Paul Chryst is Pitt's Next Coach
Here is the story:
Still won't use the word "Done Deal" because he has to sign the actual contract and won't do that until Thursday and he could still back out and all that good stuff but for all intents purposes he is hired.
And I am tired so I will be brief for now and tomorrow morning come back with a very comprehensive post.
As I started writing on Monday - Chryst emerged as a strong candidate after his interview and when it became clear that Mario Cristobal was not a unanimous choice among the search committee. The bottom line is a few on the committee weren't sold that Cristobal was the right fit because of his ties to Florida and desire to stay there.
And it also became clear he was not likely to leave FIU despite what he was saying about being willing to listen.
Chryst was first identified because of his coaching pedigree, his experience (pro and college) and the fact that he has put together very good offenses and adapted to his talent. He is not going to win the press conference battle but that's OK - this hire is about finding the right guy to bring this program out of the tailspin.
The new coach wasn't going to win the press conference just because Pitt fans don't want to hear it any more - they don't want to hear grand plans and boasts about anything else. They want a winner, nothing more and nothing less.
We'll find out a lot more about the staff Chryst is likely to put together but it seems like Todd Orlando from FIU (Ironic, isn't it), Joe Rudolph from Wisconsin is a Belle Vernon native and the recruiting coordinator and of course Wisconsin co-defensive coordinator Charlie Partridge, who was at Pitt under both Walt Harris and Dave Wannstedt.
Partridge and Orlando would be excellent recruiters and would really give this staff a good in with the local prospects.
Again, I'll have much more on all of this in the morning but it has been a long, long day and it is time for me to pass out.

Vanessa Minnillo Lachey
Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey have continued to make waves as the continue their Hollywood romance. Currently looking to improve their lives the Vanessa is reported to be pushing for a reality TV show following Vanessa Minnillo & Nick Lachey.

The "Sing Off" stud and his pregnant wife looked cool and casual as they took a coastal tour of Coogee while local shutterbugs snapped up pictures.
Heading out for a weekend trip, parents to be Vanessa and Nick Lachey were spotted arriving for a flight at LAX Airport this afternoon (March 23).

The "What's Left of Me" singer stud shared the news on "Live! With Kelly" today, explaining, "She (Vanessa) started to feel a little different, not herself. So she went to the store, got a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. So we are having a baby!"
It made its Los Angeles debut the previous night, and Ke$ha ventured out to see Michael Jackson "The Immortal" World Tour by Cirque du Soleil at the Staples Center on Saturday (January 28).

Khloe Kardashian: Shopping Spree in Beverly Hills
Stepping out for some Beverly Hills air while in disguise, Khloe Kardashian hit the shopping malls with a friend on Thursday (December 19).
The 29-year-old was all smiles in black, wearing a hooded coat, which she kept low and over her face, a pair of aviators and tight black capris.
The "Keeping up with the Kardashians " starlet was clearly on a mission with her friend, Malika, but she managed to take the time to stop along the way, and give a hug to an adoring fan.
In related news, Khloe has entered what her mother, Kris Jenner, has named a "cleansing" period, due to her split from Lamar Odom, saying in an interview that, "What Khloe is going through is definitely challenging. I'm not going to lie."
The Kardashians' matriarch added, "It's also a very interesting time for her because it's very cleansing. She's also showed this side of her that I didn't know she had. I always knew Khloe was strong, but I never dreamed that she had this kind of strength."

You have this, Fudman Supplied, we broke, made on the fly, counterhold tool
, 45mm (I6) or 38mm (V8) hole spacing
- ? anything else ?[/QUOTE]
I would say, if you are methodical, which you appear to be by your post detail
you can do this if you already have removed your fan / fan shroud. The other parts, removing the valve cover and removing the VANOS is really all about following the Besian directions which were literal step by step (very good). Removing the old teflon ring required:
- a razor knife, an exacto thin blade knife would be pefect
- a pick set (small plastic screw driver handles on various metal point shafts)
- scotch brite pad to smooth out the inevitable scratches you will put on the piston surface, just dont scratch inside the groove when you remove them.
I also put new Bosche spark plugs in at the same time as you are right there once the coils are removed. Other tools, things:
- good torque wrench that works both clockwise and counter clockwise
- way to lift your car, we lifted and put a triple 2x8 block under front wheels, gives you enough access under the car to disconnect the coolant hoses from clips without removing hoses like the Besian instructions suggest (avoids bleeding the coolant system).
- I used the brake cleaner on all the parts / hoses / shields, frame, etc before putting back together, you wont reach alot of those spots ever again!
- blue tape and marker to label each coil as you remove it so you put back on the same cylinder
- remove the VANOS cap and do one piston at a time, put cap back on so you dont mix up pistons (they have a wear set to the cylinder)
- only use one roll of paper towels
- used 6x white terry towels (tossed)
- used two beach size towels to cover fender and engine to prevent scratches, etc and a nice spot to set the tools and instructions
- printed instructions in a 3 ring binder (easy to manage and set on towel above)
- two shop lights, good flashlight (to see nooks)
- pan to catch coolant when you raise the overflow tank too high even though instructions warn you about this
- pan to catch oil that VANOS will spit out when you pull metal covers and plastic caps, I followed instructions and put two white towels over the belts and hoses (see pic), they did their job
- folding table with towel on it to set all the parts in an organized group, in sequence with them coming off, easy to locate and put back on
... thats about it, an extra set of hands familiar with the next tool required (like you see on ER in the operating room) helped out HUGE.... Fudman was there with the next socket size, tool, wrench before I asked for it (he and I both had a 3 ring binder reading at the same time, his on the bench, mine under the hood), worked really well.
You can do it I'm sure, good luck.

