Entrepreneurs in Africa Find Opportunity in Scarcity
Annet Samaya leads a cluster of five model households on Bussi Island. HoPE has taught them sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry, sanitation and hygiene, and family planning. With income from her small farm, she has earned enough to send two of her children to boarding school on the mainland. She teaches other residents how to be similarly entrepreneurial.
Strength, Resilience and Selflessness: A Mother's Love is Universal
With assistance and training from the Hope Project, Annet had learned sustainable agricultural practices and developed her land to such a point that it now yields more than enough to support her family. When I asked how she spends her surplus she replied that she sends her two oldest children to a good boarding school so that they may have more opportunities in the future.
From Victoria to Chilwa: Integrated Development in Two African Lake Basins
The Lake Victoria Basin Commission's work has garnered political buy-in from key actors at multiple levels, resulting in projects like the Health of People and Environment Lake Victoria Basin (HoPE-LBV) project, led by Pathfinder International. HoPE-LBV has been successful in a number of ways, said Othero, including helping to shift prevailing gender roles by encouraging men to engage in family planning and reproductive health and by encouraging women to engage in sustainable livelihoods and natural resource management.

Today on this 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS we are going to install part number 24756 from Draw-Tite. This will also apply to Hidden Hitch part number 60185. The first thing we need to do is lower our exhaust. There are three rubber hangers that we need to remove, two at the bumper and one going towards the front of the vehicle. We will spray them down with some lubricant, and then pull them off. Sometimes you can pry them off, or sometimes it is easier to do by hand. :35
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt
Today on this 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt we are going to install part number V58020 from Valley. The first thing we need to do is give ourselves some working room so we are going to lower the exhaust. We are going to do that by spraying down the rubber hangers with some lubricant and then we will pry them off. There are two in the back and there is one going towards the front. We have got the exhaust out of the way so lets find the points on the frame that we have to drill out. There is an oval hole here on the bracket and a round hole. On the round hole is the one we want to mark and drill. We are going to start off with our 1/ 4 inch bit and work our way up and drill it out to 1/ 2 inch bolt size. Then we will go over to the driver side and repeat the same process. These are the parts we are going to use to install to the inside of the frame of the vehicle. We have got this block plate here with a square hole and our carriage bolt and we have got our bolt leader that comes with the kit. 01:12

At nH2, we are constantly discovering new technologies to bring to market, nurturing them through the discovery pipeline from invention to commercialisation. Here are some of our current highlights:
As a computational platform for novel material discovery, Mi3Data will set a new standard in intelligent software for predictive material science.
Mi3 will grow as it gathers fresh research from scientists and universities creating an increasingly rich data platform. As a result, it will significantly reduce the time and cost required to discover new molecular combinations and to develop new materials.
OLED displays offer vivid colours and thin screens but anything larger than a phone screen is problematic and expensive to produce. nVerpix is about to change that with a new, carbon nanotube-based OLED pixel technology.
Central to this new pixel architecture is nVerpix's CN-VOLET, a vertical organic, light-emitting transistor, that combines the previously separate drive transistor and light emitting elements of an OLED pixel into a single, vertically stacked element achieving stunning brightness with low currents.
nVerpix's unique carbon nanotube-based technology brings the possibility of affordable, large-scale, flexible and transparent displays within reach for the first time.
Neutron radiation is hard to shield and therefore a very useful indicator of radioactive material, but it is hard and expensive to detect.
In Wand we have combined boron-activated nano-materials with thin-film circuitry to create a lightweight detection system. Wand can be used to coat structures as large as entire tunnels or as small a lapel pin, making real-time scanning of traffic and crowds a very real and, at one sixth of the price of existing detectors, inexpensive possibility.
Our filters can be tailored to remove a wide range of chemical contaminants such as arsenic, fluoride, and heavy metals, as well as biological impurities like viruses and bacteria. Best of all, the system requires no electricity or chemical additives for water purification, and very little maintenance, keeping costs low. Flow rates and capacities can also be customised to suit a wide range of different applications.
Combining infra-red sensitive, nano-sized crystals, or Quantum dots, with organic LEDs (OLEDs), our thin-film technology opens up the potential for a huge range of new night vision applications, from head-up night vision displays in cars to affordable, non-intrusive night vision glasses.
Another research avenue our team is pursuing with this technology is improving the efficiency of solar panel by widening their sensitivity to light energy in the infra-red part of the spectrum.
Paramata utilises radio waves and proprietary detection and data visualisation techniques to provide unparalleled resolution and scanning depth. Our prototypes are already more effective at detecting defects in composite materials than any other scanning technology on the market.
The first generation of Paramata will fit inside a suitcase for easy transportation and use. We are also working towards automating the scanning process with robotics, introducing it as part of a vehicle's regular maintenance cycle. Paramata's scanning technology could also be applied to materials as a coating or integrated into the materials themselves, providing maintenance teams and flight crews with live monitoring systems.
Our vision with eFlowBox is to put into people's hands the power to generate, store and supply cheaper energy, allowing them to switch between different energy supplies depending on availability and cost, and to store any excess power they produce for use at a later time.
The system could help households dramatically reduce their energy costs, and help ensure reliable sources of electricity for the 1.6 billion people currently living in areas with intermittent grid supply. It could also be scaled up to provide smart energy management for local communities, transferring energy from home to home according to different supply and demand parameters.
Our scientists at nSolgel have developed a process of chemical washes and reactions that enable sand particles to bond with cement-like strength. Unlike conventional concrete manufacturing, which requires time for the concrete to set and cool-down before further layers can be added, nSolgel's manufacturing process occurs at room temperature, allowing for continual pouring – particularly valuable in large construction projects or difficult environments.
nSolgel can also be fine tuned to suit a range of different construction applications, by adjusting features such as setting times, compressive strength, flow rate and solidification under water. This makes it a highly practical solution to major civil engineering problems.

