Fullerton, CA- After learning of their first ever NAIA ranking earlier in the day, #16 Hope International beat Arizona Christian 71-51 on Tuesday to push their winning streak to 13 games. Junior Jeremy Kilgore scored a game high 20 points. Senior Orlando Collins produced a game of 12 points and 14 rebounds for his GSAC leading seventh double-double of the season.
Like he has done four or five times prior, Kilgore received a pass from Freshman Garrett Neilan just after the opening tip and laid in the first two points of the game just seconds into the contest.
The Royals (18-1, 3-0 GSAC) built a 6-2 before the Firestorm (12-3, 2-1 GSAC) responded with a 6-0 run to move ahead 8-6.
Despite both teams really going in a shooting funk for the better part of about eight minutes, HIU moved to the top side of the score with a 7-0 run of their own. Kilgore and Neilan both scored two points and Senior Kris Rosales added three points (layup and made free throw) during the stretch that ultimately gave Hope International the lead for good in the contest.
A dunk from Collins in the closing seconds of the half gave the Royals a 21 point edge- their largest of the half.
With the score 41-20 at the break, Kilgore almost outscored the Firestorm by himself as he delivered 15 first half points.
After the recess, Kilgore drained a three pointer to push HIU ahead by 24 points- their biggest lead of the contest.
However, the Firestorm proved why they are "26" in the country (the team receiving the most votes not in the top 25). Over the next five and half minutes, they used a 16-4 run to cut their deficit in half. In fact, they would close the gap into single digits on three different occasions to strike a little doubt into the outcome.
But HIU shut the door defensively and outscored ACU 11-0 in the final two and half minutes to seal the win.
Rosales converted 11 points in the second half to finish second in the game with 18 points. He also passed eight assists.
Sophomore Austin Sanford ended the night with 15 points.
Kilgore commented about the four Royals in double figures with this statement, "Everyone on team is focused and we are coming to play. We pride ourselves on our defense- to be the best we can. We just play non-selfish basketball to do whatever it takes to get a win- no matter who scores."
Head Coach Bill Czech stated, "Arizona Christian is a great team ranked 26 in the NAIA. We were happy with the start. Our guys brought a lot of energy into the game and played with a lot of fight. We are extremely appreciative of the crowd which was one of the biggest in the last few years. It was good to see former players, staff, faculty, and our Vice President and President in the crowd. Guys worked hard in the off season- especially Jeremy, Kris, and Austin- and it showed tonight."
On Saturday, the Royals will travel to Santa Barbara to meet up with the other unbeaten in GSAC play- Westmont. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

max plate voltage rating in tube datasheet
is this max B+ voltage that can be supplied to the plate?
thanks for the help :)
Tubes have guidelines rather than it will break neigh instantaneously if exceeded ratings, but yes. This voltage is relative to cathode.
just to clarify on that statement.
to measure plate-cathode voltage:
1. do I measure voltage from plate to ground and cathode to ground?
2. measure voltage from plate pin to cathode pin?
thanks again
Well, I really wouldnt worry about it too much.
I mentioned that because if you were floating the cathode at say +250V over ground you could run the plate of a tube rated at 450V at 600V above ground, as it would still be seeing 450V across the tube. Heater to cathode issues would be another matter.
Another issue to be aware of is that new (or even some NOS) production tubes dont necessarily match all that closely to the old datasheets.
let's say my 2A3-
voltage on the 2A3 plate is 303V, voltage on the cathode is 46V.
303-46 = 257V which exceeds the 250V "maximum"
The tubes are still alive though- Sovtek 2A3 (I really wouldn't care if exceeded) and RCA bi-plate 2A3 ;)
I think it would be the plate dissipation one has to be worried with.
Again, take my case 257V * 56ma (46V / 880R) = 14.4W which is below the 15W max plate dissipation of the 2A3.
I wasn't really concern on longevity. I just want find out how to calculate plate-to-cathode voltage :)
thanks again for the help
What the tube sees is the potential difference between its plate and its cathode. It has no way of knowing what the absolute potential of each electrode is. So if the maximum plate voltage is defined, example, as 250v, it means there should be no more than 250v difference between plate and cathode.
In addition to the cathode voltage that must be accounted for mentioned in other posts, there is the voltage drop across the plate resistor. ( assuming there is one, and its not transformer coupled ). But bottom line is max voltage refers to voltage from plate to cathode.
But, having said all that though, I have seen spec sheets that do specify a maximum B+ supply voltage, not a maximum plate to cathode voltage. I have always assumed this was to protect against high plate voltage in cases when there is low or no plate current being drawn. Or is it just a way of "playing it safe" ?
1. The datasheets usually give two numbers for max plate voltage, one for a warmed up tube and one for a cold tube.
2. The numbers assume that the cathode is grounded, or equivalently, the numbers are given with respect to the cathode.
3. One has to consider the voltages at turn-on and turn-off to make sure that they're within the appropriate ratings.
Another reason the answer is no, is that many ratings assume an inductive load. That means that with full signal swing, the anode voltage is nearly doubled. It is therefore acceptable to run some valves in some instances at higher voltages.
Eg a 2A3 with a maximum rated anode voltage of 300v operated in a class A transformer output stage is subject to about 500v peaks. If I wanted to use it in another application with a resistive load, I could choose a voltage higher than 300v without worries.