Trey Songz's catchprase is garnering a bit of legal attention these days. The R&B singer recently went after a reality show star for allegedly stealing his signature "YUUP" expression.
Songz's lawyers served Dave "The Mogul" Hester of Storage Wars with a cease and desist letter claiming that he was using the singer's phrase during the show's auction segments without permission. He was also told to stop using the word on T-shirts and other merchandise. Hester then filed a countersuit against Songz in Manhattan federal court claiming that there was a difference between his and Songz's "YUUPs."
According to The New York Post, the lawsuit states that Songz's phrase is more of an "animal-like or non-human squeal which begins with a distinct 'yeeee' sound before finishing with a squeal-like 'uuuup' sound" and is "distinct and different from Hester's more monosyllabic sounding guttural auction bidding phrase...which is meant to convey the meaning of 'yes.'"
Hester is seeking unspecified damages and an order to keep Songz from "interfering" with the use of the phrase, which Hester trademarked in September.

My outfit for this month's theme is brought to you by Mr. Kitty. Last weekend I was standing in the closet mumbling to myself while pondering what I should wear for the gray theme. He walked in, caught me mid-mumble and immediately responded, "Do you still have that dress with all the ladies on it?" Problem solved. Today I present to you one of Mr. Kitty's all-time favorites from my wardrobe. I wore this dress on one of our VERY early dates, and maybe only once since. Yet he remembers it vividly and even brings it up from time to time. It really made an impact! So, without further ado… The outfit!
Yes, this slinky little dress is covered in classical ladies of all shapes and sizes! When I found it about a decade ago in a little shop on Melrose Ave., I fell in love with this celebration of the female form. What is better than wrapping a shapely figure in shapely figures? 🙂
I spent considerable time debating how to approach hair, makeup and accessories to complement this dress. The shrug was a given, since it matched so perfectly (and the dress has plain black spaghetti straps that don't really lend anything to the overall look). I tried several different necklaces, a couple of bracelets and a huge set of dangly earrings before I realized that less is really more in this case. You won't hear me say that often, but this print and cut really doesn't need much embellishment. I went with lightweight black sleeves because it's still chilly out, and no jewelry other than simple sterling silver studs, ear cuffs and two rings. The belt helped break up the pattern a bit and further emphasize my waist. I added a couple of flower clips to the belt to further the overall femininity of this look.
A sleek, high ponytail seemed perfect for this sleek dress. For the makeup, I decided to go monochrome, which is another thing I don't do often. I used a shimmery white shadow that was a birthday gift from Sephora, and my usual Ben Nye black shadow applied with a light touch to make it a soft gray. The lipstick is also Ben Nye, in Silver Ice. Silver lipstick, in my opinion, really needs a black outline.
Today's eyeliner is the result of several tips from Lady Bethezda's recent Winged Eyeliner Tutorial. If you are not already a fan of her blog, Bethezda's Preoccupations, you must check it out right now!

Cambridge, MA – Christopher Murray, the Richard Saltonstall professor of population policy at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and director of the Global Health Initiative at Harvard University will deliver the inaugural Angelopoulos Lecture on Nov. 1 at the Kennedy School of Government. The lecture will begin at 8 p.m. at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum, 79 JFK Street, Cambridge.
Murray is a physician and health economist who has spearheaded major new approaches to the measurement of public health, cost-effectiveness analysis, and the application of health systems performance assessment. He is the former executive director of the Evidence and Information for Policy Cluster at the World Health Organization.
The Angelopoulos Lecture Series is intended to support the mission of preparing a new generation of leaders to strengthen democratic ideals and to understand, anticipate and resolve future health challenges. The series, along with the creation of the Angelopoulos Professorship in Public Health and International Development, reflects long-time concerns of its benefactors, Mr. Theodore Angelopoulos and Mrs. Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, and will allow Harvard University to enhance its contribution to the global public health policy debate.
This event is open to the press and the public. Journalists interested in covering the Forum should contact the Kennedy School Communications Office at (617) 495-1115 to reserve space on the press riser. A live Vivex video/audio feed of this Forum will be available.
This event will be web-streamed live on the Institute of Politics website: http://www.iop.harvard.edu/events_forum.html

A High Court ruling that rockfall-threatened Port Hills properties may not have to be written off by insurers is being described as "game-changer" for those still to settle their claims.
Sumner homeowner Helen Kraal sought a declaratory judgment as to whether the Earthquake Commission (EQC) and Allianz should pay full replacement value for her house, which cannot be occupied because of rockfall threat.
The Wakefield Ave property was red-zoned by the Government and the house made subject to a council-issued Section 124 notice, which restricts entry.
Justice Jillian Mallon dismissed the claim, saying being deprived of the use of the house because of rockfall threat was not "physical loss . . . to the property" under the EQC Act or "damage" under the natural disaster cover in her insurance policy.
S124 notices remain on 357 red-zone properties and 11 green-zoned properties. However, many landowners have accepted a Crown buyout offer and settled with insurers.
Phil Elmey, an advocate for red-stickered Port Hills red-zoners, described the ruling as a "game-changer" for those who had not settled.
Insurance lawyer Duncan Webb said the decision had "changed the landscape significantly" for those still to receive a settlement offer, even where insurers had previously paid full replacement in S124 cases.
Some had taken the view houses could not be written off - deemed a total constructive loss - unless there was physical damage to the building. Others who have been paying out total constructive loss settlements in S124 cases told The Press they are now reconsidering their position.
"The lawyers who wrote those [legal opinions] would almost certainly change their view in light of this decision, because now it's pretty clear that if you've got a policy that says, 'We'll cover you for physical loss or damage' . . . that won't extend to a section 124 notice," Webb said.
"There was a degree of uncertainty, and the insurers had to take a position on it. That uncertainty has now been removed."
Lawyer Grant Shand, who has clients in Kraal's situation, said insurers still needed to prove work to remove the rockfall threat was achievable if they chose to complete repairs.
"It's not cheap, and often there are issues as to where the mitigation can be done. It may need to be done on council land or another owner's land, and that causes real problems," he said.
IAG spokeswoman Renee Walker said its legal advice indicated that permanent loss of use of a property constituted a physical loss, and claims had been settled on that basis.
She confirmed the company was seeking legal review of the Kraal judgment and its effect on IAG's policy response.
"Until we have received this advice, any claims for properties with a section 124 notice not already settled will not automatically receive a constructive total loss offer," Walker said.
Despite the ruling, a Vero spokeswoman said the company would continue to review all claims on a case-by-case basis.
"The Kraal case does clear up the issue about the effect of [an] S124 in terms of insurance loss. However, Vero case managers will continue to work closely with all customers to ensure that we can progress their claims," she said.
A spokesman for Southern Response, which had been paying full replacement in S124 cases, said the company was still assessing the implications of the decision.
Elmey expected more Port Hills red-zoners would now reject the Crown offer and seek to remain in their homes by pursuing individual mitigation through the council.
"People are now left with the option of taking a very outdated red-zone offer or waiting to see what the outcome of current investigations into council liability are," he said.
Kraal's lawyer, Richard Johnstone, said his client was "absolutely gutted" and the decision was too distressing for her to speak to The Press.

