The leaders of big-time college sports agree that transfer rules need to better accommodate players.
The days of coaches having a say in where an athlete can transfer could very well be going away, though it's not likely deregulation will lead to a system in which athletes come and go as they please.
How that change happens is up for debate.
The wealthiest college football conferences (Big 12, Big Ten, Atlantic Conference, Pac-12, Southeastern Conference) are willing to work with all of Division I to come up with a solution, but they also want the power to make their own transfer rules if need be as part of an autonomy structure the NCAA is moving toward.
That worries the schools outside those powerful leagues, concerned they'll be in danger of losing their best players to the Big Five.

Sremski Karlovci, German Karlowitz, Hungarian Karloca, also spelled Carlowitz, town in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia. It lies along the Danube River and on the road and rail routes from Belgrade to Subotica (in Vojvodina) and Hungary. In 1698–99 the village was the site of a 72-day congress that ended hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and various European states in the Treaty of Carlowitz. By this treaty, the Habsburgs took from the Turks control of the village and the surrounding region of Vojvodina, which was peopled by Serbian refugees from Ottoman rule. The town also was host in 1848 to an assembly of Vojvodina Serbs who declared the region's independence from Hungarian rule. The surrounding area is noted for its cereals and fodder crops and the fruit farms and vineyards of the Fruška Mountains. Pop. (2004 est.) 8,900.
Alternative titles: Carlowitz; Karloca; Karlowitz

I am beginning to look into updating my rig, and one of the things that has bugged me about the internal audio is the lack of any global equalization options. (Thanks for dumbing down the drivers realtek ) Since I am not doing any kind of audio production I want to have everything tuned to my tastes in one central location.
Looking around though it seems as though software equalization is not as common as I would have expected. Currently I am driving a set of KSC-75's and a Pioneer SX-626 hooked to two Technics SB-L72's for gaming music listening. I would like to stay in the <$200 range. I had kind of wanted something like a ESI Audio Juli@ but I would also Like to avoid buying extra hardware.
If anyone has any opinion I would be happy to hear it.
In addition if I am better off with an external stereo EQ, would I be able to hook a multi-channel headphone amp like the Behringer HA400 to it and feed to the stereo and headphones or would this be a bad idea. (I plan on buying one eventually anyway, just want somebody to say this is a horrible idea if it is before I kill something)

Older Creative soundcards with the KX driver can do global EQ and a lot more.
The good thing is that those soundcards (SB Live, Audigy...) are very cheap. With some luck you can get one for free.
The bad thing is they're not that great in specs regarding sound quality. (Looking at RMAA tests for SB Live, at least. Might not be audible.)

A Boston-based company has secured financing for $120 million in solar energy projects it plans to build on Cape Cod and Marthas Vineyard.
Broadway Electrical Co. Inc., announced Monday that its financial partner Rockland Capital of Texas and New York has closed on debt for 37 megawatts of solar energy, including 24 megawatts for the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative.
Its a significant positive step, Broadway president Jonathan Wienslaw said Tuesday.
The projects are expected to cost $120 million to construct, he said. Towns that belong to the cooperative are expected to save money on electricity rates, which will remain fixed for the next 20 years, according to a press release.
The debt agreement between Rockland and two banks Deutsche Bank and Key Bank hinged on changes in contract language that gave Broadway extensive rights if there is any default by the cooperative. According to a March 11 memorandum written by the cooperatives attorney and obtained by the Times, the language change was nonnegotiable.
A representative for Rockland Capital did not respond to a message seeking comment for this story.
Most of the nine towns and entities involved in the projects have signed off on the new language, said Wienslaw and cooperative president John Checklick.
A couple of them have asked for a little more time to consider changes and work through their own approval process, Checklick said.
The 24 megawatts of solar energy projects covered under the deal is less than half the 50 megawatts originally announced by the cooperative a year ago.
Since that time, various projects have been cut from the list because of problems with roofs, concerns about clear-cutting and conflicts with other uses for the land parcels. Seven megawatts proposed at Barnstable Municipal Airport part of the Rockland debt deal is still awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is studying the effects of glare on pilots and air traffic controllers.
Another 14 megawatts not included in the financial package announced Monday is subject to additional approvals because of conflicts with state law that prohibits the use of water protection land for other purposes.
That needs legislative relief, Checklick said, adding that the cooperative hasnt given up on those projects.
Work on the projects moving forward is expected to begin this year and could be complete by 2014, he said.
Not everyone is happy with the financing arrangement.
West Tisbury Selectman Richard Knabel said that, while he supports the 883-kilowatt solar array planned for his towns landfill, he feels the deal through the cooperative is fraught with unnecessary difficulties and unnecessary complexity.
Knabel abstained when the two other members of his board voted to sign on to the revised contract language, he said.
They handed us a take-it-or-leave-it contract, he said.
Longtime critics of the cooperatives relationship with the Cape Light Compact, which buys power in bulk for Cape and Vineyard customers, were similarly concerned with the arrangement.
Eric Bibler, who is among the most vocal critics of the two groups, said the Compact has bankrolled the cooperatives activities with no return for the Compacts customers, adding that a 10 percent share of the benefits from the project that was initially slated for the Compact and cooperative member towns was waived.
Chris Powicki, a renewable energy advocate and a member of the Brewster energy committee, agrees.
From my perspective consumers got screwed out of their 10 percent direct share, he said.
Despite criticism from Bibler and Powicki, and concerns among members of the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates, Checklick said he is confident the cooperative will persevere.
We continue to move forward, he said. We all have a positive outlook.
There are 740 kilowatts of solar projects already installed through the cooperative at seven Cape sites, and an additional 16 megawatts at eight locations, including landfills in six towns, still awaits financing.
The 16 megawatts are being developed by American Capital Energy, which is working on its own financial deal to fund the projects, said the companys director of business development Bill Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick declined to discuss the details of the financial deal but said he expects construction on the companys slate of cooperative projects to begin this year.
Although both Fitzpatrick and Wienslaw said they believed they had most or all of the agreements with NStar that are needed to begin construction, utility officials indicated work and payments to clear some of the projects for connection to the grid is still ongoing.

