Which is better LED-DLP or LCD?

Re: Which is better LED-DLP or LCD?
Loaded question. and no simple answer..
The only manufacturer of LED based DLP's is Samsung.
Their current model line is the HL-??A750 line (the 650's are lamp based models)
in the A750 line: its available in 61 and 67 inches. The only difference is screen size.
between the 07' and '08 models, there are really only a small number of changes.
2nd generation phatlight LED engine (little brighter, and other minor tweaks)
1080p support
slimmer cabinet
A few menu option changes (and default setting changes)
07 models had 56 and 61 inch, 08 has 61 and 67 inches (brighter LED's)
Note: the A750 line has no color wheel. That's for all the white light lamp based units.
The Lamp based units are cheaper to buy (not so much anymore), but much more expensive to operate day to day (check the operating power consumption), and will need a lamp replacements every 1-2 years (at $400 each) and the lamps are HOT. Higher AC bills.
The biggest decision between the two technologies is the cabinet.
Are you willing to have a big box (rear projection DLP) or do you demand/need the 2-3 inches for a wall mount?
(IF you plan of standing on a table/shelf, its irrelevant. Just "but its thin' bragging rights)
Conversely, Flat panel, wall mountable LCD's:
Dozens of manufacturers make them, with dozens of options, each model with its own strengths and weaknesses. LED back lighting for LCD displays are the new thing coming.
(There are so many LCD options, that you could not keep a web site accurate)
I personally have chosen the Samsung 61A750 LED DLP.
my reasoning:
Cost factor: 61 inches for about $1800 ($300 more = 67 inches)
Cost factor: changing technology means probable replacement within 4-5 years anyway.
Fantastic picture
HDMI 1.3 support
No lamp to replace
no screen-door effect (DLP wobbulation)
Space considerations (its fits well in my 15x20 family room)
Size: I want a LARGE screen and quality LCD and Plasma in 60+ inches is far outside my budget. (I considered front projection, but the daytime weakness put me off)
good contrasts (even in day)
more eco-friendly (no plasma gas. less/smaller parts than big LCD's)
Efficient power usage to lamp units or plasmas. (Cheaper to run)
Serviceable: the light engine (chip) and the DLP chip are actually small solid state components
Zero moving parts
pleased user base
No burn in concerns
underlying high frequency of pixel updates (smoother picture IMHO)
LCD and Plasmas are more fragile.
LCD's fade over time. To fix it, you effectively replace the entire unit. (aka: nearly un-serviceable)
When individual pixels go out, you need to have a MAJOR $$ service, or replace the unit
LCD's are fragile and heavier, especially in larger sizes
here is a great thread on the AVS forum dedicated to the A750 line
its 200-300 pages of happy users.
one more reminder.
An HD TV needs good HD sources to shine. (as well as all the other HD Audio components)
Many cable/Sat providers are over compressing the signal to the point that it barely qualified as HD anymore. (comcast, DirectV, and too many others)
Verizon FIOS shines in this regard.
Blu-Ray: very title specific. It all depends how how well they made the disk and the original source. Some new disks are no better than their older DVD cousins.
Welcome to the HD addiction.
Say goodbye to your spare $$$.
I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies another this right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it. Thomas Paine (1737-1809), The Age of Reason, 1783

I cannot stomach watching this clown one second longer.:eck15:
As far as Cam's execution is concerned...
I'm in favor of it.
If he wants to have Joe pass so bad why not run a playaction out of the I-formation or a goalline formation? They probably would NOT expect that...but Joe in the shotgun? The Stoolers will take that all day! At least he took the sack which was actually pretty smart.
I swear, when they went to the huddle, the TV broadcast was showing an overhead view of the huddle and IT LOOKED TO ME like Flacco was turning to look back at the sideline like "WTF?"
When I saw that, I thought "no way, they are going to pass?!? No way!" Then they come out in a shotgun formation, and Flacco (wisely) doesn't even attempt to pass, he takes the sack. Because RUNNING THE CLOCK was what mattered there.
So yeah, we had them in a checkmate situation. We come out in I formation and either run the ball or fake the run (if we want to get cute, which is stupid, but at least it's defensible as a play call in this situation). Instead we come out in SHOTGUN... wow. At least run it on a draw to Ray Rice. Don't PASS!
Thank god Flacco is too smart to throw the ball. An incompletion changes that last drive considerably.
Maybe the worst play call of all time, and he's had some whoppers. Shotgun 3 wide formation when 2 yards wins you the game and no defensive timeouts.
Fucking LOL. Get bent, Cam.
We need to hire a translator ... someone who Cam can tell the play to and then relay it into Joe. For example on the 3rd and 2 at the end of the game it would work like this.....
Cam: Shotgun, pass, zebra 32 deep 9's
Translator to Joe: Run, Ray Rice you pick were at the line....
that simple
Put Leach & Rice in the backfield.
Fake handoff to Leach who runs up the middle to actually block (or get tackled, same effect really)
Have Rice run ball to the left.
1st down.
Game Over.
INEXPLICABLE play calling by CAM. EVEN if we got penetrated on 3rd down, we would have been better off running it and taking the 40 % chance of converting. Flacco was wise to take the sack for sure.
Cam needs to go right now, all this was right infront of Ozzie, surely he has to be thinking about something.
How dare Cam blow it against the leagues number one defense on the road.
Inexcusable the way he ....
I'm sorry. I can't even go on with the sarcasm.
How do you not run on a 3rd and 2 with the game on the line. Instead you call a pass play with the chance of INC (clock stops), INT, Strip Sack, so many negative variables than just lining up jumbo and running to the right with 2 hands on the ball. Regardless if you get the first down the clock keeps running. 9.9 out 10 OC's call a run there. Cam never seems to amaze me. I am so dis-trout about that play call. It's bad when your happy your QB takes a sack. So effing pathetic Cam.
Unfortunately the Ravens are 8-2,so Cam stays. LOL That was the Steelers defense that gave up three drives that amounted to 6 points. Tucker missed for 3 points. ST have done well lately and deserved a lot of credit. I'll take the win, like the win the great steelers had against the chiefs last week.
I can't get over that call.
Look, it's really easy to use hindsight to criticize a play call. I'm always hesitant to do that. The screen play on 3rd and 13 looks really dumb when it doesn't work, but if it does, it's a great call. I'm not gonna criticize a play call like that, because what do I know sitting at home watching TV...? Not much. There is a chess match going on and I don't understand the intricacies of it.
But this situation was ridiculous. We had the clear strategic advantage, and WE GAVE OUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE AWAY THE MOMENT WE LINED UP IN SHOTGUN. Honestly, I don't even care if it's a pass at the end of the day. I don't. As long as you line up in a formation that MAKES THE DEFENSE PLAY THE RUN. Because the defense knew we'd run... everyone knew we'd run.
Fine, you really wanna pass?!?! Don't line up in shotgun! Jesus, I can't stop. That was high school JV level bad.

