It takes Kelly awhile to adjust and grow into this league. However the Giants better wake up and get ready for this type of offense if the Giants want to be a leading team once again
I would be wary of a coach who was convinced he didn't want to coach in the NFL ten days ago, and became unconvinced simply because he was offered more money.
Well since Kelly has never faced the Giants it pretty much means nothing
You would think with some of the comments here that Chip Kelly makes existing NFL players even faster.

In December 2002, I launched the Office of Innovation and Improvement within the U.S. Department of Education. I charged that office, under the leadership of Nina S. Rees, with promoting promising innovations in education and expanding parental options and information. I understood, even in those early days of the historic No Child Left Behind Act, that the law had the potential to set in motion a wave of innovation in our public schools, as teachers, principals, administrators, parents, and others worked to close the achievement gap among different groups of students that has plagued our nation for so many years. I suspected that, under the pressure for improvement created by the law, dedicated professionals would develop all kinds of innovative solutions to difficult problems, and I wanted an office to highlight and disseminate those solutions. And I was committed, as I have been my entire career, to ensuring that parents had a real say in the schooling of their young, as their first and most important teachers.
Fewer than 18 months later, I am proud to introduce the Innovations in Education series. These publications, to be released over the next six months, identify concrete, real-world examples of innovations flourishing throughout this great land in six important areas: public school choice, supplemental educational services, charter schools, magnet schools, alternative teacher certification, and school leadership.
We start with what might be the most challenging aspect of No Child Left Behind, but also an area of great opportunity: implementation of the law's public school choice provisions. For the past two years, some critics have complained that these provisions are impossible to put into place. Others have said that school districts will simply refuse to comply. Yet, this publication shows that superintendents and districts are indeed fulfilling their responsibilities and making public school choice work for their neediest students. It has not been easy, but the experiences of these districts can inform the work of others. By taking lessons from these case studies, districts can avoid starting from scratch.
To be sure, none of these districts is doing everything 100 percent right. And all of them had a head start, since they had adopted some form of public school choice before the federal law was passed. Surely, the requirement to provide such choice, while in line with America's principles and values, can be difficult to implement logistically. As we learn from this booklet, a strong public school choice program must be integrated into a district's overall strategy. Communication to parents, faculty, and the community must be accurate, consistent, and energetic. Transportation and scheduling challenges must be fully addressed. As a former superintendent, I know that this is no walk in the park.
But the message of this publication is loud and clear: it can be done. I sincerely hope that the examples and tools in this booklet-and the expanded resources available online at http://www.ed.gov/nclb/choice – will help you to make public school choice a reality in your community.

I hear this is common with soldiers no matter who the enemy is, like WW 2 soldiers wanting a german or jap weapon from that time. At the time they were pretty rare, but when cheap kits started to come out I started building. Was only gonna do one to satisfy my desire to posess the weapon of my enemy, but got hooked.

6-10-13. Ocala, FL- As the elementary school and preschool kids reap rewards for A/B Honor Roll, the NeSmith Crate Late Models rejoin the Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Limited Late Models for some great racing. There will also be a Powder Puff race and a Fan Participation race.
The NeSmith Crate Late Models will return and try to keep Jeff Mathews out of Coors Light Winner's Circle. Mathews is just six points out of the championship lead that Bryan Bernhardt holds after a win himself in the season opener. As those two duke it out up front, Tony Stewart Racing's Developmental Driver- Tyler "Ten Means Ten" Clem- and "Showtime" Shan Smith sit just twenty-seven back of Bernhardt. Clem continues to impress and must fight harder to impress his fellow fifth-graders. Just eight back of Clem and Smith is Richard Childress Racing Developmental Driver Carter Stokes who impressed in the common Late Model division last week-end. Experience, mixed with youth, has made the Crate Late Models a must-watch division.
The Hobby Stocks will fight once more, but with a championship battle that seems to have gotten out of hand. Devin Walker, a Lasoski Racing Developmental Driver, has a fifty-five point lead over 2011 Thunder Stock champion Brian Shea. Shea was absent last time out, but we've seen incredible comebacks from driver #19. Hunter Gustafson, a further forty out, was a victim of misfortune last week as his clutch failed him just three laps in. Sean Monoghan has fallen to nearly 200 back, and Matt Kramer is fifth with over 200 points to make-up. Walker will try to walk away with this, and it's up to the others to prevent "The Mayo Missile" from wrapping it up.
Our 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks have the battle to watch as we've already had three first-time winners (Brandon Elwood, William Gillam, and now Jeffrey Smith) and a rookie points leader. Gillam is that rookie, as he has a twenty-three point lead over sophomore dirt-driver Elwood. Those two never get away from each other on the track, and that has kept the gap stable for the moment. Over fifty back is Tony Campbell who hopes to shake his own bad luck. In fact, Campbell bought a tire cart and joked that, with his luck, he'll never have to use it- either way, he'll have made a wise investment. "TC" will try to keep P3 while two drivers that have finally broken through try to prove their worth. Though both are over eighty points behind Gillam, Melvin Fockler and Brandon Tillander have put runs worthy of being within a point of him in. It's wide open in this "class"- who wants to be the "class" of the field?
The Limited Late Models returned a couple week-ends ago, and it was Tim Powers who took the victory. Tyler Clem was his runner-up, a second consecutive P2 for Tizzy in the division, while Jason Pope finished third. Devin Walker also pulls Double Duty, and he found himself the fourth place finisher in the Limited Late Models, just ahead of Chuck Jackson. Who will step up and take this division?
Pits open at 4, stands at 5, and racing starts at 7. For all kids in elementary school and under, bring your report cards with A/B Honor Roll and you will earn a bundle of prizes, including a free kid's coke and an autographed photo of Tyler Clem! Schools receive $4.00 from a paying adult's ticket. For more information, and to check the schedule- including June 22nd's Summer Spectacular and the 29th's Mike Peters Open- please visit www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call us at 352-622-9400!

