Its been snow, ice, low temperatures and more snow for the past month in the north country, but not all ski resorts in the region have benefited from ideal skiing conditions.
This winter is crazy, Dry Hill Ski Resort owner Timothy L. McAtee said Wednesday. Weve been open since the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I dont think weve had one week of operation that didnt get interrupted by snowstorms, ice storms or super cold temperatures.
Mr. McAtee said that although he loves to see all the snow, storms, road closings and extreme cold have kept skiers off the Watertown resorts slopes.
Its an old-fashioned winter, he said. Itd be nice to see some sunshine on the weekends so people can come and enjoy the snow.
Mr. McAtee said that the natural snow without the storms, winds and subzero temperatures sometimes can draw more people to the slopes, but with unpredictable weather, man-made snow is a necessary base.
Big Tupper Ski Area at Tupper Lake hasnt been able to open yet this year because it hasnt had enough snow. Without a snow maker, the area is relying on Mother Nature, according to James M. LaValley, chairman of Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving their Economy.
Were not giving up, he said. Were still holding out that well get enough snow for skiing Presidents Day week, because the kids will have off of school.
Titus Mountain Family Ski Center in Malone also is looking forward to Presidents Day week and upcoming Canadian holidays to boost business.
Marketing Director Dene A. Savage said the resorts three mountains have been open and making snow since early December, and while the season was promising at first, business has slowed.
Januarys weather pattern made business worse than last year, he said.
Some resorts, however, have no complaints about the weather.
At Snow Ridge Ski Resort, Turin, manager Judith E. Sweeney said the ski area has been experiencing a great season.
We did some snow-making in December, but we havent needed to use the snow-making guns since then, she said. Because of Mother Nature we have more natural snow. Its saved a lot of money on electricity.
Ms. Sweeney said the area has had less ice and more lake-effect snow, perfect for many people who enjoy powder skiing.
People from all over have been coming here to ski because they know we got a lot of snow, she said.
Jon D. Lundin, New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority director of communication, said Whiteface Mountain at Lake Placid is experiencing an above-average year for weather conditions.
We started snow-making in November and opened before Thanksgiving, two weeks earlier than we usually do, he said. Its the second earliest opening we have on record.
Whether experiencing a good or bad season, all the resorts share the same hopes for Presidents Day week.
All ski areas have their fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate that week, Mr. McAtee said.

At the start of the lesson, students are introduced to philanthropy by reflecting
on ways they or someone they know has shared their time, talent or treasure to create
positive change. Students are amazed to discover many ways they already participate
in philanthropy, such as donating canned food or giving spare change to a person
in need.
The teacher then guides students through making a charitable donation with a TisBest
Charity Gift Card. Students each "spend" a $1.00 charity gift card by choosing a
charity to support in an area of interest to them, such as protecting the rain forest
or endangered species, caring for sick kids, or feeding a hungry family. Through
this hands-on giving experience, students learn that they can make a positive difference
in the world! Charities supported by student donations receive 100% of the funds
from each TisBest Charity Gift Card.
Following the charity gift card activity, students participate in literacy-focused
enrichment activities, each adhering to a Common Core standard. The activities encourage
students to think beyond their $1.00 charity gift card and identify concrete ways
they can continue to make a positive difference in the word around them.

The cost of a Classroom Giving Kit is $62.00 + $1.00 per student. For example, the
total Kit cost for a classroom of 30 students would be $92.00. Shipping is free,
and your entire DiscoverGiving purchase is tax deductible.
*Classroom Giving Kits are currently available for grades 3-6.
By participating in the DiscoverGiving program, students engage in activities designed
to boost their
levels of happiness and satisfaction and enhance the prosocial behaviors of generosity and compassionate
When K-12 students engage in service learning activities in the classroom, they demonstrate
an increased capacity for learning, a decline in absenteeism, and a stronger connection to their school. Significant health
benefits have been recorded in children who participate in generous behavior including a reduced risk of substance
abuse, depression and suicide in adolescents. Studies of fMRI scans show that giving
to charity relates to increased activity in areas of the brain associated with pleasure,
social connection and trust. Altruism has also been shown to be contagious.
When students give they create a ripple effect of generosity in their school community!

It may not seem like much, a single dollar can accomplish quite a lot. During the
lesson, students are given examples of how far a dollar can go to support a charity's
mission, helping them to understand the true value of their donation. Plus, the
enrichment activities included in the DiscoverGiving Kit encourage students to reflect
on how it felt to make a difference and helps them identify new ways to impact the
world, empowering each child to become a lifelong world-changer!
Charities supported by student donations receive 100% of the funds from each $1.00
TisBest Charity Gift Card. Together the dollars in a classroom can have an even
bigger impact. A classroom with 25 students will spend $25 benefitting a wide range
of charitable organizations. Multiplying that times 1,000 DiscoverGiving classrooms
means $25,000 in charitable donations to important causes. Together, DiscoverGiving
students can make a significant financial impact within the nonprofit community
and make the world a better place.

letter helped change the housing development plans?" "What inspires you the most
about Olivia's story?"

