Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Babies who are put to sleep on their stomachs are 12.9 times more likely to die from SIDS than babies who sleep on their backs. A soft mattress or lots of bedding can create a small enclosure around the baby's face, trapping her low-oxygen, exhaled air, which could eventually contribute to SIDS.
Some people also believe that SIDS is related to immunizations because most vaccinations are administered during the same period of time that most babies die of SIDS: between 2 and 4 months. However, there is no evidence of a link between SIDS and common childhood immunizations. Recent research reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that any appearance of a connection between the two is merely a coincidence.
SIDS is diagnosed by a process of elimination; it is determined to be the cause of death only after all other possible causes of death have been ruled out through an autopsy, examination of the death scene, and a complete review of the infant's medical history. This helps distinguish SIDS deaths from those resulting from accidents, abuse, and previously undiagnosed conditions, such as cardiac or metabolic disorders.
You can decrease the likelihood that your baby will fall victim to SIDS by avoiding the risk factors mentioned above and following these tips:
Put your baby to sleep on his back, even though he may sleep more soundly on his stomach. Infants who sleep on their stomachs and sides have a higher rate of SIDS than infants who sleep on their backs.
Use a firm mattress in your baby's crib and keep the crib clear of coverings-including sheets and blankets-pillows, bumper pads, and toys. Soft mattresses and heavy bedding are associated with SIDS.
Do not over-dress your baby for bed and keep the room at a temperature that is comfortable for you. Excess clothing and overheating may increase the risk for SIDS.
Breastfeed your baby if possible. Breast milk decreases the incidence of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Studies show that breastfed babies have a lower SIDS rate than formula-fed babies.
Avoid exposing your baby to people with respiratory infections. Carefully clean anything that comes in contact with your baby. Have people wash their hands before holding or playing with your baby. SIDS often occurs in association with relatively minor respiratory and gastrointestinal infections (vomiting and diarrhea).
Consider using home monitoring systems (apnea/bradycardia monitors) if you have a high-risk infant.

Photographer Claims Alec Baldwin Attacked Him
A New York Daily News photographer claims that Alec Baldwin attacked him this morning while he was trying to snap pictures of the star. Marcos Santos, the photographer, has already headed to a police station in Manhattan to formally press charges.
Baldwin took to Twitter for his side of the story, posting, "A "photographer" almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning. #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded" and then later, "I suppose if the offending paparazzi was wearing a hoodie and I shot him, it would all blow over..."
In a bizarre twist, Baldwin was leaving a marriage license bureau before the attack, to legally wed yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas. Goran Veljic, a freelance photographer on the scene, told the New York Post, "When Baldwin exited with Thomas, he spotted Santos and other photographers, and he put up his hands, he was really mad,"

Katy Perry: 'I Would Love To Have Children'
Not only does Katy Perry want kids with Russell Brand, but she wouldn't mind having more than one!
Katy was on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and she was asked if she had baby plans following her California Dreams Tour.
She said, "I would love to have children. I think that's one of the reasons you get married, and especially to the person that you marry. You think, 'Hmmm, that person is going to be a good partner, a good parent.' But I'm not sure it's yet. We'll see, you know?"
She then joked, "If it doesn't hurt the first time, I'll keep popping them out."
As for busy schedules keeping them apart, Katy says she and Brand have set up a two-week limit on time apart. "I saw him yesterday... two weeks, that's the longest we ever go. Anything longer than that is not fun."
Katy Perry's recent appearance at the Europe Music Awards set off rumors that we was already expecting, thanks to a small bump under her tight outfit.

Market Beat
|FAQs ON DERIVATIVES
What is a swap?
Classification of swaps is done on the basis of what the payments are based on. The different types of swaps are as follows.
Interest rate swaps
Additionally, there will be a spread of a pre-determined amount of basis points. This is just one type of interest rate swap. Sometimes payments tied to floating rates are used for interest rate swaps. The notional principal is the exchange of interest payments based on face value. The notional principal itself is not exchanged. On the day of each payment, the party who owes more to the other makes a net payment. Only one party makes a payment.
Currency swaps
Currency swaps help eliminate the differences between international capital markets. Interest rates swaps help eliminate barriers caused by regulatory structures. While currency swaps result in exchange of one currency with another, interest rate swaps help exchange a fixed rate of interest with a variable rate. The needs of the parties in a swap transaction are diametrically different. Swaps are not traded or listed on exchange but they do have an informal market and are traded among dealers.
A swap is a contract, which can be effectively combined with other type of derivative instruments. An option on a swap gives the party the right, but not the obligation to enter into a swap at a later date.
Commodity swaps
Commodity swaps are used for hedging against
A Company that uses commodities as input may find its profits becoming very volatile if the commodity prices become volatile. This is particularly so when the output prices may not change as frequently as the commodity prices change. In such cases, the company would enter into a swap whereby it receives payment linked to commodity prices and pays a fixed rate in exchange. A producer of a commodity may want to reduce the variability of his revenues by being a receiver of a fixed rate in exchange for a rate linked to the commodity prices.
Equity swaps
What are the components of a swap price?
Benchmark price: Swap rates are based on a series of benchmark instruments. They may be quoted as a spread over the yield on these benchmark instruments or on an absolute interest rate basis. In the Indian markets the common benchmarks are MIBOR, 14, 91, 182 & 364 day T-bills, CP rates and PLR rates.
Liquidity: Liquidity, which is function of supply and demand, plays an important role in swaps pricing. This is also affected by the swap duration. It may be difficult to have counterparties for long duration swaps, especially so in India.
Transaction Costs: Transaction costs include the cost of hedging a swap. Say in case of a bank, which has a floating obligation of 91 day T. Bill. Now in order to hedge the bank would go long on a 91 day T. Bill. For doing so the bank must obtain funds. The transaction cost would thus involve such a difference.
Yield on 91 day T. Bill - 9.5%
Cost of fund (e.g.- Repo rate) 10%
The transaction cost in this case would involve 0.5%
Credit Risk: Credit risk must also be built into the swap pricing. Based upon the credit rating of the counterparty a spread would have to be incorporated. Say for e.g. it would be 0.5% for an AAA rating.

