Re: What would a half-Andorian, half-Vulcan child look like?
Mammalian or something close. That's one advantage of the therapsid theory--some therapsids in Earth's prehistory may well have given live birth, and if they did, would have had a need to nurse their young. Even if the earlier ones didn't, or evolution didn't go
that far on Earth, it's very easy to imagine it going just a step further while still retaining other characteristics (like the scales) that might seem a bit more reptile-like, especially if their planet's climate is making it less necessary to evolve some of the things that mammals tend to have on Earth (like having fur cover their entire bodies).
Though one interesting observation--and I mean this in all seriousness. Cardassian armor, which is worn by both men and women, would seem to indicate that among Cardassian women, perhaps breasts don't tend to get as large as among some human women. (Either that or women bind themselves to be in uniform, which would be damn uncomfortable, but I knew someone in college who HAD to, because she was in Navy ROTC and it would have felt even worse to her not to when she ran or did other PT activities.) Notice that neither Natima Lang AND Iliana Ghemor had obnoxiously-sized breasts--very average, reasonable, and in proportion. True, we don't have a LOT of Cardassian women to compare, but I have to think that for Gul Ocett to wear the uniform she did, she couldn't have been that busty.

How do you turn a fine, upstanding, conscientious and goal-driven young man into a terrorist?
By fiat.
That is, by treating him like a terrorist.
That is, treating him very badly. Drop the whole weight of the law on him . . . for holding the wrong opinions.
What opinions? you ask. Revolutionary Islam? White supremacism? Armed revolution?
No. Self-defense.
And now you may have figured out the problem.
The hatred of self-defense, the absolute fear of it — the quivering, poltroonish over-reaction to the very idea — is common amongst today's politicians, educators and even some benighted, cowardly law enforcement folks. It's gone to the crazed demonization of weaponry, zero tolerance against owning and carrying "arms" — despite the Second Amendment.
How crazy? Ask Jordan Wiser.
This 18-year-old is set to be prosecuted for a Class 5 felony for having a pocket knife in his EMT vest, a stun gun in his car's glove box, and a couple of sporty Airsoft (gaming) guns in his trunk. (Early reports suggest that it was the pocket knife that did it. Carrying a weapon. . . ! dontcha know.) All these were discovered after a probably illegal (and definitely unjust) search of his car by the high school principal and vice principal at the tech school he attended in (get this) Jefferson, Ohio. These two had been alerted to his pro-self-defense videos on YouTube, and they sprang into hysterical action.
Mr. Wiser spent thirteen days in jail. Prosecutors are intent on prosecuting, reiterating their bureaucratic point that they must uphold the law. Even if common sense screams out against it. And one judge joined the freak-out by having weapons taken out of the family home and sent to the lad's dying grandfather, whom the accused is now not allowed to see . . . because of the guns now there.
The problem is easy to identify. It's the rejection of the philosophical foundation of a free society. The state gains its right to govern based on our rights to defend ourselves. And we don't give up those rights by being within a state's boundaries — we surrender only our right to retaliate.
It would be easy to blame liberal-progressives, with their advanced and decadent state-worship. But conservatives have contributed to this statist degradation of republican doctrine, too, by pushing the zero tolerance stance.
One thing leads to another.
That's how freedom is lost. We're all victims, though Mr. Wiser is bearing the brunt of the tyranny.

This charming Quartier Latin bistro with woodwork and murals dating from 1925 is always packed and boisterous. A glance at chef Arnaud Vansanten's €41 set menu—a bargain €28 at lunch for three courses—makes it easy to understand why. Dishes such as chestnut soup with spice bread, squid with chorizo and creamy quinoa, and quince Tatin (upside-down tart) with mascarpone and pink pralines put a fresh twist on French classics, and service is reliably courteous. Bread is made on the premises, and if you don't finish your bottle of wine you can take it with you to savor the last drops.

Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough Knife In The Water with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis, starring Catherine Deneuve as Carole, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up over the course of a terrifying weekend. Left alone by her vacationing sister in their London flat, Carole is haunted by specters real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent pitch. Thanks to its unforgettable attention to disturbing detail and Polanski's unparalleled adeptness at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion remains one of cinema's most shocking psychological thrillers.

Sorry about the catchy title, but I wanted to clarify why the planning component of Performance Point Server in turn depends on SQL Server Enterprise edition.
I pointed out in my recent TechNet presentations that Performance Point doesn't make use of the cube write-back feature of analysis services, which is one of the extra features in enterprise edition. Well I have done some digging around and it does and doesn't use cube write-back.
One of the main problems with cube write-back in SQL Server is that although the write -back itself is fast query performance degrades and more and more writes are done to the cube. So Performance Point only uses write back to do what if analysis i.e. when changes are submitted to a model they are then written back to the database which then refreshes the cube.
To get this new plan data into the cube Performance Point uses another Enterprise only feature of analysis services, pro-active caching. This is where the cube is automatically updated when the underlying data is changed.
So hopefully that clears up the confusion between what my good friend Ben Tamblyn and I have been saying about write-back.
Nice post Andrew, thanks for clearing that up.
hi andrew,
i want to know which version of sql server will be suitable for PPS to work. whether evaluation version or express edition or anything.
drop me an e-mail and I'll reply off line (firstname.lastname@example.com)
"PPS" works well with MS SQL Server 2005 with installed SP2.
"PPS with SP1" works with MS SQL Server 2008 also (non-production use only).
Very good post Andrew.
Regarding the pro active caching, I have noticed that it is not enabled on PPS-P created cubes (models). Only "MOLAP" is selected for partitions.
Would you have more information on that?
Thanks again for this very interesting post!
I also noticed that Proactive caching is not enabled on any of the MOLAP partitions that are created. Where can we find more information on this?
Chris. Is the performance of performance point your concern? PPS is a product so I wouldn't recommend changing how it's configured underneath, just wait for the service pack and make recommendations on connect. Do e-mail me (email@example.com) if you have specific issues and I will pass them on.
Nice Article ..

