How to save human civilisationThu, 14 Mar 2013 1:55 PM
It's not too late to avert a climate crisis but "pervasive human short-termism" makes it highly unlikely that society will do so in the next 40 years…
According to Jorgen Randers, leading economist and professor of climate strategy at the BI Norwegian Business School, although the technologies exist and the costs to do so are not exorbitant, the world's leaders are incapable of taking the necessary action to secure a more sustainable future for human civilisation.
"Although it is relatively cheap — if humanity chose to use available technologies to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses the cost would amount to one or two percent of GDP — it is still more expensive than doing nothing," said Randers. "Human short-termism therefore prevents us from doing anything. It is difficult to get people to make sacrifices today for an uncertain future."
Randers was speaking at a forum organised by the University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership South African office in Cape Town this week on his forecasts for the next 40 years of human civilisation.
It is a future that he describes as "not rosy".
"Although the world's population and economy will grow more slowly in the next 40 years than most people expect — it will still be fast enough to trigger a climate crisis," said Randers. He said that although this may not be dramatic, it will make human life on this planet extremely uncomfortable.
In this world, growth in population and GDP will be constrained by rapid fertility decline as a result of increased urbanization. There will be a decline in productivity and continuing poverty among the poorest two billion world citizens. Consumption will stagnate because society will have to spend ever more on repairing the damages wrought by climate change and adaptation strategies.
Randers is no stranger to forecasting. As co-author of the famous 1972 book The Limits to Growth, he participated in one of the most ambitious forecasting exercises of the last 40 years, creating 12 scenarios for what the planet might look like 100 years into the future. Although the book became a best seller, it was widely criticised. However, almost all the predictions that it made have since come to pass.
Randers said he was tempted into embarking on this second forecasting exercise, published in his new book 2052: A Global Forecast for the Next Forty Years, partly for selfish reasons. "I wanted to know what the world would look like as I get older," and partly because he "couldn't resist the temptation to deliver a final kick in the ass to society in the hope that this might move them to do something".
"We already live in a manner that cannot be continued for generations without major change. Humanity has overshot the earth's resources, and in some cases we will see local collapse before 2052 — we are emitting twice as much greenhouse gas every year as can be absorbed by the world's forests and oceans," warned Randers. "Action is necessary, it is desirable!"
According to Randers the kind of action required is "extraordinary". "Ordinary action won't work, it has already been worked into my scenarios," he said.
He presents five such extraordinary actions that could work if they were implemented urgently including:
- Introducing a one child policy in rich nations;
- Banning fossil fuel use in the rich world;
- Helping the poor with clean energy;
- Tempering short-termism by establishing a supra-national institution with powers to implement the necessary changes; and lastly
- Establishing new goals for rich society for well-being in a world without growth.

Soccer can be a pretty grueling game, even for the professionals who train extremely hard to be prepared to run upwards of 5-10 miles in a given game. Sometimes though those training measures aren't enough as we can see with the New England Revolution's defenseman Kevin Alston who finds himself puking on the field.
I couldn't disagree MORE STRONGLY with the announcer though; that is GREAT television.

In the meantime, here's the list of folks who've gotten it just since 2008 -- the ones referenced in our original story from last week.
How about the ESI's that were supposedly approved for my mother and her 2 co-workers in 2007? Just wondering. These people have been playing games LONG before the Matt Hennessy story came along.
Although most of the people listed probably got their ESI's for doing work beyond their job (which is also common in the private sector), some are ridiculous. There is no reason department heads, who will already be getting INSURANCE FOR LIFE and a pretty pension should not be getting any extra for doing their jobs. Come on people, aren't projects part of the job? Jim Keaney getting $18,000, Eric Jackson another $7,000 and Pat Campbell another $10,000.
I am sure that in each case the projects they accomplished were completed on the backs of their staff. In the case of MHIS, city employees were able to get ESI's while the board of ed employees sitting next to them were not?
In these tight times ESI's should only go to rank and file who go beyond their job AND due to extra hours worked. Salaried employees should be exempt.
Hey Jeff, since you were able to get the 2009 and 2008 list will you be able to get the 2007's list? Personnel told these employees that it was approved but they've never saw a dime!
That's what we're working on. We're still waiting for the city's response.
What a laugh, my kids were laid off after giving in to union concessions and now I see this list of names who received these bonuses! What a sad joke. I am ashamed of our elected officials and will work hard to see them removed from office

