The argument that OK managment failed its share holders for not waiting for the markets to pick up before selling makes no sense in this case.
FR have offered 13% of itself for 100% of OK. One could argue that FR is even more undervalued than OK. If FR had waited another six months they may have been sitting at $30 per share, would that have made the deal any sweeter??

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Charlotte and Raleigh have been named as two of the top 10 cities in the nation with the most new residents after adding thousands of people to their city limits.
U.S. Census estimates released Thursday show that Charlotte added 17,471 people between July 2006 and July 2007. Raleigh added 15,148 people in the same span. Those figures ranked the cities ninth and tenth overall in numerical growth, behind larger cities such as San Antonio, New York and Phoenix.
Houston added the most people nearly 39,000.
The Raleigh suburb of Cary ranked as the fifth fastest-growing city on a percentage basis. New Orleans grew at the quickest pace in its recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

Rocky VanValkenburg, left, turns to apologize to robbery victims seated in the courtroom Monday. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
- Filed Under
On May 19, Rocky VanValkenburg called some friends and pointed out a car near the intersection of St. Clair Street and Hudson Avenue.
VanValkenburg and the group of friends he had called pulled one of the two people in the vehicle out. They demanded money from both men while members of the group were beating them with their feet, fists and a piece of wood.
Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Chris Reamer and VanValkenburg's attorney, Kort Gatterdam, jointly recommended that VanValkenburg be sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to one count each of aggravated robbery, a ...

- While living in exile in London, author Andre Laurie, pseudonym for politician Paschal Grousset (1845-1909), wrote the original version of the book which was later published as The Southern Star Mystery (1884). Andre Laurie legally renounced title to the story, rewritten and published by Jules Verne. Andre Laurie and Jules Verne would collaborate on at least two other novels. It was a strange collaboration, Andre Laurie being politically a long way to the left of Jules Verne.

The Greatest Game: The Montreal Canadiens, the Red Army and the Night That Saved Hockey
"Simply put, this is one of the best hockey books written since Ken Dryden's The Game and Dryden and Roy MacGregor's Home Game."
—Toronto Sun
"You can feel the tension, sense the drama, almost see the brilliance taking place on the Forum ice."
— Montreal Gazette
"Denault's amazing research creates a real gem of a text as he looks at the state of hockey at that time. This is a great history text that offers so much more than just a look at a single match of hockey."
For many hockey fans, the mere mention of the 1992-93 season and the playoffs that followed elicit both powerful and still-vivid memories, more so than any other NHL season in recent memory. Two decades later that extraordinary season is fondly remembered as the year that Mario Lemieux, the sport's most dominant player, courageously conquered his greatest opponent yet—cancer—and still emerged as the NHL's Most Valuable Player. For Wayne Gretzky, the greatest player in hockey history, the 1992-93 season began with him on the sidelines, his unparalleled career in doubt, and ended with him summoning all his skills and prowess for one last glorious run at the Stanley Cup. In Toronto, 1992-93 represented a rebirth, as the Maple Leafs, led by a determined Doug Gilmour, took their long-suffering fans to the verge of the unthinkable. Down the road, the Montreal Canadiens fashioned the most remarkable spring in their incomparable playoff history, on the shoulders of their extraordinary goaltender, Patrick Roy.
Featuring interviews with Wayne Gretzky, Patrick Roy, Wendel Clark, and more than one-hundred other players, coaches, executives and media members, and based on extensive primary research, Todd Denault expertly chronicles all the action, the controversy, the record-breaking performances, and the memorable moments that made up the unforgettable 1992-93 NHL season. The story that emerges is of a year quite unlike any other in hockey's long history, in which the unexpected and the improbable came to pass. A remarkable season that saw greatness confirmed, magnificence affirmed and where legends were born.
A Season in Time.
Praise for Todd Denault's previous books
Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed the Face of Hockey
"In this engaging bio Todd Denault tells the story of a trailblazer."
— Sports Illustrated
"Jacques Plante was an innovator, a difference maker and a different person, and this book has captured the essence of one of the greatest goaltenders ever."
—Scott Morrison, hockey journalist and Executive Producer of Hockey at Rogers Sportsnet
"A well-researched and thorough examination of the life of an extraordinarily talented hockey player and complex man."
—Al Strachan has been writing about the NHL for more than 35 years and is the co-author of Don Cherry's Hockey Stories and Stuff
"This is a long overdue examination of one of hockey's pivotal players and most colourful characters—but Todd Denault has made the wait worthwhile."
—Roy MacGregor, Globe and Mail columnist and bestselling co-author of Home Game (written with Ken Dryden)