Mining companies in Ghana, Africa's second-largest gold producer, are reviewing expansion plans and investments as talks with the government over plans to boost taxes, the Ghana Chamber of Mines said.
"Most of the companies have adopted a wait-and-see attitude," said Toni Aubynn, chief executive officer of the group, in an interview yesterday in Accra, the capital. "Some companies said they are facing difficulty with their boards approving funds for further investment and expansion."
Finance Minister Kwabena Duffuor in November raised the corporate-tax rate on mining companies to 35 percent from 25 percent and introduced a windfall tax of 10 percent in the West Africa nation's budget statement for 2012.
In December, Gold Fields Ltd. (GFI) said Ghana's tax plan could force it to halt expansion plans and on Feb. 17, Chief Executive Officer Nick Holland said the company is "cautiously optimistic" on achieving a "win-win situation" for the government and miners. Producers including AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU) and Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM) also operate in Ghana.
"If investors fail to put in money to expand their projects or start new ones then going forward there will be fewer producing mines" and the industry won't be able to create jobs, Aubynn said.
Ghana relies on gold, oil and cocoa for most of its export income.
The planned policy is not "anti-investment," Deputy Finance Minister Seth Terkper said by phone yesterday. "Ghana still has some incentives that make the sector attractive to investors."
The chamber is holding talks with the government about the planned tariff increases, Aubynn said.
"Our people are well informed and know that the windfall tax had worked perfectly in other places too," said Terkper.

The fact that you get income from your photography is unimportant. I'm a pro too...meaning, I expect and strive for professional results. What you mean is you're a commercial photographer I suppose. We all want and expect the best in our photography.
Front element stuff often times has no effect on images, assuming there's a proper hood on the lens. I once had a Nikon 35 70 2.8 lens w/ deep and numerous scratches on the front and never saw any issues whatsoever. Some of the scratches were more like deep gouges, and I filled them in w/ black paint. Stuff on the rear can be an issue. More damning is haze or fungus. That's where you'll get flare and/or image degradation like a softening of the image.
The only times I'll use a filter is for B&W, and that's all I shoot. Everything goes into a darkroom, so there's no post processing of issues in software. I use yellow, orange, that sort of thing. One of my best shots was ruined by flare from a UV filter, and it was a Leica filter w/ a more than adequate hood. Anytime you screw a piece of glass on the front of a lens you risk flare.

New Year, New Self-Control
Posted By Jen Wilkin On January 1, 2013 @ 10:00 PM In Christian Living | 22 Comments
A new year is upon us, and unless this one is much different from others, our conversations will be laden with talk of fitness goals and holiday diet missteps. The new year is traditionally a time for resurrecting our self-control, so this is no surprise. But this new year I have a different form of self-discipline in view—one with potentially longer-lasting effect than dropping a dress size.
Last year about this time I came across an article [2] showing ads from the 1930s and 40s selling products to help people gain weight. The ads made claims that sounded completely comical to our modern ears: "Add 5 lb of solid flesh in a week!" "Since I gained 10 lb . . . I have all the dates I want!" I showed the ads to my daughters, who responded, "Mom, I don't think those are real. Have you checked that on Snopes?"
But they're real, all right, despite how preposterous they seem. My first reaction, I am ashamed to admit, was that I was born too late. How great would it be to live during a time when well-padded women held the glamour-girl title? (As long as I'm being honest, I had a similar reaction to learning that in South America women get implants in their bottoms to achieve their culture's ideal shape. By some cruel twist of fate, had I been born on the wrong continent? Why couldn't I live where hips were hip?)
But of course, to seriously entertain these thoughts is to drink the Kool-Aid served up to women since the dawn of time: the belief that ideal physical beauty exists and should be pursued at all costs. For much of human history, the curvy beauty has prevailed. Statues [3] of women from ancient Greece and Rome, much like Renaissance art [4], celebrate a body type we would call "plus size" today. Historically, padded women were considered beautiful, because only the rich and idle could achieve such a figure, and because curviness indicated fertility. For women of past generations curviness was extremely hard to achieve unless you had the money to eat well and work little. Thanks to trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup, this is no longer the case. Ironically, the rich and idle of today strive to look undernourished and overworked. And the rest of us rush to follow suit.
So would it have been better to live during a time when well-fed women were hailed as beauties? I doubt it. Because the issue is not "fat versus thin"—it is "perfect versus imperfect." Women have always defined themselves by (enslaved themselves to?) some ideal of physical beauty. Though its definition may change across the centuries, one element remains constant: it is always a definition of beauty just beyond our reach. We want what we cannot have. If curvy is hard, we want curvy. If thin is hard, we want thin.
The expectation of physical perfection hits modern females early and often. In middle school, girls cut themselves to deal with the pressures of conforming to the ideal. In middle age, women do, too—but allow the surgeon to hold the knife. We carve the record of our self-loathing into the very flesh of our bodies—a self-marring, a literal carving of an idol. Increasingly, physical perfection is the legacy of womanhood in our culture, handed down with meticulous care from mother to daughter, with more faithful instruction in word and deed than we can trouble to devote to cultivating kindness, peacemaking, and acceptance that characterize unfading, inner beauty.
In this as in all things, there is hope and good news for the believer: one day we will be free of our self-loathings and live in harmony with our physical appearance. We will be given new, incorruptible bodies—bodies that are no longer on a collision course with the grave. We dare not reduce this future hope to that of an eternity with thinner thighs or a smaller nose. We must celebrate it as the day when vanity itself is dealt a fatal and final blow.
But how should we live in the meantime? By all means, we should steward the gift of our physical bodies—but for the sake of wellness, not beauty. Two women can step onto two treadmills with identical fitness goals and widely different motives. Only they will know the real reason they run.
January is typically a time when we talk a great deal about calories, work-outs, and weight loss. What if we didn't? What if we didn't talk about body sizes at all? What if we made it a point not to mention our own calorie sins or victories in front of our girlfriends and daughters? What if we started living in right relation to our bodies now, instead of waiting for the resurrection? What if every time we looked in the mirror and were tempted to complain we said, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven," laying claim to the future hope that our bodies will one day celebrate function in right relation to form, living in the glorious truth of that future hope now?
What if in 2013 we decided to fast not from food but from body-talk? Sure—hit the gym, eat the Paleo diet, run six miles a day, wear Spanx from neck to knee. Just stop talking about it. Stop telling your friend she looks skinny—instead tell her you love her sweet spirit. Choose compliments that spur her to pursue that which lasts instead of that which certainly does not. If someone comments on your own shape, say thanks and change the subject. Banish body-talk to the same list of off-limits topics as salaries, name-dropping, and colonoscopies. Apply the discipline you use to work out to controlling your tongue. Do this for your sisters, and by the grace of God, we could begin a legacy of womanhood that celebrates character over carb-avoidance, godliness over glamour.
Sister in Christ, physical perfection is not within our grasp, but, astonishingly, holiness is [5]. Where will you devote your energy in the new year? Go on a diet from discussing shape and size. Feast on the Word of Truth. Ask this of yourself for your sake, for the sake of your friends and daughters, for the sake of the King and his kingdom. On earth as it is in heaven.

