WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two senior management positions at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have been filled.
Dr. David L. Mayer has been named managing director. Mayer had been deputy managing director since January 2005.
He began his career with the board in 1991 in the Office of Research and Engineering, where he was responsible for transportation safety databases, and for the design and management of safety studies. In 1996, Mayer moved to the Office of Aviation Safety, where he worked on a number of the NTSB's investigations. He also served as deputy chief, and later acting chief, of the Human Performance division. Mayer moved to the Managing Director's Office in 2001.
Moreover, Nancy Lewis has been named director of government affairs. She will be responsible for maintaining the NTSB's relationship with the U.S. Congress as well as agencies of the federal government. Lewis joined the NTSB in April 2005 as the special assistant to then board member Deborah Hersman. (Hersman is currently chairman of the NTSB.)
Prior to joining the board, Lewis worked in the Office of General Counsel for the Transportation Security Administration. She also worked for 13 years in the Office of Chief Counsel at the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Lewis was detailed for a year by FRA to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

Amazing support! Informative and uplifting. I start everyday by checking in to see how my fellow survivors and fighters are and end every day with a prayer for us all!!! LUNGevity is one of the few non profit who actually use your money for research which is another thing I love

I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2000, 3 months after my mom died of lung cancer. It was before the internet boom and I felt so alone and scared. I was a single mom with 10 year old twin boys and no family around. Within about 6 months of my diagnosis, I started becoming familiar with the world wide web, but there was very little to nothing on lung cancer.
Then I found LUNGevity. I was no longer alone. I now have a community, a family. LUNGevity's site is comprehensive and the message board is a life saver to me.
The support from LUNGevity, has been a lifeline to me. Not only does one get emotional support, but we learn more about different protocols from each other than the doctors!
I think one of the most powerful events LUNGevity sponsors is the annual HOPE SUMMIT. There is so much emotion and support for one another. Words cannot describe what it is like to be able to be yourself, your "cancer self" for one whole weekend.

My biggest challenge has been dealing with the anxiety of leaving my sons without me. I am a single mom and my sons have no other relatives that could be in their lives if something should happen to me. Also, I was diagnosed with LC a few months after my mom passed from the same LC. My children were young and with me while I was taking care of her and we watched her waste away and die. A few months later I was diagnosed and the hardest thing was for me to tell my sons I had cancer too. They were 10 years old (I have twin boys) and I had to go to the hospital for a week, recuperate from surgery and then have chemo treatments, so I knew I would have to be honest and talk with them. It was so hard. I had no one to turn to who really understood. And then I found LUNGevity. The support from LUNGevity, has been a lifeline to me. Not only does one get emotional support, but we learn more about different protocols from each other than the doctors! Also, spends more dollars on research for a cure than other organizations. I think one of the most powerful events LUNGevity sponsors is the annual HOPE SUMMIT. There is so much emotion and support for one another. Words cannot describe what it is like to be able to be yourself, your "cancer self" for one whole weekend.

As a patient I registered for a survivorship conference organized by LUNGevity. Prior to arrival I had lost hope in my situation. After a two day conference I regained a sense of hope & companionship with other patient survivors as well as a greater grasp for looking forward to the future!

Top notch organization with the highest quality, dedicated employees. The services they provide those of us whose lives had been affected by lung cancer are beyond compare.

My first Hope Summit was in 2014. I left with such hope and inspiration and couldn't believe the amount of survivors I got to meet in person. Lungevity not only helps to connect other survivors to give hope and inspire us to keep fighting but they also are the number one non-profit that donates towards lung cancer research. Research is so critically needed for such an insatiable, deadly disease like this. I thank Lungevity staff for their deep dedication and all they do to raise awareness about lung cancer and help survivors live in the process.

If you have lung cancer, get in touch with LUNGevity. If you research treatments for lung cancer, get in touch with LUNGevity. If you need HOPE, get in touch with LUNGevity.

Lungevity provides information,support , fellowship,and valuable connections to other lung cancer survivors and caregivers. As an 11 year survivor, I can't adequately describe the support and connections that i have received through Lungevity. Their staff tirelessly works to provide support and information and the organization funds meaningful research aimed at finding a cure for lung cancer.

This is just an amazing group! No matter how you want your support, you can find it here. There is a message board so you can post questions or just what you are worried about to get written support. If you just need to type it out to get a rant out, do it here and half a dozen people will give you virtual hugs and pats on the back. If you are wondering what post-op will be like, people will share their stories.
If you prefer to have some one on one support they will find you someone to email or phone who understands what you are going thru because they have been thru it too. They try to match you as close as possible for diagnosis and anything else you prefer... if you want to make sure that you are matched with someone your gender, age group, family situation... ask away and if they know of someone that fits the bill, you will have a new friend.
Then there is the annual Hope Summit in DC! Informative speakers, yummy meals and more and more survivors every year!! I can hardly wait til May for the next one!!
There is no better place for lung cancer support!
I thank God that I found them and only wish I had found them sooner!!

I LOVE LUNGEVITY Foundation. I found this foundation last year while attempting to find some type of support group in my area. What I found was HOPE!!!!. They welcomed me in and I went to a regional hope summit. Through that I became part of the Alumni and found some neighboring members. We began a support group in my area for Lung Cancer Survivors. I went to the National Summit in DC. Met many survivors and gained more hope. LUNGEVITY gave me a life line partner. I met her while in DC at the Summit. Now I try to be a life line partner and it feels great to be able to help others. One of the greatest things I love about this foundation is the ongoing support I get from the members as well as Katie Brown. I don't feel or believe I have to go through this cancer journey alone. Great organization.

