A political scientist in New Zealand says the changes to Fiji's electoral system are ingenious.
Jon Fraenkel, from the Victoria University of Wellington, says the new constitution may not be the final one as there is a provision included allowing changes before the end of this year.
He says the new open-list system of proportional representation and the dumping of the regional constituencies is a good choice for Fiji, and has been called for in the past, but it's still not clear what type of proportional representation will be selected.
Jon Fraenkel says the previous system made the regime leader vulnerable in next year's election, and the change allows more control.
"What's ingenious is that they have put in a system that treats the whole country as a single constituency, so you're going to have a gigantic tablecloth ballot paper. Presumably you're going to have Frank Bainimarama somewhere up near the top and he's going to be able to use his personal following to get a hell of a lot of votes. Much more than what would be required to get one person elected."
Jon Fraenkel of Victoria University

Some Prompts for Those Who Have to Write Law School Papers
Posted On March 18th, 2011 | Stuff to Read
If you are entering a law school or have already entered one, then be ready to write a variety of the law school papers. They all differ primarily in structure and in the way the ideas should be presented. However, the most important in the law school papers is their content. So, if you are proficient in writing essays, research papers, etc, this might not be enough to write successful law school papers.
Different types of the law school papers
What you need to know is that law school papers should be written in far more complicated language than regular papers. At this, you should know the following: The language of writing should be complicated but understandable. Never write words that you do not understand or use the concepts the meaning of which seems vague to you! Number one rule when writing law school essays is to study the subject of writing well before you begin.
When dealing with law school papers, you may encounter the following of them:
- Essays. These are usually based on case studies that you have to analyze and reflect on.
- Research papers. Most of such law school papers deal with the history of law, specific events in the history that resulted in the adoption of definite laws, etc.
- Reports. These might be about the legal systems of different countries or legal issues that a particular country currently faces.
- Term/course papers. These are usually written at the end of the course and might require you to incorporate the majority of the concepts that you have learnt throughout the course.

Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County
Minor injuries were reported in a three-vehicle crash at 3:10 p.m. Tuesday on Route 422 at Route 210.
State police at Kittanning said Kenneth Schaeffer, 75, of Elderton, was driving east on Route 422 and failed to stop at a red traffic signal at the intersection with Route 210.
Police said Schaeffer's vehicle hit the driver's side of a northbound vehicle on Route 210 driven by Richard Good, 58, of Marion Center. A southbound vehicle on Route 210, driven by Leonard Troutman, whose address was not listed, then entered the intersection and hit Schaeffer's vehicle.
Police were assisted at the scene by paramedics and volunteer firefighters from Indiana, Kittanning, Elderton and Homer City.
East Wheatfield Township
David Pribish, 58, of Johnstown, was driving a coal truck east on Route 22 at 9:13 a.m. Tuesday when a tire malfunctioned, according to state police at Indiana.
Pribish lost control of the rig and it hit the cement divider separating the eastbound and westbound lanes.
Police said Pribish was taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, where a hospital spokeswoman today said he was treated and released.
The coal truck is owned by Yanko Brothers Trucking, according to police.

I live with my husband Colin and young twins, about 2 miles from Sandend and this is our favourite beach for paddling, dog walking and just loving the beach. This is our third self catering holiday cottage, and think it will be our best! We are busy redecorating and furnishing, and should be ready for the Easter holidays - so everything is new. We aim to make it a home from home, with all the facilities you should need, from luxurious Egyptian Cotton sheets and towels, feather duvets, down to all the kitchen accessories. There is a barbeque, so you can sit in the summer house, admire the view and eat al fresco.
Since we live so close, and are often in Sandend anyway, we are always on hand to answer any queries, point you in the direction of some of the best attractions and things to do, and, if necessary, sort out any problems.

Lots of progress to report.
The buzz problem is fixed. I was using a twisted pair wire of wires to connect the RCA inputs to the front end board. EMI turned out to be the culprit. I did not have any shielded cable around so I used some cat 6 cable and that works like a champ. No hum or buzz as long as I have a cable connected to the input.
If I short the inputs the amp is dead quiet. Thanks to 6L6 for setting me on that course - it told me something other than the amp was causing the issue.
The rustling sound in the right channel is another story. I am using an Apple TV box connected to a Schiit Bifrost DAC as my source. I am using the volume control on my iPhone via Airplay, as I have not built my passive volume control yet. I suspect what is happening is the digital volume control function is causing the noise. If I unplug the Apple TV or the DAC the rustling sound goes away. In any case, that's my theory and I will keep everyone posted. My plan is to build the PVC and see what happens.

BA-3 Gain stage ?
After looking over Nelsons super cool BA-3 gain stage the one without feedback I began to wonder if this or a similar modded design might have enough gain to be used as a stand alone very high gain preamp.
I was told by someone that the balanced version has bucketloads of gain, not being aware of some of the parts just guessing it seems like it might be good for about 20-25 db tops but this is a complete guess not knowing the value of q-3 for starters.
Would the gracious Mr Pass or someone else savvy with his designs be able to resolve my query?
What is the gain in db with 600ohm impedance at each end of the BA3 balanced gain stage for the power amp?
I desire to find a gain stage that can be used for a good 40 db and doubled up a good 70 db for things such as very low output moving coil, passive filter front /back ends and microphone preamps. It sure would be nice to adjust the gain via local feedback rather than be stuck at one level with attenuation padding or loop phase cancellation on a solid state design.
Obviously the gain adjustment would be far less linear in such a beast than that with a big negative loop but I can live with that.
If anyone has an answer and even if this is the wrong forum for such a query I apologize as this site is vast and robust and much better than TV so please point me in the right direction.
Thank you,

am i wrong if i would say this pre could make a nice current dac output stage, permitting to have a nice low value I/V resistor at the dac output if needed. One then could fiddle with the gain and I/V resistor value.
I'm just a bit worried about the noise that would such a gain induce. I'm not an expert though.
...or maybe change the first stage like in the picture

i m not sure if the BA-3 would yield good performance numbers with a gain of 40dB, but maybe it could. I'm no expert though...
If youre looking for a good phono stage, definately look for Salas Phono. I dont know if it sounds good or suit your tastes but salas makes VERY good stuff in general.