P0012 BMW A Camshaft Position Timing Over Retarded Bank 1
- Faulty camshaft actuator
- Low engine oil level
- Camshaft actuator harness is open or shorted
- Camshaft actuator circuit poor electrical connection
- Possible Lack/Loss of power
- Possible Engine rough idle
Engine Management Systems (EMS) use the camshaft position sensor to manage sequential fuel injection and as part of misfire diagnosis. The EMS constantly monitors the number of pulses on the signal circuit. The EMS compares the number of camshaft sensor reference pulses and the number of crankshaft position sensor reference pulses received. If the EMS receives an incorrect number of pulses, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) should be stored in the EMS. Some engine management systems will then default to multi-port or "gang-fire" injector operation. The camshaft position sensor signal is required to sequence the injector operation to the proper cylinder timing. If the camshaft position sensor or circuit is faulty most engines will start.
Note:1. Need to look up additional OBD-II Trouble Codes(DTC), use the search box. Enter the 5 character trouble codes in the search box and submit the search. You can repeat the search as many times as you need, one diagnostic code per search.
2. Don't assume a particular OBDii code means the same for other automotive manufacturers as there are many manufacturer specific codes in use.
3. If your trouble codes are for a different automotive, select that vehicle series before searching for the diagnostic codes because not all OBD2 codes used by one manufacture are used by the other manufactures. The search only looks at OBD codes valid for the currently selected manufacturer.
4. This code is for reference only.
5. Help us improve CarObdCode.com. Tell us fix the code. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

- 1 doz [use 6] Crystal, Bead, Faceted Bicone, 6mm
- 1 0.5 gross [use 2] French Clip, Plated
- 1 pkg of 100 [use 6] Head Pin, 2", Thin
- 1 pkg of 100 [use 14] Jump Ring, Copper, Oval, Heavy
- 1 pkg of 100 [use 6] Jump Ring, Oval, 3x4mm
- 1 ea Liver of Sulfur, XL Gel, 2 oz.
- 1 spool [use six 5cm pieces] SP Wire, Copper, 16ga, Round, 32'
- Chasing Hammer
- Zebra Stripe, Six-Piece Set
- Steel 4" Square Block
- Wubbers™, Large Square Mandrel Pliers
Method 1 – Cut then bend…
- String selected beads on the head or eye pin.
- Keep about 8mm (1/3") of wire. Cut off any extra.
- Use round nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the bead, at the arrow, and bend sharply away from you.
- Now use small round nose pliers to grasp the tip of the wire, and bend it smoothly around the pliers down close to the beads.
Method 2 – Bend then cut…
- String selected beads on the head or eye pin.
- Use round nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the bead, at the arrow, and bend sharply away from you.
- Keep about 8mm (1/3") of wire. Cut off any extra.
- Now use small round nose pliers to grasp the tip of the wire, and bend it smoothly around the pliers down close to the beads.
Wire-wrapped beaded head or eye pins:
(For best results, use both chain-nose and round-nose pliers.)
- Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of the bead.
- Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire between the bead and the bend (less for fine-gauge wire, more for heavy wire or more wraps).
- Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the tip of the pliers. (For different sizes of loops, bend the wire around thinner or thicker portions of the pliers' tip.)
- Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step into a series of half wraps.
- Trim excess with flush cutters.
Jump-Ring Hint:
- When you open and close jump rings, twist sideways instead of "ovalling" them. This keeps their shape better, which makes them easier to close all the way.
Chain Links:
- Open un-soldered chain links the same way you would a jump ring.
Double Jump Rings:
- Double them up for extra security, or a chain-mail look.
How to Use Crimps:
- For all crimping, use firm pressure, but don't squeeze so hard that you cut the stringing material or break your tools.
- To simply flatten a crimp bead or tube, use fl at-nose pliers.
- To achieve a smaller, rounder crimp, use crimp pliers.
- Use a crimp cover to hide the crimp inside what looks like a 3-4mm round bead.
- Small center-crimp tubes may require needle-nose pliers or fine-tipped fl at-nose pliers.
- Use the outside indent to shape the crimp into an oval.
- With the cord on either side of the indent, use the inner indent to secure the crimp around the cord.
- Move the crimp back to the outer indent to fold it into a round shape.
Bullion (aka French Wire):
- Cut two pieces in precise equal lengths (approx ½-¾"), add one crimp or bead and one piece of bullion to the end of wire cable. Loop the cable through one portion of clasp and back through the crimp or bead. Pull gently until the bullion is inside finishing bead or flush against the crimp. Crimp closed.

Chargers' Phillips added to AFC Pro Bowl roster
San Diego Chargers OLB Shaun Phillips will join the AFC Pro Bowl squad in Hawaii, replacing Pittsburgh Steelers OLB James Harrison.
"It's huge just because of the fact that I know the work I put in," Phillips said. "In my eyes, I try to play at a Pro Bowl level every year. It's just good. It will give me additional motivation to keep working and never be satisfied."INTOLERABLE Check out our list of the top 10
most disliked people in sports.
Phillips finished the season with a team-best 11 sacks and 19 pressures. Besides chasing opposing quarterbacks, he played stout against the run and in coverage, making 66 tackles and leading the linebackers with seven passes defensed. His 11 sacks are the second-most for his career and moved him into fourth in Chargers history with 56.5 for his career.
Phillips earned AFC defensive player of the week honors for his performance against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 3. He made four sacks and returned an interception for a touchdown in a 41-10 win.
It's the first Pro Bowl invite for Phillips, who is the only representative from a defense that finished No. 1 in the NFL in fewest yards allowed. He'll join QB Philip Rivers and G Kris Dielman as Chargers representatives. TE Antonio Gates also was selected but will not play because of a foot injury.
"One of the biggest things that kind of bothered me a little bit, I know it's a team game, but we've got to have at least one player that can represent us because of the fact that we did finish No. 1 in total defense," said Phillips, who credited his defensive teammates for making his job easier.
"This is a testament to all of the players and the coaches that we are a good defense and we will continue to be a good defense. We have to have at least one representative."

