SAN FRANCISCO — Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, finally pulled the wraps off his latest game at the Game Developers Conference on Wednesday morning. Literally.
Kojima has actually been unveiling Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in stages since late last year. In August, he announced an open-world game called Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
Then, in December, at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, a trailer for a game called The Phantom Pain was shown, but was not directly linked to the Metal Gear series or to publisher Konami. Instead it was said to be a production of a developer called "Moby Dick Studios," which as far as anyone could ascertain, did not exist. Spike TV's Geoff Keighley did an interview with the putative studio head of Moby Dick, one "Joakim Mogren," whose head was covered in bandages for the duration of the interview.
As the Game Developers Conference session began, Kojima entered the room, his head covered in bandages, taking the stage to show a new trailer. The video of the game made everything crystal clear, ending with a title card that read Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, surprising precisely no one.
"The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes put together is Metal Gear Solid V," Kojima said after removing the bandages. He then picked up an Xbox 360 controller (though he said the game was running on a PC) to play through a section of the game's tutorial. Taking place in a hospital under attack, it shows the series' main character Solid Snake waking up after being in a coma for 9 years. He has serious trouble moving (and his left hand has been replaced by a metal hook), so the player makes him crawl on his hands through the hospital, following behind a character whose head is bandaged up just like Kojima's was when he entered the room.
Kojima says Metal Gear Solid V is an open-world game, as was promised at the announcement of Ground Zeroes in August. But, he noted, the tutorial hospital-crawling scene was "on rails" to get the player used to the game's controls.
After the trailer, Kojima quickly left the stage and other team members discussed the features of Fox Engine, the new tools that the Kojima Productions studio is using to create the incredibly realistic-looking game.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Because it's not possible to see and do everything during the three days of Annual Meeting (October 5-7), IHA will feature a number of social media offerings, giving everyone a chance to catch more of the conference online both during and after the event.
Each day of the conference will have its own 'Live Blog' post dedicated to publishing new updates as they happen. Expect to see information relative to the various tracks being offered as well as photos and videos from Annual Meeting activities.
Simply visit blog.iowahospital.org throughout the day and click on the Live Blog post for that day at the top of the page. Refreshing the blog post throughout the day (or returning to the site) will display any new content that has been published since the last viewing.
Of course, the only way for it to be fully successful is if everyone joins the conversation, makes comments and provides feedback. For conference attendees, all of this is possible at the Social Media Station located on the third floor of the Des Moines Marriot Downtown, across from the Annual Meeting registration desk.
Individuals are also encouraged to keep the conversation going on Twitter by using the official conference hashtag, #iha2010am.

Beginning next week, Vodafone Group PLC, Europe's largest mobile phone company, will begin offering customers in selected markets high-speed mobile data service based on new 3G (third-generation) technology, the company said Thursday.
More than three years after acquiring pricey mobile broadband licenses around Europe, Vodafone is entering the new wireless market with the launch of a dual-mode PC card for 3G and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) networks. The data card service for notebook users is the first of its kind in Europe, the company said.
The Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card will initially allow users to download data at speeds up to 384K bps (bits per second) and upload at speeds up to 64K, according to Vodafone spokeswoman Emma Conlon. The service is roughly 10 times faster than GPRS, she said.
Vodafone, which is weighing a US$30 billion-plus bid for AT&T Wireless Services Inc., will launch the data card service next week in the U.K. and Germany, and in Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden over the next four weeks, it said. The company will expand 3G coverage continually to its other markets over the next four years, it added.
Although pricing for the new Mobile Connect service will vary from country to country, Conlon said it will be based on GPRS tariffs and include a premium fee, which she declined to provide. To use the service, customers must pay for a data card, monthly subscription and transmission usage, she said.
German subsidiary Vodafone D2 GmbH said Thursday it will offer customers two pricing options: one based on minutes; the other on data volume. Three different packages for each will be available. The Time XXL package, for instance, offers users 30 hours of connectivity for €69.60 ($89.28) per month; every additional 10 minutes cost €1.04. The Volume XXL package, also available for €69,90, includes 150M bytes; each additional megabyte costs €1.04.
Commercial 3G phone service is slated for the second half of this year, according to Conlon. The launch, she said, depends to large extent on the availability of quality handsets.
Availability of light, low-power phones continues to be a major challenge facing operators. Europe's first 3G operator, Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. (3 UK), was forced to drop a planned Christmas promotion for a prepaid phone service after its suppliers, Motorola Inc. and NEC Corp., failed to deliver enough lighter, less energy-consuming handsets before the holiday shopping rush.