Here's an update on my BA-3 build.
I was chasing a buzzing issue that was driving me nuts. It would come and go. Every time I thought I had it fixed it would come back. Well, it turned out to be EMI from a dimmer switch. I finally realized one day that dimmer on = buzz. I believe it was radiated emissions being coupled into the amp by the interconnects. I was able to get the buzz down to tolerable levels by proper cable dress and implementing a proper star ground. This was with the AC safety ground tied to the star ground and chassis.
I then decided to isolate the star ground from chassis and safety ground using a diode bridge and CL60. The result was absolutely no buzz, with ear to the speakers, with the dimmer on or off. The amp is now absolutely dead quiet.
When I built the amp I could only get jfets with an idss of about 3.5 ma. I could not get Q3 and Q4 biased with the stock parts values so I substituted a 1K pot for P1 and P2 and changed R6 and R7 from 100 to 1000 ohms. This worked, but the bias of Q3 and Q4 was unstable even after warm-up.
I then realized from reading the article that R6 and R7 set the gain of the jfets along with R8. (Of course I could have picked that up from the schematic but I was blind to it at the time.) Instead of unity gain, I had a gain of about ten. Anyway, long story short, I bought some "c" grade Linear Systems parts, changed R6 and R7 back to 100 ohms and now all is well.
I am running the output stage at 500 ma bias per device.
Today I am going to jack up the bias of Q3 and Q4 to about 100 ma and see how that sounds.
Speaking of sound, the thing sounds pretty spectacular. The sound stage extends well beyond the speakers. I like to listen loud, and I have yet to have any listening fatigue. Plenty of bass into 92 db 4 ohm speakers. This thing is as smooth as Macallan 25.
My thanks to Nelson and the rest of you who designed the amp, laid out the circuit boards, designed the 5U chassis, found sources for parts, did the documentation and BOMs, maintained the threads, operated the store, shelled out the $$ for inventory, answered my silly questions, etc. It's obviously a labor of love for you folks and I am really enjoying the result.
I have a friend coming over today to give it a listen and I'm betting I will be building one for him next.

Key codes for 2013 X3?
When we bought our new X3, we were given training on the iDrive, break-in, BMW Assist (I've had MIS graduate courses that were less technical) but I just noticed that we didn't get key codes for the BMW fobs. We did get codes when we bought the 2009 335 and the 2010 535 xi. Does BMW still issue key codes for 2013?
What's a key code?
It's a code number so that the dealer service department can program another key fob in case you lose or damage yours. I did check the case containing the owner's manual and "welcome kit" but didn't find any key code tags. We'll call the dealership to check, but maybe such things aren't used anymore?
I just thought I'd check with the X3 aficionados:) thank you in advance.
I don't recall seeing or getting any. My guess is that it's not required and just driven off the VIN, if you need a new key. Please post back what you find to confirm.
I have no key codes for my '11 X3 either.
When you call the dealership to ask about the key codes, ask them about the cost to replace a lost key. It's not just the cost of a replacement key fob, it's the cost of the required programming too. You'll find that it will add up to a several hundred dollar replacement cost.
Thanks for the prompt replies. The cost of a new key fob was posted at my dealer's service desk as $220. Pretty steep in my book, so I'll have to be really careful. I'll post what else I find out.
No key codes for me either.
Found out from BMW USA that there are no key codes issued, you get replacement key fobs from your dealer or BMW Service Center. Again, thank you all for the prompt replies.

Paul Rudd News
Paul Rudd, Michael Pena and the rest of the 'Ant-Man' cast can't stop dancing in this gag reel from the upcoming Blu-ray release.
Yesterday saw the Digital HD release of Marvel's Ant-Man. I watched it again last night along with the bonus features and decided to write up a bit of a review. Now most of you have probably already seen the movie, so I'm going to focus less on the film itself and more on the Blu-ray and whether or not it's worth owning. It's hard to judge how the film did without putting it into context of the company it keeps. The film made $518 million dollars worldwide. For most films that would be big. For a Paul Rudd heist/comedy film that would be HUGE.
The movie Ant-Man may star Paul Rudd as the Marvel Cinematic Universeâs smallest superhero. But the film will feature a generously-sized array of bonus features when it is released on digital HD on Nov. 17, and 3-D Blu-ray on Dec. 8, according to director Peyton Reed. âWell, Paul Rudd and...

