Internet telephony with KPhone
Internet telephony does not need to be complicated. You can talk to the world with just Kphone, a normal sound card, and an account with an Internet phone provider.
KDE's Kphone program, which Suse Linux and other distributions have recently started to include, is a simple telephony application for Linux. Kphone serves as a handy desktop tool for Voice over IP connections. You'll find that Kphone is very easy to configure. As you can see in Figure 1, the program prompts you for a few details when you launch it: in fact, you only need to specify the User Part of SIP URL and the Host Part of SIP URL. The Outbound Proxy is only required for extremely restrictive firewalls to allow outgoing connections. To be on the safe side, you might like to specify the proxy server for your first experiments, but try to do without a proxy later.

There doesn't seem to be an option for video sitemaps yet, as was promised in this post last June. http://yoast.com/video-seo-wordpress/ I love this plugin and there are really no functioning and stable video sitemap plugins out there. A release with video sitemap functionality would be wonderful.
Any word when the plugin will be updated with video sitemaps extensions?

Deadline Nears for Virginia Guard, Reserve Members to Nominate Employers for Award
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 12/08/10
Virginia Guard and Reserve members have five weeks to nominate their supportive employers for the 2011 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award before nomination season closes on Jan. 17, 2011. Guard and Reserve family members can also nominate their service member's employer during this nomination season. The award is the U.S. government's highest honor given to employers for their outstanding support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. Nearly one-half of the U.S. military is composed of the Guard and Reserve.
At the halfway mark, nearly 2,500 nominations have been received from Guard and Reserve members and their families from across the nation and around the world. Currently, the Army National Guard is leading among Guard and Reserve service branches, with 37 percent of the total nominations.
Guard and Reserve members and their families are eligible and encouraged to nominate employers that have provided exceptional support to Guard and Reserve employees beyond the federal law requirements. Nominations may be submitted at http://www.FreedomAward.mil through Jan. 17. The names of all nominated employers will be announced in the spring and the 15 Freedom Award recipients will be announced in early summer.
The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense Agency, to recognize exceptional support of Guard and Reserve members from the employer community. In the past 15 years, 145 employers from across the nation have received this prestigious award. Established in 1972, ESGR's mission is to develop and promote employer support for Guard and Reserve service by advocating relevant initiatives, recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of applicable laws, and resolving conflict between employers and service members.

How can I make my rented flat warmer? On the cheap, if possible?
I'm renting a flat and it's cold, and it's going to get colder (I'm on a 1 year contract in the alps). Is there anything noninvasive (preferably cheap, but I'm ok to spend if it's really going to work) that I can do to warm the place up? What sort of portable space heaters give the best performance for electricity/gas? Are there any decent renter-based guides to improving insulation? [more inside]
Advice on solar hot water systems in the UK? What do I need to know?
Solar hot water and central heating for dummies? I'm in the UK, our (gas, combi) boiler has been rubbish since we moved in, and given that we're now looking at a new boiler we're thinking of complementing it with some sort of solar panel based solution. What should we look out for? What do we need? Can we reuse our existing radiators? What questions should we ask installation companies? [more inside]

Geosciences Department
James R. Staub, Chair
Human impact on Earth systems and reliance on Earth's resources will increase as human population and economic production grows. These impacts are creating "global grand challenges": complex, globally important problems that require an interdisciplinary approach. The most pressing grand challenges over the next decade will be resource scarcity/depletion (especially water and petroleum), adaption to and mitigation of climate change and natural hazards, and environmental stewardship of highly stressed physical and biological Earth systems. As University of Montana Geoscientists, we address these challenges in our research and teaching. We develop the knowledge to find and extract mineral and water resources, solve problems caused by using those resources and develop models of the past, present and future Earth. Faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students are helping Montana and the World develop a sustainable future.
Our Vision:
We will build and teach a fundamental understanding of Earth processes to benefit humankind and sustain Earth systems.
Our Goals:
1. Conduct geoscience research, including obtaining extramural funding to perform essential and transformative research.
2. Disseminate research findings by publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at national and international scientific conferences.
3. Teach students how to learn from known sources of information and create new knowledge from their own research.
4. Engage all graduate students and selected undergraduates in research and publication.
5. Produce graduates competent in their disciplines who can perform well in field, laboratory and computational settings, and who are prepared to serve as high-quality professionals in geoscience and related fields.
6. Provide opportunities for students to work and learn in other countries through international research and learning opportunities.
7. Educate the general student population about the nature of science and basic scientific principles through the study of Earth and its natural systems.
8. Engage the public with important geoscience issues through outreach and community education.

