Evolving Russian helicopter technology attracts buyers
Coaxial rotor systems and additional refinements of Soviet designs make products more saleable.
By Ivan Veretennikov
Editor-in-Chief, Altitudes Russia
Thanks to its coaxial rotors, the Kamov KA32 is a very stable and agile helicopter, making it an excellent choice in hard jobs such as firefighting. It is seen here filling a 5-ton bucket.
While Russian fixed-wing manufacturers are struggling to build and deliver even 10 commercial aircraft in a year, helicopter plants churn out more than 250 rotorcraft, constantly pushing the production rates to new heights.
A significant portion of these are civil helicopters, of which about half are exported. Russian Helicopters, the company that was created to control all local industry assets, speaks of a backlog of around 900 orders and fully booked production lines until at least 2014.
Why would customers all over the world be interested in rotorcraft of Soviet descent while ignoring the streamlined, modern-looking Sukhoi Superjet, built almost entirely from internationally-supplied components? The answer is that they are unique.
They don't compete directly with aircraft made by other manufacturers, but rather complement them in some missions, winning a niche for themselves on the global market. These brutal, unpretentious and robust machines resemble the Siberian men for whom many of them were made, ready to work in harsh weather and get seemingly impossible jobs done—and do so more cheaply than their more refined and smartly dressed counterparts.
Leaving military helicopters aside, let's talk about the civil ones. Even though the Cold War is a thing of the past, Russian gunships will barely see US skies outside of air shows. Civil rotorcraft of Russian make, on the other hand, can and sometimes do operate in the US.
Living up to the stereotype
Originally a product of the Mil Design Bureau, the gigantic MI26 is the pinnacle of Russian helicopter design—the heaviest rotary-wing machine in the world. More than 300 have been built.
There are many jokes and stereotypes concerning Russia in general, and Russian technology in particular. Most of them were probably started by Russians in the first place. As is always the case, some hold true while most have nothing to do with reality.
The following generalizations regarding Russian helicopters (and not the company Russian Helicopters) help to explain why these machines are so popular around the world. There have been some changes lately with major investments in new programs and the development of a global support network. For at least several years, however, what follows will remain relevant.
Soviet heritage
The term "Russian helicopters" actually means rotary-wing aircraft of Soviet make or Soviet descent. These are modifications of the immensely popular Mil MI8 "Hip" (including the MI17 and MI171), of which more than 12,000 have been manufactured since entry into service in 1967, as well as variants of the coaxial Kamov KA26 "Hoodlum" and KA32 "Helix," and the gigantic MI26 "Halo." Even models that have yet to enter service, such as the more streamlined and modern KA62 and MI38, go as far back as the early 1980s.
US Army Mil MI17 at HSV (Intl, Huntsville AL). This is one of several aircraft being modified for training and other uses at Fort Rucker AL and by the Army Aviation Center of Excellence.
On the one hand, this means that the machines are quite old-fashioned. This notion is supported by looks that come from an era when customer appeal wasn't even on the list of considerations, as well as the clutter of analog instruments in the cockpit, the austere passenger cabin with troop seats, doors that slam shut with a wham that can be heard despite the tremendous roar of the engines, nonretractable landing gear and other features.
On the other hand, over the decades that these helicopters have been in service they have been modified and refined to perfection. The designs still have some years ahead of them, and with modernized engines and rotor blades, a glass cockpit and a stand-up luxury cabin finished with the finest leathers and veneers, a modern MI171 is good enough to make any president or tycoon in the world request a demo flight.
And this goes for all models—just add the right equipment to a tried and tested airframe and powertrain, and you have a helicopter to do the job, be it firefighting, SAR, cargo transportation, construction or whatever else.
Cheap and simple
Mil MI8 helicopters like this one are used to transport passengers in remote areas of Russia, particularly in Siberia, where a helicopter remains the only option for many destinations.
A Russian AgustaWestland dealer once told me, "The most difficult part is to keep people who have been operating domestically-produced helicopters away from the insides of our machines. Whenever anything happens, they are up there inside the engines or electronics, fiddling around with their screwdriver.
They just cannot grasp the idea that our helicopters are meant to be maintained professionally and that we have service centers for that—they shouldn't try and 'fix' anything on the spot."
Legend has it that Russian helicopters are very straightforward and can be serviced literally anywhere as long as the mechanic knows what he or she is doing. A joke you may hear is that a couple of blows with a sledgehammer usually fixes any problem.
Ease of on-the-spot maintenance, however, is more than reasonable when you consider the operating conditions and geography of these rotorcraft. The empty stretches of Siberian plains, the icy deserts of the far north—or the hot and humid Brazilian jungle—are all places where you won't be too close to an authorized maintenance center.