Paris Motor Show: Fashion, Art, And Cars – The Range Rover Evoque Launch
The launch of the Range Rover Evoque in Paris was as much a public art event as a car debut.
(L to R – Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Yorgo Tloupas, André, Jérémie Rozan)
Car launches at auto shows typically involve a lot of spectacle for the media and auto industry insiders. Unfortunately the general public rarely gets to experience an unveiling first hand. Prior to the start of this years' Paris Motor Show, Land Rover took advantage of an opportunity to not only preview a vehicle to the automotive press, but also attendees to Paris Fashion Week, and the general public. The debut was for the Range Rover Evoque, a new small crossover vehicle designed for urban use. The tight streets of Paris are the sort of environment the Evoque was designed to navigate which is why the city became the perfect choice for the launch.
A plan was devised to create four installations each one reflecting a character trait of the Evoque. Designer and Sculptor Benedict Radcliffe was called to art direct and oversee the production of four full-size wireframes representing the shape of the Evoque. Benedict is something of a wireframe expert creating the iconic Lamborghini Countach sculptures. The Evoque wireframes became the basis for the invited artists and designers to add additional elements to that reflected both an Evoque trait as well as personal inspiration from the city of Paris. PSFK met with each of the contributing artists to get some insight into how the responded to the brief "What inspires you about your city?"
Creator of the famous graffiti Mr A cartoon figure in the late 90's, André remarked to us that in considering his theme of 'Design', graffiti seemed to be a perfect way to reflect the urban characteristics of the Evoque. André mentioned that his work is based on the use of a lot of simple linework and he saw the use of the same kind of simple lines in the exterior design of the Evoque.
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (JCDC)
Luxury was the theme Jean-Charles tackled with his installation. He attached a pair of neon wings to the Evoque. While initially the installation looks simple, the idea behind Jean-Charles' piece is quite complex. Spirituality became his inspiration from Paris, as he says, Paris is a city of ghosts of history. He also realized that by removing the first two letters from the word "Range Rover" the meaning changed to "angel over". The wings become a symbol for the way the Evoque provides protection for its occupants.
Jérémie Rozan (Surface to Air)
Jérémie's installation reflected the technology of the Evoque by contrasting it with architectural fragments from the city of Paris. The Evoque wireframe sits atop a pile of bits of classical moldings and sculptures showing a departure from tradition.
Yorgo Tloupas (Intersection Magazine)
Yorgo was impressed with the shape of the wireframe and wanted to reflect the theme of sustainability without detracting too much from the shape. He remarked that aerodynamics play as important a part in vehicle efficiency as does the motor. So he represented the sleek design of the Evoque using strips of OLED's. The material is paper thin and can be illuminated at night. The installation was in the courtyard of the Pompidou which is famous for having all the structure on the outside. Yorgo commented that he liked the play between the building and his installation which showed the efficient structure of airflow.
Below is a short video Range Rover has put together with a synopsis of the four installations.
We've also got a few photos of the formal Evoque unveiling at the Paris Motor Show.
Special thanks to Land Rover and The Brooklyn Brothers for providing PSFK with arrangements to see the installations in person.

Senna more life than death for movie maker
By Alan Baldwin
LONDON (Reuters) - The helicopter swoops down, its television camera following the lines of a sunlit track below, as the words 'San Marino GP, Imola' appear on screen.
Twenty years on from the fatal accidents of Formula One great Ayrton Senna and Austrian Roland Ratzenberger at the Italian circuit, the moment in the award-winning documentary 'Senna' still makes the heart beat faster.
What followed on that 1994 weekend, and particularly on May 1 when the Brazilian crashed his Williams, is as familiar to most F1 fans as the waving of a checkered flag.
For screenwriter and executive producer Manish Pandey, who will attend a showing of his 2010 film in Imola this week as part of events marking the anniversary, the focus will be more on marking an extraordinary life than a tragic death.
In an interview with Reuters, he recalled how director Asif Kapadia asked him early on what he wanted to achieve with the film.
"I said 'My big ambition for the film is whether you know what happened to him or don't know what happened to him, you forget for a while'," Pandey said.
"And that's where I think the film is very successful. Even if you know, you get so caught up in it you kind of forget. And then when it suddenly says Imola everyone knows and it hits them very hard."
Imola, Pandey said, was not a weekend he particularly wanted to remember and nor was it one to be taken out of context. Continued...

