CHAMBERSBURG (AP) — A 16-year-old boy allegedly stole a car and a gun and then fired once at a state trooper who stopped him on a Pennsylvania interstate Sunday morning, state police said.
Sean Patrick Sellers, of Mifflinburg, is being charged as an adult after police said he fired once at Trooper Michael Quinn around 7 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 81 near Chambersburg, about 50 miles southwest of Harrisburg. The trooper fired back, but neither man was injured.
Sellers was waiting to be arraigned Sunday night.
Sellers allegedly stole the .22-caliber pistol and Chevy Impala from a home in Mifflinburg on Sunday morning, state police said, before he was stopped about 100 miles away on the southbound side of I-81 for failure to drive within a single lane. Sellers allegedly fired once at Quinn, police said, before the trooper returned fire after ducking for cover behind his vehicle. Sellers then surrendered to Quinn and other troopers.
The teen faces charges including criminal attempted homicide of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and theft charges.

HTC One Max review
Bigger, but not better, than its flagship predecessor
Product HTC One Max
Website http://www.htc.com/uk/
Specifications 5.9in Super LCD 1080x1920 resolution touchscreen, quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB or 32GB internal storage expandable via microSD card, 4MP Ultrapixel rear-facing and 2.1MP front-facing cameras, GSM/EDGE/HSPA+/HSDPA, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, microUSB port, headphone jack, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean mobile operating system, HTC Sense 5.5, fingerprint sensor, 165x83x10.3mm, 219g
Price £49 upfront plus £47 per month from Vodafone; SIM-free pricing to be announced
ALREADY HAVING REDESIGNED the HTC One for those who like pint-sized smartphones with the HTC One Mini, HTC has now made its first foray into the 'phablet' market with the 5.9in HTC One Max smartphone.
Not only is it bigger, HTC is also touting the HTC One Max as better, improving on the original HTC One with its fingerprint scanner - which HTC has rather oddly placed on the rear of the phone - its microSD slot and its bigger battery pack.
There is no denying that the HTC One Max is a huge smartphone. Of course, with a 5.9in screen the device is going to be big - but it's also quite a chunky device by today's standards, measuring 165x83x10.3mm and weighing 219g. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 measures 151x79x8.3mm and tips the scales at 168g.
This means that the HTC One Max is not ideal for those with small hands, and we found our wrists starting to ache while using the device for prolonged periods of time. We also tried fitting the device into a pocket, and perhaps unsurprisingly it was a very tight squeeze.
While in our opinion the HTC One Max is too large and weighty, we do like the way the handset looks, perhaps apart from when we have the handset held up to our face. The device echoes the design of the HTC One and HTC One Mini smartphones, with the HTC One Max clad in the same high-end aluminium casing.
Unlike on its predecessors, the back of the HTC One Max can be removed using a switch on the left-hand side of the phone. This is good news for those who like to have access to their phone's battery, and those who would want to expand on the handset's 16GB or 32GB storage, although it also caused some issues during our weekend with the handset. We often struggled to get the backplate securely back onto the phone after removing it, although HTC told us that this is an issue isolated to pre-release models.
Like the HTC One Mini, the HTC One Max features a plastic band around its edges, which as we said in our review of the pint-sized smartphone detracts from the handset's high-end look.
Beyond its built-in fingerprint sensor, perhaps the HTC One Max's most notable feature its its 5.9in HD 1080p Super LCD touchscreen display.
Thanks to its Super LCD technology and its 1080x1920 resolution at 373ppi, the display is, despite its size, just as impressive as that of the flagship HTC One. Although the pixel density doesn't quite match, colours are vibrant and blacks are deep on the HTC One Max, and the 5.9in real estate makes for a pleasant browsing and gaming experience. It's also great for things like Netflix, making our iPhone 5C look petite in comparison.
Of course, given the size of the screen, it's almost impossible to operate one handed, but for those after a giant smartphone for watching films and playing games, the compromise is probably worth it.
Next: Performance, fingerprint sensor.