Welcome to our new forum Jim, it's nice to have to you here.
Also congrats on the PX4 purchase, it's good to see that you've had no problems with it. I'm looking to get one myself. If I can't find a 96 Brig Inox pretty soon, I'll be picking the PX4 real soon!

If placed on shelving in a lean to shed constructed with pallet walls and a tin roof would they overwinter with appropriate stores.
If placed on shelving in a lean to shed constructed with pallet walls and a tin roof would they overwinter with appropriate stores.
I don't think they would.
You will get several correct answers that disagree with each other because each beek is giving you the answer for their climate and winter conditions. Also you can do it some winters and all will be well. next winter you will lose them all.
You need to decide how much risk you want to take and try it with a small number of nucs first. The you will have more info on deciding if you want to keep trying it.
Old Guy in Alabama
Not much insulation in that thin cardboard. The best way I've found to overwinter nucs is put a divider board in a broodbox and place two 5 frames colonies in. Then place the "two nuc box" over a regular hive with a double screen bottom board in between. They stay nice and warm all winter and you don't have to spend extra on nuc boxes.
Mine started to sag and get droopy as it absorbed moisture from the air and the colony inside. I wouldn't recommend it.
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
No the cardboard will definitely sag depending on the moisture in an out. The Easy Nuc boxes are way better and can stand up to moisture but insulation is still a problem.
As far as the brood box idea I believe there would not be sufficient space with a divider. I made some last year and then switched them to 4 frames each side. Even with an 1/8" divider 5 on either side after propolis build up becomes dangerously tight. Others I am sure will pipe in. Good luck.
And what will you do when the bees chew that cardboard to pieces?
Cam Bishop
I do the same thing with 10 frame and 8 frame boxes using just one divider board to create two nuc compartments in one box. The divider board material I use is a thin piece of luan that is 1/4" thick.
Plenty of room for that and frames. I use Mann Lake boxes which I find are a little wider than standard size.
I wouldn't even bother trying. you could try the divided one mentioned or you could try the 5 frame dcoates nuc boxes found in the build it yourself section of this website.

Your tribute to the great songman, Gary Shearston was very good last Sunday- Austrlain culture has lost on of its great troubadors!
John Gordon, who sang and wrote a song about West Papua
was very good- like to hear more of him -very good voice and a switched on dong writer.
Jack Humphrys,
West Croydon,SA,5008
I was saddened to hear on your program that Gary Shearston had passed away. I was privileged to have been able to paint his portrait and take tea with him on a few occasions.
His music will live on and this will be his legacy to all.
His music gives me fond memories of the 70s, as do those funny phone calls
He is a great artist!
I am hooked on Gary's music

It's hard to believe that the humble mobile phone has finally hit middle age. On April 3rd, 1973, Marty Cooper - an engineer at Motorola, made the world's first call from a mobile phone, calling Moto's arch rival, Bell Labs - and boasting that Motorola had a working mobile phone.
Calling it mobile however didn't mean pocketable. The phone in question was a prototype of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x, which later became known in New Zealand as the "yuppie phone". Back then yuppies must have been pretty fit as the DynaTAC weighed in at a whopping 1.13Kgs - imagine carrying a brick to make phone calls and then imagine the sound of tearing fabric as you tried in vain to pocket it.
Funny thing is that instead of getting a little grey around the temples and developing a beer gut, the mobile phone has stayed young, evolving at a crazy pace over the last 40 years. If you were to travel back in time to 1973 and show Marty Cooper your Samsung Galaxy 4 or HTC One X, chances are he wouldn't recognise it as a phone.
This said, 40 years later Marty would probably be pleasantly shocked at the degree to which his creation has taken on a life of its own - according to research done by the international telegraph union in 2011, there were at least 7 billion mobile phones in use - more phones than there are people on earth. If that's not a measure of success then I don't know what is.
Even more bizarre is research Conducted by GoodMobilePhones.co.uk, which found that an alarming 31 per cent of brits claimed to have damaged a handset with water. Alarmingly, The toilet bowl was the tragic destination for 47 per cent of all water-damaged phones.
Nowadays the mobile phone is barely used for what it was originally built for. Most of us rarely use our phones for making voice calls. For most of us the smartphone has become the gateway to our online lives. Be it sitting at an airport or catching the bus, odds are if you look around you, chances are good that you'll see people tweeting, texting, facebooking or even emailing.
So if your smartphone rushes off and buys a sporty red silicon case, or even hooks up with that blonde Bluetooth accessory, don't get upset, just remember that your mobile phone is probably finally having a midlife crisis.

