In the wake of the unthinkable tragedy in Newtown, Conn., protecting our kids against gun violence has become the nation's number one priority.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama launched an interagency task force, headed by Vice President Joe Biden, to create reforms to stop the "gun violence epidemic" in the United States.
California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer is proposing legislation that would allow governors to access federal funds and utilize National Guard troops in an effort to increase school security.
But while Washington gears up to debate gun control, states and local governments aren't wasting any time after the horrors at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
More: Newtown, Connecticut's School Shooting—and the Lesson We May Never Learn
In Tennessee, for example, Republican state Sen. Frank Niceley will introduce legislation in January that would require every school to have an armed staff member. These staffers may not necessarily be teachers, but rather "resource officers" that most Tennessee schools already staff.
Minnesota Republican state Rep. Tony Cornish has gone a step further. He told Minnesota media, "Even an armed security or an armed cop doesn't do a lot of good if they get by him or her. Then they've got all these classrooms that they can go to. So, I think the best defense is a teacher."
Legislators in Oklahoma, Nevada, and Virginia are on the same page as Cornish. They are even suggesting that custodial workers be armed.
Steve Lee, security expert and the managing director of Steve Lee & Associates, a global intelligence firm that works closely with both the private and public sectors, says that teachers must be prepared for the world they now live in.
"There is merit in providing at least a modicum of 'active shooter' and other security-related training for teachers so that in a lethal event they are not inventing an ad hoc incident response," Lee says.
He says that teachers in the 21st century should be trained in the "use of lethal force and not only authorized, but also duty bound to protect those in their charge."
Since last week, the sale of backpacks lined with "carbon nanotube armor" has increased, according to a story in Mother Jones. Such backpacks can cost upwards of $300. Parents are also considering making their children wear bullet-proof body armor.
Such extreme measures may not solve the root problem. The solution, some experts say, is much simpler.
"I understand where people are coming from, especially after the Sandy Hook tragedy, but we have to be realistic," says Dr. Kathy Seifert, a psychologist, youth violence and family trauma expert. "Teachers and students need protection, but it's a scary idea to think of all school teachers having guns while working."
She agrees that it is wise to have a police presence in all schools, but that schools also must offer mental health services to catch "red flags" and early warning signs of violent behavior. Then, the schools should provide treatment to at-risk individuals to prevent violence.
Seifert says this may seem costly, but it saves money in the long run.
"But truthfully, you either pay up front by offering prevention services, or you pay later on with the cost of jail, court and legal expenses, violence, and sometimes the ultimate cost: the loss of innocent human life," she says. "As a country, we must get smarter about how we allocate our time and budgets. By focusing on violence prevention, we can create a better, safer, and happier environment for everyone."

You replaced both the hose and check valve and still had the issue? Have you pulled off the connector for that hose at the front of the engine and tested the air pump that way? I think a while back someone ran power straight to the pump to test it (look through some threads about the air pump); I can look up the wiring diagram if you need it. Just because the pump is buzzing doesn't necessarily mean it's actually pumping anything, and maybe the bank 2 side check valve just isn't as stiff or something (i.e. easier to push air through and so is not faulting).
I will unplug the connector and test the pump tmrw. I have not tried that. I had someone replace the passenger side valve cover. So i was wondering if they put the wrong one on, because there should be that pressure regulating vavle right next to the oil cap,(as you can see in the pic from real oem) but my car doesnt have one (as you can see in the pics up there). So im just trying to see if other 2004 bmw 745li's have that, or if it looks like mine, because i would think without that pressure regulating valve, it is unable to regulate ccv pressure in the head on the left(passenger side)?

