The second leg of the back-to-back Masters Series events in Indian Wells, Calif., and Key Biscayne, Fla., is under way. The Sony Ericsson Open, the proclaimed fifth major, will have its share of intriguing story lines, and ESPN's Patrick McEnroe has answers for the five burning questions
After a disappointing early round loss at Indian Wells, what do you expect from Roger Federer?
McEnroe: I expect him to get back right on track. It was not a shock to finally see him lose early on. It was bound to happen at some point. I don't believe his loss to Guillermo Canas will impact him negatively. He's too good.
Unquestionably, he wants to get back to his winning ways, especially in Key Biscayne where he enjoys playing. He has won here the last two years and, if nothing else, he should be fresh physically and mentally. Federer was not shaken up after his loss in California. He understands that he is still the player to beat on tour, and his opponents know this as well.
Furthermore, the conditions here are heavier than in Indian Wells, which will help him get into a groove. It's difficult to get in a good rhythm at Indian Wells if you're out of sink because of the thin desert air. Your balls have a tendency to fly and errors occur. This will not be the case for Roger in Key Biscayne.
With the exception of Amelie Mauresmo, how important is it to finally have a full women's field? And which top-echelon player is facing the most pressure?
McEnroe: The biggest story line for me is Serena Williams, even though she is seeded 13th. When she's on -- as she proved in Australia -- Williams is the best player in the world. But, she has not played since. So questions about her fitness and amount of practice certainly are legitimate. Her sister Venus is here -- and she, too, has a tournament title this year. Neither one wants to disappoint her fans.
As for the players vying for the No. 1 ranking, Maria Sharapova really needs to get her game back on track. She lost earlier than we expected in Indian Wells after her serve went awry in a loss to Vera Zvonareva. She played really well last year, winning at Indian Wells and then reaching the final in Key Biscayne. Considering she has played more tennis than the top players, there's no reason to think she won't bounce back.
The women's field is wide open right now, as it has been for a few years. Justine Henin is playing great after missing the Australian Open and Svetlana Kuznetsova is one of the most overlooked players on tour. It's great to finally see a full field.
Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray both made splashes at the Pacific Life Open. As young as they are, can they have solid performances in consecutive Masters Series tournaments?
McEnroe: These are the two up-and-comers I believe will be most successful when all is said and done. Though they're still teenagers, both show remarkable mental and physical consistency when they play. We saw that out of Murray in his quarterfinal encounter against Tommy Haas. He went down in pain after rolling his ankle but toughed it out and won. Unfortunately he met his match in Djokovic in the next round, but we witnessed his will to fight and play.
Djokovic is a big-time player and strikes the ball very cleanly. He cracked the top 10 for the first time after his run to the final last week. It's completely plausible we'll see him at the Masters Cup in November.
Both have had ample time to recover and adjust to Key Biscayne. Irrespective of their deep run in Indian Wells, there's no reason to think both can't do well in Key Biscayne.
Andre Agassi owned this tournament in Key Biscayne. How much does the Sony Ericsson Open miss him right now?
McEnroe: He was unbelievable down here, with six championships. These conditions fit him perfectly. Moreso, the buzz Agassi created was like no other player, past or present.
While we all miss Andre, but there are a lot of other players here who create plenty of excitement.
Federer's dominance has fans flocking his every move. The resurgence of Andy Roddick has certainly helped from an American perspective. Also not to be forgotten is James Blake, who has struggled in the last month but still has a great fan base. Plus, we have the return of the Williams sisters who are playing in the same tournament for the first time all year.
We knew we were going to miss Agassi -- undoubtedly the most popular player in the last 20 years. This a great tournament and they put on a fantastic show every year, so in that sense it's not going to suffer, but yes, there is a void without him.
How difficult is it to play back-to-back Masters Series events?
McEnroe: I don't mind this setup as much as others. There are four or five days in between the two tournaments so it does not affect the finalists like Rafael Nadal and Djokovic, or the women's last two, Daniela Hantuchova and Kuznetsova.
This is a much more daunting task at Canada and Cincinnati where there is virtually no time off in between. We saw this last year with Federer. After winning in Toronto he immediately came to Cincinnati and was surprised by Andy Murray. I doubt this would have occurred if Federer had more time to recover and get a better feel for the change in conditions. I would like to see more time in between these two tournaments especially since they are Masters Series events.
This though, is a perfect setup. There's no reason the players who made deep runs in Indian Wells can't succeed in Key Biscayne this week.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Tampa Bay has been reopened after being closed to boating traffic because of a fuel spill.
Authorities say a fishing trawler and a barge collided in the bay Thursday night, spilling about 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the water.
According to the Coast Guard, the vessels collided about two miles northwest of Manbirtee Key near the Sunshine Skyway bridge.
Fog and darkness hampered initial attempts to clean up the spill.

