Bulgaria sank deeper into political uncertainty after final election results published Wednesday showed that the Socialist party and potential partner MRF have failed to secure enough seats to form a government.
Both parties are now looking to the fiercely nationalist and unpredictable Ataka party for backing, raising the spectre of an unstable and short-lived government in the European Union's poorest member state.
Final results of Sunday's elections showed the outgoing GERB conservatives garnering 30.5 percent of the vote, followed by the Socialist BSP with 26.61 percent.
The Turkish minority MRF party took 11.29 percent and the ultranationalist Ataka had 7.30 percent.
Electoral commission spokesman Biser Troyanov announced late Wednesday that GERB obtained 97 seats and BSP 84. MRF meanwhile took 36 and Ataka 23.
Ousted premier Boyko Borisov's GERB party has kept mum about its plans, but it is isolated as all the other three parties have refused to join forces with it.
With a combined 120 seats, the Socialists and the MRF are meanwhile forced to seek Ataka's backing if they want to form a government of technocrats.
Analysts said any such consensus government would be short-lived. However, they also noted that there was no better option.
"There is no other solution than a government of experts based on a programme with clear priorities," said analyst Zhivko Gerogiev.
"The alternative is new elections which risk to repeat the result of Sunday's vote," he said.
"I urgently call for nationally responsible behaviour from politicians and the formation of a government," Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev said Wednesday, adding that he planned to convene parliament by end-May and hand the first mandate to form a government soon after that.
"Bulgaria does not need repeat elections now. This will be a prerequisite for further destabilisation," he added.
A wave of massive and sometimes violent anti-poverty and corruption street rallies -- the biggest spontaneous public unrest in 16 years -- swept Bulgaria last winter, forcing Borisov to throw in the towel on February 20.
A mere 51.33 percent of Bulgaria's 6.9 million eligible voters however cast ballots in Sunday's election after a campaign marred by allegations of vote-rigging.
On the eve of the vote, prosecutors discovered some 350,000 illegal ballot papers at a printing firm in the northwestern town of Kostinbrod.
Media reports linked the owner of the firm to GERB, prompting Socialist leader Sergey Stanishev to accuse the conservatives of planning "a total falsification of the election".
Bulgaria's chief prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov confirmed on Wednesday that the extra ballot papers were identical to real ballot papers and not refuse as the owner of the printer had claimed.
They were packed and ready to be sent to different constituencies, and were kept by the printer illegally and without the necessary security measures, Tsatsarov added.
Borisov on Wednesday challenged the prosecutors' move to unveil the scandal a day before the vote, saying it cost his party five to six percent in support.
But Tsatsarov hit back saying, "we just did our job".
"We have not linked the ballots to any party... I do not see why one political force should identify itself with them," he said.

I'm new to WP, know absolutely nothing about CSS and need some advice on customizing Twenty Twelve theme (of which I created a child theme).
First, I'd like to add a small image to the header, but also retain the text beside the image (not on it). What code should I put and where? Also, in which directory do I put the image and how do I reference it so that it displays?
Thank you in advance!

This was the first waste characterization done by SCU, with help from Mission Trail Waste Systems and Julie Muir of PSSI, Stanford University.
We analyzed general SCU garbage, from the Facilities compactor. Only 26% of items were landfill, and most of the rest could have been composted or recycled.
This waste characterization inspired the Office of Sustainability and Facilities to start expanding the University's recycling education and introducing a compost program.
We did this waste characterization to analyze the amount
of pre- and post-consumer waste from Market Square that could be diverted either by recycling or composting. According to weight, half of the waste could have instead been composted and according to volume, half of the waste could have instead been recycled. Also, we found that a lot of silverware was thrown out, so we need to focus on keeping reusables out of the trash as well.
We did this waste characterization during the fall quarter after we first implemented the composting program in Benson.
The recycling category had the highest percentage volume which means we need to work on our recycling education. We still found some reusable plates and utensils from Benson.
This waste characterization, held during winter quarter, was not as good as the last one. The amount of landfill items decreased (an ideal waste characterization would have 100% landfill items), and we found a significant amount of plastic water bottles that still contained water; plastic made up the highest percentage of volume out of all the recyclables.
The upside to this waste characterization is that there was a significant decrease in the amount of compostable items in the dumpster.
However, recyclables still comprised nearly half the percentage of total items. Surprisingly, we found an unopened Monopoly game.
This characterization showed a significant improvement landfill percentage; almost half of items sorted were landfill waste. We did see a large amount of paperboard thrown out, which suggests that we need to increase education about paperboard. We are still seeing Benson plates thrown away in the trash.
This waste characterization was different than the ones we've held for residence halls in the past. Stephanie Hughes' Joy of Garbage class (40 students) sorted through trash from Leavey Events Center, a building that hasn't yet gone through the bin switch.
[Because the waste characterization had so many sorters, there is a much greater chance of sorting error.]
We noticed some things such as the prevalence of plastic bottles over glass or aluminum cans, and the large volume of paper towels that are being thrown away. Perhaps paper towel conservation can be a new facet of our recycling education and programs. Also, as demonstrated by the pie chart, there is a higher percentage of recyclable items than landfill, so we need to work on our recycling education overall.
Loyola Hall is a mix of staff/faculty offices and classrooms. This building has switched to the new recycling program. In comparison to past characterizations, we can see an increase of landfill waste by roughly 20%. The data suggests that the recycling program switch has been relatively successful thus far. Of course, we hope to get to 100% "landfill" in our trash cans... we're on our way!
O'Connor Hall is a mix of faculty offices and classrooms. This building has switched to the new recycling program. We also found items that we believe came from Alumni Science, a building that has not switched to the new recycling program yet.
In comparison to past characterizations, we can see an increase of landfill waste by roughly 20%. The data suggests that perhaps the recycling program switch has been relatively successful thus far. Of course, we hope to get to 100% "landfill" in our trash cans... we're on our way!

