Ind. jury acquits music hall manager in 2009 fire
NASHVILLE, Ind. - The former manager of a southern Indiana concert hall has been found not guilty on charges that he set a 2009 fire that destroyed the venue.
The Herald-Times reports a Brown County jury on Friday acquitted James Bowyer of Morgantown on all charges in his arson trial. He was accused of setting the fire that destroyed the Little Nashville Opry in September 2009.
"I don't know how anyone could survive something like that. Barbs being thrown at you on a weekly and monthly basis for four years. It's not easy to take. I really want to thank the Brown County jurors because they saw the set of facts as they were and exonerated me from something I didn't have anything to do with," Bowyer said.
Prosecutors said Bowyer set the fire in hopes of collecting $3 million in insurance money because he was heavily in debt from gambling losses.
Authorities said both Bowyer and his companion, Little Nashville Opry owner Esther Hamilton, had accumulated large debts from casino gambling.
Bowyer's attorney maintained during his trial he had not been the last to leave the property the night of the fire.

We started building SourceSafe in January 1992 in the vacated dining room of the house belonging to one of my partners. Within a couple of short years SourceSafe went from concept to major success and was acquired by Microsoft in 1994, soon after which it became the most widely used version control system in the world. The thing that was truly novel about SourceSafe in the early 1990s was that it was really easy to learn and use. People tried it and just liked it. It wasn't the most powerful system around but it had what people needed and was a refreshing break from complicated command line oriented interfaces.
However SourceSafe was designed and built in the early 90's and a lot has changed since then. Technologies are different – the internet really didn't exist in a meaningful way (web browsers were in early experimentation), databases were still complicated products primarily used for enterprise mission critical data, etc; and development is a lot different – projects were much smaller and less sophisticated then. The emergence of Visual Basic in the early 90's really changed the landscape of development and brought a lot of people into the field who would have never previously considered it and made custom software a much bigger part of people's lives.
Other trends have developed and gained a great deal of momentum. Frustration with traditional ways of executing software projects, the Agile set of development methodologies have become VERY popular, bringing with them a new set of practices - unit testing, continuous integration, TDD, and more.
Right around the beginning of 2003 – almost 11 years after beginning the SourceSafe journey, I and a few other people embarked to create Team Foundation Server. The goal was to create a development team collaboration product that would meet the needs of virtually any development team for the next couple of decades. It is based on modern technologies – SQL Server, ASP.NET, Web Services, .NET, etc. And it takes a comprehensive view of the software development lifecycle, with the intent of ultimately addressing all phases and all participants.
To make sure we could handle the broadest range, we started by targeting enterprise customers and development teams with more involved development processes. The pinnacle of that has been the Microsoft Developer Division experience that I've talked so much about where we have over 3,500 regular users and terrabytes upon terrabytes of data. However, it has been our intention from the beginning to build a toolset that is attractive to teams of all sizes and all levels of process.
For smaller teams, the most common complaints about TFS 2005 were that it was expensive, difficult to install, difficult to manage and required onerous pre-reqs. We made good progress on the setup experience in TFS 2008, although most of that was oriented towards enterprise customers who needed more installation flexibility.
Fast forward now to TFS 2010…
TFS 2010 represents a huge step forward in making TFS more approachable by smaller teams. With software development technology continuing to advance and SourceSafe slowly looking older, TFS 2010 is a great opportunity for SourceSafe users to look at updating their toolset.
So what's different about TFS 2010?
There are 3 main areas that we've focused on in 2010 to make TFS attractive to smaller teams:
And that's it – TFS is installed and ready to use. There's a similarly (but not quite as) easy wizard for configuring a build server on the same machine…
All of this gives you a development system with Version Control, Bug tracking and build automation (making continuous integration a snap!). What it lacks from Standard TFS is Sharepoint and Reporting capabilities. The great thing though is that TFS "Basic" IS TFS so as your needs grow you can reconfigure it to add more capabilities.
It's a really exciting development and I hope you really like it. I encourage you to get TFS 2010 Beta 2 when it is available later this fall and give it a try.
As always, feedback is welcome!

Chip Habegger's experience in the family lumber business ignited an interest in entrepreneurship. Business-related courses at Indiana Law steered him into an in-house career at a multinational consumer products company.
Before coming to the Law School: I fulfilled a lifelong dream by working in New York City, thanks to contacts a Wabash College professor had helped me make. Then I lived in Washington, DC, where I worked for Penske Truck Leasing, before going back home to Berne, Indiana, to help out in our family's lumber business. My father's expertise is in engineering and design; I helped with the analytical side of the business.
Why I chose Indiana Law: I applied to 16 law schools, from California to Connecticut, and from Minnesota to Louisiana. My visitation day at IU clinched it for me. The people were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was collegial. That's proven to be the case throughout my three years here. If I have to miss class for a day, my friends e-mail me their notes even before I ask them to. The attitude has always been, "Here, let me help you." If a professor is meeting with a student and you're waiting in the hall, most of the time you're invited into the discussion so you and the other student can learn from each other's questions.
Favorite courses: Professor Broughman's corporate finance class was great. He used a business-school textbook, which really helped tie together business and legal principles. Professor Nagy's securities litigation class was excellent, too. She helped us see issues from the Securities and Exchange Commission's point of view, then turned the tables so we could consider our responses on behalf of the client. I participated in the Elmore Entrepreneurship Law Clinic, where we worked on real solutions for real clients. The combination of intellectual and practical experiences will be a big help to me in my job in the in-house legal department of Procter & Gamble.
On life in Bloomington: Bloomington is a place where you can become integrated into three communities: the Law School, the university, and the city itself. I play basketball every Friday with other law students, swim, and go to the rock-climbing gym—all of which have helped me meet students from other classes. Generous alumni, such as John Seddelmeyer and Milt Stewart, have made it possible for me to attend opera performances and receptions at the Art Museum. And the School's proximity to the town square has introduced me to the Bloomington arts scene.
When looking at law schools: The most important thing to keep in mind is whether you feel comfortable with atmosphere of the students at the school. You're going to be there three years, and you won't be there by yourself. Your classmates will soon become your friends and later become your network. Start building those relationships early.

