Debate continued in the Senate Thursday on a multi-year surface transportation bill that would fund investment in highway, bridge and transit infrastructure, but House lawmakers disagree on how to pay for the measure.
Senat Shipping claimed no wrongdoing or illegal activity on its part, and said the Treasury Departments action is a "misguided measure purely based on Senat's historical dealings with OMM," according to a report from Reuters.

Here are three keys for the Oakland Raiders in their game at Seattle on Thursday night. Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET:
Terrelle Pryor: The final preseason game is far from meaningless in Oakland. Pryor is getting the start while starter Matt Flynn rests his sore arm. If Pryor plays well, he will very likely be Oakland's starting quarterback in the regular season. Yes, Pryor has been and will likely be facing backups again in this game. But if he shines, it will greatly benefit him. If he shows inconsistency, the coaching staff will likely decide Pryor is not ready.
Menelik Watson: The second-round pick will start at left tackle. It will be the first time he's played there in his life. If he performs well, he will likely be the starter in Week 1 at Indianapolis.
The punters: Veteran Chris Kluwe and youngster Marquette King have been in a close battle all preseason. A tie could go to the young kid with potential. But Kluwe may have the edge because he is a better holder. This one goes down to the wire.

BBC Worldwide to enter paid gaming arena
BBC Worldwide is taking a gamble by asking its viewers to take a gamble. The broadcasting giant's commercial subsidiary is to add pay for gaming to its repartee.
The foray will begin with a premium The Weakest Link game, which will be advertised to viewers at the end of Anne Robinson's popular (although incredibly tedious by now, right?) gameshow.
BBC Worldwide hopes that this move will open up a new wave of revenue streams for the subsidiary, which has targets of making a £200 million profit by 2012.
The Weakest Link game will cost from a pound to play and the BBC is in partnership with Amuso.com for the venture.
"BBC Worldwide is always keen to extend a brand beyond the traditional use, and social gaming is one of great interest to us", said Robert Nashak, executive vice president of digital entertainment at BBC Worldwide.
If you're worried that your under-age kids will be tempted to play the game after seeing the advert then fear not, players will have to undergo a strict entry procedure before they are allowed to participate. This involves entering a date of birth upon signup. We wonder how young whipper-snappers will crack that enigma style system.
BBC Worldwide is stating that the birth date details will be checked against the 192 verification service though, and that anyone wanting to deposit £50 or more will need to prove their identity by scanning a passport or driver's licence.
What do you reckon? Is it right for the BBC to go down this road? Let us know using the comments below.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 8: Sharing Power And InformationShare information so your employees can see how to help- and they'll improve the business.
Coordinator of the Guiding Team
If citizens are to take responsibility for governing, says Sunne McPeak, they must first be empowered. As president and CEO of the Bay Area Economic Forum and a former member of the Contra Costa County (California) Board of Supervisors, McPeak takes great pride in the large number of her constituents who continue their participation in local government activities long after their direct involvement with her. McPeak knows that when coalitions of highly diverse interests (such as growers and environmentalists in the Coalition to Stop the Peripheral Canal, which she co-chaired) come together, it's impossible for them to reach consensus and forge commitment unless they're provided with the skills and knowledge needed to make good judgments. For McPeak, keeping people informed, developing personal relationships among the participants, involving people in important decisions, and acknowledging and giving credit for people's contributions are essential to any process for reinventing government.
We find that, like McPeak, exemplary leaders make other people feel strong. They enable others to take ownership of and responsibility for their group's success. Long before empowerment was written into the popular vocabulary, credible leaders knew that only when their constituents felt strong, capable, and efficacious could they ever hope to get extraordinary things done. Constituents who feel weak, incompetent, and insignificant consistently underperform, they want to flee the organization, and they're ripe for disenchantment, even revolution.
People who feel powerless, be they managers or individual contributors, tend to hoard whatever shreds of power they have. Powerless managers, for example, tend to adopt petty and dictatorial styles. Powerlessness creates organizational systems in which political skills are essential and "covering yourself " and "passing the buck" are the preferred modes of handling interdepartmental differences.
When constituents have very little power, those in positions of authority can easily get people to follow orders. Under such circumstances, authority figures often attribute other people's behavior, no matter how good it is, to their own orders rather than to constituents' abilities and motivations. Stanford University researcher Jeffrey Pfeffer has found that "if behavior occurs in the presence of a great deal of external pressureeither positive in the form of monetary inducements or negative in the form of threats and sanctions-people are likely to conclude that the external forces both caused the behavior and were, in fact, necessary to produce it."
The most insidious thing about external control is that it actually erodes the intrinsic motivation that a person might have for a task. In other words, even the constituents begin to assume that only outside forces will compel them to do anything. And yet intrinsic motivation is esential to getting extraordinary things done. When people do things because they're told to, not because they want to, they don't perform at their best. Thus reliance on external power and control-whether by the authorities or the members-over time diminishes the capacity of individuals and organizations to excel.
This phenomenon was cleverly documented in one experiment involving small workgroups. Employees in some workgroups were allowed to influence decisions about their work (were made powerful, in other words), while those in other workgroups were not (were made powerless). The managers of the powerless groups routinely complained that their employees weren't motivated to work hard. These managers saw their workers as unsuitable for promotion and downplayed their skills and talents, and they evaluated the work output of their employees less favorably than did the managers of powerful workgroups. In fact, the actual output of both groups was roughly equivalent; it was the lack of employee opportunity to exercise influence that caused the managers to see their groups as poor performers.
The opportunity to create a climate where people are involved and important is at the heart of strengthening others. To create this climate, leaders use power in service of others, not in service of their own private interests.
Power in Service of OthersTo get a better sense of how it feels to be powerless as well as enabled, try this exercise to clarify your own experiences: Take out a piece of paper and divide it into two columns. Label the left-hand column "Powerless Times" and the right-hand column "Powerful Times." Now think about work- related times when you felt powerless-weak, insignificant, like a pawn in someone else's chess game. Record the actions or situational conditions that contributed to your feelings of powerlessness. Once you've recorded a few examples of powerless times, turn your attention to those times you felt powerful-strong, efficacious, like the creator of your own experience.
Record the actions or conditions that contributed to your feelings of powerfulness.
Representative statements that we've received in response to this task in our workshops are shown in the list that follows. See how these compare to your own experiences:

A Family Gathering on Easter, April 12, 2009
by MaryGrace Patterson
Rated "G" by the Author.
edited: Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Posted: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
The yearly story of our family Easter is a little late.
Our family celebrates Easter, most hoildays and birthdays together. Those that can attend are always welcomed with open arms .
Easter Sunday was bright and sunny. A slight breeze was blowing just enough to keep us cool.
Tables and chairs were once again set up outside under the huge oak tree in our back yard. The suns rays danced on the moving lake waters creating glittering tiny rows of waves. It was a sight I never tire of seeing.
Two long tables held a variety of foods. Baked Ham, fresh smoked turkey, stringbeans with red potatoes and bacon, ambrosia ,cole slaw, 2 macroni salads, jello with fresh fruit, applesauce, blueberry nut bread , sodas,punch and icetea... Pies, cake and icecream were for dessert.
Twenty one sat and bowed their heads as Grandpa Judson said ,"Grace". We humbly thanked our Lord for letting us betogether once again on this special day of days.
It seems as my husband and I grow older, family times are becoming more cherished. Time is slipping quicky by. The grandkids are growing up so fast and soon will have families of their own.
We've finally reached our golden years and we reap the rewards of being parents and grandparents. We're ever mindful of the blessings that our Lord has bestowed upon us.....
I hope you all had a joyous Easter!
We sure did.

HIS Radeon HD 5870 1GB Video Card - The PackageAnother HD 5870 arrives, this time from HIS. Today we have a look at how it compares against the two top NVIDIA cards, the GTX 285 and GTX 295.
The Package
While I knew that HIS were sending over the HD 5870, when I saw the parcel I thought that the company had decided not to send us a full retail package card. This was mainly due to the fact that the shape of the package was quite thin. Opening up the package and having a look at the box for the first time, we can see why it looked so thin. HIS has opted for a new box design and you initially get the feeling that it seems more orientated towards a low-end card than the new high end model from ATI.
While the box might look small, we've got all the information we really need. Across the top we have the HIS logo and moving down we have the ATI Vision logo and below that the Dirt 2 one. We've then got a picture of a sword and below that the model mentioned along with some of the main features like 1GB of GDDR5, HDMI and more.
Turning the box over, we've got the brand and model across the top. Moving down, we have a bit of a blurb on the card and below that we've got some of the main features that the new GPU offers.
Getting stuck into the package, we can see that in the paperwork department we've got this nice little folder that we saw in the HD 4890 we looked at recently. Inside that is our driver CD, an installation guide and a little sticker. We've also got the same Dirt 2 coupon that we've seen before which gives you the ability to download the DX 11 game when it's released later this year.
As far as cables we go, we've got two molex to 6-Pin PCI-E connectors, a DVI to VGA adapter and a CrossFire bridge. As far as extras go, we've got the little HIS tool that has a built in screwdriver, LED and a few other things. HIS has let us know that at launch this is available to NewEgg.com buyers only, but they have also said that they're working with other e-tailers to include the little extra.

Methinks I see my father. -Where, my lord?
Neurologists have coined the word "aphantasia" to describe the condition of being unable to form visual mental images, publishing a study (nonpaywalled draft) of individuals with congenital aphantasia after first encountering a subject who described a sudden onset of the condition after an unrelated medical procedure. But how reliable is self-reported introspective data anyway?
A time capsule from the dawn of computer animation
Five years before Toy Story proved to the world that pure CGI -- a field long relegated to the role of special effects -- could be an art form in its own right, Odyssey Productions attempted to do the same on a slightly smaller scale. Drawing on the demo reels, commercials, music videos, and feature films of over 300 digital animators, the studio collated dozens of cutting-edge clips into an ambitious 40-minute art film called The Mind's Eye. Backed by an eclectic mix of custom-written electronic, classical, oriental, and tribal music, the surreal, dreamlike imagery formed a rough narrative in eight short segments that illustrated the evolution of life, technology, and human society: Creation - Civilization Rising - Heart of the Machine - Technodance - Post Modern - Love Found - Leaving the Bonds of Earth - The Temple - End credits (including names and sources for all clips used). But that was just the beginning... [more inside]

It's been pretty quiet around the state tornado-wise in the past two months, despite an early start to the severe-weather season. The National Weather Service's Todd Krause says that there was a tornado on March 19th in southeast Minnesota this year, which was the 2nd-earliest tornado ever. The last tornado in the state touched down on June 17th, and most of the severe weather in late June and July consisted of isolated wind storms and hail. Krause says while it's still possible to see tornadoes through October, it's not very likely.
