LOCK HAVEN - The city fire department has earned a second-place award from the Central District Volunteer Firemen's Association for its fire prevention programs.
The award includes $150 which will be used to buy materials for fire prevention education in local schools, according to City Councilman Steve Stevenson who presented a plaque and banner signifying the award at council's Monday evening meeting.
The association covers 23 counties.

Norm Wolfrom, right, Citizen's Hose Co. fire chief, shows City Council some of the differences in the old air packs, as modeled by George McKinney, left, and the new ones the city purchased. Christian Reeder, center, wears one of the new Scott air packs.
Lock Haven firefighters are in schools today presenting programs for Fire Prevention Week, although the department is active in fire prevention education year-round, according to Stevenson, who is a member of the department.
Norm Wolfrom, chief of Citizen's Hose Co., also lead a demonstration with one of the new Scott air packs the city purchased for the department. Firefighter Christian Reeder wore a new air pack and firefighter George McKinney donned an old one for the demonstration.
The new packs hold more air, yet have smaller tanks. Each comes with a better air mask, uses more advanced technology and includes the ability to connect another person to the life-saving air.
Each fire station also has a handset that can pick up individual packs from 50 to 60 yards away, as Wolfrom and Reeder demonstrated, so that if a firefighter is "down," as Wolfrom said, he can be located quickly.
The bottles for the air packs must be rehydrated every five years and replaced every 15 years, council heard.
One of the reasons the city upgraded its air packs is that it could no longer purchase bottles for its old units.
As the presentation wound down, tones sounded and the firefighters jogged to their vehicles to respond.
"When we had the parade for the tower truck, the fire department had to leave their own parade to answer a call," Mayor Richard P. Vilello Jr. said, "And now they are responding to a fire in Mill Hall."
He noted that many of the local firefighters volunteered to help with the Megatransect this past Saturday, an endurance walk-race over Bald Eagle Mountain.
"Whenever anyone needs a volunteer, someone is sure to step up," he said of the fire department. "I can't think of a better time to thank them. I just wish they were here to hear it."

One of the three people pulled from the Delaware River near Penns Landing earlier this evening has died, according to 6ABC.
The man had been involved in an accident at 4th and Arch streets in Center City, according to the report. He later reportedly fled the scene and ended up driving into the Delaware River near Market Street.
An officer on the street saw the man drive into the river and jumped in to save him.
Two Good Samaritans followed in to aid the officer.

It's not clear what you're asking. Are you asking what an application
should do or what the kernel shoul do? The kernel should inform the
application. An application should send smaller datagrams or stop
settings the DF bit.
What is the "we"?
> Also do we need to inform about the change in MTU to the TCP.
You could, but I'm not so sure it's a good idea. (Assuming there is a
TCP connection to the same destination.) I believe some operating
systems keep a table of each destination IP and its current best
estimate of the path MTU. Some redetermine the MTU for each TCP
connection as if they had no idea from the beginning. Google for 'path
mtu discovery' or 'pmtu discovery'.
> Could some one answer this query ASAP.
If you need a quick answer, put some effort into asking a detailed
question including at a minimum what you're trying to do (write an
application? write a TCP/IP stack?). That will save many back-and-forth
rounds and teeth pulling just to get at what your actual question
really is.

He recalled a whale in a similar predicament on the East Coast, nicknamed "Long John Silver" after the peg-legged pirate, who was seen a year later with a calf; they shortened the name to "Silver" to reflect that the whale was female. While the whale can survive, the tail is the major source of speed and maneuverability, the "engine in the back," said Lyman, and it could impact the whale's ability to catch food.
Article Photos
A humpback whale without half of its tail was spotted from a helicopter about 1,500 feet above the Makena Beach area Saturday afternoon. Ed Lyman, large whale entanglement response coordinator for the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, said that the whale could have of lost part of its tail in a boat collision or from an entanglement. There is no bony structure in the tail and smaller gauge line cuts pretty easily, he said. The tail will not grow back, but "I have seen whales definitely survive that," Lyman said.

