The December rape and murder of a young medical student on a bus in New Delhi shocked India and galvanized a protest movement across the country.
But when it comes to violence against women, the problem goes far beyond one case, one city, or the issue of rape.
On a misty, chilly morning in the village of Bamla, a few dozen men lock arms, grunt, and groan as they wrestle each other in a huge sandpit.
The men of northern India are famous for being strong and fit — and single. Not one of these wrestlers is married. All of them were born just around the time when ultrasound technology made it possible to determine the sex of fetuses — and to abort the ones that are girls.
The United Nations says today an estimated 50 million women and girls are missing in India because of an illegal, yet widespread practice of female feticide and infanticide. The Indian government disputes these estimates, but the reality of life in Haryana is hard to argue with.
"It's such a social issue that every house is facing this problem," says Rishi Kant, an Indian social activist. "There are young boys who are not getting girls, and when you talk to them they are frustrated."
This frustration is breeding a network of organized crime across the country. More and more families, unable to find wives for their sons, resort to buying them instead.
I follow police as they raid a house in Haryana, looking for a 14-year-old girl. She is sweeping the floor when we enter the room. She clutches a broom as policemen in beige uniforms tower over her, asking questions.

Initial calls for American-led sanctions against Russia over Crimea and Ukraine met with less than universal enthusiasm. Now that the costs of trade sanctions imply damage to a world with worrying threats of recession, economists are expressing concerns.
Within an increasingly global economy, trade restrictions are effective only if enforced universally or by means of a military blockade. The larger the targeted country, the more difficult it is to police sanctions. Further, in the global economy, trade embargoes against a major nation imply significant costs to those imposing the restrictions. Soon, they become a two-edged weapon.
Sanctions could erode the world's Reserve Currency role of the dollar. For how long can the United States and allies sustain sanctions against Russia?
Allied trade sanctions against small countries such as Rhodesia were quite damaging. Even against larger countries such as Iran, when oil could be purchased from alternative sources, trade restrictions proved largely successful. But Russia is a former superpower with a political reach far greater than its economy would indicate.
For example, the United States is seeking possibly decisive Russian support in its nuclear negotiations with Iran and would lose by forcing Russia back into a close relationship with China.
The Obama administration appeared not to recognize the Crimean dispute as a mirror image of the Cuban affair in which President Kennedy could not climb down even if it meant nuclear war. In Crimea, the administration failed to see that Putin could not climb down. Instead of finding a face-saving exit, Obama beat a threatening drum — making Putin's victory all the more impressive and disturbing to the international community. Further, it exposed important splits within NATO, possibly encouraging Putin to go for Ukraine.
According to the German Foreign Office, Germany transacts $106 billion in Russian trade, about 3 percent of its international total. Bloomberg estimates American trade with Russia at $40 billion, about 1 percent of its global total.
Germany imports 36 percent of its natural gas and 39 percent of oil from Russia, according to Deutsche Welle. The EU relies on less. While there are expensive energy alternatives, Russia can do serious damage to the EU's and Germany's economic engines.
"We are alarmed by the escalation of trade conflict with Russia," Anton Boerner, head of BGA, the German Trade Association, said recently.
Giant EU companies like Siemens, Volkswagen and Shell have warned of the damage implied by sanctions against Russia. Furthermore, recent Russian retaliatory sanctions are increasing recessionary pressures on Europe and internationally.
The starkly different implications for the United States and EU explain the important initial split within NATO.
Russia has forged trade relationships with Asia, particularly China. The trading likely will be conducted in non-dollar currencies, eroding further the dollar's international importance and threatening its longer-term Reserve Currency status.
As the sanctions of both sides bite deeper, a growing awareness of the costs, inconvenience and even suffering likely will strike Western populations.