I was diagnosed with non small cell Stage 4 lung cancer in April 2014. I had no one to talk to about my fears and questions. The Cancer Society gave me the number of Lungevity. These people are terrific. Within 2 days Katie had me in touch with someone who has the same type of cancer. I've finished one round of chemo and will start Round 2 shortly. Then that 1st mentor had a set-back and Katie got me another mentor as soon as I asked for one. There is such a stigma about lung cancer, almost as if we caused it. One breast cancer survivor even asked me how much I smoked to bring it on myself. I would be lost without the caring support of these people.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two jets involved in a fender bender at New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport will be inspected to determine the extent of their damage.
Air France Flight 7, bound for Paris, was taxiing on a runway when its left wingtip clipped the tail of a Comair commuter jet just after 8 p.m. on Monday and spun it nearly 90 degrees. Comair Flight 6293 had just landed from Boston.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters says there were no injuries. He says both jets were towed away and will be inspected.
BRUSSELS (AP) — A NATO general sharply rejected French criticism Tuesday of the operation in Libya, saying the North Atlantic military alliance is performing well and protecting civilians effectively.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe had said NATO should be doing more to take out strongman Moammar Gadhafi's heavy weaponry that is targeting civilians in Libya.
SINGAPORE (AP) — Oil prices slumped to near $108 a barrel Tuesday in Asia, extending losses from the previous session ahead of key reports on the impact of rising fuel costs on global crude demand.
Benchmark crude for May delivery was down $1.64 at $108.28 a barrel at midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost $2.87 to settle at $109.92 on Monday.
In London, Brent crude for May delivery was down $1.51 to $122.47 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Higher taxes have been missing from the fierce budget battle that nearly shut down the federal government. But President Barack Obama is about to put them on the table — at least a modest version that he had pushed before and then rested on the shelf.
Most economists and budget analysts say a comprehensive mix of spending cuts and tax increases is essential to any viable deficit-reduction plan. Yet few players in the negotiations have gone there.
TOKYO (AP) — Japan raised the crisis level at its crippled nuclear plant Tuesday to a severity on par with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, citing high overall radiation leaks that have contaminated the air, tap water, vegetables and seawater.
Japanese nuclear regulators said they raised the rating from 5 to 7 — the highest level on an international scale of nuclear accidents overseen by the International Atomic Energy Agency — after new assessments of radiation leaks from the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant since it was disabled by the March 11 tsunami.
MAPLETON, Iowa (AP) — Residents of a small Iowa town had 15 minutes of warning before a tornado leveled more than half their community — a critical advantage in preventing any deaths or serious injuries, authorities said Monday.
The storm barreled through Mapleton on Saturday night with winds of more than 130 mph. But the worst injury was a mere broken leg.
Monona County Sheriff Jeff Pratt said he and his deputies, along with trained storm spotters, tracked the twister across the countryside and notified communities in its path to blow their warning sirens earlier than normal. That let people scramble into basements or seek other shelter.
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Ivory Coast's elected president used his troops and French tanks and air power to oust strongman Laurent Gbagbo, ending their four-month standoff on Monday by pulling him from his burning residence.
Images of Gbagbo being led into a room in a white undershirt were broadcast on television as proof of his capture even as he refused to sign a statement formally ceding power after losing November's election.
Residents of the commercial capital of Abidjan refrained from celebrating in public, still fearful of the hundreds of armed fighters that continued to prowl the streets, refusing to believe their leader had been arrested. Sporadic gunfire echoed across the city Monday night.
SENDAI, Japan (AP) — A strong new earthquake rattled Japan's northeast Monday as the government urged more people living near a tsunami-crippled nuclear plant to leave, citing concerns about long-term health risks from radiation.
The magnitude 7.0 aftershock came just hours after people bowed their heads and wept in somber ceremonies to mark a month since a massive earthquake and tsunami that killed up to 25,000 people and set off a crisis of radiation leaks at the nuclear plant by knocking out its cooling systems.
State Representative and Los Alamos resident Jeannette Wallace died Friday at the age of 77.

What materials did you use? Use medium weight fabric for the exterior and the interior of the bag for a sturdy book bag. Use 4 #3 grommets (7/16") to hold the knotted straps.
What are you most proud of? Simplicity! The pattern is so simple I can make up six or seven in an evening after working all day, starting at 5:00 PM and fix supper in the middle of my evening and still get to bed at a reasonable time. I work with a group of women who get together and we sew bags for charity work. This bag is perfect for working assembly line with several women and there is work for the non-sewing women, also.

hiya fella. if you're intrigued by commie guns, i'll be the first to suggest an SKS for your first longarm. any variety will do. if you still have the AK bug after you play with the SKS, you'll have a headstart on the ammunition since they fire the same round. welcome to the forum.

sks is a good start if you can get one made by norinco or russian made they are good sks's i dont know crap about the yugo's .
December 1, 2006, 10:31 PM
if you dont have a 22lr, go to a pawn shop, get one of those, (usually a marlin mod 60) for 50 to 75 bucks, get a brick of ammo, and get good with that. then get a centerfire.