To Drink, or Not to Drink? That is the Question
By Heather Millar
I know a woman from a support group has not touched a drop of alcohol since her diagnosis with breast cancer several years ago. I also know survivors who regularly have wine with dinner. I am one of the latter group.
I have lots of reasons that I continue to imbibe: One, I like wine. My parents grew up in Napa, and used to be in the wine business; you could say my taste for fermented grapes is "bred in the bone." Two, I drink moderately and not to excess: a couple glasses, maybe a little more at a party. Three, I don't want to live the rest of my life in constant fear that this bogeyman or that bogeyman will increase my risk of a recurrence. I want to live, and that means doing things I enjoy: wine and food are one of life's great pleasures in my book.
So I noted with interest when late last week, a new study came out in the Americal Journal of Public Health that backs up many previous studies showing that there is a link between alcohol consumption and cancer. In this case, the study shows that alcohol may be linked to about 3 percent of cancer deaths. Or, as a WebMD news story about the study put it: approximately 1 in 30 cancer deaths may be linked to drinking.
That's not nothing. But it's nowhere near as overwhelming as the research that shows smoking cigarettes causes cancer. The American Cancer Society reports that 87 percent of lung cancers are linked to smoking. A 2009 study showed that 70 percent of the cancer death burden in Massachusetts could be linked to smoking, though most estimates put that figure at around 30 percent—that smaller figure is ten times larger than the number of death linked to alcohol in last week's study.
Certainly, people should know that alcohol consumption comes with risks, but they are not as huge as the risks that come with smoking. I don't think we've yet proved that there's a straight line from drinking wine with dinner to an agonizing cancer metastasis and death.
Absolutely, there are reasons for concern: Drinking can cause weight gain, and being overweight increases the risk of cancer. Alcohol seems to increase estrogen, which is a trigger for estrogen-reactive breast cancers (as mine was, by the way). Also, when our bodies get a hold of alcohol, various organs metabolize that booze into bad things like formaldehyde (a known carcinogen) and "oxygen-reactive species" (a fancy name for variations on oxygen that are more prone to react with other molecules; these are the "free radicals" you hear so much about on supplement labels and so on). But it gets murky when you consider that other studies show that moderate alcohol use may reduce your risk of heart disease.
The question that every patient is probably asking is: How many of these alcohol-related chemical reactions does it take to kick-start a cancer tumor? How much is too much? What do I do in my day-to-day life?
For some people—those with heart failure, a history of stroke, diabetes, those who take certain medications—drinking can be dangerous. But for the rest of us, I'm afraid scientists still don't have definite answers. There's some kind of link, and for that reason, the American Cancer Society recommends that men limit alcoholic drinks to two a day, and women to one.
But we haven't really figured out exactly how much it too much.
The major reason is that it's devilishly difficult to do this kind of research. For ethical reasons, you can't divide patients into two groups, ask one group to binge drink, ask the other to abstain, and then wait to see who dies of cancer.
So alcohol research studies tend to fall into two categories: First, epidemiological analysis of population and mortality databases to try to draw a "big picture" understanding of the relationship between cancer and alcohol. The most recent study falls into this category. But because of the nature of the data—which is usually pulled from giant databases—lots of little questions go unanswered in these studies: For instance, did the people who got cancer binge drink? Did they start drinking young? Did they continue drinking after they got cancer? That kind of fine detail gets lost in the effort to construct a broad picture that can inform public policy.
The second kind of study follows a group of people for a long time, monitoring their habits and health and then seeing what happens to them. This kind of study does get at the fine details of people's lives, but the data is what scientists call "observational." That is, researchers "observe" that this percentage of subjects drink, and of those, this percentage end up getting cancer. So in those studies, you can conclude that there's a link, but these studies don't prove that the alcohol caused the cancers.
So what do patients do in the meantime? I think we have to proceed with caution, and make up our own minds. If even a small increased risk of cancer death is enough for you to avoid all alcohol, then do that. If, like me, you really enjoy wine and the occasional cocktail, then enjoy those things in moderation. In life, as in research, absolute answers are the rarest of things.

Thursday, December 5, 2013
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Georgia Tech fifth-year senior running back Robert Godhigh has been named the recipient of the Atlantic Coast Conference's 2013. Brian Piccolo Award, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced Thursday.
The Piccolo Award has been given annually since 1970 in memory of the late Brian Piccolo to the "most courageous" football player in the ACC. Piccolo was the ACC Athlete of the Year in 1965 and played for the Chicago Bears before his career was cut short when he was stricken with cancer. His courageous fight against that disease was an inspiration to the Bears and the entire football community
The 2013 Piccolo Award will be presented at the ACC's Night of Legends event which will be held Friday (6 p.m.) at the Charlotte Convention Center as part of the festivities held around the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game.
Godhigh overcame three surgeries during the 2013 calendar year to become a major contributor to a Georgia Tech squad that posted a 7-5 overall record, finished second in the ACC Coastal Division and earn bowl game eligibility for the 17th straight year.
The 5-foot-7, 190-pound Godhigh underwent two shoulder surgeries and had an operation on his hand this year. Despite playing the first five games of the season in a cast, the Acworth, Ga., native ranks 10th among ACC rushers with 644 yards, his 420 receiving yards rank first on Georgia Tech's team. Godhigh has averaged 10.1 yards per carry and 20 yards per reception, and his 9.1 yards per carry for his career is the second-best in ACC history.

When I went online to their web portal https://fms.publicpartnerships.com/PPLPortal/login.aspx and logged in, I found that this company had issued three (3) checks to me. I do not know who received the other two (2) checks, because I only received one. I also was shocked to uncover another "small detail." When I clicked on the check number, the supposed gross pay minus the deductions never yielded the net pay public partnerships "claimmed" I received. Even if the local tax withhoding was included in the deductions, an "additional" thirteen (13) cents per seventeen (17) hours was withheld. This raises a couple of issues.
First, why the additional $.13 per seventeen hours? But perhaps more important, where did the money go?
Second, will Public Partnerships, LLC file and remit to the Commonwealth of PA the quarterly employer withholdings on behalf on the participants? Or, will the participants receive notices from the Commonwealth stating that the employer quarterly (W3) form was not filed and monies were not remitted even though monies were withheld from the employees by Public Partnerships, LLC on behalf of the participants? Remember, employers (participants) have both a FEIN (federal employer identification number), this should be nine (9) digits and a state tax ID number. This number should be eight (8) digits, and is located in box 15 of your W2 (s).
Public Partnerships, LLC has taken on a large number of clients in a very short period of time -- sound familiar? Now, a suggestion to avoid the latter problem with monies being withheld correctly and remitted to the correct taxing agency. This suggestion could even potentially eliminate pay issues.