Trent Reznor to Australia - Steal My Music
Following his radical statements in China, Trent Reznor returned to his old label-stomping ground in Sydney and volleyed one of the most defiant verbal assaults on a label by a major label artist ever recorded on video. Reznor's attack dwarfs past anti-label rants by Prince and George Michael.
(Audio transcript)
"Lots and lots and lots of familiar faces..Is there anybody here tonight that wasn't at Luna Park last night?
I talked a lot last night; tonight I'm not talking so much. I know, I know…
I woke up this morning and I forgot where I was for a minute.
I remember last time I was here, I was doing a lot of complaining about the ridiculous prices of CDs down here. And the story got picked up and got carried all around the world and now my record label all around the world hates me because I yelled back at them - called them out for being greedy fucking assholes
I didn't get the chance to check – has the price come down at all?
[Crowd yells "NO"]
I see a no, a no, a no, a no…anybody…has anyone seen the price come down?
[Crowd yells "NO" again]
Okay, well, you know what that means - STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin'. Because one way or another, these motherfuckers will get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right.
Bet we didn't make any friends by saying that"
On the contrary, Trent Reznor has made an incredible number of friends all over the world with his empathy - and his radical stance is swelling the ranks of his existing legion of fans.
While there have been a few contrarian comments about Reznor's recent pro-fan statements with the main criticism being that he's already a big star and can afford to encourage people to download his music for free, it has to be realized that there are many big stars out there who are simply living off the fat of the land, doing nothing to defend fans from labels that demand extortionate prices for legitimate copies of music.
Reznor's public criticisms of Universal's pricing policies have drawn attention to the fact that it is not just fans who are frustrated by big labels: many artists have been getting a raw deal too with the lack of control over pricing, marketing or distribution of their work, high cover prices and 'new media' sales that translate into tiny royalty payments. In Reznor's own words in reaction to the overpriced CDs in Australia in May he said:
"That money's not going into my pocket, I can promise you that. It's just these guys who have f—ed themselves out of a job essentially, that now take it out on ripping off the public"
If fans are being ripped off and musicians are unhappy, why should anyone support major labels?
Until now, a multitude of faceless John Doe file-sharers has been hiding anonymously behind torrents, like worker bees moving billions of music files around the globe. This faceless swarm now has a rallying cry and a focal point with a sting in its tail– and his name is Trent Reznor.
What we are witnessing now is an all-out war, unprecedented in retail history: consumers feel that it is their right to give major labels a taste of their own medicine, and that it is morally justified to pay them back for years of rip-offs. In turn, in an attempt to preserve their profit margins, some labels have used the moral platform that downloading hurts artists most, but Reznor has now demolished that argument by making it possible for fans to download his music and for them to claim with some credibility that they support musicians, but not support unethical labels. This mass-scale justification of free downloading by erstwhile law-abiding customers perpetuates and accentuates the global tidal wave: a social phenomenon that the RIAA and IFPI will not be able to stop by brow-beating consumers or threatening them with legal action. Many consumers already feel that the rhetoric of groups such as the RIAA and the MPAA represents little more than an attempt by established interest groups to defend their ability to extort unfair prices from music-lovers.
Reznor's exhortation to 'steal and steal' could well be straight from the script of a Wild West movie - and in keeping with that theme, the land-grabbing now taking place in the world of digital distribution will probably have to get worse before it gets better.
Many struggling musicians and smaller labels will inevitably fall victims to the changing landscape of the digital music world, while channels like YouTube, MySpace, last.fm and Baidu in China hide behind and capitalize on safe harbor provisions and grow rich in the same nebulous environment. The Wild West was indeed an unfair, bloody and cruel place – but one famous for the opportunities it represented juxtaposed with the danger and hardship that faced those who ventured there.
The consumer backlash now taking place is part of a broader seismic shift in the copyright landscape that underpins the music industry. Copyright laws were conceived in a world of tangible products where it was easy to accept that taking a physical product that's not yours is wrong. This legal framework is struggling to deal with the challenges presented by the digital domain.
Digitization and the internet have made copying and sharing music faster, cheaper and easier than ever before. The distribution of music in a digital world does not rely on physical copies and many file-sharers justify their actions by noting that copying someone else's music does not deprive the original owner of their copy. The first sale doctrine in the United States allows CDs to be given or sold second-hand without royalty payment to the copyright owner. Savvy file-traders have noted that the moral and legal landscape relating to digital sharing of content is far from black and white. The US Copyright Office has counseled a 'wait and see' approach in relation to whether the first sale doctrine should be applied to digital products such as music. It is very likely that this 'wait and see' position will be resolved one day when enough 'blood' has been spilt in courts in legal battles and subsequent precedents and rulings evolve. And in the meantime, we will all have to be guided by our wits, interpreting events and pronouncements for ourselves in the absence of absolute legal or moral guidelines.
John Perry Barlow, former lyricist for the Grateful Dead, addressed this in his famous manifesto 'Selling Wine Without Bottles: The Economy of Mind on the Global Net' by describing this digital conundrum as 'a profoundly new kind of challenge' – one that straddles complex distribution, legal, moral, and cultural issues that old laws and business models will not be able to overcome.
And in this vacuum, Trent Reznor's perverse rallying call to fans to steal his own music should be seen as a riposte to major labels' self-preservation and fan-exploitation actions and not a permanent solution. Indeed, Reznor himself will be doing his part in building an online community for his fans with access to his music at fair prices, once he himself has finished serving his sentence with his label.

