Pusher (aux) Fan runs with car off
Qsilver wrote in a post 5 reasons that your ECM makes the pusher (aux) fan run. He was the only one who clarified all possible problems that could cause an aux fan to run when it shouldn't. He also attached a great diagram along with his explanation. I tried PM'ing him but its been a couple days now and I need help to resolve this problem. Here is my story, my aux fan was running one morning when I woke up. Yes, the car had be sitting in my garage overnight and I heard the fan running at full speed and then stopped. Since, it runs when driving with the ac off and sometimes it runs long after the car has been shut off. I know that the fan could run up to minutes after the car has been turned off, but thats not my major problem. I haven't read anyone post on these forums with type of issue, 95% of aux fan problems is that they don't run. I replaced this pusher (aux) fan about a year ago, and yes I didn't buy the high dollar one, but the $150 unit. I regret that now. So, before I go replacing this damn thing again, I was wondering if someone could give me some troubleshooting tips to determine if its the aux fan or a sensor, switch, or ECM. I am electrician by trade and have troubleshot a lot. I do most repairs myself if all possible. I would appreciate any insight anyone has when the fan runs with the car off. 2003 530i engine M54
The fan responds to a pulsetrain signal from the engine computer. If you have a true RMS digital multimeter, you can pull the connector off when the fan is running, and measure the voltage at the lightweight wire. If zero, the controller on the fan is bad.
Edjack, to measure zero or a voltage I need a reference to ground. I see the green wire on the fan side which lines up with the black wire coming from the controller. Is the black wire a ground or neutral? Thanks,
Brown is ground,
... on all German machines, and is connected to the chassis.
Interesting problem. Next time you find it running with engine off, disconnect the temp sensor on the radiator outlet. If fan stops I'd clean connector if corroded and/or replace sensor. If you replace sensor be sure to get new oring. Can you measure the sensor's resistance hot and cold, and w/fan running and post?
1+ to pshovest,
The temp sensor in the lower rad hose is a common culprit.
About $25 item, it comes with new O-ring.
Unplugged the sensor (lower radiator hose) once before while the fan was running and the fan continued to run. Remember guys, in my first post, the damn fan was found running one morning parked in the garage after being parked the night before. And then it shut off by itself.
fan may briefly run after shut down if engine is very hot
We remember, but you haven't told us which of the (5) QSilver causes you've ruled out, so we've started from scratch.
When fan runs w/engine off, does it seem to be at max speed?
Why did you replace the fan the first time? Same issue?
Need to determine if DME is commadning fan to run or if fan controller has shorted/failed causing fan to run. Rad outlet temp sensor and AC high side pressure sensor control fan via DME, but usually not with ignition switch off....unless there is another problem keeping DME powered. You can disconnect AC sensor to rule this out
Edjack's test will determine if fan is OK or not, but wiring is tough to reach. It might be simpler to disconnect the control wire from DME to fan to rule out DME as cause.
I replaced the first fan because it burned up. I believe I ruled out the lower radiator sensor/switch because when the fan was running with the car off I unplugged it and the fan kept running. The fan varies in speed from time to time, which is the weird part.
my car is 2000 528

April Fool's Winter Storm Takes Aim at East Coast
It's snow joke: it appears the metropolitan area will escape the worst of the wintry mix headed toward the region.
The National Weather Service said rain will pick up Thursday night and turn to snow overnight, before changing back to rain on Friday morning.
Forecasters don't expect any accumulation from the mix. "It's mainly going to be, you know, a nuisance where you could see some snow mixed in with the rain," said meteorologist David Stark.
But areas north and west of the city won't be so lucky. Stark said Putnam and Orange counties are under a winter storm warning from midnight to noon on Friday, with "the potential for four to eight inches of snow, very heavy wet snow." He warned that the snow could make travel conditions dangerous in the morning.
The National Weather Service has also issued a winter storm advisory for Rockland County and northern Westchester, where between two and four inches of snow could accumulate.

Austin Injury Lawyer Justin McMinn Files Lawsuit in Wrongful Death of Odessa Man
The deceased, Roland Pearce, was driving a vehicle that was struck head-on by an out-of-control vehicle. He died 50 days after the accident.
AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) December 10, 2012
Justin McMinn, an attorney with the McMinn Law Firm, has filed a lawsuit in the wrongful death of Roland Pearce, a 62-year-old man whose car was struck head-on by an out-of-control vehicle.
The Austin injury lawyer filed the lawsuit on behalf of Pearce's sister in order to help pay for the medical bills incurred while undergoing multiple operations in efforts to save his life over the 50 days between the car accident and Pearce's death.
According to the complaint, case number D-134,549 in Ector County District Court, the defendant was driving a company pickup truck when he lost control of his vehicle, which then swerved across several lanes of traffic and crashed head-on with a vehicle driven by Pearce.
The petition alleges that the defendant operated his vehicle in an unsafe and improper manner by failing to keep a proper lookout and maintain proper control of his vehicle, driving too fast for the existing conditions and failing to reduce his speed and make timely application of his brakes.
"This case is a tragedy," McMinn said. "My client's brother fought for his life for 50 days before his injuries proved to be too much. The operations that doctors hoped would save his life have left my client with thousands of dollars in medical bills, and she's having to cope with losing an important person in her life. This pain could have been prevented."