Barclays: What is the order book in China
Elon: Blown away by the demand and GOOD WILL. I'm really optimistic how things will go there. We are trying to expand service center and supercharge network to deal with the cars delivered in market. Not very many stores. 90% focus on service.
We'll have to limit the amount of cars we send to China or we'd starve the rest of the world.
Local Chinese production of Tesla will be for local and regional production.
Shipping 2 tons of metal over long distance isn't sensible. Local production will be favored.
Q: Wait times?
Elon: 4-5 months. Long. Some customers in mid sized cities are unhappy we are delaying deliveries. Service is necessary and can't be 500 miles away from where someone lives.
Andrea James: R&D ramping significantly. What components make up that? How much is model X costing?
Depak: Primarily driven by engineering design and testing for Model X and Model S for China, RHD, Japan localization. Not driven by head count.
Elon: Some of that is also we want to make ongoing improvements to the Model S. 100s of small improvements. Collectively they add up to an improved experience with the car. Seat comfort. Fit and finish. We are modifying the rear door to open wider. Software. Very exciting updates coming in the next few months that will improve the entire fleet of customers. Not going to say what they are.
Deepak: Lots more in-country testing.
Elon: More important to service the cars well, charging is sorted out, and when customers take delivery, they have a good experience. Correct this from other market rollouts.
Model X is the biggest driver of expenditures. Really trying to make an amazing car, and more importantly where the production version is better than the prototype.
thanks again @SamO
Listen live... http://www.media-server.com/m/p/v75jxsxa
Elon saying engineering challenges to X, including ensuring sill doesn't jut out too far and adequate rain protection.
Gigafactory news:
Panasonic signed Letter of Intent.
Joined working team.
Break ground on giga on multiple sites.
Giga starts next month, CA in the running.
California red tape on green sites a drag/slow, so screw that and break ground elsewhere for now. CA giga may come later.
Gaga = industrial complex, Panasonic creates cells, others may build other components, will need to import extra cells outside factory to meet demand.
R&D eats up 30% of Tesla's $$
Model S deliveries, battery cell availability is limiting factor to production capacity
Fremont factory coming down for 10 days in July to improve factory workflow and to optimize.
Model X production delayed, says Elon
Making sure Model S is perfect before moving too hard on X.
2qtr 2015 for Model X deliveries
Model X production will be sharp ramp up, so car needs to have bugs worked out before release. Otherwise risk recalls and poor customer experience.
Model S isn't perfect?
"We are putting superchargers in cities, not just between cities."
Lithium, no issues finding needed supplies.
Battery's anode carbon structure uses high amount of synthetic graphite, which is trickier to synthesize.
China and Hong Kong, electrical wiring in China not up to snuff so some buyers canceling orders.
Some apartments there can only handle 20 amps. Tesla says should be okay.
China will have Superchargers in cities, not just between cities like in U.S.
London tricky with mostly street parking.
Orders in North America up 10%
Deliveries in north were down, due to increasing Europe deliveries.
Deliveries != demand
Steady increase in demand in North America.
Tesla is putting superchargers in cities for the owners that live in apartments/condos without a dedicated parking spot or with street parking only. London is a particular problem in this regard.
Great news for city owners!
Gross profit steady, revenue down.
Cost improvements/reductions, but Elon says never cuts cost if it makes the product worse. Ha, he says cost savings for example in "getting molecules in the right shape."
28% gross margin by end of year.
2015 forecast, gigafactory, Model X will eat capital next year.
Global expansion aggressive next year.
China, domestic production there, Elon says unsure yet, early stages, service and Superchargers in China high priority there.
Battery factories, two for now, more down the pipe.
Is Tesla spending too much on factories? Nope says Deepak. Necessary in order for the company to get the job done.
Stationary storage low priority for now says Elon. Home storage, flat pack wall mounted, cover, integrated inverter, plug-n-play, And then he hushes.
Elon is talking home storage theory.
I wonder if the analysts are going to pick up on the concur the world stuff going on here (not just cars)?
Chinese market is largest auto-lux market in the world.
Tesla opportunity huge in the East. Tesla China will become biggest market, period. Rapidly expanding Superchargers there. Elon says spend as much money there without wasting.
Someone shut him up........
What is the CEO of a car company doing talking about home storage :)
Someone shut him up........
What is the CEO of a car company doing talking about home storage :)
Analyst comparing BMW 7 to Model S. (Dumb.question)
Elon says battery about 25% the cost of the car.
July increased Fremont battery automation, robots in beast mode. Incremental few hundred $ savings per car here and there, no large decrease in battery cost soon.
Wrapping up...
Home storage is going to be huge and will disrupt another entirely different industry. Go Tesla!
Ha, Elon shut down/hung up on the BMW analyst.
Next analyst trying to weasel out predicted demand numbers, Elon says nope.
Interesting market reaction given the fact that they beat expectations and that North American orders were up 10%.