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By JOHN RABY AP Sports Writer The Big 12's attention is on Kansas State's national championship dreams, yet there's plenty left to be decided in the conference over the final weeks. Six teams are bowl eligible, with Iowa State, West Virginia and Baylor still battling for chances to fill out the league's bowl slots. Kansas State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) can clinch at least a share of its first conference championship since 2003 with a win Saturday night at Baylor. The Wildcats moved into the top spot in the Bowl Championship Series rankings after Alabama lost to Texas A&M. No. 13 Oklahoma and No. 18 Texas remain alive for a possible BCS bowl. If Kansas State gets the league's automatic berth, the Sooners and Longhorns would be eliminated from consideration for at-large berths with another loss.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2014)
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2014)
Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) is the NHS ambulance service covering most of Yorkshire in England formed on 1 July 2006 following the merges of the former West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (WYMAS), South Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (SYMAS) and Tees, East and North Yorkshire Ambulance service (TENYAS). It is one of ten Ambulance Trusts providing England with emergency medical services, free at the point of care and as part of the National Health Service it receives direct government funding for its role.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YAS) serves a population of five million people and covers the whole of the East Riding of Yorkshire (including Kingston upon Hull), South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire along with the majority of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire (including the City of York). Excluded are Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and the southern part of Stockton-on-Tees which are all covered by the North East Ambulance Service.
YAS's main roles are to:
- receive 999 calls in two virtual emergency operations centres, based in Wakefield and York, and deploy the most appropriate response to meet patients' needs
- respond to 999 calls by getting medical help to patients who have serious or life-threatening injuries or illnesses as quickly as possible
- take eligible patients to and from their hospital appointments with our non-emergency Patient Transport Service
- provide the NHS 111 urgent medical help and advice line in Yorkshire and the Humber as well as North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and Bassetlaw.
The area which YAS covers includes the cities of Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Ripon, Sheffield, Wakefield and York, and the principal towns of Barnsley, Beverley, Doncaster, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Skipton and Scarborough. The region includes parts of the M1, A1(M), M18, M180, M62, M621 and M606 motorways and the Yorkshire Dales.
The Interim Chief Executive is Rod Barnes who has been working as the Executive Director of Finance and Performance at Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust since October 2011. His background is generally finance-based and he has worked in a number of other NHS provider organisations including Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Great Western Ambulance Service. He began his NHS career at Airedale and Harrogate district hospitals and has held a wide variety of leadership positions.
He replaced David Whiting, Chief Executive between February 2011 and November 2014, who left to pursue new opportunities and challenges.
Other former Chief Executives were Jayne Barnes OBE (1 July 2006 – 14 January 2008) and Martyn Pritchard (15 January 2008 – June 2010). Barnes emigrated to Australia to take up the post of Assistant Commissioner of Queensland Ambulance Service (South East region) and Pritchard left to take up a role at the Strategic Health Authority.[1]
Previous members of the executive team have left under less than auspicious circumstances. David Forster, the Policy and Strategy Director, resigned his position in 2010 after stating that the NHS employed too many who are lazy, unproductive, obstinate, militant, aggressive at every turn he also claimed some employees couldn't secure a job anywhere outside the bloated public sector where mediocrity is too often shielded by weak and unprincipled HR policies. [2]
Yorkshire Ambulance Service was formed on 1 July 2006 after the merger of the Tees, East and North Yorkshire Ambulance Service (TENYAS), South Yorkshire Ambulance Service (SYAS) and the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (WYMAS) around the same time as many of the ambulance services in England merged with neighbouring services to become conterminous with the government regions.
West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service[edit]
WYMAS was formed in 1974 covering the then new metropolitan county of West Yorkshire and the Craven district of North Yorkshire. It brought together some of the individual city ambulance services which existed across the area and in 1992, it became an NHS trust, providing 24-hour emergency and healthcare services to more than 2.1 million people across the region. WYMAS had 21 ambulance stations within its operating area.
Tees, East and North Yorkshire Ambulance Service[edit]
TENYAS was formed on 1 April 1999 as a merger of the former Cleveland, Humberside and North Yorkshire ambulance services and served the urban areas of Middlesbrough, York and Hull along with the rural areas of the Yorkshire Dales, Wolds, covering an area of approximately 4,500 square miles (12,000 km2). TENYAS had 37 ambulance stations within its operating area and resources were deployed from the two control rooms situated in Middlesbrough and York. The TENYAS operating area was broken up on 1 July 2006, with the former Cleveland area now covered by the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS). Humberside Ambulance Service had lost the A&E cover contract for the North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire areas to Lincolnshire Ambulance Service before the existence of TENYAS.
South Yorkshire Ambulance Service[edit]
SYAS was formed in 1974 as the South Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service covering the then new metropolitan county of South Yorkshire. On 1 April 1992 it became an NHS Trust and served over 1.4 million people in an area of over 600 square miles (1,600 km2).
YAS operates just over 500 emergency vehicles which are a mix of Double Crewed Ambulance (DCAs), crewed by two members of staff (usually a qualified Paramedic or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) working with an Emergency Care Assistant) and Rapid Response Vehicles (RRVs) which are crewed by a single paramedic, EMT or Emergency Care Practitioner.
YAS also has over 450 Patient Transport Service (PTS) vehicles which are operated by around 696 PTS staff.[3]
YAS can deploy rescue helicopters, including two MD 902 Explorer Helicopters of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to emergencies and incidents across the service area, however the Air Ambulance Service is a charity and not an integral part of YAS – paramedics are provided by YAS and work on a rota with doctors who are voluntary members of the BASICS (British Association for Immediate Care) to offer additional medical skills.
The Trust entered into a contract with Medical (Europe) Ltd of Malton trading as North of England Ambulance Service by which it could call on up to 13 ambulances, each with two crew members, to cover staff shortages in 2012. This contract was ended in early 2014, however YAS has the ability to call on private companies and St John Ambulance to provide cover in times of extreme need, and a long term contract is held with St John to provide fully crewed ambulances to YAS for emergency and non-emergency work.
Staff roles[edit]
YAS employs 4,679 staff, who together with 1,055 volunteers, provide a vital 24-hour emergency and healthcare service. The largest proportion of staff, over 62%, are employed in operational patient-facing roles including Accident and Emergency, Patient Transport Service, NHS 111, Hazardous Area Response Team, Yorkshire Air Ambulance paramedics, Emergency Operations Centre, Resilience and Special Services, Private and Events, Resource and Embrace paediatric and neonatal transport service.[4] There are various job roles which enable the service to operate, here are a few that are directly involved in the frontline and the control room of the service:[5]
Emergency Operations Centre
- Emergency Operations Centre Call Handler
- Emergency Operations Centre Call Dispatcher
- Clinical Advisor
Operational A&E Frontline
- Urgent Care Support Worker (UCSW)
- Emergency Care Assistant (ECA)
- Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
- Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (aEMT)
- Paramedic
- Paramedic Practitioner
- Emergency Care Practitioner (ECPs)
- Paramedic aboard the Yorkshire Air Ambulance
- BASICS Doctor
Operational Patient Transport Services Frontline
- PTS Ambulance Driver (Band 2)
- PTS Ambulance Care Assistant (Band 3)
- Community First Responder
- PTS Car Driver
Accident and Emergency[edit]
In 2013–14, YAS staff received 795,750 emergency and urgent calls, an average of over 2,180 calls a day. YAS responded to a total of 708,883 incidents by either a vehicle arriving on scene or by telephone advice. Of these, 267,716 were categorised as immediately life-threatening.
Like other English ambulance trusts, YAS has experienced year-on-year growth in activity since it was established in 2006; overall response activity was up by 2% from 2012–13 to 2013–14.
YAS delivered the national emergency response target (75% of immediately life-threatening calls were reached in eight minutes and 95% of these calls within 19 minutes) for the third consecutive year in 2013–14.[6] This was only achieved by YAS downgrading a large number of calls to a less serious category, they are due to be investigated by the CQC for this.[7]
Patient Transport Service (PTS)[edit]
YAS PTS is the largest ambulance provider of non-emergency transport in Yorkshire and the Humber. In 2013–14, YAS PTS undertook 886,312 non-emergency journeys.[8]
Transport is provided for people who are unable to use public or other transport due to their medical condition. This includes those:
- attending hospital outpatient clinics and community-based care
- being admitted to or discharged from hospital
- needing life-saving treatment such as chemotherapy or renal dialysis.
NHS 111[edit]
YAS runs the NHS 111 service in Yorkshire and the Humber, Bassetlaw, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The service took its one millionth call in February 2014 and is one of the highest performing NHS 111 services in England. Up to the end of 2013–14, the service responded to 1,100,599 calls, 94.9% of which were answered within 60 seconds (the national target is 95%).[9]
Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charitable Fund[edit]
YAS has its own Charitable Fund which receives donations and legacies from grateful patients, members of the public and fundraising initiatives throughout Yorkshire.
The Charitable Fund exists to support the work of the Trust. Key uses of funds include the provision of additional training and equipment for services over and above the level that would normally be delivered as part of core NHS funding.
During 2013–14 and continuing into 2014, the Charitable Fund has been focusing its efforts on raising money for community medical units, which provide on-scene medical treatment for patients with minor injuries and illnesses, and public access defibrillators.[10]
YAS Community and Commercial Training[edit]
The YAS Community and Commercial Training Department has provided first aid and other training services to the NHS, local community and many other organisations for over 15 years. Income generated from these commercial activities is used directly to help fund YAS community initiatives in Yorkshire and the Humber.[11]
University First Responders[edit]
Students from the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) and Community First Responders (CFR) from across Yorkshire received training from YAS at Hull Royal Infirmary. There are currently 63 medical students trained as Community First Responders in Hull and York who will respond to emergency calls alongside YAS within their community.[12]