Triangle Hero
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Triangle Hero is a console game based on the popular title Guitar Hero. It was released in November 2009 to a rave review from "Triangle World", giving it an impressive 64%.
Triangle Hero has been deemed far more satisfying than Guitar Hero by everyone. In Triangle Hero you are part of numerous 18 to 120 man set piece orchestras and must play your triangle in the correct way at the correct time of each tune.
edit The Game
As you progress through the game your ranking takes you from High School Orchestra up to being part of the Russian Symphony Orchestra. Upon successful completion of all levels you are then eligable for a secret level where you play a solo at Wembley Stadium in front of several thousand power metal fans who are expecting to see Dungeon, Helloween and a girl's Boobies. If you play the solo with more than a 3.451 note hitstreak you can see a girls boobies in a cutscene, although this has been cleverly hidden so people older than the age of 3 cannot see it.
Some tunes (such as Queen - Dont Stop Me Now) do not have a triangle part and are simply in the game to confuse and entertain the player.
Cheat codes are posted on the front door of a few Jewish homes throughout Alaska.
Aftermarket triangle controllers are available in stores now, such as:
- MrGeo - Progrip ($799)
- Sony - Concrete Cubicle ($49.99)
- Gamestop - The Satan Blade ($66.66 or your soul)
Triangle Hero features over 9000 songs, including numerous hymns and Bible passages, including the part where vegetables kill half of the korean army.
There are four skill levels, from easiest to hardest:
- Equilateral
- Isosceles
- Scalene
- Cement Mixer
edit Cracked Game
There are rumours that an internet cracked version of Triangle Hero is available that allows you to have a threesome with Noel Edmunds and Britney Spears if you correctly play the three secret triangle sounds in Track 127 - Cannibal Corpse - Decaying Bride.
The game producers have as yet neither confirmed or denied this.
There is another secret in the cracked version where if you play Track 49 - Heroes of our Time - Dragonforce on Expert 100%, without making a mistake, you unlock a secret level where you battle Sam Totman and Herman Li in a Triangle Battle! This is easy to pass as Herman Li actually tries to play the guitar while holding the triangle and not a guitar, ending up failing, bashing Sam Totman over the head with the triangle and then Sam Totman rans away like a girl before returning with John Key and ending up beating the living shit out of Herman Li. With this sub-plot it is not hard to appreciate that winning this level is considered easy.
edit Reception
This game has been banned in Israel where the Triangle (shape) is deemed illegal. An underground peace movement attempting to bring Triangular objects into Israel in the early parts of 2008 from the Gaza territory resulted in the the Isreali Invasion of Gaza in the winter of 2008.

Leftist blogger Ian Murphy is "a liar who broke every rule of journalism," with his phone call to Gov. Scott Walker in which he pretended to be conservative donor David Koch, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told the audience of last night's "Hannity."
The Media Research Center founder was reacting to CNN having practically promoted Murphy's prank by awarding him the title "Most Intriguing Person of the Day" on February 24 and by plugging his website, BuffaloBeast.com, on air.
Had Murphy been a CNN employee, he'd have been fired for his unethical and highly partisan manuever, Bozell noted, citing none other than CNN's own media reporter/critic Howard Kurtz. What's more, Bozell added, the media have been silent about Murphy's rabid left-wing rantings in the past, such as in 2008 when he wrote a piece entitled, "F**k the Troops" in Iraq.

"So, 4,000 rubes are dead. Cry me the Tigris. Another 30,000 have been seriously wounded. Boo f*****g hoo. They got what they asked for and cool robotic limbs as well," Bozell quoted from a May 2008 Murphy column.
"This is a hate-filled wretch," that CNN was celebrating as intriguing, the MRC president complained.
Also discussed on the March 3 "Media Mash" was the media's gauzy, even heroic treatment of the runaway Democratic Wisconsin state senators. Observed Brent Bozell:
In the last two weeks, these hidden legislators have given 17 interviews or been part of 17 stories on the national [over-the-air broadcast] networks alone. Who knows how many hundreds of stories [the media have] done. These hidden legislators in fact are the most visible, celebrated legislators in all of the United States of America, so that's how the media are covering them. And the public ought to be asking themselves this question, "Why are they hiding from the public yet running to the press?" Maybe it's because with the press they find common ground.

The fractions were then combined on the basis of similar HPTLC profiles. The major material content isolated was located in fractions 89–91, according to their HPTLC profiles, resulting in a white amorphous solid component. The identity of this component present in the 89–91 fractions was established by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C) [

All the experimental protocols were approved by the Local Committees of Ethics on Animal Experimentation (UAM and FM-UNAM). Twenty-four male Wistar rats were obtained from the Laboratory Animal Center of the Metropolitan Autonomous University. The handling of the laboratory animals followed the rules for the care and use of laboratory animals of the Official Mexican Rule (NOM-062-ZOO-1999, revised in 2001) and the International Guide for Caring and Use of Laboratory Animals NRC 2002. Rats at the age of 12 weeks and 200–250 g body weight were maintained in their housing conditions with a controlled humidity (55%) at 21 ± 1 °C temperature with 12/12 h light-dark cycle.
Control diet (2018s Teklad Global 18% protein rodent diet from Harlan Laboratories) contained a percentage of proteins (18.6%), carbohydrates (44.2%) and fat (6.2%). The high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) diet was 20% in chow and drinking water (Formula 55, v/v dissolved in purified water).
Rats were initially divided into two groups (
At the end of experiment, OGTT were performed on 12 h-fasted rats. Glucose was administered into the stomach of the rats through a gastric catheter at the final dose of 2 g/kg body weight (dissolved in purified water), and the glucose levels were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min using an Accutrend Sensor glucometer (Roche). Glycaemia was quantified on days 30, 60 and 90 in fasted animals (12 h) from blood samples drawn from the tail vein. OGTT for non-diabetic rats were performed according to Tai model (the total area under a curve is computed by dividing the area under the curve between two designated values on the X-axis into rectangles and triangles. The total sum of these individual areas thus represents the total area under the curve [
Quantification of total cholesterol (Chol), triglycerides (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST or GOT), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or GPT) was performed with a Reflotron System (Bayer) using blood samples drawn from the tail vein on day 30, 60 and 90 in fasted animals (12 h). Measurements of body weight and circulating levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and liver transaminases were performed throughout the whole study, while biomarkers of inflammation were only quantified at the end of the treatments.
At the end of the test (day 90 after treatment), blood samples were obtained from anesthetized animals with pentobarbital by cardiac puncture for cytokine analysis. Serum cytokine levels were quantified using a commercial rat obesity ELISA strip purchased from Signosis, as described in the manufacturer's protocol in order to get the profile of 8 cytokines (IL-6, IFN-γ, MCP-1, IL-1α, IL-1β, VEGF, TNF-α and leptin). All samples run in single.
Data were expressed as mean ± S.E.M. The significance of the difference between the means of test and control studies was established by an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's Multiple Comparison Test. Cytokine analysis was based on percentage of normal.