International students and
professionals from different countries and various areas of expertise
gathered in Como Italy for Information and Communication Technology
for Development International School (ICT4DEVIS). The international
school has evolved into a community dedicated to foster the use of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to achieve sustainable
The first edition of ICT4DEVIS, which
took place from 3 7 September 2012, was a collaborative effort of
Fondazione Rosselli Americas (USA), Università dellInsubria
(Italy), and Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil). ICT4DEVIS aimed to
be a bridge between core academic and actual practice in deploying
ICT as means for development (ICT4D).
ICT4D implies facilitating developing
countries with the necessary ICT system or tool to improve their
lives. One of the challenges is different characteristic of
developing countries that requires different approach and context in
achieving sustainable development. We want to give the students
the ability to understand the context and build a solution
well-tailored for that context said Professor Walter Castelnovo
from Università dellInsubria.
The school addressed the issue through
three pillars of technology, socio-cultural, and ICT4D project
management. Moreover, students of ICT4DEVIS got the chance to be
linked to international organization operating in area of
development, such as Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation and
Inter-American Development Banks. The on-site lectures of ICT4DEVIS
were followed by remote video lectures and assessment completed at
the end of September 2012. The second edition of ICT4DEVIS will be
held next year in Sao Paolo Brazil.

Pirates Plan to Talk to Clint Hurdle
The Pirates plan to talk to Clint Hurdle.
It's been almost three weeks since the Pittsburgh Pirates have interviewed anyone for their vacant manager position, leading to speculation that they could be waiting for a candidate who is in the playoffs. No news came out when the Phillies and Yankees were eliminated, which focused that speculation on the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers.
Today we learned that the Pirates plan to talk to Clint Hurdle about their vacant manager position. Hurdle was the manager of the Colorado Rockies from 2002 to May 30, 2009, compiling a 534-625 record. He was replaced by former Pirates' manager Jim Tracy in 2009 after the Rockies started with an 18-28 record.
The Pirates currently have three candidates remaining who have interviewed: Jeff B...

After finding a resource for constellations in your area (a book or website?), make a book out of these maps. ∑hat an awesome way to spend a summer's night...finding constellations in the sky!
You can save a step and use dark paper, or you can paint a beautiful nighttime sky on a piece of heavy paper. We chose to paint!
While the paint was drying, the children looked through our constellations book to find one they knew, or one they were interested in learning about. We read the story, and set to work.
First they decided which stars should be represented by larger stars, and which by smaller. (Easier to map them that way, you know!) They drew small and larger circles for the stars with chalk. Chalk works well, because it's easy to erase on the paint if you make a mistake. And since we were going to be looking for constellations with these pictures, we wanted them to be accurate.
After the stars were drawn we drew lines between them, showing the constellation shape. Sometimes, during this processs, they needed help to get the direction and dimensions right. Map-making is a very precise craft!

Bitumen cracking ?
One more question for y'all--
I've decided to have a bitumen (torch down) roof installed over the two porches.
I need to level the house (pier and beam) at some point, but $$$ :( . I must fix the roof leaks immediatly however.
Question-- Once the new roofing is in place, will leveling the house (6in or so upward on that part) cause the new bitumen surfaces to crack ? If not, how long a time to I have to safely level the house w/o damaging the roofing ?
As always-- thanks !!
Will probably damage the new roofing. Modified bitumen is generally an easy repair for an experienced torch roofer.

I doubt that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are up to buying a new house together so selling their $4M home they purchased together a few years ago is just one of the steps needed in the divorce process. My guess is they are settling every possible thing in advance so there is no negative press and Khloe is free to just blast Lamar every chance she gest on her way to a spin off series which will involve her trying to find a new guy to date but ultimately she ends up with The Game who used to be a "friend" but now she wants more. During the series Khloe will discover The Game has about twenty other girlfriends but won't listen to anyone and will pour her heart out to Kris Jenner/TMZ and tell the world how much he loves him while negotiating a nice hefty payout behind the scenes.
Khloe and Lamar hoped they could sell their house privately but now that it is out there I wonder what their story will be. Maybe there won't be a story because the show ends this weekend and during Thanksgiving Khloe will announce the divorce. Oh and happy 34th birthday Lamar who celebrated alone.

Da Vinci's 3D Code...Broken!
Mona Lisas side-by-side from the Louvre and Prado Museums - Getty Images
Like a classic ViewMaster toy, Leonardo da Vinci may have created his Mona Lisa in 3D.
German researchers studying the original in the Louvre and a copy in Spain say the two images are from a slightly different perspective - so that da Vinci was playing with 3D. As evidence, they say that two Monas were observed from a point 2.7 inches apart - about the distance between your eyes.
They say the two images can be combined as a stereoscopic image with real depth. In other words, Leonardo made the first 3D image.
Here's a link to more on the story.