Model-data-comparison, Lesson 2
In addition, it is unclear what Pielke means by "realised emissions scenario" for the first IPCC report, which included only greenhouse gases and not aerosols in the forcing. Is such a "greenhouse gas only" scenario one that has been "realised" in the real world, and thus can be compared to data? A scenario only illustrates the climatic effect of the specified forcing – this is why it is called a scenario, not a forecast. To be sure, the first IPCC report did talk about "prediction" – in many respects the first report was not nearly as sophisticated as the more recent ones, including in its terminology. But this is no excuse for Pielke, almost twenty years down the track, to talk about "forecast" and "prediction" when he is referring to scenarios. A scenario tells us something like: "emitting this much CO2 would cause that much warming by 2050″. If in the 2040s the Earth gets hit by a meteorite shower and dramatically cools, or if humanity has installed mirrors in space to prevent the warming, then the above scenario was not wrong (the calculations may have been perfectly accurate). It has merely become obsolete, and it cannot be verified or falsified by observed data, because the observed data have become dominated by other effects not included in the scenario. In the same way, a "greenhouse gas only" scenario cannot be verified by observed data, because the real climate system has evolved under both greenhouse gas and aerosol forcing.
Pielke concludes: "Once published, projections should not be forgotten but should be rigorously compared with evolving observations." We fully agree with that, and IPCC last year presented a more convincing (though not perfect) comparison than Pielke.
To sum up the three main points of this post:
1. IPCC already showed a very similar comparison as Pielke does, but including uncertainty ranges.
2. If a model-data comparison is done, it has to account for the uncertainty ranges – both in the data (that was Lesson 1 re noisy data) and in the model (that's Lesson 2).
3. One should not mix up a scenario with a forecast - I cannot easily compare a scenario for the effects of greenhouse gases alone with observed data, because I cannot easily isolate the effect of the greenhouse gases in these data, given that other forcings are also at play in the real world.

Doug McDermott One of Three to Earn Spirit of Creighton Award
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton University College of Arts and Sciences and Heider College of Business graduate Hunter Allen, Dallas, Texas; Heider College of Business graduate Doug McDermott, Omaha, Neb.; and College of Nursing graduate Sarah Seifert, White Bear Lake, Minn., received prestigious Spirit of Creighton Awards at the University's commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 17.
The Spirit of Creighton Award is given annually to graduates who exemplify the best qualities of the University founders. Recipients are honored for their initiative, enterprise, academic achievement and outstanding character traits.
Allen epitomizes the qualities and character of what the award signifies. Fellow students, faculty and staff describe him as a man for and with others, who takes participation and commitment to a new level. As a student coordinator of the Freshman Leadership Program, he was a role model of leadership, enhancing the programs offered and mentoring hundreds of new students. One nominator said, "He instills confidence in people and creates an atmosphere of positivity wherever he goes."
Allen excelled academically and was consistently named to the dean's list while pursuing two majors and serving as a teaching assistant in mathematics. He held leadership positions in Phi Delta Theta fraternity, campus ministry and as a community activist. He also found time to care for others through participation in fall and spring service trips and weekly volunteering at the Jesuit Academy and Precious Memories Daycare. His impact has not gone unnoticed. He was named Creighton Students Union Mission Coordinator; "Mr. BlueJay" at Homecoming 2012; and Freshman Leadership Program Student of the Year in 2011.
Almost every superlative has been used to describe the achievements of McDermott on the basketball court. He was named national player of the year by 14 different groups; owns the top three single–season scoring marks in the University's history; was a consensus All-American for three years; and is one of three players in NCAA history to score more than 3,000 points and have 1,000 rebounds in a career. Arguably no student has done more to magnify Creighton University on a national stage.
A remarkable representative of the University, McDermott continually credits teammates, coaches, professors and classmates for his success. As one nominator put it, "I have seen no student more decorated because of his accomplishments, yet more humble in personality. Doug has represented the Creighton spirit to millions, with intelligence, humility and generosity."
McDermott takes his role as student seriously, excelling in academics and in service. He makes time to give back to the local community, visiting hospitals, nursing homes and local schools. His participation in activities to raise money for worthy causes is well-documented. He graciously makes time for fans -- especially youngsters -- and has been a kind and compassionate ambassador for Creighton.
Seifert's diversity of interests is exceptional, given the demands of her nursing studies. She is a leader in her sorority, Pi Beta Phi, a retreat director, and a mentor with Leadership Scholars. She is a member of the Creighton Students Union, Nursing Senate, Student Nurses Association, the Creighton Student Philanthropy Committee and more, bringing management acumen and leadership skills to each.
Spiritually centered, she gives tirelessly of her time and talent and has participated in service trips and as a Eucharistic Minister. She has worked with pediatric cancer patients and alongside other Creighton health science students in the Dominican Republic. She is consistently named to the dean's list; is a scholarship recipient; and is a member of Alpha Sigma Nu, Sigma Theta Rau International, and the Iota Tau Creighton Chapter of the National Honor Society for Nursing.