Re: Nonlinear curve fit as a Button function fails quietly
I appreciate the replies I have received so far. One thing I failed to emphasize is the intermittency of this problem. It appears to be related to the Messaging system in a subtle way. If FindFit doesn't have a problem (as it apparently did not on some of your computers) it does not try to throw a message and the fit parameters get returned correctly. The particular example I pasted does not converge in 500 iterations (on my computer) and FindFit tries to throw the Message. I think it may be a failure of Message, not the function itself, that is the source of the problem.
This morning, I have a fresh session and I deleted the cache. When FindFit throws the message, a pink Message notebook opens with the message, as expected behavior. I think somehow I buggered the windowing system, so Mathematica gets confused as to where to put the Message. Maybe it is out there somewhere, I just do not see it.
This is very hard for me to diagnose. For now, I have reduced the Accuracy and Precision goals and keep my fingers crossed. However, since I am developing this as a tool for other engineers, I have to find a resolution for this.

Researchers observing shark behaviour near Mossel Bay, South Africa got a little closer to their object of study then they'd anticipated when a three-meter great white shark leapt from the ocean and onto their vessel.
Great white sharks are known for breaching the ocean's surface to jump out of the water to catch their prey. The research team,
, based in Mossel Bay, was observing four sharks in the area when a great white — weighing approximately 500 kilograms — landed and remained on board for about an hour.
Team leader
Dorien Schröder told the Guardian that:
"Next thing I know I hear a splash, and see a white shark breach out of the water from [the] side of the boat hovering, literally, over the crew member who was chumming [throwing food bait] on the port side."
Schröder pulled the crew member from under the shark and moved towards the bow of the boat. The shark became wedged between the stern and the containers after thrashing around and cutting off fuel lines and damaging some equipment.
Another boat was called and Schröder poured water over the shark's gills to keep it alive. The team attached a rope to the shark's tail and efforts were made to pull him back into the ocean. After several attempts, the vessel carrying the shark was towed to the port and the shark was lifted with a crane back into the water.
The disoriented shark swam into the harbour and beached. A final and successful effort was made using ropes and a boat to pull the shark into the ocean.
Oceans Research's co-director,
that the shark landing on the boat was probably an accident. He said, "It's all speculation but sometimes a shark breaches the surface when it feels another shark underneath it. They [move] like a flying fish and end up several metres away."

Tapestries Based On Binary Code Display Invisible Internet Activity [Pics]
Lost data is given a second chance at life as interesting pieces of art.
Despite the impressive abilities of modern computers, there will always be information that is cast out into an eternal purgatory. One artist has decided to create a memorial to these forgotten pieces of data as part of an exhibition called Fragmented Memory.
The information normally purged from a computer's RAM has been preserved as a series of tapestries woven from raw binary code. It may not sound all that interesting, but talking with FastCoDesign, Phillip Stearns said:
The exciting thing about it, though, is that you suddenly have a way to see some of the invisible code shaping everyday life.
The bits of binary code, normally displayed as 1s and 0s were grouped into woven pixels – creating 64 different RGB values that display as different colors. Even using this simplified system of displaying the data, a complete core memory dump would translate to 106 million meters of fabric. So Stearns decided to edit, to curate the information into something both manageable and interesting on a tapestry.
While Stearn doesn't define his work as "New Aesthetic," it is clear that the works provide a glimpse into the digital world, and the forgotten information that continually passes through our computers. CLick through to see more pieces from the series.

Special GuestsJune 23rd, 2007 by Jill Hall
Today's pictures are all courtesy of Robbin. (Thanks again, Robbin.) She and her camera captured several events I missed, all of which occurred on Day Three (Thursday, for those of us who are having trouble keeping track…).
First, here's Laura the Extreme Costumer, in her embroidered jacket, and the rest of her ensemble, working at a frame which I think wouldn't have been that foreign to a real 16th or 17th century embroiderer. Laura and Jennifer flew in to join us for Thursday and Friday. It was a treat to meet them and see their work. On Friday, Laura shared with us some of her sketches of items in the V&A collection – her drawing is as beautiful as her needlework. While waiting for an open embroidery frame (at times on Thursday and Friday we actually had more qualified stitchers than we had frames for them to work at), Jennifer made ties for a forehead cloth out of sewing thread by the fingerloop braiding technique. Another guest, Marilyn, was knitting and conversing about Japanese embroidery techniques. It was like a smorgasbord of fiber arts.
Our next special guest was Shay Pendray, who couldn't escape being set to work. I came back into the room just as she was leaving the frame, and forgot to ask if she made any stitches? I hope so.
Today I attended the Patuxet Strawberry Thanksgiving at Plimoth Plantation, a really special event. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time, but it did involve walking from one end of the museum to the other, more than once. And after this busy week, I'm too tired to think. Tomorrow we'll finish up the story of Session One.