Worlds largest doomsday shelter can hold 1500 RVs
+ http://youtu.be/PmG0yFvQo9Y]World's ...nsas - YouTube" title="View this video at YouTube in a new window or tab" target="_blank">YouTube Video
ATCHISON, KS If the end of the world comes you might be overcome with the sinking feeling that youre not in Kansas anymore. Thats because you might be under it!
There could soon be a place many of us can call home, if the undead finally take over, a giant space rock is falling toward earth us or the some idiot pushes the big red button.
An underground cave, nestled far below the Sunflower State, once used as a limestone mine and a U.S. Army storage facility, will soon become the worlds largest doomsday bunker.
California company Vivos is turning more than 2 million square feet of cave into an end of days retreat.
Sounding less like a survival shelter, and more like an apocalyptic resort, the future cave complex will be able to accommodate 5,000 people living in up to 15,000 recreational vehicles. Doomsdayers will buy able to buy a spot and pay $1000 per foot for their RV unit. A charge of $1500 per person would supply the prepper with a years worth of provided food and potty privileges.
While all hell breaks loose on the surface of our miserable planet, members of the mine will be able to enjoy an underground bowling alley, swimming pool and indoor golfing.
The bunker doors will swing open in August of 2014. Better sign up before your chances of surviving the apocalypse are blown!

Mold behind cabinets, no drywall above
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping someone has some advice about the pickle we're in.
On the Friday before labor day our upstairs neighbor's water heater burst and caused extensive damage to our ceiling. Our insurance and contractor both thought that replacing the visible drywall on the ceiling would do it. In the process of repairs, we decided to have the contractor just remove the drywall from the ceiling altogether, which raised the ceiling a foot.
So now we have plaster over brick on the ceiling, and a box (soffit?) over the ductwork around the upper edge of the kitchen.
Now here's the thing: in the process we discovered our cabinets badly need to be replaced, and we can't afford the contractor's price. We decided to remove the cabinets and install a shelf. It was going to be an easy weekend project.
But as you can see from the attached picture, we removed the cabinets to discover mold behind them and no drywall above.
So... how would you handle this? Replace the moldy drywall, probably. But the missing drywall above? Do we cut small pieces of metal stud, screw them in, and then drywall over that?
I'd appreciate any ideas!
You might want to consider insulating the bottom of the duct, installing gypsum board on the bottom of the soffit, removing the mold with a mix of water and bleach, verify the gypsum is dry, and then prime the gypsum board with a paint that inhibits the growth of mold. The paint supply can help you with that. That should take care of the mold if the gypsum on the wall is now dry. If the gypsum board on the wall is damp then you need to dry it out or replace it, my preferance. Assuming you are in a building with attached units be sure to maintain or repair any fire separations between dwelling units if the work involves those separations.

I'm not sure it's carbs... I mean, who knows? Maybe it is. But I don't usually crave carbs in the form of breads or so-called high-carb foods. It's more the horribly sweet sticky stuff (like dulce de lece) or caramel coffee drinks.
My plan-- such as it is-- is to do it for three days and then make a very sensible no highly-processed foods diet. For me that actually means not eating fake meat, either.
Why do it? Not at all because I think it's a panacea, etc. I don't. I think that for me it's more just the idea of-- well, literally, a reboot. I go for months and months doing really really well on how I eat. (lost 25 pounds since August... hella slow, but I'm old and am hypothyroid), but then I do seem to go on these binges. So for me this is just a way to pull myself together.

Multi-Media Art Hides Life-Size LEGO Props In Photographs
Dean West and Nathan Sawaya's photo series 'In Pieces' features specially-sculpted objects made of the popular blocks placed within the scenes.
'In Pieces' is a multi-media collaboration between sculptor Nathan Sawaya and photographer Dean West. The photo series features specially-sculpted LEGO objects placed within the scenes, which can only be spotted when you look closely at the images. The compositions are based on ideas about nature, culture, society, and identity:
Identity as a cultural creation has been heavily commercialized and manipulated, and we prominently portray this through a highly stylized representation of contemporary life. The integration of Sawaya's unique sculpture is key to the series' narrative and aesthetic.
The photo series has been color graded with pastels including warm yellows and pale blues. The imagery appears entirely photographic at first glance, however, if the viewer examines them further, they will see that certain props have been fabricated.
This represents the direct processes involved with digital photography today, with references to pixilation and technology, which are apparent through stylized manipulation and digital enhancements. Click through to see some of the photographs from the 'In Pieces' series:

Personally I'd lean towards a product made here in the States, both to support local companies but most importantly, to have the actual manufacturer not too far away, instead of across the Atlantic Ocean.
Just my opinion, but it does seem to help to get better after-the-sale service if the product is made nearby.
The Esse Stoves are attractive, and there are several to chose from. Hopefully someone on the forum has one or knows of someone with some feedback for you.
Take care, LsFarm

Wow that seems like a serious amount of work.. but worth it.. how many potatoes did you get ?
Robyn :)
- Amy Renea Sunday, July 29, 2012
hmm -- I didn't count the number, but that big iron basket plus another full pie plate. The trimmings went back into the ground and it truly isn't that much work. Gathering and/or prepping the soil takes work, but the planting and harvesting of potatoes is one of the easiest veggies I grow :) Try tossing a chunk of one into a pot -- you'll be surprised!

Amy red potatoes are my fav. They are actually good for you too. I remember back a few years ago,I had a personal trainer and she recommended red potatoes. So eat up girl, those are looking good!

