Matt Barkley (48-84, 624 yards, 9 touchdowns)
Mitch Mustain (48-85, 714 yards, 8 touchdowns, 1 interception)
James Boyd (1-1, 8 yards, 1 touchdown)
Three questions answered in the spring
1. Barkley is ready to make a major leap forward.
There is no replacement for experience or competition. After 12 starts last season, Barkley learned from the latter this spring, enjoying a push from Mustain and the new staff under Lane Kiffin.
It helps that Barkley lost weight and is in far better shape than last season. That should allow him to be more effective moving in the pocket and avoiding pressure.
2. Mustain can step in and succeed.
The other beneficiary of open competition, a clearly rejuvenated Mustain closed spring on a tear, throwing five touchdowns in the Trojan Huddle.
While he never publicly said it, Mustain was clearly frustrated by a lack of opportunity and even practice time last season. With new opportunity, he turned up his intensity and also showed better command of the offense than in years past.
3. Boyd is a project, but a very interesting one.
Rare indeed is a move from defensive end to quarterback, but that's exactly what the former Los Angeles Jordan two-sport star did in April. Learning to work from under center and just getting familiar again with the position, Boyd struggled with the transition, but showed flashes, ending on a strong note with his spring game touchdown pass to Kyle Prater and key block for Dillon Baxter. He is a physical phenom and seems willing to put in the work necessary to succeed.
Maybe, just maybe, Boyd could have his say in replacing Barkley a few seasons from now.
Three questions for the fall
1. How long is Barkley's leash?
With a schedule tailor-made for a strong start - none of the Trojans' first seven opponents ranked in the top 50 in scoring defense last season – the sophomore should fare well before facing Oregon in what projects to be the Pac-10 game of the year. But what happens if he struggles, when does Mustain get a shot?
The previous regime was completely unwilling to pull Barkley, as demonstrated by the mishandling of the quarterback position before the upset loss at Washington. Kiffin should have no such qualms about giving him the hook.
He had success with the much-maligned Jonathan Crompton in his one season at Tennessee. The light came on in Crompton's senior campaign, throwing for 27 touchdowns. Mustain is certainly more talented than Crompton and would have a better supporting cast.
Still, it would likely take a major flop by Barkley for the former Razorback to get his chance.
2. Where does Barkley fit in the Pac-10 hierarchy?
Welcome back, conference of quarterbacks.
After a few lean years, ceding that title to the Big 12, the West Coast is again home to the best crop of signal callers in college football.
Jake Locker and Andrew Luck will likely battle to be the first pick in the next NFL Draft. In terms of pure talent and professional aspirations, Barkley is right with them.
But his actually production to date puts him behind Nick Foles of Arizona and probably on the same level with Oregon's tandem of Nate Costa and Darron Thomas, who have limited experience but will operate in an extremely friendly system.
Barkley must perform like a top tier quarterback for USC to reclaim the league title.
3. Who is the third quarterback?
Lakewood's Jesse Scroggins will see plenty of reps in camp, but the coaches have made it clear they would like to redshirt him. Boyd has the raw talent, but is still probably a year or two away from really being able to contribute.
If Barkley and Mustain go down, Scroggins would probably get the call.
Of course, at that point, why not just hand the reigns to Baxter and let him freelance?
Matt Barkley showed great accuracy in the deep passing game this spring.

Morbid obesity: evaluation of metabolic indexes after adjustable silicone gastric banding

Morbid obesity is frequently associated with other characteristics of metabolic syndrome and is related to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed at evaluating time–course changes in body weight, body mass index (BMI), insulin sensitivity indexes and lipid profile in severely obese patients who underwent adjustable silicone gastric banding. We studied 19 obese subjects before and 6–36 months after surgery. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed in all non-diabetic patients. All subjects were evaluated using insulin sensitivity indexes (ISI-HOMA and QUICKI), lipid profile, and anthropometric parameters (WHR, WC, BMI), and body composition was assessed with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Most of the weight reduction occurred within the first 6–12 months, followed by near stabilisation or even weight regain. We found a significant decrease in fasting insulin, improvement in waist–hip ratio, reduction in BMI and fat mass percent. We observed an improvement in insulin sensitivity evaluated by means of ISI-HOMA and QUICKI. Bariatric surgery was an effective therapeutic approach for these obese patients because it reduced both weight and insulin resistance, along with improving metabolic parameters. Improvement in metabolic parameters appears to precede body weight reduction.