So you've had your appetite whetted by the Potted Meat Museum (as seen here), been mildly puzzled by the Toaster Museum, and found yourself subtly repulsed by the Mountain Dew Memorabilia Museum. You've stumbled through the sparsely populated halls of The Ohio Power Transformers Museum, and wondered why exactly Martin has so many owls. Once, on a dare, you sneaked a look at the AOL CD Preservation Guild and Museum, and came away with only a lingering pain in your knee when the wind is from the south.
And yet there you are, spending nights alone, bathed in the blue glow of the screen, wondering where you can find more disturbing collections. Fine, here.

A Message for Windows XP Users
When Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP in April of this year that meant there would be no more security patches, and no more updates produced for it. This leaves Windows XP users unprotected from new threats. Most software vendors have taken notice that Windows XP will be left in a vulnerable state, and have begun moving their software support away from Windows XP users.
If you already have a computer running Windows 7, or Windows 8, or a Windows XP computer with one of the new browsers listed below, you dont have to change anything; your eBanking experience should not change at all! The security of our online banking system in not in any way in jeopardy, wed just like to make a few suggestions for what you can do to prevent yourself from losing access to your online banking because of the loss of the software support.
You may begin to notice some changes while attempting to access your online banking if youre still an owner of a Windows XP computer, which may include garbled or unreadable text, images that dont fit the screen properly, or the complete inability to login to eBanking.
Since there are no more updates being produced by Microsoft for Windows XP, Internet Explorer version 8 is the latest version that it will run. Over the coming months this means that there will be an elimination of compatibility with Internet Explorer version 8.
What can I do?
The easiest (and most expensive) option is to upgrade your PC. Edmonton State Bank isnt the only place youll start having issues using your older PC. Lots of secure websites such as credit card companies, online shopping, and personal email server such as Yahoo! and Google, have started moving away from supporting older browsers as well.
You may be able to speak with a computer technician to see if your computer is built to handle a modern Operating System such as Windows 7, or Windows 8. This option would be cheaper than buying a whole new PC, but would still get your software current and up to date but this option would not apply to all older PCs.
Another option (the cheapest its free!) is to download a new browser. The main problem software vendors are having is how to secure a browser that is so old and out of date. So instead of making patches for it, they are just giving up and moving on to secure newer browsers. There are several options for free browsers that can be downloaded, that are updated nearly every week with new security patches, and the latest threat detection.

• Gunns has rejected the Lara Giddings State Government compo offer (max $23m), ABC Radio says ...
Tasmanian timber deal still up in air
Updated September 05, 2011 22:43:21
Tasmanian timber company Gunns is refusing to confirm it has formally rejected the Tasmanian Government's commercial settlement for its native forest contracts.
The Government issued a two-line statement late on Monday saying Gunns had rejected the undisclosed offer after considering it for more than a week.
It has cast another shadow over the $276 million inter-governmental agreement to end logging in most native forests, and raises questions about the Government's relationship with the timber company.
Gunns is refusing to comment on the Government's brief statement, other than to say the process is ongoing.
The sum has not been disclosed but the premier has indicated the maximum amount Gunns could receive under the forest agreement is $23 million.
The Greens' forestry spokesman Kim Booth says it is disappointing the company continues to hold up the process.
"What I'd say to both the state and federal governments is that they need to proceed with the IGA and not allow Gunns and Forestry Tasmania, who have both been behaving as wreckers in this process, to prevent the IGA going ahead," he said.
• Matthew Denholm, The Australian: Gunns fells ALP's deal on forests
THE landmark Tasmanian forest peace deal proudly unveiled by Julia Gillard last month is dead unless Canberra can intervene to rescue a compensation deal with Gunns.
The timber company last night rejected an offer of compensation for surrender of its rights over the lion's share of logging in Tasmania's native forests.
Without the surrender of these rights - more than 210,000 cu m of native sawlogs each year - the Prime Minister's $276 million federal-state forest peace deal cannot proceed in its current form.
The freeing up of Gunns' contracts is vital if the deal - touted by Ms Gillard as resolving 30 years of conflict - is to deliver its promise of 430,000ha of new national parks and sufficient resource for surviving timber companies.
Canberra, which had left the Gunns negotiations to the Giddings state government in Tasmania against the advice of conservationists, is now scrambling to rescue the talks or lose the entire forest peace package.
"The state government has been advised by Gunns Ltd of their decision to reject our offer of commercial settlement," a Tasmanian government spokesman said last night. "The state and federal governments are committed to the forestry intergovernmental agreement and we are working together to find an alternative pathway to resolve outstanding issues with the company."
Gunns declined to comment in detail, but suggested it was still willing to talk. "We will update the market when the process is completed," a spokesman said.
Deputy Premier Bryan Green last night told The Australian he believed the forest deal could be salvaged. "We are considering our position both the state and commonwealth but the imperative is to keep the IGA underway," he said.
Speaking before late-night crisis talks with federal Environment Minister Tony Burke, Mr Green denied the forest deal was dead. He stood by the state's position that it would not top-up the offer to Gunns.

• Andrew Darby, The Age: Gunns rejects crucial financial offer
TROUBLED forestry company Gunns has rejected a financial offer from the Tasmanian government seen as key to the future of the state's timber industry.
The settlement for exiting native forest logging was critical both to Gunns's future operations and to a landmark forests peace settlement.
''The state government has been formally advised by Gunns Limited of their decision to reject our offer of commercial settlement,'' a spokesman for Premier Lara Giddings said yesterday.
The settlement was needed to unlock funding for contractors squeezed by the exit from native forests in a $276 million federal-state package.
Rejection comes with Gunns into the fifth week of a stock exchange trading halt, called for the settlement negotiations, with its share price at an all-time low of 20.5¢.
The settlement, covering tens of millions of dollars, was meant to extinguish Gunns's legal rights over native forest contracts with Forestry Tasmania.