Investing to accomodate: hotel purchases up 50%, Middle East considered 'most active buyers'
Investment volumes in the hotel industry across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) surged 53 per cent to €8.2 billion in the first nine months underscoring the vibrant revival of the region's hospitality industry, Jones Lang LaSalle said.
While single asset deals secured a 54 per cent share of transaction volumes overall, up 13 per cent compared to last year, yhe rest came from a number of notable portfolio deals driving transaction volumes up by more than 160 per cent, JLL said in a report.
The sale of the Grand Plaza Serviced Apartments in London which was sold to the Federal Land Development Authority of Malaysia for a reported €116.6 million, was among the most notable single asset transactions during the third quarter. Other transactions included the sale of First Hotel Amaranten in Stockholm for €114.7 million and the Hotel Eden in Rome to The Dorchester Group for €105 million.
The GCC region is witnessing a vibrant growth in hotel industry. A total of 150 hotels are slated to open this year in the region and a further 450 are in the pipeline, according to John Worsley, chairman of bench events of the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference.
In 2012, Middle Eastern investors were one of the most active buyers of hotel real estate, acquiring assets with a total value of $1.7 billion, about 15 per cent of total investment volumes in EMEA. The increased tourist arrivals to the GCC region have grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 8.5 per cent over 2002–2011, significantly above the global growth of 3.7 per cent.
The JLL report said the UK remained the most liquid market in EMEA, with investment volumes exceeding €2.6 billion by September — a 32 per cent share of total transaction volumes — followed by France at €1.5 billion (19 per cent). The dominant investor groups included sovereign wealth funds representing 26 per cent of total investment volumes, followed by investment funds and private equity firms with 24 per cent share.
"Continuing their prevalent asset-light strategy of the past decade, hotel operators were the most active sellers during the first nine months of 2013, accounting for a 29% market share of disposals," said the report.
The €2.3 billion worth of transactions by operators included the sale of 27 Principal Hayley hotels to Starwood Capital, while Fattal Group's Leonardo Hotels led a consortium of international investors to acquire Queens Moat Houses (Germany) Holding GmbH.
The third quarter reported the strongest quarterly growth so far this year, with transaction volumes up almost 70 per cent compared to the same quarter in 2012, said Jonathan Hubbard, CEO Northern Europe for Jones Lang LaSalle's Hotels & Hospitality Group.
"With just three months to go until year-end, transaction volumes across EMEA look likely exceed €10 billion for 2013, well ahead of initial expectations for the year, reflecting the increasingly positive investor outlook."
"The UK and France continue to lead transaction activity across EMEA, with almost 40 per cent of the €2.3 billion of third quarter transactions occurring in these countries," said Christoph Härle, CEO Continental Europe for Jones Lang LaSalle's Hotels & Hospitality Group.
"Trading performance in Southern Europe is picking up pace, with countries such as Portugal and Italy posting robust RevPAR growth. This is good news for investors looking to purchase assets in these countries that were, just some time ago, struggling through the economic crisis," said Härle.

