Richard Leakey found a normal human skull under a layer of rock dated at 212 million years
From EvoWiki
Richard Leakey found a normal human skull under a layer of rock dated at 212 million years.
- What Richard Leakey actually found was an early, primitive skull in a layer of rock that dates a little more recently than 2 million years. The physical characteristics and date of the skull are quite consistent with human evolution.
- The skull in question, KNM-ER 1470, is not that of a normal human. Among other things, the skull capacity (750cc) is far below that of an average modern human and the face is much more robust. Nearly all anthropologists agree that this skull is either a very early member of the homo genus (Homo rudolfensis) or a member of another hominin genus entirely (e.g., Australopithecus or Kenyanthropus).
- The original dating of the rock at over 200 Ma was false due to contamination of the sample with older volcanic rock. Subsequent dating methods converged on a range of dates between about 2.9 and 1.8 Ma, and in the early 80s, the discrepancy was finally resolved at 1.8 Ma.

Earl Sweatshirt must be a morning person. He was awake at 6 a.m. today tweeting cryptic things:
search important_man464 on soundcloud if you love christ
— EARL (@earlxsweat) May 2, 2014
When you follow the Twitter clue it will take you to a SoundCloud with only two songs on it. The first is Nebraska, a scuffed track featuring verses from stoner king Mac Miller and Vince Staples, (whose recent mixtape is amazing), plus Earl's monotone wordplay.
The second track is called Song From 2012 High 6AM Rambling At The 5th, which is very descriptive. Even if Earl calls it just "rambling," his heavy, thunking wordplay has so many twists and turns it'll probably take a few listens to digest. Luckily, you can listen to both tracks as many times as you want, below.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — One of two men accused of killing three people and burning their bodies after a drug dispute in Bangor, Maine, is testifying in his defense.
Nicholas Sexton of Warwick, Rhode Island, wept on the stand Monday while describing one of the victims, 24-year-old Nicolle Lugdon of Eddington, as a friend.
He and Randall Daluz, of Brockton, Massachusetts, are on trial at Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor in connection with the 2012 shootings. Sexton testified that he doesn't like guns.
The men are each charged with three counts of murder and one count of arson. Daluz's defense team is expected to present its case after Sexton's defense rests. Prosecutors rested Friday.
The other victims were 26-year-old Daniel Borders of Hermon, and 28-year-old Lucas Tuscano of Bradford. Trial began May 1.

In his budget, the chancellor focused on infrastructure investment to stimulate growth. The debate is now on how to ensure effective delivery and get the maximum payback on infrastructure investment that is underway.
A few weeks ago Alex Jan, an economist at Arup, argued that the increase in local infrastructure projects merited a new department for infrastructure. While I agree with the sentiment that a national infrastructure plan requires a long-term focus and robust leadership, I disagree that a new government department would be the right approach.
Instead, we need an arms-length organisation that can focus on bringing infrastructure schemes to market rather than becoming mired in policy and the endless publication of plans and updates.
The main protagonists in the debate over how to improve the ability of departments to deliver infrastructure investment favour an arms-length organisation within government.
Behind this debate lies a trail of failures by government departments who have been unable to understand and embrace the role of sponsors for mega projects. Sponsors, introduced by the government last year, were meant to act as guarantors for projects struggling to find private sector finance. While sponsors should set objectives and specify the outputs of mega projects and sponsor them through the procurement and delivery process, too often they get embroiled in micro issues and forget about their leadership role. And too often we see the National Audit Office or other independent reports criticising virtually every facet of the sponsors role.
The announcement that Infrastructure UK will be seeking to recruit a cadre of commercial specialists to provide support to infrastructure projects is a much needed development.
Lord Deighton, commercial secretary to the Treasury, has showed determination in addressing the lack of urgency in the implementation of new major projects and this should be applauded. He said: "The challenge is getting it done now rather than being eternally in a planning period". His approach shows why, despite the best efforts of the Major Projects Authority, there is still a need to bring in commercial skills to shape transactions.
An arms-length organisation could be given greater freedom to explore innovative approaches and would be able to attract the requisite talent, possibly even by periods of secondment from established infrastructure businesses.
Creating a National Infrastructure Agency with a dowry of existing assets and a mandate to improve the utilisation of those assets would be precisely the type of decisive move needed to capitalise on the markets current appetite for investment in infrastructure.
Creating such an agency would also be an excellent precursor to engaging with the development of Lord Heletine's plan to stimulate the regional economy.
Will private sector zeal be able to bring about the culture change needed within government departments to bring a more commercial approach to infrastructure projects? Certainly a viable long-term pipeline would trigger full engagement by the industry with the urgent task of improving affordability.
My one concern is whether current thinking is radical enough. The national infrastructure plan (NIP) needs the impetus to not just be a list of projects. It must become a fully-fledged long-term investment programme. With government accepting that 85% of the investment capital in the NIP needs to be from private sources it would seem plausible to think bigger. There needs to be a radical change so the focus isn't purely on effective implementation.
Moving forward we should regard projects as investments that are managed in the same way that a pension fund or other institution would manage a portfolio of infrastructure investments to deliver maximum value from its investment.
If we are serious about infrastructure investment leading us out of economic doldrums then the government must act quickly and decisively to establish a National Infrastructure Agency that is empowered to engage with departments and the markets to push a series of major projects across the starting line.

