Ricketts's reflections after promising start
Skipper Samuel Ricketts says Wolves will not stop trying to improve as they head into the second third of the Sky Bet League One season.
Amid disappointment at the second half performance in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Carlisle, staff and players are still pleased with an impressive start to the season which has seen Wolves take 36 points from the first 15 games.
Although still two adrift of Leyton Orient, Wolves have a four point cushion over third placed Peterborough.
After Saturday's FA Cup tie at Oldham there may be a fortnight's break from league action if the trip to Notts County is postponed due to international call-ups, but Ricketts says Wolves will continue to work hard to better themselves both individually and as a team.
"We want to keep this run going with only having lost one league game so far this season," said Ricketts.
"We walk out on the pitch believing we can win every game even if we know they are going to be tough.
"It's important to build a good winning mentality and even though we only picked up a point at Carlisle we have generally done that this season.
"There is something to improve on however results go.
"We have won games where perhaps we haven't played well and are always looking to improve.
"There are areas like trying to get a second goal after we go in front and we are always looking to get better both as individuals and as a team.
"If we can do that then it should generate what we want to achieve this season.
"We know that we are expected to win games at this level and that opposition teams are raising their games against us and that is something we have dealt with and will continue to do so.
"Especially going away from home, we take a fantastic following and the teams will play raise their game and their fans are more up for it.
"I think we have dealt with that really well this year, especially with a young side, which has been pleasing."
Tuesday's game was only the second time this season that Wolves have conceded more than one goal, and the tally of ten conceded from 15 games still makes them the meanest defence in the division.
Ricketts, who has operated in all positions across the back line, says: "The defence has been consistent with four from five players – Doc, Danny Batth, Richard Stearman, Scotty Golbourne and myself.
"It has been four from those five and whichever combination it has been we have been a solid unit.
"Carl behind us has been in top form and it's not just the back four or back five who contribute to a good defensive record – it's the whole team.
"And then we have then got matchwinners in the side further forward and when you have got those sort of players in your side it is a huge positive.
"Griff, Kevin Doyle, James Henry, Sako can all do that for us and Bjorn has done well coming off the bench and we've got more beyond that as well."
And Ricketts believes the spirit within the Wolves dressing room is going to serve the club well heading into the coming weeks.
He added: "There is a huge desire here to want to do well and achieve something, not only on an individual level but also as a team.
"Wolves is such a big club with the infrastructure here and the numbers of fans who turn up every week.
"You meet the former players and see the history and the stands being named after people and it inspires you.
"We are here to try and get the club back where we feel it belongs and that's with a squad which has a lot of players brought through the Academy and a real desire to succeed."
Connor Ronan admits that he isn't expecting to walk into the first....

I don't know about WR, BW. I'd rather see Cruz, Randle, Hixon, Jernigan, Barden, etc. and make do.
We need an O Lineman that we know we can behind on 3rd and 2. We have no one now. It's very sad.
And, you're right, too, that we need a lot. We won't find this all in the draft... we nneed Reese to get some quality depth in FA.

To the Editors:
In their Macroscope column "To Throw Away Data: Plagiarism as a Statistical Crime," Andrew Gelman and Thomas Basbøll relate how the "When you are lost, any old map will do" meme originated in a passage lifted without attribution by Karl Weick from a poem by Miroslav Holub. Weick wrote in Sensemaking in Organizations that "in an equivocal, postmodern world, infused with the politics of interpretation and conflicting interests and inhabited by people with multiple shifting identities, an obsession with accuracy seems fruitless, and not of much practical help, either." It is hardly surprising, then, that he and his adherents would dismiss an accusation of plagiarism as mere pedantry. Weick actively rejects the standards Gelman and Basebøll apply to him: Small wonder that he turns out to have violated those standards.
Gelman and Basbøll argue that Weick's failure to cite a source for the example throws away data about the population from which it came. Holub's poem relates a military anecdote from the point of view of a Hungarian officer and attributes it to Albert Szent-Györgyi, a Hungarian who served in the First World War.
War poetry's a large genre, and contains other examples of "sensemaking" in a situation of confusion or uncertainty. If Weick denies the primacy of facts on grounds of postmodernism, perhaps literature is an appropriate substitute. Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade," for example. At Balaclava, the troops followed a plan that was obviously wrong, but the Earl of Cardigan's confidence convinced them. Should managers emulate him?
Siegfried Sassoon's "The General" demonstrates that he understood that when he led a charge the troops had to believe the implicit "I know what I'm doing!" or else they'd hit the dirt and stay down:
"'Good Morning, good morning!' the general said / When we met him last week on our way to the line.
Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of 'em dead / And we're cursing his staff for incompetent swine.
'He's a cheery old card,' grunted Harry to Jack / As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack....
But he did for them both by his plan of attack."
Conclusion: "When you are lost, any old map will do. Except when it won't."