Prince Harry
- 2005
Blessing Dad's Camilla
William and Harry attend their father's wedding to his love of 30 years Camilla Parker Bowles, 57. Harry, who was said to be the uneasiest about the relationship, later tells reporters, "She's always been very close to me and William...She's not the wicked stepmother. She's a wonderful woman and she's made our father very, very happy which is the most important thing."
Royal Army Men
Harry begins his life in the Army, arriving with his father Prince Charles at the historic Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst for 44 weeks of officer training. In April 2006, Harry graduates as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. The following December, his brother William also graduates as a Second Lieutenant from the same academy.
- 2006
A Concert for Diana
William and Harry plan a concert to mark the 10th anniversary of their mother's death. It takes place in London on July 1 (Diana's 46th birthday) with Duran Duran, Diddy and Fergie as performers. "This evening is about all that our mother loved in life – her music, her dance, her charities and her family and friends," William tells the 62,000-strong crowd.
- 2007
Ready for Iraq?
Harry, 22, begins a course that troops usually undergo before heading to the war zone. The media speculate that he will serve on the frontline in Iraq, possibly becoming the first senior British royal to do so since the early 1980s. But in May, the head of the British Army announces that Harry will not be deployed to Iraq due to the threat to his safety and those around him.
Remembering Diana
Harry and William plan a service with their father to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana's death. At the service, Harry gives a heartfelt speech: "To us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world." Also in attendance is Queen Elizabeth, Elton John and photographer Mario Testino.
Harry & Chelsy Split
After more than three years together, Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy call it quits, according to London newspapers that claim Davy, 22, was upset with the prince's playboy lifestyle, including his attending the rugby world cup final in Paris in October instead of celebrating her birthday with her.
- 2008
Harry Fighting in Afghanistan
British army officials confirm that Harry has been fighting on the frontline in Afghanistan since Christmas Eve. The Palace and the Ministry of Defense hoped to keep the mission secret. The 23-year-old Prince, a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry, told the British Press Association that serving in Afghanistan gave him "the chance to do the soldiering I wanted to do from ever since I joined." Once news breaks, Harry's sent home, where he reunites with girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
- 2011
The Best Man
Harry serves as best man at William's wedding at Westminster Abbey, where he stood at his brother's side as he exchanged vows with longtime love Catherine Middleton.
- 2012
World Traveler
Harry pays homage to his 85-year-old grandmother and embarks on a royal tour of Central and South America, the Bahamas and Jamaica on behalf of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, marking her 60-year reign. During his stopovers, Harry tastes rum in Belize and bonds with schoolchildren in the Bahamas before racing against Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt in Jamaica.
Game On!
Harry serves as an ambassador (along with sister-in-law Kate and brother William) to the British Olympic delegation and the British Paralympics squad for the 2012 London Games. The royal bachelor cheers on his country in events ranging from equestrian (where royal cousin Zara Phillips took home a silver) and beach volleyball.

Hello, I have a set of equations, and I want to solve it over the integers (mod 13). But msolve command fails. Here is my code:eq:={a4*a1-11, a4*a2-12, a4*a3-6, a5*a1-3, a5*a2-8, a5*a3-4, a6*a1-2, a6*a2-1, a6*a3-7};msolve(eq,13);It fails, but I can solve it manually. Here is a solution:a4*a1 = 11 => a4:=1 and a1:=11a4*a2 = 12 => a2:=12a4*a3 = 6 => a3:=6a5*a1 = 3 => a5:=3/11 mod 13 = 5a5*a2 = 8 => a2:=8/5 mod 13 = 12

Dear friends, I encounter the following problem. Let k and i be two given positive integers such that k>=2i>=4. How to find all nonnegative integers tuples (x_1, x_2, ..., x_i) such that k-2i<=x_1+2x_2+...+ix_i<=k-i? The buildin command "isolve" seems not work. Thanks.
What are the quotients ot the continued fration of the sum of
Here are the quotients of some partial sums.
Here are the quotients of the continued fration of the sum.
With the exception of the leading 0, that is close to the integer squence of pi.
The exponents of 2 that sum the numerator and denominator, in the following way, of that multiple of pi give rise to the integer sequences {0,1,2,3,8,16},numbers such that floor[a(n)^2 / 7] is a square, and {0,2,3,4,8,16},{0,3} union powers of 2.
We can do the same thing for the first 20 quotients giving rise to the integer sequences {0,1,2,5,6,8,10,13,17,19,22,23,24,28,31} and {0,4,6,9,12, 14,15,16,18,22, 23,24,28,31}. What can be said of these sequences?
Let a sequence( an ) defined by an=1,3,6,12,33,51,...and n=1,2,3,.... Find formula an?

Hello everyone
I want to check whether a recurrence relation produces integers. What I have written is rather messy, I ideally would like some kind of Proc where I can just put in the recurrence relation, the initial conditions and the number of terms I would like to check. Then get a result out which tells me whether the terms in the sequence are all integer.
I have written the following (which tells me what I want to know but in a crude way)
I have a 3rd order nonlinear recurrence relation and I would like to produce the associated sequence.
Here is the relation x[n+2]:=(((x[n+1]*x[n])^2+x[n]^2+x[n+1]^3))/x[n-1]. At the moment the method I am using (a standard do command) is very computationally heavy when I want lots of iterates. I was wondering if there were faster loops, or procs.
Also I would like some kind of way to check if all the terms are integers, maybe some kind of summation where an...

As has been rumored for days, Kris Humphries on Thursday did file for an annulment from estranged wife Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from the NBA player a mere 72 days after they wed in an lavish, $10 million ceremony that lated aired on E!
Humphries claimed fraud in the papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and asked Kardashian to pay his legal fees. The couple reportedly has a pre-nuptial agreement, and in her divorce filing, Kardashian (who blamed the split on the ever-popular irreconcilable differences) claimed there were no community assets.
But a source close to Humphries tells RadarOnline.com that he plans to request that the pre-nup be tossed — not because he's seeking a piece of Kardashian's fortune, but because the agreement severely restricts what he can say to the press in case the marriage fails. "Kris wants to be able to talk about the relationship without fear of being sued," the source tells the website.

Community leasing deal proposed for Palestine
December 2, 2013
EAST PALESTINE — The village and its residents could reap rewards by combining residential and municipal property for oil and gas leasing, Don Elzer believes....
Can't anybody in this village think positive for one minute. The voters voted Mr. Elzer into office. If he can make the citizens of EP a few bucks, I am for it. As far as jobs in this town. Show me the industrial park. Maybe we need one. Better yet, show me where we could build one. The location of EP is one of it's biggest faults. It leads to no where. More businesses are not here because they cant make money with such a small population. Simple economics. The second problem EP has is that 25% of the homes in the village are rentals. No stability here. I'm not for or against Mr. Elzer, but what other ideas are counsel members coming up with? Just sayen.

