Nebraska fans thought that Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was running up the score. But the Cornhuskers trailed 56-38 when they got the ball for the final time after a punt with 3:17 left in Saturday's game. On Nebraska's second play Taylor Martinez fumbled and Ohio State recovered at the Nebraska 26. They Buckeyes tried to kill time by just running the ball but Ohio State's running back Carlos Hyde broke through and scored to make it 63-38. No one in the Nebraska locker room including head coach Bo Pelini thought that the Buckeyes were running up the score.
But some outside sources thought that they were including sports writers and fans. They put their opinions in on Twitter. One tweet by another Huskers backer summed it up. In so many words, he (or she) said, "It's all on you, Huskers. NU not going anywhere, Mr. Meyer." So the person here is saying that they will see them later on in the year when the Big Ten Tournament comes around so they can get their revenge.
The Buckeyes will face the Hoosiers in Indiana on Saturday at 8 p.m. the Hoosiers are struggling so maybe we'll see another high scoring game by the Buckeyes.

West softball is in its infancy, but the Panthers are making strides to join the ranks of solid clubs in the state.
West, which features an extraordinarily young roster, has suffered defeats and setbacks, but they haven't dampened the team's spirits.
Senior Shanice Lozano doesn't focus on the wins and losses. The season has been about learning the game and overcoming adversity.
"In past years, we laid down when we got behind and let people step on us," Lozano said. "Doesn't matter if we're down by 20 or up by three we kept strong and kept fighting."
As a four-year starter for the Panthers, Lozano recognized that a lot of West's problems this season came from youth and inexperience. The team struggled with retaining players from previous years, but she believes that the roster finally has the right young athletes.
"At West, there are so many opportunities to get involved with sports, and you can take it as far as you want to," Lozano said. "I like the girls we have, and I think they are making strides to be better players."
The Panthers are hosting a practice more akin to role playing inside the sandlot ballpark sandwiched between 300 West and the soccer field. They are in a cacophonic frenzy, yelling out where the ghost runners are and what the count is against an imaginary opponent.
"Know where the runners are!"
"Cover your base!"
"Make the play!"
Leading the vocal charge is freshman third baseman Raeli Aiono. She yells over her shoulder to the outfield, warning them where the play is and which base has runners. Coach Craig Graves hits a pop fly to center and Aiono gracefully covers third for the out.
"We're working on developing together," Aiono said. "As a team, it's important to keep each other up and going. When one of us is down, we're all down."
At first base, Mariah Arellano has watched Aiono's development. As one of the seniors on the team, Arellano has been impressed with Aiono's focus and determination.
"Raeli has improved a lot this year," Arellano said. "She is much more confident, and confidence equals success."
With eight doubles this season, Graves agrees with Aiono's progression. He is pleased with her constant improvement and willingness to put in the work to become a better ballplayer.
"She is definitely one of our bright spots," Graves said. "With such a young team, it's good to have a girl like Raeli making improvements every day."
In the closing moments of practice, the infield works on a rundown. With a runner caught between second and third, the infield lines up and makes the lobbing tosses, closing the gap between the bases. The last throw finds Aiono's mitt, and she makes the tag.
Graves smiles as his team makes a small step toward success on the field. Graves said throughout the season that Aiono always is where she needs to be. West might need work with some of the fundamentals, but he doesn't have to work on heart.
"Say what you will about them, they haven't given up they never give up," he said.

One of the more extreme government abuses of the post-9/11 era targets U.S. citizens re-entering their own country, and it has received far too little attention. With no oversight or legal framework whatsoever, the Department of Homeland Security routinely singles out individuals who are suspected of no crimes, detains them and questions them at the airport, often for hours, when they return to the U.S. after an international trip, and then copies and even seizes their electronic devices (laptops, cameras, cellphones) and other papers (notebooks, journals, credit card receipts), forever storing their contents in government files. No search warrant is needed for any of this. No oversight exists. And there are no apparent constraints on what the U.S. Government can do with regard to whom it decides to target or why.
In an age of international travel -- where large numbers of citizens, especially those involved in sensitive journalism and activism, frequently travel outside the country -- this power renders the protections of the Fourth Amendment entirely illusory. By virtue of that amendment, if the government wants to search and seize the papers and effects of someone on U.S. soil, it must (with some exceptions) first convince a court that there is probable cause to believe that the objects to be searched relate to criminal activity and a search warrant must be obtained. But now, none of those obstacles -- ones at the very heart of the design of the Constitution -- hinders the U.S. government: now, they can just wait until you leave the country, and then, at will, search, seize and copy all of your electronic files on your return. That includes your emails, the websites you've visited, the online conversations you've had, the identities of those with whom you've communicated, your cell phone contacts, your credit card receipts, film you've taken, drafts of documents you're writing, and anything else that you store electronically: which, these days, when it comes to privacy, means basically everything of worth.
This government abuse has received some recent attention in the context of WikiLeaks. Over the past couple of years, any American remotely associated with that group -- or even those who have advocated on behalf of Bradley Manning -- have been detained at the airport and had their laptops, cellphones and cameras seized: sometimes for months, sometimes forever. But this practice usually targets people having nothing to do with WikiLeaks

