Barack Obama will attend Maryland vs. Oregon State
Terps finish off ACU with 29-0 run
COLLEGE PARK--President Barack Obama will be in attendance Sunday evening when Maryland takes on Oregon State at Comcast Center in College Park, White House press secretary Jay Carney announced at a briefing with the media on Friday afternoon.
Obama, publicly acknowledged as an avid fan of basketball, is the brother-in-law of Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson.
"I don't know what's happening. They don't tell us anything. Obviously there's speculation that he could be here," Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon told the media Friday morning before Carney confirmed the news. "I think it would be great. It would be pretty cool for everybody, for our team and for their team.
"Hopefully it makes the teams play even harder than they were going to play. We'll see. We'll see what happens."
Robinson has coached at Oregon State since 2008 and is the brother of First Lady Michelle Obama. During Robinson's time with the Beavers, he has amassed a record of 77-88 and has yet to make an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
The president has made public appearances at college basketball games in the past, even taking in the First Four games in Dayton, Ohio alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron in 2012.
He has also filled out a well-publicized NCAA tournament bracket each year he has been in office.
"Probably pretty hard to get into," Maryland forward Evan Smotrycz said of Comcast Center. "The loading dock will probably be shut down, high security. But it'll be cool. I'm sure people are excited."
But Obama's visit on Sunday does not mark the first time politics have intersected with basketball for Turgeon.
"At Texas A&M we had the former president at a lot of practices, 41. George Bush was there," head coach Mark Turgeon said. "His library was there. He'd come to practice, come to games. We'd see him quite a bit."
Maryland tips off against Oregon State on Sunday at 6 p.m. The university has put out a release encouraging fans to "arrive as early as possible," with doors opening at 4 p.m. Also included is a list of prohibited items. These include bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, and liquids.
Parking arrangements will also be altered. For fans with permits for Lot 4b, the lot will be closed after 5 p.m. Parking permits will for Lot 4b will be honored in any lot on Sunday, the school said in a release.
Additionally, "vehicles parked in Lot 4B will not be allowed to exit until the conclusion of the game and after the President's motorcade has left campus," the school said.

Sen. Rubio Parched By State Of The Union Response
By editor
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Republican Senator Marco Rubio delivered the Republican reply to the State of the Union. In mid-critique, Rubio wanted water but water was out of reach. The senator ducked down, reached off screen, found it, sipped it and resumed. But the Twittersphere had left the building. Water tweets flooded the nation. Rubio tweeted too - a picture of his water bottle. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Energia Austral, a subsidiary of multinational resources group Xstrata, expects Chilean environmental authorities to approve its 640-MW Cuervo hydropower project in 2011, a company spokesperson told wire services.
The firm responded to questions fielded by authorities in response to the initial EIS submitted in August. Environmental authority Conama will send the responses to the corresponding government agencies for evaluation, reports indicate.
The US$2.5 billion project involves construction of plants Cuervo, Rio Blanco and Lago Condor in southern region X with combined capacity of 1,100 MW. Operations could begin by 2015.
"Right now we are only working on Cuervo," added the spokesperson. "And we expect at the start of next year to begin the environmental permitting on the other two projects."
A transmission line is also planned to connect the plants to the central SIC grid.
In other news, Ingenieria y Construccion Madrid has submitted an environmental impact assessment for a 5.5-MW run-of- river hydro project on the Trueno River in Chile's southern region IX to national environmental authority.
Construction is slated to start in 2012, and operations would begin 2014, according to wire reports.