Looking to study up for the new J2EE 1.5 Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) exam?
This book will get you way up to speed on the technology you'll know it so well, in fact, that you can pass the brand new J2EE 1.5 exam. If that's what you want to do, that is. Maybe you don't care about the exam, but need to use servlets and JSPs in your next project. You're working on a deadline. You're over the legal limit for caffeine. You can't waste your time with a book that makes sense only AFTER you're an expert (or worse, one that puts you to sleep).

Master the c:out tag, and get a handle on exactly what's changed since the older J2EE 1.4 exam. You don't just pass the new J2EE 1.5 SCWCD exam, you'll understand this stuff and put it to work immediately.
Head First Servlets and JSP doesn't just give you a bunch of facts to memorize; it drives knowledge straight into your brain. You'll interact with servlets and JSPs in ways that help you learn quickly and deeply. And when you're through with the book, you can take a brand-new mock exam, created specifically to simulate the real test-taking experience.

With support from UNICEF, Special Olympics Thailand implemented a sports plan that provided training and competition for 1,248 athletes. In support of the Millennium Development Goals in recognizing gender equality, 425 female athletes were recruited. The project, which concluded in September, included sporting events, Motor Skill Development workshops, aerobic dance and more. "We are honored to partner with UNICEF. Together, we are able to provide opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities to take part in their communities through sport, leadership development, family support and much more. What is also very gratifying is watching how the community responds. Together, we are indeed helping to build inclusive communities - one at a time," said Rachaniwan Bulakul, National Director of Special Olympics Thailand.

A wonderful product.

I have nothing bad to say about it, it works just as advertised and heats up quick. Small and portable. Excellent quality materials and prompt delivery! I wanted something small and portable and the huge digital box wasn't what I was looking for. The power cord, whip, and nail all fit in one small pouch that my Garmin GPS came in.

A real game changer!
Posted by errlman on 5th Feb 2014
I purchased an analog d-nail from the dab lab and I love it!!! Just know that each 1/16th of an inch on the d-nail controller is a 78 degrees increase. I like to put mine between 3/16th and 5/16th. Also make sure you mark the center on the movable temperature button. Thus, I use temperatures between 734 and 890. I normally just put my nail to 3/16th of an inch and 4/16th of an inch for a normal sesh. But if I'm going to have a few friends over then 5/16th is perfect.
Hope This helps give a bit more info about this wonderful and esoteric d-nail !!!!! :)