I think. Ha ha. Well, I'm 90% positive. It could change, but I don't see it changing. So I'll announce it here. Sort of. :) I wanted to see if anyone could guess it first.
We had way too many criteria for this name to meet, but some were:
- incorporate his birthmom's input, something to honor her
- the meaning of all the names needed to flow together and fit with the circumstances
- include a name Zay picked and a name I picked (because we couldn't agree on the same one, because he kept insisting on keeping the "-El" trend going)
- his first name be equally as epic and comic-book-nerdy as his older brother Kal-El's name
Does anyone want to try to guess it?
It's 3 names and it means something to the effect of "New Victory of Our God & King."
Kal's name seemed much easier to decide on, by the way. Does it get harder with each child?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The federal government is moving ahead with the first auction of offshore petroleum leases in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon disaster — despite a lawsuit challenging the sale.
Interior Department spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said bids will be opened as scheduled on Wednesday in New Orleans.
Four environmental groups are challenging a study used to clear the sale — but aren't seeking a federal court order to stop the auction. Instead, an attorney said a judge might decide later to throw out the results if he agrees with the suit.
The sale covers the western Gulf off the coast of Texas. Officials said the auction has attracted 241 bids from 20 companies on 191 tracts.

Some Bank of England regulators wanted lenders to be forced to raise even more fresh capital than the £25 billion they were told to produce last week, minutes from the latest meeting of the financial policy committee indicate.
The minutes note that some members of the new City super-regulator are concerned that even after banks have raised their capital ratios to the required 7% of risk-weighted assets by the end of the year, some institutions will be highly fragile due to their high levels of borrowing.
It pointed out that more than a quarter of the UK's banking assets, equivalent to 100% of Britain's GDP, will be held by banks that have leverage levels in excess of 40 times their equity. Some FPC members argued that this level of leverage left "little margin for error" for these banks against a backdrop of weak global growth and the heightened risks of new financial shocks from the eurozone.
These members also expressed "concern" that such fragile banks would not be able to support greater lending to the UK economy.
Chancellor George Osborne announced a shake-up of the FPC last week. Robert Jenkins, one of the most outspoken advocates of the need for the banks to raise more capital, and Michael Cohrs will be by with Dame Clara Furse, Richard Sharp and Martin Taylor.
The FPC also reiterated its recommendation that banks should "continue to exercise restraint" on staff bonuses and dividend payments to help bolster their capital levels.

Vernon Cat Owner Speaks Out After 108 Cats Seized
VERNON, TX - A Vernon woman, who had more than 100 cats seized from her home, denies the conditions were unsanitary and inhumane, and said they were well fed and cared for.
However, Sandra Blackwood also admits less than a week after all those cats were removed, she now has 8 cats inside and more outside.
The Humane Society of North Texas and the City of Vernon seized 108 cats from the home in the 3500 of 1st Street last Thursday.
The Humane Society said the condition Blackwood's home was deplorable, but she disagrees.
"I think they're wrong cause you can see here... It's not," Blackwood said. "You can't smell it in here. And the only time you can smell the urine and ammonia is when we took and emptied the cat box into the dumpsters."
But her neighbors wonder how someone could not notice the odor, especially inside the house.
"I mean, when the wind comes from the west .... it just smells like death, ammonia," neighbor Brian Sosebee said.
How did she end up with more than 100 cats?
"There was over 70 different people that brought me one and two cats a piece," Blackwood said. "They was gonna have them put to sleep. And I said no, bring them here. I'll find them homes. Nobody wanted them. And I got stuck with them."
Blackwood said they had vet care and constant access to food and water.
The cats do not have a litter box, but have a whole room covered with wood chips. Food is poured on the living room floor.
"I bleach the floor. Then I had a line there. They got in line on both sides. And then afterwards I would bleach it again.... with straight bleach and let the fans blow dry," Blackwood said.
The city attorney says Vernon residents are only allowed to have five animals per home.
Blackwood said she thought it was six, and said she now has at least 11.
"I have eight in the house and I think it's three outside," Blackwood said.
Blackwood said she is upset about signing custody of the animals over to the Humane Society.
"It's depressing. It's empty here. It's an empty home," Blackwood.
Blackwood also wanted to pursue a future business plan that involved cats.
"I was planning on opening a no-kill shelter for them and it would be an on-going thing," Blackwood said.
Blackwood said the house could not have smelled too much of ammonia because she has COPD.
The city attorney said no charges are pending, but that does not mean they won't be later and city officials said they will continue to monitor the situation.

You can accept caregiver duties regardless of how many miles stand between you and a loved one. You may not be able to cook meals or bring him or her to doctor's appointments, but there are other tasks that you can tend to.
You likely won't be the primary caregiver given your distance, but you can be a valuable resource for whoever is. Your help will be appreciated by those who provide hands-on care and the person who is being cared for.
Offer assistance
Let the primary caregiver know that you'd like to lend a helping hand by reaching out. If he or she has grown used to handling caregiver responsibilities alone, you may face some difficulty at first. However, being gently persistent can help him or her realize that your assistance may not only be useful, but necessary in easing his or her stress.
Rather than let the primary caregiver figure out which tasks you can tend to from afar, propose them on your own and let him or her decide which aspects of caregiving he or she would like help with. Here are some to get you started.
- Look for home health care products: If your loved one has trouble with everyday tasks, products such as adaptive kitchen aids can allow him or her to continue living independently. You can even purchase the items and have them sent to the home if you want.
- Conduct research: One of the most tedious aspects of caregiving is finding out more about the condition. There are many resources, and sometimes you have to corroborate information, which takes time and patience. Save the primary caregiver from this responsibility and offer to do it. Create an easy-to-read document highlighting pertinent data and share it with other caregivers.
- Call often: Providing care for a family member isn't just about gathering information or purchasing home aids. You also have to consider his or her mental well-being. Time magazine pointed out that staying in touch will help you monitor his or her emotional health and everyday routines. You might even pick up on a problem that the primary caregiver hasn't detected.
It's always difficult to be far apart from someone you love, but supporting him or her isn't impossible as long as you know what to do and how to approach the matter.