Effect of daily administration of FOS fraction from
An interesting effect was observed in the VEGF cytokine. Levels of VEGF were decreased in Fru, Fru + Beza and Fru + FOS groups, compared with the normal group (50.88%). Groups treated with bezafibrate and FOS fraction showed a greater effect than the group treated with only fructose (55.14% and 18.08%,
The water extract of
FOS fraction administration did not affect glucose levels in any of the treated groups in glycaemia test. Additionally, there was no difference in groups treated with bezafibrate and FOS fraction for 12 and 24 weeks with respect to tolerance test glucose. For the isotonic saline solution-treated group there was a significant difference compared to the normal group at 120 min. On the other hand, bezafibrate and FOS fraction groups showed no difference at 120 min, compared with the group Fru. In other studies, fructose has been mainly used around 60% on food, which leads to metabolic disorders in less time, developing intolerance to the glucose and hyperinsulinemia. In this study, we used a lower dose than that reported for the hypoglycemic effect.
Food consumption indicates caloric intake, which undoubtedly is directly related to weight gain. Although these measurements were made at the beginning of the experiment, the conditions throughout the experiment in which animals were kept (4 rats/box), did not allow to determine the suitable amount (g) of food consumed per day per animal. However, this aspect should be considered in further studies with the FOS fraction to determine the impact of food intake in weight gain.
Recent studies confirm changes in plasma lipid profile, with no apparent weight gain after 10 weeks of intermittent access to fructose solution 12.5% [
We examined the inflammatory process in response to the excess of fat tissue in HFCS-treated rats. The inflammatory profile of the HFCS-treated rats exhibited by pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggests that this rat model is accessible and shares some similarities with the metabolic syndrome in human beings, such as obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance. Several reports have shown increased TNF-α, IL-6, resistin and leptin expression in obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome [
Among numerous cytokines, TNF-α was identified as the most important pro-inflammatory mediator in metabolic inflammation, as this cytokine is overexpressed in the adipose tissue of rodent models of obesity [
IFN-γ is also considered a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by activated lymphocytes and is capable of inhibiting the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), an important transcription nuclear factor of anti-inflammatory cytokines [
In this research, the HFCS-treated rats displayed large increased TNF-α, MCP-1 and IL-1α serum levels. On the other hand, serum protein levels of VEGF showed a decrease. All other cytokines showed similar values to the normal group. The HFCS-treated rats have higher TNF-α, observed in obese and type 2 diabetes patients [
Leptin receptors belong to the cytokine class I receptor family, and several published works have reported that there is an increased inflammatory response associated with the presence of hyperleptinemia without obesity and that leptin is able to control TNF-α production and activation by macrophages [
Several evidences have shown that chronic activation of intracellular pro-inflammatory pathways within insulin target cells can lead to obesity-related insulin resistance. At the molecular level, the mechanisms by which resistance is generated can be multiple and vary from one individual to another. The most common are free fatty acids and their metabolites, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and hormones secreted by adipose tissue such as resistin [
Although it would be quite valuable to know if FOS fraction affects insulin levels in order to understand the possible mechanism of hypoglycemic action, in this study, the response to insulin by FOS fraction did not measure. Therefore, the measurement of this hormone in new studies with FOS fraction should be considered.
FOS induces profound metabolic changes by modulating the composition and the activity of the intestinal microbiota, generating anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and immunomodulatory effects. These changes may be the result of reduced hepatic exposure to intestinal products that promote the release of TNF-α from adipose and hepatic tissue macrophages [
Different issues contribute to obesity and the pathogenesis of its metabolic disorders, such as genetic, inflammatory, and environmental factors. Among them, diet is the most important one, even though its role in obesity is more complex than a simple fat accumulation. In this regard, FOS could be directly involved in the inhibition of the monoglycerides or nonesterified fatty acids uptake in the small intestine, or modifying gastrointestinal functions related to fat absorption [
Measurements of HDL and LDL would be helpful to evaluate hypocholesterolemic effect, mainly to establish whether the decrease observed in total cholesterol observed in the group treated with FOS fraction correlated with increased HDL and decreased LDL. However, our study is preliminary to determine the potential effect on dyslipidemia. In general, concentration of total cholesterol is an important factor for expansion by chronic diseases such as obesity and hypertension, among other risks; HDL and LDL values should nonetheless be determined in further studies.
To clarify the mechanism of the effects of FOS on obesity, our future studies will be focused on hepatic lipid metabolism-related gene expression and quantification of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as adiponectin and IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 mainly.
According to our results, FOS fraction obtained from the root of

To give him a whopper of a send-off Saturday, the funeral procession stopped at a Burger King where each mourner got a sandwich for the road.
Kime got one last burger too, the York Daily Record reported. It was placed atop his flag-draped coffin at the cemetery

Had a brilliant week in October, weather was perfect. Acommodation was superb, well maintained, in a very secure private complex within easy reach of two towns. Both La Torre Horadada and Mil Palmeras had plenty bars and restuarants. Loved the beach, snorkled in the rock pools for hours. The owner had left us beach chairs and umberella to take to the beach (Nice touch).
The resort area was lush and green, not as high density as other parts of Costa Blanca. A real get away from it all holiday. Hope to return!

Rated 5 out of 5 by saem from Stands the test of time I bought this for my son when he was 6 months, and he still loves it has a 2+ year old. He likes to bang on it, and it has not broken. It's gotten a little scratched, which is expected with little kids. Just when I think he's no longer interested, he'll remember it's there and have a great time!

Sensorless Parts Orienting with a One-Joint
S. Akella, W. H. Huang, K. M. Lynch, and M. T. Mason
AbstractThis paper explores a sensorless technique for orienting planar parts. We follow an approach described in earlier papers ([Akella et al. 95] and [Akella et al. 96]) called 1JOC for One Joint Over Conveyor, which can perform planar manipulation using a single controlled joint in combination with a constant-velocity conveyor. Our previous work demonstrated that the 1JOC approach can orient and feed planar polygonal parts, given a singulated part in a known initial location. This paper shows that a variation called the Sensorless 1JOC can orient and feed polygonal parts up to symmetries in the underlying mechanics, without knowing the initial location and without sensors.