Remember Steven Simkin, the prominent Paul Weiss partner who sued his ex-wife for a better divorce deal? Simkin argued that even though he negotiated for and obtained the couple's investment account with one Bernard Madoff as part of their 2006 separation agreement, his former wife should now pay him more money — since it was subsequently revealed, years later, that Madoff was running a huge Ponzi scheme.
As you may recall, I was not terribly sympathetic to Simkin. In my view, an expert negotiator like Simkin — the head of PW's real estate practice, who was also represented by separate counsel in the divorce — should be required to live with the bargain he struck. In negotiating for and taking on the Madoff account, he also took on the risks associated with that investment.
An intermediate appeals court sided with Simkin. But now New York's highest court, the Court of Appeals, has spoken….
Here's how the court ruled, as reported by the New York Law Journal:
The 6-0 court reversed an Appellate Division, First Department, ruling and held that Steven Simkin cannot argue that he is entitled to reopen the terms of his 2006 settlement with Laura Blank based on the "mutual mistake" he maintained had occurred over the perceived value of his Madoff account when the couple was working through their divorce agreement.
A unanimous smackdown. Here's the reasoning of the court's opinion (fun stuff for those of you preparing for a Contracts final in a few weeks):
[A] mutual mistake must be "so material…that it goes to the foundation of the agreement" and that court-ordered relief has to be reserved only for "exceptional situations." Neither condition was present in the Simkin-Blank dispute, the court said.
"As an initial matter, husband's claim that the alleged mutual mistake undermined the foundation of the settlement agreement, a precondition to relief under our precedents, is belied by the terms of the agreement itself," Judge Victoria Graffeo wrote for the court.
Neither the Madoff investment fund nor its estimated value are identified in the divorce settlement, the court said, nor is there explicit language in the settlement that every asset held by the wealthy couple was to be divided 50-50.
"Given the extensive and carefully negotiated nature of the settlement agreement, we do not believe that this presents one of those 'exceptional situations' [citing Da Silva] warranting reformation or rescission of a divorce settlement after all marital assets have been distributed," Graffeo wrote.
Exactly. If anything is "exceptional" about this situation, it's that a world-class dealmaker is having negotiator's remorse.
Simkin's ex-wife, Laura Blank, works for the City University of New York. She probably doesn't earn a huge salary from CUNY. Meanwhile, Simkin continues to practice as a partner at Paul Weiss, which enjoyed record profits in 2011 — $3.1 million in profits per partner, to be precise.
Partners at Biglaw firms are sometimes stereotyped as a bunch of greedy a**holes. These stereotypes are often unfair. Many of the partners I know are good and generous people who happily share their wealth with the less fortunate. But Steve Simkin just wants to share his misfortune.
If you're in the running to be the next Mrs. Steven Simkin, consider yourself warned: when you marry this man, "for better or worse" just means "for worse."
P.S. Congrats to Laura Blank and her lawyer, Richard Emery of Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady, on this well-deserved victory.

"Why don't you like us, man?"
Despite flirting all summer like Sandy Olsson and Danny Zuko in Grease, Shane Doan and the Vancouver Canucks simply weren't meant to be. The Phoenix Coyotes captain opted for an 18th year in Arizona instead, re-signing with the embattled and permanently ownerless Phoenix Coyotes for $21.2 million over four years.
I'll admit I don't understand it. I've been to Phoenix. It's a nice place, and the fact that it has a freeway through the downtown core is a marked improvement on Vancouver's gridlocked, nigh unnavigable streets. But I can't imagine loving the city so much that I would put up with what Doan has put up with, let alone make the concessions Doan has made to stay there. Come on, no one loves Phoenix that much.
That in mind, it must be something else. Here are 25 alternate explanations for why Doan chose Phoenix over Vancouver.
1 | Fears crowds; feels safe in Jobing.com Arena, where there are none.
2 | Heard Vancouver has a revolving restaurant. Believes restaurants should stay stationary.
3 | Is a ghost, and ghosts can't leave the place they died.
4 | All those visits to other NHL cities were just tests to see if he could go a whole night without getting emotional and calling Phoenix to come pick him up.
5 | Has been led to believe that there is a massive bonus at the end of your career for staying with the same franchise.
6 | Is convinced he only looks good in burgundy.
7 | Is one stamp away from a free breakfast entrée at The Good Egg.
8 | Was about to leave, then Phoenix said, "Whatever, do what you want."
9 | Is a witch. Rain causes him to melt.
10 | Likes being able to spot family in the audience really easily.
11 | Steve Nash caught the last flight out.
12 | Enjoys the feeling of playing for a team he could afford if he wanted.
13 | Once heard that the captain always goes down with his ship.
14 | Mantracker is lying in wait just outside Phoenix, waiting for him to leave.
15 | Has outstanding warrants all over the continent under false names.
16 | Hey, someone has to keep an eye on Boyd Gordon.
17 | Is a genie and still owes Dave Tippett one wish. Hoping it's for freedom.
18 | Really wanted to play with Roberto Luongo and just found out that he's going to be traded.
19 | Can't find his passport.
20 | Coyotes were the only team to offer him what he truly wanted: friendship.
21 | Was once sneered at by an orca. Never got over it.
22 | Was totally sold on Gillis and Gilman's presentation over dinner, but when they didn't ask if he could help pay for the meal, it just didn't feel like home.
23 | Doesn't want to live in a place where it takes a whole crowd of people to overturn a car. A couple horses and some rope will do a much more efficient job.
24 | The coyote is his spirit animal.
25 | Two words: Ostrich Festival.Tags: Blogs are for lists, Questionable Comedic Content, Shane Doan, simpsons references