I am writing this letter to make a suggestion.
There are stop lights hanging at 100 West and Main Street in Price that have been covered up, and evidently not now needed. Now that the statue has been placed there, there is a four way stop.
Price has been in need of a stop light on the corner of Carbon Avenue and 100 South for as long as I can remember, yet none has ever been put there. It seems silly to me that we have stop lights that are wrapped up and not being used at 100 West and Main Street, yet we need one (and have needed one) for many years on 1st South and Carbon Avenue (by the corner of the post office).
Why is that? Wouldn't it be more feasible to put the unused stop lights to use there at the post office corner instead of just wrapping them up and not using them where they are?
Just a suggestion ...

Hoping to pick up a little ground in the SWAC, CEU headed east to take on CCNW four four. Trading blows, each team garnered two wins in the series. CEU lost the first 5-1 and came back to win 4-0 in the second. Saturday saw them crush their opponent 10-1 before losing the final game 5-1.
Marcus Hamatake allowed CCNW to score in each of the first three innings. CEU scored in the first but left eight stranded throughout the game.
The highlight of the series came in game two. Pitcher Jayson Madson not only shut out CCNW, but pitched a no-hitter. Two walked and an error that allowed another base runner were all that stood between him and a perfect game. The Eagles strung together four runs on eight hits to help the cause.
Game three was Cole Evans chance to take the mound. He held CCNW scoreless until the fourth. The Eagles were holding onto a one run lead at the time. They tacked on two in the fifth to open up a margin and then in the sixth the bats began to thunder. By the end of the inning they had added six to open up an insurmountable lead and the win. It didn't hurt that during the game CCNW pitchers thumped four different CEU batters.
The final game began as a pitchers duel. Jake Bankowski was able to hold CCNW scoreless until the fourth. He allowed two to score. CEU came back with one of their own in the sixth. CCNW scored three to ice the victory in the bottom of the sixth and the Eagles had no answer in the seventh. Bankowski pitched a complete game despite the loss.
The team will now head north to take on SLCC. They were scheduled to play at home this weekend, but they traded home stands with SLCC and played them at home earlier in the season. It will now be April 20 and 21st before they will play in front of a home town crowd.