From the Roaster: Paul on Public Domain
A few years ago (ok, 20 years), Coffee Bean International chose to move from being a retail/wholesale roaster to purely wholesale. I believe the primary reason may have been that we didn't want to compete with our retail customers. As the lead roaster and coffee buyer at the time, this move made life a bit easier. We no longer needed to deal with the retail side…
Fast forward 17 years to 2007…CBI takes over ownership of the Portland Coffeehouse in downtown Portland. My first thought? "Finally, we have our own retail location to show all those customers the exceptional quality and presentation we demonstrate in the roastery and to our customers who come to visit, giving the consumer a coffee experience".
In hindsight, moving away from retail was perhaps a mistake. The best way to get our message across is to show how it's done. Do we need to start a chain of retail stores? Nope, we just need to have training centers that can show one how it's done! Yesterday we were buying exceptional coffees, roasting and distributing to customers, and moving on. We lacked the space for hands-on training to share our approach with customers. Now that changes!
Over the last five years, it occurred to me that it's the responsibility of the roaster to make sure the people who have direct contact with consumers present their investment properly!
What investment you ask? If one pays top dollar for exceptional coffee, one just made an investment. The investment is exceptional coffee. Each step through the process of taking that green coffee to the consumer needs to be handled to protect that investment. In other words, if you can't deliver an exceptional experience to the consumer, why pay top dollar? Why invest into exceptional coffee? The steps include importing that green quickly to help preserve that freshness, roast that investment to its finest capabilities (of course coffee is a fruit and people expect fruits to be sweet. Sweet comes from buying high quality green coffee and roasting it properly, to help embellish the sweetness… No roast impingement!!), using top-of-the-line roasting equipment and well trained, fully engaged, experienced roasters. Package that investment expediently; deliver your investment shortly after roasting - to the Barista.
The Barista is the point of contact with the consumer. That Barista has processes to follow to make sure their investment (roasted coffee from the roaster) is delivered to the consumer in its finest form. Yes, if the roaster pays top dollar, the retailer is going to pay top dollar. If the Barista is well trained and clearly understands exceptional quality, they will protect that investment. Take every step of the process personally and to its 100% best potential. Don't lose track half way through because there will be no magic wand to fix a mistake in one of these steps. Green, roast, package, expedient delivery of fresh, Barista receives, clearly understands the coffee they are getting, realizes the investment, trains, delivers, and with the utmost confidence, delivers what they know is the best experience possible.
When I heard we were buying a retail store in 2007, I heard in my own mind, an opportunity. It's an opportunity to go back 20 years and do it all over again, but this time, it's all about showing the world what we have been doing for the last 20 years and protecting our investments. To do so, we must do our customers and our exceptional coffees proper service by offering these coffees only to shops who will join us and treat these coffees as investments. We start by training, communication, and demonstration.
So we shut down Portland Coffee House earlier this year for a major overhaul. It opened in early May under the name "Public Domain" - a place where people are invited to come on in and learn about coffee. The concept is easy, the task is fun and difficult at times, but the outcome is stellar and I'm perhaps the proudest of them all to be part of this experience. I can't wait for competitive friends in this industry to come visit Portland. I know they will be ecstatic that we are presenting the experience the way we are: a true specialty coffee experience, right in the heart of Portland Oregon!
The roasting of these few select coffees is handled to its creative best by well rehearsed, experienced roasters who are very engaged in roasting, training, cupping, the Roasters Guild and its Annual Retreat, and the SCAA Conference.
Here at CBI we've always been great at the roasting side. Now it's time to engage directly with the consumer. We are using Public Domain as our training center to demonstrate to our customers, and anyone interested in experiencing an exceptional coffee experience, how it's done!! All of our Baristas came to CBI's roasting plant for 3 months of every day, 6 to 8 hours a day, learning to roast, cup, and realize exceptional coffee, and most of all, to train to deliver the entire experience. Leading the charge are Angela Gay and Ray Penrod, two extremely experienced Baristas who have, for much of their coffee career, embraced the concept of protecting the investment of exceptional coffees. The experience has been astounding and we have all strived to learn, master, and demonstrate to each other, how we protect the exceptional experience in our cupping room, all the way to the cup being handed over to the consumer.
Brothers and Sisters, lets break bread together, turn this flippin town into the number one place for exceptional coffee in the US of A, and have fun doing it!! It is historic for CBI to finally be able to present our best coffees and treat them as our investment, all the way to the consumer! Only the best and selected coffee houses who will honor the purity of coffee, present these knock out, kick ass coffees appropriately and under our conditions, while protecting our investments, will have the opportunity to buy these coffees from our roastery and deliver them to consumers.
As Peter Guiliano from Counter Culture Coffee and the upcoming SCAA President coined as the theme of the 2010 SCAA Conference: The Barista is the point of contact to the consumer. Let's engage and deliver!

[quote user="DavenIII"]By the way Morehead, remember when you said there are no good looking girls who bowl, this team just won the youth world championships.
Not only that but one of the 4 members on that girls team is the daughter of the alley owner I've known all my life (like he used to baby sit me kind of stuff) they just beat Singapore over in Bangkok.
It's actually the first time team USA won both the boys and girls division.
If you add up all their averages...does it get into triple figures?</P>

Consider the platforms; they toil not (but spin do), according to Brent Sheather in his first letter to the custodians.
I sympathise somewhat with his viewpoint. In my (too) long career writing about platforms - a broad term covering a number of different technological and legal structures - I've often come to the conclusion that they're nothing more than software-enabled ticket-clipping machines.
Sheather is right, too, that investment platforms tend to be constructed with the adviser in mind first; are prone to product bias, and; lend themselves to all sorts of back-room deals (such as the infamous 'shelf space' fees).
He forgot to mention, as well, that platforms can have tricky tax consequences - getting out, like many things, can be easier than getting in.
Nonetheless, Sheather's is wrong to state that platforms are not "necessary in any way, shape or form". Or, at least, the idea of platforms, the ideal platform, is a valid one.
As Sheather says, investing may not necessarily be a complex task but the admin can really catch people out.
(And if investing is as easy as translating an asset allocation into a bunch of ETFs plus a few direct shares, a machine could, and can, do that too - why pay a human?)
Investors could really benefit from a piece of software that enabled them to knock out an asset allocation strategy, buy whatever investments they wanted cheaply, reported back, worked out the tax...
In New Zealand platforms have captured a decent share of the adviser market. Last time I looked, the ASB-owned Aegis had about $3 billion 'under administration' and its main rival, FNZ, looked after a similar amount.
No doubt, it's a lot more than that now. But it can't be that lucrative a business here. ASB tried to offload Aegis a couple of years ago but eventually gave up due to lack of interest.
FNZ, however, has been quite a successful export story for New Zealand. Although the business is now mainly owned by offshore interests (some Euro hedge fund or private equity mob, I recall) the FNZ platform technology is behind several of the UK platforms.
Latterly, FNZ has also been making inroads into the Australian market, scoring a big contract - along with investment firm UBS - with the country's largest industry superannuation fund, AustralianSuper with more considerable deals to come.