Oct 9, 2007 at 2:40 pm #1225379
I was wandering if anyone has experience with the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Ether Thermo 6 sleeping pad. It claims to have an R value of 6.8 and 7.8 which if accurate would be awesome for winter, hammocks, at shelters and when I don't feel the urge to go SUL with the thinlite pad. What I haven't figured out is how it weighs the same as the BA insulated aircore, but has much more r value (4.1 i believe for the BA). I've heard the BA has insulation only on one side, and diagrams show the POE having full tubes, but I can't figure out what they compromised in order to get that much more R value for the same weight. Ploft sport in the BA still has a much higher warmth/weight than most insulations, and POE uses a proprietary type. The fabric couldn't be much lighter than 40D stuff BA uses. Is the weight just marketing hype? I can't get to REI for a few days to try em out. thanksOct 10, 2007 at 1:28 pm #1405089

I cannot answer you specific question, but you may be able to find out more info on the POE max thermo which is the older model. I remember hearing on the practical backpacking podcast with POE that the only difference between the max thermo and the ether thermo 6 is a slight color variation.
The podcast may be a good source of info.

FWIW I have and use a Max Thermo, which is fine and dandy down to freezing and a bit below. Don't know that I'd take it to their rated temperature without some extra insulation along. But it sure is comfortable!
I've fiddled with a Thermo 6 at the store, and got the impression from rolling the insulated side between my fingers that the insulation layer is thicker than on the Max Thermo. This grossly unscientific observation has me thinking the newer model could well be warmer, lower. I believe they're heavier as well.
POE has such a vast array of models it's very challenging to sort them all out.Oct 11, 2007 at 10:19 am #1405185

@dbeutelLocale: Where the skiing is!
I got an Ether Thermo 6 last spring, too late for any snow camping trips. I have had it out in temperatures as low as 25 F and it has been quite warm; enough to allow me to use less sleeping bag than otherwise necessary. I should be out on a snow trip soon and will let you know more then.
I've weighed it at 15.9 oz for the 2/3 length (48 in). That does not include the stuff sack but does include the small cord I glued on to roll it up.
See my review for more, but it has been very tough so far and quite comfortable.Oct 11, 2007 at 2:33 pm #1405216
I ended up getting the BA Insulated Aircore rectangular mat. The REI closest didn't carry POE, but I figure if I find an REI that does, I can just trade it out and save some ounces. It seems like a great pad though. I can't wait to try it out in the field!Mar 21, 2008 at 12:25 pm #1425111

Can anyone compare the performance of the POE Ether Thermo to the Exped Downmat? The POE has an R-Value of 6.8 and the DownMat has one of 5.9. I am interested because I just ordered the Exped, but notice the Ether Thermo is somewhat lighter and 1/2 the cost.
I am a cold sleeper But if the POE istrue to spec, it's a no-brainer to return the Exped and get the POE.
Please give me some advice.Mar 21, 2008 at 1:43 pm #1425120
Consider buying the ether from REI and testing the two of them and sending one back. I got a long extended email from POE I put up on another thread and i think it said something about it being hard to measure R values on surfaces that aren't flat, so i think the rating is a little suspect. A 6.8 R value would qualify as 4 season to me, but IIRC the site has it as a 3 season pad. I would be interested to know the answer as well.Mar 21, 2008 at 4:36 pm #1425141

There's another intangible benefit to a down-filled air mattress: comfort and sleep quality.
It depends hugely on who you are and how you sleep. I know people who "go unconscious" and wake up 8 hours later without having moved a muscle, and I am very happy for them.
I, on the other hand, sleep on all surfaces of my body in alternation. I probably turn 20 times a night in my bed at home. (More if my legs are aching after a long walk.)
Sleeping on a DAM leaves me rested in the morning. More energy, better judgment, all the wonderful things that come from a good night's sleep and directly affect your performance in the field.
My DM7 is so comfortable that I use it as a traveling mattress as well; it's *that* good. I wouldn't trade it for any other mattress, no matter how light.
Feel good about your purchase :)Mar 23, 2008 at 9:16 am #1425294

I spoke to the Exped rep at a recent trade show, and he indicated that both the Big Agnes & the POE have the synthetic fill attached to one side (top) of the tubes. He said that over time the fill in these mats does not expand as much.
I purchased an Exped Synmat 7. It has the tougher (and heavier) exterior material of the Downmat and the synthetic fill is attached on both the top and bottom of the mat. So when the mat is filled with air, it pulls the insulation open to fill the tube.
Hope I explained that well.

On the REI website, R-Value for the Ether Thermo 6 AND the ECO Thermo are both listed http://www.rei.com/product/751065 and http://www.rei.com/product/751091 – show R-Valye as 6.8/8.9 (head/torso). POE site had those same values listed for 2007 specs, but they are now taken down….hmmmm
I guess I will enjoy my new EXPED – it arrives 27 Mar and will be put to the test 29 Mar.Mar 25, 2008 at 11:52 am #1425542
I agree… this whole R-Value business is pretty shady. I'm going off of the "3" value now. I have one of these on order and have been testing my cousin's, although I haven't used it extensively in the cold. Very comfortable – I just question how warm it actually is.Mar 25, 2008 at 12:07 pm #1425544

Just used the ether thermo six in 20 degrees under a Montbell S.S. #3 down bag, inside a Nallo 2. I felt no cold from the ground at all and slept wonderfully. I have no experience with the exped, but the ether thermo was the warmest pad I have ever used, blowing away my prolite 3 (which has a listed R value of around 3).Mar 26, 2008 at 8:58 am #1425673
Jason BrinkmanBPL Member
@jbrinkmanboiLocale: Idaho
The R-Values in the table that Takatsugu linked are NOT the R-Values! They are "seasons" – that is 1-season, 3-season, or 4-season. The Ether Thermo 6 was listed as 3-season, but R-Value was not listed.
I have always thought that the 6.8/8.9 (head/torso) seemed high given the construction, and even the effective thickness is a little hard to measure, but the R-Value should be higher than 3.Mar 26, 2008 at 9:15 am #1425677
Ahhh… upon close inspection, Jason is right. POE should really fix the labeling on that chart – it is misleading and actually under-represents their products.Mar 26, 2008 at 10:20 am #1425688