Bayes' Theorm Part 2: The New Testament as History
Christian apologists often state that historians should treat the New Testament merely as any other document that they may find from that era. Then test the books according to the standards of historical research to see if they are, in fact, reliable. The one caveat added is that one cannot presume that miracles are impossible. That is what I will attempt here. This post will not presume that the canonization of the Scripture is indicative of divine preservation and approval. The assumption of divine preservation seems to be outside the normal considerations of a historian.
The assessment of initial probabilities needs to be understood in terms of background assumptions. Keep in mind that one can initially assess the plausibility of a hypothesis, compute a new plausibility based upon evidence, and the resulting assessment may be considered a "prior" for a new assessment based upon other evidence. In other words the a priori values are based upon experience and evidence. If someone thinks my prior assessments are unjustified, feel free to show how I should make my initial assessment.
My initial assessment of the plausibility of a real resurrection in the absence of evidence would be very low. As in my previous post, I am initially skeptical of claims requiring a supernatural cause. I do not think they are impossible. In my lifetime I cannot think of any event that could potentially require a supernatural cause. I have seen magic tricks that I can't explain, but the magicians didn't claim to use supernatural powers. It certainly doesn't seem unreasonable for a historian to think (in the absence of evidence) the probability a reported event requires supernatural cause is one in a million 10-6.
If one were to receive historical books from about 2000 years ago, what is the likelihood that the books were passing off a legend as history? I suppose that my initial probability would be low. I expect most people to honestly pass on what they know. However, there is a great deal of precedent for having an expectation of fraud in a religious work. There was a Christian forger who attempted to pass off a third letter to the Corinthians and was caught in the act according to the church father Tertullian. In the New Testament, the writer of 2 Thessalonians 2:2 is warning of a false letter. Either Paul has knowledge of fraud or 2 Thessalonians itself is fraudulent. In either case, fraud is known to occur in religious writing. False teaching seemed to be rampant according to Paul. For examples see Galatians 1:6-9, 2 Corinthians 11:4, and 1 Timothy 4:1-3.
Further, the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Peter, and Acts of Peter are examples that Christians presume are pious fraud. The fact that the NIV Bible notes that Mark 16:9-20 is not in the earliest and most reliable manuscripts (and other verses believed to be interpolation) is also indicative that some early Christians may have felt justified in passing on pious fraud.
There are other examples of works of fantastic claims from that era. Apollonius of Tyana reportedly was half god and half man, healed the sick, raised the dead, and at the end of his life ascended to heaven. There were ceremonies commemorating the ascent of Romulus (the founder of Rome) into heaven after he was murdered by the senate and rose from the dead.
Even noted historians reported unbelievable events. Josephus recorded in the Jewish Wars that a cow gave birth to lamb; a bronze gate (that was so large it required 20 men to move) unbolted itself and opened itself at midnight. Herodotus recorded many obvious legends as well such as the temple of Delphi magically defending itself and a mass resurrection of cooked fish. Richard Carrier gives much more context in Chapter 5 of the book "The Empty Tomb." In light of this data, it seems reasonable that a historian would have an a priori expectation of fraud at least as high a 1 in 10.
My a priori value for the natural/default hypothesis is the higher than the other two. However, the probability of the data (a resurrection) is so implausible on this hypothesis, that I will ignore it in my calculations, (just as I ignored it in the second calculation in the ESP post.)
The historical evidence for the resurrection comes primarily from the four Gospels and the letters of Paul, particularly 1 Corinthians. In my previous post, I went to the trouble to calculate the probabilities of each data on each hypothesis. In the case of two hypothesis, it is only necessary to compare the relative explanatory strengths of the hypothesis. For this initial argument, assume that the Resurrection hypothesis has twice the explanatory power of the Legendary hypothesis. So if the probability of observing the historical evidence on the Legendary hypothesis is Z the probability of observing the evidence on the resurrection hypothesis is 2.0× Z. (As I stated previously, detailing the evidence will have to be done later.)
These assessments are summarized in the table below. From the values in the table, one can utilize Bayes' Theorem to assess the plausibility based upon the evidence.
a priori
|HLegend or Deception
|1.0 - 0.1 - 10-6
Putting these values into Bayes' Theorem gives:
Thus it seems very plausible to think that the Gospel writers were passing off a legend (either knowingly or unknowingly). Note that even if the resurrection hypothesis does a better job of explaining all the observed evidence, belief in the resurrection may still not be warranted. This is because we have observed both deceit and legendary development in similar settings. In order to avoid this conclusion, one would need to have data that is extremely implausible on the legendary hypothesis.
One example of evidence offered is given by the rhetorical question "Would the disciples have died for a lie?" A problem with this rejoinder is that one would have to show that the reports of martyrdom could not be part of the legendary development. The New Testament does not record the deaths of eyewitnesses other than James (Acts 12:2), and it is not clear what charges he died for, or if recanting could have spared him. Books that do record the apostles deaths (such as the Acts of Peter), seem to have legendary characteristics, even according most Christians. Belief in reports of martyrdom is susceptible to the same "deception" hypothesis that had the effect on the assessment of ESP.
This assessment can again be characterized by the parable of the boy who cried wolf. Even if the events are historical, the fact that so many have made fantastic claims makes rejection of all reported supernatural claims reasonable. This problem seems inherent to establishing very unusual claims on the basis of testimony, particularly hearsay.

UBS News Alert
UBS sells its Brazilian operation "UBS Pactual" for approximately USD 2.5 billion (CHF 2.8 billion)
Today, UBS announces that it has agreed to sell its Brazilian financial services business, UBS Pactual, for approximately USD 2.5 billion to BTG Investments, headed by André Esteves.
The sale of the Brazilian business is consistent with UBS's policy to continue to reduce its risk profile, strengthen its balance sheet and sharpen its business focus. UBS expects no disruption to its other businesses as a result of the transaction.
The transaction will take place at a premium to book value. It will increase Tier 1 capital by CHF 1.3 billion, decrease risk weighted assets by CHF 3.0 billion, and reduce total assets by CHF 6.3 billion. It will strengthen UBS's BIS Tier 1 ratio by approximately 60 basis points.
UBS expects the sale to result in a small loss. A detailed description of the effects of the transaction on UBS's quarterly results will be provided in the Q1 2009 financial report to be published on 5 May 2009.
The consideration will be a combination of cash and the assumption of liabilities and the transaction is expected to close in mid 2009, subject to regulatory approval.

Former Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Visits Felician College
LODI, N.J. -- Felician College recently was visited by Dr. Franjo Komarica, Catholic Bishop of Bosnia, who spoke to a large crowd of faculty, staff and students, of his experiences working for peace in Europe during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.
"You are fortunate to be in the United States where there is a respect for truth, respect for justice," Bishop Komarica told the audience through a translator, his nephew Drazen. "There are freedoms here that many take for granted, but there is a responsibility, too, to bring hope to big nations and to small peoples who have been forgotten."
The Yugoslav wars were characterized by the ethnic conflicts among the peoples of what was then known as Yugoslavia and Bosnia, and by the infamous war crimes committed including mass murder and genocide.
Bishop Komarica related personal accounts of the conflicts – "a terrible evil" – and his kidnapping in 1996 at the hands of military officers.
"After praying, I found my fear had left me. I asked the soldiers, who had guns pointed at me, 'Can I look at you before you shoot me?'" the Bishop recalled. "I think I confused them because they could see I was no longer afraid. They released me, telling me, 'You get a pass for today.'"
He recalled other horrific events, having witnessed the atrocities of war. He said he was grateful for American intervention in stopping the wars through the Dayton-Paris Agreement.
"Until that time, it was like friends and neighbors became enemies overnight. There was no trust, people were afraid for themselves and for their families," Bishop Komarica said. "Everyday people were being liquidated. How does this happen? We're still struggling to understand."
Bishop Komarica's work with government leaders and with the peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, formerly Yugoslavia, to restore peace and provide a safe haven for those who fled during the wars, earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace prize in 2003. He is a recipient of the Franz Werfel Human Rights Award granted to individuals or groups in Europe who, through political, artistic, philosophical or practical work, have opposed breaches of human rights, including the deliberate destruction of religious, ethnic or racial groups.

