A super quick Foodie Friday post! I saw this sweet potato "burger" on Pinterest recently, and really wanted to try it. I threw together an ad-hoc version of it on Thursday night. The simplest recipe ever - one microwaved & scooped out sweet potato, mashed with one can of drained cannelli beans, mixed with a dash of garlic salt and diced scallions. The mixture formed into patties, then dipped in panko bread crumbs and sauteed in olive oil.
Austin declared this "pretty much sweet potato fritters on bread" - but said it was tasty. I think that I needed to sway the ratio of potato to beans just a tad more toward potato. That being said? Super quick and super tasty.

With the flash of a manga fever dream, the "Retriever" motorcycle adds the utility of a tow truck to the relative agility of a bike. Built atop a modified Honda Goldwing, the Retriever uses a 118HP 6-cylinder engine that allows it to tow up to 5,000 pounds — plenty for most cars and light trucks.
The Retriever is already in use in 10 countries, says Retriever NA, its North American supplier. Goldwings aren't exactly cheap in the first place, so I would imagine that buying a Retriever would set you back a bit, but certainly not more than a standard truck-based towing rig.
I'm putting up two pictures instead of the usual one, simply because I think it looks awesome.

Jhang homers twice, plates six runs
Pirates prospect rediscovers early-season power stroke
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MiLB.com | August 18, 2013 4:23 PM ET
If you looked only at the first four games of the season, Jin-De Jhang was one of the hottest hitters in the New York-Penn League. However, if you considered his body of work since the opening week, his power numbers could hardly be worse.
Now it appears as though the Taiwan native is finishing the year the way he started it.
Jhang went 3-for-4 with two homers and career-high six RBIs on Sunday, powering short-season Jamestown to a 7-1 victory over Auburn at Russell E. Diethrick Jr. Park.
"There were no mechanical changes, it was just more of a mental mind-set," Jammers hitting coach Kory DeHaan said. "His main focus is not to be a home run hitter. It's to stay in the opposite-field gap and that has been where his successes have been, when he's hitting the ball in that direction.
"His approach on being fastball-ready stuck out the most today because he was aggressive on the fastball and he was able to square up a couple pitches and he ended up hitting them out of the park. It was a fun day for him."
It was Jhang's first multi-homer game since signing with the Pirates as a non-drafted free agent in June 2011. The six RBIs doubled his previous high of three, achieved three times and most recently in an 8-3 win over Williamsport on June 21.
The 20-year-old catcher cracked a three-run shot to center field in the first inning and singled home Adam Frazier from second base with two outs in the third. In the fifth, Jhang hit a two-run homer to right.
"He was ready for the fastball," DeHaan said of both blasts, which came on first-pitch fastballs. "They were two early fastballs and he attacked them. He crushed the first one to straightaway center field and it had some nice carry. The second one, they came inside and he turned on it and got his hands inside and drove it over the right-field wall.
"Pitchers usually want to get ahead with a first-pitch fastball, whether that's inside or away. It depends on the organizational philosophy. Some will go in early and some will go away to get ahead with a strike. Then they will work whatever secondary pitches they have."
The 5-foot-11, 220-pound backstop homered in his second, third and fourth games of the season as he totaled eight RBIs during a five-game hitting streak. Since then, he had gone 36 games and 129 at-bats without clearing the fences.
Jhang hit safely in 24 of those 36 games but recorded only six extra-base knocks and 16 RBIs. Not taking advantage of those first-pitch fastballs is what got him in trouble at times, DeHaan said.
"The challenge is with pitchers that know how to throw two or three pitches because it can sometimes confuse young hitters. That's what they do to keep them off their main pitch," he added. "He has not been as previously hard-headed to the fastball as he should have been.
"Early in the count at times, pitchers have thrown him off-speed stuff that looks like a fastball and he has chased it and that has put questions in his mind. He just has to be stubborn to the fastball and lay off the off-speed until he gets to two strikes. To left-handed hitters, the changeup is the great equalizer. It has the same rotation and spin out of the hand that a fastball does. Then you swing and it's not there, it's still coming in."
In his debut season last summer, Jhang batted .305 with a homer and 23 RBIs in 43 games in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. He led GCL catchers with a 1.000 fielding percentage and was named a postseason All-Star.
Hitting one spot ahead of Jhang, Adam Frazier went 3-for-4 with three runs scored to help the Jammers snap a three-game losing streak. Jamestown starter Dovydas Neverauskas (4-3) got the win after allowing a run on three hits over 5 1/3 innings.

Immidio Releases Flex Profiles 7 – Best-In-Class User State Virtualization Solution
Immidio announces that it is shipping Flex Profiles 7, the latest version of its flagship product. Flex Profiles 7 decouples personal settings from the underlying Windows operating system, resulting in much shorter logon and logoff times. With Flex Profiles 7, users have a single user profile across any Windows platform – physical, virtual or remote.
Immidio Flex Profiles 7 provides instant benefits across the organization and offers fast ROI. It delivers a robust Windows user profile management platform without requiring additional investments in deploying and maintaining heavy back-end infrastructure. With properly managed granular user profile settings, IT organizations are able to troubleshoot and restore user settings on an application level rather than having to delete the complete user profile. Immidio Flex Profiles 7 brings a truly dynamic desktop closer, whether provided through physical workstations or from a virtual infrastructure.
Immidio's CEO Rob Huisman says "Flex Profiles 7 is the result of frequent interaction with our customers and partners. Many of them are preparing for migration to Windows 7. With Flex Profiles 7 decoupling personal settings from the operating system, migrating to Windows 7 becomes a lot easier."
Flex Profiles 7 is the next generation of profile management solutions. With Application Templates and Windows Common Settings delivered out-of-the-box, implementation is a matter of hours. Users immediately benefit from improved performance while IT departments can gradually introduce Flex Profiles 7 to transition smoothly from roaming profiles to well-managed user profiles.
"It's the combination of features that makes Flex Profiles 7 a very powerful solution. The cleanup of settings from applications which have been de-installed long ago, loading application settings on demand at application launch rather than at logon makes the end-users experience very fast logons. The Profile Cleanup and DirectFlex features that make this possible have received a warm welcome by our early-bird users. They enable organizations to benefit from roaming profiles with the speed, stability and manageability of mandatory profiles" says Erwin Kruk, Vice President Sales at Immidio.
Immidio Flex Profiles 7 is fully compatible with Windows 7, Microsoft RDS, VMware View, Citrix XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop. Flex Profiles 7 is the one-and-only user state virtualization solution for all Windows desktops.
A 30-day trial version of Flex Profiles 7 is available for download at the Immidio website (www.immidio.com) free of charge.

