainability or technology leadership purposes are all reasons that industrial and commercial campuses are looking for advanced microgrid solutions. As privately owned and operated entities, many technology solutions exist to provide value with fewer implementation barriers than other market segments.

Edward Said, Imperialist
The hegemonic impulse of post-colonialism.
Oct 8, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 04 • By STANLEY KURTZ
CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN RAILING AGAINST the leftist takeover of the academy for a generation, with little to show for their efforts. A scholarly attack on Jane Austen for her unwitting complicity with British imperialism in Mansfield Park is, after all, unlikely to stir public outrage. But what about being told that more than 5,000 New Yorkers are dead for their unwitting complicity with American "imperialism"?
This latter piece of political and moral lunacy has cropped up in more campus discussions than one can count, infuriating decent conservatives and liberals alike. What's interesting is that the apologias for the World Trade Center destruction are more intimately connected with the assault on Jane Austen than you might think.
Step away from your television set and into the groves of academe and you will learn from distinguished scholars that the terrorist attack on America is our own fault, the ripe fruit of this country's imperial hegemony. That, at any rate, is the view of the campus left, nowhere more powerful than in the host of humanistic disciplines that sponsor studies of the Middle East, South Asia, China, and Africa. And when it comes to the study of the world outside the West, the man to whom the campus left turns for guidance is Edward Said, the same literary critic who devised that critique of Jane Austen.
The public knows Edward Said as the most prominent American supporter of the Palestinian cause, the onetime confidant of Yasser Arafat (until Arafat's "capitulation" to the peace process), who was famously and incongruously photographed—a Columbia professor in southern Lebanon—hurling a rock at a guardhouse on the Israeli border. But Said's real influence has been as the founder of "post-colonial theory," arguably the dominant intellectual paradigm in those sections of the academy dedicated to the study of non-Western cultures.
A past president of the Modern Language Association, Said has primarily influenced departments of literature and languages, but the reach of post-colonial theory extends also to "area studies" and to the social sciences, especially departments of anthropology. Not only is post-colonial theory pervasive at the likes of Said's Columbia, but even on a once traditionalist campus like the University of Chicago, the study of non-Western cultures is arguably now shaped more by post-colonial theory than by any other single paradigm.
At a stroke, Said's 1978 book Orientalism created post-colonial theory. Drawing on the work of French post-structuralist Michel Foucault, and taking aim at the traditional liberal understanding of the humanities, Orientalism is built upon the supposition that there is no such thing as disinterested knowledge, that all knowledge is contaminated by its entanglement with power. It follows that all Western knowledge of, say, the Middle East or South Asia must wittingly or unwittingly serve the purposes of imperialist (or present-day "neo-imperialist") domination.
Said has a field day in Orientalism raking over outdated European accounts of cultural primitivism and religious ignorance in colonial domains. The simplistic and demeaning depictions of the Orient favored by the European colonists, Said plausibly claims, served as rationalizations for European rule. The colonial powers could only justify their civilizing mission by portraying their charges as ignorant savages.
But the cleverest twist in Said's theory is his claim that even the most sophisticated and respectful Western accounts of foreign cultures are actually tools of imperialist oppression. Just by treating Islamic societies as different from the West, scholars commit an act of highhanded condescension. The insinuation hiding behind even the most respectful study of cultural difference, Said claims, is that the people who practice exotic customs, however intriguing or complex they may be, are sufficiently irrational as to be unfit to rule themselves.
So the Western scholar gets it coming and going. Say something nice about other cultures, and you're an evil imperialist; say something nasty, and you're worse. Although Said tries to deny it, the upshot of his theory is that no Westerner, at any time or place, is capable of attaining fair or truthful knowledge of a non-Western culture. Of course that view implicates Said in exactly the sort of stereotyping he decries.
And as one of Said's few critics in the academy, Princeton professor Bernard Lewis, points out, Said never successfully establishes the supposed connection between Orientalist knowledge and Western colonial power. German scholars, for example, were leaders in the European study of the Orient, yet the Germans had no empire in the area. Said even resorts to backdating Western colonial expansion to make it appear to coincide with the much earlier development of scholarship on the East.

| Gigaremo chapter 10 . 10/25/2011
Skully is just FTW. XD
I'm glad you've started updating this again, it's your best story by a LONG way :D
| Lord Shockwave chapter 4 . 10/17/2011
I didnt review this chapter yet.
The one thing you do amazing is the way you make your villains. If you look at Meph, who was the antagonist in Demotivation and is now something of an anti-hero in this story. And Shock, who starts out as a minor character now becomes the main villain. Thats really awesome work.
And you make Carl and Denise romance as the best. You just can't get enough of their love story. Great job man.