On my main index template (index.php), I have the following bit of code to restrict the categories that are displayed to just my blog, updates, and uncategorized posts:
<?php query_posts('cat=1,3,15'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
However, when I try to browse by category, all the category pages show only those posts, as well, and don't let me access the other posts.
Is there some piece of code that I need to put elsewhere or modify in order to be able to show only those categories on the homepage, but allow browsing by categories? Thanks!

Hello, well I am as rookie as it gets!! So I bought an xecuter3 for my 1.4 version xbox. The background of this is that I want this chip so that I can upgrade the harddrive and use it in my car for dvd's music, and games! Now to my problem. I have installed the chip and when I turn it on there is an image on the tv that moves from top to bottom and keeps scrolling like that. Similar to how the old tv's would have images scrolling top to bottom until u adjust the knob for the image to stablize I can barely make out one of the words and I think it says flash or something on the screen. Much more just can't figure it out. Thanks everyone.

I bought these rugs for my cottage a few years ago. They have held up beautifully to high traffic, kids & pets. These rugs blend Americana design with Nautica...just beautiful. I now want them in every room! I believe they are a great value as the rugs are 1st class quality.
This runner looks awesome in the wheelhouse on our boat! The colours are very muted. Love it.
Thanks for the opportunity to write a review on the rugs I received, my first purchase with Rugs Direct. I purchased Genesis Yachtsmen; 2 smaller rugs & one long runner for a newly remodeled bathroom. They are beautiful! Even my husband is pleased with the quality and the price. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you Rugs Direct.
Good quality, color and pile. I love it.
Good rug that has a unique design for a nautical themed room. It is not too plush and has good quality.
Was very pleased with the entire purchase and process.
Received in a timely manner and I am pleased with the quality and color. Purchased for our new motor yacht. Goes perfect with my color scheme. Would purchase again.
Love this rug! I'm still painting and haven't been able to unroll it yet and put it on my floor. I bought 2 of these for one large room, and can't wait to finish my nautical room with this rug in place.
I am so pleased with my recent purchase of the Genesis Yachtsmen rug in Blue. It fits perfect in the room, looks and feels great to walk on.

Also, if this should have been in the Theme/Template board please be gentle, I've searched high and low for an answer to this and figured it was a troubleshooting issue.

Very nice use of the grunge for pattern and background texture - both the character and actual background have some neat subtle touches. I really like the color and layout as well. You did a wonderful job on the composition and the photo montage adds a great, kinda crazy effect to the whole flyer. Awesome work!!
love the old screen printed look! Always a fave style of mine

Not sure why...I use wordpress + buddypress + bbpress and after i install this plugin my site starts loading much slower. It takes 5+ sec more to load any page.
Not sure why...I use wordpress + buddypress + bbpress and after i install this plugin my site starts loading much slower. It takes 5+ sec more to load any page.
Thanks for your feedback!
This sounds really strange and interesting at the same time.
Never noticed any slow down on various (testing & live) installs yet.
Any URL of your site handy?
Is that a Multisite install or regular single install?
Which version are you using? Newest 1.3.0 or before?
If you use the newest 1.3.0 could you please test one of the previous versions please, download from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/developers/ (from "Other Versions" there).
I made a few minor changes to the class structure in 1.3.0 maybe this is effecting your install/server environment?
If testing that brings no difference you can contact me via http://genesisthemes.de/en/contac/ so I could have a look at your backend if you want that (would need temp admin account).
Thanks, Dave :)
i am running wp 3.5.1, bbpress 2.2.4, and bbPress String Swap 1.3.0 and had recently been noticing some major slowness on my site lately, forums page was taking like 7 seconds to load, using the p3 profiler plugin i was able to see that bbpress was taking about 2.6 seconds, and bbpss was slowest after that, after disabling bbpss bbp was down to .8 sec load and things seem much faster in general on my site
thanks for string swap btw, great plugin, is there a chance it could also deal with the "oh bother" text ?
Thanks for the feedback! Very helpful! I will do own testing now with P3 Profiler plugin.
Could you also test with v1.2.0 of my plugin if that's also slowing down?
Of course, I can add the "oh bother" text for the next version - nice idea, thanks! :)
@AllenPayne & @Sam:
I am using WordPress' own Gettext filter for filtering/changing specific strings that aren't changeable on other ways currently.
The Gettext filter can have performance effects, as I have read, but it seems to depend on lots of factors. I was not able to reproduce it yet on my own installs.
You can read about this filter here: http://pippinsplugins.com/introduction-gettext-filter-wordpress/
Also, you might try a mo-Cache plugin [ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mo-cache/ ] which caches loaded language/translation files, maybe you'll see some improvement with it?
If bbPress core would make the desired strings filterable I would switch to that method immediatily once it would be available, though!
Thanks again for any feedback, testing and ideas and help!
-Dave :)
@AllenPayne & @Sam:
I did some testing myself and had following results:
To value these results you should have in mind, that:
Usage of Gettext filter:
Regarding bbPress itself:
Yes, this also needs to be more optimized --- but that's a job of its developers. Areas of optimization would be: autoloading of classes. Also splitting files and code better to only load things in the end when and where needed.
I hope this clarifies things.
Thanks, Dave :)
Hi there again!
The performance issues could now be solved with the complete removal of the "gettext" filter usage, in favor of another, way better solution!
Please upgrade to version 1.4.0 of the plugin!
So this issue/topic is finally resolved! :)
Thanks, Dave :)