5 Free RADIUS Testing and Monitoring Tools
It's good to have a RADIUS client simulator program during the configuration and troubleshooting of a RADIUS server--whether you're using NPS or IAS on a Windows Server or other AAA server. Although most servers come with their own testing tool, it's always good to have choices.
When troubleshooting a RADIUS server, it's good to have a client simulator program. These five RADIUS testing and monitoring tools can help you test the initial configuration of the server and any changes.
These tools can help you test the initial configuration of the server and when you make changes, and you can experiment with varying client configurations. You might also want a RADIUS monitoring application if you don't have some other network monitoring solution in place.
Here are five RADIUS testing and monitoring tools, all completely free.
Depending on your firewall configuration, you may have to open up UDP ports 1645 and 1646 or 1812 and 1813, depending on which set your server uses.
1. NTRadPing
NTRadPing is a free RADIUS client program offered by MasterSoft, developer of the DialWays server. It's available for Windows as a standalone or portable program that doesn't require installation. It sends packets and displays the replies on the GUI. You can select preconfigured packet types and attributes, or define your own custom ones.
|Figure 1
You can quickly input sever, user, packet and attribute details on the GUI. The RADIUS dictionary is defined in an included file and can be customized with vendor specific attributes if needed.
Once everything is set, hit send and you'll see any replies. You can easily save all the settings and load them at a later time.
NTRadPing even has a Help button that provides pertinent info.
2. RADIUS Test Rig Utility
RADIUS Test Rig Utility is a free RADIUS client utility provided by Juniper Networks, an enterprise networking vendor. It is also known simply as RadiusTest. It runs on Windows as a portable program that doesn't require installation. However, it is limited to only sending packets for authentication and accounting (PAP and CHAP).
|Figure 2
RADIUS Test Rig Utility
You input all the settings via both the configuration file and GUI. Its RADIUS dictionary is loaded with the popular vendor attributes and can be customized if needed.
After hitting Execute, you'll see the status and elapsed time for each packet. You'll also see a run-down of the overall testing statistics. Plus, you can hit the Details button to view status details and packets sent and received.
3. Radlogin (Included With FreeRADIUS)
Radlogin is a free and open source RADIUS client command-line program available in Linux and included with the open source FreeRADIUS project.
Keep in mind, this is a totally different program and project than the one offered by IEA Software and discussed next. It can send packets to a RADIUS server and display the replies at the command-line. You can send authentication, accounting, status, and disconnect packets.
You can pass the desired attributes in the command-line or point to a file. You can also specify the number of times to send the packet, number of retry times, delay between packets and timeout limit. It uses the default dictionaries included with FreeRADIUS.
4. Radlogin From IEA Software
Although it has the same name as the previous program, this is totally different. This Radlogin program is offered free by IEA Software, developer of the RadiusNT and RadiusX servers. It can run on Windows, FreeBSD, Sparc Solaris and Linux platforms.
|Figure 3
Radlogin from IEA Software
Radlogin can send authentication, accounting, and disconnect requests. But its more advanced than the other programs we've discussed so far. You can send RADIUS queries from the command line, a web-based interface or via the web service API. The dictionary supports more than 70 vendors. It even validates the RADIUS packet decodes. Status and reply details are displayed and stored for later reference.
It can also be used for load testing and even as an automated pinging and monitoring solution with uptime statistics and email/SMS alerts.
You'll find a comprehensive configuration and user PDF manual included with Radlogin.
5. RadPerf
RadPerf is provided free by Network RADIUS SARL, a FreeRADIUS consulting company headed by one of its founders, Alan DeKok. It's a command-based client program designed specifically for load-testing RADIUS servers to see if they're production-ready. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
You can load in a list of users and passwords in a CSV file, so it can generate the authentication and accounting packets at your desired rate. It can help simulate pikes in traffic, long-lived user sessions, and end-to-end user behavior.
After testing, it provide a report comparing the offered and accepted load, and gives the total accepted packets per second.