Oh, and remind myself to call a physiatrist about my OCD.
Just finished a YouTube video for my Johnny Cash inspired tune, Mom Worked the Farm. Click on the title to view it. We had a blast recording it at the second name on the hat's (Bob & Tom) backyard, with the talented NYU grad, Sam Griswold, directing.
Excess in Moderation and Reindeer Games are albums of mine from the mid-nineties. I finally got the record company's permission to put both of these albums up on the iTunes Store. I was never really happy with the original Excess in Moderation cover so I begged my brother James for the piece of artwork I used. Not bad, eh? You can preview full songs in the Store section of the website.
Both of these albums were produced around the same time by Philly's David Ivory and were a blast to record. We would switch from some of the darker material like Say It's Alright, to more lighter fare like Let's Put Christ Back In Christmas, without blinking an eye. In hindsight, the serious nature of 80% of Excess in Moderation was a little tough for some folks to take, seeing as I was a full-time comedian when it was recorded. However, Philadelphia Enquirer music critic Jonathan Takiff said this about the album… "It's not easy to be both profound and funny, but Godwin does the trick often." No, I didn't pay him to say that (I had compromising photos).
Click on this, John, Paul, George, Ringo, And Me (with an intro by Sir Paul McCartney), for a free download of one of the more popular songs from Excess In Moderation. Paul was accidentally asked a question about me from the late-great Scott Muni on WNEW. I was working for their sister station at the time, WMMR, and we sent the question about me to Scott as an inside joke. He wasn't supposed to ask it… oops!
I unearthed some video from my first year on the road, sometime around 1995, and posted 2 clips to my YouTube page. One of the songs, What Is That Thing? (The Aaron Neville Song) was played a lot on The Howard Stern Show at the time. Check out my crazy David Cassidy hair flipping out from under my baseball cap and my neophyte swagger.
As always you can go below to Audio Downloads or to the Store section for some free songs. My tune, "Cest La Vie", just took 2nd place honors in the International Songwriting Competition, so you may want to have that on your iThingy!
You can listen to me every Wednesday at 9:45 AM on the 2 Guys Named Chris Show on Rock 92 in Greensboro, NC. Check their show out on the TuneIn app on your smartphone.

What Ronald said, and two other little things -
When loading the holders, wear a plastic apron or lab coat, or something that is not cotton, to minimize your own lint. I made this change in the 70's working in graphic arts transferring large film images, and it made a real difference.
Turn off the air cleaner when you get ready to load holders to minimize air movement in the room.
The earlier comment about humidity is helpful too. You can load film anywhere that is dark, so if you have a space in your basement (if you have one) or some such place higher in humidity, it will help minimize static electricity. I have used a bathroom in the past (some don't have a window, so it's easy to light-proof) and control humidity with the shower.
OK, three things.

NWO : The Rise of the Fourth Reich
- Uploaded by Isotrop on Oct 18, 2012
- Views: 1294
Journalist and author Jim Marrs discussed his new book The Rise of the Fourth Reich, which posits that Nazi ideology threatens to overtake America. This authoritarian ideology-- that the end justifies the means, is practiced by various secret societies" sometimes called the Illuminati, who function within the US as well as globally, he explained. A number of powerful and wealthy families in America supported the Nazis leading up to WWII, and these same families own media conglomerates and corporate entities that exist today, he detailed. As many as 100000 Nazis were brought over to the US after the war-- some sharing their advanced technology in programs such as Project Paperclip, in exchange for immunity, said Marrs. He described technology such as the Nazi Bell, a large conical shaped device with rotating magnetic fields which allowed for the manipulation of energy at both the atomic and subatomic level. This may have been the same technology used in the Philadelphia Experiment, he noted. The Nazis had flying saucer technology on the drawing board as well, he added. Marrs estimated the Illuminati are about 75% on their way to executing their plan of microchipping and controlling the world's population. In his 2008 book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America, Jim Marrs argues that some surviving members of Germany's Third Reich, along with sympathizers in the United States and elsewhere, given safe haven by organizations ...

I love the look of deep concentration on his face. This man looks like a real character and you've captured him well, the composition is quirky, I like that he's slightly off set and the chess pieces in the foreground work well.
The only thing I would change is the use of colour, in my opinion mono works much better for these types of images. I've done you a mod converting to mono and sharpening up the face to bring out the wrinkles.