Welcome to THR.:)
Nothing wrong with the CKC. They run about $120 around these parts.
December 2, 2006, 08:36 AM
I knew somebody whos first rifle was a Romanian AK.Later on he aquired more rifles.Yes a .22 should be part of your collection but get what you want because one that makes you want to go shooting will inspire you.
December 2, 2006, 08:47 AM
Do you have any shooting experience at all? If not, save yourself money and frustration and go buy a .22LR rifle.
I can't think of a worse rifle than an AK to learn to shoot. You'll have (some) recoil, (some) muzzle blast, (probably) poor accuracy and an awful trigger that will teach you bad habits for the rest of your life.
Find someone who is a responsible shooter or find and NRA basic rifle class and go learn the fundamentals. They will stick with you the rest of your life. There is plenty of time to get a blaster later and burn through ammo.
December 2, 2006, 08:57 AM
Wow, I guess I did it wrong then, my first rifle was a a Remmington 7mm bolt action, and my shoulder felt every bit of it.
Now a few years later I agree with the 22lr ammo is cheap and a great way to practice for center fire.
Welcome to THR.
December 2, 2006, 10:45 AM
A good first rifle for what purpose, exactly? Do you want to plink at the range, hunt, what? ;)
December 2, 2006, 05:35 PM
Thanks for all the help guys and girls!
The purpose of getting a rifle would be to shoot it at a range. :) I have shot a few guns in my day and would just like to start shooting for fun. :D
p.s.- the reason I was asking about an AK is because I have loved the AK's look and feel for quiet a while now! ...And because I don't know of many other rifles :P
December 2, 2006, 05:44 PM
Another vote for starting with a used .22
7.62Comm ammo is 12c a shot, .22 ammo is 2c a shot, do the math!
A good used Marlin 60 (or similar) .22 rifle will last for decades, and costs around $50-75 in Austin, TX.
There are some inferior or obsolete brands floating around out there, so stick to the Marlins. There's a good reason they've sold something like 10 million of them in the last 46 years.
The older ones hold 18 rounds in the tube-mag, the newer ones 14. Has a built-in groove to take a rimfire scope. Just enough recoil to feel like a real gun, but easy to handle.
If you go out and really practice (not just blast random rounds at the target) with a Marlin 22, you'll build up some major skills pretty quick.
After a while with that, you'll have a good feel for what you like in a rifle. You can buy something bigger, but I bet you'll still bring the Marlin every time you go to the range. I've fired everything from .177 to 155mm howitzer, and my $50 Marlin 22 gets the most use out of all my rifles. For handguns, its my Ruger MkII .22 pistol.
Good luck,
December 2, 2006, 05:50 PM

Crock-Pot Pizza PotatoesBy
On the CTF Facebook page, a fan asked if I would share my kid's favorite crock-pot recipes. She writes
Do you have an recipes that you can use a crockpot with? I have 3 boys 5 and under and dinner time is heck tick, So really any kind of things that you think Families enjoy would e greatly appreciated. I am so new to all this. Just starting this journey!
So over the next few days, I'm going to share my go-to crock-pot recipes that my kids love. Today's recipe is great for lunch or dinner. I normally make this recipe to use up extra cooked ground beef in the fridge. I've even been known to throw in sausage or pepperoni when I have it.
This recipe is from the Menu Mailer. The Mailer normally includes one or two crock-pot meals a week. In the summer, I put my crock-pot on the back porch to cook so it doesn't heat up the house. You can also put it in the basement or the garage if that is an option for you.
Pizza Potatoes
Hands-on: 45 minutes
Hands-off: 6 hours
2 Tbs coconut oil, ghee, tallow or butter
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 (28-ounce) can tomato puree or sauce
¼ cup chicken or beef stock
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
10 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
¼ cup black olives, sliced
In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and saute until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic, tomato puree, stock, marjoram, basil, salt and pepper. Cover, turn to medium heat, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Place 2 cups of the potatoes in the bottom of the crock-pot. Layer the mushrooms, artichoke hearts and black olives over the potatoes. Cover with half of the sauce. Layer on the remaining 2 cups of potatoes and finish with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Add cooked ground beef if you would like to add meat to this dish, or top with cheese. Serve with a salad, if you can get it at a good price right now in your location.