Quinapril Dosage
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. ALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Usual Adult Dose for:
Additional dosage information:
Usual Adult Dose for Hypertension
Initial dose: 10 mg orally once a day in patients not on diuretics
Maintenance dose: 20 to 80 mg/day orally, given in 1 to 2 divided doses
Renal Dose Adjustments
CrCl 30 to 60 mL/min:
Initial dose: 5 mg orally once a day
CrCl 10 to 30 mL/min:
Initial dose: 2.5 mg orally once a day
Liver Dose Adjustments
Data not available
Dose Adjustments
Antihypertensive doses should be adjusted according to blood pressure response measured at peak (2-6 hours after dosing) and trough (predosing). Generally, dosage adjustments should be made at intervals of at least 2 weeks.
In some patients treated once daily, the antihypertensive effect may diminish toward the end of the dosing interval. In such patients an increase in dosage or twice daily administration may be warranted. In general, doses of 40-80 mg and divided doses give a somewhat greater effect at the end of the dosing interval.
Heart Failure doses should be titrated at weekly intervals until an effective dose is reached or undesirable hypotension, orthostasis, or azotemia prohibit reaching this dose.
Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients (less than 18 years of age).
Quinapril is not removed by hemo- or peritoneal dialysis.
Other Comments
If blood pressure is not adequately controlled with quinapril monotherapy, a diuretic may be added.
Quinapril is indicated as adjunctive therapy for treating heart failure when added to conventional therapy including diuretics and/or digitalis.
Compared with Caucasian patients, Black patients have a reduced blood pressure response to monotherapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers; however, the reduced response is largely eliminated if combination therapy that includes an adequate dose of a diuretic is instituted.
Following first time MI, all ACE inhibitors, at comparable appropriate dosages, appear to be equally effective for reducing mortality and recurrent MI rates.

A win-win for VermontFebruary 28,2013
A win-win for Vermont
With concern for future generations and their power needs, I oppose putting a moratorium on wind power in Vermont, an issue discussed on the Senate floor in the Statehouse. As we have become slaves to imported oil, we must look forward to the use of renewable energy, which is readily available to us in Vermont, namely wind, solar and small hydro. The development and use of local clean energy will keep our money here in Vermont and positively affect our economy.
Using just 4 percent of Vermonts ridgelines, 25 percent of the states electrical needs could be met, which would offset 1.27 billion pounds of carbon dioxide annually. That is the equivalent of removing 111,000 automobiles from the highways. Vermont needs to move forward with the production of wind power to help our economy and reduce greenhouse gases for a win-win situation.
Please join me in urging your legislators to reject a moratorium and make Vermont more sustainable for those who will follow us in the future.

So what's on your list?
First of all, I really don't like this part, but I guess we all have to do it. So, here I go :) I am a confident and independent woman and I am looking for my best friend that is adventurous and fun and also wants to settle down. I love to laugh and enjoy helping and making others happy. Being outdoors, playing sports, traveling and trying new things are my passions. I have traveled to many places around the world, Spain or Morocco would be next on my list. Or, perhaps just taking my golf bag and hitting some real golf courses where golf was invented is also very exciting. I am truly looking for someone that is active, honest, loyal, assertive, kind and career-minded with a good sense of humor. If you are him, please send me a note and tell me what cool trips on your short list. Thank you for taking a look and good luck to all of us! :)

Need one for remote controls and mp3 players. maybe one small enough to fit in the battery cover or one that just sticks on and conforms to the device.
So many times are the remotes lost when you pass out or someone else looses them when the leave the room with them...
O one more, freaking glasses. Take them off your face and they disappear. Can use them for socks too, one always seems to go missing.

