Target: Dr. Charles B. Reed, Chancellor of the California State University (CSU) system
Goal: Do not prohibit California residents from attending graduate schools within the state.
Harsh budget cuts are going to be making it even harder for California students to attend graduate schools in the upcoming spring semester. After years of financial restrictions and another $750 million cut in state funds last year, the California State University (CSU) system has been forced to draw (and save) money wherever it is possible. Unfortunately, that means denying admission to thousands of students living within the state.
"We're limiting undergraduate and graduate enrollment for anyone who needs some sort of subsidy to attend college, which happens to be California residents," explained Mike Uhlenkamp, a CSU spokesman. On average, in-state grad students pay approximately $7,400 in tuition per year (an amount that is largely discounted on behalf of the state); students from other states or countries, on the other hand, pay upwards of $17,000 a year, making them much more desirable to a system that is badly strapped for cash.
It is easy to see where this is unfair. For many, the purpose of the CSU is to educate Californians (among others): residents who for generations have paid taxes that have helped support the system they are now effectively being shut out of. And students are not the only ones seeing red; teachers, too, have responded that the current policy is favoring students with cash in hand over California students regardless of which party best meets the requisites of the university.
"It's discriminating. I'm appalled," said Maria Nieto, a professor of biology and coordinator of her department grad studies at Cal State East Bay. "Out-of-state students are welcome. International students are welcome. Diversity is welcome, is important, but you don't exclude California residents."
Tell the chancellor of the CSU system not to exclude California residents from furthering their education within the state.
Dear Dr. Reed,
There is no denying that California, and particularly its system of state universities, is struggling financially. As each year passes, more and more money is being taken away from this educational system, and the students who rely on it the most are feeling the pain. In the latest attempt to gain the financial upper hand, the CSU system has decided that it would be more beneficial to solely accept non-resident graduate students for the upcoming spring semester. California residents, on the other hand, will have to find other ways to complete their education.
It is easy to see where this is unfair. In-state students have been committed to the CSU system through generations of taxpaying. To exclude them from the roster would be to ban an integral part of the state-wide community, one that continues to give to the state that is turning away from them. While it completely reasonable to understand that changes are necessary to bring the CSU system back on its feet, cutting off resources to residents is not the way to do this.

Changing image from grey-scale to another
How would one convert a grey scale image into another color

In case you were wondering why I am asking:
I am attempting to use Mathematica to analyse microarray data.
The capture software outputs multi-image tifs.
One image represents a green wavelength, another image
represents a green wave length. But they are rendered in grey

Recommend A Novel to A Blogger
Enough psychiatry! I need an escape...from the psychiatry day job, the psychiatry blog, the psychiatry book, the psychiatry TV series. I'm not particularly fond of heights, and unlike ClinkShrink, I can't imagine lowering myself down a 170 drop pretending to be SpiderShrink.
So, someone, please recommend a novel! I'd like a great novel, one so compelling I can't put it down. I read Out Stealing Horses a couple of weeks ago and that was good, but heavy and brooding, it left me feeling cold and dark all day (it takes plays in Scandinavia). Any suggestions?

Annual reports becoming marketing tools
January 30, 2013 Leave a comment
Brands are always looking for that new, inspiring way to connect with people; whether it be that amazing advert, viral video or clever copy.
Now brands are utilising the power of annual reports.
At the 2012 Cannes International Festival of Creativity, the judges were put into a child-like frenzy when they were given what appeared to be a plain, white book. But when they took the book outside into the sunlight, it became the annual report for solar energy company Austria Solar. It had been printed on specially treated paper that reacted when exposed to the sun and it's rays.
The Report earned accolades across the awards circuit, and it still does today recently named as a contender for The Design Museum's Design of the Year.
It is not the first time that an annual report has been creatively produced; Croatian agency Bruketa & Zinic has built a reputation on brilliant annual reports for it's longtime clients Adris Group and Podravka. For Adris Group they created an annual report that glows in the dark, another that weighed a lot more than it looked, and most recently one whose pages changed colour and revealed more details when touched. For Podravka, who are the largest food brand in Southeast Europe, they created a report that could not be read until it had been baked in an oven.
Brands and agencies have started to see reports as a new way to generate visibility and interest. By creating these innovative reports they raise brand awareness and can have a positive impact upon their investors, delivering a message of innovation and forward thinking. The trend is towards changing the way that annual reports are delivered and with many appearing online interactive elements are being included such as video, links and rollover text. However, it is still only the brave that break the mould and push the boundaries where finances and investment is involved.

Finally, I was able to put my hands on some pieces of cardboard to start the RWH scratchbuild with the templates I made. You can find the templates here RWH Templates and you can read about the RWH project thread here The Boba Fett Helmet Project.
After I printed all the pages, I glued the inner and outer parts of the helmet form and the dome and helmet form parts. Also glued the cheek bones on the cardboard.
Attachment 64766 Attachment 64765 Attachment 64764
I cut out the dome base template and the helmet inner parts then glued the inner parts on the bottom of the dome base template.
Attachment 64769 Attachment 64768 Attachment 64767
Next, I cut out the inner helmet face, then glued on to the dome base template.
Attachment 64771 Attachment 64772 Attachment 64770
Finally, I glued on and cut out the rear panel, then glued the two pieces together. You can see that I left a thin strip around three-quarters of the rear panel that will help me to glue this on the inside of the inner helmet part.

Law enforcement agencies may collect hundreds of hours of video footage, thousands of digital images, and hours of digital audio recordings every single week. We don't believe you should spend that much time hunting for important evidence. With Evidence.com, you don't have to.
Axon featured in Bloomberg Businessweek
Bloomberg Businessweek ran a great article detailing the history of TASER and Axon last week.
Need Help Organizing Evidence? We Can Help.
Adopting new technology can place an enormous burden on law enforcement agencies. Managing the massive amounts of data digital technology can produce is a time-consuming and complex task. Many agencies are already struggling to keep up with the demand, and most don't have long-term storage plans in place.
Do you spend more time dealing with the technology on your toolbelt than policing?
The time it takes to ingest evidence is keeping your officers off the streets. It doesn't have to. With our Axon solutions, you can use technology to streamline your evidence-related processes.