I was reading with great interest the May–June Macroscope column by Andrew Gelman and Thomas Basbøll titled: "To Throw Away Data: Plagiarism as a Statistical Crime," when, into about the second page, the article started to strike me in a different way than I thought was its original intent. I went into it expecting to hear about quantitative data analysis and how plagiarizing can often produce statistical errors, such as when data are manufactured or copied by a scientist in order to reach a predetermined conclusion. However, I see nothing statistical at all about what is, essentially, a grousing piece. The column has a brief introduction that connects plagiarism to statistics in a very natural way. But then it devolves into accusing language that comes off as a complaint about plagiarism committed by one specific individual, namely one Karl Weick, throughout the rest of the article. I was expecting the Weick story to be one of many examples. The diatribe was bookended with fluff that is unrelated to what I thought was the original topic. The piece may as well have been titled, "Karl Weick Is a Bad Person," if the bookends had been removed.
Brian Hart

Drs. Gelman and Basbøll respond:
We have no particular interest in Karl Weick as a person and we are puzzled by the suggestion that our article's main message can be taken as a judgment about his character. In fact, it was precisely to avoid the more familiar moralizing about the plagiarist that we compared hiding a source to throwing away data rather than stealing someone's property. In our article, we discuss the ways in which the conclusions we can draw from a story can be distorted when its source is obscured. The importance of correctly and honestly describing the data-generating process is well known in quantitative statistical analysis, and our key point was that these concerns arise in qualitative inference as well. Plagiarism, we want to emphasize, is not merely an offense against the person whose work has been misappropriated; it also does harm to the reader trying to make sense of a story and fit it into the larger world.

After missing weigh-ins, BYU DE Ezekiel Ansah measured in at 6'5 and 1/4" with a weight of 274 pounds.
It is very close to Ansah's listed weight at BYU of 6'6/270 pounds. If you are hoping for the next edge rushing, JPP type player, Ansah will not offer those kinds of skills. Instead the inexperienced prospects spent time at rush linebacker, end in a 4-4, end in a 3-4 and at nose tackle. His best skill is his closing speed once creating separation.
Source: Josh Norris on Twitter
Just watch the tape against NC State if you want to see him playing DE.
Specifically, if you want to see his entire problem, look at 1:40 into the video. he cant flip his hips and turn, at all. He does a lovely 360 later in the video trying to turn.
Bruce Carter and Zach Brown were some of the most physically gifted players in the country, Red**** not so much.

Ars Lyrica Houston to Present Handel's ACIS AND GALATEA at The Hobby Center, 3/10
Grammy-nominated early music ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston presents a staged version of G.F. Handel's pastoral masterpiece Acis and Galatea on March 10th at The Hobby Center, with additional performances in Austin, and Bryan, Texas.
This new production of Handel's pastoral masterpiece Acis and Galatea, is directed by Tara Faircloth and conducted from the harpsichord by Ars Lyrica Artistic Director Matthew Dirst, and features a vibrant cast: soprano Blair Doerge, countertenor Ryland Angel, tenor Derek Chester, baritone Michael Kelly, and bass-baritone Timothy Jones.
Acis and Galatea tells the story of two young lovers whose lives are forever changed in an encounter worthy of Grimm's fairy tales. Handel's music, to a libretto fashioned by the leading poets of his day, is equally magical and had long been regarded as his finest work in the English language.
Founded in 1998 by harpsichordist and conductor Matthew Dirst, Ars Lyrica Houston is a Texas-based ensemble that performs world-class Baroque music on period instruments. Ars Lyrica's world premiere recording of J.A. Hasse's Marc Antonio e Cleopatra brought the ensemble its first Grammy nomination for "a thrilling performance that glows in its quieter moments and sparkles with vitality" (Early Music America). Ars Lyrica's distinctive programming, drawn from the rich chamber and dramatic repertories of the 17th and 18th centuries, "sets the agenda for imaginative period instrument programming in Houston," according to the Houston Chronicle. The ensemble's first commercial release, on Naxos International, features the world première recordings of Alessandro Scarlatti's La Concettione della Beata Vergine and Euridice dall'Inferno. This disc brought international recognition to the ensemble: Gramophone, the leading journal of the classical recording industry, praised this CD for its "exemplary skill and taste," and Ars Lyrica's musicians for their "impassioned performance" of never-before recorded works. Ars Lyrica's latest Sono Luminus recording, of Domenico Scarlatti's comic intermezzo La Dirindina and his chamber cantata Pur nel sonno, was released in August 2012. For more information visit www.arslyricahouston.org.
Stage director Tara Faircloth's work has been seen in opera houses around the nation. In addition to three company mainstage debuts last season (Wolf Trap Opera, Utah Opera and Opera Colorado) she directed her second world premiere at the Houston Grand Opera, The Bricklayer. In summer 2012, she returns to Wolf Trap to present a new production of The Rake's Progress. Ms. Faircloth has directed much traditional repertoire including works such as Die Zauberflöte, Hänsel and Gretel, Carmen, Don Pasquale and La Traviata. In upcoming seasons she will be mounting La Fille du Regiment at Tulsa Opera and IL Barbiere di Siviglia at Utah Opera. She has created her own productions of Dido and Aeneas for Ars Lyrica Houston at the Festival di Musica Barroca in Mexico, and Mercury Baroque in collaboration with the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater. The baroque repertoire is of special interest to Ms. Faircloth, who made her directorial debut with ALH's production of Cain: Il primo omicidio in 2003, and has since designed and directed a number of shows for the company, including Charpentier's Actéon and La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers.
Praised by the New York Times for his "beautifully shaped and carefully nuanced singing," tenor Derek Chester is steadily making a name for himself in the world of classical music. He holds voice degrees from the University of Georgia and Yale University and is in the final stages of his doctoral work at the University of North Texas. As a Fulbright Scholar, he spent a year in Germany working as a freelance musician and furthering his training. He has appeared as soloist at the Oregon Bach Festival and Toronto Bach Festival under Helmuth Rilling, and in Monteverdi's Vespers with Ars Lyrica.
Recent concert appearances have included Britten's War Requiem with the Korean Broadcasting System Symphony Orchestra, Mendelssohn's Symphony No.2 the "Lobgesang" with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus, Bach's St. John Passion with the Dallas Bach Society, Händel's Messiah with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra and the South Dakota Chorale, Händel's Theodora with the Bach Collegium San Diego, Bach's St. Mark Passion (reconstruction) with Barokksolistene in Norway, the Evangelist in Bach's St. Matthew Passion with the Richmond Symphony Orchestra and New York City's Voices of Ascension, and Bach's Mass in B minor and Weihnachts Oratorium with American Bach Soloists.
Soprano Blair Doerge, has been described as having a "rare voice of natural beauty, warmth, power and radiance" and has garnered attention for her rich and effortless timbre. Ms. Doerge is the recipient of numerous awards including being named the 2010 Edward Baird Singer of the Year at the National Association of Teachers of Singing Conference, a 2010 and 2008 National Finalist for the Lois Alba Aria Competition, a 2010 National Semi-finalist in the Classical Singer Convention University Competition and a 2010 District Finalist in the National Association of Teachers' of Singing Artist Awards and a 2010 National Finalist in the San Antonio Opera Vocal Competition.
At home on the recital and concert stage, Ms. Doerge regularly performs recitals in and around Houston with collaborator Keith Weber, artistic director of Grace Song Inc. Ms. Doerge has appeared as a soprano soloist in Mozart's Requiem, Händel's Messiah, Fauré's Requiem, Rutter's Requiem, and Dubois' The Seven Last Words of Christ. Blair is a featured soloist and member of CANTARE Houston. With the ensemble, Ms. Doerge has had the pleasure of being the soloist for the world premiere of Ola Gjeilo's Luminous Night of the Soul, and the Houston premiere of Dark Night of the Soul. Upcoming engagements include performing the role of Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana with the Kingwood Summer Opera and Ms. Doerge will be making her debut with Ars Lyrica of Houston in the role of Acis in Händel's Acis and Galatea in the 2012-13 season.

