The reign of Henry the VIII is just about fool-proof, and never tires in the re-telling. It's a kind of Passion play with a rich cast of secondary characters — Wolsey, Cromwell, Thomas More. All of these court intrigues become subsumed in the Passion of Anne Boleyn, as we anticipate her not-uncertain fate. The familiarity of the story only enhances the pleasure.
Not so ingrained is the story of the Renaissance Pope Alexander VI and the various fractious Italian states. (The "King of Naples"? Really?) So the creators of The Borgias (Neil Jordan is executive producer) can play fast and loose with history, but that's also a disadvantage. Where, exactly, is the story?
To catch you up: Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons) has attained the papacy through cunning and subterfuge. He and his bastard children — the hot-blooded but noble Cesare (François Arnaud), the hot-blooded and scurrilous Juan (David Oakes), the nubile if not unintelligent Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger), and the pubescent Joffre (Aidan Alexander), betrothed to Sancia of Naples (Emmanuelle Chriqui!). The estranged mommy (a courtesan!) is ensconced nearby. Meanwhile, Alexander's current mistress, Giulia Farnese (Lotte Verbeek) flits in and out of the papal bedchamber.
A pope with a handful of "out" bastard children, cavorting openly with his mistress — what could be better for a historical soap? As Juan says at one point, "Lechery and debauchery are the very mark of nobility." There is, of course, moral outrage, in the person of Florence's Savonarola and, most important, Cardinal Della Rovere (Colm Feore), who is determined to oust Alexander and return the Vatican to the "true Church," even at the expense of paving the way for King Charles VIII of France's invasion of the papal states.
So there's plenty of action in the bedroom, on the battlefield, and in the confessional (where one unlucky servant of the pope is stabbed through the confessional screen — and his eye — by his confessor). It doesn't matter that Charles's invasion of Italy didn't come off quite as depicted in the series (and he appears to have died at a much younger age than the appealingly froggy and droll Charles as played by Michel Muller). What really compels us is the opulently photographed silks, satins, and sex, the blood and gore, and the equally opulent dialogue and melodramatic turns of plot. Will Lucrezia escape the clutches of her evil husband, Giovanni Sforza (Ronan Vibert)? Will Cesare ever be reunited with Ursula Bonadeo, for whom he fights a deadly duel ("You will find a nunnery but you will never be free of me!")? Will Charles take Naples?
Well, consult Wiki for the last. With all its melodramatic intrigues, The Tudors was really about something, and it more or less explained the religious wars that raged for hundreds of years and, transmogrified, still rage. It was about power in its real, historical manifestation. It was about England. We knew the stakes. It's difficult to know what's at stake for Rodrigo Borgia other than the security of his own dynasty.

What are these wierd IP addresses?
There were many connections to and from my machine using different protocols even when I am not using any Internet-based programs.
Here are some examples:
ICMP (my IP connects to their IPs but their IPs do not connect to my IP) - all "destination unreachable".
Whois shows I am connecting to (for example):
Comcast Cable Communications
Hungarian Telecom
Telefonica de Espana
UCOM Corp (Japan)
TENET (Ukraine)
TCP (my IP contacts their IPs and their IPs contact my IP).
Whois shows the connections are between (for example).
NC Numericable S.A. (France)
Charter Communications (USA)
Saudi Telecoms
UDP (their IPs connect to my IP but my IP does not connect to their IPs).
Whois shows their connections are from (for example):
Verizion Internet
HINET (Taiwan)
Arrowhead (Denmark)
Do you know what these IPs might represent? I am not manually (e.g. via HTTP) connecting to any of these networks.

And we came out a little flat in the 3rd quarter and gave NO some hope when we gave up that big play, but unlike in the past..THEY FOUGHT BACK

JPMorgan: S&P at 1,715
JPMorgan strategist Thomas Lee has finally decided to join the herd. He's gone from seeing a correction in the stock market, to deciding there won't be a correction to finally, today, predicting the Standard & Poor's 500 index will gain another 3% this year to end 2013 at 1,715.
That's not say he's turned into a raging bull -- more of a cautious optimist, perhaps. As he writes:
The timing of an increase in the target is not ideal as equity prices hover near highs. On the other hand, we do not believe investors should be paring their holdings. To be incrementally constructive on equities, investors ultimately have to expect stronger economic growth—at least compared to consensus expectations. In our recent conversations with investors, consensus seems to have difficulty imagining the US economy accelerating given the headwinds of Europe, China, high unemployment in US, and the negative signals from the downturn in commodities. There are clues growth is likely strengthening. Consider the outperformance of Semiconductors and Transports YTD. Or the steepening of the 10y vs. 30y yield curve. In our view, these historically have been reliable market indicators of improving growth.
Lee's previous call for the S&P's year-end level was 1,580.
Lee's report also highlights out a few stocks that JPMorgan analysts think will lead the market through the end of the year. The top pick is AVG Technologies (AVG), which based on its target price could rise 35%; also mentioned are Hologic (HOLX) and Carlyle Group (CG), which have an implied upside of 23% and 22%, respectively. The largest company in the top 20 stocks is Pfizer (PFE), which based on its target price could rise about 12% by the end of the year.