There is still a lot to cover in this final edition of my chance to ramble on about one of my passions–fantasy football. This week I'm going to rank the tight end class in 2014 (and it's far from impressive), explain my thoughts on kickers and defenses and share who wound up being my projected top 50 point-getters for the upcoming NFL season.
First, why don't I share my thoughts on what I believe will amount to a pretty lousy season for tight ends. I have a pretty easy philosophy for me this year as far as tight ends and the draft. Either take Jimmy Graham at about the eighth pic of the draft or later or don't take a tight end until much later in the draft. A lot of people might think it is worth a shot to throw a rope around Gronk early or to waste a second, third or fourth round pick on a guy like Julius Thomas or Vernon Davis, but I don't think that is so. If I don't wind up taking Graham in the late first round or second round, I'm most likely not taking a tight end until everyone else has, or it's past round seven or so.
Well, having said that, here are my rankings for tight ends in 2014:
1. Jimmy Graham (Saints) Well duh. He's clearly the top guy, and having him is like having an extra wide receiver, but remember that drafting him where he will go (likely the first round) is also giving up a potential stud running back or top of the line receiver too. That being said, I think he'll average around 17 points per game, which is a full three points more than any other tight end in my estimation.
2. Julius Thomas (Broncos) Any of the next several tight ends could easily encapsulate the second spot, but I picked Thomas mainly because of who he has throwing to him, one Peyton Manning. I expect he should average a shade below 14 points per week this season. 3. Jordan Cameron (Browns) Despite the quarterback controversy, I think Jordan Cameron will have a solid season. I wouldn't draft him before the seventh or eighth round, but he should average a little more than 13 points a game. He should still get work, no matter who's at quarterback.
4. Jason Witten (Cowboys) Old reliable Jason Witten can be counted on even at age 32. Tony Gonzalez made the mold for older, craftier tight ends, and Witten is a big dude with great hands, and should follow along Gonzalez's mold. I expect that he gets around 13 points per week.
5. Kyle Rudolph (Vikings) A big, physical pass-catching threat who should be counted on in the Norv Turner-led offense of Minnesota. Rudolph is primed for a career year, and should be on the radar no matter his quarterback. He should score around 12 points per week, and if he's available in round 9 or later, scoop him up.
6. Vernon Davis
7. Rob Gronkowski
8. Greg Olsen
9. Dennis Pitta
10. Charles Clay
With tight ends rated out, readers would expect I would go on to rank kickers and defenses. That is not so.
As far as kickers go, there is little to no rhyme or reason as to which kicker is the best in a given season. Even when one is the highest scoring it usually is not by a whole lot. Kickers rarely (if ever, of this I'm not sure) have back-to-back seasons at the top. Therefore my advice is to take a kicker in the last round.
While also very difficult to predict, and deviation is often slim, defenses are slightly more important. However, I still don't think taking one of the top defenses (Kansas City or Seattle for instance) is worth giving up the chance at a fourth or five receiver or back that could potentially have a break out year, or even just help out on bye weeks. Generally in the past, and I am going to advocate again, the process of streaming. In the second to last pick of the draft, find the defense that has the juiciest match up in week one (probably whoever is playing against Cleveland or some equally not great quarterback) and draft them. Each week do the same thing and play the match up game, dropping and picking up defenses based on the team (or quarterback) they go up against. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a team that has a string of easy match ups. I'm not against taking a defense and sticking with them week in and week out, but I feel that streaming gives me my best odds to win, and that's what I want to accomplish.
The last thing that I'll leave everyone with is a list of the top 50 players in order that I projected based on PPR scoring. This is list is NOT where I think these players should be drafted. It is based strictly on how many points I think they will score this season. There are a lot of quarterbacks on the list, and a lot near the top, but that is because the quarterback position inherently scores more points these days.
1. Aaron Rodgers 2. Drew Brees 3. Nick Foles 4. Matt Forte 5. Adrian Peterson 6. Peyton Manning 7. Matt Ryan 8. Calvin Johnson 9. Jamaal Charles 10. Lesean McCoy 11. Andrew Luck 12. Dez Bryant 13. Jay Cutler 14. Brandon Marshall 15. Cam Newton 16. Pierre Garcon 17. Arian Foster 18. Tony Romo 19. Demaryius Thomas 20. Gio Bernard 21. Le'Veon Bell 22. A.J. Green 23. Matt Stafford 24. Antonio Brown 25. Randall Cobb 26. C.J. Spiller 27. Roddy White 28. Kendall Wright 29. Russell Wilson 30. Jimmy Graham 31. Cordarelle Patterson 32. Andy Dalton 33. Philip Rivers 34. Alshon Jeffrey 35. Julio Jones 36. Vincent Jackson 37. Ben Roethlisberger 38. Montee Ball 39. Eddie Lacy 40. Jordy Nelson 41. Tom Brady 42. Jeremy Maclin 43. Percy Harvin 44. Reggie Bush 45. Rashad Jennings 46. T.Y. Hilton 47. Keenan Allen 48. Larry Fitzgerald 49. Wes Welker 50. Ben Tate.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps or has helped everyone in their drafts this year.