Bma parts vs Autohauz
Anyone notice BMA parts raising their prices a wee bit too much? I used to get all my parts from them, now it's Autohauz for me. A lot cheaper. I noticed they hired a new manager now, before that it was a nice lady by the name of Christine who was so helpful, and now, that guy. After they hired him prices just skyrocketed. I emailed him questioning why so high ? That it was the reason e46fanatics bought so much from them, and he replied with an arrogant email. Sucks..but oh well.
Bma has been cheaper for me with the spece30 5% off code.
Its been active for a long time and I'm sure everyone uses it, maybe that's why they raised prices.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Bimmer App
I think for certain vehicle model's they've hiked it up but for e30's it's been relatively the same, only a few parts have gone up in price. But I will check out Autohauz as well. Have you tried rockauto or any of the other one's?
RMEuropean.com seems to have the cheapest prices for a lot of BMW parts. Used to buy from BMAParts. Rockauto seems to have too many shipping charges for a few parts.
I'm always comfortable ordering from autohauz, I think they have decent prices.
Sent from my G6
I think its a ploy to make up for their cheap prices. One time I wanted to order 2 items and the combined shipping prices almost equals the parts itself, smh.
Sent from my G6
i dont like BMAparts, i bought a brembo rotors and it rust like hell!

Former Las Cruces coach accused of illegally performing physicals on juveniles
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - A former basketball coach who was arrested last year on multiple felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child is now charged with illegally performing physical exams on at least three juvenile student-athletes.
Erik B. Khan, 33, is charged with one count of criminal sexual contact of a minor, a second-degree felony, and three fourth-degree felony counts of practicing medicine without a license.
According to the Las Cruces Police Department, their investigators and agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations learned that sometime prior to the 2007 basketball season, Khan allegedly performed physical exams on Picacho Middle School student-athletes even though he was not licensed to practice medicine in New Mexico.
Investigators determined that Khan allegedly conducted physical exams on at least three student-athletes in a locker room at the school.
"There was definitely physical contact between this subject and the students. These physicals that he is alleged to have performed definitely dealt with having children in various stages of dress or undress, so they were what a normal kid or athlete would consider a full physical," said Dan Trujillo, spokesman for LCPD.
Trujillo said Khan chose a day that real doctors were giving authorized physicals at the school.
"At the time I think a lot of people thought he was a doctor. From the information we received from the young children some of them actually called him Dr. Khan," Trujillo said.
In May 2012, Las Cruces police detectives and agents from HSI arrested Khan on 15 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child. In that case, a Las Cruces police electronic forensics expert learned through an automated software program that a computer in Khan's residence was possibly being used to download or share child pornography. The investigator determined that between Sept. 9, 2011, and May 7, 2012, there were possibly hundreds of illegal files stored or downloaded on Khan's computer.
Las Cruces police investigators executed a search warrant on Khan's residence in 2012, and allegedly discovered hundreds of computer files containing child pornography.
Detectives learned that Khan served as a basketball coach at Picacho Middle School and volunteer coach at Mayfield High School. He also is believed to have served several years ago as a counselor for juvenile sex offenders in Mesa , Ariz. Khan is being held on federal charges at the Dona Ana County Detention Center.
Jo Galvan, spokeswoman for the Las Cruces Public Schools District, said they are implementing a new policy for physicals performed at schools.
It will require district officials to verify the medical professionals giving the physicals are licensed, physicals will be performed in an open setting.
It will also make it clear that students will not be required to remove any clothing, a rule that has always been in place.
"It's going to be much more structured and formalized. We need to make sure that there's someone who can verify the licenses of the private professionals there working and giving physicals. We need to make record of who's there," said Galvan.
Anyone with additional information related to this case, or anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a similar crime, is asked to call Las Cruces Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tips can be sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Just picked up a Canon EOS 300D, suggestions?
Its my first DSLR. I picked it up for a 125. to learn the SLR hobby. Ive always used your basic point and shoot. So, I am a rookie trying to learn basic photography. I figured this would be a great camera to help me learn. Any advice on learning photography, books, vids, etc?
Congrats on the new camera!
I am just starting out as well but I found that taking tons of pictures while systematically changing the settings (aperture/shutter speed/ISO) to see the effect on the photo was a great help.
Google the basics of aperture/shutter speed/ISO and then just experiment with the various settings on your camera.
I bet there are some youtube videos telling how to best use your specific camera.
Have fun with it!
The book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is always highly recommended. I was at a Barnes and Noble a while ago and was killing time when I ran across it....gave it a look and I can see why its so highly recommended, he explains the exposure triangle in a very beginner friendly way.
You might want to check out this site too, I love it.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php? (Canon Digital Photography Forums)
I learned a ton reading the tutorials from cambridgeincolour.com
Welcome to dslr photography! Time to start reading and practicing!
I hope it wasn't just a body or else the next suggestion is to get a lens :)
Research aperture, iso, shutter speed for the basic. Don't use auto mode, understand your camera, shoot, shoot, shoot, share your photos, shoot, shoot, and shoot some more.
Congrats on your new gear and welcome to the dslr world.
Congrats on the camera. Enjoy, practise and read like mad.
There are several things to consider when contemplating a serious move into photography:
1. Total cost outlay at the moment, and its impact on future cash outlays.
2. Do you have a a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Rule of thirds, the triad of ISO-shutterspeed-aperture. Among others
3. Where do you want to be in 5 years with your photography.
4. Will you go for the super sharp images of prime lenses, or the convenience of the zooms (I am a prime user)
It is very easy to fall into the trap of buying gear, only to find after a few weeks or months that it does not fit you. Keep in mind that it is the glass not the body that makes the most difference in the quality of the shot.