Dear Members of Congress!
My name is Renat Kuzmin, I am the citizen of Ukraine, Doctor of Laws, Professor at the National Academy of Prosecution of Ukraine, Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine. Father of two children. Christian.
My appeal to You is caused by the United States Senate's adopting resolution on Ukraine. [Editor's Note: See Kyiv Post for full text of US Senate resolution under headline "Senate: US should punish those responsible for Tymoshenko's imprisonment;" https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/op-ed/us-senate-resolution-calls-for-release-of-tymoshenko-313343.html]. The basis to this resolution was the situation with Julia Tymoshenko in Ukraine, which, from my point of view, was not adequately received by some American politicians. The basis to this involuntary errancy is insufficient awareness and sidedness of evaluations, which were formed by party in interest.
The matter is about Julia Tymoshenko's case, with respect to whom Ukrainian investigators are inquiring into cases upon the matter of her commiting serious crimes.
I am addressing to You as a person, who craves for the citizens of Ukraine to live in the democratic counrty. I dream about Ukraine, in which the criterion for justice and basis for social interrelations is Law. I also dream about Ukraine, in which Law is equally fair to all the citizens, including those, who represent my Motherland at the highest level.
Our country got its independence 20 years ago, having eliminated the Soviet totalitarian system oppression. We are building civil society for free people. We are facing many obstacles and challenges on our way, but we are heading insistently to our goal. The United Sates of America set the example for Ukraine as the Great Counrty, which has experince, that is beyond price, for establishing democratic institutions. We are learning from You.
I am led by patriotism and responsibility to Ukrainian nation. I am deeply convinced, that the adopted resolution on Ukraine could be considered fair neither to our young state nor to all of its citizens.
The interested in this resolution party, representing Julia Tymoshenko, has brought Senate under delusion, providing specially selected and bias information, which was based only on emotions, without taking into consideration the actual facts. The other party had no opportunity to proffer its arguments. Not being provided with the precise and reliable information, it is rather difficult to distinguish the truth.
By adopting this resolution, Senate demanded that Ukraine should terminate its criminal prosecution of Julia Tymoshenko, including the case of organising and financing assassination of Ukrainian Parliament Member and other three absolutely innocent people.
There may not be many truths, there is only one, and in the case of Mrs. Tymoshenko the investigators are establishing the truth. The claim to terminate seeking for the truth in the case of murdering four people, voiced in Senate, caused bewilderment and disappointment, expressed by majority in our society. Do the American authorities wish to hinder establishing the truth through posing threats and ultimatums, acting from the position of strength?
According to Christian Saint: " God appears not in power, but in truth". And the task for prosecutor is to establish it, not attempting to hide it from the world community, regardless of how unpleasant or horrific it might be.
I may not imagine, that the U.S. Senate could demand that an American prosecutor should terminate investigation of mass murdering the citizens on September, 11, 2001 only due to prosecutor's testing whether an influential oppositional politician is involved in this terrible crime. I may not imagine, that the U.S. Senate could demand that Sweden should terminate criminal case upon the matter of murdering Prime Minister Olof Palme for analoguous reasons. Senate would uniquely not terminate searching for Al-Qaeda leaders. I do not understand for what reason Senate recommends Ukraine to terminate investigation of murdering four people.
General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine within the period of 2011-2012 appealed to Department of Justice and State Department of the USA more than 20 times in order to receive assistance in interviewing former Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavel Lazarenko, who claimed about his readiness to bear testimony to Ukrainian investigators. In fact, we never received a response. We had no opportunity to receive important testimony about murders in Ukraine.
It might be, that the resolution of Senate is the answer to Ukraine's efforts in searching for murderers of influential politician, his wife and two innocent people? Can this resolution possibly mean, that the person, having reached the high governmental level of authority, is extrajudicial?
How would an American prosecutor act in case of Ukrainian Parliament demanding that one should terminate the penal action in the case of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavel Lazarenko, accusing the USA of politically motivated justice? I shall remind, that in accordance with American Court verdict, he is serving his ten-year sentence in Californian prison.
By adopting this resolution, Senate demanded that Ukraine should terminate its criminal prosecution of Julia Tymoshenko, including the case of organising and financing assassination of Ukrainian Parliament Member and other three absolutely innocent people.— Renat Kuzmin to US Congress
I am ready to speak in front of You in Congress. I am also ready to provide all the documents upon this matter. I am ready to speak to American media in order to tell the truth. I will be glad if You hear me. My only motivation is my desire to convey my position, so You would know the truth. According to former American President of the USA :" Law and one are always a majority".
There is no doubt, that the termination of criminal case concerning the matter of murdering four people, is a great sin in face of God and people. By permitting it occur, we will commit another crime, showing the new generation, that the politician, who has the powers, may with impunity act illegally, and even murder people.
The dramatic effect of the situation, which was created by Julia Tymoshenko's associates artificially, should not obscure authentic documentary facts and must not permit us compromise with crime.
I am fully persuaded, that You were not provided with sufficient information upon the matter of Julia Tymoshenko having inflicted an irretrievable damage to Ukraine, which affected moral state of the whole nation. Primarily, we wish that the fair trial will bring an answer to the question whether a prosecutor or a lawyer was more convincing. We believe, that this decision should not be made by Senate, to which Ukrainians express as much respect and trust, as Americans.
Dear Members of Congress, I am asking for your accepting my open letter, as if I asked to accept thoughts of a person, who believes in Higher Justice. I hope, that You will be led by it while adopting resolution in this hard case. I also believe, that my letter will serve Your reverting to the resolution on Ukraine, having obtained the facts.
I wish You and Your country further prosperity and success on the way of preserving peace and stability on our planet.
Yours Sincerely,
Renat Kuzmin

Honda Insight Diesel-Electric Hybrid Gets 92 MPG
An enterprising Honda Insight owner replaced the gasoline portion of the hybrid drivetrain with a diesel.
We don't cover too many do-it-yourself cars on here, simply because there are a lot of them. But this one is certainly unique. It's an old Honda Insight, the first hybrid sold in America (from 2000 to 2006, before Honda revamped it for 2009).
In this case, the enterprising owner replaced the gasoline engine portion of the hybrid drivetrain with a diesel sourced from a VW TDI. The result was an average of 92 miles per gallon over an 1,800 mile stretch, according to Slashdot, and 78 miles per gallon in a hilly portion of Washington state.
He said that the electric portion of the powertrain still isn't operating at 100 percent, and that when it does, he expects to top 100 mpg. Now diesel engines have emissions concerns, and the latest clean diesels mitigate that but are pretty expensive (often adding a few grand to the average car's price). Still, this would be the holy grail for hybrids if a major automaker could pull it off. Short 20-second video of the engine running after the break.