Trim: Base two-door convertible
Original MSRP: $22.125
KBB private party value: $5,160
Retained value 23.3% So begins the Japanese dominance of used car offerings. Of the 30 reliable used vehicles on KBB's list, Mazda, Toyota, Subaru, Honda and Nissan made 21 of them. Domestic, Korean and German manufacturers have since caught up, but the Japanese automakers were well ahead of the pack by the time the 2008 fuel crisis hit and everyone else began focusing on efficiency and durability. The Miata piled on by becoming the retiree's car of choice with a 167-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder and five-speed manual transmission that gives the competing Porsche Boxter a good run for the money. You don't get the pretty pony or the prestige when you pass up a Porsche Boxter for a Miata, but not doing so costs car buyers thousands for no real benefit. The two cars have similar acceleration (zero to 60 in 6.5 seconds for the Porsche, seven seconds for the Miata), similar ratings from Consumer Reports (90 for Porsche and 89 for Mazda) and similar customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, the Miata lacks the Porsche's slew of engine, cooling, electrical system, power equipment and significant brake problems that add up to a lot of future costs over the life of the car. The 16-inch alloy wheels, larger brakes and a child seat anchoring system Mazda put into the 2003 may not be as sweet as the available hardtop on the current model, but it's still a great convertible on the cheap.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has no plans to launch a sequel to ICO this year, the company confirmed today, but hasn't ruled out a sequel to the cult PS2 title entirely.
Reacting to an Amazon.co.uk listing for NICO - believed to be the name of the sequel - and an alleged November 29th release date, a spokesperson for Sony told Eurogamer, "SCEE has yet to announce any official information related to the sequel of ICO, but we can confirm that such game will not be launching in 2004 for Europe."
However there is glimmer of hope for fans of Ico and Yorda's celebrated PS2 adventure. "ICO has been a cherished favourite amongst PS2 gamers and we realise that a second instalment is eagerly anticipated worldwide," we were told. "Please watch this space..."
Couldn't have put it better ourselves.

ALI Carter has not given up on his dream of being crowned world champion.
And the Colchester-born potter believes this could be the year he finally gets his hands on snooker's biggest prize.
Carter, who grew up in Tiptree, gets his Crucible campaign under way on Saturday night.
He has reached the final twice, only to fall short against five-time reigning world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.
But he feels in both good form and health and ready for the challenge of going for glory in Sheffield.
"I still feel I can win it one day and if I didn't have that belief there wouldn't be any point turning up," he said.

Dose Variation and Migration Rule of Parotid Gland During Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
W Wang*, H Yang, W Hu, X Wang, W Ding, Taizhou Hospital, Taizhou, ZhejiangSU-E-CAMPUS-T-2 Sunday 3:00PM - 6:00PM Room: Exhibit Hall
Purpose: To quantify the position of parotid gland (PG) and expound rule of volume and dose changes during the Course of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (NPC).
Methods:A total of 141 CT images from 47 NPC patients (three images for each patient: acquired before treatment, at the 15th fraction and 25th fraction for each patient) who underwent radical IMRT were selected for this retrospective study. The distance between the lateral/medial aspects of PG and midline (DLM and DMM) at the level of odontoid process were measured. The parotid glands were divided into ipsilateral or contralateral base on with or without GTV contour. The variation between plan dose and actual dose were calculated.
Results:The volume reduction of both PG was more in the second half of treatment(SHT) than in the first half of treatment(FHT) (4.68±3.23 cc Vs. 2.46 ±4.55cc for the right PG and 5.96±2.99cc Vs. 2.06 ±2.99cc for the left PG). But, the V30 of bilateral PG decreased more significantly in FHT than SHT( 5.10±16.04% Vs. 1.14 ±21.54% for the right PG and 6.87±15.58% Vs. 0.81 ±15.94cc for the left PG). And the volume of GTVnx and GTVnd decreased more significantly in FHT than SHT(8.23±13.61cc Vs.3.30±8.09cc and 10.27±13.27 Vs.4.88±8.41cc). The DLM and DMM of contralateral PG shifted all medially and laterally both FHT and SHT, respectively. The DLM of ipsilateral PG shifted more medially in the FHT(3.83±1.53mm) than SHT(1.65±2.04mm), and the DMM of ipsilateral PG shifted medially in the FHT(0.80±2.96mm), but laterally in the SHT(2.19±3.96mm).
Conclusion:The reduction of GTV leads to the position change of the parotid gland, which appear more dramatic dose change of the parotid gland in the FHT than SHT.