Biomechanical force displacement analysis of strength of fixation of tracker holding devices to bone in computer aided joint replacement
Deep, Kamal, Donnelly, William J., Morar, Y., Ward, Nicola, Tevelen, Gregory A., Dunster, Kimble, & Crawford, Ross (2006) Biomechanical force displacement analysis of strength of fixation of tracker holding devices to bone in computer aided joint replacement. In Scott, James (Ed.) Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Orthopaedic Proceedings, British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery, London, Heathrow , p. 439.
Computer aided joint replacement surgery has become very popular during recent years and is being done in increasing numbers all over the world. The accuracy of the system depends to a major extent, on accurate registration and immobility of the tracker attachment devices to the bone. This study was designed to asses the forces needed to displace the tracker attachment devices in the bone simulators.
Bone simulators were used to maintain the uniformity of the bone structure during the study. The fixation devices tested were 3mm diameter self drilling, self tapping threaded pin, 4mm diameter self tapping cortical threaded pin, 5mm diameter self tapping cancellous threaded pin and a triplanar fixation device 'ortholock' used with three 3mm pins. All the devices were tested for pull out, translational and rotational forces in unicortical and bicortical fixation modes. Also tested was the normal bang strength and forces generated by leaning on the devices.
The forces required to produce translation increased with the increasing diameter of the pins. These were 105N, 185N, and 225N for the unicortical fixations and 130N, 200N, 225N for the bicortical fixations for 3mm, 4mm and 5mm diameter pins respectively. The forces required to pull out the pins were 1475N, 1650N, 2050N for the unicortical, 1020N, 3044N and 3042N for the bicortical fixated 3mm, 4mm and 5mm diameter pins. The ortholock translational and pull out strength was tested to 900N and 920N respectively and still it did not fail. Rotatory forces required to displace the tracker on pins was to the magnitude of 30N before failure. The ortholock device had rotational forces applied up to 135N and still did not fail. The manual leaning forces and the sudden bang forces generated were of the magnitude of 210N and 150N respectively.
The strength of the fixation pins increases with increasing diameter from three to five mm for the translational forces. There is no significant difference in pull out forces of four mm and five mm diameter pins though it is more that the three mm diameter pins. This is because of the failure of material at that stage rather than the fixation device. The rotatory forces required to displace the tracker are very small and much less that that can be produced by the surgeon or assistants in single pins. Although the ortholock device was tested to 135N in rotation without failing, one has to be very careful not to put any forces during the operation on the tracker devices to ensure the accuracy of the procedure.

Reliance Industries (Mumbai, India) is likely to participate in the forthcoming auction of frequencies that were previously awarded in 2008 but seized by authorities earlier this year, according to a story in India's Economic Times newspaper.
The company already owns spectrum through its Infotel Broadband subsidiary, but it is not allowed to provide voice services over those frequencies.
According to an unnamed source of the newspaper, representatives of Infotel Broadband have been attending meetings organized by the Department of Telecommunications about the spectrum auction.
The same source is reported to have said that Reliance is most likely to bid directly but might decide to fund a spectrum purchase by another company before acquiring that company.
Reliance bought Infotel Broadband on the same day the company won pan-India licenses to provide wireless broadband services.
A company spokesman declined to comment on the issue, according to the Economic Times, but Reliance would be in a strong position to make a bid, with 70,732 crore rupees ($13 billion) in cash at the end of June.
An acquisition would also allow it to offer both voice and data services to customers and compete alongside India's best-known mobile-phone brands.
India's government intends to auction airwaves in the 1800MHz and 800MHz frequency bands from November 12.
The spectrum was previously awarded in 2008, but authorities cancelled licenses earlier this year after finding there had been irregularities in the auction process.
Companies that had their licenses revoked – including Uninor, controlled by Telenor (Oslo, Norway) – are expected to bid for the spectrum they lost in the new auction.
According to the rules of the forthcoming auction, new entrants will have to pay a minimum of 14,000 crore rupees for pan-India services in the 1800MHz band, and a minimum of 9,100 crore rupees for pan-India services in the 800MHz band.
New entrants competing for 1800MHz spectrum will have to bid for at least four 1.25MHz blocks in each service area, while those chasing 800MHz frequencies must bid for at least two blocks of 1.25MHz in each service area.

Will (Ludwig) is informed by a pair of eccentric aristocrats (McShane and Conroy) that he is the descendant of an ancient warrior order, and must defeat a great evil. Cue much po-faced gobbledegook, but little excitement.
It would take MASSIVE powers of restraint not to be suspicious of the motive behind this tardy adaptation of Susan Cooper's teen-lit novel, as it looks very much like a quest for box-office gold riding on the wide hem of Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
Following Potter, Narnia, and even smaller-scale successes like Bridge To Terabithia, making fantastical children's entertainment seems a recipe to print money in Tinseltown; it appears hard to write a fantasy novel without immediately having it optioned for the screen. On the other hand, Cooper's inventive, imaginative books, first published in the 1960s, have been crying out for a sympathetic film version for decades. On the evidence here, they will be crying for a good while longer.
It's not just that the story - a callow youth discovers he is the last in the line of an ancient order charged with saving the world from the forces of darkness - is achingly familiar, but more that in the hands of writer John Hodge and director David L. Cunningham it is bland, unengaging and tiresomely predictable. Considering that the books, according to their dedicated fans and any number of critics, are possessed of a depth of feeling and an understanding of the adolescent soul that leaves the Hogwarts crew standing, this is unforgiveable.
Where does the blame lie? Cunningham's CV might boast little more than a Kiefer Sutherland POW drama, but Hodge's feel for adaptation has clearly gone downhill since Trainspotting - even since The Beach, for that matter. Because where Cooper's books interlace echoes of Arthurian legend and the folktales of their Chilterns setting to create a strong sense of place and purpose, The Dark Is Rising builds its threadbare mysticism on scenes and characters lifted wholesale from both the Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings film franchises.
As with Potter, LOTR and Star Wars (and even the Arthurian legends themselves), the plot rests on the mythology of the boy warrior. As embodied by Alexander Ludwig - who plays Will Stanton, the seventh son of a seventh son, heir to the legacy of the Old Ones and mankind's frontline defence against The Darkness - it's an iconic figure reduced to the status of a spoddy schoolkid you wouldn't trust to defend your garden against an infestation of crab grass, let alone evil mall security guards or malicious grannies. The books' Will, a serious boy with a healthy respect for the terrifying world in which he finds himself, is replaced by the sort of kid who says "Awesome!" a lot, and wields magic like a water pistol.
Eccleston's back in bad guy mode, sneering and glowering his way through the action, while McShane takes another whimsical break from his more usual (these days) Deadwood hardasses. But even with the slick production and flashy effects, it's just not enough. No-one can deny that the bar for this stripe of pubescent, Manichaean fantasy has been set precipitously high in the last half-decade, but even with the leg-up Cooper's source material provides, Rising barely gets off the ground.
Off-the-shelf teen fantasy not likely to satisfy the post-Potter/LOTR crowd but guaranteed to enrage fans of the source novel. The newly added quasi-religious overtones dont help either.