Batista to run Neymar's career
Brazil forward Neymar has handed control of his career and image rights to the country's richest man.
RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil forward Neymar has handed control of his career and image rights to the country's richest man, Eike Batista, in a deal announced on Tuesday.
Neymar's signing with Batista's IMX Talent hands the group control of the soccer player's image both during his playing days and after he retires.
"We are proud to support idols like Neymar Jr," Batista said in a joint statement with Neymar. "With IMX Talent we will develop the careers of some of Brazil's biggest sporting icons and discover more talents."
Neymar added: "I am very happy to have a Brazilian company with bases the world over alongside me to help me in my career."
Neither party disclosed the terms of the deal but sources told Reuters it will not affect Neymar's current commitments to sponsors such as Nike, Red Bull and Panasonic.
Neymar, 20, joins other big names in the IMX Talent stable, including Olympic long jump gold medallist Maurren Maggi and Torben Grael, the sailor who has won more Olympic medals than any other Brazilian.
The fleet-footed striker has been the outstanding player in Brazil over the last two years, starring for a Santos side that won the Copa do Brasil in 2010, the South American club tournament, the Libertadores Cup, in 2011 and consecutive championships with Brazil's Paulista State in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
He was voted Brazil's player of the year last season and also won FIFA's Puskas Award for the best goal of 2011.
Rated at 43 million pounds by Pluri, a sports marketing firm, Neymar has rebuffed overtures from Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain's La Liga, and English Premier League club Chelsea which recently won the UEFA Champions League.
In 2011, he extended his contract with Santos to tie himself to the club until after the 2014 World Cup, which will be held in Brazil.
Under the deal, he earns a reported $1.5 million a month, the majority of which is paid by sponsors and advertisers including Banco Santander Brasil, the Brazilian unit of Spanish banking behemoth Banco Santander.
Batista, meanwhile, is one of Brazil's best-known businessmen, a sharp-talking entrepreneur with interests in oil, mining, logistics and other fields and whose net worth was estimated at close to $30 billion earlier this year by Forbes Magazine.
A keen sportsman himself, Batista last year joined with IMG Worldwide to form Brasil1 Sports & Entertainment, a marketing agency that has a hand in organizing a number of high-profile events in Brazil.
He has also spent his own money to help his adopted home city of Rio de Janeiro prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games. In addition to funding parts of the Rio bid, he has invested in reforming hotels, infrastructure and even venues for the big event.

After a few years of loosely following Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and a year or so of following the company closely, it was great to finally see in person what everyone has been talking about for nearly that amount of time; the Model S. I finally saw one at my local Tesla store and the reviews are true, even critics of the company have to admit that it is a fantastic car.
In terms of the quality and even value presented, there have been numerous reviews since the launch that confirm that the Model S is indeed a home run. It looks just as good or better than any of the luxury sedans it competes with. Even the door handles slide in and out of recesses in the door as a driver approaches. Simply put, strong arguments could be made that the Model S is the highest quality-- and maybe even highest value-- car in its price range on the market today. Frankly, if the CEO of the company Elon Musk is literally doing rocket science with his other company Space X, it should come as no surprise that he is building some top-notch cars (with some top-notch help of course).
But Space X and Tesla comparisons end quickly when the business models of the two companies are compared. Space X does not really operate in the real world of business (not to diminish the company, it might be a better investment candidate than TSLA) considering that its main customer is the government. Tesla on the other hand, is much more in the hands of supply and demand, much like the 800 pound gorillas of the industry like Ford (NYSE:F), GM (NYSE:GM), or Toyota (NYSE:T).
So even though TSLA may have hit it out of the park with the Model S, investors still need to be asking themselves if it is enough just to build a great car? It may be, but it would be a lot easier for investors to fall back on that argument if TSLA had more time. But financially, TSLA does not have a large margin of error when considering worst-case scenarios. As of last quarter, Tesla had about 350M in cash and cash equivalents, including about 100M in government loans and reservation payments for the Model S and X. Currently the company is in the process of growing production volume, and costs are going to rise. Meanwhile revenues may stagnate or diminish as Roadster sales taper off, and partnership deals with Toyota and Daimler are of nominal scale. As of last notice from Tesla, the company expects to reach a much-awaited breakeven point at around 8,000 Model S, which will be quite a milestone for the company. If production is indeed on schedule, this point should be reached early in Q1 of 2013.
Tesla has stated as of Q1 2012 that it has over 10,000 reservations for the S, and enthusiasts speculate that number is currently at around 14,000. Even with no growth in reservations and with a 20% margin for cancellations, it should be able to come close to that magic breakeven. But the question still remains of whether building a great car is really enough to spark sustained demand in the niche EV market, and even take market share from the less niche luxury car market.
As referenced in a previous article, statistically speaking, Tesla needs only a fraction of a percent of the U.S. households that can easily afford to buy a Model S to get it through the next year. That completely ignores international markets and domestic consumers, who will finance or stretch to purchase one. Moreover, if we look strictly at luxury car sales, there will be about 1M luxury cars purchased in the U.S. this year. Tesla needs a little less than 1% of that market to breakeven, and around 3% to have a healthy 2013. The statistics sound pretty good, but what they fail to address is the willingness of consumers to really dive into the new technology. We already know that there are about 10,000 early adopters. But beyond that, the trend is poorly defined.
The Toyota Prius is not very analogous as a car to the Model S, however its early adoption rate may shed some light on what to expect. In Prius's first year (it debuted in July of 2000 in the U.S.) Toyota sold about 5,800 and 16,000 in 2001. In 2002 and 2003 T sold about 20,000 and 25,000 Prius, respectively. With those numbers, it is easy to see Tesla thriving, and soon. But the Prius was aimed at a different market, the small and midsized segments (at that time overall U.S. auto production was about 17M per year, it is now about 12M). This market tends to attract a much different kind of buyer than the luxury market.
We can probably assume that the early adoption rate in the Prius circumstance was higher as a percentage of the market than what the Model S will be, simply due to the lower cost of the Prius and the size of the respective markets. However, if we ignore that assumption and try to stick to numbers, it gets interesting. If we are generous and we take those numbers as a percentage of the of the current domestic small car market (it is generous because A. we are looking at only the small car market and B. because the market is smaller now than it was in the early 2000s, and C. we'll use the 2003 number), we end up with about 1% (25,000/2.5M). Tesla seems to like that 1%. Given the aforementioned, that percentage is very gratuitous to the actual early adoption rates. Even so, if we apply that to the current luxury car market (about 1M this year), we arrive at about 10,000 cars. On the one hand, Tesla has already taken more than that amount of reservations, but on the other, that percentage could point to over-confident expectations for 2013 sales at 20,000.
Hopefully for Tesla, the Toyota Prius comparison is just too broad to apply to the Model S, even when using generous (to Tesla) projections. Toyota probably has a virtual warehouse of data that could help, but even Toyota might not have enough data to put together a reliable forecast on the sustained adoption rate. Q2 earnings will be presented on Wednesday July 25, and investors should listen for an update on reservation numbers and any other data that could shed light on demand. Wunderlich Securities recently announced a downgrade on suspicions of lowered production volume. However, a slow down in production at this point should not be seen as a major hurdle, it is likely just a slight speed bump.
However the demand/cash relationship could be a very real hurdle if the reservation numbers fail to gain traction. If need be, Musk has the resources and the nerve to personally indemnify Tesla for some time if the company has trouble "crossing the chasm". But it could take several years to reach significantly profitable volumes if it sticks to its plan of one model per year (the Model X is planned for late 2013 and lands in the luxury SUV market, which is even smaller than the luxury car market). Investors should remember that TSLA has a very high price to book value ratio.
Tesla stock presents a unique opportunity, but it is not cheap. If sales take off, that ratio will likely appear a lot less inflated as revenues and IP values rise, but if sales stagnate, investors also need to remember that TSLA has around 50% short interest, and its stock price which has been hovering in the low $30s of late, is on the volatile side. At the end of the day, companies like Tesla still need to operate in the world of demand and supply, and the bigger their war chest, the better. Building a great car is not the only thing Tesla needs, but it is certainly a great start.
Disclosure: I am long TSLA.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY Seth Williams, who has criticized state Attorney General Kathleen Kane's decision to shut down a public corruption probe, yesterday handed the case to a local grand jury for further investigation.
Williams said he has listened to or watched some of the audio and video secretly recorded by lobbyist Tyron Ali, allegedly capturing four state representatives and a former Traffic Court judge accepting money or gifts.
Kane, responding in March to an Inquirer story about the Ali case, said Ali made 113 recordings from October 2010 to April 2012. From her statement, it is clear that more than just the four Philadelphia legislators and the judge - all Democrats - were recorded by Ali.