By Haya El Nasser, USA TODAY
Pittsburgh, once the gritty center of steel manufacturing, now boasts the first "green" convention center and one of the world's largest environmentally sustainable buildings: the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
On the banks of the Allegheny River, the building taps an underground aquifer for drinking water and recycles water used in its bathrooms. Roof skylights and glass walls produce diffused light and uniform temperatures to light and heat the building naturally. The center is a striking monument to Pittsburgh's efforts to transform itself.
LIST: Cities sign Climate Protection Agreement
Pittsburgh also may soon give developers a "density bonus" if they build similar Earth-friendly projects. That could mean buildings 20% higher or larger than zoning allows.
Going green can transform the city's reputation, says Councilman William Peduto: "Nothing will be able to shed the image of Pittsburgh as a smoky city better than that."
Pittsburgh is one of dozens of cities joining the fight against global warming, taking actions designed not only to protect the environment but save money by boosting efficiency.
As the USA comes off its warmest year on record, cities are changing ordinances to encourage construction of environmentally sustainable homes and offices, buying hybrid vehicles for their fleets and giving fast approval to green projects. Many require that all public buildings comply with environmental design standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council, a coalition of building industry groups.
Almost 375 mayors of large and small cities from 50 states and the District of Columbia have signed the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement. It was reached after the United States decided not to participate in the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty to limit "greenhouse gas" emissions that took effect in 2005. Mayors call for a $4 billion federal grant to help cities fight global warming.
"The fact that mayors have really embraced it is a strong signal to the country that this is a very important issue," says Rick Fedrizzi, president of the Green Building Council, which set up the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards almost seven years ago. "Mayors do this for their cities not as window dressing but to prove that their cities are well managed."
Support builds
The political momentum rises as more Americans experience unusual weather patterns and environmentally sensitive designs and materials become more mainstream. President Bush, who once expressed doubt that global warming was a major problem, cited "the serious challenge of global climate change" in his State of the Union address last week.
"There are real practical things that can be done," says Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, who launched the mayors' push last February. He says cities can show that tackling global warming won't damage the economy, a reason Bush cited for not signing the Kyoto pact. "We now have literally 375 laboratories," Nickels says.
Cities take many approaches:
•Boston last month became the first major city to require green construction for all private buildings that cover at least 50,000 square feet.
•Seattle boasts the first electric utility to eliminate all greenhouse-gas emissions.
•Houston Councilman Peter Brown is pushing for incentives that encourage building where solar energy can best be captured.
•Sugar Land, Texas, a fast-growing Houston suburb, is converting traffic lights to light-emitting diode bulbs. "We're saving literally hundreds of thousands of dollars," Mayor David Wallace says. "It comes down not just to quality of life but economic development. … We reduce taxes."
Green can mean green
Pittsburgh, home to major companies (PPG Industries) and universities (Carnegie Mellon), is one of several cities repositioning themselves as centers of "green" technology, tackling everything from research and development to manufacturing and marketing.
"When I look at the green movement, I see a product, a market," Peduto says. "We have the opportunity because of our hillsides, our topography and manufacturing base to take it to the next level … to produce the product."
States and cities recognize that there's money to be made in the green movement, and those still struggling to adjust to the downturn in manufacturing are joining the movement.
In southeastern Michigan, wind farms are being built that could generate up to 30% of the state's energy needs. Entrepreneurs are converting old auto-parts factories to produce solar panels.
On the western side of the state in Grand Rapids, capital of leading furniture-makers, companies such as Herman Miller and Steelcase are producing eco-friendly furniture from desks to chairs and cabinets. They're reducing the use of hardwoods from forests that are poorly managed and even designing furniture that can be easily taken apart and recycled.
Syracuse, N.Y., has long adapted to economic change. It went from salt manufacturing to being the typewriter capital to the city where TVs were made. Now it's home to the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems, a consortium of businesses and universities aiming to develop green technologies.
The center, which focuses on research, product testing and marketing, and Syracuse University helped five entrepreneurs who developed a heating and cooling unit that's cleaner, quieter and uses less energy. They refined it, tested it, obtained a patent and marketed it. New Climate Air Quality Systems had its first sale last summer.
"Clean and green technology has become the great hope for cities and states across the USA," says Joel Makower, executive editor of GreenBiz.com, an information center for green building. "Mayors and governors see it not only as a means of creating new businesses and jobs but also skilled and desirable jobs."
Green building has become so popular that cities are clamoring for bragging rights. Grand Rapids boasts the most LEED-certified buildings per capita of any U.S. city. Pittsburgh says it has "more square feet of certified green buildings than any other city in America."
Fedrizzi of the Green Building Council doesn't argue any of the claims. "I applaud every city that says, 'We're the greenest,' " he says. "Every one of them should want to be the greenest and should want to outdo each other."

Launched on Feb. 10, 1970 by the prestigious Stephens Bros. shipyard in Stockton, CA, Hull# M-153 is an excellent example of the superior quality aluminum vessels that were produced at this historic facility. Classic lines and stylish layout will offer her new owner(s) the opportunity to restore her back to her original elegance as a head-turner for the rich & famous, or easily adapt the layout for a spacious live-aboard, potential "Boat & Breakfast", or comfortable harbor/coastal cruiser.
There is much to said about a discriminate investor that can spot a diamond in the rough. During the production years of the Stephens Bros. shipyard, the vessels produced were the "Cadillacs" in boats. Today Hull# M-153 is on the market, and we are looking for a serious buyer looking to invest in a small piece of maritime history.
* Thank you for your interest in my 65' Stephens Flybridge Motoryacht. For additional information, or to schedule your personal viewing, please contact Mark Davenport at (310) 804-7535, or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The owner of this classic 65' Stephens has done a wonderful job retaining much this vessel's nostalgic charm. The potentials are many, as this vessel has a layout that keeps the forward crew's quarters and lower galley separate from the aft owner's cabin and VIP stateroom. The raised pilothouse has a very "maritime" feel, and forward steps down leads to the very spacious and comfortable main salon.
* Forward Crew Quarters (port)
* Forward Single Pilot Berth (stbd)
* Forward Crew's Head
* Lower Full Galley w/ Dinette
* Spacious Main Salon
* Raised Pilothouse
* Aft VIP Stateroom
* Aft Owner's Cabin
* Aft Head w/ Glass Shower Enclosure
Down from the main salon is the ship's galley to port and a comfortable dinette w/ a beautiful wood table to starboard. The galley underwent a remodel in 1994, and new floor covering and wall coverings were installed in 1997-1998.
* Full-size GE Refrigerator/Freezer w/ Ice Maker
* Jenaire Electric Cooktop w/ Oven
* Free-standing Dishwasher
* Creda Convection Oven
* Coffee Maker

Two public toilets are set to close in Belper - after councillors refused to spend a penny of the £16,500 it costs a year to run the facilities.
Amber Valley Borough Council are shutting the ablutions at the Triangle from November 2, with the main toilet in Strutt Street earmarked for closure next March.
Shoppers caught short in the town centre will have to use the council-run facilities at the River Gardens, which will be refurbished as part of the plans.
Councillor Chris Emmas– Williams said of the current state of those toilets: "I visited the facility in River Gardens with my grandchildren and it's a disgrace. It's not open when it's supposed to be open, it smells awful and there's no soap or anything."
Fourteen closures across the borough, including toilets at Crich and Heage, were rubber stamped at a full council meeting on Wednesday, September 26 - saving the authority more than £63,000 a year.
Toilets at Ambergate and Duffield have already been shutdown.
Councillor Stuart Bradford said: "Public toilets are abused. Quite often they are used for everything but what they were designed for.
"I suspect very few ladies use public toilets _ they always dive into a supermarket or big store.
"Public toilets have cost us an awful lot of money - just to see them trashed.
"We have got to get people more continental in their thinking."
It is hoped to replace the toilets with a Community Toilet Scheme (CTS) whereby local organisations are given £600 to make their toilets available to the general public.
Subway in Belper had volunteered for the scheme when it was first proposed.
However the takeaway has since closed and no other organisations have come forward.
Around £10,000 is being set aside by the council to run the scheme across the borough. One business has volunteered in Heage.
Leader of the council, John Nelson, said after the meeting that businesses on King Street and Bridge Street in Belper would now be approached.
"If I was running a business, I would consider opening my toilet for £600," he said.
However, Councillor Paul Smith said: "It's a 12-month contract, what happens if these people walk away after 12 months?"
Parish and town council's were offered the opportunity to take over the toilets, but so far only Ripley Town Council has expressed an interest.
Councillor Marlene Bennett said she had spoken to many people who were against the closures.
"I'm totally opposed to any toilets being closed. I wish someone would just go and monitor how many people use those toilets.
"Four different bus drivers used the toilets at Alfreton bus station while I was there. One of them said to me : 'It looks as though we are going to have a lot of wet wheels'."
Councillor Steve Hayes responded by saying usage levels had already been monitored:: "We know how often they use them - so I don't think that holds water."