After a crazy Saturday of college basketball—11 ranked teams lost and a few of the elites barely survived upset bids—maybe we shouldn't be surprised that St. John's was able to knock off the third-ranked Duke Blue Devils this afternoon.
But there could have been no way to anticipate the level of the beatdown the Red Storm administered Sunday at Madison Square Garden—a 93-78 domination of the Blue Devils. St. John's outhustled and outshot Duke from the opening minutes of the game on the way to a 21-point halftime lead, and first-year Red Storm coach Steve Lavin's squad never allowed the Blue Devils to really put the outcome in doubt in the second half.
The Red Storm needed this win to support their case for an NCAA Tournament bid, and despite their pedestrian-looking 12-8 record, this win comes very close to locking up a bid in a year where the bottom half of the field of at-large candidates is filled with flawed tournament resumes.
St. John's owns the third-toughest schedule in the country (according to CollegeRPI.com) and now has four victories against RPI top 25 teams—Georgetown (6th), Notre Dame (9th), Duke (12th) and West Virginia (13th). The only other two schools that can make the same claim are Pittsburgh and Connecticut, and both of those schools are in the mix for a No. 1 seed.
This is Duke's second loss of the season, and both have been on the road. Only three of their wins have been by fewer than 10 points, but on Sunday the Blue Devils looked very much like a team that still has to make plenty of improvement if they're going to have a chance to repeat as national champions.

Washington, D.C.-- Colorado's newest wildfire, which erupted north of Durango late Tuesday, is the latest to qualify for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The Valley fire marks the fourteenth Colorado wildfire to qualify for a FEMA Fire Management Assistance Grant, provided to help defray associated fire-suppression costs. The funds for the Valley fire were authorized about 2 ½ hours after the State of Colorado filed a request for assistance with FEMA.
FEMA Director Joe M. Allbaugh, who visited Durango earlier Tuesday, was nearby when the Valley fire erupted in the Falls Creek area on the west side of the Animas River, north of Durango.
"Having seen this fire firsthand, I know that FEMA resources will be an important part of this firefighting effort," Allbaugh said. "We remain committed to helping Colorado through these devastating and unprecedented wildfires."
Federal fire management assistance is made available by FEMA to manage, mitigate and control fires that threaten to cause a major disaster. The assistance covers eligible state firefighting costs, including expenses for field camps; equipment use, repair and replacement; tools, materials and supplies; and mobilization and demobilization activities.
FEMA fire management assistance has been authorized in Colorado this year for the Snaking fire April 23; the Cuerna Verde fire, May 1; the Black Mountain fire, May 5; the Schoonover fire, May 23; the Iron Mountain fire, June 2; the Trinidad Complex fire, June 3; the Ute Pass fire June 7; the Coal Seam fire, June 8; the Hayman fire, June 9; the Dierich fire, June 10; the Missionary Ridge fire, June 11; the Million fire, June 19; the Wiley Ridge fire, June 23 and now the Valley fire.

A Note From The Chief 2006
A year of transition.
The downtown area is taking shape with the introduction of the
new roundabout and parking garage.
This fall, 200 college students from the
moved into Spinner place and the new River Walk opened allowing access
to the
Part of the re-development plan provided for the addition of a
new police officer position to the department.
We anticipate adding and additional position within the next
two years as the downtown continues to grow.
On July 1, 2006 Officer Nathaniel Skip Gould retired after
more than 20 years with the Winooski Police Department.
Skip started his policing career in 1971 with the City of
, dedicating over 35 years of his life to policing.
Skip will be missed and we all wish him a wonderful retirement.
Two new officers have been hired this year to
fill the open vacancies. Benjamin
Adams and James Charkalis were hired and attended basic training at
, graduating on November 17th.
In addition to Officer Adams and Charkalis, the department was
fortunate to attract and hire a very experienced officer from
to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of an officer.
Scott McGivern was hired after spending 20 years with
Sheriffs Office, the last 6 years has their evidence technician and
crime scene investigator.
Winooski Community Justice
; under the direction of
Janelle Gilbert-Fuller
, continues to promote the principals of balanced and restorative
justice within the City. The
Center, which is a function of the police department, expanded
services to include Offender Reentry.
In designing an offender reentry program our goal is to have the
Winooski Community Justice
coordinate the provision of a wide range of opportunities for
offenders to return to the community.
Our goal to the community is to provide accountability of
program participants. Our
participants are accountable for their actions, are monitored and
provided with supportive services to reduce their recidivism and
become productive and responsible members of society.
Funding for the
Winooski Community Justice
is provided through several sources.
The Vermont Agency of Human Service (Corrections) provides
direct funding for the restorative justice initiatives and the Victim
Advocate is funded by a Federal Grant administered by the Department
of Justice.
The men and women of the Winooski Police Department continue to
do their best to provide quality policing services to our community.
We assigned an officer full-time to investigate illicit drug
activity and an officer to youth services.
By addressing the demand and the supply, we hope to decrease
the amount of drug related criminal activity in the area.
Policing a community is challenging and complex.
The members of the police department are well trained and
dedicated to the task at hand. Please
visit us at our web site, www.winooskipolice.com,
for updated information and take advantage of our feed-back page
to comment on our services.

This section tells you what documents we have and what documents we still need.
View the budget used to package your financial aid.
We are federally required to calculate an estimated budget for every student who attends Southwestern. THIS IS NOT YOUR BILL. In this section, you can see the numbers we are using. The Student Budget lists annual costs for tuition, room, board, books and "other" expenses - things like gas to get back and forth from school and trips to the store for toothpaste, clothing and soap. These "other" costs are expenses that you will most likely experience, but will never appear on your Southwestern bill.
Secondly, the screen categorizes your financial aid into 1) how much is provided in the form of scholarships and grants (things you do not have to repay), and 2) how much is provided in the form of loans (money you do have to eventually repay).
Finally, the screen gives you a picture of how well Southwestern College fulfills your overall financial need considering ALL college expenses. This section uses the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA to do this calculation. Again, THIS IS NOT YOUR BILL. The Total Remaining Unmet Need at the bottom of this section is for consumer information purposes only. For further information regarding the terminology in this section and about how federal financial need is determined, see Financial Aid Responsibilities.

|Association of a genetic variant of BTN2A1 with chronic kidney disease in Japanese individuals.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21557786 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Aim: Although recent genetic studies suggested that several genetic variants increase the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD), the genes that underlie genetic susceptibility to this condition remain to be identified definitively. We showed that the C → T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1 and A → G polymorphism (rs2569512) of ILF3 were significantly associated with myocardial infarction in Japanese individuals by a genome-wide association study. The purpose of the present study was to examine a possible association of these polymorphisms (rs6929846, rs2569512) with CKD in Japanese individuals. Methods: A total of 7542 Japanese individuals from two independent populations were examined: Subject panel A comprised 971 individuals with CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL min(-1) 1.73m(-2) ] and 2269 controls (eGFR ≥ 60 mL min(-1) 1.73m(-2) ); and subject panel B comprised 1318 individuals with CKD and 2984 controls. Results: The chi-square test revealed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1, but not rs2569512 of ILF3, was significantly related to the prevalence of CKD both in subject panels A (P= 0.0383) and B (P= 0.0477). Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates revealed that the C → T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with the prevalence of CKD in subject panels A (P= 0.0422; recessive model; odds ratio, 2.36) and B (P= 0.0386; dominant model; odds ratio, 1.21) with the T allele representing a risk for this condition. Conclusion: Our results suggest that BTN2A1 may be a susceptibility gene for CKD in Japanese individuals.