All of This—and the World Cup
Brazil 2014 Isn't Only Thing on Europe's Sporting Calendar in the New Year
On the stroke of midnight Wednesday, Twitter TWTR 1.52 % feeds across Europe lit up with messages to the effect of "Happy World Cup Year!" Because even though Brazil 2014 is six months away, it already dominates Europe's sporting calendar.
But believe it or not, the rest of it is pretty stacked. Beyond annual fixtures such as the rugby Six Nations, Wimbledon, and the Champions League, it also happens to be an Olympic year and a Ryder Cup year. So here's your guide to mapping out your sporting evenings, weekends, and "unscheduled" sick days.
Feb. 1: Start of the Six Nations
It may be Super Bowl weekend across the pond, but try telling that to Wales and Italy and they might start mumbling about padding and commercial breaks. Those two sides will be busy kicking off the Six Nations rugby. Favorite: Wales. Fun narrative that probably won't happen: Italy builds on its slim progress of the past decade and wins by kicking nothing but drop goals.
Feb. 7-23: The Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia
You didn't know you cared about the speed skating team pursuit or women's luge, did you? Well, maybe you don't. But what else is going to give you round-the-clock sports entertainment in February? Favorite: Norway. At the winter games, it's always Norway. Fun, unlikely narrative: Any athlete from any hot-weather country wins any medal. We're looking at you, Colombia.
March 16: Formula One Returns
If Sebastian Vettel starts running away with the season again, feel free to switch off. But he may not! For the first time in nearly a decade, all of the sport's engine specifications are changing. That means Red Bull's car may not be quite as terrifying this year, opening things up for a little competition. Favorite: Vettel. (He did just win four straight titles.) Fun, unlikely narrative: Kimi Raikkonen, returning to Ferrari, fully embraces the bad-guy image and discovers enough speed to make Vettel look like your grandmother.
May 25: Champions League Final
For all the nouveau-riche clubs making their mark in Europe (Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City) and the hipster-chic of Borussia Dortmund, BVB 0.08 % this tournament is about blue bloods. Favorite: Bayern Munich. Fun, unlikely narrative: Atlético Madrid—that not-Real Madrid, not-Barcelona team from Spain—catches fire and makes a deep run.
May 25-June 8: The French Open
The first Grand Slam of the year that takes place in a Europe-friendly time zone will probably pick up where it left off in 2013. Favorites: Rafa Nadal, Serena Williams. Fun, unlikely narrative: Roger Federer, now an underdog, battles through the top seeds to give Nadal a run for his money on clay in the final.
June 2: World Cup Rosters
There may be more drama on the day the 32 teams announce their 23-man rosters for the tournament than during the whole group stage. After all, when everything goes wrong for your country, what are you going to blame? Brazilian conditions? Maybe. A referee? Probably. Your national team manager selecting the wrong players? Absolutely.
June 12-July 13: The World Cup
We know it's not taking place in Europe, but the continent will grind to a standstill to watch. At least until that Brazil-Argentina final. Favorite: Brazil. No, Spain. No, Germany. Wait…Brazil. Fun, unlikely narrative: Colombia swashbuckles to the final, doesn't bother to defend.
June 23-July 6: Wimbledon
Even if your country's been eliminated in the World Cup group stage, Wimbledon will always be there for you. Favorites: Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams. Fun, unlikely narrative: A British player wins Wimbledon for the first time in 78 years…Hang on, first time in one year.
July 5-27: The Tour de France
After some of the most scenic opening stages in recent memory last summer in sunny Corsica, the Tour will kick off in Yorkshire this year. Miserable as the English summer might be, the choice is fitting since this could be the third straight Tour won by a British rider. Favorite: Team Sky's Chris Froome. Fun, unlikely narrative: Team Sky lets Froome and 2012 champion Bradley Wiggins duke it out for the yellow jersey in the general classification.
July 17-20: The Open Championship
For the first time since 2006, the Open is at Royal Liverpool, the last place Tiger Woods won the tournament. (Remember when he used to do that with majors?) Woods is already the British bookmakers' favorite to win his fourth Open, but that's because he always is. Fun, impossible narrative: Tom Watson decides to give it one more shot and finishes the job he started at the 2009 Open.
August: Club Soccer Returns
Fun, unlikely narrative: Six teams fight tooth and nail atop the English Premier League, only to finish 2014-15 level on points. Chelsea isn't one of them. And in Spain, a team not named Real Madrid or Barca runs away with the title.
Sept. 26-28: The Ryder Cup
After the nail-biting conclusion to the 2012 Ryder Cup, this one has a lot to live up to for drama. But as it returns to European soil at Gleneagles in Scotland, it's going to be doubly difficult for the U.S. to turn its recent run of defeats around. The Americans haven't won in Europe since 1993. Favorite: Europe. Fun, unlikely narrative: A finish as close as the Miracle at Medinah.