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a role-playing video game developed by Snowblind Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. It is based on the events taking place in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the background of the main story of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, more specifically in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy universe. Players take control of a hero of the war, and are able to play through the game alone or co-operatively with other players.
The Mac OS X version was developed and published by Feral Interactive and released on September 18th 2013.[1]
The game features stronger graphic violence than previous Lord of the Rings games, and is the first Lord of the Rings game to receive an M rating from the ESRB.[4]
In a preview article in PlayStation Magazine, it was discussed that players will have skills that are upgradeable, characters that can be customized, and that conversations play out similarly to Mass Effect without the moral ramifications. Each character also has ranged attacks which they can use.
Farin (the dwarf champion) has a crossbow. Eradan (the human ranger) has a bow and Andriel (the female elf lore-master) can cast ranged spells at enemies. All characters also have light and heavy attacks and can roll, block and counter enemy attacks. Players can also issue orders to their AI companions if they are playing solo. There are also hubs in the game which function as points where the party may rest, accept new quests, speak to people and stock up on new supplies. Hubs are towns or villages.
Each class also has a unique ability. The dwarf for example can mine for gems which can be used for crafting purposes and he can also smash walls down where hidden treasure can be found. The game also features unlockable difficulty modes such as a nightmare difficulty. You can replay through the game and keep all your equipment and skills from the previous playthrough. Dialogue will normally present a few choices where the player can get just the facts, delve deeper into the lore or get optional side quests. The gameplay also relies upon the player working with friends (or with AI companions) to use tactics to defeat certain enemies.
LocationsEditMany locations that are not featured in the movies are in the game. Confirmed locations include the Ettenmoors, Fornost, Mirkwood and Mount Gundabad. Locations from the movies also appear in the game. Players can explore Bree and Rivendell and interact with the characters there which include Gandalf, Elrond, Frodo, Bilbo, Legolas, Arwen and Aragorn. Characters from the books can also be encountered to appear in the game, such as the Ranger Halbarad, Radagast, and Elrond's sons Elrohir and Elladan.
The War in The North features three playable protagonists. Each character has different classes from one another but each character's class is adaptable. You gain experience when killing enemies, and when you get enough experience, you gain a new level. You can then improve your stats (strength, will, stamina, dexterity), and use skill points to receive or upgrade special abilities. For example, Eradan is a Ranger and thus excels with the bow and sword but lacks the strength of Farin. He can be leveled up however to be an expert with two handed weapons, dual wielding, weapons and shields (tank) or the bow. Farin is an expert with melee weapons but can use ranged weapons and can be leveled up to use such. He can also be leveled up to be the tank or the damage dealer of the party. Andriel is a mage but she can wield two swords at once and level up in melee attacks, supportive magic or offensive magic.
- He is the most adaptable playable character and is adept at using any weapon. He can use a two handed sword, dual wield weapons, use a bow and a sword and shield. Eradan also has access to many stealth abilities which allow him to sneak up on enemies to attack them.
- Andriel is the Elven Loremaster class who has been taught by Elrond. She hails from Rivendell. She uses magic as her defense and offense but can dual wield a one handed weapon with her staff which she can also use to melee attack enemies with. Her abilities include offensive spells and supportive spells but she also has melee abilities and can be leveled up to be a battlemage" if the player wishes. She also has the ability to create potions from alchemy ingredients that the player may find.
- Farin is the Champion class, he hails from Erebor. He is best described as the warrior character but he can use a crossbow and simply focus on using it to attack enemies from afar. Out of all three characters, Farin is the most skilled in using melee weapons and he has many powerful abilities allowing him to attack multiple enemies at once. If you learn and improve the ability "War-Cry", he can be able to boost himself and his companions, as well as damaging enemies and reviving. He can also mine for gems.

His younger brother, the late Stevie Ray, may have more fame, bigger record sales and the kind of larger-than-life impact that ironically comes only with an early demise, but Jimmie Vaughan is just as important and influential a figure in the blues-rock scene that sprung up around the fertile musical garden of Austin, Texas, in the '70s and '80s. Los hermanos Vaughan do provide an interesting dichotomy in styles, though. While Stevie was all Hendrixian flash, fire and feathers, Jimmie's less-is-more approach left his clean, compact licks as neatly styled as his pompadour, his playing more akin to Lone Star State idols T-Bone Walker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Freddie King.
After playing in a number of Dallas garage bands in the late '60s (including the seminal Chessmen), Vaughan and singer/harpist Kim Wilson formed the blues-rock outfit The Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974. They knocked around for more than a decade before finally hitting it big nationally with "Tuff Enuff," "Wrap it Up" and "Powerful Stuff." But restlessness and disdain for that band's ever-slicker direction led to Jimmie's departure in 1990, forcing Wilson to replace him with not one but two guitarists while the Vaughan brothers collaborated on the underrated gem Family Style. A planned tour, however, was dashed by Stevie Ray's death in a helicopter crash just before the album's release.
Much guesting and a handful of solo records have followed, the most recent being 2001's Do You Get the Blues? (though a better introduction is last year's compilation, The Essential Jimmie Vaughan). Today, Jimmie Vaughan is a somewhat reluctant singer and frontman who stays well within his vocal limitations, and in concert would just as soon have the spotlight shine on backing band Bill Willis (Hammond organ, bass), George Rains (drums) and Billy Pitman (guitar). In fact, Willis' organ sometimes gets as much playing time as his boss's axe. Mixing a little R&B and rock into his blues, Jimmie Vaughan today stands in nobody's shadow.
Jimmie Vaughan plays Sunday, Sept. 19, at UM's University Theater, with Gary Clark. Doors open at 6:30 PM, show at 7:30. Tickets cost $25, available at all GrizTix outlets. Call 1-888-666-8262 for info.


text: Channel Five's Gadget Show turned its attention to all things iPhone and challenged its presenters Suzi Perry and Jason Bradbury to come up with some top, megatastic apps. Perry came up with a game called Biker Blast-Off! which was downloaded more than a million times and within four days was No 1 in the UK apps chart, according to the broadcaster. Nice work Suzi! Take the rest of the week off, why don't you. Bradbury came up with something called Social Beacon. The upside is it is a "unique and innovative social networking tool which enables you to create super quick status updates for the leading social networks". The downside is it doesn't feature a bike, or any blasting off. Better luck next time, JB.