@johng10Locale: Mid-Atlantic via Upstate NY
The two R-values for POE pads are for the outer tubes (higer one) versus all the inner tubes (lower one). POE uses the "reduced airflow between the tubes" as part of it's R-value calculations.
In general, I'd say the POE pads are the same R-value as the BA insulated pads – same thickness (except for the edge tube) and insulation.Mar 26, 2008 at 12:13 pm #1425708

I found it not all that warm, even at 40 degrees (I am a "cold sleeper") . But it was comfy. I'm now using the 1" Montbell pads -way warmer. My 2 cents.Mar 26, 2008 at 2:39 pm #1425730
I'm interested in your experience because these are the two pads I've been debating between. They are different animals obviously – one being 1" thick and the other 2.5" – self inflating vs. blow up, etc.
But… was the Montbell really warmer? If it is warmer, I guess the trade off here is warmth vs. comfort. I can't imagine the MB is that cushy.
I've always wondered what the R-Value of the UL pads are. Why don't they post any info about it? My guess would be around 2.2.Mar 26, 2008 at 8:55 pm #1425762

I have the older version insul mat max thermo and I find it cold below freezing, even with closed cell foam underneath it. I just received the Montbell ul-90 and pillow. I used it along with a 3/8 in blue foam pad and was comfy and warm the other night at 23 degrees. I have also found that being a side sleeper I would wake up with stiff elbows from my arms hanging off the higher insul mat versus when I am low to the ground on a thinner mat.Mar 27, 2008 at 10:05 am #1425819

I have the older POE Max Thermo 3/4 length.
I find it durable and extremely comfortable.
It will take me down to around freezing but then I add a foam pad.
From my extensive research before buying mine, the anecdotal reports in various forums seamed to indicate that POE inflatables were more durable than BA inflatables. Also, opinion was in favor of Exped Downmats being slightly warmer than POE's synthetic inflatables.
I went with the POE for reputation of durablility and the way cheaper cost compared to Exped.Sep 5, 2012 at 5:38 pm #1909446

I purchased two of the Ether Thermo 6 mattresses. Both were initially loved, when we got them last year, however, one has developed a series of troublsome, area-specific slow leaks.
I have contacted the manufacturer. The item is clearly defective, but it's been a year since we purchased it – no camping for much of the early summer, due to the wife breaking her leg. Not sure what resolution the company will adopt.

HSBC bosses could face huge bonus cutbacks after the bank was ordered to pay
£1.2billion for handling drug money.
The British bank agreed the huge settlement after US authorities said it
intentionally let terror gangs and Mexican cartels launder billions of
Sources said a portion of executives' bonuses will probably be pegged back for
the next five years as part of a deal with America's Department of Justice.
Dozens of senior managers could be hit. The revelations piled pressure on
Business Minister Lord Green, who was chief executive and then chairman of
HSBC when the failings occurred between 2004 and 2009.
HSBC still has to reach a settlement with UK watchdog the Financial Services
But experts said it got off lightly with the US deal and could have faced a
bigger fine and greater damage to its reputation through a legal battle.
The bank's US arm dealt with HSBC Bank Mexico despite the country's troubles
with drugs and money laundering. And other foreign HSBC banks avoided
safeguards designed to block transactions with terrorists, drug lords and
rogue regimes.
US court papers filed yesterday said the bank traded illegally with Iran,
Libya, Sudan, Burma and Cuba.
HSBC insisted the scandal happened under previous management and that chief
executive Stuart Gulliver and chairman Douglas Flint had no responsibility
for this area.
Gulliver, who took charge at the start of 2011, said: "We accept
responsibility for our past mistakes.
"We have said we are profoundly sorry for them, and we do so again."
Willie on fight path
BA boss Willie Walsh has bet Sir Richard Branson "a knee in the groin"
that VIRGIN ATLANTIC won't be here in five years.
The aviation heavyweights traded insults again yesterday as DELTA
bought a 49 per cent stake in Virgin from SINGAPORE AIRLINES for
£224million. Sun City told yesterday how Sir Richard had bet Walsh, £1MILLION
Virgin Atlantic would still exisit in five years.
But the feisty boss of BA-owner IAG hit back, saying: "What is he? A
billionaire banker. I don't think a million would hurt him much.
"I don't have £1million, so a knee in the groin maybe. That would be as
painful to him as it might be to me." Walsh — in Seoul to launch a London to
Korea route — also said Sir Richard had achieved less in aviation than
fellow Irishman Michael O'Leary, chief exec of RYANAIR. He
said: "Michael O'Leary has been a true pioneer and changed the industry.
"He's demonstrated that you can be profitable in this recession."
Jaguar sheikhs on deal in Saudi
By KEN GIBSON, Motoring Editor
BRITAIN'S biggest car maker JAGUAR LAND ROVER is looking to build
cars in oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
The plan is part of a push to more than double sales and make JLR a truly
global player.
Just a few weeks ago it signed a £1.8billion factory deal in China.
The Saudi car plant, the desert nation's first, would be a major breakthrough
into the lucrative Middle East market for JLR.
Sales are up by 32 per cent this year to 324,184 and the company's UK
factories are working flat-out. Chief executive Ralf Speth signed a letter
of intent with the Saudi government yesterday.
He said: "We are committed to further international partnerships to meet
record demand."
Dr Speth stressed that expanding abroad would have no effect on JLR's
£10billion investment plans at its three main UK plants.
He said hundreds more jobs would be created, despite The Sun revealing
yesterday that it is pulling the plug on its C-X75 supercar because of the
The Saudi deal would also mean JLR importing aluminium from the country, the
cheapest place in the world to make the metal.
3 million drinkers quit pub
THREE million pub-goers have deserted their local in the last four years, says
real ale group CAMRA.
In that time, over 5,800 pubs have closed.
About 1,200 drinkers, pub landlords and brewers will descend on Parliament
today in the biggest protest yet against beer taxes.
The hated beer duty escalator automatically raises tax on a pint by 2 per cent
above inflation every year.
A third of the price of a pub beer is now duty and VAT — and it is blamed for
so many locals closing.
A CAMRA protest e-petition drew 100,000 signatures. Chairman Colin Valentine
said: "The Government don't appear to have woken up to the crippling social
and economic impact their actions are having on valued community pubs."
Net store one a roll
ONLINE store ASOS has revealed one of its festive bestsellers — the
adult babygro ONESIE.
Jumpers and leather goods also did well as September to November UK sales rose
a quarter.
International sales — now 63 per cent of the firm's total — shot up by a
third, Asos said.
It has opened offices in France, Germany and the US, where sales of one dress
rose 57 per cent after Barack Obama's wife Michelle wore it.
Costa's bucks
SALES are still rising at COSTA COFFEE — after rival STARBUCKS was
shamed into paying £20million in corporation tax last week. In a swipe at
the US giant, owner WHITBREAD said Costa was sensitive to local
Chief exec Andy Harrison said: "We believe in listening to what people say."
Costa is opening about 150 UK shops a year and now has over 1,200 — but