• Dinah Arndt, The Examiner: Rejected: Gunns not impressed with offer
GUNNS LTD last night rejected a payout offer from the state government, fuelling uncertainty in Tasmania's forestry industry.
Neither party would comment on the amount offered in return for residual rights of the company's logging contracts, or the reasons it was rejected.
The offer was made a week ago under a clause in the $276-million forestry intergovernmental agreement.
A spokesman for Premier Lara Giddings said the state and federal governments remained committed to that agreement.
"We are now working together to find an alternative pathway to resolve outstanding issues with the company," he said.
"We certainly have not closed the door on a commercial settlement with Gunns, but have to talk to the Commonwealth about what that means."
Gunns spokesman Matt Horan said the company would not comment until the process was complete.
Forestry Tasmania was last night seeking information.
"It's obviously a disappointing outcome, but we guess that there would be reasons an agreement couldn't be reached and are keen to understand those reasons," Forestry Tasmania's Ken Jeffreys said.
Greens forestry spokesman Kim Booth urged both governments to let Forestry Tasmania and Gunns fight out a commercial settlement and get on with the wider aims of the agreement.
"Don't let the contractors or environment groups be held to ransom by the recalcitrance of a company like Gunns," he said.
He said not a cent above the commercial value of residual rights, as determined by an independent probity auditor, should be paid.
Opposition forestry spokesman Peter Gutwein described the news as a "body blow" to the forestry agreement.
It has been a month since Gunns cited uncertainty about the payout when it suspended trading.
Australian Securities Exchange's Leeanne Bland said there was no deadline attached to suspension of trading, but companies were obligated to update the market and keep in close contact with ASX.
• Earlier, Kim Booth, Greens Forestry Spokesperson MR:
The Tasmanian Greens today called for Gunns to quit stalling and make a decision on the buyback of its native timber contracts, so that cash-strapped contractors can finally start to receive compensation.
The Greens forestry spokesman Kim Booth said that Gunns failure to act was holding up progress on the implementation of the Forests Intergovernmental Agreement.
"It's time for Gunns to get on with it and make a decision. Tasmanians are getting tired of this issue, and are not interested in listening to more political grandstanding and conflict. They just want results," Mr Booth said.
"Nobody wants this more than the contractors, who just want to be able to make a dignified exit from the industry. I've lost count of the number of workers I've spoken to who are ready to hand in their quotas and are utterly fed up with Gunns' slow progress," Mr Booth said.
"Unfortunately the actions of some industry bullies have meant the majority of these contractors have been too afraid to speak out publicly."
"A large number of these hard working contractors are on the brink of foreclosure. They need immediate reassurance that financial help is on its way, not more stalling by the company that put them in this position to start with."
"The Forests Intergovernmental Agreement is as good a deal as Tasmania can get. It will see large areas of valuable wilderness spared from the loss-making woodchip mills, along with a huge boost to Tasmania's economy through the $276 million in federal money for immediate relief for contractors and regional development."
"This is a historic opportunity to put the entire forest industry in Tasmania on a sustainable footing. I'm calling on Gunns to make actions out of the words that they like to throw around so glibly, such as social responsibility, and take what is a fair and reasonable buy-back to get out of native logging," Mr Booth said.

Best Of 2011 - Top Ten Blu-rays
1. "Chillerama: Unrated" (Image Entertainment)
As if being a tasty anthology flick wasn't enough, "Chillerama" is a real love letter to the drive-in movie days of old. Filled with more than enough gore (Joe Lynch's 'Zom B Movie' is seriously sinfully disgusting!), guts (Tim Sullivan's 'I Was A Teenage Werebear' breaks ALL boundaries!), goofs (Adam Green keeps the laughs coming with 'The Diary of Anne Frankenstein!') and goo (via the giant sperm of Adam Rifkin's 'Wadzilla!') to keep the midnight crowd going, "Chillerama" is the true hidden hoot of 2011. Combine that with some notable featurettes and one uber-cool four person tag-team commentary track that shows just how unique each of the "Chillerama" directors is and you've got the best B-movie Blu-ray buy of the year.

Noise and Power Consumption
We measured the level of noise produced by the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX's cooler with a digital sound-level meter Velleman DVM1326 (0.1dB resolution) using A-curve weighing. At the time of our tests the level of ambient noise in our lab was 36dBA and the level of noise at a distance of 1 meter from a working testbed with a passively cooled graphics card inside was 40dBA. We got the following results:
The new cooler from ATI is almost noiseless and is only 0.8dBA louder than the passive solution most of the time. It's only after long working in 3D mode that the fan begins to work at a higher speed, and the level of noise grows to 47.1dBA, which is still somewhat quieter than the GeForce 7950 GX2. At a distance of 5 centimeter the soft rumble of the fan bearing is the main source of noise.
The cooler is indeed silent subjectively and only reminds of itself when the GPU temperature reaches a certain threshold value. The spectrum of its noise is different from the Radeon X1900 XTX's cooler and without that characteristic "plastic" tone. The noise seems quieter and softer despite the reading of the sound-level meter. So, ATI had succeeded in developing a very quiet and efficient cooler. There's no need to replace it unless you plan to equip your gaming platform with a liquid or cryogen cooling system.
Then we measured the power consumption of the new graphics card on the following testbed:
- Intel Pentium 4 560 CPU (3.60GHz, 1MB L2 cache)
- Intel Desktop Board D925XCV
- PC4300 DDR2 SDRAM (2 x 512MB)
- Samsung SpinPoint SP1213C hard disk drive (120GB, Serial ATA-150, 8MB cache)
- Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2, DirectX 9.0c
The mainboard in this testbed was specially modified: we connected measurement shunts into the power lines of the PCI Express x16 slot and equipped them with connectors to attach measuring instruments. We also added such a shunt to a 2xMolex → PCI Express adapter. The measurements were performed with a Velleman DVM850BL multimeter (0.5% accuracy).
We loaded the GPU by launching the first SM3.0/HDR graphics test from 3DMark06 and running it in a loop at 1600x1200 resolution and with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering. The Peak 2D load was created by means of the 2D Transparent Windows test from Futuremark's PCMark05 benchmarking suite. The results follow below:
The power consumption of the new Radeon X1950 XTX is nearly that of its predecessor, being only 4W higher under Max 3D load and 3.5W higher in Peak 2D mode. But the use of GDDR4 and the changes in the power circuit design have led to a different distribution of load across the lines:
It has become somewhat more balanced, although it is still the external +12V line that is under the highest load in 3D mode. Note also the increased load on the +3.3V line which used to supply 5.5W previously, but now supplies 6.5W.
Unfortunately, we can't directly compare the Radeon X1950 XTX and the GeForce 7950 GX2 in this test because the latter refuses to work on the mainboard installed in our testbed. These cards should have comparable power consumption, though. By our estimate, the dual-chip solution from Nvidia consumes about 110-120W. Not yet having any accurate data about the power consumption of the GeForce 7950 GX2 we have to name the Radeon X1950 XTX the most voracious premium-class graphics card of today. Anyway, one such card can be easily fed by any high-quality 450W ATX 2.0 power supply. For building Radeon X1950-based CrossFire systems ATI recommends using a 550W or higher power supply. This rather moderate requirement is partially due to the low consumption of the CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset.