The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- The NHL has reached the quarter mark and the honeymoon
period for struggling coaches is officially over. Washington axed Coach Bruce Boudreau this morning and replaced him with former NHLer Dale Hunter while Carolina fired Paul Maurice and replaced him with Kirk Muller. Washington has been a notorious playoff
underachiever in recent years but typically runs away with the regular season Eastern
Conference crown. But the Capitals currently sit in eighth place
and have lost six of eight games, sparking the move. Hunter had been the coach of the OHL's London
Knights and turned them into one of the league's model franchises with a
451-189-23-24 mark across 11 seasons.
Maurice was originally the coach of the Hurricanes from 1995-2003 and
led the team to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002.
He also coached the Toronto Maple Leafs for two seasons before returning
to Carolina in 2008. The Hurricanes were
expected to be a borderline playoff team, but currently sit in 14th place in
the Eastern Conference. Maurice went 384-391-145
in 920 games with Carolina. Muller
began coaching the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals - an affiliate of the Nashville
Predators – in June and had led them to a 10-6-0-1 mark. Both Hunter and Muller are highly regarded,
but you have to think Hunter has a more realistic chance of turning his club
- Detroit snapped Boston's 10-game winning streak with a 3-2
shootout victory on Black Friday.
- Boston got right back in the win column on Saturday with a
4-2 victory over Winnipeg. The Bruins
have picked
up 23 of a possible 24 points in their last 12 games.
- Detroit beat Nashville 5-1 on Saturday for its fifth
consecutive win.
- Pittsburgh beat Ottawa and Montreal on Friday and Saturday
and is now 3-0-1 since Sidney Crosby's return.
The Kid has two goals and six assists in four games. Ottawa's Nick Foligno voiced his displeasure with
Crosby's free-swinging elbows after Friday's game.
- Rookie sensation Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice on Friday
to help Edmonton beat Minnesota 5-2.
- Patrick Sharp recorded a hat trick and Jonathan Toews added
five points to help Chicago slide by Anaheim 6-5 on Friday.
- In Vancouver Cory Schneider continues to start in place of a
healthy Roberto Luongo. Schneider picked
up his second shutout in a row on Friday, making 22 saves against Phoenix, and
led the Canucks to a 3-2 win over San Jose on Saturday with 43 saves. Schneider has picked up four
straight wins.
- St. Louis beat Columbus 2-1 in Ken Hitchcock's return
yesterday. The Blues are now 7-1-2
under Hitch and have given up just 12 goals since he took control of the
- On Friday night the Islanders became the second
team since expansion to be shutout six times in their first 20 games as the New Jersey Devils beat them 1-0. The loss also dropped the Islanders under
.500 all-time for the first time since
Mike Bossy's rookie year. The Devils
faced the Islanders again on Saturday and this time the Islanders won 3-2. Zach Parise's apparent tying goal with two seconds
left was disallowed, to
his disbelief. The Devils ceded
their fourth
shorthanded goal in nine games in the contest. It was the Islanders' first road
win of the season. Inexplicably,
Islanders' rookie Nino Niederreiter has been scratched
for four consecutive games.
- On Saturday the Colorado Avalanche recalled top
defensive prospect Stefan Elliot, who proceeded to score in his first NHL
game. Colorado made the move after
putting Erik Johnson on injured reserve.
- Detroit forward Patrick Eaves is out for six-to-eight weeks
after he took a Roman Josi slap
shot to the face on Saturday.
- Edmonton lost Taylor Hall to
a shoulder injury yesterday.
- Philadelphia will be without forward James van Riemsdyk for
one-to-two weeks as he
sits out with an upper-body injury.
- Goalie Kari Lehtonen exited Saturday's game against Phoenix with
a lower-body injury. That's a big
blow to the surprising Stars.
- Buffalo was without nine regular players on Saturday because
of a
rash of injuries.
- Max Pacioretty broke Kris Letang's nose with
this hit on Saturday night and he will likely be hearing from NHL
disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan.
Pacioretty, if you recall, was the victim of a gruesome hit by Zdeno
Chara last spring.
- Carolina made defenseman Tomas Kaberle a healthy
scratch for yesterday's game.
- On Friday Calgary claimed
forward Blake Comeau off waivers from the New York Islanders.
- Niclas Bergfors signed
with AK Bars of the KHL.
- Jaromir Jagr plans

