New York has launched its own bike-hire scheme to fanfare, controversy - and a £1.9m lawsuit against it.
Riders can now use 6,000 of the light blue Citi Bikes in the first wave of what will eventually be 10,000 bicycles at 600 stations.
Residents and tourists alike are expected to ride them in what New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration claims will burnish the city's 'image as a green leader'.
But just as in London, there has been quite the row over their arrival and the scheme has created an alliance of enemies including taxi drivers, business owners and street vendors.
Wealthy residents of the narrow, cobblestone Bank St in the West Village, where the likes of Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter live, filed a $3m (£1.9m) lawsuit against the bike's sponsors Citibank saying the racks are a danger to children and the elderly.
They said they will lower the value of their multi-million dollar apartments and claimed that the station and stone slab already installed was attracting dog mess.
The least expected protest came from artists who said that a 32-bike rack in Petrosino Square in SoHo would mean that there would no more public art there as it was taking up all the space.
Among them was Greta Watson who branded the racks 'lazy and scathingly inconsiderate about the beauty of the city'.
Those supporting Citi Bike say the complaints are just a form of Nymbyism, or New York's particular strain of Nimbyism.
And if you talk to anyone in the Bloomberg team, they will tell you that it was never meant to be thus.
Although a new subway line is currently under construction in Manhattan, Citi Bike is the first large scale transportation system in New York in more than half a century.
It is supposed to be a prestigious feather in the cap for the city as it is the largest such scheme in the US.
Bike riding in New York doubled between 2007 and 2011 on the back of an expansion of bike lanes to 700 miles.
And crucially Citi Bike will cost the city nothing as private companies including Citigroup and Mastercard are paying $41m (£27m) and $6.5m (£4.3m) respectively to run it.
London's scheme is predicted to cost £225m of taxpayer's money by 2016, far more than the £50m sponsorship deal with Barclays which runs until 2018.
When it comes to hire fees, for just $9.95 (£6.20) riders in New York will be able to rent the three-gear bikes for 24 hours of unlimited riding, although that is far more than the £2 equivalent for London.
An annual pass in New York however is much cheaper and will be $95 (£62) compared to £90 for London.
Most observers agree that it will be a success and New Yorkers will adjust, although street vendors they are outraged at being moved on from their hard-won patches to make way for the bike stations.
Some bike kiosks have been defaced with posters in protest and residents in one apartment block claimed that ambulances could not get to the front door because of the racks.
One especially aggrieved resident went so far as to make up a sign calling the New York Department of Transportation, which is behind the programme, the 'Department of Tyranny'.
New Yorkers cannot even take comfort from a snappy name for Citi Bike and, try as they might, 'Mike's Bikes' in honour of Mayor Bloomberg has not caught on.
Some cheeky ex-pats have suggested that, as the scheme so strongly resembles that in London they should look to the UK and call them what they are - Boris Bikes.

Fixing the AC
Last year I purchased a wonderfully maintained '87 325ic. After replacing the exhaust system, the only thing left to fix is the AC . I've heard there are two different versions of compressors on '87s, one of which is compatible with the new coolant, and one that isn't. Any idea on how to start figuring out, first what to do, and second, roughly how much it will cost?
You may be referring to the Denso compressor. The Behr compressor is definitely not compatible.
Pennyise response to A
How would I determine which of the two compressors I have?
The compressor should be labeled.
Here is a link to a thread I started showing both compressors: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showpos...58&postcount=9
Response to Penny
I wanted to thank you. After looking at the photos you attached, I went home and wiped off the label to see what I had. Mine didn't look like any of the pictures. Surprise! Someone had already converted it to an R134a compressor.
Bottom line is that I stopped by my favorite mechanic and he is going to recharge it with dye to find the leak and expects a very reasonable repair charge.
Sure beats the replacement costs I was being quoted.
Again, thanks for the help.

You can't spell help without HP.
The multinational computer giant has offered up its mobility policy for the world to see, answering calls for industry leaders to share successful bring-your-own-device policies with federal agencies and others.
Bryan Coapstick, HP's regional mobility leader, posted the company's policies on the website of the American Council for Technology/Industry Advisory Council's Advanced Mobility Working Group, a coalition of federal and industry execs focused on mobility.
"We always try, through organizations like ACT/IAC, to collaborate with the open exchange of ideas – it's core to our culture," Coapstick told FCW.
While feds have been willing to communicate on successes and failures in BYOD policy development, industry leaders have been reluctant to share information to keep their competitive edge, according to Tom Suder, co-chair of the Advanced Mobility Working Group, as reported in an earlier FCW article.
"I really commend HP for stepping up and contributing," Suder wrote in an e-mail to FCW. "They have a strong government leadership that really tries to partner with government. Maybe they took it as a challenge to step it up? (It's a) really good example of industry/government collaboration."
HP's mobility policy, updated frequently over the past two years, applies to a substantial portion of its 300,000 employee workforce. Upwards of one-third of HP's employees use their own devices for work-related purposes.
The policy limits what devices employees can use and emphasizes security, controlling data accessible by employees, Coapstick said. "We're a security company, so understanding who wants to do what, from what, and from where, is part of our core," he said.
Many agencies, meanwhile, have yet to develop specific BYOD policies. Only 11 percent of 300 recently surveyed federal employees from numerous agencies reported their agencies have a BYOD policy in place, according to a recent Telework Exchange report.