Now that I've had about a year with my TBH, I can see where I did somethings wrong and would like to make improvements; however, it's full of bees.
I'm thinking the easiest thing to do would be to move them all to a box wide enough to support the bars while I work on the hive.
What's the best time of the year to do that? They will only need to be out of their hive for about an hour.
Thoughts? - Mike

Mission Journal: Crimea's journalists in exile as Russia muzzles free press
"First they asked if my parents had any guns or drugs in the apartment, then they showed my picture to my mother and asked her to identify me," Anna Andriyevskaya said. The Crimean journalist, who is living in exile in Kiev, was describing a raid on her parents' home by Russian FSB agents. "Any other mother would have probably suffered a heart attack if police asked them to ID their children," she said.

Agriculture has made great strides in reducing nutrient movement from our farm fields even though the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relentlessly aims for tighter standards. From our vantage point, the EPA should turn more attention to major metropolitan areas whose leaky sewer lines and undersized sewage treatment facilities continue to put excessive waste streams into our waterways.
One has to look no farther than Milwaukee, Wis., just a little over an hour drive from our main office. It presents a unique case study in nutrient flow because the vast majority of the water that drains towards its Lake Michigan shoreline flows from urban point sources.
During last year's severe drought, Wisconsin's collective Great Lakes shoreline still had the second-worst water quality rating in the nation. According to the EPA, 14 percent of all water samples fell short of recognized national health standards. Wading into deeper water, Milwaukee's South Shore Beach ranked among the nation's worst beaches as 43 percent of its water samples exceeded 235 colony forming units of E. Coli per 100 milliliters of water.
While nonpoint source runoff from vast spans of asphalt and concrete, leaky sanitary sewer connections and wildlife are among the culprits, they all pale in comparison to the largest revolving problem - dumping untreated wastewater and even worse, untreated sewage, directly into rivers and lakes.
This April alone, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District dumped 1.1 billion gallons of untreated wastewater to prevent sewage from backing up into residential basements. Of greater concern was the 52.6 million gallons of sewage, yes human waste, directly deposited into waterways. Unfortunately, Milwaukee isn't the greatest offender on the Great Lakes. Both Chicago and Cleveland reported greater outflows.
While agriculture has often been cited for water quality issues, we believe major urban areas are not held up to the same standards. Everyone should do their fair share to clean up our nation's waterways. Since 1995, cities have reduced contaminants they discharge into waterways by 85 percent during dry weather. That is a start.
Those of us who farm ground know we must be prepared for excessive rainfall and rapid snowmelts as both lead to nutrient run off. Unfortunately, many major cities remain ill-prepared to handle those extreme events properly.