Congress: Reform the Military Justice System
Stand with Senator Gillibrand in support of the Military Justice Improvement Act to ensure victims' voices are heard.
In 2012 alone, it's estimated that there were 26,000 unwanted sexual contacts, assaults and rapes throughout the U.S. military. But of those, only 3,374 were reported. Victims tell us time and again that they don't report because the decisionmaking authority lies within his or her chain of command.
No victim of sexual assault should be forced to salute their attacker.
Join the fight to reform the military justice system today.

In so far as it's good for a play to leave you in need of purgation, Luke Owen's debut is a cracker and has won him the Finborough's Papatango New Writing Prize. But the subject matter of the play soils you all the same: child porn. Mercifully the porn is viewed through the eyes of a digital analyst who tracks child abuse online for the police. Owen's gift is for writing highly naturalistic dialogue sodden with the familiarities of 'mate' and 'buddy'. His theme meanwhile is about having to view child porn, how it desensitises all involved and poisons their lives.
Owen's thesis is not terribly surprising and, for all the play's sureness of intention it is, in the end, a rather conventional issue based drama offering no answers and holding no great metaphorical significance about society at large. Instead, Justin Audibert's admirably crafted production is grounded squarely in the characters' monotonous reality. In keeping with this, Georgia Lowe's ingenious traverse set design is fitted with secret lights and cupboards buried beneath a grid of office carpet tiles: an environment wholly antithetical to the joy of life.
The acting meanwhile is immaculately naturalistic with John Hodgkinson as a gentle giant who is holding down his day job of planning rendezvous with Wagon Wheel biscuits and cups of tea, while building model aircrafts at night. George Turvey is, in turn, a blissfully institutionalised and chummy boss. But the play's main man is Ronan Raftery: an idealistic IT consultant who is a living oxymoron. He thinks he can handle the porn, but finds that his work throws up an invisible wall between him and Eleanor Wyld – cast as the feisty girly he meets speed dating. Subtle and commendable as play and acting are, they are overpowered by the toxic subject.

Watch: Leonard Bernstein's Predictably Great Harvard Lectures...
In 1972, the composer Leonard Bernstein returned to Harvard, his alma mater, to serve as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, with "Poetry" being defined in the broadest sense. The position, first created in 1925, asks faculty members to live on campus, advise students, and most importantly, deliver a series of six public lectures. T.S. Eliot, Aaron Copland, W.H. Auden, e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, Jorge Luis Borges — they all previously took part in this tradition. And Bernstein did too.

Keeping a weblog like this, one is faced with a near-continuous, and, it seems, ever-increasing flow of comment-spam. It can be dispiriting, and on occasion I feel like a beleaguered citizen of that underground city in the Matrix movies, only without the assurance of having Keanu Reeves on my side, desperately contending with a mechanised yet seemingly intelligent spambot assault with only a sketchy knowledge of the relevant technical whatnots to help me. On the other hand, I also sometimes admire the spammers' resourcefulness and cunning. Alert and tireless as mosquitoes in a dark room in which we are trying to sleep, they buzz annoyingly past our ears and effortlessly evade our clumsy attempts to swat them. Of course, it is easier to admire the marvel of a parasite's specialised physiology when it is not biting us, so I have very belatedly taken a few first steps to spamguard this site.
To my mind the most impressive (and, at the same time, the most repulsive) manifestation of this phenomenon are the cascades of porno-spam that intermittently swamp the comments here, that, if they were real SPAM®, of the kind that comes in a can, would be an unnaturally bright shade of pink, and would smell decidedly 'off'. These comments' unnerving titles and descriptions allude to interests and practices that vary from the impossibly specialized to the downright illegal. These are texts that bring to mind both the combinatorial methods of the OuLiPo and the compulsion-to-shock of a young Apollinaire or Bataille. From the latest such accumulation to fall on these pages, the commenter-name 'Hovercraft Scat' stood out as being exemplary in this regard: pseudo-random combinatorializing with a truly surreal effect. I'm not at all sure, though, that I feel grateful for such thoughts & mental images as these that never would have occurred to me otherwise.
I'd prefer to maintain at least the illusion of a dialogue here, and would be unhappy if the spam problem ever became bad enough that I would feel obliged to disable comments, as many have already done, or even to impede them by way of some kind of registration or approval mechanism. Thinking about it, I would say that it is even in the spammers' best interests to moderate their actions, as a healthy and sustainable population of comment-friendly 'host' weblogs is their best guarantee of sustaining their own parasitic activities. I'd say that we should be worried if ever these bloodsuckers stop trying to bite us.
I must not omit to mention that these unsolicited comments are in no way connected with the fine food products pictured: I lifted the images from this page at the Hormel Foods site, and beg that company's pardon for discussing unsolicited comments in proximity with images of their excellent canned meats.Posted by misteraitch at December 7, 2004 12:11 PM | TrackBack

I appreciate your sentiment on spam. While sometimes amusing, it is nevertheless too disruptive, too boring, too annoying to even elicit a mild positive response.
In the ecology of the Internet, spam could be consider a bacteria, that while impossible to evict, has to be limited and curtailed, lest its effects bring down, among other things, comments in blogs.
Which, to my understanding, are among blogs' most important characteristics.
I admit the first time it happened to me I was quite amused by the incredible imaginative (!) porn titles and commenter's names. Now it's just getting annoying...
I'd rather have a bunch of vikings singing it to me:-)

Seth Meyers Sells L.A. Pied A Terre for $430,000
Now that Seth Meyers is taking over Jimmy Fallon's Late Night desk in NYC, he won't need a place to hang his hat on the West Coast anytime soon.
So he and his new wife sold their West Hollywood pied a terre for a not-too-shabby $430,000, CB! has learned.
According to property records, the newly-minted Mr. and Mrs. Meyers, who tied the knot on Martha's Vineyard last September, got the perfect wedding gift when they unloaded the 1-bedroom pad in October at a slight loss (The SNL star's lawyer other half, Alexi Ashe, bought the digs in 2006 for $500K).
Located in one of the most historic buildings in WeHo, the top floor Spanish spread looks out over a charming courtyard setting and comes with a plethora of 1920s vintage accents — 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, cozy fireplace, and it's just a hop, skip and a jump from Sunset Boulevard.
Coming in at a teeny 700 square feet, it seems the couple doesn't mind tight quarters, considering they put their newly-acquired cash to good use by plunking down $3.525 million on a 990 square foot Big Apple abode just last month.