Fact: Guitarist Tim Reynolds has played on all but one Dave Matthews Band record ever released. Fact: Reynolds gained serious popular acclaim in 1999, when the Matthews/Reynolds duet album Live at Luther College was released. Fact: Reynolds' most popular song is "Stream," a blistering solo number from the Luther College album. Fact: Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews are good buddies. Fact: Tim Reynolds will not play any DMB songs at his show on Saturday, nor will he play "Stream." Opinion: Tim Reynolds is something of a wacko maverick genius.
All drivel about the road less traveled aside, you've got to be at least intrigued by a guy who stares fame, fortune, and the adoration of countless young girls straight in the face and then turns away. That is, in effect, what Reynolds has done by eschewing the glittering path of luxury forged by his alliance with Matthews, whom Reynolds met in his hometown at the time of Charlottesville, Va., where Matthews tended bar at a joint that featured a regular Reynolds weekly solo gig.
A decade later, Matthews leads a multi-platinum-selling band and is a pinup idol. Reynolds, well, Reynolds registers under his own name at hotels and peppers his interviews with gleeful profanity and rants against The Establishment.
Listening to a number of the tracks from Reynolds' latest album, Nomadic Wavelength, brings to mind the solo acoustic guitar virtuosity of Leo Kottke and, to a lesser extent, Michael Hedges—not exactly what you'd expect from a guy who cites metal bands like the Deftones and Mudvayne as current listening favorites. "I've got two listening modes," says Reynolds, "one for pure sonic satisfaction, like the bands I named, and one that feeds my work. But the sounds that influence my music aren't necessarily music, even. Ambient noise from everyday life figures in pretty strongly to what I do."
Reynolds must have spent time in a militant insect colony, if his theory of musical sources holds true. "Repeat the Question," a five-and-a-half minute cut from the album, begins with a deep bass rumble and then is layered, piece by piece, with a series of repeated effects that results in a cacophony resembling nothing so much as a twisted ant death march. It's songs like "Question," and "Long Distance Caller"—a series of industrial electronic effects stacked atop a simple percussive beat and punctuated by vaguely phone-button-sounding tones—that give a glimpse into the peculiar aural aesthetic possessed by Reynolds.
"I try to stay away from meandering folk-music type stuff," says Reynolds of his songs, "and that new-agey crap makes me barf." To that end, Reynolds now comes equipped to his solo shows with an electric guitar, a baritone 12-string electric, and a sampler alongside the acoustic six- and 12-strings that form the backbone of his material. Still, he admits it's a fine line between "meandering folk music" and his unconventional sensibility when it comes down to the one-man, one-guitar dynamic. "I try not to get too self-involved and stand there looking at my shoes," he says. "But I don't jump around and go apeshit like I do with TR3 [his once and perhaps future power-rock trio]."
There will be times during the show, Reynolds claims, that "it'll sound like a full metal band up there." He cites one song in his current live repertoire that features three of his guitars playing concurrently, an accomplishment made possible by the treasured delay pedals at his feet. Much of Reynolds' accompaniment onstage is brought via sampler from home, where he records the loops and percussion that anchor sections of his live material. And where he used to rely on a good deal of improvisational playing—many of his older songs were written serially, onstage—Reynolds has lately emphasized a firmer structure in his songs. "As a listener, I like songs to have a beginning and an ending," he says. "So my music is becoming more and more like songs in the conventional sense."
Still, he takes the freedom to mess around with his stuff as the show progresses: "Actually, having more of a structure to the songs sets them up better for improvisational opportunities."
Asked about the titles to his tunes—how do you name a song with no words?—Reynolds is typically contradictory. "In the studio, the music comes first, and then I name it depending on the feel of the song," he says. "Unless I'm thinking strongly about something when I write the melody, and then I'll name it after that." OK, what about "Los Alamos is Burning"? "Man, that whole town was burning. I came home [to Santa Fe] after being on the road, and the fires were 30 miles away but you could see them without binoculars. I wrote that song that evening, literally out of sadness," he says. "High in the West"? "Well, it's a lesson in Buddhism that was originally titled "Heaven is in the Heart, Hell is in the Head, Tibetan Book of the Dead," he says, "but that was too clumsy so I shortened it. I guess now it's just somebody being high."

Swiss information commissioner Hanspeter Thür claims Google has not done enough to make faces and vehicle number plates unrecognisable in the street level photographs provided by the service.
But Google says the service was introduced two months ago only after it had been given the green light by Thür following several meetings.
"We met with the Swiss Data Protection Authority before and after the launch, explaining our technology and, where requested, proposing steps that would reinforce Street View's privacy-protection and assuage any concerns," said Peter Fleischer, global privacy counsel for Google.
The decision to take the matter to court is "regrettable" and suggests the Swiss Data Protection Authority is unwilling to engage with the solutions Google has offered, he said.
Google listed five proposals submitted to the Swiss Data Protection Authority in a blog posting, including setting up channels for feedback and reporting problems.
"We will contest any case vigorously. Street View has proved very popular in Switzerland since its launch and Swiss people only stand to suffer from this decision," said Fleischer.
It is the first time that Google has faced a lawsuit from a government agency over Street View, according to the Financial Times.
Privacy groups or regulators in a number of countries, including the UK, Italy, Germany and Japan, have raised concerns about Street View, but Google has negotiated measures to assure them.

Photos: See SkyTran's proposed magnetic-pod monorail from Boulder to Longmont
Last week, we posted graphics and more about Hyperloop, a proposed high-tech transportation apparatus developed by Daryl Oster, an inventor in Louisville.
But while the first Hyperloop Mark I is being proposed for California, another system, a magnetic-pod monorail called SkyTran, is being pitched for these parts: It would connect Boulder and Longmont. Look below for details, including graphics, videos and specifics about an informational meeting Thursday about the concept.
As noted by the Boulder Daily Camera, the main booster of the project is SkyTran Colorado CEO R. Paul Williamson.

SkyTran, followed by several videos about the concept.
According to Williamson, the initial Boulder-Longmont SkyTran would run approximately fifteen miles, from the RTD Park and Ride at Table Mesa Park to the Longmont Diagnoal. The monorail track would be built above ground, mainly along the Highway 36 median, with the three-person-capacity pods powered magnetically, with solar panels providing much of the electricity. As a result, SkyTran would allegedly save 90 percent of the power costs over more traditional transit approaches.
How fast will it go? Technically, Williamson says, the SkyTran pods should be able to travel at 150 miles per hour. But given the comparatively short hop from Boulder to Longmont, the local version will likely max out at sixty MPH, getting people from here to there in about fifteen minutes, the Camera estimates.
Williamson puts the cost for the whole she-bang at $250 million, which he portrays as a relative bargain. Expect him to explain how during an informational get-together at the Boulder Public Library, 1001 Arapahoe Avenue. The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. Thursday.
In the meantime, check out the following graphics, courtesy of