TXT L8R: Faces of distraction in view
Thousands die each year due to distracted driving
Bend, Ore. - It's a painful reality for thousands of family every year, distracted drives claims lives. Now, a federal website, distraction.gov is highlighting some of these stories, trying to convince you to put the phone down when behind the wheel.
"In the center of the roadway is where the driver hit Calli and killed her instantly," said Al Andres, who lost his 2-year-old granddaughter.
"You couldn't miss seeing him for hundreds of yards if you were looking at the road," said Bob Okerblom, who lost his teenage son.
The drive to stop distracted driving has reached a level of concern similar to the push to slow drunk driving in the 1980s. Nearly 3,100 people died in 2010 as a result of distracted driving, prompting Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to call it an epidemic.
Here at NewsChannel 21, we're leading a central Oregon community effort to stop texting while driving. Head to the TXTL8R webpage on our Website and take a short pledge, committing yourself to putting your phone down while driving, because a text is not worth a life.
"It's just not about numbers. It means somebody received a phone call saying, 'I'm sorry, there's been an accident. Your loved one didn't make it,'" said Laurie Hevier, who lost her mom.

BlackBerry: Street Cuts Estimates Further Amidst Buyout Uncertainty
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are down 11 cents, or 1.4%, at $7.92, as analysts digest the fiscal Q2 results released Friday in the context of an ongoing effort to take the company private. The current share price is below the $9 take-out price that Fairfax Financial Holdings, BlackBerry's largest investor, proposed a week ago.
Note that The Globe and Mail's Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff on Saturday had a good, lengthy article involving interviews with two dozen former BlackBerry staffers about what happened over six years to cause BlackBerry to lose its lead in smartphones.
Among the revelations of that article is the substantial division that emerged inside of BlackBerry. Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis wanted the first new phones using the BB10 operating system to be keyboard-based, but he was over-ruled by CEO Thorsten Heins, who led with the touch-based Z10 in January of this year, releasing the Q10 only months later. And former co-CEO Jim Balisillie wanted to turn BlackBerry in the direction of licensing BBM broadly to carriers as a replacement to SMS texting, building a high-volume messaging business. But he was over-ruled by both Lazaridis and Heins.
Analysts today are adjusting estimates downward, even after having slashed estimates when BlackBerry first pre-announced the disastrous quarter a week earlier.
R.W. Baird's Will Power today reiterates a Neutral rating on the shares and a $9 price target, writing that the overall corporate adjusted gross margin of 36.2% implies that "device margins have tipped into negative territory again."
Power thinks the Fairfax offer limits downside for the shares.
Power cut his estimate for the current quarter to $1.29 billion in revenue and a 63-cent loss per share, down form a prior $1.36 billion and negative 40 cents a share. For the full year, he cut his numbers to $7.13 billion and a $1.81 loss from a prior $7.3 billion and $1.47 per share.
Bernstein Research's Pierre Ferragu raised his rating on the shares to Market Perform from Underperform writing that the risk-reward calculation no longer favors betting against the Fairfax deal going through:
As more details, or lack thereof, emerge about the Fairfax takeover deal, the chances of the deal going through appear grimmer […] As Fairfax, BlackBerry's largest shareholder, is not willing to commit any more equity, we think it will be unlikely that enough other investors would join the bid that sounds like a last chance rescue attempt for Fairfax's stake. The press reported that Canadian pension funds might be interested in providing the additional equity. We understand there could be some distant interest there, given the specific Canadian twist of the operation and the heavy emotional side of the operation for Canada, but we believe only one or two funds may feel confident investing that much money in such a risky venture. We doubt any financial institution outside of Canada will demonstrate any interest […] The recent stock price reflects a ~75% probability that the Fairfax-led consortium succeeds in pulling together a $9 per share offer. We think this is still a generous probability, but we now see the risk reward of remaining exposed not sufficiently attractive. We would find difficult to have a conviction that the consortium has a probability of success below 50%, to which our price target corresponds and that represent only a 13% downside on the recent stock price.
Ferragu thinks BlackBerry is unlikely to have any liquidity issues with its existing $2.6 billion in cash, assuming it can "stabilize even a small user base."
But he's also skeptical its new focus will yield much upside:
The consumer and prosumer market represent today 20m-30m users for BlackBerry. Although it represents juicy service revenue today, we understand the migration to BlackBerry 10 will seriously dent this source of revenues, and the smartphone opportunity remains limited on such a small user base. Moreover, we believe the company will have to fight against attrition and is very unlikely to grow this user base in the mid-term. We have gathered a lot of evidence of companies considering a move away from BlackBerry. All in all, we expect BlackBerry to face a steep deceleration of sales on all fronts in the next couple of years and the company's P&L to remain in the red despite heavy cost cutting.
Ferragu thinks the shares could fall to $5 if no deal gets done:
If no acquisition emerges, we do not see any valuation floor before $5 a share. Expectations for the near term will have to be revised significantly and reflect the structural losses likely to occur in the next two years. Material cash burn will also weigh on the stock and news flow will be terrible, with more and more corporate users likely announcing a move away from BlackBerry and continued worrying feedback from distribution channels, in our opinion. The next valuation support for the stock should be the lower end of our valuation range.
Ferragu cut his estimate for this year's profit to $1.25 loss per share from a prior $1.03, while he actually trimmed his loss estimate for next year to $1.42 from a prior $1.57.
Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley reiterates a Hold rating on the stock, and cuts his price target to $7 from $9, writing that he's lowered his sum-of-the-parts valuation of the stock, which he thinks is the best way to think about the stock "Given our belief BlackBerry will struggle to generate sustained profits longer-term, even post the significant planned restructuring."
Following Apple's IP purchase of the majority of Nortel's assets and Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility mainly for patents, we believe patent valuations have returned to more normal levels as the two companies with the largest businesses to protect have made significant patent purchases. As such, we value BlackBerry's patents at roughly $1.5B or below the $3.5B value on BlackBerry's balance sheet, as we believe a material portion of BlackBerry's intangible assets are in fact pre-paid royalties that would have minimal value to any potential acquirer not in the smartphone hardware business […] while BlackBerry has roughly $2.6B in cash exiting the August quarter representing a decline in cash of roughly $500M during the quarter, we assign a much lower value of $1.0B to BlackBerry's net cash in our sum of parts analysis because 1) we do not rule out further inventory write-downs, particularly associated with BlackBerry Q10 products our global surveys indicate are selling through poorly, 2) we believe future severance payments needed to downsize the business following a potential acquisition could use a material portions of BlackBerry's cash, and 3) BlackBerry holds significant off balance sheet contractual commitments. In fact, BlackBerry had $6.3B in total commitments exiting F2013, of which $4.9B were purchase order commitments with suppliers. While we do not anticipate BlackBerry will be ultimately held to pay these commitments in full given its financial struggles and shifting business model, we believe it prudent to discount BlackBerry's current net cash balance to account for likely cash settlements to close these commitments along with other liabilities.