No way, Jose
GUINNESS brewer DIAGEO has walked away from a £2billion deal to buy
Mexico's Jose Cuervo tequila.
The London-based company has been in talks for a year but said yesterday: "It
has not been possible to agree a transaction." The sticking point is thought
to be a £340million difference in valuing the brand.
Diageo is now set to team up with Japan's Suntory to buy Beam Inc, US maker of
Jim Beam and Sauza tequila.

Blasphemy law in Pakistan: open petition
Christians and Muslims around the world as well as people of other faiths and those who do not adhere to any religion will have been hearing with real concern, the news of the attacks on the Christian villages of Gojra and Qorian in Pakistan resulting in the deaths of at least seven innocent men, women and children. This was the latest in such attacks over many years and has attracted international condemnation from religious and political leadership in Pakistan and internationally.
One of the causes of such attacks is the ability of extremists and others with private motivations, to incite attacks on Christians and on occasion also on Muslims; and the inability of the police and local judiciary to protect innocent people. The blasphemy laws currently in force in Pakistan provide such people with the means to incite violence and seem to have played a part in the recent incidents which led to the death of a number of Christians.
Following widespread discussions with Christian partners and correspondents in Pakistan, Christian and Muslim organisations in the United Kingdom and with the Pakistan authorities, there is a desire amongst many people to express their concerns to the Government of Pakistan and to press for change in the blasphemy legislation and for the protection of Christians and others who are suffering from its abuse. To this end a petition is now available to be signed electronically and can be reached by clicking here and following the instructions.
Click here to sign the Pakistan blasphemy law petition
The petition is signed by the Rt Revd Michael Jackson, who chairs the Anglican Communion Network for Inter Faith Concerns and by Dr Musharraf Hussain the Chair of the Christian Muslim Forum. This follows Dr Musharraf's initial statement and those made by others . The Rt Revd David James, Bishop of Bradford, is the first petition signatory
The petition will be delivered to the Pakistan Government and is intended to assist in their efforts to prevent further attacks. The more people who sign, the more effective the petition will be and we urge you to take action now by:
It is by actions such as these that people of faith and of goodwill can show their active concern for the good of the world and in this case their support of the Christian community of Pakistan and of Muslims who are concerned to take action and are supporting their Christian neighbours
Please do sign today - one click makes it possible!

NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS: Air Boom vs. Miz and Truth (WWE Tag Team Titles)
WWE Tag Team Championships
Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne (c's) vs. The Miz and R-Truth
Miz and Truth did a remix of Truth's theme song called, "You suck."
We start with Kofi Kingston and The Miz. Quick tag to Evan Bourne who gets in a few kicks to the leg. Tag back to Kofi who hits a big flying clothesline in the corner. Tag to R-Truth who takes a big hip toss from Kofi. Kofi and Bourne with a double team head scissors takedown on Truth and double dropkick on Miz. Both Kofi and Bourne then take out Truth and Miz off the top rope to the outside. Truth goes after Bourne wrapping him up in the ropes. Miz gets in a cheap shot when Truth distracts the ref. Tag to Miz who kicks Bourne in the face after Truth sets him up with a snapmare takedown. Tag to Truth as Truth and Miz hit a double shoulder block on Bourne. Bourne fights back with a big suplex on Truth. Miz prevents Bourne from tagging in Kofi. Bourne gets the hot tag to Kofi who connects with a springboard clothesline on Miz and follows with a dropkick. Kofi with the Boom Drop over Miz. Kofi with the S.O.S. on Miz and gets a close two count. Truth drops Kofi's head off the top rope allowing Miz to hit a modified DDT for another close two count. Bourne with a blind tag slapping his hand in the air with the ref distracted. Bourne with a close rollup on Miz. Bourne with a side kick to Miz and knee to the chest of Truth. Bourne is up top, misses his 450, lands on his feet and Miz connects with a DDT. Kofi breaks up the pinfall. Truth argues with the ref about a tag. In the ring, Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale. Miz is covering Bourne and has the win secure. The ref was still arguing with Truth and then turns around to make the count, but Bourne kicks out after the one count. Miz gets in the ref's face and pushes him down yelling at him. The referee calls for the bell.
Winners via DQ and still WWE Tag Team Champions: Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne
After the match, The Miz pushes the ref down again in the corner. R-Truth tries to settle him down. Truth walkes over, apologizes to the ref, picks him up and then slaps him sending him back down to the mat. Miz yells conspiracy and that he is sick of this.
Backstage, Matt Striker catches up with The Miz and R-Truth. They refuse to apologize.