Cavalcade of Whimsy
Oct. 12 - Week Six, Part 2
Pete Fiutak
12, Cavalcade of Whimsy, Part One. Why the
Brett Favre situation matters
The C.O.W. airing of the grievances followed by the feats of strength
The ten second half of the season predictions I'm throwing to the wall to see if they stick …
10. Michigan will hit a wall
I know everyone is supposed to root against Michigan because of the whole snooty, arrogant, Leaders & Best thing, along with the I-didn't-really-want-to-go-to-Northwestern-or-an-Ivy-anyway alumni base, but college football is better when Michigan, and all the traditional superpowers, are great, and this is a fun team to watch. Also, when the Rich Rodriguez offense is humming, it's among the most entertaining things in all of sports. However, the lack of a consistency up front on defense, the nation's second-worst pass defense, and a real, live schedule will mean the wins are going to be hard to come by with Iowa, Wisconsin, and a trip to Ohio State left to deal with. Because of the defense there are no gimmes, but with Penn State, Illinois, and Purdue still left to play, the Wolverines will go to a decent bowl. Even so, for a team that was thinking big last week at this time, it'll be happy to win two of its final six games.
9. Stanford will win the Pac 10 title
Oregon is as much fun as anyone in the country, but it has also showed some flaws. As good as the Ducks have been, in the improved Pac 10, and with teams getting time to prepare for the spread, it'll be next to impossible to get through clean. That's nothing against Oregon; the league has been that good. The defense is fine, but the secondary can be beaten and the run defense has faced just two teams, Tennessee and Stanford, that can pound the ball, with each having success. USC gets two weeks off to prepare for the huge home game, as does Arizona for the date in Eugene. The Trojans and Wildcats have the firepower to win wild shootouts, while Stanford should be able to roll through Washington State and Washington over the next few weeks before a nasty November with road games at Arizona State and Cal and home against Arizona and Oregon State. Because of the offensive line, the physical all-around play, the attitude from the coaching staff, and the most talented player in college football under center (Andrew Luck), the Cardinal will survive test after test to get to Pasadena for the first time since the 1999 season.
8. Utah will beat TCU
TCU is 1-3 in its last four games against Utah, is 2-5 all-time, and has never won in Salt Lake City. While the Horned Frogs have received the national title attention and focus so far, Utah has hummed along and is improving each week hitting its stride at just the right time scoring a whopping 180 points over the last three games. The special teams are playing as well as any in America, the passing game is ultra-efficient (helped by a line that has allowed just one sack), and the defense is a brick wall against the run. Granted, facing UNLV, New Mexico and San Jose State is nothing more than target practice, but beating Pitt and whacking Iowa State 68-27 is solid. In a war between two unbeaten teams, the Utes will throw a wrench into the season with a win reminiscent of the 13-10, last-second classic win in 2008.
7. The SEC champion will have two losses
Everyone in the East but South Carolina already has two losses, and the Gamecocks still have difficult road games at Kentucky, Florida, and Clemson to deal with, not to mention home dates against Tennessee and Arkansas. There will be one slip along the way. In the West, Auburn and LSU are still unbeaten while Alabama and Arkansas each have just one loss, but soon, everyone will start picking each other off.
As shaky as Bama was against Arkansas on the road, and with the double-digit loss to South Carolina, there might be a hiccup at Tennessee if all the planets are aligned correctly, and going to LSU is going to be fun. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Auburn are all just decent enough to pull off an upset on the right day. Even if LSU beats the Tide, do you really believe that the team that struggled so much throughout the first half of the season will get through trips to Auburn and Arkansas unscathed? Arkansas still has to go to Auburn, South Carolina, and Mississippi State, and has home games against Ole Miss and LSU, and Auburn still has Arkansas, LSU, at Ole Miss, Georgia, and at Alabama to deal with.
6. It'll be a three-way tie for the Big Ten title, but …
The Buckeyes will go to the Rose Bowl. Michigan State and Ohio State don't play this year, and if both are unbeaten late into October, there will be at least three articles written about the idea of the two playing for the national title. However, MSU will lose at Iowa, but will roll through Illinois, at Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue, and at Penn State, with the loss to the Hawkeyes coming after Ohio State's one blemish, a loss at Wisconsin this week. OSU will beat Iowa in Iowa City to be ranked highest of the three in the BCS standings to win all the tie-breakers.
5. West Virginia will blow through the Big East schedule
The Mountaineers might not be perfect, and they might not have the explosive offense of some of the better teams that went to the BCS, but they're night-and-day better than anyone else in the Big East. The road games are at Connecticut, Louisville, and Pitt, and while each has enough in the bag to pull off an upset, they're going to have to be perfect. Cincinnati and Rutgers will provide a push in Morgantown, and USF will be more than a speed bump, but West Virginia will be 11-1 and, out of the blue, a marquee team to watch in the BCS.
4. Hawaii QB Bryant Moniz will be the best player in the WAC, and won't get first or second-team all-conference honors.
It'll be a coin-flip between Boise State's Kellen Moore and Nevada's Colin Kaepernick for the First Team All-WAC quarterback slot, and Moore will win it and will end up being in New York as a Heisman finalist. But it'll be Moniz, the Hawaii junior quarterback, who'll do more for his team and will be the best player in the conference. He'll finish the year in the top three nationally in total offense, and with over 300 passing yards per game against everyone but USC (and that was only because he was knocked out for a stretch), and with 18 touchdowns so far and just four interceptions, he's one of the nation's hottest passers and will keep being a major playmaker for an attack that keeps on putting up numbers like the June Jones days.
3. The Heisman finalists
It'll be a dogfight down the stretch in one of the closest Heisman races ever, and there will be at least five viable candidates fighting it out for votes. Denard Robinson will fall out of favor over the second half of the season, but his final numbers will be too amazing to ignore and he'll get several No. 3 votes after a scintillating performance against Ohio State. Nebraska's Taylor Martinez will struggle a bit against Texas, but he'll lead the Huskers to the Big 12 title game getting votes in a top-player-on-a-top-team way. Terrelle Pryor won't have the numbers, and he'll be out of the hunt for a little while after struggling this week against Wisconsin, but he'll make up for it in a win over Iowa. Oregon's LaMichael James will end up leading the nation in rushing, and he'll just miss out on the 2,000-yard mark to finish in everyone's top three. Those on the West Coast will give Kellen Moore a few votes, but no one on the right side of the Mississippi will have him on the ballot. Auburn's Cam Newton will deserve more respect, but he'll struggle in his spotlight game in Alabama to ruin his bid (but he'll be THE guy going into next year). Ryan Mallett and Andrew Luck will get a few votes from those going with the Most Talented Player Theory, but they won't get enough to get an invite to New York. So, to make the call, it'll be …
1) Pryor, 2) James, 3) Martinez, 4) Robinson, 5) Moore, 6) Newton, 7) Luck, 8) Mallett
2. Boise State and Utah will be two of three teams that will finish the year unbeaten.
Boise State will get a wee bit of a push from Nevada in Reno, and the Hawaii game will be fun for about a half, but there's no stopping the machine. The Broncos will go 12-0, and it'll do it with flair. The Utes will have just enough of a fight on its hands at Air Force and at either Notre Dame or San Diego State to give voters justification (at least in their minds) to keep them out of the BCS Championship, but if they beat TCU, they'll finish the regular season 12-0. Despite being unbeaten, they'll be out of the title discussion because …
1. Nebraska will play Boise State for the national title
Schedule, schedule, schedule, schedule, schedule. The SEC champion will have at least one loss (likely two), Ohio State will lose a road game either at Wisconsin or Iowa, and Oregon will drop at least one game with so many tough battles left to be had. Oklahoma, who has been way too shaky so far, will lose a road game against either Missouri, Texas A&M, or Oklahoma State. Meanwhile, Nebraska has one of the most manageable schedules of any national title contender. Going to Oklahoma State and Texas A&M will be tough, but any team good enough to play in the BCS Championship has to roll through those games, while the battles with Texas and Missouri are at home. The Huskers will face Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship and will win a classic. And then will come the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
No one's going to have a beef with Nebraska going to Glendale, but if Alabama wins the SEC Championship with one loss, then Boise State could be out of the picture. Ohio State fans will also be screaming, as will Oregon's if their team only has one loss, but just enough pollsters will keep Boise State high to just barely give the WAC champion its shot at the title.
Random Acts of Nutty … Provocative musings and tidbits to make every woman want you and every man want to be you (or vice versa) a.k.a. things I didn't feel like writing bigger blurbs for.
- Everyone, do NOT overreact to Boise State being ranked in the top two of the first BCS rankings. Remember, the computers take into account the entire season, and the formulas don't fully kick in until the regular season is over.
- In case you didn't see it -- and why would you have? -- there was a minor brouhaha late in the Minnesota – Wisconsin game. The Badgers were up 41-16 with 6:39 to play and went for two. Badger head coach Bret Bielema later said he was just going by the chart, but Gopher head man Tim Brewster didn't buy it, sensing there was a bit of rubbing it in rivalry-style. You don't get to whine about anyone running up the score if you refuse to go for an onside kick down 18 with over five minutes to play, like the Gophers did.
- Between Favre, the ESPN body issue, and trying to Google any image whatsoever, I need a break from unsolicited nudity. For two weeks, world, keep your clothes on.
- Yeah, USC's defense isn't all that great, and the pass defense is 116th in the nation, but it has faced Hawaii's Bryant Moniz, the nation's leader in total offense; Minnesota's Adam Weber, who stinks but will be in an NFL camp; and, probably, the top two picks in the 2011 NFL Draft. Jake Locker completed 24-of-40 passes for 310 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 110 yards, two weeks ago, while Andrew Luck completed 20-of-24 passes for 285 yards and three scores, and ran for 40 yards last week. And Matt Barkley has been every bit as good. He has flown under the radar, but Barkley is playing like the star he was supposed to be as the No. 1 recruit in the country completing 65% of his throws for 1,517 yards and 15 touchdowns and four picks, with all of the interceptions coming in wins over Minnesota and Washington State.