Lindisfarne Guest House The Lindisfarne Guest House is a distinctive octagonal building with twelve rooms on two floors surrounding a 30-foot skylit atrium. The atrium provides a relaxing skylit sitting area where guests often gather to read or sit with a cup of tea by the fire. The building is constructed in a traditional Japanese style and heated with a central wood-burning stove and passive solar system.
The guest rooms are simply, yet comfortably furnished, with large windows opening onto landscaped grounds. Each pair of rooms shares a bathroom and there is a centrally located shower. Snacks are always available in the guest house kitchen.
The Wheelwright Center The Wheelwright Center, at the heart of Green Gulch, has four conveniently located guest rooms. Two of the rooms may be combined into a suite, with kitchen and sitting area.
Hope Cottage Hope Cottage is one of the most spectacular retreats on the Pacific Coast. Perched on a hill and nestled in a grove of Monterey pines, it has commanding views of the Green Gulch Valley and the Pacific Ocean to the southeast, and Mt Tamalpais to the north. It's equipped with a wood-burning stove, a kitchenette stocked with basic food supplies, and a bathroom. Hope Cottage is a 25-minute uphill walk from the central area of Green Gulch.
Other Overnight Options It is also possible to stay at Green Gulch as a Guest Practice Retreatant. Retreatants, who may stay in guest rooms, join the Green Gulch residents in early morning meditation, work with the community until lunch time, then enjoy a free afternoon and evening. Guest Practice is a great way to combine a private retreat with participation in the life and practice of the community.

Four Wildcats Score In Double Figures On Senior Day
|Mike Christensen
DURHAM, N.H.-- University of New Hampshire freshman forward Mike Christensen (Reston Virginia) scored 18 points and three other Wildcats scored in double figures to lead UNH to a 76-66 America East victory over Stony Brook on Senior Day Sunday afternoon at Lundholm Gym.
With the victory UNH improves to 9-18 overall and 5-13 in America East and the team will find out later tonight if it will be the No. 8 or No. 9 seed in the America East Tournament. The Wildcats will play the winner of the Hartford/UMBC game which is being played at 4 p.m. Sunday. If the Hawks win, UNH is the No. 9 seed and if the Retrievers are victorious the Wildcats are the No. 8 seed. Whatever the case, UNH will play in game No. 1, which begins at 6 p.m. on Fri., March 4 in Binghamton, N.Y.
The Wildcats jumped out to an early lead vs. Stony Brook (11-16 overall, 6-12 America East) and led by as many as nine points (27-18) with 7:31 remaining before the half. However, the Seawolves put together a 16-7 run and tied the game at 34 with 2:01 remaining in the half. The two teams went into the lockerroom tied 36-36.
In the second half things stayed even most of the way with neither squad up by more than five points until UNH put together a 7-2 mini run to make the score 68-62 with 3:05 remaining in the contest. The Wildcats made 6-6 free throws in the final 1:32 of the game to ice the victory, four of them by sophomore guard Jermaine Anderson (Beverly, Mass.).
In addition to the 18 points by Christensen, senior center Ben Sturgill (Hamilton, Ohio) poured in 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while sophomore forward Blagoj Janev (Sydney, Australia) scored 12 points and senior forward Craig Walls (Minneapolis, Minn.) added 10 points.
Stony Brook was led by Mike Popoko, who led all scorers with 22 points, and by Bobby Santiago, who chipped in 11 points.
UNH shot 54.2 percent from the floor (26-48), while Stony Brook shot 35.2 percent (23-71). The Wildcats outrebounded the visitors (37-36).

Campus Food Projects: Engines for a More Sustainable System?
Back in 2005, as Emory University embraced sustainability as part of a new strategic plan, it was the physicians on the visioning committee who insisted on including food as a priority. Recognizing that environmental, economic, health, and social justice concerns intertwined with food, the committee encouraged local sourcing of vegetables, fruits, dairy, and poultry from farms with sustainable certifications. Imported items (bananas, coffee, tea) could contribute to campus goals by embracing products with Fair Trade or organic certification.

Sustainability and Food Production in the Hoosier Heartland: Learning through Local Engagement
Once a booming agricultural and factory town, Muncie, Indiana, is today a post-industrial rustbelt city grappling with questions about its economic and environmental futures. As heavy industries left town, Muncie's economy has flagged, leaving some 24% of its residents at or below the poverty line. To make matters worse, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined in 2007 that one-third of the city's former industrial sites were brownfields that posed risks to human health and safety. In spite of these challenges, Muncie residents are transforming and revitalizing their city. In particular, they have shown renewed and growing interest in sustainably produced foods as a boon to overall health, safety and environmental restoration. Innovative partnerships have enabled Ball State University (BSU) professors and students to directly contribute to these community efforts. Inspired by Robert and Helen Merrell Lynd's pioneering community study, Middletown, BSU professors and students are expanding this tradition of conducting engaged, local research to benefit the region. The result has been the transformation of former brownfields into public wetlands. Also through direct civic engagement, student volunteers have helped remove 70,000 pounds of trash from the White River watershed over the last six years. As significant as these restoration efforts are for the community, local residents are also finding ways to combine sustainable economic development with environmental restoration.

