But it costs 50 ****ing dollars a month. I checked.
And no, they aren't copying the Wii. XNA is a game-creating program and from the release of it they had plans to bring these games to the Xbox. If anything, Wii saw this and "copied" the 360 before they got a chance to release their's.
Now that the Wii fanboys have been told off... This will be a similar system to XBLA. But, users upload their video games, and peers review it and such and play. Some demos are already out for free to download of games. There isn't news as to if these games will be free or not (but since it's Microsoft...).
Nothing too fancy except for the announcement of it here:

But it costs 50 ****ing dollars a month. I checked.
This isn't at all the same thing as Wii Ware. The XBox Live Arcade, which has been there from the start, is basically their version of Wii Ware (original games available for purchase online). Wii Ware games are not user-created and uploaded for review. And XNA is just the development tools which have been available for awhile for download. The ability to upload your games is a recent service.
There is no Wii equivalent to XNA. Nintendo does not offer a software suite for Wii Ware game development to the general public.

Not really, just trying to clarify some mix ups in what each piece is. The thread title, "360's WiiWare Announced" is misleading since the Xbox equivalent to Wii Ware would be Xbox Live Arcade which is not new.Originally Posted by Sovieto
There is no Wii equivalent to the new Xbox service where games developed by regular people using XNA are available. There's is no Wii equivalent to XNA either.
garage developers can make games for wiiware, wasnt that the whole point of it? but yes they arent the only ones.Originally Posted by Skippy

!!10:59: Showing game JellyCar as an example. Game is about physics and not sound or graphics. Looks like crayons on graph paper.
Thats gonna be the first game I buy off it yo. To tell you the truth, im not really all that excited about both WiiWare and XNA. Both cost money, i dont care how much it is money is money, and I am gonna be so short on cash this year its not even going to be funny. I need those precious ones and fives so i can buy BURGER KING AND JELLY BEANS!!!

No more than it was originally for XBLA. It's a lower cost of entry, and Nintendo will be your publisher so you don't have to hunt one down, but not needing a publisher was a selling point for original XBLA titles as well (even though they're now telling some indies they should get a publisher first). Smaller companies could get games on, but hobbyists won't.Originally Posted by Sovieto
WiiWare copied XBLA, not XNA. It would be nice for them to put together a system like XNA for WiiWare, but it hasn't been done yet.

It's not quite so simple. You can't go to Nintendo.com and download a WiiWare development system. "Garage developers" in this sense means smaller developer companies who don't have the massive resources of an EA or Activision. You still need to go through the proper channels at Nintendo to get the things you need for WiiWare development.Originally Posted by Sovieto
XNA you can download right now, here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xna/aa937795.aspx
There's no fee at all to use it for developing Windows games. There is a subscription fee if you want to run your games on the 360 and submit them to the new Xbox Live Community Games service.

No. 1 overall recruit Robert Nkemdiche will sign his national letter of intent early in the morning on national signing day, Feb. 6.
According to a tweet from Michael Carvell of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Grayson High School has released an agenda for Nkemdiche's announcement:
This is the moment that most of us in the college football recruiting world have been waiting for. It will be the official end to a recruitment process that has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride to say the least.
Breaking: Grayson HS saysNkemdiche will sign at 730am: twitter.com/RecruitingAJC/…— Michael Carvell (@RecruitingAJC) January 30, 2013
Which hats should we expect to see on the table for Nkemdiche on national signing day (assuming he does the hat dance)?
Florida has been a late entrant into the race for the No. 1 overall recruit, and the official visit it landed from him a few weekends ago has certainly made things interesting. Meanwhile, LSU has been on Nkemdiche's interest list (247Sports.com) ever since he decommitted from Clemson.
LSU wasn't able to land an official visit, though, despite conflicting reports. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, the Tigers hat would just be up there to take up space and look good on the table.
Update 2/1/13: According to Kipp Adams of ESPN.com on Twitter, Nkemdiche will actually officially visit LSU:
No. 1 prospect Robert Nkemdiche says he has spoken to Les Miles & official is on. RT @aceboogie_001#LSU tomorrow what up!— Kipp Adams (@KippLAdams) February 1, 2013
-End of Update
Ole Miss appears to be the hands-down favorite for Nkemdiche at this point. The Rebels have been the main team on his interest list ever since he decommitted from Clemson, and for good reason. His brother, Denzel, plays linebacker for Ole Miss, and it seems to be the family preference for the two to play together.
Where will Nkemdiche commit?
Wherever he chooses to go, Nkemdiche is going to be a star, so this is going to be arguably the biggest signing day moment of the 2013 cycle.
Actually, there's no disputing that fact. This will be the marquee moment of the 2013 recruiting cycle.
We'll find out where the nation's No. 1 overall recruit will play college football early on Wednesday morning (Feb. 6).

by Tracy Kidder |
Pulitzer Prize-winner Kidder's uplifting, true story of Deogratias Niyizonkiza just may restore your faith in humanity. In 1993 "Deo," a Burundian peasant medical student, fled his impoverished country's ethnic civil war and neighboring Rwanda's genocide. Arriving in New York City with $200, emaciated and unable to speak English, Deo toils delivering groceries and sleeping in Central Park or in rat-infested tenements. Through astonishing perseverance and the kindness of strangers (like the New York woman who found a family Deo could live with), he ultimately triumphs, graduating from Columbia and Dartmouth Medical School and then opening a much-needed clinic in Burundi. You'll wonder why the Burundi atrocities, which killed over 200,000, didn't get more coverage here—and whether you could have survived as Deo did. "What happened happened," he tells Kidder at one point. Amahoro ("peace"), Deo.