I think that without this car in their portfolio they aren't really complete as a luxury brand. I don't think they need to match the 3 series in all variants and they certainly don't need to chase the 1 series, but they should at least have a 3 series sedan competitor. Of course I don't expect it to be as sporty, but it should at least be on par with the C class (which isn't a very high bar).Regardless the first X was horrible, but now with Ford out of the picture they should be able to do this right with a real luxury car made from the ground up.What do you guys think?
Jaguar is getting a C-class/A4 competitor ready as we speak. I think Bell put up a link about it a couple weeks ago.
******************Awarded Best Troll Statement for 2011
You mean should Jaguar make a 3Series competitor or should they make another AWD car based off of the Mondeo? Yes to the first. Dear god no to the second.

Très bien situé,près de la ligne de métro jaune arrêt Canal St.frontiere entre Little Italy et chinatown.
Il s'agit d'un appartement de 4chambres .
Il y a une webcam juste devant,vous pouvez visualiser la rue en cherchant webcam 140 mulberry St.
Très propre,mais une seule salle de bain pour tout l'appartement.quand toutes les chambres sont louées c'est un peu juste.
Le ménage des parties communes est fait un jour sur deux.
Notre chambre avait un grand lit mais était assez petite.
Wifi ok.
Rue passante mais pas trop bruyante.
Appartement très bien situé. Quartier sympathique. Dommage que je n'ai pas vu le propriétaire. La douche serait à revoir...
We went to New York from 5th to 16th january 2016, in the John's flat, to visit.
The flat is very well located, with the subway; No problem to go tro a place. We recommand this flat for that!
However, we don't recommand it for the reception! We didn't see John or anybody. We had to guess how we open the bathroom !!
In the other hand the flat was very clean all trip long.
Thank you.
Location in Little Italy is perfect for a NY trip. Room was nice, clean and cosy. But: place was fully booked, so in total 8 people stayed there. There's only one bathroom to share with all. So first come, first serve every morning. Cleaning is done every other day. Also only 4 chairs and a small sofa. Not all rooms have windows. This didn't come out in the description.
Host did not show his/her face once.. not at the start and not at the end.. even did not text me back after leaving the appartment. Room (and bed) was much smaller than the pictures. Bathroom also was not what I had expected. All in all, not the best stay I've had. But it's very cheap and the location is excellent.
Everything was good at Mulberry Str. 136.
Well connected with Midtown Manhattan, good Italian restaurants just downstairs.
The booking worked fine and there were no problems with the apartment. The place was clean, we had our own key. Everything worked fine apart from one thing. At one time one of the cleaning staff came and knocked rather aggressively at the door to our room and then used his own key to access the room even thou we were there, before we got the chance to open. He wanted to show the room to someone and I didn't appreciate that. I also think that we could have been given a change of sheets during our 12 nights visit. But apart from that everything was very good. I have recommended the apartment to others.
The apartment in little italy was cosy and nice. The host has send us verything to know and was very friendly and helpfull.
Many thanks, greetings

If you have had to borrow money to pay for school, chances are good you've borrowed from Sallie Mae, the largest student-loan company in the US, which currently handles between 40 and 45 percent of the business. Even if you haven't borrowed from Sallie Mae, chances are good you'll be dealing with the company in the future: part of the loan giant's business involves buying out loans from smaller companies. And if you're dealing with Sallie Mae, chances are you could be heading for serious financial trouble and not even know it.
Interviews with 22 consumer-finance attorneys, plaintiffs in lawsuits against Sallie Mae, consumer advocates, and higher-education experts show that Sallie Mae engages routinely in questionable business practices. Borrowers are charged excessive and undisclosed late fees. Aggressive collection tactics are employed against borrowers who have been unable to resolve billing disputes with Sallie Mae — which is, by industry standards, unresponsive to questions and complaints. And the company prevents many of its borrowers from consolidating loans with anyone else but Sallie Mae — which doesn't always offer the lowest interest rates.
In addition, more than a million borrowers have seen their monthly payments increased by as much as $100 or more, due to what the company describes as a computer-software glitch, and will see their overall payoff amount increased if they want to extend their loans to keep their monthly payments level. Moreover, tens of thousands of students enrolled in failed, improperly licensed computer-training schools are being held accountable for their loans — even though student lenders are required by law to make sure the schools they loan to are properly licensed. Even worse, these borrowers have no right to seek relief from the courts.
The frequent use of such aggressive tactics, combined with the company's relative unreceptiveness to borrowers' complaints, has led many experts to wonder whether these methods, taken together, have become policy with the multi-billion-dollar lender. After all, the company stands to profit not only directly from these practices, but also by throwing students into default. That's because borrowers of federally guaranteed student loans (issued through the Federal Family Education Loan Program, or FFELP) who have fallen on hard times can only under rare circumstances discharge student-loan debt if they file for bankruptcy. Usually, they must default, which not only carries harsher long-term penalties for borrowers than bankruptcy does, but guarantees lenders like Sallie Mae full compensation. Furthermore, Sallie Mae has recently gone into the debt-collection business, which means it can reap even more interest and fees of up to 20 percent of the balance from defaulted borrowers.
Sallie Mae's business practices have come under close scrutiny in the last month. The cover story of the October 27 US News and World Report documents the deals federally guaranteed student-loan leaders are making in increasing numbers with colleges and universities to get them to market their loans exclusively, at the expense of federal direct-loan programs that are cheaper for students and taxpayers alike. Sallie Mae is featured in the report, titled "Big Money on Campus: How Taxpayers Are Getting Scammed by Student Loans." As a result of the article, US Representative George Miller of California, the senior Democrat on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, has called for hearings investigating the Department of Education's oversight of the federally guaranteed student-loan business.