The yacht flying the burgee of Yacht Club Costa Smeralda is all set to battle it out on her home waters for the Audi TP52 World Championship.
Azzurra - 2014 TP52 World Championship
The Audi TP52 World Championship, also counting as the second stage of the Barclays 52 Super Series, gets underway tomorrow, June 10th. Azzurra, the reigning vice-champion, is currently holding the second place in the provisional overall leaderboard, after the circuit's opening event in Capri.
The nine competitors held today their practice race under very light and unstable wind conditions. This pattern will persist during the first part of the event while the Mistral could kick in towards the end of the week. For this reason, the coastal races have been brought forward to the first three days, while the culmination of the event will see the TP52 fleet compete in the windward/leeward races that require a more stable breeze.
This is what Azzurra's skipper Guillermo Parada stated ashore after the end of the practice race: 'The Audi TP52 World Championship starts tomorrow on Azzurra's home waters with a coastal race which is a completely different game from today's windward/leeward practice race. We are, obviously, excited to race on Costa Smeralda's waters and we feel ready. Vasco arrived just yesterday but we are a well-oiled machine working together and that is perfect!'

It's wild here in the West. All because of how California Gov. Jerry Brown is trying to finesse the immigration issue.
Brown just signed three bills intended to empower illegal immigrants - giving them driver's licenses, allowing those who graduate from law school to obtain law licenses, and reining in the degree to which local and state police cooperate with federal immigration agents. But the governor vetoed another bill that would have allowed legal residents who are non-citizens to sit on juries.
According to my scorecard, Brown was correct on three out of four. He was right on driver's ...

29 Nov 2012 Accountancy Age
By Richard Crump
LIMITED CHANGES to international accounting rule governing the classification and measurement requirements of financial instruments have been proposed by the IASB.
The global standard setter is proposing changes to IFRS 9 as part of a wider project with US counterpart FASB to reform accounting rules for financial instruments.
The IASB published new classification and measurement requirements for financial assets in 2009 and for financial liabilities in 2010. However, in January 2012 the IASB decided to consider limited amendments in order to clarify a narrow range of application questions, reduce the differences with FASB's model, and take into account the interaction between the classification and measurement of financial assets and the accounting for insurance contract liabilities.
The IASB said changes were kept to a minimum because IFRS 9 is "fundamentally sound" and some entities have already adopted, or prepared to adopt, the standard as previously published.
"We were clear when IFRS 9 was introduced in 2009 that it would be necessary to consider revisiting the interaction between IFRS 9 and the insurance contracts project once the insurance contract model was developed sufficiently," said Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the IASB [pictured]. "In addition, this limited-scope review has given us an opportunity to propose aligning IFRS and US GAAP more closely, in this important area of financial reporting."
The exposure draft, which is open for comment until 28 March 2013, proposes the introduction of a fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) measurement category for debt instruments that would be based on an entity's business model.
Some financial assets that an entity previously expected to measure at amortised cost under the existing IFRS 9 model may have to be classified in this new category, which could increase volatility in reported equity and, for financial institutions, regulatory capital.
"The new category will be welcomed by many in the insurance industry, as it is intended to dovetail with the IASB's tentative decision that changes in insurance liabilities driven by changes in discount rates also should be excluded from P&L. However, the debate will continue as to whether the IASB has found the best overall package to try to minimise accounting mismatches," said Chris Spall, partner in KPMG International Standards Group.
"Companies, in particular financial institutions, should start re-looking at their financial assets and at how the proposed amendments might impact them. Although these amendments are labelled 'limited', they could have far-reaching implications for an entity's financial reporting."