BMW M6 ProblemsRubbing Noise From Rear Differential When Turning
During tight, slow speed turning, a rubbing noise can sometimes be heard from the rear of the car. This noise is likely coming from the clutches in the limited slip differential. If the noise persists, the differential fluid can be replaced with a special oil available from BMW. On higher mileage vehicles, this noise may never be eliminated unless the differential is replaced.
BMW M6 QuestionsOil cooler leaking should I get it welded where it leaking at or justreplace it (1 answer)
I have a distinct clunking noise from the rear differential especially in the drive mode of the smg. After coming to a complete stop, the transmission is slow to engage first gear upon acceleration and again experience a loud clunk and slam into gear.

BMW M6 RecallsThe Engine Oil Pump May Fail
Due to a manufacturing process error, the oil pump driveshaft could separate from the pump rotor. Separation of the pump's rotor could lead to a sudden loss of oil pressure causing the possibility of complete engine failure, resulting in an engine stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Dealers will replace the engine oil pump to correct this concern.
The insulated connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. Loosening of the connection can cause an increase in electrical resistance and overheating of the cable connection, which could lead to a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will secure the battery bolt cable connection as necessary to correct this concern.

PlayStation dev boss Yoshida to hold talks with more studios to foster support
Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has admitted for the first time that the PlayStation business has an uphill battle convincing some publishers to commit to its next-generation portable.
In an interview with PlayStation the Official Magazine, Yoshida said: "We're having a more difficult time than we had anticipated in terms of getting support from third-party publishers, but that's our job. We will continue to talk to development communities and publishing partners and tell them why Vita can provide a great experience for the IPs they have."He added that the upcoming Assassin's Creed Vita game could be a testament to the appeal of developing games for Vita.
Several developers have previously told CVG that building games for PS Vita is a considerably easier experience compared to other PlayStation systems.
Publishers may have cold feet on committing for PS Vita due to its relatively low critical mass of customers. Sony announced on February 28th that the Vita had shipped 1.2 million units into retail worldwide, along with about 2 million game units.
Last week it emerged that Sony has reduced its portable games sales forecast from 16 million units down to12 million.
The platform holder has begun to combine PS Vita and PSP sales as a single 'portable' sales figure - making it difficult to track the progress of the new handheld.

Sony 'struggling' to convince some publishers to back Vita

Not surprised. This the kind of situation that can happen that people who adopt the "I play games not sales" motto seem to not realize. I have a Vita but I'm growing concerned about its future.

If the sales are bad, or if any of these systems go belly up; it cannot be our fault for not thinking about it by saying I "play games not sales".
Quite honestly, isn't that what these companies want us to do?
If I'm not mistaken, it is a large part of their motivation.

I don't really like any portable gaming devices but this is bad news for those that own the Vita. Things have to get better in the next 6 to 9 months or this will get even uglier.

All i can say is that Assassins Creed Vita and CoD Vita better be good... or else.You cannot mess with the greatness that is Lupe Fiasco

Hope it does turn out good, so once a price cut comes along the Vita has some solid games and it'll be cheaper, sells increase and more devs will be attracted to make games. Hopefully japan sales will pick up round the holidays/early next year from the RPGs coming out like the F2P MMO's n such.Bow down before Drippy - Lord High Lord of the Fairies

Remember as soon as PS1 emulation comes down the library of games grows exponentially!! I'm sure Sony is counting on that quite a bit....could be why you aren't seeing tons of first party studios working on them....those people are probably working quite a bit on new IPs for the PS4 launch next holiday. That said I don't see Sony's game plan on helping this device. Is there something with the Gaikai deal that could be done on a Vita to bring more gaming....guess I don't know...otherwise I don't see a lot of games down the pipe.

Sony need to get Borderlands 2 with cross play on there. Also, Vita isn't even 6 months old yet. There are a lot of games in the pipe line. I reckon we'll see a price cut in another 6 months, by then there will be more games and the content and price will be closer to that sweet spot. History repeats, ala 3DS.

They've got to get this nailed down and fast. It's stuck in a catch-22 situation where it's failing because it has a lack of games but publishers are not willing to make games for it.
A price cut is what is needed. It worked for the 3DS, well that and a few first party games.
08-10-2012 #12
I'm not one for portable gaming, really because I am never in a situation where such a console would come in handy.
I'm not wishing failure against the Vita or any other future consoles, but I personally wish more effort and resources were put into home consoles.Disclaimer: I may or may not know what I'm talking about.

Hopefully Sony can do something to remedy the lack of interest in developing for the system. A price cut would certainly help things, but they need some big time software. On the the other hand the fact that the original PSP is still strong in Japan isn't helping matters at all. Some more games developed for the Vita, and only the Vita in mind would be a welcome change. I know some like the cross platform play stuff, but it's no my thing.