In the Trenches: Collaborative Conservation in a Contested West
For the last fifteen years, I've worked as a volunteer – a citizen anthropologist – in the collaborative conservation movement sweeping across the American West. I co-founded the Arizona Common Ground Roundtable in 1997. For the next five years, we (the Roundtable) sponsored forums across the state to bring ranchers, environmentalists, and sportsmen together to talk about the future of Arizona's wide-open spaces. We found our common ground by paraphrasing political analyst, James Carville: "It's land fragmentation, stupid!" Then I chaired the Ranch Conservation Task Force of Pima County's visionary Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (SDCP), which seeks to conserve both biodiversity and working ranches around the Tucson metropolitan area. For the last decade, I have served on Pima County's Conservation Acquisition Commission (CAC). The CAC provides recommendations to the Pima County Board of Supervisors on how to spend the $170 million in Open Space Bonds that voters approved in 2004 to support the SDCP.

From Conservation to Eco-Toilets to Organic Markets: The Evolution of a Chinese Environmental NGO
The story of Wildgrass is one of organizational adaptation to the dynamism of present-day China's politics and its rapidly changing social and environmental needs. After four years of working with the organization, I consider my roll in Wildgrass as more of an "exchange" than an "engagement" because of our reciprocal relations. We've shared knowledge and influenced one another on multiple levels, providing me a unique perspective to view changes in the organization over time.

The Lores of Local Food: Different Ways of Being Local and Eating Locally
Throughout the course of my research, I've seen how there is no one way to eat locally or to farm sustainably. These concepts and practices are quite fluid and change based on context, but also with the flash of a dollar sign. The "Loca-vore" movement is but one incarnation of many efforts to (re)connect to land and food, to foster food autonomy, to check out of the ConAgra-Monsanto complex, or to profit off of well-intentioned consumers' desires to be more responsible or ecological with their purchases.

Getting Goats—From skepticism to optimism in Northern Kenya
In the 1990s, before I became an academic anthropologist and researcher, I worked for about seven years in community development in Northern Kenya. The bulk of my work involved facilitating participatory development processes among communities of pastoralists in Samburu district. We tried to engage a broad swath of the community in self-analysis, identification of priority issues, planning and the implementation of interventions to improve their situation. The guiding principle was that local knowledge should be prioritized. We believed that the herding communities knew best about their own context and that their ideas should be used as the basis for community-led development projects.

PRESTONSBURG — Jury selection concluded Monday in Floyd County Circuit Court for the trial of five former prisoners accused of beating a fellow inmate in 2008 while lodged together in the Floyd County Detention Center.
The trial will be delayed until next week, due to the Jenny Wiley Festival-shortened work week and a required furlough day at the Floyd County Courthouse.
According to court officials, opening statements will begin Tuesday.
On Aug. 10, 2008, Terry Fisher, then a prisoner at the Floyd County Detention Center, was reportedly found near death in his cell, after allegedly being assaulted by other inmates.
Ivan Gunnels Jr., 31, of Eastern; Christopher N. Newsome, 38, of Harold; Kevin Woods, 26, of Allen; Matthew Ritchie, 28, of Garrett; and Stephen Jervis, 50, of Prestonsburg, are each charged with one count of complicity to first-degree assault in the beating of Terry Fisher.
One defendant originally named in the charges, Michael Rowland, died before he could be brought to trial.