Definitely going to keep up with this thread. My mom asked me the other night if I'd cut my hair, and that question forced me back to reality: breakage. I've been natural almost four years and my length retention was ok, not fantastic, but ok, but I've noticed a lot of breakage. I know most of it was due to my last semester in college, dealing with stress and all of that.
Definitely going to increase protein and find that balance between protein and moisture. Buy more coconut oil and go back to my simple regimen. I'm trying to make it to BSL curly in three years or less.
I also want to incorporate henna and indigo into my regimen because I want to dye my hair jet black.

Jessica Biel is like the kid in middle school who says,"do you think Jen likes me?" "Could you ask her?" "Could you tell her I think she's cute?"
In the new issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, Jessica Biel gushes about Jennifer Aniston and how much she loves Jennifer and wishes they could be friends. How about this quote.
"I understand being sexy, men love you, that's great. But what's really important is that women want to hang out with you. That's what I love about Jennifer Aniston – I watch her films and I think I love her. I really want to be her friend! I want to play those roles so women will think that about me too. It's about not taking yourself too seriously."
Uh huh. Now maybe she didn't mean that quote like I'm reading it, but it sounds to me like she would much rather hang out with women, wants them to want to love her and think about her, and just kind of puts up with guys because she has to. I guess guys think she's getting naked for them in her new movie, but really she's doing it for the ladies. She wants them to love her and be her friend and figures if she shows them what she's bringing to the table they will be more interested. I see the logic and am not offended as a guy if that is her real purpose. I just wish Portia de Rossi would discover the same logic.
Well if Jennifer Aniston is into chicks, I think she knows she got a sure thing here. It probably won't be as funny as John Cusack's sure thing, but I'm sure it would be a big seller if filmed.

Range Hood install opinion
I have ordered inset door kitchen cabinets, the cabinets are 13" deep. Range hood my wife has selected has standard dimension of 12" deep at the top of the hood and 22" at the opening. The cabinet and hood width is 30" and the hood is 7" tall.
If I flush mount the hood with cabinet front then I will need to put 1" filler that is 7" tall and 30" wide. If I do that I will have to deal with residue built up at the filler.
Second option is to install hood w/o filler so it is not flush mounted to the front of the cabinet, given the difference is only 1" it may not look that bad.
Does anyone have any experience with this and any pictures on similar setup?
These must be custom cabinets? Do you have the cabinets yet? I think the answer to your question cannot be answered until you install the cabinets and have a look at the fan in both positions. Putting a 1" filler in the back will not be a big deal. You may end up with gunk from the stove but just wipe it down once in a while when you clean the fan.
I'm curious what you decide to do.
Thanks. The cabinets are from Shiloh, they are semi-custom. Shiloh increased the depth of the cabinets to offset loss of depth due to inset door style. I do not have cabinets yet should be getting them by January end.
Just curious, did you order the cabinets 13" deep, or did they do that for you. Inset doors don't necessarily cause any loss of space in the cabinets. They end up being flush with the faceframe. Normally you don't put something in that sticks past the inside edge of the FF. I have never heard of anyone requesting a 13" depth for a wall cabinet. I have hung kitchens that use a combination of 12" and 15" deep cabinets to add more detail to the layout.
As far as the range hood, like Rss said, see what it looks like. Most hoods stick out anyway. It depends if they have a 12" flat on top. If you find one that doesn't have an angular change at the 12" mark, it may work without the filler.
Mike Hawkins:)
Shiloh had a special where they offered additional 1" deep upgrade free for ordering inset cabinets. All wall cabinets are 13" deep except in one area where my wife chose 15" deep cabinets.
Attached is the rangehood we are buying:
Thanks for writing back. I looked at your range hood. The top does break at 12", so just put your filler behind it and you should be fine. You could just cut a one inch filler and mount it at the bottom edge of the cabinet. I would take a 3/4" scrap piece (nice piece of scrap) and attach it to the filler to form an L shaped piece to make for easy mounting to the wall.
Mike Hawkins:)

Mixture distribution-based forecasting using stochastic volatility models
Clements, Adam E., Hurn, Stanley, & White, Scott I. (2006) Mixture distribution-based forecasting using stochastic volatility models. Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, 22(5-6), 547 -557.
Many traditional econometric methods forecast the conditional distribution of asset returns by a point prediction of volatility. Alternatively, forecasts of this distribution may be generated from a mixture of distributions. This paper proposes a method by which information extracted from the estimation of a standard stochastic volatility model (using non-linear filtering) can be used to generate mixture distribution forecasts. In general, it is found that forecasts based on mixture distributions are superior to those simply using point predictions of volatility. In terms of mixture distribution forecasts, the method proposed in this paper is found to be superior to a number of competing approaches.