I say lets start an EP witch hunt...and run this idiotic council guy straight out of town! Since he doesn't pay his property taxes, he prob has no problem letting good ol' EP "use" his land for what ever money he might pocket (then maybe he can pay his fair share of taxes)) Enough already! When can we oust this BOZO. You better pray he comes door to door getting written consent from land owners for this hair brained scheme.....and I'm waiting for him! And if our village manager goes along with this...he too should be run outta town pronto!! Every time you turn around it's something different with this clown and his get rich quick schemes. Just pay YOUR taxes...that's money already put back into the community!! geesh!

Article doesn't even say the attorney can get the town $3400 and the article even states that oil and gas companies are not interested. They are tryng to get the companies to be interested by offering more land in ep. Which if that happens it could benefit the entire town. (Until counsel decides to waste more of the people's money)

If the town wants to lease ground that isn't theirs, they better be prepared for a few law suits. I would not want my property leased for a gas well if I lived in the city. Sounds like something they would do in the "commonwealth" This is not something that the majority can vote to do. If the majority could vote private property usage there would be a few slumlords run out of town. This gas boom, while good for the country has really made a lot of politicians glassy eyed, and be it a thousand or millions they would blow the money. I would much rather see lower gas leasing costs that lead to lower utility bills. The public pays for these windfalls of politicians in the long run., Then too, would this be permitted under current zoning laws? You can bet the city would use zoning to prevent it if they didn't want it.

Today on indieWIRE a number of Tribeca films got graded, Elvis Mitchell got skewered, Lady Gaga opened up, and more.
- indieWIRE caught a slew of films at the 10th Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend. 'Bombay Beach' earned the highest grade from Eric Kohn, who gave the film an A, and dubbed it "not unlike [Terry] Gilliam's oeuvre -- both dreamlike and intimately familiar."
- indieWIRE's Peter Knegt caught two documentaries detailing the lives of two American icons: Renée Richards and Carol Channing.
- Film critic Caryn James opted for the romantic drama, 'Last Night,' starring Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington. "From its long delay in getting here, you'd expect the 2009 Keira Knightley romantic drama, 'Last Night,' to be a disaster, but not at all," wrote James. "It's merely small and slight, the kind of blithe little relationship film that feels more European than American."
- As the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival approaches its mid-way point, the festival's audience award tracker has Lee Hirsch's doc 'The Bully Project' leading the pack thus far, followed by three more docs: Michael Collins' 'Give Up Tomorrow,' Tony Hardmon and Rachel Libert's 'Semper Fi: Always Faithful,' and Dori Berinstein's 'Carol Channing: Larger Than Life.'
- When news hit that film critic Elvis Mitchell had been let go by Movieline, Anne Thompson over at Thompson on Hollywood! took the opportunity to knock him down a few pegs (to put it mildly). Eric Kohn came to Mitchell's defense (sort of) in his latest blog post.
- The Playlist reported on the opening night of the 54th Annual San Francisco International Film Festival, where Mike Mills' dry romantic dramedy 'Beginners' kicked things off. Click here to read the quote-heavy dispatch.
- "Watch Lady Gaga Be Whiny, Repetitive and Horribly Annoying In Her New HBO Special," reads the headline in The Lost Boy's latest blog post. You've been warned ...

As part of a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment, the Emory Department of Urology plays a vital role in the treatment of the cancers listed below.
Bladder Cancer
The bladder is a hollow organ composed of layers including an inner lining and muscular outer layers. Bladder cancer typically begins in the inner layer of the bladder and grows into the bladder wall. In order to determine the best treatment for bladder cancer patients, doctors must determine how deeply the cancer has spread into these layers, known as the cancer stage. Learn more >>
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer can occur from the outer part of the kidney or the inner lining. The outer cortex of the kidney filters the blood and makes urine. Kidney cancer that arises from this area is known as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Learn more >>
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ found in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer and is the third leading cause of cancer death in men, preceded only by lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Learn more >>
Testicular Cancer
In most cases, testicular cancer affects only one of the testicles, or testes, a pair of male sex glands that produce sperm and male hormones. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 34. Although serious, testis cancer is highly treatable with cure rates approaching 100%, especially when detected early. Learn more >>
Penile Cancer
The Emory Department of Urology is affiliated with The Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Georgia's only National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center and serves as the coordinating center for cancer research and care throughout the Emory University system. With NCI Designation Winship joins an elite group of 65 cancer centers in the United States to have earned this coveted status.

Drumroll, please. It's time to announce the Best Guest Star of the season. Both finalists were women. Getting serious consideration was Robin Strasser, so good as Craig T. Nelson's academic nemesis on ABC's Coach and as Michele Lee's bitchy TV producer on CBS's Knots landing (even though the latter role was much like the Dorian Lord character she played on the soap One Life to Live). The decisive factor was that Strasser missed a chance to burn up the tube as the spandex siren in the NBC mini Blind Faith. Rather than vamping it up, she followed Robert Urich's lead and played it as though they were in a production of Our Town instead of a murder thriller.
And the winner is...Olivia Brown. I never thought I'd be citing the acting of a Miami Vice graduate, but Brown was delicious as a sexy undercover officer in ABC's Family Matters and as a voodoo acolyte in the syndicated Monsters. The clincher was her recurring tour de farce as Meshach Taylor's crazed girlfriend on CBS's Designing Women. She gave the sitcom a needed jolt earlier this season when the usually fine writing was hitting a wall. Congratulations, Olivia.