Future of Hydrogen Fuel Flows Through New NIST Test Facility
If hydrogen is ever to play a significant role as a clean, everyday energy source, it will need a safe and reliable distribution system. To pave the way for a hydrogen fuel infrastructure, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder Labs recently launched the largest hydrogen test facility in the United States for evaluating how component parts of such an infrastructure will react to exposure to this potentially corrosive gas in order to develop needed data and standards.
Because hydrogen can penetrate and embrittle some metals and alloys, developing standards for using existing pipelines, storage tanks, pumps and delivery systems is an essential first step before the elemental gas can be considered as a viable fuel for widespread use.
Tom Siewert leads a group of researchers at this NIST test facility that will be testing these component parts—pipes, valves, fittings and pumps, among other pieces—for their suitability in transporting and delivering hydrogen.
The facility is state-of-the-art and contains one of the largest (at 10 centimeters) internal diameter test chambers in the country. In it are placed standard test specimens of component materials – chunks of pipeline, a piece of a valve – and exposed to pressurized hydrogen to measure how it reacts to such an environment and that kind of chemical exposure. With such test data in hand, standards for building a safe, reliable and robust hydrogen fuel system can be developed for future storage, delivery and dispensing.
"You put in specimens to gather the property data, and when it's pressurized, a shaft goes into the chamber that puts stresses on the specimen to simulate the strains that occur in everyday use," says Siewert, who helped plan the facility. "Structural designers would then put the data we get from these specimens into their models to understand how a structural component would respond to that hydrogen under those conditions."
The test facility is also replete with state-of-the-art safety features including the ability to run every phase of testing from a remote control center, multiple sensors that automatically shut down the entire system and vent the test building at even the slightest scent of hydrogen gas (1 percent concentration), a massive venting system that is double what code requires, and a lightning detection system that will automatically shut the facility down if a strike occurs within 10 kilometers.
"The quantity of hydrogen in the equipment is low enough that even if all the hydrogen suddenly leaked into the building, it wouldn't be enough to cause an explosion," said Andy Slifka, a materials research engineer and project leader.
The design of the hydrogen test facility won the RMH Group—a Denver-based mechanical, electrical and industrial process consulting engineering firm—a Gold Hardhat award in 2009 from McGraw-Hill Construction. The award honors the building teams that created the best projects of 2009 as selected by juries of local prominent industry professionals.

JILA Scientists Demonstrate First Controlled Chemical Reactions of Ultracold Molecules
Physicists at JILA have for the first time observed chemical reactions near absolute zero, demonstrating that chemistry is possible at ultralow temperatures and that reaction rates can be controlled using quantum mechanics, the peculiar rules of submicroscopic physics. The new results and techniques, described in the Feb. 12 issue of Science,* will help scientists understand previously unknown aspects of how molecules interact, knowledge of fundamental importance to virtually every one of the physical sciences and engineering.
JILA is a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder. A NIST theorist at the Joint Quantum Institute, a collaborative venture of NIST and the University of Maryland, also contributed to the research.
Ultracold molecules are a hot research area because they may offer more diverse insights and applications than ultracold atoms, which scientists have deftly manipulated for more than 20 years. Scientists have long known how to control the internal states of molecules, such as their rotational and vibrational energy levels. In addition, the field of quantum chemistry has existed for decades to study the effects of the quantum behavior of electrons and nuclei—constituents of molecules. But until now scientists have been unable to observe direct consequences of quantum mechanical motions of whole molecules on the chemical reaction process. Creating simple molecules and chilling them almost to a standstill makes this possible by presenting a simpler and more placid environment that can reveal subtle, previously unobserved chemical phenomena.
In conventional chemistry at room temperature, molecules may collide and react to form different compounds, releasing heat. In JILA's ultracold experiments, quantum mechanics reigns and the molecules spread out as ethereal rippling waves instead of acting as barbell-like solid particles. They do not collide in the conventional sense. Rather, as their quantum mechanical wave properties overlap, the molecules sense each other from as much as 100 times farther apart than would be expected under ordinary conditions. At this distance the molecules either scatter from one another or, if quantum conditions are right, swap atoms. Scientists expect to be able to control long-range interactions by creating molecules with specific internal states and "tuning" their reaction energies with electric and magnetic fields.
The JILA team produced a highly dense gas of molecules consisting of one potassium atom and one rubidium atom at temperatures of a few hundred billionths of a Kelvin (nanokelvins) above absolute zero (minus 273 degrees Celsius or minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit). They found that, although molecules move slowly at ultralow temperatures, reactions can occur very quickly. However, reactions can be suppressed using quantum mechanics. For instance, a cloud of molecules in the lowest-energy electronic, vibrational and rotational states reacts differently if the nuclear spins of some molecules are flipped. If a cloud of molecules is divided 50/50 into two different nuclear spin states, reactions proceed 10 to 100 times faster than if all molecules possess the same spin state. Thus, by purifying the gas (by preparing all molecules in the same spin state), scientists can deliberately suppress reactions.
"We are observing a new fundamental aspect of chemistry—it gives us a new 'knob' to understand and control reactions," says NIST physicist Jun Ye, one of the lead researchers on the project.