RSA Laboratories
3.6.7 What are some other block ciphers?
Many of the block ciphers proposed in recent years, including those listed below, were developed (at least in part) either as successors to DES or as candidates for the Advanced Encryption Standard, AES. See Sections 3.2 and 3.3 for more information on DES and AES, respectively. For descriptions of the five finalists to the AES (MARS, Rijndael, RC6, Serpent, and Twofish), see Question 3.3.2.
IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm) [LMM92] is the second version of a block cipher designed and presented by Lai and Massey [LM91]. It is a 64-bit iterative block cipher with a 128-bit key. The encryption process requires eight complex rounds. While the cipher does not have a Feistel structure (see Question 2.1.4), decryption is carried out in the same manner as encryption once the decryption subkeys have been calculated from the encryption subkeys. The cipher structure was designed to be easily implemented in both software and hardware, and the security of IDEA relies on the use of three incompatible types of arithmetic operations on 16-bit words. However some of the arithmetic operations used in IDEA are not that fast in software. As a result the speed of IDEA in software is similar to that of DES.
One of the principles used during the design of IDEA was to facilitate analysis of its strength against differential cryptanalysis (see Question 2.4.5) and IDEA is considered to be immune to differential cryptanalysis. Furthermore there are no linear cryptanalytic attacks on IDEA and there are no known algebraic weaknesses in IDEA. The most significant cryptanalytic result is due to Daemen [DGV94], who discovered a large class of 251 weak keys (see Question 2.4.5) for which the use of such a key during encryption could be detected easily and the key recovered. However, since there are 2128 possible keys, this result has no impact on the practical security of the cipher for encryption provided the encryption keys are chosen at random. IDEA is generally considered to be a very secure cipher and both the cipher development and its theoretical basis have been openly and widely discussed.
SAFER (Secure And Fast Encryption Routine) is a non-proprietary block cipher developed by Massey in 1993 for Cylink Corporation [Mas93]. It is a byte-oriented algorithm with a 64-bit block size and, in one version, a 64-bit key size. It has a variable number of rounds, but a minimum of six rounds is recommended. Unlike most recent block ciphers, SAFER has slightly different encryption and decryption procedures. Only byte-based operations are employed to ensure its utility in smart card-based applications that have limited processing power. When first announced, SAFER was intended to be implemented with a key of length 64 bits and it was accordingly named SAFER K-64. Another version of SAFER was designed that could handle 128-bit keys and was named SAFER K-128. A variant - SAFER+ - was submitted to the AES, but the algorithm did not qualify for the second round, due to its lack of speed.
Early cryptanalysis of SAFER K-64 [Mas93] showed that SAFER K-64 could be considered immune to both differential and linear cryptanalysis (see Question 2.4.5) when the number of rounds is greater than six. However, Knudsen [Knu95] discovered a weakness in the key schedule of SAFER K-64 and a new key schedule for the family of SAFER ciphers soon followed. These new versions of SAFER are denoted SAFER SK-64 and SAFER SK-128 where SK denotes a strengthened key schedule (though one joke has it that SK really stands for ``Stop Knudsen'', a wise precaution in the design of any block cipher). Most recently, a version of SAFER called SAFER SK-40 was announced, which uses a 40-bit key and has five rounds (thereby increasing the speed of encryption). This reduced-round version is secure against differential and linear cryptanalysis in the sense that any such attack would require more effort than a brute-force search for a 40-bit key.
The Fast Data Encipherment Algorithm (FEAL) was presented by Shimizu and Miyaguchi [SM88] as an alternative to DES. The original cipher (called FEAL-4) was a four-round cryptosystem with a 64-bit block size and a 64-bit key size and it was designed to give high performance in software. Soon a variety of attacks against FEAL-4 were announced including one attack that required only 20 chosen plaintexts [Mur90]. Several results in the cryptanalysis of FEAL-8 (eight-round version) led the designers to introduce a revised version, FEAL-N, where N denoted the number of rounds. Biham and Shamir [BS91b] developed differential cryptanalytic attacks against FEAL-N for up to 31 rounds. In 1994, Ohta and Aoki presented a linear cryptanalytic attack against FEAL-8 that required 225 known plaintexts [OA94], and other improvements [KR95a] followed. In the wake of these numerous attacks, FEAL and its derivatives should be considered insecure.
Skipjack is the encryption algorithm contained in the Clipper chip (see Question 6.2.4), designed by the NSA (see Question 6.2.2). It uses an 80-bit key to encrypt 64-bit blocks of data. Skipjack is expected to be more secure than DES in the absence of any analytic attack since it uses 80-bit keys. By contrast, DES uses 56-bit keys.
Initially, the details of Skipjack were classified and the decision not to make the details of the algorithm publicly available was widely criticized. Some people were suspicious that Skipjack might not be secure, either due to an oversight by its designers, or by the deliberate introduction of a secret trapdoor. Since Skipjack was not public, it could not be widely scrutinized and there was little public confidence in the cipher.
Aware of such criticism, the government invited a small group of independent cryptographers to examine the Skipjack algorithm. They issued a report [BDK93] that stated that although their study was too limited to reach a definitive conclusion, they nevertheless believed Skipjack was secure.
In June 1998 Skipjack was declassified by the NSA. Early cryptanalysis has failed to find any substantial weakness in the cipher.
Blowfish is a 64-bit block cipher developed by Bruce Schneier [Sch93]. It is a Feistel cipher (see Question 2.1.4) and each round consists of a key-dependent permutation and a key-and-data-dependent substitution. All operations are based on XORs and additions on 32-bit words. The key has a variable length (with a maximum length of 448 bits) and is used to generate several subkey arrays. This cipher was designed specifically for 32-bit machines and is significantly faster than DES. There was an open competition for the cryptanalysis of Blowfish supported by Dr. Dobb's Journal with a $1000 prize. This contest ended in April 1995 [Sch95]; among the results were the discoveries of existence of certain weak keys (see Question 2.4.5), an attack against a three-round version of Blowfish, and a differential attack against certain variants of Blowfish. However, Blowfish can still be considered secure, and Schneier has invited cryptanalysts to continue investigating his cipher. The AES candidate Twofish is based on Blowfish.
CAST-128 is another popular 64-bit Feistel cipher allowing key sizes up to 128 bits. The name CAST stands for Carlisle Adams and Stafford Tavares, the original inventors of CAST. CAST-128 consists of 16 non-identical rounds, where each round is built up by simple operations such as integer and bitwise addition and rotation. CAST-128 is owned by Entrust Technologies but is free for commercial as well as non-commercial use. The algorithm has been widely adopted by the internet community and is part of products from Pretty Good Privacy, IBM, and Microsoft. CAST-256 is a freely available extension of CAST-128 accepting up to 256 bits of key size and with a 128-bit block size. CAST-256 was one of the original candidates for the AES. Though no security weaknesses were found, the algorithm did not qualify for the second round. CAST-256 and the finalist Serpent share the property of strongly favoring security over speed, and since it is considered as unlikely that two ``slow'' algorithms would be selected for the AES, only one of them qualified for the second round. We emphasize that CAST-256 can be considered as secure.