The high-priced property is in the trendy West Village nabe.

And has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, hardwood floors and, according to the listing, "immense closets." The Manhattan skyline views are pretty nice, too.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JA, the factory spec for battery draw is .050 mA or 50 miliamps, the first question I have is there any aftermarket accessories installed? Radio, guages, alarm, remote start?
There is an aftermarket radio, that is the only aftermarket add-on.
The radio was installed before we purchased the car 2 years ago.
This problem started about a 6 weeks ago.
Sorry for the delay...this problem apparently comes and goes. I have tried to see excessive amp draw on the battery and apparently it is not occurring now. I took the car to Auto Zone yesterday and had the electrical system tested. They confirmed the battery and alternator are functioning properly. I explained what has been happening, and mentioned that I had heard that possibly the voltage regulator could be sticking and draining down the battery, and he confirmed that was a possibilty. I put a meter on the battery last night after running the car for a few minutes and saw the battery voltage drop from 12.72 volts to about 12.62 volts after monitoring for about an hour and a half. It stabilized and there was no further drain on the battery. The car started with no problem this morning. I plan to continue driving and testing the car for a couple more days and see if I can get the problem to re-occur. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to accelerate the possible re-occurrance of this problem? How could I test and confirm that the voltage regulator is not occasionally sticking? How can I confirm that the AC clutch is not occasionally stuck on? The aftermarket radio is definitely not the issue...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I would like to figure it out properly, but I have been driving the vehicle for several days now with no further problem. The problem may come back at a later date, but for now it seems to be OK. In the event it does return I will reach back out to you. Thanks for your help.

Status of soybean rust
In last week's sentinel plot teleconference, no new detections of soybean rust were reported in the South. Extensive survey and monitoring efforts have been carried out on soybean and kudzu plants and results suggest that the disease is still limited to Florida and southern Georgia. Computer models continue to show decreased northward movement of spores produced now in Florida compared with late April and early May.
Disease outlook
The observed development of soybean rust is slower than most people expected. However, it is too early to say the risk of having epidemics of this disease in the U.S. soybean production regions is diminished. The northern region is still within the window of having some outbreaks in the summer if new development of the disease is found during June in southern states. However, the risk is decreasing as the season is approaching July if no new development is found in Gulf Coast states (excluding Florida) and the Delta states. The key months for development of soybean rust in northern states are July and August.
If widespread outbreaks of the disease occur in the South before late July, Iowa is likely to see the disease in August, with level of severity depending on the weather that month.
The latest climate outlook by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows an above-average temperature trend in the South for the months of June, July, and August, which is good news because high temperatures slow rust development. NOAA's outlook also shows a below-average precipitation trend for June, which should not be a concern since the disease may not reach these regions yet.

Clear, concise, and accessible are the three words most often used to describe the prose of Mark Levine. He is expert at making complex information and abstract concepts approachable for a general readership, and developing book structures that best convey that information. Levine is known for his ability to deliver extraordinarily clean manuscripts under the tightest of deadlines.
His calm demeanor and consummate professionalism have allowed him to successfully collaborate with personalities as varied as a hard driving former Green Beret, a tranquil Episcopal priest, a systematic Wall Street executive, a streetwise Park Avenue lawyer, a peripatetic Madison Avenue creative director, an intense New York investment banker, and an emotive Midwestern motivational speaker, among others.
While he has written on subjects as diverse as leadership, business, marketing, personal finance, career planning, and spirituality, Levine is one of those rare writers who have the ability to write hybrid works which bridge genres, whether leadership guide/memoir, self help/business, or career/personal finance.
Levine has collaborated on nearly 30 published books, including the best sellers Second Acts, Die Broke, Live Rich and Lifescripts. Besides shepherding projects from proposal through final text, Levine has also done book doctoring and manuscript editing for projects in various stages of development.
He has also been a contributing editor to Worth and a columnist for Men's Health and Working Woman. He is also the author of hundreds of magazine articles, three of which were nominated for the American Society of Magazine Editor's National Magazine Awards. As editor-in-chief and treasurer of Third Millennium Press, Inc., a book packaging firm, Levine produced 17 books for major publishers. He has taught magazine writing at Cornell University and has been a guest lecturer at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Journalism. He is a member of the Authors Guild.