Following years of criticism from victims of sexual assault, the University of Virginia moved this week to improve its methods for addressing rape on campus. The school addressed victim concerns only after the U.S. Department of Education chimed in—last month, its Office of Civil Rights released new guidelines [PDF] to "remind" schools how to comply with Title IX in their adjudication of sexual assault claims. Among the rules: Schools "must use the preponderance of the evidence standard to resolve complaints of sex discrimination"—meaning that a university must take action against an accused rapist if it's more likely than not that the assault occurred.
On college campuses, rape claims are subjected to a much lower burden of proof than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" required in criminal trials. That's because university tribunals don't hold the power to strip convicted rapists of their freedom—all they can do is bar them from attending one school out of thousands.
Of course, colleges can't indiscriminately ban men from campus based on unsubstantiated sexual assault claims—but they also can't deny women equal access to education by refusing to take their assault claims seriously. Under the Title IX guidelines, campus accusers and accused stand on fairly equal footing: Victims are required to prove to administrators that their version of events is the more likely one.
Most Washington area schools currently conform to the "preponderance of evidence" standard in their codes of conduct, including The George Washington University, the Catholic University of America, Gallaudet University, the University of the District of Columbia, Virginia Tech, George Mason University, American University, Georgetown University, and Howard University. But Security On Campus Director of Public Policy S. Daniel Carter says that "not a tiny number" of U.S. colleges and universities still hold victims of sexual assault to an unreasonably high burden of proof.
Among them: the University of Maryland. According to the UMD code of student conduct, most recently amended in March, "the burden of proof shall be upon the complainant, who must establish the guilt of the respondent by clear and convincing evidence." That "clear and convincing" standard lies somewhere between a preponderance of evidence and that shadow of the doubt—and the U.S. government has decided that enforcing that burden effectively discriminates against women in education.
Let's take a look at how a standard like that that plays out on a campus of 27,000 undergrads. Last month, student journalists at UMD discovered that only four students had been disciplined for sexual assaults at the school in the past decade. The Department of Justice estimates that five percent of college women experience an attempted or completed rape on campus each year (a smaller percentage of college men will also become assault victims while at school). That means that approximately 675 women at the University of Maryland will experience sexual assault in any given year—and not even one student is held responsible for those crimes.
Lowering the burden of proof for sexual assault claims won't bring justice to all UMD rape victims. But for the ones persistent enough to bring their claim in front of the university, it would at least put the school's men and women on equal ground.

ALBANY, Ga. — Deborah Walls, 59, died after her northbound 1998 Buick Regal crossed the median into a southbound Dougherty County ambulance about 4 p.m. Saturday on the Liberty Expressway, Georgia State Patrol Sgt. Barbara Brewton said.
Brewton released the information Sunday and said the ambulance carried two emergency personnel and a student when it was hit just before the Blaylock Street exit. Ambulance driver Lindsey Scott Satterfield, emergency medical technician Nelson Lynn Frazier and the unnamed student were taken to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, treated and released, Brewton said.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, Brewton said.

A certain ebb and flow marks every campaign year. In 2010, as everyone knows, most of the flow has been in the Republican Party's direction. But if a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll is correct, the tide may have ebbed a bit.
The survey shows the two parties still tied at 44 percent on the generic congressional ballot test among all registered voters, just as they were knotted at 43 percent in late August. The more interesting result is that the Republicans' advantage among likely voters has dropped from 9 points in August, 49 percent to 40 percent, to 3 points now, 46 percent to 43 percent. The new poll also revealed that a higher proportion of African-American and Hispanic voters appeared likely to vote than was the case a month ago. With voter turnout typically about one-third lower in midterm years than in presidential elections, the question of who shows up at the polls is critical. The "enthusiasm gap" has been a chronic problem for Democrats all year.
The survey, conducted September 22-26 by Democrat Peter Hart and Republican Bill McInturff, was of 1,000 adults, 800 on landlines and 200 who have only cellphones. Among the respondents, 820 were registered voters and 612 were deemed to be likely voters, based on a screen that combined interest in the election with whether a respondent voted in the last midterm, in 2006. Looking at the 470 voters who, on a scale of 1 to 10, said their interest level was very high (either 9 or 10), the GOP still had a 9-point lead, 50 percent to 41 percent. Obviously, Democratic supporters were more numerous in the other component question that helps McInturff and Hart ascertain who should fit into the likely voter subgroup. Using the full sample of registered voters, Republicans led among independents by 14 points, 40 percent to 26 percent.
In a survey conducted September 11-14, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg's Democracy Corps interviewed 1,000 people who voted in 2008 and identified 835 who seemed most likely to vote this year and 165 considered likely not to turn out. Among all respondents, Republicans had a 2-point lead, 46 percent to 44 percent; but among those most likely to vote this year, the GOP had a 10-point lead, 50 percent to 40 percent. Democrats had a 30-point lead among the drop-off voters. For the respondents contacted on a landline, the actual name and party identification of the nominees were included in the question. For cellphone interviews, only the party was supplied. Essentially, it was a generic ballot test.
As the election gets closer, more of the established polling operations will use likely voter screens, despite the greater cost. The problem is that every pollster has a different philosophy and methodology for determining a likely voter. This is where art gets added to science, and thus where political and very experienced questioners have a substantial advantage over some of the more recent arrivals in the world of surveys.
Much of the rest of the new NBC/WSJ poll was bad news for Democrats: President Obama's job-approval rating among registered voters was 46 percent, with 49 percent disapproving; 32 percent thought that the country was headed in the right direction, while 59 percent said that it was on the wrong track. Obama's approval rating on handling the economy was 42 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. Only 32 percent believed that the economy would get better over the next 12 months.
Most of the experts who analyzed the NBC/WSJ numbers concluded that the results represent no big change in the overall political climate, but that Democrats could be getting more engaged. But one poll isn't a trend, and other high-quality surveys that carefully screen for likely voters should be examined for signs that Democrats really are becoming energized. The juice behind the GOP surge has been based in part on an enthusiasm gap between Republicans and Democrats, with independent voters swinging strongly in favor of GOP candidates. In my view, the structure and direction of this election hasn't changed. A natural tightening is occurring. Republicans are still headed toward retaking the House and making substantial gains in the Senate, possibly enough to become the majority. The next round of quality polls of likely voters will show whether that assessment holds.