Access to energy, especially in the form of electricity, continues to be low in most rural areas in India. With about 40% of the population living without electricity, energy access has become a development imperative. The non-availability of energy limits the choices available to the poor in increasing productivity of livelihoods; moving up the value chain in these livelihoods and diversifying their livelihoods base. Provision of clean energy can lead to improved economics and profitability for many livelihood activities. In Bihar, there is a wide demand-supply gap that needs to be bridged with over 80% of the population living without access to electricity.

Pine Siskins are actually small, yellowish finches, They are remarkably outgoing with each other, often socializing at other Pine Siskins' nests. They also tend to gather in large flocks, enjoying one another's company.
During the 13 day incubation, the male Pine Siskin will feed the female who only leaves the nest for a few moments at a time!
Favorite foods of the Pine Siskin include small seeds as well as insects and spiders. The Pine Siskin parents will feed aphids to their hatchlings.
They often gather in flocks high up in the tree tops to find food. These small birds also enjoy thistle seed which attracts them to finch feeders. In fact, the Pine Siskin tends to gather where bird feeders are easily accessible.

Okay I'm more than sure that this is a dumb question but I'm quite lost right now.
I live in a rent apartment and we had this Philips HD Ready TV here. Now since I got my new PC parts I want to hook it up with my 280x card with HDMI.
So is this TV capable of giving out 1080 or not trough my card? I dont have the users manual since I guess the owner just threw it away or something.
This is confusing as hell

6800GT Dead?
Well I made a post a few days ago about how my card was hitting temps of like 95 degree's playing a simple game like World of Warcraft and asked for quick opinions on 2 coolers im thinking of getting, but it may be too late
So I tried to put more AS5 on the chip, and surprisingly it lowered my temps on WoW from 95 down to 70, and from 69 idle to 52 idle... and worked for a day, but I left my computer on like it says to do with the AS5 for a few days...
But now when I try to play WoW or anything that uses graphics, my whole computer locks up and I get a bluescreen saying that my nv4_disp something failed or something giving me some big error and saying that it may be a problem with my hardware, or the driver itself, so I reinstalled the drivers trying a few different versions, and still get the problem.
I dont know what it could be... if some AS5 got onto the card itself would it wreck it? anything else that could cause this to be happening?
Need some advice, and this time please dont ignore it like my other thread