Sucker Punch exec: PS4 is 'right on edge' to hit 1080p at 60fps in games like 'Infamous: Second Son'
Studio exec from Sucker Punch forecasts that Sony's PS4 will only get better with time.
Sucker Punch Studios is well-acquainted with the PlayStation 4; the team has spent months crafting one of the console's most anticipated exclusives with Infamous: Second Son, and in that period they have learned quite a bit about Sony's next-gen console.
The development process has gleaned a multitude of information for countless studios–from indies to mainstream and AAA–and the PS4 has been praised almost unanimously for its power and versatility. As time goes by and devs understand the console's architecture and apply methodologies and strategies, they may very well be able to harness the full potential of the PlayStation 4 to deliver even more immersive gaming experiences.
Sucker Punch co-founder and studio head Brian Fleming thinks this will come sooner than later. In a recent interview with DualShockers, Fleming was quoting saying that the PS4 is "right on the edge" to delivering consistent in-game frame-rates/resolutions of 1080p/60fps for intensive games like Infamous: Second Son.
Right now the high-profile PS4 exclusive currently hits 1080p at 30fps, which is perfectly adequate for an open-world game of this nature–but Fleming is confident that developers will be able to push the console farther as time goes by. He further noted that studios may be able to tap these values while not having to sacrifice visual fidelity and maintain a steady flow of higher-end graphics.
Fleming also said that the studio was able to hit 60 fps in various parts of the game, but Sucker Punch wasn't able to lock that high of a consistent rate on the PS4.
Even now development studios (such as Sucker Punch) are tapping the PS4's resources to bring to life amazing games that shine in both performance and visuals, and we can only speculate on the future of next-gen where frame-rates and resolution are able to be balanced more accordingly.
We may assume that higher-profile exclusive games like Infamous: Second Son go farther in unlocking the system's potential, but every developer, big or small, contributes to "solving" the enigmatic console. It may be a little while before devs are able to hit those ratios consistently (or perhaps it can't be done on a continual basis), it will be interesting to see the results along the way.
Infamous: Second Son is poised to spearhead Sony's title roster for the next few months, and it only takes one look at a gameplay trailer to see the accomplishments made by Sucker Punch. The game will release on March 21, 2014 exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

'Christianity Is My Spiritual Home'
Jane Fonda talks about how she is 'riveted' by faith and why she believes feminism is what Jesus taught.
From her longtime political activism to her Oscar-winning acting, Jane Fonda has never done anything halfheartedly, and she brings this characteristic intensity to her faith. When she talks about "feeling the presence of the Almighty," her view of Jesus, and the way she prays, her voice wells from deep within her chest. You may know this voice from her films (among dozens of others: "Barbarella," "Klute," "On Golden Pond," and currently in theaters, "Monster-in-Law"), or from her aerobics videos ("feel the burn!"), or from film reels from the sixties, when she spoke out against the Vietnam War. Fonda, now 67, spoke with us recently about her spirituality.
Read Beliefnet's complete interview and listen the audio excerpts below.
Jane Fonda talks about:
Beliefnet: Although you didn't identify with a particular religious path until recently, your book seems to tell the story of someone whose spiritual consciousness has been developing her whole life. You were raised as an agnostic, or an atheist?

Denver police say gang activity may have been the motive behind a fatal shooting that left five wounded, including Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter over the weekend.
The 28-year-old man killed in the shooting had a history of gang activity with several arrests. Police say it looks like Porter was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Porter played for Colorado State University and was in Denver for the annual game between Colorado State University and the University of Colorado. The Steelers expect Porter to recover and will not put him on the injured reserve list.

Cool off in the Mist of Our Waterfall
It's well worth the effort to get to the foot of Hickory Nut Falls, the second highest waterfall of its kind east of the Mississippi River. The falls can be reached by taking a gentle walk via the Hickory Nut Falls trail to a platform at its bottom. It's a cool, refreshing stop and a "must see" during your visit to Chimney Rock.

Strange behaviour In my fish tank.
In my tank at the moment I have some platies and danios. The last 2 days ive watched some strange behaviour ive never seen with fish before ? maybe its just a platy thing but I don't know. Well first i noticed one of the pregnant females doing back flips like she'd swim up to the corner of the glass then sort of back flip off it and she would do this over and over then sort of go into a spazum and carry on doing it again and again. I watched for a while and then she stopped but after that one of my zebra danio females started doing the same thing in the same place (?). Today when i came back from work i went to feed them as normal and ive noticed one of the males (100% sure its a male) is huge like fatter than the pregnant female ? it looks like hes swallowed a marble, why could this be ? Then i noticed one of the other female platies doing the same back flippy thing in the corner today ?
Is it possible they see something outside of the tank they are trying to get?
Sounds "fishy" to me!
[The perticular corner is facing a wall so I sdont think they could see anything ? Its so strange because its just females doing it and they all do the same thing. I've owned fish for years just not platies and danios and I've never seen this before !
Posted via Mobile Device
Have you been cleaning your tank? How often? Do you use a gravel vacuum? What are you feeding your fish? This sounds like some kind of bloat to me. This could be caused from many things.