|St. Kitts and Nevis Demonstrates Global Leadership At Innovative Sustainable Tourism Awareness Forum
The forum brought together nearly 50 representatives from government ministries, utility providers and the private sector to review the results of a country-wide sustainability assessment conducted earlier in the year, and take the first steps toward action to address the issues identified.
After reviewing the business case for sustainability, and engaging in some spirited discussion and consensus building, forum participants chose four out of a possible 20 projects as priority action areas:
Specialists from across the country, including a contingent which traveled by ferry from Nevis to be part of the process, spent several hours designing specific projects in each of the action areas. Leaders from across sectors noted the urgency of implementing the projects, and discussed methods to prioritize, fund, and implement each of them in the near term.

Well on My Way – I had a bit of a hassle on my own with financial assistance. The financial aid department did a wonderful job in explaining everything in great detail and making sure I knew what I was signing up for and what the costs would be. I personally think they did the best job out of any school I have attended.

grandabx posted...ps3 sales NEVER dropped to wiiu sales and ANY given month. sony continues to support its products because they still have a demand for them. when did Nintendo abandon wii? ps3 was moving a faster speed(with a 599 price point) wiiu after the suckers bought it has fallen faster fat person jumping.
resistance helped as well. whatever you can do to make it sell without alienating the fans is a positive thing(blu ray was there for a reason).

your trying to say nintendo is not an innovator. your using the well if this never came out nintendo wouldnt have released this and changed or made it better. If nintendo didnt innovate we wouldnt have alot of things we take for granite in the gaming world today.
I just think he is bored and so he decided to argue to just to do something.
Nintendo cuts corners and preaches originality and innovation when all they really have is sub-par tech and great stories.
They could literally sell what they do with Zelda and Metroid in book or T.V. format, heck, they already did it with Pokemon.

I think Nintendo won't waste it's time blaming anyone since they didn't sell Corporate Headquarters to post a profit while Sony has been digging itself into a hole that only asset liquidation will get them out of. That being said I'm looking forward to the PS4 and the next X-Box as they will look and play well with my Wii U. I don't really need a console war since I have a job that does more than pay my mortgage and utilities.

TomTom Drives Into Speed Camera Scandal
TomTom, the Amsterdam-based navigation device maker, has a bit of an image problem on its hands after it was discovered that some of the data it collects from drivers was being used by the Dutch police to choose the best sites for speed cameras.
Not an enhancement its paying customers would appreciate.
TomTom collects anonymized data from owners of high-end navigation devices and Vodafone mobile phone users that provides data about individual driving behavior that in turn informs the real time information services it sells to its customers — including information about the location of speed cameras.
TomTom also provides the data to the government to help improve the Dutch road system. That, it seems, is how it ended up being used by the police.
To be sure, it could have been a lucrative business model for the company, which faces a shrinking market for personal navigation devices and has been pushing its higher-margin service offerings; put the police in a position to place speed cameras where drivers speed most and charge TomTom users for receiving warnings of where they are. Currently, a subscription for this service costs 50 euros a year – a sum that easily can be equal to a first fine for speeding.
Unfortunately, a Dutch paper revealed that Dutch police were making use of the data, causing an outcry and forcing TomTom's Chief Executive Harold Goddijn to apologize to its customers in full-page advertisements in national newspapers.
Goddijn assured TomTom's customers that the company respects their privacy.
"We did not anticipate this kind of use and many of our customers are not happy about it," said a company statement Wednesday. "We will therefore be adding conditions to our license agreements to prevent this kind of thing in the future."
It's too early to asses how far this has knocked TomTom's image or whether Vodafone customers are switching off their mobile phones while speeding. Following privacy issues raised by Google's Street View service, it seems location-based services are never too far from causing controversy while even anonymized data has a chance of ending up in the wrong hands.
The revelations appeared the same day that TomTom cut its full-year sales outlook as the personal navigation device market shrinks more quickly than it anticipated.

Are the Sacramento Kings headed east?
Inside Business of Norfolk, Va., citing sources who asked not to be identified, reported Thursday that Virginia Beach, Va., officials and the Maloof family, owner of the Kings, are expected to announce on Wednesday that the Kings will move to Virginia Beach.
The report did not say when the relocation was to take place.
How such a move would affect the NBA is unclear. The Kings play in the Pacific Division, and it's unlikely they would remain there if they moved to Virginia.

Album Review
Cecil Taylor
had released numerous albums of solo recitals, and picking the best out of such a stellar crop is next to impossible. At the very least, it's safe to say that among his recordings after having reached the ripe age of 70,
The Willisau Concert
is among the very best and that it sits comfortably alongside discs like
Silent Tongues
, and
Double Holy House
. Since around 1970, in one sense
, especially when playing solo, reiterates the same immensely deep composition time and time again. One hears almost the same motifs, usually subtly altered, a profound appreciation of the blues (if rarely directly stated), and an attack that, even if it had mellowed somewhat over the years, retained a hugely proud and rigorous character. Here, he battles a luxurious sounding Boesendorfer into submission, making rich use of its extra low notes; there's almost always a rumbling going on. His unyielding invention is at the forefront as he wrings variation upon sublime invention on his repository of melodic lines, never noodling about in search of inspiration, always somehow summoning it directly to his fingertips. The live performance is sliced into five sections. A lengthy main portion seemingly leaving no stone unturned is both beautiful and exhausting on it own. But then, as though
realized there were things left unsaid, he launches into a stunning 13-minute postlude, breathtaking in its touch and level of emotion. In an embarrassment of riches, he adds three brief and exquisite addenda, achieving a delicacy and depth unmatched by any of his peers in the music.
The Willisau Concert
shows a grandmaster as yet unfazed by age, much less current fashion, and stands as one of
Cecil Taylor
's finest recordings. Very highly recommended.