Vita needs games
Third part devs need to see their costs of making games will return a profit ( so the hardware has to sell very well, lots of users = more games)
Either Sony cut the price ( i believe the vita is worth the price compared to how expensive other gadgets are, but others don't see it this way and is affecting the vita) or TPDs just make games which is unlikely as proven here.

Definitely seeing how people can look at price first, games later. Put the wifi @ $199 for starters, drop the price on the vita mem cards a great amount, then we'll see some $#@! move!

Agreed about the 1st party commitment to the Vita. But then again, we're not too sure what Sucker Punch and Media Molecule are up to. Guerilla as well, but I'd assume they're on KZ4 and some other PS4 title as they've got a bigger team, or was it two teams?
I think Soul Sacrifice is a 1st party game, and the best games on the system right now are all either 1st party or published by Sony. If they're serious about the device ever becoming anything close to a success (and in the process encourage 3rd partys to take it seriously), then I agree that some of their A-list teams need to show some more interest in it, as that is one of Sony's major strengths in this industry: first party talent
Announce some games and drop the price, like Nintendo did. Don't show us vaporware with no information like FFXHD and Blops:declassified.

The Gourds
It's pretty openly clichéd to say Austin, Texas, hatches great music, what with class acts like Spoon, Explosions in the Sky, Okkervil River (by way of Minnesota), Wayne "The Train" Hancock, and Dale Watson et al. rocking the city's confines on a regular basis, not to mention the festival-slash-popular public television show Austin City Limits and the annual South by Southwest showcase of musical up-and-comers. So let's just add insult to injury here and say: Austin faves the Gourds make great music. Oh, and you should go see them tomorrow. The rootsy, countrified rockers—boosted by accordion, mandolin, banjo, and other bluegrass staples—capture an Austin sensibility unlike the others. Case in point: The quintet's cover of frat-boy fave "Gin and Juice" beats Snoop's original. The quintet's quick-stepping tunes and quirky lyrics will hopscotch their way into your heart.

Lukas Nelson And The Promise Of The Real
Above: Promotional Graphic of Musical Artist Lukas Nelson And The Promise Of The Real.
The music of Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real creates a contemporary emotion deeply connected to its various roots.
Their sound is reminiscent of traditional rock and roll merged with blues, psychedelia, hints of country and a touch of anything else that works.
Rarely does a young musician get to meet or know the legends that have molded the landscape of music and its elaborate history. As the son of American music icon Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson had the rare opportunity to experience playing with such legends as Neil Young, Kris Kristoferson and Bob Dylan.
These influences played a natural role in the development of his musical foundation Southern Blues and Texas Folk Rock. However, like all artists and musicians, Lukas desired a unique sound and style that could satisfy his own musical soul.
Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real will also be performing with Revoltaire, a band that blends Rock N Roll and gritty American Roots music.
The concert will take place on April 11, 2012 at the Belly Up Tavern. Show begins at 9:00 PM, doors open at 8:00 PM.
Belly Up Tavern: 143 South Cedros Avenue Solana Beach, CA 92075 Google Map.

Mean circulations of boundary-layer rolls in lake-effect snow storms

An observational study of the roll-average flow fields of boundary-layer rolls is presented. Data used for this purpose were collected by dual-Doppler radar and aircraft measurements taken over southern Lake Michigan during the 1983/1984 field operations of Project Lake Snow. The roll circulations agreed well with findings of past observational, numerical and theoretical studies, with cross-roll components roughly 10% of the convective internal boundary layer (CIBL)-mean wind speeds and weaker vertical components. Along-roll winds were systematically stronger in the rollupdraft regions than in the roll-downdraft regions, probably due to distortion of the along-roll wind profile by the rolls. Comparison of observed wind profiles to those required by roll formation mechanisms found by past numerical and theoretical studies suggested that the observed rolls were formed by the along-roll wind shear (Asai, 1970) or wind shear curvature (Kuettner, 1971) in the lowest 0.2Z i, whereZ i is the height of the top of the CIBL.

"The Vagina Monologues" at Rhodes will open on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14., and run through Saturday, Feb. 16. in Blount Auditorium. An information fair will be set up at 6:30 p.m. prior to the play that begins at 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public, and tickets may be purchased at the door or reserved through e-mail at email@example.com. All funds raised will benefit local women's charities.
Last year, more than 1,150 communities hosted V-Day benefits around the world raising funds and awareness to end violence against women. These highly successful events raised over $6 million through the performance of Eve Ensler's award-winning play, "The Vagina Monologues."
Hot on the heels of their success, Rhodes College has joined this global movement as part of the V-Day 2008 College Campaign. Hailed by The New York Times as "funny" and "poignant" and by The Daily News as "intelligent" and "courageous," "The Vagina Monologues" was first performed off-Broadway by Ensler and dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women's experiences.
Ensler has performed the play to great acclaim throughout the world. In February 1998, Villard Books/Random House first published The Vagina Monologues, which includes a foreword by Gloria Steinem.