The Botox website shows the effects on several women of various ages from the 3rd day to 2 weeks after the injection, so I was encouraged it would work for me. I'm 53 and had the injection between the brows and while I can't use the frown muscles for now, it did nothing to diminish the creases there.
I let the dr. know and went in to have them take a look but they said the wrinkles would not diminish but they wouldn't increase either. Not what I wanted to hear after the fact. Had I known, I would not have wasted my money. I won't have it done again.

This is a super weekend!
The Colts and the Saints go head to head in the Super Bowl! The two teams that had the best record early in the season are in the biggest game of the NFL postseason.
This will be a close game, but I think that the Colts come out on top. Even though Dwight Freeney is injured, he still wants to play in Super Bowl XLIV. I don't think that Freeney's absence will make the outcome of the game change much.
I think the Colt's defense is much better than the Saints' D. This will lead to more chances for the Colts' offense. Brees and Co. will have to make the most of fewer chances, but I don't think they will.
The Colts' receivers are just as good as the Saints' pass catchers. I think Peyton Manning will take advantage of his ball control offense through the course of the game. This way, he can help the Indianapolis defense get a rest once and awhile.
I think the Colts' special teams will control the Saints' field position. By keeping Reggie Bush in check, along with the rest of the New Orleans' returners, the Colts will give the offense more room to work.
I know that the Colts will put up a winning fight. Both teams have seven Pro Bowlers, but I like the Colts' seven over the Saints'. Led by Manning, the final score will be 31-27 in favor of the Indy crew.
The only reason that the nominees from Colts and the Saints could not be at the Pro Bowl is because the Pro Bowl was bumped up before the Super Bowl. Bumping up the Pro Bowl took the best players out of the picture of going to the Pro Bowl.
I thought that the Pro Bowl was for the best players in the league, not some of the best and then second string players. If I was the commissioner of the NFL, I wouldn't have changed the weekend of the Pro Bowl. This change has taken away from the chance for the greatest players from different teams to meet, share ideas and tips, and just have fun.

Alicia Keys Ventures Into Fantasy on 'Zebras and Airplanes'
R&B piano diva Alicia Keys offers a musical gem for her loving fans. 'Zebras and Airplanes' is yet another unreleased song that she's dropped through her online treasure vault.
Unlike her more empowering track, 'Power,' Keys decides to venture into a more dreamlike atmosphere.
The lullaby keys allow the songstress to heighten her tone to a more comforting level as she coos, "Have you ever wanna fly, have you ever wanna run away / Have you ever closed your eyes in a vision and it took you away?"
The songbird writes that she was inspired by art before the recording of this song.
"I wrote it five years ago when I was in the studio recording 'The Element Of Freedom,'" she says. "I had never been overcome to write a song after seeing a painting before, but this one sent me to another place. I felt it!"
Keys doesn't say the exact piece that inspired her, but it could've also inspired the song's cover, which provides a literal interpretation of the melodic ballad.
Listen to Alicia Keys' 'Zebras and Airplanes'

