Please id the tree from these images. Photos taken in Seattle, WA
tree id...
Reminds me of Viburnum or maybe an extremely large Cotoneaster but it would probably have fruit about now. If it's in Seattle proper, and you know the location, I can try to track it down in my Trees of Seattle book. I can't tell if it's a tree or just an old specimen shrub and if it's evergreen or not.
I'd go along with the cotoneaster id.
Can you get some better foliage pics? It's not easy to see if the leaves are alternate or opposite in these pics.
Fairly certain it's not a Cotoneaster with those felted white undersides to the leaves.
probably be back there to take some photos. it is a walking distance from where I live. The leaves are still hanging on around this time of the year so I think it maybe an evergreen tree.
I saw this plant here before and it is not a prize garden plant. I think most people grow it in a hedge formation.
I don't think I ever saw this tree with any fruit or flower. I am not well versed in tree but my guess could be some other Prunus. I'll walk overthere for some more pics to upload.

I agree with Resin - some clearer images of the stems showing the leaf arrangements should be provided. That is always great for primary determination for at least what a plant isn't.
Chides @ growin: all self-respecting Viburnum sp. will be opposite, while Cotoneaster sp. favor alternate arrangements.
All that said: I seem to make out alternate arrangement of foliage from the first and third images. Nixes Viburnum sp. as a choice. As Resin notes - the felted leaf undersides are a key, as are what look like pretty fuzzy petioles on those leaves.
Take a shot of the WHOLE plant. Snip one of those many wayward stems, and bring it back home where you can focus on some of the smaller details (like buds).
I think the leaves are alternate, but I can't think about Cotoneaster. I had photographed similar Eriobotrya in Sunnyvale (both E. excelsa and E. japonica). Looks similar to E. japonica.
You should add Eriobotrya excelsa to PlantFiles; can't find a listing there.
The other Eriobotrya sp. seem to have quite dentate leaf margins in images I've perused, while the plant in question above looks like it has entire margins.
Just got back to take pictures of the tree. I have Eribotrya (loquat) as part of my photo collection so I should know what it should look like. I think the tree is about to come down as it is taped with the yellow police "do not cross" tape by the trunk. I think it a wild tree from seeds or something.
Still looks to be alternately arranged - though no definitive images shown there - and still appears to have entire margins.
The bark reminds me of Photinia but I am not sure.
hello vn...are you sure the photos were taken in Seattle? there seemed to me to be something amiss about them, something not quite right...oh yes, the sky is BLUE...you photo shopped that in right? :-D
This might sound a bit odd but maybe a vintage Rhodo. Compare the earlier photos and new photos to rule out.
vitrsna, it was rather sunny yesterday and now it's raining. Seattle and Vancouver often share the same weather.

The first set of images were taken in Seattle. The weather was so nice I decided to walk around the neighborhood to take some photos. Some members here asked me to take more pictures so i went back there today which is cloudy with scattering shower.
I use iphoto, not Adobe photoshop.
Meant to say first set of images taken in Seattle yesterday.

Yes it is growing interesting with all of us trying our best. Hope we find the true identity soon. Rhododendron can be explored further.
It could be very well be a vintage Rhodo.
hello vn...well, my comment was meant to be funny (like a joke). i lived in Seattle for a couple dozen years plus or minus and we were always joking about the weather...for example, during a picnic gathering (on a sunny day i might add) someone brought a book of black and white photos of very old Seattle and we were all looking and admiring and trying to place the photos and one person piped up with "yes, and the photos are all in very good color too"...it took us about 15 minutes to stop laughing. good luck with your id.
I wasn't offended! Everyone from out of town who came to Seattle and didn't see the rain or shower they were surprised!
I walked around the neighborhood to take some photos and even if this one is not identified I am not loosing sleep over it! If it is not being hacked down, I could go back in the spring to see if it blooms or not.
thanks to everyone!
Must admit, the leaves look opposite to me.
Resin, what'dya think about the Rhodo suggestion?