text: Posted March 11, 2009 Got it last night -- pretty cool game! I hear it is more arcadish compared to MLB the Show, but I don't have a PS3. Anyways the game is pretty realistic, I was impressed. Also I like the daily player updates that affect your players if they come off a bad or good game in real life. Graphics were pretty clean and has the signature batter box animations for the players. However just an FYI for any baseball game fans, I hear this is the last year for the 2K series because EA Sports has signed an MLB licensing agreement for next year and I hear that The Show for PS3 is safe for now until their contract runs out. This is according to the Game Stop employees. Anyways in conclusion, a decent & realistic game for the baseball fan at heart! :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kieft Lab research interests - overview
RNA is the most versatile of all biological macromolecules. It can encode genetic information (like DNA) and also fold into complex structures essential for complicated biological functions (like proteins). Research in the Kieft Lab is seeks to understanding how the structures of viral RNA drive diverse function, motivated by the fact that: 1) Viral RNAs have evolved to perform myriad functions, often of amazing subtly and elegance, giving us a diverse set of RNAs to study. 2) Viruses remain a substantial human health threat and a detailed molecular understanding of them is required to develop new therapeutics. 3) Many viral RNAs manipulate the host cell's machinery; by studying how this happens, we learn fundamental things about basic biological processes.
Our goal is to understand these RNAs and their function in detail. We are not satisfied to know that that a certain mutation in a specific RNA causes a loss of function, we want to know why. We ask questions such as: What is the architecture and the conformational dynamics of a certain folded RNA? What does the RNA interact with and how? What are the implications of these interactions? Do mutations alter the structure of the RNA? How? What does this mean in terms of function? Our approaches include cell culture-based methods with disease relevant cells, in vitro activity assays, biochemical studies, x-ray crystallography, biophysical methods like analytical ultracentrifugation and thermal denaturation, chemical probing, native gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, etc. We are also beginning to employ single-molecule FRET experiments (in collaboration with the lab of Ruben Gonzalez, Columbia Univ.) and hope to soon start cryo-EM studies.
Viral IRES RNAs: molecular hijackers. Of major interest in our lab and the focus of many student thesis projects are viral internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs). Certain viruses recruit, position, and activate a host cell's ribosomes by a process that does not require the mRNA to be capped, but rather is driven by a structured RNA called an IRES. IRESs often operate using far fewer protein factors than are needed by the canonical cap-dependent mechanism, and this raises an interesting question: How can RNA structure functionally replace the cap and many protein factors, and in so doing "hijack" the host cell's ribosomes? Using a combination of structural, biochemical, biophysical, and cell-based approaches we are trying to understand the mechanism of IRESs from viruses as diverse as HIV-1, the hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the intergenic region (IGR) of the Dicistroviridae. Current efforts include crystallographic studies of IRES RNA domains bound to ribosomes, smFRET studies of IRES-ribosome complexes, identification of factors that bind to IRESs, and mapping of the functional regions of IRES RNAs.
tRNA-like structures: mimics of ancient molecules. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are ancient and fundamentally critical for life. It is not surprising that some viruses mimic tRNAs in diverse ways. For example, some plant-infecting RNA viruses have a "tRNA-like structure" (TLS) at the 3' end of their genome that is aminoacylated and this is important for success of the virus. Another example is the "vtRNAs" that are produced during gammaherpes virus infection, exported to the cytoplasm, packaged into the viral particle, but whose function remains mysterious. Some IRES RNAs can also mimic tRNAs, and almost certainly there are other tRNA mimics waiting to be discovered. What are the structures of these RNAs? What do they interact with? How tRNA-like are they? We are fascinated by the idea that there may be undiscovered biological pathways in both healthy and diseased cells that use tRNA-like molecules. Currently, we are using a variety of biochemical, structural, and functional methods to study various tRNA-like RNAs from diverse sources, understand their structures, and relate this to function.
Poliovirus ciRNA: an elegant antiviral countermeasure. Our collaborator, Dr. David Barton, discovered a sequence in the protein-coding portion of the poliovirus (and other group C enteroviruses) RNA genome that is a competitive inhibitor RNA (ciRNA) of RNase L. RNase L is part of the cell's normal interferon-induced antiviral pathway and hence the ciRNA is an "antiviral countermeasure." We are exploring the three-dimensional structure of this remarkable RNA, the first RNA found to inhibit an RNase. We want to understand its interactions with the endonuclease domain of RNase L and how this blocks enzymatic activity. These studies give us insight into how structured viral RNAs can manipulate a host cell's machinery, and also how a single RNA sequence evolved under two independent pressures: to encode genetic information and to inhibit an enzyme.
Development of new methods. An important component to our research is the development of new methods for RNA structural studies. Recently, we developed a new method to purify structural quantities of RNAs using an affinity-tag based system and also a method to incorporate heavy atoms into RNA structures, allowing "first-time, every-time" phasing of RNA crystal diffraction data (collaboration with R. Batey, UC Boulder). These techniques have the potential to change the way RNA structural studies are conducted. We continue to test new methods in the lab, including HPLC-based methods for purification of RNA and large RNA-containing complexes, capillary electrophoresis-based RNA structural analysis, and new ways to study large RNPs…stay tuned.

ASA5510# rename asa706-k8.bin asa706-k8.old. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After upgrade to 8.3 version and asdm-6.3 we didn't accomplished to ping outside interface, make vpn to work, </span>although we permitted everything. So we decided to downgrade to 8.2(2) version with same asdm-6.3 and after few modifications (vpn,NAT,access lists) everything worked fine.
But just one day :-(.
The problem is that ASA booted old 706-k8.bin version and asdm-5.0. The whole room is on UPS and I don't think it's a power failure?
Cant it reboot by it self for some reason?
We used command boot system disk0:/asa8.2−k8.bin , asdm image disk0:/asdm−6.3.bin and wr to write to memory.
And the same problem after rebooting happend when there was 8.3 version. After power failure maybe or just by it self ASA booted old images?
What will happen if we erase all images and asdm and leave just 8.2 and 6.3 version.
I don't know what to do?Any suggestions?
What is the exact command did you try to remove the old boot statement?
Please try "no boot system disk0:/"image name"". You can verify the current
statements by issuing "show run boot". To answer your second question, you
can certainly remove all other images and leave only 8.2 image in there.