Attempts to pay for a 100,000 yuan car with 1 yuan coins
A man in China tried to buy a car with coins, but didn't have the patience to wait around while they were counted.
A man in Adelaide, Australia was understandably perturbed after getting a $60 parking ticket. Rather than just pay his fine and carry on with the day, he opted to make life difficult for the folks at the Adelaide City Council, by giving them $60 in nickels to count through. Not the nicest gesture in the world, but we understand his frustration (and kind of admire his audacity).
Conspicuous consumption is a vice that wealthy Americans have down to a science, but it's safe to say that the richest members of the Middle Eastern elite have elevated it to an art.

While I can't speak for anyone else, I most certainly have the very same problem with ANY parent that desires non-therapeutic, cosmetic surgery that reduces that infants primary sex organ in any way, on any unconsenting infant, boy OR girl!!!posted 08/10/2012 by just_wishing...
Since you just keep repeating that circumcision is so very beneficial, why don't you explain to me how MY circumcision benefited ME? So far, I have had three doctors tell me that I rrequired skin grafts to relieve the pain, curvature upon erections, and the skin splitting caused by an overly aggressive circumcision. They ALL told me that they couldn't replace the lost sensation, but that the additional skin would at least relieve my skin tension problems. I had enough trouble caused by someone working on my penis with sharp instruments, and was NOT going to allow anyone else near it with one again. Ultimately, I heard of "fauxskin" restoration, and once that process generated enough tissue to relieve the excess tension, the bowing, the splitting of skin and the pain went away. Just to achieve that level of comfort took just over 1 and 1/2 years. It took me 4 years and 2 months to finish the job, and the resulting "fauxskin" has given my wife and I a new lease on our sex life.posted 08/10/2012 by just_wishing...
Also people remember moms arent the sole decider in whether their newborn son gets the very BENEFICIAL procedure done fathers also decide and I dont see anybody bashing the fathers that also want their sons to have it done so who is being sexist now!!!posted 08/10/2012 by BellasMommy0730

It's tragic there are so many misinformed people saying such immature, ridiculous stuff....but I am guessing that those same women would be so insulted if a man were to say, oh I feel sorry for all those women with ugly vulva's.....they should really get trimmed up so I will think they are not ugly!!!! IT is just as ridiculous. Please inform yourself asap!!!!!!! wow.posted 08/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

As a result of his examination, he was able to identify both the type of nerve endings, and their density in various portions of the foreskin. He could tell you what each of those types of nerves was supposed to respond to as well. Years later, Dr. Morris Sorrells did a study to determine the various portions of the penis that were sensitive to light touch, using standard Semmes-Weinstein neurological sensitivity testing equipment. He mapped out the male sex organ and conducted his measurements on a group of 159 men, some of which were intact, and some of which were circumcised. His resultsturned outto match the sensitivity predicted by Dr. John Taylor's histological examination exactly.posted 08/09/2012 by just_wishing...
What you call (u people thoeries), I consider evidence. You have the anecdotal experiences of 2 men that are ablre to attest to the change in sexual sensitivity as a result of their circumcisions. On one hand, you have a man that was intact until sfter he had become sexually active, and then chose to be circumcised. This man noticed the sensation loss to such a degree that he discovered that it is now much more dificult than it had been before to achieve his ejculation. On the other hand, I am a man that was circumcised at birth that restored my "fauxskin". I observed the increased sensitivity that this aditional tissue has provided me with. Granted it doesn't contain the extra sensitive nerves that SHOULD be there, but nonetheless, it is a substantially better condition than what my circumcision had left me with. This agrees with logic as well. If you remove nerve laden tissue, you remove any tactile feedback that those nerves could have provided.posted 08/09/2012 by just_wishing...