I have both 74 vented and non vented. Can you see an advantage with the 74 vented?
I used a 74 GT because the one that came OEM on the Saiga was a 74 type GT (no vent holes and w/o HG retainers) but a ventilated 47 may be a better idea. FWIW, the 74 GT gives 100% cycling everytime. I never experimented with a 47 GT
Did I do that?
I have both 74 vented and non vented. Can you see an advantage with the 74 vented?
Only things I can think of is that vented would shorten/lessen the initial impulse force to the bolt carrier which might lead to short stroking with certain brands of ammo. On the positive side, the vented should lessen the amount of crap blown down the gas tube during cycling and may lessen the impact force of the bolt carrier on the rear trunnion at full stroke.
The different type gas tubes should be just a drop in piece such that you can try both if you want to experiment. I just went with the non vented because that's the configuration that the Saiga had when purchased and figured there was a good reason for it but would be interesting to see what effect the vents had on cycling.
Did I do that?
Does it have a bullet guide or did you install one??
No & no. It doesn't need one due to the shape of the lip on the Saiga OEM magazine and also on the Sure Fire brand 25 round aftermarket mags which act as the bullet guide. I don't believe there is even any room on the trunnion with the placement of the barrel to even put a bullet guide in if you wanted to.
It's not like the 7.62 Saiga where there are mil surp magazines that can be used and you can install a bullet guide. I do not know of any mil surp 308 mags that are configured such that would allow use in the Saiga 308 even if a bullet guide would fit on the trunnion.
BTW: The Saiga 308 uses a rivet to initialize bolt rotation versus using a ramp on a bullet guide
Did I do that?
ok, good. I think I have everything ready to go, now to order a rifle.
OK, another question.
On the FSB, did you turn down the barrel only or did you enlarge the ID of the FSB also?
Barrel only down to slight interference fit such that Bulgarian 74 FSB was snug when pressed into place. Required about as much force on the press as needed to press in a Bulgy 74 trunnion pin.....not much. The barrel was turned down to where just about all the original half holes from the original FSB were removed....only a small part of them remained afterwords.
If ya can't kill it with a .308, you can always gut 'em
Did I do that?
I took a east german hand guard retainer cut off the part that slides over the barrel then made a bushing the same o.d. as the barrel. I split the bushing in the middle then welded up 2 U-shaped sides drilling them and fitting them with a 8-24 machine screw to pinch it on to the barrel.

The owl-falcon smiles with demonic, googly-eyes and a wide, maniacal, fanged grin. Bird #1, as Providence Cody Thompson calls his creation, is an array of rainbow-hued sequins and beads that he stitched to a bright magenta cloth bordered with blue and gold ribbons and blue fringe. The bird raises its wings in a brilliant display of flower-shaped sequins.
"Witch Doctor," Thompson's terrific exhibit of beaded and sequined banners at Craftland (235 Westminster Street, Providence, through June 11), takes its inspiration from traditional Haitian voodoo (or vodou) banners, with hints of '80s glam. The Haitian creations usually arrange sequins to depict African deities, Catholic saints, and charged symbols that come from the tradition's brew of African and European faiths. Thompson adapts this vibrant look to depict his own sparkly scenes.
In the past, Thompson has stitched together dolls — like those in the "Boys of Summer" exhibit at Craftland in 2009 — including cute, soft, morbidly witty flower-petal head figures, Hindu deities, a leather-clad bondage dude, an astronaut, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, a woman with a cracked head laying in a pool of blood, and a naked guy suckling at a she-wolf based on the founding Roman twins Romulus and Remus. You could unzip some of them and remove the soft fabric organs inside. The dolls were by turns charming and alarming, like rascal Muppets run deliciously amok.
Here Thompson evidences the same level of skill, while adopting a more cosmic outlook. One banner features blue and black sequined pyramids shining under a blue and white sequin moon and bead stars. Another banner shows the moon in sparkly green and silver sequins on a blue velvet night sky.
A misstep is a jokey banner showing a ring of eight planets with the Disney cartoon dog Pluto in the center. And some may be rubbed the wrong way by a pair of dolls that are caricatures of "savages" with rings around their necks and grass skirts.
When he's on, Thompson uses the Haitian banner style to turn mundane things fabulous, as in Victory, which shows a mouse dead in a Victory brand trap. But mostly Thompson makes fabulous things more fabulous like an owl shimmering under the sequined slogan "remember," or a quartet of white mice circling a poisonous orange, black and yellow coral snake coiled in an interlaced pattern.
Traditional handcraft has become of the most vital strains of fine art today. It arises out of the ashes of the end of mainline Modernist art in the 1960s and '70s. Minimalism pared down art to its elemental essentials. Then Conceptual art dematerialized art altogether in favor of ideas. Meanwhile, the past generation has grown synthetic as more and more artists turn over the creation of their works to assistants and outside contractors.
In the art world, you can begin a crafty lineage with the soft fabric Pop art sculptures of the '60s, which were among the first works to push traditional women's crafts — sewing, quilting, weaving — into the center of the art world. At the end of Modernism, artists were craving a return to imagery and beauty and wildcat energy. And Modernist artists have, of course, long mined art outside the precincts of "fine" art for raw energy — Gauguin posed as a Tahitian naïf, Picasso borrowed from African masks, Jackson Pollock fancied himself a Native American shaman, and Pop artists ripped off comic books.