Pixel aspect ratio and frame aspect ratio
Pixel aspect ratio (PAR) is the ratio of width to height of one pixel in an image. Frame aspect ratio (sometimes called image aspect ratio or IAR) is the ratio of width to height of the image frame.
A 4:3 frame aspect ratio (left), and a wider 16:9 frame aspect ratio (right)
Most computer monitors use square pixels, but many video formats—including ITU-R 601 (D1) and DV—use non-square rectangular pixels.
Some video formats output the same frame aspect ratio but use a different pixel aspect ratio. For example, some NTSC digitizers produce a 4:3 frame aspect ratio, with square pixels (1.0 pixel aspect ratio), and a frame with pixel dimensions of 640x480. D1 NTSC produces the same 4:3 frame aspect ratio but uses nonsquare pixels (0.91 pixel aspect ratio) and a frame with pixel dimensions of 720x486. D1 pixels, which are always nonsquare, are vertically oriented in systems producing NTSC video and horizontally oriented in systems producing PAL video.
If you display nonsquare pixels on a square-pixel monitor without alteration, images and motion appear distorted; for example, circles distort into ellipses. However, when displayed on a video monitor, the images are correct. When you import D1 NTSC or DV source footage into After Effects, the image looks slightly wider than it does on a D1 or DV system. (D1 PAL footage looks slightly narrower.) The opposite occurs when you import anamorphic footage using D1/DV NTSC Widescreen or D1/DV PAL Widescreen. Widescreen video formats have a frame aspect ratio of 16:9.
Note: To preview non-square pixels on a computer monitor, click the Toggle Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction button at the bottom of the Composition panel.
Square and nonsquare pixels
If a footage item uses nonsquare pixels, After Effects displays the pixel aspect ratio next to the thumbnail image for the footage item in the Project panel. You can change the pixel aspect ratio interpretation for individual footage items in the Interpret Footage dialog box. By ensuring that all footage items are interpreted correctly, you can combine footage items with different pixel aspect ratios in the same composition.
After Effects reads and writes pixel aspect ratios directly from QuickTime movies. For example, if you import a movie captured as widescreen (16:9 DV), After Effects automatically tags it correctly. Similarly, AVI and PSD files contain information that explicitly indicates the pixel aspect ratio of the images.
If a footage item does not contain information that explicitly indicates the pixel aspect ratio of the image, After Effects uses the pixel dimensions of the footage item frame to make a guess. When you import a footage item with either the D1 pixel dimensions of 720x486 or the DV pixel dimensions of 720x480, After Effects automatically interprets that footage item as D1/DV NTSC. When you import a footage item with the D1 or DV pixel dimensions of 720x576, After Effects automatically interprets that footage item as D1/DV PAL. However, you can make sure that all files are interpreted correctly by looking in the Project panel or the Interpret Footage dialog box.
Note: Make sure to reset the pixel aspect ratio to Square Pixels when you import a square-pixel file that happens to have a D1 or DV pixel dimensions—for example, a non-DV image that happens to have pixel dimensions of 720x480.
The pixel aspect ratio setting of the composition should match the pixel aspect ratio of the final output format. In most cases, you can simply choose a composition settings preset. In contrast, set the pixel aspect ratio for each footage item to the pixel aspect ratio of the original source footage.
Trish and Chris Meyer provide tips and tricks regarding pixel aspect ratio in two PDF documents on the Artbeats website:
Chris Pirazzi provides technical details about aspect ratios on his Lurker's Guide to Video website.
Upgrade pixel aspect ratios to correct values
After Effects CS3 and earlier used pixel aspect ratios for standard-definition video formats that ignore the concept of clean aperture. By not accounting for the fact that clean aperture differs from production aperture in standard-definition video, the pixel aspect ratios used by After Effects CS3 and earlier were slightly inaccurate. The incorrect pixel aspect ratios cause some images to appear subtly distorted.
Note: The clean aperture is the portion of the image that is free from artifacts and distortions that appear at the edges of an image. The production aperture is the entire image.
The BBC provides technical details and guidelines on the BBC website regarding dimensions and aspect ratios for PAL video, including an explanation of the discrepancy in pixel aspect ratios. The same concepts apply to NTSC video.
Chris Meyer explains why the corrected pixel aspect ratios are better and how some workflows are affected in the "New Pixel Aspect Ratios" video in the After Effects CS4 New Creative Techniques series on the Lynda.com website.
Pixel aspect ratio values in After Effects CS4 have been corrected as follows:
This discrepancy is limited to these older, standard-definition formats for which clean aperture differs from production aperture. This discrepancy doesn't exist in newer formats.
New projects and compositions created in After Effects CS4 use the correct pixel aspect ratio values by default.
Projects and compositions created in After Effects CS3 or earlier are upgraded to use the correct pixel aspect ratios when these projects are opened in After Effects CS4.
Note: If you have a custom interpretation rules file, then you should update it with the correct pixel aspect ratio values.
If you use square-pixel footage items that are designed to fill the frame in a composition with non-square pixels, you may find that the change in pixel aspect ratios causes a difference in behavior between After Effects CS4 and earlier versions. For example, if you previously created 768x576 square-pixel footage items to use in a PAL D1/DV composition, you should now create those items with square-pixel dimensions of 788x576.
Composition settings presets for square-pixel equivalents of standard definition formats have changed as follows:
Change pixel aspect ratio interpretation for a footage item
Change pixel aspect ratio for a composition
Common pixel aspect ratios