My Blink 182 Memorabilia
Welcome, this is my Blink Memorabilia!
Sixteen years ago I was first introduced to blink 182. Two years later I purchased their discography on cd and that was the year my parents separated. I quickly started listening to more blink (and weird al lol) and keeping the magazine clippings and whatever else I could find. Over the years I've been able to collect almost everything blink related I've ever wanted. All that is missing is meeting the guys themselves!
I will be adding things sporadically as i buy them (and find the time lol). All new things added to my site will be on the "Newly Added" list for a while. Make sure to keep checking in often for awesome new additions! Everything I have for sale can be found on Instagram under #blinkforsale.

Venting bathroom through dryer?
I have a main floor bathroom without a vent that I would like to just run down the wall and Y connect to the dryer vent outside (the dryer vent is almost directly below the place I would stick the bathroom vent. This seems like a better way than to put it up through the roof or out through the wall (and thus have to deal with a host of other issues which I'm not really keen on tackling right now). Any problems with just running it down and connecting it to the dryer out? TIA...
Yes. If you make a y-connected vent system, your dryer will vent half-outside, and half into the bathroom when the bath fan isn't running.
Your bath fan will vent half into the dryer, and half outside when the dryer isn't running.
Furthermore, you'll blow lint into your bathroom, and possibly carbon monoxide if you have a gas dryer.
It's not a good idea. Use separate vent outlets.
Can I not just put those little flap things on the incoming ends of the Y that are shut when no air is blowing, but open when air is blowing?
I had used some previously, for a related issues (where I was venting non-moist air out of a dryer duct along with moist air from the dryer) without much of a problem.
I'm mostly worried that running the vent down a floor would have some unforseen issue....
Thanks for the comments...
I was able to do something simular. But my second bathroom is on the same level as the dryer. I did some testing first, to see how it would work out.
I only hooked up one backdraft damper on the dryer side to a Y fitting. Its important to install any backdraft fitting parallel to the flow. I let the dryer run with heat. After 10 minutes, I felt the metal exhaust duct about 6 feet away from the Y fitting, that is connected to the bathroom exhaust and it was warm. This tells me that heat, moisture and possibly some lint will work its way back to the bathroom. Then I added another backdraft damper to the bathroom ductwork in parallel to the flow. This created enough resistance to make all of the dryer flow go out its intended exhaust. When I felt the bathroom duct again, it was cool to the touch.
When you install this, do not use any type of foil or vinyl duct to either the dryer or the bathroom fan. Use smooth metal duct only because foil and vinyl are not as fire resistant as metal duct. Exception: If you were installing an exhaust from a bathroom directly to the outside, then it is permissable. But they also cause more resistance to the flow then smooth metal duct.
They are also not approved for use on dryers.
One last thing: Look for the dampers that have a single flapper valve rather then the 3 or 4 flappers that I see now in the home centers. The single flapper type has less resistance to the flow. You might find these in plumbing shops. Using your finger, check to see if the valve will open completly parallel to the flow. There may be a small bit of plastic actiing as a stopper. Use a file to file it smooth, if you have to. You will probally have to remove the valve from the assembly, but it is easy enough to do.
When your ready to install, make sure you have the damper flow facing towards the exhaust. Mistakes can happen. I put arrow marks on my dampers before I installed them. Install the dampers in a way that will make it easy to remove them in case you need to do future maintainace around them. Then test your installation.

Pixel Stickers
by Jon Kay
Look, my uncle works at—well, you know where, he'd get mad if I said—and he's seen the new system, and it's nine bits. One more than the old ones. Everything looks totally different.
Jon Kay made these Pixel Stickers based on some drawings I sketched out, and everything's basically accurate. You can buy Pack #1 and Pack #2 separately or get them both together (along with a bonus pixel heart sticker), which is 18 bits. 19 bits, counting the heart.
The controller has a hundred buttons. But I've already said too much.

Landowners along Highway 10 west of the Missoula airport are concerned that their drinking water may be contaminated by raw sewage dumped on private land on a nearby hillside. One landowner, who asked not to be identified, has been bleaching his well for several months and hauling drinking water from another source. He suspects that his well was infected by the sewage, which has been dumped on the hillside near Butler Creek for years.
Though pumping raw sewage from private septic tanks and dumping it directly onto the ground sounds disgusting and potentially harmful to human health, it is, in fact, legal and highly regulated.
Paul Hanson owns the 1,600 acres of land in question. Two septic companies pay him a small fee to dump about 20 loads a month on some 200 acres.
"It's been going on for 10 years," Hanson says. "This [complaint] is the first I've heard of it."
Private septic pumping businesses have three options when it comes to getting rid of sewage. They can dump it into municipal sewage treatment plants, onto land owned by the person having his septic tank cleaned or onto another piece of land by agreement with the landowner.
"What the septic pumpers will do is find some farmer whose land is lying fallow" and contract privately for disposal rights, says Ed Thamke, who handles such complaints for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
The DEQ licenses all septic pumping businesses and regulates the disposal process. County sanitarians must approve the disposal site.
Sewage cannot be dumped where food crops are being raised, and dairy cows cannot be grazed on the land. Sewage cannot be dumped on steep slopes or within 100 feet of drinking water. Hanson's land meets all the criteria set by the state; he owns beef cattle but no dairy cows, and he moves the herd around to keep it away from the disposal sites.
Even if domestic wells are contaminated by bacteria, there's probably no way to trace the contamination to its source, he says. If domestic wells along Highway 10 are contaminated by bacteria from raw sewage dumped uphill, if would be difficult to prove its source, says Thamke. Water moving underground can be diverted by natural barriers, and may not flow in an obvious, river-bound direction. In this case, there was once a rendering plant and feed lot on property near the wells in question. If the wells are contaminated, as landowners fear, the contamination might be from those old sources.
Nevertheless, the DEQ investigates every complaint, and accepts anonymous complaints as well.