Fuckin sweet! Gonna get me some dvds and maybe a hat too!
August 21, 2013 at 5:30 pm
Sweet deal, Chad!
August 21, 2013 at 8:05 pm
I bought the complete DVD set and the hat… 2 days ago… damn. But I honestly don't mind spending my hard earned money here, these guys are great! Side note, I have an odd NES cart I'd like to get identified, any ideas?
August 22, 2013 at 1:18 am
Odd in what way? Is it playable? If so, the title should be on the screen. If it's Japanese then I'd understand that too. If you can't identify it by title then I recommend recording the game on video and posting it on YouTube.
August 22, 2013 at 5:20 pm
It's Japanese, has 101 games on it that all seem like knock offs, and it's on a cart that's a much lighter gray than usual and different shaped tab part that you grab. Has slightly altered pictures of Pacman and what looks like other scenes from popular games.
August 22, 2013 at 7:02 pm
Like I said, I would film your cartridge and some video game footage and post it on YouTube. I'm pretty sure someone knows what the title would be in English.
August 21, 2013 at 11:22 pm
Where do I put in the code? I don't see the field anywhere
August 22, 2013 at 12:46 am
I think it's near the end of the whole process if I can remember correctly
August 22, 2013 at 1:20 am
Yeah, it's just after putting your card info it, I believe. It shows a little position for the code towards the bottom of the list of things like name and shipping address that says "Promo Code/Gift Card" or something like that.
August 22, 2013 at 1:16 am
Just bought your "F**ck Balls" t-shirt and "The Deader The Better" DVD. Saved a little bit of money, which is good, but got some great much which is better. I hope my purchases help to fund whatever you need at the moment, James. I hope you & Mike can sign my purchases as well. Say, what's going on with the AVGN movie? Think you could post an update for us? How much closer are you to being done filming?

Members of the board that governs the Trumbull County Health Department recently gave two supervisors performance bonuses.
Health board members earlier this month approved $2,500 in additional compensation for Frank Migliozzi, director of environmental health, and Deborah Mokosh, director of nursing.
Health Commissioner Dr. James Enyeart, who evaluated Migliozzi and Mokosh, said he recommended that the board grant the payments.
Enyeart said the payments are less than the average overtime paid to workers supervised by Migliozzi and Mokosh, who are paid the same salary, about $72,000 a year. The department paid out close to $40,000 in overtime last year, Enyeart said.
He said Migliozzi and Mokosh ''perform impeccably.'' In addition, Enyeart said the two are on call day and night and have very serious responsibilities, ''direct public health responsibilities.''
''I have no other way to describe all the extra time and effort Frank and Debbie put in,'' Enyeart said.
Enyeart said similar bonuses were awarded for work done in 2011. Enyeart said he received $2,500 for 2011 but nothing this year.
Migliozzi and Mokosh did not, nor did any other non-bargaining unit worker at the health department, receive the 2 percent pay increase given to bargaining unit employees for 2012.
Board members Bill Hagood, the chairman and Bob Biery, Pat DiTomasso and Denise Allen didn't respond to messages to talk about the bonuses. Board member Dale Appis deferred comment to Hagood.
Another bonus given to a public employee this year generated some controversy.
The Western Reserve Port Authority, which oversees the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, awarded, and then took away, a $7,500 bonus for airport Aviation Director Dan Dickten after commissioners rolled back a portion of the funding the county provides to the port authority.
The rollback was commissioners' way to show their displeasure with granting the bonus, not of the job being done by Dickten, who declined to accept the money after commissioners cut funding.
They also did it to nudge commissioners in Mahoning County to increase the amount they give to run the port authority.
Trumbull commissioners said the bonus sent a bad message to Trumbull County workers, whose wages have been frozen. Also, they wanted greater parity between the contributions of the counties.
Dickten's bonus was 10 percent of his annual salary. The bonuses given to Migliozzi and Mokosh are much less, about 3.5 percent of what they make in a year.
But if commissioners are even slightly upset about the board of health's action, they are powerless, unlike the situation involving the port authority, to do anything about it if they wanted.
Commissioners don't appoint members of the health board. That's the job primarily of the advisory council, which has the ability to appoint four members, and the licensing council, which can appoint one member. Also, commissioner's don't control any of the health department's money.