Great Food.!! And Nice Environmet
Posted by M.I. Baez on 09/23/2013
Went to this restaurant for Brunch with a friend. All items are served with French fries, home fries or rice. I asked if I could have a little salad instead of the three choices they provide. The answer was no. The service was slow. For those of us trying to cut down on our carb intake (starch intake), they are not accommodating. They could provide a small salad for $2 or $3 extra. My friend ordered a Margarita which never came, the food was medicore. Will not be going back.

I've been to Tacocina several times and it has always been very good! The food is tasty and there is a nice, cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. The main room is decorated tastefully with Frida Kahlo painting posters and other mexican trinkets. They also have a courtyard/garden where you can eat that is nice. I loved their chicken mole and also their chimichangas. And their margs are awesome, too!

From the first time I went to TAcocina, it has been nothing but the best. I love their food, the service and the atmosphere. My favorite thing to do is to dip the chips into the guacamole and then the salsa. It's so good that when my food arrives, I don't eat it until all the chips are gone, lol Thanks to Sharon for introducing me to TAcocina.

If you want a crisp 1080p signal from your iPhone or iPad, the best bet is to plug it in directly using Apple's own $49 digital AV adapter. Unfortunately, it seems that this latest iteration of the device — designed to work with the new Lightning connector — isn't putting out full 1080p. Even worse, it seems that it is introducing noticeable compression artifacts. Now comes the search for truth amongst all of the internet rage this is kicking up among Apple enthusiasts.
Future imaging tools could replace lenses with microwave-sensing metamaterials January 28, 2013 at 12:00 pm
Conventional imaging systems typically use a lens to map an object onto a detector plane. They acquire information as pixels, or vectors, and perform software compression after the fact. With the adoption of ever higher pixel densities we will soon reach a point where this kind of strategy is just not going to cut it anymore. A new device that uses metamaterials and compressive sensing for optimal imaging has come to our rescue.

Retail behemoth Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) reported another quarter of modest domestic growth and strong international expansion in 2011. The bright spot was Sam's Club, though it has a minimal impact on total firm profitability. Over the long haul, Wal-Mart represents one of the safest bets in retail and has appeal to conservative, income-minded investors. (For more on retail stocks, check out Analyzing Retail Stocks.)
TUTORIAL: Investing 101
First Quarter Recap
Total net sales improved 4.4% to $104.2 billion in 2011 as retail sales also grew 4.4% and membership income related to the Sam's Club warehouse chain jumped 8.4%, but accounted for less than 1% of the top line. U.S. namesake store sales made up 60.6% of retail sales and grew a very modest 0.6% as new store openings offset a 1.1% decline in same-store sales. International sales continued to be robust and rose 11.5% to account for 27% of sales. Sam's Club sales accounted for the remaining 12.4% of the top line increased a very healthy 9.4% as comparable sales rose 4.2%. Sam's Club performance has improved and it is better competing with rivals that include market leader Costco (Nasdaq:COST) as well as BJ's Wholesale Club (NYSE:BJ) in the eastern U.S. and PriceSmart (Nasdaq:PSMT) in the western U.S.
Divisional operating income increased 1.2% and reached $6.2 billion. The U.S. namesake stores continued to account for the bulk of profits at 75% and grew a modest 0.8%. International rose a slightly stronger 1.2% to account for 17.7% of profits, with Sam's Club seeing a strong 7% improvement to account for just over 7% of the total.
Backing out corporate overhead, company operating profits increased 2.1% to $5.4 billion. Lower income taxes helped send net income up 3.8% to $3.4 billion and share buybacks helped push per share earnings up by 11.5% to 97 cents per diluted share. (For more on the effect earning has, read Earnings Power Drives Stocks.)
The company provided second quarter 2011 profit guidance and currently expects earnings between $1.05 and $1.10 per diluted share. For the full year, analysts project total sales growth north of 4% and total sales of almost $440 billion. The current consensus analyst earnings projection is $4.44 per share.
Wal-mart generated $2 billion in operating cash flow but spent $2.4 billion on capital expenditure, $2.1 billion repurchasing its own shares and $1.3 billion to pay dividends. the company had to issue debt to cover the capital outlays not generated by its operations. This is unlikely to be a recurring situation as its business is somewhat seasonal and it generates more sales and profits during the holiday season, but is something for investors to keep an eye on.
Bottom Line
Overall, Wal-Mart continues to trade at a reasonable forward earnings multiple of less than 13. It should continue to leverage single digit sales growth into low double digit earnings growth, meaning investors should see a similar level of share price gains given stocks follow the fundamentals of a firm's underlying operations over the long term. Throw in a current dividend yield of about 2.6% to boost investor total returns to the mid-teens over time. The company, like off-price apparel and home furnishing rival TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) is also somewhat recession resistant and can help protect portfolios from the next economic downturn.