Early 87 can't pass smog; new engine
My neighbor is an older gent with a Jeep that's his baby and he can't get to pass smog (California).
He says it's an early 87, "kind of a bastard child in between a CJ and a YJ". It has a new 4.2 liter with a carbureator and distributor (stock I think, he said he'd be willing to replace the carb) that he can't get to pass a smog test. The catalytic converter is only a few years old. He says that he has had guys try to tune it on a smog dyno, and they can get real close to all the parameters passing depending on what they do, but they can't get all of them to pass at the same time.
He wants to do it the "right way" to make sure that it's running like it would have off the lot, which I commend him for, but short of changing the oil and hamfisting around with the distributor and carbureator at the same time while on a 5-gas scanner I wouldn't know how to go about it.
Are there any things on these engines that are notorious for making them a bear to pass a smog? What's the best way to go about it? Would anybody in Southern California be a hot shot with these engines or at tuning older engines to pass a smog test in general? He says he's willing to pay well to get his baby back on the road legally; it's not my area of expertise but I told him I'd look around for him.
Thanks guys.
I guess nobody is biting at the bit to get it pawned off on them. :p
So I'm going to go through the whole vacuum system and if that doesn't work I'm going to replace the carb with a new OEM replacement one. How's that sound?
Whoops didn't see this post till now. These 4.2 carbed jeeps give a bit of a fit when it comes to smog. Give me a PM with your # and we can talk about it.
Where are you located in California?
CRC makes a product guaranteed to pass the test combined with an oil change,,,I know it works as I have used to get my 1987 YJ to pass twice and I used it in a corvette I owned a couple years ago,,,,,,Give it a try,

So now Pep Guardiola wants to manage in England. As if we hadn't already added him to a list which Jose Mourinho has headed almost from the moment he arrived in Italy, before moving to Spain.
We get the message. The Premier League is the place to be. It is probably best, in order to make space for other subjects, to assume that distinguished foreign coaches dream nightly of a job among our elite clubs and henceforth to report their ambitions only if they prefer to stay in, say, Germany.
Tomorrow, though, I do fear that the Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations will continue with the headline: "I want to be in England, says Jurgen Klopp."
It's not the FA's fault, of course. Asking famous figures in football what they think of the game here is perfectly legitimate, even if an interview with Diego Maradona in which he brands us a nation of snivelling hypocrites is probably not envisaged.
Guardiola puts his finger on the best thing about what we should call English and Welsh football when he says he has always found it "fascinating" because of "the environment, the crowd and the supporters".
When you talk to players, that is what they usually say, because in no other country — perhaps not even Turkey — is the game so crowd driven. When you reduce a two-goal deficit, you almost become favourites to win because of the surge of optimism that comes from your fans, and not just when you are at home.
That someone steeped in the Barcelona culture admires it — there, the players are supposed to inspire the crowd — is interesting.
The sooner Guardiola comes here, the better. But can we now get down to celebrating the FA rather than the Premier League?Reuse content

Positive Train Control
IEEE Orange County Computer Society
Monday, October 24, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
Positive Train Control (PTC) systems are integrated command, control, communications, and information systems for controlling train movements with safety, security, precision, and efficiency. PTC systems will improve railroad safety by significantly reducing the probability of collisions between trains, casualties to roadway workers and damage to their equipment, and over speed accidents. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has named PTC as one of its "most-wanted" initiatives for national transportation safety. PTC systems consist of digital data link communications networks, continuous and accurate positioning systems, on-board computers with digitized maps on locomotives and maintenance-of-way equipment, in-cab displays, throttle-brake interfaces on locomotives, wayside interface units at switches and wayside detectors, and control center computers and displays.
Jeff Young, Assistant Vice President - Operation Systems, Union Pacific Railroad, and Chairman of the Association of American Railroads Positive Train Control Policy Committee. Mr. Young joined Union Pacific Railroad in 1976 in the Transportation Department and has since held various positions in the Operating and Information Technology departments. In 1987 he was appointed to the position of Director, Advanced Train Control Systems and for the past twenty years has been involved with the development and implementation of communication based operating and control systems.
Mr. Young regularly represents Union Pacific or the rail industry in technical conferences and government proceedings. He currently is responsible for UP's new Computer Aided Dispatching System, Communications Based Train Control System, Advanced Terminal Management Systems and all other transportation related technology for Union Pacific.
Mr. Young presented the keynote address at the recent February PTC World Congress 2011 on the topic Understanding the Commercial, Technical and Operational Potential of PTC for the American Railroad System and served on the NTSB Regional Rail Authority advisory panel in March, 2009 that investigated the Metrolink-Union Pacific Freight Train accident in Chatsworth, CA on September 12, 2008.