By Aldo Panessidi
The founder of one of Europe's leading illegal movie-streaming sites confessed and apologized for his crimes and got his sentence cut in half by a German judge. Deutsche Welle reported that 39-year-old Kino.to founder "Dirk B." has been sentenced to 4.5 years in jail. He could have been ordered to spend 11 years in prison, but received a reduced sentence after confessing to his copyright infringement crimes.
Millions of eager viewers downloaded movies and watched them on the latest smartphones including the iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy2, HTC EVO
Many viewers also used tablets like the New iPad/iPad 3, Samsung Tab, Motorola Xoom and the HTC Flyer
Dirk B. will have to pay a $4.7 million fine to cover 1.1 million instances of copyright infringement. While in operation, Kino.to is estimated to have brought in as much as $8 million in advertising revenue.
Most recently, law enforcement officials in Sweden first raided The Pirate Bay in 2006, and the company's founders were eventually sentenced to jail and forced to pay millions in fines. The service remained online, however, and it is still operational today. "The Swedish district attorney Fredrik Ingblad initiated a new investigation into The Pirate Bay back in 2010. Information has been leaked to us every now and then by multiple sources, almost on a regular basis. It's an interesting read," The Pirate Bay said on its blog. "We can certainly understand why WikiLeaks wished to be hosted in Sweden, since so much data leaks there. The reason that we get the leaks is usually that the whistleblowers do not agree with what is going on. Something that the governments should have in mind – even your own people do not agree."

Long Term contract for the EGNOS Services provision awarded to ESSP SAS Data tal-pubblikazzjoni: 27/06/2013
Long Term contract for the EGNOS Services provision awarded to ESSP SAS
On June 26th, a €450 million contract for the provision of EGNOS services until 2021 was signed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and the European Satellites Services Provider (ESSP SAS) in the presence of European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani. (picture : courtesy of ESSP)
EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) improves the performance of the US GPS system by providing both correction and integrity information.
It enables precision landing approaches and makes air navigation safer in more than 80 European airports to date - a number which is increasing every week.
Today´s contract will secure the continuous provision of EGNOS services and also covers the maintenance and upgrading of EGNOS's system infrastructure.
The eight year duration of the contract clearly indicates the EU has committed to provide the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) user communities with the visibility and stability which is required to invest and benefit from in EGNOS applications.
EGNOS delivers opportunities for Europeans to use more accurate positioning data, for improving existing services or developing a wide range of new services for different market segment such as aviation, mapping, precise agriculture, road, and location-based services (LBS).
EGNOS is made up of transponders on board three geostationary satellites, and an interconnected ground network of forty positioning stations and four control centres which cover most of the territory of the EU.
EGNOS offers three high-performance navigation and positioning services:
1. EGNOS Open Service increases the accuracy of the current GNSS and enables the use of applications requiring higher precision by correcting errors caused by atmospheric disturbance factors. Citizens can profit from better personal GNSS navigation provided that they use an EGNOS-enabled receiver (as most recent models do). This Open Service is also already widely used in agriculture for high precision applications such as the spraying of fertilisers and in mapping (for an accurate measurement of areas).
2. The Safety-of-Life Service enables precision landing approaches and renders air navigation safer as well reducing delays, diversions and cancellations of flights. EGNOS also enables the planning of shorter, more fuel-efficient routes which reduce the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry.
3. The Commercial Service or EDAS provides a terrestrial commercial data service which offers professional users ground-based access to EGNOS data.
More countries and Air Navigation Services Providers join EGNOS
Recently, in spring 2013, two working agreements were signed on the implementation of EGNOS-based operations in Poland and the Exeter and Devon airport in the UK. These come in addition to agreements concluded with France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and for the UK Channel Island of Guernsey. The working agreement is a first step towards the publication of EU Member State agreed EGNOS procedures. These EGNOS services will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency for pilots and operators, without the need for infrastructure installation and maintenance.
EGNOS is currently available over more than 80 airports (details on http://www.essp-sas.eu), while other European airports should also soon be equipped.
EGNOS's Safety-of-Life service provides the following benefits:
• Increased aviation safety: EGNOS allows precision landing which significantly reduces safety risks, especially in poor weather conditions.
• Lower operating costs: The EGNOS signal is provided free of charge and only requires a receiver on-board the aircraft. No ground infrastructure is required.
• Less delays, diversions and cancellations: EGNOS requires lower aircraft separation limits at busy airports during poor meteorological conditions, meaning fewer delays, diversions and cancellations of flights
• Less noise pollution: The optimised flight routes and 'curved approach' procedures made possible by EGNOS allow planes to optimise their descent to the runway, limiting noise to the area surrounding the airports.
• Increased capacity for smaller airports: The vertical guidance offered by the system means planes are able to land in restricted visibility conditions, increasing the capacity of airports, especially small and medium-sized airports that cannot afford the more expensive alternative technologies.
In order for the EGNOS service to be used airports must have specific runways landing procedures.
EGNOS is owned by the European Commission and was launched in 2009 to be part of the Galileo global satellite navigation system. The European Space Agency designed EGNOS under a delegation agreement with the Commission.
EGNOS is the first pan-European satellite navigation system. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) and in India by the GAGAN System. Other similar Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are under study or development in other regions of the world.