Welcome to Aquila bulk strings
Our company produces strings in huge quantities according to industrial criteria, in form of standard of 2,000 strings per bundle having all the same diameter.
All this was made possible thanks to our three extruder plants with laser checkers for the final gauge and roundness on all of our products.
Capacity: 300,000 single ukulele strings per day; 100,000 single guitar strings per day
These are our standard products:
New! Aquila SUPERNYLGUT®
January 2014: We are proud to launch the upgraded, ultimate version of our famous white Nylgut® strings.
The SUPERNYLGUT® ukulele string have a charming natural pearl color instead the old milky white one and a very very smooth and polished surface feels like wax. They are also pretty pliable but less stretchy than any previous Nylgut® version , this resulting in a faster setting to proper tune when new and in a tendency of easily maintaining the intonation when reached.
This help to do the tuning operation faster dropping the general production costs
On top of this, Supernylgut is stronger and does not suffer from eventually sharp edges of the nuts, marks from frets or hard nail playing. And you can get all these upgrades together with the wonderful richness of tone which made our Nylgut® a success. Suitable for Ukulele & Guitar
SUPERNYLGUT® strings will replace, step-by step- the traditional white Aquila strings
Aquila NEW NYLGUT®
The New Nylgut® is the first product developed and patented by Aquila.
The New Nylgut® is nor common Nylon or Carbon (Fluocarbon fishing line or PVDF), or a mix of them. It is a plastic compound of three different components
Compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune better, this because the moisture absorption is less of .1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings (i.e. Du Pont Tynex® polyammide 6-12).
Due to the higher density, similar to that of pure gut (1.30 gr/cm3), the New Nylgut® produces a better sound than Nylon and it is not so metallic like those of the so- called 'Carbon' (Fluorocarbon) PVDF strings.
In other words, the New Nylgut® is probably the first genuine syntetic gut in the world.
The New Nylgut® assures:
1) a better sound than Nylon or PVDF, similar to the genuine gut strings
2) a more accurated fret-intonation due to the well gauged material
3) a very stable intonation under moisture changes
Colour: white
To learn more: www.geocities.co.jp/HeartLand-Himawari/9169/genkonjaku3_E.html
Aquila BIONYLON®
Bionylon® is a musical polyamide developed recently by us and extruded at our headquarter.
It is a 100% a natural plant's derivate (castor oil). This assure less of 50% carbon dioxide emission during the production.
The moisture absorption is very low, comparable to those of PA 6-12 (the common classical guitar's Nylon). The performances are excellents.
Ukulele strings: vegetal green colour
Guitar strings: natural pearl colour.
Bionylon® strings are the first eco-friendly musical strings in the world!
Aquila THUNDERGUT® strings
(elastic plastic with superior characteristics compared to the common black polyurethane and silicone rubber strings)
Thundergut® is a special very elastic and dense material developed by us in our headquarter that assure superior performances over the common polyuretane and silicon rubber bass strings available in the market.
Thundergut® assure fast and stable intonation; no sweet finger's slip on the strings.
Suitable for Bass ukuleles.
Color: Brown-yellow.
Advice: these strings are designed for 18 till 21 inch scale only! If the scale is longher please contact us.
Aquila RED SERIES® strings (the first alternative to the metal wound strings)
Who never dreamed of tuning the ukulele in low G, without expensive and fast rusty metal wound strings?
Wound strings shows problems that on ukulele are very considered:
- shorter lifetime than the treble strings
- sound power too bright and intrusive compared to the plastic treble strings
- excessive sustain
- noise caused by the fingers of the left hand
- rapid oxidation of the metal wire during the storage & after a certain time
We are happy to announce that the unwound fourth strings now finally exist. From now, you will finally be able to install ukulele in Low G ensuring sound power,sound quality and intonation on frets fully integrated with that of the upper treble strings.
Granted: no oxidation of the metal wire in case of acid sweat!
- Color: red-brown
- Surface: slightly rough; this texture has eliminated the squeak that sometime hapen with the Nylguts.
- Elasticity/Elongation: like Nylgut & Supernylgut strings
- Performances: They do not breacks under stretching. fast and stable tuning
- Intonation: accurate past the 12th fret
- Pressing strongly the string on the frets, the note does not became sharper
- It is not necessary to file the nut slot wider to accommodate it like hapen with the fluocarbon G strings
Aquila SILKGUT®
We can define Silkgut® like a cousin of the New Nylgut®.
The difference between New Nylgut® and Silkgut® is that the Silkgut® is a bit stiffer than New Nylgut®.
In other therms it last longer under the finger nails of guitar- players.
Silkgut® is suitable for classical guitar Trebles and modern Harp's strings.
Colour: silked.

Eaton's Unrein shrine grows with recent presentation
February 14, 2013
» Packing on the pounds
Mitch Unrein has come a long way since his days in Eaton. While playing football and wrestling for the Reds, Unrein said he never weighed more than 205 pounds, even winning the 220-pound heavyweight title for the Reds his senior year. His former football coach Bill Mondt has watched his former standout defensive lineman grow — both physically and mentally into a professional football player who just won't stop working. Here's a closer look at Unrein throwing around his weight from the mouth of Mondt:
… "There aren't too many kids anymore who really enjoy contact. He does. He likes to hit people, and he enjoyed it."
… "Wyoming did (recruit him), and proved that they were right."
3 05
… "It's not just getting big and strong, he's getting good."
Tyler Silvy
E a ton — It's just a game. Those comforting words came courtesy of Mitch Unrein on Thursday shortly after he presented Eaton Athletic Director Steve Longwell with his signed Denver Broncos jersey to be displayed in a shadowbox outside the Eaton High School gymnsasium.
Unrein was responding to a question about the seemingly symetrical endings of the Broncos' and Reds' football seasons. Both went into their final games riding 11-game winning streaks but fell short of expectations with early playoff exits.
"I don't have anything too insightful to say," Unrein said. "Just don't think it's the end of the world. It's just another game. It's a sport. It's a game that you play. You can't take it too seriously."
Unrein has gotten some serious love as one of Eaton's favorite sons because of the way he plays that game. After a stellar prep career, he went to the University of Wyoming before catching on with the Denver Broncos for the past three seasons. Unrein rarely misses an opportunity to come back to Eaton.
"During the bye week, he was out at practice, working with our defensive line," Eaton football coach Bill Mondt said.
Thursday wasn't much work for Unrein, who stood on the wrestling mat before the Eaton-Valley dual flanked by his former wrestling coach Rich Urano and Mondt.
The coaches praised Unrein's work ethic and his passion for his hometown before handing the microphone to Unrein.
"Just trying to keep them focused on what they're doing, and know that they can achieve anything they want to achieve," Unrein said afterward.
Unrein's block-shedding lessons pale in comparison to the lesson his very existence imparts.
"I think it's awesome," said Unrein, responding to how it felt to come back as often as he does. "There's not too many stories of kids from small schools making it all the way to the NFL. For me to come back and shed some light on what they're doing and be like, 'Hey, you might think you come from a small town and you can't do big things, well guess what? You can."
Mondt had a front-row viewing experience of Unrein's can-do attitude during high school.
"I think it's a great example," Mondt said. "We talk to kids all the time — to everybody — that if you do the hard work and make the sacrifices. … It just depends on where your priorities are. Obviously, Mitch's priorities were that."
"That" would refer to the NFL, and although Mondt said he never thought much about the NFL when he thought of Unrein's future, Mondt said he knew Unrein would be a good college player. Part of his reasoning was Unrein's attitude in high school.
"He intimidated kids," Mondt said. "We had a couple kids quit in practice because he hit them. Hard. He's a tough kid. When football starts, he gets after it, boy. There aren't too many kids any more who really enjoy contact. He does. He likes to hit people, and he enjoyed it."
Unrein definitely enjoys contact when it comes to keeping in touch with his Eaton roots. He calls it an honor to be looked up to the way he is now.
"This honor means so much to me," Unrein said. "I never thought, coming from Eaton High School, that I would have this opportunity to speak in front of these kids and just being a Denver Bronco and playing in the NFL."