The only concern i have is for the o-line and i don't think it will be as bad as last year.
I see the Ravens getting swept by the Steeler splitting with the Browns, losing to the Chargers, Texans, Colts and either at the Titans or against the Jets, not sure which yet.
Sticking with 10-6. The O line will take a month to gel. Flacco needs to get rid of the ball faster and thru pre season, he has not done that. Also undecided whether or not the running game will be better than last year. The D is under a new coach and the secondary is unproven. There are alot of question marks at this point.
I agree. There are a lot of question marks still to be answered.
I really hope they prove me wrong and do better than that.
I'm sticking with 12 - 4. Also an AFC Championship match-up with New England. I think JW is right. Going from Mattison's soft read and react approach, playing off receivers, 3 man rushes to the old Ravens style, and the presence of more physical players on defense (Smith, Pollard, more Webb, no Gooden, no Fabian) will make this defense better. I loved Mason but getting him out of Joe's ear will be a plus, and should result in Joe becoming the leader that a QB needs to be. Oher to RT and Yanda to RG greatly improved 2 positions, and McKinney does not have to be All-Pro to equal the job Oher did last year at LT. At WR, if the Ravens have had a better pair than Boldin and Evans, I don't remember it. Finally, coaches usually do get better, especially in the area of game management. Harbaugh should continue to grow as a game coach, so that aspect should also be improved.
All this improvement on a team that was 12 -4 and up by 14 points at Pgh in the playoffs before trying to sit on the lead.
Missing the playoffs for the first time in the Harbaugh era.
11-5, split with Steelers (each team wins the away game).
Strong running game will be able to pound some teams into submission, passing game will still lag behind somewhat.
Pass rush and secondary will be better, but rush D will be worse than expected.
There is really no way we should lose to Cleveland.
And I can't even fathom losing to the Titans.
I think there will be some bumps in the road this year but they should win enough to make the wildcard.
Sticking with 14-2.
Steelers- L Too much too soon. The Ravens will not be ready.
Titans- W
Rams- W
Jets- W
Texans- L Will avenge their overtime loss from 2010.
Jaguars- W
Cardinals- W
Steelers- W
Seahawks- L Cross country road trip after a Steelers game.
Bengals- W
49ers- W
Browns- L They're due.
Colts- W
Chargers- L Another cross country trip after a tough game.
Browns- W
Bengals- W
6-2 at home
5-3 on the road
11-5 and a 5 or 6 seed wildcard team. Ravens will be in a late season play your way in situation, but benefit from what should be two soft games at the end.
Cam Cameron will be fired at the end of the season.
The Ravens will finish top 7 in total defense.
The Ravens will be one of the best running teams in the NFL but will still not be able to get their passing game where it needs to be.
Another wildcard win followed by another divisional round loss. The same frustration will force the Ravens to make a change at offensive coordinator.

Replacing main water supply line from damaged copper to pex.
I'm in the process of replacing all of the galvanized and copper pipes to a pex manifold system. For the first phase, I replaced the 40gal water heater from 1991 to a new 50gal.
I've run most of the new pex homeruns to the manifold and also ran the new supply line right next to the existing copper line.
My issue is that the copper supply line appears to be roughed up a bit right before the gate valve (which is frozen open like all of them in my house). You can see in the pictures that someone put a pipe wrench to the copper most likely to tighten the union. My questions is that once I remove the valve, do you think I can get a copper to pex fitting onto this non-round and damaged pipe? Will that union screw apart? I'm not exactly sure how it's attached to the copper. I would not think it would be a compression fitting but it might be.
I'm decent with soldering but I don't have much space to cut back the damaged pipe since it's so close to the foundation wall. If the fitting starts to leak because the line is not perfectly round I might be in trouble. I don't think a sharkbite would be any better.
Also, any reason to replace the current pressure reducing valve with a new one or can I keep the existing one?
Your main shutoff is a right angle stop and waste valve. It has a flare on the copper entering the house. I would not suggest you play with that. Is there some reason you decided to remove your copper? I would just replace up to the point where no galvanized piping is left on your main water feed.
Flare joint picture... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...9QEwAA&dur=467
Well the reason I want to replace the line at that point is due to the shutoff valve being frozen open. Any other good way to remove the valve? Would enough copper be exposed to install a copper to pex adapter?
I used a few to hook up the water heater as I do this in stages. It was simple enough.
Good suggestion house keeper. You will also need to shut your water off at the street before doing that.
Stuck gate valves can usually be made operational by removing the pressure and loosening the packing nut and bonnet. Those having the gate stuck in the seat or back seat is usually due to operator ignorance.
Interesting. I might take it apart and see if it can be repaired. The gate valve near the water heater was completely toast.
Now my second question. Should I replace the current pressure reducing valve with a new one or can I keep the existing one?
If it is working why replace it?
shut water off at street replace valve with 3/4 flared ball valve turn with brass or copper then install regulator ...then go to pex..we always keep piping that comes into house brass or copper for support....ben sr
The copper entering your house is usually type K very thick stuff.
Thanks for the info Ben. Now where can I find a 3/4 flared ball valve? The only ones I saw this weekend at the big box stores or even online were all flared gas valves. Everything else seems simply enough once I find the correct fitting. Got one to sell me?
Or should I just remove the current valve and cut the pipe back behind the flared part? I should have enough copper sticking out of the wall to do either.
Would this fitting work? That way I can remove the valve and make the turn up, then install a normal ball valve. I called several plumbing warehouses and nothing but flare adapters are in stock.
if all they have is flared adapters...put on a 3/4 flare to 3/4 female with a 3/4 brass st 90 ..now your facing up....or see if they have 3/4 flare by 3/4 female 90..then put 3/4 brass nipple then 3/4 ips ball valve....ben sr

