The federal government yesterday said it would review the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) following industry concerns that generous tax incentives were being abused.
Minister for Housing and Homelessness
"We will continue to refine this innovative program," he said.
Incentives are awarded to eligible business and community organisations that apply to build and rent dwellings to low- and moderate-income households at rates that are at least 20 per cent below market value.
Developers and the federal opposition want the trade in incentives to be stopped by forcing holders of unused incentives – which are trading for between $10,000 and $30,000 – to return them to the government.
"NRAS is supposed to provide affordable housing," said opposition housing spokesman Senator
NRAS, which the Rudd government introduced in 2008 to tackle a shortage of housing rental stock, was designed to add 50,000 new dwellings. The opposition claims the scheme has delivered only 11,300 dwellings so far.

Notice the anachronism of the transfer of the mediaeval sport to legendary Greece.
Such a belief was indeed the bedrock of mediaeval political thought.
The Blason des Armes et des Dames takes up a mediaeval theme in a mediaeval style.
The schools of mediaeval learning were filled with Arabian teachers.
Reference has also been made to the construction of a mediaeval castle within its area.
Henceforth all the mediaeval chalices were fashioned with a six-sided foot.
This is supposed to rob the mediaeval universities of any prestige that may come to them for this marvellous progress.
What is meant by the "Middle Ages" or the "mediaeval" period?
A mediaeval illuminator would have jumped out of his sandals in his eagerness to illustrate that.
It is neither Asiatic nor mediaeval in its essential character.
A descriptive term for people, objects, events, and institutions of the Middle Ages.
Note: "Medieval" is sometimes used as a term of disapproval for outdated ideas and customs. It may suggest inhuman practices, such as torture of prisoners. (See Inquisition.)

Bungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described a first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game. Instead, the game has been referred to as a "shared-world shooter," as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are "matched" by the game.
Destiny will incorporate a new game engine that allows global illuminations and real-time dynamic lighting to occur together. An innovation in Bungie's "hopper" technology, which has been the backbone for Halo's matchmaking system, will allow better player matchmaking in order to create a more natural experience in either cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.

In a word: politics.
The Obama administration's plan for new offshore drilling conspicuously avoids the North Atlantic and West Coast. That means "Obama will only ruin the coast of red states," as Wonkette slyly noted.
"States that voted for John McCain get to enjoy oil spills and coastal devastation. Not that they're the kind of people who own swimwear or go to beaches or swim or whatever. But what about Virginia? It went red for Bob McDonnell last November, and McDonnell loves him some oil drillin'! Enjoy that, Virginia!"
But political will – and environmental opposition – did play an important part in the Obama administration's decision to avoid blue states. As Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said on a conference call with reporters, according to Oil & Gas Journal, the "strategy does not include oil and gas activity off North Atlantic or West Coast states because opposition there was too great."
The administration also listed "lack of local support" on its new map of where it plans to drill on the Outer Continental Shelf.
Photo by Ken LundAn oil platform off Santa Barbara's coast.
"California is a place where you have the entire Pacific Coast, including governors and senators, opposed to any kind of offshore drilling," Salazar told KCRA 3. "Given the area's national wildlife refuges and marine sanctuaries, to actually develop the Pacific Ocean is not something that's going to happen."
Obama's strategy calls for developing oil and gas resources in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and more than 125 miles from Florida's coast. He proposes increasing oil and gas exploration in frontier areas, such as the Arctic Ocean and the Mid and South Atlantic Ocean, and protect ocean areas that are "simply too special to drill, such as Alaska's Bristol Bay."
In one red state, Virginia, Gov. McDonnell said the Obama administration's announcement "is good for Virginia workers, Virginia's economy, and national security."
In blue California, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer praised Obama for leaving the Golden State out of the offshore-drilling equation. She said his plan protects the "state's $23 billion coastal economy, thousands of jobs and the beauty of our state." Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, called the decision "a victory for California and for all of us on the south and central coasts who have been fighting to keep our coastline safe from new oil drilling."
Three dozen oil leases are currently pumping oil in federal waters off California. A moratorium on new drilling has been in place since 1991, and Obama's new plan essentially continues that ban.
But the Obama proposal won't stop the Arnold Schwarzenegger administration from pushing for new drilling off the Santa Barbara coast. The state controls leases up to three miles off the coast, and the governor hopes the Tranquillon Ridge project will bring in $100 million a year in revenue over the next 10 years.
The state Assembly let the proposal die last year, but Schwarzenegger's spokesman told the LA Times yesterday that Obama's decision to tighten offshore drilling rules would have "no impact on T-Ridge."
Even that "one-off" project, as the governor's finance spokesman once described it, has gone through an arduous journey and, unless the Assembly changes its mind, remains essentially dead.
Many environmental groups had supported Tranquillion Ridge before it was voted down by the State Lands Commission in January 2009. But the project came with some important mitigation from Plains Exploration & Production Co., the Texas-based driller, including "a mandatory shutdown date of 2022, thousands of acres of permanently protected onshore lands, approximately $350 million of tax revenue for Santa Barbara, and money for the state," the Santa Barbara Independent reported.
It's unclear if Schwarzenegger would be able to see the new Tranquillion Ridge project from his new 25-acre retirement property in Santa Barbara County.