I finally have time for a better intro. I'm L (wife) and my husband is S. We live in Ohio. We've been married for 6 years, and involved in swinging for almost 2 years. But, even when we first started swinging I was more interested in having a "relationship" than just random sex partners. He was not as much open to that idea, but is thinking about it more lately. The way it stands now is that I am open to him having a girlfriend, who is possibly interested in us both as a triad (I'm still learning alot of your poly lingo lol). But I am not opposed to it just being him being in a V either. He is not open to me having a relationship with another male though. We do have threesomes with single males, but he is not ready for me to have a relationship away from him and may never be. Which I admit I have some trouble accepting right now. So that's where we are right now. Just talking, reading alot here and other places, and trying to figure out exactly how in the world we find a person/people to add to our relationship

Tim Scott is an experienced hiker, but on Sunday afternoon, he experienced something completely unexpected when he was attacked by a black bear along a trail in the Red River Gorge. In fact, Scott experienced the first recorded attack by a bear on a person in modern times, according to a report issued by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Scott, 56, of Springfield, was hiking along the Gray's Arch trail near the Wolfe-Menifee county lines in Eastern Kentucky around 2:30 p.m. Sunday. He said he was in the area with his wife and son, as well as his dog.
The 11th annual Springfield Independence Day Celebration will take place tonight, Friday, July 2. The festivities start at 6 p.m. when the food booths open. At 6:15 p.m., the Best Decorated Dog contest takes place on the front lawn of the 1816 Courthouse, followed by the Best Decorated Bike contest at 6:30 p.m. Cash prizes will be awarded for the winners.
The parade starts at 7 p.m., with Larry and Mary Elliott serving as the grand marshals. The Elliotts are members of the Association of Lincoln Presenters, portraying Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln respectively.
Five years ago, Johnathan Adam Hughes was killed by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. Last week, a new road was dedicated in Marion County to preserve his memory.
Family and friends, state and local officials, veterans and dozens of others were on hand for the dedication of the Adam Hughes Memorial Highway June 15.
Hughes was serving with the Kentucky Army National Guard's Bravo Battery, 1st Battalion, 623rd Field Artillery, which is based in Campbellsville, at the time of his death. He was 21 years old.
Senior citizens from Washington County got some sound weather advice from a familiar face recently. Former WHAS-TV weatherman Ken Schulz, now a spokesman for Humana's MarketPOINT program, talked to area seniors at the Springfield Senior Citizen Center about how to stay safe in case severe weather approaches.
Anna Pettus and Ellen Goatley have been best friends since they were small children. That closeness came in handy Saturday as they were the final two in the running for the title of 2011 Washington County Junior Miss.
Pettus, daughter of John and Barbara Pettus of Springfield, was crowned the winner, and her best friend said she couldn't have been happier.
"We've been best friends ever since we were little," Goatley said. "We weren't expecting (to win) much, so it was a big surprise for both of us."
The Springfield City Council has approved a $2.25 million budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The estimated revenues include $725,000 from occupational taxes, $275,000 from property taxes, $360,000 from city licenses and $120,000 from tourism taxes. It also includes $323,741 carried over from the previous year.
Estimated expenditures include $599,135 for police, $483,130 for administration, $321,994 for public works, $296,476 for dispatch, $168,875 for Idle Hour Park, $167,464 for fire, and $129,667 for the Springfield Main Street Renaissance Commission.
A 61-year-old Washington County man was killed in a farm accident Thursday afternoon, according to Kentucky State Police.
Mark Falkenstein of Springfield was operating a tractor that was towing another tractor uphill when the tractor he was driving overturned, pinning him beneath it. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mother Nature wasn't cooperating this weekend as the rains fell during the 2010 Washington County Relay for Life. But while attendance was down, the event still managed to raise more than $27,000 for the American Cancer Society.
"With the economy the way it is, I was hoping to reach $20,000," said Cathy Carrico, a member of the Relay committee. "We still have some money coming in, and our fundraising for the year ends in August, so we're hoping to get a little more."
Taxation with representation – that was the rallying cry for several residents of East High Street in Springfield at the June 8 meeting of the Springfield City Council. A group of citizens concerned about issues such as loitering, noise, littering and general disregard for private property turned out to speak with council members.
It's not uncommon to say someone grew up on a farm in Washington County, and it's as true of Jordan Settles as it is of anyone you'll meet. Not only did he grow up on a farm, the 19-year-old literally grew up farming.
"He's been working cattle since he was four years old," said Charlotte Settles, Jordan's mother. "He and Jeff came in and Jeff said, 'Tell Momma what you've been doing.' He had been opening and closing the gate as they got the cattle in. I couldn't believe it."