Highlighted by the 1939 boys' basketball team, the Eminence Hall of Fame inducts its sixth class this weekend, in conjunction with the high school's football game against Trimble County on Friday night.
Winning the North Central Kentucky Conference championship for the first time since the 1990s, the Henry County boys' golf team came through when it mattered the most.
The Wildcats hosted the conference tournament last Tuesday at the Henry County Country Club, finishing with a four-person combined score of 339 to win by four strokes. It was the focal point of 2010.
After losing two district games last week and winning what could have been the deciding game for the conference championship, Henry County coach Jon Kasten said he has not been pleased with his team's recent play on the volleyball court.
The Ladycats were coming off five straight wins before dropping three of their next four. They are now 8-6 overall.
On a night with a lot riding on the line, the Eminence football team dominated Bracken County on Friday to open District Four play with a 61-0 victory.
The Warriors entered the game at 1-3 and were still searching for their first win against an in-state school — the one earlier win came against Burch High School in West Virginia. It was also Eminence's Homecoming Night and was the opener of a four-week stretch of games against district teams that determines who makes the postseason and who hosts playoff games.
A week after upsetting Anderson County in what was one of the biggest wins for the Henry County football program, the Wildcats took a 49-13 loss to Owensboro Catholic on Friday night.
It was not what coach Lyndon Johnson was looking for, especially coming off the huge win against Anderson.
Owensboro Catholic was ahead 21-0 after the first quarter, scored the game's first 28 points, did not allow the visiting Wildcats a touchdown until the second half, and cruised in for the 36-point victory.
The improving Eminence volleyball team played just one match last week, dropping its lone outing to Martha Layne Collins High School, 2-0, on Thursday night.
Coach Stephanie Meadows was not pleased with her squad's performance but did say she hopes they can come away from this game with a stronger desire to win, and play competitive against the top teams like Collins.
Playing against the one team they had beaten this season, the Henry County Wildcats lost to Owen County, 3-0, last Thursday night in what was their final home soccer game of 2010.
The Wildcats beat Owen on Aug. 19, but could not repeat with another win exactly five weeks later to drop their overall record to 1-10 heading down the final stretch.
Ending their three-game winning streak — the longest ever for a soccer program started three years ago — the Henry County Ladycats dropped games to Oldham County and Spencer County last week.
The Ladycats, who were coming off consecutive wins over Shelby County, Owen County and Bryan Station, took a 6-0 loss to Oldham last Monday night, then took an 11-2 loss to Spencer County on Thursday. The Cats are currently 4-5 overall.
The Eminence volleyball team's 2-1 win over Bardstown High School last Thursday night gave the Lady Warriors four wins, their most in five years.
This year, the improving squad has beaten Evangel Christian on Aug. 10, Bardstown on Aug. 26, Gallatin County on Sept. 7 and Bardstown again last week for a 4-10 overall record. With six matches still remaining, it's already the best mark since 2005.
In what was one of the biggest wins in program history, the Henry County football team rallied in the fourth quarter to erase a 15-point deficit and upset Anderson County, 45-42.
Friday night's shocker was a monumental moment for the Wildcats, who never gave up. Trailing 42-27 entering the final quarter, the Cats scored two touchdowns, converted on a 2-point conversion to tie the score, stopped Anderson on three straight plays, and kicked a 29-yard field goal with just 27 seconds remaining to put them ahead for good.

"No Country For Old Men" positioned for Oscar
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The gritty crime drama "No Country For Old Men" became the front-runner for Oscar glory on Sunday after winning top prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on a night of traditional Hollywood glamour and emotion over the sudden death of Heath Ledger.
"No Country For Old Men," directed by Ethan and Joel Coen, took the award for best ensemble cast and Spanish actor Javier Bardem won the best supporting actor award for playing a cold-blooded killer in the movie.
"No Country" also won the Directors Guild Award on Saturday and has eight nominations for an Oscar next month.
Actor and cast member Josh Brolin addressed critics who have not liked the way the movie ends. "The Coen brothers are freaky little people and we did a freaky little movie, whether you liked the ending or not," he said.
British actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who won the best actor award for his role as a greedy early 20th century oil baron in "There Will Be Blood," dedicated his trophy to Ledger
Ledger, 28, who was best known for his role as a reluctant gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead in his New York apartment last week. The cause of death is still unclear.
Day-Lewis, 50, said he had never met Ledger. But he paid tribute to Ledger in his acceptance speech and later told reporters: "That's all I have been thinking about the last few days."
"I am absolutely certain he would have done many wonderful things in his life," Day-Lewis said. Continued...

Will my cat remember me after a six month absence? I'll be hiking the AT next year and am concerned that he'll forget me
Oliver is a six year old male cat. I've been living with him at my parents' house for about a year now, I had him with me in college before that. I'll be going on a six month hike starting next April. He'll be very well cared for by my parents, and there are several other cats in the house who he socializes with, but I'm afraid he'll forget me or that our relationship won't be the same when I return. I'm sure I'll look and probably smell a bit different when I get back- I literally won't be the same person I was when I left.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Your relationship may be rocky at first, but I suspect he'll remember you. When I've had friends take care of my cats when I was gone, they always remembered them the second time around. Also, I lived with a Significant Other for almost five years, and even after he moved out, the cats remembered his odor. He would come over sometimes just to visit, and they would come to greet him. When we met for a Platonic date somewhere, they would smell his odor on me, and spend hours at the door waiting for him to come "home." It might take a while, and all cats are different, but I would bet that your cat will remember you and your pre-hike relationship.