Four teams will receive a first-round bye in this year's Southland Conference basketball tournament.
Though it is still early in conference play, all indicators are that Oral Roberts, Stephen F. Austin and Northwestern State will be among that group — barring the loss of a significant player or two for an extended period of time.
However, just about everyone else is in the mix to become the fourth team in that group.
"Any team, after those who have established themselves at the top, we can all beat each other," said McNeese head coach Dave Simmons. "And that's not saying we can't beat them. Hopefully we'll become better as the season progresses. If we can peak at the right time we can be considered one of those top teams. But right now we're just improving, trying to win games and jockeying for position."
While in previous years there was virtually no difference between being seeded fourth or fifth in the tournament, this year it marks the difference between having to win four games in five days and the more feasible three games in four days.
That makes McNeese's 3 p.m. matchup today with Sam Houston State one with potential huge consequences come March. The Cowboys (7-7, 1-3 SLC) can ill afford dropping another game behind the Bearkats (9-6, 2-1) with a game still to be played on Sam Houston's home floor.
"Every home game is so important in this league," Simmons said. "(Today) is a very big game. It's very important to build off what we did against Corpus. This is our fifth game in 10 days. We have to find the reserve energy to win another game, which will be another nail-biter. The way we play, they're all going to be nail-biters."
The challenge of the Bearkats is that it isn't clear which player will hurt you. No one on Sam Houston's roster is averaging double figures, but nine are averaging more than 5.0 per game.
"They've got good guards, shoot well and play hard," Simmons said. "There's a lot of new faces. The familiarity with personnel is our first adjustment. We're going to have to withstand their press and stop them from penetrating and kicking to their shooters."
The 70-point mark may be a telling one for both teams. McNeese has yet to lose a game in which it has scored more than 70, and Sam Houston has eclipsed 70 points against one Division I opponent.
At the bare minimum, four of the Southland Conference's top 10 women's basketball players will be on the floor this afternoon when McNeese State hosts Sam Houston State at 1 p.m.
The league-leading Bearkats (7-8, 3-0 SLC) counter Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett with their own star seniors in Britni Martin and Sequeena Thomas.
Martin averages 17.1 points per game, while Thomas leads the league with 12.2 rebounds per game to go along with an average of 13.9 points.
"They're both very tough to guard. They have a lot of grit," said McNeese head coach Brooks Donald Williams. "It should be a great game. Sam Houston beat Lamar on the road. We know they're going to come ready to play."
The Cowgirls (7-8, 2-2) are trying to keep their momentum going forward after a 68-39 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Thursday night. But the Cowgirls have had difficulty stringing those performances together.
"We've talked about consistency. It's certainly something we haven't been this year, and we need to start it (today)," Donald Williams said. "We had a great workout (Friday). I felt we carried our defensive effort over. That's Step 1. Step 2 is carrying it over to the game."
For the Cowgirls to succeed, Donald Williams said defensive play will be foremost.
"The thing we have to worry about is us taking care of us," she said. "Our girls playing Cowgirl basketball. Team defense. Hands down, that's the most important thing no matter whether we are playing Sam Houston, Corpus, Lamar or whoever it may be. That's where our focus needs to really be."