", but sales figures suggest otherwise. Major Microsoft partner Samsung has
that it won't be releasing a Windows RT tablet in the United States because of poor demand. Samsung has left the door open to introduce a RT device later if the market demands it. So far, that demand seems unlikely.
recently had an interview with Microsoft corporate vice president for Windows planning Michael Angiulo. During the talk the Microsoft executive spent some time focusing on what makes Windows RT important for Microsoft.
Angiulo stated, "It was a ton of work for us and we didn't do the work and endure the disruption for any reason other than the fact that there's a strategy there that just gets stronger over time. Looking at things now like power performance and standby time and passive [fanless] form factors. When we launched windows 8, it was really competitive with a full-sized iPad. A lot of that was made possible by the ARM [chip] architecture."
In addition, Angiulo talked a bit about complaints of legacy software not working on Windows RT. He said, "People are talking about legacy desktop software not running, but they don't think about the customer benefit of only running modern apps. The only apps that you install from the Windows store are the kind, that as a customer, you can manage your rights to."
Angiulo also believes that ARM-powered tablets will have a higher percentage shipping that feature mobile broadband because the devices have longer battery life the comparable Intel platform devices. Battery life is a big selling factor for ARM-powered devices, and increased power consumption continues to be a downside to Intel hardware in the tablet and mobile market.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

Yesterday, Democrats for Public Education (DFPE) released the results of a poll that supposedly shows a high degree of public support for their agenda:
All of the progressive reforms elicit solid majority endorsement (ranging from 60% to 80% buy-in), while none of the conservative reforms come remotely close to a majority (ranging from 40% to 10% buy-in). Note the steep drop-off from the last progressive reform (increase teacher pay) to the top conservative reform (test scores for teacher evaluations). [Emphasis in the original.]
What an amazing coincidence! The public favors exactly what DFPE proposes!
But let's look at how they phrased the "proposed reforms":
Notice how all the so-called "progressive reforms" sound positive ("engaging curriculum" "overcome challenges") and sometimes even explicitly connect the reform to some positive outcome ("help disadvantaged students"). Are teachers' "due process rights" (read: tenure) really about their ability to "advocate for the things that students need" or more about protecting incompetent teachers from being fired?

Storage Ottomans
An ottoman is an essential option for the living room. It makes the space feel complete while creating a place to put your feet up or sit and chat. However, they can also take up valuable space, so by opting for an ottoman with storage, you can have your ottman while adding essential storage space. At Crate and Barrel, we have a variety of well designed ottomans to choose from. Learn more about the storage ottoman options we offer.
Small Ottomans
A compact ottoman is terrific as a side table next to a chair for resting a book or magazine. It can also be easily moved around the room and provide extra seating wherever you need it. Lift off the top and reveal a space that can store remotes, game controls, pet toys and other items you want out of sight to keep the room neat and tidy. Our compact pieces are made with durable materials, such as bonded leather and engineered wood, and are available in a variety of colors including blue, red and orange. The top can double as a tray when entertaining guests and provide a convenient surface for serving drinks and snacks.
Large Ottomans
We also have larger storage ottomans that are often a part of a complete upholstery collection. When used together with a sofa or sleeper from the same grouping, they create a pulled together look in your living space. Our larger ottomans are upholstered in the same stock fabrics and leathers as other pieces in their coordinating collections and can be custom ordered to create your own personal look. Some have a slipcovered option, adding an element of ease when it comes to care. The tops spring open on durable safety hinges that lock open so you don't have to hold the top up when placing something inside or when taking something out. Large storage ottomans are a terrific place for storing extra pillows and throws. If you have a sleeper sofa, an ottoman with storage is a great piece to consider, as it is a perfect place to keep extra bedding and blankets used on the sleeper sofa close at hand. Large ottomans can double as a coffee table in a living room or as a storage bench in a bedroom. Many of Crate and Barrel's storage ottoman options are available with casters, so they are easy to move out of the way when necessary.
Shop our selection of storage ottomans and find the perfect fit for your space and style.

3 Fit Facts Found in Marathon and Triathlon Training
The marathon is a 26.2 mile adventure and is seen as the ultimate test of character, discipline, and fitness by many. If you have your sights set on finishing a marathon, take a moment to learn about the basics of training for this exciting endurance event.
Your specific approach to half-marathon training will depend on multiple variables: the time available to train, running background (novice vs. experienced runner), current fitness level and mileage, willingness to commit to a training plan and ability to learn to listen to your body.That said, if you're patient and willing to put in the time to develop the endurance to run 13.
Whether it is your first or your fiftieth marathon, the feeling is identical when you cross the finish line: exhilaration, which, at some point, gives way to the tired, achy feeling that inevitably comes from logging more than 26 miles in a single stretch.
Too frequently, runners ignore what their bodies are telling them and continue with their regular training.

