Addressing the increasing popularity of water recycling, NSF International recently premiered Standard 350, a first-of-its-kind standard that addresses on-site treatment for wastewater reused for applications beyond subsurface irrigation.
The organization has also introduced 350-1, which focuses specifically on graywater for subsurface discharge.
"Subsurface discharge into the soil is very typical of water reuse systems," says Tom Bruursema, water reuse expert and general manager of NSF's sustainability division. "Standard 350 covers non-drinking water applications, such as surface irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing, and potentially car washing. It's focused on the treatment technology."
The Standard 350 logo appearing on NSF-certified products verifies that treatment systems meet the organization's design, performance, and quality standards. Requirements include sufficient alarm systems, piping clearly labeled as containing reuse water, easy access for maintenance, maximum noise levels, and other issues affecting the operation, as well as a comprehensive treatment system that ensures acceptable levels of quality indicators like turbidity, microorganisms, and suspended solids.
The standard is likely to gain favor first in states where water is a precious and expensive commodity, but the environmental benefits of such a system and its ability to fulfill LEED requirements will help the technology gain popularity, Bruursema says.
"Users will have the immediate reduction in consumption of potable water. If they use the public water supply, there will be cost savings in terms of their water bills," Bruursema explains. "In the long term, the reduction in the use of potable water has an environmental benefit and reduces the amount of energy consumed to transport potable water and wastewater to a facility for treatment."

Re: Band Called Killing Time
Ok,Ive found some info on them and the youtube link above was very handy as the "dream on" video clip is there too.Thanx Guys and gals. Here is some more stuff on Killing Time/Mantissa.
Killing time was formed in 1989 by Adam Pringle (vocals; ex-Compressed Heads), Nina Grant (bass, vocals; ex-Good and Evil) and Chris Paine (guitar; ex-Utter Stench). A procession of drummers came through the band before the end of 1989 until Tubby Wadsworth (real name Alex Nikolzew; ex-Massive Appeal, Fester Fanatics) joined as a permanent member.
The band started out playing the inner-Melbourne circuit and in June, 1990 their line-up expanded with the inclusion of guitarist Jed Starr (real name Darren McCormack, ex-Massive Appendage, Fester Fanatics). Killing Time's style then shifted away from Stooges-style grunge leanings to a more contemporary hard rock style. Led Zeppelin, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Living Color were obvious influences.
In February, 1991 the groups first recording, the 12-inch EP "Ruby's Mind", was released and they quickly outgrow their fanatical Melbourne crowd. The EP's first pressing ran just 800 units but by August, 1991 10,000 units had been pressed and the release had made the Australian Top 20.
They scored lucrative support slots with internationals like Faith No More, Mudhoney, Scatterbrain and Jane's Addiction and Killing Time became the subject of a furious bidding war between every major record company in Australia. They eventually signed a deal with Sydney-based independent label Red Eye.
Red Eye reissued "Ruby's Mind" in July of 1991, followed by the CD EP "The Mandlebroth Set" in October 1991. The band issued the CD single "Dream Alone"/"Mystery Line" in February, 1992, after which Jed Starr left to re-form Fester Fanatics. His place was taken by Chris Collins (ex-Greg Brady Overdrive). Drummer Tubby Wadsworth also left the band at this point to be replaced by Syd Green.
Killing Time then signed an international record deal with Polydor Records, and entered the studio with American producer Terry Date (best known for his hard rock production work with Soundgarden and Pantera) in May, 1992 to begin recording their debut album. Due to a band also called Killing Time in the USA and another in Japan, the local Killing Time became Mantissa in August 1992. The name was inspired by John Fowles' novel "Mantissa" in which Mantissa was deemed the goddess of creativity. Mantissa's debut album "Mossy God" came out in October, 1992 which coincided with the band's Australian tour support to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Two singles were lifted from the debut Mantissa album, "Mary Mary" (which peaked at #55 on the Australian charts in November, 1992) and "Land of the Living" (#60 in March ,1993). The album mixed grinding, h

Re: Band Called Killing Time
Two singles were lifted from the debut Mantissa album, "Mary Mary" (which peaked at #55 on the Australian charts in November, 1992) and "Land of the Living" (#60 in March ,1993). The album mixed grinding, heavy riffs, Grant's rumbling bass lines and Pringle's dramatic vocals with a mystical feel and all manner of psychedelic touches. Following the release of "Mossy God" and the single "Land of the Living" in the USA mid-1993, Mantissa spent nine months touring across America. The band returned to Australia and issued a new CD single "Sanctify" in June, 1994. This was followed by an Australian support tour in November for US rock heavyweights Pantera.
After taking part in the national Big Day Out tour in January of 1995 Mantissa released a new CD EP, "Inter Alia". The release was not well received. The band had changed their musical direction quite radically and funk and alternative leanings were dropped in favour of an experimental, sometimes bizarre, musical excursion.
August 1995 saw the release of the band's second album, "Thirst". The album sold poorly and it seems Mantissa alienated many of its fans after the "Inter Alia" release and few had the patience to jump back on the subsequent album release. Having been tagged `The Next Big Thing' and `The Band Most Likely To...' very early in their career, Mantissa quietly slipped from view.
ADAM PRINGLE The last word we had on Adam Pringle was that he was on an "extended horticultural excursion" in Northern New South Wales somewhere. He has been spotted from time to time in Melbourne when he returns.
There was talk of Adam pursuing a new project a few years ago under the name Damaged Goodz but this doesn't seem to have eventuated.
NINA GRANT Word is Nina has been on the same extended vacation as Adam but she has been known to return to Melbourne more frequently and, from our eyewitness accounts, "looks great".
Before Killing Time Paine was actually a very successful skateboarder, featuring in magazines and publications across the country. Word is the three original Killing Time Melbournites were your regular skater punk kids. Paine was somewhat of a mascot for the Prahran skate shop of the time known as "Cheap Skates". The shop was just a stone's throw from the local skate bowl and many of the skater kids from the area congregated there to watch their local hero Paine do his thing. Music came along to this crew when iconic Melbourne store Fretted Instruments turned the Cheap Skates building into their Prahran store. This became the store from which Killing Time/Mantissa bought most all of their equipment throughout their career.
Chris Paine had been spotted a few times around Melbourne riding a mountain bike in the past few years. Apparently he has a mountain biking and moto

Re: Band Called Killing Time
Apparently he has a mountain biking and motocross hobby but no one we've caught up with was ever able to engage Chris in conversation. He had withdrawn from more than just music from all accounts and was the one for whom rock excess has been most difficult to shake.
It had appeared that music and Chris Paine had parted company until late last year Mechatronix turned up. We believe it's an industrial type of outfit complete with drum machine but the bands page at DoubleHardRecords.com has disappeared. The band did gig around the inner-Melbourne circuit so if anyone knows anything more drop us a line.
Thanks to Mechatronix lugger Stuart we can update you on the movements of Mechatronix. Stuart sent us this update on August 25th, 2003:
Mechatronix have changed guitarists, due to "musical differences", which is why they haven't been gigging for a while. Their new guitarist, "Kiwi Joe", rocks hard and does the old "twiddly twiddly" up the guitar neck really well. The drummer, Michael "Doc" Nelson ( a man, not a machine ), plays an electronic drumkit and is the backbone of the band's hard driving sound. Chris Paine does the vocals, bass and some guitar and it's great to see him back on stage looking and performing well and free from "rock excess".
The band have been hard at work perfecting their sound and recording tracks. there are 4 tracks available to download to mp3 or listen to at http://www15.brinkster.com/kryptica/index3.html in the NEWS section.
The new line up will be playing their tunes at The Duke of Windsor in September and are looking to play other venues. The quality of their sound turns other musician's heads so if you like three piece bands that "punch above their weight", get along and see them.You won't regret it, ( and I might get paid!).
Thanks Stuart!
TUBBY WADSWORTH Drummer Tubby Wadsworth has spent his past decade or so playing jazz and rock covers. He was last spotted about three years ago by one of our eyewitnesses playing in a small group in the back corner of a pizza bar in Liverpool, New South Wales.
JED STARR Jed Starr was originally a Sydneysider who formed Festers Fanatics, a band that came within a poofteenth of signing a major label deal after both Rose Tattoo and Guns 'N' Roses threw their significant weight behind them. He came down to Melbourne to escape the hassles, as he saw them, of the Sydney scene. Starr took Killing Time to the next level in their careers, refining their music from the punk/grunge they'd started playing. When Starr had tired of the Killing Time gig (for many reasons) he left to form Melbourne band Starworld. There were legal issues with his former bandmates and Starr reportedly suffered from the strain. Fester's was reformed around April/May of 1994 and went on for a while before Jed returned to Sydney.

Re: Band Called Killing Time
Thanks to the contributor who gave us the following information regarding Jed and his current movements:
Just an addition to your Killing Time page. Tubby Wadsworth is in collaboration with a number of emerging Sydney rock bands and has lived in Newtown for the last 10 years. He makes his living as a drum teacher and has done so for many years. He is in contact with Jed Starr but, according to Tubby, is not likely to re emerge as a working musician anytime soon.
I have spoken to Tubby occasionally when i see him as i was a big fan of Killing Time and enquire as to his and Jed's movements as I thought the line up with Jed and Tubby was the best line up of the band, not to mention what a talented guitarist and producer Jed was. (Listen to Killing Time vs Mantissa version of Dream Alone etc. for proof).
CHRIS COLLINS Chris Collins has done little musically since the demise of Mantissa. He has played a little with fellow former Mantissa member Syd Green. Besides that we know nothing more of his movements.
SYD GREEN In late 1995, following the dissolution of Mantissa, Syd Green joined Christ Art Museum. He spent the next few years playing with CAM and another band, Guilding The Lily, before joining iOTA in 1999. He is also into producing and is apparently doing very well at it.
iOTA released their new album, "La Caravana", about three weeks ago and are currently touring in support of the release. They spend the next few weeks in New South Wales, commencing from next Saturday with six dates supporting The Whitlams. A few headlining shows will follow The Whitlams supports with more dates to be announced.
UPDATE - 28th JUNE 2005
Just read your info regarding Sydney Green (Killing Time et al) and thought I'd send you a link to more recent history. www.catbird.com.au and www.sydgreen.com.au are Syd's latest ventures...
Our sincere thanks to Elhi for that update.
One of the two or three original drummers of Killing Time was Russell Hopkinson. His tenure was short-lived but we thought his inclusion was worth special mention as he went on to drum for Nursery rimes, then scored the plumb spot behind the skins for You Am I, a gig he holds until this day.

I guess this was put in so the user wouldn't see a lot of screen redraws as the page was loading. I set mine to 1 just to try it out and I thought I detected a slight difference in the "font flashing" that affects sites using Google fonts; the flashing seemed to be more apparent at 1 than 0, but maybe it's my imagination.
Nope, on second thought, it didn't seem to affect the font flashing at all.

Since then, additional cases have been reported by Howard,2 Schwartz,3 Andries and Kaump,4 Dodrick,5 Schumann,6 Blauel7 and Berezin, Sharnoff and Stein.8 Because of the rarity of the disease, we wish to record an additional case.
The patient was a 2 month old white male infant who was born at full term after a medically induced labor. The mother was Rh negative and the baby Rh positive, but there had been no rise in Rh titer during pregnancy. Shortly after birth, three pinhead-sized reddish macular spots were noted on the infant's body. They gradually increased in size to that of a small pea.

Washington, Mar 23 (EFE).- The United States Senate approved early Saturday by a slim margin its first budget in four years, which includes nearly $1 trillion in tax hikes over the next 10 years.
With 50 votes in favor and 49 against, the Senate approved before dawn a $3.7 trillion federal budget for the fiscal year 2014, after voting on numerous amendments throughout the night.
No Republicans supported the bill, while four Democrats who are likely to face tough battles in the November 2014 mid-term elections also rejected the measure.
Over the past four years, the Democrat-controlled Senate had passed stopgap measures to finance federal government operations.
The new budget proposal includes, among other elements, tax increases of $970 billion, modest cuts in a number of domestic programs, and a $100 billion investment in public works to stimulate job creation.
In a communique, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney praised Saturday the approval of the budget plan in the Senate, considering that it "will create jobs and cut the deficit in a balanced way."
"Like the president's plan, the Senate budget cuts wasteful spending, makes tough choices to strengthen entitlements, and eliminates special tax breaks and loopholes for the wealthiest Americans to reduce the deficit," he said.
Referring to a rival plan approved Thursday by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, Carney said it does not eliminate tax breaks for the wealthy but "makes deep cuts to education and manufacturing while asking seniors and the middle class to pay more."
The plans served to set out the parties' competing visions, but analysts say they have little chance of becoming law.

Each Moment Is the Universe: Zen and the Way of Being TimeIt's easy to regard time as a commodity—we even speak of "saving" or "spending" it. We often regard it as an enemy, when we feel it slipping away before we're ready for time to be up. The Zen view of time is radically different than that: time is not something separate from our life; rather, our life is time. Understand this, says Dainin Katagiri Roshi, and you can live fully and freely right
$15.99Dainin Katagiri (19281990) was a central figure in the transmission of Zen in America. His first book, Returning to Silence, emphasized the need to return to our original, enlightened state of being, and became one of the classics of Zen in America. In You Have to Say Something, selections from his talks have been collected to address another key theme of Katagiri's teaching: that of bringing
The Haunting Zen of Dainin Katagiri"After my death I will come back and haunt over you, checking on your practice." Dainin Katagiri Roshi, one of the greatest pioneers of Zen in America, said this frequently, teasing Dosho Port and his fellow students. For Dosho, Katagiri Roshi's "haunting" still includes, to borrow a phrase from Warren Zevon, "keeping him in my heart a while" - continuing the intimate exploration of the indelible
$8.69The human mind is inherently free. It neither affirms nor denies. It is not constrained by the conflict of the opposites, like right and wrong or self and others. An awakened mind knows that the dynamic unity between self and others forms part of an integrated whole. Having direct knowledge of this mind brings profound peace. The teachings of the Buddha point the way to acquire this knowledge

On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You AreAt the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the "outside" world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world.

While setting up "Lord Lonsdale's ninepins", I've found one I can't place: Col. James Lowther (1753–1837), MP for Westmorland 1775–1812 and Appleby 1812–1818, returned for Haslemere 1790 but preferred to sit for Westmorland. Have you any notion of where he might fit into the family pedigree? Choess 18:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Afraid not. I have been tackling it from the parliamentary end, where I have most of the relevant reference books, and have been meaning to chase up the odds and ends of who is who later when it isn't immediately obvious. But I'll see if I can find out.Rgmmortimore 20:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've been able to find him. He was, in fact, quite a distant relative, the fourth cousin of Lord Lonsdale. He was the great-great-grandson of Lancelot Lowther, Rector of Long Marston and son of Sir Christopher Lowther (1557-1617). Lancelot's descendants, the Lowthers of Colby Leathes, were an obscure cadet branch, many of whom became clergy and occupied living controlled by the main branch of the family. Other than Col. James, the only other member of note I can find is his grandson William Henry Lowther, active during the Indian Mutiny and retired as a major-general, and perhaps his grandson Anthony William Lowther, architect and antiquarian. Choess 23:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Just as a small point on an otherwise good entry - name changes are by Royal License.Alci12 19:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I had that from a contemporary source, I think, but probably not reliable on terminology. I guess on reflection there would have been a letters patent to certify the change made by royal license? Rgmmortimore 18:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Narcissus Luttrell[edit]
Your edit summary here said that Luttrell was an MP. I wasn't aware of this--do you have a source you could point me to, so I could put it in the article? Thanks. Chick Bowen 15:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Only Leigh Rayment [[1]], but he's generally reliable - lists a Narcissus Luttrell as MP for Bossiney 1679-81, and the birth and death dates match - there can't be two of them! Found him while setting up the MPs' list for Bossiney. Rgmmortimore 18:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK--I see someone else has put in the MP info, but I'll add the source. Thanks. Chick Bowen 03:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Downton (UK Parliament constituency)[edit]
It is likely that this article will be removed, you should have added/ completed all your research and references to the article when creating it. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 19:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Headings and boxes[edit]
Hi Rgmmortimore, thanks for filling in the rest of the electoral career of Joseph Compton-Rickett, for whom I had listed only constituency. One small thing, though: according to Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standard_appendices_and_descriptions, ll succession boxes and navigational footers should go at the very end of the article, following the last appendix section, but preceding the "categories and interwiki links" ... so I moved the succession box back below the sources section.
- Thanks; in that case I suppose I will have to follow the house style. However, it ought perhaps to be reviewed - the material in the succession boxes is just as dependent on its sources and needing references as everything else in the article (and frequently includes details not spelled out in full in the text). Essentially it is a part of the article in a sense that categories, stub tags and so on are not.
Also, did you know that Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from English constituencies had been renamed to Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament for English constituencies? The other national sub-categories of UK MPs were also renamed, to Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament for Scottish constituencies etc. The old names still exist (for now) as category redirects, but articles won't be moved across until the bot does one of its infrequent runs or someone moves them manually. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I hadn't noticed the change in the category wording but will use the new version in future Rgmmortimore 10:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Historic constituencies and counties[edit]
Hi Rgmmortimore, thanks for your msg on my talk page. I replied there, but then realised that the discussion might be of interest to others working on constituencies, so I have moved it to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies#Historic_constituencies_and_counties. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I cannot let you get away with the edits on Preston (UK Parliament constituency) without saying a massive well done and thank you. The historical MPs and sources is a perfect addition to the article. I can only offer my thanks, it's a great help :) doktorb wordsdeeds 20:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Consumer Debt Dynamics: Follow the Increasers
Consumer debt played a central role in creating the U.S. housing bubble, the ensuing housing downturn, and the Great Recession, and it has been blamed as a factor in the weak subsequent recovery as well. This paper uses micro-level data to decompose consumer debt dynamics by separating the actions of consumer debt increasers and decreasers, and then further decomposing movements into percentage and size margins among the increasers and decreasers. We view such a decomposition as informative for macroeconomic models featuring a central role for consumer debt. Using this framework, we show that variations in borrowing activity among the increasers explain four times as much of the total variation in consumer debt as variations among the decreasers who are shedding debt, whether through paydowns or defaults. We also provide micro-level evidence of a sharp decline in the percentage of increasers during the financial crisis that is qualitatively consistent with a binding zero lower bound on nominal interest rates, and evidence of a cycle in the average size of debt changes among the increasers that is related to rising collateral values pre-crisis coupled with additional financial frictions after the crisis.

Kiwi golfer Mark Brown is leading the charge at the New
Zealand Open at a sun-drenched Clearwater today.
Brown, who began the day at one-over the card, is six-under
on his round through 12 holes after making six birdies and
holds a two-shot lead over round two leader Daniel Fox and
Kiwi Peter Spearman-Burn.
Brown, a former European Tour professional who finished in a
tie for third at last week's Australian Masters, is at
five-under for the tournament.
Michael Hendry was only one back from Brown after 12 holes
but double-bogeyed the 13th to drop two strokes and is back
in a share of fourth, alongside Australian Michael Wright.
Spearman-Burn is three-under for the day through 10 holes and
drained a monster putt on the tricky par-three ninth for a
memorable birdie.
The Wellington right-hander has been solid all week with
rounds of 73 and 71 and has slipped under the radar at
Conditions have improved greatly from day one and only a
light breeze greets the players on course this afternoon and
there's potential for some low scoring, which has been absent
from the tournament so far.
Other Kiwis in the mix include Gareth Paddison, who is
one-over for the day and is at even par alongside Brad
Mahal Pearce, who was the last Kiwi to win the event, dropped
a shot during his first 11 holes and is one-over the card in
a share of 16th, where rookie professionals Ryan Fox and
Mathew Perry also sit.
Former PGA Tour player Phil Tataurangi fired a three-under 69
after teeing off earlier in the day and improved to two-over
for the tournament but would need a blistering fourth round
to figure in the final standings.

Why is Fractional Anisotropy (FA), a measure in diffusion tensor imaging, called "fractional"? I'd have thought "local", i.e. voxel-wise, would have been the correct way to qualify the anisotropy that is calculated from the tensor model, so why fractional?

Like lea's comment indicated, FA is called "fractional" anisotropy simply because it's the degree of anisotropic diffusion, i.e., a ratio (Soares, Marques, Alves and Sousa, 2013).

Floyd Mayweather JR defence..
So, I have watched all his fights and his defence is really weird. It didn't quite make sense to me when I first saw it but it SEEMED like it worked and opponents couldn't hit him. So me and my brother was fighting and I switched my defence up like Floyd raising my left shoulder and tucking my chin in.. which is FLAWED. My brother just smashed my arm in and i was down for the count..
Really how is that a good defence? Making your arms get hit instead of your face is better then getting hit in face but is far from good defence. Tysons defence is far superior how he moved side to side without getting touched. Trust me all Floyd has to do is get in a fight with a hard puncher and just try pulling that **** on them, they'd smash his arm up real bad. How can people say his defence is so good when he ruins his arm??

Thats just his stance, it allows him to see whats coming and he tucks his chin in so he dont get rocked. But the stance alone wont help you..lol..I can have a stance like Bruce Lee and get the snots beat out of me..becuase im not him, Floyds defense is his ability to see punches come and is really quick and knows how to roll with shots and know exactly where to stand to counter its years and years of practice.

Haha just standing exposing your left shoulder is not his defence
It's based on speed and reflexes and the stance helps in making him a smaller target,when you stand side on

OverviewCryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite found in contaminated water. It has been increasingly recognized as the cause of outbreaks of diarrhea when water supplies become contaminated. In normal individuals, it is a self-limited disease. Among immunocompromised individuals with AIDS, cryptosporidium can cause severe diarrheal disease, gallbladder disease (cholecystitis), and inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).

So while rewriting some code, I came across something along the lines of:
Method 1
while ( iter.hasNext() ) {
Object obj = iter.next();
if ( obj instanceof Something ) {
returnValue = (Something) obj;
I re-wrote it as the following without much thought (the actual purpose of the re-write was for other logic in this method):
Method 2
while ( (iter.hasNext()) && (returnValue == null) ) {
Object obj = iter.next();
if ( obj instanceof Something ) {
returnValue = (Something) obj;
I personally don't have any strong preference for either and really don't see anything wrong with either approach. Can anyone else think of benefits or consequences of using either approach? The variable, returnValue is returned. How would people feel if that was the last block in the method, and it is just returned?
EDIT: So here's what I'm doing: Currently this method takes a set of authorizations and validates them - returning a boolean. This method allows grouping so you can specify that at least one or all (meaning if at least one authorization is valid, pass the whole set). However, this method does not support levels of authorization which is what I'm changing it to do so that each level can specify different grouping. All this bit is just background information...does not have that much to do with the above code - an alternative method is used to perform the above block of code.

I'm trying to create a very basic server in python that listens in on a port, creates a TCP connection when a client tries to connect, receives data, sends something back, then listens again (and repeats the process indefinitely). This is what I have so far:
from socket import *
serverName = "localhost"
serverPort = 4444
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((serverName, serverPort))
print "Server is ready to receive data..."
while 1:
newConnection, client = s.accept()
msg = newConnection.recv(BUFFER_SIZE)
print msg
newConnection.send("hello world")
Sometimes this seems to work perfectly well (if I point my browser to "localhost:4444" the server prints out the HTTP GET request and the webpage print the text "hello world"). But I'm getting the following error message sporadically when I try to start the server after closing it in the last few minutes:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "path\server.py", line 8, in <module>
s.bind((serverName, serverPort))
File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 224, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
error: [Errno 10048] Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
I'm programming in python using Windows 7. Any ideas on how to fix this?

About this Business
From Our Editors
There are many potential explanations for the popularity of Big Jud's specialty burgers. It could be their inventive combinations of toppings such as green chili peppers, blue cheese, and onion rings. Or maybe it could be their gargantuan size. Adam Richman of the Travel Channel's Man v. Food hit the nail on the head when he described the Double Big Jud burger as "so huge, it has its own gravitational pull." Adam's rendition of the plate-sized, two-patty burger kept his frightened table from fleeing the scene with an anchor of bacon, mushrooms, and swiss and blue-cheese toppings. Today, the Man Versus Food burger stands in the menu as a testament to his courage to eat the entire thing himself.
Those who balk at the prospect of conquering a Big Jud burger alone can split a party-size combo with friends, or simply request one of the menu's 12 smaller burgers. Though they owe their reputation to their beefy meals, Big Jud's chefs also cook chicken sandwiches and famously gargantuan fresh-cut fries, which Boise Weekly deemed "potato-based Lincoln Logs." For dessert, ice cream, milkshakes, and malts complete the restaurant's old-fashioned-diner vibe.

8. Roma 1 and 2
Replaces: Construction workers, high-rise window washers, building inspectors
The advanced climbing robots can observe areas too dangerous or difficult for human climbers or inspectors. Roma 1's grasping mechanism inspects steel beam structure, while Roma 2's suction cups can climb the outside of buildings like Spider-Man. The addition of a window-cleaning mechanism can also eliminate costly high-rise window-cleaning services.

OT - Wings re-sign Glendening
4-year contract extension for Luke G.
Montoya to the Habs
One year contract to back up the best goalie in hockey, Carey Price. Good move for Al joining Patches. GO HABS GO!!
Wings Sign Frans Nielsen
6 year deal. Just broke. No numbers yet.
Red Wings resign Darren Helm
OT- Stamkos Re-Signing with the Lightning
According to Bob McKenzie of TSN, Steven Stamkos will re-sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning. This comes as a bit of a surprise as the three favorites to sign him were Detroit, Buffalo, and Toronto. This comes as a bit of a blow to the Wings, who were favorites to sign the 26 year old all star.
(Sorry I cant embed tweets so can someone else embed McKenzie's?)
NHL Draft open thread: incoming freshman goalie LaFontaine goes 3rd round
NHL Draft open thread.
Two incoming freshmen have already been drafted.
Will Lockwood was drafted in the 3rd, #64 by the Vancouver Canucks.
Jack LaFontaine, hopefully our starting goalie this year has been drafted in the 3rd round, 75th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Luke Martin is 17 like Werenski was. He'll probably be a first rounder in next year's draft when he's eligible.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A woman has been indicted on charges she
made 14 airplane trips to transport marijuana from California to Ohio between November and her arrest in June, when authorities say she flew to Columbus with hundreds of pounds of the drug in her suitcases.
Federal authorities say Los Angeles resident Lisette Lee is charged with one count of conspiracy and 14 counts alleging she had marijuana with intent to distribute. She's accused of taking the drug to Columbus, Toledo, Dayton and Hamilton.
Lee's family says she was born in Seoul, South Korea, and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.
Defense attorney James Owen says Lee is in a predicament "because of some unfortunate people she met at a very vulnerable
point in her life."
Prosecutors say five other California residents have been charged in the indictment unsealed Wednesday.

OpenTable Falls the Most Since IPO After Sales Disappoint
OpenTable Inc., the San Francisco-based restaurant-reservation website, suffered the worst one-day stock drop ever after third-quarter sales missed analysts' estimates.
OpenTable shares tumbled 14 percent to $37.11 as of 2:05 p.m. New York time. The stock, already down 39 percent this year through yesterday, fell as much as 17 percent to $35.60 earlier in the session -- the biggest decline since the company went public in May 2009.
The company has seen a slowdown in North America, where the persistent economic slump is putting a damper on dining out. OpenTable also is confronting rising employee costs and the threat of competition from partners. Google Inc., which works with OpenTable, pushed deeper into the market in September with the acquisition of the Zagat restaurant guides.
"Revenue growth in North America decelerated in part due to the slowdown in the restaurant industry," said Clay Moran, an analyst at Benchmark Co. "The growing competition hasn't hurt it yet, but might have more impact in the future."
Revenue rose 40 percent to $34.4 million, the company said yesterday in a statement. Analysts had projected $35.8 million, according to Bloomberg data. Excluding some items, profit was 30 cents a share, matching predictions.
Moran has a "hold" rating on the stock and lowered his target price today to $50 from $60.
Operating expenses jumped 43 percent in the third quarter to $28.5 million at OpenTable, outpacing sales growth. The costs were fueled by a 51 percent increase in staff, the company said. Net income rose 5.8 percent to $4.06 million, or 17 cents a share, from $3.84 million, or 16 cents, a year earlier.
Toptable.com, a 2010 acquisition, helped boost international reservations, the company said. OpenTable works with a total of 23,866 restaurants, a 57 percent increase from the year-earlier third quarter. The number of seated diners who used the service climbed 48 percent to 23.6 million in the quarter.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - There are no free lunches in life, but one could always count on free beer samples at Anheuser-Busch theme parks. Until now.
The brewer has put the kibosh on the free beer samples at hospitality centers at its SeaWorld theme parks in Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego and its Busch Gardens parks in Tampa and Williamsburg, Va. In their place, the brewer plans to build restaurants, or other food-related venues, which have a broader appeal to children and families, said Fred Jacobs, vice president of communications for Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks.
No word on whether those venues will sell beer.
Jacobs says: "This was something that had pretty narrow appeal. We were looking to expand it into something that had broader appeal."

Northeast Snow Forecast
Northeast Snow Forecast
Starting Wednesday night and continuing through Thursday, low pressure will slide up near or off the East Coast.
(MORE: February Peak for Northeast Snowstorms)
As is almost always the case, the exact track of the coastal low will be crucial. A track a bit farther offshore would draw snow toward the coast, while a farther inland track would shift the rain/snow line farther inland.
Although subtle differences in the track of low could make a difference in where the rain/snow sets up, there is confidence that a swath of the Northeast will be impacted by heavy snow and strong winds.
As our forecast maps illustrate, the snow will start Wednesday night in the Middle Atlantic, including Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Snow should arrive in New York City after midnight. From there, the snow will then spread northward through the Northeast region Thursday morning into Thursday night, including Albany, N.Y., Boston, Mass., Hartford, Conn., Concord, N.H. and Bangor, Maine. Friday morning, snow may continue in parts of New England before finally ending later in the day.
How Much Snow?
At this time, we expect a swath of 5 to 12 inches in a corridor from Virginia to Maryland, eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, southeast New York and New England. Higher elevation locations in New England, including the Berkshires, could see up to 18 inches of snow.
Significant snow will affect parts of the Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City metros initially, before potentially mixing with or changing to sleet or rain. Accumulations of 5 inches or more are possible before any potential changeover occurs. As alluded to earlier, this will depend on the exact track of the low pressure system, so accumulations could be more or less.
Locations north and west of the I-95 corridor will likely see the heaviest accumulations since they will have less of a chance of mixing with rain or sleet. Up to a foot of snow is possible through this corridor.
Farther north, significant snow is expected in Hartford, Conn., Worcester, Mass., Concord, N.H. and Bangor, Maine. Depending on how far west warm air is pulled into New England by the intensifying area of low pressure, these locations could also mix with freezing rain or sleet for a time before ending as snow.
For Boston, snow is likely to start with 3 to 5 inches forecast, however it appears a change to rain is likely as milder air is drawn into coastal areas from the Atlantic. Locations to the west of I-495 have the greatest chance of seeing heavier snow.
Bottom line: No matter where the rain and snow lines eventually set up, there will likely be widespread travel disruption in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast from Virginia to Maine in the Wednesday night through early Friday time frame.
As the area of low pressure intensifies, winds will also increase near and inland from the Northeast coastline throughout the day and into the evening. This could lead to blowing snow and poor visibility at times, particularly in New England.
Sustained winds of 15 to 30 mph are expected with higher gusts. The strongest wind gusts could potentially approach 40 or 50 mph from near the New York City area into coastal New England.