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- The City Council amended the city's charter Monday night to allow city employees and officials to do business with the city.
The city's charter, which was created in 1962, does not allow the mayor, any member of the City Council or city employees to sell any property or products to the city. City Manager Steve Horton said the change to the charter would bring it in line with state law that permits public employees to participate in these activities.
Now employees and elected officials can engage in sales of personal property of less than $200 per calendar quarter; participate in the sealed competitive bid process; and sell real property to the city so long as public and timely disclosure of the official's or employee's stake is made.
Newton County resident Chris Jueschke spoke in opposition to the change at Monday's meeting, saying it was akin to weakening anti-corruption and conflict of interest policies.
"If an office holder is allowed to benefit financially from city contracts, no one knows if their allegiance is to themselves or the city," he said.
Regardless of the intentions going in, Jueschke said business deals sometimes go sour, and if that happens, he worries an employee's job may be at stake, or a council member's judgment regarding other matters may be undermined.
Horton said he initiated the investigation into whether the city's charter was consistent with state law.
"Some of our folks that work here have advised me there have been times when they've had to buy things at stores and they couldn't shop at stores run by city employees or elected officials. Their perception was they could have bought them cheaper if they bought in those stores," he said.
"We try to press the Buy Local campaign as much as we can. Obviously, sometimes we do have to buy outside, but if we're going to buy local, we feel like we should have all options available at our disposal," he added.
Horton said he understands Jueschke's concerns, but noted that the annualized sealed bid process set up by the state guards against anyone having an unfair advantage.
"Everybody bids at the same time and the bids are opened at the same time. It's hard to rig things where somebody knows the pricing to that end. I think it gives everybody a fair chance," he said, noting that sealed bid openings are always conducted at public meetings. "If I find out that somebody is doing something to ensure somebody gets a bid over another person, they won't be here the next day. The integrity of the organization is vital."
The change to the charter was approved 5 to 1 with Councilwoman Hawnethia Williams opposed.
In other news, the City Council approved the final reading of an ordinance amendment that allows the use of bows and arrows in the city.
The council first discussed the issue in July when Covington resident and former director of the Wildlife Resources Division of the state Department of Natural Resources David Waller asked council members to consider allowing residents to use bows and arrows to help thin a growing deer population.
Waller said the increase in the number of deer in the city is beginning to cause problems for homeowners who are seeing their gardens and landscaping decimated by the animals. However, more serious issues could be on the horizon, including higher instances of deer-related vehicle collisions and deer ticks infecting people and pets.
Bow hunting is not allowed within 100 yards of a dwelling, even if the hunter has permission from the owner to hunt on the property, which is also required. Only licensed hunters are permitted to hunt deer during bow hunting season, typically between September and January.
Williams was the only dissenting vote. She has opposed the proposal all along, saying she is concerned that the safety of residents will be compromised.
Staff Correspondent Aimee Jones contributed to this story.

text: Cop to See Baby He Saved 20 Years Ago Get Married Yonkers police captain will attend nursing grad's Aug. 17 wedding By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Aug 11, 2014 12:13 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (18) (Newser) – For Yonkers Police Capt. Joseph Barca, Dec. 28, 1993, is a date that will forever stand out in his mind—it was the day he helped resuscitate a "lifeless" baby who had mucus obstructing her tiny airway, reports the Journal News. Now Aug. 17, 2014, is another date that will always hold a special place in Barca's heart: It's the wedding day of the girl he saved. Barca and his wife will attend Sunday's nuptials of Shammarah Hamideh, now 20 and a recent nursing school grad. When Barca responded to the 1993 emergency call, he found Shammarah's distraught father holding the 2-month-old, who wasn't breathing. His quick actions got air into her lungs and kept her blood flowing; she was breathing on her own by the time she arrived at the ER, notes Barca. Since that fateful day, the Hamideh family has called Barca Shammarah's "American father," and Shammarah tells the Journal News how "sweet" the officer is. "He's very considerate," she says. "Every year on my birthday, he sends me a birthday card and check. They treat me like I'm their daughter." In this 2013 photo downloaded from the Yonkers Police Department Facebook page, Shammarah Hamideh poses with Yonkers Police Capt. Joseph Barca at her engagement party.