Penguins notebook: Tickets for Eastern Conference final on sale today
Approximately 2,000 tickets for the Penguins' first two home games of the Eastern Conference final will go on sale at noon Saturday.
Fans are encouraged to order tickets at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets also will be available for purchase at the Dick's Sporting Goods Box Office at Consol Energy Center, all Pittsburgh area Ticketmaster locations, or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000. Fans are advised that lottery systems will be used at the box office and Ticketmaster locations.
The award goes to...
Because of the NHL lockout, the league's award show will take on a new twist this season.
A special 60-minute program will air an hour before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. Originating from whichever city is hosting the game, the NHL will present winners of the Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP), Calder Memorial Trophy (rookie of the year), Norris Memorial Trophy (best defenseman), Ted Lindsay Award (best player as voted by players) and the Vezina Trophy (best goaltender).
Penguins nominated for awards include Sidney Crosby (Hart, Lindsay trophies) and defenseman Kris Letang (Norris Trophy).
In previous seasons, the NHL awards have taken place after the Stanley Cup Final in Las Vegas and, previously, Toronto.
However, because the season could extend into the final days of June because of the lockout — and because the league's draft is held in late June and free agency begins in early July — the league simply doesn't possess the time to showcase the awards ceremony after the Stanley Cup Final.
Morrow returns
Left wing Brenden Morrow entered the lineup after missing Game 4 in Ottawa with an unknown injury. It didn't take long for Morrow to assert himself.
The veteran, who predicted he would improve his play following a disappointing series against the New York Islanders, scored the game's first goal in the first period. It was his second marker of the postseason.
Bennett sits
Morrow's entry into the lineup meant that winger Beau Bennett was a healthy scratch. The coaching staff, however, remains pleased with Bennett's play. Given the Penguins' depth, there isn't always room for the talented rookie.
Health kick
The Penguins entered Game 5 without any injuries. Defensemen Deryk Engelland, Simon Despres and Robert Bortuzzo, along with forwards Bennett, Joe Vitale, Tanner Glass and Dustin Jeffrey, were all healthy scratches.
A good cause
Penguins fans before game 5 raised $16,100 for victims of this week's tornado in Moore, Okla.

Location: Hydraulic Engineering Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
The proposed research objective is to further develop geophysical tools and technologies to assess the integrity and monitoring of earth dams and levees.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
This research will focus on three ground-based geophysical techniques: 1. Seismic refraction tomography, 2. electrical resistivity tomography, and 3. passive seismic monitoring, all optimized for rapid dam and levee assessment. The tomography technologies described in this proposal will not require ground penetration, but will employ sensors placed on the surface of the dam or levee. NCPA laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) research could allow these techniques to be configured in a stand-off, non-contact configuration for more rapid measurements in the future. The seismic and electrical methods proposed would be considered as advanced screening tools capable of delineating and classifying the degree of mechanical integrity of a levee and/or its foundation. These methods would be used as part of a systematic approach and implemented based upon evidence from visual inspection but before the use of traditional boring programs. The passive seismic monitoring technology would be deployed on compromised dams and sections of levees, which require immediate remediation or are classified as highly hazardous. The established relationships between geophysical signatures, erodibility, and standard Proctor test will allow for the incorporation of geophysical instrumentation to collect data for quality control during the construction of future dams and levees.
3. Progress Report
Initiated construction and experimental set-up for large-scale facilities to conduct testing of the three ground-based geophysical techniques.