Cobalt blue is a semitransparent pigment with low to moderate tinting strength. When it dries, it appears lighter and less saturated. Pigment particles are large and grainy. Differences in how the pigment is ground and mixed lead to considerable differences in its performance among various manufacturers.
Cobalt blue is absolutely lightfast and extraordinarily stable. The stability of cobalt salts at high temperatures make them the standard for blues used in ceramics and glassware.
Cobalt salts are toxic. Avoid respiratory and skin contact. Soluble cobalt may cause irritation and allergic reaction through contact with skin. It is considered a possible carcinogen.
Since ancient times, smalt blue has been used to color glass and ceramics. Cobalt salts, which give smalt its characteristic blue color, were identified in the 18th century. Techniques for manufacturing Cobalt Blue, a chemically pure salt of cobalt and aluminum oxide, were developed in 1802.
Smalt Blue
This Naphthol Red is a bright deep red with bluish undertones. It has an average drying time.
This Naphthol Red has fair to good lightfastness, not because of its masstone, but because it fades in tints. Not suitable for exterior use.
Naphthol Reds are not considered toxic. They may cause eye, skin, or respiratory irritation. Contact with dry pigment should be avoided.

LETCHER Co., Ky. (WYMT) - Last Thursday officials, educators, nurses and various community members took to the podium sharing their comments regarding the proposed payroll tax for all employees within Whitesburg's city limits.
Council members gathered on Monday evening and passed the 1.5 percent tax.
Council Member Tom Sexton shared his opinion on what he called a polarizing topic.
"I probably read over the ordinance 17 or 18 times," said Sexton. "I thought it was pretty fair and standard so I think this is what's necessary right now in order to keep our city afloat and to keep progress going."
The vote was not unanimous, however this legislation did pass and is effective as of January first of next year.
City leaders said the local paper will publish more details and every employer will receive a copy.
Sexton said the issue could always be revisited.
"Six months down the road we think okay this is generating a crazy amount of revenue," said Sexton. "You know we're operating well above our budget and these sorts of things maybe we can dial it back down to make it more fair for people."
Their city attorney said this tax includes provisions and exemptions everyone needs to know.
Sexton said anyone with questions or concerns should feel free to reach out to other city leaders, including council members and the mayor.

The York Revolution now have a managing partner from York County.
Opening Day Partners -- the ownership group that brought professional baseball back to York County after a 37-year hiatus -- will remain an integral part of the Revolution's ownership group, but York County's Bill Shipley is now the managing partner and chairman of the franchise's board of directors.
Shipley, the CEO of Shipley Energy and a Spring Garden Township resident, had joined the Revs' ownership group in a minority ownership position, as the team's vice chairman, in February 2012.
The Revolution announced his elevation to managing partner in a news release on Tuesday morning.
The club also stated that Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson and team president/general manager Eric Menzer have been added to the club's board of directors. The five-man board, which meets on a quarterly basis, also includes ODP chairman Peter Kirk and ODP president Jon Danos.
"I think this is a big deal in that it marks the continuing evolution of the franchise," Menzer said. "It shows that this is a lot more than just a baseball team on the field."
When Opening Day Partners named Shipley as a minority owner about 18 months ago, Kirk noted that finding local ownership had always been a long-term goal for his group in order to build its ties to the community.
Opening Day Partners has planted franchises in Lancaster, southern Maryland, York and Sugar Land, Texas. The group also manages the Camden Riversharks in joint ownership with Atlantic League founder Frank Boulton.
"Having Bill, Eric, and Brooks in these expanded roles further helps the Revolution build our deep connection with the York community," Kirk stated in the news release. "We think all minor-league teams benefit from strong community connections and local leadership.
"It is clear that as the Atlantic League continues to develop and the team and baseball operations are now well-established in York, the organization as a whole can be most fully develop with experienced local business people and civic leaders like Bill and Eric continuing to increase their respective roles."
Kirk was not available for further comment.
Menzer noted that Shipley spent the past year and a half understanding the franchise's business.
"My interest in being an owner of the Revolution stemmed from my interest in the role they play in our community," Shipley stated in the release. "It has become clear to me that there is enormous potential for the Revolution to become a premiere franchise in all of minor-league baseball. That is exciting to be involved in."
Robinson, who made his professional debut in baseball with the York White Roses in 1955, has been involved with the Revolution's ownership even before ground was broken at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
He served as an advisor with Opening Day Partners. He remained visible in recent years, joining former Orioles teammate and longtime friend Andy Etchebarren when the Revs celebrated their league championship in 2011.

Utah lawmakers look to amass environmental war chest
Legislators on Tuesday aired a proposal to establish an "environmental protection defense fund" that would finance efforts to gather data and oppose future federal decisions that could severely limit energy development in Utah.
The state is not ready to defend its interests should federal agencies decide greater sage grouse and other species, as well as the Uinta Basin airshed, warrant protection, energy industry lobbyist Jeff Hartley told the Legislature's Executive Appropriations Committee.
"You need to find a pot of money and start building it up because you are going to need it," Hartley said. "There are over 100 potential endangered-species listings. All will negatively impact energy production."
Conservationists have long argued that grazing, off-road motorized recreation and energy development are erasing habitat for the West's iconic bird species, which they say deserves federal protection. The sage grouse's historical range includes the Uinta Basin oil patch, and listing the bird would be expected to impede drilling there and in other parts of Utah.
Federal officials plan to determine by the end of 2015 whether sage grouse warrant federal protection.
Hartley highlighted a rare species of beardtongue, also called penstemon, that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says grows only on oil shale outcrops in eastern Utah's Uintah County. Listing the plant as an endangered species, as the agency proposes, could shut down oil-shale development, according to Hartley.
His clients include Red Leaf Resources, which hopes to soon secure approval to mine and process Utah shale.
"Unless we are equipped with good data and unless we have smart attorneys who know how to beat EPA on air-quality issues and how to beat Fish and Wildlife on endangered-species issues, this state will be inadequately prepared to go into those fights and you will lose," Hartley said.
"When you lose," he added, "you lose hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue that will be locked up because you can't access the land for production."
Sen. David Hinkins, R-Orangeville, said he is drafting legislation to appropriate money necessary to support such a fund.
This wouldn't be the first time lawmakers invested taxpayer dollars in campaigns to fight federal actions that limit local control of public land in Utah. The Constitutional Defense Council, for example, was set up to prevent wilderness designations. It now helps counties litigate road claims against the federal government.