All Rise...
Judge Kent Dixon's complete story is a pop-up book.
The Charge
"To my mind the world of today awoke April 15th, 1912."—Jack B. Thayer, Titanic survivor
The Case
For better or worse, as we approach the centennial of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it's no surprise we're seeing the resurfacing of previously-released books, documentaries, and other material on the topic. It's a sad fact of life that much of this content is being released largely to capitalize on public interest, but hopefully that same interest results in a solemn understanding of the immense tragedy that occurred so long ago.
While James Cameron's Titanic was largely historically accurate—following actual events and representing many of the key players in the drama—the real story was couched in enough fiction that the film should not be considered an infallible account of events as they happened. It's quite likely the world will never know the whole story, with even survivor's accounts differing wildly on what happened as the ship sank. Debuting on History Channel in 1994, "Death of a Dream" and "The Legend Lives On" are two parts of what is likely the most complete Titanic account we may ever see. Drawing on survivor stories, newsreel footage, numerous archival images, and opinions of historians, this documentary expounded significantly on what I already knew of Titanic. It's a solid history lesson on one of, if not the most significant maritime disaster.
History's repackaging of Titanic: The Complete Story now includes a third documentary called "Titanic's Achilles Heel," that digs deeper into the construction of the ship, attempting to confirm whether certain design flaws contributed to making the iceberg collision more disastrous than it might have been otherwise. While there's some interesting content, it tends to be overshadowed by a somewhat sensationalistic approach fueled by the soundtrack and much of its narration. One key piece of evidence revealed is the fact that an expansion joint built into Titanic's hull may have failed, causing it to split at a far shallower angle than James Cameron's film and expert opinion had previously indicated.
Since it's unlikely the average person would have the time to dig through
all of the available historical content, Titanic: The Complete
Story is likely the best way to gain a comprehensive understanding of the
timeline. From the construction of the ship and her launch, to the collision and
sinking, through more recent efforts to understand other possible factors that
contributed to the tragedy, this DVD does a commendable job of conveying a huge
amount of information in a respectively short amount of time. If you already own
the 2002 History Channel release of the same name, you will already have seen
two of the three documentaries, with "Achilles Heel" as the only new
addition here.
Presented in both standard definition full frame and fake widescreen (matted 1.78:1) with Dolby 2.0 Stereo audio, the A/V presentation does and adequate job presenting music and narration, historical content, and more recent interviews and footage equally. The only bonus feature is a timeline viewers can click on for basic text information.
If your understanding of the Titanic and the lives lost can be summarized by a French-Canadian woman singing about hearts going on, invest the time in viewing Titanic: The Complete Story. While it's likely not as complete as its producers would have us believe, it effectively chronicles the key events surrounding the disaster, delivering it all in a fairly tidy package.

Not guilty.

Oh, April Fools Day, you are a bittersweet pill. When I was a news editor, I despised the annual flood of faux announcements and prank projects that came crashing into my professional life the last day of March and made a mess out of the usual news cycle. But as a media consumer, I get no small amount of entertainment from the ridiculous stories that pop up online during the 24-36 hours surrounding April 1.
While I'm glad some of those fake stories have proved to be exactly that (Lady Gaga playing Dazzler in X-Men: Days of Future Past comes to mind), there have been more than a few that I wished were true – like last year's widely circulated article about a working Iron Man suit for sale in the U.K. And those have always been my favorite products of the April Fools Day madness.
With that in mind, I've come up with a few stories that I'd like to see pop up in my newsfeed – if only to spend a few more minutes thinking about how great it would be if they became a reality.
Legendary Pictures Announces Plans For Godzilla / Pacific Rim Crossover
Not content to let Disney and Warner Bros. have all the fun with their respective comic-book universes, Legendary Pictures announced today that it will bring together cinema's "King of all Monsters" and the giant robots of Guillermo Del Toro's monster-fighting epic Pacific Rim in an upcoming film that establishes a unified narrative universe for two of the company's biggest sci-fi properties.
In announcing the project, the studio acknowledged the difficulty of bringing together the worlds of the two films, which each suffer catastrophic damage as a result of their respective monsters, but hinted that certain plot elements in either 2013's Pacific Rim or the upcoming Godzilla reboot could allow for the cross-pollination of characters. With Del Toro's film making it clear that little is known about the mysterious portals that allowed the monstrous kaiju to enter our world, those portals could be one of the aforementioned, crossover-friendly plot elements.
Thanks to Pacific Rim's impressive overseas box-office revenue (which made up for the film's poor performance in the U.S.), Del Toro's vision for a world in which humans fought giant monsters using massive robots was given a second lease at life on the big screen, and the performance of Godzilla at the box office will likely go a long way toward determining how soon this project goes into production.
Of course, along with the world-spanning crossover element, the project's writers will also need to contend with some potential scale issues, as all signs point to the title character in Godzilla being quite a bit larger than the kaiju of Pacific Rim. In the end, though, fans of both properties will likely agree that these are good problems to have.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Sequel To Be Titled "Wraith War," Says Disney
Following on the heels of the green-lit sequel to Captain America: The Winter Soldier and their habit of generating buzz through title announcements, Disney announced today that not only has a sequel to the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy received official approval, but it already has a title, too.
The follow-up to this year's adventure through the cosmic side of Marvel's cinematic universe will be titled Guardians of the Galaxy: Wraith War, and anyone who recognizes the alien species referenced in the title is certainly wondering about the greater implications of this title on the Marvel universe.
The shape-changing Dire Wraiths were first introduced in the debut issue of Rom, a long-running series that was initially conceived as a tie-in for a toy but ended up becoming far more popular than the product that spawned it and ran for 75 issues. The series chronicled the adventures of a cyborg "Spaceknight" named Rom who arrived on Earth in pursuit of the evil Dire Wraiths, who had infiltrated the planet and were grooming it to be their next conquest in a bloody cosmic invasion.
While the Wraiths have popped up periodically in various series since the conclusion of Rom in 1986, the title character itself remains tied up in legal limbo due to rights issues and has been conspicuously absent from recent cosmic events in the Marvel Comics universe. The announcement of Wraith War is likely to bring fresh attention to the popular character's uncertain status, and prompt some questions about whether the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel could serve as Rom's "Welcome Back" party – or at the very least, bring Rom's cyborg pals to the big screen along with their enemies.
Unbreakable 2 Confirmed For 2015
The film that's widely regarded as one of the first "dark" superhero stories to hit the big screen will finally gets its sequel, 14 years after it premiered.
Production on the sequel to M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable will begin later this year, according to today's announcement from Touchstone Pictures. Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson will reprise their roles from the original film, which chronicled the story of security guard David Dunn (Willis), who discovers that he possesses superhuman powers.
Originally released in 2000, Unbreakable was a modest success and achieved a cult following due to its mature take on the modern superhero story, and is often credited with helping to usher in the modern age of "dark," serious superhero movies produced with adult audiences in mind. In the official statement announcing the Unbreakable sequel, the studio indicated that the sequel will be set well after the events of the original film, and will follow Willis' character as he learns more about his powers and the responsibility that comes with them.
While the announcement confirmed Jackson's return as brilliant-but-frail villain Elijah Price, the studio also hinted that the sequel will introduce a new villain that will test the limits of David's abilities and make him question whether he's the only one of his kind in the world.
And along with those three stories, here are a few more in headline form that I'd love to see – or better yet, to see become a reality:

Jalabert, who won the Vuelta a Espana in 1995 and was world time trial champion in 1997, was on his bike when he was hit by a car travelling in the opposite direction near Montauban, a town in the south of France.
"He is not in danger," a spokesman said.
The vehicle suddenly turned left, cutting across Jalabert who had the right of way, the police said.
The 44-year-old suffered several fractures and was briefly unconscious when the emergency services arrived.
He was transferred to hospital to undergo surgery, a source close to the former rider told French radio RTL.

A research effort between science educators at the University of New Hampshire and Valley High School (pseudonym) was initiated to examine the conceptual development of high school students' understanding of scientific research over an entire school year. Students were involved in a series of classroom projects that were guided by curricula designed to foster "student scientist partnerships" (SSPs). Data for this research consist of audio-recorded, semi-structured student interviews which were transcribed verbatim. Seven students were interviewed six times over the school year. A content analysis of the transcripts was performed and the results were compared to a model of scientific research developed for the purpose of this study. This model comprises the major phases of the scientific enterprise, including the development of researchable questions, data collection, data analysis, drawing of conclusions, and communication of results. Results indicate that students' conceptual understanding of scientific research rarely evolved over the course of the year, remaining rudimentary. Students had uniformed notions of scientific questioning, viewed data collection as only following prescribed steps and ultimately repetitive, and had little experience with data analysis or the communication of scientific findings. Critical factors contributing to these student perceptions were insufficient exposure, a lack of a sense of partnership by students, and the design of the SSP.

ItsMe!: I know someone who was severely disciplined for leaving a "secure" drawer unlocked in his private office, while he was still in his office. He was supposed to take out the file(s) he wanted and lock the drawer again. He left it unlocked when a "security checker" came into his office to make sure that the drawer was locked, and it wasn't. Compare that to Hillary who put top secrets onto an unsecure server, which was accessible by anyone who was on the Internet!!