Flip Mino camcorder
3.5 stars
Slimmer profile, simple, video quality is pretty good
Screen a little small, resolution is lacking, not much change from last version
We liked the Flip Video Ultra Edition for its pure simplicity. But no sooner had the Ultra launched in the UK, rumours started appearing about the launch of the Mino stateside. In-between times the pocketable video camera landscape has changed. So can the Mino offer anything new?
The major change from the Flip Ultra is a move from batteries to a sealed internal rechargeable unit. This has allowed the camcorder to shrink down to 16 x 50 x 100mm, shaving millimetres off in all dimensions. Charging the internal battery now takes place when you plug the Mino into your PC via the on-board USB connector.
Around the back you get pretty much the same layout as before, with the same simple controls. Unfortunately you get the same 1.5-inch, 528 x 132 pixel resolution screen as well. We say unfortunately, because we'd expect to see something a little larger. The controls have changed however, so it no longer looks like a toy. Instead you get backlit touch controls for play, delete, volume and skipping back and forth, whilst you still get a big red button to record.
There is a dedicated power switch and a latch to flip out the USB 2.0 connector, which has now moved to the top. A nifty little white LED flashes to let you know that you are hooked up to the juice, as well as launching the on-board software that is the same as the previous outing. In the Ultra we questioned the lack of direct access to Facebook and nothing has changed in this iteration, but you still get to stick your videos straight into YouTube, MySpace and AOL Video. Through the software the conversion takes place on your PC rather than online, which speeds up the process.
In terms of recording, the Mino records 640 x 480 MPEG4 video at 30fps, and you can get 1 hour of video on to the 2GB internal memory. The device also comes 75% charged, so out of the box you'll be able shoot some video. Thereafter the battery will give you a cited life of about 4 hours. Of course, as soon as you plug it in you are charging again, so it becomes difficult to gauge how much life you really get. That said, you only really need your hour of filming plus any showing off time.
Start-up time is one of the real bonuses here, because you can literally whip it out and get filming in seconds which beats most phones or digital cameras.
So what are the results like? Well, we are pleased to say it is the same respectable quality from the original Flip. Colours are a little too vivid as is often the case with camcorders. You'll also find, as is common with many small video recorders, that things get very shaky once you are moving along, if you are walking and filming it is difficult to keep things steady, so if at all possible it is better to keep yourself still.
Compared to the video results that you get from most mobile phones, the Flip Mino still has things on its side delivering, overall, a much more watchable experience, bar the caveats mentioned above. The TV out jack on the side of the device (which is unfortunately 2.5mm, but you get the cable in the box) makes it simple to watch back your movies on most TVs – we watched the video on a 40-inch screen and the quality is certainly acceptable.
Sound is also surprisingly good and we didn't detect the subtle buzz artefacts that plagued the Ultra. Indoors the sound is pretty good although things do get a little more noisy outside. You are restricted to the built-in mic with no option for an external mic. All in all, it seems like a good little bundle.
But, and there is a but, things don't seem to have changed much. We're 6-months on from the Ultra and we are basically looking at the same thing. In the meantime the pocket camcorder world has become a much busier place and critically, we are now looking larger screens and HD quality recording, for a similar price.
Whilst you can slip the Mino into your pocket to capture your movies on the fly, it just seems to be a little too late to the party, thanks to that unfortunate delay launching on this side of the water.

Newlyweds on the Block! Jenny McCarthy and New Kids on the Block alum Donnie Wahlberg tied the knot on Sunday, Aug. 31 in the ballroom of the Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois, Us Weekly confirms.
PHOTOS: Celeb weddings in 2014
The ceremony lasted just 20 minutes and was filmed for TV. The couple went under the aliases Paul and Alma to keep their nuptials underwraps.
The gorgeous ceremony was not one Jenny McCarthy reveled in putting together. She told Us Weekly in July, "Really, I'm so bad [at planning]. The problem is, I consider myself to be kind of like a dude … Like, I just kind of want to show up and drink."
PHOTOS: Jenny McCarthy's best bikini moments
It was a quick engagement for the couple at just four months. Donnie Wahlberg proposed to Jenny McCarthy this past April with a dazzling yellow sapphire engagement ring. The actress made the news public on "The View," showing off the sparkler to her then-cohosts.
PHOTOS: Quickest celeb engagements ever
Us Weekly exclusively revealed that the '90s heartthrobs were dating in July 2013. This is the second marriage for Jenny McCarthy, who was married to director John Mallory Asher from 1999 to 2005, before having a longterm relationship with Jim Carrey in the late 2000s. It is also Donnie Wahlberg's second marriage. He was wed to recording engineer Kim Fey from 1999 to 2008.

New Mexico had four human plague cases in 2013 with one fatality.
Plague is a bacterial disease of rodents and is generally transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas, but can also be transmitted by direct contact with infected animals, including rodents, wildlife and pets.
Symptoms in humans include sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, and weakness.
The Department of Health says it will examine the man's home to look for ongoing risks to other people.
Health Secretary Retta Ward says health workers also may go to other homes in the neighborhood to tell residents about the plague case and to educate them about their risk.
The department says health care providers and people close to the patient are taking antibiotics as preventive therapy.

NEW PIC: Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Resurface at Amber Tamblyn's Wedding
Sisterly love!
Blake Lively returned the favor to her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar Amber Tamblyn by attending her wedding on Saturday, Oct. 6.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest married couples
Tamblyn, 29, tied the knot with Arrested Development actor David Cross, 48, in a non-traditional outdoor ceremony. The bride wore a canary yellow dress and walked barefoot after arriving to her ceremony by canoe.
PHOTOS: More celebs with huge age differences
Lively, 25, and her new husband, Ryan Reynolds, 35, were guests at the beautiful fall wedding. The couple were photographed at the ceremony dressed casually in blazers. On Sept. 9, Tamblyn attended Lively's wedding to Reynolds at Boone Hall Plantation & Garden in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina with Traveling Pants costars America Ferrera, 28, and Alexis Bledel, 30.
The Sisterhood women have remained close since starring together in 2005's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and 2008's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, and all reunited again to celebrate Tamblyn's big day. Ferrera, who married Ryan Piers Williams in June 2011, was photographed sharing some laughs with Amy Poehler -- who recently separated from Cross' Arrested Development costar Will Arnett after 9 years of marriage.
PHOTOS: Best celeb engagement rings of all time
Yo La Tengo performed during the reception and Questlove acted as deejay. "We played Superchunk ('Driveway to Driveway'), Pixies ('Here Comes Your Man'), and Mission of Burma ('Academy Fight Song'). Also ZZ Top's 'Give Me All Your Lovin',' Replacements' 'Kiss Me on the Bus,' Altered Images' 'See Those Eyes,' plus a few of our songs, all at the request of the bride and groom," the band told Us Weekly. "A couple of others that we thought would fit the occasion."