JOHANNESBURG – Nelson Mandela, who was separated from his family for nearly three decades in an apartheid prison, endured a long history of heartache in his private life.
His last high-profile heartache came when his great-granddaughter died in a car crash on the eve of the 2010 World Cup — an event Mandela was instrumental in bringing to the country, and Africa's first. Zenani Mandela, 13, was a favorite of Mandela's and had been chosen to carry the Confederations Cup trophy onto the podium at the final at Johannesburg's Ellis Park in June 2009.
Her death was the latest in a long line of family tragedies for the world's best-loved statesman, who lost three children and had two broken marriages.
Mandela, who died Thursday at age 95, was plunged into mourning during his first marriage to Evelyn Ntoko Mase, when their baby daughter, Makaziwe, died at just 9 months old in 1947.
The couple's oldest son, Madiba Thembekile, was killed in a car accident in 1969 while Mandela was in prison on Robben Island.
At the time he was serving a life sentence for his role in creating the armed wing of the African National Congress, and the apartheid authorities refused to allow him to attend the funeral.
He was also barred from attending his mother's funeral the previous year.
In his first memoir, "Long Walk to Freedom," Mandela wrote of the pain he felt at missing the funerals and his guilt at putting the political struggle before his family. "Had I made the right choice in putting the people's welfare even before that of my own family?" he asked. "In South Africa it is hard for a man to ignore the needs of the people, even at the expense of his own family," he said. "But that did not lessen the sadness I felt."
Mandela's other son with Mase, Makgatho Lewanika Mandela, died of an AIDS-related illness in 2005.
He spoke openly about the cause of his son's death, becoming one of the first public figures to break the taboo around the AIDS epidemic engulfing South Africa, which was on its way to becoming the world's worst-affected country.
"Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because the only way of making it appear to be a normal illness . . . is always to come out and say somebody has died because of HIV," he said.
Mandela's marriage to Mase ended in divorce in 1958. He married Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in June the same year, but that marriage also ended unhappily.
After surviving Mandela's long imprisonment, the couple separated two years after his release in 1990 and divorced in 1996 during Mandela's term as South Africa's first democratically elected president.
Winnie had surrounded herself with a band of thugs christened the Mandela United Football Club, who murdered a young activist called Stompie Sepei.
Mandela stood by her when she was convicted for kidnapping Sepei, and announced their separation only in 1992.
Winnie's six-year sentence was suspended on appeal, and in 1994 she was made a deputy minister in his government. She was later sacked for insubordination.
She was elected to parliament in 2009, and remains a prominent political voice.
Mandela remarried again in 1998, to Graca Machel, who is herself no stranger to tragedy. Her first husband, Mozambican President Samora Machel, was killed in a mystery air crash in northern South Africa in 1986.

Treasurer's silence leads to concerns over deficit
Page Tools
The NSW Treasurer, Michael Egan, has failed to issue two monthly reports in a row about the state of the NSW budget, raising questions over whether this year's NSW deficit is slipping further into the red.
Under the Public Finance and Audit Act, the Treasurer is supposed to give a monthly account of how the budget is travelling.
However, so far there is no sign of any update, although the property industry lobby says there is a serious shortfall in receipts from the new 2.25 per cent tax on the sale of investment properties.
At the time of the mini-budget in April, which shelved a number of major projects, Mr Egan announced that the new vendor's tax would collect $690 million in its first full year of operation - out of a budget of $36 billion.
But the Property Council of Australia, which has lobbied against the tax, used freedom of information laws to extract the latest available monthly figures.
In July the tax delivered $10 million to the state's coffers; in August, it was significantly up at $26 million. But to reach the target, collections need to be close to $60 million every month for the entire year.
The Treasurer's office has argued the tax was still settling in and had not yet flowed through from larger commercial sales which can take months to settle.
Over the weekend, the Opposition Leader, John Brogden, complained to the state's Auditor General, Bob Sendt, about the delay in releasing information about the state of the budget.
"I fear that the Treasurer is deliberately covering up a serious deterioration in the state's budget position only two months into the financial year," Mr Brogden wrote.
Mr Brogden pointed to a section of the public finance laws which states: "The Treasurer is to publicly release a statement for each month (a monthly statement) by the end of the following month, setting out the budget time projections and year-to-date balances for the major GFS [government finance statistics] aggregates disclosed in the budget."
The law does allow a delay for events such as a budget or a half yearly review but it is quite specific in requiring monthly disclosure at other times.
Mr Egan insisted at an upper house of Parliament estimates hearing on September 13 that he had not seen a revision of the budget when pressed on the question of how the vendor tax was travelling.
At the time he told MPs: "Probably at some stage this month we will get the monthly financial statement for July ... and that is made public by the way."
A spokesman for Mr Egan said yesterday that the July figures would be released "very soon".
The 2004-05 budget is Mr Egan's first that is anticipated to be a deficit.
After notching up eight consecutive surplus budgets, the Treasurer was forced in June to admit that the state would run a $379 million deficit this year.
The reasons were obvious: higher than expected salary increases for public sector employees such as teachers and nurses and a sharp slowdown in activity in the NSW housing market.
Booming stamp duty receipts had propped up successive budgets for the best part of the past decade but even a "soft landing" for Sydney house prices was inevitably going to hit the state's budget balance.