Toilet question
Hello all, I am a newbie here and ran across this great site. I figured this would be the place to get the right answers for my problems---I am going to thank you in advance.
I am looking for some opinions on a problem I had at our new home(less than 3 months old).
One my young kids must have put too much toilet paper in the upstairs toilet. He flushed it, walked away and came downstairs.
About 30 minutes later my wife was working on the computer in the room directly below the bathroom when water started coming off of the ceiling.
Of course panic and mayhem was next. I ran upstairs to the bathroom and water was 2 inches deep on the bathroom floor and water was flowing into the two adjacent bedrooms.
The toilet bowl must have already cleared itself of the clog. The top of the bowl rim was wet with water. Water was still running into the tank and into the bowl and out the drain. I lifted the lid off of the tank and found that the flapper valve was hanging up on the float. I jiggled the float and the flapper valve fell to its seat.
The next day the plumbing company that installed the toilet for the builder came over to check it out. I showed them what had happened, and they saw the flapper hang up on the float. They made a "slight adjustment" to the float.
Now the plumbing company is denying a problem because they dont want to take responsability, Their explanation for the flapper not sealing is this: "If the water closet bowl is stopped up, the bowl will fill with water to the rim, the tank can not empty the stored water in order to let the flapper valve drop and stop the flow of water".
How can a stopped up toilet with water to the rim cause the flapper not to seal?????????? The tank is higher than the bowl.
If this is the case , every time the toilet gets clogged---there will be a flood.
Could someone explain if this is possible or not.
Links removed, usually we ban people who include links like yours in their post
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt
Another post like this & you will be banned
well, back when toilets held much more in the tank there were often floods when the toilet was stopped up but luckily with the newer toilets, it doesn't happen as much due to the lesser amount of water in the tank.
but, regardless, I cannot see any reason the flapper would not fall and close regardless of how plugged the toilet was. The water is going to flow into the bowl and if it does overflow the bowl, it will only flow enough to allow the flapper to fall and seal the outlet.
as a test. use a plunger and hold it tightly against the bottom of the bowl. Flush the stool and watch what happens. Be cautious, obviously, to not let the bowl overflow but I think you will find it won't.
Just as a test, I went in and intentionally did this to my toilet and the water came a bit less than an inch from overflowing but it since the tank ran out of water, the flap closed and it quit running in except for the small tube. It may have eventually overflowed due to that small tube running water into the overflow tube but it would only have been until the tank filled and shut off the water totally.
regardless of some small amount of overflow, you would never get the amount of water you were faced with.
What a load of bs. The flood level rim of the bowl is lower than the flush valve in the tank which is where the flapper makes the seal. The only way that the tank would not empty enough to drop the flapper would be if the flood level rim of the bowl were higher than the bottom of the tank. Sorry, but I've never seen a toilet designed like that. I'd tell the contractor to demonstrate what he's telling you. When he says he wont, tell him you know he cant because gravity still exists on planet earth.
You had two problems at once either of which is a big deal combine to create a bad situation.
First was the clogged toilet. Normally only one flush of water would go into the bowl and wouldn't be enough to cause an overfill.
Next your flapper bound up somehow with the float, getting stuck on the chain or something. Normally this would cause your toilet to run with no other ill effects.
Combine both problems and you now have your toilet running with no place for the water to go but onto the floor. Have you had a problem before with the flapper getting stuck?
This is most likely a spammer due to the amount of links that were included in the post
Thanks everyone for the replies, I think my builder is coming to terms about the bogus statement the plumber used to cover his ... . I new it did not make sense. He says he is going to work with us to fix the damage. Hopefully it all works out... thanks again.
I have had flappers hang in the open position. grateful for no clog
JDC, I'm no plumber for sure, but I had what I thought was this same issue a few years ago, old job. Toilet was clogged, found out when the water ran under the closed door,(tiled floor) out into the dining area. I'm thinking the key when it happens is that the clog was present during the last couple of flushes, bowl level kept getting higher, then one more flush would push it over the top and not let the flapper close down.. and just to make sure, I'm only trying to learn here. thanks
that is in any typical toilet. I do not know about the one I posted and asked about though. I'll wait for the plumbers to explain that one because that one I do not know.

Discriminating word senses with tourist walks in complex networks

Patterns of topological arrangement are widely used for both animal and human brains in the learning process. Nevertheless, automatic learning techniques frequently overlook these patterns. In this paper, we apply a learning technique based on the structural organization of the data in the attribute space to the problem of discriminating the senses of 10 polysemous words. Using two types of characterization of meanings, namely semantical and topological approaches, we have observed significative accuracy rates in identifying the suitable meanings in both techniques. Most importantly, we have found that the characterization based on the deterministic tourist walk improves the disambiguation process when one compares with the discrimination achieved with traditional complex networks measurements such as assortativity and clustering coefficient. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such deterministic walk has been applied to such a kind of problem. Therefore, our finding suggests that the tourist walk characterization may be useful in other related applications.

You'd have to be a hermit not to realize that things are getting tougher economically for many of us. Energy prices and mortgages are skyrocketing. Trips to the mall are a luxury. Staycations have replaced vacations.
And that's why it was a pleasant surprise to see something recently that actually went down in price. An IBM TPC-C result from October was revised last week ---- the change being that price decreased from $2.56/tpmC to $2.43/tpmC.(1) Mostly because of savings on IBM storage.
Better price performance, more value for the dollar. Great news. But make sure to note that the decrease was certainly not attributable to the recent increase in Oracle pricing, which did make it tough for some benchmark repricing.