Police Investigate Flyers Targeting The Disabled
The Portland Police Bureau has been made aware of dozens of flyers -or letters- being distributed in various Portland neighborhoods that are concerning to people with disabilities.
The letters, signed "Artmis of the Wildland", claim that some residents of the neighborhood receive disability payments and the letter states that names of people on disability are being posted publicly so others in the neighborhood can see them.
While the letters are not overtly threatening, many people are reporting feeling insecure in their neighborhoods after the letters have been distributed.
While distributing these letters may not constitute a crime, the Portland Police Bureau would like to remind residents that two Oregon laws address "hate crimes" specifically and include "the persons perception of disability."
These crimes are defined in Oregon Revised Statutes 166.155 (Intimidation in the Second Degree) and 166.165 (Intimidation in the First Degree).
If you receive one of these letters and you would like to file a police report, you may do so by visiting the Portland Police Bureau website and filing the report online.
and click the "Police Report: Submit Online" tab, then follow the listed instructions.
If you do not wish to file a police report, the Portland Police Bureau encourages residents to dispose of or recycle unwanted letters.
Anyone with specific information about the person or persons distributing these letters may provide it by email to:
firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:email@example.com>
Community residents are encouraged to become involved in their neighborhood watch programs and neighborhood associations and can learn more by visiting
Community residents with disabilities can contact the Disability Program by calling (503) 823-9970 or the Commission on Disability at (503) 823-4432 to learn how the commission is organizing around this issue. Additional information can also be found at

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: had new compressor,accumalator,charged. worked 30 minutes.
next time would not on 1995 Chevrolet 1500 Pickup
then stoped cooling all together. any suggestions?
| |
Is the compressor still working? I see you have a new compressor, why did the old one fail? If the system was not cleaned out/flushed, you can cause a new compressor to fail in a short time. Otherwise the new charge probably leaked out. I would have a shop check for leaks using dye/goggles and a R134a 'sniffer'. Could be leaking from the hoses, condenser, evaporator, service ports, or any of the connections from the recent repair.