AUSTIN – A Republican legislator has questioned whether Texas' cancer-fighting agency can regain public trust without some members of its governing board resigning.
"How can we expect the public trust to be reaffirmed if we leave people that are on the old board in the new board that either didn't catch it, didn't notice it, or knew about it and didn't do anything about it?" asked Rep. Charles Perry of Lubbock. He referred to the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas oversight committee, most of whose members attended Tuesday's meeting of a legislative committee that is examining transparency in state government.
Perry asked several questions about CPRIT awarding $11 million in 2010 to a startup Dallas biotechnology firm.
The Travis County district attorney's office and the Texas attorney general launched investigations into how CPRIT awards grants after the embattled state agency disclosedlast November it had awarded money to Peloton Therapeutics without the required commercial or scientific review.
Of the current 11 oversight committee members, six were on the panel when it ratified the Peloton award.
Appointees are chairman Jimmy Mansour, vice chairman Dr. Joseph Bailes, Charles Tate, and Faith Johnson. By statute, the attorney general and statecomptroller also are oversight committee members. A designee for Attorney General Greg Abbott was absent at the June 2010 meeting, and Comptroller Susan Combs sent a designee. Johnson, a former chief felony prosecutor in the Dallas County District Attorney's office, also was absent.
Mansour, an Austin businessman and a big donor to Republican candidates, has said he has no plans to resign. He asked Perry if he was suggesting that the oversight committee should have "caught" problems with the Peloton grant.
Perry replied: "If you take on the role as a chairman and you say, `I am the leader,' unfortunately that comes with a lot of good and a lot of bad. And to maintain that role going forward, I don't know how we will ever rebuild trust."
Mansour said problems at CPRIT have involved the review of grant proposals, and oversight committee members were not supposed to get involved.
"It was thought the best process was that the 11 oversight committee members knew nothing of it," added former oversight committee member Barbara Canales.
Perry replied: "The question should have been, 'Did this go through peer review?' Did anybody ask that on the oversight board?"
Canales acknowledged that no committee member did so, but she said the agency's compliance officer — who was hired last August — certifies to the oversight committee that awards went through peer review.
After the meeting, Perry, who is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, said he is discussing with fellow lawmakers whether public higher education institutions should take over the work of CPRIT. The agency would no longer be a state agency, he said, but stressed he has not gauged support in the House for that idea.

ALLEN PARK - For all the positives he possesses – arm strength, intelligence, savvy and leadership – Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford still has much to prove.
Even with 10 NFL starts and his heroic made-for-TV performance in a come-from-behind, last-second 38-37 victory against Cleveland, Stafford has to show that he can perform – and win – on a consistent basis.
There are a couple of big factors that would suggest he'll take a dramatic step forward in his second season:
• Stafford is the unquestioned starter and will be taking almost all the snaps with the No. 1 offense throughout camp. Remember, Stafford and Daunte Culpepper split reps in camp last year and continued that into the final week of preseason (There are some critics, ahem, who believed the Lions should've made the call to Stafford MUCH earlier).
Anyway, Stafford's extra time with the team will help him develop better chemistry with his receivers (several of which missed time due to injury last season). The extra work will also help him get more comfortable with the offense, the defenses he'll face and the adjustments he'll have to make.
• The Jim Schwartz era will be in its second season and that means a lot of things will be more settled this year, from the tempo of practice, the expectations and the coaching staff chemistry. Nobody is walking around wondering how his regime is going to operate – those gray areas are all gone now.
• From a physical aspect, Stafford seems to be doing a much better job of putting more air under the ball on several of his throws. He's not trying to fire rockets on every pass attempt and it looks like his accuracy is better, especially downfield. Stafford can still go to the rocket launcher when he needs to make a tight fit, but he's getting more comfortable by taking a little something off the fastball.
Position: Quarterback
School: Georgia
Height/Weight: 6-3/232
Experience: 2nd year
Age: 23
Contract (years left): 5
• He's got a better supporting cast. From an improved offensive line (left guard Rob Sims) to a more explosive, game-breaking running attack (Jahvid Best) to a veteran inside/downfield threat (tight end Tony Scheffler) to a physical outside receiver who can get open quickly (Nate Burleson), Stafford would appear to have an embarrassment of riches in terms of weapons.
Perhaps more than anything, Stafford has to prove that he can be a durable quarterback – he missed two games last year with a knee injury and also missed the final four with a shoulder injury. That's a little misleading, though, because Stafford might've missed just one game with the shoulder issue.
The coaching staff and front office, realizing what they might have with Stafford, decided not to take any chances with him in those final meaningless games. Because Stafford's knee still hadn't completely recovered as well, they decided to pull the chute and shut him down for the last month of the season.

Note: A number of contracts may indicate an "Amendment Date" that may exceed the "Expiration Date". In these instances, the "Amendment Date" reflects an automated system time/date stamp that the system appends to the contract when the electronic version was accessed or modified, not necessarily when the legal instrument (the contract itself) was modified.
Note: This report may not include contract information for the Oregon Judicial Department, Oregon State Lottery, Oregon University System, Oregon State Treasurer, or semi-independent state agencies, boards, and commissions. Some executive branch agencies have independent contracting authority for specific goods and services (e.g., Transportation, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Human Services, Fish and Wildlife, Parks and Recreation, Aviation, Economic and Community Development, Housing, Corrections, Veterans Affairs, Military, Education, and state agencies "specifically authorized" by any law outside the Code to "enter into a contract"). Thus, the ORPIN system may not capture contract information about those activities.

Patricia Sulpizio's letter of Aug. 29 ("Dean on authoritarians"), reviewing John Dean's visit to Santa Clarita proves only one thing: She is a rabid Democrat.
First, we don't know if her account of Dean's statements is accurate.
We are asked to accept the word of one rabid Democrat with respect to what another Republican-hater said while he is trying to sell his book.
Then we are asked to accept her assertion that Dean is some sort of expert on the "psychological research on the authoritarian personality and those who follow them." Considering the sources, it comes as no surprise the Republicans are the really bad guys and Democrats are "thoughtful, introspective, independent types who make their own decisions on issues and who to follow."
You almost think Dean was speaking and trying to sell his book to local Democrats. Oh, he was!
Still, Sulpuzio's letter has a touch of hilarity to it as almost every undesirable characteristic which Dean attributes to Republicans describes Obama: a dominating male who bullies, is vengeful, mean-spirited, desires personal power, creates false images to sell himself, is dishonest, and lies to win.
He is amoral and not necessarily religious and delights in the pleasures of life.
He is prejudiced against women: Look how he tried to destroy Hilary, refused to select her as vice president (giving the job to an incompetent), and then appointed her Secretary of State, without a voice in foreign affairs.
A fear-monger, he based his programs for the stimulus package on pure fear.
Editor's note: Suplizio's letter was an accurate account of the event and topics discussed.