A historically bad preseason gave way to a record-setting regular season opener for the New York Jets. Following an exhibition period which saw New York become the first NFL team since the 1977 Atlanta Falcons not to score a touchdown in its first three preseason contests, the Jets set a franchise mark for most points scored in a season opener, hanging up 48 points on the Buffalo Bills.
While the offensive outburst shocked both the national media and football fans alike, quarterback Mark Sanchez remained upbeat through the ups and downs of training camp.
"I'm just confident in this team," Sanchez told reporters on Sunday. "I'm confident in the coaching staff. I told everybody early in OTA's, there's a good vibe going around the building. I don't know what it is. You can't quite put your finger on it. Rex made a great comment to us. At some point this season, everybody in our locker room is going to see that we're all bleeding green. We're really playing for each other. That's the most important thing."
Sanchez leading the Jets out of the tunnel on Sunday
Sanchez and company dominated the Bills in all facets of the game in what many are calling the fourth-year gunslinger's best performance as a pro. Despite his unit's futility during the preseason, Sanchez had a hunch that things were moving in the right direction leading up to Sunday's home opener.
"I knew we were really close in the preseason," noted Sanchez's of the offense's progress. "Did I know it was 48 points? No, I didn't necessarily know that, but that's just a great day of execution. We still left some plays out there so it wasn't perfect. (We've) still got a lot of work to do but I'm really proud of our effort and the way we moved the ball today."
With plenty of doubt cast over Sanchez's ability to coexist with Wildcat quarterback Tim Tebow, the former USC Trojan put any thought of a potential quarterback controversy to bed with his spectacular outing on Sunday. Coming off a 2011 season littered with locker room turmoil and dissension, Sanchez appears determined to promote team camaraderie and selflessness this time around.
"I bought in," admitted Sanchez. "Just like everybody on the team. Not just to the Wildcat, but to the feeling of us as a team and a unit. Transcending football, we're a family. We're a tight-knit group. I knew Tim (Tebow) could come in and help us. That's just the tip of the iceberg. We've barely seen anything yet, so we've got plenty more in our grab bag of Wildcat. Tim's an explosive guy, so he can help this offense. He did a great job today".
With the Jets enjoying a sense of vindication that a dual-quarterback system could indeed work in the NFL, Sanchez refuses to allow the critics and naysayers to influence his team-first mindset.
"One game isn't the season, stated Sanchez. "It's not to prove anything to anybody else other than our team. Regardless of what the opinions are outside of our building, they don't affect us. That's the most important thing moving forward, is worrying about each other (and) caring about each other."
Tagged as a circus-type organization by the media, Gang Green took a first major step towards shedding that label with Sunday's outstanding showing.
"I know we're a special group," said Sanchez. "I've known that from the jump, but I think we're starting to realize it. It's important to keep this whole thing in perspective. It's a great way to start, it's exactly what you want in your home opener, but we'll celebrate this one for a couple more hours, then, we've got to get ready for Pittsburgh, because that's going to (be) another tough challenge (and) on the road, (it is) never an easy place to play. So, we've got a (long way) to go here."

Oklahoma Pushes Back Against EPA Emissions Regulations
Oklahoma, a state with deep ties to coal and oil, is asserting its right to resist new regulations on carbon dioxide emissions. It's a squabble that escalated after President Obama outlined the cornerstone of his climate policy in a speech at Georgetown University last June.
"Today, about 40 percent of America's carbon pollution comes from our power plants," said the President. "But here's the thing: Right now, there are no federal limits to the amount of carbon pollution that those plants can pump into our air. None. Zero. We limit the amount of toxic chemicals like mercury and sulfur and arsenic in our air or our water, but power plants can still dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the air for free. That's not right, that's not safe, and it needs to stop."
The President has since instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to issue newly proposed regulations on power plant emissions on June 2.
But Oklahoma is saying not so fast. Attorney General Scott Pruitt and state lawmakers are questioning the EPA's legal authority to impose limits state by state. Attorney General Pruitt has already sued the EPA in a dispute over regional haze, and he says there may be more lawsuits ahead unless emissions regulations are checked.