July 23, 2005 by Patrick Baker
TRENTON, Mich. - In a week of amazing weights in the 2005 EverStart Northern opener, pro Chris Cox of Appleton, Wis., capped it with an astounding win by way of a two-day final-round weight of 45 pounds, 2 ounces. Perhaps just as amazing is the fact that Cox achieved all this in the wake of a near-fatal heart attack earlier in the year.
After his first year of fishing the Wal-Mart FLW Tour as a pro last season, Cox had a scary start to 2005. He said he'd been suffering from what he thought was heartburn for several days leading up to an ice-fishing trip he was about to take with his young son in January. When his condition worsened, he drove himself to the hospital instead, where he was told he was lucky to have made the trip. Not long after, he had a heart attack that required emergency life-saving measures to bring him back.
"I was dead on the table ... they shocked me three times," Cox said minutes after his comeback win Saturday.
Cox is only 38, but a hereditary heart condition related to "bad cholesterol," which he said should be manageable from here on out, almost made him a victim. Three stents and eight weeks of rehabilitation later, Cox was back to doing what he does best: fishing and fathering - his wife just gave birth to a baby girl three weeks ago.
It was clear from his stellar performance this week in the EverStart Series Northern Division opener on the Detroit River that Cox is hardly the victim type. Just ask his opponents.
Cox, who has qualified for the EverStart Series Championship both years he fished the Northern Division, blew everyone away with an astounding sack weighing 24-15 Friday - it would have broken the 25-pound mark if not for a dead-fish penalty - and then sealed the deal today with another massive stringer weighing 20-3. All totaled, he weighed in a staggering 84 pounds of smallmouth bass over the course of the four-day tournament, worth nearly $20,000 in cash plus a new fully rigged Ranger boat.
"It was a common reef ... a rock pile about 20 yards long," Cox said of his tournament-winning location, which he had entirely to himself until today. The rock pile is in Lake Erie, exactly 35.7 miles from the launch site on the Detroit River. This morning he said there were a few local boaters, who had likely heard about his king-sized sack Friday, who followed him there.
But the company was not enough to shut down the location, though he moved to his secondary area for a while later in the day, not far from other top-10 sticks including runner-up Eric Struif and Erie-Detroit River king Steve Clapper.
"It slowed down for a little bit there, so I moved to my secondary area," he said, which wasn't too far away. But it was his more pristine reef that truly made the win possible - that and a steady bite all week at an exact depth of 26 to 27 feet.
"I fished (a Detroit River tourney) two years ago, and everybody knew about (the reef)," Cox said. "But either everyone forgot about it, or they weren't biting for anyone in practice. I don't know."
Cox spent about six days prefishing, getting reacquainted with the rock pile, "fine-tuning the location" and marking its highest point. He dead-sticked a cucumber Poor Boy gobie tube with gold flakes, "just laid it and dragged it," pretty much throughout the entire tournament, he said. He said the real element of his drop-shot rig that brought so much success, however, was the 1/2-ounce Lindy rattling weight that drug behind on the rocks.
So far this year Cox has only fished a Wal-Mart BFL event and some local tournaments, including some with his wife. But he is registered for the entire Northern Division season and is considering trying to sign up for the EverStart event on Lake Champlain later this year. With a quick lead out of the gate for the points race in the North, Cox may very well be championship-bound as well, so 2005 could easily shape up to be the biggest year of his career - and it's clearly already been a life-changing one.
Struif satisfied with second
Pro Eric Struif of Lake Villa, Ill., made a valiant effort today to make up a 3-pound, 12-ounce deficit for a shot at winning the Northern opener - and that after hauling in a huge 21-3 sack Friday. Though he improved by an ounce and landed the largest sack of the day at 21-4, Struif had to settle for second place a second day in a row with a final-round total of 42-7. But the finish was not sour grapes; he said it was sweet, not to mention worth $9,600.
"This goes down as one of my best tournaments," he said. "This fishery is incredible."
Struif - who fished a tube, a drop-shot with a 4-inch worm or a Senko all week - said his area was productive for four days straight as well. Struif was one of the only pros, if not the only angler, who improved with each day: 18-0, 21-1, 21-3 and 21-4.
"I had a lot to make up," he said. "I'm always hopeful ... but Chris is a great fisherman."
Kiriyama debuts in EverStart Series with third-place finish
Pro Kota Kiriyama - who has recently relocated to Birmingham, Ala., and is not now living in California as was reported earlier this week - got bit this week, and not just by quality bass, but also the EverStart bug. The BASS veteran was fishing his first Wal-Mart FLW Outdoors event this week, and he said he had a great time making such a big splash.
"I love the EverStart; I'm pumped," he said. "I like the format here. This is my first tournament with you guys, and I really like the organization."
Later he said he intends to sign up for more events - some more Northern Division tourneys with any luck.
"I've never been to a place like this where I can catch this many smallmouths," he said.
And catch them he did. He bagged an impressive 37 pounds, 1 ounce over the finals, worth $8,650, by fishing Lake Erie in Canadian waters, in roughly the same area where most of the top 10 competitors were finding success. He said he fished a green-pumpkin or watermelon tube with "a what do you call it - jighead? That's all you need."
Master of the Erie-Detroit-St. Clair system finishes fourth
Pro Steve Clapper of Lima, Ohio, is renowned for his mastery of the Detroit River, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, all of which were open to competitors this week. In fact, he recently won his fourth Detroit River BFL event, and has logged many, many other wins and top-10s on these bodies of water.
It was Erie he chose this week upon with to work his Northern magic, hauling in 35-3 over the final two days, worth $7,650. Clapper improved his catch today by one fish and nearly 2 pounds.
"I'm just happy I got this far," he said. "I've seen a lot of fish caught, but I really scrambled."
Clapper's "scrambling" on Erie is the average angler's good day. He made the top-10 cut and then placed fourth fishing a few rigs: a prototype swimbait, and a "Big Dude" jighead by Right Bite with a ¾-ounce Dream tube, "jerking it hard."
Woolley moves up to finish fifth
Pro Michael Woolley of West Bloomfield, Mich., landed an 18-11 sack today for a final-round total weighing 33-15, worth a check for $7,150.
He said the key to his success was in the details of the underwater structure he found on Erie. The humps he chose to fish had subtle, 2-foot drops where he found his fish.
"You look around for differences in bottom change - like rolling humps," he said. "Those fish are hiding in those pockets. They may seem little, but a 2-foot change is a big change for a fish."
Woolley was casting and then dragging a drop-shot rig over the humps. He fished a Senko wacky-style for his bigger fish as well as a watermelon-cream gobie.
Rest of the best
All of the top five pros caught limits, and rounding out the top 10 to conclude the EverStart Series Northern event on the Detroit River:
6th: Art Ferguson III of St. Clair Shores, Mich., 10 bass, 33-5, $6,150
7th: Bryan Coates of Amherst, Ohio, seven bass, 29-9,
8th: Dick Shaffer of Rockford, Ohio, seven bass, 26-3, $4,650
9th: Charlie Hartley of Grove City, Ohio, seven bass, 25-13, $4,150
10th: Scott Emery of Livonia, Mich., six bass, 17-5, $3,650
The next EverStart Series Northern Division event will be held Aug. 3-6 on the Mississippi River near Onalaska, Wis.