Dear vngarden
Perhaps you will have to help us in deciding whether leaves are alternate or opposite to proceed further. In the third photograph of the first set most leaves arising near the trunk (hope they belong to same plant) are alternate. In the second set some branches seem to have a few alternate leaves (unless the other leaf has fallen off), but there seem two opposite leaves, topped by a single leaf of same size (rather than bud). This seems to create some confusion. Please get one or two good photographs to clear this issue.
I think they are decussate (opposite alternating) or maybe whorled.
Dear Viburnumvalley
I am uploading images of Eriobotrya japonica from Sunnyvale CA, and Kashmir for comparison with first photograph of first set. They are surely dentate in E. deflexa (sorry for my earlier typo error E. excelsa) but fairly entire in E. japonica
Images of Eriobotrya japonica from California and Kashmir
vngarden's plant lacks corrugation and is fairly flat. It also lacks the minimal serrations on Eriobotrya. The caution tape looks like it's been there for a while so I doubt it's coming down anytime soon. I still have this weird feeling it's an old Rhodo.
You first image is making a run at entirety, though there are minimal serrations/bristles in there. Your second image has a mouthful of teeth (well, maybe better described as bristles) along those margins.
Is this what you mean? From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/decussate :
2. Botany - Arranged on a stem in opposite pairs at right angles to those above or below, resulting in four vertical rows: decussate leaves.
That is similar or the same term as ranked, as in what I think Weigela florida and Physostegia virginiana leaves look like along the stem - not the unknown plant above.
Please don't misunderstand - not claiming any superior botanical prowess...more looking for affirmation that I think I understand the terminology.
Ok, leaf arrangement FAIL on my part. What I find strange is on the second set of photos of this plant, first image, shows a branch in the middle-top with both opposite and alternate. Go figure. Check out this pic: http://www.rhodogroup-rhs.org/Dictionary/Rhododendron/R.delavayi.htm it grows tall enough, has the white indumentum on the undersides and I've seen them around.
What I find strange is on the second set of photos of this plant, first image, shows a branch in the middle-top with both opposite and alternate. Go figure.
Looks to me like it has lost several leaves; as far as I can tell, the single 'alternate' leaves have a leaf scar opposite them on the twig where a former opposite leaf was earlier.
Having discussed various options and Eriobotrya being out of contention, I think Rhodendron seems to be best option. I was already uncomfortable with opposite leaves suggestion, but now Opposite and decussate leaves has further stumped me. I wish vngarden comes to our rescue. This is how a typical opposite and decussate condition would present (it is Stellaria meda image)
I tend to lean toward Rhodo but I am not authoritative on trees. I am heading to Bank of America this week so I would stop by to take more photos with different angles so we can narrow our options.
If you don't know by now, Rhododendron is prevalent in the Pacific Northwest.
Upload more photos later.

[efoods]A funny thing happened on the way back from the Debate Thursday night . . .
As I noted in my previous post HERE, Texas' newspapers seemed to have many commenters who thought Debra Medina had acquitted herself well in the debate on Thursday.
Possibly as a reaction to that apparent groundswell of support, many of these newspapers put up unscientific polls of their readers to see who they thought won the debate.
The results were surprising. The Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom website, an admittedly anti-Perry Group, shows an overwhelming vote for Medina:

For a guy from Camden, Ark., an assistant who once ruled the roost as Texas A&M's defensive coordinator, Tommy Tuberville sure stood out like a sore thumb in Lubbock, Texas. Perhaps that has much to do with a simple idea: When push came to shove, Tuberville didn't really want to be there.
Oh, but his replacement does. Kliff Kingsbury loves Lubbock, you see, from his coiffed top to his Ray-Bans to the flip-flop and shorts, and wanted nothing more than to parlay his awesomely successful turn as the Aggies' offensive coordinator – and Johnny Manziel's tutor, guru and guidance counselor – into a return to the field where he first made his name as a record-setting quarterback.