I recently spent a while trying to integrate the Office Communicator presence pawn into a custom web part and found it a little tricky so wanted to share my learning's. With SharePoint 2010's new social capabilities, I see this integration as being a must-have for any webpart or other custom interface that refers to people.
How does SharePoint do it?
Whenever a person's name is mentioned in the standard SharePoint UI, if the user has Office Communicator installed, the name will be shown with the Office Communicator 'pawn'. The pawn shows the user's status and gives them access to the pop-up menu to see more details.
Depending on which version of Office the user has installed, the experience will vary, however it will be the same experience as seen in Outlook. In Office 2010 it is a square icon with a richer drop-menu, in 2007 it is round.
In addition to the pawn, the user's name will be a hyperlink to their profile page. This will vary depending on whether the user is in the main 'User Profile Service Application' (or 'profile database' for old-school terminology) or not. If the user does have a profile then the hyperlink will redirect to the user's main profile page under My Site. If the user does not have a profile, the hyperlink will redirect to the SharePoint Foundation 'User Information' page. All users in a site have a 'User Information' page, if they also have a User Profile the settings from the profile are synchronised down to the User Information page on a scheduled basis (by a timer job).
The key piece of information to make the presence work is the user's SIP Address which is basically their IM address (This is not always the same as email address). When a users is either added to a site in SharePoint or has their profile imported, the SIP Address will be drawn from Active Directory which is where OCS stores it and placed into the SIP address field in either the user's profile which will in turn synchronise down to the site's local 'User Information' page.
How does the pawn work in terms of HTML?
The pawn is basically an IMG element which has "IMNRC('[user's SIP Address]')" for the onload function. This will user client-side script that is part of Office to load the presence pawn on the page.
The hyperlink on the user's name is just a simple A element which redirects to "/_layouts/userdisp.aspx?ID=[User's local user information list item ID]". This userdisp.aspx page will then redirect to the user's main profile page if they have a profile, otherwise it will display the basic information that the user information list item stores.
How to get the SIP Address?
Hopefully you'll have spotted by now that the presence pawn relies on the user's SIP Address. To get the SIP address you need to get the user's User Information list item from the local site's (SPWeb to be precise) SiteUserInfoList which is basically a hidden SPList that is in every web.
There is a handy property to get you to this list called 'SPWeb.SiteUserInfoList'. This will give you an SPList object which represents the User Information list. From here you just need to find the item that represents the user you wish to display. The best way to do this is via their ID (the ID of the list item) by calling SPWeb.SiteUserInfoList.GetItemById([int User's ID]), however you can also use a variety of other methods which use SPQuery or match a specific field to a value.
In most scenarios, you may be getting the user information from a SPFieldUserValueCollection which is basically the field type that is used for 'Person' fields. If this is the case you can use SPFieldUserValue.LookupId to get the ID of the user's User Information list item.
Putting it all together
This code sample is a method that accepts an SPFieldUserValueCollection and SPSite as inputs and returns back the HTML for displaying each entry in the SPFieldUserValueCollection with the presence pawn and link to their profile. This will be presented exactly as SharePoint presents it by default. This could be extended to use ALT tags in the IMG and A elements.
I then simply add the HTML to an HtmlWriter or in my case a TableCell.Text property to display it on screen.
I've take a few extra steps here by adding ID and alt tags and trying to make the code readable, but I'm sure you get the idea:
public string GetPresenceHTMLFromUVC(SPSite thisSite, SPFieldUserValueCollection uvc)
StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder("");
using (SPWeb thisWeb = thisSite.RootWeb)
foreach (SPFieldUserValue uv in uvc)
string sipAddress = "";
//Get the sip address if it exists
SPListItem user = thisWeb.SiteUserInfoList.GetItemById(uv.LookupId);
if (user["SipAddress"] != null)
sipAddress = user["SipAddress"].ToString();
//construct the html for this user and add to overall html
"
"
, ""
, ""
, uv.User.Name
, "
"
return html.ToString();

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, 97 N* Shaky idle in Cadillac Engine Discussion; ...
97 N* Shaky idle
Hi guys,
It seems that I got the same idle problem like CaddyNewbie, about 50% or more of the time the idle is rough. I would describe the problem as RPM drops with a 3-5 sec. frequencies, sometime (very rarely) continuos drops (the car shakes pretty badly especially if is in gear). The engine doesnt stall, the drops are just a few tens of RPM. Once I touch the gas pedal is like floating on a cloud. Also, some time I got hesitations on highway speeds when accelerating moderately (gas only premium).
About 20000 Km ago I changed the spark plugs (wiring looks fine) and recently I got the TB cleaned, no codes. I went with the car to my mechanic and guess what: that day the idle was perfect (this Murphy ) so no wonder his conclusion: there is nothing wrong with the car.
Oil consumption, less than a quarter every 5000 Km, recently I got low on coolant (no leak detected ), I appreciate that the amount and color of the smoke is normal. I also got that grinding-whistling sound at low speeds when the steering wheel is turned all the way (witch I believe is normal). Everything is perfect except that idle thing.
Aa , the car is a 97 STS with 128000 Km (~80.000 Miles).
History (since I got-it):
- Air Filter and spark plugs changed (Bosch Platinum +4) at about 106.000 Km;
- Fuel pump changed at about 108.000 Km (brand new OEM);
- Brake pads changed at about 112.000 Km,
- Front right wheel speed sensor changed (at 121.000 Km);
- Never drove more than 5000 Km with the same oil (Valvoline).
Returning to the idle problem, it was always there (coming and going). After changing the spark plugs I had a good idle for a few weeks. As an overall image the idle seems to be somehow better than before changing the spark plugs. Absolutely no difference detected after cleaning the TB (except no more that sticky pedal).
Anyway I guess not to many Toyota and Honda drivers get thumbs up to a traffic light when exactly the same car is stopped on the other line...
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
The generally agreed upon issue with spark plugs around here is that these cars are far more likely to run correctly with genuine AC-Delco double platinum spark plugs. A few have gotten their cars to run okay on Bosch plugs, but the majority that have tried other brands came back to OEM. Also, even thought the wires "look fine", they may need to be changed, also AC-Delco recommended.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
Hello N*Caddy
I had similar problem awhile back. Replacement of plugs AND plug wires solved the problem for me. I also noticed my fuel rails were loose so I tightened those. Runs GREAT now.
Good luck,
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
I second staying with OEM. On this forum, no one had recommended Bosch or any other brand.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
A, yeah, good point with those fuel rails, when I bought the car (about one year ago) I did notice that for a mysterious reason the previous owner cut the bracket welded between the fuel lines (right were they go under the beauty cover). But since there is no apparent looseness I did nothing about it.
This is the only "funny" stuff discovered on the car so far.
As for the ignition (hoping that the problem is electrical), I think would start with the wiring.

Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
I am experiencing a very similar situation. I had a rough idle very soon after buying my 1999 STS. I changed the plugs AND wires (oem) and my problem was solved.... for a few weeks. Now the rough idle is back and a bit worse. A friend of mine that used to own a repair shop took a quick look the other day. He said it sounded like one of the spark plugs was damaged and arcing, causing the rough idle. He cautiously suggested that I since I'm not a Pro (like him) I may have cracked one when I was putting them in. Even though there's NO WAY I could have cracked a plug I'll check them out anyway this weekend. If one's cracked I'll tell him it was defective when I bought it!
I'll let you know if it solved my problem.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
^^ Yeah do keep us posted. I am hoping to do plugs & wires in the spring.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
Update referring my shaky idle
Yesterday I just had my car to the shop to change the water pump (yeah, she finally gave up on me at 131000 Km).
When they started the engine to check if everything is ok after the water pumps replacement they discovered that my car was shooting fuel (literally).
It turned out to be a small hose mounted on the fuel lines witch was replaced by the previous owner. Apparently the hose was not fuel use rated and in time got socked with gas like a sponge. Well I did notice a thin sent of gas while driving (especially lately) but according to my mechanic that smell was coming from the fuel tank. Now I know probably why the fuel rails bracket was cut in the first place.
I was very happy to finally find something wrong on the fuel delivery system, possible cause of all those idle shakes (especially considering the misfires on highway accelerations were more frequent lately). Guess what, looks like the problem is not solved yet because in the 100-km or so driven, since I got the car repaired, I felt the shakes once while waiting on a traffic light. Is true, the car is performing like in her best days before the repair but still. Is true I didnt have the misfires yet (hope to stay that way) but in just a 100 km is hard to tell.
The good news with the water pump is that I was just planing to do a coolant flush, which would have been money well spent
Before changing the spark plug wire set I will try to unplug each wire to se if I can determine the bad wire (that in case is just one), but unfortunately I dont have the place and somehow the time to do that. I tried once the front ones and it seems like piston no 2 was not doing much difference with the plug off (I mean not as much as the other three).
Anyway I will keep you updated
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
^^ Wow at the fuel line!! I would have been scared and pissed off at the same time!
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
I just came for a hundred km trip and guess what, shakes are there, misfires are there, maybe not as frequent as before and a little more discrete but still… the good news: no more gas smell.
As for the fuel lines recall on the 96-97 (the way I knew, looks like 95 is to), I assumed that the previous owner got it to GM (I mean is a pretty well known problem). I will have to check with my local dealer if my car had it done ore not because if is free who doesn't like the price! (Not to mention the safety factor involved).
Anyway thanks' for the advice clarkz71 is not something to relax about…
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
No need to check with the dealer. Just remove the silver beauty cover and have a look at the fuel rails. If they are black plastic, they are OEM. If they are stainless steel, they are the recall replacment rails.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
He said the original owner replaced a small hose on the rail. He couldn't do that on a stainless rail. Checking with the dealer is just to see if he can get a free rail. I don't know if he can in Canada.
Re: 97 N* Shaky idle
OH Canada! I think we went through this before and it was only a U.S. recall. I forgot about the fix. Yeah, if that was in place, I am pretty sure it is stil OEM.

Interpretive Summary: Rapid detection of biological agents in food remains a high priority for food safety regulators. In this study, a new approach to identify anthrax spores in milk was tested. The best approach appears to be using antibodies bound to magetic beads which pull the spores out of the milk with a magnet. Rapid mass spectrometry can then be used to unequivocally identify the spores as Bacillus anthracis. This could be a useful rapid approach to identify this biological agent as well as other agents in milk.
Technical Abstract: New approaches for identifying biological threat agents in raw milk using spectroscopy were tested using Bacillus anthracis (BA) Sterne strain spores seeded into unpasteurized bulk tank milk. Direct filtration onto Tyvek' membranes provided the optimal filtration approach from raw milk, but detection limits were not ideal. When beads coated with anti-BA antibodies were mixed with spores in raw milk, the beads were capable of concentrating the spores that could be later detected and characterized by MALDI spectroscopy based on presence of previously characterized small acid soluble proteins (SASP's). This approach could provide a very rapid assessment of whether milk or milk products have been purposefully contaminated with BA spores.

What? Am I insane? Officially, yes, but that's not important. This is a PHP script that can hide files in images. It takes a JPG and converts to PNG. It requires GDlib and is almost totally pointless.
This script has almost no purpose; it is insecure in a number of ways (explained below), it is slow, and there are much better programs available. Lastly, I can see no reason that anyone would ever actually *need* PHP to perform steganography. But it was great fun to write, and perhaps you'll enjoy playing with the source code!
insecurity explained
Firstly, the script requires that you upload your secret file to my webserver, not only do you have no reason to trust me, but the file transfer could be sniffed, thus rendering the steganography pointless.
Assuming you could get around this (eg by using SSL on a trusted server, or running the script locally), the actual implementation of steganography itself is actually very weak; notice that there's no built in encryption – anyone with access to your encoded image can simply pass it through the decode script and reveal the file. Additionally, the bitstream is encoded in a very boring 'left-right-top-bottom' way, so even if the attacker didn't know the details of the decoding, I suspect it would be fairly trivial to guess.
Anyway, like most of the code here, this is a 'concept' piece and not actually designed for a specific use. I wondered if it could be done, noticed that no-one else had done it, and decided to give it a shot.
Incidentally, if any steganography experts are reading this, some tips on steganographising jpegs would be appreciated :-)

chicken or the egg
2 Attachment(s)
I have some plain vanilla, single pane, crank out casement windows in my daylight basement (see picture below) that I will be replacing with something "new and better" later this year.
I plan to finish the basement adding about 6 inches of depth (XPS & framing
& GWB) to the walls at the existing half block & veneer brick window locations.
One of the windows is a triple and three are doubles.
The triple and one of the doubles need to meet bedroom egress codes.
Second pic shows a pass door and an OH door; both will be eliminated and framed in.
The door spot gets a new window. The OH gets a new door and a window.
I'd like for ALL the new windows to look like each other.
The upstairs has plain vanilla vinyl double hung's.
I think that covers the basic conditions.
Feel free to rip me a new one if I missed anything.
So... 1) what are the "new and better" choices available that might suit?
and 2) once the old glass, frame and hardware have been removed and the other openings have been framed in what prep does the raw opening require in order to mount that "new and better" window style being recommended?
and 3) how deep into the raw openings would those windows sit?
Two days, almost 300 views... and no comments?
Will double hung windows meet the egress requirement?