Chuck Episode 4.20 Review: A Mediocre Episode, But Linda Hamilton Prevails
Avatar and Game of Thrones references included, last night's Chuck was quite entertaining.
Confirming that Vivian (Lauren Cohan) was not a killer proved to be quite a challenge for Chuck (Zachary Levi) after getting played by Alexei Volkoff (Timothy Dalton). The decisions that General Beckman (Bonita Friedericy) and those above her have been making regarding the team's cases has been highly questionable this season. The entire team thought so this week when Beckham released Volkoff from being imprisoned for the case at hand. What a brilliant decision that turned out to be. After Chuck's life was almost gambled upon a game of UNO (classic moment for the writers), Volkoff turned on Vivian, and Vivian worked with him only to play him as well…that left only one winner tonight…Vivian. Now that there is no doubt of Vivian's ability to kill and with the knowledge of her now going after Agent X, expectations are high for the showdown in the last few episodes of the season. Though the writers have been more heavy on the dramatics than the comedic elements this season, so hopefully there is a more even balance before the season's end.
With Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) discovering more and more from her father's laptop and becoming a spy in her own right, it's about time the family secret be completely exposed to the only family member who is clueless. Watching Ellie lie to Chuck about her findings hurt more than words can explain. Now is not the right time to lose trust in Chuck or her mother. Curiosity killed the cat so it would be an unforgiveable act for Chuck and Mary (Linda Hamilton) not to fill Ellie in on their job descriptions before a moment comes when their jobs put her in danger.
Now the episode may have been titled, "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff," but there were more plot points to be shared. Instead of catching all of the odd activities taking place at Buy More, Chuck was surprised with pre-nup papers to sign and Casey (Adam Baldwin) continued to repair his relationship with his daughter, Alex (Mekenna Melvin). The pre-nup story line was very clever indeed. A moment like this was important to share since it is after all one of the few incredibly significant moments in the preparation for marriage. But that wasn't what made this moment worth sharing. Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) never did see Chuck's initial reaction to the pre-nup papers. What she saw caused her to fish for Chuck's feelings and thoughts on the matter. Usually, Chuck is the one fishing feelings out of Sarah, so seeing these habits reversed was entertaining. Moments when Sarah is flustered and curious about someone's thoughts are few and far between, so this was something to savor. Chuck's own unique version of a pre-nup was sweet too, though Sarah does need to have more faith in Chuck understanding the relationship that she has with her father.
Speaking of father-daughter relationships, Casey seems to be repairing his with Alex. Hopefully, it continues to grow even after the two reveal to Casey's ex and Alex's mother that he is still alive. The dynamic between Casey and his daughter has been set, but once Alex's mother comes into the picture, who knows which way she will sway. Waiting for such emotional moments like this to unfold make the drama on this show so significant for a show that usually seems like a one hour spy comedy…which isn't a bad thing!
However and perhaps because of the lack of comedic genius that Chuck usually showcases, "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff" was not exactly a stand out episode. Still, Linda Hamilton is always a joy to watch on screen and if you're not bored with the Volkoff story line, Timothy Dalton was also a pleasant treat this week. "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff" did provide a smooth set up to the final episodes of the season and that is worth watching.
Watch Chuck Mondays at 8/7c on NBC.