This is NOT a general 3.96b ABX results thread. This is just for people to post (any) samples which regress from 3.90.3. This means that I only want cases where 3.96 is WORSE than 3.90.3.
Please try to keep this on-topic. The idea is that if this thread stays empty, we should push for 3.96 to become official. And if it doesn't stay empty, samples will help the LAME devs with future versions.
Any and all settings are fine... just make sure you post how you encoded it, and link to samples.

I hope more people start ABXing samples, even the same ones I did. I'm just one particular set of ears, testing specific time intervals of a few sampless. It's possible that I would have heard improvements instead of regressions, had I picked other one-second snippets of each sample to analyze! There's not enough information in this thread to absolve nor condemn 3.96b1.

I just copied this from the thread i introduced these samples. If you heard the problems once, it is easy. If you want to spot the problem easier for learning try to disable -Z again or use pure 3.90.
I call this distortion sandpaper noise.
Cool thing, you try so much!
Well, I just got these new headphones, so I'm having a bit of fun comparing my ABX scores to the ones I got with my old headphones in previous ABX tests. Two years ago, I wrote down for the Birds sample "successful ABX (barely)", and that's how well I'm doing now, hovering between 5% and 1% pval. Interestingly enough, I got the same score for Garf's underwater love sample this time (15/20) as I did when he first made it available!

[New Zealand] Starsailor: "Coldplay Are Too Apologetic"
Despite their successful musical trajectory and chart-topping albums, Starsailor have always shied away from the glamour of the music industry.
So it's not odd then that when I speak to the band's vocalist, James Walsh, there are cooing sounds in the background coming from his 3-month-old son.
The English rock band are touring South Africa as part of an exchange with the UK, known as the Powerzone Unplugged Festival.
"I'm very excited. South Africa is one of the few territories that we've not had the chance to visit yet. Anyone that's ever been there speaks very highly of the crowds out there and the beautiful weather."
The band will play alongside The Parlotones over the next three weeks, who in return will play with Starsailor for their 2009 UK tour.
"I went to see The Parlotones at a gig in London. They were good fun. The singer explained that he was a big fan and in the next few days the tour was tentatively agreed. The performance was energetic is the word that springs to mind."
The ardent Liverpool FC supporter was happy to announce that during the tour, the band will participate in a charity football match in Alexandra, where they will not only play in the match, but also perform an acoustic concert afterward.
As to whether they're decent football players, Walsh replies: "Uhm, we're not bad, we're half decent, not decent. I'd say our bass player would say he's the best. If we go down well in South Africa, maybe we'll come back for the opening ceremony of the World Cup," he jokes.
"When we do the football match, Vusi Massasella? Mahlasela? (much trouble with his surname), he's going to play with us on that day as well."
After a three-year wait, Starsailor will release their new album, All the Plans, in February next year. It was produced by Steve Osborne, who worked with them on their debut album, Love is Here, and it features Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones) on guitar.
"It's more of a return to our original sound. There are a lot of really good ballads on it there. Our last album was more of a rock record, whereas this is back to the acoustic, piano-driven, emotional sound."
Starsailor were one of the first bands to pioneer the sound that was later adopted by Coldplay and Snow Patrol. I ask how he feels about that. "In terms of Coldplay, to be fair, they came out around the same time. It would be rude of us to say you copied our sound," he laughs. "But Snow Patrol, if you've heard their early records, it's very different to the sound of their last couple.
"I think they've taken a bit of Coldplay, a bit of Elbow, and maybe a little bit of our sound and used it to make successful music, so yeah, good luck to them."
So you don't think Chris Martin deserves to be punched in the face or anything like that? He laughs and answers definitely not. However, "my only complaint about Coldplay is that sometimes they're a little bit too apologetic.
"They should just enjoy their success and their fame and not worry so much about what the critics think. I think they're a bit paranoid."
With regards to the death of the indie rock scene at the moment, he replies: "I think it's pretty exciting at the moment that bands like the Tings Tings have come out with a refreshing sound compared to all the white boy rock. It's good to see that strong female voices are coming to the fore again.
"Shame about Amy though, but at least we've got Duffy and Adele to keep us going while she gets her act together."
He admits, though, that currently he loves the new Fleet Foxes album. And with that he adds: "I'd better carry on dressing this little baby boy." Sweet.