It Won't Be The Last
You never forget the first time your child breaks your heart.
Michelle looked up from her book to see Tim coming back from the backyard through the sliding glass door. "That was quick," she said. "I guess the boys were pretty tired?"
It was hard to hear through the bear mask he was wearing, but she was pretty sure he said "I don't want to talk about it" as he slunk towards their bedroom.
She found her husband still wearing the bear suit and sitting on the bed. He'd pulled the mask off, and was staring down into its fake black eyes, totally defeated. She took a seat next to him and patted his back. "Everything okay?"
Tim nodded. "Yeah, Jake and Pete are fine. They're both just lying in the tent, wrapped up in their Kelty Kids Sleeping Bag and stuff. Jake's got his head lamp in the bag's chest pocket, and I think Pete shoved candy into his. They're, you know, pretty busy talking about things. Robots, mostly, I guess. Maybe vampires. Or it could've been robot vampires or vampire robots, too." He shrugged. "They sort of stopped talking until after I dropped off the snacks, so..."
Michelle scooted over and wrapped her arm around him. "They weren't interested in the legend of Neighborhood Terror Bear this time, huh?"
"Not particularly."
She kissed his cheek and laid her head on his furry shoulder. "I'm sorry, honey."
"Eh," he said, trying his best not to sound hurt. "It was bound to happen sooner or later." Then, he snickered. "Heh. You said 'honey.' Get it? I'm in a bear costume and you said..."
"Yes, dear, you're very clever."

My astonishingly narrow mindset aside Patrick, your target market then is people who buy Bioware games regardless whether they are designed for console or PC? If they happen to be more shooter fans who don't like complex RPG's or vice versa then it's a spillover?
I'm not saying this to offend you Patrick, and you are right I'm not privy to the demographics so excuse my ignorance. I'm simply saying these are different games.
I myself am curious about the next Bioware game but I don't have a console for example. I myself am waiting for the next BG or NWN2 type game from you guys for PC.

Pink tanks point gun barrels at West in art work
By Neil Chatterjee
SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - The seven model tanks in an art installation by an Indonesian artist look like the machines the United States used in the invasion of Iraq. Except they are pink, covered in lotuses and have heart-shaped barrels.
But the guns of the "Love Tank" are pointed firmly at the enemy, which for artist S. Teddy D. is the West's militarism and over consumption. He contrasts that with an idealistic view of the East as an innocent and spiritual haven.
"The West produced colonialism, fascism, capitalism -- it's different from what I know about the East," said the artist. "The West is exploiting and the East is preserving," he said, looking up at his installation at the National Museum of Singapore.
The plywood tanks in the pagoda-shaped installation are piled on top of each other, with the first half the size of an Abrams M1A1 tank and the one on top a fifth of the real size. The tanks are perched on a pile of rubble.
"The idea is about war, about love, about peace," said S. Teddy D. "I'm thinking of the victims of war -- I'm afraid for the future of the world," he said, adding terror attacks and religious wars or "crusades" were his main fears.
The installation took S. Teddy D. and around 70 artists in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta five months to make. It took another three weeks to install.
The artist, whose previous works focused on military themes such as an AK-47 gun twisted into a "circle of life," said the idea came from a wedding and a visit to Singapore.
He originally made one pink tank as a gift for a friend getting married, together with slogans such as "make love, not war." Continued...

With the 3D hurdle mostly very successfully negotiated, though, it's no surprise based on past experience to find things plain sailing for the rest of the X30B's tests. In fact, as with so many entry-level JVC projectors before it, its 2D pictures are nothing short of sensational for its money.
As usual with JVC's D-ILA tech, the 2D highlight is the black level response. Dark scenes look outstanding, with rich, deep, natural black colours sitting right alongside bright whites and vibrant colours. And don't forget that since the X30's extreme contrast is achieved natively, with no dynamic iris, dark scenes look totally stable, with no brightness 'jumping' or flickering. There's also no sudden leap in brightness when what you're watching transitions from a dark to a light scene.
During such bright scenes, colours are exceptionally vibrant and natural, making the lack of a CMS easier to bear (if still unfortunate). Greens look particularly good and well balanced for this level of the market.
Skin tones can look just a fraction orangey using the projector's factory settings, if we were being really picky. But this is a minor point overall; JVC, it seems, is certainly getting better at setting things up well in the factory before it even ships its projectors out.
The leap in brightness delivered by the X3 last year pays similar dividends on the X30 in 2D mode, making its images look every bit as dynamic as those of rival models in the same price bracket - overcoming what was once almost the only flaw in JVC's D-ILA projection make up.
Another really impressive thing about the X30's pictures is how flexible they are. For even without a full colour management system there are enough options and enough range within those options to ensure that almost all image tastes or preferences can be catered for. Even the Clear Motion Drive system is worth more experimentation than most similar systems - especially the two 'black frame insertion' modes, which do a quite nifty job of recreating the sense that you're watching celluloid at a commercial cinema.
With the X30 also hugely impressing with how quietly it runs, even when showing 3D, there are only a couple more small problems to note on top of the puny issues already noted. First, it seems odd to us that there's no Game preset. And second, our sample exhibited some curious 'pulsing' noise over mid shades of grey while using some of the image presets – especially the 'Natural' one.
But even if it turns out this isn't a problem specific to our test sample, it's easily avoidable by sticking to, say, the film or cinema presets. And anyway, you can only really see it with 'pure' blocks of greyness such as those found in the menus of Call of Duty: MW3; it's hardly ever noticeable over normal video footage.
But for heaven's sake, don't let this any of this pathetic last-minute whinging get to you. The X30 is overall a bigger step forward from the X3 then we'd expected, which means pretty much by default that it's the finest projector in its class.
Well, whaddya know: with the X30 JVC has yet again set the bar for projection quality in the £3,000 projector class. It might almost be boring if the projector wasn't so darn brilliant.
Good read.
I have the previous x3 and find it a fantastic PJ.
For 3D, as mentioned, it can give cross talk on SOME 3D content. I have found that letting the PJ warm up well before viewing 3D helps. But really speaking on decent quality 3D movies its a non issue.
On the point of auto change resolution to 3D. I use Total Media Theatre 5 and that switches resolution for me.
Overall the JVC PJ is an excellent product as stated. Robust, quiet, stunning black levels and even without CMS a great picture when calibrated.