Teachers Union Sues to Halt Release of Teacher Evaluations
The teachers' union is going to court to stop the city from releasing reports rating teachers based on student test scores.
The suit seeks to block the media from obtaining what are called "teacher data reports." These reports determine how much of a difference an individual teacher makes on students' achievement, based on students' math and reading scores. But the union doesn't want teachers' names revealed to the public.
"There was an obligation on the behalf of the Department of Ed. to protect the teachers who were doing this work," says United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew. "And now they have gone back on their obligation."
Approximately 12,000 elementary and middle school teachers were rated by the city. Various media organizations have filed requests for the teacher data reports from 2008-2009, the latest year available, and the Department of Education was planning to release them this week. The DOE said it respects the union's right to sue, but that it believes the public has a right to this information and will release it Friday unless a court order stops it.
"That will be for a judge to decide," said Department of Education spokesperson Natalie Ravitz.
The union also claimed the formula for rating teachers based on how much of a difference they made on student test scores is "unreliable, often incorrect, subjective analyses dressed up as scientific facts." The measurements are supposed to isolate a teacher's impact on student performance by also factoring in poverty, race, gender and other issues. But the union called that "a complicated algorithm" and sent reporters the graphic below. The UFT said it obtained this from the Value Added Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which was hired by the city to create the teacher data reports. It's not know if this is the same formula now being used in NYC.
Ravitz, at the Department of Education, said teachers are trying to have it both ways. She noted that the United Federation of Teachers signed on to the state's winning Race to the Top application — which included a proposal to rate teachers in part with student test scores.
But Mulgrew said the city's teacher data reports rely too heavily on exams — exams the state has acknowledged were too easy until it made them tougher to pass this year.
"Parents have been told all their children are doing better than ever, and all of a sudden all of the test scores came crashing down," Mulgrew said. "Those invalid tests are the same tests being plugged into the unreliable formula [used by the city]."
Mulgrew claimed the union also looked at 20 of the teacher data reports and found 13 had corrupted data, such as teachers assigned to the wrong students. But he doesn't dismiss the use of data completely.
"Teachers want to do as much as they can to help children," he explained, referring to the union's agreement in 2008 to take part in the data reports. "We saw the possiblity of working inside a pilot to develop a program that might lead to a useful tool for us to help children, then we went and did it."
Mulgrew said the reports are being given too much weight, however, now that New York City is using them, in part, to determine teacher tenure.
"Value-added" reports like these are highly controversial. The Obama administration has encouraged states to use student test scores to measure teacher effectiveness, without making them the sole criteria. But academics have questioned their validity and say the jury's still out when it comes to creating the perfect formula. New York University Assistant Professor of Education Economics Sean Corcoran studied New York City's teacher data reports based on 2007-2008 test scores (he was not given the names of individual teachers or even schools). He found the biggest problem was imprecision.
"Each teacher's value-added estimate is exactly that, it's an estimate of their contribution to student learning," Corcoran said. "It's not clear that these models take into account other factors driving differences in achievement." Such as poverty or class size.
"So therefore you're left with a very big margin of error around the resulting estimates," he said.
But he added, "New York City is doing as good a job as any place with these models and I think the fundamental problem is with the models and not necessarily what New York City is doing."
In late August, the Los Angeles Times released its own analysis of 6,000 teachers. It used data collected by the district that had never been added up before to measure a teacher's individual impact on student achievement. Teachers' unions and several academics objected to releasing the names of individual teachers and questioned the validity of the data. But U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan praised the Times for releasing the reports.
Here in New York City, UFT President Michael Mulgrew suggested there wouldn't be an issue if the Department of Education redacted the names of the teachers from its reports."
That is not something they have offered us, and that is something we would look at," he said.

1640 book might fetch tens of millionsBreaking News
David N. Redden recited the opening of the 23rd Psalm the way he had memorized it as a child: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures."
Then he opened a weathered little book and read the version it contained: "The Lord to mee a shepheard is, want therefore shall not I. Hee in the folds of tender-grasse, doth cause mee downe to lie."
Those lines were in a volume published in Massachusetts in 1640 that amounted to the Puritans' religious and cultural manifesto. It was the first book printed in the colonies, and the first book printed in English in the New World. The locksmith who ran the hand-operated press turned out roughly 1,700 copies. The one in Mr. Redden's hands is one of only 11 known to exist.
Mr. Redden, who is the chairman of Sotheby's books department and has auctioned copies of Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence, among other historic and valuable documents, will sell that copy on Nov. 26. Sotheby's expects it to go for $15 million to $30 million, which would make it the most expensive book ever sold at auction — more expensive than a copy of John James Audubon's "The Birds of America" that sold in December 2010 for $11.54 million (equivalent to $12.39 million in 2013 dollars), the current record.