Dutch MotoGP Debrief With Masao Azuma
Posted by: newsla on Jul 03, 2013 - 04:37 PM
Dutch MotoGP Debrief With Masao Azuma
Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Extra-soft & Soft. Rear: Soft, Medium-soft & Medium (Asymmetric)
Bridgestone wet tyre compounds available: Soft (Main), Hard (Alternative)
Yamaha Factory Racingâs Valentino Rossi claimed his 80th premier class victory after winning last Saturdayâs Dutch TT ahead of Repsol Hondaâs Marc Marquez and Monster Yamaha Tech3âs Cal Crutchlow.
Following a very hot race at the previous round at Montmeló, weather conditions at Assen were at the other end of the spectrum, with cool and at times, wet conditions occurring over the race weekend. Thankfully, fine weather prevailed on Saturday, with a dry circuit and a track temperature of 32°C recorded during the twenty-six lap race. This year marked the first time Bridgestone supplied heat-resistant âSpecial Constructionâ rear slicks for the Dutch TT.
Q&A with Masao Azuma â Chief Engineer, Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development Department
This yearâs Dutch TT experienced variable weather conditions. How did the cool temperatures, wind and rain affect tyre performance and did the weather forecast influence the tyre allocation for this race?
âThe weather last weekend was quite typical for Assen, but we have also had quite warm temperatures here in the past so we had to consider many possible weather conditions for the race. We felt confident that our rear tyre allocation, which was made up of heat-resistant rear slicks could handle any possible weather condition for the race weekend, but for the front slick tyres we had to wait until the day before practice before deciding which compounds to offer. Finally, we made the decision to offer our softest front slicks â the extra-soft and soft compounds â as we knew there would be a need for good warm-up performance and grip at this event. We also nominated the soft compound wet tyre as the main wet weather option as this is best suited to cold, low-grip conditions. I feel that our tyre allocation was ideal for the challenging conditions and the encouraging feedback from the riders showed us that we made the right choices.
âThe harder option rear slicks were not used over the race weekend, as the only conditions where we might have seen them used was for the race as this was the warmest day. However, as no one evaluated this option in practice, none of the teams had data on how it would perform and so it didnât appear during the race. The harder front slick was the popular choice for the race, with only two riders selecting the softer option. The warmer track temperatures on race day saw many riders who were originally planning to run the softer front option switch to the harder front as the need for warm-up performance decreased. At a circuit like Assen which has many fast sections and changes of direction, a stable front-end is very important and the warmer track on Saturday enabled more riders to select the harder front slick which offers greater stability.â
Bridgestone brought its Special Construction heat-resistant rear slicks to Assen for the first time. How did these perform last weekend?
âThe heat-resistant rear slicks performed really well. The low grip level of the circuit meant that the teams had to work hard to find a setup that could maximise rear grip and as some riders feel a slight decrease in edge grip with this specification, it made finding a setup a bit more challenging. However if you look at qualifying and the race, the pace was very good and everyone was able to push hard from early on which made things very exciting. The primary reason we introduced the heat-resistant rear slicks at Assen was to improve rider safety, and as we had no heat-related tyre issues this year it was definitely the correct decision to make this change.â
Bridgestone is now in Argentina to provide tyres and technicians for the Rio Hondo test. What tyre options have been brought to the test?
âWe received preliminary data from the circuit designers on the layout and tarmac composition of the circuit and it is obvious that Rio Honda is a very fast circuit with lots of high-camber corners. We have undertaken performance simulations at our Technical Centre in Japan and expect this track to be one of the harshest events on the calendar for tyres, as there is the potential for very high tyre temperatures to occur. However, it is winter in the southern hemisphere so track temperatures will be cool, so we must also provide the riders with good warm-up performance.
âWith so many performance and safety considerations, we have brought numerous tyre options to Rio Hondo. Particularly for the rear slick tyres we are providing many options; we have symmetric and asymmetric rear slicks in a variety of rubber compounds, and have brought each of these options in both our regular and heat-resistant Special Construction specification. We will ask the riders to evaluate as many of these tyres as possible to give us a comprehensive data set that will help us develop the right tyres for next yearâs race at this circuitâ

There has always been a link between celebrities and fashion, so it's no wonder that a bevy of Hollywood A-listers were spotted checking out the new line of A|X watches last night.

Also in the house was Hayden Panettiere in a bright green party dress, Vanessa Minnillo in a black dress/white jacket combo, and Kristen Bell in a printed v-neck with khaki trousers.
Rounding out the star-studded guest list were Vanessa Minnillo, Sophia Bush, Estella warren, Ludacris, Jaime King and Taryn Manning.

By Iuliana Petre
Killeen Daily Herald
Washington caterers are offering a word of advice for anyone attending the inaugural balls scattered throughout the nation's capital on the night President-elect Barack Obama takes office – eat before you come.
The night of the inauguration is no night for haute cuisine and Cinderella-style glamour, but more like long lines and finger food.
"It's just cash bars and cheese cubes. The food is not glamorous at all. It's all about dancing and celebrating," says Susan Lacz, CEO at Ridgewells Caterers in Bethesda, Md., which has been catering the balls since 1961.
Several of Washington's large catering companies have been handling balls for decades.
"It's orchestrated chaos," says Karen Feketis, director of catering at the Washington Hilton Hotel, which has hosted inaugural balls for every election since Nixon.
Food at the balls is traditionally American with slight nods to the incoming president's tastes.
"Bush was a big meat-and-potatoes guy. With Obama, maybe it would have a Chicago or Hawaiian feel to it," Lacz said, adding "We know he loves pumpkin pie and chili."
There are only two things one can count on with every official inaugural ball taking place on the night of Jan. 20, Feketis said. There will be a cash bar and food offerings will be minimal. "It's not a great sit-down dinner," Feketis said.
And locally, it's going to be much of the same, said Arthur Resa, the Democratic party chair for Bell County.
"We're going to serve shrimp, cheese and fruit," Resa said adding that there will be a cash bar during the Bell County Democratic Party's Celebrate the Inauguration at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton.
"We've charged just a little extra to make sure we have better foods to recognize and thank our volunteers, and to celebrate and make sure that people are having a good time," Resa said.
Killeen caterer Bobby Grant, who is preparing and catering the event for Bell County Democrats, said he's going to serve sausage balls, hot wings, homemade tamales, small sandwiches, chips, fruit, veggie and cheese trays and punch.
Grant's plan for the sausage balls, instead of preparing them from scratch, is to buy the prepared sausage balls and flavor them using soy sauce, a bullion cube and then bake them with cornstarch and pineapple "to give them body."
The hot wings will be cooked in the oven with hot sauce, kept warm and served hot, Grant said, adding that the punch will be a mix of white grape juice and ginger ale.
Grant will also boil shrimp served with red dipping sauce made of ketchup, horseradish and fresh lemon juice, ham roll-ups with cream cheese, garnished with an olive or delicate pickle, and small chicken salad sandwiches on wheat bread.
"I'm not a big operator, I'm a small operator and do most of it myself," Grant said of his one-man catering company. "I do this to have something to do. It keeps me busy."
Grant is expecting to serve about 200 people at the Expo Center.