interesting.... make sure to keep us updated!
3w engines are famous for leaking air. Take the carb and the reed valve off and seal the gaskets with permatex. I had a similar problem with my 106 and after it was sealed it became very reliable. ...
As was already stated, bigger planes can handle quite a bit before they are dangerous. As long as you are on the wing tube with the CG you will be good. It is pretty much a preference thing from...
just extend the arm on the choke and you dont need to release it.
I once did a side by side comparison on a DA 85 and a 3W 85 to see what the power difference was. From my experience the DA had more power but the 3W was a smoother running engine. With that being...
yes once it started it was extremely reliable. If I let the engine cool down it would be hard to start again, but once it started It was completely reliable. I am super interested to hear your...
I will bet you a thousand dollars that it is your ignition module. I have had this exact problem on my engine that has an RC Excel ignition. Both times it did it, I replaced the ignition module and...
I'm not familiar with them but it Looks like they make bags that are fairly decent quality. Any ideas about price? I always buy Hobby Pak wing bags
Personally I did not like them. They were slow. If you weren't doing precision or 3d I suppose they would work. I would look into OMG servos there is a thread on flying giants about them
My Giles blew off the table and I am looking for a canopy and rudder for a 40% giles. I would prefer a red canopy, but I would take anything.
Let me know
I am still loving the Giles. I am finishing up the third year of flying it. I am soooo glad that I have another one new in the box when this one reaches its expiration date. Here is the latest...
in any case, based on the size that it appears in the pictures, there is no way it is a 80 or 100cc engine. If I had to guess I would put it closer to 15cc
Probably the most important thing you can do is to make sure your engine air is ducted well. I have hovered here in Nevada when it was in the high ninety's, but Im sure it gets much hotter there. ...
Thanks!! here is another video in the winter flying off skis
Another thing to check is the fuel filter. Check the carb screen and ensure it is not partially blocked.
*****UPDATE****** I got my new ignition in the mail yesterday and installed it. Problem is solved. Kudos to WRK and TRG for correctly diagnosing the problem. Thanks for the input
I have the updated aluminum reed block. I also had gerhardt install the aluminum carb carrier. I called gerhart and he thought it was the ignition. He thought it was the caps. I replaced the caps...
I'll try that. I have a voltage regulator left over from before I was flying A123's. Ill remove that and see how it goes. Yesterday I put on a new carb kit but no change. I also tried replacing...
That is the funny thing about this situation is that once the engine starts and runs it is extremely reliable. It is just getting it to that point. Gerhart said that it could be the ignition caps. ...
I was talking about the bottom end which would be the top screw physically. I ordered a new carb kit and I will start with that. It the problem still exists after that I will start looking at the...
the reason i don't think its the ignition is because it only does that until it starts and runs after that there is no problem. It seems to be isolated to when the engine is cool.
I opened the bottom one quarter turn and no change I did it again for a total of a half of a turn and still no change. here is a couple video clips
the only thing is that once the engine gets going, it is reliable. The transition is smooth with no hesitation. the other part is the fact that when it starts it sounds as if it is running on one...
I have a 3w 106 that has an issue. When I first start it, it runs and then dies several times until warms up. After it starts, it takes a few minutes until it runs well. It doesn't sound as if it...
That is a good article. What I get out of it is that if you are using a non-castor additive, you need to stick to the manufactureres recommendations for mixing your oil.

Released: Nov 14th, 2007
Running Time: 102 Min.
Director: Glenn Baren
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Whitney Stevens, Julius Ceazher, Dick Nasty, Steven St. Croix, Lee Stone, Alec Metro, Emily George, Danni Daire, Chavon Taylor, Misti Love
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
The title gives the impression there might be copious milk squirting in this release. Alas, as no girls are visibly lactating. The viewer will just have to be satisfied with just watching big, natural, floppy fun bags.
Great hooters: large, squeezable, and usually the focal point of each scene. One scene is interracial with Chavon Taylor (and her incredibly strange expressions) and Julius Ceazher. One scenefeatures a wide age difference (Dick Nasty and Emily George), and the rest are straight couples fare with guys a bit older plowing into Misti Love, Whitney Stevens and Danni Daire.
Conventional sex throughout, and the final pops are aimed at the chest and face. Good stuff.
Retailing: Big boob fans will appreciate these natural, large hooters.