JLC Live Preview:
The March 23-26 JLC LIVE Residential Construction Show at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, is fast approaching (early-bird registration discounts end Thursday, February 23). The full PDF-version of the conference educational program schedule is now posted at the show website. JLC LIVE offers one of the best technical education programs in the industry. In the field of home energy, for example, contractors could learn a lot from the 3:30 PM session on Friday, March 25, Top Ten House Strategies for Making Existing Homes Perform, presented by Mike Rogers, senior Vice President with GreenHomes America. This week, Rogers shared this outline of his session with Coastal Connection:
Ill be challenging the conventional wisdom for some people, Rogers told Coastal Connection in an email. For example, explaining why they should ignore the DOE recommended levels of insulation, explaining why tankless water heaters wont make your hair grow back, and why some LED lighting is better quality light than the incandescent lighting it replaces. Some of his advice may be contrarian, but Rogers has solid credentials as a mainstream authority on his topic. As an EPA employee and contractor, Rogers led the development of the joint EPA/Department of Energy Home Performance with Energy Star program. Now as an executive with GreenHomes, hes leading the rollout of the companys planned nationwide network of home-performance contracting franchises, dedicated to cutting home energy use house by house using a house-as-a-system approach. GreenHomes has spent several years perfecting its business model for local home-performance contracting in Syracuse, New York. In 2009, Rogers authored a feature article in The Journal of Light Construction, focusing on the Syracuse units work in older homes there ( Home Performance Contracting, by Mike Rogers, JLC 9/09). With the glitches ironed out of the system, GreenHomes is starting to expand. By coincidence, the companys three newest franchises are in coastal markets: Thayer Corporation, based in Auburn, Maine; Master Mechanical Corp., based in Farmingdale on Long Island, New York; and Energy Efficient Solutions, based in Yorktown, Virginia. A GreenHomes employee blows insulation into the roof system of a Cape house in Syracuse, New York, in 2009 (Photo by Ted Cushman). Business and building science lessons learned in GreenHomes Syracuse unit will be applied nationwide, under the companys business development plan. Why all this action in coastal markets? Its probably coincidence, says Rogers: Were just looking to pair up the right market with the right company, and we look at a lot of different things. Typically, GreenHomes likes to partner with an established HVAC company, and add on whatever insulation, window, air-sealing, and diagnostic capabilities are needed to complete the whole-house approach. In the case of Maines Thayer Corporation, says Rogers, GreenHomes had a long-standing relationship with the company. As for the Long Island and Virginia moves, he says, each situation seemed right, but for completely different reasons. With a mixed climate, Rogers explains, Virginia offers a variety of home performance challenges. They get cold air in the winter, but it gets quite warm and humid in the summer. And they have a variety of structural issues, especially around crawlspaces, that mean a lot of homes are really under-performing. Virginia doesnt have a long track record of state and local programs supporting energy upgrades, he says; but GreenHomes saw that fact as an opportunity. None of our competitors had moved in and started to muddy the waters with mixed messages. So in that sense Virginia is very much sort of virgin territory, and were excited about that. In Long Island, by contrast, theres a lot of government support for energy improvement, says Rogers: Theres the states Green Jobs for New York program, theres a LIPA (Long Island Power Authority) program, and then towns, like the Town of Babylon, have programs. Theres a variety of strong programs that provide a lot of generous incentives at the consumer level that help to drive the conversation. In the long run, says Rogers, conditions favor strong growth in the home performance industry in many more markets, including coastal areas. If you look at what the utilities are on the hook for, most of them are going to be facing serious capacity issues over the next four to five years. Theyre not going to be able to build plants fast enough to meet that demand not in the face of the regulatory and not-in-my-back-yard hurdles that pop up every time you talk about a power plant. So these folks are going to have to look for deep energy savings and you can only get so far with a light bulb program. Theyve already skimmed that low hanging fruit for the few percentage points its going to get. Now they have to go in this direction. And in the larger context, home performance fits into the national trend that favors remodeling over new construction, Rogers argues. The analyst reports that Ive read say that we shouldnt expect a big new construction boom over the next several years, he says. People are staying put. They arent moving every couple of years as part of real estate speculation. So its all going to be about remodeling, retrofit, and renovation.