GlaxoSmithKline negotiated exclusive rights to develop and commercialize specific vaccine and inhaled product candidates using Liquidia Technologies' PRINT® (particle replication in non-wetting templates) platform for nanoparticle development and production. Under terms of the broad, multiyear collaboration Liquidia will receive an up-front fee based on cash and equity, together with R&D funding, and the potential for additional license fees and development milestones. The firm retains the right to independently develop certain respiratory and vaccine products, as well use the PRINT platform for developing products in other therapeutic areas.
The value of the deal, excluding sales royalties, could total several million dollars. "The strength of this collaboration is based on the strong and successful heritage of GSK's vaccine and inhaled therapy franchises and the transformative particle engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Liquidia's PRINT technology, which when combined, we believe will yield a next generation of life saving therapeutics," remarks Neal Fowler, Liquidia's CEO.
The PRINT platform is effectively a mold-based replication process for generating precisely engineered particles and films. The technology enables the independent optimization of drug carrier particle features including shape, size, chemical composition, and surface functionality. Liquidia says this means particles can be designed to either actively or passively target specific cells and tissues, and carry large therapeutic payloads of small molecule or biologic drugs. Custom-modification can also optimize circulation time, and generate carrier particles that only release their drug cargo in response to specific cues such as pH, temperature, or the presence of a particular enzyme.
Liquidia is exploiting the PRINT technology for the development of engineered antigen-carrying dissolvable particle vaccines, conjugate vaccines, and nucleic acid vaccines, as well as inhaled therapeutics and products for systemic and local siRNA delivery. The firm says the platform can also be exploited for developing micro-beads and/or wells used in some next-generation sequencing technologies.

That seems to be the way these folks work. One says something bad one day and the stock tanks. Smart money buys in. Next day another one says something positive and the stock jumps. Smart money sells out. That is how companies like Goldman Sachs make billions every quarter. Efficient market theory??? I think not.
Sentiment: Buy
This is the game for big boys play all the time! For us, this is als a chance to get in and ride on it!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
ROTFLMFAO! You need to wake up!!!!! Analysts are looking at fair value of $21-$22 for this turd! If social media sites were to collapse, most analysts look at Twitter and LinkedIn as being the two to survive, public company or not!!!!
Sentiment: Sell
This stock was over 32 just about seven weeks ago. It is already down 20% from there. That is a bear market in FB stock. Oversold.
You say analysts don't think a company with a billion users will survive? FB counts as users probably half of everyone on the planet who has Internet access. That's crazy.
you got me wrong, dude--i currently short option, but that's the game analysts play, and i would not doubt if some shill tries to prop up stock drop. i am short-term trader--very short; i do not have balls to continue short at this point. will expire in money or close position, depending. no buy; no short.
HAILS-TO-THE-YEAH!! this man is wise! AGREED!!
[ or will they wait til the weekly opex friday??...watch out!! ]

Power-pop band Revolush conquers 'Stagefright'
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "All the world's a stage." But rocking a stage and acting on a stage are distinctly different experiences, said Tommy Hahn, 42, who performs with Skylight Music Theatre full-time and fronts the power-pop group Revolush in his spare time.
"There's quite the gang aspect to playing in a band vs. being in a musical," Hahn said. "In a musical, someone else sells tickets, you're in a group with 12 to 20 other people sometimes, and you have other people backing this up, like the orchestra and stage manager. In Revolush, it's basically four guys against everybody." »Read Full Article

Defense of Marriage Act ruling shows courts rejecting marriage inequality, activist says
Yesterday, the 1st Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals struck down a key provision in the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, shorthanded as DOMA. And while the ruling doesn't directly impact Colorado, where a fight over a civil unions bill killed not once but twice was the story of the just-completed legislative session, One Colorado executive director Brad Clark sees it as having symbolic import.
"I think it's just one more example of a pattern of consistent recognition by courts that marriage inequality by any government violates our core constitutional principles," Clark says.
The appeals court didn't reject DOMA as a whole. Rather, the jurists looked at the question of whether the federal government can preclude same-sex couples married in one of the jurisdictions that allows such unions (Iowa, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York and Washington, D.C., with Maryland and Washington state possibly joining the list soon) from enjoying the assorted tax benefits and the like as other married couples. Their conclusion: Such a policy is unconstitutional.
This is hardly the final word on the subject: Most observers expect the U.S. Supreme Court to eventually take on the DOMA controversy. And locally, as Clark points out, "Colorado has a state constitutional amendment that defines marriage." That's why "we're seeking a remedy through the legislature to provide gays and lesbians throughout the state with critical protections."