Russian Aces of World War 1 (Paperback)
Although the Russian Imperial Army Air Service consisted of no more than four BAGs (Boevaya Aviatsionniy Gruppa battle aviation groups), each controlling three or four smaller AOIs (Aviatsionniy Otryad Istrebitelei fighter aviation detachments) equipped with a variety of aircraft types, its fighter pilots nevertheless gave a good account of themselves. Indeed, during three years of war they claimed more than 200 Austro-Hungarian and German aircraft shot down, creating 13 aces these elite aviators accounted for around half of the victories claimed on the Eastern Front. Pilots flew a variety of fighter types, with French Nieuport scouts and SPAD VIIs proving to be the most popular, and effective, aeroplanes to see service on this front. The exploits of these aces are detailed here, with information based on material newly sourced by the author from Russian military and private archives. Many previously unpublished photographs are used to illustrate this book, supported by full-colour profiles that reveal how striking some of the aces fighters were in this often-forgotten theatre of World War I.
About the Author
A history teacher living in St Charles, Iowa, Greg VanWyngarden has had a lifelong interest in World War I aviation and has been particularly active in researching the colors and markings of German fighter aircraft. Greg has served on the Board of Directors of the League of World War I Aviation Historians and has been both art director and issue editor for that society's journal "Over the Front," He is a long-time member of Cross & Cockade International, and has authored many articles in specialist publication and contributed to several monographs dealing with his favorite subject. This is his tenth book. The author lives in St Charles, Iowa.
Praise For…
"In this small compendium Victor Kulikov presents those Russian Army Aviation Service pilots who were considered aces. This volume provides the relevant facts, dates, and locations of the aces' actions and their eventual personal outcome if they outlived the war and revolution. In some cases there are narratives in the pilots' own words, which always provide interesting vignettes of the historical events."
- Over the Front (Summer 2013)
"...what a ripping read! Make this exciting effort your introduction to these forgotten heroes."
- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (June 2013)
"This narrowed focus details the planes, the aces, their strategies and their key battles of the times, using information based on material newly sourced by the author from Russian military and private archives. The result is an outstanding analysis suitable for any aviation history or World War I military holding."
- The Midwest Book Review (July 2013)

Just sharing some thoughts meandering in my senior mind.
The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can be in a robe before you start looking like a mental patient.
My therapist said that my narcissism causes me to misread social situations. I'm pretty sure she was hitting on me.
My 60 year kindergarten reunion is coming up soon and I'm worried about the 175 pounds I've gained since then.
I always wondered what the job application is at Hooters. Do they just give you a bra and say, "Here, fill this out?"
Denny's has a slogan, "If it's your birthday, the meal is on us." If you're in Denny's on your birthday, your life sucks!
The pharmacist asked me my birth date again today. I'm pretty sure she's going to get me something.
On average, an American man will have sex two to three times a week. Whereas, a Japanese man will have sex only one or two times a year. This is very upsetting news to me. I had no idea I was Japanese.
I can't understand why women are okay that JC Penny has an older women's clothing line named, "Sag Harbor."
I think it's pretty cool how Chinese people made a language entirely out of tattoos.
What is it about a car that makes people think we can't see them pick their noses?
Money can't buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch!
The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Ellie, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course Opie were all single. The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk.

June 17, 2016, 3:17 pmMorning Laugh...
Three mischievous old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside the nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by. One of the old Grandmas yelled out, 'Hey, we bet we can tell exactly how old you are!'
The old man said, 'There is no way you can guess my age!
One of the Grandmas said, 'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and undershorts and we can tell your exact age.'
Embarrassed, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers.
The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and then jump up and down several times.
Determined to prove them wrong, he did it.
Then they all said in unison, 'You're 87 years old!'
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess my age?'
Slapping their knees, high fiving and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies again happily crowed in unison, 'We were at your birthday party yesterday.'

AbstractCounterfeit parts, by definition are substandard, which compromises long life-cycle systems overseen by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Recent investigations by the Senate Armed Services Committee uncovered 1800 cases of suspected counterfeit electronic parts, with the total number of counterfeit parts exceeding 1,000,000. Putative solutions to the counterfeit electronics problem include both inspection technologies and authentication solutions, but these stop short of providing 100% assurance of authenticity, and often require extensive operator expertise and training. Authentication solutions which involve application of a taggant material and enrollment into secure database are available, with 13 different tags on the market. However, no secure tagging solution has been widely adopted in the electronics industry. This is attributed primarily to lack of flexibility for different microelectronic product types and processes, and a lack of consensus from end users on authentication solutions,. Furthermore, none of the existing authentication solutions are capable of identifying used products fraudulently represented as new. To address this need, the Quantitative Optical Tracking system performs rapid, inexpensive, nondestructive two factor authentication based on two identifying markers: 1) intrinsic micron-scale optical surface characteristics of electronic components, and 2) an applied taggant pattern which is permanent, cost-effective, and suitable for DoD production hardware.