CLEVELAND - Wednesday night will be the last, best viewing opportunity to see the International Space Station over northern Ohio until June.
Cleveland State University Professor Jay Reynolds tells the Weather Warriors Blog that after this Friday the path of the space station will no longer bring the station close enough to northern Ohio to see for several weeks.
Mainly clear skies this evening will offer the best viewing opportunity beginning at 8:40 p.m. when the space station rises in the northwest sky. The station will then pass almost overhead at a distance of 278 miles and appear to pass by the Big Dipper constellation around 8:42 p.m.
At 8:45 p.m., the station will disappear to the east, southeast as it heads out over the Atlantic Ocean.
Reynolds says there will be another shorter viewing opportunity about 90 minutes later at 10:17 p.m.. However, the pass will be very low in the sky and last only two minutes.
Here is the information for the final four passes of the space station until June...

U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Greg Brannon (R-North Carolina) released the following statement regarding the October 16th Senate vote to increase the debt ceiling:"The deal that was struck last night gives President Obama carte blanche authority to increase our national debt and does nothing to address out-of-control federal spending.
Daily Haymaker
GOP drama. What difference does it make?2016-Apr-20Not gonna work Mr. Governor2016-Apr-13Consider this whenever you pay your light bill2016-Apr-11A failure of leadership2016-Mar-09These conservative candidates could change the NC House2016-Mar-02Tillis comes around on filling Scalia's seat2016-Feb-23More...
During their time in office, President Obama and Senator Hagan have mortgaged our children's future by adding over $6 Trillion to our national debt.If elected, I will not support a debt ceiling increase unless it includes real spending reform such as the elimination of our economy's biggest threat, Obamacare."
Apparently, Richard Burr thinks keeping The New York Times happy IS more important than saving the country.As the US Senate voted 81-19 to shove a knife in the back of American taxpayers, Richard Burr took one more swipe at people like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee who valiantly tried to put the brakes on a runaway train:[...] Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina took a swipe at his fellow Republican senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, as well as House members who linked government financing to defunding the health care law, which is financed by its own designated revenues and spending cuts."Let's just say sometimes learning what can't be accomplished is an important long-term thing," Mr. Burr said, "and hopefully for some of the members they've learned it's impossible to defund mandatory programs by shutting down the federal government."The media and the Washington establishment have touted the Senate spending vote as a grand compromise. Let's see what we got: a debt ceiling increase through mid-November and a blank check for the federal bureaucracy through January. Spending is increasing and the debt is growing. The Democrats and Barry got what they wanted. And we'll be right back here in this same position in mid-November AND January. *TALK about profiles in courage.*We've got $17 trillion in debt, and DICK Burr wants to add to it. There's no interest in following the budgeting requirements laid out by The Constitution. There's no interest in reducing our debt for the sake of future generations.This is the latest stab in the back DICK Burr has subjected us to. He's voted for gun control, for women in combat, and for gays in the military. He's voted multiple times to keep the runaway spending train speeding down the track. When Rand Paul was standing up for us in his filibuster earlier this year, ol' DICK was out being wined and dined by Barry at a posh DC restaurant. How is this any different from what Senator Erskine Bowles or Elane Marshall would have given us?DICK told us that trying to defund ObamaCare was "the dumbest idea" he'd ever heard. (I'm sure he's heard dumber things hanging around with John McCain and Lindsey Graham.) Big Barry liked that quote from ol' DICK so much that he used it in speeches to beat down Ted Cruz and Mike Lee's valiant efforts.When it came time to stand up for the American people, and take a stand against out-of-control government spending and indebtedness, Burr stood with his buddies in Washington. It's not about serving the folks back home anymore. He has visions of chairmanships, VP nominations, and a fat K Street paycheck dancing in his empty head.DICK Burr is useless. He's a disgrace. He is government waste and overreach

Best Linoleum Floor Cleaner
Did you know that the best linoleum floor cleaner will not bring back the shine to your linoleum floors?
Do you have linoleum in your home? If you do, it might be old—or it might be very old! You may not realize that linoleum was first introduced 150 years ago. We associate it mainly with the 1940s and '50s—just before the introduction of vinyl flooring—but linoleum was actually patented in 1860 as a cheap substitute for a more expensive rubber composition called Kamptulicon. It became commonly used in Victorian homes, so if you have linoleum, it may be a few decades old, or a lot older. And you might be wondering how to clean it and make it shine again.
So what's the best linoleum floor cleaner? First try just plain warm water. Avoid harsh cleaners because they remove not only the dirt and grime, but eventually, the surface of the floor as well. Detergents will leave a film. For a more thorough cleaning, add vinegar to the water; vinegar is safe for linoleum floors, although not for hardwood or bamboo. Finally, you can try adding a small amount of dish liquid to warm water.
The best linoleum floor cleaner by itself will not keep your floors looking clean and shiny. However, if you treat your floors with a floor restorer after cleaning, you will have clean and shiny linoleum floors for months. Pro Shot® Floor Restorer is economical, easy to apply, dries to a high sheen in about 30 minutes, and is UL-listed for slip resistance. It fills scratch marks and protects the floors from spills and black heel marks. Pro Shot® contains no petroleum, so there's no offensive odor or smelly fumes.
Remember, always follow the best linoleum floor cleaner with the best linoleum floor restorer, Pro Shot® Floor Restorer, and your floors will shine for months.