The Pagani Huayra (Italian pronunciation: [ˈwai̯ra]) is an Italian mid-engined sports car produced by Pagani. Succeeding the company's previous offering, the Zonda, it costs €1,198,000 ($1,314,000). It is named after Wayra Tata, which means "God of the winds" in Quechua, the official language of the Inca Empire.[1][2] The Huayra was named "The Hypercar of the Year 2012" by Top Gear magazine and received a very positive review when tested by Richard Hammond on Top Gear. The Huayra is currently the fastest road car to go around the Top Gear Test Track, setting a time of 1:13.8, beating the previous record of 1:15.1 set by the Ariel Atom V8 in January 2011. It was used in the movie Transformers: Age of Extinction as the KSI prototype turned Decepticon Stinger.
The Huayra uses a twin-turbo, V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG specially for the Huayra. The Huayra's 6.0-litre engine, the M158, produces 730 metric horsepower (720 bhp (539 kW)) and 811 lb·ft (1,100 N·m) of torque. Its top speed is about 238 mph (383 km/h) [3] and it has a rating 0–62 miles per hour (0–100 km/h) acceleration time of 3.0 seconds. Using Pirelli tires, the Pagani Huayra is capable of withstanding 1.66 g of lateral acceleration at speeds of up to 230 mph (370 km/h).[2][4]
The Pagani Huayra uses a seven-speed sequential gearbox and a single disc clutch.[2] The choice not to use a dual-clutch in an oil bath was due to the increase in weight of over 70 kg (154 lb), thus negating any advantage of the faster gear changes in a double-clutch transmission.[2] As a result, the entire transmission weighs 96 kg (212 lb).[2]
The car is equipped with Brembo brake calipers, rotors and pads. The calipers have four pistons in front and four in the rear. The rotors are drilled carbon ceramic, 380 mm (15.0 in) in diameter and 34 mm (1.3 in) thick.[5]
Mercedes-Benz's AMG division provides the engine of the Huayra which is hand-built. The 5,980 cc, twin-turbo, 60° AMG M158 V12, has been designed at the request of Pagani to reduce turbo lag and improve response, realized with smaller turbos, a different intercooler configuration and re-programmed ECU settings.
Like many high-performance cars, the Huayra uses dry sump lubrication. This has several key benefits including guaranteeing oil flow even when the car is subjected to extreme lateral acceleration, preventing "oil surge" which allows the engine to operate more efficiently while the lack of an oil pan allows mounting the engine lower, lowering the car's center of gravity and improving handling. The fuel consumption of the Huayra is 10 mpg (23 l/100 km) in city and 14 mpg (17 l/100 km) in highway (EPA testing).
A water / oil heat exchanger reduces engine warm-up times on cold days and helps maintain a stable temperature for refrigerants and lubricants.
To minimize the use of pipes and fittings (and the overall weight of the vehicle), the expansion tank is mounted directly on the engine. Intercooler fins act as an expansion tank circuit at low temperatures.
The titanium exhaust system was designed and built by MHG-Fahrzeugtechnik.[4] Hydroformed joints were developed to reduce back pressure and ensure a free flow exhaust. Titanium reduces the weight of the exhaust system while the Inconel silencers improve reliability in the most exposed parts of the exhaust at high temperatures. The entire system weighs less than 10 kg (22 lb).
The Pagani Huayra is different from its predecessor in that it incorporates active aerodynamics.[2] It is capable of changing the height of the front from the ground and independently operating four flaps placed at the rear and front of the car.[2] The behavior of the flaps is managed by a dedicated control unit that is fed information from systems such as the ABS and ECU, which pass on information about the car's speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, steering angle and throttle position.[6] This is intended to achieve minimal drag coefficient or maximum downforce depending on the situation.[2] The Huayra's designer Horacio Pagani states that it has a variable drag coefficient of between .31 to .37.[7] The system also prevents excess body roll in the corners by raising the "inside" flaps (i.e. the left ones in a left-handed corner and vice versa), increasing the downforce on that side of the car. The rear flaps also act as an airbrake. Under hard braking, both the front suspension and the two rear flaps are raised to counteract weight transfer to the front wheels and keep the whole car stable, for instance when entering a corner.[6] Air from the radiator is extracted through an arch in the bonnet at an angle that is designed not to affect the streamline around the body. The side air intakes behind the front wheels create a low pressure zone, resulting in downforce.
Official debut[edit]
The Pagani Huayra was officially debuted online with many pictures in a press release on January 25, 2011.[2][8][9] The official world debut was at the Geneva Auto Salon 2011 in March.[10]
EA secured the exclusive video game rights to the Pagani Huayra in 2011, available exclusively in Need for Speed titles in 2011, Shift 2: Unleashed and Need for Speed: The Run.[11] This license expired on 31 December 2011. In 2012 it appeared in Need For Speed: Most Wanted at second place on the Most Wanted List. The Huayra also appears in Need for Speed Rivals as a racer vehicle. The Pagani Huayra also appears in the Jalopnik January DLC Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 4 along with other cars like the Ford Pinto, the Alfa Romeo Montreal and seven others. While all other cars in the pack can be purchased individually the Pagani Huayra can only be obtained by purchasing the whole pack. The Pagani Huayra was also featured in Asphalt 7: Heat, Asphalt 8: Airborne and in Forza Horizon Limited Edition, as well as CSR Racing, Assetto Corsa and Project CARS. The Pagani Huayra is also featured in Real Racing 3, Grid 2 and Grid Autosport. The Huayra is also playable in the Xbox One racing game Forza Motorsport 5, the PlayStation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 6 and the PlayStation 4 racing game Driveclub. A fictionalized version, branded the Pegassi Osiris, is included in the Ill Gotten Gains: Part 1 DLC update of Grand Theft Auto Online which was released on June 10, 2015.
The vehicle is used as an alternate mode for the Decepticon Stinger in Transformers: Age of Extinction film.[12]
Special Editions[edit]
Pagani has made two special editions Huayras to date.
La Monza Lisa[edit]
The first special edition Huayra is called "La Monza Lisa"[13] and is owned by Kris Singh. It features tricolore racing stripes and side stripes inspired by the Zonda Revolucion, and a bright red interior with white stitching inspired by a Zonda F Roadster. At the customer's request, Pagani also reengineered the firewall behind the occupants to be finished in a mixture of matte and gloss fully exposed carbon fiber, for visual effect as well as to pass more engine vibration through to the carbon fiber seat backs, per the customer's request.[14] The car belongs to Kris Singh, who also owns a Lamborghini Veneno.
730 S[edit]
Pagani's second special edition Huayra is called "730S" and was ordered by Mexican car collector Alejandro Salomon.[15]
End of production[edit]
On February 11, 2015 GTspirit.com reported that the Pagani Huayra has been sold out. The Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of Pagani's agreement with engine supplier Mercedes-AMG.[16]
Pagani Huayra Roadster[edit]
On February 11, 2015 Pagani confirmed to GTspirit that a roadster version will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.[16] The Pagani Huayra Roadster will run on a 6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 Mercedes-Benz AMG engine.[17]