As I've said before, the critics need to be ignored.
The album sales, sell-out concerts worldwide and all the awards and accolades speak for themselves.

Resolved questions
What should I do at the beginning of learning German? Please give me some advice~Thanks!
I just start learning German and have no idea for how to learn it. Please give me some advice~~ Thanks :)
Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters.
Sort by:
I would start with the gender and plural of the german words and the basic structure of the german sentence. After that I'd take on regular verbs and their conjugation for each person.
I think you should not start learning grammar rules in the beginning. Learn a lots of sentences which you use in daily use with correct pronunciation. Do not start writing and building sentences because it will confuse you. Listen to audio and watch videos even if you do not understand. If you hear a new word check its meaning in the dictionary or ask your language partner.
I don't really understand this question since there are manny manny manuals on the net which are completely for free. If you use them you don't have to bother with what you should start because you just stick to the manuals structure and you make shure that you learn in an organised way without missing anything. And in the same time you work on your pronunciation by skyping with language partners.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Lostnmissing, Inc, Londonderry, NH, USA
I'm not going to personally attack Cynthia Caron, but I will question many of her choices in the Jennifer Ramsaran case. Her decision to spend most of her time defending Ganesh instead of actually doing something for Jennifer was a very poor one. It's difficult to help "so many" families with missing members if you're on the internet all day everyday ranting on people who only want to see Justice for a woman who did nothing wrong other than to be murdered by her husband in cold blood.
This case is much more personal for my wife and I. WE WERE JEN'S FRIENDS. WE KNEW HER FOR 20 YEARS. You've never met her, but assumed that everything the husband told you must be the truth. Mistake #2. If you had backtracked in Jan/Feb and said "ok, listen, I'm not going to continually defend Ganesh when we should be trying to find Jen. THAT's the important thing here." Didn't happen. Instead, Jen is dragged through the mud by her husband in the media. Did you ever question why he sat at home everyday while total strangers were looking for Jen?
You need to lay off the people who are upset on the J4J page. Those people have had to put up with a lot of threats (mostly from your organization), and silence (mostly from you deleting any comments where Ganesh's actions were questioned).
You cannot threaten anyone with fear tactics anymore. You have no more bargaining chips left. Your last one is sitting in a jail cell. It would be best if you just shut it down and walked away. You leave them alone.....they'll leave you alone.

Review for Lostnmissing, Inc, Londonderry, NH, USA
It's sad that LnM's employee's have to write reviews of their own organization just to try to keep up their "rating". Perhaps they were a great and helpful organization to other families, but not to the family of Jennifer Renz Ramsaran. Well, they were very nice to the missing victim's husband, and took every word of his as gospel. Cynthia Caron spent more time on Websleuths and Facebook constantly defending Jennifer's suspected husband than anything else. It's a shame she wasn't helping familes actually find missing people. I know she didn't help them here.
From day 1, she became the husband's public relations rep, and because SHE "ruled him out", based on ONLY information that he gave her, he must not have had anything to do with her disappearance. His alibi has so many holes in it, not to mention his affair, which Cynthia tried to downplay as a "one-time tryst".
Because she took everything he said as fact, she tried to get the mother of the victim to announce that Jennifer was mentally ill and ran off on her own. The poor victim's mom had to block Cynthia from her FB page the harrassment wouldn't stop. Not to mention that EVERYTHING Joann Buff states in her review from earlier this March is absolutely true.
Instead of doing the right things to find Jennifer, Cynthia, on top of defending the husband and deleting ANY FB comments that posted an opinion that differed from hers, thought that posting Jen's likes and dislikes would be helpful to find her. She doesn't like condiments on her hamburgers and only drinks water with lemon? Excuse me while I alert CNN.
Cynthia also took the time to TRASH the MISSING PERSON. She left her 3 children on her own right before one of the kid's birthdays and right before Christmas? She hung out near local druggies so she must be a druggie? She was on her phone all the time so she must have met up with someone online and just DITCHED her kids?
The way you represented yourself and your "organization" in this case was absolutely deplorable.
You did nothing but dishonor Jennifer, her memory, and her family. It is the hope of everyone that you cease discussing the case that you are no longer a part of, and stop threatening people with lawsuits for posting their opinions. There's nothing you can do now to stop Remy from going to prison for the rest of his life. You bought his story and now you're going down on a sinking ship. It's a shame and while I would normally feel very sorry for you, I can't because of what you and Remy put Jennfer's family through. "No prayers. Never."