Here are some tidbits from practice today:
1. Brendan Shanahan and Matt Cullen sit out: No cause for alarm. Both were just banged up last night and need the break, according to Tom Renney, and Renney said they should return to the ice tomorrow. For what it's worth, both were in the weight room after practice, so they must be fine. Neither came into the locker room and were thus unavailable.
"Just some minor aches and pains we thought we'd take care of," Renney said.
2. Jed Ortmeyer is getting close to returning to the ice: After yesterday's call-up, this is hardly breaking news. Renney said they'll look at Ortmeyer again at practice tomorrow, then decide what to do (although that's what he said yesterday). Renney isn't sure whether Ortmeyer will be activated or sent back to Hartford for another conditioning assignment. Ortmeyer felt he got rid of some rust and is ready to play. He's no longer taking medication and feels 100 percent healthy.
"We're going to see him tomorrow and watch him very closely again," Renney said. "I think we're getting closer to getting him in the lineup, whether that happens right away here or if we send him to Hartford for a couple more games remains to be seen."
"It's their decision," Ortmeyer said about possibly going back to Hartford. "Of course, I want to stay here and I want to play as soon as possible, but they're making the decisions. If I go there, it's not going to change my attitude or the way I approach things. I'll try and get ready to get in the lineup again. If it means going down there and playing, that's what I'll do."
"I got the rust off and got the adrenaline going," Ortmeyer said. "Now it's just seeing where I fit and what I have to do."
"There's no medical issues," he added. "I just have to be aware of symptoms, but other than that they've cleared me to go."
3. Renney is undecided on Straka: I asked Renney twice if he had a feeling for where Martin Straka will play Friday. He wasn't sure yet, but said Straka can play anywhere. I'm sure many of you will disagree.
"There is some chemistry that you can appreciate with Michael and Jaromir," Renney said.
Petr Prucha played a little on the first line, even before Nylander went out, but Renney said it wasn't specifically to get Prucha going. "We need scoring from everybody, naturally, and Petr's one of those guys that has a good touch. I think he can provide that pretty much anywhere in our lineup."
4. Lampman had earned a look: That's essentially how Renney termed the decision to promote Bryce Lampman over Baranka or Girardi, who he singled out by name for their strong play. Again, he wasn't sure if Lampman will play  the health of Marek Malik may impact that, he said  but the staff wanted a look at him since it's so difficult for the NHL guys to catch Hartford. Renney said the Hartford staff recommends players and that they've done well so far. He noted Pock's strong play yesterday and Immonen's continued contributions.
"We may do something there," Renney said of playing Lampman. "It may depend on Marek, but we just wanted to get educated a little bit."
5. Nylander contrite: Michael Nylander  who, as you know, was benched for the third period, along with others like Jason Ward, Darius Kas, and Marcel Hossa  was very contrite today. The penalty wasn't intentional  he told me he tried to hook Martinek's stick and that his just slipped high  but Nylander understood the benching; it was a penalty he couldn't take.
"Of course, you want to play and help the team and go from there," Nylander said. "But the reason was the penalty was a double-minor. … Our team has taken a lot of penalties in the past. We want to be disciplined and stay out of the box. I think Tom had seen a lot of penalties in the past and he wanted to set an example."
"If we're going to win hockey games, we have to stay out of the penalty box," Nylander added. "That was one way to show the team."
Renney felt Nylander was working hard on the play in question but that he had overextended his shift. Nylander was told that, but he said the penalty itself was the tipping point.
"I think the biggest part was the penalty," Nylander said.
6. A little fun and games: An intense practice lasted about 10 or 15 minutes longer than normal, but about 30 minutes more after that there were still two players on the ice and I saw them as I left the rink: Your goalie, Henrik Lundqvist, and your captain, Jaromir Jagr, were playing the hockey equivalent of a 1-on-1.
I only saw them briefly – they left not long after I started watching them – but a helmetless Jagr basically lined up three pucks between the circles and took each at Lundqvist, sort of a shootout at short range. Jagr was thwarted on his first two tries but pumped the third past Lundqvist on a short wrister. I got the idea Lundqvist had proclaimed he'd stop all three because he seemed annoyed Jagr beat him. Either way, you should be glad to know they not only left the ice last but they were sweating profusely. The moral? I don't think Jagr has quit on the Rangers, as many of you have said. He wouldn't have been out there otherwise.

