- Gas price increase may be put on hold as Election Commission plays toughMukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries gas price hike boost by govt under EC scannerNatural gas price hike: Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries hit by Election Commission orderEC order on natural gas price hike, govt to consult SG or AG, says Veerappa Moily
Aam Aadmi Party today accused Union Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily of siding with Reliance Industries over the issue of gas pricing and welcomed the Election Commission's directive to Central government to defer its decision of doubling the price of natural gas from April 1.
"The entire world knows why Veerappa Moily was brought to the ministry. It is not hidden secret that Jaipal Reddy had raised objection over hiking of gas price. Moily was brought to do the will of RIL and he did the job dutifully after joining office," Senior AAP leader Yogendra Yadav told reporters here.
While welcoming the EC's directive, Yadav raised questions over "silence" of Congress and BJP on the matter.
"AAP welcomes the EC's decision, but what astonishes us is the silence of Congress and BJP on the issue. We were expecting that both parties will also welcome the decision. But whenever Mukesh Ambani's name crops up, silence of BJP and Narendra Modi amazes us," he said.
EC had yesterday asked the UPA government to defer notifying doubling of price of the fuel produced by companies such as Reliance Industries till general elections are completed.
A new pricing regime was to be implemented from next month for all private and public sector natural gas producers under which rates were to rise to USD 8.3 next month from current USD 4.2 per million British thermal units.
The decision was opposed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which alleged that it was taken to favour RIL.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, who had during his brief stint as Delhi Chief Minister ordered an FIR against Moily and RIL head Mukesh Ambani and others for allegedly conspiring to double gas prices, had asked EC not to approve the revision in rates.
Alleging that UPA Government has violated the Model Code of Conduct, AAP had said that the EC's decision within four days of the AAP National Convenor's letter to the Commission shows that the government was in a hurry to benefit the RIL.
"The EC's decision comes as a major relief for the common man who would otherwise have suffered under the impact of the hike in transportation and fertiliser costs, which would have also pushed up the prices of all essential commodities," AAP had said in a statement.
AAP had said the gas pricing issue has exposed the "nexus" between the RIL and Congress-BJP.
"The gas pricing issue has not only exposed the Congress but also the BJP and particularly its Prime Ministerial Candidate Narendra Modi, who has been maintaining a mysterious silence on this crucial issue.
"In the coming days the AAP will further expose the nexus between the RIL and Congress-BJP combine," the statement had said.
In a series of tweets, Kejriwal had yesterday welcomed the EC's direction while attacking BJP and Congress over the issue.
"Thank u election commission for saving the people of India from huge price rise that would have happened if gas prices had increased frm 1 (sic)," he said in one of the tweets.
"This relief from election commission is only for 2 months till the end of elections. After elections, if cong comes to power, gas price wud be 8 dollars.
"If BJP comes to power, it wud be 16 dollars. AAP wants 4 dollars. Now people have to decide whom to elect. Both Modi and Rahul Gandhi support high gas prices for Ambani. Only AAP has the courage to directly confront Ambani (sic)," Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.

Here's video of Rafael Nadal arriving in Oviedo, Spain for the Prince of Asturias awards.
The top-ranked baller will be receiving the prestigious 2008 Prince of Asturias Award for Sports which "will be bestowed upon the individual, group or institution whose lives are not only examples to others, but who have also reached new heights in mankind's struggle for excellence, and who have contributed by their efforts to perfecting, nurturing, promoting and disseminating sport."
Rafa was excited to be receiving the honor saying
It's an incredible honour for me to receive the 'Principe de Asturias Sport Award'. I'm extremely grateful to the jury and everyone else who chose me as it's an achievement greater than usual, it makes me feel proud.
Not only does this represent great sport values but also, and most importantly, good human values. This award is one of the best things that could happen to me outside of the tennis court because it says to me I'm doing this right when it comes to human values.
I always try to do the right thing inside and outside of the tennis courts no matter what. This award represents something different to a sports award and the fact that it's been given to me means it's not only thanks to my hard work but also because of those around me, specially my family.
To be given an award like this in what has been a very special year for Spain's sport makes it even that much more special.
All nominees are of an extremely high level and the simple fact that I was considered amongst this group of people is satisfactory enough, even if I had not won the award.Congrats to Rafa for the big honor and for the super cute outfit, particularly the striped grey sweater, even though it kinda reminds me of a certain someone else:

Maths days
Yesterday was square root day, and we imagine that most of you celebrated it in the customary fashion by eating square vegetables. It was square root day because the date was 03/03/09 and 3 times 3 is 9. The last square root day was on the 2nd of February 2004, and the next one will be on the 4th of April 2016, so they're relatively rare occurrences. Far more common are Plus's own invention, addition days. The coming Friday is one of them, because the date will be 06/03/09 and 6+3=9. Of course there could also be subtraction days, or maybe exponential days. In fact, with a bit of numerical skill, you can probably turn every day into a maths holiday.
A far more serious affair is World Maths Day, which is in fact today. It's celebrated on the first Wednesday in March and involves student and student groups from around the world competing to solve 182,445,169 mental arithmetic challenges in 48 hours. The winners receive medals and certificates, but of course it's the glory of winning that counts, and last year this was bestowed on teams from Malaysia and the UK, as well as individual students from Australia and the UK. It's too late to register for this year's event, but why not start practicing for next year?
Happy maths day!