Clark's use of present tense is telling. While the civil unions bill was filibustered to death at the end of the regular legislature term, and then voted down by a so-called "kill committee" during a special session called by Governor John Hickenlooper in an effort to counter opponents' maneuvering, there's no doubt it will be reintroduced the next time the legislature meets.
Before that happens, an election will take place, with local senators and representatives on the ballot throughout the state along with presidential candidates and more. As such, Clark says, "Our full focus is now on November. We're going to be holding House leadership accountable for their actions. Our community and One Colorado will be fighting back."
He clearly believes momentum is on his group's side. He sees the DOMA ruling as "reinforcing what we've seen over the past many years. Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans, and a majority of Colorado voters, support the fair and equal treatment of gay and lesbian couples."
Likewise, he adds, "Court after court has affirmed that marriage discrimination against gay and lesbian Americans is unfair."

I moved over to Jersey City, NJ from Brooklyn, NY and I felt isolated since being in NYC I had vast rescources for LGBT people living with HIV/AIDS. I was talking to my best friend who moved over to the area proir to my coming and he told me about a wonderful small support group that was being held on thursday evenings at 7pm. I was afraid at first to attend not knowing what to expect but I soon found out that it was like a great small brotherhood. I found myself runnning to get their on time to get a seat because the room was tiny but cozy! HPC does great work for the Hudson County LGBT community and People Living HIV/AIDS giving them a sense of hope, direction, and socail suppot. I know that most Non-profits are flat funded and have no income but this organization works miracles on a shoe string budget! I would recommend their services to any new residents to the LGBT community of Jersey City.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
hearing the stories that come from the poeple that it has guided and helped over the years.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
hold quarterly meetings to talk to staff and clients on the morale of the organization.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
They are gay friendly and sup[portive of the Jersey City community.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
The staff varied from very freindly to very young and inexperienced, still learning how to deal and talk to people with social ills face by society.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
get supportive housing for run away teens and a food pantry and also supportive housing for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Ways to make it better...
The communication was always talked about at the center meaning not allowing groups to be phased out because a lack of communication from the board members.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
getting and keeping grants and good staff that will stay and help the community.
One thing I'd also say is that...
The board needs to be some focus groups to see how the clients are doing and what the needs are of the community that it serves.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Dallas ISD Trustee Jack Lowe to Step Aside Early, Allowing Mike Morath His Shot at Budget
Looks like Mike Morath's going to become a Dallas Independent School District trustee earlier than he'd expected. He was already running unopposed for Jack Lowe's North Dallas-Near East Dallas District 2 seat, which is one of the reasons why the district canceled the May 14 elections. (Carla Ranger and Adam Medrano are also running unopposed.)
But on the board's Thursday meeting agenda, way down at the bottom, is the following item: "Consider and Take Possible Action to Accept the Resignation of Board Trustee, Jack Lowe, District 2." Per the doc, it's more or less a done deal: "The board may not refuse to accept a resignation," according to district policy. Beneath that it says, "Consider and Take Possible Action to Approve the Appointment of________________to Fill the Vacancy in District 2 for the Unexpired Term Only."
It doesn't mention Morath, but DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander says Morath would indeed fill the seat, and he'd likely be sworn in before the board budget briefing on May 12. Says Dahlander, "This would allow [Morath] to vote in the May meeting and be part of any budget discussions during the month of May." Messages have been left for Lowe and Morath.
Update at 2:21 p.m.: Lowe tells Unfair Park he's actually been meeting with Morath "every month or two for the last year and a half," and that this transition was his idea in order to get Morath a vote in May following the board briefing that precedes it two weeks earlier. "It seems to be a more logical time to transition," Lowe says of his reason for resigning early. He says Morath has already been attending meetings. He also mentions that Morath initially was going to recruit candidates to run against Lowe, but when the sitting trustee opted not to run again, that's when Morath stepped up to take the post himself.
When asked if he'll miss being a trustee, a thankless job if ever there was one, Lowe said, "I'll miss being involved with helping kids do better in school, but I won't miss board meetings. And Mike's gonna be terrific. And, yes, there's a lot of bad that comes with the job, but if we've moved the needle on student achievement -- and we have -- then that's been reward enough."