NIST's Second 'Quantum Logic Clock' is Now World's Most Precise Clock
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most precise clock, more than twice as precise as the previous pacesetter based on a mercury atom. The new aluminum clock would neither gain nor lose a second in about 3.7 billion years, according to measurements to be reported in a forthcoming issue of Physical Review Letters.*
The new clock is the second version of NIST's "quantum logic clock," so called because it borrows the logical processing used for atoms storing data in experimental quantum computing, another major focus of the same NIST research group. The second version of the logic clock offers more than twice the precision of the original. In addition to demonstrating that aluminum is now a better timekeeper than mercury, the latest results confirm that optical clocks are widening their lead—in some respects—over the NIST-F1 cesium fountain clock, the U.S. civilian time standard, which currently keeps time to within 1 second in about 100 million years.
Because the international definition of the second (in the International System of Units, or SI) is based on the cesium atom, cesium remains the "ruler" for official timekeeping, so technically no clock can be more accurate than cesium-based standards such as NIST-F1.
The logic clock is based on a single aluminum ion trapped by electric fields and vibrating at ultraviolet light frequencies, which are 100,000 times higher than microwave frequencies used in NIST-F1 and other similar time standards around the world. Optical clocks thus divide time into smaller units, and could someday lead to time standards more than 100 times as accurate as today's microwave standards. Higher frequency is one of a variety of factors that enables improved precision and accuracy.
Aluminum is one contender for a future time standard to be selected by the international community. NIST scientists are working on five different types of experimental optical clocks, each based on different atoms and offering its own advantages. NIST's construction of a second, independent version of the logic clock proves it can be replicated, making it one of the first optical clocks to achieve that distinction. Any future time standard will need to be reproduced in many laboratories.
Clocks have myriad applications. The extreme precision offered by optical clocks is already providing record measurements of possible changes in the fundamental "constants" of nature, a line of inquiry that has important implications for cosmology and tests of the laws of physics, such as Einstein's theories of special and general relativity. Next-generation clocks might lead to new types of gravity sensors for exploring underground natural resources and fundamental studies of the Earth. Other possible applications may include ultra-precise autonomous navigation, such as landing planes by GPS.

International Biometrics Conference to Meet at NIST March 2-4
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is co-sponsoring an international conference on biometric performance March 2-4 at NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md. Related workshops will be held March 1 and March 5.
The "International Biometric Performance Conference (IBPC): Performance, Evaluation and Specification of Biometric Technologies" will bring together biometric users, technology providers, integrators and evaluators. The conference aims to identify how the accumulated experience of the past decade (research, evaluation, deployment, outcomes) can be leveraged to direct future biometrics-based research and applications. The conference will address the required properties of core algorithms used to determine if two sets of biometric data, such as fingerprints or voice prints, belong to the same individual. Another goal is to identify novel evaluation methodologies and recent trends in testing and determine what performance criteria are most relevant in the context of the contemporary and emerging marketplaces.
Three separate workshops will be held in conjunction with the conference. They will address fingerprint image quality, biometric template protection testing, and fingerprint feature conformance.
The IBPC 2010 conference is co-sponsored by NIST, the National Physical Laboratory (UK) and Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (Germany). Registration deadline is Feb. 24.
For more information on the conference, see the conference program at http://biometrics.nist.gov/ibpc2010/program.pdf. To register, go to https://www.fbcconferences.com/nist_biometrics/atreg1.aspx. Press interested in attending should contact Evelyn Brown at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NIST Issues Expanded Draft of Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued the second draft of its Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy and Requirements, which now identifies more than 120 interfaces that will link diverse devices, systems and organizations engaged in two-way flows of electricity and information and classifies these connections according to the level of damage that could result from a security breach.
Prepared by the NIST-led Cyber Security Working Group, the new draft report expands upon an earlier preliminary version, which was released last September and underwent 60 days of public review. It incorporates responses to the more than 350 individual comments received.
The updated draft also includes new or more detailed technical inputs stemming from the working group's continuing assessment of what will be required to ensure the security and reliability of the entire modernized power system and protect the integrity and confidentiality of information exchanged during energy-related transactions on the Smart Grid.
The 300-page second draft of the Smart Grid cyber security document also will undergo public review, ending on April 2, 2010. After reviewing the comments received and completing ongoing analyses of requirements and relevant standards, the working group will finalize the Smart Grid cyber security strategy. NIST expects to issue a completed report by early summer.
Compared with the initial version, the draft cyber security report issued today contains significantly expanded sections on privacy, vulnerability categories, analyses of the potential security issues, and the overall approach to achieving Smart Grid cyber security. The 120 interfaces identified in the report pertain to high-priority Smart Grid applications, including electric transportation, electric storage, advanced metering infrastructure, distribution grid management, energy management in homes and businesses and grid management.
Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy and Requirements (Draft NISTIR 7628) is a companion document to the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0 (NIST SP 1108), which NIST issued on Jan. 19, 2010. The framework and roadmap report describes a high-level conceptual reference model for the Smart Grid, identifies 75 existing standards that are applicable (or likely to be applicable) to the ongoing development of an interoperable Smart Grid, and specifies a set of high-priority standards-related gaps and issues (in addition to cyber security).
Continuing work by the cyber security working group is carried out cooperatively under the umbrella of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP). NIST launched the panel in mid-November as a collaborative means for private and public sector stakeholders to provide input to the process. For more information, see the NIST Feb. 3 release "NIST Issues Expanded Draft of Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy For Public Review and Comment." [www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/smartgrid_020310.html] To download the second draft, go to www.nist.gov/smartgrid/.

MEP to Support New Building-Efficiency Research Center
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) will be supporting the creation of a regional research center that will develop new energy-efficiency technologies for buildings. MEP is taking part in an interagency initiative to establish an Energy Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC). The new regional center, announced by the Obama Administration last week, will receive up to $129.7 million in support from seven federal agencies over the next five years.
The E-RIC will be established in a U.S. region to be selected through a competitive process. The center will be based at a university, Department of Energy laboratory or private firm, and will work with local partners to develop and implement energy-efficiency building technologies in area buildings. Upon creation of the E-RIC, MEP will make available up to $500,000 for a one-year award, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years, to support the services of an existing regional MEP Center that would assist the E-RIC.
For more information on the E-RIC effort, see the Department of Energy's Feb. 12 news release, "Obama Administration Launches $130 Million Building Energy Efficiency Effort."