The renminbi, also known as the yuan, has made its debut on the list of the 10 most actively traded currencies, according to a survey released by the Bank for International Settlements on Thursday.
Daily renminbi turnover soared from the equivalent of $34 billion in 2010 to $120 billion in early 2013, making it the ninth most-traded currency.
The renminbi registered a share of 2.2 percent of global foreign-exchange trading volume, mostly driven by a significant expansion of offshore transactions, the BIS said.
The survey took place in April, with central banks and other authorities in 53 jurisdictions participating. These bodies collected data from about 1,300 banks and other dealers and reported national aggregates to the BIS, which calculated global totals.Read More...

Submitted to: American Society of Civil Engineers
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/10/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Shallow ground water is being recognized both in humid and arid areas as a supplemental water supply for crops. Shallow ground water management techniques have been developed for humid areas but not for arid areas. Soil salinization and plant salt tolerance criteria have been the major concerns which limited the development of shallow ground water management in arid irrigated areas. Improved irrigation water management techniques, new plant salt tolerance data, limited water supplies, and new surface water quality criteria have been factors in developing shallow ground water management methods in arid areas. Several techniques are available to manage shallow ground water. Flow from existing drainage systems can be restricted or stopped which maintains higher water tables and permits crop water use from shallow ground water. Crop use from shallow ground water can be induced by modifying irrigation schedules. Changing drainage design criteria and installation of future drainage systems to bring the water table closer to the soil surface is another alternative. Use of these techniques will result in improved irrigation water management and reductions in surface water pollution due to reductions in saline drain water discharge.
Technical Abstract: General descriptions of shallow ground water management are active and passive. Active techniques include any method which can be used to modify the water table position. Passive techniques are management alternatives which have an effect on the water table but not one that is not well defined or controlled. An example of an active method is the installation of controls on a subsurface drainage system to restrict flow from the laterals and reduce the depth to the water table which enables longer crop use. Recent studies in arid irrigated areas have shown this to be a feasible method. Installing the drains at shallower depths and relaxing the depth to water table criterion is another active method of shallow ground water management. Modifying the irrigation schedule is a passive method to induce crop uptake from shallow ground water. Recent studies have developed crop coefficients for cotton which account for crop use from shallow ground water and extends the irrigation interval. Field studies of shallow ground water management using cotton and tomato crops have demonstrated reduced irrigation amounts while maintaining yields and quality.

And then, I let them have at it. I reminded them that it might be a little challenging but that I wanted them to take a risk and give it a try.
For their first attempt, I was so pleased with their results.
The kids felt the need to write. So, I provided PostIts.
They were very happy and willing to use this tool.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Hollywood is interested in turning the life story of Steve Jobs into box-office gold, baby!
Aaron Sorkin, who won an Oscar for the script that became last year's smash-hit film about the founding of Facebook, "The Social Network," says Sony Pictures has approached him about writing a screenplay for a movie about the Apple co-founder.
"Sony has asked me to write the movie and it's something I'm strongly considering," Sorkin told us at the P.S. Arts Express Yourself 2011 event in Santa Monica.
Sony reportedly bought the film rights to Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Jobs, who died in early October at age 56 after a long struggle with cancer.
Sorkin said he's reading Isaacson's book, but isn't yet committed to the project.
"Right now I'm just in the thinking-about-it stages," Eonline quotes the screenwriter. "It's a really big movie and it's going to be a great movie no matter who writes it."
I beg to differ with Sorkin because it's anything but certain the movie will be great "no matter who writes it." There are a million ways a film can get screwed up. But one thing is for sure: A biopic of Steve Jobs will be made.
Given that obvious fact, who should play the coveted title role? Let's start by listing some actors who probably won't be getting the part:
Sylvester Stallone
Charlie Sheen
Michael Richards
Chaz Bono
Will Smith
Jackie Chan
Adam SandlerVerne Troyer
Conversely, these names might merit serious consideration:
Robert Downey Jr.
Johnny Depp
Jude Law
Brad Pitt
Alexander Skarsgard
Chris PineJim Carrey
I added that last one as a joke, but if you saw Carrey in "Man On the Moon," you'd know he can bring the kind of intensity to the role that someone playing the ultra-focused Jobs would need.
Most of my short-list actors are in their 30s and 40s, so I'll leave it to Hollywood to handle the parts of Jobs's life when he was both much younger and older.
Let's hear who some readers would like to see play Jobs. Feel free to post your suggestions in the comments box below.

In the present study, we investigated whether motion streaks, produced by fast moving dots Geisler 1999, distort the positional map of stationary flashed objects producing the well-known motion-induced position shift illusion (MIPS). The illusion relies on motion-processing mechanisms that induce local distortions in the positional map of the stimulus which is derived by shape-processing mechanisms. To measure the MIPS, two horizontally offset Gaussian blobs, placed above and below a central fixation point, were flashed over two fields of dots moving in opposite directions. Subjects judged the position of the top Gaussian blob relative to the bottom one. The results showed that neither fast (motion streaks) nor slow moving dots influenced the perceived spatial position of the stationary flashed objects, suggesting that background motion does not interact with the shape-processing mechanisms involved in MIPS.