OVIA nets $2.5m funding round
OVIA, the Online Video Interviewing Application software, and friend & Alumni of TWiSTldn following their early stage pitch at our very first meetup, announced their latest round of funding from DCM.
For insights into the deal, check out this article on VentureBeat, with David Chao, co-founder and general partner of DCM.
It comes not long after a deal which saw the company move entirely to the US and a round of funding through Dave Mclure's 500 Startups.
TWiSTldn companies will be familiar with OVIA, since we've been using the application to take preliminary applications to pitch at our meetups and the team will agree, it's been a fantastic tool to cut through the nonsense of sifting through decks, emails, phone calls, coffee meetings and get some short straight answers to our questions about the companies and to get a real feel for who the entrepreneur behind the idea is.
I'm sure there's much more to come from OVIA, and as a member of the TWiSTldn community, we're rooting for them to kick ass.

The Skerbeck Brothers bring carnival rides and food to All Saints Superfest.
- Filed Under
Maybe you've already seen the tents and flashy carnival rides in the parking lot of St. Joseph Church, 61 N. 23rd St. The crowds of people are soon to follow.
All Saints Superfest opens 6 p.m. Friday and runs until Sunday. Expect the festival staples: live and silent auctions, Las Vegas games, a tent for kids and lots of food.
The big, traditional dinners will be served up differently, but "the same aroma will be in the air," said Ed Bauman, festival coordinator.
Two cover bands will take the main stage. Midnight Special: The Classic Rock Experience is on Friday and ONE: A Celebration of U2 is on Saturday. Tickets are available at allsaintssuperfest.org.
Bauman said another popular act is the children's talent show at noon Sunday, which usually fills up the tent.
"I really look forward to getting the community and the parish together over the weekend," organizer Vince Miller said. "You see people you haven't seen for a while. The camaraderie is just amazing."
The festival is a combined effort of three Catholic parishes: St. Joseph, St. Philip and St Jerome. The money goes toward their community outreach and Battle Creek Catholic Schools.
? FOOD: Hispanic, Burmese, St. Lawrence Grill Team, pancake breakfast by the Knights of Columbus at 8 a.m. Sunday and carnival food.
? FUN: Carnival rides are open 6 to 11 p.m. Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. The Las Vegas tent opens at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. There will be a beer and wine tasting from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
? MUSIC: Midnight Special: The Classic Rock Experience at 8 p.m. Friday. ONE: A Celebration of U2 at 8 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $20 for each show, or $125 for a table with eight seats.
? COST: $1 admission per person, no more than $5 per family; carnival rides cost extra.
? HOURS: 6 p.m. to midnight Friday; 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday; noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Fins and Feathers on the Grill
Pretty much everyone has grilled chicken, but when it comes to grilling fish and other seafood, many are a little hesitant. Don't be. It's much easier than you think to turn seafood into seared food.
But first, let's look at grilling chicken and what you might not know.
I never bothered to learn how to grill chicken properly. It seemed a waste of time and sort of, well, beneath the image I have of myself as King Griller. Besides, I was satisfied with how my chicken turned out. But, once I did some research on it I found that, yeah, maybe I didn't know so much.
Now my grilled chicken is even better—and my reputation hasn't suffered a bit! Maybe you know all this, but these seven tips adapted from Good Housekeeping helped me step up my game:
Grease your grill: I did do this, even though I usually grill with skin on and either marinated or rubbed in some oil, depending upon what else we're having. But play it safe. Before lighting your grill, spray the grate with a cooking spray or brush with oil. Can't hurt.
Heat it up: Sear the chicken to seal in the juices and to make it easier to turn your chicken.
Seasoning: Many marinades and basting sauces have high sugar content and can burn if your grill temp is too hot. Hot is good for quick-cooking cuts (skinless, boneless breasts) while a lower heat works better for longer-cooking cuts (bone-in parts). Basting? Hold off until the chicken is almost fully cooked.
Close it down: If you have a cover, always close it. This will make your grill work more like an oven and you'll have fewer flare-ups.
Patience is a virtue: Resist the temptation to move your chicken while it cooks. Follow recipe instructions or turn just once midway in the process.
No poking: Use long-handled tongs or a wide spatula to move your chicken. Poking with a fork allows precious juices to escape. Bad choice.
No pink: Don't risk serving under-cooked chicken. Use a meat thermometer to test. 180 degrees for a whole chicken, 170 degrees for breasts. Alternately, make a small cut into the thickest part to check for pink.
If you want to grill a whole chicken, try this recipe:
Beer Can Chicken
- 1 (4-pound) whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of your favorite dry spice rub
- 1 can beer (or other favorite drink)
Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper, and dry rub. Set aside.
Open beer can (or try a cola, root beer, or any other liquid placed in a rinsed out 12-ounce can) and take several gulps (make them big gulps so the can is half full). Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod. (See the Rosle Chicken Roaster or do a whole meal at once with the BeeRoaster with Potato Clips.)
Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (i.e. no coals or burners on directly under the bird), with the grill cover on, for approximately 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F in the breast area and 180 degrees F in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Other recipes with grilled chicken:
Grilled Buffalo Wings; Chicken Lime Pizza on the Grill; Grilled Chicken Breast with Sweet Potato-Andouille Hash and Mustard Beurre Blanc
OK, raise your hand if you're afraid to grill fish. Don't be shy. I certainly was. In fact, cooking fish at all is not a favorite task. But grilling? Oy. Then I discovered it's just not that hard. Here are five tips, adapted from the folks at StartCooking.com.
Think thick: Steaks from tuna, swordfish, mahi-mahi, and salmon do well, but also consider trout, red snapper, striped bass, and bluefish—if you can get past the eyes and tail! Frankly, those do me in. Tender fillets (sole, flounder, tilapia) don't fare as well because they tend to break up and fall through the grate. But you can grill them if you consider a grill basket.
Can't beat the heat: Start off with your grill as hot as you can get it so that as soon as the fish hit the grill they get seared. This seals the juice and firms the flesh.
Planking isn't just an old fad: Consider a CHEFS Cedar Grilling Plank. Another great option for the tender fillets. Grilling on a wood plank provides a nice smoky flavor. Presoak the plank, arrange fish on top, cover and grill.
Marinade: A simple mix of oil, vinegar, and your favorite spices is all it takes. Or, coat tuna or swordfish in mayonnaise, sprinkle a little salt and pepper, and slap it on a hot grill—a few minutes each side.
It's done when: Rule of thumb: eight minutes per inch of thickness—10 minutes if you're grilling whole fish. But check it two minutes before you think it should be done. (Handy hint: Everything, not just fish, continues to cook for a few minutes after it leaves the grill.)
Mahi Mahi with Nectarine Salsa Recipe
- 1 medium nectarine, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped cucumber
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 2 mahi mahi fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Dash salt
For salsa, in a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Drizzle fillets with oil; sprinkle with salt. Using long-handled tongs moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill fillets, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until fish just turns opaque. Serve with salsa.
Yield: 2 servings.
Other recipes with grilled seafood:
Grilled Bacon Wrapped Scallops; Grilled Jumbo Shrimp; Whole Grilled Sea Bass; Grilled Citrus Tuna.