The Crunch: The Scandal of Northern Rock and the Escalating Credit CrisisBy Alex Brummer
Published by Random House Business Books, 2008
Available at Asia Books, Bt750
Reviewed by Paul Dorsey
The Nation
The economy's broken back could easily make people forget about the comparative twisted ankle of 2007's
Northern Rock debacle in Britain. But less than a month ago the state-owned bank - stabbed multiple times for wrecking a century of solid business practice and left for dead in its own blazing mansion - stumbled out of the flames with a leering smile on its face.
With government approval and ₤14 billion it somehow found in its pocket, Northern Rock was back in the business of helping ordinary Brits buy their first house, the reaper's grin on its face mocking Gordon Brown's demands for a return to "prudent banking".
Northern Rock had been among Europe's biggest lenders, flogging mortgages of up to 125 per cent with the sucking-wound morality of a slave auctioneer. When flesh-eating disease inevitably set in, the government forced it to slow down, for God's sake, and do something about its ₤27-billion debt to the taxpayer.
The prime minister also insisted that no banker associated with a loss would receive any salary bonuses. Northern Rock, having saddled honest working men with a ₤3.8-million-per-day debt, promptly promised 500 of its executives tens of millions of pounds in payoffs deferred until next year.
And yet the horror show is allowed to continue, with loans on offer at 90 per cent, breathing fresh life into Alex Brummer's "The Crunch" just when the book was being buried in a global avalanche of fiscal terrorism.
In this instructive guide to who killed the economy, Brummer paints a portrait of the finance industry in a blood-soaked butcher's apron. No longer able to unload prime beef, it began grinding up yesterday's maggoty SIV (structured investment vehicle) sub-prime cuts into sausages marbled with fatty debts.
It then swept up the bits that had fallen on the floor to make a bilious thin stew of CDOs - collateral debt obligations. All of these goodies were packaged out to
scabrous street vendors and sold for a song that soon enough, sure enough, became a funeral dirge.
Where was the health inspector while all this was going on? Having given the butcher a licence to feed people this fiscal compost of toxins, he was dining elsewhere on filet mignon. Real filet mignon.
It's no wonder the world is now retching.
A starving man will eat anything, of course, but shame on the chef who doesn't tell his customers that the corrosive ingredients will only compound their suffering.
Brummer appears to have been an astute enough reporter at the Daily Mail to have spotted the suicide bombers boring a hole in the wall early on, but evidently he
didn't foresee the whole structure collapsing.
His focus remains on Northern Rock - the little community-building society fretting over social welfare that went very big and very, very bad - and shares his
amazement that the man in charge, Adam Applegarth, still, as of 2008, couldn't understand what he'd done wrong.
But there's plenty of big-picture stuff here too if you've got the nerve for it. The harrowing insecurity of "securitisation" is truly a wonder to behold.
"All seemed well in the sub-prime meat plant. New borrowers got their homes; brokers and banks made money up front; and investors received the higher returns they longed for in a low-interest-rate environment ... The investment banks were recycling the surplus savings in the world, most of them owned by the emerging market economies of Asia and the Middle East, into the poorest sections of US society - America's very own third world. And the bankers continued to draw their bonuses."

Inland Empire gas price nearing $4 per gallon
Average price now at highest level since early November 2012
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire rose to its highest amount since Nov. 3, increasing 2.1 cents to $3.994.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has increased 10 of the last 11 days, rising 29.4 cents over that span, including 1.4 cents on Monday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 26.4 cents more than one week ago, 37.5 cents higher than one month ago and 22.1 cents greater than one year ago.
The increasing prices are the result of high oil prices, Middle East tension, maintenance at refineries that reduces supplies and investors shifting their money into the gasoline market "earlier and earlier," according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