Imaging, Mapping and Modelling Continental Lithosphere Extension and Breakup
Geological Society of London, Jan 1, 2007 - Science - 482 pages
This book summarizes our present understanding of the formation of passive continental margins and their ocean-continent transitions. It outlines the geological, geophysical and petrological observations that characterize extensional systems, and how such observations can guide and constrain dynamic and kinematic models of continental lithosphere extension, break-up and the inception of organized seafloor spreading. The book focuses on imaging, mapping and modelling lithospheric extensional systems, at both the regional scale using dynamic models to the local scale of individual basins using kinematic models, with an emphasis on capturing the extensional history of the Iberia and Newfoundland margins. The results from a number of other extensional regimes are presented to provide comparisons with the North Atlantic studies; these range from the Tethyan realm and the northern Red Sea to the western and southern Australian margins, the Basin and Range Province, and the Woodlark basin of Papua New Guinea. All of these field studies, combined with lessons learnt from the modelling, are used to address fundamental questions about the extreme deformation of continental lithosphere.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. These data were collected to evaluate the effectiveness of CASAWORKS for Families (CWF), a multiservice intervention designed to move substance abusing women on welfare to sobriety and self-sufficiency by addressing their substance abuse, domestic violence, employment, and basic needs. Conducted at 11 sites across the country, the evaluation was designed as a repeated measures, pre-during-post field evaluation with no pre-specified control or comparison groups. The results of this evaluation were primarily intended to guide a proposed second-stage experimental study of the effectiveness of an enhanced and refined CWF model. When the potential participant presented herself at the CWF site, a research technician administered a specially modified version of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), referred to as the Welfare to Work ASI (WTW-ASI). This version retained the ASI 5th edition as the core instrument but added questions in an addendum. The baseline WTW-ASI measured the severity of problems in nine areas: employment, medical status, alcohol use, drug use, legal status, family and social relationships, children and child care, basic needs, and psychiatric symptoms. In addition, the four-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Parenting Dimensions Inventory (PDI), and the Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS) were used to assess depression, parenting style, and posttraumatic stress disorder, respectively. The PDI, CES-D, and a follow-up version of WTW-ASI were also administered 6 and 12 months after intake. Two instruments were used at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postbaseline to record the services provided by CWF: Welfare to Work version of the Treatment Services Review (TSR-WTW) and Case Management Review (CMR). The former mostly collected data on the number of treatment services received, such as doctor visits, therapy sessions, and days of inpatient treatment in the prior 30 days, while the latter collected data on the activities of the case management sessions and topics covered with the case managers. Activities recorded by the CMR included working on self-sufficiency plans, arrangement of follow-up services, skills development, crisis response, and advocating for the client. Topics covered included employment, substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence, parenting and child care, basic needs, life skills, and social support. In order to compare the characteristics of the CWF clients with the general population of women who received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the study also collected WTW-ASI data from women in the general TANF population in the CWF locales regardless of their substance-use status.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP) was a multisite, randomized, controlled trial of an educational intervention until three years of age for low birth weight preterm infants born in 1984-1985. There were three components to the intervention: (1) an educational program delivered through home visits (weekly during the first year and every other week during the second and third years of life), (2) a daily center-based program beginning at 12 months corrected for duration of gestation, and (3) parent support groups coinciding with the start of the center-based program. Previously, the subjects were assessed at baseline up to age 3 (Phase I), age 5 (Phase II), and age 8 (Phase III). Phase IV assessed them at age 18. This data collection contains selected variables from all four phases that were used in analyses reported in two articles by the principal investigators and others: McCormick, Marie C., Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Stephen L.

"Long-term maternal effects of early childhood intervention: Findings from the Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP)." Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology 29 (2008): 101-117. As such, the collection comprises only some of the variables that were collected for Phase IV and the other phases. The collection contains information about the children and their mothers/caregivers. Data on the children include treatment group, sex, birth weight group, and an index of neonatal health, plus indices of receptive vocabulary, intelligence, and adult-child activities at age 5, indices of intelligence, receptive vocabulary, reading ability, math ability, and behavioural problems and competencies at ages 8 and 18, and indices of risk behaviors, physical health, future expectations, and engagement towards school at age 18. Information about the mothers/caregivers includes maternal age and mother's race, as well as educational achievement at baseline and ages 5, 8, and 18; smoking at ages 5 and 18; measures of employment, physical health, and mental health at ages 5, 8, and 18; indices of parenting style, educational aspirations for the child, and yelling frequency at the child at ages 8 and 18; and indices of connectedness to the community and involvement with the child's school at age 18.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The objective of the SUPPORT and HELP projects was to improve decision-making in order to address the growing national concern over the loss of control that patients have near the end of life and to reduce the frequency of a mechanical, painful, and prolonged process of dying. SUPPORT comprised a two-year prospective observational study (Phase I) followed by a two-year controlled clinical trial (Phase II). Phase I of SUPPORT collected data from patients accessioned during 1989-1991 to characterize the care, treatment preferences, and patterns of decision-making among critically ill patients. It also served as a preliminary step for devising an intervention strategy for improving critically-ill patients' care and for the construction of statistical models for predicting patient prognosis and functional status. An intervention was implemented in Phase II of SUPPORT, which accessioned patients during 1992-1994. The Phase II intervention provided physicians with accurate predictive information on future functional ability, survival probability to six months, and patients' preferences for end-of-life care. Additionally, a skilled nurse was provided as part of the intervention to elicit patient preferences, provide prognoses, enhance understanding, enable palliative care, and facilitate advance planning. The intervention was expected to increase communication, resulting in earlier decisions to have orders against resuscitation, decrease time that patients spent in undesirable states (e.g., in the Intensive Care Unit, on a ventilator, and in a coma), increase physician understanding of patients' preferences for care, decrease patient pain, and decrease hospital resource use. Data collection in both phases of SUPPORT consisted of questionnaires administered to patients, their surrogates, and physicians, plus chart reviews for abstracting clinical, treatment, and decision information. Phase II also collected information regarding the implementation of the intervention, such as patient-specific logs maintained by nurses assigned to patients as part of the intervention. SUPPORT patients were followed for six months after inclusion in the study. Those who did not die within six months or were lost to follow-up were matched against the National Death Index to identify deaths through 1997. The HELP study was conducted in 1993 concomitantly with Phase II of SUPPORT and collected data to characterize the care, treatment preferences, and patterns of decision-making among hospitalized patients who were at least 80 years old. HELP data were also intended for use in adapting existing mortality and functional status models of elderly hospitalized patients. Data collection methods of HELP were essentially the same as those of SUPPORT. HELP patients were followed for 12 months after inclusion in the study. Patients who did not die within one year or were lost to follow-up were matched against the National Death Index to identify deaths through 1997.