HUD and VA Release New 2010 Veterans Data
October 28, 2011
HUD and VA jointly released the second annual Veteran's Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR), which assesses the nation's homeless veteran population. HUD and VA use this information in their work to end veteran's homelessness through the Obama Administration's Federal Strategic Plan, Opening Doors. Opening Doors is an unprecedented federal strategy to end veteran and chronic homelessness by 2015 and homelessness among children, families and youth by 2020.
Currently, an estimated one out of every six men and women in our nation's homeless shelters are veterans, and veterans are 50 percent more likely to fall into homelessness compared to other Americans. This is unacceptable and USICH and our federal partners are committed to fixing this problem. Nowhere is our obligation to our citizens, and to those who have defended our nation, more important, more visible, or more urgently necessary than in our commitment to end veteran homelessness.

UK government announces ambition to build enough wind power to move the country completely to renewables by 2020, encounters skepticism.
News at 11:00.
Ho hum. I'll believe it when I see it.
Our government is deeply schizophrenic when it comes to climate change and renewables. For example:
I also don't understand why they're so set on wind. We have plenty of wave resource plus one of the largest tidal reaches in the world in the form of the Severn. They are deeply confused.
Hi Scatter,
yes I saw a thing on that tidal resource and it looks impressive, much larger than the power output of the 3 Gorges dam even! However, it would only provide 5% of the UK's electricity demand, let alone transport fuels.
Basically with the double whammy of Global Warming and Peak Oil approaching, I think we need all the renewables hype we can get. And the thing that people don't often realize about wind power is it's incredible ERoEI. It has a VERY high Energy Return on Energy Investment... something like 50 times the energy returned that it cost to make the turbine in the first place. (Including mining and smelting the metals, transporting the turbine, and installing it.) Other renewables have an energy profit, but not as large... solar PV rumoured to only be 2 to 5 times the energy it took to make the panel. I'm not sure of the ERoEI on large scale Concentrated Solar Power (which can supply 24 hour baseload power by storing heat for the night shift). That strategy could work for the UK if it was willing to rely on Saharan electricity imports as it is now technically feasible to transmit that electricity up from Africa along HVDC lines... see http://www.trec-uk.org.uk/ for more.
If we electrify transport with electric rail (20 times more energy efficient than trucking) and trams, and roll out the wind, tidal, wave power and CSP, we'll create a cleaner and more energy secure world for our kids. That's got to be a good thing hey?
Oh, Alex... I think you meant to say: "UK HOMES Completely Powered by Renewables by 2020?"
The article specifies domestic homes — and that the goal for all these wind turbines would only really make up 20% of the UK's current energy budget. So 100% of homes is good, but it will be essential to bring in industry, commercial, infrastructure, and transport as we hit peak oil, gas, and then coal.
Of course, while I don't believe it either, setting the goal and committing some resources in that direction, is a good step.
This isn't the first time that oil prices have given rise to serious public concern, but this time around I think we are likely to get results. It won't happen overnight, but it should happen.
We have technologies that give us viable alternatives. Now, we can quibble all day one what is and what is not viable, whether it will happen fast enough, or perhaps whether it is too late anyway, but change is going to happen.
I'm looking forward to it.
Dear Alex,
I am concerned about your posting of a Headline entitled UK Completely Powered by Renewables by 2020? along with a similar lead line, when the story is clearly talking about installing enough wind power just to take care of the housing needs in the UK. Certainly this is achievable and well before 2020.
As the costs of fossil fuels continues to increase it would be ludicrous not to set goals such as this. In fact we should be setting a target of making a rapid transition to move completely to renewables - which I believe could pretty much be done by 2025. That would give us almost twenty years. This is what we should all be talking about and beginning to plan for. Rather than raise skepticism when government begins to do the right thing we should be championing and celebrating it.
Please send me an explanation as to what happened that you ran the title and lead line that you did.
Rob Wheeler
The Centre for Alternative Technology released a report in July - titled Zero Carbon Britain - which mapped out how to move the UK entirely over to renewables by 2027.
It would involve halving energy demand and installing massive renewable energy generation.
I'd recommend giving it a read - zerocarbonbritain.com
Dave, most numbers I've seen suggest a payback for wind turbines in the 9 months to a year range. I reckon 50 times is a little high but could be possible for offshore I guess.
You're absolutely right on the 5% of electricity for the Severn but there's plenty of other areas around the UK where we could harness tidal streams. We have some very lively tides! And we've been so slow in developing wave resources which is crazy given our coastline. I'm glad to see more movement in this direction recently.
And I'm a big fan of TREC. Good to see that getting attention recently too.
I'm all for employing every single renewable technology we have at our disposal but I just don't think our government gets this yet (they're completely distracted by the nuclear sirens).

Wooden Robots, Vendor Rep
If Kobe could skate, here is his shoe! These shoes are super comfortable but feel like they would be perfect for skating even though they are not from the Gravis skate line. With all the features you would expect in a skate shoe packed in a limited edition high top, this one blows all other high tops out of the water! Super comfy footbeds help you stomp that round-the-world dunk or the 10-stair down at the elementary.
i would really like a pair of these shoes but i cant find them anywhere if you perhaps no a websyyt or someone whos selling these in size 7 could you please let me no thanks.
LTD Collection with upgrades!
This shoe might as well be in the IV Sk8 line! IT has a Double wrapped foxing (The rubber on the sole of the shoe) making the high traction outsole insanely durable for skating or whatever stress you are putting them thru.
They are a 1 time color LTD edition with premium leather and canvas also increasing durability.
Color is ON point!!