text: [Sorry about zooko.com bouncing. Fixes are wending their way through the depths of DNS. <firstname.lastname@example.com> still works.] Wow! Your willingness to simplify syntax is great! I. multiple-domain language: shell, rapid prototyping, engineering I'm still chewing on the idea of E as a shell language, rapid prototyping language, and Real Engineering language at once. It is intriguingly ambitious, and clearly would have great benefits. But it seems to me that you are overlooking the biggest obstacles: required "def" for each variable and required ":any" type-annotation for each function. To me (and I do write a *lot* of shell scripts in bash, mostly interactively but also in persistent files), typing a whole 'nother word in such frequent cases as those two would be a real strain. (Contrast with appending `()', or inserting `.' -- I do this without thinking about it and I don't mind.) I read some (all?) of the e-lang list threads about the ":any" "reveal operator", but if I were a naive newcomer I would not have read those threads, and I might well prefer to have an explicit, required `return' keyword, which is perfectly familiar to all C, C++, Java and Python programmers, and thus make type annotations optional, instead of having expression-style, which is not familiar and which I don't like anyway. [Note: the real Zooko does not make pronouncements about subtle matters of taste in language design without first trying it on for size, but the picky newbie who is currently performing a Man-In-The-Middle attack on Zooko's net persona hates expression-style, which doesn't appear in C, C++, Java or Python, and he hates repeatedly typing ":any" even more, even though he's never tried it.] If you target E (or a variant of E...) solely at the "real engineering languages" market, then I'll regard the lack of "return type inference" as a minor regret, but if you target it at shell scripting and rapid-prototyping, then I'll regard it is a significant impediment. II. syntax to help illiterates and speed readers > 5) I don't think command line completion can provide the Java-like > invocation dot. Therefore, and because #2 remains in the pocket, and also > because the invocation dot simply makes my eyeballs hurt, E continues to use > whitespace rather than dot for invocation. No change on this one. I'd like to reaffirm my preference for invocation dots. I have two reasons, neither of which is simply a matter of taste. (But I would like for someone to tell me if my feelings on the second point are at all reasonable or widespread.) 1. Most importantly, it is familiar to C++, Java, and Python. 2. Secondly, I like for syntax to explicitly show me the syntactic facts of the code so that I needn't actually understand the words. There follows a snippet of E code which has been munged to demonstrate this point. What if you were scanning, so that you didn't really read all the words? Or equivalently, what if you were a total newbie, and you hadn't learned the E syntax at all, but you were trying to "get a feel" for some source code. In both cases you may temporarily or even permanently confuse keywords and other words. I've taken a snippet of E code from the E distribution and changed all of the words whose meaning is not known to me in my current E-ignorant and sleep-deprived state. The only words remaining are English function words (`to' and `if'), as well as the common programmer's counter variable `i' and the constants `true' and `false'. Also I included `def'. to wordTwo : wordthree { def wordfive := [] wordsix if (!wordSeven) { if (wordEight == 0) { wordfive wordnine(WordTen(false, [])) } else { wordfive wordnine(WordTen(false, [wordEleven[0]])) } } def i := worldThirteen while (i < wordEight) { wordfive wordnine(WordTen(true, wordEleven(i, wordEight wordFourteen(i+2)))) i += 2 } wordfive wordFifteen } I find it difficult to quickly scan through this code while mentally noting each of the method invocations. Some of these combinations leave me confused even after thinking about them. What about `[] wordsix' -- is that a method invocation? Or `wordfive wordFifteen'? Having parens required after function invocations clarifies for the newbie who isn't sure what is a keyword and what is not, but it does not make "scanning for whitespace patterns" work, as `def wordfive' and `[] wordsix' still look, for an instant, like `objname methname'. Contrast with the following copy in which I've added dots in what I think are the only method invocations. to wordTwo : wordthree { def wordfive := [] wordsix if (!wordSeven) { if (wordEight == 0) { wordfive.wordnine(WordTen(false, [])) } else { wordfive.wordnine(WordTen(false, [wordEleven[0]])) } } def i := worldThirteen while (i < wordEight) { wordfive.wordnine(WordTen(true, wordEleven(i, wordEight.wordFourteen(i+2)))) i += 2 } wordfive.wordFifteen } Now here's the actual snippet. I actually *did* suffer from this problem (lack of dots and parens) when trying to write this e-mail, as I couldn't tell whether `diverge' and `snapshot' where methods being invoked or keywords, so I wasn't sure whether to prepend dots! I decided that they were keywords for three reasons: 1. `diverge' and `snapshot' sound suspiciously like language-level semantics. 2. `diverge' appears after `[]', which is probably an object but which might a special kind of thing that needs some kind of keyword applied to it. 3. I searched through the rest of the file and didn't see definitions of those words. Hm. Actually I'll bet `snapshot' is a method because it comes after an object. to getIntervals : any { def flex := [] diverge if (!myBoundedLeft) { if (myLen == 0) { flex push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [])) } else { flex push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [myEdges[0]])) } } def i := myInParity while (i < myLen) { flex push(OrderedRegionMaker(true, myEdges(i, myLen min(i+2)))) i += 2 } flex snapshot } Regards, Zooko P.S. It is my long-standing policy not to post when sleep-deprived (not to mention posting when ignorant). I'm violating this policy in order to bring you this live and uncensored demonstration of just how dumb newbies can be about programming language meaning. P.P.S. I think maybe required-parens, which MarkM has already blessed, would solve the problems demonstrated herein. P.P.P.S. The required parens around `(!myBoundedLeft)' and `(i < myLen)' make it harder for my tired eyes to see what is going on. I used to put parens around all such conditional expressions in my Python code (where they are optional), but a co-worker struck a deal with me in which I would stop doing that if he would stop doing something that was irritating me, and since then I've grown to much appreciate the cleanliness. Here then is my final preferred version, though I'm wavering a bit on "dots". to getIntervals : any { def flex := [] diverge if !myBoundedLeft { if myLen == 0 { flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [])) } else { flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [myEdges[0]])) } } def i := myInParity while i < myLen { flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(true, myEdges(i, myLen.min(i+2)))) i += 2 } flex.snapshot() } Hm. Okay, now I can't resist making one last syntactic change just to see how it'll look... to getIntervals : any: def flex := [] diverge if !myBoundedLeft: if myLen == 0: flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [])) else: flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(false, [myEdges[0]])) def i := myInParity while i < myLen: flex.push(OrderedRegionMaker(true, myEdges(i, myLen.min(i+2)))) i += 2 flex.snapshot() A-ha! It's Python! :-) Regards, Zooko