With only six games left, the fight for a home playoff series is on. However, due to the remaining schedules of teams were close with, we may need some help. Either way, all we can do the rest of the way is win our own games.
We face three of the top teams in our league, with two games against RIT, Niagara and Mercyhurst in that order. Coincidentally, if I was asked to list our three biggest rivals, those schools would no doubt be the three.
So, it seems there is no better way to wind down our regular season. Whether we end up earning a home playoff series or not, we need to gain some momentum going into the postseason. That momentum can start this week against RIT. We know how good of a team RIT can be but also know we have the ability to beat them, as we did earlier in the year.
Playing a home-and-home series, we know there will be a hostile environment for both games. RIT always brings a couple busloads of fans to Buffalo, and they consistently sell out at home. We would love to see some Canisius supporters at home Thursday to help quiet RIT!
C-BLOCK is offering a deal to all Canisius students to make a trip down the I-90 with us Saturday night. For $10, each student receives bus transportation to the game in Rochester, a game ticket, and pizza! Hockey games at RIT are a pretty neat experience and I'd recommend the trip to all fellow students. It is only an hour drive and will promise to be a good time with food, friends, and fast-paced hockey.
With RIT and Niagara coming up, we're looking forward to good games and rowdy crowds. As a senior, I couldn't ask for a better, more challenging stretch run. After coming out flat against Robert Morris this past Friday and bouncing back Saturday, the team should be ready from the puck drop the rest of the way. We haven't played well in a number of first periods this year but are determined to stomp out that problem.
Three weeks until playoffs. No excuses. No regrets.
Until next week, keep your head up.

Wondering where the photo from coffee + cre8tive came from? "At some point in your life, you want something that is real!" That thought is what drives P.O.S.H. to search high & low for the items that stock its shelves – an eclectic assortment of vintage Hotel Silver, Restaurant China & Flea Market Finds. Found in such disparate places as old American china warehouses to the antique markets and auction houses of Europe, the items sold at P.O.S.H. are often one-of-a-kind or limited in quantity. From a vintage silverplate Tea Service once used in an English Country Inn to a beautiful Water Pitcher from a Grand Hotel in New York, many of our pieces tell a romantic story of an age gone by.

On The Value Of Ideas Vs. Execution
Inspiration and perspective from Silicon Valley for innovators and entrepreneurs in areas and industries outside of technology.
The ongoing effort to inform, innovate and bring to market ideas that will be valued by an audience – and generate revenue/profit – has fueled a discussion on whether ideas or their execution are more important drivers of success. We've even discussed it at PSFK – to a degree – with pieces like The Myth of Stolen Ideas. Contributing to the discussion is an interesting perspective by Nathaniel Whittemore at Assetmap – aptly titled Lets End the Myth that Ideas are Worthless.
While Whittemore's piece deserves the full read, it can also be largely summarized by stating that the author believes it's not a one or the other proposition. We cannot reduce the importance of ideas (and their inherent beliefs regarding human behavior) nor the contributions of execution in trying to grossly oversimplify creation and innovation down to a magic bullet. We simply have to recognize that a business venture or product idea will not excellence of both.
We found Whittemore's piece to provide some additional perspective on the current entrepreneurial climate in Silicon Valley. Particularly for those looking to innovative and bring non-technical product and business ideas to market (be in big CPG or a local restaurant with a very specific concept), Silicon Valley provides some inspiration on the process of innovation and entrepreneurial 'launch' mentality that could serve as a resource for those with more experiential, 'analog' business ideas.
We culled a few notions and resources from Whittemore's piece that could be of relevance and inspiration:
- The Lean Startup Methodology – a highly influential intellectual force currently impacting Silicon Valley – helps startups create iterative cycles with actual customer feedback; ultimately, startups are able to achieve more effective 'product-market fit', or a sizable audience that truly wants to use your product.
- The Lean Startup is credited with introducing the notion of the "pivot" – when a company makes a major, difficult shift from an old model to a revised one – into Silicon Valley's current vocabulary.
- Y Combinator is currently the most influential institution in the Valley, focusing on developer centric teams and rapid development that gets products to market fast. The 'pivots' experienced by its early stage companies are often very public and visible to the Silicon Valley community following them – representing equal opportunities for SV audience to learn from them, or to misjudge why certain things 'failed' without fully understanding the reasons/actions driving the idea – vs. the execution – of each idea.
- According to Whittemore;
Ultimately, the dichotomy between idea and execution is false. Embedded in every step of execution are ideas, or put differently, assertions of belief about human behaviors. The "pivot" itself only works if the pivot is to a new idea that is good and well executed: pivoting from a bad idea to a new bad idea still leaves you in the same spot. Gmail and Friendfeed creator and new YC partner Bucheit gets a lot closer to the smart middle of this conversation with his concept of "judgement," or the idea that much of startup "execution" is judgement about which ideas to pursue and how.
The piece also got us thinking about the packaging of ideas overall – and how, rather than accept any single idea as thesis because it comes from the lips or pen of a perceived 'thought leader' in any given industry, they should be digested and considered, not just as a single, defining magic bullet (i.e, curation! creating community! social!), but as one of several notions to be questioned, tested, applied and judged in order to provide consumers a product – and brand – they actually want to use and relate to.