|Purple Tiger offense sputters in opener
|By RANDY SHORTNACY | News-Telegram Correspondent
Sept. 2, 2006 - LONE OAK - This is not an opening night of Texas high school football that the Mount Vernon Tigers offense will want to remember as they only totaled 51 total yards in a 33-22 opening loss to Class 2A's No. 14 Lone Oak Buffaloes.
The Tigers defense and special teams kept them in the game for the most part. Kyle Clayton turned in a big night for Mount Vernon, returning a kick off 89 yards in the second quarter, and returned a Lone Oak fumble 65 yards in the third. Clayton was also be credited with blocking two point-after attempts made by the Buffaloes.
� Neither team could get much going in the first quarter as they swapped possessions and were not be able to put any points on the board, ending the period still locked at 0-0.
Things started heating up in the second when Lone Oak's Alex Bowman started pounding the Tiger defense with rush after rush. Bowman led the Buffaloes' attack carrying the ball 34 times for 245 yards and added 66 yards in receiving to give him 311 yards of the team's 497 total yards on the night.
With 8:33 left in the half, Bowman gave Lone Oak its first points on a 30-yard run that closed a four-play drive covering 63 yards. The PAT failed and the Buffaloes were up 6-0.
Mount Vernon's offense could just not get anything going in the first half and Lone Oak was keeping the Tiger defense occupied full time.
With less than three minutes left in the half, Lone Oak struck again after quarterback Blaine Moore found Tyler Jones for 12 yards on a fourth-and-7 to kept the drive alive. Then it would be Bowman again scoring for the second time in the quarter from 4 yards out. The PAT by Cole Middleton was good, and Lone Oak was up, 13-0.
Mount Vernon pulled to within seven after Clayton scampered 89 yards to paydirt on the ensuing kick-off to put the Tigers on the board. The point after attempt failed, and at the half Lone Oak had a 13-6 advantage.
The Tigers' special teams stepped up again to begin the second half, recovering a muffed snap to the Lone Oak punter to get the ball at the Buffaloes' 12-yard line. The Tigers would only be able to pull three points out of the turnover when Landry McGonagill was good on a 25-yard field goal, cutting the Lone Oak lead to 13-9.
The Buffaloes would not allow the Tigers to stay within striking distance, though, answering the Mount Vernon points with their own. Facing a third-and-10, Moore hooked up with Bowman in the air this time for a 66-yard touchdown pass. The point-after was blocked by Clayton as Lone Oak extended its lead to 19-9.
Clayton struck again for the Tigers, recovering a Lone Oak fumble with 2:47 left in the third and returning it 65 yards to pull within three points of the Buffaloes. The PAT failed, leaving the score at 19-16.
With less than two minutes left, Bowman broke the plane of the goal line for the third time on a 55-yard run from scrimmage. Another conversion failure led the Buffaloes up 25-16.
Kolton Stoker tried to spark the Tiger offense in the fourth by scoring from 10 yards out for Mount Vernon. The PAT again was no good, and the Lone Oak lead was again only three points, 25-22.
From there, it was all Lone Oak as the Buffaloes ate up valuable time off the clock spoiling any type of comeback for the Tigers. Bowman tacked on some insurance for the Buffaloes with 4:48 left, scoring from 10 yards out. The successful conversion made the final score 32-22.
Mount Vernon is on the road again next week as the Tigers travel to Brownsboro to tangle with the Bears, game time is 7:30 p.m. Friday.

text: The father just left her with a stranger and never came back? I want to strangle parents that do these things. http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/05/19/girl.found.ap/index.html Officials issue appeal to ID abandoned girl 'I want my mommy' BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) -- Authorities appealed to the public to identify an abandoned 3-year-old girl who says her name is Courtney, she's from Brooklyn and she wants her mommy. The little girl was found May 5 when the father dropped her off with a stranger at an unknown location in Baltimore, Sue Fitzsimmons, a spokeswoman for the city Department of Social Services, said Monday. He said he was leaving to cash a money order, but he never returned and the stranger called police. The child told authorities she is from Brooklyn, New York. She said she and her father had been living in a Baltimore warehouse. The girl has been in foster care since she was found. Fitzsimmons said Monday that if Courtney's relatives do not come forward to claim her, she will be permanently placed with a family in Baltimore. "We want to do everything we can to find out who she is," Fitzsimmons said. "We hope someone is looking for her." In New York, police Sgt. Kevin Hays said Wednesday that the NYPD had no leads at this time on the girl's identity. He said Baltimore authorities continued to investigate. At Monday's news conference, Courtney played with toys and posed for pictures wearing a black-and-white summer outfit, her hair in neat cornrows. When a reporter asked her a question, she wept and said: "I want my mommy." With that, Fitzsimmons picked her up, and the news conference ended. The girl was also featured Wednesday on NBC's "Today."

I've got a larger implementation that I'm about to do. So I'm thinking about this again.
Typically I've written the error handling for each function or class at that level of abstraction. Naturally that means all the error handling is embedded throughout the application. If I need to maintain it, I need to locate what code is generating the error. That makes sense in some ways, but I'm wondering if a utility class that handles ALL error messaging for the application makes more sense or is more formal for a larger app. Opinions?
Do you write your error handling into each function? An error manager in each module? Centralized in one class for the entire app?
What do you think about it? Easy to build? Hard to maintain?
Just a general note. Logging is an extremely helpful tool for not only troubleshooting problems, but also for gathering statistics, identifying broken code or potentially unstable SQL queries, and as means to audit access to your application. Personally, I log all errors and warnings (php error/warning, database errors/warnings, failed logons or other 'application' errors and warnings), as well as significant information-only events, such as successful logins, credit card transactions, password changes, etc.
I've always done error handling at a global level, only overriding that in exceptional circumstances which require special error handling (a credit card transaction processor might be an example).
+1 for mentioning Exceptions and the try/catch syntax.
Another thing I would like to add is that, it's very important that you record all possible errors within an error log on your server. This way you will know when people are experiencing trouble rather then letting them see specific vulnerabilities.
A few specific ways it can be done are stated below, please note that this is just a basic system I use and is by no means 'bulletproof'.
Also don't forget to write fail over logic incase your DB crashes =p. Such as sending emails to admin or simply just recording the DB activities in a plain text file.
One thing I would like to do is give an example about exceptions. Exceptions are a fairly modern way to treat errors in PHP. The easiest thing to do is probably set up an error handler that throws an exception. That way all errors are converted to exceptions, leaving you to deal with one error scheme only.
The following will convert errors to exceptions for you.
function exceptions_error_handler($severity, $message, $filename, $lineno) {
if (error_reporting() == 0) {
if (error_reporting() & $severity) {
throw new ErrorException($message, 0, $severity, $filename, $lineno);
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_STRICT);
"There are a few cases though, where code is specifically designed to work with errors. For example, the schemaValidate method of DomDocument raises warnings, when validating a document. If you convert errors to exceptions, it will stop validating after the first failure. Some times this is what you want, but when validating a document, you might actually want all failures. In this case, you can temporarily install an error-handler, that collects the errors."
class errorhandler_LoggingCaller {
protected $errors = array();
function call($callback, $arguments = array()) {
set_error_handler(array($this, "onError"));
$orig_error_reporting = error_reporting(E_ALL);
try {