Japanese Mobile Wallet Concept On Its Way To Singapore
With the ever growing number of handphone users in Singapore it is quite obvious that this personal communication device can also be used as a mobile wallet, just like in Japan.
In spite of this, Singapore mobile carrier Starhub has announced in a press release dated 16 June 2008 that it has signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with top Japanese mobile phone carrier NTT DoCoMo to test and pilot the Osaifu-Keitai (lit. translation: mobile wallet) service in Singapore.
A mobile wallet is simply a software that makes use of a mobile phone equipped with a contactless IC card (think EZ-link) enabling the phone to be used as a transaction device. This allows the phone to be used for taking train rides and purchases in stores with stored credit. That is, instead of tapping your EZ-link card when going through MRT barriers, you could be tapping your phone on the sensors instead.
Besides using the technology primarily for transportation, it also has the capability to handle transactions similar to credit cards and loyalty cards.
Singapore, as stated in the press release is the first country out of Japan to test the Osaifu Keitai service, following a successful NFC (Near Field Communication) trial by Starhub back in October 2007.

Expert Advice: Who Won?
By Logan Scott
Thousands of man hours and millions of dollars later, we finally have the 975-page GPS Technical Working Group (TWG) report, confirming what five minutes of back-of-the-envelope calculation predicted. Hooray for our side, good job GPS Industry Council; we've won the war and the foe is vanquished, never to brighten our skies again.
Well, maybe. LightSquared is now bypassing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and submitting technical papers directly to the United Nation's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Working Party that handles mobile satellite services (MSS) and radio determination satellite service (RDSS spectrum) and orbits (ITU-R WP 4C).
A few comments to all participants:
To the FCC: Quoting from the National Legal and Policy Center's February 2, 2011, rather damning letter to U.S. House members Darrel Issa and Edolphus Towns: It is "the special responsibility of federal agencies to not only avoid conflicts of interest, but to avoid even the appearance of conflicts." Integrity counts. It shouldn't require congressional intervention for the FCC to do the right thing. An abbreviated, 10-day comment period ending the Monday after Thanksgiving on a ruling of this magnitude and one which would have severely damaged national infrastructure if left unopposed? What were you thinking?
After wiping the egg out of your eyes, you also might look around your organization and discover you have engineers. They're the ones who use terms like bandwidth, compression point, and interference. They can tell you things about engineering issues. Your engineers are actually quite good and know what they are talking about. Use them. Listen to them. Maybe even put some on commissioners' staff. A B.S. degree shouldn't be a disqualification for helping to set national policy on technical matters.
To Department of Homeland Security (DHS): GPS is critical infrastructure and needs to be designated as such. If anything, this exercise has demonstrated how easily we could lose the benefits of GPS. LightSquared was not even targeting GPS, but if implemented as originally planned, its system would have damaged diverse areas of critical infrastructure; both civil and military. As a nation, we are entirely capable of shooting ourselves in the foot; no terrorists needed. We have no backup to GPS; protect it.
To LightSquared: You have a great system concept, but there are sound engineering reasons why the bands adjacent to GPS were designated for space-to-Earth mobile satellite services (MSS). Separation between GPS and high-power systems is essential, particularly with the current state of the art in GPS. Claims that you have been working with the GPS industry for the last eight years and that we gave "the green light to those plans" (June 30, 2011, Recommendation of LightSquared Subsidiary LLC, page 16) do not ring true. Even the most casual analysis of your plans shows significant harmful interference to GPS.
Some further observations on your recommendations: Trying to game the system and redefine what constitutes harmful interference (1dB versus 6 dB) is probably not a great idea given the GPS system navigates our airplanes and provides E911 capabilities. We routinely use up all of our margins and then some. A 6-dB hit is a big hit on position robustness.
Similarly, don't play games with statistical propagation modeling. Your proposed Walfish-Ikegami line of sight (WI-LOS) models are wholly inappropriate for low-altitude aircraft using GPS for precision approach and landing. They are based on LOS street-canyon measurements made in the city of Stockholm and are not intended for handsets more than 10 feet off the ground. Two-ray models accounting for ground reflections show LightSquared signals at levels 6 dB above free space predictions several miles out (Figure 1). Live-sky testing at Holloman and Las Vegas showed "above free-space" levels even for some ground mobile users (June 15, 2011, National Public Safety Telecommunications Council [NPSTC] filing with the FCC, page 7, Item 3). Coverage models are not appropriate as safety-of-life models.
Upzoning the entire 1.6-GHz MSS band is not likely any time soon, at least in the United States. Figure out what you can do with less spectrum and less power in the low end of the S-E MSS allocation or find other spectrum; maybe pay for it like other cellular operators did. Don't forget E-S interference, there are dragons there as well. Develop a transition plan and expect to pay for it.
To the GPS Industry: We have long lived in a world of clean, unobstructed spectrum — and it has been wonderful. At this June's JNC2011 conference, Air Force General Kevin McLaughlin (U.S. Strategic Command) noted that space is increasingly "congested, competitive, and contested." The same can be said for radio spectrum. LightSquared is trying to make good use of ~68 MHz of largely fallow spectrum straddling ours to provide a valuable and sorely needed wireless data service.