Go ahead, ask him anything. Is it acceptable to drop a few ice cubes into wine--even red? What's the best thing for less than $30 that pairs well with steak, fish and salad? Is there really a difference between Australian and New Zealand wines? He answers all questions with an unflappable grace and a frightening level of knowledge. Yep, frightening. He can pair wine within any price range and with any dish on the menu. Even when patrons argue over red or white, he manages to find a compromise suiting all parties. Press him on product from any region or vintage and he's likely to launch into a lengthy discussion of vineyards, soil, weather, fermentation technique--stuff you'll forget in a matter of minutes but wish you could remember the next time you stop by Sigel's. Wine, after all, changes from year to year, and to keep up requires an astounding level of devotion. For wealthy patrons, he builds wine cellars and stocks them with collectible vintages. For the rest of us, Lincicome happily points out value items, great-tasting wines for a decent price.
Lemonade. That's what Iris is. Here are the lemons: a space that has been home to dreadful or dreadfully performing restaurants over the last decade; a restaurant owner (Susie Priore) who fled to California to get a master's degree so that she could join the Peace Corps and teach English in Morocco; a Peace Corps mission that was soured by the prospect of a blond American woman in a Muslim country post-September 11; a Dallas restaurant mission spawned to pay off the loans used to acquire the master's degree to service the Peace Corps mission. What kind of person opens a restaurant to get out of debt? Someone who knows that the best restaurants are comfortable, engaging neighborhood haunts with food that intrigues but doesn't frighten. Chef Russell Hodges is a down-to-earth chap who comes up with dishes like a shrimp cocktail composed of two shrimp as thick as sumo wrestler thumbs surrounded by bread points, salmon carpaccio and a cleaved hard-boiled egg. Delicious foie gras, too. And rack of lamb. Don't forget the pan-seared sea bass with cannellini beans.

The browning of a chicken is an essential skill; just ask Julia Child. (Well, you could have asked her until a few months ago, anyway.) Mom told us the keys to a well-browned bird: Use quality olive oil, enhanced with butter; let the pieces warm to room temperature so they brown evenly; and dry the skin first with paper towels. Got that? Now we don't know exactly what Ali Baba Cafe does to concoct its "Golden Chicken"; we just know it's the most excellent chicken, a minor poultry miracle. The menu describes it as rotisserie chicken, but it's nothing like the squishy-textured stuff you get at fast-food joints. It's a half-chicken, and the skin, finished under the broiler, is perfectly crisp and spiked with garlic, lemon and spices; beneath it, the tender flesh is bursting with the flavor of...chicken. Yeah. Some chicken does have flavor. Try it with a side of fluffy rice pilaf or hummus; just get it when it's hot, because it isn't quite the same when it's steamed for a while in the takeout box.
We can't quite figure out the ownership status of ZuZu. It used to be a chain; now it isn't. Each of the restaurants bearing the name ZuZu in Dallas has a different owner--or so we were told--and some have different menus. Well, we can vouch for three places named ZuZu, one in Addison and two in Dallas, and all carry the original ZuZu menu of "handmade" Mexican food. And all are superb, much better than you'd expect for a counter-service joint. Try the grilled, marinated chicken or the "Poncho Dinner," which consists of a chicken enchilada, a beef taco and a chicken flauta. Everything appears to be made fresh, and you have a variety of salsas to accent your meal, including a bracing tomatillo version. Wash it all down with fresh-squeezed lemon-limeade.
As if we have the dough for dinner at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse ($75 per person, minimum) or other such expense-account establishments. Nope, that wouldn't be us. Still, we do appreciate something a cut above your local Outback, with the waitstaff's forced familiarity, those stupid commercials and the decent but not great steaks. That's why we keep going back to Culpepper Steakhouse, just 25 minutes from downtown on the other side of Lake Ray Hubbard. We admit we have a soft spot for hunting-lodge décor; must be our Northern roots. We like the stone walls, the dark wood trim, the taxidermy menagerie and the Holstein hides. And we love the steaks--mesquite-grilled to perfection, like it was 1990 again--and available in a delicious array of "tops" and "bottoms," sauces such as the caramelized shallot, herb and Dijon compound butter. Add to that the best mashed potatoes in the area; delicious, skinny, fresh-cut fries; and professional, non-snooty service, and this is a steak house where you get excellent quality and value.
We watched for months as that place slowly went up off Highway 67. When they put up the sign, when cars started appearing in the parking lot, we started the calling. Are you open yet? OK, but when will you open? At last, a Pappadeaux opened in Southern Dallas--specifically, in Duncanville. It instantly became the No. 1 dining destination for us South-siders. In fact, if you go there on a Sunday, when the church crowds arrive in a steady stream, four generations at an extended table, you'll glimpse a perfect cross section of Dallas County's upwardly mobile black middle class. The Baptists come in the first wave, then the holy rollers at 1 p.m. or 2 p.m., all decked out in fancy hats and colorful suits. It couldn't be a happier place: Though there's usually a wait, everyone leaves satisfied after filling up on Pappadeaux's exquisitely fresh, generously portioned seafood plates. We like living in Southern Dallas. Now, we finally have a reason to dine there, too.

2011 Draft
2011 Draft Prospects Rundown: 3/15
2011 Draft
Here is a recap of how each of the top 2011 draft prospects did this past week. Click on their names to go to their tracker pages.
Rendon had a horrible week at the plate, combining for a .190/.320/.333 line in 21 at-bats. It was a rare poor performance for him, as he had more strikeouts (5) than hits (4). He now has ten strikeouts on the year, which is almost half of his 2010 total, despite a quarter of the at-bats.
Rendon hasn't been as dominant at the plate this year, and still remains as the designated hitter due to a shoulder injury. According to MK Bower of Fox Sports Houston, he is continuing his progressive throwing program, but a definitive timetable for his return to third is unknown. Rendon has come in to play first a few times, including this weeken...