One thing is obvious: You wouldn't confuse Kingsbury and Tuberville in a lineup. One is a well-traveled hand who seemingly landed at Texas Tech by happenstance, looking at a solidly built foundation as the place where he could regain his luster. That would be Tuberville. Kingsbury, on the other hand, is a rocket just now taking flight – and he's taking his beloved Red Raiders along for the ride.

The present application is related to U.S. Pat. No. 6,597,189 issued on Jul. 22, 2003; U.S. Pat. No. 6,771,085 issued on Aug. 3, 2004; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,954,082 issued on Oct. 11, 2005, assigned to the assignee of the present application, and herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to methods for testing integrated circuits, and more particularly to a zero ATE insertion force interposer daughter card used for ATE testing integrated circuits.
Integrated circuits (ICs) are enclosed within IC "packages." The IC packages generally include a housing and external pads, connectors, leads or pins on outside edges or an outside surface of the housing. The external connectors are electrically connected to connection pads on IC dies for transferring electrical signals between the enclosed ICs and external components or devices with which the ICs interact. The IC packages are generally mounted on printed wiring boards (a.k.a. motherboards, printed circuit boards, etc.)
IC package designs differ based on a variety of characteristics, such as size, arrangement of external connectors and materials of construction, among many other characteristics. Each IC package must be appropriate for the enclosed IC, depending on IC characteristics such as die size, number of connection pads and amount of heat generated during operation of the chip, among other characteristics.
When a new IC or new IC package is developed, the package or IC/package combination must undergo testing to qualify the IC package to be used in a wide range of conditions. Additionally, particularly for surface-mounted IC packages, the IC package is tested when mounted on a representative circuit board that physically simulates the types of printed wiring boards on which the IC package may be mounted. Such testing is necessary because the internal and external stresses and strains on a board-mounted IC package are different from a free-standing, or un-mounted, IC package. For example, it is important to determine the reliability of the "attach system" (i.e. solder balls, etc.) to the printed wiring board. Also, the stresses on the IC die mounted within the IC package are different when the IC package is board-mounted compared to when the IC package is free-standing.
Tests that focus on the reliability or function of the connection between the IC package and the printed wiring board are commonly referred to as "second-level" tests. On the other hand, tests that focus on internal portions of the IC package are commonly referred to as "first-level" tests. However, the second-level tests commonly involve a combination of first-level and second-level issues, since the attached printed wiring board can affect the IC die and other internal components of the IC package and the electrical signals applied to the external connectors must pass into the IC package to the IC die and back to the external connectors.
The second-level tests generally involve variations in electrical signal bias, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, etc. One commonly performed second-level IC package test is a thermal cycling test defined by IPC-9701, "Performance Test Methods and Qualification Requirements for Surface Mount Solder Attachments," by IPC—Association Connecting Electronics Industries of Northbrook, Ill. Another type of second-level test is an electrical bias test commonly known as a highly accelerated stress test (HAST).
The IPC-9701 test generally subjects the surface-mounted IC package to thermal cycling conditions while electrical signals are supplied to the IC package. The electrical signals are monitored for failure conditions, such as an unacceptable increase in electrical resistance at any given temperature (e.g. −0° C. to +100° C.), which may occur due to thermal expansion and/or contraction of any portion of the IC package. Manual testing then determines the location of the failure condition. In a more practical and new approach the resistances are monitored at fixed intervals during a test consisting of 3500 cycles of −0° C. to +100° C.
The aforementioned HAST test generally subjects the IC packages to electrical bias testing in a relatively harsh environment (e.g. about 130° C. and about 85% relative humidity) to stress the IC packages to accelerate any potential electrochemical problems. The IC packages are placed in relatively expensive sockets that are mounted on a relatively expensive motherboard, and the populated motherboard is placed in a HAST test chamber. The IC packages are thus stressed in the test chamber for a period of time (e.g. about 100 hours). Then the populated motherboard is removed from the test chamber, and the IC packages are removed from the sockets. The IC packages are then connected to an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and tested to locate any failure condition(s) that may have been caused by the electrical bias stressing.