Chapter 2- Is that your name?
"This is her."
I took in the appearance of the small girl with curly brown hair. She looked to be about 13 or maybe 14. Dressed in a pair of my clothes which were a size to big.
"What's her name?" I ask.
"I don't know." Lana says softly. "She won't speak. The police tried to get her to talk when she showed up last night but she won't. Social services is coming to identify her this afternoon, if possible."
"Why is she here?" I ask my aunt.
"Nobody knew a good, safe place for her to stay for the night and since she showed up here I volunteered.
I nod. "That makes sense."
"I was thinking. You're about her age. Maybe she would respond to you. Would you try?"
I nod again.
I grab an apple before I leave the living room. As I sit down, and bite into the apple the girl squeezes her eyes shut and cringes.
"I'm Amelia. Amelia Raymore. What's your name?"
She stares at her hands.
"I'm 15 but in two months I'm going to be 16. How old are you?"
"My birthday's in October but-"
Just then my dog scurried in and jumped unto the couch.
"Lizzie!" I order, "Off the furniture, now!"
The girl jumps. Something sparks in her eyes when I say Lizzie.
"Lizzie. Is that your name?"
She doesn't answer. But if it isn't her name it means something to her. I had seen the glimmer in her eye.
"What did social services find out?" Alex asks me.
Alex is my best friend and Lana's neighbor.
"Her name is Elizabeth Cymbal. She was abducted from her home along with her sister Addie. Another girl named Leah Sloan was the one who identified her."
In a weird way I had been pleased to find the girl's name was Elizabeth. That meant Lizzie was probably her nickname.
"Leah Sloan?" Alex puzzled. "That sounds familiar."
"That's the girl who went missing for a month. When she showed up someone had carved messages into her back. It was all over the newspapers."
"That's sick."
"I know."
"So," Alex asked, "What about her sister?"
"When Elizabeth showed up she was dragging her dead sister behind her."
Alex looked at me shocked. It was a lot to take in.
"So what about her parents?"
"Gone, and nobody knows where they went."
"Wow, so what are we doing?"
I had forced Alex to come with me. I didn't want to trek through death mountain by myself. We were walking through the crusty snow out in the middle of nowhere.
"She had to have walked from somewhere. Lana says when they showed up they were coated in ice as though they had been in water. My best bet is they came from a lake. The only lake out here is Green Lake. So…" I trailed off.
We walked for 20 minutes until we reached the lake. The lake was bumpy and full of breaks and ridges. The frigid air seemed completely still. Eerie I thought.
We neared the edge and that's when I saw him, facedown on the ice.

The Woods Hole Research Center has just released a new high-resolution data set for the conterminous United States for canopy height, aboveground biomass, and carbon stock for all forests and woodlands. The National Biomass and Carbon Dataset (NBCD) provides forest attributes at a 30 m resolution, with digital raster data now freely accessible.
Researchers divided the 48 states into 66 ecoregional mapping zones, and compiled spatial data from NASA space-borne imagery (SRTM/Landsat-7), land use/land cover information (NLCD 2001), topographic survey data (NED), and extensive forest inventory data (FIA). This data, along with fieldwork observations, was then analyzed to generate the canopy height, aboveground biomass, and carbon stock maps, which were then joined to form national-scale products.
The project was initiated in 2005 with funding from NASA's Terrestrial Ecology Program as well as support from the USGS/LANDFIRE consortium. Collaborators included the U.S. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program, and the National Land Cover Database (NLCD 2001) and National Elevation Dataset (NED) project teams at the USGS EROS Data Center.

Runs on Dunkin.
Washington and Florida Democrats took the unusual step of endorsing an independent candidate for Florida's 13th Congressional District at the last minute on the filing deadline day. Now they have egg on their faces after independent Ed Jany, a registered Democrat, surprisingly dropped out of the race Tuesday, again draining Democratic hopes of challenging GOP Rep. David Jolly in a Tampa-area swing seat.
Jany, in a statement to The Tampa Bay Times (which first reported the news), said he "wrongly assumed" he could handle his professional workload during a political campaign.
Just two months ago, Democrats may have been slightly favored to capture the seat held for decades by the late Rep. Bill Young, who died late last year. But despite fielding former gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink, a fundraising dynamo who came into the race with high name recognition and benefited from millions of dollars in outside group spending, the party suffered a narrow defeat in the March special election against Republican David Jolly.
It's only gotten worse from there. Sink declined to run again in the fall despite a concerted recruitment effort, leaving the party to turn to Jany, a former Republican who had to run as an independent because, under Florida law, he hadn't been registered as a Democrat long enough. In an effort to help Jany, party leaders pressured local NAACP chapter President Manuel Sykes, a Democrat, to drop out of the race, leaving no one on the party line.
Now Democrats don't have Jany either, and those they pushed out the way on his behalf don't sound eager to jump back into the race.
Jany's departure from the contest leaves Democrats with few options in a district that now looks increasingly secure for the GOP. Sykes told National Journal he is unlikely to get back in the race because of how the Pinellas County Democratic Party treated him when asking him to drop out. County Party Chairman Mark Hanisee, he said, left him a voicemail saying he would be "persona non grata" if he stayed in the race.
"I don't want to get mixed up with party leadership," Sykes said. "Even if they smile at me, I know it's not sincere. I don't feel comfortable."
Democrats have "a snowball's chance" of winning the seat now, Sykes added. "It's an adventure. It's really a laughable situation."