The First-Year Program at Westminster College is an innovative educational experience required of all new students. It is designed to introduce you to the philosophy and practice of a liberal arts education and equip you with skills essential to your success at college and in life beyond Westminster College. This program seeks to develop the whole student, and thus involves both academics and the social and co-curricular opportunities which support them.
The formal academic portion of the program is composed of three classes you will take over the course of your first two semesters. These classes are Inquiry 111, Writing 111, and Speech 111. The Inquiry 111 course has been structured so that, following completion of the course, students will be able to:
Writing 111 and Speech 111 are purposely designed to complement Inquiry 111. For more information regarding these courses, please refer to the Westminster College Undergraduate Catalog.
A sense of community is important to the people of Westminster College, so much so that we often refer to Westminster as a "family." Therefore, the development of community is an essential component of your Westminster experience and the First-Year Program. Fresh Start Orientation is your introduction to this community and a vital part of your social life here.
The co-curriculum at Westminster College is a rich one. Student organizations that support your academic studies, service opportunities offered in and out of class, leadership opportunities, and internship experiences are only a few examples of all that is available to enhance and deepen your education at Westminster. Your introduction to the co-curriculum is "The Next Chapter", our summer reading program for all incoming first year students. The summer reading is a collaborative effort of the Division of Student Affairs and the Inquiry Program, and it provides an enjoyable way for our students to continue to hone their critical thinking skills during the summer through the exploration of a selected literary work.

Welcome to my tutoring page!
My name is Sarah and I am here to help you in your aspirations to becoming a better student in history/ELA and better athlete in soccer.
As far as why you should want me to be your history tutor, I have experience with 1v1 and group study sessions at a collegiate level in varied levels of difficulty (Intro courses through seminar courses). In 2011, I worked for Learning Magic Inc. as a 1v1 tutor in all subjects but specializing in History and Wilson Reading. I am currently a licensed Massachusetts Educator at the Initial level for grades 5-12 in Social Studies and have a Post-Baccalaureate degree from Bridgewater State University in Secondary Education. Since 2011, I have worked as an on-call substitute for 7 school districts: Foxboro Regional Charter School, Norton Public, Attleboro Public, Mansfield Public, Williams School in Bridgewater, and King Philip Regional. Due to my work with children, I am CORI certified. I am currently a priority substitute teacher meaning I am one of the first called if there is a teacher absence- especially for short term assignments in history. I also presently work with both a 5th and 7th grader through their Tutor on Wheels program. Both students have seen improvement in classwork, homework completion, and assessments. I am eager to find out how much they improved on their MCAS scores this year as well.
Currently, I am the assistant coach for a Premiere Soccer Club. I have been working with this club since August 2011 and enjoy my position very much. I currently hold a MYSA E License and am enrolled in the National D License-tentative completion in August 2014. In the Fall, I am the girls junior varsity head coach at a High School. This was my first assignment as head coach for a competitive team, and we finished with a respectable 11-5-2 record. I also work during the winters as a coach for a team at the MPLEX. I work with children grades K-9 to develop footwork skills. I also assist with goalkeeper camp with the a college GK coach. Lastly, I am the soccer instructor at a Day Camp (since 2012). I work with kids ages 4-14 each summer and have a blast with this program!
I have high expectations for my students. But with my cooperation and patience, I can help you become successful in your endeavors. Thank you for visiting my page and I hope to hear from you! Welcome to my tutoring page!

Rate can be flexible depending on family income and need.
Sarah really gets how to work with kids. She teaches skills while making it fun. I have Sarah coaching my 2 boys (7 & 9) and they have made progress and are practicing the soccer moves they have learned.
Sarah is reliable, flexible and provides verbal feedback right after the lesson and a full write up later that day. I highly recommend Sarah!
Sarah helped our son learn soccer basics with encouragement and positive reinforcement. She is very patient and knows her skill well.
Sarah is a very knowledgeable and organized soccer tutor who quickly connected with our son. We've been impressed with her lesson efficiency, covering multiple skills and always including a few new skills every session. After each lesson, we receive a thorough and well written report within 24-hours which clearly explains what was covered, our son's progress, and her plans for the next lesson. We couldn't be happier with Sarah!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
After passing the Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure (MTEL) in Social Studies Grades 5-12, I applied and received a Preliminary Teaching License for Social Studies Grades 5-12.

I taught two sections of US History I at the 9th grade level developing my own lesson/unit plans, assessments, and classroom management style.

I graduated from UMass Lowell's history department with highest honors in a bachelor of arts program. Many of my classes focused on European studies including The Modern World, 20th Century Europe, Renaissance and Reformation Irish History, World Consumer History, and Inquisition in Medieval Times.