"I'm thrilled. Great, it's really great. I never thought that this is something I wanted," the Dalton, Ill., native, 49, told PEOPLE at Monday's Glee mid-season premiere party at Los Angeles's Bar Marmont.
"It's just the greatest thrill in the world to find somebody that you want to be with every day," she adds.
No date for the wedding has been announced, but Glee's new season premieres Tuesday night. Lynch plays the sharp-tongued coach, Sue Sylvester, whose mission is to ruin the McKinley High's glee club singers.

On the other hand, maybe they figure that for "external" competition with 24mp Nikon, since they cannot win they'd better not enter the race at all. And market it as their own "18mp is enough" decision because of noise and dr levels...
I remain confused as to why Canon would intro this one without being able to market some progress re: the sensor.
In my opinion, it would be unusual to introduce a third Rebel update with the same sensor and it is unusual for a 1.6x sensor to last that long in the first place.
Quote from: dlleno on May 22, 2012, 09:56:47 AMIn my opinion, it would be unusual to introduce a third Rebel update with the same sensor and it is unusual for a 1.6x sensor to last that long in the first place.... or, as I'm not growing tired of speculating: Canon simply cannot do any better in the aps-c segment at the moment.
But if this were the case, time is running out for Canon to either produce or buy a better sensor!
So, I've got a new question for the panel. Since we apparently know nothing other than it'll either be a Canon T4i or an apple tree when it comes out, what about value? Specifically, I ask because we currently seem to be expecting an announcement or release sometime- any time in the next month or so.What are your thoughts on how much prices will shift and over what time frame? (Relatively)My situation is similar to those pondering an upgrade, however I've never owned a DSLR before. And my overall pocket for investing is small enough to rule out a T4i purchase simply because it'll cost more than the (example) 618.00 dollars USD with which I can currently buy a T3i body new. So somewhat sadly yet fortunate, I at least don't have to worry as much whether it'll have a Digic V. But it does leave me wondering whether to wait, and if so how long, to make a purchase on the T3i.Other random info: I'll be spending the rest ($450ish) on a specific lens. So it could hurt ones soul to lose anywhere from $50 to $150 just because of hard to nail down release schedules and that life doesn't too often align with them neatly. Thanks for reading. =)
A refurb/used T3i with better glass might be a prudent approach. That was when you come to upgrade the T3i you will have good glass to put on it.
Quote from: briansquibb on May 23, 2012, 04:41:56 AMA refurb/used T3i with better glass might be a prudent approach. That was when you come to upgrade the T3i you will have good glass to put on it.True. I haven't precluded that, really. But the idea of the question was to ask how far model prices tend to move upon new releases, since I didn't think that would be entirely off topic. One nice thing I've noticed is that they tend to retain value pretty well. Personally though, I've looked on Canon's eStore and a refurbished body is only about $58 dollars less while they add all but about eight back through tax and Fedex shipping. And Adorama doesn't seem to have any listed at the moment so I couldn't compare theirs and if they do similarly or not. Given that it seems worth the ten'ish dollars to buy new from Newegg, unless I've missed something. I've also heard about the Canon loyalty program, but again I don't have anything to trade in anyway.
Any updates on a release date? I am shopping for my first DSLR
The 650d most likely won't have a huge iq improvement, it's about features (video af, touchscreen). In any case, if you wait for it you there won't be much summer left to use it... concerning your speedlite you should check if it has the ettl, or you won't have much fun with it either on the newer digital bodies.
And if you're so set on iq, either Nikon or Canon are a wash, because it much more depends on a good lens. Personally, I got the 60d over the d7000 with the better specs because I just like the usability of the Canon better and it runs a hacked firmware (magic lantern) which adds so much more over out of the box Nikon.
I did read about ML and forgot what "features" it adds, but sounds like a nice bonus.
As an amateur and buying a body in this class, you shouldn't worry about minor iq differences in the sensor - you are very likely not to notice them.
However, you will notice the fact that you get a cramp in your hand if the body doesn't fit it.
or that you get a nervous breakdown because you hate the ergonomics.
Magic lantern is *the* killer feature for video and very handy for stills (unlimited automatic bracketing, focus stacking, focus peeking, focus trapping, ...): http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/UserGuide
I take it ML is pretty stable, and not much risk in "bricking" the body?
Canon generally isn't more for big hands than anything other, they distinguish their lineup with this, too. They used to sell $30 exchangeable large grips in the analog days, now you have to get a $300 battery grip or a $3000 larger body. For me, anything smaller than the 60d is an absolute no-go because I don't use a strap.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The U.S. Department of Defense approved the sale of some 1,000 GBU-39 bunker-buster missiles to Israel.
Over the weekend, the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the DOD's approval of the $77 million deal.
The deal with principal contractor Boeing Integrated Defense Systems also includes 150 mounting carriages and 30 guided test vehicles.
Two U.S. instructors will teach IAF (Israel Air Force) personnel how to load the missiles on the jet fighters.
"It is vital to the U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives," the Defense Department's statement read, noting Israel is "vital to the United States' interests throughout the Middle East."
The bunker-busting missiles can penetrate up to 20 feet of reinforced concrete.
In the event Israel has to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, the bunker-buster bombs would be essential as uranium enrichment facilities, such as the one at the Natanz plant, have been built in heavily fortified underground facilities.
The GBU-39 missiles are GPS-guided, enhancing their accuracy and thereby minimizing collateral damage.
Congress has 30 days in which to scuttle the sale.