City Sues Union Over 'Rubber Room' Agreement
The Bloomberg administration is suing the teachers union for failing to comply with an agreement intended to expedite cases involving teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence. The city claims the union has failed to uphold its end of the deal to expand the number of hearing officers from 20 to 39, thwarting the goal of the 2010 agreement.
But the union accuses the city of stalling the process. And arbitrators, who are appointed to hear the incompetence and misconduct cases, claim the reason the city can't get enough of them to work is because they have not been paid by the state.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the lawsuit on a radio show. "We are filing a lawsuit against the U.F.T. because they have yet again decided to put their interests above those of city children," he said during his weekly appearance on WOR's The John Gambling Show Friday morning.
Bloomberg claimed the union "keeps delaying" the process to approve new hearing officers while the backlog of cases keeps getting bigger.
"And it just prevents having a fair hearing for teachers who should be cleared of any charges, it allows teachers who should not be in front of our kids through incompetence or inappropriate conduct to continue collecting a paycheck," he said. "The public is paying for all of this. And year after year, we've really tried to come to an agreement."
The D.O.E. claims the backlog includes well over 400 cases -- not including 150 cases accrued so far this school year -- with employees waiting many months before their disciplinary cases can be heard.
Click here to see the full legal complaint.
The president of the teachers union, Michael Mulgrew, called the Bloomberg administration's lawsuit "typical."
"The administration mismanages the disciplinary process, and in its last days tries to blame someone else for it," Mulgrew said in a written statement. "It's a shame the Mayor is wasting public resources on this frivolous lawsuit, but we can all take comfort from the fact that Bloomberg will soon be only a bad memory to the people who care about schools."
But a former arbitrator who spent decades hearing these types of cases told WNYC the problem is all about money.
"This is an absolute smokescreen and [Bloomberg] knows it," said Arthur Riegel, an attorney who quit the panel in 2012. "The reason many of the very senior arbitators no longer do these cases is the state would not pay us based on the work that we had done."
Riegel was referring to a lawsuit against the state brought by arbitrators. He said he is still owed just short of $200,000 for cases he heard.
State law requires teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence to have a hearing within 60 days, but the delays became notoriously long over the last decade. Teachers sat in "rubber rooms" while they collected their paychecks and waited for their cases to be heard. The U.F.T. and the city were mutually embarrassed by the practice, and their 2010 agreement was intended to expedite the arbitration process by hiring more hearing officers. In addition, the city began sending teachers accused of misconduct to district offices where they could work instead of sitting and doing nothing each day in "rubber rooms" (often unused rooms and trailers).
But both parties needed to sign off on the appointment of the hearing officers, who are assigned to a rotational panel.
The city claims the two sides were able to seat 39 arbitrators that year. But they chose only 24 arbitrators in the 2011-2012 school year, and 20 the following year -- well short of the stated goal of 39.
By last count this month, there were only 18. The city said it sought to expedite the selection process beginning in July 2013, citing a pre-existing backlog and "the anemic pace at which selections had proceeded due to the U.F.T.'s intransigent delay."
Chancellor Dennis Walcott sent a letter earlier this month to Mulgrew, stating that the "current backlog of hearings needing assignment to an arbitrator far exceeds the number of cases that could be heard in a school year by 18 arbitrators." The D.O.E. proposed seating a total of 30 arbitrators.
But in a letter of response to the Chancellor dated September 20, Mulgrew said his union "stands by the commitments made in the April 2010 agreement." He, in turn, accused the city of dragging its feet.
"Unfortunately, it seems the D.O.E. is singularly focused on the number of arbitrators to the exclusion of all else, in an apparent effort to justify the swelled number of lawyers on the central DOE budget."
Mulgrew claimed the city abandoned the mediation process for producing the voluntary pretrial settlements, thereby eliminating the need for more extensive hearings.
He also claimed that contrary to the D.O.E.'s assertions, the misconduct panel is currently hearing cases that were charged just before the summer break and that the number of cases awaiting hearings is within the timelines provided by the union's agreement with the city.
"Instead of ultimatums and threats, it would be better for teachers, students, and taxpayers if we reestablished the mediation program and returned to the business of promptly selecting arbitrators."

Visually inspecting the capacitor is usually enough to see if it's bad, it has a convex shaped head on it where the electrical terminals are if this is out of shape its defective or if it's leaking oil.
On the fan, try to spin it , if ther ei sany resistance at all it is defective, other than that you would need a multimeter than can check microfarads up to at least 100,
It could very well be the defrost board, if it works when you push in contactor then its probably the board.
How can I verify that? Can I bypass with a jumper?

Jesuit High School Celebrates 50th Anniversary With Expansion
Jesuit High School is celebrating its 50th birthday this year and is prepping for another half century, with a big build out.
You may have already noticed some of the work that's under way on land across from Arden Hills.
"And you can see Jesuit High School from Fair Oaks for the first time because we've cleared more than 5 acres of land," Father David Suwalsky said.
Suwalsky is the president of the school and says on that site will sit a new chapel for mass and assemblies.
Further onto campus, work is under way renovating the stadium, runners can say goodbye to the dirt track. It's a $5 million project.
"We're about halfway there right now. We hope to get the other half by December," Suwalsky said.
Current students already received their anniversary gifts, the school is now using iPads for textbooks.

Morning Gold Market Report 9/05
Compiled 09/05/12 6:00 AM (CT)
Statistics: London Gold Fix $1,689.50 -7.50 LME Copper Stocks 215,150 tons -3,750 tons
GOLD MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CST) More disappointing data out of the US yesterday is supportive to the precious metals as is raises the likelihood of Fed easing, but some weaker Euro PMI data overnight lent support to the dollar and seemed to undercut some of the gold market's strength. As the week moves on, the markets will be focused on the ECB meeting Thursday and the US monthly jobs data on Friday. There is some anticipation that ECB will move a step closer to resolution if ECB President Draghi gets a bond-buying plan underway, but the trade also seems to be viewing the jobs report as the "main event."
Gold made a big upside move after Bernanake's comments last Friday seemed to leave the door open to a quantitative easing move, and a poor report this Friday could spark another move up. However, at some point the market will need action as well as words.
Speculator interest in the market is growing, with open interest on the gold futures reaching their highest level since early March. Holdings of a major gold ETF rose 3.6 tonnes to 1291.1 yesterday, the highest since March 20th when they stood at 1293.3.
Comex Gold Stocks were 10.924 million ounces down 37,936.
OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CST) Asian equity markets posted sizable losses during overnight trading, with the Nikkei down 1.09% and the Shanghai A Share Index down 0.29%. European stock markets are mixed this morning, with the UK FTSE-100 slightly lower while the German DAX is moderately higher. Euro-zone August PMI was revised down to 46.3 from the previous estimate of 46.6 and down from 46.50 in July.
US stock indices are generally lower while the Dollar is moderately higher this morning. Euro zone Retail Sales during July were down 0.2%, in line with market forecasts. US economic data this morning includes a reading on Productivity and Costs for the second quarter of 2012.