There is no successful business model in providing MSS services only. Motorola and Loral/Qualcomm proved that with their Iridium and Globalstar MSS systems. Both original ventures ended in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. LightSquared is the third or fourth incarnation of Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV), which ended in bankruptcy. The core business problem is that MSS is expensive to deploy, provides very little capacity (bits/sec/Hz/km2), and these systems offer poor building penetration. Upzoned for terrestrial services (that is, cellular or ancillary terrestrial component, ATC), LightSquared's spectrum allocation is worth about $15 billion for the license alone at current auction prices, and that's for only the United States. With spectrum growing increasingly scarce and valuable, we in the GPS industry should expect, and be prepared for, the day when this spectrum is repurposed. It is not my intent to be an apologist for LightSquared, merely to illuminate the fact that this is potentially very valuable spectrum and it is not going to be MSS forever, especially if someone offers to pay for it.
LightSquared was stopped, at least temporarily, by regulatory constraints applicable only within the United States. In effect, the GPS industry lobbied for a 34-MHz guard band and won — maybe. This is not a sustainable position. LightSquared may yet prevail on the international stage and/or in a diminished capability. Also, be aware that in parts of the world interference now makes GPS unusable, for example, Balkan ports and parts of Africa.
We in the GPS industry can and must take steps to improve our ability to operate in congested spectrum. The TWG report showed enormous variations in receiver resistance to out-of-band LightSquared interference. Using a 1-dB C/No degradation criteria, in FAA-certified aviation receivers there was 26 dB of variation in LightSquared signal rejection (Table 3.1.1, page 42). In high-precision receivers, more than 30 dB of variation was seen (Table 10, page 243). Against LightSquared F5L (the lower frequency, 5-MHz-wide LightSquared signal, 1526.3–1531.3 MHz) modulation, high-precision receivers showed more than 70 dB variation in susceptibility to LightSquared interference (TWG Appendix H.1.1.10, Figure 38). Clearly, there are good ways to build a receiver, and bad ways. We need to do better.
Among the steps to consider:
- Narrow front-end bandwidths. If you don't want to be affected by out-of-band jamming, don't let it in. This is antijamming (AJ) 101. The corollary of course is that most AJ techniques degrade position accuracy, and so it is with filtering. The C/A code is about 2-MHz wide but there are good anti-multipath motivations for using a wider bandwidth. GPS satellites have roughly a 28 to 32 MHz transmission bandwidth. Beyond that, there is nothing except interference. Filter accordingly and don't forget: antenna selection plays an important role in determining overall receiver frequency selectivity.
- Higher 1-dB compression point. Consider designing for a higher 1-dB compression point, particularly if you must use a wider bandwidth front end, say for phase linearity in precision survey receivers or for multipath rejection or for military signals. This also improves IP3 and mitigates intermodulation effects. IP3 is the third-order intercept point of an amplifier and is one of the more important parameters in describing the linear range of an amplifier. Low IP3 leads to higher intermodulation distortion, a process wherein two out-of-band signals can mix with each other in the GPS receiver to produce a third frequency within the GPS band. Yes, higher compression points lead to slightly higher power consumption, but out-of-band signal tolerance improves greatly when combined with downstream filtering. In the longer term, consider adaptive equalization methods.
- Use L2C and L5 signals. Currently, nine satellites on orbit broadcast L2C and one broadcasts L5, with another IIF successfully launched July 16. One major reason precision receivers fare poorly against interference is that they require wide front ends to implement codeless and semi-codeless modes to measure L2 carrier phase for widelane ambiguity resolution. Wide bandwidths are also needed to precisely measure L1 pseudorange, again for ambiguity determination. Using L2C/L5 mitigates the need for wide-bandwidth front ends and at the same time creates signal diversity in carrier-phase tracking.
- Report interference. One of the most stunning shortcomings in many GPS receivers, both civil and military, is their inability (or unwillingness) to report jamming and spoofing. In my work with DHS on the National Risk Estimate, one recurring theme across industry sectors is how confusing it is when GPS gets jammed. GPS is often deeply integrated with other systems to the point where it becomes invisible until it fails, and then its failure causes weird failure modes in dependant systems. For example, mobile satellite communication systems can fail if the GPS position is wrong; the antenna gets pointed the wrong way. A simple "I am jammed" alert would go a long ways towards diagnosing problems and taking corrective actions. This is as true for LightSquared signals as it is for personal privacy devices.
- Integrity Monitoring. If you are lucky, interference causes a signals outage. Some interference types can capture receiver tracking loops and yield false positions. The effects of out-of-band interference on tracking are not well understood. Constantly checking for signal integrity and navigation integrity (for example, receiver-autonomous integrity monitoring) can detect many adverse results without imposing a significant burden on the GPS receiver. The algorithms are well documented. Use them.
Winston Churchill is famously quoted as saying: "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing — after they have exhausted all other possibilities." At this point, I think we are still looking at some of the other possibilities and I wouldn't count the LightSquared situation as a victory for anyone just yet. There is still ample opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but by taking a proactive stance, both politically and technically, we can improve our chances.
Also, a nice pair of wellies might be a good investment; it's a big barnyard.
Logan Scott has more than 32 years of military and civil GPS systems engineering experience. At Texas Instruments, he pioneered approaches for building high-performance, jamming-resistant digital receivers. While at Omnipoint, a cellular carrier, he developed cross-system interference mitigation strategies. He holds 33 U.S. patents.