So I signed up today as after Christmas I've found it hard to stay on the rails.
Happily, I've lost at least 1.5lbs every week since joining Slimming World in August which I'm proud of. Problem is, I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, and I know that now that I've dabbled in nice food (a little bit) and drink (a lot of) over Christmas, it's hard to shake the habit.
I want to be at my target for my 29th birthday in August which I know would be easy if I had the same determination as I had when I joined. The only problem is, with weight loss comes self-esteem boosts. With self-esteem boosts comes going out, getting drunk etc, etc.
I lost a lot of weight previously but never quite finished he journey. This time I am determined to do so, but feel I need help in doing so, so here I am.
Any advice or encouragement appreciated.

'Nzimande's record is there to see'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - The South African Communist Party (SACP) on Tuesday denied reports that its general secretary Blade Nzimande was a former IFP member.
"Occasionally, in the run-up to major congresses of our organisations, this allegation and others are thrown up with an intention to tarnish the name of the general secretary of the SACP," spokesperson Malesela Maleka said in a statement on Tuesday. He was referring to the ANC's upcoming policy and elective conferences.
"Comrade Blade's record of struggle is there for all to see."
The SACP was reacting to a report on Sunday that African National Congress national executive committee (NEC) member Tony Yengeni and Nzimande became involved in an argument at a NEC meeting last week.
According to unnamed eyewitnesses at the meeting, the men were having a debate about former ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema's expulsion from the ruling party.
President Jacob Zuma's representative in Parliament, Siphiwe Nyanda, reportedly told the meeting that people could not speak freely because they felt they were under a dictatorship. Nzimande objected to this.
Yengeni took issue with Nzimande and told him that he "doesn't know the ANC and its traditions because he's originally from the IFP", according to the Sunday World.
Maleka said the only way Nzimande could be isolated was by associating him with the Inkatha Freedom Party.
"The absurdity of this claim is also in its tribalistic undertones, building on (IFP leader Mangosuthu) Buthelezi's and the apartheid regime's claims in the 1970s and 1980s that all Zulus were members of Inkatha.
"It is a repeat of the same script, because Nzimande is Zulu, therefore he was Inkatha. No shred of evidence has ever been produced to support this ludicrous claim," Maleka said.
The IFP said the SACP should not drag its name into the ANC's internal battles.
"Maleka must not drag the IFP into the internal ANC battles which threaten the future of his general secretary. His duty is to convince his comrades within the ANC about Dr Blade Nzimande's often-questioned struggle credentials," spokesperson Joshua Mazibuko said.
He said Maleka needed to produce evidence to support his claims or issue a public apology to Buthelezi and the IFP. - Sapa