Climate-changing methane 'rapidly destabilizing' off East Coast, study finds
In this visualization, the Gulf Stream is seen as the dark red current coming into the Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico.
A changing Gulf Stream off the East Coast has destabilized frozen methane deposits trapped under nearly 4,000 square miles of seafloor, scientists reported Wednesday. And since methane is even more potent than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas, the researchers said, any large-scale release could have significant climate impacts.
Temperature changes in the Gulf Stream are "rapidly destabilizing methane hydrate along a broad swathe of the North American margin," the experts said in a study published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
Using seismic records and ocean models, the team estimated that 2.5 gigatonnes of frozen methane hydrate are being destabilized and could separate into methane gas and water.
It is not clear if that is happening yet, but that methane gas would have the potential to rise up through the ocean and into the atmosphere, where it would add to the greenhouse gases warming Earth.
The 2.5 gigatonnes isn't enough to trigger a sudden climate shift, but the team worries that other areas around the globe might be seeing a similar destabilization.
Methane hydrate samples
"It is unlikely that the western North Atlantic margin is the only area experiencing changing ocean currents," they noted. "Our estimate … may therefore represent only a fraction of the methane hydrate currently destabilizing globally."
The wider destabilization evidence, co-author Ben Phrampus told NBC News, includes data from the Arctic and Alaska's northern slope in the Beaufort Sea.
And it's not just under the seafloor that methane has been locked up. Some Arctic land area are seeing permafrost thaw, which could release methane stored there as well.
An expert who was not part of the study said it suggests that methane could become a bigger climate factor than carbon dioxide.
"We may approach a turning point" from a warming driven by man-made carbon dioxide to a warming driven by methane, Jurgen Mienert, the geology department chair at Norway's University of Tromso, told NBC News.
"The interactions between the warming Arctic Ocean and the potentially huge methane-ice reservoirs beneath the Arctic Ocean floor point towards increasing instability," he added.
For thousands of years, permafrost has trapped Siberia's carbon-rich soil, a compost of Ice Age plant and animal remains. But global warming is melting the permafrost and exposing the soil, causing highly flammable methane to seep out. NBC's Jim Maceda reports.
He also noted, however, that "one of the big unknowns is the magnitude of rapid methane escape from the ocean floor, and how natural filter systems react and affect the future ocean, its environment and the climate."
Relate: Thawing Arctic permafrost is releasing methane
Another unknown is what caused the Gulf Stream changes, said Phrampus, an earth sciences PhD candidate at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
"Multiple events can play a factor, such as changing sea level or an addition of cold/fresh water from the north," Phrampus said, adding he was hopeful that the changes might be "reversible under their own influence."
But, he added, "we need more data to resolve this, and we are currently investigating this process."

3D Printing in space is possible: POP3D (Portable On-Board Printer) will demonstrate this, as part of the experiments which will be completed soon aboard the International Space Station.
The experiment, designed by Altran Italia, won the tender "Volo Umano Spaziale per Ricerche e Dimostrazioni Tecnologiche sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale". The project involved Altran Italia (prime Contractor and responsible for the development of the printing equipment), Thales Alenia Space (supporting on ISS integration aspects) and IIT (supporting on Characterisation and post-flight analyses).
POP3D goal is the transfer to space of a technology known in its use on the ground. It aims at increasing the technological maturity of the additive manufacturing process for extrusion of thermoplastic polymers in microgravity conditions and in manned space environment. This manufacturing process has so far been demonstrated in microgravity conditions with tests on parabolic flights, for a maximum duration of 20-30 seconds. POP3D instead provides that uninterrupted manufacturing takes place for about 30 minutes.
3D Printing, also considered at the base of the "Third industrial revolution", is one of the turning process and manufacturing which probably represent a "distruptive innovation" for the world of Space Operations.
What is the experiment?
The experiment consists of an automated production of a small plastic object. The material used is PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable resources, that is extruded in layers, to compose 3D shapes. The manufactured object will be sent to the ground for a comparative analysis with an analogous object printed in 1-G conditions, so as to analyse the diversity (if it exists) between the two.
What do you want to prove with POP3D?
With this experiment, the investigators intend to research the influence of microgravity on the additive manufacturing process and gain expertise as a first step towards a future digital and automated manufacturing facility on board the ISS, on other manned spacecrafts or for planetary colonies.
What are the advantages of 3D printing aboard the ISS?
The results of the project are expected to bring significant benefits to the industry. To demonstrate that this technology also works in microgravity means in fact paving the way for a substantial improvement of the autonomy of future space exploration missions.
Using a similar technology would allow in-situ manufacturing of tools on board orbiting stations in long-term missions or directly in the production of entire orbit space structures. This would lead to important optimizations in terms of reduction of masses and volumes of cargo on board space vehicles, since functional parts could be produced directly in situ according to the actual needs.
In addition printing objects directly on the ISS would avoid having to design parts on the basis of high mechanical stresses they are subject to during the launch phase.
If 3D printing experiment on the ISS proves applicable on a broader scale, it be possible to produce monolithic parts well suited to replace complex assemblies, with a reduction in the number of parts to be assembled, reduction of joints, simplification of both documentation and verification process. The extreme versatility in the creation of complex geometric shapes, would eliminate the constraints imposed by the shape of traditional manufacturing technologies and make it possible to increase design optimization, providing improved structural performance (trabecular microstructure, geometry quarries variable section), thermal performance (heat exchange surfaces integrated into the structural geometry), ergonomics (custom objects and custom-made) and integrating more functions in a smaller space.
Finally, another important "side effect" of the project is to open, for the first time, a dialog and cooperation between the world of the Makers and the world of the ISS.