a journal of analysis and comment
advancing public understanding of religion and education
Vol. 31 No. 1 Spring 2004
Evangelical Students in Public Schools:
They Don't Stand Out, But Don't Fit In
Zine's2 study of Muslim youth in Canadian schools was difficult to generalize directly to American children, given the degree of religious tolerance embedded in the U.S. Constitution and the local, rather than national, nature of American public education. Zine3 used an ethnographic research protocol in studying ten Muslim students attending Toronto public schools. They related experiencing negative peer pressure, racism, and Islamophobia. Zine also found core factors of ambivalence due to perceived low teacher expectations, intimidation, and ESL placements as being particular challenges for students in his sample.
Using the qualitative research method, McEwen and Robinson4 studied twenty evangelical Christian students living in Northern Ireland. We restate the preceding caveat regarding external validity to American children due to the strong Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland influences which permeate that particular society. There are also salient differences in the educational systems of the two countries as well as governmental-Constitutional disparities as it relates to public education. That said, the researchers found evangelical Christian students to view their academics in terms of "confidence that I will do well because I trust that God will bless my efforts" compared to non-religious counterparts who were conceptualized as "my success in academic achievement is not influenced by my belief in God."5
In addition, McEwen and Robinson6 report in their expansion of the study that students in their evangelical sample selected job vocations mostly based on what they believed to be God's will for their lives. They scored high on conscientiousness scales, viewed their beliefs as setting them apart from others, and were less collaborative in working with other students. There was a strong tendency toward academic success, and the concept of "fellowship" with other evangelical Christians was noted as being particularly important to them.
Bourke and Francis7 studied personality variables and religious attitudes among music students (N=422) in Wales, Great Britain. They utilized the Francis Scale of Attitude Toward Christianity to assess responses relating to God, Jesus, Bible, prayer, and church on a Likert-scale. Elevated scores on these domains showed correlations with low scores on the Psychoticism scale of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (cold, impersonal, hostile, unemotional, unhelpful, paranoid, and tough-minded). Religiosity was psychometrically found to be independent of extraversion and neuroticism.
Research by Norman, Richards, and Bear8 assessed a sample of eighty-three fourth and eighth graders who attended an evangelical church-sponsored Christian school relative to Kohlberg's stages of moral development.9 They found, as expected, that the overwhelming majority of elementary students in their group used stage two moral reasoning. However, they also found that students with strong religious training were more prone to abandon stage two thinking during the late elementary years. The researchers interpreted the findings as stage two morality (in classical Kohlbergian constructs) being antithetical to evangelical Christians' world-and-life views, which they believed may explain their tendencies to move towards higher stages, such as law-and-order morality.
What of evangelical Christian students by the time they reach college? Dodrill10 found, in his sample, few personality differences between them and non-Christians using the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey. The most significant difference was that they reported having fewer social contacts than their secular counterparts. They also viewed themselves, however, as being more friendly and good-natured. Bennet11 describes fundamentalist Christians in public universities as possessing convictions which they are not willing to violate, even at the cost of course grade reductions at times. Authors such as Nelsen,12 Smith,13 and House14 have addressed the notion of how evangelical Christians function in public school milieu—but only from philosophic, personal experience, or anecdotal standpoints. Specifically, they addressed the issues of how Christians deal with post-modern and humanistic ideology in public school classrooms. The experts believe that evangelical Christian students are prone to face hostile challenges to their faith from unregenerate curricula and teachers alike.
Gladin15 indicates that evangelical parents who choose to home school their children often cite the concern of having their children being unduly influenced by secularism. This is a significant reason for pulling their children out of public schools from their own perspectives. Daniel16 relates the same concern in his research of evangelical parents, Christian school teachers, and Christian school administrators. Weigand and Gladin17 cite particular problems for evangelical parents placing their children in public schools as being atheistic curricula, anti-biblical world views, New-age philosophies, evolution, and values clarification.
These parental concerns notwithstanding, researchers evidently have not focused on empirical investigations relating to how evangelical Christian children who do attend public schools view their experiences. Given the hostile theoretical literature, we queried among ourselves at the study's outset whether these young people might feel persecuted for their beliefs or might they view themselves as lay-missionaries to their public school peers? How do they come to understand their place in a secular public school, given their personal religious beliefs and indoctrination by their parents? Using the qualitative research method of Banister, Burman, Parker, Taylor, and Tindall,18 we endeavored to study how these children come to view their worlds.