Engineers at Washington State University are making a name for themselves in the unmanned aerial vehicle industry.
"Unmanned aerial vehicle or unmanned aerial system is the more modern term, I guess," said WSU Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Jake Leachman.
"More and more applications arise as researchers see what these planes can do," said WSU Graduate Student Chris Chaney.
"There's a lot of interest from farmers, agriculture," said Leachman.
"Wildfire monitoring is a good one," said Chaney.
"Really this vehicle is going to end up saving a lot of people money, and maybe even saving people's lives," said Leachman.
The newest UAV to come out of WSU is a 55-pound battery-powered plane called "GENII."
"'Pondus Hydrogenii' is the potential of hydrogen in Latin," said WSU Research Assistant Justin Bahrami. "So that's where the name came from."
"I do get to fly it," said Chaney. "And I don't have to do very much work because it's really easy. The plane flies great, and when it's not flying great, the auto-pilot is flying it, so I get to take off and land and that's about it."
"It sat as a box of parts for many, many months," said Bahrami. "We finally got it together, we got it up in the air and it was beautiful. It really flew."
Now that they know the plane can fly using battery power, they're shifting their focus to hydrogen power.
"This is an end-cap for the hydrogen system in the plane," said WSU Graduate of Mechanical Engineering Eric Barrow.
"The real research value in this airplane is that we're integrating liquid hydrogen into it, and that's a really novel thing that no university has done," said Bahrami.
"Hydrogen is an incredibly clean fuel, also has a lot of energy per weight," said Leachman.
"But it's hard to get that energy out," said Chaney. "So we have a PM fuel cell that converts that hydrogen and oxygen from the air into power."
"So this will be the next big step in our plane," said Barrow.
This project was funded by alumni gifts, and it took about 10 mechanical and electrical engineering students a year to put the plane together. They anticipate working on the hydrogen component for another couple months.

Key Stats: Josh Spence 3.2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 K; Dan Robertson 2-4, 2 SB (15)
Chris Rusin pitched six scoreless innings and earned his eighth win of the year on Wednesday as the Iowa Cubs defeated the Tucson Padres 4-0 at Kino Stadium. Rusin also contributed offensively with two hits and one run scored.
The Cubs took a 1-0 lead in the top of second when Brian Esposito grounded out to first base scoring Blake Lalli from third. Iowa's Tony Campana, Diory Hernandez, and manager Dave Bialas were all ejected from the game in the third inning after Campana was called out at first base on a sacrifice bunt attempt.
The Cubs began the top of the fifth with four straight hits, leading to three runs. The first run scored on Nate Samson's broken-bat RBI single to left field. Alfredo Amezaga followed with a single to bring home Rusin and Samson later scored on a double play to give Iowa a 4-0 advantage.
Jesus Merchan's single to left field in the sixth inning extended his current hitting streak to six games.
Padres starting pitcher Matt Palmer was forced to leave the game in the third inning after suffering an injury while pursuing a bunted ball. He threw 2.1 innings, allowing two hits, one unearned run, and lost his ninth contest of the season. Tucson has lost eight consecutive games.

San Antonio Missions 1 – Springfield Cardinals 6
Key Stats: Adys Portillo 4.2 IP, 4 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 1 K; Keyvius Sampson 2 IP, 1 H, 2 K; Jon Galvez 1-3, 2B, RS, BB; Rymer Liriano 1-3, 3B, RBI, BB, K, SB (29), Outfield Assist
Adys Portillo pitched better than his line score would insinuate. Portillo would retire 9 of the first 10 batters he faces with the only hit being a HR in the 3rd to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. In the 4th Portillo would run into bad luck. A leadoff seeing eye single, was followed by a slow grounder to 2nd. Rather than taking the sure out at 1st, Galvez tried for the force. The runner was called safe, and the inning became a lot tougher. Portillo would pitch out of it surrendering only 1 run.
Finally in the 5th, the flood gates would open, but only after Portillo left the game. After striking out the first batter Portillo would give up a single, than a "Texas League single" (pop up just out of reach of Galvez and Liriano). A long fly out allowed both runner to tag with 2 outs. For whatever reason they decided to intentionally walk the next hitter to load the bases. After a long AB Portillo would walk the next hitter to force in a run and end his night. Bases loaded, 2 outs, Missions down 3-0. Robert Lara then came in and cleared the bases allowing back to back singles in the gap. The inning only mercifully came to an end when Rymer Liriano threw a bullet from center to 3B to nail the runner for the final out of the inning.
Down 6-0, Missions would get on the board in the 6th, thanks to a 2 out 2B by Galvez followed by a 3B by Liriano. This would be the Missions only run of the game.
Keyvius Sampson would come on and retire 6 of the 7 batters he faced allowing only a single up the middle. It was Sampson's first relief appearance of the year, and shouldn't have to do with innings as he is currently at 105.1 IP and had 118 last year.
Courtesy of me , reporter for MadFriars.com Inland Empire 66ers 4 – Lake Elsinore Storm 5
Key Stats: Matt Andriese 5 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 5 K; Kevin Quackenbush 1 IP, 1 BB, 2 K (S, 25); Tommy Medica 3-4, 2 HR (14), 3 RS, 3 RBI; Chris Bisson 1-3, 2B, RS, BB
Lake Elsinore - For the first time since July 13 & 14, the Storm won back-to-back games with a 5-4 win over the Inland Empire Sixty Sixers. Tommy Medica went 3-for-4 on the night including two home runs that traveled over 420 feet.
The Storm picked up two of their three doubles in the first as new leadoff man Chris Bisson doubled to right field. Medica singled scoring Bisson before Everett Williams doubled giving the Storm a two run lead. Bisson is currently 17-for-40 during a nine-game hitting streak with a .295 batting average.
Luis Domoromo doubled to right to begin the second and Robert Kral hit an RBI single to right field scoring a third run for the Storm as the Sixers remain scoreless. In the third, the Sixty Sixers put some hits together to quickly even the score. Brennan Gowens hit an infield single and advanced to third on a wild pitch and a groundout by teammate Brandon Brewer. Taylor Lindsey hit an RBI infield single to put Inland Empire on the board. Lindsey stole second before Ryan Jones hit a two-run home run to tie the score at 3-3.
The tie would be broken up in the bottom of the inning when Medica smashed a 420-foot home run over the wall in right center field for the 4-3 lead for the Storm.
In the fifth, Brewer doubled to centerfield looking for the comeback. Although, he would score on a wild pitch and tie the game at 4-4, that would be the last hit for the Sixty Sixers in the game. Storm starter Matt Andriese went six innings allowing four runs on five hits striking out five batters in the outing.
Medica hit a 423-foot solo shot to lead off the sixth inning for his second home run of the game and to give the Storm the 5-4 lead that would be good enough for the win. This is the third time this season Medica has had a two-home run game. He hit two home runs in his season starting debut with the Storm on May 18 and did it again on May 27. Medica who is now officially eligible in the league is third in hitting with a .338 batting average and is tied for first with 33 doubles.
Relievers Chris Haney, Jerry Sullivan and Kevin Quackenbush would combine to retire the final 11 batters. Haney collected his first win of the season in 15 relief appearances for the Storm and Quackenbush picked up his 25th league leading save of the season.
The Storm have 19 games remaining this season and only 11 left at The Diamond. Fans can enjoy $1 BEERS & SODAS through the seventh inning tomorrow for another Thirsty Thursday. Join DJ RPM for live music as the Storm look to sweep the Sixty Sixers at 7:05 p.m. with gates opening at 6 p.m.