Parametric Representation of Complex Sources in Reflective Environments
Aspects of source directivity in reflective environments are considered, including the audible effects of directivity and how these can be reproduced. Different methods of encoding and production are presented, leading to a new approach to extend parametric encoding of reverberation, as described in the DIRAC and MPEG formats, to include the response to source directivity.

Mariah Carey Addresses Pregnancy Rumors But Still Won't Admit To ThemTheMommyologist
Her alleged baby bump is growing bigger and bigger each and every day, and she's even been spotted wearing maternity clothes, but Mariah Carey is still refusing to clarify rumors on whether or not she is actually pregnant.
With all of the hoopla surrounding her growing belly, the singer finally spoke out about the pregnancy talk floating around, but would only say, "I appreciate everyone's well wishes. But I am very superstitious…When the time is right, everyone will know," on her website on Wednesday.
Um…everyone pretty much does already know, Mariah. I hate to break it to you, but you're kind of at the point where you can't hide it anymore. If that's not a baby bump under that dress, then what on earth is it, exactly?
Mariah's husband, Nick Cannon, is supporting her wishes to keep quiet on the subject, adding, "I've said it before and I'll say it time and time again — when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her."
At the rate this announcement is going, I think there's a better chance of us hearing the news from the actual baby.

Are you fan of our latest stretch of unseasonably cool air in central Indiana? If not your patience will be rewarded early next week when highs near 90 degrees. Between now and then it will be a gradual transition from comfortable humidity to an oppressive Muggy Meter.
This Evening: It's nothing but nice this evening if you're heading to the free Concert on the Canal in Indianapolis outside the Historical Society… or anything else you're doing for that matter. Highs today remained 5 to 10 degrees below normal in what's been an impressively cool start to July.
The first 16 days of this month produced an average temperature of 70.9 degree… which would be good for 2nd coolest July on record if the month ended today. There's still plenty of month and potential heating left, but this will be a statistic we'll follow closely the next couple of weeks.
This is now officially the 6th longest wait on record for the first 90-degree day of the year in Indianapolis… and longest stretch since 2004 when there were zero 90-degree days in the city. The average first date for the first 90 degree temperature was nearly a month ago, and the city averages 18 days in the 90s in a year.
Tonight and Friday: This will likely be the last night of windows open and A/Cs off. So enjoy the low to mid 50s Friday morning and pleasant highs nearing 80 Friday afternoon. Much like the past few days, expect a mostly cloud-free morning with fair weather cumulus clouds popping during the heating of the day.
Weekend Outlook: For the past few days we've mentioned uncertainty regarding precipitation chances this weekend in relation to an approaching upper level system. Latest analysis and model data suggests this feature should bypass our viewing area to the south and southeast… with perhaps some residual cloud cover.
You will notice an increase in humidity Saturday evening heading into Sunday, and this marks a transition to typical summer weather for the Ohio Valley. Don't forget the Indy Eleven are back on the pitch Saturday evening and it should be a nice night for soccer.
7 Day Forecast: It appears our next best chance of rain and storms will Wednesday with the approach of a cold front. These storms will have heavy rain potential and we'll need to monitor for severe weather as well. Have a great evening – Sean Ash