John's name is not one of the 24 written up on two giant whiteboards in the CAT team's meeting room on the second floor of the Alfred Hospital's psychiatric unit. The names listed, accompanied by brief diagnoses and details of discharge date, are the team's present clientele. The letters "EDM" appear next to many names. It means "early discharge management", a system by which patients are intentionally discharged when they still have some symptoms of their illness. They are then treated with regular CAT team visits – some several times a day, some daily, or every two days, as they improve.
Bayliss knocks gingerly on John's door. The two nurses enter the smoky room, to find a sad and dishevelled looking man in his 30s sitting on an unmade bed, its grubby sheets stained with fresh blood. With a trembling hand, he pulls up a sleeve to show the "I still feel like hurting myself," he says softly, dragging deeply on his cigarette. "I've got a razor. I keep looking at it, picking it up."
"But you've been good, haven't you," says Bayliss gently.
"You said you were coming to see me," he replies. "The voices" yell out, he explains, when he's depressed , and he hasn't eaten for two days. "I can't cope. I'll hurt myself if I stay here tonight." As he has been speaking, his knees have begun shaking.
Bayliss and her colleague leave the room to confer. A few minutes later John, with his small green garbage bag of belongings, is in the back seat of their car, heading for one of the Alfred's 50 acute psychiatric beds. Meanwhile back at the psychiatric unit, Blair Hobbs is one of two CAT team members on telephone "triage" – sorting out all the calls into "urgent" and "less urgent".
He is called to the emergency department to assess a man who had "He was saying he wanted to be admitted, but we're working out ways of treating him in the community and then hospitalising when a bed becomes available," he says.
The man is not psychotic, Hobbs explains. He has been booked into detox in two days' time, so that the team will be able to see which of his symptoms are due to alcohol and which are depression.
On one occasion, Hobbs and a partner found themselves backing down a dark staircase, dodging punches being thrown by a man who had been displaying psychotic symptoms – hearing voices and having paranoid thoughts.
"We were in the kitchen doing the interview and he suddenly changed from being subdued to hostile. He walked over to the fridge, got out a glass bottle and threatened to smash it over my head," Hobbs says. "We're always aware of the potential risks."

Patterns of fitting cosmetically tinted contact lenses
Morgan, Philip B. & Efron, Nathan (2009) Patterns of fitting cosmetically tinted contact lenses. Contact Lens & Anterior Eye, 32(5), pp. 207-208.
Cosmetically tinted soft contact lenses are an attractive option for contact lens wearers. Data that we have gathered from annual contact lens fitting surveys demonstrate that those wearing tinted lenses are more likely to be female (4.6% of all soft lenses fitted vs. 1.6% for males; p < 0.0001) and younger (27 11 years vs. 33 13 years for those wearing non-tinted lenses; p < 0.0001). Tinted lenses tend to be worn more on a part-time basis and are replaced less frequently than non-tinted lenses. The decline in fitting tinted lenses over the past 12 years may be due to (a) the current limited availability of tinted lenses in silicone hydrogel materials and daily disposable replacement frequencies, which together represent a significant majority (78%) of new soft lenses fits today, (b) growing concerns among lens wearers and practitioners relating to the risks of complications associated with the wearing of tinted lenses, and (c) reduced promotion of such lenses by the contact lens industry.

We are continuing to test new compliance program, Real Time EITC Preparer treatment. We call it real time because we look at returns as they come in during the filing season and apply one of our compliance approaches immediately after we identify a high likelihood of EITC error. We ran a very small pilot during the 2012 filing season and are expanding the program for the 2013-filing season.
Pre-filing season
*We will mail out our warning letters to preparers we identify as having a high likelihood of EITC errors for 2011 tax year returns between October 29th and December 3rd. Find an example of the letter, Letter 4833 here. (The letter is in Adobe format. If you don't have a current version of Adobe Reader, download a free copy of adobe reader here.)
Filing Season (January to mid-February)
Real-time due diligence audits have some differences from our standard due diligence audits. At these real-time due diligence audits, we are looking at the preparer's compliance with the four due diligence requirements listed in Regulation 1.6695-2 like other due diligence audit programs, but there are some differences:

Weird Question - may not neccesarily be to do woth m0n0wall, but would
GREATLY appreciate any help!
I have searched the mailing list, but no seems to have exactly what we do.
We have multiple external ip addresses and websites, and our setup as is
internet -- router -- mono1 192.168.11.1/24 --packetcshaper -- LAN1
(192.168.11.10) SME ServerA (10.0.0.10) --- LAN2 -- (10.0.0.5) Exchange Mail
(192.168.11.10) mono2 (10.0.0.1) --- LAN2
(192.168.11.50) SME ServerB
(192.168.11.55) IIS Web Server
I have set up mono1 rules/nat/proxy arp so incoming traffic from the
internet (http, smtp, vpn etc) all works fine.
I have set up mono1 as a DNS forwarder with www.a.b.c <http://www.a.b.c>
for websites on the SME ServerB and IIS Web Server so anything that is
behind mono1 can access them.
Our email comes through mono1, gets nat'd to SME Server A, which then passes
it onto Exchange Mail Server - this works perfectly.
The Problem:
SME Server B has it's own smtp server and sends out alerts to firstname.lastname@example.com
<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> - these emails never get to Exchange mail Server.
If we set the alerts to go to another completely external domain (yahoo,

psycho babble telegrams
de Vid Taylor
Acerca del libro
Vid Taylor's first collection of art and poetry inspired and derived from the daily New York Times. What started out as a certain type of personal art therapy has grown into a body of work that begs to be perused and pondered during multiple settings. The work itself is multifaceted and begs the viewer to return time and time again where fresh and deeper meanings and perspectives are often granted. Vid Taylor;s process begins with a simple reading of the daily New York Times - and quickly devolves into a frenzy of paper ripping and word grabbing - through this maelstrom poems and images are formed from the material the New York Times provides him. In Vid Taylor's own words - Psycho Babble Telegrams is simply an exploration of pretty pictures and ugly words. The work is often dark and whimsical - and the written word is not for the feint of heart. Should you choose to indulge - please peruse responsibly.

Miyamoto has already removed as much story as possible from recent Nintendo games. If you remove the challenge too, there's no substance left in the game.