Breaking down Georgia Tech, BYU's week 7 opponent
QB Vad Lee started off the season well with 418 yards and seven touchdowns passing, with 180 yards and three touchdowns rushing in his first three games against Elon, Duke and North Carolina. Against Virginia Tech and Miami (Fla.), however, he threw for just 207 yards, rushed for 61 more, didn't score any touchdowns and threw three interceptions.
Now he has to deal with a defense and a coach in Bronco Mendenhall who are experienced in stopping the triple option. Unless Lee can step up his game to where it was before the Virginia Tech game, it's going to be a long day for the Yellow Jackets.
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
You need to factor in the number of plays. Yes, the Yellow Jackets are yielding
120 yards per game, but on 30 carries a game. If they give up (on average) 4
yards per rush or more (as they have against UNC, Duke, and Miami) against BYU,
I think they will be in trouble. The big question is which pace wins out. Ga
Tech is allowing the 3rd fewest plays per game to opponents at just under 58
while BYU is averaging just under 91 plays per game and is 4th in the country.
The question is which team will dictate pace.
If BYU's defense gets stops and the offense moves as fast as they have (with success), then Georgia Tech is going to be in a sticky spot trying to come back without the necessary tools (no solid pass game). If the BYU offense falls flat and GaTech creates long scoring drives, killing clock, it will be a tough one for Cougar fans.
At home, at elevation, and with a HC who has proven to be effective against the triple option, I look at BYU as having the edge. Vegas agrees, with BYU giving 7 at home.

Good points WisCoug, also the change in time zones and altitude will have some
affect as well as the game wears on. I think eventually the pace will wear out
the GT defense.
We've done a lot of bend but don't break on defense this year and not really gotten to the QB or into the backfield much this year compared to last year. We have 6 sacks in 5 games and not a lot of TFL's. We've been pretty good up front but I wonder how much the pace is affecting our own defense, especially in the front 7.

Beautiful pop piece. I love the contrast.
wow awesome drawing style, really like the red on white
Gorge! Havent seem many of these but for the character it really works, she so looks like an old nightclub singer. love the positioning of the mike!
If it was on the cover of some classy 40's stylin' eatery, I wouldnt be surprised. Its seems to hit that right mixture of curves and straight lines that makes it look very Art Deco. Love it.
Very simple but very efficient! Congratulations!
I've always found your art inspirational (as another fan of drawing women more than anything ), and this piece is just brimming with sexiness and excellence. The composition is wonderfully original and in captures the character amazingly.
Bravo; this is a masterpiece in my books.
Bravo; this is a masterpiece in my books.
Very classy!

Medicare & Social Security
Prior to its creation in 1965, only 50 percent of seniors had health insurance. Today, Medicare provides one of the most important guarantees in our society – the guarantee that if you are an older American and you get sick, you will get the care that you need without going broke. Brian is committed to protecting the Medicare guarantee, opposing plans that would force seniors to buy insurance on the open market, and making sure that the program remains affordable and continues gives seniors access to the care they deserve.
Since 1935, Social Security has ensured older citizens can retire without fear of significant financial hardship, surviving spouses and children are taken care of after the death of a loved one, and that persons with disabilities receive needed assistance to live full and productive lives. Throughout his time in Congress, Brian has fought efforts to privatize or threaten Americans' Social Security benefits. Brian has also stood up for keeping local Social Security field offices open to maintain accessibility and prevent claims backlogs. Brian has introduced H.R. 3997, the Social Security Administration Accountability Act, which would require that the Social Security Administration provide adequate justification before closing any field offices.
More on Medicare & Social Security
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) spoke on the House Floor advocating for legislation that would create a more accurate formula to determine the annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for those who receive Social Security retirement benefits. The bill, the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) Act of 2015 (H.R. 3351), would result in a more accurate measure of the cost of living for seniors.
Congressman Higgins & Mayor Kulpa Announce Plan to Maintain Social Security Services in Williamsville
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) and Village of Williamsville Mayor Brian Kulpa announced a plan to preserve access to Social Security services for residents in northern Erie County. Under an agreement with the Village of Williamsville, residents will be able to connect with Social Security Administration (SSA) caseworkers directly from Village Hall.
Senator Schumer & Congressman Higgins Call for Immediate Halt of Efforts to Close Amherst Social Security Office
Following a call with Social Security Acting Commissioner Carolyn Colvin this morning, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer and Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) are insisting the Social Security Administration halt all plans to close the field office in Amherst, New York.
Schumer, Higgins Request In-Person Meeting with Head of Social Security Admin To Raise Serious Concerns About the Slated Closure of the Amherst SS Office – Will Push Colvin to Reverse Course and Keep Amherst SS Office Open
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer and Congressman Brian Higgins requested an in-person meeting with the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) Carolyn Colvin in Washington DC to raise concerns about the slated closure of the Amherst Social Security Office. Schumer and Higgins will make the case that the Amherst Office is efficient and has sufficient demand to warrant continued operation. They are pressing Acting Commissioner Colvin to hear out their arguments and they both will urge the Commissioner to reverse course and keep Amherst open.