Bye bye finance, hello maths and science
We may be in a recession, but according to Gordon Brown, that's all the more reason to invest in science and maths education. In a speech in Oxford today, Brown pledged to increase the number of students taking maths A level from the current 56,000 to 86,000 in 2014, and to make sure that 90% of state schools teach physics, chemistry and biology as separate subjects, also by 2014. The measures are meant to help ensure Britain's future competitiveness, and ease its over-dependence on financial services, which have got us into this mess in the first place. Some of the losers of the recession, those who have lost their jobs but have maths, science and IT degrees, are to be encouraged and supported to take up teaching, to tackle the lack of specialist teachers in these subjects. Brown also pledged to encourage a positive public debate about science in order to improve the public's understanding of its role in society.

Geneticists are usually concerned with picking apart the individual genes that make up a genome, but now two biochemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin Madison have decided to re-assemble all the pieces and give them a good shake. They found that it's not just the genes themselves, but also the way in which they are organised within the genome, that determine the characteristics of an organism.

Life's an algorithm
It's not often that maths makes it into the mainstream media, and when it does, it's usually a very specific bit of maths — a statistical result or a certain application — that's being examined. An article published yesterday on the Guardian website makes a nice exception. It explores how maths underlies almost every aspect of modern life, from traffic lights to iTunes. Thank you, Guardian!

We're doomed, say scientists
Sometimes a boring story can become a lot more interesting if you do some skilled number juggling. This is what seems to have happened in an article in The Daily Telegraph, which claims that 90% of us carry a gene which increases the risk of high blood pressure by 18%. And high blood pressure is of course linked to dreaded killers like stroke and heart disease.
In his Understanding Uncertainty blog David Spiegelhalter traces the story back to a paper in Nature Genetics. The authors of the paper investigate three gene variants that can occur in the human genome. Two of them are rare, only about 10% of the population carry them, while the third is present in 90% of the population. The authors show that the gene variants are associated to proteins called natriuretic peptides, which are linked to blood pressure (this is the main point of the paper, since such a genetic connection had never before been found). The two rarer gene variants, according to the paper, reduce the risk of high blood pressure by 15%. The phrase "18% increased risk of high blood pressure" appears nowhere in the paper. Rather it's the result of some creative accounting on the part of someone operating in the media chain which links the actual paper to the final article in The Daily Telegraph. Here's how it's done:
Say that the risk of high blood pressure for someone carrying the more common gene variant is x. Now the 15% decrease associated to the two less common variants takes this down to 0.85x. To get back to x, we need to add 0.15x, and this is exactly 17.647% of 0.85x — hence the claim of an 18% increase in risk.
The calculation is undoubtedly correct, but it puts a spin on the story. Rather than taking the common case as a base line and talking about the risk reduction associated to the less common cases, it does things the other way around. This is in stark contrast to the paper's authors own turn of phrase, which links the rarer variants to risk reduction, but says that the common variant "was not significantly associated with either systolic or diastolic blood pressure." It's a bit like noting that some people live to 110 and then complaining that most of us die prematurely. "This is a masterful piece of re-framing of the evidence," says Spiegelhalter on his blog. "Not exactly wrong, but definitely changing the story. Just like a change from 98% to 96% in a survival rate seems a lot more innocuous than a doubling of the mortality rate from 2% to 4%."

Comments about Yamaha FG Series FGX720SCA Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
So... I was kind of skeptical about this guitar (it was offered to me by the AWESOME people that are Yamaha customer service). I hadn't played it, and this is the first review of the product that I know of. "Bleeding Edge" as some would say. Oversized soundhole and tiny frets were the first things I noticed. Also the almost mirror-like quality of the black finish. Right out of the box, very clean, very nice looking. Couldn't ask for better aesthetics. Upon playing, I found the action extremely playable for an acoustic. No buzzing. Anywhere. I checked every fret on every string. One think I did notice was the very prominent harmonics the guitar had. Now, I don't mean regular, intentional harmonics. I mean the noisy ones on the neck-side of the guitar. On this guitar, they are almost as loud as the played notes when hammering from no where or if you fret before you pick.As for the sound, it sounds excellent. At least as good as the FGX04, which the FGX720SC is replacing. Prominent mids and surprisingly sparkly highs, along with a deep and powerful bass you can feel in your chest.Overall, 4.75 for the money.And the preamp is a system 55, which is new, and is almost exactly the same as the system 46, which this site says it has. Not the system 45.

A featherweight matchup between Mike Brown (25-8 MMA, 1-3 UFC) and Daniel Pineda (17-7 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has been added to May's UFC 146 event.
UFC officials announced the matchup earlier today.
Featuring a heavyweight title fight between current champion Junior Dos Santos and former Strikeforce title holder Alistair Overeem, "UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Overeem" takes place May 26 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Brown vs. Pineda takes place on the preliminary card.
"Pineda is developing as a serious contender as he will be looking for his third stoppage in the octagon in only 5 months and riding an almost-two-year unbeaten streak," UFC president Dana White stated. "This will be the toughest test of his career, dealing with Brown's experience, power and submission prowess."
Brown looks to build on the strength of his first-ever UFC win, a UFC 133 victory over Nam Phan. The much-needed result snapped a two-fight losing streak for the former WEC featherweight champion, who had suffered back-to-back losses to Rani Yahya and Diego Nunes following the UFC's absorption of the WEC's roster. Brown also lost a lightweight bout at UFC 47 in April 2004.
Brown had been expected to face Vagner Rocha at January's UFC on FX 1 event but a knee injury forced him to withdraw from the card.
Meanwhile, Pineda (17-7 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has burst onto the UFC scene with back-to-back first-round submission wins over Mackens Semerzier and Pat Schilling. The 26-year-old Texan is currently 9-1 in his past 10 overall fights, with the lone loss coming in a May 2010 fight under the Bellator Fighting Championships' banner.
For more on UFC 146, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