Energy-Efficient Continuous Isoline Queries in Sensor Networks
Environmental monitoring is a promising application for sensor networks. Many scenarios produce geographically correlated readings, making them visually interesting and good targets for the isoline query. This query depicts boundaries showing how values change in the network. Temporal and spatial suppression provide opportunities for reducing the cost of maintaining the query result. The authors combine both techniques for maximal benefit by monitoring node and edge constraints. A monitored node triggers a report if its value changes. A monitored edge triggers a report if the difference between its nodes' values changes. The root collects reports and derives all node values, from which the query result is generated.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON – James Ford Seale, a reputed Ku Klux Klansman imprisoned for his role in the segregation-era abduction and killing of two black men in rural Mississippi, has died, a spokesman with federal Bureau of Prisons said.
Seale died Tuesday in Terre Haute, Ind., where he had been serving three life sentences after being convicted in 2007, Bureau of Prisons spokesman Edmond Ross told The Associated Press. He was 76.
Ross said he did not know the cause of Seale's death, which was first reported by Jackson newspaper The Clarion-Ledger.
Seale was convicted of two counts of kidnapping and one of conspiracy to commit kidnapping in the 1964 deaths of Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore, both 19.
The two were kidnapped in the woods of southwestern Mississippi near Natchez.
Prosecutors said Seale, a former crop duster, was with a group of Klansmen when they abducted Moore and Dee from a rural stretch of highway in southwest Mississippi. The Klansmen took the teens into the woods and beat and interrogated them about rumors that blacks in the area were planning an armed uprising, prosecutors said.
The decomposed bodies were found in July 1964 as federal authorities searched for the bodies of three civil rights workers who had also disappeared that summer. That case became known as "Mississippi Burning" and overshadowed the deaths of Dee and Moore.
Seale and another man, Charles Marcus Edwards, briefly faced state murder charges in the deaths of Dee and Moore in 1964, but the charges were quickly thrown out. Prosecutors said the charges were dropped because local law enforcement officers were in collusion with the Klan.
Many people thought Seale was dead until 2005, when he was discovered living a town not far from where the teens were abducted. The case was reopened, and Edwards became the government's star witness after he was promised immunity from prosecution.
In March 2010, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the evidence against Seale was sufficient for the jury conviction in the trial that took place 43 years after the crimes. Later that year, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Seale's appeal.

Palm Beach Zoo is well on its way to DOUBLING its current number of volunteers with the addition of 35 new members this month.
With the recent hiring of Volunteer Manager, Joseph Landmichl, the Volunteer program has been revamped to appeal to people of all interests and accommodate all types of schedules. Because of this flexibility, the Zoo attracted dozens of prospective volunteers and this month, welcomed 35 new members. They completed the orientation program this weekend, and can now officially volunteer in the commissary, hospital, interpretation, horticulture and docent programs, which requires additional training to handle animals.
The Zoo wants to build its Volunteer program to include 300 members a year from now. The new additions bring that number to 115 people, so more are needed. The Zoo currently accepts volunteers as young as 16 years of age, but starting on January 14, it will be adding a new Youth Volunteer Corps program to include those as young as 14.
More information and online applications are available by visiting the Volunteer pages located under Suiport Us in the website menu above.

Icy roads greet area motorists
MOST?SCHOOLS in the Ohio Valley were on a two-hour delay today because of icy road conditions. Ice started to form on the roads shortly before 5 a.m.
Bob Detling, road supervisor for the Belmont County Engineering Department, said ice started to form on the roads in the Barnesville area around 4:40 a.m.
"Our trucks hit the roads around 5 a.m. spreading salt. Icy roads are very dangerous for motorists so we caution them to drive slow," he said.
The Ohio Department of Transportation, Morristown, also has its trucks on the roads spreading salt. A spokesperson at the garage said crews started at 4:50 a.m.
He said there were 16 trucks taking care of state roads in the county.
A spokesperson at the St. Clairsville police station said sidewalks and secondary roads were slippery, but main roads were in fairly good condition. He said no accidents were reported as of 7 a.m.
A dispatcher at Post 7 of the Ohio State Highway Patrol in St. Clairsville said no accidents have been reported as of 7:30 a.m.
Martins Ferry Police said there were no problems in the city regarding road conditions.