GM Holden Says Labor Costs Must Be Cut to Save Australia Plants
General Motors Co.'s Holden unit and its labor unions will begin talks to reduce costs enough to keep its Australian plants viable, a month after Ford Motor Co. said it will stop making cars locally.
"Every single option is on the table," Mike Devereux, Holden managing director, told reporters in Melbourne today in response to a question on possible wage cuts. "Our employees will be presented with a very difficult decision, I know that, but it's also one that I believe can help save the industry of making automobiles in this country."
Holden said it will cut about 400 jobs in Australia, blaming the strong local currency and devaluations in competing markets for making its local plants among the world's most expensive. Devereux said it costs about A$3,750 ($3,570) more to produce a car in Australia than at other GM plants.
"If you want to build anything in this country, you do face significant cost penalties," he told reporters. "The goal is to make labor-related cost savings."
Australia's three carmakers have struggled as a 13 percent rise in the local dollar against the yen over the past year stoked sales of cheaper imported vehicles and cut exports. Japan's Toyota Motor Corp. is the largest manufacturer of cars in Australia.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's government has set aside A$5.4 billion until 2020 to support the car industry. Purchases of locally made cars fell 18 percent in the past four years, according to Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries data.
Ford Australia plans to cut 1,200 jobs from its two plants in Melbourne and Geelong by October 2016 after costs rose to double those in Europe and four times those of its Asian divisions, the company said last month.
"Holden is committed and remains committed to building cars here," Devereux said, reiterating a May 23 statement after Ford announced its cuts. "We believe it has a crucial and strategic importance to the Australian economy. But we also recognize that there's a need to improve our competitiveness."

Bodies removed from Lanseria wreckageComment on this story
Pretoria - Rescue workers extracted bodies from the wreckage of a light aircraft that crashed at Lanseria International Airport, north west of Johannesburg, on Monday morning.
Three people were on board the Beechcraft King Air BE90 twin-engine aircraft when it crashed on landing.
The covered bodies were taken out of the wreckage and placed on stretchers before being loaded into mortuary vans.
Emergency workers drilled and cut through the plane using the jaws of life to get to the bodies.
Lanseria Airport manager Gavin Sayce said the private aircraft crashed on landing, and all three occupants were killed.
"Something happened and it crashed on landing. It was flying in from one of the local airports," he said.
Airport spokeswoman Claudette Vianello said the rainy weather could have contributed to the crash.
"Speculation is that it was due to the weather," she said.
Officials confirmed that all three were South Africans.
Planes continued to take off and land at the airport on Monday despite the crash.
Speaking at a breakfast briefing in Johannesburg, Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba sent condolences to the families of the victims.
"Our sympathy to the families, even though we do not know what happened yet. We send our condolences and hope God will comfort them," Gigaba said.