Latham to PM: apologise for Iraq
Page Tools
Labor leader Mark Latham addresses journalists at a Press Club lunch yesterday.
Photo: Pat Scala
Prime Minister John Howard had no option but to apologise to the Australian people for the war on Iraq, Opposition Leader Mark Latham said today.
Mr Latham said the final report from the Iraq survey group, released overnight, which found there were no weapons of mass destruction, was final proof that Mr Howard had misled Australians on the war.
"On the front of honesty and integrity in government he should today, at long last, 'fess up to the fact, the fundamental truth, that there were no WMD in Iraq," Mr Latham told Sydney radio 2UE.
"You've got report after report, now you've got the inspectors in the United States saying that the stockpiles of weapons of destruction never existed.
"Surely an honest prime minster, someone big enough to handle the truth, would 'fess up to his responsibility today and just say straight to Australians: 'I made a mistake.'
"That's all Mr Howard has to say because it's true. He made a terrible mistake, and the evidence today is further confirmation of that."
Mr Latham said Mr Howard had made Australia less safe by diverting resources to the war on Iraq instead of focusing on the destruction of Jemaah Islamiah in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr Latham said a person of honesty and integrity would take responsibility for misleading the Australian people.
"He needs to take responsibility, it's not a time for blaming his staff or public servants or the intelligence agencies," he told ABC Radio.
"The buck stops with him.
"If he was big enough and a good leader he would actually stand up and take responsibility for the mistake.
"I can't think of anything worse than a prime minister who sends a country to war for a purpose that wasn't valid, wasn't true."

This header give me a headache
I am looking to change my existing closet in my master bedroom and had a question about a header. Right now, the closet is 10 feet wide by 26 inches deep and is seperated by a wall. There are two seperate 30 inch doors to access each side of the closet. What I am looking to do is remove the wall seperating both side and the space in between the two doors that access either side of the closet and make it one big closet with sliding closet doors. Just wondering if I need a header, I have been told it is not a load bearing wall or can I just take the studs out that are in my way and move forward? Any help is appreciated.
you can remove the wall and studs to make one opening as long is this is not a bearing wall. Keep in mind the sole plate is below the finished floor and you will need to patch the flooring. I would still build at least a 2X8 header over the new opening to avoid sag.

text: PARSIPPANY, N.J, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Actavis, Inc.

Under terms of the settlement agreement, Mallinckrodt has granted Actavis a royalty-free license to U.S. patents relating to Exalgo to sell Actavis' 32 mg product starting on May 15, 2014. Other details of the settlement were not disclosed. Based on available information, Actavis believes it may be a "first applicant" to file an ANDA for the generic version of the 32 mg dosage strength of Exalgo ® and, should its ANDA be approved, may be entitled to 180 days of generic market exclusivity.

"He's a centerfield type of safety, but he will hit you – he doesn't shy away from contact," Hunt head coach Stevie Hinnant said. "He has a long, long frame and he certainly has a lot of time to bulk that frame up."
Prep Career
During Hunt's playoff run in 2010, Wright was promoted to varsity as a freshman. The following season, he earned a starting spot at safety.
As a junior, Wright became more of an integral and versatile piece of a defense, which helped Hunt to a 13-1 record (its only loss came to eventual champion Northern Guilford).
"I'm like the quarterback of the defense," Wright said. "I read all the sets so I know what to call in the secondary – I was calling zones and man [coverages]. And I was pointing out if there was a certain receiver that is lined up a certain way to give the play away."
"In our 4-4 scheme our outside linebacker is involved in a lot of pass coverage," Hinnant said. "And we had an opportunity to have another guy come in that we used at free safety and move Dexter around [between free safety and outside linebacker]."
On the season, Wright recorded 89 tackles (67 solo), three interceptions, one forced fumble, and five pass deflections.
Wright is hearing the most from North Carolina, NC State, and Wake Forest. Those three in-state schools also make up his early favorites list.
"Definitely Carolina, NC State, and Wake Forest are my top three right now," Wright said. "I think it's just the coaches. I like how they approach me and I just get a good vibe from them."
Wright is also hearing from Clemson, East Carolina, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee, and UCLA.
During UNC's Junior Day in January, Randy Jordan, Wright's lead recruiter, discussed the prospects of a possible Tar Heel scholarship offer.
"He just told me this whole recruiting thing is a process," Wright said. "He said eventually, they will offer me, but I just have to be patient – a lot of schools have told me I have to be patient. But he also said he wanted me to come up in the summer to a camp."
Jordan also talked about how Wright fits into UNC's 4-2-5 defense.
"Really, they said my position depends on how big I get, because they said I could play anywhere," Wright said. "Carolina said they have three different safety positions and they said I could fit into any of those positions."
The junior day was Wright's first visit to UNC (it was actually his first recruiting trip overall).
"It was fun," Wright said. "I like everyone up there. All the coaches were very energetic, especially Coach [Larry] Fedora. That's what I like is a very energetic coach. And they have great facilities. I could see myself playing there – it's a very nice place."
This past Saturday, Wright attended NC State Junior Day for his second recruiting trip. He's scheduled to attend Wake Forest Junior Day in March.
Extra Notes
Wright's mother is a principal at an alternative high school. To say that she places an emphasis on education would be an understatement. When Wright received his first C in a class, his mother forced him to quit the basketball team that year… Wright has since rejoined the basketball team and is a reserve forward… Wright's cousin, Ronald Wright, played defensive back for East Carolina from 2005-07.