I have a 2007 Honda CBR 600RR up for sale. It is in immaculate condition. This bike is as close to brand new as they come. It has been very well maintained, and never laid over. It has 5800 easy miles on it; and it actually has less than that because the speedometer is 5mph off (which is typical in every bike). I run ams oil motorcycle synthetic in it to keep the engine in as nice of condition as the outside of the bike is. This has several aftermarket features that include:
No weld frame sliders, two brothers carbon fiber exhaust (sounds amazing), and flush mount front turn signals.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this bike. The pictures don't do it any justice. Must see in person to appreciate. The reason I am selling it is because I would like to put the money into other things and can't keep it around. Spring is here! And this bike will turn heads. Not to mention 45 MPG!! $6,200 Call or text Jake 316-303-6274

Annual Sagan Lecture
Extrasolar Planets - Paul Butler - Carnegie Institution
Presented as part of the American Geophysical Union's 2003 Fall Meeting
Friday, December 12th at 8:00 am
Moscone West Conference Center
Room 2002
4th and Mission Streets
San Francisco
None of the roughly one
hundred hundred extrasolar planets found to date closely resembles the Solar
System. Unlike the Solar System, most extrasolar planets are in eccentric
orbits. The giant planets in the Solar System all orbit beyond 5 AU, while the
known extrasolar planets (with one exception) all orbit within 4 AU, with
several in extraordinarily small orbits with periods of days to weeks. Current
state-of-the-art technology can only detect giant planets, with the most massive
planets being the easiest to detect. Nonetheless the planet mass function rises
toward lower masses down to the limit of detection incompleteness, below a
jupiter-mass. There are almost no planets more massive than 5 jupiter-masses
though these would be the easiest to detect. The planet bearing stars are
significantly enriched in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium relative to
both the Sun and nearby stars. NASA, the European Space Agency, NSF, and the
European Southern Observatory are all focused on "next generation"
planet detection technologies including giant ground-based 30 and 100 meter
telescopes capable of directly imaging giant planets, space-based
interferometers apable of detecting terrestrial-size planets in earth-like
orbits, and space-based telescopes capable of directly imaging earth-like
planets and taking their spectra. The first of these next generation instruments
should be operating by the end of the decade, with first results coming in
around 2015. The goal of our group is to survey all Sun-like stars out to 50
parsecs, a total of about 2,000 stars. At the time of this writing (September
2003) we are surveying 1,700 of these stars using the Lick 3-m (California),
Keck 10-m (Hawaii), 3.9-m AAT (Australia) and 6.5-m Magellan (Chile) telescopes.
Recent discoveries from our group include several systems of multiple planets,
the only known transit planet, and the first sub-saturn mass companions, as well
as two-thirds of all known extrasolar planets. Solar System analogs, Jupiter and
Saturn--like planets orbiting beyond 4 AU, have not yet been discovered. These
elusive planets will begin emerging from our existing surveys before the end of
this decade. By 2010 our surveys will provide a first planetary census of nearby
stars, allowing us to estimate the ubiquity of planetary systems and of
"Solar System" analogs, and thus put the Solar System in a Galatic
perspective for the first time.

Arizona Fall League
AFL: Hanson Drives In Run As Scottsdale Loses Season Finale
Arizona Fall League
On the last day of the Arizona Fall League regular season, the Scottsdale Scorpions dropped their seventh straight game, going down 3-2 to Salt River. They finished the season with a 10-21 record, worst in the AFL.
Three Pittsburgh Pirates players were in the starting lineup on Thursday. Alen Hanson was in the lead-off spot, with Alex Dickerson hitting fifth and in right field, while Gift Ngoepe was at second base and batting eighth. For the first five innings, they were going up against the Blue Jays' top prospect Aaron Sanchez, who has been perhaps the best pitcher in the AFL this season.
Leading off the game, Alen Hanson drew a six pitch walk. He was quickly erased on a double play. In his second at-bat, Hanson went down swinging. He came up in the fifth with two outs and a man o...