Netanyahu: Killing of bin Laden is 'resounding victory for justice'

News ItemChairman's Chat...better than the last one...
15 June 2012
...with no childish references to shite 80s TV shows. Although this time we will be talking about camping.
Preparation is fully up and running across the dragon boating world for the annual trip to Exeter next weekend. Forgive me this rant, but three highlights of the calendar year all on the same weekend? Could the organizers of the Isle of Wight Festival, Willen Lake dragon boat festival and the BDA have made any more of a mess of this Chairman's social diary if they had tried? Well yes, they could, if they'd moved my birthday, Christmas and my hair salon appointment to the same weekend I suppose. Fair enough, let's be grateful for small mercies...at least National Flip Flop Day is safe. (It exists, look it up...) Or, my personal favourite, International Kissing Day (my only quibble with this one is that it is only a day, when frankly they could have drawn it out to a month, surely..? We are English, after all. Erm...maybe a half day would be more appropriate on that basis...)
Anyway, back to Exeter: possibly the pinnacle of the dragon boating calendar. Where else would you see a 50-year old, orangutan-shaped baldie involved in a spacehopper race against a five year old? And losing (not deliberately). The after-party at Exeter is epic, and is going to be made all the more succulent by the fact that the racing is being held on Saturday, leaving Secklow-ites free to party 'til dawn on Sunday. And, let me tell you, if I hear that there hasn't been a party until dawn there's gonna be a major can of whoopass being opened at the next club meeting. We have standards relating to fitness, technique, strength and commitment but the KPI relating to partying stamina is the most important to uphold. You have been warned.
The questions I want answers to:
1. Will Chris make another comeback at Exeter Quay?
2. Can we break our dragon's head on another member of Worcester?
3. Will Gill redecorate her tent again with the new colour for 2012: 'hint of cider' (2011's colour was 'hint of red wine' if I recall...)
4. Can the orangutan win pass the parcel?
5. Why the hell have I run out of paper clips again??
In the meantime I'll be cheering the team on from my sun-soaked spot in the field at the Isle of Wight Festival, safe in the knowledge that Bruce Springsteen isn't likely to give me any grief for being hungover in the boat.
|Gill says :-
30 June 2012

Speaking of local boys who make good, consider Harold Greenberg, eighteen years old, whose triumph will come Sunday at Town Hall where he will make his concert debut.
Harold is an orphan. In the face of hardship and adversity he has gained recognition as one of the most promising musicians at the New York Schools of Music, which is sponsoring his first appearance in its twenty-fourth annual concert.
Reared in the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, he plays the trumpet, and Arthur Cremin, director of the music institution, predicts that "Harold will eventually be one of the concert field's leading cornetists."
When smiling good-natured Harold, with wavy brown hair and twinkling grey-blue eyes, appears on the stage of Town Hall Sunday evening, he will not be self-conscious, stage-struck or otherwise embarrassed, for when he plays his instrument nothing else matters.
As early as 1929 Harold won a gold medal in the Grade A advanced trumpet contest conducted by the New York Music Week Association, after a series of elimination contests embracing the five boroughs had taken place. Grade B-the highest category-silver medal was awarded to him the following year. Next time he entered Grade B competition in 1933, the gold medal was his.
Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Solomon of the Bronx visited the orphan asylum. As soon as they met Harold they were captivated by the boy's manner, and a year later, with three daughters and a son of their own, they adopted him. Harold is quite enthusiastic about his new family and feels thoroughly at home there. It is the first and only family environment he has known since he can recall. The Solomons are proud of him as a son, too.
Realizing that he did not, despite acquiring a loving family, fall into the lap of luxury, Harold determined to be self-supporting. Fortune played into his hands. Last year the orphan asylum band was playing in the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities Broadcast. The "between the act encores" were assigned to Harold, who impressed the announcer, Murray Liberman. Liberman is also a pharmacist and when he learned that the youthful musician was seeking work, he offered Harold a job in the drug store where he is now working.
After the day's work, Harold goes to the music school to practice.
His teachers and fellow-students are proud of his accomplishments, and the boys from the asylum are planning to present him with a token of their esteem. Many of them will be on hand at Harold's first rectal.
Harold makes light of his obstacles and handicaps, and prefers to discuss his interests which, on the whole, are about the same as those of any other normal boy of his age. If he were not pursuing a musical career, his next best choice would be electrical engineering.
In the Brooklyn institution he played baseball, handball, basketball, and rose to senior patrol leader in the Boy Scout troop of which he is now the honorary member.