To be prepared for an emergency, you should:
1. Recognize the sound of the evacuation alarm.
2. Know at least two ways out of the building from your regular workspace.
3. Know the predetermined meeting location for your unit.
When you hear the evacuation alarm or are verbally instructed to begin evacuating the building:
1. Try to make sure that all members of your department hear the alarm and evacuate the area by quickly checking nearby restrooms, copier rooms, storage rooms, etc., as you exit.
2. Use the nearest stairway. Do not use the elevator.
3. If requested, accompany and assist persons with disabilities.
4. Shut all doors behind you as you go. Closed doors can slow the spread of fire, smoke, and water.
5. Evacuate as quickly as possible but in an orderly manner. Do not push or shove.
6. Once outside, move at least 100 feet from the building or follow the instructions of emergency personnel on the scene. Stay away from building entrances to avoid interfering with emergency personnel or equipment.

Stand up! I am applauding! You are marvelous..
Your words painted a picture of 4H and the good things I have enjoyed. Candy Jewett has brought all sorts of animals including her EMU's through Alamo as part of 4H. But your article painted that 4H picture so clearly that your readers could SEE the animals and the people that participate in 4H.
The humor might go, "Laura had a little lamb and the Doctor was surprised." But the celebration is Laura had a little lamb and your words were the real picture of the value of 4H.
Nice work!

Maine 50-Meter Wind Map
More Information
The U.S. Department of Energy's (Energy Department's) Wind Program and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory published a 50-meter height wind resource map for Maine. This map is a key piece of understanding the state's wind resource potential from a development, policy, and a jobs and economic development impact perspective.
About the 50-Meter Maine Wind Resource Map
This resource map shows estimates of wind power density at 50 m above the ground and depicts the resource that could be used for community-scale wind development using wind turbines at 50-60-m hub heights.
As a renewable resource, wind was classified according to wind power classes, which were based on wind speed frequency distributions and air density. These classes ranged from Class 1 (the lowest) to Class 7 (the highest). In general, at a 50-m height, wind power Class 4 or higher could have been useful for generating wind power with turbines in the 250-kW to 750-kW rating. Given the advances in technology, resources below Class 4 may now be suitable for the new midsize wind turbines. In recognition of these continuing advancements in wind energy technologies and the ability for the current generation of wind turbines to extract cost competitive wind energy from lower wind speeds the Energy Department has moved away from the wind power classification system and now reports wind speeds only.
This map indicates that Maine has wind resources consistent with community-scale production. The good-to-excellent wind resource areas are concentrated in two main regions. The first region contains the offshore islands in bays and the Gulf of Maine. The second region contains the ridge crests in the north-central and northwestern part of Maine.
Note: Wind resource at a micro level can vary significantly; therefore, you should get a professional evaluation of your specific area of interest.

At the 2013 Scripps National Spelling Bee, Arvind Mahankali was determined not to let a word of German origin stump him. The 13-year-old speller had finished in third place at the 2011 and 2012 bees. Both times, he was eliminated on German-based words.
But on Thursday night, Arvind correctly spelled "knaidel," a word from German-derived Yiddish, to win the bee, which was held in Oxon Hill, Maryland, and aired live on ESPN. A knaidel is a small mass of leavened dough commonly used in soups. Some may know it as a dumpling. Arvind could barely contain his smile as he heard the word and prepared to spell it. "The German curse has turned into a German blessing," Arvind told an ESPN host after his win.
A Redefined Bee
Arvind faced some tough obstacles this year, from both his fellow contestants and bee officials. In April, Scripps announced that the 281 spellers who qualified for the national bee would be tested on both spelling and vocabulary. For the first time in the contest's 87-year history, vocabulary tests were given. Contestants answered computer-based, multiple-choice vocabulary questions in the preliminary and semifinal rounds. The new rule was made to further encourage contestants to learn useful skills. "Spelling and vocabulary are, in essence, two sides of the same coin," Paige Kimble, the bee's executive director, said in a statement.
The vocabulary test got this year's contestants buzzing with mixed reactions. Some spellers wondered why the new rule wasn't announced earlier. "It was kind of a different challenge," said Vismaya Kharkar, 14, of Bountiful, Utah. "I've been focusing my studying on the spelling for years and years."
The vocabulary test didn't stop Vismaya from advancing to the finals, where he tied for 5th place with 11-year-old Vanya Shivashankar. Pranav Sivakuma, 13, finished second after misspelling "cyanophyscean," a word for a blue-green alga. Sriran Hathwar, 13, finished third, and Amber Born, 14, came in fourth.
Arvind, an eighth grader from Bayside, Queens, is the sixth consecutive Indian-American to win the bee. He's also the first boy to win since 2008. Arvind made his first trip to the finals of the bee in 2010, when he finished ninth. This year's victory came in his final year of eligibility. He's walking away with a big trophy as well as $30,000 in cash and a $2,500 savings bond.
What will Arvind do this summer, now that he doesn't have to memorize dictionary words? "I shall spend the summer studying physics," said the aspiring physicist.