It's been almost a year since the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approved specifications for the next iteration of wireless data networks -- specs that would give speeds up to 10 times faster than they are now.
Called IMT-Advanced, the ITU claimed the new technology will give mobile device users maximum speeds of 1 gigabit per second and improve spectrum efficiency so as to enhance overall quality of service.
But when will those speeds actually make their way to everyday wireless users? Colin Langtry, chief of the radio communications study group for the ITU, said IMT-Advanced deployments will likely occur in the more advanced countries in the shorter term. "And in the longer term, perhaps 2015, you could expect a widespread deployment of that technology," he said, adding that establishing standards is one of the first steps before countries can begin implementing the technology, and it often takes a long time before adoption begins.
While real-world measurements of wireless technologies typically don't measure up, IMT-Advanced is purported by the ITU to be much closer to the speeds originally promised by 4G technology. With speeds 100 times faster than what current 3G devices can achieve, IMT-Advanced will be like plugging a fiber-optic cable into a mobile phone, said François Rancy, director of ITU's Radiocommunication Bureau.
Other experts, however, have said that the fastest iterations of IMT-Advanced will reach only 15 megabits per second in the real world. Though that is faster than the 12 megabits per second currently offered by 4G services, it is not the huge leap the ITU claims.
One strength of the new standard, Langtry said, is that it's interoperable and backward-compatible with current 4G technologies. Two versions of the IMT-Advanced standard were created -- LTE-Advanced for piggybacking on carriers that use 4G LTE and WirelessMAN-Advanced for those who have adopted WiMax. "There is continuity," Langtry said. "It's not disruptive introduction of a new technology."
With billions of mobile devices drawing data from cell towers around the world, the need for mobile bandwidth remains strong, but it is conceivable that technology could eventually outpace the need of individuals to request data. However, Langtry pointed out, there is a trend toward machine-to-machine data transactions that will necessitate increased mobile bandwidth over the next five to 10 years. With the advent of smart cities and smart grids, more bandwidth will be needed for automated mobile applications.
In part to meet increased demand for wireless data transfers, the ITU will meet for the World Radio Conference in 2015 to re-establish international wireless spectrum usage. Though planning is still in an early stage, an agenda of proposed conference topics can be viewed online.
Looking even further into the future, the University of Surrey in the UK announced in October a $56 million research program to begin study on 5G wireless technology. The funding, which came from government grants and private companies such as Huawei, Samsung, Telefonica Europe, Fujitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde-Schwarz and AIRCOM International, will be used to develop a specialized research center for developing 5G technology in Europe.

DeMartini to manage PR for CigarettePosted on Written by Michael LaBella
Marilyn DeMartini announced that her agency, PR Power, will represent Cigarette Racing Team, handling press and public relations for the South Florida-based builder of custom performance powerboats.
DeMartini previously worked with Cigarette for five years.
"We have always had a great relationship," said Skip Braver, president and CEO of Cigarette Racing Team, in a statement. "Marilyn and her team understand Cigarette and its unique position in this industry. As she has grown her agency, she is in an even better position to take on the challenges of this market."
PR Power is a Fort Lauderdale-based firm that grew from DeMartini's freelance writing and public relations business. Though many of her clients remain marine-based, she has diversified into other businesses.
"Our goal is to spread the word about Cigarette's continued success and innovation in the industry," said DeMartini, in a statement. "These are tough times in the marine industry as well as other business, but Cigarette will rise above it because it is strong and smartly managed."

I was a bit shocked earlier this week to see how long ago it was since my last submission on here.
The school year is over already and time did fly. I still love my studies and now I'm waiting to get my end-results.
So summer (if we can call this dreary weather in Belgium summer) has started and I am becoming increasingly lazy.
I'm catching up on reading and I'm watching a lot of series and movies (I still have to catch up on Merlin (I knoooooow) and Game of Thrones).
So those things are keeping me busy.
What has changed this year is that I started following drawing classes in week-ends which meant that I usually got a
solid eight hours of drawing every week!
I learned a great deal even though I don't think I have improved that much. I basically got to work with a lot
more and different materials which has been great.
The drawing classes have been a lot of fun and I think I will submit some of the stuff that I drew there and like.
I basically have not drawn fanart in a year! A whole year of no fanart! And the doodling I did in class has decreased a lot too...
But I do think the stuff that I will submit the coming week is substantial. The only problem is that I don't have a proper scanner
(not big enough) and my camera is the worst. I will have to make due though.
I hope you're all well (if anyone is reading this) and that you'll have a lovely summer!

Asked on NFL AM about the departure of veteran receiver Steve Smith, Williams said he hated to see Smith go, but it went beyond just that. Williams said that he doesn't know what the front office is thinking at the receiver position. "We lost them all," Williams said of the Panthers' receivers. "That was tough, man. I played with Steve for eight years, and I know the chip he has on his shoulder, and he's a playmaker. I couldn't believe that we made those moves. Like, I'm still in shock. Not only did we lose him, but Ted Ginn Jr., Brandon LaFell, and [Domenik] Hixon." Asked if he feels that losing receivers puts more pressure on the running backs, Williams answered, "No, it puts more pressure on our front office because you make these moves, getting rid of four receivers, you've got to bring in guys." So far, the guys the Panthers have brought in are Jerricho Cotchery, Jason Avant and Tiquan Underwood. Williams was careful not to criticize his new teammates, but he clearly isn't convinced that the Panthers can be as good in the passing game this year as they were last year. In that skepticism of the Panthers' receiving corps, Williams is far from alone. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/10/deangelo-williams-couldnt-believe-the-panthers-lost-all-their-receivers/ We can't be as good as the 28th offense in the league D-Will?

Market Eye Weekend: Can Indian government deliver?
USD/INR likely to take cues from moves in the euro as well as the global risk environment. Pair is seen trading in a 54.50-56 range.
USD/INR likely to take cues from moves in the euro as well as the global risk environment. Pair is seen trading in a 54.50-56 range.
Dealers say any move by the government to push reforms after presidential election results on Sunday would be positive for both bonds and the rupee. Markets are expecting a hike in diesel prices to curb the government's subsidy burden, as well a move to allow foreign players into multi-brand retail and aviation.
These measures would help ease concerns about India's fiscal deficit. Fiscal reforms could also be key for interest rates, given the Reserve Bank of India has been urging the government to lower its fiscal deficit to enable better monetary policy transmission. However, few analysts expect the RBI to cut the repo rate at its July 31 policy review after RBI chief Duvvuri Subbarao warned about inflation.
Indian federal bonds are expected to remain supported, with liquidity seen comfortable. The cash deficit is expected in Rs 50,000-70,000 crore range over the next two weeks. The benchmark 8.15% 2022 bond is expected to trade in a 8-8.15% range. India will sell Rs 15,000 crore of bonds next week.