Irish rapper Lecs Luther kicked off Saturday night. This young rap artist did wow a crowd with his aggressive beats and violent, expletive laden raps. Furthermore this was his first live performance, and he carried it pretty well with his earthy sense of humour and anecdotes.
Ever since I heard the 'storm' single back in 2009, Django Django have been a band I've championed, and they now having released a very strong debut. I was curious to see how their percussion-heavy sound would translate on stage. The answer is – really well! DD are extremely competent live, and a rawer element sneaks in and gives the songs a harder edge.
One thing I'm noting is that garage rock is alive and well, and weirdly enough it's going through many interesting interpretations. Italy's A Classic Education fall into this class. Their album Guns Blazing is a thrilling half hour of guitar weirdness, and live they do not disappoint. On stage they look like a bunch of misfits, but the music gels so well and gives off so much energy that you can't help dancing. They were also one of those bands who managed to fill up the venue as they played their set, and they ended up as my favourite band of the festival.
It's great to have Maltese bands playing, and this time our very own Dolls for Idols took to the stage. Strangely enough I've never really had the opportunity to see them perform to their max, as the sound we have in our local venues never bring out fully what they are about, but seeing them live that night really opened my eyes and ears. 40 mins of danceable grooves and body shaking riffs … the band always get the crowd dancing here in Malta, and that night in France was no exception. Within 10 minutes there was a lot of whooping and hollering. It was the closest thing to being back home.

Ed Helms' Bluegrass Album in the Works
For years, Ed Helms' role as a TV and movie star has overshadowed his love for music, but now the multi-talented Georgia native is taking a big step forward with his musical career. "The Office" actor is spending time in the studio with his longtime bluegrass band, the Lonesome Trio, working on their first full-length album.
"We've been laying down some demos and kicking them back and forth," he tells the Hollywood Reporter. "We've been been playing together so long, we have so many original tunes. We've made recordings for friends and family for years but we've never done a proper album."
Still, while the bandmates know they want to put out a full CD, they're unsure how they want to sell it. "It"s unclear if a label is the way to go," the 42-year-old concedes. "The Louis C.K. comedy model is kind of also crossing over into the music world and obviously Radiohead kind of threw it up online for a donation of four or five dollars. We are figuring that part out."
"The Hangover" star has such a love for bluegrass music, he created his own blog, the Bluegrass Situation, to share with fans all over the world. "It's a one-stop shop for all news, events and community-related content for all Southern California roots, Americana, bluegrass music," Ed explains. "We're trying to build a community and get people together."
Now living in Los Angeles, Ed is surrounded by all kinds of music, but says it's bluegrass that he appreciates the most. "I spent summers up in the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina, and [bluegrass] was always a sound that resonated for me and felt like a connection to these places that meant a lot to me," the tunesmith told NPR. "I do think people who love banjo music are cursed in some way, because most people don't like it and it's kind of an obnoxious instrument. But I just get a lot of joy out of it."
The Lonesome Trio has several concert dates on the calendar, including a show on Sunday, May 6, in Los Angeles with actor Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Keep track of their complete schedule here.

Les Year In Review: 2011 Editionon December 31, 2011 at 10:00 am
2011. An epic year if I do say so myself. A year so jam packed with memorable occasions that no mortal could possibly remember everything that happened. If only someone would create a post encompassing them all? If only…. That's right! Here at Les Thugs we like to think of ourselves as a one stop shop, filling your lives with a little comedy and some (kinda) important news. So 2011, what happened what happened, Tear and I discovered the ever so funny antics of Ms. Grace Helbig of Daily Grace over at MyDamnChannel . She is hilarious and very high up on the "watch daily" recommendation list. WallStreet was occupied, a Kardashian got married, an unpronounceable volcano erupted, this guy wasn't the father, the Johnny Wander webcomic came onto our radar, DC relaunched 52 times, a Kardashian got divorced, Katy Perry ditched another addict, the apple sadly fell from the tree, we lost two who won't be missed, and Charlie Sheen gave frat boys across the country their favorite new catch phrase. Phew, quite a bit in one breath. If I left anything out, make sure to let me know in the comments (cause I'm fairly certain I did). Here's to another great year, filled with hippies, corporate fat cats, attention craving celebrities, around 4 to 5 highly anticipated blockbusters, and the return of Game of Thrones! Have a happy and healthy New Year everyone!

Unlike the many retro-thrash bands that accompany adrenaline-injected passages with strangled screams and growls, this Canadian quintet are as driven by raw-throated melodies as by speedy, crunching riffs. Not that singer Cara McCutchen lacks aggression, she just expresses it in a way that's more memorable than most of her peers. Mortillery's second full-length is a well-crafted balance of unrelenting force and tuneful hooks that should bowl over fans of early Overkill and Testament. "Cease to Exist" hits full boil with hyper-caffeinated rhythms and skull-rattling vocals, and "F.O.A.D." is a foul-mouthed rally cry of rebellion and self-empowerment that suggests Mortillery won't be sidetracked from their chosen path.