DEA Agents Investigated
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department inspector general's office said Monday it is investigating possible misconduct by Drug Enforcement Administration personnel in Colombia unrelated to the Secret Service incident with prostitutes at a Cartagena hotel.
The Drug Enforcement Administration said the probe began based on information provided by the Secret Service and that the DEA is making its employees available to be interviewed by the IG's investigators.
CBS News reported that three DEA agents were under investigation for allegedly hiring prostitutes in Cartagena.
The IG said it is receiving full cooperation from the DEA and that the IG is coordinating the investigation with the Homeland Security Department's inspector general, the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service and the Secret Service.
The DEA has permanent offices in Colombia. The Bogota-based DEA regional director, who oversees the Cartagena office, did not immediately return email or cellphone messages.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia.

"I chose to use this card for my son's high school graduation party invitation. I wanted a patriotic color palette since he is joining the military. I felt this was a more mature and elegant option than most graduation designs. I used the same fonts and colors as the example. I was able to add his senior picture to the back. This card turned out beautiful as do all that I order from Tiny Prints!"
"The invitation was perfect for our Memorial Day/birthday celebration, because of the subtle patriotic theme. I changed the font style, and wasn't overly happy with my choice when I received the finished product. I should have stuck to their default font recommendation for this invitation."
"I was looking for a Retirement Party Invite and this one allowed me to change all the fields so that I could customize it to what I wanted. Loved being able to include the pictures on the back."
"We used this for our weddinng welcome party at beach. It is cute, fun yet chic - not at all cheesy! We have received lots of compliments."
"This invitation was very simple to personalize and order online and looks great "in person." tinyprints' return policy was unexpected and much appreciated when I had to change time on invitation and reorder invitations."

Looking for a different version of this character?
|As a result of the 2011 initiative, the New 52, the entire line of DC characters was relaunched, incorporating properties belonging to the company's imprints: Wildstorm, Milestone, and Vertigo. As such, elements of this character's history have been altered in some way from the previous incarnation's. For a complete list of all versions of this character, see our disambig.
- Oh my brave, wonderful soldier. Live. For me. I love you, Helena.
Helena Wayne is the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, and was raised to become Batman's eventual successor.
Helena fought alongside her father as Robin. During her father's final moments she defended him from the Batplane by firing upon attacking Parademons. She witnessed his death when the tower he was inside exploded. She and her best friend Supergirl entered a Boom Tube in pursuit of someone they thought was Darkseid, and ended up in another universe.
Prime Earth
Stranded on Prime Earth, Helena adopted the name Helena Bertinelli so the local Batman would not be aware of her presence. Eventually, she started fighting crime under the name Huntress.
Helena appears in Italy to combat the local mafia after hearing their role in recent kidnappings and slave trading. After doing some minor heroics to an effort to show off, flex and investigate she meets and enjoys the company of two journalists, Allesandro and Christina. Due in part to their reports and her own stolen police reports she tracks down a man called Moretti, who takes kidnapped women for slaves and sells them to the highest bidder.
Robbing Moretti of his fresh cargo and exploding his shipments, Huntress is forced to kill on a few occasions where she's put to the test and had no choice. Unabated she continues her mission to shut down Moretti and his new allies over the bored of Italy. The Chairman and Moretti ally to take down their combined threat and devise a plane to lure Huntress into their turf to finish her.
Failing to trick the Huntress, Moretti is killed by her after he fails to make amends for the women he's harmed. Setting her sights on the Chairman and his son, Huntress continues through Italy chasing the last link in the chain of the mafia's extended connections. Finally, she finds the Chairman and takes him out of commission to which she uses this knowledge to manipulate the son. Telling him that he must leave Italy, return the women to their homes and never accost them or he would end up like his father.
Huntress returns to New York City where she runs into trouble with the local police officers who try to stop her plane from letting her off. Almost forced to shoot directly at the officers, Huntress is saved by her friend Supergirl, now using the name Power Girl. The two share a few sorted words before they remark how they should ally once again to better each other's lives.
World's End
Eventually Helena and Kara found their way back to Earth 2, where she was united with her grandfather Thomas Wayne, who was now going under the identity of Batman.
Powers and Abilities
- Resistance to Poison: Helena has a high hereditary immunity to all sorts of poison according to her father. [1]
- Peak Human Condition: Huntress works hard to keep her body in peak physical condition, using a training regimen installed by her father.
- Archery: Huntress carries her trademark crossbows on her at all times.
- Criminology: Helena grew up in a criminal environment which she was introduced to first as Robin then as Huntress.
- Driving: Huntress is an effective driver, able to her own motorcycle at varying degrees of above-average driving situations (being shot at, accelerating to high speeds and over semi-separated bridges).
- Martial Arts: Huntress is very much a street fighter, honing her skills in martial arts. One of the first steps on her adventuring career was to learn and enhance her fighting style. She learned various disciplines of martial arts.
- Investigation: Her father has mentioned Huntress's prowess during investigation situations. Following in his footsteps, she's one of her world's most prolific investigators.
- Marksmanship: Training with Batarangs and bolts from her crossbows, Huntress has had years of training which has drastically improved her accuracy.
- Multilingualism: She can speak both English and Italian fluently.
- Stealth: Huntress can be very stealthy when she needs to. With her specially outfitted suit and various toys in her utility belt she can sneak into a facility and learn whatever information she desires although she sometimes prefers to fight her way in.