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Very ineffectual:
1. extremely low filtration removal efficiency because the contents of the tank are very slow to 'dilute' by the return of such a small volume of 'filtered fuel oil', Most 'return lines' on small diesel marine engines are only a relatively few few cc's per minute flow.
2. causes the primary/second filter set to become more rapidly plugged thus less prone to capture 'slugs' of particles (eg.: particle storms generated from loosening of adhering tank wall sludge, etc.)
3. The more a filter becomes 'plugged' with debris the higher the differential pressure across the filter is needed to deliver the constant flow demand of the engine .... thus makes breakage of the lift pump diaphragm a higher potential.
The accepted way to 'polish' is to use a totally independent filter pump system, that has high volume turnover, uses 'more open' µM filter ratings ... more 'open' filters also means 'very cheap' filters.
Its the fast 'dilution rate' of particles thats occurring IN the tank by 'high turnover' or rapid high volume recirculation of fluid' over and over and over again through relatively low efficiency filters that makes the 'mathematics of reduction' the key to good and very economical 'polishing'; you simply cant get this volume flow from a 'lift pump'. There is a very significant (mathematical, efficiency, cost) difference between 'recirculation polishing' and 'single pass in-line filtration'.
No comments?
$50.00 Fuel Polisher
As long as you have a mechanical lift pump on the engine that runs all the time the engine does, why not do this to polish your fuel.
1 Place a tee in the line to the pressure pump and install another line that goes on the vertical barb of the tee.
2 Conect this line with a Y fitting to the return line at least 1 vertical foot above the intake for the pressure pump.
3 Install a on/off valve in the new line just cuz you might need it for bleeding the system although now the system should be self bleeding. If you install an electric clicker pump between the tank and the lift pump you can just change out your filters and install them dry, turn on the electric pump and the fuel will go through the lift pump and fill the filters and back to the tank with out getting air in the high pressure pump with out closing the the new valve.
How much polishing??
Well, that little pump running at no load most likely pump about .1 oz. per stroke. At 2,600rpm that is 260 ozs. per min. or 122 gal.(15,600 ozs.)per hour.
If you deduct the 2 gallons you use at cruse power that still leves 120 gallons per hour for polishing.
So now when you run your engine you are polishing your fuel at a much greater rate than just returning the small amount of fuel that returns from the enjection system and you spent less than what? $100 including the electric pump.
No exrta filters but at the start you may have to change them more often depending on how bad your fuel is.
NOTE: If you just have an electric fuel pump this systen should NOT be used as the pump cannot handle running full time.

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has released two new temperature-stable and stress-resistant Hall-effect latches, especially suited for operation in consumer and industrial products. According to Allegro MicroSystems, better high-temperature performance is made possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by device package overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The two devices are identical except for their magnetic switchpoints.
Both devices include, on a single silicon chip, a voltage regulator, a Hall-voltage transducer, a small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, a Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected open-collector output to sink up to 25 mA. A south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength is required to turn the output on. A north polarity field of sufficient strength is necessary to turn the output off. An onboard regulator permits operation with supply voltages in the range of 4.2 to 24 volts with an operating temperature range of –40 °C to 125 °C.
Allegro's A3290 and A3291 devices are available in a three-lead single in-line package (UA) and a SOT-23W surface mount package (LH). The A329xKLHLT-T is priced at $0.44 and the A329xKUA-T is priced at $0.46 both in quantities of 1,000.

The Quasi–Three-Dimensional Marginal Leakage of Full-Coverage Crowns: Resin Coating Versus Sodium Hypochlorite Treatment
Daizo Kawahara, DDS/Atsushi Mine, DDS, PhD/Jan De Munck, DDS, PhD/Takuo Kuboki, DDS, PhD/ Yasuhiro Yoshida, DDS, PhD/Kazuomi Suzuki, DDS, PhD/Bart Van Meerbeek, DDS, PhD/Hirofumi Yatani, DDS, PhD
This study compared the effects of various surface treatments and techniques on the marginal leakage of full-coverage crowns using a quasi–three-dimensional evaluation. Crowns were cast using a gold-silver-palladium alloy by means of the lost-wax technique. Twenty-eight recently extracted human molars were divided randomly into four groups according to surface treatment before crown cementation: (1) no pretreatment (negative control), (2) primer (positive control), (3) resin coating and primer, and (4) phosphoric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and primer. All specimens were cemented with composite cement. The lowest marginal leakage was observed in group 4. Variation in marginal leakage between specimens originating from the same tooth was observed.