Title: Star Wars Starfighter
Publisher: LucasArts
Platform: Playstation 2
Release Date: December 2000
Inspired by its unparalleled Star Wars flight-game heritage, LucasArts
Entertainment Company LLC brings all the intensity of its classic air
and space combat games to PlayStation 2 with Star Wars Starfighter.
The fast-paced flight action game immerses players in a series of dramatic
missions to help save Naboo from the powerful and menacing Trade Federation.
Star Wars Starfighter is expected for release in fall 2000.
Star Wars Starfighter takes full advantage of the robust graphic capabilities
of PlayStation 2 by presenting more than 20 realistic and beautifully
rendered 3D starships amidst a variety of 14 incredible environments
set in air and space. The game sets players on an epic journey that
begins on Naboo and continues through the climactic assault on the Droid
Control Ship inspired by the motion picture Star Wars: Episode I The
Phantom Menace. "
Star Wars Starfighter follows in the long tradition of LucasArts' highly
acclaimed flight combat titles, offering rich game play and a deeply
engaging story," says Tom Byron, director of product marketing for LucasArts.
"It is a true next generation game for a next generation system that
will provide one of the most realistic and visually rewarding interactive
entertainment experiences to date."
Star Wars Starfighter presents an exhilarating story-driven flight
adventure, and places players in the roles of one of three mismatched
starfighter pilots: Rhys (pronounced Rees) Dallows, Vana Sage and Nym.
These three unlikely allies all have personal vendettas against the
Trade Federation and must learn to work together to repel the invasion
of the Naboo system. To succeed, each character must engage in thrilling
dogfights and use their cunning skills to outwit villains.
The game's compelling narrative is entirely original though it draws
inspiration from key points within Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom
Menace. As the game progresses, players are presented with a series
of challenges that will require the acquisition of new skills. Players
who master starfighter combat will be rewarded with new story elements,
characters and locations.
Players are introduced to the three main fighter pilots and their craft
through a series of intense flight exercises from each character's point
of view. Rhys is a cocky Naboo pilot-in-training. His Naboo N-1 starfighter
is quick, agile, adept at dogfighting and armed with proton torpedoes,
laser cannons, and deflector shields. Vana is a Naboo expatriate who
roams the galaxy contracting her services as a gun for hire. Her ship,
the Guardian, is ultra-fast and equipped with stealth capabilities,
sensors, tracking devices and a variety of weaponry. Nym, an alien pirate
who lives a Robin Hood existence in the shadows of the Naboo system,
pilots the Havoc, a starship outfitted with powerful bombs, lasers,
a rotating turret gun, and heavy shielding.
Players in Star Wars Starfighter will be able to test their battle
skills against more than 50 vehicles, including Trade Federation drop
ships, battle tanks, droid starfighters and never before seen craft
such as the deadly Protector, Scarab and Dagger.

To remain a player we cannot remain disinvested in agriculture.
Last Thursday we shared some insight from Sonny Ramaswamy the recently appointed director of the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). (http://www.hoards.com/blog_living-and-dying-by-grants)
In his new role, he oversees NIFA award funds for a wide range of extramural research, education and extension projects that address the needs of farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers.
Is the United States equipped to make strides toward feeding the world?
If we continue down the same path in agriculture, we are and will continue to be poorly equipped to feed the world. In the last 15 years, there has been a disinvestment in agriculture at the state level. The academic enterprise has a small footprint, yet they have made some of our greatest agricultural advancements. To further reduce numbers in the academic world, companies are "crowd sourcing" and putting the best minds to work in industry.
To overcome this we need to create an innovative ecosystem; we need to create the sand box and provide the resources to foster innovation. Today, we are reaping the benefits of investments that were made in the 1950s. We need a funding turnaround to continue this benefit cycle. If we want to be the global leader, we need to make investments here and now.
Who are the U.S.'s biggest agricultural competitors?
China, India and Brazil are making the most significant investment and strides in agriculture. These countries have mimicked what the U.S. did with the land grant university system. While the U.S. pulled back their investments in the university system, these countries have continued to invest. For example, in the field of genomics, China is a big player. People aren't coming to the U.S. to research genomics, they are going to BGI (Beijing Genomic Institute). Meanwhile, Israel is at the forefront when it comes to utilizing water.
How do we encourage youth to come back to production agriculture?
Agriculture has seen a depopulation of young people; many don't want to return to the field. Instead they are going down the academic pipeline, earning PhDs and going into industry. They want a career that allows them to earn and not simply reinvest their profits. One opportunity available through NIFA is the Beginning Farmer and Ranchers program.
We need to do a better job with rural development and make it attractive to return to these areas with the skills necessary to succeed. Youth are the hub and spokes of our agricultural enterprise.

text: I was wondering if others rotate capped frames of honey with uncapped frames to speed up the process. Specifically, do you move the capped frames to the outside of the super and move the uncapped frames to the center of the super. Also once a super is fully capped, and other supers are still being filled, do you keep the capped super on the bottom or would it help to rotate the uncapped super closer to the brood boxes?

Report: Occupy D.C. preparing to crash CPAC
posted at 9:30 pm on February 7, 2012 by Allahpundit
During a Thursday meeting at McPherson Square, until Saturday the epicenter of the protests, Occupiers brainstormed tactics for shutting down or disrupting the conference, according to a source who was present at the meeting.
The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming "fire" during conference activities, "glitter-bombing" participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.
"Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted," the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, "said they would be disappointed if they didn't get arrested and planned to 'make it count.'"
The source quoted another protester as saying, "Mitt [Romney] has Secret Service now, but [Newt] Gingrich and [Andrew] Breitbart don't," seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded.
Plans for infiltration allegedly include staying at the hotel as guests with help from the AFL-CIO (the union denies it) and wearing Ron Paul gear on the theory that no one will be able to tell them apart from typical Paul fans. Lest you doubt that they're capable of "direct action," watch the two clips below of Occupy D.C. giving Americans for Prosperity the full Walking Dead treatment back in November. There's already an "Occupy CPAC" message posted on their website, replete with unparodyable denunciations of a "gathering of bigots, media mouthpieces, corrupt politicians and their one percent elite puppet masters" and its "racist, sexist, patriarchal and exploitative agenda." They have nothing to lose by going on a rampage, really. The image of the "peaceful Occupier" is long gone, thanks to the Oakland chapter and the sporadic stories of rapes and assaults coming out of the camps last year, and even their friends in entertainment are bored with their crap. If they start a brawl at CPAC, that's a new round of media coverage for them plus endless atta-boys from leftist trolls online. I only wish this had happened a few weeks ago, just so we'd have the perfect ironic juxtaposition between Occupy thugging out and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz once again using the Tucson shootings that the right had nothing to do with as an excuse to demagogue the right over incivility. Ah well.