Netroots Night Scene Day Two
Aside from a lot of free stuff (American Apparel shirts, water bottles and yoyos being handed out at The Point booth? Someone's got some serious venture capitol!), there have been some good parties and oodles of young, nerdy men who will soon go back to DC available to buy and/or fetch me drinks at them.
The winning party tonight was definitely the Huffington Post/GQ party at Lambert's. Good scene, non-netroots people who looked like they were more GQ than HuffPo, if you get my drift, and free food. I haven't ever seen deviled eggs in a bar, but then again, I've never been to a bar that had GQ magazines sitting on every table.
First, this guy from the DLCC was mad because I apparently triggered the Google alert back in DC and all of his colleagues made fun of the picture I put up of him from yesterday. So we did another take. What do you DLCC people think of this one?
This is Kenton Ngo, who is 17 years old and has been blogging since he was in the womb. He was on the panel about kid bloggers which I hear Matt Glazer was a co-panelist on. When asked about his hat, Ngo said he likes the quirky hat because it "attracts print journalists." Right. So I guess print media isn't dead? Ironically, Kenton's blog was hacked into today so when I tried to go to 750 Volts on my Blackberry, there was this huge link farm for Viagra on his blog instead. Kenton just about had a meltdown. Kenton is also from DC and struggles with the fact that he has a flip-phone.
I couldn't make this stuff up, people.
The beauty of being young and in a WiFi zone is that when you meet someone new, you can instantly Facebook them and subsequently Google the heck out of them. And I say that without the slightest bit of innuendo. Here, Jim Walsh from DLCC Web and I share an intimate meta-moment.
Also at Lambert's was Baratunde Thurston, a comedian, blogger and the emcee of Netroots Nation 2008. He thinks Austin feels naked without SXSW to which I had to keep from saying "Yes, without all of those skinny jeans in town, we really do."
Last but not least, I met Ed Kilgore who is a political analyst and writes for the likes of Salon.com and The Democratic Strategist. I talked to him for a long time about the changing face of Austin, speechwriting, and Hunter S. Thompson.

The "10 Basic Survival Needs" in an emergency or disaster are essentially the same that we have in our daily lives but which we tend to take for granted unless we come under some disaster or emergency that causes us to struggle to meet them.
For example, if we lose power or water due to an accident, earthquake, storm, or other emergency or disaster, most of us will begin almost immediately to feel inconvenienced and think about emergency supplies. Should the outage or emergency continue past a few hours, we would begin to scramble to find emergency supplies to help hydrate and feed ourselves, to stay warm or cool, or to maintain proper hygiene and sanitation. We would then become more aware of the fact that there really are basic survival needs to be consistently met if we are to stay comfortable, safe, and healthy.
The "10 basic survival needs" to keep us safe and healthy in an emergency or disaster translate to 10 categories of emergency or survival supplies:
One should ask themselves what is most important emergency supply? Is it emergency food or emergency water? Is trauma first aid most important or emergency shelter?
As you think through various disaster scenarios, it quickly becomes apparent that the emergency supplies of most importance depend on the specific emergency situation. If you are losing large amounts of blood due to a wound, you most need trauma first aid supplies, not a pouch of emergency water. If you are uninjured but left outside in the heat of summer, you need a pouch of emergency water, not trauma first aid supplies. Because emergencies by their nature are not totally predictable, it is important to have emergency supplies from each category of the "10 Basic Emergency Supplies" in your emergency kit.
Having a feeling for the importance of all 10 emergency supply categories helps you move beyond just filling an emergency backpack by checking off a list to preparing a comprehensive emergency kit that you actually understand how to use. Once you understand about various kinds of emergency supplies, you can determine if you need emergency flashlights or just emergency light sticks. Does your emergency communication plan include a battery powered emergency radio or a hand crank radio.
The emergency supplies provided by LifeSecure Emergency Solutions are trusted, tested and tough.

text: Kesington Kross might have only crossed our radar just recently with his Audio Justice EP, but we're pretty sure he has the talent to stay there. In fact, you can look no further than his single "Gimme Your Love" for proof of his staying power. The infectious '80s throwback had us at the first hit of synth and kept us coming back thanks to KES' super smooth vocal. For the track's video, the up-and-coming singer aims for a futuristic noir flair as he weaves a tale of cyborgs, love and murder on the neon streets of a futuristic city that could fit in the world of current television show Almost Human. But though his vision is set in the future, KES' anchoring of the song in the past serves as the perfect counterpoint for the the clip's grittiness. Although the video ends with the dreaded "to be continued..." that rarely gets followed up in the music video world, something tells us that folks will be coming back to witness the rest of this tale. You can pick up "Gimme Your Love" from iTunes now and witness KES in action in the song's video right here.

that is crazy

Ah ha, sweet!
Here's another great art piece from you. It really makes me glad to be someone who looks at all of your stuff. I think the strongest part about this is probably how pathetic the creature looks like while it's being destroyed. It is hard to feel something for something that is so ugly. It has a really nice cartoonish feel to it while still seeming hardcore. It looks like a Creature From The Black Lagoon-esque character.
I also like how you are showing motion through the throwing of the sword. There's a great amount of detail put into everything. Rednecks would probably know more about killing wild things than anyone else in the country. It looks like the monster is trying to summon some magic or something with his hand. It's also missing an eye.