Curtis, whose players include 23 on the books of Premiership clubs headed by recently capped Michael Ricketts, his Bolton team mate Kevin Nolan and Newcastle's Northern Ireland international Aaron Hughes, will receive £750,000 in cash up front and shares with a notional value of £1.2m.
The balance will be paid in both cash and shares over the next two years depending on Curtis's business, Sports Player Management, growing its pre-tax profit of £716,000 last year at around 12% a year. Premier's boss Barry Gold, who runs the business with former West Ham player Billy Jennings, said: 'Today Premier moves up into the top division.'
Gold has seen Premier's AIM- quoted shares slip from 51 1/2p soon after flotation two years ago to today's 16 1/2p, up 1/2p.
He said that the enlarged group's 300-strong stable is weighted towards the Premiership and First Division and therefore should not be affected by the ITV Digital related funding crisis in the Football League.

I have searched in the 1901 and 1911 census for all marriages of John Clarke and Rose Clarke throughout the Country. There are no results in Dublin, these are the results in other parts of the Country:
1901 Census
The Corkish family had 6 children in 1901.
The Monaghnose family do not list any children, our grandmother would not have been born yet (1903) would she have had older siblings?
The Tullywaltry family had 5 children in 1901.
The Cloonflower family had 4 children in 1901.
1911 Census
These are 3 of the same families as listed in 1901 census.
Colette found this link for Rose Clark (without an e). If Clark without an e is the correct spelling (based on certs?) we should change the tree detail as it is currently spelt with an "e".
There are only 2 Rose Clarks in Dublin listed in 1911 census (this doesnt mean there were no more, just that 2 are in the census). One was 13 and 1 was 36. The 13 year old was the daughter. Get this, there is another daughter listed as Gillias, surely this is a typo and should be Lillias! I am going to download the PDF so I can have a look at the handwriting. We can notify the census if they have a spelling mistake.
Colette also found Rose in the 1901 Census, the only Rose Clark in Dublin at the time (age 3 in 1901). John Clark was born in Hanwell, England and must have died between the 1901 and 1911 census as Rose is listed as head of the household by 1911. Siste in law listed is verified from Lillias Clark;s birthcert so all of this info seems to be confirmable.

New Mexico Dept. of Health launches program to help parents and teens have 'the talk'
EL PASO, Texas - It's the conversation some parents dread, sex education.
The New Mexico Department of Health has launched a service that allows parents and teens to ask questions of their own before having "the talk" though cell phones.
The new text message service is called 'BrdsNBz', a play of words from 'the birds and the bees'.
New Mexico Health officials said the service is for young people between the ages 13 and 19.
Here are the instructions:
- Teens text the word 'NMTEEN' to the number 66746 along with a question.
- Within 24 hours they will receive a response from a certified health educator.
The instruction for parents are similar for parents:
- Text the word 'NMPARENT' to the number 66746 along with a question.
Officials say most responses also encourage teens to talk to their parents or a trusted adult.
"It educates teens, they learn some things maybe they didn't know, and it even helps them ask their parents better questions," said Valerie Fisher, Educational Project Officer for the New Mexico Department of Health's Family Planning Program.
The department is working to curb teen pregnancy rates in the state.
In 2011, the state was ranked no. 3 in the country with the most teen births.
"The numbers are declining - we're very proud of that, but New Mexico remains in the top three nationally over the past few years," said Fisher.

Playing the Angles: The Physics of Balls Bouncing Off of Surfaces *
AbstractThink of hitting a baseball, heading a soccer ball into the net, or hitting a tennis ball with a racquet. Where the ball goes depends on...what? You can set up a simple model to start your investigation. You'll need a marble, a flat piece of wood, a flat piece of cardboard, a pencil, a ruler, a protractor, and a level surface. Lay down the cardboard down on a level surface and set up the flat piece of wood at one edge. The wood will act like a wall, and you're going to roll the marble at it from different angles to see how the marble bounces off. On the cardboard, mark the starting point, the point where the marble strikes the wood, and a point along the marble's path as it rolls away from the wood. Use the pencil and ruler to connect the incoming and outgoing trajectories of the marble to the point where the marble bounced off the wood. Draw a line perpendicular to this point, and measure the angle between the perpendicular line and the incoming and outgoing trajectories. Do this for at least 10 trials at each of several different angles. What is the relationship between the two angles? Now apply what you learned to a real-life sports situation (like heading a soccer ball or hitting a baseball). In the real-life situation, the ball is no longer hitting a stationary target and bouncing off, it's hitting something that is moving. That makes it harder to measure the angles; just remember that what is important is measuring the angles at the point of impact. For a more advanced project, you may also want to consider how the spin of the ball can change its trajectory. You could choose to concentrate only on the spin imparted by the kick, the bat or the racquet, or you may want to get really complicated and consider the spin of the incoming ball as well. (Idea from Wiese, 2002, 31-34.)

Nicklas Bendtner's reputation for arrogance often precedes him but the Arsenal striker believes such preconceptions are inaccurate.
The 25-year-old only remained with the Gunners this season due to his high wage demands and Arsene Wenger's failure to sign another striker during the transfer window.
A period at Juventus began with accusations from within the club that he was "too fat" to play but despite failing to score in 10 appearances, Bendtner still left Italy with a Serie A winner's medal.
His reintroduction with Arsenal has been decidedly underwhelming but Bendtner believes his experiences on loan at Juve and Sunderland have changed him as a person, along with developments in his private life.
"First of all I had a baby, which changed me a lot," Bendtner told Arsenal Player. "I think a lot of people say that you have babies and they change you and stuff but for me I could really feel a big difference to my life. Being abroad showed me a lot of different things and different aspects of how to live and how to cope with problems. That has given me a lot more as a man for now.
"I don't like that I keep getting put up on comments I've made which have been wrongly said — that I still to this day have to see it and listen to it but apart from that I am not really too bothered.
"If people don't like me, fair enough. If people can't accept that sometimes you're young and make mistakes and move on, that's not up to me."
Among Bendtner's more infamous quotes was his 2010 declaration that "if you ask me if I am one of the best strikers in the world, I say yes because I believe it" but he now claims: "I basically said I think anybody who plays football in the world would love to try to be the best.
"I think that's a normal statement and that got [changed] to me saying I was the best player in the world. I don't know where that came from. I still listen to it now and again and still see it. If people want to believe that, then that's that."