Can I fight my fate?At a key moment, the "woman of the vine" tells the king: "You will never find that life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him … [Read more...]


text: Advances in the electronic realm known as microhouse are minuscule by nature, but the past few months have been loaded with albums that convert the genre's finicky obsessions to grandiose aural statements. The most immediately noteworthy, Akufen's My Way, pairs hyper-precise microhouse beats to a songy sample method that gives laptop production conceits an unprecedented melodic rub. A one-man act from Montreal, Akufen processes samples gathered from daily radio trolling into a gooey sonic slurp, ranging rhythmically from slow-eyed dub to hard-driving house. On "Skidoos," he gooses the album's early mellow pitch with a distant, longing soundscape draped over a four-four dance beat that cycles and loops like an operating-room breathing machine. But on the fourth track, "Deck The House," My Way starts charting its own territory, by way of countless half-second samples woven into a delirious crisscross of floaty phonemes and emotive hiccups. Everything from the mosaic processing to the epileptic push-push bassline bears the influence of Todd Edwards, a criminally unheralded New Jersey producer who laid the groundwork for England's glossy two-step garage scene. Making good on a challenge passed up by other producers rightly intimidated by Edwards' singular genius, Akufen proves a worthy successor on "Wet Floors," "Heaven Can Wait," and "Jeep Sex"all of which measure in as dance tracks too mystifying to inspire much more than slack-jawed awe. More straightforward but no less impressive, MRI's All That Glitters buffs the microhouse template to a blinding luster. On tracks like "Deep Down South" and the quasi-disco anthem "Tied To The '80s," the German duo meditates on the eerie elision between bass kicks and hi-hat snaps, giving the inner workings of the elemental dance rhythm an impeccable detail job. MRI shows its range with the mournful glitch-pop of "Sane And Sound" and the dirty techno swagger of "Amethyst Pop Stars," but the miniaturized trance moments ("Data Boogie," "Nightclubbing At Home") trade best on microhouse's ability to turn headphones into super-clubs while rewarding fleet-footed fantasies and sedentary fixation in equal measures.

Suspects sought in ATM heist
When Candi Overly arrived for her morning shift at Speedy Meedy's on Wednesday, she didn't immediately see the damage from an ATM machine theft less than an hour before.
"There were two state cops out in the parking lot," said Overly, 49, of Champion. "I asked them what the problem was, and I didn't even notice that the doors were outside of the building."
Surveillance footage shows that about 3:24 a.m., two suspects drove a dark-colored, short-bed pickup to the front doors of the gas station on Three Mile Hill Road. They chained the ATM to the back of the truck and drove the vehicle forward to yank open the glass doors, shattering them, and pull the machine out of the store. The force dented and spun around an ice cream freezer and split the cash register countertop.
The lottery machines and cash registers crashed to the floor, and the gas pumps went offline.
The burglars quickly loaded the ATM onto the truck bed and drove off.
It all happened in about three minutes.
"I was really surprised," said Philip Luccioni, 48, of Uniontown, who oversees operations at the company's three stores. "They didn't come for cigarettes or anything else. They came for that ATM."
Luccioni, the son-in-law of Speedy Meedy's owner Emidio Crocetti, received a phone call from Guardian Protection Services alerting him of a "true break-in" at the gas station. He arrived there about 3:45 a.m.
After viewing the surveillance video, Luccioni said he has no inkling of the suspects' identity. The video showed they were wearing masks, gloves, jeans and hooded, long-sleeve shirts.
"I would guess they have been in the store, looking and scoping it out," Luccioni aid.
Surveillance footage showed that as the suspects' truck turned onto Route 982 South, another car pulled up behind it and turned onto Route 982 North. Luccioni hopes that driver hears about the incident and comes forward with any information they might have.
Though the suspects left behind a mess, Luccioni said the store is insured, and his employees cleaned up quickly. The store, which usually opens around 4:30 a.m., was up and running by 6 a.m. A new ATM was delivered the same day, and doors were installed by 9, he said.
Casey Martin, 20, of Connellsville, a manager at Speedy Meedy's, was alerted to the burglary by a co-worker who called. She said she came to work immediately to assist in the cleanup.
"I was scared to walk out of the house," Martin said.
Martin said she feels nervous coming to work, but Luccioni said he has been staying until evening to give employees some peace of mind.
The gas station had one previous break-in, about 12 years ago.
"There was not this much destruction," Luccioni said. "They climbed through the roof, and they tried to get in the safe, and they couldn't."
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 724-439-7111.