Israel Chemicals Ltd.'s parent mulls split into two companies
June 26, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Israel Corp. (Tel Aviv), the parent of Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL; Tel Aviv), is examining plans to split its assets into two companies, Israel Corp. announced in a statement today, quoted in various media reports. Israel Corp.'s chemical and refinery assets, mainly ICL, would be split from the group's nonchemical assets, under the announced plans. The separation process, if approved, is expected to be completed within 6–12 months. Family-controlled Israel Corp. would continue to own ICL and Oil Refineries Ltd., Israel's largest refinery, the...

Although he's an all-star this year, most still call Matt Wieters a disappointment because he hasn't turned into the "Mauer with Power" type player we were all expecting.
Still, he's the best defensive catcher in the majors by far and his .728 OPS isn't terrible. But here's what leads me to believe he could eventually become a guy that puts up an .800 OPS consistently:
Prior to 2011, Wieters hit .284 with a .768 OPS against right handed pitchers (including .313 in his rookie season). But this year he's hitting just .248 against righties.
If you adjust Wieters' 2011 stats and give him his stats against righties from 2009-2010, as opposed to his 2011 stats vs. righties, he'd have an .815 OPS for the season.
Here's to hoping Wieters can continue to hit southpaws like he has this season and can find some success batting left handed.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Updates And The VMA's
Posted on February 12, 2008The latest snippets on Theory Of A Deadman? 1) The band have a covermount CD track on Metal Hammer (7/11). 2) As of September 29th, the band's run of tour dates in the USA with Nickelback is done. 3) Check out Metal Hammer's Nov issue out Oct 7 for a 'Check Em Out' piece on the band. 4) Don't miss Classic Rock (Nov issue) for a Future Classic feature. 5) Watch out for a band feature in Powerplay magazine coming up soon in their November issue.
Last night (Aug 29th) the MTV Video Music Awards took place. Tyler from Theory Of A Deadman was in NYC last night, as "Hero" was up for best video from a film. Tyler, along with Josey (Saliva) - both of who were in the "Hero" video with Chad Kroeger - attended the show...along with Elias (Roadrunner Records). Random Fact: Elias' seat for the show was 604E. What the hell does that mean? Well, technically Theory Of A Deadman is signed to 604 Records (Chad's imprint on Roadrunner...604 happens to be an area code in Canada). As for the 'E,' well that's Elias' nickname - 'E' (very original, yes). A sign? Maybe so - if you believe in that sort of shit. BUT, "Hero" did indeed win the award for best video from a film - that film being Spider-Man...but, of course. Congratulations to all involved in the making of the "Hero" video...

I recently installed Apache, php and mysql on my Windows 7 machine.
When I enter "http://localhost/index.php" the first time, nothing happens. It seems like it's looking for the web page. The browser doesn't respond.
But when I stop the browser and enter the url the second time it responds correctly.
I always have to enter the url twice for it to work.
Does any one know why this is happening?

|A Closer Look at ObamaCare, Salt Lake City, UT
ObamaCare was sold to Americans based on strong emotions and loose facts. Its effects are just starting to hit consumers with higher prices and business owners are responding with lay-offs and hiring freezes. Individual repercussions are predicted to be much worse when the law is fully implemented.
Congress and the Supreme Court have failed to stop this train wreck, and only one solid solution remains. Oklahoma State Representative Dr. J. Michael Ritze will explain this solution as well as what other effects we can expect from ObamaCare.
Plan to attend this crucial presentation of the Choose Freedom – Stop ObamaCare tour today!

A discussion regarding derelict properties highlighted the Helper City Council meeting last Thursday. The officials grappled with the problem of what to do with dilapidated, abandoned houses that owners refuse to deal with at locations within Helper city.
"Late last year, the former council asked me to start proceedings concerning three properties in town that are run down," stated Gene Strate, city attorney. "Two of the properties were cleaned up and repairs accomplished by the owners so there is no action needed. However, we do have one property that is still a problem."
During the discussion, the officials determined the former owner had been contacted, but had passed away. The new owner has also been contacted about the property and has failed to remedy the situation.
"I have sent her a number of registered letters, but she has refused to pick them up from the post office," indicated State. "I want to know if the council wants me to begin condemnation proceedings."
If Helper succeeds in taking over the property, Strate said city crews may be needed to tear down the house.
It was also determined that Chief Mike Zamantakis issued a fire hazard citation following a city inspection at the site several years ago. The structure is still in bad shape, including the roof which is caving in in some places.
"I think these people just can't afford to fix the roof," indicated Strate. "This will be a very difficult situation to prosecute."
The council decided to proceed with the case unless the situation is resolved by different means, such as someone fixing up the property.
In an unrelated matter, the officials indicated that Helper has almost completed the process of setting up a new planning and zoning commission.
"It has been a difficult situation," said Mayor Joe Bonacci. "We just get the commission set up and someone quits. But I think we have it set now."
The discussion was fostered by people who are trying to get a zoning change in order to start up a business in the town. The developers were told that the commission would be operating within 30 days.