Zotac H55-ITX Review
Published: 7th April 2010 | Source: Zotac | Price: £109.99 |
Introduction - "The Ultimate LGA1156 Mini-ITX Platform Unleashed"
Does size really matter? Well contrary to popular belief, manufacturers have successfully disproved this theory as over the last 18 months there has been a rising popularity for Mini ITX machines. With a footprint of just 17cm either side and a growing availability of quality chassis and motherboards we have never been this close to pint sized performance machines. Since last year, Zotac has been the ring leader of Mini ITX motherboards, including the critically acclaimed ION-ITX and performance oriented LGA775 GeForce 9300-ITX boards. Having already established their winning formula, they have moved on to produce a true successor to their Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad compliant solution... Meet the Zotac H55-ITX.
For a board of it's size you will be surprised to see what Zotac have been able to implement. When one considers that just a couple of years ago the Micro ITX market was mostly littered with embedded VIA C7 or entry level Intel/AMD platforms, it's clear that the times have really changed.

With the exception of USB 3.0/SATA 6.0Gbps or Multi-GPU, the Zotac H55-ITX is as feature rich as any other Intel Core i3/i5/i7 motherboard on the market. Now don't go incontinent on us just yet as the real surprises lie in the photographs that follow.

I've found the Core i3/i5's Integrated GMA to be a considerable step up from predecessors such as the GMA950. Performance wise, it is most certainly up there with the GeForce 9300 and Radeon HD 4200 and should not really struggle with HD Video.Quote
If I were going to do an HTPC build (not on the cards right now thanks to my debit cards just melting) that's certainly good news.Quote
How ever saying that alone the MB looks like another winner for zotac and could be a future purchase for my self. (once i have some money ROTFLMAO)
The review how ever doesn't realy float my boat and just looks like bloat ware in words.Quote
I had no idea that the onboard GPU was so good for L4D, i was expecting like 10fps when I seen it at first. What cooler were you using, stock?Quote
This had crossed my mind after completing the review and I strongly apologise for the oversight on my part. Today, I have taken our previously reviewed Biostar TH55XE Motherboard and ran the same tests once more. Due to time constraints I have not tested the Biostar at 3.30GHz but at least we now have a fresh "stock for stock" comparison without recycling previous results.
The results are also in keeping with the previous results and I maintain that the Zotac H55-ITX performs on par with it's fellow Micro ATX and ATX competition.
Many thanks for the feedback.
@ peterstoba - Yes, the i3 GPU really isn't bad at all. It's not the smoothest L4D experience but it was certainly playable. I would be interested to hear how you'd rather arrange the components on the board though?Quote
Now looking though those results sort of put me in two minds lol. As tbh there isnt that much of a performance gains over the biostar and the old duel core again isn't a vast mind blowing performance boost.
With the price just dropped on the old Zotac C2d to a stellar £99 i think if you had a value for money sticker it would go to to the C2d right at this moment in time. AS we know the only reason for the price drop would be to shift the old stock ready for this new breed to take over its place.
One thing with Micro / Mini ATX you don't need the latest and greatest to be able to run anything under the TV or mini gaming system or even via arcades and juke boxes (for my case).
Do u know what the estimated Wifi range is does the new Duel aerial really give that much speed it would be good to see if it did or not. Because this estimated wifi speed has all ways been incorrect and misleading.
However have a read through the whole review again and looking at the pics of the bored personally i like the lay out its nearly perfect except i would have the wifi turned around facing the other way so that the antenna wires didn't go in-between the CPU and other components giving less interference and also stopping the chance of snagging against the CPU HFC. I think the CPU is a little close to the PCI express but a good use of Heat pipe technology would get around this problem. All so some thing ive just spotted would be i would change the antenna so that instead of being placed up and down i would have them side by side as most mini / micro atx form factors are flat and this would give better dispersal for the wifi and help with range.
All so something missing from the review which would be good would be temp readings. How does it play encased in the small mini / micro atx form factor case. Does it get warm. This would be good to know as these type systems can be used behind TV's (which do get warm all ready) , in manufacturings systems (again which do get warn all ready) and in some very wired places. I think this sort of attention to detail in the review would put this sort of review a step above the rest and giving real informative information that would need to be considered when using systems like this. I know from my past builds Heat has always been a problem and getting around the heat problem has sometimes been a headache.
Any way over all thank you for the review and the extra work you have put in.Quote