There is no 'one right way' to tackle error handling. You just have to ask yourself some basic questions:
Depends on what you mean by error handling. Errors in application logic/state should be handled via Exceptions and the try/catch syntax.
Ideally, these exceptions should bubble up to the appropriate level: the function level is usually not a great place to handle thrown exceptions in your application, simply due to the fact that you couple your function to the exception handler you're using. Scallio's suggestion of a global session_handler() function has its merits, though I prefer a simpler try/catch syntax (As it allows more granular exception handling). Sadly, PHP doesn't support the throws syntax in method declarations, which can make it more difficult to force the user to handle possible errors in your classes.
If you're asking about things like bad data or users skipping steps in application logic leading to well-handled but inconsistent states, I think that's more a question of what your application is doing in the first place.
Please ignore any inconsistencies in this post: I'm proofreading, but apparently my brain is already convinced it's Saturday.
As far as I'm concerned each function is responsible for its own error handling. If a function gets into a state where error handling is no longer possible/feasable, an Exception is thrown that is caught by a function set through set_exception_handler, that terminates the app and shows an error (with a backtrace when not in production mode).
PS. Seeing as you're about to get into a large project, have you considered/are you considering using a framework?

London was on Thursday rocked by four 'close to simultaneous' blasts in three tube stations and a bus, injuring one and causing panic and evacuation of parts of the city exactly two weeks after serial bomb blasts in the British capital killed at least 56.
London Police Commissioner Ian Blair said forensic material gathered from the sites of the blasts could prove a 'significant break' in solving the incidents.
"We do believe that this may represent a significant breakthrough in the sense that there obviously is forensic material at these scenes that could be very helpful to us so I feel very positive about some of these developments,'' he said.
The explosions at Warren Street tube station in central London, Oval in south London, Shepherd's Bush in west London and on a No 26 bus at the junction of Hackney Road and Columbia Road in Hackney, east London were 'pretty close to simultaneous', Blair said.
But he refused to connect Thursday's blasts to the July 7 suicide bombings on three underground trains and a bus carried out by four Islamic terrorists -- three of Pakistani origin and one a Jamaican -- saying, "It is too early."
Blair however said, "Clearly the intention must have been to kill. You don't do this with any other intention."
Describing the copy-cat attacks as a 'very serious incident', the police commissioner said though the explosions were 'smaller than on the last occasion... we do not know the implications of all this yet."
Blair said, "We can all see in front of us that the attacks have a similar pattern to the previous one," but assured that the situation was coming 'fully under control'.
"I think the important point is that the intention of the terrorists has not been fulfilled," he said.
After an emergency meeting of his cabinet, Prime Minister Tony Blair told reporters there appeared to have been no casualties from Thursday's blasts in London. He urged people to get on with their business as normal.
One person is so far reported to have been injured at Shepherd's Bush.
Speaking at Downing Street, Blair however said, "We can't minimise incidents such as this. We know why these things are done. They're done to scare people."
Reports suggested that a number of blasts had been caused by dummy blasts caused by detonator caps exploding, unconnected to explosives. Witnesses at various scenes said the blasts had come from rucksacks.
Police appealed for mobile phone imagesĀfrom witnesses. The Metropolitan police said initial examinations at all four sites showed no trace of chemical agents.

What would you like to do?
Can you include past due income taxes in a bankruptcy?
Taken from the webpage of King Law firm
State Income Tax Claims, Federal Tax Claims, and Real Estate Taxes must be included in a bankruptcy filing. Income tax claims that are less than three years old will usually be consolidated with other debts and paid over three to five years in a Chapter 13. Depending upon income and assets, income tax claims for returns that were filed more than three years before the bankruptcy can sometimes be reduced substantially in a Chapter 13 and eliminated completely in a Chapter 7.
Generally personal income taxes that are over three years old, and were assessed at least 240 days prior to bankruptcy filing, and voluntarily filed at least two years ago, can be included in a bankruptcy. However, most taxes aren't dischargeable. The trust fund portion of employment taxes is not dischargeable in bankruptcy; therefore, an Offer in Compromise is the only way to effectively eliminate the burden of the trust fund portion of employment taxes.