I would concentrate on firstly treating your scalp with ingredients like ceramides, aloe vera inner leaf gel, panthenol and allantoin all of which are beneficial for hair too. Secondly using oils on your hair since you will be producing less and less sebum as time goes by. Limit or avoid oils rich in oleic acid because it can be comedogenic and irritating, silicones do not moisturise BTW.
You could make or 'doctor' some of your own products to save money? SMT's are a common deep treatment - a cheap conditioner plus honey plus aloe vera plus a natural oil or butter if you wish. Here in the UK sugar syrup is cheaper than honey and has much the same humectant effect.

E46 Airbag DashLight question
Hi There,
I am at that stage that i am really desperate of understanding what the issue is whit this airbag error on the dash.
I just failed the NCT twice (the guy that had the car before had a peace of black tape covering the dash light so first time it wasn't working at all. The second time because it was on when the car was running..) because of it and i am no where near close to solving the problem...
I have checked all airbags are connected and none of them is missing, i also connected the Passenger sensor under the the seat as it was disconnected, i did absolutely every possible fix i could find around the forums, and yet the still get the light to go off. ( can it be a case where you need to reset the code now using a diagnostic tool?)
I dropped the car in the garage before all of the above, and what they told me is that they need to change the entire power cable ( the positive one) that runs from the battery up to the engine to have it fixed ( according to their diagnostic tool it was a "connection error" ( which can be explained by the fact that the passenger seat sensor was not connected at all)). They priced me 700 euro for that cable, excluding labour ( prob. 2 hours) and VAT ( so it might jump to 1K+).
Browsing here and there looking at all error codes i haven't seen any one mentioning this type of fix, it usually is something to do with the passenger tension mat or the seatbelt pre-tentioner or faulty wires under the seats.
Before i go and sped 1k on what is supposedly the issue i really want to ask if some had / heard of this type of problem before?
I would say it might be possible if you smashed the car or anything, but mine has never been hit and none of the airbags ever exploded so i think that it might be something very easy to fix? I just order a reading tool so i can better understand the error code myself but surely (from what i have been reading) no one had that issue before that you need to change the entire power cable.
Any help / tips appreciated.
Well there's a way you can pass the nct for 0 outlay..bag will still fire in a accident etc..just take out the clock and wire the bulb to the abs light. It will then mimic that and come on and go off..save yourself from going mad
Seems as great idea And will definitely try if i cant get it fixed you know for less than 1k.. My main concern though is what the garage told me. I use these guys a lot and if they are "fixing" something that is working and the error lies somewhere else it would definitely raise some questions
The component that your garage are saying that needs to be replaced is the Battery Safety Terminal or BST. This unit has a pyro charge on it that detonates in the event of the crash. The detonation disconnects the main battery cable from the battery cutting the engine out but leaves a smaller cable attached to allow hazard light to work & central locking to pop open.
Every unit in the Multiple Restraint System (MRS) reports a resistance value to the Airbag conrol unit (MRS unit). The values are typically between 3-5ohms. If the control unit detects a reading either more or less than this value from any of the units connected then an error code is thrown. The connected units include:
- Airbags
- Crash sensors
Did they tell you the exact code that was thrown? It seems as though they have honed in on the specific item (BST) so they must be using some reasonable diagnosis solution. Did they say the error said resistance too high or too low? There is a yellow or grey cable (see yellow connector with thin cable in the picture below) going in to the battery terminal & this can sometimes get disconnected, this will give a "resistance too high" error, check to see that it is plugged in.
If there is a "resistance too low" error then the internals of the BST unit have failed. I won't advise this but you could put a 3ohm resistor in line with this yellow cable to fool the MRS unit in to thinking that the BST is alright. Or course in the event of the crash it would be unknown what would happen with the pyro in the BST, your engine might not cut out.
You could look at sourcing a 2nd hand BST cable, on EBay they are there from €110 to €160:
Good luck.