Re: [xsl] XSLT 1.1 comments - the chocolate hobnob winner

Hi Francis, > But since you picked it up on this thread, while I'm don't think it > answered the original challenge, you've certainly earned a "milk > chocolate or plain?" Oh no - I don't want that accolade, firstly because I don't think it stands in the way of what you originally proposed: > Here is a small but concrete proposal: > > [1] extend the xsl:script definition to specifically permit "xslt" > as a value of the language attribute. > [2] specify a binding to Mike Kay's *function and return elements* > [1], but in the XSLT namespace, with behaviour exactly as in Saxon - > ie it would transparently return any data type supported by XPath, > now or future, or an RTF which could be converted implicitly to a > node-set in standard XSLT 1.1 style. (my emphasis) - if we use something like saxon:function and saxon:return then we're absolutely fine. It's only if we try to coopt xsl:template into service that we run into (a few) problems, but it's still worthwhile to come up with a concrete proposal, either for inclusion in xsl:script (if user-defined extension functions eventually get supported in XSLT 1.1) or for just anywhere (if dynamic introspection is somehow introduced instead). If we try it out with a few well-intentioned implementers, then we'll be in good stead come XSLT 2.0 ("2.6 Should Allow Authoring Extension Functions in XSLT"). I want that 'should' to be 'will' - having good experience will hopefully help to convince the WG. And secondly because the hobnobs would ruin my figure.

Peripheral vascular disease is a condition of the blood vessels that causes narrowing of the arteries that supply the legs and feet.
It occurs mostly in people over fifty and affects men more than women.
Thomas Fagan was 92 years old when he took up the game of golf.
"It's something to do, and you meet up with different people," Fagan says. "It's just a good sport"
He hits the links 5 days a week and seems to have gotten the swing of things.
"I was rookie of the year last year."
Fagan might not have picked up his first club if he hadn't had surgery to fix a clogged artery in his leg.
"He has what we call peripheral vascular disease which means he's not getting enough blood to his feet and his legs and he was in pain and he was not enjoying his life," say Lee Memorial Health System's Dr. Moutta BenMaamer.
PVD is a serious condition that can result in loss of life or limb. Surgery is a last resort. If older patients can avoid going under the knife in an open surgery, it's all the better.
"We were able to open up his vessels the endovascular way, the minimally invasive way," says Dr. BenMaamer.
The endovascular procedure is done percutaneously by inserting a needle through a catheter into the blood vessel. An angioplasty clears the clog, a stent keeps it open.
Fagan spent one night in the hospital and enjoyed a quick recovery. A short time later he was tearing up the greens.

Maintenance & Traffic Branch
New Brunswick Department of Transportation
Multi-lane highways
We are gaining increasing inventory of multi-lane divided highways carrying growing volumes of high speed traffic. Safe winter maintenance operations require special measures to clear these roads of snow and ice.
Echelon plowing
Experience has shown that many of the motor vehicle accidents that occur during multi-lane plowing operations involve vehicles passing plow trucks, then either losing control in the transition to unplowed lanes or striking the truck or plow. A common method to minimize the risk of collisions is the use of "echelon" plowing involving a team of two or more trucks plowing adjacent lanes in each direction. Trucks operating in echelon travel close together reduce the passing opportunity for following traffic. Improved safety lighting packages incorporating high intensity strobe lights and wing mount LED marking lights can help make plow trucks more visible, further discouraging passing attempts.
Even echelon plowing does not eliminate all passing attempts by following vehicles. Plow operators must leave a short gap between vehicles to maintain safe operating distances, particularly during poor driving conditions. Because the conventional right-hand wing of the lead vehicle extends into the driving lane, it is exposed to traffic taking advantage of the gap and cutting in between the plows. Again, the situation is worse during poor driving conditions when the wing may be obscured by a cloud of snow. Almost every year there are several collisions involving vehicles striking the lead vehicle wing or the dense snow cast from the plow and wing.
Echelon plowing with conventional right-hand plows and wings suffers from reduced efficiency. The following plow must pick up and throw all the snow cast by the lead vehicle. Snow densifies each time it is handled, so in addition to having to handle the snow twice, the plow must push a denser mass of snow off the traveled lanes.
Left-hand plowing
Mounting a left-cast plow and wing on the lead echelon vehicle solves many of the remaining echelon plowing problems. The lead vehicle casts all the snow it collects to the median so the following vehicle only has to clear its own lanes. The left-hand wing extends over the median shoulder and not into the driving lanes. If a vehicle does attempt to pass between the plow trucks it will not encounter any equipment extending past the plow truck profile and no cast snow or windrow to cause it to lose control.
Switchable wing
A dedicated left-hand cast plow and wing lacks flexibility as it is restricted to use only on multi-lane, wide-median highways. A better solution is the use of a reversible plow and switchable wing mounting. The plow can then be used for all multi-lane and conventional operations by swinging the plow and mounting the appropriate wing. Plows and the associated frames and rigging add weight to the front axle of the trucks. The switchable wing mounting minimizes the risk of overloading the front axle by eliminating the need to mount both left- and right-hand wings at the same time. Quick connect couplers make it possible to use a single set of valves and hydraulics for a wing mounted on either side of the truck.
Switchable wing adopted
In 1995, the New Brunswick Department of Transportation acquired two trucks with reversible plows and switchable wings for trial use on two sections of multi-lane divided highways. Design and fabrication of the wing mounts was done in-house by the NB Vehicle Management Agency. The configuration immediately proved effective and the department began specifying reversible plows and switchable wings for other extensive multi-lane divided highway routes. The 420-truck provincial plow fleet now includes 15 trucks equipped with reversible plows and switchable wings.
Several improvements have been made to the switchable wing set-up since the original pilot configurations. Many of the improvements have been direct results from suggestions from the plow truck operators. One of the first design changes was an alteration of the left-side mount to "tuck" the wing into the truck cab below the driver's window to increase driver side visibility. Next, the front slide travel was increased to improve the shelving or benching capability of the wing in the left position.
The standard NBDOT combination plow truck uses a side discharge out a chute or spinner mounted immediately behind the driver side door. This configuration enables the operator to discharge salt along the highway centerline on two-lane roads. When plowing in echelon on multi-lane roads, it has been common for the lead vehicle to plow without applying salt, depending upon the following vehicle to salt both lanes using the spinner. Modifying the spreader on the lead plow trucks to throw salt under the truck makes it possible for both vehicles in echelon to salt. This requires less spinning, reducing bounce-back and salt losses to traffic, especially important when anti-icing early in a storm.
The switchable wing mounting is not without limitations. Drivers find it somewhat disorienting when carrying the left-hand wind through town on the way to a route. They find they have to pay extra attention to prevent the wing from hanging over the centerline.
Although the wings are easily interchangeable from the left to the right side, the job takes from 15 to 30 minutes and must be done in the yard or shop. Drivers cannot switch mid-route. If the left-hand wing is mounted, it is difficult or impossible to use the wing on any two-lane or even median-barriered sections of a plow route. Two-lane sections must be done with just the plow, leaving a windrow which must be cleared with an additional pass.
Proving their worth
The switchable wings and reversible plows have proven to be valuable tools when used on wide-median, multi-lane, divided highway routes. Their use has improved plowing efficiency and significantly reduced the number of run-up collisions. Operators of the following trucks appreciate the improved visibility due to the elimination of the snow cloud generated by a right-hand wing equipped lead truck.
The flexibility of the wing mounting combined with the reversible plows means that the trucks are not committed to lead plowing or even multi-lane plowing. It is possible to convert lead trucks to cast in the opposite direction to plow on a secondary route with only a quick visit to the yard.