This instructional video demonstrates the differences between high pressure scuba tanks and low pressure scuba tanks.Scuba Diving Tanks or Cylinders allow the diver to have his / her own source of air. Scuba Tanks are a cylinder container made from steel or aluminum. Scuba Tanks hold different amounts of air so It's vital to select the right volume Scuba Tank as different sizes are made for different purposes. The difference between an aluminum tank and a steel tank are that a steel tank ´besides the price´ is that it may rust internally over time. Whereas, an aluminum tank will not. Although an Aluminum tank may seem the way to go, it is not always the case. For example, an aluminum tank thread's have had a tendency to strip out or have cracked in once in a while than a steel tank. And most aluminum tanks have a positive buoyancy. In general most Scuba Divers start with the a basic AL80 Tank because of the price difference. There are several SCUBA cylinder manufacturers, and the specifications for their cylinder pressures, dimensions, and capacities are constantly changing.

Those who think they are on the permanent mail-in list and have not received a ballot by Friday, Nov. 2, call the county clerk's office at 854-3131.
When voters head to the polls on election Tuesday, those in precincts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 will vote at Phillips County Event Center while those in 5, 6 and 7 will vote at the Haxtun Community Center.
There will also be three ballot measures on the 2012 ballot. They are outlined below. All information was taken from the 2012 State Ballot Information Booklet (Blue Book).
Amendment S
State Personnel System
Amendment S makes changes to the state personnel system, impacting approximately 32,500 individuals in full- and part-time permanent positions in state government. The measure applies only to classified employees in the state personnel system and does not affect nonclassified employees (about 41,000 individuals), most of whom work in the legislative and judicial branches and at institutions of higher education.
All employees are covered under applicable state and federal employment laws, such as those protecting against discrimination.
In 1918, Colorado voters amended the state constitution to create the state civil service system. In 1970, the system was updated and renamed the state personnel system. It currently requires that:
—employees be hired and promoted according to merit and fitness.
—job candidates be scored and ranked using a competitive exam.
Arguments For
1. State employees provide a wide variety of services to meet the needs of citizens, and the public deserves the most qualified employees to do the job.
The current hiring process limits the pool of eligible candidates and may favor the best test-takers over applicants with practical experience. The measure expands the pool of eligible candidates and allows state agencies to consider other objective methods for evaluating job applicants.
An improved applicant evaluation process increases the ability of the state to hire the best candidate for each position.
2. The measure updates the state personnel system to better align the state with current business practices and make it more efficient and accountable to Colorado taxpayers.
It gives the governor the ability to hire key staff, allowing for a quicker implementation of the policy agenda he or she is elected to enact.
Under the measure, the state is better equipped to complete special projects and respond to seasonal demands with temporary employees who are allowed to work nine months rather than six.
It also allows for the hiring of nonresidents in positions located close to the state border, helping state agencies to identify the best candidates for difficult-to-fill positions in a timely manner and from a wider applicant pool. Additionally, the measure recognizes the sacrifice of veterans, allowing them to use a hiring preference whenever they apply for a state position, rather than only once.
Arguments Against
1. The measure gives the governor and political appointees, including the state personnel director, too much power over the state's personnel system.
The governor's administration will be able to exempt about 325 additional positions from the system, and members of the constitutionally independent State Personnel Board could be removed without cause.
Also, the state personnel director, appointed by the governor, will now have policy making authority over areas of the system that the board has traditionally overseen, including job candidate evaluation and exemption from residency requirements. This overlap in authority could lead to potential conflicts between the director and the board and create confusion for candidates and employees.
2. The state personnel system exists, in part, to protect state employees from undue political influence, and this measure removes some of those protections, making the system more vulnerable to favoritism and abuse.
Evaluating qualifications, rather than using numerical exam scores, makes it more difficult for state agencies to objectively compare candidates. The new system could make it easier to hire persons based on political or personal connections rather than merit and result in more appeals of hiring decisions.
In addition, the new exemptions could displace experienced existing state employees with political appointees. This may result in the loss of institutional knowledge and subject traditionally neutral positions, such as chief financial officers and human resource directors, to political pressure.
Amendment 64
Use and Regulation of Marijuana
Amendment 64 proposes amending the Colorado Constitution to:
—regulate the growth, manufacture and sale of marijuana in a system of licensed establishments overseen by state and local governments.
—allow individuals who are 21 years old or older to possess, use, display, purchase, transport and transfer—to individuals who are 21 years old or older—one ounce or less of marijuana.
—allow individuals who are 21 years old or older to possess, grow, process and transport up to six marijuana plants, with certain restrictions.
—require the state legislature to enact an excise tax on marijuana sales, of which the first $40 million in revenue raised annually must be credited to a state fund used for constructing public schools. The excise tax must be approved by a separate statewide vote.
—require the state legislature to enact legislation concerning the growth, processing and sale of industrial hemp.
Arguments For
1. Current state policies that criminalize marijuana fail to prevent its use and availability and have contributed to an underground market. By creating a framework for marijuana to be legal, taxed and regulated under state law, Amendment 64 provides a new direction for the state.
2. It is preferable for adults who choose to use marijuana to grow it themselves or purchase it from licensed businesses that are required to follow health and safety standards, rather than purchasing products of unknown origin from individuals involved in the underground market.
A regulated market will provide a safer environment for adults who purchase marijuana and, by requiring age verification, will restrict underage access to marijuana. The measure will also add sales tax revenue and may add job opportunities to the state economy.
3. The adoption of Amendment 64 will send a message to the federal government and other states that marijuana should be legal and regulated and that industrial hemp should be treated differently than marijuana.
Adults should have the choice to use marijuana, just as they have that choice with other substances such as alcohol and tobacco. Further, because of its commercial applications in fuel, building materials, clothing and food, industrial hemp should be allowed to be grown, processed and sold domestically.
Arguments Against
1. Even if Amendment 64 is adopted, the possession, manufacture and sale of marijuana remain illegal under current federal law, so the adoption of the measure may expose Colorado consumers, businesses and governments to federal criminal charges and other risks.
People who invest time and money to open marijuana establishments have no protections against federal seizure of their money and property. Because federal banking laws do not allow banks to accept the proceeds of, or loan money for, activities that are illegal under federal law, marijuana businesses will likely need to be cash-only businesses.
In addition, enhanced federal scrutiny and competition from retail marijuana establishments could jeopardize the existing medical marijuana system. The efforts of individuals who feel that marijuana use should be legal for all adults are more appropriately directed at changing federal law.
2. Marijuana impairs users' coordination and reasoning and can lead to addiction. Allowing state-regulated stores to sell marijuana will make it more accessible, which is likely to increase use and may give the impression that there are no health risks or negative consequences to marijuana use.
Greater accessibility and acceptance of marijuana may increase the number of children and young adults who use the drug, which, due to their ongoing brain development, may be especially dangerous. Furthermore because more people are likely to use marijuana, the number of those who drive while under the influence of or while impaired by the drug may increase.
3. A ballot measure cannot direct any vote cast by a legislator. Amendment 64 asks voters to approve a regulatory structure for the sale of marijuana, but does not specify critical details about what the regulation will entail.
Furthermore, because the provisions of Amendment 64 will be in the state constitution and not in the state statutes, where most other business regulations appear, there may be unintended consequences that cannot be easily remedied.
For example, the state legislature cannot adjust the deadlines, fees and other details regarding the implementation of the measure. In addition, by constitutionally permitting marijuana use, the measure, despite its stated intent, could create conflicts with existing employment, housing and other laws and policies that ban the use of illegal drugs.
Amendment 65
Colorado Congressional Delegation to Support Campaign Finance Limits
Amendment 65 proposes amending the Colorado Constitution and Colorado statutes to:
—instruct the Colorado congressional delegation to propose and support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that allows Congress and the states to limit campaign contributions and spending.
—instruct the state legislature to ratify any such amendment passed by Congress.
Arguments For
1. The current system of financing political campaigns gives too much influence over elections and public policy to wealthy individuals and organizations. This measure sends a message from Colorado voters to their elected representatives that money in politics should be limited so that other perspectives can be heard.
Further, it gives elected representatives in Congress and the state legislature clear instructions to make the necessary changes to create a more level playing field in politics.
2. Prior court rulings have increased the ability of wealthy individuals and organizations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence campaigns and elections, as well as public policy. In many cases, the public does not know who is providing this money because the source does not have to be disclosed.
The surest way to reverse these changes is to amend the U.S. Constitution as recommended by this measure. Amendment 65 takes the first step in that process by encouraging Congress to take action.
Argument Against
1. A state ballot measure cannot require elected representatives in Congress or the state legislature to support or vote for certain laws and policies. Therefore, the measure will have no practical effect. Rather than using Colorado law to make a political statement, those who advocate for more restrictive campaign finance laws should instead support congressional candidates who will pursue such changes.
2. The measure could lead to restrictions that limit the fundamental rights to freedom of speech, expression and association.
Individuals and organizations should not be restricted in how they spend money to promote the ideas and candidates they support. Further, candidates and campaigns should be free to spend any contributions received from supporters.