Fort Wayne TinCaps 9 – Lansing Lugnuts 1
Key Stats: Colin Rea 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K; Austin Hedges 4-5, HR (10), RS, 2 RBI; Jace Peterson 2-3, 2 RS, BB, 2 SB (46); Travis Whitmore 2-5, 3B, RS 3 RBI
LANSING, Mich. – A season-high-tying 16-hit attack coupled with an off night by the Lansing defense delivered the Fort Wayne TinCaps to a series-opening 9-1 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts on Wednesday night. TinCaps starter Colin Rea pitched five innings and allowed just one run, earning his fifth win of the season.
Fort Wayne (30-21, 61-60) scored first when Travis Whitmore grounded into a second-inning fielder's choice, scoring Yeison Asencio, and giving the TinCaps a 1-0 lead against starter Aaron Sanchez (8-3). Sanchez, making his first start since July 30, lasted three innings. Fort Wayne increased its early lead to 3-0 on back-to-back sacrifice flies by Tyler Stubblefield and Mike Gallic in the fifth inning. Stubblefield went 1-4 in his return from a 10-day stint on the disabled list.
The lone run allowed by Rea came in the bottom of the fifth. He allowed a leadoff double to Gustavo Pierre, who moved to third on a Shane Opitz single and scored on a throwing error by Rea. The pitcher's attempted pickoff throw to first sailed wide, sending Pierre home and Opitz to second.
Following Rea's departure, the offense continued to flourish tacking on two runs in the sixth, one run each in the seventh and eighth and two more in the ninth. Lansing (27-22, 74-44) committed three errors in the ninth inning and four total on the night, equaling its season-high for miscues in one ballgame.
Austin Hedges led the TinCaps offense with a four-for-five night, including his 10thhome run of the year. Hedges is now tied with Lee Orr for the team lead in home runs. Whitmore finished the night two-for-five with three runs batted in. The other occasion on which the TinCaps collected 16 hits was a 12-1 win on April 20thagainst the Kane County Cougars.

Tri-City Dust Devils 3 – Eugene Ems 5
Key Stats: Justin Hancock 5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K; Chris Nunn 0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K (1st ER allowed in 25 innings); Jeremy Baltz 1-2, 2B, 3 RS, 2 BB; Mallex Smith 1-3, RS, BB, SB(15)
Ems win 5-3, despite being out hit once again 9-7. However they scored 3 times in the first 3 innings thanks to a couple of 2 out RBI and 4 wild pitches.
Tri-City would come back 3-2 after 4, but the Ems would seal the game in the 5th. After a leadoff single and walk the Ems would get a swinging bunt out of Tissenbaum to put both runners in scoring position. A line drive single by Dane Phillips would plate 2 and essentially end the game.
AZL Mariners 5 – AZL Pads 1
Key Stats: Andrew Lockett 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K; Edwin Moreno 1-4, 2B, RBI; Luis Tejada 2-4; 4 more errors by the AZL team today