"The Reserve Bank advised that Manappuram Finance Limited, Thrissur, Kerala, is not permitted under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, to accept/renew deposits from the public," the central bank said in a statement.
The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) said it has come across instances of acceptance of deposits by Kerala-based Manappuram Finance even after the firm converted itself into a non-deposit taking non-banking financial company, cautioning it was not permitted to do so.
"The Reserve Bank advised that Manappuram Finance Limited, Thrissur, Kerala (earlier known as Manappuram General Finance and Leasing Ltd), is not permitted under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, to accept/renew deposits from the public," the central bank said in a statement.
It added that acceptance of deposits either by Manappuram Finance or by its group company Manappuram Agro Farms (MAGRO) is punishable with imprisonment.
The statement also "cautioned members of public that those who deposit money with Manappuram Finance Ltd or MAGRO do so at their own risk".
Manappuram Finance was earlier registered with the RBI as a deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company. However, in March 2011 it became a non-deposit taking non-banking financial company.
"It has come to the notice of the RBI that Manappuram Finance has been accepting deposits from the public in its branches and offices and issuing deposit receipts in the name of Manappuram Agro Farms (MAGRO), a sole proprietary concern of VP Nandakumar who is the executive chairman of the company," the central bank said.
It added that in some cases instead of repaying the matured deposits, fixed deposit receipts are being issued in the name of MAGRO.
"In terms of Section 45-S of the RBI Act, acceptance of deposits from the public by MAGRO, which is an unincorporated body, is also prohibited," the RBI said.
In the early afternoon, Manappuram Finance was trading at around Rs47.85 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange, 15.83% down from the previous close.
The Reserve Bank has urged the public to remain alert and not to fall prey to frauds or scams perpetrated by individuals who impersonate to be employees of the Reserve Bank of India.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reiterated that it never contacts the public via unsolicited phone calls or emails asking for money or any other type of personal information. The Reserve Bank does not maintain/give money/foreign currency or any other type of funds to individual or opens accounts for/in the name of individuals. The Reserve Bank has urged the public to remain alert and not to fall prey to frauds or scams perpetrated by individuals who impersonate to be employees of the Reserve Bank of India.
RBI's cautions include the fact that it does not hold any accounts for individuals. It has said that the public must beware of impersonated names of RBI officials. Nobody from RBI calls up people about lottery winnings/funds received from abroad. RBI does not send any emails intimating award of lottery funds, etc. RBI does not send any SMS or letter or email to communicate fictitious offers of lottery winnings or funds received from abroad. The only official and genuine website of the Reserve Bank of India is (www.rbi.org.in) and the public may be careful and not get misled by fake websites with similar addresses beginning with 'Reserve Bank', 'RBI', etc., along with fake logos. Inform local police or cyber crime authority about such frauds.
The Reserve Bank of India has, on several occasions in the past, cautioned the members of public not to fall prey to fictitious offers / lottery winnings / remittance of cheap funds in foreign currency from abroad by so-called foreign entities/ individuals or to Indian residents acting as representatives of such entities/individuals.
Describing the modus operandi of the fraud, the Reserve Bank has stated that the fraudsters send attractive offers to gullible public through letters, e-mails, mobile phones, SMSs, etc. To lend credence to such offers, the communication is often sent on/from letterheads/websites that appear to be like that of some public authorities like the Reserve Bank of India. The offers are purportedly signed by top executives/senior officials of such authorities. While the names of the officials might be correct but their signatures are fake. The offer document would contain contact details of a so-called RBI officer working in some department in the Reserve Bank/public authorities.
The fraudsters initially ask potential victims to deposit small sums of money for reasons, such as, processing fees/transaction fees/tax clearance charges/conversion charges, clearing fees, etc. The victims are asked to deposit the money in a specified account in a bank. The fraudsters often have multiple accounts in the names of individuals or proprietary concerns in different bank branches for collecting such charges. Genuine but gullible account holders are persuaded by the fraudsters to even lend their accounts for such fraudulent activities on the promise of receiving some commission.
Once the initial amount is deposited, demands for more money follow with more official sounding reasons. After accumulating a sizeable amount in these accounts, the fraudsters withdraw or transfer the money abroad and vanish leaving the victims in a lurch. Many residents have already become victims and have lost huge sums of money by falling for such fictitious offers.
The public is advised to register their complaints with the local law enforcement agencies.

Purchased three Ebonite Zoom Predrilled Bowling Balls 6lb for the kids, and they all cracked after a few usesSo we purchased these as a no-crack solutionThe kids were excited at first but less than thrilled after actually bowling with them (since they're really rubbery, they bounce almost like a normal rubber ball and don't roll like a 'real bowling ball')The search for a durable yet satisfying kids bowling ball continues . . .

Smithsonian Museum Day coming September 26September 3, 2009 – 3:35 pm
The San Diego North County Times published this excellent heads-up about Smithsonian Magazine's upcoming Museum Day on September 26 and lists all participating San Diego county museums.
Mark your calendars. Smithsonian Magazine's annual Museum Day is coming up Sept. 26. The magazine launched the program five years ago to encourage museums around the country to open their doors free to the public one day each year.