IMF Releases Updated Global Standards for External Debt Statistics
Press Release No. 14/240
May 22, 2014
The IMF has released the 2013 External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users (2013 EDS Guide), which contains updated global standards for the compilation, reporting, and analytical use of external debt statistics. The 2013 EDS Guide was prepared under the responsibility of the nine organizations in the Inter-Agency Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS), in close consultation with national compilers of external debt, balance of payments, and international investment position statistics.1
The 2013 EDS Guide reflects the significant developments in international finance since the issuance of the 2003 EDS Guide. The 2013 EDS Guide provides guidance on (1) the concepts, definitions, and classifications of external debt data; (2) the sources and techniques for compiling these data; and (3) the analytical uses of these data. The concepts set out in the 2013 EDS Guide are fully harmonized with those of the System of National Accounts 2008 (2008 SNA) and the sixth edition of the IMF's Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6).
The 2013 EDS Guide provides guidance for the measurement of external debt statistics that can be applied consistently across the different sectors of an economy and across the different debt instruments. It also provides standards for compiling and analyzing data highlighting an economy's potential vulnerabilities to solvency and liquidity problems arising from its external debt position, such as data on debt-maturity profiles, currency breakdowns, short-term remaining maturity, and nominal and market valuations of debt securities. In addition, the 2013 EDS Guide explains the concept of net external debt—that is, a comparison of the stock of external debt with holdings of external financial assets of similar instrument type—and incorporates financial derivatives and contingent liabilities positions into external debt analysis.
The 2013 EDS Guide is available in hardcopy in English, with publication in other languages─Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish─ underway. The 2013 EDS Guide can be ordered in hardcopy through the IMF's online bookstore. The PDF format is available free of charge and may be downloaded at: http://www.tffs.org/edsguide.htm.
1 The TFFS is chaired by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and its member agencies are the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the Commonwealth Secretariat (ComSec), the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission (Eurostat), the IMF, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Paris Club Secretariat, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the World Bank.News Source : IMF Releases Updated Global Standards for External Debt Statistics

Turtlehead Peak
Turtlehead Peak trail starts at the Sandstone Quarry Trailhead. Turtlehead Peak is one of the most popular hiking spots in Southern Nevada due to it's close proximity to Las Vegas. The peak features sweeping views of Las Vegas, the La Madre Mountain Range, Red Rock Canyon and Blue Diamond Hill.
Turtlehead Peak is a stunning example of older limestone rock that's been thrust above younger sandstone layers, part of a series of thrust faulting events that occurred throughout western North America 65 million years ago.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area: Over one million people each year come to experience Red Rock Canyon's 195,819 acres of desert beauty, towering sandstone cliffs and abundant wildlife. Scramble across fossilized sand dunes, climb sheer rock walls, or just enjoy the scenic beauty along the road. Rock climbers always dot the cliffs in this world-class climbing area.

Webcam offers footage of Fox Chapel Area High School construction
Residents who are interested in following the Fox Chapel Area High School construction can get updates at their fingertips thanks to a webcam installed at the site along Field Club Road.
The equipment is fixed on the new natatorium, across from the athletic fields and tennis courts.
It takes a photo of work every 15 minutes.
"The installation of the webcam is a great way to keep the public updated on the progress," District Coordinator of Communications Bonnie Berzonski said.
The district's website, www.fcasd.edu , offers a time-lapse video of work that has been done over the last several weeks.
To access the webcam, visit the website, click the construction link and then click high school.
The building will look much different when students return to the classrooms next month after summer break.
Construction that kicked off in spring is moving along at a rapid pace, with the pool demolished, the auditorium gutted and the library windows and floors replaced.
The school board approved more than $30 million to be poured into the 53-year-old school along Field Club Road as part of a district-wide construction project that will last three years.
"Our contractors have been very busy," Berzonski said.
Projects over the summer have included a new roof on the auxiliary gym and auditorium, a new concrete floor poured in the library, window frames and a door in the library, and ceiling tiles in the music corridor near the auditorium.
The upcoming schedule includes painting the gym, excavating an underground retention tank and completing the pool caissons.
"We anticipate that the interior work on the auxiliary gym will be done by sports camps, which start near the beginning of August," Berzonski said.
Work in the main gym will be completed by the beginning of the school year, she said, as well as extensive work in several restrooms and in the library/media center.
Ongoing renovations will continue on the pool area and the auditorium for the next several months.