I'm going to purchase a Glock and I'm not sure what I should get. Help me please. Gen 3 or 4 and Compact/subcompact in 9mm (19/26) or 45acp (30)? CT grips or not?Any suggestions? This will be my CCW gun. Im 5'11" and 145lbs hope it helps.
don't know too much about gen 3 or four. i have 4 glocks 2-27, 30, 29. one 27 has ct grips and if you practice fast draw and shoot i think you will find for just a split second you hesitate to focus on the light and not pulling the trigger. however they are great for target shooting. my ccw is the 27 without the laser becuse it has good stopping power and it is about 5 ozs. less than the 30. a lot depends on how the gun fits your hand
The G27 is what my wife carries. Solid weapon. I have been wanting to add a G30 to the mix. The G36 is a 45 cal slimmer alternative to the G30. However the G36 holds less rounds.
I have carried a Glock 27 with pinky extension magazine for over 10 years. Never had a jam while training but can be a little difficult to conceal during summer months.
Hikock45 says that his favorite Glock is a G23, midsized .40 caliber. He claims it conceals nearly as well as the G27, is easier to shoot and has a larger amunition capacity. The equivalent in 9mm would be a G19.
I have a G27, it is not bad to shoot (but the .40 has sharper recoil than the 9mm) and it conceals well. It can also be ankle-carried.
Probably I will get a G23 next. I've been wrestling with that issue for a while and I have not yet made a decision.
For a first weapon, the G23 in .40 or the G19 in 9mm would be my recommendation; for experienced shooters either the G23 or the G27 (or the G19 or G26 in 9mm).
Glock 19 or 26, 9mm with a trigger job.
Lightweight, small, easy to conceal and carry.
Cheap target ammo, great reasonably priced HP ammo: $211/1000 for target, and $35-50/50 great HP ammo (FedPrem HST 124gr, Winchester T-Series, Mag-Tech, Hornady XTP)
Get good instruction on grip, stance, targeting, trigger, and lots of practice.
There is a reason the 9mm is the most popular caliber.
If you are looking at .45 ACP then go with a G30
It's lite, concealable, low recoil & accurate
The G36 is Uber-cool. I had a G30 for a few years, but traded it off on a gun trade. I loved to shoot the higher capacity Glock, but it was a pain to carry. (Minor back problems)
Whether you buy a standard, compact, or sub-compact, I would suggest you get a 40 S&W caliber (22, 23, or 27) because for about another $150ea you can get conversion barrels and a mag to shoot 9mm and 357 out of it. This way you have three different caliber pistols in one.
Also note that the subcompacts (G26 & G27) will take longer to learn to shoot well. They have a truncated grip that does not allow for the use of the pinkie when gripping it, and a shorter sight radius that makes aiming more difficult.
They do conceal better so that is a trade-off.
Ok so I'v shot the Glock 21, 26, and 30. Love all three but I'm wondering if it would be better to get a 17 to carry for a farm and ccw gun or go with the 26. Any ideas or information would be great. I would like a 9mm for my first gun and I will be purchasing a 45ACP in a few months and will be getting the 30. I can shoot the 21, 26, and 30 great I found a range in Spokane, WA where I have family. I also shot the SA XD-9 SC and the XDM-9 4.5 I seem to prefer SC guns and can control them better (wierd eh?) and I like the feel. Would the 26 be a good EDC gun for any enviroment? I plan on getting 500 rds of American Eagle 115gr for $100 at a local store good or bad idea? And should I get some 17 mags for it for carrying on the farm? Thanks for your opinions.
I just got a 26 yesterday and shot it today. I love this little gun. Got rid of my kahr pm9 and SA EMP 40. This is and will be my primary carry gun
-As your first gun (if you're learning to shoot), a compact (G19) or full size (G17) will be easier to learn and get proficient on (rather than a subcompact like the G26).
-For concealed carry -- no doubt the G26 is the easiest to conceal. If concealment / comfort is not an issue -- then I would personally go as big as I could because it feels better for me and I shoot with improved accuracy. It's hard to pick 1 gun that easily does both. But if you like the subcompact design and shoot it well -- then maybe just get the G26.
- Something to keep in mind, as a new shooter you'll probably want to practice a lot. 9mm is significantly less expensive than 45ACP or most other center-fire bullets. I know you didn't ask -- but even a 22LR pistol isn't bad for training a new shooter (to practice some fundaments) and to plink around with. If you want to shoot a lot and self defense not an issue, a 22LR pistol might be something fun too. 22LR ammo is far less expensive than even 9mm.
- Lastly - as a new shooter - take an NRA Safety Course as soon as you can. It will help with your decision, give you a good foundation of knowledge and safe practices, and is probably required for your concealed carry permit.
forget the generations bs - they are all good
for your weight - the glock 36
i owned a g26 but just something didn't click with me - probably the double stack and pinky finger but probably the new single stack craze for 9mm ALSO all the craze for 3" 1911s - i studied the internet and found the glock36 is cheaper than those 3" 1911s and more reliable and the same overall dimensions with a longer barrel
By the way all I need to get my ccw in Montana is a Hunters Education card. Although I would like to go through a couple of NRA corses. Just renewed my NRA membership for 5 years. Thanks for the help everyone.

" Type: Umbrellas / Awnings "
The awning can be opened as much or as little as you like up to the maximum projection. The specially designed arms are adjustable to enable you to alter the slope of the awning from almost horizontal to a relatively steep tilt of approximately 35 degrees from the horizontal. The aluminium front bar ensures the fabric hangs smoothly. Our awnings are designed to attach to the wall and are supplied with two or three brackets (depending on the size of the awning you order) and expandable fixing bolts. The awnings are easy to fit and come with full fitting instructions. With the correct tools they should not take more than two hours to fit.

Posted by James McQuivey on May 9, 2014
A media frenzy arose last night when the Financial Times suggested it had word from the inside that Apple is closing in on buying Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion. The immediate response from all quarters has been puzzlement and on multiple levels. As the sun rose today, so did the doubts about the impending deal. Generally, large strategic acquisitions — like when Google bought Nest for a similar figure — can be justified on the basis of buying something you don't already have: a promising new technology, a large customer base, or entrée into a desirable industry. None of these things apply to this acquisition by Apple. Acquisitions at a more mature business stage can typically be justified purely on a revenue or margin basis or the desire to snap up a brand with more energy. Those don't apply here, either. Even those who have tried to stretch the argument a bit have suggested that Apple could be buying Beats purely for a quick road into the music streaming business as a hedge against Spotify — except that Apple owns the music industry and doesn't need Beats to build the music streaming offering that the company has denied for years that it should even consider getting into.