Incorporating energy efficiency and renewable energy can help businesses across all sectors in New York become more profitable.
Working together in various communities, New Yorkers can create a better energy future and help the economy grow.
New Yorkers can make their homes more comfortable and cut energy costs.
Talent, innovation, and unique resources available in New York make it a premier place for clean energy businesses to grow.
New York welcomes the new, innovative ideas that will inform policy, protect the environment, and power the future.
July 23, 2014
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that $3.3 million has been awarded to seven research teams to develop technologies that add resiliency and efficiency to New York State's electric grid. These "smart grid" technologies will use innovative methods to enhance grid performance, reduce the risk of power outages and lessen environmental impacts and energy consumption, all while reducing the cost of power delivery.
"As we continue to witness the impacts of extreme weather, it is more important than ever to invest in making our energy infrastructure stronger and smarter," said Governor Cuomo. "These projects will improve grid resiliency, strengthen utility performance and make the delivery of energy more efficient. By investing in these seven smart grids, we are further readying the State for the new reality of severe weather, and ensuring that the work we do today will mean fewer power outages and more deliberate energy consumption in the future."
The projects were awarded support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Smart Grid Program. A smart grid is a modernized electrical grid that uses technology to gather and act on information in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity.
In order to qualify for funding, award recipients proposed projects that improve the reliability, efficiency, quality and overall performance of the electric power delivery system in New York State. Proposals were required to demonstrate significant statewide public benefit and quantify all energy, environmental and economic impacts. Developing smart grids is part of the New York State Public Service Commission's Renewable Energy Vision (REV), which calls for identifying smart grid technologies to facilitate increased distributed power generation to promote electricity load management and greater system efficiency.
"These innovative approaches to smart grids are important steps forward in making our electric grid more efficient, reliable, resilient and clean," said John B. Rhodes, President and CEO, NYSERDA. "They are also powerful examples of New York State's drive under Governor Cuomo's leadership to transform the way electricity is valued, generated, distributed and consumed in New York State, and a key building block for the State's Reforming Energy Vision for the State's electric system."
Projects receiving a total of $3.3 million in support include:
Using a computer model, Brookhaven will join with Electrical Distribution Design, Orange and Rockland Utility and Central Hudson Gas & Electric to create a program that can enhance storm model predictions and the expected responses through the use of radar storm data. The result: greater preparation and quicker attention to damage at lower cost. Storm damage estimates on a localized basis would become possible, allowing better understanding of storm impacts on certain areas. This, in turn, could add to improved resiliency in areas more subject to localized storm damage.
NYSERDA is partnering with Clarkson University, National Grid, General Electric, SUNY Potsdam and other local businesses to plan and design a large microgrid system to generate electricity for a number of entities in the Village of Potsdam. The power system would supply electricity to Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam, along with Canton-Potsdam Hospital and National Grid's Potsdam Service Center. The region has been particularly susceptible to power outages due to winter storms and flooding, and the underground system would provide a localized source of power that would be more energy-efficient and resilient.
Working with Con Edison, ClearGrid Innovations seeks to create a system of computer algorithms to recognize potential problems on the state electrical grid to improve response time. These include problems related to trees near lines, damage to poles and other infrastructure problems. The program will use 3-D imagery to create an algorithm to allow a quick comparison of normal and damaged lines. By using smart phone photos sent in by witnesses of damage, the utility will quickly be able to determine where immediate attention is needed, reducing delays and unnecessary visits for false alarms.
Con Edison will partner with Pareto Energy and GE to investigate the use of Pareto's GridLink technology to connect the Kings Plaza Shopping Mall in Brooklyn to Con Edison's electrical networks for the purpose of selling excess power into the distribution grid and providing a variety of support services. The exportation of power during grid outages would provide electricity to specific places in the community, such as to gas stations, supermarkets, hotels or other vital services. The mall, which is already set up to function as a place of refuge during emergencies, could also provide power to other places of refuge in the area for medical services, warming during a dangerous cold spell or cooling during a heat wave, and other community support.
Cornell University will study the potential of several innovative improvements to an existing campus microgrid. Sophisticated modeling will be used to explore ways to improve campus heating, cooling and electric generation by integrating smart building controls and adding on-site renewable energy sources and energy storage. The resulting configurations are expected to improve energy efficiency and reliability, demonstrating how distributed energy resources can be combined on a large campus. The system would be an integral part of Cornell's Climate Action Plan, which calls for university operations to be "climate neutral" by 2050.
Lockheed Martin of Owego seeks to develop and demonstrate a computer technology that combines aerial data with an analytics system to immediately locate power outages or line damage after a major storm. The technology would allow utilities to accurately assess damage, distribute resources to the right place and resume normal operations quickly and efficiently. If demonstrated successfully in New York, this program could be expanded to include other utility-based applications to further promote efficiency and resiliency. It could also help grow jobs in the company's Owego facility. This project will be tested in New York State Electric and Gas Company's (NYSEG) territory in Brewster.
With microgrids growing increasingly popular among businesses, universities, hospitals and other large entities, the technology is a concern for local utilities -- the added on-site power could cause power quality issues that could affect end-users on the same line. RIT seeks to improve energy grid flexibility by increasing the allowable "microgrid density." RIT would develop controls for microgrids to effectively allow the cooperation between utilities and microgrids. For instance, it would take into account all power generated from distributed generation, energy storage, utilities and other sources without any power quality issues to customers.
With this latest initiative, New York's role as a leader and first mover in shaping the future of energy remains firmly in place. By developing innovative market solutions, the State is delivering on Governor Cuomo's commitment to transform the energy industry into a more resilient, clean, cost-effective and dynamic system. Working with State, citizen and industry stakeholders, the way of doing business in New York is moving to a more market-based, decentralized approach. This means preserving the environment, decreasing energy costs, and creating opportunities for economic growth for current and future generations of New Yorkers. In advancing these new energy systems and solutions, New Yorkers will have improved energy affordability and efficiency without sacrificing the ability to live in a cleaner, resilient and more sustainable environment.

SDIC's domestic industrial investment mainly goes to power generation, coal mining, ports and shipping, fertilizer production and other infrastructure or resource-oriented fields as well as burgeoning industries of strategic significance. In the financial service and other services sector, SDIC focuses on finance, venture capital, engineering service, consulting service, aged care and assets management, etc. SDIC's international business includes outbound investment, international trade and international cooperation. SDIC is playing its unique role in promoting Chinese national economic development.
With twenty years' practices, SDIC has gradually formed its unique operation model of "Equity investment--Equity management--Equity operation", and of an integrated development incorporating capital operation and assets operation. Typically, SDIC will acquire target enterprises' equity through capital investment, increase these enterprises' value through management, and gain returns from equity transfer premiums and dividends.

These listed companies have built good SDIC brand name in Chinese capital market.
In the future, SDIC will persist in its tenet of "working for Shareholders, for Society and for Employees", further adjust its investment portfolio and development pace and strengthen management, according to its Three-year Plan and Eight-year Blueprint. With the strong ambition of becoming a world-class investment holding company, SDIC will actively transfer its operation from domestic to abroad, from traditional industries to emerging industries, from western China to east, central and western China, from general industry to unique industry, from self-oriented to market-oriented, and from assets operation to capital operation.

The stranger, known only as "Trick," shows Jack images on a computer screen of Jack's estranged wife and her lover trapped inside an air-tight wooden box. Trick gives Jack an ultimatum; get him a large sum of money within 75 minutes, or else the couple suffocates inside the box. A dangerous battle of wits ensues as Jack races against the clock to get the money and save his wife, while avoiding the detectives now on his trail. Will he make it in time?