Minor league baseball: Salt Lake loses two close games in playoffs at Omaha
Omaha • The Salt Lake Bees' amazingly competitive run through the Pacific Coast League playoffs ended with two agonizing losses Wednesday at Werner Field.
Omaha's Brian Fletcher blasted a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Storm Chasers a 2-1 victory in Game 2 of their PCL championship series against Salt Lake.
In Game 1, which was suspended Tuesday night by rain, Ben Broussard's RBI single in the eighth inning lifted Omaha to a 3-2 victory.
Counting their first-round series over Las Vegas, the Bees have played six straight one-run games. But they now need three straight victories in the best-of-five series with the the Storm Chasers.
Game 3 is Friday night at Spring Mobile Ballpark.
"... We're all right," said Salt Lake manager Keith Johnson. "We've got a lot of fight in us. All year we've been doing it at home so now we have our backs up against the wall. It's our turn to go home and try to get it done."
After managing only one hit in the first three innings of Game 2, the Bees took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Efren Navarro singled and went to second on a wild pitch. He moved to third on an infield out by Roberto Lopez and scored on Scott Cousins' single to center.
The Bees nursed their lead into the seventh inning, when the Storm Chasers finally broke through.
With two on and one out, reliever Fernando Cabrera replaced Salt Lake starter Tommy Hanson. Omaha's Rey Navarro greeted him with an RBI single to tie the game.
That set the stage for Fletcher in the ninth. His opposite field homer to right field on a 1-1 pitch from Salt Lake's Chad Cordero put the Storm Chasers in command of the series.
" ... Obviously we would like to be on the winning side of a one-run ball game," Johnson said. "But it is what it is Cardiac Kids, I guess."
When Game 1 was stopped in the second inning after a weather delay of almost three hours, it was tied, 1-1.
After play resumed Wednesday afternoon, the Bees' Luis Rodriguez led off the top of the fourth with a home run.
Salt Lake maintained its 2-1 lead until the bottom of the seventh, when Omaha's Manny Pina doubled home a run. Orlando followed with a base hit, but Cousins threw out Pina at the plate from center field to retire the side.
The Storm Chasers followed with the go-ahead run in the eight off Salt Lake reliever Dustin Richardson. Broussard's RBI single put them in front and the Bees went down in order in the ninth.
"Our guys battled, but we just came up a little short," Johnson said. "[Omaha] found some holes there late ... [and] we just weren't able to overcome it."
O Omaha takes a 2-0 lead in the PCL championship series with a pair of wins over Salt Lake.
• Brian Fletcher's ninth-inning homer gives the Storm Chasers a 2-1 victory in Game 2.

1995 Saturn Other
I can step on the brake with both feet as hard as I can without locking a wheel or causing the ABS to engage. The ABS light shows normal operation (performs self-test upon turning on the ignition switch). Two mechanics connected scan tools to the system and told me there are no stored codes. The car has new pads and rotors. The calipers were all checked and the system bled. Can it be a mechanical failure of a solenoid causing this symptom? Could the ABS pistons be stuck in the wrong position? My mechanics suggests I just live with it, but why have ABS brakes that do not work?

ABS will do nothing if the brakes themselves can't lock the wheel, it sounds to me like you have either the wrong calipers or pad material on the car! Pull your ABS fuse and see for yoyrself. Will the brakes lock up with the fuse pulled? If not, it's the normal brake system at fault.