- Square CEO: "Our Merger With Enix Was A Total Failure":
Enix was primarily a publisher, not a developer (Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile were developed by Tri-Ace). The merger mostly just brought Square the Dragon Quest name. However, the Dragon Quest series has long clung to its retro roots, and has had problems reinventing itself for modern gamers (see DQ 9&10), though personally I think they nailed it with 8. Similarly, Square can't seem to figure out what direction to take the Final Fantasy series in (see every Final Fantasy game since 10). …

Douglas Gives Reporters One Last 'Dog And Pony' Show
12/23/10 7:34AM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
(Host) Governor Jim Douglas held the final press conference of his gubernatorial career yesterday afternoon.
And as VPR's Bob Kinzel reports, the governor had a surprise for members of the Capital press corps.
(Kinzel) Douglas asked reporters to meet him outside his state office building to begin his last press conference - but he didn't indicate why.
Over the past 8 years, the governor began many of his press conferences by highlighting the work of different community groups or special local projects. It's a tradition known as a "dog and pony" show. Douglas acknowledged it's a practice he often used.
(Douglas) "During each of these dog and pony shows, as some have referred to them, as you've listened patiently you've asked probing questions and occasionally done a story. So if you'll bear with me for just a moment I have something special for you."
(Kinzel) Douglas then walked to a loading dock on the side of the building and a large gray door began to open.
(Door opening)
(Kinzel) When the door was fully open, a pony named Iroc and a dog named Annie greeted the governor.
(Douglas) "To show to all of you that we will end this tenure with a literal dog and pony show ( laughter )... Certainly better behaved than the Legislature!"
(more laughter)
(Kinzel) Douglas then led the press corps inside and encouraged them to join him in his daily climb up five flights of stairs to his office:
(Climbing stairs)
(Kinzel) At the large wooden table in his conference room, Douglas reflected on the work of the press during his four terms in office.
(Douglas) "I've tried to answer every one of your questions fully, except for the ones I didn't want to. I never got mad except once. But I want to thank you and your predecessors for your dedication to your profession and to the people of our state."
(Kinzel) What will Douglas miss the most about leaving office?
(Douglas) "Interacting with Vermonters...folks I've met in every corner of our state who are doing great things, bettering the lives of themselves and their families, of their communities, making a real contribution to Vermont's future."
(Kinzel) Douglas's press secretary David Coriell signaled the end of the news conference and Douglas urged reporters to sample a beverage that had been placed on the table.
(Coriell) "Alright we've got to wrap it up...
(Douglas)"Well thank you all, thanks for the gifts and drink the Kool Aid - come on, just once."
For VPR News, I'm Bob Kinzel in Montpelier.

Harmonica Frank Floyd
|blues harp blues rhythm and blues hear kings of the blues harmonica city under 2000 listeners
|1990s 2000s
11 October 1908, Toccopola, Mississippi, USA, d. 7 August 1984, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. Having spent many of his earlier years travelling the southern states of the USA, playing in carnivals and street shows, Floyd, aka Harmonica Frank, developed a solo guitar and harmonica style much influenced by black country blues. This led to his first recordings - made by Sam Phillips in Memphis in 1951 - being issued on the Chess Records label, at that time orientated entirely towards a black audience. These, along with later recordings that Phillips issued in 1954 on his own Sun Records label, in particular Rocking Chair Daddy, stand as direct precursors to the first Elvis Presley records, also on Sun, in their mixture of white and black styles, although Floyd enjoyed no similar commercial success. In the late 50s, he recorded again for a self-owned label, and there was also an album for Barrelhouse in 1975 and some interesting live recordings made in 1979...

Jennifer Rubin's Zany Benghazi Angle To Filibuster Reform
Washington Post political blogger Jennifer Rubin is, like most pundits sympathetic to the Republican cause, upset [1] over the move by Democrats to change Senate rules [2] so that judicial and executive branch nominees will no longer have to face down a filibuster in order to get a confirmation vote. "It's a bad way to run the country," Rubin writes. But at the same time she is wistful for what might have been had the filibuster been done away with long ago, and what the nation might have discovered about... Benghazi?
Rubin writes:
If only. . .
The president cared as much about Iran's nuclear option as he does the Senate's.
The nuclear option was in place for superbly qualified Republican-nominated judges like Miguel Estrada whom the Democrats filibustered.
The nuclear option had prevented Sen. Barack Obama from blocking the confirmation of John Bolton as United Nations Ambassador in 2005.
The nuclear option had removed fear of a filibuster and allowed Susan Rice to get nominated as secretary of state so then she could have been questioned about Benghazi.
This is a perplexing hypothetical. At the time Susan Rice's name was being thrown around as a potential nominee for Secretary of State, there were few people in the media who opposed the idea more than Jennifer Rubin. "From my perspective, it makes no sense to have a three-ring confirmation hearing and lose over a subpar nominee such as Rice," Rubin wrote [3] on December 4, 2012. When Rice asked that her name be withdrawn from consideration for the position, Rubin wrote [4]: "To be frank, she should never have been floated as a possible nominee."
But now she's shifted to wishing Rice -- a nominee she considered wholly unqualified for one of the most senior position in government -- had been nominated. Why? To answer questions about Benghazi.
This is also fairly confusing. Susan Rice had nothing to do with the attacks in Benghazi. She came under fire [5] from conservatives for her series of Sunday talk show appearances in which she adhered to administration talking points on the Benghazi attacks -- talking points that were drafted and approved [6] by the intelligence community. Rice had no input whatsoever [7] into the crafting of the administration's response. It's not clear what we'd learn from the questioning Rubin pines for.
But really nothing about this makes much sense. It's just another example of how for conservative pundits, all roads lead back to Benghazi.