I looked around the hall at the multitude of staff and mentioned that it keeps a lot of people in employment but she obviously thought it was all very necessary and essential.

While some brands like HTC set worse profits others such as Samsung increase their. This shows that at the moment there are two main players in the segment – Apple and Samsung and they will do their best to keep the good positions.
In order to do so, Apple develops a TV which will be called iPanel and it is expected to be released in the 4Q of 2012. The device will be innovative, from Apple claim and should put them in leading position in this new segment too.
It will come with the same processor that has been installed in iPhone, iPad, iPod and will work under iOS. The price is predicted to be around $1 200.
However, the information is still not official but the rumours are becoming stronger and strong with every day, so there may be something true about them. What the characteristics and the design of iPanel will be we will see in several months.

what would make sub better then the other specs with all having shadowstep now?
what would make sub better then the other specs with all having shadowstep now?
All specs seem equally bad at the moment. The general rotational damage is just too low and tuned too passively to be of any use. If you're used to running some kinda comp in which you're just there to randomly stun, slow, and cc, and not do any real damage, either spec should do. Excluding that, our PVP situation seems very bleak.
- Sub has too many finishers to juggle
- Assa's energy generation is horrible
- Combat's ramp up is endless, and damage outside of cooldowns is abysmal
Combat has some decent energy generation and some good burst with Killing Spree. But Killing Spree is still as unreliable as ever, especially against pet classes, and you'll still be screwed if you're out of cooldowns.
So... Pick your poison, I suppose.
Subtlety seems to still be the best PVP spec due to the burst from Shadow Dance and that Energy Recovery is a lot more reliable in PVP than VW or Combat ones (even with passive regeneration).
However, outside Shadow Dance and Find Weakness, you will do nothing damage-wise. I just saw a clip of Ecliptium (one of the few top rogues still playing rogue) doing a total of 250k damage in a 4 minutes long 2v2 against Frost Mage and Shadow Priest.
Shadow Walk : Significantly increases Stealth effectiveness for 6 sec, but causes Stealth to be nerfed to justify its usage. In addition, it uses old Enveloping Shadows icon and has no sound, animation or spell effect to show that the skill is actually doing something.

Light lovely and altogether tantalizing, it ought to be a sin to drink the 2003 Saracco Moscato d'Asti. Perhaps, that's why it's so hard to put this wine down; it's forbidden fruit, and before you know it the bottle is empty and you're looking for another bottle…. or two. Moscato d'Asti is typically light, effervescent, low in alcohol, and long on flavor, but the Saracco is more than the usual pleasant dose of lush Moscato one comes to expect from this type of wine, it is the ultimate Moscato d'Asti. Peach, pear, and what can best be described as the scent and savor of ambrosia haunt every sip of this naturally fruity, bubbly. Not only does the Saracco provide a fine dollop of the ancient Muscat grape in every glass, it is impeccably balanced, so it never comes off as ponderous or sugary sweet. We advise serving the Saracco Moscato d'Asti lightly or moderately chilled. Since it is easier to let a wine warm up in the glass rather than cool down, we suggest chilling this Moscato to approximately 40 F, then allowing it to open slowly and unfold in the glass. Enjoy!
The 2003 Saracco Moscato d'Asti is not a wine that requires a prop to strut its stuff, but it sure does taste good with that special someone, before or after dinner. And adding a little to a ripe melon and allowing the two to stew for a few hours certainly starts or finishes a meal in style. Furthermore, dessert lovers are in for a treat. Whether you serve this wine with poached pears, a creamy fruit and custard tart, or a white chocolate mascarpone cheesecake, the Saracco Moscato is on duty and ready to serve. Nonetheless, many panel member, even a few died in the wool dry red wine lovers, extol the virtues of consuming the Saracco Moscato d'Asti all by its lonesome, and that is more than fine. In fact, Saracco's Moscato can take the place of dessert or simply be dessert in a glass, so as you like it.
Paolo Saracco is an oenologist and the pro-prietor of this charming family-owned estate in the Langhe Hills of Piemonte - the region of Italy that lies just south of the great Alpine wall as it tumbles out of Switzerland. Saracco's pursuit is the expert production of small quantities of two of the world's greatest white varietals: Chardonnay and Moscato. From 50 acres of steep Langhe vineyards, which are world renowned for producing Italy's most illustrious white DOC's as well as the long lived, full-bodied DOCG reds of Barolo and Barbaresco, Saracco turns out a modest amount of delicious Moscato d'Asti and a mere 500 cases of a splendid Chardonnay called Prasue. The Saracco estate dates from the early 1900's. Paolo Saracco is the fourth generation of his family to run this property, but the first to bottle and sell the estate's entire production. Utilizing his outstanding oenology skills, this master winemaker has completely modernized this traditional property and made his winery a force to reckon with. And in an effort to focus entirely on quality, Saracco has decided to concentrate on only two grape varietals - a move we wish more winemakers would adopt. With Paolo Saracco at the helm of this fine property, we have much to look forward to in the years to come.