Northern Light Offers New Billing Service
From The Search Engine Report
March 31, 1998
Northern Light said the billing service is expected to especially appeal to groups wishing to do online research but which require monthly invoicing, as opposed to credit card billing.
"We have had librarians and professional researchers who want to use our service but they can't use a credit card. That was a stumbling block," said Hilary MacPhail, Northern Light's Director of Enterprise Marketing.
Despite that problem, many professional researchers have already taken advantage of Northern Light's Special Collections, MacPhail said. The new system simply makes it easier for others to use the unique service, which has begun calling itself a "research engine."
It's a good term, because Northern Light blends together two worlds that are important to researchers: research databases and the World Wide Web.
While the average web surfer is used to searching the web for free, material from many publications is not published online, so it cannot be found using an ordinary search engine. Instead, this material is available from research services such as Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones.
Professional researchers have long used research services, but they've not been as accessible to a broader audience. One main reason is that they tend to be expensive. Even searching for matching documents can cost money, with some.
Northern Light has continued to grow its own research database and now has more than 3,400 sources contributing to it, such as the Atlantic Monthly, The Economist and Rolling Stone.
But unlike the traditional research service model, Northern Light charges by the document, not by connect time. That lets anyone search for free for matches, and users then pay between US $1 to $4 to read the full-text of the story.
Of course, Northern Light also offers a free web-wide search service, like a normal search engine. But unlike a normal search engine, search results present the best matches from both free documents on the web and those in the Special Collections area. This can be very helpful for professional researchers, because it allows them to check both important areas at the same time.

Bye Bye WVIAC?By Chris Hunter | November 1st, 2012 | Category: Lead Story | No Comments »
This Glenville State football team would have been something special any year given their conference record. Although it isn't official yet, the Pioneers could go onto be on top of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association Conference forever with a win over Shepherd. That is because one of the largest and oldest Division 2 conferences is breaking up. Yes for those of you unaware the WVIAC is separating and Glenville State is one of many members who potentially will be joining the Mountain East Conference.
The Mountain East Conference is far from being created just yet but several steps have taken place that look bad for the WVIAC. First, Seton Hill University and University of Pitt Johnstown, who joined the conference in 2006, have already made it official that they will be joining the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. The move seems especially shocking when one considers the amount of success that Seton Hill had within the conference. However, that isn't the only thing that spells bad news for the WVIAC. The Mountain East Conference proposal already has the interest of 12 teams. Eight of those teams Glenville is quite familiar with. The University of Charleston,Concord, Shepherd, West Virginia State, West Virginia Wesleyan, West Liberty, Wheeling Jesuit, and conference rival Fairmont State. Three new foes will also be on the schedule for the Pioneers if the proposed conference goes through. Notre Dame College(Ohio), Urbana University(Ohio), and The University of Virginia College at Wise are all planning to be part of the initial Mountain East Conference. Lastly, Ohio Valley University, Davis and Elkins College, and Alderson Broaddus College all have jumped the ship as well but as members of the Great Midwest Conference.
The move to the Mountain East Conference is sure to change many things for Glenville and all former members of the WVIAC if it does occur. The WVIAC has been around since 1924 and the conference has seen many changes. Back then key members of the conference were West Virginia University and Marshall University. In 1933 another current Division One member was a part of the conference in Morehead State. The conference was able to survive these significant members leaving the conference but if the Mountain East Conference is formed that will leave only Bluefield State College in the WVIAC with not much chance for expansion within the state because Salem International also is joining the Great Midwest Conference and that only leaves NAIA member WVU Tech to seek out too. Times have never looked so grim for the WVIAC but the new conference should be something special for the student-athletes at Glenville State college.

Don from Port Huron: "I'm wondering why Marcotte won't take the pizza boxes in the recycle bins? This is twice now they've been thrown out to the side when they come and collect. They are cardboard, so I don't know why they won't take them."
Corrugated cardboard is recyclable, but paper products contaminated with double cheese, pepperoni and a garlic crust are not. The problem is grease fouls up the paper re-manufacturing process. And there is no way to remove it from a pizza box.
Bill H. from Port Huron: "I don't know where these judges and the Supreme Court judges get that much power where they can release these young murderers back out onto the street. It sounds to me like it's job security, between the judges and the lawyers. What they should do is buy the houses next door and around the neighborhood to these judges and politicians and let these kids live next door to them. Maybe they wouldn't be so quick in releasing these people!"
I believe they get the power from Article III of the U.S. Constitution.
No Name: "I was just reading in the paper about the people, down in Dearborn, that want to change the ordinance because this is the way they want it in the area. You know, I'm getting kind of tired of people of coming here from another country and we have laws and all of a sudden we have to change our laws to suit them. If you go to their country, you have to obey their laws, and there isn't any changing their laws. Why do we have to change our laws for them? If they don't like the laws, they can move or they can go back to where they came from."
One of my neighbors likes to flip up the overhead door, unfold the lawn chairs and enjoy summer afternoons from his garage-turned-patio. And nobody makes racist remarks about him.
Jim from Port Huron: "Hey, Michael, I saw you at Will at the Water this past weekend with two handsome young men. Maybe they should get up on stage. I enjoyed the performances. Wanted to know what you thought of it."
I loved the performances and am always impressed with the talent of the actors, singers and musicians of Enter Stage Right. It would be better, though, if St. Clair could somehow ban illegally unmuffled motorcycles from downtown for the weekend. And you're right, those two guys should be on the stage. How do they become members of next year's troupe?
Mary from Marysville: "On Sunday, Aug. 11, four of us senior women were having breakfast at Sero's and some gentleman paid our bill. We would like to thank him for his kindness."
Kathy from Port Huron: "I was just reading your article about the anti-blight department. I can't believe that we really need seven people to do this job. The other thing is, is, hmm, what exactly is blight? And perhaps the city could put out a list of what blight consists of and you could print it in the paper so people could fix it before."
Good idea.
No Name from Port Huron: "I am a former trustee and officer at the club where the man has the bad breath. Everyone there is aware that he has severe halitosis. Our motto is: If you can't speak well of a member, you do not speak ill. But we will place mouthwash in the men's restroom."
Wanda from Port Huron: "I have learned Sprint is updating all of their cell towers at the same time in our area. If your service is lacking, as is my daughter's, she has none, they don't expect to have them up and going until the end of October. Please contact the FCC. This is not safe when people rely on cell phone only."