Oguni keeps OPBF 122lb belt
By Joe Koizumi
Unbeaten WBC#12/WBA#14 OPBF super-bantam champ Yukinori Oguni (10-0, 2 KOs), 122, kept his regional belt as he was awarded a split but well-received decision (116-112, 116-114 and 113-114) over ex-titlist Roli Gasca (19-4, 5 KOs), also 122, an aggressive Filipino youngster, over twelve hard-fought rounds on Sunday in Kobe, Japan. It was a grudge fight as Oguni dropped Gasca twice to dethrone him via upset verdict at the same venue a year ago. Since then, Oguni, an up-and-coming prospect with his amateur career, successfully made a couple of defenses, defeating former OPBF ruler Hiromasa Ohashi and highly world-rated national titlist Masaaki Serie this year.
But Oguni today experienced a tough fight as Gasca showed his determination to win back his belt with his all physical and mental power from the outset. It's Oguni's long jabs and effective rights that prevented Gasca from taking the initiative in the proceedings. After the eighth, the open scoring system showed Oguni was leading: 79-74, 78-76 and 75-77. Oguni, a taller and lanky speedster, made good use of his tight guard and solid body shots to weaken the still pugnacious Filipino in later rounds. It's a very good competitive fight.
Hiroto Fukuhara (15-7-8, 7 KOs), 129.75, stunned the crowd with a sudden and smashing countering right that impressively halted highly regarded Filipino Roberto Gonzalez (20-2, 11 KOs), 129.75, at 1:53 of the third round in a scheduled eight. Gonzalez barely regained his feet, but couldn't maintain his equilibrium, so the ref duly called a halt.
Jecker Buhawe (14-7-1, 9 KOs), 115.75, scored a dramatic last-round stoppage of Japanese hard-puncher Shinichiro Morikawa (11-4-1, 8 KOs), 115.5, at 2:42 of the eighth session. His quick combination was an effective haymaker..

The news has been reported and the shock waves are rippling through the NBA world.
Potential franchise big man, Kansas' Joel Embiid, has hurt his foot, according to ESPN.com.
That has the potential to shake up the entire top 10 of next week's NBA Draft. Before today, Embiid was almost a lock to go No. 1 to Cleveland. Now? That's certainly in jeopardy, and there's a chance that Embiid's slide could be steep.
This is big news. When healthy, Embiid is smooth, yet startling athletic for a seven-footer. He's a defensive stalwart, yet can score with the ball in his hands on the post.

Inspired by the little seaside town where I live
and the ever-changing colors of the sky and ocean
these tumbled glass beauties were created
by mixing and matching a variety of natural materials
with bright beautiful shades of blues and greens.
I wanted to create multilayered multifaceted pieces
that can be layered or worn alone
and are perfect for that statement pop of color.
Grateful to have them included in the latest Jewelry Affaire Magazine!

I WATCHED the dramatic, error-ridden second Test between the Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions from a splendid seat in the stands at Etihad Stadium. But I actually ''saw'' what was happening from listening on a radio device to the comments between the referee, Craig Joubert, his assistant referees and the players on both sides.
Joubert did a fine job of sorting out the scrums, lineouts and rucks. He was accurate and polite. At one stage, he sort of apologised to Brian O'Driscoll who was penalised for disregarding (for the umpteenth time) the laws relating to the breakdown: ''You probably didn't hear me call out 'ruck' above the noise of the crowd.''
Early on in the second half, I heard James Horwill call out to Joubert in exasperation when yet another Lions player went down with a feigned injury: ''These stoppages are never-ending.'' Joubert said he couldn't do much about the stoppages because they might involve ''medical'' issues. There is no doubt in my mind that the Lions had a game plan at Melbourne to force the Wallabies to play stop-start rugby.
Just about every lineout in their own half was preceded by an injury. But only one of the 12 lineouts in the Wallabies half was preceded by an injury delay. That lineout, ironically, was the last lineout of the Test which was turned over by the Wallabies.
Of the seven scrums in the Lions' territory, six were preceded by Lions injuries. But of the seven scrums in the Wallaby half, only two were preceded by injuries. Every time the Lions medic and runners flooded on to the field they could be seen passing on messages to the players. This violation of the spirit (and laws?) of the game applied also to Neil Jenkins, the Lions kicking coach, who appeared to coach the kicker when the Lions had shots at goal.
The Lions carried this cynical approach into their game plan. They refused to run the ball or pass to George North. Instead they kicked bombs and used North to barge (illegally in my opinion) into the catcher like Bryan Habana.
The Lions ran for only 140-plus metres compared with the 440-plus by the Wallabies. This win-at-any-costs approach on the field, which is not in the Lions tradition, has been matched by a nasty cynicism off the field. How can we explain the statements made by Lions management and players in the James Horwill case? In my opinion, there seemed to be some sort of collaboration between the Lions camp (but not the coaches and tour managers) and senior IRB members to force Horwill out of the series.
Nigel Hampton, QC, the commissioner who cleared Horwill is a judge in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, and the Chief Justice of Tonga. He spent four hours reviewing footage from nine cameras and various speeds. He gave a comprehensive argument in clearing Horwill. Yet the IRB ordered a review that implied Hampton, QC, was incompetent and that Horwill was a liar.
Where did this come from? Moreover, the IRB did not follow its own processes. Article 17.22.4 of the regulations regarding the appeal requires the name of the appellant lodging the appeal and the grounds of appeal. Neither was lodged. The appeal commission is required to consist of two to five commissioners. Yet there was only one. The IRB statement on the Horwill appeal decision ends: ''The IRB will be making no further comment on the case.'' Why won't the IRB publish the documents required by its own regulations?
The ultimate cynicism is the Lions coaching staff dropping Brian O'Driscoll and promoting Samoan-born Manu Tuilagi. There is a growing number of sportsmen in Britain being recruited to supposedly national sides such as the Lions who enjoy a ''non-domicile'' law that allows them to split their income and receive benefits of up to 40 per cent outside Britain where it is untaxed.
No wonder many passionate Irish rugby supporters are barracking for the Wallabies.