Men's Basketball
News: Swanegan Scores 35 In Men's Hoops Win Over LAVC
Pasadena City College sophomore guard Mike Swanegan became just the sixth Lancers men's basketball player in the last 10 years to score 35 points in a game as PCC defeated Los Angeles Valley, 92-80, in the opening round of the 40th Santa Barbara City College Classic Thursday night.
The Lancers (2-5) snapped a four-game losing streak and advance to Friday's championship semifinals against South Coast Conference rival Mt. San Antonio College at 9 p.m.
Swanegan (pictured) made 12 of 18 shots from the floor, including an nifty 6-for-8 for long distance threes.

Aluminum Tanks - The aluminum tanks cost significantly less then a steel tank. Aluminum tanks are more buoyant than steel tanks, so you may be finding yourself adding a few extra pounds on your weight belt.
The difference between Pressure & Volume - It should be noted that the pressure of a tank is not a measure of the size or volume of a tank. For example, most aluminum tanks, from the smallest 6 cuft pony bottle to an 80 cuft tank, have a fill pressure of 3000 psi. For a 6 cuft bottle, this means at 3000 psi the tank contains 6 cuft of air. For an 80 cuft bottle this means at 3000 psi the tank contains 80 cuft of air. Tanks come in a variety of combinations of volumes and fill pressures but the cubic foot (cuft) volume is the measure of how much air a tank holds.
All diving cylinders we offer are DOT (Department of Transportation) and TC (Transport Canada) approved

Court Rules In Favor Of EPA Veto
Federal judge says agency has power of retroactive cancellation
April 24, 2013
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The U.S....
The only people willing to go on the band wagon for coal are the few who are left in "Coal Country" because few others would want to live in a place that is poluted and fewer still, have any enthusiasm for mining the stuff. If the Coal economy was so great; why did a place like Harrison County, once wealthy, become a land of people on welfare, small villages left with older people, few jobs in the area that pay wages close to middle class?