Oxidation of BX Wires?
Was having trouble with a switch that was not working (i.e. controlling a Fluorescent fixture) Thinking the switch was defective I attempted to replace it, but when I wired in the replacement switch, it too also did not work.
I removed the switch and attempted to touch the two wires together to see if the fixture would work directly without the switch. Simply touching the two wires should have made a connection. It did not. It was only after touching the tips of the two wires did I get an intermittent connection. Thinking that the wires might be oxidized I tried sanding the ends of the wires, but that too didn't improve the situation, the connection was still intermittent
Further, the switch in question is powered off another adjacent switch by a wire looped through the other switches bottom screw (there are four switches in this gang box)
Would appreciate any assistance on this very weird situation!
You have a couple of different possibilities.
There could be a bad connection at the light fixture.
The cable between the switch and the fixture has a broken wire.
The ballast may be going on the fixture.
The ground has been compromised between the fixture and the switch.
I would start by checking for 120V between hot and neutral at the fixture. Then I would check for 120V between hot and ground at the fixture. If those are both true, then I would suspect a bad ballast.
Will check that this weekend and let you know... thanks for the quick response.

Those of you looking to enhance the iOS alarm experience may want to check out a new jailbreak tweak called AlarmDisplay Pro by iOS developer GSquared. AlarmDisplay Pro does two major things:
- Display a customized badge on the Clock application for showing alarm information
- Create an alarm from anywhere using Activator
Taking a look at the Clock application badge feature, as shown above, the tweak gives the user the ability to customize the Clock application so that it shows a badge depending on how the user prefers to see the alarm information. Users get to choose between having the badge show the total amount of alarms, the amount of active alarms, the time of the next alarm (either in 12 or 24-hour format), or not having a badge at all. All of these options are configured from the Settings application under the AlarmDisplay Pro preferences pane:
In addition, users can select an Activator action that can be used to set an alarm from anywhere. When the user invokes the Activator action that they choose, they will get the following interface, allowing them to set an alarm:
The user can use the rolling selector to find the time that they want to set an alarm for, and tapping on the sound button at the bottom lets the user choose an alarm tone that they want the iOS device to sound when the alarm needs to go off.
AlarmDisplay Pro is currently on sale for an introductory price of 99¢ and it's compatible with any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 6. You'll find it in Cydia's BigBoss repository right now!
Name: AlarmDisplay Pro
Price: 99¢ (limited time)

Husband dead, wife injured in Melbourne dispute
A man has died and a woman has been left seriously injured after a dispute at Avondale Heights in Melbourne's north-west.
An argument between a husband and wife appears to have triggered the sequence of events.
Police were called to Gaetana Street in about 7pm AEST after reports a man had shot his 72-year-old wife at a neighbour's house.
The 75-year-old man then returned to his own home, barricading himself inside.
The Special Operations Group entered the house about 11:30pm and found the man had shot himself dead.
Ambulance operations manager Danny McGuennisken says evacuating the woman from the scene was complicated.
"The crews, because of some dangers at the scene, had to move the woman from a house that she was in, out through the backyard of that house, through some parkland and into an ambulance vehicle that had been moved by a member of the Victoria Police," he said.
The man's wife remains in the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Some of you may be aware of the battle waged between Simon Cowell's latest X-Factor release and a facebook campaign to get Rage Against the Machine's 1992 single Killing In The Name to the top of the charts.
Well the people have spoken, it's number one.
Also the campaign raised over £60,000 for the homeless charity Shelter, and the band promise to give the windfall of their earnings to charity also, which I think makes it all very much worthwhile. (You can still donate: http://www.justgiving.com/ratm4xmas/)
Personally I'm glad, cause I've been a fan of their music for a number of years, and its good to see that this christmas we don't have yet another cheesy ballad churned out at number one.
For those who haven't heard the song here it is, but be warned, it contains repeated expletives:

I spend a lot of time in Princeton, but am also known to frequent NYC or sometimes Philadelphia on the weekends.
I'm a fairly quick learner and am pretty good with my hands. I can change a tire, I can throw a bowl, I can sculpt faces and heads. I can drive a manual transmission car, even prefer it, though I don't currently have one. I can spackle holes and can cut dry-wall. I can mix glaze, and have operated both gas and electric kilns.
I like to make things, and I like to use clay. I used to write, and (as most aspiring "writers," especially of the angst-laden-teen variety, often do) I thought myself possibly good, though I'm not sure that's objectively true. Regardless I'd like to start again.
I also like to sing.
I also have a loud laugh, and generally speak somewhat loudly, so that's another first impression I sometimes give.
Otherwise I'm not sure, but one of those (or perhaps multiple items) would probably be dedicated in some way to social interaction. I like contact. I don't mean that I necessarily "need" my cell phone, for example, but I like to explore and meet new people and to be exposed to different views and subjects that I might not find on my own. Maybe Reddit? Or something similar, I'm not particularly attached to Reddit specifically. One out of the six might be Reddit. Or more simply, perhaps just an internet connection, and a device with which to connect.

Gaza truce declared after 155 Palestinians killed in one week
A total of 18 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes on Wednesday in the Gaza Strip and five Israeli soldiers lightly wounded before the entry into force of a cease-fire at 1900 GMT, according to Palestinian and Israeli sources.
Meanwhile the Israeli army said that 122 rockets were fired Wednesday from Gaza into Israel. According to the police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, five rockets landed in Beersheba (southern) causing no injuries, in the early evening. The armed wing of Hamas, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, claimed to have fired 10 Grad rockets on Beersheba at 18:15 GMT and two others on Ashdod, in the south, just before the entry into force of the ceasefire fire.
The cease-fire announced by Egypt, is supposed to put an end to a week of military confrontation between Israel and the Palestinian movement of Hamas, which has killed 155 Palestinians and five Israelis, including a soldier.