We were not provided with any range information with regards to the Atheros 802.11n WiFi module. The testbed was however connected to our 802.11g network throughout the testing and didn't exhibit any unstable behaviour. There was no way of testing it's 300mbps capability, however the adapter most certainly held a consistent 54mbps throughout testing.
I too would agree that the previous Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX remains to be a fantastic motherboard if you are less fussed about using an up to date platform. I've had one for nearly a year now and when combined with a Core 2 Duo E8400, it has offered fairly competitive performance.Quote

Danny siulapwa changed his profile photo.Shared publicly -
IN so far as the history of Zambian music goes in the last decade or so, one can confidently say it cannot be complete without the mention of Danny Siulapwa. In terms of consistency, he has proved that he is the epitome of the word.
Fans have also consistently named him after his hit songs such as Danny Masiku Onse, Danny Yakumbuyo, Danny Kaya and Danny Champion. However, it seems that fans have generally settled on the superlative Danny Kaya, and rightly so. The song, the title-track to Danny's fourth album is one of the most successful and popular songs to have been released on the local front in recent years. The song, which won song of the year on the Radio Phoenix Local Rhythm Countdown, is not just a social commentary, but also one of the most socially conscious songs to have been written by a Zambian musician of his generation.
It brings to reality in a clear and concise manner the predicament of a Zambian youth, asking him whether he will be able to achieve his dreams and vision in light of his carefree social life. This song is an effective contribution, in fact, in the fight against HIV/AIDS, which continues to ravage the most productive age groups of the country.
But make no mistake; Kaya is not the song that catapulted Danny to fame. At the start of the millennium, he debuted with the album Mvelani, which had the hit song Masiku Onse featuring JK and also had another song titled Big Up on which he paid tribute to the new crop of musicians who were in the forefront of reviving Zambian music as it were.
Thereafter, he released Ama Lovin'gi, an album that underlined the fact that Danny was not a one-hit wonder. The album had a number of hits such as Chikondi Chako Julie, a much-loved and popular song, Takwakabe featuring Joe "The Ambassador" Chibangu and My Jane featuring JK.
Still, much more was expected to come from Danny, and as expected, he did not disappoint. He followed it up with Yakumbuyo, undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive albums to have been released on the local scene in the last few years and was also one of the top selling albums. If there was a way to rank albums locally in terms of sales, you would probably say it was a multi-platinum-selling album. The effort, which some critics deemed controversial, had a number of hit songs although it was the title-track Yakumbuyo which fast caught the attention of the public. With this song, Danny opened the door for other artistes to start addressing issues which hitherto were deemed controversial if not taboo to be talked about openly among the publics.
The launch of the album, at Mumana Pleasure Resort in Lusaka, saw a sea of humanity flocking there. But if that launch was thought to be big, then the one for Kaya at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre was even huge, it was a larger-than-life affair. The Mulungushi International Conference Centre passes as the biggest venue for any formal organised event in the country, and having conquered it, Danny cemented his status as a leading musician. Danny in a way opened the way for other musicians to start holding shows at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre.
After that, Danny came back with Champion whose title-track featured comedian Difikoti. Again here, Danny, who has also done hit collaborations like Si'unganileke with Jane Osborne, demonstrated how actors and musicians can effectively collaborate. His next project, titled 10 Years was basically a reflection of the time (10 years) that he had spent in music. For this particular project, Danny, who owns Mad House Studios, featured some of the musicians that he worked with when he started his music career such as JK and also up-and-coming artistes like songstress Rachael whom he believes are the future of the industry.
His next album after that was aptly titled Live, a truly lively album. Released in 2010, it was an eagerly awaited album in that on Kaya, Danny had alluded to the fact that he was doubtful of making it to 2010 and watching the South Africa FIFA 2010 World Cup considering the reckless social life that he (of course not him in the literal sense) had lived.
As was expected, the title-track, a reply and also continuation of Kaya, proved a real hit as it again proved that Danny is a serious song-writer and social commentator who knows his way around with words and lyrics.
Yet, that is not, a new project is underway, and should be on the shelves anytime soon.
Simply put, Danny is a top-notch musician up there with the best in Zambian music. In fact, Danny keeps on setting new standards in music. He is among the few local musicians of his time who plays live on stage with his Mo Fire band. While most musicians of his era shy away from live performances, Danny keeps challenging them with a well-packaged live performance that always leaves his audience yearning for more as was the case with his last nationwide tour when he went round with his Live album.
Much more is expected to come from Danny, watch this space!