Vinny Curry makes case for more playing time
There is no data to display.
What must Eagles improve on vs. Denver?
Vinny Curry had constant pressure on Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith in Week 3, Curry's first game of the year. (USA Today Images)
Vinny Curry tried something new during the Eagles' four-day break. Something he hasn't had to do in a while.
He let his body heal.
Curry, last year's second-round pick, was active Thursday night for the first time this year and made the most of his first regular-season snaps since December, with his first NFL sack, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hurry, a tackle in the run game and a pressure that resulted in a holding call on Chiefs guard Jon Asamoah.
All in the span of just 12 snaps.
Where's this guy been all year?
"I felt like I did some things well, and there were some other things that I wish I had done better," Curry said. "I did what the coaches asked. Overall, I think I played really well. I know what I have to work on, and I'm just going to continue to work as hard as I can to get better."
Curry was active over undrafted rookie Damion Square, who had just one tackle and nothing else on his stat line in 25 snaps in the Eagles' first two games.
The Eagles lost Thursday night to the Chiefs to fall to 1-2, but Curry was one of the bright spots.
"It definitely felt great to get out there and run around and try to make some plays," Curry said. "The other guys were really excited for me, and that got me even more excited."
Following three games in 11 days, head coach Chip Kelly gave the players Friday through Monday off.
The team reconvenes at the NovaCare Complex Tuesday and flies to Denver on Saturday to face the Broncos on Sunday at Mile High Stadium.
Kelly acknowledged Curry's production against the Chiefs but came up short of saying he'll stay in the rotation.
"I think Vinny did a really nice job rushing the passer," Kelly said. "And that's what Vinny has done. He's continued to develop. I was happy to get him out there. I thought Vinny did some nice things."
Curry was inactive the first 10 games last year but played well later in the year, after Todd Bowles replaced defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and gave him a chance to get on the field. He got 88 snaps on defense over the last six weeks, or about 15 per game.
And he was productive in the preseason, with 1½ sacks and consistent pressure.
So why did it take him three games to get on the field?
"We have great coaches, and they had a plan for me, and that was to start to ease me in a little bit and see how it works," Curry said. "They didn't want to just throw me out there."
Common sense says Curry did enough to earn more playing time. But common sense also said he should have been on the field the first 2½ months of last year and the first two weeks of this year.
Curry said one thing he's learned over the past year is how to handle the ups and downs of being in the NFL. Active one week, inactive the next.
"Last year, I was a rookie, and it was all new to me," Curry said. "This year, I'm a second-year player, and you know how to handle certain things better.
"You learn that you can only control what you can control. The coaches are doing what's best for the team, and all I can do is work hard, continue to compete and prepare each week."
Of the 63 players taken in the first two rounds in last year's draft, only three have played fewer games than Curry: Chiefs receiver A.J. Jenkins (six), Broncos backup quarterback Brock Osweiler (five) and 49ers running back LaMichael James (four), who played for Chip Kelly at Oregon.
Curry said he's not taking anything for granted. Just because he was active for the Chiefs doesn't mean he'll be active for the Broncos.
"I haven't heard anything yet," Curry said. "Just keep working and see what happens. That's all I can do."

Have you found an answer to this? I have had this exact same problem and have had difficulty finding any responsible Adobe reply. I've seen this problem cited in other places, but not as clearly as you have here. Why does Adobe avoid answering this question???? Perhaps the solution is something they want to be paid for in order to provide. I'm one small customer but it sure would be good to see them taken to task publicly for their arrogance and unwillingness to support their customers for subscriptions to their software which they have already purchased.

I figure this loss would be fixed with the update, but perhaps not. I've heard from a few folks that the update actually caused Pro to crash and malfunction. I just think Adobe wishes Widows would die so they could focus on Mac alone.

Is the file that is reported with issues different everytime?