If you knew it was there when you moved in, why wouldn't you check it out earlier?!?!
Wisconsin family discovers fully-stocked fallout shelter in their back yard
For more than a decade after they moved into their house in Neenah, Wisconsin, the Zwick family knew they had a Cold War bunker in their backyard.
It was not until 2010 that anyone thought to open the heavy steel hatch, climb down the ladder and explore the 8-foot-by-10-foot chamber that the home's previous owner had built to protect his family from a nuclear attack.
Floating in five feet of water that had seemed into the bunker were sealed U.S. Army boxed packed with all of the supplies a family would need to survive two weeks underground.
Hidden treasure: Metal bulkhead doors protect the entryway into the underground fallout shelter in the Zwick family's backyard in Neenah, Wisconsin
Preserved: The previous owner of the shelter packed away candies, raisins, Hershey's syrup and other sweets - likely as treats to get through the long weeks underground
Locked up: The family clear away the bushes the had grown over the cover of the shelter and unlocked the chain that secured the doors closed
'We assumed it was just this empty space,' homeowner Carol Hollar-Zwick told the Appleton Post-Crescent.
The boxes, old military ammunition crates, contained markings that suggested there might be explosives inside, so the family called the local branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Agents opened the crates to find... Hawaiian Punch.
'It was all of what you would expect to find in a 1960s fallout shelter. It was food, clothing, medical supplies, tools, flashlights, batteries - items that you would want to have in a shelter if you planned to live there for two weeks.'
Everything remained remarkably well-preserved, thanks to the airtight containers the supplies were kept in.
The family donated all of the items to the Neenah Historical Society, which has curated an exhibit about the Cold War and the fear of the Soviets using 'the bomb.'
Down, down, town: The muddy ladder leading to the bunker reveals that the underground shelter has endured years of flooding
The rusted military supply boxes preserved the contents remarkably well
Even these paper towels were freshly sealed after 50 years
'Its interesting that you can open up something and find 1960 inside of it,' Mrs Hollar-Zwick told the Post-Crescent.
The home's previous owner was Frank Pansch, a local surgeon, built the shelter in 1960 - two years before the Cuban Missile Crisis had Americans across the country digging their own 'fallout shelters' in their backyards.
The idea of a fallout shelter was not to protect from a nuclear blast, but rather from the radiation that would likely contaminate the surrounding area.
It's unknown what fallout the late Dr Pansch was expecting in Neenah. The small Wisconsin city is 100 miles from Milwaukee and nearly 200 from Chicago - the population centers that might have been targeted by the Soviets.
Supplies: Candles, a garden hose and a funnel were dozens of items that were stashed in the bunker
It's unknown why the past owner decided he needed to store a phone directory in his fallout shelter.
Wisconsin family discovers fully-stocked fallout shelter in their back yard 50 years after it was installed at the height of the Cold War | Mail Online
Black Blade: To answer the last question in the article - Phone Directory paper is back up toilet paper. On another note, it would have been very nice if the home owners had kept the shelter updated and free from flooding. Obviously they are not true preppers. Still interesting "time capsule" of sorts.
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin
If you knew it was there when you moved in, why wouldn't you check it out earlier?!?!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
I lived through those days as a kid..
"Duck and cover under your school desk children when the bell sounds."
O.K. were under the desk, this should stop a 3 billion ton nuclear bomb, I feel much safer now..
Never told us what to do after the blast. What walk home have dinner and glow in the dark?
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Thats awesome a by gone era ..... Cool finds also ...
Too bad that they felt compelled to call in the BATFE Storm Troopers. I would just as soon have the government in the dark about anything like that if it was on my property.
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin
Great, now I got a sudden craving for "Butterscotch Bits"! Off to Maijer I go..... Yeah, the first thing any self respecting Boy over the age of 3 would do is try to "explore" the bomb shelter in the backyard, what's wrong with those people? It's also a wonder ATF opened the ammo cans, the Bomb Squads around here just blow up any "suspicious packages" they get called out on. Toilet paper and candy all over the block! Oh well, at least we all now know how well a sealed ammo can left underwater for decades will hold up.
Great time capsule from the past. Those were some crazy times. Everyone worried about "the Red Menace" especially after Kruschev banged on his desk with his shoe at the UN and declared "We will bury you."
...and a parody:
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
What Khrushchev was quoted as saying was: "We will bury you, and you will provide the shovels!" And, it looks to me that it is happening exactly that way. Since Nixon went to China back in the 1970a, we have converted China from a third world nation into a Mega Super Power. With their population and America's Technology they now have the power to conquer the world!
Those look to be regular ammo cans...
Hope the stuff i have stored very similarly look that good in fifty years.

New York Doctor Indicted for Student Loan Fraud
Susan W. Brooks, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, announced that MAX NOEL, 39, N. Babylon, New York, was indicted by a federal grand jury sitting in Indianapolis for student loan fraud, following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General.
The indictment alleges that Max NOEL engaged in a fraud on student loan programs guaranteed by the United States Department of Education, by submitting false student loan applications in order to pay for his education at schools that were not eligible to receive Department of Education guaranteed loans. The indictment alleges that from, 1996 to 1999 Noel submitted applications for Department of Education guaranteed loans that contained false or fraudulent information, such as certifications from schools that he did not attend and that did not certify the application.
According to Assistant United States Attorney Winfield D. Ong, who is prosecuting the case for the government, NOEL faces a maximum possible prison sentence of 5 years and a maximum possible fine of $250,000. An initial hearing will be scheduled for NOEL before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Indianapolis.
The indictment is an allegation only, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at trial or by guilty plea.

The Destination
Tucked away in the lush Green Mountains of southern Vermont, the town of Ludlow—population 2,000—turns a fluffy white come wintertime, turning it into the region's premier ski town. In fact, Parents Magazine named it the Top US Family Snow Resort in 2009, and OnTheSnow.com calls it a "world-class resort" and an "outdoor enthusiast's playground."
The Digs
Just minutes from the slopes is The Pointe Hotel. Spacious, recently renovated rooms feature two queen-size beds, high-speed wireless Internet access, a telephone with voicemail, a flat-screen cable TV, a mini-refrigerator, a coffee and tea maker, bathrooms with complimentary toiletries, and more.
Though part of Castle Hill Resort and Spa, The Pointe Hotel brings appetizing amenities of its own to the table, so you can swim in the indoor pool or play in the game room, hit the fitness center, or soak in the hot tub. Indulge in a generous helping of relaxation when you use your $25 credit toward a 50-minute massage at the Aveda Concept Spa inside the property's historic carriage house.
And your trip wouldn't be complete without a meal at Castle Restaurant, where Chef Alphonsus Harris whips up French and American cuisine using local ingredients. Weekday guests can use an included $25 credit toward a prix-fixe dinner for two, starting with appetizers like escargot Florentine or apple-brandy lobster bisque. Then choose an entrée such as beef Wellington or wasabi pea-crusted ahi tuna. Finally, garnish your feast with dessert.
"This is our fourth stay at The Pointe and it is still our favorite place to stay when we ski at Okemo Mountain. The lobby is warm and inviting, the restaurant offers a good breakfast, and the pool and hot tub area offers a tropical escape..."-- Hotels.com