Lee Bul studied sculpture at Hong Ik University in Seoul, South Korea, graduating in 1987, the year that major pro-democracy, antiestablishment demonstrations rocked the country. Though not contiguously related to civil politics, Lee's practice has, from its origins in performance to the present, served to erode entrenched conservative ideologies of Korean culture—particularly Confucianism's invalidation of women—and mine the parallax view of Asian culture from the West. Confronting birth control and sexuality in early actions, she appeared naked save for a rock-climbing harness (Abortion, 1989) and donned soft-sculptural constructions with fleshlike appendages (Sorry for suffering—You think I'm a puppy on a picnic?, 1990). With recent sculptures and videos concerning karaoke and automotive design, she has consolidated her position as one of the most prominent Korean artists working today.
Executed between 1990 and 1997, the series of installations entitled Majestic Splendor, which brought Lee international recognition, featured real, dead snapper and other fish species displayed in clear polyethylene bags or hanging from hooks. Each fish was individually decorated with colorful beads and sequins that embellished their glossy scales and fins. Colliding natural and artificial strategies of display—and addressing the maintenance of beauty—the bejeweled fish gave off a rotting stench as they decayed during the course of their exhibition.1 The artist's "Cyborg" sculptures—the first of which, Cyborg Blue and Cyborg Red (both 1997–1998), were included in the Walker Art Center's exhibition Let's Entertain (2000)—elaborate on this admixture of organic and man-made by recalling the limbs and torsos of the erotically charged armored women of manga comics and anime cartoons. In their evocation of both a technocratic lynching and damaged ancient marble statuary, Lee's later suspended white Cyborgs made from silicone, the material used in breast augmentations, address the female body in terms of a fetishized "future" and a classical past.
Plexus Blue (2000) inherits the decorative use of inexpensive jewelry employed in Lee's Majestic Splendor fish works and the allegorical woman of her Cyborgs. A split female torso form made of tan-colored leather is festooned with beads, necklaces, and broaches that appear to crawl over the skin surface and emerge from the interior like insects. They spill out from where the head should be, as if they were flames, plumes of blood, or the snakes of Medusa. As Lee explains, the use of this kitsch encrustation in her work recognizes a specifically female job: "It was an acknowledgment of the everyday elements of Korean social reality. In particular, the beads and sequins used to produce the decorative effect referred to the kind of cheap manual labor done by woman, and the dynamics of class and consumption that were involved in Korea's economic development."2 Housed in its own cabinet like a venerable relic, Plexus Blue's flayed, scarified, beheaded, and dismembered female form invokes some kind of divine symbol of decadent butchery and sacrifice—a deity-heroine for millennial mythology.

A rhetorical question, I don't think anyone was suppose to respond!
A rhetorical question, I don't think anyone was suppose to respond!
Excerpt: "Justin Tuck is motivated to get back to having a "normal Justin Tuck year."
And the defensive end thinks it's time to block everything out and just play.
The Giants' defensive captain wonders if he has been too preoccupied with always trying to do everything the right way as a leader and player recently and whether that has affected his play. He finished with four sacks last season and has a total of nine sacks in the past two seasons after collecting 11.5 sacks in 2010.
"I played with Antonio (Pierce), Michael Strahan, a lot of guys that showed me the ropes," Tuck said on ESPN New York 98.7 in New Orleans on Thursday. "Every team is different. And it is hard to find that button to push with every team. I think to me, a lot of times you want to be so correct that it weighs you down and I think Ive allowed that to happen to me the last two years."
Tuck takes his role as a captain seriously and is always concerned about how to lead, when to be vocal and what buttons to push.
"The next chapter for me is just saying I am going to go out and play," Tuck said. "And not worry about what people say and not even worry about the outcome. Let the outcome happen.
"The last couple of years I have tried to make the outcome what I wanted it to be instead of just saying go out there and give 100 percent and whatever happens, dont have any regrets about it. I am not going to worry about what other people say because I know what I put into this game."
Last December, Pierce said Tuck has not been the same player for a few years now. Pierce, the former Giants defensive captain, won a Super Bowl with Tuck during the 2007 season." Read more...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Soooooo leadership has "weighed him down"? I would have been more comfortable if he had just said his facemask has gotten too heavy.
I think Justin, like Osi, needs to play better and talk less. As for Tuck's leadership role, I think he's always fallen short.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Furthermore, this new microphone lovin' Justin Tuck is not the guy we all loved early in his career. Players age and lose a step, it happens to everyone. But not everyone searched out a microphone to make excuses to. Leaders do not do that.
Is this ground hog day?
No one remembers who came in second.

Jurors resumed deliberations Tuesday on whether a former Hawaii-based soldier should receive the death penalty for the murder of his 5-year-old daughter.
The jury returned to federal court in Honolulu to decide Naeem Williams' sentence. They can choose a death sentence or life in prison without the possibility of release.
The same jury convicted Williams in April of murder in the 2005 beating death of his daughter Talia.
Jurors completed their second full day of deliberations Friday. They have had Mondays off throughout the trial. U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright asked the jurors if they wanted to come in Monday, but they opted to resume deliberations Tuesday.
This is the first death penalty trial in the history of Hawaii's statehood. Hawaii abolished the death penalty in 1957 but that's a possible sentence for Williams because the crimes took place in military housing and he was tried in the federal justice system.
So far, the jury has sent several notes to the judge during deliberations. One note asked for clarification on how to determine if a mitigating factor exists. The jurors are instructed to weigh a list of factors — aggravating elements of the murder the prosecution argues show why the crime was especially heinous and deserves death and mitigating factors the defense argues are reasons why his life should be spared.
The seven aggravating factors include Talia's vulnerability because of her special needs, including asthma and developmental delays, and Williams' delay in seeking medical attention for her. Defense attorneys presented 149 mitigating factors, including Williams' upbringing in a system of corporal punishment. They also said he has an intellectual disability.
During the trial, Williams testified that he beat Talia regularly to discipline her for bathroom accidents. During sentencing proceedings he read a statement to jurors apologizing for the killing and asking them to let him live.
If he's sentenced to death, he'll likely be sent to federal death row at the Bureau of Prisons' facility in Terre Haute, Indiana.