Putting Swedish Brokers On A Short Leash
Not long ago, the Stockholm Stock Exchange had a typically Swedish reputation: It was squeaky clean. The clubby brokers went mostly by unwritten rules. But this will no longer do--not since two recent trading scandals. One involves shares in forestry giant Stora. The other, focused on trading in Pinkerton Inc., a Westlake Village (Calif.) security-services company bought by Sweden's Securitas, has drawn the ire of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. "Our market has an ethical and disciplinary problem," says Claes Norgren, director of Sweden's Financial Supervisory Authority. "Old clubs don't work the way they did."
After booming for more than a decade, Sweden's market is in for some painful changes. Faced with more than 40 charges of insider trading, the Swedish Securities Dealers Assn. must produce tighter rules, enforcement provisions, and licensing and certification requirements by May. Otherwise, Norgren says, his agency will police the exchange directly. Either way, the scandals have jarred a long-coddled broking community. And as equity trading globalizes, Swedes can look forward to more scrutiny from regulators such as the sec.
Investigations into the Pinkerton scandal have mushroomed since the alleged insider trading came to light in late February. Within days, the sec froze the U.S. bank accounts of a Swedish stockbroker and four clients. It alleges that they made $175,000 in illegal profits by trading in Pinkerton stock in New York just before Securitas announced on Feb. 22 that it would purchase the company for $384 million. In Sweden, the Economic Crimes Bureau has questioned 11 brokers, trading house employees, and clients in an investigation--the nation's largest--that is expected to last 18 months.
The Stora scandal also involves a cross-border transaction. Stockholm is looking into whether three brokers in the London offices of Credit Suisse First Boston, working with a Stockholm trader, manipulated Stora's stock last December, just before it merged with Enso Oyj, a Finnish forest-products company. These inquiries are ongoing, but all four brokers have left their jobs.
The scandals hit at a difficult time. As low-cost Internet trading grows, brokers are under pressure to drop commissions that run as high as 6%. There's also concern that the Continent's bourses, denominated in euros, could take the steam out of the kroner-denominated Swedish market. That would end a long party: In the past decade, volume on the Stockholm exchange has grown from a daily average of fewer than 3 million shares to 47.5 million. Market capitalization, now $300 billion, is more than 100 times as large as it was 10 years ago.
STEP LIVELY. The market's lively pace has fueled the growth of independent brokerages, but it has also strained the industry's ability to regulate itself. Often, inexperienced traders either are ignorant of the rules or believe they can flout them. Matteus Fondkommission, Sweden's 10th-largest brokerage, just fired six young traders who have been questioned in the Securitas case. "It had nothing to do with guilty or not," says Matteus President Rickard Bjorklund. "We can't employ anybody suspected of such a crime." Bjorklund plans to launch a new training program and require all new hires to work with veterans for up to two years. New traders will also have to pass an in-house exam on Matteus' trading guidelines. With the rueful wisdom of hindsight, Bjorklund adds: "I wish I had established well-defined internal rules."
New rules are just what the Financial Supervisory Authority now wants to see. And insider trading isn't the only problem. It has also asked for regulations that cover margin buying, stock manipulation, and unauthorized speculation with clients' funds. It wants tougher enforcement of the requirement that phone calls between brokers and clients be recorded and time-stamped.
It would run radically against the Swedish grain for Norgren's agency to introduce a heavy-handed regulatory regime. But if the industry's proposals come up short, Norgren says, he'll even push for legislation to strengthen his authority. For Sweden's brokers, it's time to walk the straight and narrow.

It's January and in the tech industry that means packing your bags and heading to Las Vegas, the home of the Consumer Electronics Show. As ever we'll be there to cover every inch of the show, or at least as much Riyad, Gordan and I can manage between us - which will be a lot, be sure of that!
While the show proper runs from Thursday until Saturday, news - such as a new range of cool looking new Lenovo laptops - has already begun to leak and the big press conferences from the likes of Panasonic, Microsoft and Samsung et al kick-off on Wednesday. As such, expect the next week to be a veritable geek feast of tech news to rival the Christmas festivities.
Here's a quick guide as to what to expect and how to keep track of it all.
Facts & Figures
Due to the "global economic downturn" (read: recession) and some deliberate cost cutting by the show's organisers, attendance last year fell by 22 per cent to just over 110,000. It's still the biggest show of it's kind of the world, though, boasting close to 3,000 exhibitors and spanning just over 1.8 million square feet. It truly is gadget nirvana and what better place to host it all than Las Vegas?
Who & When?
As already noted the show proper starts on Thursday, but there's a lot going on before that happens. Tomorrow (US time) will be CES Unveiled, the official pre-show preview event where many manufacturers choose to exhibit in the hope of getting the jump on the competition. We'll be heading there directly from the airport, so expect to see news from there when you check the site Wednesday morning.
Wednesday in Vegas is the press day when all the manufacturers conduct their press conferences. LG kicks off at 8am (4pm GMT) with all the big guns (Toshiba, Pioneer, Sharp, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony and more) following throughout the day, culminating in the Microsoft keynote at 6:30pm (2:30am GMT).
More press conferences are to be had throughout the week, most notably including Ford, Intel and nVidia on Thursday.
What's going to be hot?
Some trends have already begun to reveal themselves. Just like 2009, expect 3D to play a large part. While the jury (in some parts) is still out on Avatar, box office figures show it has been a massive success, giving manufacturers more excuse to push the technology where none was needed. Another perennial TV related technology, wireless HD, is also expected to make a splash, though whether we're any nearer to seeing usable consumer products is another matter. Expect even more OLED TVs appearing, too.
With stateside going mad for eBook readers, particularly Amazon's Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook, eBook readers are bound to be arriving in numbers. That said many are likely to come from little-known manufacturers, so it remains to be seen if they'll be worth the trouble. Along similar lines, tablets of all shapes and sizes are inevitable, some masquerading as eBook readers and PCs combined.
New netbooks and laptops should be plentiful since Intel is officially unveiling its much talked about Pine Trail platform for netbooks and Core i3 for laptops, with both integrating the graphics chip onto the CPU. Some details of these new machines have already begun to leak and we fully expect all the major manufacturers to have something to talk about here.
Some interesting things will be happening outside the show, too. Google has announced a press conference tomorrow, where it is expected to officially announce its Nexus One Android mobile phone. There's even some talk of a tablet PC, but that's strictly gossip right now. While we won't be in Mountain View ourselves (we might fly over it), we'll let you know the details when they arrive.
How to follow the show
Naturally TrustedReviews should be your first destination for in-depth, non-copy & pasted news coverage and hands-on impressions. As ever there's the TrustedReviews News RSS to subscribe to and those of that persuasion can also use our Twitter feed to keep up-to-date.
Myself (@andyvan) and Gordon (@gordonkelly) will also be tweeting from the show, so follow us to see what we're up to and ask us to seek things out if you like.
Finally, to see all the CES 2010 news all in one place, our CES news index page will be the place to go.
Next stop, Las Vegas.