No China Telecom iPhone until 2012, says UBS
updated 10:45 am EDT, Mon October 31, 2011
May have to wait until next-gen iPhone
A China Telecom iPhone will probably have to wait until 2012, says UBS' Jinjin Wang. The analyst quotes checks with value chain suppliers, which allegedly point to a launch no earlier than February or March of 2012. The phone could come out as late mid-2012, Wang suggests. If so, the timing could mean that there will be no Telecom iPhone until Apple launches a next-generation device, although that would also assume the company plans to return to a summer release schedule.
The only official Chinese iPhone carrier at the moment is China Unicom. The iPhone 4S, though, is not yet available in China in any form; multiple reports pointed to the prospect of the 4S launching in the region at the same time as the US, but even in a recent 22-country expansion, China was not included. To support China Telecom Apple will have to build another CDMA variant of the iPhone, in the same manner as it has for Sprint and Verizon.

The little area now on the reviews that is the comment box is like FB. Tiny little space which makes it hard to edit for typos. Hardly room for two lines to be seen at once. GGrrrr....please add more room.
------"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
--Dalai Lama
I have sewing machines
Muffet, out of interest are you using an iPad or a tablet? I ask because I have noticed the comment box when using my iPad is itsy-bitsy but on my computer the same box is much larger.
I'd also like to see the comment box a lot larger for mobile devices.
------Belinda. Melbourne, Australia
Nope. I am using Chrome on a Win7 machine as well as my iMac desktop at hope - large display - no other anomalies. Weird tiny little box.It used to be a large box?!
Can you enlarge the comment box? I'm using Firefox on a Mac and there's a little diagonal thingie on the bottom right corner of the box where if I hover over it with my mouse I can drag the box bigger. I suspect that this is browser-related - you might try IE (yikes, but PR is a really old site design-wise) or Firefox and see if that fixes things.

Oh boy - now I really feel stupid - NOW I do see the corner and I realize you are so right. WHY didn't I notice that?! No idea...and I still am in Chrome. Thanks so much. Geez....that's the kind of thing I pride myself on being able to help other people with and again I think you!
oh man, count me in with the 'feeling stupid' - I noticed the smaller box but NEVER noticed the arrow !
There is always something to be thankful for.
I am in control of my reactions !
I had also not noticed the drag lines in the corner of the comment box. I didn't know if running Chrome on Win7 has anything to do with it, but I do know the Windows trick for [most?] browsers: the Control key and the Plus sign to make print bigger. The minus sign would make it smaller.
------from Daytona Beach, FL
Yay, I was helpful! Don't feel dumb, y'all, I think I found that feature by accident once when I was trying to do something else.
(FYI, text boxes didn't use to be resizeable, and they still might not be on some sites and on some browsers, but I think most modern browsers allow it.)
My comment box is tiny too...it use to be bigger but I don't have an option to make it bigger. I just checked...unless I have to start typing to activate it. hmmm
------Laurie Lou
I complained about this sometime ago on the Bugs/Errors site and never got a response. You can use the up/down arrows, but I would prefer a box a bit bigger so I could see more of my comment, instead of one line at a time.

House Republicans began laying groundwork Wednesday for a court challenge to a new House legislative redistricting plan - even before the measure passed on a largely party-line vote.
Republicans argued vociferously that the plan devised by House Speaker Greg Stumbo violates the Kentucky Constitution because it divides too many counties and therefore doesn't comply with a provision that prohibits splitting those counties that have fewer residents than an average House District.
Republican Floor Leader Jeff Hoover, of Jamestown, said the House Republicans are reviewing their ...

AT&T's Inspire 4G gets HSUPA Blessing from FCC
The above image may not look like much to you, but it is a telling document that Engadget has gotten their hands on. Telling in the fact that it is confirming that AT&T has gotten the FCC's blessing to turn on the HSUPA function on the Inspire 4G. The Inspire 4G's HSUPA capability was disabled on launch, but if the above document has any merit, it looks like that will change fairly soon. More info as it comes in.

Resolution: standard / high
Figure 2.
Chronic inflammatory infiltrate in B6 mice with collagen-induced arthritis. Histological assessment of arthritis was carried out in early arthritis (up to 2 weeks after onset, n = 8) and late arthritis (6 to 8 weeks after onset, n = 8). (a) Severe joint destruction with massive accumulation of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) was observed in DBA/1 in early arthritis. (b) In B6 mice, the infiltrating cells were predominantly mononuclear in early arthritis and there was less joint erosion. (c) In late arthritis, the inflammatory response largely resolved in DBA/1 mice, although the joint destruction was not reversed. (d) The inflammatory response remained active in B6 mice in late arthritis and there was progressive joint erosion. Original magnification, × 100. (e) The numbers of joints showing foci of inflammatory cells (lymphocytes and PMNs) in the joint were compared in early and late arthritis. **P < 0.01.

I got my Springfield mainly to go to the 145th of Gettysburg; otherwise, I belong to an artillery unit, and only need it when we occasionally do infantry....For my purposes, it is a pretty good gun and marked decently.....If you know more about "de-farbed" rifles than I do (and I bet you do!) it's possible you'd look at mine and not like it. On the other hand, not being an expert myself, it may serve your needs......