For a generation of WASPs, socialite-designer Lilly Pulitzer's flower-spattered dresses and pants were as much a wardrobe staple as pearls or mallard-print belts. The bright, big-patterned colors that were her signature dotted country clubs from Bar Harbor to Bel Air, while trendsetters like Jackie Kennedy and Dina Merrill sported themselves in the shapeless shifts that became known as "Lillys."
Of all the social watering holes, Palm Beach was the most prominent venue for Lillys, and it was a dark day in that city early in 1985 when Pulitzer was forced to close her Worth Avenue shop—and its 31 nationwide boutiques. Her designs, which had once grossed more than $12 million a year, had lost their trendy appeal as her customers aged into country club matrons. But now Pulitzer, or at least her patterns are back, thanks to a young Lilly fan, 26-year-old designer Marty Karabees, and his Detroit company, Plain Geometry. Karabees, who describes the Pulitzer look as "the kind of stuff we were weaned on and used to laugh at," has created a 20-piece collection of loose-fitting shorts, skirts and shirts with Pulitzer's prints and titled it "Palm Beach Remembered: A Farewell Tribute." In so doing, he has elevated Pulitzers from preppy to modern. Says Bloomingdale's vice-president of fashion, Kal Ruttenstein, who placed two orders with Karabees: "The real Pulitzer clothes were very conservative in cut and feeling and bright in coloration. Marty has updated the shapes. They make people smile."
The inspiration struck Karabees when he read about Lilly's fashion demise in a trade paper. He dialed her Palm Beach headquarters("I had no idea where Lilly was, but I figured she had to have her headquarters in Palm Beach") and asked if he could buy her fabrics. Before Karabees could jet to Palm Beach, however, the fabrics were auctioned off. Undeterred, he went to Pulitzer's original fabric manufacturer and had the material reprinted in five Lilly colors(pink, turquoise, green, yellow and orange)and two patterns (fish and palms). "In my mind the fish were just so Lillyish and the palms just seemed hip enough," he explains. He drew new designs priced at $16 to $68 and, with partner Tom Johnson, 26, launched the collection, which 450 stores picked up in the span of a year. Featured in Vogue and Glamour, the line has grossed more than $2 million in sales.
Turning old ideas into fresh successes seems to be Karabees' forte. Raised in Detroit, where both his parents were in advertising, he took his first flier while at Michigan State University, where he produced a "beefcake" calendar featuring hunks on campus. It was an international hit, earning Karabees and his undergrad partner, Johnson, $80,000 over three years. After graduation Karabees resort hopped for two years, filed orders for a N.Y. clothing company, then moved back to Detroit and, with Johnson, founded Plain Geometry in 1984. "Tom's good at business, but he's fashion-retarded," says Karabees. "I know nothing about balance sheets and cash flow."
Karabees is already convinced that his collection is as rock-solid as Pulitzer's was. "It's absolutely what the yup market is looking for," he insists. "It's so nerdy, it's hip."

WAILUKU - Within an hour after sentencing a 48-year-old woman to 30 days in jail for her involvement in a fatal crash that killed a 96-year-old man, a judge reversed his decision and ordered no jail for the woman after learning the victim's family did not want to see the woman behind bars.
Instead, 2nd Circuit Judge Richard Bissen on Thursday ordered Roxanne Cumming to serve one year of probation and pay $17,000 in restitution within a week, which had been requested by Cumming's defense attorney.
Cumming had pleaded no contest to a charge of third-degree negligent homicide, a misdemeanor, which was reduced from the original charge of second-degree negligent homicide, a felony.
"This was a close call in the beginning," said Bissen, explaining his thoughts of imposing jail time for Cumming, also known as Roxanne Setsuko and Ewalani Hirano.
Bissen said he thought Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mark Simonds was speaking for the family when the state asked for a 30-day jail term during sentencing.
But, after that jail term had been imposed, Simonds and defense attorney David Sereno were approached by the family of Masami Nikaido, the victim. They said they did not want a jail sentence for Cumming. The two parties then went back into court for Bissen to reconsider his sentence.
Outside the courtroom, after Bissen changed his sentence, Cumming and a family member thanked and hugged members of the Nikaido family.
According to police, around 11 a.m. on April 11, 2010, Cumming was driving her employer's 2002 Ford van toward Pukalani on Haleakala Highway when the van rear ended a 2004 Toyota four-door sedan, driven by Nikaido. He had gone to Costco that morning to pick up pizza.
The Toyota was propelled forward, hitting the rear end of a Nissan Sentra, which struck a black Toyota Tacoma truck. The three vehicles were stopped in the outer lane of the highway. Nikaido sustained multiple traumatic injuries, police said.
"I'm sorry I hurt you," Cumming said, while crying and facing the Nikaido family during sentencing. "I hope this brings you closure."
In response to questions from Bissen, Cumming said she was traveling to Upcountry to pick up a dog she works with while being employed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She said she had passed a vehicle that was not maintaining a consistent speed. She said she wanted to maintain a consistent speed and a safe distance away from other vehicles.
She said the crash happened when she moved back into the far right lane while her attention was focused on what was happening with traffic behind her.
"I was just paranoid and looking in the mirror because I didn't know if somebody had come behind me," she told Bissen.
It was then that she hit Nikaido, she said.
Allen Nikaido, the victim's son, spoke highly of his father, who was a self-taught plumber and electrician and had became a licensed contractor.
He said his father operated like clockwork, so when he didn't return home by 10:45 or 11 a.m. on April 11, 2010, he went to look for his father and saw his father's truck was involved in an accident.
While the younger Nikaido said he recognizes the incident was an accident, he said during sentencing that he wanted to "see my father receive all the justice he deserves."
He said he didn't want to see the defendant in jail and deferred to the court.
"This was a case of deadly inattention," Simonds said. "The defendant was simply not paying attention."
He said police reports indicate that Cumming was taking off her shoe when the crash occurred. Both Cumming and Sereno denied that was the case.
Simonds said there were no skid marks at the scene, indicating inattention by Cumming.
He added that while Cumming was not impaired at the time of the crash, she had been convicted of driving under the influence in 1995 and 2003, and was convicted of inattention to driving in 1986.
Simonds asked for one year of probation and 30 days in jail in light of Cumming's previous convictions. He also asked that Cumming's license be suspended for a year and that she pay restitution.
Sereno asked that Cumming's license not be suspended because she needed to drive for her job as an agricultural inspector.
Cumming was willing to use her savings to pay the restitution and remained remorseful, he said.
Bissen ordered Cumming to refrain from alcohol and drugs during her probation. Instead of imposing a license suspension, Bissen ordered Cumming to continue to keep an ignition interlock system she has on her car which prohibits her from driving if she is impaired.