French Lads takes us to France to find all sorts of guys from smooth twinks and average amateurs to well-built muscle hunks and athletic jocks - even a couple daddies. Most of the lads are smooth, but there are some with body hair and even a few with facial hair including some very sexy beards. Some of the guys are skinheads, there are some guy-next-door types and tattooed bad boys. There are a couple of Arab guys, a few brown-skinned guys, and even a couple of mature bearish men. The performers here are European, so you can expect lots of foreskin on French Lads, and there are heaps of big cocks, too.
The action here is all over the map as well. Most of the sessions feature sucking and fucking, and there's plenty of kink and a couple of solo jack-offs. The site has outdoor sex videos, which I always like - nothing hotter than watching a couple of guys getting naked outside and going at it in places where they shouldn't. There's a lot of scenarios that involve rough sex, forced sex, gangbangs, deep throating, sneaker sniffing, blindfolded guys used for another guy's pleasure, darkroom scenes, and piss play. There are quite a few videos with guys in sports gear playing together and even a few coach / team player type of scenes. And there are 35 group sex videos. So if you like your sex a little on the dirty side, I think you'll like what you find here.
French Lads has grown to 470 episodes, and a new video is added every Monday and Thursday. The videos are DRM-free and are offered in MP4 format. The newer downloads and streaming videos are sized at 960x540, a more satisfying size than the streaming vids used to be. The newer downloads are offered in a second, smaller size (good for mobiles) while older downloadable vids are sized at 640x360; some streaming videos are also available in a lower bandwidth version. The videos are average to fairly good amateur quality; some of the videos could have been a little more crisp while others look pretty good. The videos are shot using natural room lighting and often a hand-held camcorder.
There are also 156 picture sets. These are pretty good quality screencaps, the older pics sized at 800x450 and the newer at 1186x665. While the sets are small - most have between seven and 21 pics each - they are hand-selected to show off the guys and the action very well. Slideshows are available, and the older picture sets come with downloadable zip files, but the newer ones aren't offered for download either by individual picture or set.
For those looking for extras, the site offers 16 gay feeds in a variety of niches. These include the feed versions of such popular sites as Falcon, Rear Stable, Fratmen, and Fetish Force, and you'll find everything from horny twinks to tattooed leather men and bears, jock sex to raunchy bareback and fetish. Each feed offers 20 videos, so there are a total of 320 bonus vids to enjoy.
Let's talk about the downsides. There's a pre-checked offer on the billing page below the form, and also pre-checked email offer on the join page. The thing that stood out for me is that this site offers members only limited downloads, although unlimited streaming. The first month, members can download four videos, the second eight videos, and you must be a member for seven consecutive months or longer to be able to download 20 vids per month. As with our last visit, the search usually does a good job, but if you look up the word "uncut," you get only a single result, which is odd for a French site.
I like watching sex that's a little rougher, dirtier, and more creative, so I was pretty pleased with the offerings on French Lads. In fact, if I had the time, I'd be loading up a video a couple of times a day and jerking off all month. I liked the 470 videos that are computer and mobile compatible, the two weekly updates, and the variety of guys, as well as a mixture to suit whatever mood I might be in: there's outdoor sex, dirty basement fucking, gangbangs, forced sex, foot play, and there are even the few piss scenes. If you love European men and uncut cock, French Lads will probably get you pretty fired up.

I freely confess that I did not seek permission from the Putin government to write these words. I understand that in Putin Land official permission is required when commenting negatively about the Great Leader. Of course, positive remarks do not necessitate permission. Oleg Stein of A Just Russia party led some folk on an unsanctioned rally that linked up with a sanctioned rally, but Oleg misses the point of having sanctioned rallies. Frankly, there is a fine for participating in an unsanctioned rally that linked up with a sanctioned one.
Steiu was fined $600 rubles. Of course, Mr. Stein is still upset at losing a race for mayor which he claimed was marred by invalid votes. the Election Committee agrees there were some invalid votes cast, but since we already knew who would win, what exactly is the problem and why is this Stein guy protesting?