A Survey Using Constraints to Decision-Making for Fault Tolerance in Business Processes
Sometimes the business processes do not work how it is expected. In these cases, a diagnosis process has to be executed to determine the responsible activity or activities of the fault in order to substitute it or them for a correct activity. The aim of this paper is describe the necessary steps to find out another service that can replace it in an efficient way. In order to automate the search and substitution of activities, the authors propose to describe the functionality of the tasks using constraints, making easier the determination of the possible activities that could substitute everyone faulty activities in the business process.

For those of us living in the Midwest — and perhaps throughout the country — we have become familiar with a weather term "polar vortex." No doubt you've heard the phrase pinging around the news media in recent weeks. One of the coldest Arctic outbreaks in two decades has blanketed a significant portion of our country, bringing bitterly cold temperatures to the Midwest, South, and East.
This unusually cold weather has likely put a deep freeze on retail sales, also. Not only did the retail sector experience a lackluster holiday shopping season, but now they are also hit with the reality that some shoppers are simply not going out into the cold. The winners may very well be online retailers.
What could this signal for traditional brick-and-mortar operators? It's time to develop an omnichannel strategy before it's too late. I'm not suggesting that these retailers dip their toes into the icy water, but rather they take a polar plunge … without hesitation.
Here are five strategies for retailers who want to get started:
The evolution towards an integrated physical, digital, mobile, and social shopping experience is underway. Retailers are increasingly moving towards cross-channel customer experiences. It will be interesting to see what happens and what works – but the chill of this winter should motivate many to get moving.

I have lately noticed in The Journal various articles on the use of ethyl chlorid as a short general anesthetic, and some specially constructed masks.
To my mind the latter are too expensive for the general practitioner, and I desire to present a method that I use in the receiving ward of the Cincinnati Hospital.
With the patient on his back, I place over his mouth and nose two layers of thin gauze. Over this I place a tin or glass funnel around the bottom of which is wrapped a towel, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The ethyl chlorid is sprayed down the small end of the funnel.
The gauze keeps the nose from being frozen, and the towel prevents too great a loss of ethyl chlorid, yet gives free access of air, so that the vapor can not be too concentrated. The patient readily goes to sleep.

Novell Offered Takeover Proposal
Novell is back on the winning side. But investment firm Elliott Associates considers its stock below where it should be. Therefore, Elliott wants to take over the Linux and NetWare firm altogether.
Novell and Elliott both confirmed the takeover proposal in a press release. According to Novell, Elliott wants to pay $5.75 per share in cash. The NASDAQ promptly reacted and Novell's share price soared by as much as 37 percent in late trading March 2, rising above Elliott's per-share offer. The NY Times reported a $2 billion offer, although this bid may go even higher.
Elliott Associates now owns 8.5 percent of Novell's outstanding shares, putting it among the highest shareholders. With the takeover it wants to strengthen Novell's weak share position, having lost 85 percent of its value in the past 10 years. Elliott considers the past years of results as unsuccessful, but didn't mention Linux or open source in particular.
Novell is considering the proposal closely. Its immediate interest might be improving sales and cutting costs more so than selling the company.

Released: Feb 01st, 2006
Running Time: 115
Director: Mario Cassini
Company: White Ghetto Films
Distribution Companies: Devil's Film
Cast: Nyomi Marcela, Desire Moore, Victoria Lan, Cherry Poppens, Kayla Marie, Valarie Vasquez, Dimond Jewelz, Mika Tan
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
Although marketed specifically as a female ejaculation release, this has a lot more going for it.
Kayla Marie very visibly gets herself off while flirting with a fella on the phone in a segment that is as hot as it is fun to watch. Cherry Poppens and Desire Moore whip out the dildos and wail upon one another's holes until a flood is released that would give Noah second thoughts. Done with themselves, they crawl over and provide a dual POV blowjob on the unidentified dude.
The rest continue with liquid lust finishes. Good stuff.
Pre-Nom for Best Specialty Release - Squirting.
Retailing: Female ejaculation, phone sex, girl/girl, POV blowjobs, toys and solo should interest customers. Stock strong.

Overall very impressive.
Possibly too many options - for a future version it might be better if you could make the unused pages from the settings 'disappear' as in a wizard-style dialogue . I am only going to be using it for the comments so the mass of other information for me is just something to wade through.

This talk was given by my manager Sandeep Singhal today. There were over 600 people at the talk! The talk was a broad overview of all the work our group is doing in the peer to peer collaboration space, and is a broader version (includes lots of details on the peer channel work we are doing with Windows Communication Foundation) of the talk I did at Meltdown.
There were some excellent questions asked, and the overall impressions tended to be quite positive. We are looking forward to hearing from you on your scenarios, so that we can incorporate any requirements that come out of it into the platform. We are looking forward to working with you, making it easy for you to build on the infrastructure we offer.
My talk is next on Thursday at 10am, and will be a deep dive into how you can do peer to peer collaboration with people located nearby. This feature is codenamed People Near Me (PNM). If you are at the PDC, I look forward to seeing you there. I'll be doing a couple of demos, showing code, and drilling down into the architecture of this feature, and how you would enhance an existing application (or build a new one) to include PNM functionality.