I am in.......
I watched and listened to the speech tonight and I was thinking I am all about this and then BAM public option, now I am out. Don't go getting all out of sorts because I would like to say a couple of things, first I do think every US citizen should have the ability to get health care. I dont know how they are going to do it but I do not like the Idea of the government being in the health care business. I am now on medicare and it sucks people it flat out sucks. I used to have a savings account now I dont and want to know what I thought about when he talked of public option? My daughter who is still in school and I pay for her health care and it is about 200.00 a month, what do you think I will do when the government comes out with the low cost insurance? I am going to get her on that and the chain starts. The public option is ripe for abuse and they could do it in another way, I heard some people talking about opening up the insurance so they can go to ANY state, this makes sense to me this would bring down prices and hopefully keep us out of the Health care business. I do feel a little bit better about the whole thing but I dont know how they can stop the abuse of a public option and if they cant you have to know it will become just another form of Socialized medicine. Hey maybe they will put some restriction on who can get on it, I hope so. On a lighter note I thought it was so funny when Obama brought up tort reform and you could just see all the democrats getting all scared, I mean they are so far up the lawyers asses they will fight reform to the bitter end. I dont know if that was funnier than the republicans looking sideways and talking out of their asses because anybody with half a brain knows they are in the pocket of the insurance industry. I wonder why we are having trouble getting anything done. I do agree with some of the people talking on cnn about the "you have to have insurance deal" isn't that against the constitution or are we doing away with that? Obama talks so purdy........ Thanks for reading Bohank

Specifying Systems: The TLA+ Language and Tools for Hardware and Software Engineers
This book is the distillation of over 25 years of work by one of the world's most renowned computer scientists. A specification is a written description of what a system is supposed to do, plus a way of checking to make sure that it works. Specifying a system helps us understand it. It's a good idea to understand a system before building it, so it's a good idea to write a specification of a system before implementing it. The most effective tool to describe a specification is the Temporal Logic of Actions, or TLA, because it provides a mathematical, i.e. precise, foundation for describing systems. TLA+ is the language the author developed to write the mathematical specifications. TLA+ is available freely on the web. It can be used for both software and hardware. In fact, Intel is using TLA+ with great success in the design of a new chip. The book is divided into four parts. The first part contains all that most programmers and engineers need to know about writing specifications. The second part contains more advanced material for more sophisticated readers. The third and fourth parts comprise a reference manual for TLA+ - both the language itself as well as its tools.