The color reminds me of a county fair, where you can get pink cotton candy go to the booth to toss rings on a peg for a prize. I think I'll go to the refreshment tent a get a giant unregulated soft drink.
now I need to make a donut run
Glad I had my banana bran muffins before I got to this strip. Wards off the temptation to go to KK's to see if the "HOT" sign is on.
Haha – the biggest horn with the biggest belly!
As always, beautiful work!!!
This is the second time this week I've had occasion to break out this song… ♫♪ Donuts make my brown eyes blue… ♪♫
@Notsoastute – I hope you will be joining us here at the Boobiehatch more often… it's crazy fun!
Great one! I'm going to the grocery store later – hope I can stay away from the bakery!
I almost missed the guy actually dunking his donut – wouldn't he get a sore neck? :
If u start seeing pink elephants, recheck you 'unregulated' soft drink.
Waddle, don't run!
'Hot' is a trigger isn't it. 'Hot apple pie…mmmm, Hot Croissants….yum, Hot sushi… w8 a min!
A! Yay! Glad you got the fatty w the big horn. Love your song. Maybe fatty should be in his own line, '8 donuts or less'. "He got the hole world, in his hands"

1st quarter Lubbock Coronado converted a 3rd down when Greg Hewitt found Robert Lee, that drive would later result in a field goal 3-0 Coronado.
Later in the 1st San Angelo Central's Landon Sawyer had a 15 yd touchdown run to put the Bobcats on top 7-3.
Back and forth they would go as Isaiah Tates took one in from 20 yards out for the touchdown but Central still had the 14-10 league.
But then on the 3rd drive of the game The Bobcats got their 3rd touchdown as Mickey Scott found Sterling Smith for a 6 yd TD pass to put Central up 21-10, as they would go on to win it by a final of 28-17.

Failures of the juvenile justice system
At age 12 Lionel Tate killed his six-year-old playmate. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Five years later, in 2004, appellate courts overturned Tate's conviction, and a plea bargain led to his release. But in 2005 he was arrested again for robbing a pizza delivery man, and he is now spending 30 years in prison.
While many see Lionel Tate as proof positive that some youthful offenders simply cannot be redeemed, others see him as one more juvenile who was poorly served by a correctional system that does not correct. He spent five years in the custody of that system, after all. As one court-appointed psychologist later lamented, "We had a real chance" to turn his life around. "The right thing would have been to get this young man some help."

Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML

A test that measures blood sugar levels. Elevated levels are associated with diabetes and insulin resistance, in which the body cannot properly handle sugar (e.g. obesity).
This test requires a 12-hour fast. You should wait to eat and/or take a hypoglycemic agent (insulin or oral medication) until after test has been drawn, unless told otherwise.
Eating and digesting foods called carbohydrates forms glucose (blood sugar). Glucose is needed by your body to provide energy to carry out your normal activities. Insulin is needed by the body to allow glucose to go into the cells and be used as energy. Without insulin, the levels of glucose in the blood will rise. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when either the pancreas (an organ in your body) is not able to produce insulin or the pancreas makes insulin, but it does not work as it should. Fasting blood sugar is a part of diabetic evaluation and management. An FBS greater than 126 mg/dL on more than one occasion usually indicates diabetes.
Reflects average blood sugar levels over the preceding 90-day period. Elevated levels are associated with prediabetes and diabetes. Individuals with diabetes have an increased risk of a cardiac event. A diabetic person's risk for heart attack is the same as a non-diabetic person, who has experienced one heart attack, having a second heart attack. Aggressive global preventive risk reduction efforts, such as lower LDL targets, diet, exercise and blood pressure control, are recommended.
This test may be measured any time of the day without fasting.
Glycosylated hemoglobin is blood glucose attached to hemoglobin (a component of blood). This test is often called the "diabetic report card." It reflects the average blood sugar for the two to three month period before the test.
To calculate the average blood glucose level from the HbA1C:
HbA1C level x (multiplied by) 33.3 – 86 = average blood glucose level for the past 90 days. HbA1C can be helpful to track diabetic control over time.

Cancer Clarity
The $10.5 million Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) grant awarded to UT Southwestern on Nov. 2, 2011, included nearly $1 million to Jinming Gao, PhD, Professor of Oncology and Pharmacology, and Baran Sumer, MD, Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology.
Dr. Gao and his team will use the funds to develop a new method of imaging solid tumors in the head, neck and chest region using cancer-activatable fluorescent nanoparticles. The minute particles, developed at UT Southwestern, are capable of binding with receptor sites on tumor cells, and then "lighting them up" for a surgeon to clearly see.
"The really cool feature about these nanoprobes is that they stay dark in blood, and upon reaching tumors, they get turned ON inside cancer cells," Dr. Gao said.
More brightly outlining tumor cells that are distinguishable from normal cells in the head and neck—a notoriously difficult and small operating environment—is the Holy Grail for any surgical oncologist, and the new method of illumination is showing promise in animal models.
Because the tight area of the head and neck typically requires the assistance of robotics, the imaging technique has attracted the attention of Dr. Sumer, one of UT Southwestern's leading ear nose and throat specialist, who is currently collaborating with Dr. Gao's lab on the development of these nanoprobes.
"Every day, I and other surgeons struggle with this—excising or lasering all the bad tissue while leaving behind the good," Dr. Sumer said. "Sometimes very good ideas get worked on in a bubble. An engineer, for instance, will develop something that is good in concept but simply isn't practical in the operating room. When I'm not in clinic, I spend as much time in Jinming's lab as possible."
An end goal of the research is to develop multi-chromatic maps of an individual's tumor, to account for all the eccentricities and irregular tumor shapes that are part of being human.
At its core, this an unparalleled synergistic effort between a bioengineer and a surgeon to see the cancer better for curable resections, Dr. Gao said.
The latest round of CPRIT awards brings the medical center's total funding from the institute to $115 million for 71 projects over the past two years.
"CPRIT is a very special program," said James K.V. Willson, MD, Director of the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern, "This is the next chapter in a string of awards meant to bolster research and innovation at leading cancer centers across the state."
The awards are based on proposals submitted by faculty members and evaluated through the peer-review process. In addition to the nearly $1 million grant to Drs. Gao and Sumer, the latest CPRIT funding includes:
- Hamid Mirzaei, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, received a $4.4 million grant for his research examining the role of proteins in cancer.
- Luis F. Parada, PhD, Chair of Developmental Biology, received $1.5 million for his research in developing new approaches for treating brain tumors.
- A third grant for $1 million went to Woodring Wright, MD, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Internal Medicine, for research into telomerase inhibition cancer therapy, which would target an enzyme necessary for long-term proliferation of tumor cells.
- UT Southwestern received six additional awards, totaling about $3.6 million, that went to Cheng-Ming Chiang, PhD, Professor of Pharmacology and Biochemistry and in the Simmons Cancer Center; Yuh Min Chook, PhD, Associate Professor of Pharmacology; George DeMartino, PhD, Professor of Physiology; Sandra Hofmann, MD, PhD, Professor of Internal Medicine and Molecular Genetics; Bethany Janowski, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology; and Qiu-Xing Jiang, PhD, Assistant Professor of Cell Biology.
"CPRIT funds are central to our success in advancing the future of cancer research and treatment," said Daniel K. Podolsky, MD, President of UT Southwestern. "Physicians and investigators working hand-in-hand give us a distinct advantage in the fight to defeat cancer."