Two days in and already the 2012 Olympic swim meet has become the London Follies for Canadian athletes. There has been controversy, disappointment, tears and all manner of surprises.
It started Saturday with Ryan Cochrane making the final of the 400-metre freestyle, only to be bumped by a successful South Korean protest. On Sunday, things continued on their wonky way with: Blake Worsley winning his heat but not making the semi-final of the 200 free; Julia Wilkinson swimming the 100 backstroke and saying she saw God; Tera Van Beilen finishing tied with a Jamaican in the 100 breast and having to compete in a swim-off after the evening's other events.
Had she ever done that before?
"Once when I was 12 years old," she said.
Topping a quirky 48 hours, the first Canadian to actually race with a medal on the line was the team's youngest member, 18-year-old Brittany MacLean. She fought her way into Lane 7 of the women's 400 freestyle final and splashed alongside the likes of world-record holder Federica Pellegrini of Italy, defending gold Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Adlington of Britain and the new Olympic champ, Camille Muffat of France.
MacLean wasn't happy with her showing but was pleased to have finished seventh-best in the world.
"I knew I was in a really tough field and I knew it was going to be a bit of a battle the whole way through," she said. "Wasn't completely successful with staying with the pack as I wanted. I ended up out-touching one person. I'll take seventh place at the Olympics."
MacLean, who set a Canadian record in her Sunday morning dip, has provided Canada's best swim moment to this point. Everything else has lived up to the Olympics' unpredictable nature and what head coach Randy Bennett had told the swimmers before they arrived here – that they were going to need a little luck to go along with their skills.
"That's just the way the Olympics are," Bennett said after his swimmer, Cochrane, was dropped from the final after a successful appeal called for Park Tae-hwan's reinstatement. Park had originally been disqualified for a false start but an International Swimming Federation (FINA) investigation overturned the decision.
Undaunted, the Canadians pushed back on Sunday, with Wilkinson and Sinead Russell advancing to the 100 back semi-final, To get there, Wilkinson said she worked so hard over the last 20 metres, "I think I saw God. He was singing The Final Countdown." Before the race, Wilkinson saw a toilet and threw up because of nerves.
After her semi-final swim, she choked back her emotion several times and wiped away tears.
"I did everything I could," Wilkinson said of being one-tenth of a second shy off the final. "Ninth is horrible. It's so close but I thought when I was fifth [in her heat] it probably wasn't going to happen."
It didn't, and it didn't happen for Van Beilen or Jillian Tyler, either. The two Ontario swimmers raced in separate semi-finals; Tyler finished seventh in hers and didn't move on. Van Beilen posted the same time as Jamaican Alia Atkinson and had to race her again in a two-woman swim-off that Atkinson took right from the start.
"It was mentally hard coming off a race knowing you had to do it again. I tried to get set mentally," Van Beilen said before wishing her Jamaican counterpart the best in Monday's final. "It was fun. At least I got another race."
The Canadian men's 4x100 relay team was eyeing a spot in the final eight but didn't advance beyond the heats. Brent Hayden, Richard Hortness, Colin Russell and Tommy Gossland competed against the front runners from France. The French won the gold medal by defeating the Americans and Russians in a remarkably contested event.Report Typo/Error

Dingman On Waivers
by Paul on 12/29/05 at 11:00 AM ET
Comments (0)
Lightning general manager Jay Feaster wants to make one thing clear: he isn't blaming forward Chris Dingman for the Lightning's inconsistent season. But he also made this clear: he isn't happy and changes could be coming. Actually, they already started. The Lightning parted ways Wednesday with Dingman, who played in 74 regular-season games and 23 more during the playoffs when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup in 2003-04. Dingman was placed on waivers and likely will clear them today at noon.read on