I just joined the forum and have a question about building hive bodies. I plan on using 3/4 plywood and have a question about alternatives to the standard box joint.
I would like to miter the ends on a 45 and use 1/4 inch dowels, screws and glue to hole them together. If necessary I can also use fiberglass tape and resin to seal the joint and strengten it a bit. I am planning on using resin to weatherproof the outside of the hive body.
Will this provide enough stability to the hive body?

New hostel, dollar store, toy store and more
June 25, 2014
A new dollar store, hostel and toy store are preparing to open in the South Shore this summer, as a new FedEx Office opens near the state line and an established restaurant celebrates a recent expansion.
The 9,922-square-foot Dollar Tree store, located at the Round Hill Village Shopping Center in Zephyr Cove, is currently hiring and will ultimately provide an additional 28 jobs to the area.
District Manager Tom Nobriga said it has been an extensive process transforming the store's new space, which was built years ago and never occupied.
"The only thing that was there was the cement floor," he said about moving in.
With the nearest Dollar Tree currently located in Carson City, the new store in Zephyr Cove will make it easier for customers in the basin to do their shopping, Nobriga said.
Meanwhile, a new hostel in South Lake Tahoe might make overnight stays easier on customers' wallets.
Mellow Mountain Hostel has replaced an old motel located at 4081 Cedar Ave. Work on the building is currently ongoing, but the hostel will feature seven private rooms and 11 dorm-style rooms when it's finished.
It will also have a pool table, a foosball table, music, a lounge area, computers for guests and a 1,200-square-foot common room with a balcony and kitchen.
Co-owner Elias Small said it will be a great place for travelers, locals and anyone who wants to meet new people.
"It's sort of a way to break a stagnant feel in Tahoe," he said about the concept for a hostel.
Small said he and co-owner Wolfie Shapiro are aiming for a 4th of July weekend opening.
Similarly, a toy store halfway across town also plans to open at the beginning of July. Tahoe Toys and Treasures, located at 3053 Harrison Ave., will feature a reading nook, board games, a variety of children's toys and more.
The toy store is filling a vacancy that was made from the closing of an AT&T store at the same location.
Additionally, FedEx Office will celebrate the grand opening of its new storefront at 4000 Lake Tahoe Blvd on June 23. The store offers several services to local businesses, including copy shop printing, shipping, computer rentals and office supplies.
The services will enable business owners to get more done with less time and money, according to a TahoeChamber press release.
Furthermore, Artemis Mediterranean Grill has expanded its business to include a second restaurant at Ski Run Marina.
Artemis Lakefront Café features an expanded menu with breakfast and coffee, along with an extensive beer and wine menu, indoor and outdoor dining and the usual menu items the restaurant is known for.
Owners Angela and Brian Luke celebrated the grand opening of their second restaurant Tuesday.

The 3rd European-American Solar Deployment Conference provided a
platform for leading experts from science, industry and government agencies
to discuss current PV technologies, certification and bankability issues, as
well as financing and regulatory concerns. It further offered an opportunity to update the discussions on technical, economic, and political hurdles to rapid and widespread PV deployment in the US. The event was co-organized by the East Bavarian Institute for Technology Transfer (OTTI e.V.) and the German American Chamber of Commerce South (GACC South).
Participants heard from developers of new PV concepts and from system integrators who implement these concepts to drive innovation and cost reduction. Due to different levels of PV deployment between Europe and the US, the transatlantic conference shared the European experience and offered guidance on a possible acceleration of PV deployment here in the US. At the same time, it emphasized the distinctive aspects of the North American markets to ensure that the best solutions could be found in both regions.
Don´t miss the impressions of these days full of experience.

The 2013 PV Rollout Conference
After a very successful 2012 conference, the 3rd PV Rollout Conference will take place on February 26th/ 27th, 2013 at the Metro Atlanta Chamber in Atlanta, GA, USA.
In Cooperation with GACC South for the first time!
PV Rollout will examine the technical, economic and political hurdles to rapid and widespread PV deployment. Political and commercial perspectives will be considered and the conference will pay special attention to the often under-examined link between upstream product development / process innovation and downstream system installation costs.
PV Rollout will feature insight from industry leaders who are producing new PV products, researchers developing new PV concepts and the developers and system integrators who implement these concepts to introduce new innovations to the PV market.
Conference panels will address the key areas of development needed for wide scale deployment, including PV markets, module technology, inverters, grid integration, financing and risk management, and PV power plants. In doing so, the conference will provide participants with strategies and know-how to overcome obstacles and develop profitable products and projects.
Learn about link between upstream product development / process innovation and downstream system installation costs.

Moberly man arrested for cutting ex-girlfriend with razor
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A Moberly man was arrested Monday night for assaulting his ex-girlfriend and cutting her with a razor.
According to police, 45-year-old Mark Dwayne Jones showed up to his ex-girlfriend's home in the 2500 block of Quail Drive in Columbia.