While speaking about his titular Queen, French filmmaker Arnaud Desplechin recently stated that "When I started to write [the film], I couldnt stop thinking about those women destined for tragedy I had discovered as a child in Hitchcock movies. I recalled Rebecca and Marnie, of course, and above all Ingrid Bergman in Notorious and Under Capricorn. Women tormented by problems who manage to overcome them on their own... like sinister fairy tales." And he went on to add, "A woman, alone, finds herself by chance in something resembling a Hawthorne story: a strange town, ghosts from the past, and then... misfortune... her name is Nora." However, what separates Nora (brilliantly played by Emmanuelle Devos) from the women mentioned above is her voluptuous ego that matches her physical stature. On the other hand, her Kings dont quite have that problem. Indeed, after all, one of them is dying (father of Nora played by Maurice Garrel); one isnt old enough to figure out lifes complexities (Noras son from her first "marriage"); and one is simply crazy (Noras ex-paramour Ismal, played by Mathieu Amalric).
Kings and Queen (Rois et reine) is a dramatic epic: its big, bold, energetic, and complicated. Along with employing Scorsesian jump cuts, pans, zooms to tell his tragicomic and melodramatic tale, Desplechin infuses the film with Greek mythology, Yeats, Apollinaire, Shakespeare, hip-hop, etc. at regular intervals. (I have a feeling that if Tarantino was French, then he wouldve make something like this.) Even at 150 minutes, the film never slacks. Thats not to say, however, that there arent any tonal inconsistencies. One of the backstories involving Nora and her initial partner is also not very convincing. But what Kings and Queen offers in abundance are moments and emotions, both big and small, that are quite unique and powerful: Nora reading her fathers final letter; Ismals conversations with his psychiatrist (especially the one where he muses, "Women have no souls"); Noras son receiving a life-lesson; Ismal not being able to talk his way out of an appointment, among others.
Desplechin once famously barked: "I made my first film (La Vie des morts [1991]) to insult my family, my second (La Sentinelle [1992]) to insult my country, and my third (My Sex Life... or How I Got Into an Argument [1996]) to insult my girlfriends. Whatever the case, they worked intermittently. His subsequent features, Esther Kahn (2000) and En jouant 'Dans la compagnie des hommes' (2003), were experimental in nature, but were arguably better. Kings and Queen is a tasteful amalgam of what has come before, and it promises an even brighter future for this one-of-a-kind filmmaker.
*KINGS AND QUEEN premiered at the Venice Film Festival (In-Competition) in 2004. The film was released earlier this year in the U.S. (Wellspring). It is now available on DVD.

New Chief of Federations Looking Golden at His First Annual General Assembly
At the General Assembly of The Jewish Federations of North America earlier this month, Jerry Silverman was the main story, given that this was his first such meeting since he took over as CEO of the umbrella organization last September.
A federation outsider, Silverman came to the organization after a much-heralded stint as the CEO of the Foundation for Jewish Camp, where he raised the philanthropic profile of Jewish camps, helping to bring in tens of millions of dollars per year. And his influence already was being felt at the GA — at least in the excitement about his hiring.
To be sure, local and national federation leaders acknowledge it's been a rough year, with pledges to local campaigns off by more than $80 million. And many federation insiders now embrace the idea that even before the recession hit, theirs is a system that needs to do a better job of embracing change.
Yet the mood among GA participants seemed upbeat, especially compared to the economy-related gloom-and-doom mood that gripped last year's gathering. According to the hallway chatter, much of that positive feeling is tied up with Silverman's arrival.
Silverman's message to the federations and their partners is clear: The system has its problems, but he and they are all in this together.
"We have many problems to solve, and we won't agree on any point," he said during his address at the opening plenary. "But we have shown in the last year of challenge the ability to make real and unprecedented progress."
Silverman went on to say, "If we work together effectively, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. After all, anything is possible."
Judging from dozens of conversations with local federation heads, people seem to be listening.
A key to the good will, some said, was Silverman's decision to spend his first weeks on the job listening. He started off by traveling throughout the United States on a tour of the federations, letting them tell him what they needed from their national office.
It was viewed in many corners as an important step for a central office that has had to wrestle with unclear and conflicting notions of what it was supposed to be and whom it was supposed to be serving.
While such questions have still not been fully resolved, several chief executives at local federations say they have something new in Silverman. All of his predecessors have been former big-city federation executives, some with clear ideas about how to make the organization better.
The tradeoff of coming in with fully formed ideas is that some others were left feeling they had no say.
At the GA, Silverman was a constant presence in the hallways, but probably more important, he was a presence at the bar late at night, when the sessions of the GA were over and the hundreds of folks from local federations let loose a little. And he wasn't surrounded by his PR advisers.
He was just hanging out, kibitzing.
It will be important to watch whether Silverman and his colleagues at Jewish federations are able to translate the positive feelings into improved results and concrete accomplishments. But by most accounts, this GA was a very good first step for a new leader with a tough road ahead.

On the Edge
John Fedchock's music exemplifies some of the brighter orchestral writing for the big bands playing around town these days. His harmonies and textures are colorful and always interesting. Furthermore, within the idiom of a modern big band, his music is jaunty, and it swings, if perhaps not for dancing.
The group gathers some impressive musicians, who are well-versed and play these tight arrangements with verve and elan.
The songs include four sprightly originals, modern pieces by Wayne Shorter, Thad Jones, and Oliver Nelson, with a funny romp on Jaco Pastorius' "Teen Town" and sensitive readings of the Ellington-Strayhorn "Isfahan" and Lee Morgan's "Ceora."
Fedchock is also a fine trombonist, and other soloists of note include saxophonists Mark Vinci, Rich Margitza, and Rich Perry, and trumpeters Scott Wendholdt, Greg Gisbert, and Tim Hagans. The entire band plays with a bright sparkle, lending dignity and class to these intelligent big band arrangements.