Wireless Network Security - Thesis
I'm new here and first of all i wanted to say thank you for all this priceless information that's here.
I'm currently studying Applied Informatics, and my time to write my thesis has come as i am on my last year in the university.
So, i decided with my teacher that the subject of my thesis is going to be about Wireless Network Security - Attacking and Covering your tracks when doing this .
I would really appreciate if you could provide me with any information, anything..from sites, tutorials, examples...anything at all that has to do with this subject,that you know and you're willing to share it, would be really really helpful .
I'm really interested in network security and that's why i chose this subject, hope i will make it through this and present a good thesis at the end.
Thank you all in advance !

When in the history of mankind has this not been true? That's the thing about biblical prophecy. It's just vague enough to sound plausible without pinning down actual places, times, and events.
The program I listened to mentioned the Bible and it's teaching as the reason the United States must support Israel in any case of war in the region. They even gave some long diatribe about "whoa unto those American leaders who decide not to come to Israel's aid" yada, yada.
Whether they wish to foment war is something else. Generally speaking I would agree with you that only a minimum number of crazies take that position. But make no mistake, there is a large contingent who wish to subjugate American foreign policy to the notion that Israel is the land of God's "chosen people" and we must defend them because the Bible says so, not because of any rational, American foreign policy interests. As a conservative, these people drive me insane and there are many elected officials that fall into this group.
Why is it that every single other country on the face of the earth gets to conquer lands and then just call it as their country. But when Israel conquers land, every single liberal map and crazy government says it's "occupied "
It was literally conjured up out of thin air and is not real but continues to be perpetrated to show a plight of a segment of people that are evil and want us all dead.
Yeah they gotta shut him up before your vagina is filled with the sands of truth.
There is no place on earth that is named Palestine.
Putting aside that the place and people Philistines and Philistia are mentioned more than 250 times in the Hebrew Bible, it is also mentioned continuously in other sources for thepast 14,000 years.
What makes you think I'm not Jewish?
Why do they have a greater claim to the land than the nation of Israel?
Lefties hate Israel because they worship the God of the Bible, the same reason they hate Christians. Any other religion, you're cool.
The land recognized by the international community as theirs? Historical presence and international law. The same international law that recognized/created an Israeli state.
The problem is people act like the Palestinians that are in modern Palestine are the same as the biblical Palestinians.
Muslims got all "their land" through conquest and should be given nothing.
If you care about such things the fact is based upon DNA testing the present day palestinians are more genetically akin to ancient Palestinians than are the modern Israeli's are to Semites of the Bible.

The Last Windrow: A Halloween party
With Halloween on our doorstep, I thought of this column I wrote in 1989. It is a favorite memory of mine on this week when pumpkins smile at us after dark and the wind moans through the bare tree branches.
"Anna's Halloween Party"
None of us kids slept well that night. That night was a Halloween eve many years ago on our small Iowa farm. Too much chocolate, eaten too fast and too late. Not one of us complained, though. When you're a kid, you have to be careful not to give grown-ups the wrong message about how well you can handle a stomach full of Tootsie Rolls.
Things have changed a bit since those Halloween eves that I knew. I don't ever remember my folks checking the candy and apples for razor blades or pins. We knew who our neighbors were and had never heard of someone trying to harm anyone on Halloween. Just an occasional outhouse tipped over and perhaps a grain wagon placed on top of a hay stack were about the only mischief done.
My mother ferried us around the neighborhood after the cows were milked and we were sure not to bother anyone after 8 p.m. People in the country used to go to bed about that time. We hit the normal spots, the gas station, the country grocery store and the nearby relatives were all on our targeted list.
A special memory comes to mind of the year my dad suggested that we visit an old widow's home just a mile down the road from our farm. We kids didn't really know her except seeing her in church on Sundays. She looked kind of scary. My two sisters and brother and I weren't overjoyed with my Dad's suggestion, but he had the car keys and so, to her home we went, dressed in our masks and sheets.
Anna was the lady's name and she had lost her husband some years before. She lived here with her mentally challenged son. It was dark and the south wind was moaning through the leafless trees as we approached her white house. My dad was following close behind for security. Lace curtains adorned the windows and a little porch light was lit near the front door. I was the oldest and hence, was nominated to knock on the door. We all backed up a step when the door creaked open and a gray-haired head poked out at us.
The face under the tousled gray hair was adorned by two twinkling blue eyes and her voice was tender, saying, "Come in children, come in!" Inside, on the lace-covered table sat a polished silver bowl full of polished apples and two bowls full of candy of every sort. We were all given an ample supply. None of us said much, but Anna asked all our names and assured us that she was very scared of our homemade costumes. That made us feel much better!
Dad visited with Anna for a time and I heard him ask the old widow if there had been any other kids there that night. She replied there had not been any but us. She thanked us for coming and asked us to come again next year. We assured her we would. There was a happy look on her face as we thanked ourselves out her porch door. I know now why my dad took us to Anna's home.
Halloween isn't just for little kids.
See you next time. Okay?