My family was referred to Dr. Lacasce for a second opinion for a family member. She was highly recommended and we knew people that received terrific care from her in the past. She knows her field of oncology, B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She was quite thorough in her review of the material and was able to provide information that was central to diagnosis and treatment. The patient felt like Dr. LaCasce was dismissive and that the staging of NHL was not critical enough for her expertise.
An exceptionally warm and caring person who instills confidence in her patients. She practices participatory medicine taking time to answer any and all questions presented by both the patient and concerned family members. She extends herself beyond what need be to accomodate her patients.
Since beign diagnosed with Non-hodgkins lymphoma almost 10 years ago I have had many different ocologists. Although they have all been very nice, Dr. Anne Lacasceif by far my favorite. She not only is amazing in her knowledge about the most recent findings in her field but also in her bedside manner. Her warm smile always makes me feel I am visiting a friend when I go to Dana Faber.Thank you for being so naturally nice Dr.Lacasce.GPC

"Emissions" is EB 7. Preceding releases EB 005 was a 4min Super8 film "Lines of Murder" and EB 006 an untitled 5min Super8 film.
The tape was released around june/july 1981, on 19 june 1981 Etat Brut played live with Mécanique Végétale at the Club Moral in Antwerp.
On 1 june 1981 they played again at the Beursschouwburg:
1) One of the machines decides not to work.
2) Man of the P.A. decides we play too loud and just turns the volume down. We had to scream and to hold all dolby's out and all volume at max value.
A scramble
We were making a song called "Belfast" and all sounds were saturated and completely mixed. A big noise. I tried to get some sounds out of it. Not possible. My friend had to scream over the top and people could just see him scream but didn't hear very much. Strange impression probably.
3) I get excited. Smashed my bass on the stage and leave. My friend stay and keep on screaming on the noise. I come back with a chair, smash it on the floor and break it in two pieces. I take another chair and throw it through the stage to the other side. Then cut the power.
4) People seemed to like it (?) and applauded for an encore. We didn't do that, of course.
Deux électroencéphalogrammes (1 et 2) et les battements du coeur enregistrés pendant un sommeil normal (A) et pendant six secondes (représentées par la bande) de bruit dont les diverses intensités dépassaient 70 dB.

Effective Wednesday, New Jersey's minimum wage will rise by $1 to $8.25 an hour, boosting the paychecks of more than 250,000 New Jerseyans and bumping up costs for businesses with low-wage workers.
While the wage increase is immediate, the reaction by businesses may take longer to assess - especially in light of the automatic annual increases voters approved in November, guaranteeing minimum-wage workers future raises.
Businesses will "over time decide how they're going to deal with it," said Thomas Bracken, president of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. "I don't think there's going to be any huge impact in 2014 on employment statistics or anything of that nature."