Getting beginners to go
Many folks "doubt" their sailing abilities. Why not entice a group of likely prospects to sail on a boat with with you on daylight sails. Assume the role of benevolent captain and make them do all of the work. As they gain experience and confidence, they will be more likely to become adventurous and more likely to sail on their own bottoms in the company of other boats.
As they grow familiar with one another, those in the group will lose that "self-conscious" feeling that all inexperienced sailors have when others may be watching. Even with the best of conditions, sailboat handling presents more opportunities for embarrassment than anything else I can think of. Rather than risk looking foolish, many just don''t take the boat out.
Teach them that sailing is nothing more than a never ending series of problem solving exercises performed for the amusement of onlookers.
Once I figured this out, sailing became entirely different. Every time I "gaffe", I face the audience, doff my cap, and bow deeply at the waist. It always brings applause and cheers.
As a singlehander, I get many opportunities to perform -- and to learn.
Good luck on your quest to get these folks off their duffs.

Ahoy me matey, read the Pirate tale and learn. Money and sailing have nothing to do with each other. Thank god. Pirate of Pine Island
Getting beginners to go
It seems to be a universal fact that 80% of the boats in a marina leave their slips only 20% of the time. I suspect you are fighting an uphill battle and should concentrate on the other 20%. I have had some success prying some of these people loose from shore with tales of wild and interesting parties at the other end of the trip but only in a limited way. Try to sell the fun.
Getting beginners to go
I am the cruising fleet coordinator at my yacht club located on Lake Michigan. I coordinate 4 cruises each year. One is 130 nm, the others are around 20. I get a lot of feedback from people who never do any of the cruises, yet seem to have an interest. Their reasons for not going are varied, but I suspect they are afraid to even go on a 3 or 4 hour (one way) overnight cruise. Lake Michigan has a reputation for kicking up fast, yet some of these concerns seem absurd to me. i have used the "cruising in a group" tactic. Any suggestions, or should I just give up the timid beginners?

Let's cut through the confusion and look into some details you need to know about reverb and delay pedals. Here are a few helpful hints for choosing the best pedal.
First things first: analog or digital? The majority of digital reverbs are actually digital iterations of popular analog pedals. Moreover, digital reverb pedals are able to reproduce all sorts of various effects beyond the capabilities of analog.
Sweetwater carries a huge range of reverbs and delays. Hall reverb pedals create a warm, concert hall effect that will last from 1 to 3 seconds. Chamber pedals provide clarity, warmth, a short decay time; somewhere from 0.4 to 1.2 seconds. Plate reverb pedals create a full, smooth sound and are perfect for when you don't want to catch a lot of the listener's attention. Plate pedals mimic the process of sending a signal into a device with a large metal plate that vibrates, thus resulting in sound reflections. Room reverb pedals offer a bunch of early vibrations which end with a fast decay and small frequency roll off. These rapid-acting pedals usually last from 0.2 to 1 seconds. Spring reverb pedals copy the popular reverb effect in many guitar amplifiers, with a sharp, distinctive sound.
When we're talking about controls, the decision depends on which kind of player you are: do you love experimenting with a lot of controls or do you simply prefer one, two, or three knobs that get the job done? Reverb pedals with multiple controls are very versatile, while non-complex ones require no fuss — just set it and forget it.
When it comes to delay pedals, there are several factors to take into account.
Analog delay pedals provide a warm, natural, simple tone, with a short delay time. Their sound is just like a real echo. Digital delay pedals, on the other hand, offer a precise, clean, sound and long delay times that let you create long loops. Digital pedals can also produce rhythmic patterns with the echo, letting you structure the echoes like notes. Properly used, you'll be able to craft an echo rhythm that successfully fits the piece you're playing.
Delay pedals add brand new dimensions to the sound, simulating the sound of another guitar player, and contributing extra texture to your music.
One thing's for sure: your Sweetwater Sales Engineer will be happy to help you make the final call on what reverb and delay pedals fit your needs best. Give us a call and we'll answer any questions you may have! Learn More
Sweetwater's Sales Engineers are regarded as the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the music industry, with extensive music backgrounds and intense training on the latest products and technologies. They are available to offer you personalized product advice any time you need it.

July 2013 Anthony Garland
Even though it may still only be at the Kickstarter level, this Practical Meter is quickly gaining buzz and momentum. This nifty little gadget helps troubleshoot and solve one of the most annoying issues with charging via USB: seemingly random charge times. While it is easy to understand why this happens, it still is very frustrating as until you use a USB port you will not know how it will react. This is because not all USB ports are built to the same standard and not every one of them can push the same amount of power to a connected device.
The Practical Meter solves this 'gremlin by taking a two-step solution. The first part consists of a small 4.3cm, 8.5 gram USB dongle. Much like Centech Power Meter, you first plug this into a USB port and then plug your device to the other end of the dongle. As the USB peripheral draws power, the meter's built in 5 'power bar' LED will show you in real time how much power is being used with one bar equalling 1 watt of power. This will tell you if you have a problem but will do nothing to solve it.
This is where Power Practical's 3 in one power cable enters the equation. On one end is a standard full sized USB 2.0 port which splits into three cables: a mini-USB, micro-USB, and an Apple 30-pin plug. Each cable's header has built-in optimized charging circuits, which will ensure maximum power draw and remove slow charge time issues. This kit sounds like the answer to many people's problems, though we do wish the '3 in 1' cable was a '4 in 1' as it is missing Apple's latest Lightning port. Either way, this sounds like a great idea and we suggest you head on over to the Kickstarter page and get in on the ground floor.
Help spread the word. You're awesome for doing it!