Balfour Beatty and Jarvis are in line for the three-year deal to check for cracked and broken rails.
Jarvis was responsible for the set of points at Potters Bar which broke last May as a train passed over them, killing seven people and injuring many more. Balfour Beatty was heavily criticised for the poor state of the track at Hatfield which led to the derailment nearly two years ago in which four people died and 34 were injured.
The move, revealed by the Evening Standard, was condemned by Louise Christian, the solicitor acting for families of five Potters Bar victims.
She said: "A lot of my clients are going to be absolutely devastated by this because Jarvis are clinging to their belief that the Potters Bar crash was not caused by bad maintenance.
My clients feel that if there had been a full investigation into the Hatfield crash then the Potters Bar disaster would never have happened.
"But the Government is now so deeply involved with these two companies that it is utterly dependent on them to deliver key elements of the public-private partnerships. As a result, it is not willing to hold them to account."
Mick Rix, leader of train drivers' union Aslef, also condemned the move. "It is inconceivable to consider giving the likes of Jarvis and Balfour Beatty multi-million pound contracts for such a key area of safety on our railways," he said.
"Both these contractors should be prosecuted over Potters Bar and Hatfield for failing to maintain the railways in a safe condition, not handed millions of pounds that will line the pockets of directors and shareholders."
Mr Rix added: "The only way to increase safety is for Railtrack to take it back in-house and out of the hands of those who put profit before people."
Under the deal - for which contractors Amec and First Engineering are also competing - hitech equipment which can scan through a rail or welded joint would be used to find faults across the network.
Industry analysts predict that Jarvis and Balfour Beatty will win. Despite their involvement in Potters Bar and Hatfield, they remain leading contractors and carry out extensive work for Railtrack across the UK network.
The cracked and broken rails they could soon be investigating remain a major cause of delays and cancellations. There were more than 500 last year, although this figure has been reduced by almost half compared with five years ago.
The successful bidders are expected to be announced this week with work beginning next month. In the wake of the Hatfield disaster the track was found to be in such an "appalling" condition that a nationwide investigation was launched for cracked and broken rails. This resulted in nearly 1,000 speed limits being introduced, some as low as 20mph, as cracks were discovered.
Some sections of line were closed completely while the rails were replaced and the entire UK network suffered near collapse.
Investigations continue into both the Hatfield and Potters Bar disasters. Police have still to interview some of those concerned with and in charge of the tracks at Hatfield in October 2000.
Only after that is completed will the Crown Prosecution Service decide whether to bring individual or corporate prosecutions - or a combination of both.

SPRING plans are up in the air for Cups and Cox Plate fancy Sea Moon after the expensive import suffered a traumatic barrier mishap at Flemington on Saturday.
Leviathan owner Lloyd Williams informed Racing Victoria stewards yesterday morning that the $3 million horse had "pulled up sore and will be monitored for the next couple of days."
Sea Moon, the $4 second favourite on his Australian debut in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes, knuckled at the start of the 1600m race, his legs sprawling wildly in all directions.
Jockey Craig Williams, who was lucky to stay in the saddle, looked inquiringly down at the legs before setting out after the field, which already had a four or five length advantage.
Sea Moon, who had won five of his 10 career starts, worked hard to the line, beating two others home.
Lloyd's son Nick said the good news was that vets believed the soreness is muscular, not structural.
"You just have to hope all is well," Nick Williams said.
"He is sore behind, which is understandable when you look at what happened at the start.
"We will monitor him for the next three or four days to make sure all is well, and go from there one way or the other. It seems restricted to his muscles, not any breaks," he said.
Nick Williams said apart from the drama at the barrier, he was pleased with the entire's Australian debut.
"I've watched the replay plenty of times and he missed the start by almost five lengths, had to gather himself and was still beaten only five lengths."
Team Williams had nominated Sea Moon for The Metropolitan in Sydney on October 5 but Nick Williams said he would stay in Melbourne.
He said if all goes well Sea Moon will run next in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on October 5.
Sea Moon's dangerous jump from the barrier rekindled memories of a similar incident involving champion mare Black Caviar suffered a similar barrier mishap at her fifth race start in 2009 — ironically, at Flemington on this day in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes. She was away from the track for 20 weeks with torn chest muscles.
Such incidents have been known to damage a galloper's pelvis, hamstrings, muscles or back.
Sea Moon drifted from $13 to $17 for the Caulfield Cup and $13 to $15 for the Melbourne Cup with Sportsbet.com.au following Saturday's race. He remained at $21 for the Cox Plate.
He still needs to finish in the placings in a Group race over 1600m to satisfy the ballot to run in the Caulfield Cup.
Meanwhile Team Williams will start last year's Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on Saturday week, when he will clash with this year's Cup favourite Puissance De Lune.

Hey Rit –
This looks very useful! And thank you for open sourcing it.
But how do you link this up to an automated test suite? What I see here is the buttons changing color and changing text. How would I write a cucumber feature for this? Or in any test framework?