Part 2 on Applying the electrical requirements in Art. 690 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for photovoltaic systems
Discuss this Article 2
"If you run DC input PV system conductors and AC inverter output conductors inside a building or structure, run them in metal raceway, Type MC cable, or metal enclosure [690.31(E)]. "
There has been quite a bit of discussion to the second part of this comment. AC inverter output conductors do not apply to section 690.31(E) as it now specifically only relates to DC. I cannot find any section in the code that states AC inverter output conductors must be run in a metal raceway inside a building to the disconnect. Is there such provision?

The portrait of Elizabeth at the Piano (1875) by the American realist Thomas Eakins will be the centerpiece of this exhibition. The work is on loan from the Addison Gallery of American Art in exchange for the Hyde's loan of Portrait of Henry O. Tanner (1897) by Eakins to the exhibition Portraits of a People: Picturing African Americans in the Nineteenth Century.
The display of this sensitive early portrait of Eakins' sister–in-law Elizabeth Crowell will be augmented by a selection of American portraits from the Hyde's permanent collection and works on loan. The exhibition will also include two remarkable Hyde family portraits, one of Mary Van Ness Hyde (1909) by Edmund Charles Tarbell and, the other, a portrait of Samuel and Polly Hoopes (c.1910) by Alice Ruggles that was recently acquired by the Museum. Other portraits from the collection by George Bellows, Frank Duveneck, and Yasuo Kuniyoshi will round out the presentation.

Latest results for Zeiss lensesMonday March 28 2011 Lens Review
Distagon T25mm f/2.8
This lens is really sharp. But reading its metrics without digging in a bit more is misleading. At first sight one may think that the level of chromatic aberration is huge—25 µm is quite an important figure. But as explained earlier, its location on the field map makes it suddenly almost inconsequential. Nearly the whole field is perfect, except in the extreme corners, which are quite degraded. But this is really limited to a tiny external portion of the field, whereas when mounted on a APS-C sensor, this very same phenomenon occupies a bigger part of the frame, but still limited at 7 µm. Curiously enough, this time, 25 µm may be preferable to 7 µm.
The behavior of this lens, coupled with its focal length, make it a very good choice for landscape shooting and also for reportage when associated with an APS-C sensor with a 1.5x crop factor.
Its best DxOMark low-light performance score (150 Lux – 1/60th) is achieved at f/4, whereas for the best mid-light performance (5000 Lux – 1/125th), the lens has to be stopped down to f/5.6.
On a full-frame sensor (D3X):
Full aperture delivers a good central zone, representing a good first one-third of the frame. But the remaining portion lies between 20 and 30 lp/mm. Stopping down to f/5.6 makes this same area much sharper, and the second one-third of the frame quite good, standing above 50lp/mm. Only the corners remain soft. At f/11 these corners manage to reach 50lp/mm, although the central zone softens a bit (but still remaining quite sharp).
Vignetting is very pronounced a full aperture. Stopping down to f/5.6 and smaller improves things a lot, and only the last one-third of the map remains 1/3 EV darker, which is easy to compensate for.
On an APS-C sensor (D300s):
Full aperture delivers a very soft image, with the whole frame showing a resolution below 40lp/mm. Stopping down to f/4 improves things in the center, but going to f/5.6 and f/8 makes it even better with two-thirds of the field achieving above 50lp/mm. Closing to f/11 again reduces the resolution.
Vignetting is quite visible when the lens is fully opened, but completely disappears as soon as the lens is stopped down to f/4 or smaller apertures.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Carl Zeiss is one of those almost mythical lens makers. Focusing on quality, its lenses almost always rely on complex optical formulas. Their price reflects this involvement in quality, and logically Zeiss lenses are on the same shelves as the very high-end Canon or Nikon models.

Most Broken Game: Stockholm Syndrome
Posted on 10th Sep 2010 at 11:32 by Phil Hartup with 12 comments
I'm not too worried about the enemies though – they'll fall easily to my Desert Eagle lookalike and its mysteriously small five round clip. If worst comes to worse I've got a big, square jeep which, though it handles like a hippo on an ice rink, I'm relying on to take me and the hostages to safety. No, what I'm really worried about is the bugs.
Any diary of the actual assault would end up reading like an Andy McNab novel that's been used for toilet paper and it's pointless to recall the details anyway. Suffice it to say that my first attempt to sneak into the base ended when a levitating jungle cat cut me off on my way to the base. The second go was much the same; my gun jammed inexplicably, so after the first bullet I was only able to defend myself with cusswords and fierce glares.