Steve Sanders was a wide receiver from Cleveland, Ohio, who played four years for the University of Cincinnati football team. But that's not how he will be remembered on the UC campus.
This is what made Sanders part of Bearcat basketball history: It was his 3-pointer from the corner as time ran out that gave Cincinnati a 66-64 victory over Minnesota in the first game ever at Shoemaker Center - and the first game of the Bob Huggins era.
That was 20 years ago this week.
Here is what led up to Nov. 25, 1989 ...
Sanders' last football season was 1988. He knew he was coming back to UC for a fifth year to try and complete requirements for his degree. In the spring of 1989, Sanders was playing intramural basketball and caught the eye of new assistant basketball coach Larry Harrison. Harrison, who was on the lookout for players, asked News Record reporter Branson Wright about Sanders and another football player, Roosevelt Mukes. Wright was friends with Sanders, who played pickup games every off-season with UC basketball players, felt he held his own and often wondered whether he could play Division I basketball.
The next fall, Sanders joined the basketball team for preseason conditioning, then had second thoughts.
"That was the hardest thing I ever did in my life," Sanders said. "I talked to Coach Harrison and said, 'I don't know if I can do this.' We just ran so much. I actually stopped for about two weeks."
When practices officially started, UC held walk-on tryouts. Sanders and Mukes both showed up.
"Coming in, I didn't really expect to play a lot," Sanders said. "I thought maybe I could play five or 10 minutes a game and just enjoy the experience. But as time went on, I started feeling more and more comfortable. I thought to myself, 'I could play a lot.' "
Huggins was beginning to assert himself as the Bearcats coach and certainly grabbed the attention of the players.
"He was a maniac," Sanders said. "The yelling and the screaming didn't bother me. I came from a football background, and that's all football coaches do is yell and scream. But it was something to go through, just the hard work. Practice was so intense for 3½ hours. He never let us cheat ourselves. I was in the best shape of my life playing basketball."
By the first game, the 6-foot-2 Sanders was in the starting backcourt with Andre Tate.
"The whole time leading up to the Minnesota game, he never let us think that we weren't good enough to win," Sanders said of Huggins. "We had an awful lot of confidence, which he gave us. And the coaching staff did a great job with the scouting report. Everything he said that they would do during the game, they did."
Sanders, who would average 7.0 points and 2.5 rebounds for the season, had four points all game. Until the very end.
In the final seconds, Kevin Lynch of Minnesota tried to save a ball from going out of bounds and throw it off the leg of UC's Keith Starks. He missed, and the ball bounced down the court and went out of bounds right under the UC basket. Eight-tenths of a second remained on the clock.
Huggins called a timeout. The first thing he said was, "You guys are going to win this basketball game."
The play designed called for Tate to inbound the ball and lob it toward the basket for either Starks, Levertis Robinson or Lou Banks, all great leapers. As the huddle broke, Huggins grabbed Sanders by the arm and said, "Steve, if they can't get it inside, you have to break around because Andre's going to throw you the ball."
Sure enough, Tate couldn't get the ball where he wanted. Sanders broke toward the ball, faked back, then went to the corner in front of the UC bench. Tate delivered a perfect pass. Sanders caught it and shot it, his first 3-point attempt of the night.
"It felt perfect," Sanders said. "It felt like I just placed the ball into the basket. It had to go in. I saw it and when it went in, I was so happy. There was so much energy flowing through my body I cannot explain. I jumped up and down and ran, and they chased me and caught me. They dived on top of me. They picked me and then I got down and ran across the court and up into the stands. Everybody was off the court but me. I'm still running around in the stands. Then I run down back through the court again. When I finally got in the locker room, I was so hyped and excited, I just had to go lay down on the floor in the shower. ... It was truly amazing."
It's now 2009. Sanders laughs when he gets the call for this story.
"When you say it's been 20 years, my first thought is, Wow, I'm getting old," he said laughing. "My second thought is, I always go back to a conversation I had with Coach Harrison right after the game. He told me I would go down in UC history, and I told him that in two weeks nobody would remember that shot. So here we are 20 years later and we're talking about it.
"What I see now is that it was the beginning of the resurgence of Cincinnati basketball. I know what it was before I played, and I see how it is now."
Sanders, whose daughter Brianna was a star at Princeton and now is on Ohio State's women's basketball team, remains in Cincinnati. He is a senior program director for the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati working at the Carl H. Lindner YMCA in the West End. He's worked with the YMCA for 17½ years, including stops at branches in Lincoln Heights and Madisonville.
"It just feels like it gives me a chance to give back to a community that's similar to where I grew up (in East Cleveland) - a lot of single-parent homes, families that are not as fortunate as they would like to be," Sanders said.
"We're in a $10 million state-of-the-art facility. The kids have a chance to feel good about where they're going and what we're doing for them. I just love what I am doing."

Update: Both Nexus 4 models are already sold out in the EU, less than an hour after going on sale. The Nexus 10 16GB remains available for sale at the time of writing. Google's been having some technical difficulties, as the Play Store grinds to a halt under the demand for orders. In addition, the 3G, 32GB Nexus 7 has also appeared for sale on Google Play today.
We're told to expect Google to begin taking U.S. orders around 9am PT.