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Monday he is seeking to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a regional meeting in Beijing in November, the latest call from Tokyo for face-to-face talks amid testy diplomatic relations.
Abe pointed to the two nations' huge trading and business ties, saying they are "inextricably" linked despite the row over the Senkaku Islands and historical grievances largely tied to Japanese militarism in the first half of the 20th century.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum later this year would be a possible venue, Abe said.
"I want to hold summit talks (with Xi) during the APEC meeting in Beijing," he told a Diet committee, responding to questions about relations with China. "My door is always open for dialogue and I hope the Chinese side adopts the same stance."
Abe and Xi, both strong nationalists, have not held a bilateral summit since they both came to power more than 18 months ago.
Abe has repeatedly called for a meeting with Xi and also with his South Korean counterpart, Park Geun-hye, since he swept to power in late 2012.
Xi and Park held talks in Seoul earlier this month, while Park visited China last year.
Abe also called for future talks with Xi during a visit to Australia and New Zealand last week, as did his close adviser Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
Tokyo and Beijing have long been at odds over territorial claims and Japan's military record before the end of World War II.
Rising tensions have seen Chinese ships routinely sail into waters near the disputed East China Sea archipelago, while Japan has scrambled fighter jets to ward off intrusions near its airspace.
Relations took another hit again this month after Japan moved to relax restrictions on the use of armed force in a controversial change to its postwar pacifism.
In an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun on Sunday, Abe declined to say whether he would visit the controversial Yasukuni Shrine on the Aug. 15 anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.
China was furious over Abe's December visit to the shrine, which honors some senior military and political figures convicted of war crimes among Japan's war dead.
Many conservative politicians make an annual pilgrimage to the leafy site in central Tokyo, angering Beijing and Seoul, which say Japan has not faced up to its wartime past.

NY Times asserted Libby case "polarized public opinion" -- polls show otherwise
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER
A July 3 New York Times article reporting on President Bush's commutation of the sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, asserted that "[t]he criminal case" involving Libby "polarized public opinion almost as much as the [Iraq] war itself." The article added that "[c]onservative backers of Mr. Bush contended that because no one was charged with leaking" the identity of former CIA agent Valerie Plame, "the investigation should have been dropped altogether," while "[o]thers said that lying to a grand jury was a serious offense." In fact, public opinion polls have consistently found a strong majority agreeing with the jury's verdict and the court's sentence. Additionally, opinion polls taken prior to Bush's commutation of Libby's sentence found that a strong majority believed Bush should not pardon Libby.
A November 8-13, 2005, Harris poll found that "[a] 56 to 18 percent majority of adults" believed that Libby "is guilty." Additionally, an October 30-November 1, 2005, CBS News poll found that 61 percent of those polled said that "anything" Libby may have done (e.g., lying to the FBI, lying under oath, and obstructing a federal investigation) was "serious enough to deserve criminal prosecution," while only 14 percent said "anything" he may have done was not serious enough to warrant prosecution. Further, a majority of both Republicans and Democrats concurred with these results. The same CBS News poll found that 39 percent of those polled believed the charges against Libby were "probably true" while only 4 percent said they were "probably not true." 54 percent of those polled "did not know enough" to make a decision.
Further, public opinion polls have found that either a majority or a plurality believed President Bush should not pardon Libby, although they did not poll on the question of commuting Libby's sentence:
- A June 26-27 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll found that 47 percent of voters said Bush "should not" give Libby a pardon, while 20 percent said he should.
- A March 11-14 Gallup poll found that "Americans are 3-to-1 against a Libby pardon." The poll found that 67 percent of respondents believed Bush "should not" offer a pardon to Libby, while 21 percent believed he "should."
- A March 9-11 CNN/Opinion Research poll found that 69 percent of respondents believed that Bush "should not" offer a pardon to Libby, while only 18 percent believed he should. Additionally, 52 percent believed Cheney "was part of a cover-up to try to prevent the special prosecutor from getting to the truth about who leaked CIA agent Valerie Plame's name to the news media," while 29 percent believed he was not.

While this might all be fascinating to you, we're sure that you are going to want the meat and potatoes information. The recent leak of Big Red's MAP list apparently had the pricing correct as the aforementioned tipster confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 822 will be priced at $99.99 and the HTC 8X will cost $199.99, both with the obligatory two-year contract. He also says to expect the pair to launch via Verizon on November 8th. That is quite a few days earlier than the MAP list called for, which should make Windows Phone fans on Verizon (the both of you) quite happy.
Lastly, the tipster says that Verizon will be offering for free (most likely with a signed contract, of course) some mysterious Samsung manufactured Windows Phone 8 device. This is not the Samsung ATIV S but some other model that has not yet been seen by the public. It all sounds interesting and confirms Verizon's push into Windows Phone 8. All that is left is for Verizon to make the necessary announcements. With AT&T rumored to be pushing back its launch of the Nokia Lumia 920 from November 4th to November 11th, we wonder if this move gave Verizon the impetus to step in front of its rival with an earlier launch of its Windows Phone 8 models.