'Who will win the Bigg Boss 7 finale tonight?' is one question the social media is ablaze with. Gauhar, sangram, Tanisha or Ajaz, who will take the Bigg Boss 7 trophy home?
As the most controversial Indian reality show is hours away from its grand finale, speculations are getting higher and higher. To add to all the masala, VJ Andy's sudden mid-week eviction has left everyone in complete shock. The cute and true to his heart contestant Andy was declared the winner by many.; even Armaan Kohli had said last week that Andy deserves to win this season. But as luck would have it, the nautanki contestant couldn't make his stay till the finale.
So who are you betting on now? Who will win this season of the baap of all reality shows? Let's analyse!
Gauhar Khan: A model turned actress, Gauhar Khan is not an unknown name today. She has done a few Bollywood movies earlier, and has won critical appreciation for her roles in 'Rocket Singh-Salesman Of The Year' and 'Ishaqzaade'. Before participating in the seventh season of Bigg Boss, she had participated in 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 3' and had her own show, 'The Khan Sisters' too.
A perfect example of beauty with brain, Gauhar has played the game with dignity. She is emotionally strong and knows how to seize all the limelight. She is considered to be the strongest contestant today as she has been providing all the masala needed to record high TRP.
However, her walkout from the show on Day 43 with Kushal Tondon may pose some dent. People may not vote for her considering the drama queen has spent lesser days in the show than her strong opponents.
Tanisha Mukherjee: Sister of immensely popular and talented actress, Kajol, Tanisha's Bollywood stint could never take a flying start. Her debut movie, 'Sssshhh…', was a box-office failure and so were her other movies. Though her love relationship with Uday Chopra got her a solo big-budgeted movie, 'Neil n Nikki', it wasn't a success either.
So after so many years, Tanisha took part in Bigg Boss to revive her career and look where she is! Carrying herself with dignity throughout the season, this girl has managed not to traduce her famous Bollywood family. Even the host of Bigg Boss, our very own Salman Khan was seen favoring her at numerable places. Her romance with co-contestant Armaan Kohli secured her all through the season and, hence, she made it to the finals. She now has a very strong chance of taking the prize money home.
Sangram Singh: The respected wrestler, Sangram Singh, who was not a household name earlier, had entered the Bigg Boss house with the only intention to take his sport to a new level. Honest to the core, Sangram has always maintained a cordinal relation with other housemates. Even our very own Sallu Bhai has appreciated him for the same.
However, the acclaimed athlete is mostly seen playing safe. He has skipped away from places where he had to take a stand and has been widely criticized for the same. In an episode, he was seen sharing the same with Andy, saying he is here just to win the same and play games. So this might prove to be a repression in his winning. Audiences may not vote for him saying he is too diplomatic.
Audiences aren't fool, right?
Ajaz Khan: A wild card entry, Ajaz Khan, is a story of nobody to somebody. Very few people would know that Ajaz was actually a taxi driver in New York and London. Later, he acted in daily soaps like 'Karam Apna Apna', 'Kahaani Hamarey Mahabharat Ki' and 'Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka' but never got much popular. Bigg Boss 7 is the show that gave his career a push and he is a known face today.
Famous for his 'bhai' style and 'talking to camera', Ajaz is a true entertainer. He knows all the tricks to be the focus and keep everybody revitalized. His short-termed flirt with Gauhar helped him grab some eyeballs and he is there where he wanted to be – The Finale. He has always maintained his reputation of a fun and has been loved for the same.
However, since he entered the Bigg Boss late (on Day 42), he has a lesser chance of winning the show. Audiences have always rooted for contestants who had survived from Day 1 and it poses a dent for Ajaz. So will audiences vote for him?
Who are you voting for? Whom do you want to win the show? Who will be the winner? We will see!
So grab your popcorn and set your dinner on the sofa tonight, we will get to see the winner tonight 9 pm on Colors!

Going on holiday is always exciting, but for some people getting on an aeroplane can be really scary. We sent Leah to find out how kids are getting help with their fear of flying.
At the beginning of the one-day course, a pilot explains how planes are made and built to be really safe in the sky!
Next, the group are shown some exercises to help them stay calm before takeoff.
The most exciting part of the day is when all the kids get to have a go in a flight simulator so they can try out their new skills to see if they have conquered their fear.
Ready for take-off! Leah looks a lot happier about jetting off now - the pilot's top tips must have worked!

Plenty forgiving, excellent performance, and my goodness, it looks incredible!
This club hit the ball long and far. Get your distances down before you hit the course
I have moved on from this hybrid to try new things and always find my way back to them. Excellent shape, great stock shaft choices, very high soft landing ball flight. Excellent choice for any skill level.
Typical awesome ping quality

JailBreak (4.0.x - 4.1.2)

Using .rar vs .gz, and unzipped vs zipped for step 1
I have a quick question. Do you actually unzip the data.tar file before copying the files over to the root in step 1 of the Kindle 4 Jailbreak (following the method on the Wiki)?
For me, since my default zipping program is Winrar, the file only shows up as data.tar, not data.tar.gz. Should I rename it? And once again, would I use the unzipped file or the archived file for copying into the root directory?
Currently, I renamed it by adding the .gz and copied the archived/zipped file over. I got the diagnostics, but when I get to selecting 'Q > To continue' nothing happens (it should restart).
For now it seems I'm stuck in daignostics mode. I was able to use the USB test to connect the device to get it to show up as a drive on my laptop to delete the files I had copied in (just connecting by usb wasn't showing the Kindle drive), but even after deleting the files and attempting to reboot the system via a hard reset I'm still stuck in diags mode. However, if I can solve the above and use the usb test to copy in hte files correctly I feel I may be able to jailbreak properly. Otherwise, I need to figure out how to get out of diags.
I have the 4.1.0 version, and got rid of Special Offers. TEQUILA System Diags says number 184.108.40.206

Innovative technology, such as mobile devices and personal computers, is rapidly growing. Manufacturers are continuously improving their digital device products to enrich our day-to-day tasks. Such products offer people an easy and portable convenience for staying updated, entertained, informed––anywhere, anytime.
Today, over 93 percent of Americans use mobile phones; engaging in data-rich activities that reach beyond making the basic phone call. As the popularity and accessibility of technology rise, our lives tend to quickly adapt. It seems it's nearly impossible to escape advancing technology, and only time will reveal where it's ultimately going to bring us.
Recently, activity on any mobile or other digital device has become a helpful tool in the investigative community. Our electronics include flash memory, SIM cards, and smart media cards that can assist investigators to answer case-specific questions; making digital gadgets prime accomplices for retrieving information and pertinent evidence.
A recent article featured in The Petri Dish, a publication of the State of Minnesota Office of the Public Defender, John J. Carney, Principal of Carney Forensics, discusses how digital devices can help tap into discovery of hard-to-find digital evidence. In addition, he reveals how other devices like GPS units, MP3 players and e-books can augment investigative cases.