Natural gas production in the Northeast is continuing at a high pace despite the devastating effects Hurricane Sandy had on homes and businesses in much of the region.
On Wednesday, some Marcellus Shale-area producers were saying there was very little impact to their operations, and data from Bentek Energy, a unit of Platts, showed minimal drop-off to total Northeast gas production flow.
Northeast production flow was pegged at about 8.81 Bcf for Wednesday, down slightly from 8.83 Bcf on Tuesday. Monday's flow total was higher, at 9.06 Bcf, but flows were lower over the weekend and late last week, when the October 26 flow was at 8.84 Bcf.
"Cabot was fortunate," said George Stark, spokesman for Cabot Oil & Gas. "Our operations, including production, were not adversely impacted by the storm."
You surprised?
Pipes are the safest and most efficient infrastructure. It is what the Bakkens needs to avoid weather interruption. Natural gas however requires pipe so as expected, by real investors.
Now the political process around Act 13. That could easily kill jobs, cut production and leave the pipes running at less than planned capacity.
But I would expect a Gasland, Oil Drum and Ethanol believer to get it all backward.
The real shame is all our money Obama wasted on his base load alternative energy corruption rather than just doing the logical thing and updating our electrical grid for efficiency and security.
The real shame is that you (nor Sand) have a clue about what Act 13 does, yet you think it will stop production of natgas in PA. I suggest either or both of you actually do some research on the subject then get back to the board with your "findings." Norris - better do it right now otherwise you will forget about it in thrity minutes.
Sooner or later you have to makean investemnt in alternate energy. Let me ask you this would you like a rig next to your house? Or are you so wrapped up in your NG that you could careless about others. You knowNGis very explosive. As you have seen NG leaks from sandy is slowing efforts down as you can smell the Ng in the air. or does this not matter,
Sounds great.
if the final outcome of Act 13 was a bit more resolved, some might feel a little better about who will finally detemine the zoning rules about how close gas wells can be to homes in PA.
How close can they now be in Pa?
Why don't you tell us how close the are now. you seem to be in the knowing. Please inform the board.
It seems you are the only person concerned about it, since none of the top five producing companies in the Marcellus have mentioned it in any of their reports.

A late summer infusion of inspiration.
Last weekend, some of my pals from college came for a visit. They were hollering for some good DC shopping, so we swung by Current Boutique on 14th Street. In the sale racks, I found this cotton dress in my ideal shape: a halter to show off the shoulders, some definition on the chest, and a high waisted silhouette falling into a flattering swingy skirt. The best part, nonetheless, is the cutout in the back, which makes me feel thrillingly, if slightly, exposed.
The feminine shape of the dress offsets a pair of chunky Kork-Ease sandals (similar to these) I recently uncovered in the clearance section at Nordstrom Rack while home in Michigan. Honestly, I'm tired of summer sandals that aren't supportive (is this what adulthood feels like?), and these puppies may be the most ergonomic of the pack. In my favorite color – a bright tomato red – they've been elevating my summer go-to dresses all month.
Lastly, the good people at Kate Spade sent me this "Love Is In the Air" tote earlier this summer. No doubt, there is a lot of love in this air 'round here.
Hope you're enjoying these dog days as much as I am – September ain't here yet.

Better JAX-WS handlers with Metro
By alexismp on Dec 17, 2007
Much like EJB interceptors, JAX-WS handlers (both SOAP and Logical) provide an elegant extension point to the developer. But that flexibility does come at a performance price since DOM is used to apply this handler logic.
In his latest entry, Rama explains how Metro takes advantage of the extensible Handler framework provided by the JAX-WS specification to provide
Message-based handlers using a lightweight Tube.
This is all part of the upcoming Metro 1.1 release recently mentioned.

OAKLAND -- The A's did a lot of good things Saturday night against the Baltimore Orioles, and Stephen Drew was at the heart of many of them.
The shortstop played his finest game as a member of the A's in a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
For all the talk about the wild-card race, the A's are only two games behind division-leading Texas. That's the closest the A's have been to the American League West lead since April 13.
"We know that stuff's going on," winning pitcher Jarrod Parker said of the division race. "We just want to win. We control our own destiny. If we take care of our business, good things are going to happen."
Drew, acquired from Arizona on Aug. 20, hit a home run to right off Zach Britton (5-3) that ignited a five-run third inning in which the A's batted around and erased a 2-0 deficit.
Drew's finest work came with the glove, however. He made a perfect relay throw in the fourth inning to nail Adam Jones, who tried to score from first on Chris Davis' double to the left-field corner.
Drew made a backhand stab of Robert Andino's liner in the fifth but saved his best play for the seventh, when he went up the middle to field Endy Chavez's grounder and made a glove flip to second for a force-out.
"He's running to the left-field line, up the middle, everywhere," Parker said. "That's fun to watch. He's able to make some great plays, and that helps me out mentally to continue attacking and trusting that he's going to make every play."
Parker (11-8) scattered seven hits over seven innings, and the rookie has allowed just five earned runs in 21 innings during three September starts.
The A's clinched the season series with the Orioles -- they lead 5-3 with only Sunday's finale remaining -- and that will come in handy if the teams wind up tied atop the A.L. wild-card standings.
In that case, Oakland would host Baltimore in the "play-in" game for the right to advance to the A.L. Division Series.
Drew, who was obtained from Arizona for minor league infielder Sean Jamieson, is enjoying life with his new team.
"It's kind of crazy how this team works sometimes," he said. "It's 2-1, and then I come up again for the second time in an inning. That's a good feeling to have on this team, that anybody, anytime (can produce)."
Norris nailed Xavier Avery for the final out in the top of the ninth with one of his best throws since making his major league debut June 21.
"It's one of the better feelings I've had besides the walk-off," Norris said, referring to the winning homer he hit June 24 against the Giants.
A's manager Bob Melvin said Norris has the tools to be a standout all-around catcher much like the Orioles' Matt Wieters. But Norris' throwing has left something to be desired.
He has worked with Melvin, a former catcher, as well as A's bench coach Chip Hale and Triple-A Sacramento manager Darren Bush, who is now with the A's through the end of the season.
"We were just kind of fixing a few things with my footwork," Norris said. "It's got to the point now where it's nice and fluid. I'm working toward second base instead of trying to fight it."
Norberto has not thrown since going on the disabled list Aug. 21. He has a 2.77 ERA in 39 games and has allowed just 37 hits in 52 innings.
"We do feel like we have good depth in our bullpen, but he was a major contributor," Melvin said. "He got righties out, he got lefties out, he gave us length, and he pitched late in games. ... If he doesn't pitch again, he's already had a spectacular year for us."
Sogard is jogging and hitting off a tee, but he reiterated the A's are bringing him along slowly because they want to make sure his ankle is fully healed.
Oakland hasn't had two 20-plus-homer hitters since 2007, when Jack Cust had 26 and Nick Swisher had 22.