I am also a licensed social studies teacher for grades 5-12 in the state of Massachusetts. My license enables me to teach all subjects related to the social sciences- which include European history.
I have a B.A. from UMass Lowell in History and a minor in Political Science.

Military Would Be Stressed By a New War, Study Finds
By THOM SHANKER and ERIC SCHMITT
Published: May 24, 2002
WASHINGTON, May 23— A top-secret Pentagon war game has revealed that expanding the campaign against terrorism to a country like Iraq would place severe strains on personnel and cause deep shortages of certain critical weapons, senior officials say.
Even so, the computer-simulated exercise found that the armed forces could still wage and win a major regional conflict while maintaining other global commitments.
Military officials have already concluded that such an invasion could involve as many as 200,000 troops and probably could not be mounted until next winter.
The war game, code named ''Prominent Hammer,'' made clear that the new missions given the military after Sept. 11 to defend the United States at home, wage war in Afghanistan and increase security at bases overseas are seriously taxing combat readiness.
Taking on an adversary like Iraq, the simulation found, could require mobilizing reservists at a level not seen since the Persian Gulf war, when 265,000 members of the National Guard and Reserves were called up, more than three times the number who were mobilized as of this week.
The highly classified war game uncovered worrisome shortages in military equipment, including that used for surveillance and electronic-jamming, as well as refueling tankers and transport aircraft that would be required to conduct a war on the scale of attacking Iraq or North Korea.
Even though the American-led fight to drive the Taliban and Al Qaeda from Afghanistan was considered a small-scale operation and not a major regional conflict, it brought demand for such equipment to the levels of a full-scale war, officials said.
The simulation, played out over two weeks in March, was described by senior officials as the most thorough assessment of American military readiness since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The findings will undoubtedly play into the debate within the Bush administration and especially at the Pentagon over when, and even if, to attack Saddam Hussein.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul D. Wolfowitz, received a three-hour presentation in the Pentagon's secure briefing room, called ''The Tank,'' outlining the results. The major conclusions of the war game have been reconstructed through interviews with more than a dozen senior Defense Department and military officials.
The war game measured how the strains of new commitments to domestic defense, the demands of long-term deployments in places like the Balkans and South Korea, southwest Asia and the Sinai, and the stress of ongoing operations in Afghanistan, would affect the military's ability to wage and win a new regional war.
In a wide-ranging interview in March on efforts by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and its top planners to address the global fight against terrorism, Gen. Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, described the broad objectives of this and other Pentagon war games without disclosing any specific details.
''If there is another major operation, perhaps even bigger than Afghanistan, you know, what is the impact on our posture around the world?'' General Myers said. ''If you do one thing in one part of the world, what does that mean 180 degrees out? Do you create vulnerabilities that might inspire others? Our role is to step back and look at the strategic consequences.''
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as branches of the armed services, regularly conduct computer-simulated war games, sometimes called tabletop exercises, to assess different threats and the American military's response. But the scope and duration of this new war game and the senior rank of its participants was highly unusual, officials said.
''We looked at things we have going on -- ongoing operations everywhere -- looked at the war plans on the shelf, looked at the prospect of what's next in the broader war on terrorism, to see what it does to the system,'' said one senior Air Force officer briefed on the war game.
''Everyone is much better informed of the overall health of the system and everyone has a better sense of the risks,'' this officer added, saying the game pinpointed ''what areas need to be shored up. It reaffirmed areas where we need help.''
The war game was also unusual in that it did not pit American forces in simulated combat to determine the outcome against any specific adversary. Instead, the exercise gauged the stress and strain on the entire military structure worldwide should the president order the armed forces to conduct a major regional war anywhere.
''The question we asked in 'Prominent Hammer' was, 'If you're forced into another conflict, what do you do?' '' said another military officer, using the name of the war game. ''It was not about Iraq or North Korea, per se. It played out multiple scenarios. But we found we could do Iraq. We could do North Korea. We could do elsewhere.''
But officials said such a war would add new strains far greater than even those handled during the recent campaign in Afghanistan. That conflict so taxed some components of the military's system for command, control, communications, as well as surveillance and intelligence gathering, that they would have been unavailable if an adversary in another region had chosen that moment to challenge the United States.

Hard Rock Green almost beat him tho. Hard rock would get in with anyone and even upset Scypion. Green's hand speed, expecially on the inside was about a 9+ and had deceptive power with one whose arms were so short.
"Even" upset Scypion. You make it sound like an esteemed achievement. It's not. Is this the same "Hard Rock" that was 5'5, had a record of 22-10-2 and was whupped in just 2 rounds by Curry? I thought so
Green could have beaten John but was worn from his battle with Animal Fletcher. The Mugabi fight proved if you're going to take on the beast, you're going to get hit. And when he hits you he's going to hurt you. How would leonard take it?
He'd had 4 fights since Fletcher including a loss to David Braxton. Most people would never had heard of him, let alone seen the man. As far as Mugabi always hitting people, tell that to Thomas
Mugabi would take cop that much Sugar he'd be lucky not to end the bout with diabetes.