Into Main Memory: Nanocubes for Interactively Visualizing Billion-Point Data Sets
For exploring large, complex data sets, nothing matches the power of interactive visualizations that let users directly manipulate data and arrange it in new ways.
But with data sets of millions or billions of data points, interactivity is hard to achieve. It's hindered by the sheer number of computations required to return a query result, and by the latency inherent in accessing data so big it requires disk storage. AT&T researchers realized the best way to maintain interactivity was to move all data into main memory. How to do that was the challenge, and it required a new type of data structure: the nanocube. Read more.
Nanocube Paper Awarded Honorable Mention
Nanocubes for Real-Time Exploration of Spatiotemporal Datasets, a paper by Lauro Lins, James T. Klosowski, and Carlos Scheidegger, was awarded an Honorable Mention at this year's IEEE INFOVIS Conference. The paper presents algorithms to compute and query a nanocube, a new type of data structure that aggregates spatiotemporal data and makes it possible to interactively visualize billion-point data sets. Nanocubes are the subject of the main article.

General Motors was recognized again last week for its contribution to the growing field of sustainable transportation by having seven of its employees join an elite list of 100 advanced-tech vehicle industry movers and shakers.
This group was honored by Automotive News as the top-100 most influential people in all related fields from battery makers, to automobile companies, to those involved with charging infrastructure, utilities, etc. Basically leaders from any private or public field were eligible to be chosen, as long as they were pushing the advanced-tech frontier forward.
The list of names includes President Barack Obama, other government officials from around the world, heads of corporations from around the world, visionaries such as Chelsea Sexton, brilliant engineers, entrepreneurs, and more.
2011 Chevrolet Volt. The first of the Voltec line.
For General Motors to fill out seven percent with its people is a testimony to GM's commitment to sustainable transportation most pointedly represented by the Volt. The award signifies that GM's people are having a profound effect on the advanced-tech automotive industry. In order of their naming to Automotive News Electrifying 100's list, GM's people were:
• Britta Gross, Director of global energy systems and infrastructure commercialization
• Chris Borroni-Bird, Director of advanced technology vehicle concepts
• Doug Parks, Global vehicle line executive & chief engineer, global electric vehicles
• Jon Lauckner, President, General Motors Ventures
• Mattias Bork, Global chief engineer, fuel cell propulsion systems
• Micky Bly, Executive director of global electrical systems, hybrids, EVs and batteries
• Tony Posawatz, Vehicle line director for Chevrolet Volt
Ripples in the pond
As Posawatz wrote in a recent Voltage blog, the Volt has been an industry trendsetter. After the concept was introduced in 2007, other automakers followed GM's lead announcing six plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles. In 2008, another 19 vehicles were introduced. In 2009, five more followed, and in 2010 there were 14 retail electric vehicle launches from both niche and major manufacturers, including the Volt.
"Electric vehicles are the future of a sustainable automotive industry and the cornerstone technology that will take automobiles out of the environmental debate," Posawatz said. "Over the past few years, the State of Michigan has been working to make the state a cornerstone of the electric vehicle industry and GM has played a critical role in this initiative."
As a result of the Volt, and the Voltec platform that will spin off new models in years to come, thus far GM has invested $800 million in Michigan.
Its suppliers likewise are investing many millions.
Jon Lauckner pointed out the shift to EVs is creating new automotove industry sectors.
In addition to points Posawatz made, Lauckner noted that in the last few years, besides bringing the Volt to market, GM has established the largest OEM battery lab in the United States and hired 1,000 new engineers and researchers.
Why they were picked (In the words of Automotive News)
The market for the Chevrolet Volt and other plug-in vehicles depends on the development of public infrastructure. At GM, that job falls to Gross, 51, who has worked with regulators, utilities and auto industry peers to develop common standards that allow for convenient charging options.
Britta Gross
Borroni-Bird, 46, directs GM's EN-V concept, a battery-powered vehicle, based on the two-wheeled Segway scooter, with a top speed of 25 mph. The program is GM's bet on a solution for future cities too densely populated to handle today's cars and trucks. Unveiled in 2010, the EN-V, which stands for Electric Networked Vehicle, can drive itself and communicate wirelessly with other EN-Vs to avoid crashes.
Chris Borroni-Bird
Parks, 49, is responsible for the delivery and execution of the Chevrolet Volt and other future electrified vehicles for GM. Central to his challenge was readying GM's plug-in hybrid propulsion system for the Volt's December 2010 production launch. Now Parks must push forward the additional plug-ins that GM CEO Dan Akerson has said he wants.
Doug Parks
Lauckner, 53, is considered one of the fathers of the Volt; an impromptu drawing of his made GM design czar Bob Lutz a believer in the technology. Now Lauckner is GM's venture capitalist, searching the world for technology investments. Electrification is a target area for his initial $100 million fund. Early investments include two battery developers, Sakti3 Inc. and Envia Systems. Lauckner isn't a seasoned venture capitalist; he studied engineering and management in college and then rose through GM's ranks. His previous gig was head of global product planning.
Jon Lauckner
Bork, 52, is responsible for designing, developing and validating all of GM's fuel cell propulsion systems, which have produced prototypes of the Chevrolet Silverado and Equinox. GM has invested more than $1 billion in development of hydrogen vehicles.
Mattias Bork
Bly, 44, oversees GM's work in all things related to electrification, including drivetrains, batteries and even connectivity inside the vehicle. He was director of global hybrid integration and controls when development of the Volt plug-in hybrid began. That process — the Volt development — took just 29 months from the ground up, which Bly called a record at GM for introducing new models.