Praise for An Ordinary Decent Criminal:
"An Ordinary Decent Criminal would have Quentin Tarantino smiling from page one. Doubt me? Read page one." -Michael Koryta, author of The Cypress House
"A fast and funny tale about an ex-con going straight the crooked way.... Exceptionally readable entertainment." --Kirkus, starred review
"Van Rooy's debut novel is gritty, full of plenty of dark humor and suspense". -The Oregonian
"Monty Haaviko… is a very engaging protagonist and narrator with a story arc that takes him in one direction and then another, back and forth, until the tale reaches its rewarding and appropriate conclusion (leaving the door open, incidentally, for a sequel or two). Van Rooy is not merely a capable writer but a quite gifted one; he draws us into the story pretty much immediately and never really gives us an opportunity to turn away. Definitely a writer to watch." -Booklist
"A fairy tale worthy… of Quentin Tarantino. Michael van Rooy… makes his hero a MacGyver of crime, who spouts handy lawbreaking tips even as he creates elaborate booby traps or sets up the bad cop for a fall. He's really committed to his new life with his wife and baby, and that makes him a charming rogue instead of a smart-aleck lowlife." -The Charlotte Observer
"Canadian author Michael Van Rooy introduces an appealing antihero, Montgomery Haaviko, in his debut, a gritty, offbeat suspense novel... [with] enough dark humor to please Elmore Leonard fans." --ThrillerWriters.org
"Astonishingly good…funny, fast-paced and so hugely compelling its hard to put down. Van Rooy has all the elements—a terrific protagonist, a twisting plot and a writing style that snaps along." -Winnipeg Free Press (Canada)
"A commentary on justice and vengeance, and a handbook on criminal practice in a fun-packed, eminently readable romp." -Prairie Fire Magazine
"Michael Van Rooy is one of those few writers who really stand out in a genre otherwise flooded with mediocre books. His protagonist is as tough as any character Ive ever read, but he also has smarts and a huge heart. This is truly one of the best books Ive read all year. Michael Van Rooy is Canadas best-kept secret in crime fiction." -Steve Hamilton, Edgar Award-winning author of The Lock Artist
"Extraordinary writing… Van Rooy has created a contemporary hero who defines an individuals struggle against the weight of a society that has judged and found irredeemable. Admittedly, a career criminal yearning for the straight life may be an anomaly, but theres just something about this guy that makes you want him to succeed. And thats thanks to this authors stellar storytelling and appreciation of the changeableness of the human heart." -CurledUp.com
"This witty, fast-past, edgy, action thriller will keep you cheering for the bad guy in this debut novel from Canadian author, Michael Van Rooy." --DamnedInsatiableThirstEternalLanguor.blogspot.com
"If you like your crime novels hard-boiled with plenty of wry, dark humor and unpredictable twists, you should read Van Rooy. You wont be disappointed." --CarusoNoir.wordpress.com
MICHAEL VAN ROOY was a full-time writer who lived in Canada. In his diverse career, he worked as a teacher, a newspaper editor, a bartender, a cheesemaker, and a casino dealer. He won the 2009 John Hirsh Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer. He passed away suddenly in January 2011. He will be missed.

Technical Paper / First International Pyroprocessing Research Conference
Idaho National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory have developed and demonstrated a pyroprocessing technology for the U.S. Department of Energy to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. One of the key steps in the pyroprocessing was electrorefining the spent fuel in a metal form in a molten LiCl-KCl-UCl3/liquid cadmium (Cd) system using the Mark-IV, an engineering-scale electrorefiner (ER). This paper summarizes experimental observations and engineering aspects for the roles of the Cd in electrorefining spent fuel in the Mark-IV ER. It was found that the Cd pool acted as an intermediate electrode during the electrorefining process. The Cd level gradually decreased because of its high vapor pressure at the ER operating temperature. The low Cd level caused the anode assembly to electrically short with the ER vessel hardware, which resulted in difficulty determining the endpoint of uranium dissolution from the anode baskets and reduced the current efficiency. A reflux Cd vapor trap successfully prevented the Cd level from decreasing and mitigated Cd vapor deposition on the cold metal surface inside the ER.

Steel Valley freshman RB capping special season
The bashful kid slowly walked over to a visitor in the Steel Valley locker room, generating just a touch of emotion while displaying all the respect and humbleness any parent would want in a child.
At 14, DeWayne Murray is young to be playing high school football, let alone starring in it.
The running back enters the final game of his freshman season likely wondering what he can do to top his 325-yard rushing performance one week ago in the Ironmen's 31-21 victory over South Allegheny.
The same goes for Steel Valley coach Rod Steele, a former longtime assistant at Central Catholic.
"I've coached a lot of kids over the years like that," Steele said. "It's something special when you get to coach them. He's one of those guys. I don't even think the kid gets taped. There's just something about him. ... The kid is just a tough kid. He plays middle linebacker, too.
"What opened my eyes (against South Allegheny) was when he was in the open field and pulled away. I've seen that from him before, but against maybe less talented athletes. They have athletes on the back end. That really struck me. He had another level to him."
It was Murray's third game of at least 200 yards rushing, bringing his season total to 1,336 yards on 136 carries (9.8 average). He scored on touchdown runs of 37, 70 and 3 yards.
"I'm just trying to get somewhere far," Murray said after the game.
Murray, whose role increased when senior running back D'Andre Pickens was lost for much of the season with a foot injury, will lead Steel Valley (3-5, 3-4) on Friday night at McGuffey (4-4, 3-4) — two teams out of contention for the WPIAL Class AA playoffs — in their Century Conference finale.
Pickens rushed for nearly 600 yards in Steel Valley's first three games but has played only briefly since suffering the injury.
"What has impressed me about Dwayne is his physicality," Steele said. "You can't teach that as a football coach. He understands the magnitude of playing sore — at this young age."
The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Murray, whose backfield mate, Tyrone Freeman, added 140 yards rushing last week, is another in a line of impressive players to come through the Steel Valley midget football league. Some of those names include Charlie Batch, Adam Walker, Ed Collington, Lafayette Pitts, James Caldwell, Pickens and Delrece Williams, the WPIAL record-holder for rushing yards in a season with 2,149 in 2010.
"Dwayne just played for us last season," said Michael "Lefty" Todd, a coach with the youth league. "At Steel Valley, we don't have a freshman team or grade school teams. What happens is the kids go straight to the high school. We try to teach them the fundamentals and the toughness of Western Pennsylvania football."
Murray apparently has gotten the message.
"When you hear our youth coach comparing this guy to some of those others, you know he's special," Steele said. "But this guy has something they didn't have. What comes off right away is his maturity at such a young age. I don't want to put a bull's-eye on him, but that puts him at the top of the totem pole."