Business; Economists Duel (in Print) on Taxes
By DANIEL ALTMAN
Published: February 16, 2003
WHAT do you get when you combine 10 winners of the Nobel in economic science, two former chairwomen of the Clinton administration's Council of Economic Advisers, the president of the American Economic Association and about 450 other economists?
If you add the Economic Policy Institute, a research group based in Washington, you get a full-page advertisement in The New York Times last Tuesday disparaging the White House's latest plan to cut taxes.
On the same day, the National Taxpayers Union rereleased its open letter in support of the tax cuts, which has been signed by 115 economists, including three Nobel winners.
A day later, the White House released a list of 250 economists who support the president's tax-cut package. It includes many of the same names as in the taxpayers union's letter, but just one of the Nobel laureates.
Peter J. Sepp, a spokesman for the taxpayers union, said his group's decision to rerelease its letter was definitely in response to the ad, to show ''that there is another, a different chorus of voices singing from a different songbook'' about economic policy.
So, does either side win? As any self-respecting economist would say, you have to look at the data.
Alan S. Blinder, a professor at Princeton who was vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and a member of President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers, cautioned against taking either set of supporters too seriously.
''What you tend to get is dueling lists: who can get more on their side, or more prestigious lists, or whatever,'' he said. ''It's not scientific polling.''
He had seen the statement in the ad but did not sign. In part, he said, ''I wasn't that eager to get in the middle of a mud-wrestling contest.''
Lawrence R. Mishel, the president of the Economic Policy Institute, put the ad together in a week, using a simple and time-tested process: he drafted a statement, brought a few celebrated economists on board, solicited responses from a long list of others and hoped that word of mouth would do the rest.
His early signers included George A. Akerlof, who shared a Nobel in 2001, and Janet L. Yellen, chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 1997 to 1999 and a governor of the Federal Reserve before that. Mr. Akerlof and Ms. Yellen happen to be married to each other and are professors at the University of California at Berkeley.
With their help, more than 20 other Berkeley economists signed, including Daniel L. McFadden, who shared the Nobel in 2000. Leading experts in virtually all fields of economics, and from most top university departments, also signed the ad opposing cuts.
Mr. Mishel said he was surprised by the heartfelt nature of the responses. One Nobel laureate, Franco Modigliani, 84, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, insisted on traveling from Cambridge, Mass., to Washington for a news conference on Monday despite his frail health.
''His wife didn't want him to come; his doctors didn't want him to come,'' Mr. Mishel recalled. ''He came in using a cane.''
Perhaps not surprisingly, a bevy of well-known economists from left-wing policy groups also signed the institute's ad. The White House's list included several distinguished conservatives. Yet the five Nobel-winning economists currently teaching at the University of Chicago, famous for its pro-market bent, were all missing.
More responses to the institute's ad may be on the way, though. William W. Beach, the director of the Center for Data Analysis at the Heritage Foundation, which has championed tax cuts, said the ad had energized his economic modeling staff.
''Much of the work we've been doing now, and in the past couple of weeks, could be a response,'' Mr. Beach said. ''We'll try to organize it in such as way that it goes to some of the points that were made in the ad.''
Mr. Sepp added: ''There's not a monolithic consensus of opinion against the elements of the Bush plan, and especially on the overall issue of how tax reductions should be implemented.''
The battle of the brains has just begun.
Photo: When a group of economists opposed the Bush tax plan in this ad last week, another group supporting the cuts reissued its message.

Unfortunately I can't verify your issue on XP, either:
The other thing I'd try (in the "turn it off and on again" vein of troubleshooting) would be to remove Meslo, download it again from https://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font and re-install it. The reason I mention this bit of paranoia is that I seem to recall there were various forks of Meslo floating around at some point and maybe you're using one them?
It may also make sense to start a fresh thread. As my issue was resolved a few posts up, there may not be enough eyes reading all the way through.
As for Windows' font rendering, yes, it stinks. As a habitual typophile and occasional web designer, it drives me up the wall. One thing that almost always improves even poorly rendered fonts is white space, I don't know how I used to live before sublime added the line_padding options.

Fujifilm X10 gets early November ship, $600 price
updated 04:35 pm EDT, Sun October 9, 2011
Fujifilm X10 priced and dated
Fujifilm wrapped up its week by committing to a ship date and price for the X10. Its semi-pro contract first shown last month will be on shelves in early November. It should cost $600, at the level of entry DSLRs and mirrorless interchangeables but at half the price of the flagship X100.
The design is just the second in the X series and the first to have zoom, with a non-removable, 28-112mm equivalent lens that uses barrel-mounted control for zoom. Although it uses a smaller 2/3-inch sensor versus the full DSLR-grade (APS-C) sensor from the X100, it can shoot faster, at up to seven frames per second at maximum resolution. Video also gets an upgrade with 1080p recording, and the EXR-based 12-megapixel sensor can use pixel binning to boost the light sensitivity up to ISO 12,800 by reducing the resolution of the shot.
Other controls reflect lessons learned from the X100, such as an optical viewfinder (though without the digital overlay) and built-in pop-up flash with a hot shoe for further add-ons. Control is still all physical and prioritizes features for experienced shooters, like exposure compensation and autoexposure or autofocus lock.

Watch this grotesque animation set in a retrofuturistic bomb factory
The darkly funny animated short Monsieur COK is, on its surface, a tale of workers rebelling against the greedy bomb factory owner who replaced them with robots. But its grandiose Art Deco environments, peculiar automata, and grim humor help build a world where anyone is disposable. »

Reading your bill for the Guaranteed Bill℠ plan from Georgia Natural Gas® is easy. Every month, you are billed the same Guaranteed Bill Charge, regardless of how much gas you used that month, even in the coldest months of the year!
The back of your bill shows all the normal components of your bill. Here are the unique portions of the Guaranteed Bill (Move your mouse pointer over the blue text below for an explanation of each charge):
We do not use a price per therm to calculate your bill. Your Guaranteed Bill Charge is the same every month.
This is the amount that GNG asked you to pay on your prior month's bill.
This is the amount you paid.
This is any unpaid balance that remains from your last GNG bill. If you paid GNG exactly what you were asked to pay on your last bill, this amount will be $0.
Current Gas Service Charges
This is the amount that you will be charged under the Guaranteed Bill plan. This amount includes your AGLC Base Charge and all customer service and gas charges. Sales tax and other one-time fees and charges will be listed separately. For more information on prorated bills click here.
63.60Total Current Gas Service Charges
This amount is your actual AGLC Base Charge, which are costs that are passed through directly from Atlanta Gas Light Company.
This is the amount you must pay which includes all charges and any balance brought forward if applicable.
My bill is not for the Guaranteed Amount. Why?
Several factors can change the total amount of your Guaranteed Bill. However, most variances are due to:
One time charges, such as connection fees, late payment fees, or NSF fees.
A prorated bill, due to an unusually short or long service period. Click here for more information about proration.
Sales tax.
Past due or credit balances.
If you still have questions about your bill, please contact GNG and speak to one of our customer service representatives.
Why is my bill higher in the summer than I am used to?
With the Guaranteed Bill plan, your charge does not change throughout the year. Therefore, it will be higher in the summer than you are used to. But, more importantly, it will be lower than you are used to in the winter. Even if the weather is extremely cold, your Guaranteed Bill Charge will not change.