If you are a business owner, you are well aware that President Obama has imposed over 6,000 new regulations on businesses in just 90 days. This doesn't even begin to address the massive amount of regulations imposed over the last 4 years. The bigger picture is that it's all part of his plan to "OVERWHELM" the system.
Karl Marx said that capitalism will eventually fail and that communism is the solution and end game. He says you can wait for that to happen, or you can accelerate the process by overwhelming the system and destroying capitalism. There will be so much chaos that it is easy to take away rights and take control as the government savior.
Once that occurs, you implement communism. This process can only be understood by the "enlightened" government leaders (Obama and the like). The masses are too stupid and ignorant to understand how good communism will be for them, so they need to be forced down that path, by any and all means possible. Lie, deceive, create class and race warfare issues, and use catastrophes (and if there are none, make some up; the ends justify the means.) That is why every time Obama speaks about anything, you will notice that it is always very dramatic (and the world will end if we don't do it right away.) Examples include Obamacare and his "Jobs bill."
If the progression is not fast enough, then Karl Marx says you need to kill people to help the greater good achieve "enlightenment". That is why in Russia, they killed 60 million of their own people, for the greater good. Of course, the greater good is so the top 3% in government leadership can have all power and wealth and remove all means for the masses to ever be able to topple them, including taking all rights, removing all weapons, and eliminating religion.
To deflect those who say that Obama is not a Marxist..
His favorite college professors are Marxists, his favorite books were written by Marxists, his parents and grandparents were Marxists, their friends were Marxists, and his administration is full of Marxists. I know they don't like that term; it is "progressives" now.
As dumb as he seems, I actually believe he knows what he is doing. The unfortunate part is that we don't think it could ever happen here, and we don't know enough about communism to realize what is happening.
Most of us don't even know much about our own Constitution and the reasoning and brilliance behind its development.
Read the Federalist Papers and other writings from our Founders; they knew we would want to move towards socialism, and so they wrote the Constitution the best they could to prevent that.

Reciprocal Exchange Programs
Reciprocal Exchange Programs are those which, through an agreement with a foreign institution, Tarleton students pay tuition and fees at Tarleton only; international students pay tuition and fees at their home institution, and the students exchange places in the classroom. Tarleton students pay tuition and fees at Tarleton, and Tarleton generates the credits. Then the foreign university sends a grade for the course work completed abroad. A balance in the number of students exchanged must be maintained. Students register for courses approved by their academic advisor, and Tarleton course equivalents are matched with the courses selected abroad. Reciprocal Exchange programs can be for a long semester or two.

New Supercomputer Arrives in Fairbanks
Fairbanks, Alaska - The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center today announced the arrival of a new CRAY J932 vector supercomputer. Since the new machine will complement the massively parallel CRAY T3E named Yukon already in use at the center, ARSC staff named the new machine Chilkoot after the trail that brought gold miners to the riches of the Yukon a century ago. The new Cray mainframe arrived last week and will be available to users by late April. Chilkoot will be used to manage the large volumes of data generated by ARSC users and as a high performance vector supercomputer. Chilkoot , along with Yukon , will replace the CRAY Y-MP named Denali , the flagship supercomputer which ARSC opened its doors with in 1992. Denali is expected to be decommissioned in late May. Three key factors entered into the decision to settle on the J-932 and replace Denali . Staff at the University of Alaska Fairbanks supercomputing center clearly recognized needs for improved capabilities to manage the rapidly increasing demands for data handling and storage. The six-year-old Y-MP is already approaching obsolescence--Cray plans no future upgrades of the system software and operating it is significantly more costly than operating newer machines. In addition, some ARSC users continue to rely on large memory vector processing capability. ARSC director Frank Williams and his staff decided to take a multi-purpose approach--they chose one system to meet all of these needs. "We achieve a huge bonus by doing it this way," Williams said. "We just had to solve this data storage problem, and solve it quickly. The J932 provides a solution to several problems, and with it we are preparing the way for new supercomputing architectures in the future." Another factor in the decision to select the J932 and to retire Denali was cost savings. For example, annual hardware maintenance costs will be reduced by almost seventy five percent. Electric consumption for operating and cooling the machine will be reduced by half. Williams estimated that the combined savings are over half a million dollars per year. "It's also important to point out that bringing Chilkoot to campus brought enhancements at no cost to the university or the State of Alaska," Williams said. Federal funding for ARSC provides supercomputing resources for non-classified research conducted by government agencies as well as academic researchers. Most of the federal projects, Williams pointed out, are very similar to research conducted by scientists at UAF's Geophysical Institute, the Institute of Marine Science and the Institute of Northern Engineering. Chilkoot is initially configured with 12 central processing units (CPUs), eight gigabytes (GB) of memory and more than 290 GB of disk space; it has ample room for future expansion. Over the next few months, ARSC staff will be evaluating user needs for additional processors, faster processors and additional memory. ARSC staff will assist users in moving between the two systems. The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, located in the Butrovich building on the UAF main campus, supports high performance computational research in science and engineering with an emphasis on the high latitudes and the Arctic.

U.S. gov't fights to prevent testing of all slaughtered cattle for mad cow.
Original post made by Not The Onion, Barron Park, on May 30, 2007
Web Link
WASHINGTON: The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.
The Agriculture Department tests fewer than 1 percent of slaughtered cows for the disease, which can be fatal to humans who eat tainted beef. A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows.
Larger meat companies feared that move because, if Creekstone should test its meat and advertised it as safe, they might have to perform the expensive tests on their larger herds as well.
The Agriculture Department regulates the test and argued that widespread testing could lead to a false positive that would harm the meat industry.
A federal judge ruled in March that such tests must be allowed. U.S. District Judge James Robertson noted that Creekstone sought to use the same test the government relies on and said the government didn't have the authority to restrict it. - A federal judge ruled in March that such tests must be allowed. The ruling was scheduled to take effect June 1, but the Agriculture Department said Tuesday it would appeal, effectively delaying the testing until the court challenge has played out.
Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is linked to more than 150 human deaths worldwide, mostly in Britain.
Three cases of mad cow disease have been found in the United States. The first, in December 2003 in Washington state, was in a cow that had been imported from Canada. The second, in 2005, was in a cow born in Texas. The third was confirmed last year in an Alabama cow.