Bernanke a victim of Brownmania?
posted at 6:05 pm on January 22, 2010 by King Banaian
Hard to believe, but the Bernanke reconfirmation may be in serious trouble. Ed Morrissey fleshes out the story. The stock market sags partly in response. The WSJ Market Beat blog has a roundup of economists' reactions. A current tally shows 17 votes for reconfirmation, 12 against (including five Democrats), with five more Democrats answering that they are at this time undecided. Many of the Democrat opponents, including Barbara Boxer and Russ Feingold, announced their opposition today. Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell are now jointly counting noses to see if they have 60 votes (as the more anti-Fed types like Jim Bunning are placing a hold on Bernanke's nomination.)
Opposition to the Fed chair seems to have increased since the election of Scott Brown on Tuesday. The Huffington Post reports this afternoon that
The election in Massachusetts has senators who previously considered themselves safe watching their backs, and they don't relish the prospect of a vote in favor of a man who failed to foresee the financial crisis and is closely associated with Wall Street.
A recent poll found that 47 percent of Americans think Bernanke cares more about Wall Street than Main Street, while only 20 percent think he works for Main Street. Independents, who swung heavily for Brown in Massachusetts, are even more opposed to Bernanke than Democrats or Republicans. Fifty percent of independents think he cares first about Wall Street; 15 percent think he prioritizes the needs of Main Street. That's a difficult vote in the face of an angry public.
If Bernanke is confirmed, he'll have to rely on the same coalition that moved the bailout through Congress, when the leadership of both parties joined forces to oppose the rank and file.
We get this rather unprincipled announcement from Sen. Boxer:
"I have a lot of respect for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. When the financial crisis hit in late 2008, he took some important steps to prevent what many economists believe could have been an even greater economic catastrophe," said Boxer.
"However, it is time for a change — it is time for Main Street to have a champion at the Fed. Dr. Bernanke played a lead role in crafting the Bush administration's economic policies, which led to the current economic crisis. Our next Federal Reserve Chairman must represent a clean break from the failed policies of the past."
No, Senator, it is not the job of the Federal Reserve to be a champion for Main Street, Wall Street, or anyone else. The Federal Reserve is an independent institution, a feature that Congress chose wisely almost a century ago.
First, central bank independence has been shown to be essential for controlling inflation. Sooner or later, the Fed will have to scale back its current unprecedented monetary accommodation. When the Federal Reserve judges it time to begin tightening monetary conditions, it must be allowed to do so without interference. Second, lender of last resort decisions should not be politicized.
Finally, calls to alter the structure or personnel selection of the Federal Reserve System easily could backfire by raising inflation expectations and borrowing costs and dimming prospects for recovery. The democratic legitimacy of the Federal Reserve System is well established by its legal mandate and by the existing appointments process. Frequent communication with the public and testimony before Congress ensure Fed accountability.
The Fed, as Robert Samuelson points out, has had officials testify before Congress 32 times. Its actions are not a secret, and attempts to find out who got direct loans from the Fed are more meant to intimidate than illuminate. The assault on its independence has helped push down stock prices and could set off a currency crisis in a G-7 currency, which is extraordinary. At a time where financial crisis still looms large in the rear view mirror, it is highly irresponsible to engage in scapegoating.
Greg Mankiw notes Bernanke's InTrade contract has fallen from 0.95 to 0.7 and adds "This uncertainty cannot be good for financial markets." Indeed. And if that's in trouble, what happens to the debt ceiling vote?