Some people care too much. I think it's called love." -- Winnie-the-Pooh
Hello ladies of the internet. ...how's that for not starting things off awkwardly? Ha. About me: I'm currently in graduate school getting a masters in statistics. I used to work in the financial industry, but I'm not entirely sure I want to go back when I finish. I also volunteer as a tutor for underprivileged kids with learning disabilities, which is extremely rewarding (when they behave) and has given me a newfound appreciation for teachers. I love exercising. I'm not a freak about it, but I find it to be a huge stress reliever, and I simply feel better afterwards. I run, cycle, swim (my form could use much improvement), and lift weights up and down with the rest of the meat heads in the gym. I also compete in various types of races every now and then. Some friendly competition would be fun have, but not required. I like watching soccer and hockey over football and baseball, so if you're looking for a die-hard Giants (Jets) or Yankees (Mets) fan, I'm not your guy. If you do love baseball or football, I'd obviously watch the games with you, but I definitely won't be as enthusiastic about the team scoring/winning. That said, I really enjoy going to games in person, regardless of the sport. It's much more fun than watching it on the TV. I'm not sure what else to write, so here are some random thoughts: I'd much rather drink wine than beer. I'm kind of preppy. Rene Magritte is one of my favorite artists. In the height of the financial crisis I quit my job to travel around the world. I'm from NJ. I love dogs. I've just begun reading the Harry Potter books, and I kind of really like them. I've played the piano, clarinet, and trumpet. I appreciate puns, wit, and sarcasm. You: If you want to say Hello, please do so. Winks are ... well, I'm not quite sure exactly what they're supposed to mean, but a simple "Hi, how are you?" would be much more appreciated. Passport required.

Popular 1865-S Inverted Date, XF451865-S $10 865 Over Inverted 186 XF45 NGC. Not discovered until 1958 or so, this peculiar variant was created by a mint employee who obviously was not paying attention. The first three digits in the date were punched into the die upside down. Once this error was discovered, some of the initial mistake was effaced but mostly the inverted date was simply covered up by punching in the numerals as they should have been. While scarce, the inverted date is actually not as difficult as the non-inverted (normal) date, a situation analogous to the 1909/8 double eagle and 1909 issue. This piece is a bit softly struck over the highpoints of the devices, but noticeable portions of mint luster remain around the devices. Moderately abraded, the most significant mark is located toward the front of the truncation of Liberty's neck.(#8643) (Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 28ED, PCGS# 8643)

Tour guide for Venice ??
Hi ,
We will be in Venice Dec 30-Jan 2 and are looking for recommendations for tour guides . Thanks
Hi ,
We will be in Venice Dec 30-Jan 2 and are looking for recommendations for tour guides . Thanks
Hi Wendy, Venice is beautiful and you really don't need a tour guide. When I went it was 1st time in Europe and my 1st stop. Walking around the streets and getting lost in part of seeing Venice. You can hop on and off the water taxi and check out the other Islands, such as Murano. Happy Travels!
A very good tour company (in a number of major cities) is Context Travel, in this instance, Context Venice. You might want to check their website.
quote: "You can hop on and off the water taxi and check out the other Islands, such as Murano." Water taxi is very expensive, or do you mean the vaporetto which is the equivalent to a water bus.
Thanks everyone , I think we will just "wing it" . We are staying at a great B&B and the owner has offered to give us a sort of itinerary. So excited about our trip !!
Wendy, In June, we used Alessandro Schezzini for an "offbeat tour" of Venice. He is not a licensed tour guide, so he won't take you into the big venues. However, it was great! We walked around for 1.5 hours and heard from a real Venetian about the history of the city and some present day information. He is recommended in Rick's book and his website is here. He also has a great "pub" crawl that can be added on to the city tour.
Another vote for Context Travel/Venice. Their docents and small groups are just great. We particularly liked a Renaissance Venice tour and a tour of the Ghetto.
You can hop on and off the water taxi and check out the other Islands, such as Murano. If you do you had better have very deep pockets. Water taxis are very expensive already, and if you keep the meter running (there is no actual meter, they wear a watch and charge for all the extra time) while you have the taxi wait for you there will be a very very large bill at the end of the time. If you have a vaporetto pass you can indeed use as many or as few vaporettos (water buses effectively) as you wish during the period of validity. With a valid vaporetto pass you can indeed go all around the main islands of Venice, as well as the Lagoon islands such as Burano, Torcello and Murano, S. Geogio, Guidecca, the Lido, and Punta Sabbione. Vaporettos do not go to the Marco Polo Airport.
Venicescapes -- private tours, very interesting. Michael is a pleasure to work with.
We just did two tours, the bar tour and the tour of Murano and Burano, with Alessandro who is mentioned in the RS book. It was a great experience for the five of and a great value based on our research. We would do it over again on our next visit.
For a really unique tour from the perspective of a famous Venetian author or musician, check out Litera-Tours. The tours always also involve food tasting. http://www.litera-tours.com/ns/index.php?lang=it
Yes to vaporettos not water taxis and no to guided tours of Venice! Venice is only 3/4 miles across, so you can walk pretty much everywhere, except for getting to other islands like Murano (don't bother with the factory tours -- wander the streets for real art galleries) and Burano (do not miss! It is fabulous.) But do sign up for short tours, usually just outside the venues, for St. Mark's and the Hall of Doges, and you will bypass the monster lines. Climb the Campanile in St. Mark's square, and wander the island to your heart's content. Oh, and be sure to go to the opera! One of my most cherished travel memories is watching a 9 piece orchestra and 3 vocalists all dressed in Baroque costumes performing highlights of famous Italian operas, and as an added bonus, accompanied by a huge thunderstorm outside making for great lighting and sound enhancement! To top it off, it was on the 4th of July. Sigh. I would go back to Venice in a heartbeat. Have a wonderful time! Jan