Thanks for the feedback!
When filing bankruptcy do they take your income tax?
This question has been discussed many times here..and there seems to be no hard and fast rule. Certainly, it depends on several things. Most importantly, is what perio…d the overpayment reflected in the refund really relates to. For example, say it is a refund for a year and you filed BK in Dec of that year. Basically, all of the tax you paid in was from pre-petition...had you had the correct amount withheld (or by estimated payment, hence no refund of overpayment being made), presumably (and rightfully) that additional amount would have been available to pay those creditors. Consider, you could have had more (even 100%) withheld and deposited in your account with the Government, that shouldn't mean you get to essentially just withdraw it now. (Had you put it in a bank account you wouldn't expect to). On the other hand, if you file the BK in January, then virtually all the overpayment is due to earnings post petition...which are actually yours and not part of the bankruptcy. Viewed this way, I think the actions make some sense. Add in any complications, like you don't make earnings evenly through the period...and it's a question needing a reasonable solution you may need to propose to the trustee.
When are Canadian Income Taxes due?
Apr 29 midnight
When did income tax due date change to April 15?
The oiriginal (1913) due date was 1 March In 1918 that date was moved forward to 15 March and remained so until 1954 when the current due date of 15 April was estab…lished.
When are Income taxes are due by?
April 15th is when yearly taxes are due. although an extension can be filed
When you are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy and have to turn over your income tax refund does this include earned income credit?
Answer Probably. It too is an asset. And, if you had savings or an investment with interest available, that too could be used. However, from discussions here i…t seems tax refunds are not always seized as part of the BK process.
What date in 2011 is the federal income tax due?
April 18, 2011 is the Due Date for Federal Income Tax Returns and Tax Extension requests.
Can federal and state taxes be included in Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
ALL assets and ALL liabilities are included. Each are given different priority. Taxes are a liability. They are included and given their priority.
When are federal income taxes due?
The total amount of your federal income tax that is due for the calender year taxpayer is usually due to be postmarked before MIDNIGHT April 15 of the year after the tax year …that the 1040 federal income tax return is for. After that due date penalties and interest will start to be added to the amount of past due taxes until the amount is paid in full.
Can your federal and state income taxes be garnished due to creditors?
Yes, the state and the government can garnish your income tax return. Call and make arrangements before this happens as this will involve several people at your employme…nt. People do not keep quiet about things like this and everyone will know. Not only that, but you could lose a sizeable amount of income that you need to live on monthly until the total balance is paid. If you make arrangements before this happens and you keep the arrangements, this can be avoided and will help your credit in the long run. Good Luck!
Can you include personal property taxes on your chapter 7 bankruptcy?
A basic, rough primer: BK is always done under FEDERAL Laws, in a Federal Bankrutpcy Court. Basically State makes little difference. (Yes the BK Courts operating in… certain areas have certain special exemptions and such, minor in the overall, generally intended to make things adhere to the local laws and customs better). In a personal bankruptcy, YOU go bankrupt. Not a debt, not a loan...not a car...not a this or that. ALL of your assets, of all types, MUST be disclosed and reported in BK, and ALL of your liabilities/debts must be too. No exceptions, no picking and choosing. They are all, always involved in some way. The court will then order each of them in priorities according to the laws. Some things may be exempt from use or discharge (like your personal furniture and retirement accounts are exempt and child support cannot be discharged) - and the rest may be used. With one to pay the other. (All possible creditors are contacted and asked to say what they are owed....you may be required to even take advertisments out to make sure everyone is notified). Any deal you've done for several years is open to scruitiny and review. The court can reverse them, take them out of the BK, or even have them prosecuted as trying to defraud your creditors. (So, no you can't sell your boat to your brother and then declare BK). Debts secured by an asset (say a car) have first call or right to the money received from that asset. If it isn't enough to pay the debt, the remainder of that debt becomes a general or unsecured claim against the BK., and has a chance to payment on that level too (albeit a lower priority than those who have yet to receive anything). The end/remaining amount that can't be satisfied is generally discharged by the court...meaning you no longer owe it. You get a fresh basically debt free start....many of those you owe don't get paid what they had expected and relied on, if anything. There are many other considerations too. BK will severly hurt your ability to get credit for a very long time for example. It is on your credit report for at least 10 years...and employers refer to that too, as do landlords and more. Many do not trust people with bankruptcies in their past, especially in the last few years. Many more things. Not disclosing all items is frequently tried and easily discovered, in which case - as you are swearing under oath to the court you included all info - your case is dismissed, and regularly, fraud charges are pursued. (Courts don't take to being lied to well). Many seem to fall into the trap thinking that they can trick or change or especially shortcut the system, or want to believe what they wrongly understand overrides things (like I don't have to report that asset because it is exempt). It simply ain't going to happen. The courts, Judges, laws, bankers, all those zillions of attornies, etc, have been through this thousands of times for many, many years. The processes are fairly well worked through and prepared for tricks and games. It is unlikely you would discover one that hasn't been tried a zillion times before! The Cos that claim they can change your record, or make magic happen (either before or after BK), are scams, and getting caught doing something unsavory (intentional or not), other than screwing up your bankruptcy filing, is frequently considered and persued criminally. (Think your financial troubles are bad, try adding in criminal ones). The legal process and system is demanding even for those experienced with it. Many of your creditors will have an attorney to assure they get as much as possible, even groups of lawyers, who specialize only in bankruptcy. Simply you should/better/need to have one too
How does one file for income tax that is past due when the past years income papers are ruined from water damage from leaky roof?
If you call the IRS or visit your local IRS office, they will be able to provide you Wage and Income transcripts. These will be transcripts of all of the W-2's, 1099's, …and other documents that were reported to them. That would give you a pretty good start.
Can a creditor take your income tax refund if you file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Depending on some things, like when the tax was paid and when the BK was filed, the refund is like any other asset and available to creditors. The trustee or court would… take it and pay it to creditors according to their standing in the case.
How do you file income tax after you have filed a chapter 7 business bankruptcy?
Just filed? Just like always, except one would expect that it would be something the administrator will want, along with confirming the status of the account with the IR…S. The business last filing should be after it dissolves.
In US Air Force
Can you include utilities bill for your income tax?
Sure if you have a business then you can use the utility bills as your deductions
What is included on an income tax worksheet?
There are several things that are included on the income tax worksheet. It provides all of the information regarding the deductions that you can take such as medical and denta…l, contributions made, taxes paid, interest paid, casualty losses and other possible tax deductions in which you may qualify for.
When are income taxes in the USA due?
Federal income taxes must be filed by April 15th every year. Extensions can be filed for those people needing a little more time to prepare their taxes. The above is true for …filing taxes; however, the actual income taxes are due when the income is earned. If income is not withheld by your employer or if you are self employed you will need to make quarterly estimated tax payments to fulfill your tax obligation.
Can HOA dues be included in a bankruptcy?
Your bankruptcy attorney can help you add assessments due and owing up to the date of your filing. Assessments incurred post filing are due and owing.