Scene 1
Bernadette's opening wedding presents at her apartment, with Penny and Amy also there. She opens up a gravy boat, and Penny makes a note of it on a pad of paper ("one gravy boat"). Amy says that's from Sheldon, and he had it engraved on the bottom. Bernadette turns it over to read the engraving – in case of divorce, return to Sheldon Cooper. Penny modifies her note to "one inappropriate – yet I wish I'd thought of that – gravy boat."
Amy says that when she gets married, she's going to register with the UCLA cadaver lab. Penny says, ew, why? Amy says because she's always wanted a full human skeleton, but they are pricey. As Penny gets up to get a drink, Bernadette asks Amy if she really thinks she'll get married to Sheldon. Amy says yes, she's got a five year plan. Bernadette says that they've been together for two years, and they're only holding hands. Amy says she knows, she's ahead of schedule. On the last couple of takes, Amy's response to Bernadette's initial marriage question was yes, in exactly four years, but don't tell Sheldon cause he's a flight risk.
As Penny comes back and sits down, Bernadette asks, "what about you?" Penny asks, about what? Bernadette asks if Penny thinks she and Leonard will get married. Penny says that Leonard's a really great guy. Bernadette asks again, "but do you think you'll get married?" Penny says he's a real sweetie. Amy says she's not answering the question, and asks if she loves him. Penny says of course she does. Bernadette says it doesn't sound like it, but Penny says, well, she does. One of the girls asks if she tells him that, and Penny says no, he'd just take it the wrong way. They ask how, and she says that he's special, and smart, and nice…

AMARILLO DAILY NEWS. The Amarillo Daily News was an outgrowth of the Amarillo News, first published as a weekly in 1894, the Amarillo Weekly News, which appeared in 1898, and the Amarillo Evening News, which began as a daily in 1899. In 1909 Delbert Davenport and W.A. Allen moved to Amarillo from Kansas and started the Evening American. William Beck of Indiana bought an interest in the paper, and a plant was established at Fifth and Tyler streets. A new Amarillo corporation seeking to promote prohibition acquired the paper, and it was subsequently published, beginning on November 4, 1909, as the Amarillo Daily News. This paper, which absorbed the Amarillo Daily Tribune and the Daily Panhandle, was produced by the Amarillo Publishing Company, claimed to be independent, and called itself the "morning newspaper of the golden spread." Among the incorporators of the Amarillo Publishing Company were Dr. J. E. Nunn, president; W. A. Askew, secretary; and J. W. McGammon, editor. Other owners included R. E. Underwood and J. W. Crudgington. Financial troubles forced a foreclosure sale of the publication in 1912, after which it was purchased by J. W. Williams and Willis D. Twichell. At a second foreclosure in 1916, the paper was returned to one of its original owners, J. E. Nunn, whose son, J. Lindsay Nunn, became publisher and general manager in the fall of 1920. In January 1926 Eugene A. Howe and his associates, then publishers of the Amarillo Globe, acquired the paper; they soon combined the two as companion morning and afternoon newspapers and named the operation the Globe-News Publishing Company. In 1955 S. B. Whittenburg and associates purchased the company, which by 1966 published the Daily News each morning, along with the evening Amarillo News and Globe-Times and the Amarillo Sunday News-Globe. In 1967 the Amarillo Daily News (the morning paper), the Globe-Times (the evening paper), and the Sunday News-Globe were sold to the Southwestern Newspapers Corporation. By the 1990s the paper had merged with the Amarillo Globe-Times to form the Amarillo News and Globe-Times, which had a circulation of about 65,000.