This review is from: Vizio E470i-A0 47" 1080p 120Hz Smart LED HD TV with Built-In WiFi Internet Apps
Pros: Came well packaged in box with wooden support, has lots of input (4 HDMIs) and basic connectivity/applications built in.
I bought this TV and then I bought a Roku and cancelled my cable subscription about six months ago, its great I have no regrets and the TV works fine and looks great as a TV and as a big display when I use it to watch videos from my home network.
Cons: This is no $2500 Samsung, and the included applications are relatively useless, but you definitely get more than what you pay for with this TV and mine works just great.READ FULL REVIEW

- - FS: 2014 EST Cartels, Size L (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/buy-sell-snowboard-equipment/51583-fs-2014-est-cartels-size-l.html)
SOLD: 2014 EST Cartels, Size L
Like the title says, for sale: Basically brand new 2014 EST Cartels, Size L. These are the ones with the Hinge. They've been mounted and ridden for only (2) easy days over Thanksgiving at Copper Mtn and Arapahoe Basin, groomers only. They are 9.9/10 condition, with only the most minor scuffs on the bases and highback foam. Nothing wrong at all with them, they just feel a little too soft for my preference and I can't justify keeping three sets of EST bindings around.
I bought them from Eastern Boarder on 11/02 for $259.99. Selling for $200.00 including basic ground shipping in CONUS. Binders will be shipped in the original Burton box with manual (such as it is) & the EST screws and toothed washers - basically everything that came with them. I will include a hardcopy of the original Eastern Boarder invoice for warranty purposes. PayPal only.
bump... OBO.
bump for price drop
2014? You mean 2013 my friend. Anyway, good deal so bump. Wish these were non EST.
Nope they're 2014, that's why they're limited edition
I am looking at some reflex limited cartels at the moment.
Just out of curiosity what did you find them too soft for?
I mean what type of riding?
Also how much do you weigh?
What board were they on?
Your other bindings that you will be keeping?
Sorry for the 20 questions, just want to get a feel for if they will be too soft for my needs or not.
Well I was updating this post to show sold anyway.
First off, to NoOtherOptions, Yes they are "2014" - look at the box in the 1st pic. Go ask Burton how they promo stuff...
Q:Just out of curiosity what did you find them too soft for? I mean what type of riding?
I ride a '12 162W Custom X and a '12 164 Barracuda. The 'Cuda gets ridden anytime there is more than a few inches of fresh, the CX the rest of the time. I ride all-mtn, no park, but do like going fast and hitting some natural features on the way down. I don't mind bumps and trees when there some fresh pow underfoot.
Q: Also how much do you weigh?
200lbs, 6'0", size 12 Vans Cirro's, regular stance ~1/2" wider than ref, setback as necessary at 18°/-15°
Q: What board were they on?
I rode them on the CX for two days over Thanksgiving at Copper Mtn and Arapahoe Basin in CO on hard-ass man made crap and I think it was enough to make up my mind. I'm an east coaster, and unfortunately that's what we get sometimes. I really wanted to like them, but the binders were just a little too free feeling for me. I might have liked them more in pow, but I couldn't justify keeping them when my other ones do just fine. The straps (Reactstraps IIRC?)are total money, though. Super comfy.
Q: Your other bindings that you will be keeping?
I'm back to using a old pair of 2012 EST Cartels - they feel stiffer laterally (in all directions, really) and give me the "locked-in" feeling I like when riding dynamically. If you search by name, you'll see some other hinge Cartel posts I made with comparison pictures.
Good hunting.

Look out Skype, Google's calling
- 12 Nov 08, 10:45 GMT
Overnight, and with little fanfare, Google has released another product which should help
in its quest for total domination of the web. It's added voice and video to its Gmail chat service. For Skype, the service which has become synonymous wih internet telephony, this is something of a wake-up call.
Once you download the plug-in from Google, the idea is that you can then call - and even see - the people you contact with the Gmail chat service. I can't yet tell you how it works because I'm writing this in bed at 0645, and I feel it's a little early to call.
But Google already has many millions using its Gmail, and they may now constitute a big audience for a voice service. Of course relatively few people with a Gmail address use the chat function at the moment - but they may now think it is worthwhile.
For eBay, which owns Skype, this is not great news. It may well have nearly 300 million users - but it is still struggling to show that it can turn a decent profit from them. Now along comes yet another copycat service - but this time it's badged with the best-known brand on the web.
But Microsoft too will be watching this move with unease. A few weeks after it announced its big move into cloud computing - or "software plus services" as it prefers to call it - its deadly rival has added yet another application to its web offering. From now on, you'll be invited to spend more and more of your time writing, reading, sharing and talking in Google's cloud. Microsoft - which of course is very well entrenched in the chat business with MSN messenger - will be trying to convince us that a Windows world is a better place to hang out.

I tried the service last night, and, after getting my friend to install the plugin also, it worked...minus the sound. It has a long way to go before Skype needs to be worried.
Where is the conference calls feature? PC-to-Phone calls? Google-Chat enabled phones? Skype already has this and it works seamlessly.
As for cloud computing, I agree with Richard Stallman when he said was stupid. I already have a cloud computing for my laptop: its called a carrying case. The benefit is that no-one controls my data except me.