The broad sweeping powers granted the EPA was founded in the belief that the agency would be run in an objective, scientific manner. The obvious leftist political bias seen for decades shows that was a stupid assumption.
Bear in mind, when the EPA was established, the local air pollution index was part of the daily weather report in Pittsburgh. Problem is, once you fix the real problems the regulators do not go away. They just keep writing new rules to save their jobs.

This decision is simply common sense. Permit reversals are a fact of life in medicine, the chemical industry, and a host of other areas requiring government oversight. Permits are not carved in stone. If and when it can be shown that there are legitimate concerns for serious environmental damage or threats to human health the EPA has the responsibility to take action. That's their job!

The whole deal smells like a lot of subsurface Fed-level political infighting. Maybe when people are given the opportunity to learn just how valuable Coal is, or how much more valuable Coal can become, the press will start paying more attention to proceedings like this permit dispute, and drive away the corrosive mold growing in the shadows with a little sunshine. For instance, "United States Patent 8,366,902 - Methods and Systems for Producing Syngas; 2013; Assignee: Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, (Idaho National Laboratory); This invention was made with government support under Contract Number DE-AC07-05ID14517 awarded by the United States Department of Energy" was issued just a few months ago. It is confirmation, by the US Government, that a process, developed by the US Government, can convert Coal into any and all sorts of liquid hydrocarbons, with no, or almost no, co-production or emission of CO2.

a clean place to live is a high rather than low standard of living and that means living and healthy. Exploitation by energy companies is an attack that leaves victims behind..the assets are off-shore in those tax free accounts you read about.Contamination of the water, air and ground is production of deathly areas where life is impossible. As I stood on Kayford Mountain and looked down at the wasteland below, I prayed for God to bless the Gibson family who stood their ground and saved their farm. where are you standing today?

The science staff at EPA, USFWS, DEP, etc are mission driven. Political power comes into play during the permit decision. So EPA initially wanted to reject and further modify the Spruce permit as written, but Bush admin wouldn't let them. Under Obama they were allowed to proceed with permit withdrawal based on the newer science. Staff level scientists' recommendations are always at the whim of non-science political ideology, lobbyists, and special interests. It will always be this way.

The closing of coal fired power plants and lack of construction in the US is causing global coal prices to drop. The US is exporting coal. We are helping fuel world economy in places like China, India, and Germany at the expense of the United States.
Due to the lower coal prices, Germany, for instance is scheduled to start up 6 brand new coal fired power plants this year, to replace aging nuclear units. Total capacity of the new units will be 5800 Mw. By 2020, a total of 20 new coal fired stations are scheduled to come on line in addition to 27 new gas fired stations.

I am no fan of mountain top removal and would like to see them forbidden but in fact they are not. So we have a case where a coal company applied for and was issued a permit to do that procedure, and now the more left current EPA decides that they are going to go back in time and rescind that permit? This is banana republic government at its finest. I suppose WV should pay attention to this, after all if we do not vote for Hillary in the next election, to extend the madness, the Feds may go back in time and rescind WV's statehood. When political cultism over rules due process, then democracy is in trouble. We already are seeing that left wing moonbeams want to alter government and the Constitution. Have to get rid of Congress though because as set up in the Constitution it gives those darned people a say in their lives, and letting others speak is sooo dangerous. We have seen that with FOX News, silence free speech, its upsetting! Crush due process. It's for your own good.

EPA gave the company an opportunity to modify the permit. A more ecologically friendly alternatives analysis showed that would've only cost them 50 cents more on the ton to produce under that alternative. Instead they paid millions to fight EPA for the right to bury 6.6 miles of high quality streams under mine spoil. In the meantime, Arch also spending millions fighting to take away retired miners pensions and health benefits...

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Republican candidates might want to talk to the 50,000 public comments before ruffling to many feathers. "in 40 years, the agency has issued only 13 final determinations under section 404(c), and only three of those actions withdrew specifications authorized under active permits." Are we to believes that every permit deserves to be issued without question? Or sometimes maybe it just doesn't add up?

Plane Crashes Near Correctionville, Killing Two
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa (AP) - A small airplane, crashed Saturday evening in northwest Iowa killing two people and severly injuring the pilot.
Woodbury County Sheriff's chief deputy Doug Boetger says that the plane crashed Saturday night about 2 1/2 miles south of Correctionville, near highway 31. The crash was reported about 8 p.m.
Boetger says two passengers died and the pilot was taken by ambulance to a Sioux City hospital, then later transferred to a Lincoln, Nebraska burn unit.
The passengers have been identified as Lee Schroeder, 53 of Oto, and 55 year old James Smith of Correctionville. The pilot, 70 year old Gaylen Knaack of Correctionville was listed as being in serious condition. The plane crash is being investigated by both F-A-A and NTSB officials. Further details of the crash will be released as they become available.
There was dense fog in the area, but Boetger says it's unclear whether the weather conditions played a role in the crash.
During the response, an ambulance and law enforcement vehicle collided but Boetger says there were no injuries.
Five Fire Departments Battle Sioux Center House Fire