Broadcom Jumps 5%: Q1 Beats, Q2 Rev View Beats
Chip maker Broadcom (BRCM) this afternoon reported Q1 revenue and profit per share that topped consensus expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose to $2.01 billion, yielding EPS of $65 cents.
Analysts had been modeling revenue of $1.9 billion and EPS of 56 cents.
Gross margin in the quarter declined to 52% from the December quarter's 52.2%, and was the same as the year-earlier period.
CEO Scott McGregor remarked that the results were "driven by wireless baseband and connectivity chips," adding that "Looking forward, we see broad-based sequential growth driven by our industry-leading portfolio of wired and wireless communications platforms."
Broadcom shares are up by 73 cents, or 2.2%, at $33.71 in late trading.
Update: On the conference call this evening following the report, Broadcom projected Q2 revenue in a range of $2.02 billion to $2.18 billion, topping the consensus $2.05 billion. The company expects its non-GAAP gross margin to decline from last quarter's level by half a point, based on expected mix of product, and by comparison to what was a "non-standard" cost benefit in Q1.
The shares are have continued to add to after-hours gains, currently up $1.77, or 5.4%, at $34.75.

Cost doesn't matter, I'm just looking for something that will last relatively long, and look very aggressive, a few tires i like are Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains, like i have right now, Nitto Terra Mud Grapplers (i heard they don't last long), Irok Mud Terrains (also hear they dont last long, but are wide which i like), BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2. Does anyone have any ideas for tires around 35"-37" tall? They can be Metric size or standard doesn't matter, i know some people paid extra just so they can say they have 35s or whatever.

I'm not sure I really believe that balancing pvp around 3v3 equates to a semi balance in 2v2, 5v5, and RBG's. I really don't see any evidence for it. It was just an idea that it should work that way, but I don't believe it really does.

Probably just so everyone has a catchy phrase to post in all those I just lost a duel/2on2 arena game therefor xyz must be op topics.
EDIT: Besides this is a idea that would actually help the games welfare in long term pvp balance. Which may potentially bring in more subs thus paying for itself. The profit is already in the idea itself.

Wow thats crazy, i made exactly the same thread in the pvp forums not so long ago :s
I come across a quiet river, that wonders through the trees.
I stare into its running waters and fall unto my knees.
In resignation to the forest, that's held me for so long.
I close my eyes and drift away into nature's evensong.
Because look at 2v2. It comes down to either:
Running double deeps and just zerging down the other team
Running 1healer/1dps and just out CCing the other team
How can you balance that? Blizzard would have to do things like make certain spells PvP only, or PvE only. Which they have said many times they aren't interested in doing. That is why 2s can't be balanced. Instead of complaining about it not, post some ideas on how it can.
That is basically the answer to RBGs, and 5s. BGs were never meant to be balanced, therefore RBGs aren't. Blizzard can't balance anything besides 3v3 unless they create PvP as a whole different option of play. I'm talking PvP-only specs, glyphs, spells, etc etc.
It is balanced around 3v3 because it is the easiest to balance around, the most popular, and thus the most competitive. I myself hate Arena.
Game currently has too many stuns, too many CCs, too many interrupts, too many instant heals, too much burst damage, too much burst healing and not enough strategics.
In my opinion, self healing from non-healing classes on top of huge burst has killed 2v2 (And mostly PvP). Original design of "You're pure DPS you don't heal" was right and Hybrid taxes were the way to do things.
IMO...3 vs 3 is not balanced, because 1 vs 1 disparity have insanely become larger. btw, not expecting 1 vs 1 balancing, but imo classes shouldn't be able to 1 vs 2 or more, nor should classes at times take 2-3 players to kill one (certain healers)
looking at the recent championship for cash, top 3 finishers
1st mage, warlock, res-sham
2nd mage, warrior, res-sham

blizz made a comment concerning rogues, balance, and arenas generally saying they wanted rogues not be the only standard in 3 vs 3 comps. RPM or PMR, what ever you want to call it
imo the dev/blue had a short memory. pretty much near all top 3 vs 3's for years and 3 expac's have been mage, insert DPS, insert FOTM healer. mages in this matter never get nerfed or get focused on due to the dev's always focusing on other classes and turning a blind eye

wait arena is balanced?
OT: blizz can say what they want but look at the balance of KFC first 3 weeks of the season ... they claim they balance stuff around 3v3 but i have a feeling its just a little white lie to make us sleep better at night

2v2 is hard to balance but 3v3 is almost a perfect number. Doing 5v5 or rbgs does not really work because if you would end up having the same classes so it would end up balancing itself. The more people have the less a certain spec overpowerness is.

world pvp: who ganks first
random bgs: team with most healers wins
2v2: team who zergs harder. only in dps/healer vs dps/healer does a team have to actually chain cc
3v3: actually quite a unique competitive format and the closest thing to balanced this game has. it has the greatest comp diversity, the small size means you can make a reasonable amount of arena targeted macros and not be overwhelmed.
5v5: this bracket basically sucks. there's a reason why no one queues 5s except to get r1. if im getting focused, i cant even see my toon. all i see is a health bar and 10 sets of spell effects having sex on my face.
rbgs: coordinated zerg fest. its like 5s but with flags and tank specs.

5v5 is not much popular
SInce it has the best balance potential.
Many more comps are viable, matches can actually turn around much faster than the standard plate/healer mirror in 2s
I'm not so sure it is balanced solely around that anymore. Blizzard said a while back that they planned on moving balance back to battlegrounds, where it's a little more flexible. They admitted arena was a mistake, and that it's impossible to balance classes around such small scale battles. But, the reason arena related choices are made around this bracket is because, quite simply, it's the closest bracket to finding the balance between chaotic speed kill charges and never ending healing wars.