Beautiful shade of dusty pink with a slight silvery shimmer. Opaque in 2-3 coats. Office friendly but not boring whatsoever, very girly and romantic. Formula is easy to work with, just like with most Orlys I've tried. Now part of the permanent collection. Recommended!

This polish was introduced in Orly's Spring 2012 Cool Romance collection. It's the perfect light dusty mauve-pink, with slight shimmer. It dries extremely shiny and glossy, so I don't find a top coat necessary, but I use one anyway, just to be on the safe side. I get the opacity I want with this in two coats. The color is so fresh and beautiful, it's pretty enough that I would buy it if they made it in lip gloss form lol. The formula's surprisingly impeccable. Not streaky at all on first coat, and not too thick or thin. That's rare for an Orly polish. Would I buy again? Absolutely.

First Albany Ups Big 5 Sporting Goods
First Albany upgraded Big 5 Sporting Goods (BGFV ) to strong buy from buy.
Analyst Harry Ikenson says he is upgrading on strong operating momentum, increased financial flexibility, and compelling valuation. He says the company continues to enhance shareholder value by using free cash flow to de-leverage its balance sheet. He cites yesterday's news that the company will to redeem another $15 million in senior debt, which should create annualized interest rate savings after taxes of about 3 cents per share.
Ikenson increased his $1.52 2004 EPS estimate to $1.54, and $1.84 for 2005 to $1.87, to reflect the impact of lower expense from redemption. He ups $30 price target to $31. He notes that First Albany has an investment banking relationship with the company.

Old thread, but I want to spread the word about my solution to this problem.
I had a sound in my hvac duct that I swore was water dripping. It sounded exactly like water. But it wasn't a drip at all. Instead it was, as many others suggested, thermal expansion. But it was a specific form of thermal expansion. Specifically, my water drip sound (I swore it was water!) came from the point where an elbow HVAC joint joined with my long, straight HVAC duct. I put a large worm gear clamp around the point where the long, straight duct hit the point where it joined the other duct and tightened it down hard. That worked like a charm, the sound immediately went away. You can test it before you use (or buy) the worm gear clamp by grabbing the duct with your hands and squeezing while it's making the sound. If it stops, buy the band and tighten it right where the two ducts join. Mine hasn't come back after a month or two of putting the clamp on. Just google "worm gear clamp" and you'll see what I mean. Just get a big enough one for your duct. Good luck!

I suppose Week 4 has already started, but it was a long weekend for me, so I'm definitely not there yet!
Week 3 was a bit uninspired, but it's amazing how doing this has made me think about my wardrobe just that tiny bit differently. More on that in the final roundup.
Only 3 pics this week, since I wore my well documented Chloe dress on Saturday. Here we have the rest:

SGA Biography Joe Diecedue
Joseph Diecedue, State General Agent in Louisiana, celebrated his 10th anniversary with American Income Life Insurance Company in 2011. Prior to joining AIL, he was a college student at Louisiana State University, working as a bartender and waiter. He joined the Company just four months after he graduated.
He was attracted to American Income Life because it catered to a niche market, allowed him fast-track advancement, weekly income potential, and most importantly, lifetime vested residual renewal income. Says Joseph, "All good things come with sacrifice and the same is true with AIL. If you're willing to work hard, work flexible hours, follow proven systems, and have a positive attitude, there is no better Opportunity Unlimited than AIL!
Joseph says, "Chances are slim my family's lifestyle would be the same if I had joined another company 10 years ago." In 2003, Joseph was awarded the National Leadership Award for the Leadership Academy. In 2010, he was the #2 SGA in his category for Growth Percentage and was appointed to American Income Life's 2011 Executive Council.
Joseph is passionate about AIL products. He says, "Our products are more than beneficial; they are powerful. I knew I had made the right decision to join American Income Life after four months with the Company. A 32-year-old wife and mother of two little daughters died in a car crash. Her husband called to tell me that AIL had already paid for the funeral, and that if it wasn't for my one-hour appointment two months prior, he wouldn't be able to take off work for the next six months to be with his two grieving daughters. He thanked me and asked me to come back to his house and add more coverage on him, since he was the only surviving parent. When I hung up the phone, I knew that my new career with AIL was my life's career. My friends who work at banks or in retail don't get phone calls like that. I get well paid to help protect families, and that's a rewarding career.
In his spare time, Joseph loves spending time with his wife and two baby boys. He also partakes in exercise for both the mind and the spirit and enjoys fishing and traveling, whether on Company trips or with his family.
Giving back is important to Joseph, and he donates regularly to the National and Children's Cancer Foundations and Food for the Hungry.