Why yes, yes they are.
Why yes, yes they are.
i was having DL problems then after a but it just started working. i keep re opening it to update. i cant wait for the sylvari ^_^ i love how they are plants. also their areas are so beautiful. it kinda sucks they are wiping our old chars before this beta but then again gives a chance to start new chars an try out new things. i like how GW2 doesnt use the usual human,elf,dwarf,undead races. also i hope the engineer update is used in this beta. i really like using the engineer.
Well I don't know much about GW lore but aren't the undead pretty much the super bad guys? I mean, as it is right now it seems like all the races are "good" guys in their own way.
How is necromancer? I havent heard much about it
as far as i know the undead were only in part of prophecies and the end part of NF from GW1. i played the necro a bit last beta and it was fun nothing too incredible imo. also idk if it gets better later but in my experience minions suck. they die so fast and do little damage. ranger is the pet class lol
I'd say in GW2 the only true villains we know of so far are POSSIBLY the dragons ( we don't know if they are outright evil, although it is safe to assume they do not give a damn about the other races and the sylvari are basically natures response to the awakening of the dragons), The Flame Legion who were basically the entire reason for the actions of the Charr in GW1 but are now branded as outcasts and untrustworthy in GW2............and they seem to embrace that, and finally the Nightmare Court. The Nightmare Court is a splinter group of Sylvari who worship the dark parts of the "Dream" and seek to bring other sylvari to their side no matter the cost, in fact their goal is to corrupt the Pale Tree itself.
Also, worth noting that the reason female charr were never seen in GW1 is because the Flame Legion view woman as inferior. In fact, the female Charr were the ones that gave the final push that forced the Flame Legion to surrender completely. As a result, female charr are once again considered equal and fight along side the males as the Flame Legion no longer had power over anything.
also the sons of svanir in GW 2 are what the norn are fighting against. and the asura are fighting against the inquest. then the humans fight against the centaurs.
Just curious, is playing a different race harder to play with your friends? (i.e I want to be human, he wants to be charr) or will it be easy to see and meet up to play with each other regardless of race?
any race can go to other race homelands. u just have to find out where your race's land converges with his. in the last bwe i saw a lot of norn in the charr area and a few norn in the human area.
Lol the cash shop looks like crap.
Anyone got any fast-paced pvp videos from the beta? I really don't want GW2 to become a generic mmorpg click and press buttons on 1 mob style...... I need interaction and moveability with my character and pull mobs and aoe on them all........ not just kill 1 mob at a time.....
Thanks if so, I'll might buy it when it comes out :P

Tugaloo Bend
Toccoa, GA 30577
In the late 1700s, northeastern Georgia was Indian Country. The Cherokees called their town "Estatoe." Tugaloo Valley was home to one of the largest and earliest Cherokee Indian villages in the state. Then, settlers of European descent began moving into the region, making Tugaloo Valley their home. Along the way, Channing "Bill" Hayes, Jr. acquired title to the land, and farmed it for many years during the mid-1900s, plowing over the land roamed by Natives. In the late 1990s, Mr. Hayes decided to sell the land, but at the same time, he wanted it preserved for posterity.
The Stephens County Foundation, a non-profit organization created for the purpose of acquiring Tugaloo Bend Farm, protects and preserves the historic and natural resources of the Tugaloo Corridor. Come walk on the places of those who came before. Nothing but memories and photographs, leave nothing but footprints.

President Obama got a little roughed up at a fundraiser in San Francisco this morning.
Ten people who bought their way into the event burst into a song protesting the detention of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is accused of sending documents to WikiLeaks.
Among the lyrics (which are printed in full at the end of this post): "Alone in a 6x12 cell sits Bradley/23 hours a day (and) night/The 5th and 8th Amendments say this kind of thing ain't right."
The "song" also makes reference to the Florida pastor who recently burned a Q'uran.
The protesters also serenaded Obama with: "We'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true/Look at the Republicans -- what else can we do?/Even though we don't know if we'll retain our liberties."
A somewhat annoyed Obama tried to stop the impromptu songfest, but was unable to. Security eventually escorted the protesters from the meeting room at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco.
"That was a nice song," a displeased Obama said. "Now where was I?"
Obama, who had been talking about how his re-election campaign needs the kind of energy it had in 2008, also said after the song: "Now, there's an example of creativity ..."
Spokesman Jay Carney said later that Obama "thought it was kind of funny. ... It certainly perked up the morning."
From a pool report by Carol Lee of the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Obama was in the middle of his remarks when a woman in a white suit stood up and said, "Mr. President we wrote you a song."
POTUS tried to get her to wait until later, but she persisted and the table of 10 broke into a song that pointed out they'd just spent $5,000 donating to his campaign and went on to protest the treatment of Pfc. Bradley Manning.
The woman stayed standing as they sang. Mr. Obama looked to (House Minority Leader Nancy) Pelosi and asked, Nancy did you do this?
Ms. Pelosi had a look on her face, as she stared at the singing group, that definitely said she did not.
The song ... talked about Bradley Manning and how he is "alone in a cell..." The 10 singers then passed around 8.5x11 signs that said "Free Bradley Manning" or had a photo of him.
Then the woman in the white suit stripped off her jacket to reveal a black T-shirt that said Free Bradley Manning, with an image of him.
"We paid our dues. Where's our change?" they sang.
(Secret Service) and WH staff had moved near the table at this point. The woman was escorted out. Two others left on their own. (The rest stayed and applauded at the end of POTUS's speech.)
"That was a nice song," a displeased Mr. Obama said."Now where was I?"
The full lyrics:
Dear Mr. President we honor you today sir
Each of us brought you $5,000
It takes a lot of Benjamins to run a campaign
I paid my dues, where's our change?
We'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true
Look at the Republicans -- what else can we do?
Even though we don't know if we'll retain our liberties
In what you seem content to call a free society
Yes it's true that Terry Jones is legally free
To burn a people's holy book in shameful effigy
But at another location in this country
Alone in a 6x12 cell sits Bradley
23 hours a day (and) night