Several Hunting Accidents Occur In Iowa Over Weekend
MONROE COUNTY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are trying to determine how a Mississippi man was shot and wounded by a fellow
deer hunter.
The state Department of Natural Resources says 48-year-old Clint Morgan, of Saucier, Miss., was wounded around noon Sunday.
Saucier was struck in the elbow by a slug fired by another member of his seven-member hunting party.
Saucier was taken to a Des Moines hospital for treatment.
The incident happened in Monroe County, southwest of Blakesburg.
Officials say fog was not a factor in this case. That's different than an earlier hunting accident near Indianola where 58-year-old Miles Sagen was wounded by a fellow hunter.
Both hunting incidents remain under investigation.
NORA SPRINGS, Iowa (AP) - A 29-year-old man has been hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself in a foot while hunting deer in northern Iowa.
The Iowa Natural Resources Department says Jeffrey Esser, of rural Mason City, was wounded around 4 p.m. Sunday while hunting in heavy brush southeast of Nora Springs in Floyd County.
The department says Esser's 12-gauge shotgun accidentally fired, hitting him in the right foot. He was taken to North Iowa Mercy Medical Center in Mason City.
The department says that so far this year it has received a total of 11 reports of personal injury hunting-related incidents.
Police Cruiser Involved In Auto Accident
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Investigators are trying to determine why an Iowa driver collided with a Cedar Rapids police cruiser.
Cedar Rapids police say the crash happened around 1:40 a.m. Sunday after the other driver crossed the centerline.
The westbound driver struck the marked police car.
Both drivers were injured and taken to a hospital for treatment before being released.
Police have not released the identity of the other driver.
Investigators are waiting for toxicology test results to determine if the driver was intoxicated before deciding what charges to pursue.
Prison Barber Wants To Be Compensated For Assisting Help Free Inmates
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A monthlong trial of two men seeking $100 million for their wrongful conviction in a 1977 Council Bluffs killing could end next week, but a former prison barber who is
largely responsible for their freedom wonders if she'll be compensated for her work.
Anne Danaher of Kansas City spent years researching the case against Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee, two Omaha teenagers who were convicted of killing a former police officer. They had spent
decades in prison when Danaher discovered investigators withheld records from defense lawyers.
This evidence led the men to be freed, and both received large settlements. Now they're seeking more money from investigators and Council Bluffs.
Danaher says Harrington promised to share any settlement with her, but she's received no money. She's filed a lawsuit seeking compensation.
Police Investigate Waterloo Shooting

Evans was taken to Allen Hospital where he died.
The shooting happened around 2 a.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Broadway Street.

THE LOW DOWN: Maria and Novak hang out, romance rumors grow
Budding romance: Major New York gossip mongers Page Six and Rush & Molly have both reported today on the growing romance between Maria "Shriek"apova and Novak Djokovic. Though the sexy Serb was quoted as saying they were "just friends" after Maria was spotted in his player's box at the US Open final, the two were seen getting cozy and hitting the town together later that evening.
Page Six is reporting that the two tennis hotties showed up together at Wakiya in the Gramercy Park Hotel after the US Open final, though they mostly missed the opening night party. Afterwards, according to both rags, the couple headed to to Unik's karaoke party at Downtown Cipriani, site of the recent Legends Ball. The song the couple chose to perform together? "Love Is in the Air."
Hmmm - I guess coming in second place wasn't so bad for Nole...

This server and installation was here before I got here and it looks like the drives aren't the greatest and they are utilizing an onboard RAID controller. At any rate, any rebuild attempts fail and the drive that is alive seems so be accumulating more and more bad sectors. I'm hopefull that I will be able to export the necessary data when the time comes... which brings me to my question. I have fresh 'enterprise' grade hardware that I have installed Ubuntu server 12.04 64 LTS on and subsequently attempted the 8.0.6 install. The problem is that I am running into a license question in order to complete the install. Can it simply be exported from my existing 6.0.4 server? Do I need to contact Zimbra??? I'm kinda lost here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But it can be done. Experts offer this advice on how to make the most of corporate language training programs.
Set goals: If employees needs to be proficient in a foreign language to do their jobs or to get promoted, let them know exactly what that means, what their timeline is and how many hours they are expected to invest in the training, says Duane March, a language trainer for Mindstorm Group, a training company in Mannheim, Germany. "Then make proficiency part of their performance review."

On-Campus Interviews
Finding Job Opportunities
Moritz's Fall On-Campus Interviewing Program ("OCI") brings employers to campus to interview 2L and 3L students for summer and permanent positions. Typically, an employer who interviews 14 2L students on campus will invite 4-5 to a day-long "call back" interview with members of the organization. Of those students, between 2-3 will receive offers for summer employment. The National Association for Law Placement (NALP) member firms and schools, including Moritz, follow the guidelines for timing of acceptances and offers.
Students who have successful summer clerkships will receive offers of permanent employment in the fall of their third year. Most firms hire only as many summer clerks as they have permanent positions to offer.
Moritz's Spring Semester OCI occurs from February to March. Public and private legal employers come to campus to interview 1L, 2L and 3L students for summer and permanent positions.
The 2013 On Campus Interview dates are as follows:
- 2013 Spring Interview Dates
February 11 - March 8
- 2013 Fall Interview Dates
August 12-16 (Early OCI)
September 9-20 (Regular OCI)
Symplicity is the web-based Career Services Management System that we use to manage all aspects of the legal recruitment process. Students are given demonstrations on how to use the system before they need to register for OCI.
Prior to participating in OCI, a student needs to upload the following materials to Symplicity:
Students will also need to research employers in order to decide how to prioritize interview requests. The list of employers registered for OCI can be found in Symplicity on the OCI tab designated for each session.

International Space
Spaceflight and the use of rockets and missiles is not a uniquely American concept. From the time that the Chinese first harnessed the power of explosive power into rockets through the dawn of the aviation age, individuals and groups throughout the world pondered on the next stage of flight. It thus follows that the subject matter of the National Air and Space Museum encompasses not only national, but also international and multinational history. U.S. space artifacts alone do not tell the complete history of spaceflight. The Museum's U.S. space program collections are nearly comprehensive, illustrating programs from concept to execution, and its international collections are essential to place the National Collection into the proper context.