IMO.... Don't ask. They will flat out say "no"... They don't want to lose 1 red cent anywhere on anything, and are rather annoying in this regard. If you have a smaller camera bag take that. No need for the full kit. If it's more likely to pass without notice, go for it. Just go EARLY. Early enough that if they absolutely say "NO!" at the doors you can go lock it in your car, get back, and still not miss anything.
I wouldn't take anything more than a 200mm on the high end (or maybe a 2x converter with the 200 -- but this eats up light) because you don't want to be obtrusive.
Question I'd have is: Do you just want some pictures for fun? Or are you really trying to capture some epic serious shot of players in the middle of a game?
If the first, then take a light kit (no flash -- you can say "hey, it doesn't even have a flash!" to try and plead your case if they object) and have some fun.
If the second, then maybe go about it more seriously, get permission, or go to a college game or a high school game and look for similar passion/setting/gameplay to get that epic shot.
I took my AE-1P into the opera for the Nutcracker this winter. Would have been fine if the people IMMEDIATELY off my left hand side hadn't started the flash going on their digital P&S. Next thing usher goes around saying put that away please.
Oh well, I got a few shots of the room before the show started and before that. Thing is to remain unobtrusive. Remain polite, calm, but just don't flaunt it. That's my philosophy with events and photos.
Of course, throw that out the window if the event is outside.

Azealia Banks can now add equestrian to her list of skills. Her three day Twitter hiatus resulted in a cowgirl horseback riding Banks in the Rankin directed video for "Liquorice." Banks is solo as she wanders through the desert with her beautiful horse. Wild Wild West meets Harlem in the scenic backdrop of mountains, grass and woods. Banks owns her inner cowgirl with her pistol, rapping in all black next to her black horse. She plays up just the right amount of sexy yet playfulness to make the guys go gaga over her liquorice.
Although actual liquorice doesn't make an appearance, which would have been totally corny, instead she teasingly has fun with a red, white and blue popsicle to match her American flag outfit. Back at the barn she plays with a juicy hotdog. Just when you think she's going to eat it she smushes it with her hand as ketchup and mustard gushes out. It's all so western. And we love every minute of it. Cowgirl Azealia, Mermaid Azealia, Harlem bred Azealia, it doesn't matter. As long as Azealia Banks is putting out music, we're listening.

Vancouver Police MuseumRead More240 East Cordova Street used to be the address where Vancouver?s police officers, morticians, judges, and dead converged. The building, which was built in 1932, served as the city?s coroner?s court and morgue until the 1980s and the city analyst?s lab until 1995. Countless toxicology tests and several high-profile investigations have taken place between the building?s walls, including the Castellani Milkshake Murder and Errol Flynn?s autopsy. Fittingly, given the building?s significance to Vancouver's criminal-justice history, it is now home to the Vancouver Police Museum. To date, the museum staff has curated a selection of approximately 20,000 historical artifacts, including confiscated weapons, counterfeit currency, photographs, paperwork, and vintage police vehicles. Currently, 40 per cent of the collection is on display in the museum?s several exhibits, one of which allows visitors to explore a coroner?s forensic lab. The museum also offers educational programs such as walking tours and a two-hour forensic-science program. During this program, guests scour a faux crime scene for clues and try to prevent the brash, young rookie cop from running off into the night to find the perpetrator.240 E Cordova St.Vancouver, BC CA

Since its rebranding in 2009 the MOV has become a leader in the reimagining of museums. Our exhibitions are Vancouver centric and designed to make the viewer think not just about the objects, but their greater context. We've played host to two Venice Biennale in Architecture projects. We've even gone so far as to hire a Curator of Contemporary Issues. We are a bold, contemporary museum, and we can't wait for you to visit.1100 Chestnut St.Vancouver, BC CA

KEY: Texans star running back Arian Foster usually basks in the spotlight but backup Justin Forsett made the biggest play of the game, though it shouldn't have counted. Forsett scored on an 81-yard run in the third quarter, pulling the Texans within three points. He should have been ruled down by contact in Texans territory but the automatic replay review was nullified when Lions coach Jim Schwartz threw a challenge flag prior to the review. That not only cost Detroit six points, it resulted in a 15-yard penalty during the ensuing kickoff. TEXANS SAID: "Obviously, that's a big break in the game for us. But you make your breaks when you work your tail off. We got a couple throughout the day." -- Coach Gary Kubiak on Forsett's controversial touchdown. LIONS SAID: "He was obviously down. That's the thing that was most disappointing. He was down on the field and nobody blew the whistle and the guy got up and kept on running. That's still no excuse. You don't challenge turnovers and ...