A Sarasota entertainment district?
Compromise can help make music in the night
Published: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:18 p.m.
Many people know "The Music of the Night" as a soothing ballad from the beloved musical "The Phantom of the Opera." In downtown Sarasota, however, "music" and "night" are fighting words.
• The Downtown Sarasota Condo Association has proposed an
entertainment district where outdoor music could be played until 11 p.m. on
weekdays and midnight on weekends -- an hour later than allowed under the
city's current noise ordinance.
• The district would extend from Fruitville Road south to Ringling Boulevard
and from Central Avenue east to U.S. 301.
• The proposal will be discussed at a community workshop next Wednesday.
For decades, condominium residents have battled bar and restaurant owners as well as musicians over the city's noise ordinance, which, among other things, restricts how late and how loud outdoor music can be played.
Mostly, the generally older condo dwellers have won. The ordinance strictly limits the hours and decibel level of outdoor music -- and is enforced, in part, through neighbors' frequent phone calls to the business owners and police.
Meanwhile, owners' and musicians' complaints that the rules unfairly impact their livelihoods -- and generally younger customers' gripes about a boring downtown -- have been heard by the City Commission but largely ignored.
That might be changing. In a harmonious turn of events, the warring parties -- except for a few vocal dissidents -- are on the verge of a truce.
A little leeway
The Downtown Sarasota Condo Association, which represents condo residents, has proposed the creation of an entertainment district. Inside that slice of downtown, outdoor music would be allowed for an hour later -- until 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends -- than currently permitted.
That might not sound like much, but bar owners and musicians should welcome any leeway at all.
The Condo Association should be congratulated for seeking a compromise that responds to the long-time criticisms of the noise ordinance.
"We want to keep the young people in our community," Association President Jim Fanning told the Herald-Tribune's Jessie Van Berkel. "I don't want them moving out of Sarasota because there's nothing to do."
The proposal emerged from talks involving the association and business owners that were brokered by City Commissioner Paul Caragiulo, a co-owner of several downtown restaurants.
Caragiulo presented the ideas Tuesday to the city's Downtown Improvement District advisory board.
They were not unanimously praised.
Some residents of the Plaza at Five Points, one of the few condos within the proposed district, complained that their peace of mind would be disturbed if the ordinance were revised.
But their isolated concerns should not be allowed to derail what appears to be a workable proposal.
For one thing, many of the residents' complaints appear to be directed at a bar below their condominium that features only indoor music. The proposal would affect only outdoor venues.
Moreover, the condo residents chose to live downtown, where nighttime music has long been allowed, under certain conditions, and is part of city life.
As Caragiulo said of longtime opponents of flexibility in the ordinance, "I think this is an example of a few people controlling the destiny of a whole city."
Business owners' responsibility
By the same token, if the entertainment district is created -- and we hope it can be -- the onus will be on the bar and restaurant owners to scrupulously adhere to the new rules. Music heard later and louder than permitted will send opponents back to the City Commission with a strong case for reversing any changes.
But, if everyone cooperates, Sarasota's music of the night could soon become more a source of more enjoyment than of friction.

Analysis: Three Act Plot Analysis
For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter's hat. Moviemakers know the formula well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is farthest away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is resolved.
Act I
Davie leaves his hometown of Essendean to seek out financial help at the Shaws household now that he has been left an orphan. He arrives at the house only to find that his uncle is a miserable miser who clearly wants Davie either to die or to disappear without troubling him anymore. Why does Ebenezer want Davie gone so bad? Because Davie seems to present some kind of threat to Ebenezer's property.
Act II
The second act is the part of the story where everything seems as far as possible from a conclusion. This moment comes pretty early in Kidnapped and is so dire that it takes around two hundred pages to bring Davie plausibly back from the brink of destruction. The second act starts in Chapter 7, when Ebenezer tricks Davie into getting on the ship the Covenant, sailing for the Americas. Davie's set to be sold into slavery once the Covenant reaches the Carolinas. He's kept heavily guarded and has no chance of escaping…until, that is, the Covenant runs into another boat with a certain Alan Breck Stewart aboard. Everything that follows – the bad times on Earraid, the Colin Roy murder, and their race across the Highlands – all fill the time between Davie's kidnapping and his return to Queensferry to reclaim his estate.
Act III
This is the moment when everything gets resolved: in other words, Chapter 28. Here, Davie meets with his lawyer back in Queensferry, who confirms that Davie does have a claim on Ebenezer's estate. Both Davie and Alan have safely made it from the Highlands (with all those Campbells and British looking for them) into the Lowlands, and Davie is pretty much home free. All there is left to do is to retrieve Davie's estate from Ebenezer and set Alan on a course to France.