I don't know why but sometimes i found Rory Cellan-Jones very much biased toward Google, MAN Google is not answer to every questions, its just now matter of time Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo and then they will have 85% of messenger market and their service in that area is much better than Google talk and their new video thing. I Google has to worry about ZOHO which is coming with great force, they have products which are not "just" way better than Google, man Google is just using their names and thats all, and i remember one thing which once Microsoft people say, Google has just make only one Products which makes them great and that is Search and other product of their simply SUCKS.Google look at your BACK ZOHO is coming!

As much as you complain that the Google products are not of the quality of their competition I'm afraid that Googles branding and a 'one stop shop' for all of your service will win over the smaller organisations with one high quality product. That's just the way it is. Peter Byrne I hope that you have had a look at the security risks of your personel 'Cloud' :-)

Try actually reading before commenting next time. Microsoft's idea of cloud computing is not the same as Googles, what MS means is far more like the service that BT and Amazon provide in remove processing and storage where the user effectively rents processing power on an as need basis.
Google on the other hand talk of it as an online document repositary and editing service. Nowhere enar the same thing.

5 - You seem to be a little out of date. As well as the end-user targetted Google Apps system you refer to they also have the Google App Engine system that runs other people's code in Googles data centres. It's not identical to either MS's offering or Amazon's EC2, but it's in the same general area.
Furthermore MS have their 'Office Live Workspace' system in beta at the moment that provides online analogues of the main Office apps that run in a web browser, just like Google Apps.
So, in fact, both Google and MS have both 'run your code on our servers' and 'run apps in a browser' varieties of cloud computing on offer, so they actually are pretty much the same.

There you are, typing into your cloud based Word 2007, just about to paste something, considering whether you have time for a coffee, knowing this has to be done by the morning... and Virgin/BT/whoever decides that it's time for you to become slightly balder and have an early night...
I don't trust hard-drives, usb etc storage. I always have a paper copy of everything - just in case - and I certainly don't like the idea of my applications being dependent upon a working internet connection. I shall remain ground based.

Having recently had a series of interviews with Skype, I can tell you that there are big changes afoot.
Firstly, there is to be a wave of redundancies linked to the EBay clear-out (especially in its european HQ).
Secondly, EBay are lining up to sell Skype. Why? Ebay paid far too much money for Skype at the time but it is now the fastest growing part of the eBay empire with a turnover in excess of 350mm USD annually.
Expect strong interest from the likes of Google or another major player.
Why would Google buy Skype? Google Talk
has the second mover problem (everyone already has Skype and why should we switch). Secondly, Skype have a massive user base and are making strong inroads into the corporate market. This could be a key player in driving the Cloud computing war which is just beginning.

I was having voice chats via a Gmail sign in years ago - Obviously I'm missing something here, because I can't see what's new? Admittedly I've not tried it for ages, so perhaps that was a beta service since lost? I must have a look and see if it's still set up when I've finished work. Meantime if anyone can shed any light on that I'd be interested to hear.
MSN and Yahoo are for kids. If you want a proper cross-platform service offering video/audio/text and calls in or out to a 'proper' telephone, you need Skype.

addendum ... I have 'Google Talk' configured in my iMac's iChat client, plus two contacts I used to have occasional voice chats with. We're going back maybe three yers here though.
It makes use of a gmail email address and the Jabber message protocol.

I had my wife install the new google voice plugin on her mac and her sister 400mi away install the plugin on her PC and they were up and running doing video chat within 20 minutes, using the gmail page as an easy and familiar springboard to get it started.
Contrast this with the hours wasted (unsuccessfully) trying to get iChat to talk to video AIM, problems with firewalls, userids, obscure windows port settings etc. (granted most problems at the windows end)
Like almost all google apps... video chat just worked, and the price is great (i.e. free)
That's why Google will continue to dominate in almost all areas they venture into and I say good luck to them, they deserve their continued success - they have the superior products in the marketplace.

In fact, Skype's doing pretty well - revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was $143M US, and it's been growing every quarter. Skype contributes about 10% of eBay's total revenue.

So will Google entice people into combing their hair for making a call? Video chat is known tech, but the same cant be said of consumer preferences or business models surrounding it. Google has the wherewithal to get into every aspect/application of the web, but then it should accept consequent success ratios. I for one don't believe that the world is waiting for yet another video chat, unless the business model is based on basic instinct.
For Skype, this is no alarm. Yahoo chat, MSN, AOL and several others have been doing this for ages. And they have peacefully coexisted with Skype.
If I were Skype, I would probably be more scared when Google does this on Android (rather than on PC). Now, that's something that Google for a rainy day ...

It is going to take something big from Google to take users away from Skype. This report by Rory doesnt show what that big thing is.
However, now Google is a player in the mobile phone space, perhaps we can see some alignment between their VOIP and Mobile services - free calls to ANY line, ANYWHERE, anyone?!