Friday morning we parked at the Molas trailhead at 10,600'. The weather was iffy but the forecast was for improving conditions and since we planned to be in the basin until Monday, the current weather was not a worry
Looking towards our destination on the far left. The peak with the two near-vertical streaks on the far left is West Trinity (13,765')
From the Molas TH, the trail drops down to the Animas River (in the sunlight) at 8,900. From there we head up Elk Creek before turning up into Vestal Basin
Crossing the Animas River. A slight drizzle was starting but never turned into anything appreciable
Bill, Andy and Nina the wonder dog walk along the trail tracks before heading up Elk Creek
Black and white function + high ISO = grainy, old school look
The Columbines along the trail were outrageous
Our first great view of Arrow Peak (center) and Vestal Peak (left) from the beaver ponds at 9,900'. This marks the spot where we left the Elk Creek trail and began the steep ascent up to our high camp at 11,400' in Vestal Basin
Crossing Elk Creek on a log jam
It's easy to get off the best trail heading up into Vestal Basin and end up in some steep talus terrain. We got it right on the descent, however, and even took time to block off the "wrong" way for future hikers
Arrow Peak, 13,803', (left) beckons us upwards
We initially setup our camp in a slightly boggy meadow just barely 100' away from the stream. A couple of USFS personnel came to talk to us and it was clear they wanted us to move. In fact, they personally helped and oversaw the moving of Andy and Sarah's tent before we found these better spots uphill in the trees
That afternoon after setting up camp, Andy, Bill and I went to try to climb Electric Peak. We made up a route that went up the grassy/rocky gully right of center above us here
Halfway up the rocky gully we spied this beautiful dihedral. It was enticing on its own but we were already eager to leave the looseness of the gully so up we went
Really cool, smooth slate-type rock
Above the dihedral in more broken terrain
A view up Vestal Basin from the shoulder of Electric
Once we reached the ridge, however, we saw a fast approaching, nasty looking storm to the west. The prospect of descending the gully we had ascended with water runnning down it wasn't appealing so we turned back
It stormed much of the night so our planned semi-alpine start for Vestal Peak was postponed as we all slept in until 6:00am. The morning sky cleared, though, so Bill and Lee busted out their morning calisthenics before heading up
That's our goal--the beautiful north face of Vestal Peak called Wham Ridge
Vestal Lake is a beautiful emerald color
The lower portion of the face is easy scrambling between grassy patches and ledges as the face slowly steepens
About a third of the way up the face is a nice ledge for those that brought rock shoes to change into said shoes
Allison did not change into rock shoes on the ledge and before we knew it, she was well on her way up the face (in the crack right of center)
Sarah leads the charge up the face. Super fun scrambling on great rock with amazing position makes this route a classic
Allison taking a breather and letting the rest of us catch up
We followed an obvious crack system up the face about 60 feet left of the face's west edge
Allison above the route's 5.4 cruxes of which there are two--first one around a small "roof" and the second one involving some crack jamming in an otherwise blank section
Bill is in the middle of the second crux while Andy and Sarah are near the first "roof" crux move
Lee jamming through the second crux where a fixed red camalot resides in the crack
Lee and Bill are changing back into approach shoes as Andy busts through the second crux
Andy Thien and Sarah Thien on the first crux section.
Above the clean face climbing lies quite a bit of looser (but not that bad) third classing to the summit
On Vestal's summit! It took us all roughly 1.5 hours to climb the face from the lake to the summit. A solid 90 minutes of fantastic scrambling that I wished continued for another 90 minutes
Group shot on Vestal Peak, 13,864'. Colorado's 77th highest summit
The view to the south showing Jagged Mountain (left) with 14ers Windom and Sunlight right of center
Descending Vestal involves descending this steep, loose slope known as the "Dues Collector" slope. Not too bad to descend but a helluva of an ascent (I did that five years ago)
Some timid glissading down near the bottom of the Dues Collector
After descending down to the base of Arrow Peak, we assesed the weather and liked what we saw so we headed up Arrow. Allison hung back with some of our gear to keep the marmots and pikas away
Lee ascending some of the fantastic slabs up Arrow's northeast face with Vestal's Wham Ridge in the background
The slabs made for fast and efficient ascending allowing us to ascend the 1,500' up to the summit in an hour
The highest tree in Colorado! Tell all your friends
Near the summit we could hear thunder. At the summit we saw the source and it was, thankfully, to the north and not threatening us
Group photo on Arrow Peak, 13,803'. Colorado's 104th highest peak
The descent of Arrow took me about 40 minutes down to Allison thanks to this awesome downhill slab running
Back down with Allison. She successfully guarded our goods against...
Dunh, dunh, dunnnnhhhhh! The Marmot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Kyi0WNg40
We made up a more direct descent down to our camp. It involved a bit of fourth class. Once we reached camp we discovered Nina the wonder dog had escaped and was nowhere to be found. Andy and Sarah quickly packed up camp and descended. After a couple of tense hours, they found Nina with a group of three that had moved their camp down from Vestal Basin to the Animas River that afternoon. Apparently Nina had clung to them all afternoon.
Sunday, July 4th, dawned beautiful and clear so Allison, Bill, Lee and I headed up to tackle the Trinities Traverse--the west to east traverse of the Trinities
It was an absolutely gorgeous morning as we passed below Vestal and Arrow again
The badass east face of Pigeon Peak. Andy, Sarah, Nina and I had climbed that peak five weeks ago, http://bit.ly/d9aDfb
We found an entertaining 4th class route up West Trinity
West Trinity summit, 13,765'
Aron and I had been up here back in June 2005. Cool to find the same register up there.
Group photo on West Trinity
Cruising the obvious grassy ledge over to (middle) Trinity Peak, the highest of the Trinities