Printer-Friendly version
The best part about this movie is the multitude of things going on, I mean the stage is set with a murder plot but that�s only the icing on the cake as we quickly delve into the vastly debatable theory behind the afterlife. The good thing there is that this film doesn�t get overly preachy with the gospel of things and though it does take a page from WHAT DREAMS MAY COME on some levels, it leaves out Hell completely and embraces merely the idea of heaven. Using these tools in any film is a gamble but I have to say (being someone who loves rolling the dice with those types of films) I was impressed by the way it was handled and happy that it didn�t use another �in your face� level of tactics.
Now back to the feast for the eyes end of things; this movie looks fantastic and shines like a supernova on Blu-ray. Jackson�s vision of the afterlife is bold, yet simple. He never goes overboard into a supernatural or evil realm instead he focuses upon simple acts of beauty in nature, shadowed imagery for tension build up and gorgeous colors and landscapes for the happy times that blew me away. Again, this has been done before, but there was a slight of hand present here that felt new and exciting. The watery fields, the birds and tree and especially the scene where the light caught the murderer�s glasses and gave off the image of horns were my personal favourites and were just plain well done.
THE LOVELY BONES was a very engrossing film that took me on a journey rather than just having me turn off my brain for two hours. There are many underlining concepts here, but the great thing about that is that they�re all relatively debatable and will be interpreted differently depending on the viewer. As far as not being totally true to the novel as people are boasting, well, when are movies totally faithful, trust me people it rarely happens so get used to it. Stanley Tucci was a great villain, Wahlburg was �so, so� but the real applause go to Suzan Sarandon (she�s still got it) and Saoirse Ronan for stealing the show. I was worried about the ending for awhile there but it packed a nice punch (a sly wink at fate/what goes around) and left me smiling.
Filming The Lovely Bones: Peter Jackson and the rest of the team wanted to give us something a little different than your standard �making-of� segment and instead chooses to show us how everything came together for them (out of sequence) as opposed to seeing it from beginning to end. Peter Jackson�s a great host and this feature actually runs an hour longer than the two hour film.

Trib HS Insider Q&A: McKeesport's Eddie Stockett
It has been a season of transition for McKeesport senior quarterback Eddie Stockett. The Akron recruit, who passed for more than 1,700 yards in 2011, had to adapt to the team's new option offense that made him as much of a running threat as a deep passer.
Despite the alterations, and a right calf injury that kept him out for most of the second half of the Tigers' Week 2 game against Woodland Hills, Stockett has not thrown for a score yet this season but has run for six. That includes three rushing touchdowns last week against Norwin in the team's first win.
Q: What was it like to finally get a win?
A: It was like a lot of the pressure left the team's shoulders. Once you get the first one out of the way, there's probably more to come.
Q: Against Woodland Hills, you had to be taken off the field. How scared were you at that time?
A: I thought the worst. It was just a strain, a pulled (calf) muscle, and I felt real good coming back. But I thought the worst. I thought I'd be out for a long time, rehab and therapy, but there was no way I was going to let my family go to war without me.
Q: What has this season been like adapting to the new offense?
A: I feel like we're a lot quicker, and we're still a young team. We have to adapt to our personnel and our personnel is more for run-and-gun and get to the outside and run it in the middle a little bit. Our coaches recognized our personnel and did the best thing for our personnel.
Q: Do you miss throwing the ball 30 times a game?
A: There's nothing like dropping back and reading a defense and letting it fly. But I like to run the ball as much as throw the ball. It's definitely new, but I'll run the ball and do whatever the team needs me to do.
Q: What do you like to do when you're not playing football?
A: I just like to hang out with my friends and family and, Wednesday or Thursday before a game, me and a couple teammates will go out to dinner and have a nice relaxing day and talk about our assignments for Friday.

Everyone has the right idea. In the past I have painted a few cars with this same problem. Sand down to the primer with 80 grit. Go back over the car with 180 grit. Be careful along the edges. Run water over the car in sections and look for any imperfections that may occur. Water will high light any imperfections or deep scratches that may show up after your base coat. Prime the car with three coats of a water base etching primer. This will take care of any spots you sanded thru to bare metal by accident. Add another coat on all the edges of every thing such as wheel wells, door jams. Think you know want I mean. By using a water base primer you will be covering the old paint and primer and should have no lift off off the old material. Water base is a God saver if you don't know what was sprayed before. Make sure you wipe down the areas you are going to primer with a good cleaner and rags. Your paint shop can recommend what to use. Once you have the primer down, you can start sanding with 320. Ask your paint shop for the product data sheets for the type of paint you are going to lay down, ei: Flssh times between coats, size of spray nozzle, ect... Each maufacturer has their requirements that need to be adhered to. Once you lay down the top coat follow the instructions for applying the clear coat. If you are spraying at home in the garage you should check with your city and find out what restrictions they may have so you don't have a nosy neighbor calling in on you. Most shops these days are going to a waterbase material due to environmental issues. It goes on thinner and will require additional coats. If you have NEVER sanded with a DA, I would recommend you block sand by hand after laying a guide coat down in getting the primer ready for your base coat. It will take a bit longer but you won't have waves were you sanding a little more than other areas. The guide coat will reveal any high or low spots you may want to take care of before the base coat. Sand in the directon of the panels. Mainly front to back, never cross hatch or sand the guide coat in anX pattern. Never sand using just your fingers either. Use a backing pad or a foam pad that will help apply even pressure. If you have any questions fell free to call me at 682-227-3095