JERUSALEM - To date, more than 7,500 people have died fighting for democracy in Syria.
For a full year, President Bashar Assad has ruthlessly crushed those opposing him. Assad has used tanks, mortars and heavy artillery against his own people.
Witnesses in the city of Homs accused his army of merciless attacks.
"I've worked in many war zones. I've never seen or been in shelling like this," said a photographer on assignment from the United Kingdom.
"I'm an ex-artillery gunner so I can kind of follow the patterns. They're systematically moving through neighborhoods with munitions that are used for battlefields," the photographer noted. "This is used in a couple of square kilometers."
Unlike other dictators in the Middle East, Assad may just survive.
"Assad has a good chance of coming through this unless the international attitude changes. For as long as the West wants to have this kind of hands off approach to the uprising -- Okay that's up to the West," said Jonathan Spyer, author of the book, The Transforming Fire: The Rise of the Israel-Islamist Conflict.
"The result of that, and we should be aware of this, could well mean that this very brutal Iran-led dictatorship manages to stay in power as a result of some pretty dreadful acts against its own people," he continued.
Some members of the U.S. Congress are seeking military intervention against the Assad regime. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said forces like the Free Syrian Army need help.
"The United States should lead an international effort to protect key population centers in Syria, especially in the north through air strikes on Assad's forces," McCain said.
So far, the Obama administration and other leaders oppose military action, pushing instead for sanctions.
Spyer, who has spent time in Syria, told CBN News that it's not Assad's brutality keeping him in power. It's his friends.
"When Assad got into trouble, the Iranians did not begin pressing the dictator to reform or to step down. On the contrary, they are backing him all the way," he explained.
Russia and China also offered a hand by blocking United Nations attempts to sanction the Syrian government.
"In a certain sense there's a good breakdown of roles. The Iranians and Hezbollah are there on the ground. The Russians and the Chinese are ensuring diplomatic cover," Spyer said.
Spyer told CBN News the Syrian rebels he met are both optimistic and realistic.
"There's kind of a strange combination when you speak to these guys. On the one hand there's a kind of like optimism, in spite of it all, that they're going to win, that they'll go on to the end," he said.
"When you actually get down to specifics, you know, they are quite realistic and they realize they may very well be on their own in this," Spyer added.
In the meantime, Spyer said he doesn't believe Syria is a threat to Israel. As long as Assad is trying to hold on to power, he will probably leave Israel alone.

EC Ruling: Statement by Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 13, 2009 - Paul Otellini, Intel Corporation president and CEO today issued the following statement regarding the European Commission decision on Intel's business practices:
"Intel takes strong exception to this decision. We believe the decision is wrong and ignores the reality of a highly competitive microprocessor marketplace – characterized by constant innovation, improved product performance and lower prices. There has been absolutely zero harm to consumers. Intel will appeal."

Picking up a high end gaming mouse for your office PC might be amusing, but it really isn't necessary. Likewise, picking up an incredibly fancy wireless keyboard to run your HTPC is not ideal either.

Subject: General Tech | May 12, 2009 - 03:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
For the second half of 2009, Intel will be refreshing their mobile lineup from the top to the bottom. At the high end are the 14" to 18.4" Calpella notebooks, which will retail at about $1,200. They will also be introducing ultra thin CULVs, which will be 12" to 13"at retail between $699 to $1,10. There will also be two Atom based netbooks, an 8.9" N270 and 945GSE for about $256 and the 10" N270 with 945GSE chipset. If you don't want an Atom powered netbook, there will be a Pineview based CPU + Tiger Point chipset
for somewhere between $399 to $599.