Here's an example of just some of the erros that an MRS can report. This just to give you an idea that it's not just as vague as "airbag light on", "airbag light off". Deeper troubeshoting can be done.

sounds like they dont know what they are talking about. connection error may mean that there is no communication with the airbag control unit. Different diag systems will have different ways of discribing faults so you may be getting dragged up the garden path. You shouldnt really expect the light to go out by playing with a few connectors at random according to forums. Step one should be to get the event memory checked by somebody who knows these cars well enough to be able to make an accurate diagnosis.
Now it makes a bit more sense, the chap that had the car before did some extremely weird DIY fixes that were totally baffling. The small back cable with the yellow connector on the end (excuse me not knowing the terms, quite knew to this :blush: ) was cut in half ( why? no one knows) i manage to get that one replaced with a new one.
The error code they tend not to say what exactly is in case you want to just diagnose your car and then go fix it yourself (which make sense). The tool they were using was massive it kinda looked as a briefcase and they specialise in BMW, and the only thing he said is and i quote " The tool keep saying connection error, connection error" ( which is why i though well the tension mat under the passenger seat was disconnected so it make sense to show this error) So far they were never wrong in anything they said / fixed and i really have hard time believing that this power cable can cause such an issue ( now that i know what it actually controls it makes way more sense to trigger an error light).
Thank you very much for the explanation at least it brought some more confidence back i will see if i can try and find a cable, in any case i wouldn't mind paying as far as i know that i am not being screwed...
Cheers Man!!!!
Bringing it to the garage tomorrow morning to get it sorted.
Cheers Folks!!
I may have a BST cable lying about il have a look and let you know, there are instances where the BST cable can blow if someone jumps the car off directly off the battery also so keep that in mind.
Different diagnostic devices will show different descriptions, some refer to it as a battery isolation switch or something to that effect.
If your stuck let me know,I can plug it in for you and see what happens.
With regards to price the guy who quoted you is a complete goon, the cable can be bought from bmw for around 350 euro, its a repair section and takes no more than 40 mins to fit.

The Art of Manipulation and Misdirection
Last week, I listened to an economist talk about Apple's complaints that Qualcomm had charged Apple too much for access to patents. What was fascinating was that Apple had folks focused on the 5 percent Qualcomm had charged it instead of on the massive profit that Apple made on each phone. The price of the iPhone 8 likely will be well over $1,000 — but it could cost well under $500 to build.

always hear with kids is that kids will rise to your highest level of expectations. So if you expect them to get Cs in school, they'll get Cs in school. If you expect than to get As in school, you turn around and, wow, they're getting As in school. Is it kind of a matter of expectations? That if you expect to get to level 4 and 5, you do? Or is it a difference in culture, do you think, David?
David: Well, I think there's a big cultural component to it. I think there's a big marketplace component to it. I think in some cases, too, that maybe the work force is perhaps more accustomed to a disciplined process, or is more accepting, perhaps, of a disciplined process. And so is eager to move on. And I think the other aspect of this that sort of works with that, is the notion that the Indian government and software industry have decided to make a very conscious effort to become recognized in the software world. And have latched on, if you will, to CMM-based software process improvement as one way of gaining recognition, and through that recognition, hopefully gaining market share. One thing that occurred, or one notable event during the conference was actually the close-out of the conference. And it was done by Dr. Kohly, I hope I got his name right, but he was the former president of Tata Consultancy in India, and Tada is an enormous organization there, and their consultancy services is basically their software arm. And he talked a little bit about the positioning of the Indian software industry, and he made an interesting analogy, which was I think perhaps along the lines of your statement there Carol, about trying to encourage people, because although there was sort of a celebratory mood, let's say, within the conference, and within those attending from the Indian software industry, he said, "You know what? We in India are earning..." And I'll make up the numbers, but let's say they have captured maybe 3.5%. It was something, it was less than 5% of the worldwide software market. "And we have a billion people in India." He said, "You know, the Israelis have about 2.5% of the worldwide software market, and they have 3-1/2 million people. So before we get too exuberant about our performance and our result and our focus and progress in software here, maybe we should stand back and really take stock of where we are and what resources we actually have to apply and how well we're actually doing." So he was kind of providing a little bit of sobering, if you will, to the crowd. And I think as you said, laying out a challenge for those in attendance, to say "we need to expand the kinds of software we're developing, continue to make a name and attracting revenue and business into the country." And I think a lot of what they have done has been primarily in the IT arena. Perhaps less so in some of the more emerging kinds of technologies, you know, mobile networks and things like that.
Carol: Right. When you were saying, it just kind of hit a chord, when you said that these companies are so new, it kind of rang an analogy with the voting that we had happen here back in November, where the newer states had the most advanced voting mechanisms, and the older states were still using a lot of old things. And what hit me about what you said about India having these new

Brian Kenny and Jay Harris are back as the 6 PM anchors. For a period of time Neil Everett and Stan Verett were the anchors, and neither of those two are really enjoyable. Kenny is okay, but I am starting to enjoy Harris, who is one of ESPN's newer anchors. As a wrestling fan I still would like to see Jonathan Coachman take over, but I do not see that happening anytime soon.
Adrian Peterson on Entourage? I could honestly care less about that at this point, the show is garbage, and I doubt AP appearing will be funny either.

I bought a Linx 10V64 4GB Ram with the main purpose of streaming xbox one wirelessly to it, for casual gaming whilst the wife is watching the main TV.
Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the 5G band on my Virgin Superhub 2, as it only can see/connect to 2G, thus the xbox stream is very poor. Looking at the box is states 2G wifi on the back, so I may have made a mistake.
Is there anything that can be done (in software or by upgrading my cable router), or should I return it and save up for a surface?
It's a shame, because it's a nice bit of kit.