It was arguments like these that made Oprah make her famous comment about never wanting to eat beef again that got her into all that hot water!!

Actually, I too avoid beef because of this issue. It is so irresponsible, but it is in line with our government being by big business and for big business.
It is also in line with how the US always deals with issues of toxicity and dangerous products. We were way behind Europe when it came to banning lead from paint for instance, or flame-retardants in furniture.And we are way behind on testing for mad cow disease. We don't know the extent of the problem in this country and won't until some serious testing happens... but the beef industry would rather we not know.
I for one eat much less beef than I would if they tested adequately.

Why not check all wheat for ergot? Or all Mushroom soup for Deadly Nightshade? The force of the government should go where the risk is great. The lawsuit against Ophra should have been restructured - she libled meat producers by suggesting they did not care about risk to consumers.

Ridgewood police recruits may start academy in March
Two police recruits whose conditional employment offers were recalled in January may be on target to re-join the force in March. The Ridgewood Council reached a consensus Wednesday night on a draft ordinance that would essentially eliminate the cap placed on the number of patrol officers in the village police department.
The proposed ordinance is scheduled for introduction at a Feb. 19 council meeting. If the change is passed in March, the two officers will likely enter the Essex County Police Academy.
Current Ridgewood code establishes a department maximum of 30 patrol officers. On Jan. 17, Police Chief John Ward extended conditional offers of employment to two recruits, both of whom are related to current or former members of the police department. Days after the hiring decisions, Village Council members noted that the two hires pushed the officer roster beyond the allowable amount.
At a Jan. 29 meeting, the council opted to delay the immediate introduction of an ordinance change, with the majority of the members hoping for further discussion and answers to specific inquiries. The decision created a state of limbo for the officers, who as a result were not permitted to enter the Bergen County Police Academy class that started the following morning.
At this week's work session, Ward, Police Capt. Jacqueline Luthcke and members of the council agreed to terms of a potential new ordinance.
Ward explained that the department anticipates retirements of seven senior command staff by the end of 2015, with four of those departures potentially coming between May and June of next year. He and the acting village manager both agreed to a staggered hiring of new officers to replace the potential retirees.
Answering questions from Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli, the police chief explained that approximately nine months can lapse between the time a recruit is hired and when the officer begins patrol. Before an officer can go on solo patrol, "a candidate goes to the academy, it's six months of academy, then three months of field training," Ward said.
He further explained that with the new hires in place, the current junior officers can begin the training cycle to advance to senior positions, ranks which will eventually become vacant after next year's retirements. Ward said new senior officers must be trained in areas such as internal affairs, and evidence and subpoena processing, among others.
"It takes a while to learn and master," Ward said. "That's why we need [the new hires] a little in advance. That's the reason why I set out the gradual implementation [of the hiring plan]."
If the two hires join the force next month, Ward expects them to be on patrol in the village at the beginning of 2015.
Also part of the 2014 hiring plan, for which funding has already been approved, is the July hiring of two more patrol officers. Should those hires go through the planned training, they will be on the road in April 2015.
"We are hoping to have a three-month gap for officers to take over for those leaving," he said.
Several council members, who reviewed the Jan. 17 candidates for hire, expressed their regret Wednesday for overlooking the current police ordinance and the number of officers employed.
"I apologize to the public, I had the number wrong," said Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh. "I feel strongly that we need the officers on the street."
Councilman Tom Riche, who along with Walsh and Mayor Paul Aronsohn approved the 30-officer limit in 2011, also apologized and added that the cap on officers now seemed random.
"I don't know why it got by me; shame on me for that. But I don't know why we have the arbitrary number. We can always limit the number through funding mechanisms," Riche said.
"I'm really sorry the two young men are caught in the middle. That was not the intention of this council to victimize two young men," added Pucciarelli. "If there is a way to make that right, I would like to make that right."
Council members agreed to eliminate the maximum number of police officers, but "would leave hiring decisions to the village manager with budget authority remaining with the council," Aronsohn said.
The ordinance will also include language that fundamentally re-creates a school resource officer.
"I am a strong proponent of reinstating the school resource officer program," the mayor added after Wednesday's meeting. "It would allow us to provide our schools with additional security, and it would help create a better, stronger relationship between students and police officers."

Total climbing: 4,377 feet
Total time: 3:48
|Goodbye, Valle d'Aosta
Luca, sorry we missed the meetup. I hope very much we'll get another chance next year. I am growing very fond of Courmayeur and the Aosta valley. Best of memories :) During the PTL we got to visit france, Switzerland and Italy and the Italian refuges are hands-down the most friendly with the best food (and real espresso in many of them!!!), and it seems the Aosta valley gets better weather normally as well - what's not to love. I already miss it.

what a joke. RG3 is horrible
what a joke. RG3 is horrible
Honestly I don't think he is 100% after last year and just wanted to play and is hurting the team more than helping them
If he isnt 100% then management and coaching dont deserve to have him as their QB.
I remember hearing him say that he wants to help the team blah blah blah and remember where they left him in the game when he was hurt?
RG3 is all talk
agreed he is nothing great...he has had a few flashes of greatness thats all
He was great last year. Its amazing what a difference a year and an injury make.
I love it, at least they will keep us off of the bottom if they keep playing like that. LOL
Looks like we have to hope for someone to come along beat them but that would require us to win all of our games. We may need them to lose two. They may wind up with a better div record and have tie breakers against us with common opponents..
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