AG Myers & Construction Contractors Board FIle Lawsuits In Clackamas & Marion Courts Against Two Unlicensed Contractors
Attorney General Hardy Myers and Construction Contractors Board Administrator Craig P. Smith today announced the filing of two lawsuits against unlicensed construction contractors for allegedly taking money from consumers and performing shoddy work or not completing it. Named in the lawsuit filed today in Marion County Circuit Court is Kelly Lay, formerly of Battleground, Washington and now of Portland, doing business as K & L Heating & Air Conditioning and Above & Beyond Heating & Cooling. Hillsboro resident Timothy A. Bennett, doing business as Quality Concrete Work and Bennett & Son's Quality Concrete, is named in the lawsuit filed today in Clackamas County Circuit Court.
"Both of these contractors not only ignored repeated warnings from the Construction Contractors Board but failed to appear at CCB hearings and refused to work with the Department of Justice in signing any form of settlement agreement," Myers said. "Enough is enough. Victims must be made whole and both men must face the consequences of violating Oregon's laws."
CCB Administrator Craig Smith said, "Partnering with other state agencies, like the Department of Justice, is key to stopping those that disregard the law and making them accountable for their actions."
In the Lay lawsuit, the Attorney General and CCB allege that Lay, between April 2003 and August 2005, contracted to install furnaces and air conditioning systems in four jobs receiving more than $20,000 in payments. The victims complained of either poor workmanship or work never completed. CCB and Justice attempted to serve Lay with notices and final orders between 2004 and 2006 but were unable to locate him. Justice through the efforts of CCB eventually served Lay with a notice of Unlawful Trade Practices and a proposed resolution but he failed to sign and return the agreement.
Bennett's history of ignoring CCB and Department of Justice notices and proposals is similar to Lay's. As a concrete contractor, Bennett took more than $3,000 from two victims, performing shoddy work or failing to complete the work. In both cases, the consumers' claims with the CCB against any bond could not be processed because the defendants were unlicensed.
Both lawsuits ask the courts for judgments permanently enjoining Lay and Bennett from doing contractor work in Oregon without being licensed by the state. The lawsuits also ask for restitution for all named victims, attorney fees and costs and civil penalties of $25,000 per violation of the Unlawful Trade Practices Act as well as CCB licensing laws.
The CCB licenses more than 43,000 contractors, who are paid to repair, improve or build homes. Consumers wanting to verify a contractor's license may call (503) 378-4621 or online at www.oregon.gov/ccb.
Oregonians wanting information about consumer protection in their state may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392. Justice is online at www.doj.state.or.us.

I want to share a secret with my cat friends.....that mom and dad do not know.....nor do my cat siblings. I am a "Secret Agent", and I am on a mission. Every morning, when mom let's me and Stephano out of our room, and after breakfast is over.....I creep into laundry room, and I slay all the socks I can find. Only clean socks.....I do not touch the nasty gross dirty laundry....Ewww. I catch one of the socks, and I look to the left...and then to the right, to make sure no one can see me, and then I bring it to the secret location and drop it very quickly....so that no one can see me. I speak in code....my maine coon funny mewing language that only I can understand and fellow maine coon kitties. I will not rest until every sock has been stolen from the basket on the dryer, and they are all into the secret location. Sometimes the secret location is a giant heap in the middle of the living room floor, and sometimes, to shake things up, I just scatter them across the entire house, leaving a trail. If someone spots me with a sock in my mouth....like mom or dad....I quickly drop the sock and retreat to a safe location where I can't be seen.....because I am on a secret mission and cannot be seen. One day, to my HORROR, I found the sock basket was GONE!!!! So that day, I got into the laundry basket and took whatever I could find, which was some hand towels and even some t shirts. I must repeat this secret mission every day. I cannot tell you who I am working for....that is top secret. But I can tell you that as long as I live in this house, no one in this house will ever be harmed by one of these horrible, dangerous socks....not with me on the job.
Since my mom brought home Stephano, my new little stray brother that mom took in, I have been having so much fun! I actually play now. I admit, I was getting pretty lazy and the snotty teenager that lives in my house was calling me "obese". I'm not sure what that means, but it didn't sound nice the way she was saying it. But me and Stephano play all the time. We got lots of cat toys for Christmas and chase them around the house, and our favorite thing is chasing the red dot....mom plays that game with us for a few minutes before bedtime to wear us out so my little bro will go to sleep, but not for too long because she says she doesn't want to make us crazy with it. I am running and playing and chasing and when mom picked me up today, she said I even feel a little lighter. It is so nice to have a little brother to play with, it is making me feel like a kitten again!
Nothing scares me more than when someone rips off a piece of tin foil. Wow, you should see me take of running! And the plastic grocery store bags mom uses when she scoops my litter box, wow, those are super scary too! There are some really terrifying things in this house, but none as terrifying as Beep! I sleep in my kid Laura's room at night when I go to bed, and Beep is out all night. Then Beep goes up and I come out at 5:30 when mom and dad get up and get ready for work and Laura (my kid) gets ready for school, and I stay out until about 11:00. This is a fun time, I usually end up curling up next to my doberman, Greta, we are snuggle buddies. Then I'm back in my room until about 4:00, when mom lets me out for dinnertime, and Beep goes up, and I get to stay out until about 9:00 and then it's my bedtime and I'm back in with Laura. It's a crazy game of rotating cats all day long, but it works out ok for us. I wish that one day Beep would not try to beat me up, and every once in a while she does get loose while I'm out, and most of the time someone catches her before she lays the smackdown on my butt, but it does happen once in a blue moon. Cat fur flies! And sometimes I even get a few good licks in on that beast of a cat! But mom says I am the sweetest, most lovable kitty she has ever known, and I am pretty much a sweetheart to my new little brother, Stephano, although I am trying to let him know that "I" was here first and "I" am in charge, not him, but I'm pretty harmless. I think overall, my life here is pretty good.