It's not the same file every time for me, but that may be because I would try to allow access to the specific file cited between tries.
I got a similar error trying to download the Adobe Reader update today.
I did not have McAfee installed when I first reported this problem in September 2012. However a free version of McAfee subsequently got loaded (when I neglected to turn off a default when downloading an update for something else!) and it was there for today's Reader installation problem. I have since uninstalled McAfee, so if it was the culprit perhaps I'll get the Reader updated successfully the next time around.
The ability to "print" to a PDF disappeared from several apps for me as well, including Adobe's InDesign. Adobe seems to want you to use their add-ons to "create" a PDF rather than use the print option.
I haven't tried to allow the Adobe Acrobat (10.1.3) to run since January:
Maybe I'll try again next time to see if perchance time heals all wounds...

This is a followup post -- I went to the Adobe site and instead of trying to download the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3 update, I selected 10.1.5, released January 9, 2013. (Curiously, 10.1.3 wasn't even in the list of available updates, although a release from 2011 was.) I got the dreaded 1310 again:
but notice that this time there's a Retry button! I selected Retry and the update proceeded, although I got the same error for different file within a few seconds. After hitting Retry for at least a half dozen files (I neglected to count) the installation setup completed.
So I would advise anyone having problem with the Acrobat 10.1.3 update to skip it and try 10.1.5 instead.
I also was able to get through the Adobe Reader XI update (via the Adobe site) with no problems. It would be ironic if McAfee caused the Reader update problems, since the Reader download is where the free version came from!
I also notice that Adobe PDF shows up as a printer selection in both Reader, Acrobat, InDesign, and Word. So I'm a pretty happy camper at this point.
I'm considering this a closed issue. Thanks for your interest and feedback!

It is interesting, but the AA 10.1.7 update is apparently cummulative. On the Adobe update site it says good for AA 10.0 or later! Don't see this often. In fact I did a check and found that only the 10.1.2 and 10.1.6 updates of the 10.1.x series required the prrevious update for AA 10. Not sure why you had the problem with 10.1.3 (and it is in the list at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows).

I guess I didn't look hard enough for the 10.1.3 update on the Adobe site -- I stopped at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/?promoid=JZEFW once I saw that there was another update for Acrobat X.
I think I'll wait to see if Adobe prompts me to download 10.1.7 and see what happens!
9. Re: Acrobat Updater (10.1.3) fails Windows 7 64-bitepullin9142012 Jun 12, 2013 7:56 AM (in response to Bill@VT)
I guess I spoke too soon! I got an Adobe Acrobat Updater notification and gave the okay to install the update. It was not identified with a version number. It took an incredibly long time to install, but in the end I got the dreaded 1310 error again
There was no "Retry" option available.
Here is the helpful solution available via the Details link:
I did verify that I now have Acrobat X Version 10.1.5 so at least I'm further along than I was a year ago. When I recover from my disappointment, I'll try downloading 10.1.7

UK Law
Ask an UK Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
What visa have you been on?
How long have you been in the UK?
Did you already apply for ILR and this was refused because of a gap between visas of two months?
When did the 2 months gap occur please? Specifically, when did the gap in your legal right to remain cease?
Private contact between experts and customers is prohibited I'm afraid, you can simply reply to this thread once you have tracked it down.
Thanks for your Question.
The UKBA a permitted to refuse an application for a ILR on the basis of a gap of length, so I should think the more prudent application would be for you to apply to extend your current visas. They will certainly reject an application for ILR because they have obvious grounds to under the Immigration Rules.
The gap where you visited Philippines recently would not itself prove a problem in applying for ILR when you have the requisite 5 years provided you have not spent more than 90 days outside the UK in any 12 month period.
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom
Thanks for your accept.
You will be eligible to apply for ILR when you have complete 5 years continuous residence from the date your visa following the gap, so I make that 5th February 2012 (assuming you otherwise meet the criteria for ILR).
You should therefore make your application shortly after this time but BEFORE your current visa expires.
Thanks for your accept.
Kind regards,
Hi Tom,
Its me again Rodin sorry for my late reply Iam on night duty so you mean to say I can apply for ILR before 5th of febuary 2012? I have the English test alreadyI passed it but not sure if that test has an expiry?
By my calculations you can will meet the 5 year criteria on 5th February 2012 and can apply then.
I must confess that I do not know whether the language test has an expiry, all of my cients have taken it immediately prior to applying. I shouldn't have thought so, on the basis that it is highly unlikely that a person's english skills would deterioate over that time.
You should check with the test provider.