text: Frugal, Money & Finance Storing Homemade Bread & Bread Ingredients As I had mentioned in a past post, our local bread outlet doubled their prices, due to the rising gas prices. My girlfriend had suggested hitting our local Kroger, which can be a goldmine of deals at the end of the day, for my bread needs. Recently they announced though, that they are now shutting down our Kroger because they were not getting the business that they needed. This not only stinks because of the bread factor, but also because it was the quick place I could run into and get a gallon of milk or the once missing ingredient for our dinners. Kroger- you will be missed on our side of town! I love to make homemade bread in my bread machine though so I am trying to do this more often. As we speak, I am trying a new recipe for Light Oatmeal Bread and I will let you all know how it turns out. I am testing recipes to find the perfect sandwich bread and this sounded like a yummy alternative to the traditional recipes. My main problem with homemade bread though is the stale factor. Without the preservatives to sustain the bread, as in our store-bought varieties, how can you keep your bread fresher longer? I looked to the experts at Cook's Illustrated for the answers to these questions. One of my main questions was, does bread last longer in the refrigerator or by just leaving it at room temperature? My other question was, what is the most effective way to store your homemade bread? Cook's Illustrated ran a test to see which bread loaves lasted the longest, testing temperatures & storage devices. I was very interested to see what the results would be, in particular, if a storage device really preserves the shelf life of the bread longer. It became quickly evident in their research, that the refrigerator is actually the least effective way to store bread. Retrogradation occurred six times faster in the bread stored in the refrigerator versus the bread stored at room temperature. Although this was not included in their findings, I do believe that room temperature may be worse in some cases depending upon your climate conditions. Those who live in humid conditions may find that bread molds much quicker if left out on the counter, rather than their refrigerator storage methods. For homemade bread, they did find the most successful way to store the bread was in a twill bag they found on Golda's Kitchen. This twill bag is both machine & dishwasher safe. The bag is $20, but can be used over and over again. I am thinking that I might try the fabric totes that came with my reuseable grocery bags first, and see if these fabric bags might be the ticket for effective storage. Homemade bread is much more cost effective than buying store bought bread. Pretty much all of the ingredients needed to make your bread can be purchased in bulk at your local wholesale club. Here are some examples of the pricing on ingredients at our local store (Prices listed are for Sam's Club in Mishawaka, IN): Yeast (2 pounds)- $3.87Bread Flour (25 pounds)- $5.54All-Purpose Flour (25 pounds)- $5.26 If you buy your flour in bulk, you can store the flour in a large Rubbermaid tote with a lid to keep it fresher longer. I keep my yeast in a Mason jar in our refrigerator door. It has worked really well for me and is always there when I need it. These are just some of my ideas for making and storing your homemade bread and bread ingredients. Sound Off: How do you store your homemade bread? Any bread making tips that you have found help with making amazing loaves of bread? Published June 26, 2007 by: Amy Allen Clark is the founder of MomAdvice.com. You can read all about her here.

Traditional print dictionaries have long enlisted lexicographers to scrutinize new words as they pop up, weighing their merits and eventually accepting some of them.
Not Wordnik, the vast online dictionary.
No modern-day Samuel Johnson or Noah Webster ponders each prospective entry there. Instead, automatic programs search the Internet, combing the texts of news feeds, archived broadcasts, the blogosphere, Twitter posts and dozens of other sources for the raw material of Wordnik citations, says Erin McKean, a founder of the company.
Then, when you search for a word, Wordnik shows the information it has found, with no editorial tinkering. Instead, readers get the full linguistic Monty.
"We don't pre-select and pre-prune," she said. "We show you what's out there now. Then we let people decide whether to use a word or not."
At one time, she was the head of the pruners, as principal editor of the New Oxford American Dictionary. She is also an author and columnist. (She wrote "On Language" columns for the New York Times as a substitute for William Safire.)
But McKean has chosen a different path at Wordnik. "Language changes every day, and the lexicographer should get out of the way," she said. "You can type in anything, and we'll show you what data we have."
When readers ask about a word, Wordnik provides definitions on the left-hand side of the screen. But it is the example sentences, featured on the right-hand side, that are crucial to a reader's understanding of a new term, she said.
"Dictionary definitions tend to be out of date or incomplete," she said. "Our goal is to find examples on the Web that use the word so clearly that you can understand its meaning from reading the sentence."
To do this, the site processes a vast reservoir of language, keeping tabs on more than 6 million words automatically, said Tony Tam, Wordnik's vice president for engineering. "But the numbers change every second," he said. "It's not a static list."
Where does all this text come from? "You'd be amazed how fast people write articles on the Web," he said.
Wordnik does indeed fill a gap in the world of dictionaries, said William Kretzschmar, a professor at the University of Georgia and the former president of the American Dialect Society. He provides American pronunciations for the new online Oxford English Dictionary.
"It takes time for words to get into the more formal, published dictionaries," he said. "Wordnik is sensitive to what people are interested in now."
Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguist at the School of Information at UC Berkeley, who talks about language on "Fresh Air," the NPR program, appreciates Wordnik's breadth. "There's a lot of useful information here," he said. (He has also written commentaries on language for The Times.)