Chris Rodgers' return
February, 16, 2006
Chris Rodgers might play Thursday night at Cal. He might not.
A source close to the situation told ESPN.com that Arizona had to put the senior guard back on the roster at some point this season. Rodgers was suspended for the past eight games, but the source said there was pressure from above the coaches to put Rodgers back on the squad in some capacity (the source was purposefully vague).
Arizona coach Lute Olson has said throughout the week that Rodgers has done the right things in trying to get back on the squad. But the source said some pressure has been exerted to ensure that Rodgers isn't banished for the whole season.

I had some self imposed rules:
- It must be as small as possible.
- I cannot modify components (Parts, PF electricals)
- It must have a driver's cabin: you must be able to place a minifig inside.
- It must have forward facing windows (Driver needs to know where he's going!)
Loosely based off the British Rail Class 08, I've been toying with this for a while now but this is what I've come up with. (Sorry about the bad photography)
Driver has standing room inside the cabin. He has to share it with cables, but it's comfortable enough.
Works well both forward and backward.
Power button is easily accessed by taping up the tiles on the roof and the entire middle panel comes off. The reciever is in the middle of the cab, with a small slot for recieving signals. Despite its sunken nature, it's still quite responsive.
The battery sits up front, providing its weight to the front wheel. It sits as low as possible by having the motor's bogie pin sit directly into a tube on the bottom of the battery box. The cables of the motor loop around the gap in between.
I don't see why a set comprised of a small train like this can't be offered for sale at a lower price point. On this model, the only discontinued (irreplaceable) part is the forward facing windows, but a substitute can easily be used by removing the doors.
Thanks for looking. Criticism, name calling and abuse welcome!

New Music
Listen to Eluvium's Heart-Tugging New Single, "Don't Get Any Closer"
After three years, Portland ambient soundscaper Eluvium has brought to the world a heart-tugging new track, "Don't Get Any Closer." The journey begins, as most do, slowly with a simple guitar loop, soon accompanied by a very powerful (yet gentle) grand piano. The build is long, but when the layers start to intertwine, it's impossible to escape. Eluvium's new album, Nightmare Ending, is due to be released May 14th on Brooklyn-based label Temporary Residence LTD, and it's is definitely on our wish list. Check the stream below:

A Day for The Ages
Saturday's doozy of a sports lineup stretches across the day, traverses the globe and packs enough punch to make even a die-hard fan's eyes hurt. And yet it could pale in comparison to a similar cosmic aligning 10 years ago—perhaps the most decadent day in modern sports history.
June 8, 2002 started with Serena Williams winning the French Open by beating her sister, Venus. The World Cup was going on in Japan and South Korea. Barry Bonds hit a first-inning homer in the first meeting between the Giants and Yankees since 1962.
Onto the afternoon. At the Belmont Stakes, War Emblem lost his late lead and Triple Crown bid to Sarava, a 70-to-1 longshot. Later, Lennox Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson in the highest-grossing heavyweight fight ever. (The top bout on the undercard? The winner was Manny Pacquiao.) The day finally ended when the Red Wings beat the Hurricanes in triple overtime of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
The schedule this time: French Open women's final, two Euro 2012 soccer matches, Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals, I'll Have Another going for the first Triple Crown since 1978 and Pacquiao fighting Timothy Bradley.
Then Sunday, it is likely that Rafael Nadal will go for his seventh French Open title in eight years against one of two obscure tennis players: Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer.

Policies supporting the construction of high-speed rail are getting back on track and gaining speed on the federal level. On July 9, Amtrak released a plan for the Northeast Corridor outlining its long-term vision to accommodate more trains operating at faster speeds, with significantly reduced trip times and improved service reliability. It also called for the development of the next generation of high-speed rail, reaching speeds of 220 mph among four major hubs: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
The study—marking the third update in the conceptual development and planning process for the Northeast "megaregion"—provides input for a new environmental analysis and master plan initiative led by the Federal Railroad Administration. Under the new proposal, travel times would shrink to 37 minutes from New York to Philadelphia and 94 minutes from New York to Washington, DC, promising increased commuter efficiency and encouraging economic development across the region…
The keyword on the Southeast's infrastructure scene is ports. Although roadway and railway projects are seeing some attention, ports are the critical link to commercial real estate growth in many Southeast regions.
According to the recent Urban Land Institute/Ernst & Young Infrastructure 2012 Report, trans-Atlantic freight could double over the next 15 years, and deep-hulled, super-post-Panamax container ships will be able to pass through a widened Panama Canal channel into the Atlantic by year-end 2014.
"Infrastructure won't reach capacity without the real estate solution alongside," says John Carver, head of the industrial real estate group at Jones Lang LaSalle. "At the same time, the commercial real estate industry is aware that it can be more productive with development money by clustering alongside the rail and seaport systems."
Just going by amount of jobs needed, it could be argued that the Midwest needs new high-speed rail corridors more than any other region. The massive amount of job vacancies in the Rust Belt cities such as Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis could be cut dramatically if there was a way to get fast rail between them—and to job-rich Chicago—and dead stations could benefit by the added rail use.
However, even the two major arteries given priority by President Barack Obama's high-speed rail vision, California and the Northeast, have had enormous trouble getting off the ground due to cost issues and other concerns, according to the infrastructure report by ULI/Ernst & Young. After three years, in early July 2012, Amtrak released a visioning plan for the Northeast and California legislators agreed to start building the state's first dedicated high-speed rail line.
The Midwest will take much longer, Ray Lang, chief of state government relations for Amtrak, tells Real Estate Forum. He says higher-speed rail is in the works for the Midwest lines, but confirmed that the desire is for "gradual implementation." And while light rail is still expanding in Chicago and some cities like Minneapolis, other cities are still passenger-rail poor, such as Detroit, which recently lost federal government confidence in a light rail project along Woodward Avenue…
Mention the words "infrastructure in Texas" and what might come to mind are highways and roadways. There is good reason for this; a quick study of a Lone Star State roadway map shows that much of the state centers around Interstate and federal highways between the major cities as well as loops around these cities to avoid congestion.
"Dallas and Houston are the poster children for growth that occurs around roadways and highways," comments John Sedlak, manager of rail passenger research for the Texas Transportation Institute. "These cities were very much driven by automobile travel as a primary means of transportation." What followed were what Sedlak calls "broad suburbs" unlimited by geographic constraints.
These days, those "broad suburbs" are being connected to CBD and other business and commercial real estate hubs, not with more roadways, but with light rail…
When anyone mentions Southern California, and L.A. in particular, the biggest infrastructure issue that comes to mind is traffic congestion. If you came to the city in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, it was a dynamic, busy and dense downtown—a slightly less claustrophobic version of cities like Manhattan or Chicago in terms of the amount of cars and people on the street, Carol Schatz, president and CEO of the Central City Association of L.A. and Downtown Center Business Improvement District, tells Real Estate Forum.
"Once the 1950s rolled around, and as freeways began to define the city's transportation culture—splicing downtown into sections, coupled with the general move-out into the suburbs—we became a suburban commuter culture as opposed to an urban culture, and we are paying the price," Schatz says. While she acknowledges that the added issue in having to deal with other municipalities can create a huge gridlock—in terms of quickly and effectively solving the transportation and traffic issues—she says that a real solution, Measure R, is on the table.
Measure R was approved in 2008 by a two-thirds majority, committing a projected $40 billion to traffic relief and transportation upgrades throughout the county over the next 30 years. It is expected to help fund dozens of critical transit and highway projects, create more than 210,000 construction jobs and infuse an estimated $32-billion back into the local economy, according to estimates by the nonprofit Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp…

I was a bit bored and got curious as to what everyone's favorite hunter spec is and why.
Suppose i'll got first my fav spec is BM because RNGesus hates me when I play SV.
I was a bit bored and got curious as to what everyone's favorite hunter spec is and why.
Suppose i'll got first my fav spec is BM because RNGesus hates me when I play SV.
Beast Mastery, it does more damage.. That's about it. And I guess SV just feels underpowered to me cuz the 4pc (while strong) just feels so weak. Nothing engaging bout spamming one button.
I like SV currently because I played BM most of this expac and it got stale. Plus, it's always nice to get procs, I enjoy those kind of specs.
4 piece SV is too RNG for my liking so sometime you, do good deeps and sometimes you do shit.
I levelled as BM, and when I hit 90 I decided to play Marksman as I figured it would be the long-range sniper style of play.. I was sadly disappointed, and went back to BM. It just feels more enjoyable to me, plus i'm surrounded with SV hunters so it's nice to be unique.
Similar to what Azo said though i'm inclined to play whichever brings the most damage at that given time, since raiding doesn't really have much individual glory :P
I enjoyed MM back in Wrath. . . never getting that back. I missed Armor Pen. . . the bleed damage were insane.
- - - Updated - - -
With the current T16 4pc bonus, Surv is definitely my favorite. (It's not as RNG as people say; you have to know how to play around it.) I enjoy MM at times too.
Generally, I don't like BM. It's mind-numbingly simple- and to have such a great portion of your damage coming from your pet feels rather unrewarding. Still, because BM is so powerful on some fights, I use it around half the time.
BM is a complicated spec, survival is a faceroll spec but MM is just right in the middle
MM, as it's more physical-bow-oriented. I don't like Survival much. Could consider BM as the 2nd spec, but definitely MM as the main.
MM cause of wrath, second fav is SV... never liked BM just because of the reliance on your pet for most of ur damage.
I can't even pick a favorite spec... I love and have uses for them all. I primarily PVP, though I do casually run LFR and solo a lot of old content. I always keep my MM spec for PVP and swap out the 2nd spec between BM and SV. Would use tri spec on a regular basis.
BM since day 1 of WoW
BM mostly thanks to BW. I just love that whack-a-mole CD.
Survival for me. I can't stand pet pathing and AI issues. I haven't played MM all xpac.

In It for the Long Run
I went running Friday morning. I may do so again this morning, weather permitting—meaning it's not really cold; the wind isn't blowing too hard; any puddles along the reservoir from recent rainstorms have dried up and the ditches they formed have been filled with fresh soil by Central Park Conservancy crews; and I have no meetings scheduled later in the day for which I must save my limited stamina. In other words, I'm on a streak.
However, mine is nothing compared to Stuart Calderwood's. Mr. Calderwood, a senior editor at New York Runner, the publication of the New York Road Runners Club, has run every day for the last 25 years.
He drops off his 9-year-old son, Kieran, at school on the Upper West Side and then runs across the park to work, throwing in a few extra laps just to make it more interesting. Mr. Calderwood holds the American record in the 25k and the 30k in the 50-54 age group. And he's completed the Empire State Building "Run-Up" 10 times. "I have broken the five-minute mile every year for the last 38 years," said the athlete, who is 53.
He never misses a run, even when he's traveling abroad. For instance, there was the time he flew to Australia for the Sydney Olympics. "It gets tricky with the dateline," he explained. "To be on the safe side and not to have an asterisk anywhere," he said he ran before he boarded the plane and as soon as he disembarked.
One time he even clocked his miles within the confines of a British prison cell. He was arrested after arriving at Dover without his passport. It had been stolen at the Barcelona Olympics. A police report he picked up in Spain allowed him to make it to Boulogne. But when he couldn't prove that he wasn't entering Britain to seek work illegally, the Brits threw him into a holding cell until they could confirm his story.
He told his jailers about his running streak—at that point a measly five years—and the importance of not allowing it to lapse. "I said, 'I have to run today.' I said, 'Can I go for a little out and back?' They put me in a 15-foot space above their office with bars on the windows. I proceeded to run back and forth for an hour. I ran for probably six or seven miles. I always run one and a quarter mile minimum."
A bobby came upstairs to see what the commotion was and noted a large, sleeping gentleman in an adjoining cell. Mr. Calderwood was warned he wouldn't be happy if awoken. That only aroused his competitive juices more. "I made a point of running faster and louder than I would otherwise," he remembered.
Other conditions that commonly preempt my own effort at a streak include injuries—meaning anything from an aching knee to vague feelings of ennui—and illness. They don't stop Mr. Calderwood, who said he doesn't ever get sick. "I don't clean anything," he explained, sharing his probiotic philosophy. "I never sterilize anything for my kid; he's never been sick, either."
The athlete probably isn't as quirky as he sounds. He's just saying that he doesn't have a phobia about germs; he believes exposure to them builds immunity.
I agree. I think our obsession with bacteria and flesh-eating diseases is overblown. I don't use Purell. I don't employ paper towels to open public bathroom doors. I have great faith in the human immune system.
On the other hand, I'm also a great believer in listening to your body. Where Mr. Calderwood lost me was when he described a tear to his right inner thigh adductor muscle that probably called for him to hang up his running shoes indefinitely. "I was prolonging my recovery," is the euphemistic way he described running through the pain. "I'm jogging in extreme discomfort." He distinguished his condition from outright agony. However, he added: "It finally did come to the point where I thought I might be preventing myself from running fast ever again."
When I first heard of his streak, I assumed Mr. Calderwood was one of those guys—his son notwithstanding—who lives alone, eats wheat germ three meals a day and has newspapers piled to the ceiling. But he's happily married to Stacy Creamer, a world-class triathlete and a two-time world champion in the duathlon, a running and cycling race. If anything, she sounds tougher than he is.
"Right now she's injured," Mr. Calderwood reported. "But she had a four-year streak without knowing it."
The athlete says he's somewhat uncomfortable with the attention the streak has generated. More important to him are his speed records. In fact, he considers the streak a sign of frailty, not strength.
In his late 20s, he was coaching a high school track team in Laguna Beach, Calif., his hometown, but letting his own running lapse. "If I didn't change something, I was never going to get any faster," he remembered. The only way he knew he'd be able to keep his commitment was if he ran every day. "I was addicted to not running. The streak was an admission of weakness."
Now that the streak has taken on a life of its own, there's a reputation to uphold. It has also attracted the attention of the United States Running Streak Association, which lists Mr. Calderwood's streak as the 78th longest in the U.S. among current runners. (The longest belongs to Mark Covert, 61, of Lancaster, Calif., at 43.54 years, or 15,904 days.)
Perhaps the best thing that ever happened to Mr. Calderwood—if you don't count getting sprung from that jail cell and besides having a kid, and a wife whose devotion to athletics equals his own—was a consciousness-raising encounter he had with an Irish road runners club when he was visiting Dublin in 1992 while training for the London Marathon. He joined them on a 13-mile run, gaining their respect and an invitation from their leader to join them for some post-run festivities at a local pub.
"I said, 'I'd love to go but I don't drink,'" Mr. Calderwood remembered. "His response was, 'You don't drink? Why do you bloody run?'"
"I proceeded to have five Guinnesses with them," he added. "I've been doing it ever since."
Corrections & Amplifications
An earlier version of this article spelled Stuart Calderwood's son's name incorrectly as Kiernan.

Principal Manifolds for Data Visualization and Dimension Reduction
your country
In 1901, Karl Pearson invented Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Since then, PCA serves as a prototype for many other tools of data analysis, visualization and dimension reduction: Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Nonlinear PCA (NLPCA), Self Organizing Maps (SOM), etc. The book starts with the quote of the classical Pearson definition of PCA and includes reviews of various methods: NLPCA, ICA, MDS, embedding and clustering algorithms, principal manifolds and SOM. New approaches to NLPCA, principal manifolds, branching principal components and topology preserving mappings are described as well. Presentation of algorithms is supplemented by case studies, from engineering to astronomy, but mostly of biological data: analysis of microarray and metabolite data. The volume ends with a tutorial "PCA and K-means decipher genome". The book is meant to be useful for practitioners in applied data analysis in life sciences, engineering, physics and chemistry; it will also be valuable to PhD students and researchers in computer sciences, applied mathematics and statistics.less

IMMIGRATION REFORM....I guess I'm supposed to have an opinion about the immigration reform bill that was hammered out yesterday, but I really don't. Guest worker programs are a disaster on a variety of levels, so that's a strike against it. The path to citizenship for current illegals is good, though absurdly complex for dumb political reasons. (Note to Republicans: your base is going to hate this provision no matter how much you lard it up with idiocies designed to make it look like it isn't "amnesty." It's a losing game.) The stiffer employer sanctions are a good idea, but only if the bill includes mechanisms to guarantee they'll be enforced. That looks iffy to me, though I probably need to educate myself more on the enforcement details. The revised visa protocols are probably a step in the right direction.
So....I dunno. This is the precisely the kind of issue that never produces anything close to a clean bill, so complaining about that is pointless. On substance, I'd give if a C-: it's worth passing barely but probably not worth mourning if it doesn't. On the politics, it probably deserves about a B, since passing it is likely to piss off the Republican base way more than it will the Democratic base. On the other hand, virtually every leading Republican candidate for president has denounced the bill (McCain is the exception), which means it gives them a wonderful built-in opportunity to recapture the base next year with fire-breathing speeches about how they wouldn't have sold our country for a mess of pottage if they'd been president. So maybe politically it's only a C+.
In other words, it's a mighty close call. Maybe I'll think differently after I've read more about it. We'll see.

SURAT: The mother of a 21-year-old daughter lodged a complaint at Rander police station in the city alleging cheating by tantrik of Rs 76,000. In her complaint the mother, Jyoti Sailor, alleged that the tantrik Pravin promised to end her daughter's love affair and took Rs 76,000. The tantrik failed to give the desired result and refused to return the payment despite several demands by Sailor.
Sailor's daughter is studying in Bachelor of Education (BEd) and came in touch with an auto rickshaw driver while going to college. Sailor came to know about the friendship and discussed it with her daughter. Despite several attempts to convince the daughter to end the relationship Sailor failed. Ultimately Sailor decided to go to a tantrik to end the love affair.
Sailor met Pravin, a tantrik living in Nilkanth Society of Palanpur Patiya area, and asked for help. Pravin promised Sailor a solution to her problem and claimed that the affair will end soon. For his services Pravin demanded cash Rs 35,000. Unable to pay the whole amount in cash Sailor first paid him Rs 16,000 and later gave jewellery worth Rs 60,000 to Pravin.