Assassin's Creed successor? Yeah, we believe it.

Ubisoft returns 1666: Amsterdam rights to Assassin's Creed creator
Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets can forge ahead with the IP he lost in THQ's dissolution.
1666 was "the new Assassin's Creed" - Désilets
1666 was going to be the next big thing, according to Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets.
Désilets suing Ubisoft, wants 1666: Amsterdam rights
Patrice Désilets has filed a lawsuit against Ubisoft in which he is seeking $400,000 and the rights to purchase 1666, which was apparently subtitled Amsterdam.
Ubisoft: 1666 suspended, two new titles in 2013
Ubisoft announced today during its call to investors that it has suspended development of 1666, one of the projects it picked during the THQ Auction in January. According to the firm's CEO, Ubisoft couldn't "align its vision on development and team management" with Patrice Désilets.
Ubisoft has fired THQ Montreal's Jean-Francois Boivin, according to Désilets
Patrice Désilets has said over Twitter that he wasn't the only developer fired by Ubisoft yesterday.
Leaving Ubisoft "was not my decision," says Désilets
Ubisoft has announced the departure of Patrice Désilets once again, after rumors of his leaving and the cancellation of his projects surfaced earlier. Since the confirmation by Ubisoft, Désilets has since said he was fired from the company.
Ubisoft: "We're very happy to look forward to working with" Désilets again
Ubisoft has elaborated a bit more on its THQ Montreal purchase, stating that the firm is "happy" over the possibility of "working with" Patrice Désilets again despite his departure back in 2010 to help build THQ's Canadian studio.
Ubisoft issues South Park, THQ Montreal statement: new IP confirmed
Ubisoft won big at the THQ auction this week, snapping up South Park: The Stick of Truth and THQ Montreal. The publisher has now issued a full statement on the matter, that confirms THQ Montreal's development of an unannounced new IP, which could be Patrice Désilets new title '1666', or a game known as 'Underdog.
THQ sold to "stalking horse," files for bankruptcy
THQ has confirmed it's sold "substantially all of the assets" to a "stalking horse bidder," affiliates of Clearlake Capital Group.

THQ has registered new website domains for not only the next Saints Row, but its 1666 project which popped up back in March via a trademark application.

quote: I tell candidates that if they want an MBA, then go to one of the top five schools: Wharton, Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Kellogg. If they cannot get into one of these schools, then don't even go to another school. The return on investment is just not there.
was it worth it?
This, in our local area we're seeing that many companies and recruiters view MBA's without legitimate leadership experience as an unproven commodity.
is there going to be a shift towards some other post grad degree/study?
My employer now is paying for me to get my MBA as we speak. I had no interest in paying for it; however, if they want to pay the bill then I don't mind getting a little extra on my resume for future use.
I agree with him for the most part, but there is also some value on getting an MBA and working in the same city/area. For example, an MBA from Emory university in Atlanta carries a lot of weight if you work in the Atlanta area afterwards.
If you are living in ATL, it is ridiculous to say that getting a MBA from GT/UGA/Emory doesn't add value.
Doc Fenton
I do and I've found the "total cost to attend" figures to be a worst case scenario. Prior to enrolling, my projected payback was around 5 years. Now with real numbers, it will be about 1 year. I had overestimated the costs, underestimated my summer compensation and exit salary and not considered any tuition reimbursement from my future employer. My only guess is Wharton has a higher percentage of students who had high paying jobs prior to b-school, saved little, and racked up debt in order to continue that lifestyle into b-school.
Viewing the job pool as a pyramid with service jobs at the bottom and CEOs at the top, the MBA was intended to prepare men/women for the top of the pyramid.
My general advice is to recognize the writing on the wall that generalized degrees are falling out of favor. If you can get a specialized degree that enhances your skills in a specialized technical area, then that is typically a smart move to make. Try to avoid the professional schools (business, law, & medicine) with absurd tuition rates and a job factory approach to things.

Welcome to Cincy: The Charming Queen City
Crowne Plaza Hotel Cincinnati North • Cincinnati, OH
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Up to Four
- Four Passes to Coco Keys Water Park
The Destination
Cincinnati's mention in Lonely Planet's Top 10 US travel destinations for 2012 is a crowning achievement for a city that's been steadily on the rise. While Cincy has Southern leanings (Kentucky bluegrass grows just across the Ohio River), its distinct flavor emerges in its ballparks, verdant riverwalks, cobblestone districts, and Findlay Market—one of the nation's oldest open-air marketplaces. Between hip boroughs like Northside—the go-to for indie vinyl shops and garden-side vegan dining—and the 19th-century Victorian townhouses that face John Roebling's Suspension Bridge, Queen City's enclaves are each a unique and welcomed royal treat.
The Digs
Set amid a quiet suburban setting yet only 25 minutes from the city's busy downtown, Crowne Plaza Cincinnati North is a quaint yet contemporary hotel close to many of the city's most popular landmarks. Well-kept suites feature beds outfitted with plump pillows and vibrant patterns, private bathrooms with full tubs, double-glazed windows, and custom-controlled air conditioning. On-site Tradewinds Restaurant serves a continental breakfast buffet on weekdays and all-American fare on Saturdays and Sundays. A newly renovated fitness center, a full business center with free Wi-Fi, and an indoor and seasonal outdoor pool round out a host of convenient amenities.
The Diversions
• CoCo Key Waterpark
• Kings Island
• Cincinnati Zoo
• EnterTRAINment Junction
• Queen City Racquet and Fitness
• The Wet Rooster Bar
"We had an amazing stay... Upon arrival we found out there is a water park attached to the hotel... The kids loved it. It was so clean, and the people were very friendly. When not at the water park, we played in the arcade."-- Hotels.com