Never talk to a natural gas producer about the weather. They smile while the rest of us suffer. Not that their schadenfreude isn't understandable: bad weather – whether it's an Arctic cold or a summer hurricane – makes for high gas prices.
At least, it does when things are normal. But things are not normal. This year, it doesn't seem to matter how icy it gets, gas barely budges. It may be December, a belt of cold may be strapped across the top of the U.S. and inventory levels may be below last year. But prices have stubbornly stuck around $4 (U.S.) for 1,000 cubic feet.
Don't count on things changing any time soon.
"The fact that it's cold and natural gas prices haven't really moved that much is not a good sign," said Peter Tertzakian, chief energy economist at Calgary's ARC Financial.
And it's likely to get worse before it gets better – possibly far worse when the weather starts to shift in a few months.
"In the springtime, you're going to test some weak prices. And low $2s is not out of the question unless something" – Mr. Tertzakian hesitated to use the word "miraculous," although it's a term suffering gas producers might agree with – "unless something unforeseen changes the current dynamic."
Dire predictions have brought out the contrarian in some investors, yet even those whose fortunes are tied to gas are giving little cause for optimism. Their worries extend beyond spring. Last week, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. president Steve Laut predicted gas prices won't exit the basement for two to seven years.
It's an irony that the chief cause of all this misery is the best news to hit the gas business in decades. Companies are tapping massive new shale reservoirs, and the gushers they're finding have drawn in foreign investments by the billions. It's in part those dollars, and the drills they're turning, that are feeding the current gas oversupply.
Low prices have, of course, increased the likelihood that demand will increase. It's already happening: In the eastern U.S., gas demand for electricity generation is up a stunning 48 per cent between September, 2008, and September, 2010, according to figures compiled by Eurasia Group – and there's potential for a lot more.
"Even absent carbon legislation, there are plenty of other regulatory developments at the state and federal levels that are undermining coal and positioning gas to gain market share in the U.S. power sector," Robert Johnston, the group's director of energy and natural resources, wrote in a recent note.
But that's not going to come right away – and until it does, chances are it's going to stay painful.
"The old adage, that low prices are the cure for low prices – that's really what we need to wait for," Mr. Tertzakian said.Report Typo/Error

Sheree B.wrote a review of KEEN Glarus Hiking Boot - Women's on September 9, 2013
Happy with Keen Glarus boots
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit: True to size
I needed new boots and these were very well reviewed on other sites. They have been comfortable and no blisters after three different hikes more than 8 miles in length. I haven't gotten them wet yet, so can't comment on how waterproof. So far I am very pleased. They are a little higher on my ankle than my other mid level boots (Merrel Moab goretex). This is my first time purchasing Keen boots. Mail order service from Back Country was very prompt. They also had the best price.

Hertha unhappy with Pantelic
By Thomas Zeh
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
On-loan striker Marko Pantelic seems certain to leave Hertha Berlin this summer.
Crvena Zvezda striker Marko Pantelic seems certain to leave Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin this summer despite his impressive goal tally.
The 27-year-old Serb joined the club on loan last summer but has alienated his team-mates due to egocentric behaviour in both the Uefa Cup and Bundesliga.
The striker was on target twice last Saturday but none of the team joined in his wild celebrations as Hertha went on to lose the match 4-2.
"You can certainly argue about how he celebrates his goals but it didn't look too good to me," said club captain Arne Friedich
It is unlikely the striker will win a permanent deal with the club unless he changes his selfish ways.
"Pantelic seems to have some trouble with certain parts of the crowd and he puts his personal interest over the interest of the team," added the club's managing director Dieter Hoeness.

D is back
We dominated two pretty prolific Qb's the last two weeks. The way the Bungles played against the world champs today should speak volumes about our D. Ben if he plays will be crushed next week. Slow wind up Leftwich will be squashed by us.

Re: D is back
This MNF game against the hated Stillers will be the bona fide litmus test for our squad.
Haloti is killing double teams, backers are covering receivers...this should be GREAT!
Man oh man...This Monday night football game is really important. Ravens win and we could be talking about 10 and 6...or better.
Based on the sked though 10 and 6 would be awesome.
Re: D is back
The defense has looked incredible through 2 games. They have allowed only 323 total offensive yards in 2 games.

Original Sin on Early Access

Original Sin on Early Access
January 20th, 2014, 08:28
Divinity Original Sin hit Steam Early Access - with 24 hours of the posting here where the dev was discussing early access.
Kinda cool…except for the $40 price tag, which according to threads on steam is the release price for the game.
I guess I don't fully understand how community funding (kickstarter) works or how indie pricing works. I would expect that a game funded by the community wouldn't be quite so expensive. Seems a bit…greedy? It's also a bit pricey for an indie title regardless.
This is something that's a bit off with Kickstarter backed games in general. In a classic situation a publisher puts up money, dev makes game, publisher gets money back (more complicated than that but there's an expectation of return on investment). If the game is community funded, the backers don't get money back, they just get a copy of the game. So if the dev sells a bunch of units no top of handing out copies to backers, that would seem to be pure profit, since the KS funding just paid the dev salaries for the development cycle. You want to see devs of good games succeed and be enabled to continue development or develop more…but at one point is this whole thing kind of shady?
I *was* excited for this game but at this point it seems kind of unclean. How does one get the community to fund your development then turn around and charge so much for an indie game?
Plus it's kind of odd that this site has always been all over original sin but hasn't posted anything about it being on steam even though it's a been a few days.
I'll be interested to see what others think of all of this.