For gaming, the Sennheiser PC-350 is a great set of headphones, but for music it is not your best choice. They are designed to be mobile, folding up into a small enough size that they can be tossed in a laptop bag. DriverHeaven really liked the performance while being shelled in CoD 4 and found that the surround sound was good enough to determine enemy positions by audio cues. When listening to music, the poor bass performance stands out

From the short video of game play, the long wait for Duke Nukem might have almost been worth it. Along with a rather impressive use of the Unreal Engine and lighting to create a very nice looking world is some heavy scripting. A lot of the eulogy contains both enemies and Duke performing some rather intricate scripted movements along with the game play shots. It is hard to say just how well the game would have worked with jumping pig men, but hopefully someone will get their hands on the code, however unlikely that is.

3D Realms have guaranteed themselves a place in the history books for having told a joke so long they died before they could get to the punchline. It all started just bit over a decade ago, on April 28, 1997, and along the way we have seen many false climaxes, which brought our hopes up that this time they really truly would tell the punchline, but each time we were disappointed. 3D Realms wasn't alone in this titanic effort, they had help from people like Take Two and GoD to give us confidence when our attention started to wane, but alas they were in on it from the beginning; they

About 20 years ago, the big hit for the year was Activision's Death Track, featuring three cars and a lot of explosions. There was the fast Hellcat, an armed Crusher and heavily armoured Pitbull to start the game with and a ton of upgrades for engines, armour, brakes and most importantly heavy ordinance. Many many hours were spent circling a track and destroying all competition. For those of us with fond memories of those hours, the hope of a sequel or remake has dwindled over the years, but s

Getting Toasty with Ghouls and Ghosties
Head south of the border for Halloween's biggest party. November 2 is the Day of the Dead in Mexico, a cultural celebration rich in tradition. The graveyard setting may spook you out, but they certainly come to life during this annual festival. On el dia de los muertos, the deceased are welcomed to hang with the living; altars are covered with food, and tombstones are draped with colorful gifts.
Closer to home, check out the annual Halloween exhibit at the Met in New York. This month, Travel and Leisure reports on "The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult" (Sept. 27–Dec. 31).

OMAHA BEACH, France -- Recalling the "unimaginable hell" of D-Day suffering, President Barack Obama paid tribute Saturday to the against-all-odds Allied landings that broke Nazi Germany's grip on France and turned the tide of history.
"The sheer improbability of this victory is part of what makes D-Day so memorable," Obama said.
He spoke under a sunny sky at the American Cemetery on cliffs overlooking Omaha Beach and other landings sites where American, British and Canadian soldiers established a beachhead 65 years ago under the withering fire of Nazi troops awaiting the Allies' cross-channel gamble.
Obama Visits Museum
Obama visited an American battlefield museum with his wife, Michelle; laid a wreath in honor of the fallen; greeted U.S. military members; and mingled with uniformed World War II veterans.
Normandy's cliffs, still pocked with gun emplacements and other remnants of the war, including the white headstones of thousands of buried American troops, provided sure footing for a new U.S. commander in chief. Obama noted that the site has been visited by many U.S. presidents and predicted that "Long after our time on this Earth has passed, one word will still bring forth the pride and awe of men and women who will never meet the heroes who sit before us: D-Day."
He said the lessons of that pivotal effort are eternal.
"Friends and veterans, what we cannot forget - what we must not forget - is that D-Day was a time and a place where the bravery and selflessness of a few was able to change the course of an entire century," he said.
Describing Normandy's Harsh Conditions
Speaking at a time when he is directing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - both of which have lasted longer than the U.S. involvement in World War II - Obama described in stark terms the harsh conditions the Allied invaders faced at Normandy. He noted that in many ways the seaborne invasion plan went awry, leaving the assaulting forces vulnerable to Nazi guns in their path.
"When the ships landed here at Omaha, an unimaginable hell rained down on the men inside," he said. "Many never made it out of the boats."
But the Allies prevailed, gathering strength for a breakout from Normandy in July that opened a path toward Paris and eventually took the Allies all the way to Germany and victory over the Nazis. Obama paid tribute to the Allies - the British, the Canadian, the French as well as the Russians, "who sustained some of the war's heaviest casualties on the Eastern front."
"At an hour of maximum danger, amid the bleakest of circumstances, men who thought themselves ordinary found it within themselves to do the extraordinary," Obama said. "They fought out of a simple sense of duty - a duty sustained by the same ideals for which their countrymen had fought and bled for over two centuries."
World Leaders React
Earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown each recalled the sacrifices of the Allies.
Obama noted that his grandfather, Stanley Dunham, arrived at Normandy six weeks after D-Day and marched across France in Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's army. Attending with Obama was his great uncle, Charles Payne, who was part of the first American division to reach and liberate a Nazi concentration camp that Obama and his great uncle visited in Germany on Friday.
Obama saluted the contributions of individual veterans of the Normandy landings, including one veteran, Jim Norene, who fought as a member of the 101st Airborne Division.
"Last night, after visiting this cemetery for one last time, he passed away in his sleep," the president said. "Jim was gravely ill when he left his home, and he knew that he might not return. But just as he did 65 years ago, he came anyway. May he now rest in peace with the boys he once bled with, and may his family always find solace in the heroism he showed here."
Before France, Obama visited Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Germany.