Jan 15, 2012 - One year with this machine and I hate it. Leaves white residue all over dark clothes. Probably on light clothes, too but can't see it. I have called into help line twice, and at their urging tested water temp, switched to Tide. Also washing small loads on HOT and BULKY setting to get more water in rinse. Sometimes clothes are DRY after going through entire wash cycle! I now wash only jeans on 1 load, only shirts in another as suggested by their support person. No change... and such small loads... all on HOT with extra rinse kind of defeats the purpose of high energy. Have photos if you want.
ALABAMA -- I purchased a Maytag because I thought they never needed repairs. Well boy was I wrong! About 3 months after we purchased our washer, we started having problems. It would not complete a cycle, it would not spin out clothes, it might take hours for the cycle to finish, if it did decide to finish. That's it....called the first time, a repair person came out and ordered a part that took 3 weeks to come in. Now this is a new machine and I am having to go wash my clothes at a laundry mat because they don't have the part! This is not right!
Finally was fixed, but just for a short time. It started doing the same things again. Someone came out and fixed it, costing around $200.00. Again it worked for a few months and it has started back doing its same old stuff! Put a load on 3 days ago and it still has not spun out the water. We restarted the load numerous times and it still has not worked!!! Going tomorrow to buy yet another washing machine, but I promise you it will NOT be a MAYTAG!!! Hope this helps someone not make the same mistake that we made.
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN -- I bought the Maytag Bravos because I was told it was "top of the line" and expected that Maytag's reputation for quality would provide me with many years of dependable service without problem. Boy, was I taken for a ride! Unless you have a lot of money to spend, DO NOT buy a Maytag Bravos wash machine. After only 3.5 years of normal use (3-4 standard loads per week) and doing everything as suggested by the owner's manual, my machine has developed a bad drum bearing. The cost to repair this bearing is $400 for parts and $200 for labor… in other words, I am forced to buy a new machine after ONLY 3.5 years of use.
When I called Maytag's customer service department to question them about my problem, their response was "There are no recalls on your machine, so we cannot do anything for you." When I further questioned them about the lack of quality/dependability my machine provided, they again said "Sorry, the machine is out of the warranty period, thank you for buying Maytag." If you buy one of these wash machines, you better have the extra money to buy an extended warranty.
CALIFORNIA -- I bought the Maytag Bravos XL Washer and Dryer set from Sears 5 months ago. The first problem was the dryer was wider than the standard size, so my counter in the utility room had to be cut down. The next thing with the dryer, since it had a steam cycle, I had to have extra water lines put in for the steam. The washer and dryer have minds of their own. The person washing the clothes has a very limited choice. Sometimes after the washing there are dry spots on the clothes because there isn't enough water in the washer. I really hate the washer. It leaves a white residue on the black clothes, so after the clothes are washed, I have to brush all of this powdery stuff off.
Where does it come from? I use Tide HE detergent. I use the Hot cycle. And the sounds it makes, at first I thought they were cute, but now, not so much. The washer will make sounds when it's washing, I don't know why. The dryer makes sounds when it's drying, I don't know why. I just open it up and shift thing around, hoping to fix it. I wish I never bought this set.
BRILLION, WISCONSIN -- Press and hold the cycle signal _off low hi button when the light is off. Hold it in for about 7 or 8 seconds till you hear a noise. This works for both the washer and dryer. This fixes that annoying little tune the Maytag bravos XL makes when turning on and off! Did it on mine!
WATERFORD, MICHIGAN -- I purchased a Bravo gas dryer, it has now in 6 months nearly received the same amount of thermostats. The burner system has issues, but no one has courage to take Whirlpool on in a dispute. Whirlpool will not accept responsibility for their products. If they had been a big enough company to say,"We are sorry, let us send a new unit." I may have a better feeling. They have a feature that shows if venting is good, and yet, even when it shows that, the techs will not accept that, and claim it is a vent issue that is blowing the stats.
DO NOT PURCHASE A BRAVO XL DRYER. If you already have, do not expect Whirlpool, or Maytag to stand behind it. Whirlpool, you belong in the HALL OF SHAME!!!!
We bought a new washer and dryer in May 2011. My previous Maytag set had been so dependable that I thought it was a good idea to get Maytag again. My previous washer and dryer was 30 years old. When I bought the new Maytag set, I was told at the store not to expect this new set to last that long. However, I didn't expect the lint filter to fall apart in the first month.
The felt that borders the screen came loose, and now every time I use the dryer and clean the lint filter, I have to shove that piece back into its slot. I don't know if it can be glued back in safely since it is subjected to heat all the time; would that be a fire hazard?? I looked online to see what a new filter would cost, and I found it for $35. Ridiculous! I never replaced a lint filter in a dryer before. Is this a racket or what? Very disappointed in Maytag.
I finally went for it and bought an expensive Maytag washer and dryer. It was the new 2009 Bravo set. Very nice looking set. First of all, I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this bells and whistles on steroid technology. The washer takes virtually all choices away from the user, and determines what variables will be allowed based upon their pre-set combination. I can live with most of these pre-determined selections, but sometimes it's frustrating.
The worst thing about the washer is that it becomes unbalanced A LOT!!! Two king sheets will unbalance it. Many times it becomes unbalanced for Goodness-knows-why. I had the Maytag Repairman come and look at the washer to try to determine if there was something wrong, but he said, "No, these machines just have a tendency to become unbalanced easily."
I can't imagine this machine lasting very long. The movements it goes through to wash a load is extreme. I'm sure that parts will wear out much faster than the older models. Especially with what it goes through to "right" itself when it becomes imbalanced. The repairman told me I should have bought a front loader. Great. That made me feel really good! I don't hate this machine, but if I had known what it was really like, I would never have bought it!
Who would buy a product that the manufacture can't fix? If you like your Bravo, pray it never breaks! Is it a good dryer? I've had it for over a year and I still don't know! Countless calls to Maytag, numerous repair visits and parts replaced, still won't stay on long enough to dry clothes. It's being repaired under the original warranty and I purchased an additional 3 years. Think of the possibilities! Speed-dial to Maytag, never ending visits by the repairman. AND... four full years of wet clothes at no additional cost. Sad thing is, they are so very polite to me, while I sit and wait and wait and wait.

Knowing how to manipulate DPM by way of PowerShell can come in handy in many situations. For example, I had a case to where I was troubleshooting the DPM console that was crashing and there was a concern as to whether or not recovery points where being made for specific protection groups. Using the PowerShell command we could not only verify this, but we could create a recovery point to any protection group we wished. Another example would be if you wanted to delete some recovery points to reclaim some disk space. Recovery points cannot be deleted by the GUI so you have to use PowerShell to accomplish that goal.
This video covers how to use PowerShell to both create and delete recovery points:
