The history of the truck is a very exciting one -especially since the importance of truck transportation has grown continually. And continues to grow.
When Volvo produced its first truck back in the late 1920s, trucks were regarded as being just a complement to horse-drawn wagons, the railways and sea transportation. Today, the truck has become the main tool for transporting goods, which is essential if modern society is to function properly.
Here is the history of our trucks - decade by decade. In many respects, we dare to say, it's also the story about how the modern truck has developed.

About the Book
Marley the loveable, trouble-making yellow lab stars in another holiday adventure in the picture book Trick or Treat, Marley! by John Grogan, author of Marley & Me.
Marley's family is throwing a Halloween party. Cassie and Baby Louie are having lots of fun putting up spooky decorations. And Marley's having even more fun destroying them. The kids hang a creepy skeleton. Marley runs away with the leg bone. The kids string fake spider webs on the stairs. Marley sweeps them up with his tail. The kids carve pumpkins. Marley gets his head stuck in a jack-o'-lantern.
Worst of all—he eats every piece of Halloween candy!
Will Marley's family be able to have any Halloween fun with their naughty puppy around?
Richard Cowdrey's illustrations bring the charming and mischievous Marley to life.
I t's Halloween, the silliest and spookiest night of the year. And when Marley's around, it's also the messiest! This year the family is throwing a big Halloween party, and Marley wants to help with the preparations. But in typical Marley fashion, instead of helping he causes havoc. He gets his head stuck in a pumpkin, turns the streamers into confetti, and eats all of the Halloween candy, and that's just the beginning!
In the bestselling tradition of Bad Dog, Marley!, A Very Marley Christmas, Marley Goes to School, and Marley and the Kittens, John Grogan and Richard Cowdrey spin another web of Marley fun. Hilarious and heartwarming, this tale is perfect for trick-or-treaters everywhere.

In today's breaking celebrity news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and Jodie Foster isn't straight.
Foster kind of sort of came out Sunday night at the Golden Globes, where she was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. She also seemed to imply that she was all but quitting show business.
After being introduced by Robert Downey Jr., Foster said, "While I'm here being all confessional, I just have the sudden urge to say something I've never been able to air in public. A declaration that I'm a little nervous about. ... But uh, you know, I'm just going to put it out there. Loud and proud. I'm going to need your support. I am -- single!"
Then Foster got a bit more serious, saying "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her. To everyone she actually met. But now, apparently I'm told, that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show."
That's right. And now that she's single, I can't wait to see her in "Celebrity Lesbian Bachelorette."
Foster, 50, went on to speak about the absence of privacy in Hollywood, joking she was "not Honey Boo Boo" before adding, "If you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you, too, would value privacy above all else."
According to the Huffington Post, Foster also thanked her ex-partner and co-parent, Cydney Bernard, and said she would only take projects that challenged her creatively -- which left a number of publications such as the Los Angeles Times to speculate whether or not the Oscar-winning actress was also announcing her retirement.
She clarified later that wasn't the case.

If we are going to send our troops to fight then let them. Ever since Pres Trumen we have been held back. It would be better to remove our troops then let them become targets as is happening now. If the politicians want to fight let them do it or else have there son's and dau's enlist.

Will Gen. David Petraeus' command in Afghanistan expedite an end to the war there?
11 Comments
As in Vietnam, when you can"t tell the difference between the Militants and regular Civilians, what do you do? EEney, Meany, Miney, Moe?
What about a coordinated U.S./Pakistani pincer movement on the Border area.
Your right Short Memory but your boy new what he was getting into and neither served a day on active duty!
Your glory boy Bush said criticism of the President in wartime is treason. If it was treason back then - it's treason now. You can't have it both ways, Phyllis.
We heard Republicans say it again and again and again and again when Bush was President: criticizing a sitting President with troops in the field is TREASON. It's demoralizing to the troops. It's evil. It's what "slimy libruls" would do.
Now, typically, Republiturd hypocrisy rears its ugly head and one hears criticixm of Obama on an hourly basis, by not just civilians, not just enlisted, but OFFICER RANK MILITARY - and it's all OK.
What does this tell us?
1. Republicans are ALWAYS hypocritical - it's impossible for them to not be.
2. ANYTHING coming out of a Republican's mouth is a lie.
3. That Republicans must really have scraped the bottom of the barrel to have to stoop to "Rolling Stone Magazine" to make their diatribe public. I mean, really, how pathetic is that?
If McChrystal didn't have the balls to hold a press conference and state his views, but instead had to run to "Rolling Stone," he doesn't deserve to wear the uniform of a United States officer.
It was clear from the start that Gen. McChrystal did not offer his resignation - it was demanded! A reprimand yes, to be relieved no. To talk to Rolling Stone a lapse in good judgement? Yes. Will the Afghans ever step up and fight? No. Like Viet Nam we are fighting a war with politics. The talking heads must get out of the way and let our military do their job! Good luck Gen. Petraeus and God Bless our troops!
"President" Obama says he agrred with the strategy of the outgoing General yet when the General said he needed 40,000 troops Obama only agreed to 30,000 then played games with those. Obviously if we keep the same strategy and tactics and manpower that General Patreous also was privy to and reportedly agreed with then we will make no more progress than the outgoing General did. In fact I fear that General Patraeus may be walking into a hornets nest of an ambush and would be a very tasty feast for the Taliban and all of our enemies in that regioun to rejoice in.
We had to fire bomb Japan to hell and then still had to nuke them to knock them to their senses and win that war and create a better country and class of people there.
If the "President" and "Commander in Chief" is not willing to provide the manpower and resources necessarry to overwhelm and subdue the enemy I think we will be left with two choices. Either retreat in shame or let the Air Force obtain JUSTICE and SECURITY.
This is sounding more and more like the Vietnam war if the Russian's could not win what makes our country think we can win?As far as the change of command something similar happened in Korea, but at least there was no question as to whether the change was done by a real President.
Until they get rid of embedded reporters and change the rules of engagement I doubt that we will ever be able to win this war. It is time we said to the whole world that we will not be tread upon any longer.
I want to know how this magazine got in to interview him to begin with.
Ive been on this from the start and if the American Legion thinks Obama was justified I will not renew my membership and seperate from this or any other organization! He did deserve a reprimand but NOT to be relieved!

LAFAYETTE, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis team suffered a setback on Thursday afternoon, falling by a 4-0 score to the Louisiana – Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns at Cajun Courts on the ULL campus.
The Islanders are now 4-6 on the year after the loss, while ULL improved to 3-2 on the year. The team has gone 29-1 in regular season and tournament play over the last four years in the Southland Conference, but are rebuilding after losing last year's top two players, Laurent Montoisy and James Langford.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi was also without the services of Matt Westmoreland, the reigning Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and one of the winningest players on the team. He was unable to play for the third singles match in a row due to injury, along with freshman Pietro Jordao missing the match due to injury as well.
"Give credit to Lafayette, they were the tougher team today," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I never believe injuries are an excuse, I expect the other guys to rise up and grind out wins. If you play the card of injuries, you develop a culture of softness. It's not about injuries; it's about rising up when it's your turn."
The two teams agreed to play singles first due to the threat of rain, with the match being stopped once either team clinched their fourth point.
Freshman Fernando Llorens fell in a 6-0, 6-1 final at No. 4 for the Cajuns first point of the match, while fellow freshman Peter Nagy lost a 6-1, 6-1 match at the No. 1 position. Gergo Weidinger suffered a 6-1, 6-0 setback at No. 3, while Alex Pavlov battled before falling 6-1, 7-5 at No. 6 singles to clinch the match.
The two teams agreed to play singles first due to the threat of rain, with the match being stopped once either team clinched their fourth point.
"This team is young and needs to get a little tougher, and that will be our focus this upcoming week," said Moore." That is what we must teach them as coaches. Again, give credit to Lafayette today, they played the better match."
Next up for the Islanders will be a doubleheader with the women's team on Sunday, Feb. 19, at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Both the men's and women's teams will play the Prairie View A&M Panthers in a match starting at 2 p.m. on the Islanders home court.

The Neosho softball team rebounded from an 8-1 loss at Joplin on Wednesday by hammering Branson 6-2 in a Central Ozark Conference game on Thursday.
The Lady Wildcats (4-7, 2-1 COC) benefited from a big inning on Thursday, scoring four runs in the top of the fifth inning en route to the win. Danielle Bingham had an RBI double to get the ball rolling for Neosho in the fifth. Bailey Spence followed her and laced an RBI single to left to blow it open, and the Lady Wildcats never looked back.
Bingham led Neosho's eight hit attack by going 2 for 3 with the double and RBI. Spence, Kylie Bach, Lindsay Vance, Grace Enlow and Cassie Dickens all had one hit each. Bach, Spence and Enlow each had an RBI while Enlow also added a double.
Neosho won the B game 13-4.
The script was flipped on Wednesday as Joplin used a four-run fifth to down Neosho.
The Lady Wildcats only mustered two hits in the game — one apiece by Spence and Belcher. Spence drove in Neosho's lone run in the top of the first inning and Belcher beat out an infield single in the sixth.
Ashlie Green had three hits, a double and two RBIs to lead the Lady Eagles, while Makenzie Goswick, Jessica Greninger and Kinsley Stewart finished with two hits apiece.
Joplin B defeated Neosho 1-0.
The Lady Wildcats entertain Webb City at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

interview with Santa Fe Independent 10/19/03
Santa Fe Independent out of Santa Fe New Mexico
Interview conducted by Pete Rivers Pulju
1 are there any groups/artists that have "carried the cross" in so far as what the hip hop ideals of the late '80s where during the 90s
"Hmmm. I don't know. A few are trying. I am not so sure any of them have been successful. Technological advancements have really fucked with the art, if that makes any sense."
2 could you list who the most important figures (good and bad) in hip hop of the late 80s/early 90s, mid 90s, and current are and why
"KRS One of course. Chuck D of course. The current most important figures are Jay Z and Eminem I guess because they seem to be having the most influence. They are the ones giving the general hiphop listenership a base from which to work off of. Its frustrating as all hell, but hey...that's why I operate outside of the confines of mainstream culture. I don't have to follow those guidelines in order to keep in touch with the mainstream listenership. They're gonna have to journey over to my side."
3 is hip hop progressing/peaked/regressing
"My inclination is to say that it is exactly the same but just on a larger scale than it was 10/15/20 years ago. But then I consider the magic year of 1988 and what made that time so great was the complete lack of awful groups. Almost every single person putting out records at that time ad great skill and something important to say. I would say we have definitely regressed since that time."
4 do you consider hip hop a sub genre of rock and roll
"Absolutely not."
5 is it important for artists to progress/be different
"It is important to find your own voice. It is important to operate outside of the tried and true formulaic box in order to make things fresh. You can still work inside the box as long as you poke outside of it every so often and do what is unique to yourself."
6 do you see any similarities between 1988 and 2003 as underground artists of this era are starting to have commercial success
"Yes, I still see pinoeers. I still see innovators. I see entrepreneurs. I see people finding their own niche and exploiting it. I see race relations being a major focus for a lot of people. I see materialism taking over content of character."
7 would you consider the recent two years to be a turning point in hip hop, if so who is responsible
"As a whole, no. There is no turning point. Some of the independent scene is getting more recognition but that hasn't changed anything just yet. In fact, from what I see of the indie scene, I don't see hiphop changing for the better even if they start having major influence. if anything it will change for the worse."
8 which is more relatable to Juice crew v. BDP- Murder inc v. G Unit, Anticon v. Def Jux or even D. Row v. Bad boy
"Pshhhhh. Hahahaha. Hmm. Wow. Out of the crews you have mentioned...it pains me to say this, but Anticon vs Def Jux is the best comparison. Because both crews are making headway in the underground scene, both have their figure heads (sole and El-P), both have skill and feed off of each other's energy and fan base, and both would really like to keep it on record. haha."
9 is music television important
"Yo MTV Raps was important in its heyday because it actually provided NEW and POIGNANT hiphop to households all over America. At this point, no...music TV is not important whatsoever. In fact, I would venture to say it is playing a huge role in the degragation of mankind due to the material that is being pimped to incredibly impressionable audiences."
10 are mainstream-punk rock and rap-indy hip hop accurate comparisons
"Hardly. If an indie rap group talked about the things mainstream punk rock did, they would be pelted with beer bottles. What a boring and horrible scene I would be a part of. Even worse than it is now. Mainstream punk rock is an abomination to the roots of its sound. Same with mainstream hiphop."

In stream-of-consciousness comedy, Robin Williams is a flash flood. When they're on stage together, David Steinberg opens just the right floodgates. It's either the easiest job in show business, or the toughest. As with all the greats, the audience can't tell the difference.
You can see for yourself when the two bring their show to the Vilar Performing Arts Center tonight. A few tickets are still available, but you'd better be as quick as their wit.
He ain't robbin' Robin
Steinberg is a comic genius in his own right, but mostly plays the straight guy in their Evening of Sit Down Comedy, loosely following the format of his Showtime series, "Inside Comedy."
"The audience is there to see him first, so I let him run," Steinberg said.
It's complete improv, and Steinberg spent years with Second City. Outlines are Williams' enemy and Steinberg never uses them anyway. The only restriction is that they don't cover the same ground twice.
"If we've done something, we never go that way again," Steinberg said. "It's rare thing to be able to do that."
They might talk about how Mork and Mindy shot Williams to stardom and how creator Garry Marshall told him, "It's not Shakespeare, but you'll be able to buy (stuff)."
Movies and TV shows they've directed or starred in are possible topics. Maybe Williams in "Awakenings" about neurologist Oliver Sacks' work with Tourette syndrome patients, to which Steinberg wisecracked: "I'm working with one tonight!"
Laughter's the best medicine
They've been friends for years and they've done this before, beginning with a couple segments of Steinberg's "Inside Comedy," where Steinberg matched Williams with his comedy hero Jonathan Winters. That's too much comedy to pack into one segment, so they let it run to two.
Fast forward several months and Williams was scheduled to do a show in Cleveland as a benefit for the hospital where he'd had open heart surgery. Williams had such a great time on his "Inside Comedy" gig that he asked Steinberg to do something similar in Cleveland. The catch, Williams said, was that they'd be doing it for free.
"The best heart clinic in the world and you're asking a Jew if he'd do this for nothing?" Steinberg said. "Of course I agreed to do it! I even got all the email addresses from all the doctors I might need along the way."
They took their show to the 92nd Street Y in New York City and some other stops along the way.
Williams said, "We have a month. Why don't we go hit a few cities?"
And that's the abridged version of how they landed in Beaver Creek.
"We're enjoying ourselves immensely," Steinberg said.
Love and hate mail
Steinberg had his own variety show and his "sermons" on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," helped get the show thrown off the air. He chuckles now when he describes a sermon from a Jewish comedian encouraging us to "Put the Christ back into Christmas and the Ch back into Chanukah."
"It was officially the most hate mail ever received on network television ever," Steinberg said proudly.
Not so long ago, Steinberg presented The Smothers Brothers their Freedom of Speech Award during the Aspen Comedy Festival.
"Inside Comedy" is one of his favorite projects, he said.
"It's an interesting process for comedians. They're not switched on as they would be in a show. It's more natural, less contrived," Steinberg said.
Steve Carell and he were looking to do something together and decided that between the two of them they knew most of the funny people on God's green earth.
Let's make a documentary, Carrel suggested.
They met with Warner Brothers to pitch the idea, figuring it was just a formality, that Warner Brothers wouldn't want it.
"I felt good that day and started spinning little tales. They said they wanted to do it," Steinberg said.
Carell was somewhere south of completely thrilled because it wasn't Plan A.
"Fortunately Warner Brothers offered us a deal that was so bad we were able to say no," Steinberg said.
Steinberg raised some money and spent a year interviewing some of the world's comic geniuses.
"What we couldn't get over was that everyone said yes," Steinberg said.
All the interviews were at least 40 minutes long and they were trying to figure out how to edit everything down to two or three minutes. Finally, they decided to give the comics room to run.
"At the time there was nothing like it on television," Steinberg said.
Since they'd raised the money, and he had some time, they decided to pitch an interview show. They took it to Showtime first.
"They called us while we were still in the parking garage after making the pitch," Steinberg said. "They said, 'Don't take this anywhere,' which is Showtime language for 'Don't take this to HBO,'" Steinberg said.

High efficiency in unit operations is a prequisite for achieving overall improvements in solid-dosage manufacturing. The authors examine recent advances in equipment design and operation in spraying, drying, and mixing to improve the tablet-coating process.
Improvements in solid-dosage manufacturingTo evaluate improvements in solid-dosage manufacturing, one must examine the advances in equipment design and operation in spraying, drying, and mixing to improve the overall tablet-coating process. Highlights of such advances are further described.
Tablet coating. Improvements to tablet-coating technologies are helping pharmaceutical manufacturers to achieve higher uniformity and waste reduction. These improvements are mostly due to mixing-system advances as well as pan and airflow configuration. Tablet coating consists of three main steps: spraying, drying, and mixing. Each step must be calibrated with the others to optimize the entire process.
Spraying. Spraying equipment includes the nozzle types, number and type of guns, and gun-to-gun spacing. Process parameters include spray rate, gun-to-tablet-bed distance and angle, atomization air pressure, and pattern air pressure. Spray-gun nozzles are key to efficient coating, and nozzles that create an oval spray pattern and a spray angle of 50° to 60° work best. The configuration of the spray boom will dictate the amount of spray-cone overlap. A slight overlap of the spray cones from each nozzle may be desirable for consistent coverage; however, too much overlap will lead to localized overwetting of the tablet bed. In most cases, the gun-to-bed distance will range from 6 in. to 10 in. although the actual distance depends on the force of the atomization air pressure and pattern air pressure on the coating-pan size.
Drying . Drying of the coating suspension takes place during the atomization and when spreading on the tablet surface. The temperature of the inlet air, volume flow and humidity of the inlet air, and the degree of pan perforation control drying. These parameters must be controlled in a way that prevents overwetting but does not cause spray-drying. The way the air moves through the coating pan also influences drying. Most coating pans draw air from the top of the pan and exhaust it to the side. Others place both the inlet and outlet at the pan's base. No matter where the inlet and outlet are, the goal is to handle the air in a way that minimizes turbulence and excessive heat in the spray zone. A balance must be struck between the temperature and volume of the inlet air and the spray rate.
Mixing. Mixing is a prerequisite for a homogeneous and uniform coating. Ideally, the pan's action will mix the tablets in a way that exposes each to the spray equally. Doing so depends on pan geometry and the use of baffles, spirals, lifting bars, or other components. Many common pans have a diameter that exceeds their length. This ratio can create a tablet bed too deep for effective mixing. It is not uncommon to find dead spots in the middle of these tablet beds. Such dead spots can cause overwetting and the formation of clumps or twins, which may damage the tablets.
To break up or prevent clumps and dead zones, some pans are fitted with a device called a baffle or shovel. The shovel is fixed within the coating pan, so as the pan turns, the tablets contact the shovel, steering them outward. Although the shovel insert may improve mixing, it can increase the risk of tablet breakage. An alternative approach is to use a pan whose length exceeds its diameter and that incorporates helical baffles for gentle tablet mixing. The longer pan creates a shallow tablet bed that is free of dead zones. The upper and lower helical baffles expose all the tablets to the spray equally. This configuration enables higher spray rates, which shortens the time required to coat tablets in each batch.

About the Book
"Don't Breathe a Word is a haunting page-turner that kept me up, spine shivering and enthralled, way past my bedtime."
—Joshilyn Jackson, author of Gods in Alabama and Backseat Saints
"Jennifer McMahon never flinches and never fails to surprise…as [she] weaves a young couple into a perverse fairyland where Rosemary's Baby could be at home."
—Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer's Daughters
Two young lovers find themselves ensnared in a seemingly supernatural web that ties them to a young girl's disappearance fifteen years earlier in this dark and twisty tale from the New York Times bestselling author of Island of Lost Girls and Promise Not to Tell. Jennifer NcMahon returns with a vengeance with Don't Breathe a Word—an absolutely chilling and ingenious combination of psychological thriller, literary suspense, and paranormal page-turner that will enthrall a wildly diverse audience including, among others, avid fans of Keith Donohue (The Stolen Child), Laura Lippman (I'd Know You Anywhere), and Tana French.(In the Woods).
On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn't fear the dark and doesn't have bad dreams—who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam's hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed—a promise that could destroy them all.

I have searched all around and either nobody is seeing this issue or I am not using the right search terms.
I am running the 420 build with JRE 6 update 14 (it happens with update 20 as well). I have installed PS3 MS and i have not installed avisynth or any codec packs. I stream to a WD TV Live box.
I would swear that some of the earlier 4xx build used to play .iso files fine, but something has changed and I can not isolate the issue (this may be something on my side too). I just wanted to report my findings.
I rip my DVDs to my hard drive using DVDFAB. This gives a video_ts folder with individual VOBs in them. Because I am an idiot and can not figure out how to get PS3 MS to play an entire video_ts folder, I sometimes use DVDShrink to produce .iso files.
Here are the two issues I am seeing and I apologize if they have been discussed before.
1) Navigating into a folder that has an audio_ts and video_ts folder shows the video_ts folder as [DVDISO]video_ts {movie name}
This happens only sometimes. I have not isolated what is causing it to happen. I have found that sometimes if i run the video_ts folder through fixVTS that subsequent entries into the parent folder show the video_ts folder correctly (and sometimes that does not fix it). Then you can enter the video_ts folder and play the individual .vob files.
The problem that occurs when PS3 MS thinks that the video_ts folder is an iso is that entering the iso shows only mencoder instead of the .vob files. When selecting the mencode entry, it acts like it is going to play the video but then after a few second of black screen it goes back to the menu.
2) Inability to play .iso files.
When selecting a .iso file from the menu, it opens up and one can see the Mencoder file and a #TRANSCODE# folder. Selecting any of the options in here causes the screen to go black like it is going to play the moie and then after several seconds it goes back to the menu (just like second part of above problem.
I am going to experiment with older version of the beta (I have used 400, 405, 409 and 410. I will see if the behavior tracks to a particular build.
I looked through the java log file but nothing jumped out at me.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Two gunmen who took 14 hostages at a Los Angeles mall last night have apparently escaped after an overnight standoff that involved the LAPD SWAT team locking down the mall and holding around 200 moviegoers in theaters until nearly 3 a.m. All 14 employees who were trapped in the Nordstrom Rack where the hostage situation unfolded have been found safe; KTLA reports that the LAPD is saying the suspects are still at large.
Details are still forthcoming, but the standoff seems to have begun inside the Nordstrom Rack at the Promenade at Howard Hughes Centerr, in Westchester, on Thursday night after two armed robbers entered the store. Freelance journalist Pamela Chelin, among the best sources of news during the events last night, writes that LAPD is now describing all 14 rescued Nordstrom employees as hostages, and that the police were called around 10 p.m., and the hostages were led into the bathroom around half an hour later:
LAScanner, a Twitter account following the LAPD police scanner, documented the deployment and arrival of LAPD and SWAT:
Since the mall was closed, the only civilians left in the complex were all seeing movies at the Rave theater one floor above the Nordstrom, and arriving officers quickly locked it down. Buzzfeed Entertainment's Richard Rushfield interviewed one of the trapped audience members:
Rumors are floating of bad injuries,
but nothing has been confirmed. Update: Chelin has spoken with LAPD Lieutenant Andy Neiman and confirmed that one victim was stabbed, sustaining a non-threatening wound, and one was sexually assaulted. According to the Los Angeles Times, the hostage was stabbed in the neck, and another was pistol-whipped. We'll update as we know more.

Location: Crop Improvement and Protection Research
Project Number: 2038-21530-001-12
Start Date: Sep 01, 2013
End Date: Aug 31, 2017
Approach 1: We will screen Lactuca germplasm for resistance to race 2 isolate Vdls17 in greenhouse and field experiments using previously collected accessions and newly collected accessions from the lettuce center of diversity. Accessions resistant to Vdls17 will be evaluated for resistance against a diversity of race 1 and race 2 isolates. Approach 2: We will use field and greenhouse experiments to determine if a spectroradiometer (visible and near infrared spectra) and thermal imaging can discriminate diseased and healthy plants. Approach 3: i) We will assess disease resistance and horticultural characters in field and greenhouse experiments in populations from multiple crosses. We already have populations from eight crosses to use in identifying resistance QTL. ii) In crosses that segregate for resistance, we will construct molecular marker linkage maps to use in QTL mapping. iii) We will identify SNP markers that are informative across the genepool and flanking the QTL that are independent of plant morphology for use in MAS. Approach 4: We will use a modified pedigree breeding approach to select for resistant breeding lines. Families will be planted in V. dahliae infested and non-infested field experiments. Resistance will be assessed in infested fields. In non-infested fields we will select plants with the superior horticultural characteristics from resistant families for seed production and testing in the next generation.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

The new Volvo FH series
The new Volvo FMX
The new Volvo FM
A well equipped and accommodating cabin is more than comfort – it's a competitive advantage. In the pursuit of the most skillful drivers, a comfortable cab is becoming increasingly valuable.
When a driver is able to relax and get a good night's sleep you can see it on the bottom line. There's greater effectivity, fewer injuries, less damage to trucks and more deliveries are on time.
"A rested driver makes fewer mistakes and quite simply costs less money," says Rikard Orell, design director at Volvo Trucks. What's more, a good cabin has space for both work and leisure. This has been the goal with the new Volvo FH.
Despite being inside the cab most of the time, truck drivers have to spend quite a bit of time outdoors. When loading and hitching, for example. Rainy days mean the driver gets wet. Then, starting the journey in dry clothes can save the day.
The drying cupboard is a textile sack with a fan at the bottom. When it's not in use you simply fold it up and put it away. This means it takes up hardly any space in the cabin," says Peter Johansson, responsible for ergonomics at Volvo Trucks.
The new bed is another improvement. It has a more comfortable mattress and it's wider where it's most needed: 4 centimetres at the head and 5.5 centimetres at the hips. The foot end, in contrast, has become 4 centimetres narrower to increase space for the driver's seat. "It might not sound much, just a few centimetres, but these are important centimetres. The bed feels much bigger in the new Volvo FH," says Peter Johansson.

How true... I wanna give him a high five into his (pig) face with a chair twice presented by Hulk when he gets angry. That's all xDD
Billieeeee! it came to my mind today, that you can do fuck fuck style after the song fuck time hahaha what do you think about it? i think it would be fucking awesome xDD
I liked Gangnam Style. Granted, it's nowhere NEAR my favorite song but I thought it was kinda catchy and fun to watch the parodies of it. Now, PSY himself? I don't like PSY. I think he's a dickhead, fuckface, cock-smoking, motherfucking asshole, dirty twat, waste of semen and I'll never even attempt to listen to that Gentlemen shit. He's grown an ego as big as Justin Beiber. But unlike Beiber, I've managed to like at least one song he's made.
Ha. xD Perfect. THANK YOU Billie Joe! This guy honestly does my freakin' head in.
His face ... XD
And his new song ''Gentleman'' is worse than ''Gangnan Style''... In my school we have to do acrosport, and my friends want to dance this song!!! SHIT!!
I like him :D :D xx
I fucking hate this guy, but also i think lady gaga katy perry etc.. are the herpes of music!!! i fucking hate them eeewwww >_<
Billie you are such a poet.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities and then teams up with them to build back stronger.
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Nepal earthquake, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Japan tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
Our seasoned emergency responders work through conflict in Gaza and are on the ground in Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic distributing critical supplies and protecting families uprooted by ongoing violence.
We're also working to support nearly 4 million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term refugee crisis and humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian crisis ▸

Kenya: Quick thoughts from our emergency team leader in Kenya
Our emergency response teams across the Horn of Africa — in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya — are working hard, long hours every day to assess needs and speed relief to hungry and struggling families. Often, our staff is traveling in remote areas, out of the range of any communications at all.
Ethiopia: New assessments in drought-parched regions of Ethiopia

Indonesia: Retooling Mentawai and helping it grow again
Indonesia's Mentawai Islands have a very hot and arid climate but, because of high rainfall and minimal pests, it is great for agriculture. When the tsunami hit last October, Mentawai residents ran from the waves with only the clothes on their backs. Most tools and crops were lost.

Manatee names utilities department director
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 5:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 5:58 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Mike Gore, this county's longtime solid waste division manager, was hired as Manatee's new utilities department director.
The Manatee County Commission must still approve the appointment that is being recommended by County Administrator Ed Hunzeker.
Gore would replace Dan Gray, who is retiring after 30 years with Manatee County.
"Mike's knowledge of our systems, his dedication, professionalism and most of all his outstanding leadership skills made him the stand-out candidate," Hunzeker said.
There were 100 applicants for the job.
Gore was hired by Manatee in 1984 as a part-time distribution tech assisting with water service installations and repairing broken water lines. He worked for 14 years with the utilities division.
In 1998, Gore became the Lena Road Landfill superintendent. He helped oversee upgrades at the county's sludge dryer that resulted in $300,000 in annual savings.
Gore also spearheaded a generator project at the landfill that will allow one of the county's wastewater plants to be run almost entirely from energy created at the landfill. There are expected savings of $650,000 per year.
"My entire career has been spent with Manatee County Utilities," Gore said. "Dan and I share great pride in being a part of all that has been accomplished."

Joey Logano won the pole Friday for NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, with championship contenders Brad Keselowski and Jimmie Johnson not far behind.
Keselowski will start third in Sunday's 400-mile race. He has a 20-point lead over five-time champion Johnson, who will start 10th.
Logano will be driving his final race for Joe Gibbs Racing. He will join Keselowski at Penske Racing next season.
Logano, who turned a lap of 176.056 mph at the 1.5-mile oval, was knocked out of Sunday's race in Phoenix when Jeff Gordon intentionally crashed into Clint Bowyer.
"I reached out for an apology and I didn't get one, and I got hung up on," Logano said. "But he (Gordon) did text me."
Said Gordon, "I'm not one that calls right away."
Also, Bowyer said "it'll be awhile" for him to get past his anger at Gordon.
Ai Miyazato shot an 8-under 64 and was a stroke ahead of Na Yeon Choi (68) at the LPGA Titleholders in Naples, Fla. Miyazato was at 10-under 134.

A scientist at the UC-Berkeley Seismological Laboratory posted a video showing the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning project issued an alert for the earthquake near Napa 10 seconds before it hit. The system said 'light shaking' could be expected, but the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.0 and was felt across the Bay Area and elsewhere in northern California.
The video, posted by lab director Richard Allen, included an explanation that said the demonstration system provided 10 seconds warning.
"The ShakeAlert system motivated the California State Legislature to pass an law in 2013 mandating that the state should complete the system to provide warning to the public. But funding for the system has not yet been found," according to the post accompanying the video.

Stay in sync with a changing SAP world
By User9159196-Oracle on Mar 08, 2013
Over the years, the SAP kernel changed a lot. Finally, the architecture of our SAP agents had reached its limits. It was clearly time for a rewrite of the SAP agent. To accommodate the changes in the SAP kernel, we created the new HA for NetWeaver agent. We also took this chance to support central instance and traditional HA deployments within this one agent. This integration reduces the resource complexity.
Most recently, the SAP kernel 7.20_EXT SAP introduced the ability to integrate HA frameworks. Of course, we did not miss the opportunity to integrate our new SAP NetWeaver agent with this functionality. So, with the new HA for NetWeaver agent, it is now possible to use the SAP command and the SAP Management console to manage SAP instances under cluster control, without having root access. This will improve the ease of use for SAP in an Oracle Solaris Cluster environment. We made these functionalities available on Oracle Solaris 11 software starting with Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0 SRU 4.
One of the larger cities in Europe made the change with their SAP system from Oracle Solaris 10 to Oracle Solaris 11 as soon as the HA for NetWeaver agent was available. They reduced their system administration costs because of the benefits of Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0. Information about this customer use case is available at:
We look forward to your feedback and inputs !

NEW YORK -- Sony is poised to unveil the next PlayStation game console on Feb. 20, a date that would give the Japanese electronics company a head start over Microsoft's expected announcement of an Xbox 360 successor in June.
Sony invited journalists to an evening press event in New York City. The company has not said what it plans to show off, but signs indicate that it'll be the PlayStation 4. Sony would only say that it "will deliver and speak about the future PlayStation business."
Such a console would follow Nintendo's Wii U, which launched last fall, and precede Microsoft Corp.'s next Xbox game console, which will likely be unveiled in June at the E3 video game conference in Los Angeles.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said it's a "super smart" move for Sony to pre-empt Microsoft. This way, the PlayStation 4 will get the spotlight without much competition.
The currently available PlayStation 3 went on sale in 2006, a year after the Xbox 360. But Xbox 360 has been more popular, largely because of its robust online service, Xbox Live, which allows people to play games with others online. The Wii is still the top seller among the three consoles, though it has lost momentum in recent years.
The Wii U was the first of the newest generation of video game consoles to launch, but sales so far have been disappointing. Nintendo's president, Satoru Iwata, acknowledged recently that the Wii U and the handheld Nintendo 3Ds didn't do well over the holidays, but he ruled out a price cut for the new console.
All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that go beyond games as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablet computers. Such hubs can deliver TV shows, movies and music. The Wii U has a TV-watching feature called TVii.

ALARM PRESS lists Definition Sickness as a 2013 favorite
ALARM PRESS lists "Definition Sickness" as one of the 51 favorite albums of 2013:
"No Bird Sing is the brainchild of rapper Joe Horton, guitarist Robert Mulrennan, and drummer Graham OBrien. Going from a live-band aesthetic to a more production-heavy recorded model has the potential to alienate fans, but No Bird Sings Definition Sickness is a dark pleasure. With a voice that recalls a more disillusioned Aesop Rock (if such a thing is possible), Horton raps over droning guitar and organic beats the traditional instrumentation not competing with electronic production but rising to the top.
The album will evoke different things in different listeners. You may hear heaviness, drone, ambient techno, or modern indie rock, all lovingly filtered through the lens of hip hop. Theres no telling which interpretation is correct, but the end result is a nice fourth-quarter surprise, one of the best rap albums of the year."

1. Writing
- Read source material and write all my notes down in a notebook, together with page numbers and other reference information.
- Think up an outline. Add the outline to my schedule.
- Go through my notes and write more detail about each point, either going chronologically or skipping around to points that fit into my flow. This step might have been easier if I had written my notes on index cards instead of a ring-bound notebook, but oh well. Anyway, repeat until all of my notes have been included or dropped.
- Edit.
Yes, yes, perfectly obvious to everyone. =)
I also bonked myself over the head for missing another obvious thing. For my reading paper, I should start by looking up all those classic papers on keywords for classification (there should be a few!). If I could find a paper or two that talked about user interface differences that make it easier to assign keywords, that would be great. The key thing that I need to explain in my paper is why the social aspect is so very interesting, and what that enables: browsing, searching, mapping... =) What's old is new again, after all. I think the Internet's radically transformed keywords, though, making the social dimension non-negligible...

Should We Be Proud Of The British Empire?
Posted 12 May 2007 - 03:03 PM
What do you lot think?
Posted 13 May 2007 - 02:12 PM
Posted 14 May 2007 - 01:54 PM
Posted 15 May 2007 - 08:52 PM
i think there are definately things we should be proud of. The British Empire at is peak was amazing, especially considering what a small island we are!!!
I understand that people feel ashamed of the mistakes and mistreatment. In fact, you could question whether it was right for us to rule over people living in a completely different country? Regarding issues such as slavery..i think that is more difficult. Yes, it was wrong- nobody questions that. But, our judgements have changed and its totally fair to deduce that we should be ashamed of our past simply because of black marks on the record. when historians study us in the future who knows, there may be things that are so clearly unjust and wrong that we dont have the ability to see because of public opinion. with slavery, we should also look at the role of other countries, britain did not act alone and we also played a role in abolishing it.
So..you can probably guess I have mixed feelings on the topic. But i'd definately say that we should be proud and as long as we recognise the faults as well.
Slightly off topic, but do you think we gained the industrial lead due to ingenuity and skill and as was believed 'the natural superiority of the british people'...OR was it just chance?
Posted 05 June 2007 - 08:04 PM
I don't know, the 'British Empire' is such a wide topic. It shows that he have particpated and made an impact on our history. It shows that we are prominant and also that we have the ability to produce good leaders, skilled military and that we can organise ourselves in order to produce something. Plus, it has shaped our history and it is our heritage, and world history too.
But..was it really worth it? I am against wars, I think it makes me sad. Although I see why we went to war, and went out conquering especially in WW2 etc, but it always just results in oppression of a different kind, along with death and destruction. I mean many of the countries in our empire wouln't have been too chuffed about us ruling them, especially with the whole
slavery and violating human rights
But, it did introduce new trade links and new alliances for us that we still use today, and perhaps new allies aswell.
Oh dear, you've confused me now. Might go lie down in a darkened room

Is our military prowess really something that should be praised when its used for murder and petty theft? Or are the trade links we created a good thing when they were used for the transport of slaves? At the heart of the empire there existed a doctorin of racism and a thirst of power. Its a disgraceful period in our history and not something we should look back on with any kind of pride.

Posted 08 August 2007 - 10:33 AM
In the context of the time there are some elements of the British Empire we should be proud of, but we still need to look at the results of Western European whites telling other individuals what is best for them. The British Empire goes against the 18th Century concept of free will and 'rights' I see the major benefit of the Empire is that people now see the concept of an Empire as something inherently wrong, but once again there are circumstances when an outside body should intervene in the affairs of Nations. Clearly coming from a Liberal Democratic society, the imposition of Liberal democracy can only be seen as beneficial, thus we need to cosider out judgement criteria carefully.
I would argue that we need to examine specific cases and circumstances to enable us to answer this question, even then we can only hope to come up with an interpretation that favours our Western Liberal democratic viewpoint.

In addition, we also made a big difference in terms of equality. For example, The British Military was the first military recorded to allow non-native people to serve on equal terms with natives. Romans are well known for their locally recuited auxillia, but the auxillia recieved a fraction of regular roman troops pay and benifits. The the British military, people from London could serve with people from Singapore (indeed still can) on equal terms.

Basically i'm a bit old-fashioned in some terms as you may say that i do not appreciate moral issues and you are exactly correct.
In my opinion, the British Empire was right in one way. It reaped its conquest. Unlike Hannibal who's famous quote about him not being able to use the victory is the exact opposite of the British Empire. They took slaves and therefore destroyed any chances of rebellion by suppressing the growth of a race.
The Mongols were even more ruthless and got the largest empire in history, although they did have other reasons (only against the Chinese and Tartars[Russians]).
So in my opinion, if slavery grants you a victory that can lead to more, than it should be exploited, no matter the moral issues. Not for the sake of laziness so people can get others to do what they want but to lead to an empire and a chain of victories, that in my opinion is key. Unfortunately we can't do this these days since the invention of atomic fissure and fusion.

'Skyfall,' 'Lincoln' (Review Revue)
This week at the multiplex, James Bond is back with "Skyfall" starring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, and Judi Dench. Steven Spielberg's hotly anticipated biopic "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe, opens in limited release. Find out what the critics have to say on Rotten Tomatoes.
Director Sam Mendes is best known for his portrayals of suburban malaise (his credits include "American Beauty" and "Revolutionary Road"), so at first blush he'd seem to be an odd choice to direct a James Bond movie. However, critics say "Skyfall" is a nearly perfect balance of drama and action that winks at 007′s storied cinematic past while delving deeper into the psyche of the most iconic of movie characters. Once again, Daniel Craig stars as 007, and this time the whole of MI6 is under attack. "Skyfall" is Certified Fresh at 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer; here are some of the reviews:
Fresh: "This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he previously played unconvincingly." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh: "This is a brilliant reboot of the canon, mixing a sense of melancholy, the shock of changing times and the darkness of loss with thrillingly staged chase and fight scenes and clever references to all that has come before." — Charlie McCollum, San Jose Mercury News
Fresh: "'Skyfall' is the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films and surpasses just about every Bond film made in the past 43 years. Not only is this a great Bond movie, it's a great film." — Justin Craig, FoxNews.com
Rotten: "Mendes and [Cinematographer Roger] Deakins are so busy trying to be visionary that they don't notice that characters are wandering too far from their roots, and half the time you can't see what's going on." — Kyle Smith, New York Post
Abraham Lincoln's greatness as a president is never questioned these days, though his iconic image (the beard, the top hat, the gaunt frame) is so ubiquitous as a patriotic symbol that it can sometimes obscure his words and deeds. Critics say Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a terrific corrective, thanks in large part to Daniel Day-Lewis' towering performance as the Great Emancipator. "Lincoln" follows the 16th president's political maneuverings during the dark days of the Civil War as he attempts to preserve the Union and abolish slavery. "Lincoln" is Certified Fresh at 94 percent; check out some of the reviews here:
Fresh: "An absorbing, densely packed, sometimes funny telling of the 16th president's masterful effort in manipulating the passage of the 13th amendment." — Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh: "By the time the movie ends, you don't feel as if you know Lincoln — few, in his own time, claimed to know him. But you feel as if you know what it was like to be in his presence." — David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Fresh: "A stirring portrait of Abraham Lincoln but, perhaps more importantly, a quietly compelling look into the nitty-gritty process of democratic government." — Tim Grierson, Screen International
Rotten: "In all, there's too much material, too little revelation and almost nothing of Spielberg's reliable cinematic flair." — Rex Reed, New York Observer

LETTER: Complacency led to 'anything goes'
Published: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.

Dear Editor: This letter s in response to Mr. Will Montgomery's letter published on Aug. 25. Thank you for your Christian stand against so called "gay marriage."
Too many Christians sit back in their own world and never take a stand for Biblical teachings. That is the reason our world has gotten to the point that "anything goes" as long as we do not hurt anyone's feelings. We don't want to upset the apple cart.
The Bible teaches against many, many sins. The sin of homosexuality is one of these evil sins. When God made man and woman, He revealed His plan for marriage. God didn't create a man for Adam to marry and to have as his helpmate. Instead, He deliberately created Eve, a woman, from the side of Adam, to be his wife. It was then and it still is today God's plan for a man and a woman to marry and form a family.
Please take a stand, Christians, for what God's word teaches.