I'd do my best Peter North impression all over her.
She's doing that dress justice, boy!
A "9" body on a "3" face doesn't really impress me.
When a chick has an ass like that does it really matter if she even has a face?
Use a paper bag dipshit
No thanks asswipe.
I like to enjoy the entire package.
She looks so tight. It'd be like fucking a pencil sharpener! But wetter!
Make the pictures smaller next time. I can't see shit.

of cooking his dinners on time.
But I bet you're the type who loves those gang rape affairs.

Despite the fact that I do not have a cock (unless we are talking about my 12 inch strap-on that will be introducing to your tender ass to shortly) I could still get more pussy than a pole smoking, geigh color using, big assed font with no damn comeback bish such as yourself.
p.s. I also agree that stroking your short stick to pics of models you could never hope to get is not sex either.
^You are awesome.
Wtf do you upload for in these terrible full of ads websites? Spammers...
Then why did you post a picture of your real doll?
How bout I come on over kick your mama out the house and pop your girlfriend with a screw, then I'll introduce you to my strap-on. When I'm done Ima sit on your couch, drink all your Koolaid and watch you control the anal bleeding with a roll of tiolet paper.
Sounds like good times to me
But in all seriousness, my girlfriend would smack you to the ground with one quick slap, then rip off your top and choke you with it, then spray paint your hair/face with clown colors to help bring out your inner bozo, then have her brother rape you for 10 minutes while I pour beer all over your carcass, then we'd roll your chubby ass down the driveway just before you regain consciousness.

Getting those down on paper should make more room in the old noodle
More fun than a Barrel of Monkeys ® — and roughly as much fun as a Barrel Full of Monkees (Colgems Records).
Don't leave that lying around; they might find it a 1000 years from now and think it predicts the Apocalypse.
Do you ever wonder why your tea tastes off, or your pasta doesn't cook to a perfect al dente? Don't blame the grocer, Friend — look no further than your tap: A single drop of water, magnified 100X, shows a tiny ecology teeming with life.
Bosco's so called 'doodles' are really a skillful panache of the full history of drawing, from Mesopotamian pottery to Bosch, Surrealist automatism, Picasso's Post Cubist inventions, Steinberg,Crumb, and beyond. Still it is unfortunate he insists upon doing them on cocktail napkins.
Oh yeah did I mention 'Masterful'? Brilliant doodles, Lefty.
Thank you, illswami!

Uptown Groove
With a prickly, doodling jazz chorusey style, the late guitarist Zachary Breaux could fit comfortably into the Earl Klugh light-and-breezy smooth jazz mold-but his willingness to experiment on his strong recording, Uptown Groove (Zebra ZD 44002; 64:40) set him apart. Breaux, a well-traveled sideman whose touring credits included a stint with Roy Ayers, is all over his instrument, hitting light, high-toned chords on "Cafe Reggio" and trading soulful licks with flutist Hubert Laws on "I Told You." The multi-talented Breaux also sings in an emotive baritone on a dark, urban-contemporized read of B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone," and proves a creative arranger on an edgy cover of Miles Davis' "All Blues," using harmonica and his own pinging, cornered melody to lend a soulful feel. Likewise, his elastic-ranged spiraling solo work on "Uptown Groove" is given an unexpected '60s soul lift by the backing of a killer horn quartet. With an elastic, easygoing guitar technique recalling George Benson, combined with arranging instincts diverging from tried-and-true commercial formulas, Zachary Breaux was clearly a very promising talent.

Happy Spring! Rain or shine, snow or sun (especially snow), the first day of spring is upon us.
Being one of the most popular wedding venues in Halifax, around here, spring means one thing… that another wedding season is about to kick off!
One of my favourite topics to blog about is upcoming wedding trends. Around this time of the year, each year, I round up the most fabulous upcoming colours, dress styles, food, drink, invitations, flowers and decor I can find. My go-to trending tool? Pinterest, of course.
Here are some of the gorgeous upcoming spring and summer 2013 wedding trends…
My favourite trendy wedding colour this season is mint – it looks great paired with lots of other complementary colours, and has a real classy vibe. Other hot colours include grey, and creamy neutral tones like latte.
English garden flowers, specifically peonies, are the biggest trend in wedding flowers for 2013. Colourful, beautifully full-figured, and classy, it's no wonder brides are demanding peonies for everything from centrepieces to bouquets.
There are a few invitation styles making the rounds, but I think the most fun is the neon trend. Neon was a big colour on the runway last year and its made its way into the wedding world. Another favourite is gleaming foil print invitations.
Coloured dresses are back in 2013 (like Jessica Beil's when she married JT) including blush, pink, red and even blue. Other trends include fanciful backs, sleeves, and vintage style!
While I'm glad to hear that plated dinners are making a comeback (they never really went away for us), I love the trend of spotlighting your culinary heritage for the wedding meal. What a fun way to get your guests interested in the food!
Artisan cocktails, often using champagne, are hot this year. Another more non-formal trend is beer! Who doesn't love a cold one at a wedding reception?
Again there are some incredibly cute decor trends popping up for the upcoming season. Covered centrepieces (like using birdcages for example) are big, as well as using mason jars for various DIY decor concepts.

Activision gives the latest strum, drum and lyrics with their highly anticipated music title, Guitar Hero World Tour.
Aside from shredding it on the guitar or bass, World Tour also introduces the mic and drum kit for the first time in the series ala Rock Band. But, unlike MTV Games's music game, World Tour features a "Music Studio" mode where players can create their own tunes and be their own composer. After creating their masterpiece, the songs can be uploaded and published online via GH Tunes.
Guitar Hero World Tour, developed by Neversoft Entertainment, will be out this October 26 for the Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 and Nintendo Wii platforms.