Travel to Jamaica
Miranda Raevsky
May 8, 2013
Raevsky was provided this opportunity through a full sponsorship from the Kansas City Alumni Association (KCAA). Many alumni were already involved with this service trip and the KCAA decided to sponsor a student as a special way to participate.
Raevsky traveled to Jamaica with fifty health service professionals Feb. 9-18, 2013. While in Jamaica, Raevsky assisted in the running of health clinics. Thousands of people were seen during the nine days the group was in Jamaica. "Our dentist performed more than 500 dental surgeries for folks in real pain and suffering. They were among the 2,500 Jamaicans helped by the largest outside mission group in the U.S. according to the Jamaica Ministry of Health," said Dr. Robert Magee '59. Magee was the coordinator for the entire trip, which was in affiliation with the North Kansas City Rotary Club and the Northminster Presbyterian Church of Kansas City. "We hope the touching of these lives and saving a few from death is an investment in the future."
The effect the mission group had on the patients was truly life changing. "Among patients treated was Clive who lost both legs in a power line accident. We gave him a three wheel card called PET-Personal Energy Transportation. It works like a bike but uses his arms and upper body strength to move from his home to his friends' homes and to the stores. Clive had a big smile as he went to the grocery store for the first time last Friday. He went down the street facing two lines of traffic waving at everyone and smiling. Cars were honking and cheering him on," said Magee.
Raevsky was also accompanied by Culver-Stockton trustee, Dr. Clark Todd of Canton, Mo. This was Todd's second time to Jamaica. "Trips like these are important because they remind you that something that we might view as insignificant can make a big difference in another individual's quality of life," said Todd.
For Miranda, this opportunity was an unexpected, yet amazing experience. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to do something like this. I want to thank everyone so much because it was such an amazing opportunity," said Raevsky. While in Jamaica, Raevsky met multiple contacts to give her recommendations and help advance her career, including a medical doctor who works in an Emergency Room in Kansas City. The doctor has given Raevsky the generous invitation to shadow her during an E.R. shift. Raevsky also plans on talking with the contacts she met in Jamaica about a possible internship. "Going on this mission trip really affirms my passion for continuing my path to medical school," said Raevsky. "After this experience I am completely sure that I want to enter the medical field for my career."
The Kansas City Alumni Association plans to continue sponsoring a student for future service trips. This is a truly honorable goal, for many reasons. Not only did many alumni go to Jamaica to work themselves, they exemplified the Rotary Club's mission, "Service Above Self," by providing an extra volunteer for the effort and giving a student the opportunity of a lifetime.

At last there's some good news on migration: up to 25,000 people are thinking about leaving Britain in the next few months, led by the artist Tracey Emin. "So much here is simply not working now," she announced at the weekend. "The taxes are too high, there aren't enough incentives to work hard, and our politicians have put me off". Just to be clear, when Emin says taxes are too high, she isn't one of the people hit by the abolition of the 10p tax rate for low earners. She's complaining about having to pay the new 50% rate on income over £150,000, which comes into force in April.
Emin says she's "simply not willing" to pay at 50% and may move to France, where she already has a holiday home – another clue, you might think, that she doesn't have to worry about where the next meal is coming from. She's one of a number of high earners who are threatening to decamp, including hedge fund managers and footballers; apparently it was one of the reasons why Jermaine Pennant moved from Liverpool to Spain's Real Zaragoza, where he may be able to pay a "foreign executive" tax rate of only 24%.
At one level, this is a familiar ritual being played. During general elections campaigns, there's usually some self-regarding celeb who declares that he or she will go into tax exile if the wicked tax-and-spend socialists get in. Sadly, they tend not to deliver on the promise, finding a way of coexisting with the most hated Labour chancellors and disappointing those of us who hoped to see the back of them. What's different this time is that the angry celebs are making a pre-election appeal to the Conservatives, offering David Cameron the dubious honour of being the politician who saved Emin and a bunch of overpaid athletes for Britain. Emin has even invited the shadow arts minister Ed Vaizey on a tour of the Frieze art fair in London, where she is offering to make personalised neon signs for the bargain price of £65,000 apiece.
The problem for the Tories, as they ponder this tempting celeb endorsement, is that it might not send the message Cameron's compassionate Conservatives want to project. Whatever your view of the 50% tax rate – and some Labour "modernisers" don't like it, fearing it will deter enterprise – the people who are whingeing about the prospect of paying it inevitably sound so 1980s. "Greed is good," proclaimed Gordon Gekko, and the casino-capitalism he embodied seemed a natural consequence of Margaret Thatcher's announcement that there was no such thing as society.
In a recession, I'm not sure that frank declarations of selfishness play as well as they once did. Unemployment is rising and the most vulnerable members of society are bracing themselves for cuts in public services, no matter who wins the next election. I don't imagine that single mothers, parents of children with learning difficulties or soldiers injured in Afghanistan will have much sympathy for wealthy people who don't think they should pay a little more when so many people are struggling to survive. That includes a sizeable number of the country's artists, writers and musicians, and Emin's complaint about a lack of subsidies and tax incentives for artists would carry more weight if it wasn't juxtaposed with a cri de coeur about her own rather enviable tax situation.
Suggestions of a looming exodus of wealthy people from the UK may have been timed to boost the Conservatives as they try to persuade the country that they're ready for government. It's usually Labour that faces demands to tell the truth about tax, but this is one occasion when Cameron needs to be clear about where he stands. Have the Tories genuinely changed and become compassionate Conservatives? Or should their leader commission a personalised neon sign from Emin: "Greed is good. Tax is bad. Don't worry, we haven't changed that much"?

The Buccaneers now have a backup running back with a recognizable name. After Peyton Hillis worked out for them on Tuesday, the Bucs signed the former Chiefs running back to a one-year deal later in the day. Hillis will compete with Michael Smith , Mike James, and perhaps Brian Leonard for the right to be Doug Martin 's backup.
Following a breakout season in 2010 -- 1,177 rushing yards, 1,654 yards from scrimmage, 13 touchdowns -- Hillis has combined for 1,088 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns the past two years.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is of no concern if you have already drafted Martin. He is still the second- or third-best RB in fantasy, and Hillis will be fighting for only scraps. He'll be paid the veteran minimum, so I think it's a smart, low-risk signing for the Bucs, because Leonard was their only backup RB with a carry to his name. Why no kick the tires on Hillis and see if he has anything left? It didn't seem so last year.