Descent makes Rock, Paper, Shotgun's best 50 First Person Shooters
In a rather lengthy and somewhat exhaustive article by Rock, Paper, Shotgun on May 13, 2015, Descent was listed in their "Best 50 FPS" list.Read More
To quote Alec Meer, author of the article:
"Our first 'but is it a first-person shooter?' entry... Rewriting what we thought possible back in the mid 1990s, this six degrees of movement spaceship shooter was really in 3D – not Doom's cheaty 2.5D deal. We felt motion sickness. We had to grow new fingers to maintain all the keyboard controls with this newfound Z-axis. And we loved it, became adept at it, shooting virus-infected enemies and rescuing hostages, before belting it out of the centre of whatever it was we were about to blow up. Descent still feels like it's asking just that little bit too much of us even today, which is exactly why it's still so loved."
It goes on to mention and link to DXX-Rebirth, GOG, and Steam.
Congratulations to the 20-year-old game still getting the recognition it deserves - and being listed among such great titles as Quake, Far Cry, Halo, Unreal Tournament, Bioshock, and many others.
The whole article deserves a read. Start from the top at http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/05/13/best-fps/ or skip to the page including Descent at http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/05/13/best-fps/3/

Things are looking good for a new 6dof game in the near future... But are either of these a new Descent in your mind?
The day has finally arrived. [size=150]It's release time![/size] Like a big rocket bound for the moon, we are going to release Sol Contingency: Proving Grounds in three stages.
1) The first is our CLOSED BETA starting Monday, November 2, limited to ~50 players.
2) We will follow up with a second, OPEN BETA phase around the middle of November.
3) After that, we're making the release official with the full, community-tested and rock solid final version of Proving Grounds.
4) And once that's done, it's time to get the next step of Sol-C kickstarted, with your help!
Since our crowdfunding campaign for the full version of Sol Contingency needs some time to be fully assembled, but we want to get the game into your hands, we have decided that this staged release is the best of both worlds: if you are a die-hard Sol-C fan, the closed beta may be your ticket in first, while everybody will get a shot at testing the open beta not much later. We want your feedback on the game and we want to see whether it stands the test of the many different machines it will be run on. After all, when we go about making the next version, we want to be sure you enjoy Proving Grounds for a long time!
"How can I get in to the closed beta?" you ask. Well, how about showing us that you're worth your salt by telling us how long you've been following us? Did you tell others about the project? Have you been an avid poster on our forum? Are you a dedicated server administrator willing to help people get started playing? Have you beta-tested a game before, do you own a YouTube channel or blog, or are you even from the press around the web and want to cover Proving Grounds?
If you can say "YES" to any of these questions, keep your eyes peeled for exact instructions on how to get in when we make the beta available on Monday! If you're a newcomer to Sol-C, the open beta will be for you -- no restrictions, everyone can participate, just hang in a few more days and we will be ready to give you a shot too.
Watch this space on Monday to see how this unfolds. Buckle up, pilots!

If that is the case (which I don't know one way or the other), I'm not sure that having subprocesses do the work would be an improvement. We know for a fact that the OOM killer knows enough to blame memory consumed by a child process on the parent. Resource limitations of other sorts might work similarly. But a bigger problem is that fork() is very very far from being zero cost. I think doing one per write() would swamp any improvement you could hope to get. It does make sense that the bgwriter would get hit by niceness penalties after it'd run up sufficient runtime. If we could get some hard numbers about how long it takes for that to happen, we could consider letting the bgwriter exit (and the postmaster spawn a new one) every so often. This is just gaming the scheduler, and so one would like to think there's a better way to do it, but I don't know of any non-root-privilege way to stave off getting niced. regards, tom lane

The first step to formulating an organized response is to define cyberwar correctly, said Robert Rodriguez, a former Secret Service special agent and founder of the Security Innovation Network. Calling what's gone on in recent years a "cyberwar" only complicates things, he said.
"War connotes huge conflict at a grand level between nations and societies," Rodriguez said.
It also involves the use of military force to essentially destroy another nation's capabilities and will to resist, according to James Lews, director and senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The cyber equivalent of such a conflict would involve a nation using cyber means to attain political ends in another country, said Lewis, who led a commission that developed a set of cybersecurity recommendations for President Obama last year.
"When you look at the number of systems that have been Trojaned or compromised, you could say our cyberbattlefield has been prepped and can be used against us," admits Jerry Dixon, former director of the National Cyber Security Division at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"However, the adversary has to decide if the intelligence they're getting from our systems and networks is more valuable than attacking them to take them offline," he said. "If they attack and take them offline, they will lose insight into what we're doing."
Making such distinctions is crucial from a strategic response standpoint. "Pronouncements that we are in a cyberwar or face cyberterror conflate problems and make effective response more difficult," Lewis said.
So if the attacks of recent years aren't warfare, what are they?
Spies or Criminals?
A lot of what's going on is happening on two levels: cyberespionage and cybercrime on a massive -- and growing -- scale. They aren't new, said Patricia Titus, the former chief information security officer at the Transportation Security Administration who now holds a similar post at Unisys Corp. But the attacks on Google and other companies refocused attention on the scope of the problem, she said.
Many of the recent attacks tended to originate from China, though countries such as Russia and India are also suspect. Specific companies and government organizations are usually targeted through the use of social engineering tricks, advanced reconnaissance and sophisticated malware tools that can quietly penetrate networks and steal data. What's not always clear is whether this kind of economic and military espionage is state-sponsored or carried out by hactivists and opportunists.
Other attacks, especially those from Eastern Europe, aim to steal money from banks, businesses, educational institutions and individuals. Most recently, cyberattacks have targeted small and midsize businesses, some of which have been forced out of business or into bankruptcy.
A Nexus of Bad Guys
Increasingly, there appears to be a nexus between the groups committing cybertheft and those doing cyberespionage, said Amit Yoran, former director of the National Cyber Security Division of the DHS and current CEO of NetWitness Corp. Many of the botnets, servers, malware tools and techniques now used in cybercrime are also being used for espionage. "Where traditionally a [state-run] intelligence service would execute their own operations, now they have ties with organized crime," he said.

Christmas tree growers expect good season
South Carolina tree sales were up 15% last year, and growers expect another strong year, according to Steve Penland, York County tree grower and executive secretary of the S.C. Christmas Tree Association. Another grower is George Kessler. He operates Hilltop Christmas Trees and, since 1971, has been growing trees in the Central area. Kessler believes more people are realizing that buying a fresh-cut locally grown tree is a smarter consumer choice and better for the environment than buying an artificial tree or a tree that is sent to a big box store from a distance.