Recap: Lunaverse S 1 E 15 W 1 Greengrasss Night
As the night begins, a pony named Builder Brick requests to the Court that a certain construction grant be given to Vicereine Puissance, as opposed to Archduke Bobbing Fisher. From his booth, Duke Greengrass complains to his personal assistant Notary about the pointlessness of the meeting, since Fisher has locked up the grant, and had done so over a month ago. The two joke about how pointless a lot of the Court politics are. When the meeting is over, someone slips a message under Greengrass's door, requesting that he meet them in a disused wing of the library. Greengrass is bemused by the spy-novel style secrecy, but decides that he'll see what they want.Greengrass enters the library, flanked by his two bodyguards Ox and Bear. Builder Brick meets him there and begs him to get the grant switched to Puissance; Puissance has threatened that, if Fisher gets the grant, Brick's husband will be incarcerated for crimes he committed, but she'll have him let off if she gets it. After securing a promise for substantial discounts on construction in the fiefdoms of himself and his allies, Greengrass says that he'll do it. When he tells Notary about this, she's skeptical that he can pull it of, but Greengrass says that it will be fun to try.Greengrass goes to speak with Puissance, an ancient politician who is rich beyond measure. She doesn't want his help, but he's able to play upon her fears of being upstaged by the younger Fisher and looking weak and frail in front of the Court. She agrees that she will support Greengrass's plans at the Grand Galloping Gala if he helps her now. He verifies that he needs to change three votes so that Puissance wins and asks her who she thinks he should try; she tells him that Blueblood is flaky, that Fragrant Posey has an 'apolitical' faction that only cares about the economics of the grant (and so might be swayed by bogus number studies), and that Archduchess Nobility relies on the soldier Captain Lightning to tell her how to vote, and that he's been away for so long that it's unlikely that Fisher's shored him up properly. She also threatens to ruin Greengrass if he betrays her or hurts her; he takes this with grace and aplomb.Blueblood will not speak to Greengrass until after he gives a presentation later in the night. Greengrass moves on, sending Notary to set up a big scam to fool Lightning, and he himself arranges for a Duke Sand to be unavailable; Sand is Fragrant Posey's chess partner, meaning she'll need a new one. Greengrass volunteers when she comes to complain to him about Sand's absence. He plays bughouse chess with Posey, Fancy Pants (whom he suspects of being more than his fashion-obsessed nitwit personality suggests), and Fleur de Lis (whom he thinks is exactly the bimbo airhead she acts like). Posey won't be swayed, but does let slip that a new politician, Mounty Max, is the least sure pony of her faction. They also discuss the farming competition, and Fragrant Posey thanks Greengrass for having Flim and Flam moved to solitary confinement after they sent her threatening letters (which were actually forgeries by Greengrass). Greengrass confirms that no one can talk to them, which means they can't tell anyone that Greengrass had hired them to obtain Carrot Top's services.Blueblood gives his presentation, which is telling the Court to buy chariots from a company he owns. Greengrass ridicules the idea to Notary, pointing out how useless the chariots are — especially as they are purported to be for an early-warning Corona scout unit, and Corona could easily obliterate them. Nonetheless, he determines that appealing to Blueblood's pride and vanity will be the way to sway him, so he intervenes and keeps Blueblood's bill alive by playing up to the listening press that any one who goes against it clearly doesn't care if Corona burns them all. He later approaches Blueblood and succeeds in getting his vote.Greengrass then goes to Mounty Max's chambers and bamboozles him, using forged financial documents, into thinking that the grant will be better in Puissance's domain than Fisher's. He also agrees to change his vote.Greengrass meets with Notary to verify that all the preparations for Lightning are ready, and then says that he's going to his 'private residence.' This turns out to be a vibrant garden in a basement that is hidden away from the rest of the Court. Greengrass reflects on how he was a terrible gardner as a youth, with his plants invariably dying, until he discovered his special talent — weeding. After he built up his power base, he took over the basement and carefully 'weeded' everything that might hurt his plants, and now they grow fine. He uses his weeding talent to determine the weaknesses of the Courtiers and other ponies he deals with, be they emotions like pride or fear, injuries, dirty secrets, or anything else. He muses on his own ambition, how he wants to rule Equestria one day and turn it into his own garden, which he can carefully nurture and cultivate. Though he knows that taking time out of politicking to garden is risky, as he could miss things, he also reflects on his father, who sacrificed everything and served the Court selflessly for fifty years but got nothing out of it. He doesn't want to end up like his father, and so he makes sure to frequently take some time to indulge in his enjoyable hobbies. He resolves that he won't end up like his father — he'll rise in the Court, have fun doing it, and one day win the 'Game' and rule the country.Lightning arrives in town. Notary has paid actors to wear clothes from his district and wander around in shock like they're refugees. She has also used one of Greengrass's agents, a newspaper editor, to print fake papers announcing some horrible attack near Lightning's base. Lightning is convinced of the attack by this and other evidence. Greengrass convinces him that the Court won't send out the army for a few days, but he'll send some of his personal militia, provided Lightning fliips Nobility's vote. Lightning clearly hates Greengrass but is convinced to do it.At the Court meeting in the morning, Puissance wins the grant.In his chambers, Greengrass receives first a furious Lightning (who threatens revenge, which doesn't worry Greengrass because he's sure that Nobility will torpedo his career for basically selling her vote to Greengrass), a pleased Puissance (who nonetheless urges Greengrass to be cautious lest he screw up and fall hard), and finally Fisher. Fisher demands to know what Greengrass was thinking. Greengrass tells him that he just wanted to get Fisher's attention, as he has some plans that could benefit them both. He offers to let Fisher take a bigger share of the reward in those plans as payment for the grant. Despite himself, Fisher is impressed by Greengrass's political ability, and agrees.Greengrass goes to bed just as the sun is coming up, pleased with that night's activities.
This fic contains the following tropes:
- Note: first appearances of Vicereine Puissance, Archduke Bobbing Fisher, Viscount Prince Blueblood, Baron Mounty Max, Ox, Bear, and Notary.
This fic contains the following tropes:
- Corrupt Politician: Most of them, including Greengrass, Fisher, Puissance, and Blueblood.
- Day in the Limelight: Greengrass, up to this point a nebulous antagonist with only a single scene, is the star of the show.
- Green Thumb: Played with. Greengrass is an earth pony, and so is supposed to be a good farmer, but he can barely grow grass normally. It's only once he discovered his talent of weeding that he figured out how he could grow something — by killing everything that might get in its way.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: weeding doesn't sound like a terribly useful special talent for a politician, but Greengrass can use it to find the weaknesses of other ponies, just like he would a stubborn weed, and then remove them.
- Hidden Depths: Fancy and Fleur.
- Hyper Competent Sidekick: Notary, who sets up some of the Duke's scams and does a lot more than most personal assistants.
- Magnificent Bastard: The Duke.
- Manipulative Bastard: The Duke.
- Massive Multiplayer Scam: How Lightning is fooled
- Mook: Ox and Bear.
- Super Powered Mooks: Bear is a unicorn, with accompanying magical powers.
- Naïve Newcomer: Baron Mounty Max, who knows little of politics got his seat after a heroic rock climbing incident in which he saved several foals. He'd rather be back on the mountain.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis. Greengrass sees through Fancy's, but not Fleur's.
- Servile Snarker: Notary. The Duke as well, a little, when talking to the nobles who outrank him.
- Smart People Play Chess: And bughouse chess, none the less.
- Take Over the World: The Duke's ambitions are boundless.
- Upper-Class Twit: Blueblood.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: Averted; Greengrass seems to have only contempt for his father.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Averted, see above.