The wings on most costumes that require them had previously been largely static. They were either permanently closed, or permanently open. Furthermore, they were usually far too small to for the person wearing them to actually fly, even given a siginificant suspension of disbelief.
However, we had set out to build costumes that were as realistic as we could make them. This first meant having wings that were significantly large. Something as large as a human needs a wingspan akin to that of a hang-glider to fly. While this naturally would be a bit outside of practicality, we could make an armature that would be rather larger than the wearer's body, which would do a suitable impression of huge wings, which was enough. We didn't intend to actually jump off buildings with these, after all.
We also needed wings that would open and close without any obvious opening gestures. Pulling on wires or holding them out manually were definitely not the way we wanted to go. So, then... what?
What was needed was a self-powered motor compact enough to hide within the costume and simple enough that a remote control wasn't needed. This is easier said than done. Compact and controlable by the wearer we had little problem with; it was the power that gave us trouble. It takes more lifting effort than we expected to open and close wings against gravity. We went through at least four ways to do it before hitting on one that works well. For simplicity's sake, I'm only going to show that one here.
You can click on any of these images to see a larger version, of course.
It could, however, rotate. To stop this took two methods. One of the rods would be in the same plane as the rest of the armature. It would just run out along the metal and so was easy to fasten down. A short piece of plastic tubing wrapped tightly around both it and the metal keeps it securely in place.
The other two, however, were not going to be in the same plane as the armature itself. Instead, they would angle away from it, both in front and behind, in order to help give the wings a cupped, three-dimensional look. These rods went through the eye-bolts that stick out perpendicular to the armature. The eyes keep the rod under control as the mechanism opened and closed while pushing them away from the wings.

Calzaghe is dodging Pavlik.
Well, last i looked Joe comfortably beat all the above except Pavlik who was beaten up by the very man who couldnt lay a glove on Joe. Now of course the Yanks are spouting "RJJ will show Joe the way" etc. They NEED Calzaghe to lose so that finally they can say he was always overrated. Wake up America, you asked him to come over, he came, he saw he conquered. If he beats RJJ you will say he beat an over the top fighter. since his hands gave up on him he adopted a style that makes him one of the most prolific punchers of all time. No muscles on this fella, just speed of hand and thought. Wheres his guns? He dont need em!
If it aint American it aint worth knowing seems to be your attitude you ignorant dummies. Well, America cant make cars either!
Joe Calzaghe, Welsh legend and an all time boxing great - even if he wasnt born in dodo land!
cymru am byth!

Not all Americans are like that though, so to generalise that much is pretty harsh. You should have adressed this to "Calzaghe haters" in general, regardless of nationality.

When a clown makes a thread like this, it makes me wonder who's really biased.

The guy is a World boxing champion with an unblemished record who had beaten every one ever put in front of him. Slapper, ducker, whatever you want to say, his record cannot be questioned, its in black and white, and all Wins.
Shall we question Pavliks record now and ask, was he a nobody who just happened to have Taylors measure. Was Taylor a nobody who had Hopkins'.
Its the toughest sport in the world and we can only dream of attaining the levels these guys reach.
Id never question Roberto Durans record and say "hold on, he fought lots of bums inhis earlier years".
Sugar Ray L himself fought plenty of "bums" or was it that actually, he was just bloody fantastic. Watch Calzaghes last few fights....Lacy, Hopkins, Kessler...nobody hinted that any of this lot were bums, and he despatched them all. W W W on record.
When Americans climb out of their own arses and realise the world has been around a long time, and doesnt owe them **** all. when they finally turn round and say "Ok Calzaghe IS a ****ing great champion" then i will give THEM respect in return.