Hey everyone , I'm new to this forum , not new to the welding scene, anyway , I have a new challenge at work. I'm fabricating a stainless air diffuser out of 410 stainless steel , 1/4 th plate mainly with some thicker end details to be added later . I was just wondering what would be the best filler material to use ???? I will be TIG welding this assembly together . I've welded plenty of stainless in my time , but mainly 304 and 308 alloy . So I was wondering if there are any tricks to welding 410 material ????? Any help with this is appreciated . Thanks!!!!!!! Walt

welding 410 stainless steel
Welding 410
Martensitic (high-strength iron/chromium). Wear-resistant, but less corrosion-resistant. "Most common methods of welding, can be successfully employed with this alloy. To reduce the chance of cracking, it is advisable to preheat the workpiece to 350-500 F. Post-weld annealing is recommended to reattain maximum ductility. Filler metal, when required, should be AWS E/ER410." You can also use 309L with great results.

"410-Over & Under"
They have a tendency toward weld cracking on coolong when hard brittle martensite is formed. Chromium and carbon content of the filler metal should generally match those elements in the base metal.
Type 410 filler is available as covered electrode, solid wire, and cored wire.
Pre-heat and interpass temps in the 400-600F is recommended, and post weld heat treatrment is used to soften and toughen the weld.
Types 308, 309, and 310 austenitic filler metals can be used to weld martensitic steels to themselves or to other steels where good "as-deposited" toughness is required.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info guys !!!!!! The pre-heat and post heat requirements will really help out. As I said , I have welded alot of 304 stainless and that is so easy to work with . I had to special order some 410 alloy filler metal for this project and for another weldment still to come . I have the part assembled and tack welded and am now waiting for the filler metal to arrive . I'll let you guys know how this project turns out . Once again , thanks for the quick responses and helpful info , Talk to you soon !! Walt

Gear Question
Does this pack's laptop sleeve also hold...
Does this pack's laptop sleeve also hold a bladder and have a port for the tube?
Yes, the sleeve is for a laptop or bladder. The port doubles as a hydration tube pass through or a headphone pass through for the interior mp3 pocket.
The Hidden Llama
Yes, but the port for headphones/water is in the center of the top of the pack, which can make routing the cable a little tricky.

As modern as it sounds, Blaise is an ancient Christian martyr name,and also in Arthurian legend the name of Merlin the Magician's secretary. Its relation to the word and name Blaze gives it a fiery feel. Amanda Beard named her baby boy Blaise Ray.
Saint Blaise, an Armenian bishop, is the patron saint of wild animals and those with sore throats. Blaise Pascal was the seventeenth century French mathematician-physicist-inventor-writer-philosopher among whose many accomplishments was the invention of the calculator. And in the modern world, Blaise Zambini is a minor character in the Harry Potter franchise.

Numbers of Executions (Offenders on Death Row) by County of Incident
Thirty-five years ago today, the state of Utah executed Gary Gilmore by firing squad and restarted the death penalty in the United States. Texas followed suit, reinstating capital punishment in 1982 and quickly becoming home to the nation's busiest execution chamber.
A 1972 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that the states' use of the death penalty was arbitrary and capricious led to a de facto moratorium on the penalty across the nation. States began changing their death penalty laws, and the pause on executions ended with a subsequent high court decision in 1976.
The first post-moratorium execution in Texas was in 1982. Charles Brooks Jr. was executed for the 1976 shooting death of a mechanic. Since 1982, Texas has executed 477 men and women, more than any other state. And there are more than 300 men and women in Texas awaiting execution now.
Executions in Texas — and nationwide — eventually peaked and then evened out in the 1990s. In 1994, there were 328 death sentences issued nationwide, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Starting in 1999, though, use of the death penalty began to drop off dramatically, and by 2009 there were 109 death sentences.