While we're all looking forward to what the new year may bring, the last days of 2003 are also a good time for looking back on what we've seen and heard and experienced. So here you have it, the top 10 arts and cultural events of the past year, as chosen by the critics of The Chronicle..
-- Def Jam Vendetta (Electronic Arts): This rapper-themed wrestling game by EA of Redwood City was edgy and fun, easy to play but hard to master, had a clever story line and was fueled by enthusiastic contributions from rap stars such as Method Man and Redman.
Latest entertainment videos
Karaoke Revolution (Konami): Konami keeps finding new things to do with video games, including this real-life "American Idol" experience.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (LucasArts): This turn-based game played like one of those old Choose Your Own Adventure books, and had a better story line than any "Star Wars" film. '
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (Sega): While Soul Caliber II was getting all the attention, the best fighting game on the market quietly came out at half the cost.
ESPN Basketball 2k4 (Sega): Visual Concepts in San Rafael did the impossible, capturing everything from Shaq's tattoos to the haunting attractiveness of Warriors coach Eric Musselman's eyes in the most realistic basketball game ever.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Nintendo): Video game veteran Zelda got a bold, cartoonish makeover, but the controversy died when the game emerged as one of the best Nintendo titles ever.
Winning Eleven 6 Soccer (Konami): Winning Eleven has a wacky name and spare 1990s graphics (if Russia had stayed communist, this is what all its government-issue video games would look like), but produced unprecedented sports game play.
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (Sony): This game falls somewhere between Sonic the Hedgehog and Grand Theft Auto, following a cute little cartoon fur ball with enough firepower to sink an aircraft carrier.
Secret Weapons Over Normandy (LucasArts): This World War II flying game was the best of three excellent Wookiee-free titles (Gladius and Armed & Dangerous were the other two) from LucasArts of San Rafael.
NCAA Football 2004 (Electronic Arts): The best football game of the year didn't have Michael Vick or Warren Sapp on the cover -- college football makes for a better video game, and NCAA Football 2004 failed to disappoint.

No! The police did not arrest Jared Schmitz after Corey told them he had bought drugs from him, they got arrested together after someone else called in. Nice spin you've put on this article! And thanks again for putting our family in jeopardy! Why don't you just draw a map to our house and make it easier for for them to find him/us? Because as it turns out, no one likes a snitch. People have gotten killed for less...much less!
And don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning any of my boys actions. But my son is struggling with an addiction, a bad one! And It breaks my heart everyday to know that he is so lost. And then for you be so careless as to what you publish, and the affects it could have, it's beyond me.
#2 Oct 25, 2010
I have personal knowledge of Cory and he is a lieing, thief and a snitch..long standing drug user who will do anything to score..he turns on his friends and steals for their parents...shoot he even steals from his own father and uncles little weed farm and then blames his own friends...he squeals that others are drug sellers tryin to cover his own ass while he knows hes lieing thru his teeth...oh yes cory your own friends tell all "the truth" and his parent dont even make good on their promises...so people and friends of his especially if he can burn u he will and then when h does u dirty he will lie to the cops to try to save his ass...oh and to mommy and daddy to, who know full well hes a junkie..so with friends like him u dont need no enemy
#3 Oct 25, 2010
and by the way coreys mommy...ur boy tried killing my son driving recklessly try to dump him out then lie about it...then to cover his thieving ass lie that my son a drug seller
#4 Oct 25, 2010
Ha ha ha! Thanks for the laugh!
#5 Oct 25, 2010
#6 Oct 26, 2010
well it certainly shows were ur son gets his attitude from...as for your sons having a drug addiction , i can relate ,my foster son got addicted to the same drug oc but i didnt go to the street to buy a substitute for him...it dosent give corey the right to steal...tell lies so others are placed in harm and there things getting destroyed because corey says that they are drug dealers ...thank god that was proven false an out right lie, and the police became aware exactly what they were dealing with...a little boy with no priorities or moral. in turn a junkie..to top it off ask ur son about his truck accident..we are still consider charging with attempted murder so enjoy your laugh, i just find it really really sad..
#7 Oct 26, 2010
Listen up.. whomever you are, let's just call you "Dawn" for arguments sake. The reason why I laugh at you is because for 1. Corey doesn't have a dad. 2. Coreys uncle doesn't have weed to steal. And 3. You are clearly an idiot who has nothing better to do with your time. So therefor I no longer wish to read or respond to any of your nonsense. Good day!
#8 Nov 8, 2010
although the story above may not be all true it has its truth and i was a victom of theft from cory and learned quick how bad the drugs can change people and effect whole familys related or not related it may be parenting well ill just stop their
#9 Dec 7, 2010
Well, I certainly don't condone my sons actions. What he got himself into at one point in his life was terrible, and who he became because of it was even worse. However the whole point I was trying to make here, was that the paper should have been more responsible as to what they print.
#10 Jun 10, 2011
Stay strong dear!
#11 Jul 2, 2011
look at all this mess, just let him do as much dope as he can all at once. its quite simple just let them OD the ones who will, are like this fella who dont care about them selves much less anyone else.
karma has a way of coming around so i dont have much else to say outside of i hate my generation.