|7 nights
Check in preference is Friday, but will accommodate check-ins any day EXCEPT SATURDAY! Now accepting reservations for 2017.
Beech Cottage is nestled in the New England woods on the secluded shore of Wild Goose Pond. Enjoy your own private dock--swimming in the 100-acre spring-fed pond, or fishing, paddling and sunbathing. Relax in nature--picking wild blueberries in season, bird watching or reading a book. A tandem kayak is available for guests...or bring your own kayaks and water toys...there is no drive-down ramp for boat launching. The dock is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day. An outdoor grill, fire pit and picnic table make meals near the water a family favorite. There's easy access off Route 4 (Antique Alley), midway between Concord and Portsmouth.
Beech Cottage is a potential year-round residence (central oil heat and wood stove) with a fully equipped kitchen. Linens and towels are provided for up to five guests in this two bedroom furnished cottage. Sunsets are breathtaking, paddling on or swimming in the water is exhilarating, sounds of nature--breeze through the trees, lapping water, birds singing--are so relaxing. Exceptionally quiet nights may be interrupted by loon calls or the hooting of an owl. Exploring New England? Even after the dock is removed in Fall, this is a beautiful, quiet getaway which is an ideal home base for a New England visit, to view spectacular Fall Foliage, or simply enjoy the "Indian summer" days of Fall! Beech Cottage is centrally located and can be that relaxing, quiet home base after a busy day in Portsmouth, Concord, or sight-seeing elsewhere.
A telephone for local calls (bring a calling card for long distance), TV with DVD provided (cellphone and TV reception unreliable). If you have yearned to escape the ceaseless interruptions of our high-tech culture, this is the place for you! We look forward to making this a favorite get away for you and your family or friends. Bring your fishing gear, camera, a good book...and make memories!
Suitability: for families with school-aged children, age 55+, girl's getaway, fishing getaway, romantic getaway. The cottage accommodates up to five guests mid-May through September.
Richard and Margaret found, fell in love with and continue to enjoy the natural environment and relaxed summer lifestyle around Wild Goose Pond since 2008. Two grandchildren who live nearby enjoy visiting Nana and Papa on the pond. Wild Goose Pond provides endless opportunities to observe the changing 'face' of nature, paddle on the water, soak up the sun and simply relax. Evenings are charmed with gorgeous sunsets. A pair of loons return each summer with enchanting calls and delightful entertainment.
Beech Cottage became available in 2013; the property is adjacent to the owner's summer residence. The former owner loved this cottage and was devoted to the preservation of nature. She lived here year-round and was a friend to all of the squirrels, birds and critters that frequent the pond. She also loved hearing the laughter and squeals of happy children and families during the summer months. We hope to maintain her legacy to ensure that the cottage will continue to be friendly to the natural environment and its guests. We trust that Beech Cottage will be a catalyst for regeneration, fun times and serendipitous happy memories for all of its visitors!
Richard and Margaret Wilson purchased this cottage in 2013
Most of the private cottages are on the East side of Wild Goose Pond and were built in the late 40s and 50s by GIs for their families; many have remained with those families for decades. The Beech Cottage was built in 1986. A spring-fed brook runs through the property on the South side but usually dries up before summer ends. The Beech trees surrounding the cottage provide shelter and food for the birds and squirrels, a beautiful canopy for picnics beside the water and a reason for its name--Beech Cottage. Many folks fish on the pond morning and evening, fishing for bass and pickerel is a favorite for guests! Sitting on the dock or deck in the evening offers a gorgeous view of the serene sunsets. The wood burning stove makes the living area cozy on cool Spring or Fall mornings. Beech Cottage is adjacent to Wilson's Retreat; since it was next door, they purchased it when it became available.
This road is 'less traveled'. After leaving the First NH Turnpike and driving to the graveled road that leads to the water, anticipation heightens as you approach this 'piece of heaven' hidden so close to the hustle-bustle of everyday life. The clamor soon fades--life is blessed on Wild Goose Pond!
We had a great time. The house was well equipped with anything you would need for cooking. The owner was fabulous. The fishing was great. We especially loved listening to the loons. Will definitely go back.
My wife and I stayed here last week. Just us, no kids and no grandkids! I think we only mentioned them once. For a peaceful stay this is the place to be! Margaret was most helpful in getting us settled. She was a great host! This camp has everything you need for some R and R. The place was immaculate inside and out with just enough modern conveniences to make your stay very comfortable. We will be back!
If you're a family looking for a quiet retreat but don't mind close neighbors this is for you. If you want absolute quiet and privacy this may not be the place for you. Otherwise it is clean and you have everything you need including the awesome dock and good fishing. Really nothing negative to say and the owners were easy to deal with and very nice.
What a nice area Strafford/Northwood New Hampshire is!
The Wilson's place was perfect for us.
Comfortable bath and kitchen (not the sometimes "quaint, i.e., awkward" facilities offered by some cabins).
Wonderful view of lake from house, and this lake is so tranquil, not one of those where boaters are tooling around all day in their noisy motorboats.
Very stable, secure dock with steps, even, leading right into the lake: perfect for swimming!
I loved that there was no wifi, no cable/network TV, no cell service.
The Wilsons do have a very nice TV in the house for guests to use along with about a dozen movies to play.
(We watched one called "Mud" last night that was TERRIFIC!)
Try the yummy new restaurant (paleo, gluten-free, organic kind-of-place) in Northwood called Umami. De-lish!
Last note: the roads (all packed dirt) coming into the rental were in EXCELLENT shape, no ruts, easy driving.
My family and I had a wonderful time, the cottage was very clean and we enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The boys enjoyed kayaking and fishing and good old family fun. Margaret was a wonderful hostess and made us a fresh blueburry crumb cake that was very delicious!!!
Mr. And Mrs. Wilson were very nice and accommodating to our stay. We wanted a "great outdoors" experience (without a bear fight of course) more for the girls who have fallen victim to the technology hole. With limited service and no wifi it brought us all back to a place where we were able to reconnect. We had something to do everyday so they were able to connect in service however at night it was all family and relaxing. The pictures do not do this place justice, I highly recommend a trip here and look forward to going back in the future. Thank you again for our wonderful vacation. -Matt, Tabitha and the girls

In Crown Colonies the allowance or disallowance of any Law is generally signified by despatch.
The disallowance is published in Victoria on the 1st of May.
They however addressed their governor to obtain, if possible, a disallowance of the exactions of Wilmot.
As to the disallowance of Colonial bills, see pp. 202-5, ante.
Owing to the disallowance of the Oaths Bill there was no report from the committee.
Then this statute was passed last year, of which we are now asking the disallowance, and I am going to speak of that briefly.
The Two-penny Act was good and essential, and its disallowance was a breach of the contract.
The Governor-General and the Crown to have also power of assent, reservation or disallowance.
Before he left Canada he proclaimed the act of indemnity, and notified her majesty's disallowance of the ordinance.
The supposed grounds for disallowance are in reality only marks of inferiority.