Anderson lost because he got cocky and he finally paid for it. He dug his own grave, Weidman just put him in the hole.
Anderson lost because he got cocky and he finally paid for it. He dug his own grave, Weidman just put him in the hole.
I think Anderson knew that he was probably going to lose and decided to showboat extra hard so that people would write off the loss as him "not taking the fight seriously." But I don't think he expected to get knocked the fuck out like he did. I believe he figured he'd lose a decision, so he decided to make it seem like he was "giving away rounds."
But it wasn't like he wasn't trying, because he constantly tried to bait Weidman so he could catch him with counters.
PS - Jack Slack predicted that Silva could get caught like this. Normally Silva rolls with the punches by alternating directions since most MMA fighters alternate their strikes left, right, left, etc... Weidman threw Silva off by doubling up and going left, right, right, left.
Roaddawg is right, acting like a douche and getting embarrassed in historically awesome fashion is totally a great career/life move, WAY better than just vacating the belt or retiring. I don't like the pressures of my job either so tomorrow I am gonna go right in there, cuss out a sweet old lady that works there, pee my pants, and cry until I get escorted out. That is how classy champs handle their shit.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
I also read that Slack article, and was hoping that Weidman would double and triple up with his shots to try and catch Silva. I also recalled a UFC.com article from a few months back which mentioned that Weidman was working heavily on his left hook, and that he believed that it would a factor if he fought Silva.
I thought I saw the same thing when he fought Munoz - high kicks to raise his hands to make takedowns easier, then repeatedly leading with the right to bait Munoz into countering with his own right: then countering the counter with a right elbow for the finish.
However, I been reliably informed - ad fucking nauseum - that Weidman only beat Munoz cause Munoz was fat and out of shape, so I must have imagined all of that. So you are probably mistaken also. and it's far more likely that Silva decided to simulate being savagely knocked out because he's bored with winning all of the time.
Seeing a cocky clown get flatlined is always great. Listening to his zombie fans try to sell it or defend it is even funnier.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Well you also said he would win. If I remember right I predicted he would lose tonight with both Jones and GSP to follow.
I came to grips with that fact long time ago.
What I didn't know is that he would go rogue do his own thing and not treat Weidman like Sonnen. Contrary to popular believe Silva does not always fight the same and seldomly showboats against wrestlers.

Businesses back appeal to track Leicester tag vandals
Posted: January 15, 2013|
Businesses which have been targeted by prolific graffiti vandals have backed a campaign to track down the culprits by offering a reward for information.
The tags – Kase and SO 12 – have appeared at more than 2,500 locations in the past few months and removing them has cost Leicester City Council and businesses tens of thousands of pounds.
Businesses and groups who have been targeted by the vandals urged "public spirited" people to pass on the vandals' names.
The council is offering a reward of £500 for information which leads to the taggers' arrest and conviction.
Atin Patel, owner of Howitts pharmacy in Saffron Lane, said: "We are moving to a location in Saffron Lane and we've had both Kase and SO 12 sprayed on to the security shutters at the new shop.
"The shutters cost us £10,000 to £15,000 and the graffiti appeared as soon as we put them in. It was very annoying and inconvenient.
"I told the police and the city council about it and they came and did a demonstration with a graffiti removal kit and that got rid of them.
"We've had no more problems in the past few weeks.
"But these people will do it again if they are not caught."
Age UK had to take one of its minibuses off the road for two weeks in November after the Kase tag was sprayed on to the vehicle while it was parked in Yeoman Street, in the city centre.
Adrian Wilkinson, transport manager for the charity, said: "It is a good idea for the council to offer a reward – hopefully public spirited people will respond.
"The minibus was off the road for two weeks and we had to bring in a replacement. The vehicles are used to pick people up and take them to our day centres, so it was very inconvenient.
"I'm not sure of the exact cost of removing it but it was a substantial sum.
"The people who did this to our vehicle had no thought for the ramifications of what they did and I hope the council's appeal is successful."
Jennifer Chase, owner of Hair and Booty salon in Market Place, Leicester city centre, said the Kase tag was sprayed on her business a few weeks ago.
She said: "It was on one of our windows which we had to replace anyway, but when I saw it I was so upset.
"We are in a five-storey listed building which is about 500 years old but they didn't respect that and sprayed this thing on anyway."
By yesterday afternoon, four people had contacted the council with information.
Launching the appeal yesterday, assistant city mayor, Councillor Sarah Russell said: "In the past, we have shied away from offering rewards for information.
"But given the scale and cost of this problem we feel we have to try something new to encourage people to come forward with information.
"Hopefully, it will work and we will get the information we need to secure convictions."
Anyone with information about the people responsible for either of the two tags should contact Leicester City Council's city wardens team on 0116 252 6430.
All calls can be treated as confidential.