FitBit Ultra [UK] Unboxing and Lightning Review
My FitBit finally came today! So like any good nerd, here's a quick unboxing photoset:
So how is it to use? Couldn't be more straightforward – I just dropped it into my pocket after setup! It really couldn't be simpler; you move around and it tracks it. When you stop, and are within range of the dock, it syncs your data to the FitBit dashboard.
The great thing is it has a positive mental effect: you know you're tracking your activity, so you're naturally inclined to make yourself more active; you get badges/awards for reaching certain milestones – 10 flights of stairs, 5000 steps, etc. I did find myself thinking of more ways I could 'level up' as it were. I was probably helped by the fact I was working from home, which gave me more freedom to (for example) go for a walk at lunchtime, and take a few more breaks where I could just walk around the house, but in theory I might be able to manage similar behaviour at the office.
One part of the logging app (web or iPhone) which sucks is the food logging – essentially a food diary/calorie counter so you can offset your activity with what you're consuming. The food database was pretty pathetic, and entirely US-oriented, and new foods can only be added through the website. There is hope though. The FitBit website lists integration with MyFitnessPal as "coming soon". This is good, as the MyFitnessPal iPhone app is the best food diary app I've tried. Hopefully "coming soon" really is soon, because I'd like to track my intake, but the FitBit tracker is useless IMO.
I haven't had a chance to test out the sleep tracking functionality yet, but will report back when I have.
In summary: the FitBit is amazingly simple to use, and likely to have a positive effect on my goals. The food logging sucks, but third-party integration promises to take care of that. Rating: out of 5.

Starting the Year
Ah, it's the start of a New Year. Outside the street cleaners are sweeping away the mess made celebrating the end of 2011. Inside are millions of people nursing hangovers, celebrating, and making resolutions (usually involving not drinking again!).
I already outlined a few goals I have for 2012, and I'm a firm believer in 'start as you mean to go on' and 'measurable performance', so I'm laying down markers on a couple of these goals already so progress can be measured.
Weight Loss
For as long as I can remember I've struggled with my weight. I'm under no illusion I am in an unhealthy place right now. I'm currently 18st 12lb/264lb/120kg. While this is well down from the peak of 22st/308lb/140kg I was in August, I need to keep this going.

Defoe scored in Monday's 3-0 friendly win against Platinum Stars.
"I don't know if I've done enough," said Defoe. "That's up to the manager.
"As a forward, scoring goals is the job you've got to do. If you can't do that, then you've got to work hard and look sharp. I've felt sharp in training, and from the training camp in Austria.
"I've always said you've just got to go out there, work hard and do your best and then leave it down to the manager.
"But, to be honest, it's all about the squad. In a major tournament, you need a squad, not just the lads who will start the game.
"It's important that even the lads who come on make a difference. You need that in a major tournament."

- - Brutus ate raw onion-should I be worried? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/466409-brutus-ate-raw-onion-should-i-worried.html)
Brutus ate raw onion-should I be worried?
Today when I was preparing dinner about 2-3 ounces of raw onion fell off the cutting board. Brutus who is on a steroid and will eat ANYTHING ate the onion off the floor before I could stop him. I have heard this is toxic for dogs. Should I be worried?
call your vet to ask
onion toxicity works on red blood cells and may not have an obvious effect until it is too late to do anything
but its all dose dependent
your vet could answer those questions
Agree with MBD.I would call the vet.
Shiggs ate raw onion once right out of the garbage (after hours emergency vet is who we called) she is fine, but shiggs is shiggs and she came from the hard streets of quebec so i am gonna go out on a limb and say she has eaten many of things that were iffy and has survived. Call the vet! thats what i would do.
The vets office is closed today. I don't know if I should give him something to induce vomiting or if he'd be fine if I just let him be. I have been looking on the internet and many people say their dog has eaten onions without any problem. Others say this is an urgent matter. I'm not sure what to do.
Deadly Levels
In general, dogs will experience onion toxicity if they eat 0.5 percent of their body weight in onions, according to "Veterinary Technician" magazine. So a 50-pound dog will experience onion toxicity after eating 0.25 pounds or 4 ounces of onion. If you know your dog ate onions, contact your nearest emergency vet to begin treatment as soon as possible. For a two-hour window after your pup eats onions, the vet can induce vomiting to expel onions from his system. Afterward, the pet needs veterinary care and red blood cell monitoring. Treatment may require a blood transfusion to help restore your pet's red blood cells to health.
Can you call an evet?
Oh ya then he is good.

Steeda SRI on 2.3L ST
I know there has been some recent threads about this intake and as a happy customer of this product I figured I would post up some vids that help you hear it in action.
I made this particular video clip to let people hear how the Steeda sounds on a 2.3L.... I have no other mods than the Intake so if you are just starting to mod your car and want to hear how it sounds, here you go!
1st vid is a slow roll to 20mph in 1st and then floored it at 4k and granny shifted into second.
Of course it sounds alot deeper in person... maybe if you have a sub you can hear some of what I'm talking about... of course viewing in HQ helps as well...
Quick launch thru 1st...
rolled up to 20mph in 1st and then floored it at 4k and granny shifted into second.
Couple rev's letting you hear the intake with the hood open.
Hope that helps somebody in their quest for an intake for their 2.0L/2.3L duratec.
Does steeda offer a cold air intake for the 2.3? I just bought a 2006 ST and want to put an intake on, not sure if i want a cold air or short ram. Also which is better K&N or steeda?
What else you got for mod's? Your hitting 7k RPM on just a intake?
Technically, it's a Short Ram Intake (it doesn't scope down a couple feet like a CAI). And I JUST did the same mod to my ST and I was thinking to myself how very little it altered the sound of the car. I guess that's good, because I KNOW that the header I plan on getting, even coupled with a stealth exhaust, is gonna make the car louder, lol.
Nice launch squealie, BTW. I'm guessing you don't have a sport tire, though, or else it would probably hook up a little sooner. My car was sold to me with some BFG something or others. They were low profile and man, did they hook up nicely and held corners really well. But I had to ditch 'em with about 50% treadlife when I found out how they struggled in bad weather. Now I run Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S (supposedly a high performance A/S) in the warm weather. They're great in the bad weather, but they don't hook up as quickly as the BFGs did, that's for sure.
Off topic... but it took almost 2 years for someone to finally reply to this thread.