Assistance with Wiring Diagram/circuits
1 Attachment(s)
I am having my second story remodeled and wanted to take a stab at the wiring diagram to be able to have a good understanding of what will take place and to be up to speed when the contractor lays out the plan.
Notes on circuits:
All (non-bathroom) receptacle outlets will be 20Amp AFCI breakers/#12 Romex
All (non-bathroom) lighting/fan fixture will be 15Amp/#12 Romex
Bathroom Vent/Heater will be dedicated 20Amp breaker/#12 Romex
Bathroom receptacles/lighting fixtures will be dedicated (first receptacle is GFCI) - 20Amp/#12 Romex
I live in Dallas, TX.
From my understanding, lighting/fan circuits could've been #14 Romex/15 Amp breakers
All lighting will be CFLs (understand the load per circuit is lower than needed - just trying to understand laying out the circuits)
The master bedroom has a circuit heading to the attic for a few light fixtures.
Apologies for any pertinent information left out and for the non-professional look/feel to the diagram.
Any/all comments will truly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Bear in your mind there will be other readers will chime in to give you more answer as well.
Don't forget smoke detectors.
I see a few places where you are pushing the receptacle spacing codes.
-In each of the smaller bedrooms on the wall close to the center of the house. You will need 2 receptacles on that wall if the length is over 12'.
-In the master bedroom (upper right hand corner). You need a receptacle within 6' of that door.
The code is that you need a receptacle on any wall greater than 2', 6' from any break in the wall, and 12' after the first receptacle.
The other thing I would like to point out is that closet lights have specific codes. There are distances (I would have too look up) you need to stay away from combustible materials. In the closet off the bathroom, you may get away with an incandescent fixture, but the smaller closet below the master you will need a fluorescent or LED specific fixture.
If you are going to use 15 amp for lighting then use #14 cable.
EVERYTHING in the bedroom (lights, smokes, receptacles etc.) needs to be AFCI. If you are on the newest code almost everything in living areas of the house also need AFCI.
If you are feeding all these circuits from the basement to the second story maybe putting a sub panel on the second floor would be a good idea. Then you won't have such long runs and the breakers are closer where work or maintenance needs to be done. Sometimes the cost savings on the long home runs alone will pay off to have a panel installed.
I'm very thankful for the info. I'll update the diagram tonight and repost for comments. Again, thanks to everyone for the comments.
For just one room addition, you are not going to save much money using 14 gauge as opposed to running everything in 12 gauge.
Also it could take more time to run some circuits in 14 and others 12 -> keep having to look at the wiring diagrams as to which is which wire size. Also the possibility of a mistake - running 14 gauge where 12 gauge should have been run.
For my house I just run everything 12 gauge. Now if it was a large project of say 50 homes, then using smaller gauge where possible would add up to a big savings on the cost of wire.
If an electrician is running the wire, I would leave it up to him.
If you are running the wire, consider that you need to buy rolls of wire and there will be wire left over you did not need to use. So more wire could be left over if using two different size wires.
Also you get a price break if buying a larger size roll of wire. Say 250 ft. as opposed to a 50 ft. roll. (more expensive per ft.) In some stores you can buy wire by the foot - they cut off as much as you want. I don't know how much that is, but probably more per foot than buying a roll off the shelf.
Anyway you can get better prices at an electrical supply as opposed to a home improvement store. And wire is cheaper per foot in larger rolls. So in theory you could buy a large roll of 12 gauge at an electrical supply and the cost per foot would be less than 14 gauge sold by the foot in a hardware store.
If you have "more time than money", this could be an interesting thing to figure out. How many feet of each size you need. How much wire would be left over if buying a 1000 ft. roll, 500 ft. roll, 250 ft. rolls, 50 ft. rolls, etc. And the cost per foot for each of those.

@FrenchElectrician - adjusted for bathroom circuits to start in the switch box. No scuttle, stairs from first story (on the left side of pic) and stairs to third story (right side L-shaped stairs). Thank you for the comments
@brric - added and believe adheres to code (but will leave it to the electrician and inspector). Thank you for the feedback.
@k_buz - the walls are 11 feet (apologies for not having dimensions). Added receptacle next to the bathroom door. And will let electrician/inspector handle bathroom lighting. Thank you for the comments
@joed - Prob going with bulk wiring - all #12, but basing on costs of overall project. AFCI noted. Thank you for the comments
@rrolleston - good idea, will check with electrician on price comparison
@Billy_Bob - I'll leave it up to the electrician as to gauge (but agree, might be cheaper to buy all #12). Thanks for the comments
Updated diagram:
I want to make a note to ya that when you installed the recessed luminaries just be aware that you have to use the enclosed shower trim ( check the specs on the lens for max wattage useally either 40 or 60 watt indentscent )
Also just remember in all the cloth closet make sure you have no bare indentscent luminaires that have to be enclosed it can be surfaced mount or recessed can ( that is the last thing I want to touch ) the Flourscent and LED can be bare.
Otherwise look pretty good what you got on the drawing so far.
Will do. Again, thank you for the assistance.
I would never suggest to put recessed lighting that close to a ceiling fan (master bedroom). You will have moving shadows. It gets old quick.
But having the recessed lighting/fan further apart is typically okay? (see non-master bedroom) I have the flexibility to put them anywhere I want. And thanks for catching that, assuming it would drive me crazy... haha
Note: it pretty much my SOP to run 12-3 or 14-3 from switch box to the ceiling fan box for good reason due one switch for light kit and second switch for fan ( good darn reason in case remote control go bonkers )
Generally, I do not see recessed lighting and fans in the same room period. I'm not saying that it isn't done, but I don't see it.