Zee editors remanded in 2-day police custody
By Express News Service - NEW DELHI
Published: 29th November 2012 10:03 AM
Last Updated: 29th November 2012 10:03 AM
Two Zee News editors, who were arrested on charges of alleged extortion, levelled by Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), were remanded in two-day custody by a local court on Wednesday. The editors, Sudhir Chaudhary and Sameer Ahluwalia, were arrested by the city police on Monday evening.
While denying allegations that Zee News tried to extort `100 crore from JSPL for not airing or going slow on the reports mentioning it in the coal scam, R K Handoo, counsel for the Zee Group, termed the arrest nefarious and illegal. He stated that the arrests were made before a holiday to deny bail to his clients. The city police told the court that Zee Group chairman Subash Chandra and managing director Punit Goenka were also in the list of accused in the extortion case. Additional Public Prosecutor had stated before the court that Chaudhary and Ahluwalia should be interrogated to get to the root of the allegations. Following this, the duo was remanded in police custody until November 30.
Chaudhary and Ahluwalia are facing charges of extortion (section 384), criminal conspiracy (section 120B) and cheating (section 420), among others.
The Zee Group, in a statement stated that the Congress-led government is trying to gag the media. It also termed the day of arrests 'black'. While the matter is sub-judice, to circumvent the judicial process and the orders of the honourable High Court, the city police, at the behest of a Congress MP, orchestrated the arrests on the basis of a fraudulent and contrived complaint filed on behalf of his company, Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL), it alleged.

PATERSON — Two State Police troopers seized more than 35 pounds of marijuana last week after stopping a driver on Interstate 80 in Paterson, the division said in a news release.
Ronald Patroni, 48, of Far Rockaway, N.Y. was arrested Sept. 29 and charged with possession of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute and motor vehicle summonses, the State Police said.
Troopers Steven Spitaleri and Cormac Joyce stopped Patroni for failing to maintain his lane, the State Police said. Joyce noticed a small amount of marijuana on the driver's side floor area, State Police said, and a search later turned up 35 pounds in the trunk.
Patroni was sent to Passaic County Jail on $250,000 cash bail.

BROOKSVILLE — Hernando County government has weathered the financial downturn over the last five years by relying largely on cash reserves and employee attrition.
As property values and tax revenues fell, the number of employees dropped. Departing workers were not replaced and others were let go due to consolidation.
In some departments, services suffered. It took the controversial euthanization of a dog to get the County Commission to step forward and add staff at Animal Services last year.
With the start of a new fiscal year last month, the trend may be about to reverse. County officials have begun to advertise to fill some positions that have sat vacant for several years.
However, at least one of the positions being advertised — an additional assistant county attorney — has caught the attention of several commissioners.
The staffing in the county attorney's office was a target of public criticism when the economy turned sour. At the time, there were five attorneys in the office, including County Attorney Garth Coller.
Two assistant county attorneys left, one in 2009 and the other in 2010, but were not replaced.
Coller promised he would make do, but keeping up with the workload has become increasing difficult, especially after the death of assistant county attorney Jeff Kirk two years ago. Two other attorneys have filled that position, but neither for very long.
The second, Shaun Amarnani, announced last week he is leaving to take a similar job in Tampa. That will leave just Coller and his deputy, Jon Jouben, to do the job.
Coller had posted the third assistant county attorney's job even before Amarnani's announcement. He said the amount of work in the office had increased to the point that it was necessary to have three assistants. Now he has two openings to fill.
But the desire to add another attorney was not something county commissioners were aware of during budget discussions this summer, even though the position is in the spending plan they approved.
Commissioners Wayne Dukes and Jim Adkins said they want to discuss the position with County Administrator Len Sossamon and with Coller. Commission Chairman Dave Russell said he knows the county is starting to get busier, but "by the same token, we're not out of the woods yet.''
Russell said the county still needs to make prudent decisions about where to spend its limited resources. Adding another attorney, he said, "I'd certainly question that before we move on.''
He said he worried about repeating history.
"I don't want us to fall back into that same old thing of filling positions so we will be as bloated as we certainly were in '05 and '06,'' he said.
Also posted is a clerical job in the Human Resources Department, a job not filled since 2011. The position is badly needed, according to Cheryl Marsden, director of administrative services.
A part-time volunteer now answers phones for Human Resources, Risk Management, Workers' Compensation, Finance, county administration and the County Commission. That means workers in those departments frequently must answer phone calls.
"It's just very, very busy, and they can't get their own work done,'' Marsden said. "It's disruptive.''
A new position is also slated to be added to administration: an assistant to newly hired public information manager Virginia Singer. That employee also will work with Sossamon's administrative assistant, Tina Duenninger, who has been the sole staff support for both Sossamon and the county commissioners since two other assistants were given to other departments several years ago.
None of the commissioners question the need for that position.
Sossamon said department heads presented the need for filling positions during the budget process. Cutting staff for several years took its toll. The board-controlled departments that are funded through the general fund now employ 186 people. In 2007, there were 319 people budgeted in those departments.
The county is hearing complaints about county roads and rights of way looking trashy and overgrown, and the county is losing its curb appeal, Sossamon said. "At some point, you start to see the seams unravel, and that's where we are,'' he said. "What we're trying to do is take a look at it systemically and strategically to backfill the positions to continue and maybe even improve services.''
Even with the new positions, the 2013-14 general fund budget is almost static compared to last year's. Sossamon credits continued work toward cost savings, and he specifically mentioned efficiencies in procurement activities and fleet management.
Neither Commissioner Diane Rowden nor Commissioner Nick Nicholson had any issues with filling the open positions since Sossamon had approved adding them to the budget. "He's the one who is running the county,'' Nicholson said. "If he thinks that it's needed, it's up to him.''