I will guess 185-189
I will guess 185-189
I'll play. 173 gross. I hope you hear what it does score
I would go 180"
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Kinda hard to guess from one picture because they are so far behind the buck, I'll guess 165
160-170ish, it looks like it barely make it to the tips of the ears but has decent forks.
I guess I should have said what the text said, the text said 180" gross 4x5
The body is shadowed but the face is in the sun. So not only are they far behind they are pushing it forward. Tough to say from photo but I would guess low 170's high 160's too.
Shooter buck in my book for sure... good looking.
It should net in the upper 160's......average width & mass, no G1's, average beams, and decent tine length. Cool looking buck with the 2-3" kicker.

RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
Etubics has received an approximately $1.5 million contract from the Small Business Innovation Research Development Center of the National Cancer Institute to manufacture its breast cancer immunotherapeutic, ETBX-021. The money will be used to generate the data required to support an IND application of ETBX-021 GMP product for a Phase I/II clinical trial.
ETBX-021 utilizes the Etubics Platform, which is stealth to the immune system and has the ability to deliver a long lasting active immune response against cancer targets, educating the immune system's T-cells to act as if the cancer was a simple virus, according to the company.
Etubics reported that preclinical studies have shown ETBX-021 can induce not only the traditional antibody response, but also potent cell-mediated immunity against HER2/neu tumors. Additionally, ETBX-021 prevented establishment of HER2/neu-expressing tumors and significantly inhibited progression of established tumors in mice models, the company said.
The award follows another grant Etubics received in July of approximately $1.03 million from the National Institute of Health to research and develop a therapeutic vaccine for HIV/human papilloma virus associated oropharyngeal and tonsillar malignancy.

Have there been any effort, polls, referendum in Europe (especially Eastern ex-communist countries) to restore deposed monarchies, like in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, etc.? Most Monarchies were deposed of because of communist regimes, Nazi occupation or military dictatorships rather than the will of the people (correct me if I am wrong).
Well, in 1946 the Italians voted to abolish the kingdom and create the republic, basically because the monarchy was tainted by association with Mussolini. Italy's monarchy was a stronger one (in my estimation) than the East European ones but still it couldn't weather the storm.
I have the impression that in Eastern Europe the real prestige of the monarchies was not very high, the people did not resent them so badly as to oppose them as long as they were in power but on the other hand few cared deeply enough for them to work for their restoration. This might have had a lot to do with the monarchies being mostly young and created by foreign powers. You seem to assume otherwise in the question - do you have sources for this assumption?
Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was Tsar of Bulgaria from 1943 to 1946. 2001, Simeon resumed the role of leader of the nation upon taking office as Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria from July 2001 until August 2005.
But there were no plans of a restoration of the Bulgarian monarchy.
Are you restricting your question to a certain time period? If not, then there are a number of examples, besides those already given in the other answers, which could qualify:
There are a bunch of monarchists in modern Russia. Some are "theoretical" monarchists, some want to bring back Romanovs, some want Putin to be the Tzar.
The article contains some further info and analysis as well.
There was a referendum to restore the Albanian monarchy in 1997, following a period of severe unrest. The official results of the referendum had the motion failing by a 2-1 margin; the monarchists then claimed that the result was invalid, riots broke out, and the crown prince Leka fled the country and was tried in absentia for inciting rebellion.
The country subsequently adopted a new republican constitution in 1998. Leka was later pardoned and returned to the country, but monarchist ardor seemed to have cooled somewhat:
Leka died in 2011, and it does not appear that Leka II (his son and the current pretender) is currently pressing the monarchist cause:

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Carlos Beltran had four RBI by the end of the second inning on Friday and the Cardinals routed the Royals, 11-4, in the opener of a three-game interleague series.
Beltran had a two-run double in both the first and second innings as the Cardinals jumped out to a 10-1 lead after two. David Freese and Tyler Greene also hit two-run doubles during the early onslaught and Matt Carpenter went 2- for-4 with an RBI in his return from the disabled list.
A beneficiary of the run support, Joe Kelly (1-0) went six innings and picked up his first major league win. He allowed three runs and did not issue a walk in his third career start.
St. Louis had lost three of four entering Friday but victimized Kansas City starter Vin Mazzaro (3-2) to the tune of seven runs on six hits over just 1 1/3 innings.
Salvador Perez made his season debut and hit a two-run homer for the Royals, who took two of three from the Cardinals last weekend as part of their recently concluded 4-2 road trip.

We have been having a very rare issue. This problem has occured during medium load to off-time so it isn't related to load. What happens is a java process uses 100% of a single core and then zimbra will "hang". You can't access your email through a client or the webgui. However, looking at the logs it appears zimbra was fine. No errors or timeouts and email looks like it is being received, sent, queued, and scanned fine.
I was able to grab a ps aux while it was happening. This is the offending process...
Here are all the process running USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root - Pastebin.comCode:
zimbra 18050 8.4 3.1 15518388 3100980 ?

The problem usualy corrects itself if you wait long enough. It can take a couple minutes to 15 min. Restarting zimbra fixes the problem right away.
Any ideas? I know it is not much to go on but there is nothing in the logs and this problem only pops up a couple times a month so it is not a common occurance and like I said above it happens at random times.