You always remember the comebacks in basketball. The moments when the impossible become a dream in a matter of seconds.
Think Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks. Or Mario Chalmers and Kansas vs. Memphis to win the NCAA Tournament title. Or this high school player who recently scored 11 points in 46 seconds http://deadspin.com/5160247/how-to-
The CBSSports.com Men's Basketball Team had one of those moments Tuesday night in our championship game at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton, FL. While it wasn't as vital as any of those other games, it was a night we will never forget.
First, the players. From CBSSports.com we have coach Corey Guerrera, Ryan Simmons, Chris Woodruff, Adam Wayne and myself. There also are former employees David Gonos, Danny Kadoche and Brett Tresky and friends Jason Garcia and John Hett.
Our team has never played to its talent level, so we ended up in the "B" playoffs. Hett called our division the "WNBA" of the league while we were watching the "A" championship before our game. Woodruff said we were "more like the WNBA D-League."
Still, we won our first playoff game before advancing to the finals. We finished the regular season at 3-7, but in two seasons we are 3-1 in the playoffs, so we come up big when it matters most. That happened Tuesday.
We played Blue Chips, which had beaten us earlier in the year and re-defined poor sportsmanship. One of their players started a fight with Kadoche during the season, and Tuesday the same guy stuck his middle finger at our bench when he made a free throw.
Blue Chips was ahead 46-42 with under a minute when the magic started. Simmons hit a three-pointer -- his first of the season.
At halftime, Simmons was shooting threes and hit three in a row. Gonos said to him "save it" for the second half, and Simmons did.
After Simmons hit the shot, he ran back and stole the ball and passed it to Woodruff. Simmons yelled "shoot it, Woodruff, shoot it." Nothing but net.
You never know when something like is going to happen, and the other team was stunned. Our team went into total euphoria.
I know, it's kind of pathetic for grown men to get over-excited about winning the lower division of a rec league, but we have been parading the trophy around the office. Hey, we're entitled to our Al Bundy moment.
After all, this is what sports is all about.

ExeterŌĆÖs emergency preparedness Stefan Coutoulakis is crediting the lessons of Tropical Storm Irene with his communityŌĆÖs willingness to thoroughly prepare for Hurricane Sandy.

PROVIDENCE—The Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) continued its decision on October 22 regarding the future development of a neighborhood on the Native American site behind Salt Pond Plaza in Narragansett. . The developer, Downing/Salt Pond Partners, has been attempting to complete their 67-acre housing project behind Salt Pond Plaza since 1992 and subsequently encountered delays when the archaeological site, dated to the 1300s, was discovered.
Just in time for Halloween, Hurricane Sandy, dubbed by many as "Frankenstorm," wreaked havoc on Charlestown, Richmond, Hopkinton and the whole of Rhode Island.
Southern Rhode Island felt the brunt of the storm, as many were still without power Wednesday afternoon.
"As of right now, about 65 percent of the town is without power," said Ron MacDonald, Hopkinton's Emergency Management director.
NARRAGANSETT—The Coastal Resources Management Council and Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management will have much work to do in the upcoming days after Hurricane Sandy. From insurance claims to rebuilding the coastline, both state agencies will be assessing damages and communicating with local governments regarding areas such as Matunuck Beach and the Narragansett Pier area.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—As of Thursday morning, power remained out for the businesses and properties along Main Street and High Street in downtown Wakefield. While National Grid has been working throughout the day and night hours to restore power, business owners have been doing their best to preserve product and cope with the issues associated with a prolonged power outage.
WESTERLY—Governor Lincoln Chafee addressed the media Tuesday afternoon after taking a tour of the towns on Rhode Island's southern coast hit by Hurricane Sandy. Having visited Narragansett Pier in the morning, Chafee then traveled to assess the damage at locations such as the Charlestown Breach way and Misquamicut Beach.

Man Accused of Misusing Power of Attorney

The man allegedly misused his power of attorney to take $120,000 from two Curwensville women. In addition, he allegedly forged one victim's signature to secure the funds. Afterward, the man used the funds to pay off debt.
State police said the incident remains under investigation with assistance from the Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging Inc. Charges are currently pending further investigation.

This site was created with the intention to introduce this little gem of Liguria, which divides the Golfo del Tigullio from the Golfo Paradiso, simply by sharing our experiences on the "Monte di Portofino" along its paths, also off the beaten path.
Leaving the most competent people and sites specific knowledge about the flora, fauna and history, we just describe in a simple and clear (at least we try) the main characteristics of the various paths and to suggest some particularly interesting itineraries. All descriptions of the paths and their travel times relate to our personal experience.
The site is constantly updated and in future also propose some paths that wind through the hills surrounding the town of Portofino Promontory and we believe that just as charming.
The Park of Portofino is a peaceful oasis where you can walk completely immersed in nature, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Beauty is priceless, to appear, as they descend from the summit, the picturesque fishing villages overlooking the Golfo Paradiso and Tigullio. From the colorful houses of Camogli to famous VIP square of Portofino, from the rocky Punta Chiappa to elegant Santa Margherita Ligure, from unmistakable Paraggi turquoise sea to little bay of San Fruttuoso di Camogli.
The many paths through the Monte di Portofino differ in length and difficulty making it possible for anyone to access it by choosing, according to their capacity, a simple and short walk or a more challenging path.
Domenica 1 febbraio torna...
Chiusura per manutenzione del Castello...
Novità nell'area di Semaforo...
There are not new paths now.