News: Hill Placed on IR
The Jets decided to put an end to Stephen Hill's tough rookie season today, placing the receiver on IR after spraining the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. Hill was unlikely to play in the Jets' final two contests anyway so this was merely a formality. Hopefully for Hill, this offseason will be dedicated to rehabbing and improving his receiving abilities after a disappointing year. The Jets knew from the start Hill would be a project but, it seems fair to say there were expecting more than what they got. On the flip side, the poor quarterback play didn't exactly help Hill either.
The Jets have called up cornerback Donnie Fletcher to take Hill's place on the roster. There is one open spot on the practice squad.

- Description
How does the Women's Rebalancing Cleanse work?
The Women's Rebalancing Cleanse from Blessed Herbs is a 10-day regimen that utilizes gentle herbal ingredients – no fasting or harsh laxatives required. It both nourishes your body and encourages a healthy response to the physiological stressors that cause your menopause symptoms – and cleanses your liver, kidneys, thyroid gland and more at the same time.
Internal feminine cleanses are the foundation of the naturopathic road to healing. By cleansing your digestive tract (stomach, intestines, colon, lining) you effectively "clean the slate" leaving your body and digestive systems ready to optimally absorb the vitamins, nutrients and herbal remedies that help your body cope with your menopause symptoms.
Why Cleanse for Menopause?
The Women's Rebalancing Cleanse balances your body's inner systems with phytoestrogens and digestive health stimulator compounds from Burdock root, Fenugreek and Black Cohosh. It also includes Marshmallow root (an herbal medicine staple) to absorb toxins and coat your digestive tract as well as Triphala fruit & Indian gooseberry for antioxidants, fatty acids and essential nutrients.
Combined with the isoflavones from Kudzu root for maximum healthy inflammatory response, the Women's Rebalancing Cleanse from the Blessed Herbs Natural Menopause Support line is designed to work synergistically with all other Natural Menopause Support products or by itself.
Herbal Ingredients
Burdock Root – Burdock Root's phytoestrogen content promotes your body's natural estrogen-like response, making it the "MVP" of the Blessed Herbs Women's Rebalancing Cleanse formula. This herb helps purify as well as detoxify your blood and also contains inulin, a natural fiber traditionally used to improve digestion.
Fenugreek – Fenugreek has several medicinal properties. Fenugreek helps restore your body's healthy digestive function, and is considered an excellent addition to "bitter" remedies and as a carminative herb.
Black Cohosh – One of the oldest staples of herbal feminine health remedies, Actaea racemosa contains the isoflavone "formononetin" a phytoestrogen compound that can bind to estrogen receptors, mimicking your body's healthy, balanced response to the hormone.
Marshmallow Root –Native to Europe and western Asia, Marshmallow root contains the amino acid Asparagine, and utilizes naturally-occurring mucilage to help absorb your body's toxins and coat your intestinal tract.
Triphala Fruit – A staple in Ayurveda traditions, Triphala is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C. Triphala is known as a cleansing agent, and is thought to promote a healthy digestive response and toxin cleansing in your body.
Indian Gooseberry – Also known as Amla fruit, Indian Gooseberry is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that help your body's natural defenses flush toxins from your body. Amla is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals as well.*
Kudzu Root – This tenacious, roadside herb common in the Southeastern United States contains isoflavones like Daidzein, Daidzin, and Puerarin. Kudzu also functions as an antioxidant and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

- FAQ's
Can the products of Menopause Support be taken together?
Yes. While the Blessed Herbs Menopause Support line of products contains formulas designed to address the specific discomforts of menopause separately, they have been formulated to work synergistically when taken together. The ingredients and amounts have been put together so that there are no negative interactions and the only result is a feeling of overall well-being and good health!
Do I need to use all the Menopause Support products?
No, the Blessed Herbs Menopause Support line of products gives individual formulas designed to provide relief from the primary discomforts of menopause separately. Depending on the symptoms you may be having, you can choose only one herbal supplement, or all of them. That being said, for best results, we do recommend starting with the Women's Rebalancing Cleanse (above) as a way to balance your body before beginning the use of the individual supplement formulas.
We strongly believe in the naturopathic foundation of cleansing before herbal supplement programs. With so many unnatural substances entering our bodies each and every day, cleansing and detoxifying the organs can help "clear the slate" and kick-start a more effective program. For menopause, we specifically designed the Women's Rebalancing Cleanse to target the female reproductive system.