A new initiative by The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles aims to prove that it doesn't take a lot of money to make a big difference.
The ChangeMaker Challenge will award small grants to project proposals that demonstrate the greatest potential to make an impact in the areas of transportation, civic life, economic development, education and fighting hunger in this city.
"Maybe you've got an idea for an ongoing service project, or a grassroots initiative, or an art installation that will change the face of Los Angeles. ... In the spirit of tikkun olam [repairing the world], we're looking for innovative ideas that will make L.A. a better place for us all. If your idea is chosen, we'll make it take off together!" read a statement released by Federation the week of Sept 29.
The challenge will award grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, with a panel of L.A. community and civic leaders serving as judges. Jews and non-Jews, whether as individuals or as members of organizations or groups, are eligible to submit a proposal by Nov. 8. Winners will be announced Dec. 1.
"A key goal of the ChangeMaker Challenge is to build strong ties between the Jewish community and other communities across Los Angeles, so those applying from outside the Jewish community will be encouraged to partner with the Jewish community, and vice versa," Federation's Web site states. "The Jewish Federation will help applicants make those connections."
The ChangeMaker Challenge is part of Federation's Community Engagement Strategic Initiative.

A n00b goes Rallye Racing
View Single Post
Joined: Feb 2008
Location: Oviedo, España
Oddometer: 5,261
Some more background:
I started motorbiking only in 2004 thanks to D, my wife, it was always one of her dreams to go dirt biking. We both got 1985 Honda XR250´s and charged around on dirt all over Potgietersrust/Mokopane (Northern South Africa). I had a couple of mates who showed me the ropes. I quickly maxed out on the 250 chasing Theun´s WR 450 and came off badly on the railway line road to Polokwane one day. I was in his dust and simply never saw the turn at all. It was a miracle I never hit a rail stuck in the ground. I think I wouldnt be here today had I taken it out. I nevertheless had a month long (mild) concussion, some broken ribs, holes in my legs, it wasnt pretty. But I became less windgat after that. Not for long though. I jumped the bike through a barbed wire fence at 90km/hr in a township on the way to the mine one morning and survived somehow. I enjoyed that bike, but it was too small for me. We did a couple of holidays with them on a trailer, hitting dirt roads all over Limpopo, Mpumalanga & Swaziland. Those were good days, with some riding off piste too. I thought I got quite good at riding after a while.
When we went to Ghana I found an old 650 Dakar and rode some awesome jungle roads with it. So when we came to Peru, we decided to gift ourselves with a new 800GS and for D a 650GS, just like Puddles bike. It took about a year before we finally bought the bikes in South Africa (I got one of the 1st 800´s), and so after no riding for more than a year we arranged to fly in pick up the bikes do them up and then go and do the Country Trax course. We ran them in for 600km on tar, serviced them, blinged them with freaking expensive stuff from a guy called Ray (what a fool I was!), and setoff for the Country trax course. It was excellent, but we had forgotten how to ride and we were unused to the new bikes. Anyway after a good but tough course on the new bikes we setout on a tour of Swaziland by dirt which turned out to be a bit of an epic.
Later on our holiday we returned to Serala in the Limpopo Drakensburg on our bikes, one of our old 250 routes. Happy the bikes were running fine, we then we shipped the bikes to Peru, and scince then we have done only about 20,000km on them, 6,000km on tar the rest on dirt. I service the bikes myself as there is no BMW dealer in Peru. The roads here are tight and windy, its mostly steep mountains here so we don´t have too much pen dirt highways like you get in SA. However in the desert you can get off-piste easily and really rocket along if you want. You just have to be careful because there are hidden holes and crests and things which can take you out big time.
Last year in July (I think?) we got a new Katoom 450EXC for D to practice on, and the idea was I would get one too, but in the meantime I would just use my 800. So Im very confident on my 800, and I have no problem taking it into technical riding. Im not brave enough to do dunes on it yet, I think I might if D came with, but she hates sand after two bad falls in the sand at the Country Trax course. The KTM really helped with D´s confidence though. I started doing solo trips out on the KTM in October, and it reminded me of the XR250 days back in SA.
I love it and have written a report can be found
describing the type of riding I had been doing with it. That was actually my first serious attempt at riding the dunes of the northern Atacama. Since then Ive come a long way, and ride dunes with much more confidence. I still have a lot to learn, but more Time In The Saddle (TITS) will hopefully address it.
I really like fast tracks and off piste riding. For me its about covering distance, and I have done some pretty hard 12-14 hour dirt only trips on my BMW. Ive only done up to 150km trips on the Katoom.
So thats about the sum of my experience. Not much at all really, perhaps in total 25-30,000km in dirt, no more. Hopefully with some hard training over the next couple of months I will be able to tackle a rally and prove that anyone can do it if they put their minds to it.
The Short term Plan:
Im lined up to go to Rally PanAm´s rally school next month.
I can´t wait, but suspect Im going to see my ass
among the 15 or so super-experienced guys going as well. Hopefully I´ll learn a lot from them and come back in one piece.
Dreaming of Dakar
Everyone has a max speed, 90% of that max speed is much safer and easier, and if that 90% speed isn't fast enough at Dakar, you enter the snowball.