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
19 Feb 2010 13:42 GMT | Arts & Culture, Lebanon
Often mislabelled as a punk rocker, British singer-songwriter Ian Dury was almost indescribably unique.
The film Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll portrays the life of Ian Dury, with a phenomenal central performance by serial scene-stealer Andy Serkis.Serkis even performs many of Dury's classic tunes with his original backing band, the Blockheads - including Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 3, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, and of course, Dury's signature tune that both defined and satirised an era: Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.
Andy Serkis and screenwriter Paul Viragh join Amanda Palmer, Al Jazeera's head of entertainment, and the FPS audience for a family-friendly Q&A about Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.
No One Knows About Persian Cats
Ghobadi knows of these dangers first-hand. His co-writer on Persian Cats, the American journalist Roxana Saberi, was arrested and imprisoned in 2009 on charges of espionage, only to be released on a suspended sentence just two days before the screening of the film at the Cannes Film Festival. Saberi was not just Ghobai's co-writer; she is also his fiancée.
Ghobadi speaks to FPS about all this and more, as we preview this absorbing and hot-topic new film.
It's getting hot in here - inside the Israeli tank in Lebanon
Lebanon, the much-lauded new film by Israeli director Samuel Maoz, follows in two fine traditions.First, it evokes the tense and claustrophobic atmosphere of Das Boot, the gripping 1981 German film set almost entirely within a World War II submarine. Lebanon, which won the top prize at the last Venice Film Festival, takes places entirely within the confines of a disabled Israeli tank trapped behind enemy lines during the 1982 Lebanon War.
The film also follows in the tradition of some superb recent Israeli films directed by military veterans about the trauma of the long-running Lebanon War: Beaufort (2007) and Waltz With Bashir (2008).
FPS speaks to Maoz about his surprise win in Venice and the need to dehumanise oneself in order to survive battle.

CarGurus http://www.cargurus.com Anonymous bought one because:
These were actually my last 4 cars. The STS was great, bought it with 30k or 40k on it, traded it in at 100k when I bought a house on a hill and needed AWD. The CTS was garbage. I shopped around maybe a dozen CTS's and maybe of them I test drove had loud interior noises, bad struts and wheel bearings which should have been a sign of things to come for me. I found one that was clean and quiet at the time I got it, but the interior creaking started soon after. The cheaply assembled interior made it hard to hear music or talk to other passengers, the car was incredibly underpowered, no better than 17mpg in the summer or 14mpg in the winter assuming I used cruise and didn't make extra stops on the way home from work. Additionally, every other week, something broke and cost me $300-400 at my local shop (dealer prices in some cases would have been well over double that). I had no choice but to get out of this car, I couldn't afford to keep throwing money at it, in addition to leaking water through the sunroof which the dealer couldn't fix in ten attempts! GM should have been allowed to fail, they cut so many corners on this car. Worst car I've ever owned and I would never buy another. The Charger R/T had a v8, had excessive power, got me 20-22 all year round, was more comfortable. I bought it from a dealer who really messed some things up (replaced the thermostat, didn't bother replacing lost coolant so it overheated on the way home. Plus the prior owner probably trashed the car pretty badly. Removed the ABS fuse to turn the service ABS light off) and the car was probably trashed pretty badly and it nickel and dimed me, so I figured it wasn't worth what I was paying for it, traded it in (broke out even). Bought a 2007 Acura RL which was actually in much better condition than the Charger. Although on paper it has less horsepower than the CTS (I had the more powerful 3.6L DI engine in the CTS) and is only 10lbs lighter, it is ever so much faster. The brakes are also powerful enough to stop the car coming down my hill, unlike the CTS which would roll out into the adjacent street if I let it reach 10mph or faster coming down my hill. It also has the best stock audio I've heard in a car (which isn't much compared to aftermarket). It was Bose like the Cadillacs, but fewer speakers. The 15 speaker systems had blatantly boosted upper mids and lows and no low mids and were rather imbalanced and thus vastly inferior to the cheaper 10 speaker system.

Design and comfort
probably the MPG, but it's SH-AWD, so expect to pay more for the gas
Got An Rl? — The most comfortable and expensive car I have ever own. It's quite inside and you can hardly hear the engine noise. I'm quite satisfied with the performance. It takes us anywhere we want. The design is beautiful and curvy :) The only thing I hope they can improve for future RL is the MPG. The quality is very solid and dependable.

Am I not correct in this? A simple yes or no is the correct answer and I know which answer it is and so do you.