Phil Woolas today launched his high court bid to overturn a decision stripping him of his Commons seat, saying that freedom of speech at elections was at stake.
As the former Labour immigration minister arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the unprecedented case, he told reporters he was "hopeful" that he could clear his name.
A specially convened election court declared the general election result in Oldham East and Saddleworth void earlier this month.
The court removed Woolas as MP for Oldham East and banned him from standing for election for three years after finding him guilty of deliberately lying about a rival, Liberal Democrat Elwyn Watkins.
Today Woolas's legal team asked three senior judges to rule that the election court misdirected itself in law and made a flawed decision.
As it is the first claim of its kind, Lord Justice Thomas, Mr Justice Tugendhat and Mrs Justice Nicola Davies have also got to decide in a two-day hearing whether they have power to hear his fast-tracked application for judicial review.
The legal challenge has been brought on for hearing as a matter of urgency to ensure that the seat does not go too long without an MP.
Labour – which suspended Woolas from the party after the election court's decision – said it would delay calling a fresh election pending the legal fight.
Woolas is accused by lawyers for Watkins of employing a strategy "of the basest kind" to get elected.
He was found guilty of illegal practices under election law over comments made in his campaign material that Watkins tried to "woo" the votes of Muslims who advocated violence and that he had refused to condemn extremists who advocated violence against the Labour ex-minister.
The election court judges ruled that, although made in the context of an election campaign, the comments clearly amounted to attacks on his opponent's "personal character or conduct" and Woolas, who beat Watkins by just 103 votes in a bitter campaign, had "no reasonable grounds for believing them to be true and did not believe them to be true".
In his submissions to the high court today, Gavin Millar QC argued that the election court had misdirected itself on the true meaning and effect of the words "personal character or conduct".
As a result it had wrongly held that Woolas's statements, which were about the "political conduct" of his opponent, were also statements about his personal character or conduct.
Millar contended that the election court's interpretation of provisions of the 1983 Representation of the People Act was inconsistent with free speech principles and violated Woolas's right to freedom of expression under article 10 of the European convention on human rights.
Millar argued: "It gives insufficient protection, in particular, to his freedom to attack his opponent in relation to his campaigning and his attempts to win the support of voters at the election."
Helen Mountfield QC, appearing for Watkins, states in a written argument before the judges that Oldham East and Saddleworth was a constituency "in which the divide between Muslim and non-Muslim had seen riots in 2001 and deep religious divisions since then". She added: "It is no part of the law to protect freedom of expression where that freedom is abused to make one section of the community angry about, and fearful of, another on the basis of falsehoods."
Defending the decision of the election court, Mountfield said it was "conspicuously cautious in its analysis of the facts of this case and its application of the law to those facts".
It was not only entitled but "undoubtedly right" when it made its decision.
Many Labour MPs have rallied round Woolas and contributed to a fighting fund amid open revolt over the leadership's decision to "hang him out to dry".
Woolas said he was "humbled" and "blown away" by the support he had received.
Constituents, MPs and party members raised more than £30,000 in 48 hours, with donations ranging from £5 to £1,000.
Harriet Harman, the deputy Labour leader, came under fire from colleagues for cutting the former immigration minister adrift and signalling there was no way back for him.
She said after the election court hearing that Woolas had no future as a Labour MP even if he succeeded in overturning the ruling because lies had "no place" in the party's campaigning.
But Labour MPs said it was unfair to write him off while he was still in the process of appealing against the ruling – airing their criticisms at a party meeting and in the media.
Simon Hughes, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: "Labour's leaders had spoken but since then many Labour MPs have come out in support of Phil Woolas both on and off the record.
"The judgment of the court was clear: Phil Woolas made statements which were not about Liberal Democrat politics but personal attacks on our candidate's character and conduct which he had no reasonable grounds for believing were true and did not believe were true.
"Residents in Oldham East and Saddleworth and across the country will not understand why the Labour party won't say clearly, with one voice, that there is no place in British politics for this kind of behaviour."

I am improving so much. My mommy confused the heck out of me with the potty pads, but I'm getting the hang of going outside. ( yay, me.) But she makes me use the pads when shes at school, and at night.
Heres my schedule right now:
6 a.m. - go potty
10-11 a.m. - HER mommy takes me out.
3 p.m. - mommy gets home & takes me out.
3:15 p.m - mommy takes me out again.
5:00 p.m - mommy takes me out.
7:00 p.m - mommy takes me out.
9:00 p.m- mommy takes me out.
3:00 a.m. - mommy wakes up & takes me out in the freezing cold.
She is very consistent with me and plays with me a whole bunch outside. I love her a whole bunch and I've been doing a great job!
Thanks for your time.

Making Sense of Sex
Full Product Description
This book is about listening to what writers were saying about sex in early Judaism and Christianity -- ancient words surprisingly relevant for today. It functions as both a summary and a conclusion to William Loader's five previous books on sexuality in a form accessible to those who may not have a background knowledge of early Judaism and Christianity. It also contains a useful subject index to those five previous volumes.In examining thoroughly all the relevant writings and related evidence of the Greco-Roman period, Loader dialogues with scholarship related to each writing in order to make his conclusions as objective as possible. By enabling the reader to listen respectfully to these ancient texts, "Attitudes towards Sexuality in Early Jewish and Christian Literature" provides a basis for informed discussion of sexual issues today.
Making Sense of Sex by William Loader was published by Eerdmans Publishing Company in September 2013. The ISBN for Making Sense of Sex is 9780802870957.

How much do new dormers cost?
Looking for cost estimates: I'm adding a third floor master suite and want to build 3 dormers to open up the attic. One is gabled (8 ft x 15 ft), one is a shed (4 ft x 10 ft) and one is doghouse (6 ft x 6 ft).
Dormers can cost a lot more than you think. Extra engineering for loads, extra framing, drywall, window, siding, roofing, etc. Hard for anyone here to give you any idea really.
Thanks Ron. I did do that and I have the designs. i just wanted to know within the forum if the estimates are out of whack.
thanks Six. all in for a 1450 sq ft house what you would think it would cost? any thoughts? not trying to put you on the spot but just looking for ball park
Impossible for us to answer
Were these decide after construction began?
Have no idea where you are, what building codes are like, how much inspections would cost and no drawings? Too many variables to bid from afar. Guessing would not be fair to you or other reading this thread.
Just a thought: Ask around in your area as to how often people with dormers have to have repair work done on them such as window sills rotting out, and the transitions from the roof lines leaking causing more damage. Maybe it's just my area but I get over a dozen calls a year from homeowners wanting repairs to dormers or to front porches with water damage caused by improper roof flashing/roof transitions. Something about dormers and South Ga. weather just doesn't work.
No one here has visited the site.
I get requests like this when I see a customer about a job.
Customer- How much will this kitchen cost?
Me- Have you picked out cabinets?
Me-Have you decided on appliances, flooring, lighting?
Customer-No, but I just want a ballpark figure.
Me- Are we combining the 2 rooms into one big space
Customer- I don't know yet.. Just a ballpark figure
And on and on and on, ad nauseum.
If you need confirmation, keep calling contractors until you're happy.
$1000 and two weeks. At least that's what I always tell my husband before I start a project :wink:

Fundraiser brings in $1,100 for fire victims
When three Indiana University of Pennsylvania students lost their house and all of their belongings a week ago today in an early-morning fire on Locust Street in Indiana Borough, friends were quick to lend a helping hand.
Fellow IUP students Ashley Warren, Gina Murdock, Josh Marshall, Luke Lundberg, Kelsey McDade and Amber Leddon, some of whom live next door to the fire victims, almost immediately started organizing what would turn out to be one of the biggest "house parties" IUP may have seen — all for a good cause.
"We couldn't believe that our friend's house burned down," Murdock said. "We thought, what could we do to help?"
Next they knew, they were out walking the streets of Indiana, asking for donations and getting the word out for the party they were going to throw at their house on Saturday.
Al Patti's, The Ironwood Grill, Fox's Pizza, Tres Amigos, Sheetz, The Coney, Giant Eagle Express, Giant Eagle, Holiday Distributors, Spaghetti Benders and Chappy's Place all contributed what they could to the cause — gift cards, T-shirts, bracelets to sell, cases of water and clothing.
Planning for the "party with a twist," as Lundberg called it, was rushed, with just two days to spare before the event, but with a team effort they pulled together and accomplished many tasks. In order to get the word out, the group posted messages all over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
"It couldn't have been a one-person job," Marshall said. "We were all on the phone at the same time doing different things."
The party, which they called "IUP Nation Unite," brought in a crowd of about a hundred people, according to Lundberg, and raised more than $1,100 for the three fire victims.
"We asked everyone attending the party to bring a donation of $5 and any items they had that could help, like perishables, toiletries and clothing," Lundberg said. "Before we knew it, our 'house party' was a complete success."
"We would really like to acknowledge all of the Indiana and IUP community, friends, businesses, who helped," he said.
A major role-player in the event, Lundberg said, was fellow student Devon Beer, who gave fire victim and musician Matt Toland his own guitar after Toland's was destroyed, and fire victim Dustin Beck a new hockey jersey. In addition, Lundberg said, he spent the whole day managing the event and donation of money.
Since the fire destroyed the home, victims Toland, Beck and Shawn Haines are staying with family and friends.
"We're still getting stuff," Lundberg said. "Random people are dropping stuff off, just stopping by to bring things."
Lundberg also said that, at the party, people were not hesitant to donate more than the requested $5.
"That's one good thing about a small town," Lundberg said. "Everyone wants to contribute and help out."
By using the party as a way to raise money for their friends, Lundberg said, they were bringing light to a traumatizing situation. The event created a positive experience in a terrible situation.
After mentioning that it seemed as if IUP students get a bad "rep" for their partying, Marshall said "we can party for a good cause."
"When times get rough, people can always come together and handle the situation," Lundberg said. "Even if they are a bunch of broke college kids."

heroesofcrash posted a topic in Heroes Of Crashtheheroesofcrash.com Enticia's trying to be a better person. She really is. But those brownies do NOT make it easy. When I first started drawing Enticia's boyfriend harem as featureless figures, it wasn't out of sheer laziness (although that was the primary reason). Part of it was because I hadn't decided who was actually IN her harem at the time. While I do have a good chunk of her harem figured out now, I must admit that I like the symbolic notion of her boyfriends practically being a part of the background, which is pretty telling about her relationship with them...! By the way, it's hard to tell, but Bastion has a very slight, very subtle, purple tinge to him in that last panel, in order to show that he's still part of the harem, even if he does stand out to Enticia a lot more. I'm trying to put my characters in more dramatic poses by using exaggerated lines of action; I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in panel #2.
Hey, I haven't written one of these in a while.

Carson City-Crystal looks to continue momentum from last win
CARSON CITY — The Carson City-Crystal Eagles are off to one of their better starts in recent years.
At 2-2 overall, there is room for improvement, but the Eagles are hoping momentum from a last-second win at Belding carries over to today and the new year.
"We hope to make the Belding game a stepping stone," Eagles coach Ryan Fritz said. "The last couple minutes of the game we played pretty well. We showed signs of it this year, playing well, but we have gone back and forth."
So far, the Eagles have alternated losses and victories in their first four games. The Eagles will be shooting for their first winning streak today when they face Central Montcalm at Shepherd as part of an annual holiday tournament.
Fritz said defense is his team's key to playing well.
"I think we play better defense when we are playing well," Fritz said. "Obviously, if the other team doesn't score you have a better chance to win.
"And then rebounding, which is finishing a defensive possession and executing on the offensive end," he added.
In terms of the offense, the Eagles prefer to work inside-out.
"We have to get the ball inside to our big fellas. Then we can work from an inside-out standpoint," Fritz said. "We don't need to force shots, but need to run the offense, being patient and understanding what kind of looks we want to get."
The win over Belding came courtesy of two late game three-pointers by senior Maxxton Jolls. The final one gave the Eagles a 47-46 win on Dec. 20.
Fritz is hoping the win improves the confidence of the team as they move forward.
"I think it will. We had a couple of days off during the break," he said. "We came back to work yesterday (Monday) and the kids wanted to practice and were ready to go. They were a little out of shape, but they were ready to go."
Winning has improved the atmosphere at practice. In recent years, the Eagles have been winless during Christmas break.
"A couple of the guys came up to me and said it's so much more fun being 2-2 at the break instead of the last couple of years," Fritz said. "We are 2-2, but we are winning ball games and we are in ball games."
Fritz said winning is contagious. Building a winning culture has been a goal of all Eagles coaches, from Jason Gray in footbal, Travis Wilcox in baseball, Kacy Datema in wrestling to Larry Farmer in girls basketball.
Farmer has his team 6-0 overall. The girls success is another rallying point for the Eagles boys.
"I think it's a culture thing if your teams are winning," Fritz said. "It's fun to see somebody in your school having success. The wrestlers are doing well, the girls are doing well and the boys are having a better season. It's an infectious thing when your team wins."
The Eagles face Central Montcalm today at 2 p.m. today and will host Dansville when the season resumes after break on Jan. 6.