I've had Google talk for ages - I swapped to google Talk Beta ... has to be over a year now, because I used to spend a lotof time talking to firneds and skype didn't seem to like it when a call went over 3 hours.. it would randomly make people talk like Daleks and then hang up.
Google was so simple and easy it just worked and didn't gof nearly an resourced. I could also use the mini chat option in the Gmail inbox at college to talk to friends when MSN and Yahoo were blocked.
I don't use many voice chatting systems any more (I now work on phones so I don't want to go home and be on one!!!) but I may have a look at Google talk now its out of Beta.

BRISTOL — As a child, you may have been given a lollipop or a sticker after braving a doctor's visit. At Bristol's Mountain Health Center, you'll probably get a few tomatoes and a bag of spinach.
The modern twist on giving a treat after a doctor's visit is feasible because of a new garden outside the Health Center office featuring healthy options such as tomatoes, spinach, arugula and kale.

BRISTOL — Bristol police recently issued a log recounting the large number of incidents with which they dealt during the month of May — some of great importance, others routine police work.
The Independent already published part of that log. Also during that month, Bristol police:
• On May 24 at 2:44 p.m. received a wallet found by a citizen in the park. Police located the owner and returned the wallet.
BRISTOL — Organizers for the Three Day Stampede say they've collected a record number of donations for this year's event, and they're looking for more.
"As of today we have collected over five tractor-trailer loads full of everything from furniture to home décor to sporting goods for your shopping pleasure," founder and organizer Bonita Bedard said in a statement. "Saturday's drop-offs alone filled a 48-foot trailer, leaving us scrambling to store the remainder of the items."
BRISTOL — Bristol police are investigating a series of car break-ins that occurred around dawn on July 16. Police responded to an East Street home shortly after 6 a.m., where a resident reported seeing a man searching through vehicles.
The man left before police arrived, and the resident told police that items had been taken from the resident's vehicle. Police received a second call from another East Street resident, who also reported that items had been stolen from a vehicle.
BRISTOL — The reigning champions' five-year winning streak was snapped last Friday at the 36th annual running of the Great Bristol Outhouse Race.
The Village Creeme Stand team was victorious, breaking the Snap's Restaurant team's supremacy in Bristol's unique and beloved Independence Day competition.
BRISTOL — Bristol police recently issued a log of the large number of incidents with which they dealt during the month of May — some of great importance, others routine police work.
For instance, on May 8 police responded to the town park, where three youths were reportedly "mooning" passing cars. The officer found no mooners.
Also during the first part of that month, Bristol police:
BRISTOL — David Durgin is a busy man.
The Bristol resident owns Mainly Metals, a machine and fabrication shop that uses a unique water jet technology to cut materials of all sorts.
"It's a jet of water with garnet mixed in," Durgin explains. "The jet is about 1/30,000 of an inch in diameter — the size of a mechanical pencil lead — that comes out around 50,000 pounds per square inch."
What that adds up to is one extremely precise machine.
BRISTOL — Sitting outside his studio in downtown Bristol, greeting fellow business owners and shoppers, Rory Jackson seems to know everyone in town.
"It can be distracting," the artist says of his studio's public location, "but it's really important to me to have the energy, the interaction with life."
Jackson, 31, has been working out of this location, on Main Street across from Bristol Bakery, for two years now.
BRISTOL — The office of the Vermont Attorney General on June 23 filed a brief in a Bristol gravel pit case currently before the Vermont Supreme Court, arguing that the Environmental Court has set a dangerous precedent by approving a proposal by Lathrop that had not been vetted by the Act 250 process.

Post review, 15k more clear NET
By S Mannar Mannan - COIMBATORE
Published: 15th November 2012 10:43 AM
Last Updated: 15th November 2012 10:43 AM
More than 15,000 National Eligibility Test (NET) candidates in the country, who were earlier declared ineligible for lecturership, have been declared qualified in the tough-to-crack examination after a review by a five-member committee constituted by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
On September 18, when the UGC declared the results of the NET conducted on June 24, only 40,332 candidates of the over 5.71 lakh were declared eligible for appointment as lecturers in colleges and universities in the country. Besides, 3,625 candidates had qualified for Junior Research Fellowship-cum-Lecturership.
However, thousands of other candidates who had scored the minimum eligibility marks in individual papers, originally prescribed by the UGC, were in for a rude shock as the agency had incorporated a new overall minimum aggregate score for passing the examination.
As per this, Open Competition category candidates had to score an aggregate of 65 per cent, OBC candidates 60 per cent and SC/ST candidates 55 per cent to clear the examination. Following a nationwide furore over the decision, the UGC constituted a five-member committee headed by V S Chauhan to revisit the NET result.
Acting on the committee's recommendation restoring the original eligibility criteria, the UGC on Tuesday released the supplementary results announcing that 15,178 additional candidates have cleared the examination. This includes 1,685 candidates who have become eligible for JRF and 13,493 candidates have qualified for lecturership.
N R Sujith Soori, an assistant professor at a private college said, "Now, I am very happy that I have cleared the NET in my first attempt, as per the supplementary list."