text: 177 FXUS63 KLMK 262008 AFDLMK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 308 PM EST THU NOV 26 2015 .SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)... Issued at 255 PM EST Thu Nov 26 2015 In the near term, skies have remained partly to mostly sunny across the region. This has led to a mild Thanksgiving day with highs the mid-upper 60s. There have been a few 70 degree readings out to our west and we could top 70 here at SDF in the next 1-2 hours. Dry and mild conditions will continue into the evening hours with temperatures falling into the mid-upper 50s. For tonight, another dry night is expected as the latest suite of guidance has continued to slow down the eastward movement of the approaching weather system. For this reason, have backed off PoPs in the west and have lowered cloud cover amounts in most areas...especially the east. We`ll likely see a gradient of overnight low temperatures with upper 40s to lower 50s in the east and lower 50s from I-65 and points west. On Friday, the slower movement of the frontal boundary to the east will result in some changes to the ongoing forecast. It is likely that areas east of I-65 will remain pretty much dry throughout the day on Friday. A strong gradient of precipitation looks to develop out to our west, with generally slight chance to chance PoPs in areas west of I-65. In fact, the highest PoPs on Friday would likely be contained to the Pennyrile region of KY and points west. Therefore we have backed off PoPs a bit in this forecast issuance. We also backed off the cloud cover as well. This has a net result in warmer temperatures because of the lesser amounts of clouds and precipitation expected. Highs on Friday look to warm into the lower 60s across our far NW with mid-upper 60s elsewhere. The warmest areas will probably be along and east of a line from Lexington to Bowling Green. By Friday night, the frontal boundary looks to nose a little more toward the east. Current thinking is that expansive precipitation shield to the west will march eastward overnight. Highest chances of precipitation look to be in areas generally west of I-65 with lesser chances as one heads eastward. We have slowed the precipitation expansion to the east a bit more than in the previous forecast, while increasing our PoPs across the far west and northwest sections. A southwesterly surface flow will keep temperatures mild with lows only cooling into the upper 40s to the lower 50s. .LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)... Issued at 307 PM EST Thu Nov 26 2015 As we head into the middle of the holiday weekend, aforementioned frontal boundary will sink southward into the Ohio Valley and then stall out across the region through Sunday. As this occurs, a deep moisture plume, courtesy of the subtropical jet will feed a steady stream of moisture into the region. Instability and forcing are expected to remain marginal for thunderstorm development. Main forcing here is isentropic in nature. That combined with well above normal for late November PWATs (1-1.5 inches) will result in moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall. With this said, we plan to go with higher PoPs in this forecast for Saturday through Sunday night. Highs Saturday will likely top out int he low-mid 50s in the north with upper 50s to around 60 in the south. Sunday`s highs will be cooler with the frontal boundary pushing a bit further south. We could end up with a bit of a gradient on Sunday depending on the frontal position. For now, have gone closer to the SuperBlend guidance here which results in lower 50s across the north and mid- upper 50s across the south. Overnight lows through the period will be mainly in the 40s. As we head into next week, the upper flow will flatten out a bit across the Ohio Valley as faster flow pushes into the desert southwest and begins to kick out the upper low in the intermountain west. As the upper low rolls eastward, we`ll see another surface wave of low pressure develop to our southwest and move northeastward through the area. This feature will bring more clouds and continued precipitation chances through Tuesday. Instability and forcing with this secondary system still looks marginal and thunderstorm risks look very low at the moment. For now, plan on continuing at least likely PoPs going through Monday night with diminishing PoPs from west to east during the day on Tuesday. Temperatures are not really going to show much diurnal variation through the period with highs generally in lower 50s with overnight lows in the upper 40s. As for total QPF with this system, there is not much change in the QPF fields through Tuesday with this forecast. Current forecasts suggest 1.5 to 3 inches of total rainfall through Tuesday. This rainfall, falling over a rather extended period should preclude any water issues. However, rises on area lakes and streams looks likely early to the middle part of next week. By midweek, closed low pressure system aloft will likely roll eastward and to the south of a mid-level positive height anomaly over Canada. This would generally result in a track from the Midwest into the interior Northeast and we should see temperatures come back down to seasonal early December levels for Wednesday and Thursday. A secondary mid-level wave over the central Plains looks to close off and head eastward by late week. This may result in a secondary system developing to our south and east as suggested by the last few Euro runs. The GFS is showing its typical bias of over powering the northern stream and resulting in more zonal/progressive flow over the eastern US. We`ll have to watch this secondary system for additional development. Colder than normal temperatures do not look likely during this period as the EPO is expected to go positive again and the zonal flow across the western US allows mild/modified Pacific air to flow across much of the CONUS. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)... Updated at 1145 AM EST Thu Nov 26 2015 Plan on VFR conditions through the period as region will remain in south/southwest flow ahead of an approaching cold front. Gusty winds this afternoon will slacken off toward sunset, but remain in the 5-7 kt range through the overnight. Expect scattered/broken mid clouds at times, becoming thicker toward the end of the period. Precipitation is expected to hold off until after 18z at LEX/BWG. At SDF, rain showers will be approaching from the northwest, likely not reaching the terminal until 21z. && .LMK Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && $$ Short Term........MJ Long Term.........MJ Aviation..........ZBT

"Mister" Spock, Scott, Chekov and Sulu?

Re: "Mister" Spock, Scott, Chekov and Sulu?
SchwEnt wrote:
Based on current tradition then, Spock shouldn't have been called "Mister" at all and yet he always was.
Technically yes, but Spock's rank was kind of squishy for a while. Plus it had been "Mister Spock" clear back to the early drafts when he was a lieutenant, so it probably never occurred to anyone.
Still seems odd to me, when the rest of the crew called him "Mister Spock", especially lower ranked officers like Chekov and Kyle and Sulu. Hell,
called him "Mister Spock".
To have an ensign call a commander (XO no less) "Mister" seems inappropriate.
Well, maybe Starfleet's tradition was that all officers but the captain could be called "mister." If it's appropriate to address a lieutenant commander that way, being incorrect for the next grade up seems kind of arbitrary.