An interesting conversation with my mother
In a recent conversation with my mother, I tried to explain the value of a smart meter and usage monitoring to her. It was a fascinating conversation that went absolutely nowhere. My mother is as prudent and environmentally aware as anyone can be. She grows many of her own vegetables, rarely wastes any resources and is of a mind that compels her to leave the planet to future generations in better condition than when she arrived here. Such a person should be chomping at the bit for a smart meter and related usage monitoring technology, shouldn't she? Not so much, it turns out.
She is not a highly sophisticated technology user, but she harbors no phobias of technology either. She welcomes new technology into her life when it makes sense and, like most of us, sometimes gets frustrated with learning new ways of doing things. But, she does have two computers and a wireless network and gets better at technology every day. Several months ago, she moved much of her banking online and, although initially frustrated with having to remember more passwords, has since come to enjoy the accessibility it provides. In short, there is every reason to believe she would welcome smart meters and load monitoring technology into her life, yet she doesn't. But, why?
It turns out that practicality trumps technology for her. Her view is that she doesn't need technology to tell her that an older refrigerator is less efficient than a new one, that leaving lights on unnecessarily wastes energy or that adjusting the thermostat will help conserve energy. She gets all of that in a "no-duh" kind of manner, as perhaps we all should.
In her view, such technology is not a prudent investment for utilities or consumers, unless an individual is unable to recognize and act on their own consumption patterns. After all, do we really need to be told by a device hanging on the wall that our meter is spinning faster than we might like? Can't we just look around the house and turn off lights that aren't being used, adjust the thermostat or replace appliances that are less efficient? The conversation brought me back to my childhood when I was constantly reminded to turn the lights off, put on a sweater, or – my favorite -- "we are not air-conditioning the great outdoors – close the door!"
Mom's logic, it turns out, is a good reminder for this analyst and has me further pondering how normal human behavior might affect the smart grid vision. Without the willingness of consumers to change consumption patterns, especially in the face of the obvious examples mom cited, the technology will have little impact on overall load growth throughout the nation. Mom is not excited about the prospect of paying more in her rates because others aren't able to do the obvious without technology to remind them.
Speaking of that, when I went to get a soda recently, I looked outside and my neighbor's outdoor lights were still on. He must have forgotten to turn them off before he left and they have been on all day. Now, that is a problem that technology can easily resolve.
Great post!
I really enjoyed reading your blog this morning. I think the consumer benefits of the Smart Grid won't be in having consumers reading charts everyday and changing behavior but in having appliance companies 'tap into' the technology and make smarter decisions for me.
I also added a link to your post in my blog post today. http://thefuturevalueofbusiness.com/smart-grid-reporting.htm
Mom Is Right
I think your mother is more than right, she's typical..after all the hoopla about smart meters, a meter that merely tells you consumption is not such a big revelation to the consumer. However, if the appliances and meters could talk to each other and signal when prices are high and act upon that signal - now that would be neat! Or if a home master energy coordinator(the meter?) could orchestrate the grid power flows of a house with electric vehicle/solar/wind powered ...now, that might even be profitable!
Unfortunately those are the tomorrow things, right now it looks like the smart meter with a thermostat is about the only proven thing we can do today. RTP is still in its infancy. Solar/Windpower is still far away from being widely available for the consumer...and the electric car is going to have its own set of infrastructure problems to overcome before it can be easily integrated into the grid.

that the community and modders are still alive and kicking and listening to what people want to see! Here hollywood_g1 has made a skin requested by SonofWindu96 which is a black Jedi Trainer. I certainly think it is cool to see some more ethnic diversity and I have to say that overall the dark skin really fits well with the choice of model with the hair bob. There are also team skins, the red team varient being a sithy version with the evil eyes. I do have one complaint though and that Is the texturing on the face. It looks like the Lando face texture has been applied to this model and altered a bit, but the skin colour on the rest of the Jedi Trainers head, such as the neck, which has obviously been colour adjusted, does not match the skin colour on the face. This results in a fairly noticeable 'seam' between the two different brown skin colours. The is the only major thing that I think could be improved here as the rest of the skin is very good, but I do think that 'seam' kinda lets the skin down a bit as it looks like someone has chopped Lando's face off with a lightsaber (!) before grafting it onto a Jedi Trainer. Somewhat unfortunate for Lando I am sure. Apart from that though a very cool idea for a skin, and it gets a thumbs up :thumbsup: because it is a community request too, but I would definitely say the face needs some more work! Keep up the good work hollywood_g1, it is nice to see that there are modders that still care enough about the community to create community requests! :) [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes ~Nozyspy~ ***The main download link at the bottom of the page is currently not working!