WORLD'S LARGEST SPORTING RIFLE TO GO ON DISPLAY IN LEEDS - Friday, 6 July 2012
The world's largest and most powerful genuine sporting rifle is set to go on permanent display in the Hunting Gallery at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.
Commissioned by Royal Armouries to mark the Second Millennium, the 2-bore forms part of a set of three – including the Raven Shotgun and Tiffany revolver.
Although it's never been fired in anger, the gun is capable of taking down not just an elephant – but creatures on the scale of a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Weighing 26lbs, the weapon was made by renowned English gunmaker Giles Whittome and took several years to complete, due to unforeseen manufacturing delays and safety issues.
He presented the rifle to Mr Wes Paul, Chairman of the Royal Armouries' Board of Trustees, in a handing-over ceremony at the Tower of London.
Wes said, "This rifle illustrates why British sporting gun making remains the very best in the world. Its design harks back to a time when, not much more than a century or so ago, large parts of the world remained unexplored.
"The adventurer, hunter or explorer would travel to these wild, remote and dangerous places prepared for anything that may endanger life, facing huge personal challenges but comforted by the knowledge of the quality of the technology at their disposal. It is a tribute to the likes of Frederick Courteney Selous and other pioneers and heroes of the past."
Giles – who has fired the gun – said, "When you pull the trigger, it's like presiding over your own personal earthquake and you want it right first time.
"I used to control elephants in Tanganyika many years ago with the Game Department. Experienced control officers would always tell me that when being charged by six tons of angry elephant, any gun you are holding would appear too small. Well this gun is not designed to take down an elephant – but a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
The two-bore rifle is made of British steel, decorated with traditional English scroll engraving, a figure 2 to mark the Second Millennium, and the famous Royal Armouries "horned helmet" on the knoxform.
Giles added, "The inspiration for this gun came from a Henry harpoon gun in the Royal Armouries' collection, which I repaired many years ago. Only a reasonably fit and strong man can fire it safely. The biggest and best, always fires the imagination – and this gun does not fail on any count."

CEH Self Study books suggestion
my first post in the forum I'm planning to study for CEH and while googling found this site, I've already read questions about self study option and the suggested books and I've tried to build my "list" of books and was wondering if it is enough or need something more.
I would love to attend an official course/bootcamp but honesly I lack the time to attend the course (yeah sometimes even a week of absence can be a pain!) so self study is the only option to me.
The books I was going to buy are the following :
Official Certified Ethical Hacker Review Guide
Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Attack Phases
Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Threats and Defense Mechanisms
Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Secure Network Infrastructures
Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Web Applications and Data Servers
Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Linux, Macintosh and Mobile Systems
Of course everything will be backed up with a lab where to test and have fun. Keep in mind I'm not much interested in the certification per se btu on the knowledge and skill you learn along the way, do you think this can be enough for the exam? Or it is too much/less? Any advice, suggestion or addition to the above list would be greatly appreciated!
Keep in mind I'm a trainer and Linux sysadmin in life so not properly a noobie in the industry.
I'll look forward your precious advices!

RYAN Clarke and Andy Whing will miss Oxford United's pre-season after it emerged the pair need operations.
Clarke, United's player of the season, requires surgery to correct a long-standing problem affecting a bone in one of the goalkeeper's feet.
Whing has been suffering with a hip injury and will go under the knife tomorrow.
Both will be ruled out of pre-season, while Clarke is expected to miss the first month of the 2014/15 campaign, which begins on August 9.

Agreed! I had a fantastic time! I planned my ride and rode my plan LOL Didn't know what a hedgehog was, and now I do. I learn something in every rally.
Many high points - on the bike, too many to mention. VA 606 comes to mind as well as US 58 just east of the BRP. Off the bike, Mikey and I screaming like little girls and running off that suspension bridge near Oriskany, VA (N37 36.300 W79 59.649). And a delicious lunch at a coffee shop in Stuart, VA. And cosmos at Outback (after the rally of course, I wasn't THAT relaxed). The bartender was awesome and gave Mikey one in a glass with some ice so people didn't think he really was my little sister
Hey HK,
Was that you sitting across the bar from me, Hotch and Al Olsen in Outback after the Rally banquet? If so, I remember seeing a blonde girl (with a cat!), sitting with who I took to be her little sister! (guess the glass and ice didn't help!)