Finding a Question
Data isn't an end in itself. We usually want data to help us answer some question or do some activity.
So your first task will be to think of some question that you'd like to answer that could be answered by getting hold of some data.
- How many people are without clean drinking water in the world this year?
- How much did my country spend on defence last year?
- What is a normal weight for someone my age?
You can find more questions, and requests for specific datasets, on http://getthedata.org/
For the purposes of exposition, during the rest of this course we are going to focus on a specific example question shown below. Of course, you should focus on your own question.
Our question: How much financial support did the US government give to banks and other companies during the financial crisis of 2008-2009?

As reported by Access Hollywood, with the completion of Star Trek XI, the next thing will be seeing if fans like the newest entry in the Star Trek universe. "I'm...excited about [fan] reaction," said Abrams. He then turned to writer/producer Roberto Orci and asked, "Are you anxious?"
"Yeah sure," said Orci. "You never want to be so arrogant to go, 'Oh, they're going to blow it away." We're...not smug, but we're confident."
"I gotta say, I am not worried about fans of the show liking the movie," added Abrams. "Fans of the show have seen it and had really great reactions, but I am as excited and nervous, kind of butterflies as I think I get about everything. I hope people like it. You work that long and hard on something and you don't want it to be trashed."
Abrams went on to praise Leonard Nimoy. "Leonard Nimoy is the greatest and he's in there," said Abrams. "He was amazing. It was the weirdest thing, 'cause I always knew OK I'm going to be dealing with Leonard Nimoy and he's going to be playing Spock, but the first day...it was surreal to direct him as Spock, because what the hell am I doing there? It's like this guy's been there for forty years. Its like 'I think Spock would...'"

Report: Tuiasosopo to join Sarkisian's staff at USC
Perhaps Washington fans could be forgiven for thinking that if any of their assistants would resist being poached by new USC coach -- and former Huskies head man -- Steve Sarkisian, Marques Tuiasosopo would. Sarkisian's quarterbacks coach, Tuiasosopo was a star (and fan-favorite) quarterback for Washington in his playing days and close enough to the program to be named its interim coach when Sarkisian left for the Trojans, a decision that worked to the tune of a 31-16 Fight Hunger Bowl victory over BYU.
But according to a report from the Seattle Times, it didn't make any difference in the end. Despite an offer from new Washington coach Chris Petersen to remain on staff with the Huskies, Tuiasosopo is set to join USC as the Trojans' tight ends coach, the Times reported.
USC is expected to make the hire official Monday, along with the hire of Washington defensive coordinator (and former Petersen defensive coordinator at Boise State) Justin Wilcox. Sarkisian may also have been interested in Husky defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator Tosh Lupoi, though Washington's investigation into alleged NCAA violations committed by Lupoi has complicated Lupoi's situation.
The Times reported that Petersen is set to announce former Boise quarterbacks coach Jonathan Smith will take over the same position on the Husky staff, and that Petersen had offered Tuiasosopo the tight ends coach position at Washington.
If Tuiasosopo wanted to remain in his current staffing position, that might explain his willingness to leave his alma mater behind -- but whatever the reason, don't expect Huskies fans to feel all that understanding about it for the forseeable future.

I'll be in Charlottetown for 4 days in early May for business. I've found a place that rents bikes but am wondering if there are good road rides for say 40-60 kms that would start and end in Charlottetown that would be good for an evening.
Any help is appreciated.

The removable cheek pads are available in optional sizes so that each rider can personalize their fit

Aecom unwraps tourist spot on Aussie Gold Coast
[First look] Global practice Aecom with Brisbane-based Malcolm Middleton Architects has completed a new visitor attraction on Australia's Gold Coast
The project to create a visitor centre and recreational spaces for the Hinze Dam is part of a Aus$395million (£265million) upgrade to the Queensland fresh water tourist attraction.
The dam offers a range of outdoor activities including fishing, kayaking, horse riding and bush walking, and is a popular location for weddings.
Aecom practice director James Dorrat said: 'The response focused on enhancing visitors' experience through demonstrating and educating visitors on the processes of water.
'The timber-clad function room of the visitor centre allows breathtaking 180-degree views of the dam and adjacent parklands, setting a benchmark of design for the local eco-tourism industry.'