Hack and / - Working on My Temper
I have to admit that Plugbox was my first foray into the Arch Linux distribution. I know a number of people who really like Arch, and I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about the distribution itself, but I wanted to say a few words about pacman. First, I love the name. Second, who came up with the command arguments? In my experience, capital letters in arguments always are reserved for when you run out of lowercase arguments (or alternatively, to do the opposite of what the lowercase argument does), and although sometimes arguments have no relation to the action you are performing, at least for most programs, the most commonly used actions are the ones with the intuitive arguments. For instance, I fully expected pacman to use -i to install a package or possibly to use a longhand --install. The -S argument it does use simply makes no sense (I know it stands for "Sync" but that's a long way from "install"), and the -Ss argument to search for packages that match a keyword makes even less sense. I know it takes only a second to get used to it, but I'd still argue there are a number of more intuitive letters to choose.
Because it was so easy to build bottlerocket, I assumed it would be a relative cakewalk to install all the Perl modules I needed using CPAN. For those of you who aren't Perl hackers, Perl provides a vast repository of extra modules on-line at www.cpan.org. If there is a particular Perl module you need, you can use the cpan binary on your local system to pull down and build those modules for your system much like a modern package manager. I figured that even if Plugbox didn't include a lot of Perl modules, I would identify the modules I needed and install them one by one, like in my previous TEMPer column. The reality was that although Plugbox did include Perl and even included the cpan binary, it didn't include a lot of the necessary modules you need for CPAN actually to work.
Honestly, everything else about this project was simple once I got CPAN working, but this part of the process took the most time and effort, and it really reminded me of what Linux was like back in the day when you would find a cool project on Freshmeat, download the source and then spend the next two days tracking down all the dependencies. I finally found the magic list of packages and libraries I needed, and in this case, I had to install a few packages from Plugbox along with a manual module compilation:
# pacman -S perl-yaml perl-xml-libxml # pacman -S perl-text-query perl-text-diff perl-text-reform # wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/R/RC/RCLAMP/ ↪Text-Glob-0.08.tar.gz # tar xfvz Text-Glob-0.08.tar.gz # cd Text-Glob-0.08 # perl Build.PL # perl Build test # perl Build install
From this point, I was able to get the cpan binary to function, and I could follow the installation steps I laid out in my previous column to finish the process (I was glad I had that nicely documented for myself). Afterward, all I had to do was edit my temper.pl script so that it referenced /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of a local serial port and created a file called /etc/cron.d/temper that contained the following data:
* * * * * /usr/local/sbin/temper.pl
After I restarted cron (/etc/rc.d/crond restart), I was able to check my logs and see that the script was, in fact, reading the temperature and controlling the fridge just like my laptop. In case you'd like to do something similar with your Pogoplug, Listing 1 is the current iteration of the script.
Listing 1. Refrigerator Temperature Controlling Script
#!/usr/bin/perl my $temp_min = 67; my $temp_max = 69; use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use Carp; use Device::USB; use Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::Device; use Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::NTC; use Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::TEMPer; use lib; use Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer; my $pcsensor = Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer->new(); my @devices = $pcsensor->list_devices(); my $logfile = '/var/log/temper.log'; my $time = localtime(); my $temperature; foreach my $device ( @devices ){ $temperature = $device->internal()->fahrenheit(); } die unless $temperature; open LOG, ">> $logfile" or die "Can't open $logfile: $!\n"; # B4 = Fridge power, B5 = Heater power # turn on heater if I'm 1F below the low temp if($temperature < ($temp_min - 1)){ system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B5 ON'); system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B4 OFF'); print LOG "$time\t$temperature\tHON\n"; } elsif($temperature < $temp_min){ system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B4 OFF'); system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B5 OFF'); print LOG "$time\t$temperature\tOFF\n"; } elsif($temperature > $temp_max){ system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B4 ON'); system('/usr/local/bin/br --port /dev/ttyUSB0 B5 OFF'); print LOG "$time\t$temperature\tCON\n"; } else{ print LOG "$time\t$temperature\t\n"; } close LOG;
Now that I've had this running without issues for a few weeks, I do like how quiet and low-power the device is. Plus, it takes up less space on the top of my fridge. The only real drawback I've seen is that there is no screen on the device. On my laptop if I wanted to check the temperature, I just had to open the lid; now, I have to ssh in to the Pogoplug. Although I used a Pogoplug for this, I imagine you could translate these steps for a number of other small Linux devices that have USB ports, like the NSLU2—provided it included Perl and a gcc build environment. Now I can use my old laptop for nobler pursuits—like maybe some day powering my smoker.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

If you missed Friday night's contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards at the Staples Center, you missed one of the most awkward fights in recent sports history. With less than three minutes left in the game, Lakers swingman Nick Young got tangled up with crusty old Wizards big man Drew Gooden, leading to scuffle that looked more like a poorly rehearsed segment of Dancing with the Stars.
Update: March 22 at 9:03 p.m. ET
Gooden earned a fine from the league for his arm-grabbing stunt, per Sports Illustrated's Ben Golliver:

As a sideshow to that main event, L.A.'s Jordan Hill got into a bizarre bear-hugging match with Washington center Marcin Gortat. Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal rushed over to aid his teammate...until he realized their wasn't really any actual fighting going on.
Per the Washington Post's Michael Lee:
Bradley Beal had a hilarious reaction to the #wizards late-game skirmish with LAL. He ran to break up Marcin Gortat & Jordan Hill...until...— Michael Lee (@MrMichaelLee) March 22, 2014
Such chippy play was surprising coming from the Lakers, who have already been eliminated from postseason contention.
The Wizards, on the other hand, were clearly venting frustration at having nearly blown a critical game. They're jockeying for playoff position in the Eastern Conference and have struggled on their West Coast trip.
Three days after last Saturday's statement win over the Brooklyn Nets, Washington traveled to Sacramento and suffered a humiliating loss to a bad Kings team. They then followed that up by dropping their second game of the road trip to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
Against Los Angeles, the Wizards opened up a 20-point lead on the Lakers, only to let off the gas and watch passively as that lead shrank to just six in the third quarter.
The game followed a disturbingly familiar pattern for Washington, according to SB Nation's Umair Khan:
It's never easy is it? This should have been a bounce-back game to lift everyone's spirits, and frankly, a blowout before heading to Denver. But the Wizards did what they do best: resort to bad habits and play down to their opponents.
Not only did the Wizards play down to the Lakers, they also resorted to childish wrestling moves in the closing minutes. They will finish their Western Conference road trip on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets, another sub-.500 team. Here's hoping the Wizards will take that game a little more seriously.

A controversial proposed subdivision in the Gill Tract section of Haddonfield is slated Tuesday to come before the borough Planning Board.
Local developer Mark DeFeo is seeking permission to divide 605 Warwick Rd. into three lots. The plan also calls for tearing down the large stone house on the slightly more than one-acre property.
The subdivision has sparked strong opposition, not to mention many lawn signs, well beyond the property's immediate neighborhood.
Critics - including civic activists from other sections - say the redevelopment will be out of scale with the neighborhood, eroding its character, as they say other developments have in other parts of town. Some say it raises the issue of teardowns - partially or wholly demolishing sound houses to make way for something new that may be larger or denser than what currently exists.