We also found some fun fourth class up Trinity Peak
On the summit of Trinity Peak, 13,805'. Colorado's 103rd highest peak
Lee and Bill making the final steps to the summit
Looking at East Trinity Peak from Trinity Peak. The route goes up the obvious gully right of center
Descending the third class east gully of Trinity Peak
A short snow crossing between Trinity and East Trinity. Thankfully it was soft snow
We felt like we were being watched
East Trinity's guardian moutain goat
The team stoked and nearing the summit of East Trinity Peak
A very colorful group photo on East Trinity Peak, 13,745' with Trinity Peak in the background
From East Trinity Peak Bill and I would take the dark colored ridge over to Peak Three and then continue to Peak Two before going back down to camp while Allison and Lee called it a day after East Trinity
Descending East Trinity's east face
More descending action
The initial part of the ridge from East Trinity to Peak Three. We had no beta on the ridge but it looked like fun. Or something.
The ridge went, just barely, and included a super fun, exposed catwalk section on surprisingly good rock
A short down climb along the ridge
A little more catwalk action with Storm King and Silex in the background
Peak Three summit, 13,478', Colorado's 269th highest peak. Peak Two is just to the left of me in this photo. We headed over there next
A view across the basin looking at the Trinities
View towards Peak Two
Wide open fun to Peak Two
Peak Two summit, 13,475', Colorado's 275th highest peak
View towards Vestal and Arrow. Wham Ridge sure looked amazing from this vantage
360 degree panorama movie from the summit of Peak Two. It was one of those perfect days where we just wanted to be up high all day
Refilling water in the awesome basin between Peak Two and Peak Three. This basin now tops my list of special places in Colorado. A great little stream and lake, soft grass, fantastic views....it had it all
Walking down along the surprisingly strong stream in the basin. Elevation12,900'
The lake in the small basin with Peak Three above
I couldn't get enough of the view of Vestal and Arrow
Looking up basin at the Trinities. Lee and Allison really enjoyed their descent through that upper basin after climbing the Trinities
Super cool red pinecone on the descent back to camp
Earlier in the weekend we had run into an acquaintance, Doug Shaw. On our descent from Peak Two we hiked by his tent. He shouted, "hey, you guys want some Fat Tires?" We couldn't believe our ears but it was true. He had two extra because his two friends that were planning to meet him up there did not make it. We were super stoked. Thanks Doug!
After some more rain during the night (and the sound of exploding fireworks from Silverton) we packed up Monday morning and hiked out. One last view of Vestal and Arrow from the beaver pond at 9,900'
Good news! Andy and Sarah had found Nina and left this message in the mud for us
And this message in the trailhead register at Molas Pass. It all ended extremely well!

FCC Still Opposes In-flight Cellphone Use
Business Jet Traveler » June 2007
Friday, June 1, 2007 - 5:00am
The Federal Communications Commission, still concerned about whether cellphone calls by aircraft passengers would interfere with the ground-based cell system, has dropped a longstanding proposal to relax the current ban. But this may not be the end of the story. So-called Wi-Fi smartphones for the consumer market are on the way, and unlike traditional cellphones, they use wireless Internet connections to route calls. While this may satisfy the FCC, manufacturers of smartphones would still have to prove to the FAA that the technology wouldn't interfere with aircraft electronics.

Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade
Dec 25, 2013 09:00 AMTV Network - ABC
We have been in Disney Parks on Christmas and we are happy to report that they do still have parades there on that day, holiday parades in fact. We are less happy to report that this special tapes before Christmas Day. But, no matter, if you tune in today they will do their level best to pretend like the show is live and, if you've had enough Christmas cheer you might just believe it. But, seriously, if the Thanksgiving Day Parade starts the holiday season, then maybe this parade ends it.

Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade
Dec 25, 2011TV Network - ABC
We are not exactly sure at what point the "Disney Parks Christmas Parade" became a Christmas Day tradition, but we think that it's safe to admit by now that the parade (or series thereof) is now indeed a tradition. The special is going to feature a whole lot of music, a whole lot of famous people, and a whole lot of Christmas cheer-Disney style. We would even hazard to guess that Mickey Mouse will probably be stopping by to wish us all the happiest of holidays as well.
Please note, you should definitely check the time of the parade in your city as the time does vary.

Life Rock, Paper, Revolutionary
posted by June 15 at 15:02 PMon
When I moved to Virginia for college (I'd grown up here in Seattle), I heard people use the term "rochambeau" for the game "rock, paper, scissors" for the first time.
I had always thought that "ro" maybe stood for "rock," and "cham"… well, my theory trailed off here, but who knows, maybe the French use champagne in place of scissors? (Champage would get the paper wet, a rock would smash the bottle?)
But today in the New York Times, there's an article about descendants of the historical Rochambeau, a Frenchman who helped out with the American Revolution. (He's better known as Maréchal, after the field marshal title given him by Louis XVI after he returned from America.)
Is this where the name of the game comes from? The OED is no help, it doesn't even have an entry for "rochambeau." I shall have to investigate further.