Jobs continue slow rise here; Kentucky ranks eighth in projects
A gradual economic recovery continues here in the form of slow but steady job growth.
As of last fall, Henderson County had posted year-over-year job growth for five consecutive quarters, according to new data from the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training.
During the third quarter of 2011, Henderson County had an average of 18,952 jobs, up about 500 from the same period one year earlier and up more than 700 from two years earlier.
Manufacturing, services and the utilities/wholesale-retail trade/transportation categories each added workers, although those gains were offset by job losses in the finance/insurance/real estate sector. Accuride's truck wheel plant and Dana Holding's truck axle plant both expanded their work forces, helped by an ongoing rebound in the commercial truck industry.
Employment in mining, construction, information and state/local government was relatively steady.
But there's more ground to be made up. Henderson County is still more than 1,000 jobs short of the level in the third quarter of 2007, just before the Great Recession began.
STATE RANKs eighth in industrial activity
Kentucky ranked eighth in the nation for new and expanded industry activity last year by Site Selection, a national economic development magazine.
That's the state's highest ranking since the magazine began its rankings in 1978.
The ranking is based on a state's number of major industrial projects as tracked by Conway Data Inc.'s New Plant database.
Qualified projects include those that meet at least one of three criteria:
Involve a capital investment of at least $1 million.
Create 50 or more jobs.
Add at least 20,000 square feet of new floor space.
Conway counted 198 such industrial projects in Kentucky last year.
It appears that Henderson County contributed eight industrial expansions to that list, according to a Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development report on new and expanding industries.
They include:
Audubon Metals LLC (nearly $2.6 million equipment investment and 12 new jobs)
Hydro Aluminum North America Inc. ($2.6 million investment).
Industrial Service & Electronics Inc. (it announced a $2.4 million investment in a new plant, which will be at the Henderson County Riverport, and 20 new jobs)
Polymer Partners LLC (nearly $2.8 million investment to help save 23 jobs)
Rio Tinto Alcan ($50 million investment to help save 488 jobs)
Sunrise Tool & Die Inc. ($1 million investment and seven new jobs)
Sunspring America Inc. ($1 million investment and 15 new jobs)
Tyson Foods ($3.5 million investment and 200 new jobs. "They anticipate adding a couple of hundred more," according to Kevin Sheilley, president and CEO of Northwest Kentucky Forward. "Our understanding is that they will be back to around 1,500 (workers at their three-county complex here) by late in '12."
Matrix Composites Inc. came up just short of qualifying with its $955,000 investment and 17 new jobs.
The report also notes industrial expansions in Union County (Jim David Meats, $860,000 investment and 25 new jobs; Pride Industries Inc., $30,000 investment and two new jobs) and Webster County (Timewell of Kentucky LLC, $870,000 investment and eight new jobs; Green River Post Co. LLC, $400,000 investment and two new jobs).
Back in the black
Accuride returned to profitability in the last three months of 2011, posting net income of $4 million.Naturally, that's good news for workers at its Henderson wheel plant.
The company has been gradually adding production employees and is currently looking to hire two engineers and a metallurgy tech here.
"Accuride is in the process of strengthening its overall engineering capabilities, including positions at our engineering center at the Henderson facility," company spokesman Timothy Weir said in an email message last week. "Our objective is to enhance our ability to provide customers with high-quality products that incorporate advanced technology. Augmenting our engineering resources is an important part of that effort."

- Miami is 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a S.U. win.
- Miami is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Sunday games.
On Sunday, the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Miami Hurricanes are going to do battle in what should be a great clash in Austin, where both sides will be hoping to get to the Sweet 16.
The Illini played in one of the more bizarre games you'll ever see in the NCAA Tournament. They held the Colorado Buffaloes without a single point for the last 7+ minutes of the first half, building a lead that got as big as 16 points. However, they came out of the blocks and were outscored 21-0 in the second half and didn't score a field goal for nearly the first 12 minutes of the half. From there, the Illini closed out the game by holding the Buffs to three points in the final five minutes of the game to get the 'W'. It was a truly remarkable game where everything went right, then everything went wrong, and then enough went right to get the win. Still, we have to be concerned. Illinois only had three field goals the whole second half, and it only shot 30.8 percent from the field over the course of the game, and that obviously isn't going to cut it against the Hurricanes.
The Canes are clearly one of the most talented teams in America right now, and after jumping out and beating up the Pacific Tigers 40-19 in the first half and ultimately winning the game 78-49, there's no reason to doubt anything. We know that this is a team that really can take over and win by scoring 100 points on anyone in the nation if given the chance. C Reggie Johnson had 10 boards against Pacific, and we figure that he'll be doing the same sort of thing in this game. F Julian Gamble and F Kenny Kadji both had suspect games, but both of them only played between 15 and 20 minutes. G Durant Scott was the leading scorer on the club with 21 points. G Shane Larkin and G Trey McKinney Jones didn't really do all that much considering the fact that they played a reasonable amount of minutes. But that's the beauty about Miami. The team doesn't need to really have one man step it up due to the fact that there are so many that can get the job done either as complete stars or as role players.
The Illini just don't stand a chance in this game in our eyes. G DJ Richardson and G Brandon Paul were both clearly just jacking up shots for most of the game against Colorado, and if these two aren't going to do a lot better than that and get into the paint, the ACC champs are going to storm into the second week of the dance. Miami 78 – Illinois 59

The plantar fascia is a ligament attached to the heel bone
(calcaneus) that divides and fans out to attach at the base of the toes
(metatarsals). Layers of muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels run over
the bottom of the foot. The plantar fascia covers these layers and acts as a
bowstring on the bottom of the foot, helping the bones of the foot maintain the
arch. A fat pad covers the plantar fascia beneath the heel bone. This pad
cushions the heel as it takes the force of each footstep.