Install a HoodscoopWritten by on April 17, 2006 Fix your look and improve performance at the same time when we show you..
Racing pioneer, inventor, and world-class horn dog Smokey Yunick (read his autobiography "Best Damn Garage in Town" if you don't believe the horn dog part) proved that every 10-degree reduction in inlet-air temperature has the potential of increasing engine output by 1 percent. While this may not seem like much, let's crunch the numbers and take a second look.
It all starts with realizing that even though the ambient air temperature--the air you breathe in the driver seat--may be a comfortable 80 degrees F, the engine-compartment air temperature beneath an unvented hood is well in excess of 180 degrees F thanks to the heat radiated by the engine, exhaust headers, manifolds, and cooling system. That's a 100-degree difference in the air temperature above and below the skin of the hood.
What if you broke through the hood and took advantage of that cooler outside ambient air temperature? By Smokey's account, you'd reduce inlet-air temperature by 100 degrees and see a 10 percent increase in horsepower. So, in theory if you're making 400 hp breathing underhood air, you'd get 440 with outside air thanks to its greater density. Is it free horsepower? Yes and no. Yes, in that we don't have to lay a finger on the engine to see gains. No in that there is always an aerodynamic penalty (increased drag) any time appendages sprout from the vehicle surface. Regardless, the scoop's aerodynamic drag is less than the power increase, so it's a worthwhile trade-off.
As with everything we do to our cars, there's a form and function balance that must be respected. There are few things tackier than seedy off-kilter hoodscoops and butchered sheetmetal that look like the work of a pre-Sharon Ozzy wielding a rotary axe. In this how-to, we'll explore some tricks to help you cut the hood and mount the scoop so it looks professional.

For this story we're installing a reproduction '68 Hemi Dart fiberglass scoop on the CC Rambler. Its massive dustpan design grabs the maximum gulp of cold air. Several outfits make these scoops today. The darker one is from Kramer Automotive Specialties ($195). The lighter one is from Unlimited Products ($60).A quick pass with an abrasive scuffing pad roughs up the paint so the temporary locating marks stick instead of smudging away. In situations where the paint is show quality, a little extra care will be needed to avoid collateral damage during the scoop installation.With the hood removed, pull a pair of strings across the length and width of the engine bay so they intersect exactly over the carburetor air-cleaner stud. Use masking tape to secure the lightly stretched strings to the body. An extra-long carb stud or a length of all-thread screwed into the carburetor prevents guesswork and incorrectly placed holes.Mark one end of each string to record its location before unsticking the tape and pulling it out of the way so the hood can be set back in place. This operation can also be done with the hood still bolted to its hinges.With the extra-long carb stud removed and the hood back on the car, re-stretch the strings and stick the loose ends back over the marked locations. You now have an exact X-ray view of where the carburetor stud is positioned.Mark the intersection with a paint pen like this white grout marker. It dries fast and doesn't smudge but is easily removed with mild chemicals or polishing compound.Drill a single 38-inch hole where the strings intersect, then use a bolt to center your air-cleaner lid over the hole. Use the grout pen to draw a circle around the lid that is 1 inch greater than the diameter of the lid. The extra inch provides clearance for hood opening and closing. If Doug was content with a single four-barrel on his Rambler, the next step would be cutting this circle out of the hood using the jigsaw. Then we'd either stack a pair of filter elements to get them up into the cool air stream. Or we could make a pan-type air-cleaner base with a foam ring sealing it to the underside of the hood. This would isolate the carburetor inlet from hot engine-compartment air and take full advantage of the ram-air effect at speed. But not us . . . we're going the tunnel-ram route.With the tunnel-ram in place, we pull the strings again to create a virtual box around the manifold, carburetors, linkage, and fuel lines. Allow at least 1 inch of space to clear moving parts and to provide an adequate swing-arc as the hood is raised and lowered on its hinges.
Mark the corners where the strings intersect with the grout marker, then draw a perimeter outline of the cut zone using a straight edge to connect the dots. Note the difference in the markings for the single-four barrel hole and the tunnel-ram hole.With the hood off the car, the cutting begins. A variable-speed jigsaw makes it easier to control the cut and follow the painted lines. The proper blade for cutting thin-gauge sheetmetal like the Rambler's hood has 36 teeth per inch. Coarser blades will yield jagged edges.The first trial fit of the hood shows that all measurements are correct and the carburetors, fuel lines, and linkage have ample clearance. Now we can move on to mounting that groovy hemi scoop.Thanks to a central character line running down the Rambler hood--and a similar feature on the scoop, centering the scoop on the hood can be done almost entirely by eye. A tape measure is used to ensure equal distance and symmetry between the edges of the scoop and hood. Once the scoop is centered, the grout marker is used to draw an outline.The outline also has tangential indicating lines that correspond to lines drawn on the scoop for exact mock-up placement during the fastener drilling operation.The Unibit will be used to drill a series of 316-inch fastener holes in the scoop and hood. But this is where things get tricky and require some planning.Because of the maze of stiffening braces running beneath the hood skin, don't make the mistake of assuming that the fastener pattern that works for the scoop will work for the hood. Unless you are prepared to remove it entirely (and suffer a floppy steel hood) the bracing calls the shots as to where the fasteners can go. Here is the eventual pattern of 11 rivet holes we arrived at.Here's another shot of the final fastener pattern as indicated by the temporarily placed raw rivets. To transfer this pattern to the hoodscoop, remove the rivet guides, precisely align the scoop with the pre-drawn painted outline, and tape it securely in place. Mark the scoop for drilling by poking the grout marker through the holes in the hood from below. This will transfer the fastener pattern to the bottom side of the hoodscoop flange. Now drill 316-inch holes through the white dots on the scoop flange with the Unibit.
Though nuts and bolts can be used, we chose aluminum 316-inch rivets because they're more sanitary, they won't loosen, and they won't rust if they get wet. Be sure to use flat washers whenever riveting fiberglass. They distribute the pinch load as the rivet is tightened to prevent cracked fiberglass and pull-through.From the beginning, we knew the rivet gun was too tall to be operated from inside the scoop. All rivets must be applied from beneath, thus the significance of working in harmony with the underhood bracing.