Orbital Fractals - Part 3
In Part 3 of the tutorial, we are going to generate a few images based on the built-in Orbital Equation Symmetric Icon - Standard Formula.
Select the Orbital Equation: IFS File Processor properties page:
Set Based On to Symmetric Icon - Standard Formula.
Symmetric Icons are strange attractors that produce symmetric designs based on the equations given in the book Symmetry in Chaos by Michael Field and Martin Golubitsky.
Read the comments in the program's Instructions at the bottom of the page and then select the program's Properties page. Set Icon to Example 04 and execute the Display Fractal command on the Tools menu of the Fractal Window to generate the fractal image.
Below find several example images generated by this equation:
Below each image is the value of the Icon property used to create the image.
To color these icons, I used the Color Scheme property found on the controllers properties page:
For the 3 examples above I set the Color Scheme property to the following gradients: 3 Colors - Night Sky, 3 Colors - Earth Tones, and 3 Colors - Deep Sea.
In Part 4 of the tutorial we are going to manipulate Example 28, so set Icon to Example 28 on the Symmetric Icon - Standard Formula properties page, and set the Color Scheme property to 3 Colors - Forest Floor on the controller's properties page.

|Whillock signs baseball scholarship offer with Cisco Junior College
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
June 2, 2005 - Two weeks after his senior season ended, Miller Grove's Ben Whillock made sure he will continue to play baseball.
Whillock last weekend signed a scholarship offer from Cisco Junior College to pitch for the Wranglers.
As a senior southpaw for the Hornets, Whillock compiled a 5-1 record with a 2.14 ERA, and averaged over two strikeouts per inning by fanning 104 batters in 42 innings during the regular season. He also had a .475 batting average.
On Sunday, he arranged a tryout at Cisco Junior College with head coach David White and pitching coach Shawn Hughes. They were immediately impressed.
"Ben did a great job at our try out on Sunday," White said. "We could not work out on our field due to the rain. We had to go inside and workout in the
gym. He did really well off of flat ground.
"Shawn, our pitching coach, liked what he saw and Ben agreed to join our squad."
He will be trying to help the Wranglers build a program that went 4-24 in conference play and 12-32 overall in 2005. In high school, he was a mainstay for the Hornets, who were District 14-A champions and made it to the regional quarterfinals before losing to Union Hill.
"He seemed to be exactly what we look for here at Cisco. He was polite, understood our situation, and wanted to help us build a winning program," White explained. "We feel like we got a big piece to our puzzle."
Cisco JC is located in Eastland County and is a member of the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference.

Male circumcision is the best way to prevent new HIV infections in the military, the head of US anti-AIDS efforts told a gathering of top army brass from Africa, Eastern Europe and central Asia.
"We believe male circumcision is a highly significant, lifetime intervention. It is a gift that keeps on giving. It makes a lot of sense to put extraordinary resources into it
Studies show that circumcision can dramatically reduce HIV infections. One study in South Africa last year found new infections fell by 76 percent after a circumcision programme was launched in a township.

Six Flags
Dividend Yield: 5.76%
Green Light
Surprised to see an amusement park on this list? Well, Six Flags (NYSE:SIX) makes the grade. It operates 19 parks, with 17 in the U.S., one in Mexico City and one in Montreal.
Six Flags is a great story, having come back from the dead in early 2009 when the stock traded for a mere 6 cents. The company had losses of over $100 million, and it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy from which it emerged in 2011.
Six Flags took great pains to increase its attractions and improve the quality of the park experience. Attendance rose, and the company's recovery doesn't appear over. As the economy rebounds and people get back to visiting theme parks, Six Flags looks to build on 2011's $1 billion in revenue.
But the biggest change in the company's outlook when the dividend, which was at a post-bankruptcy 15 cents per share in February 2011, jumped five-fold to the current 90 cents in just over eight quarters. That's why this company gets the go-ahead.

Prince to Concertgoers: 'Cell, No!'
Party expert and Rihanna lookalike Prince nearly pulled the plug on a recent charity concert, when attendees—who included Dave Chappelle, Spike Lee, Anderson Cooper, Howard Stern and Dennis Rodman—couldn't pull themselves away from their phones, according to the New York Post.
The diminutive rocker was scheduled to play a gig benefiting Love 4 One Another on the rooftop of Manhattan's Gansevoort Hotel over the weekend.
But the crowd's rampant cell-phone use was wreaking havoc with the "Purple Rain" singer's sound system.
According to the paper, the emcee's pleas that "there may not be a show" if the fans didn't hang up their damn cell phones fell on deaf—or at least otherwise occupied—ears.
Among those refusing to ring off included a publicist involved with the event.
Luckily, concert organizers eventually convinced the audience to turn off their phones and the show went on.
"It was so obnoxious," a fan later told the paper. "To think a bunch of idiots can't exist without their precious cells for an hour."
Yeah; a bunch of show-bizzers gluing their ears to their phones despite explicit instructions not to—it's practically unthinkable.
It's a good thing Naomi Campbell wasn't among the famous faces at the event. Prince wouldn't want to run into her when she's agitated and has a cell phone in her hand.