An improvement to this test apparatus and method is described in U.S. Pat. 6,597,189, filed Nov. 27, 2002 and issued Jul. 22, 2003 to the same inventor and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. U.S. Pat. 6,597,189 describes a socketless test apparatus and method using test interposer cards on which the IC packages are mounted and which is an improvement over the socket-based tests. The test interposer cards are appropriate printed wiring boards for testing the IC packages in a board-mounted situation.
However, even with the improved interposer cards described above, one of the main disadvantages of ATE of accelerated reliability stressed packaged devices is that in order to place a test package in an ATE test socket, an ATE clamp is used to hold the test package in place and to make good electrical contact between the packaged and the ATE socket. This total force can exceed 100+ lbs. Should the test package may have a broken electrical connection on the second-level, i.e., between the test package and the test interposer card, then the force applied to the top of the test package may falsely mask the broken electrical connection. This is particularly a concern for the evaluation of second order (Device to Board) connections where the BGA connections are the main focus. The force can also cause device to board warpage, thereby placing undue strain on the connections and consequently causing false opens.
In addition, it would be desirable to perform second level testing of an active device contained in the test package. There is no known current methodology to ATE test second reliability of an active device. All the current tests are performed with a Daisy Chain device. Development of a Daisy Chain die is a costly and timely task.
Accordingly, what is needed is an improved method and system for performing second level testing on integrated circuit packages.
The present invention provides a zero automated electrical testing (ATE) interposer daughter card (IDC) for use in a test apparatus for ATE. Embodiments of the IDC include a first side having a first set of pads for mounting I/O's of a test package; and a second side having a second set of pads coupled to the first set of pads for replicating the first set of pads, wherein the second set of pads is located in area of the interposer card horizontally offset from the first set of pads, such that ATE measurements are obtained by removably inserting only a portion of the interposer card containing the second set of pads into an ATE test socket.
According to the system and method disclosed herein, by only inserting the offset area of the IDC in an ATE socket, the test package-to-IDC connections are left suspended in air and undisturbed by the socket clamp force. Instead, the pressure is asserted on the IDC over the offset area, which has no bearing on the reliability of the test package-to-IDC connections.
The present invention relates to techniques for performing second-level tests on integrated circuit packages, such as flip-chip BGA packages. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements. Various modifications to the preferred embodiments and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features described herein.
The same inventor and same assignee of the present invention have developed a concept of ATE testing devices that are attached to a PCB directly by using an Interposer Daughter Card (IDC), as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,597,189 issued on Jul. 22, 2003; U.S. Pat. No. 6,771,085 issued on Aug. 3, 2004; and co-pending patent application Ser. No. 10/727/474 filed on Dec. 4, 2003. In order to take full advantage of this for second level testing, the present invention provides an adaptation the interposer daughter card (IDC) for testing integrated circuit packages (hereinafter test packages) that will be able to ATE test not only simple daisy chain devices but also an active die.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the IDC of the present invention is provided with an area for connecting a test package and an offset area that duplicates the area for connecting the test package. When the IDC of the present invention is to be tested in an ATE, only the offset area of the IDC is inserted in an ATE socket to prevent pressure from the socket being asserted on the test package-to-IDC connections, which is left suspended in air and undisturbed by the socket clamp force. Instead, the pressure is asserted on the IDC over the offset area, which has no bearing on the reliability of the test package-to-IDC connections.
Although the present invention will be described in terms of a preferred embodiment in which a BGA Flip Chip package is attached to the IDC of the present invention, those with ordinary skill in the art will recognize that any type of integrated circuit package may be attached to the IDC and still remain within the scope of the present invention.
The top side 18 of the IDC 10 in the test package area 12 preferably includes a predefined number of individual female connectors, referred to as a set of test package pads 20, for surface mounting I/O's of the test package 16. In a preferred embodiment, the test package 16 is a BGA package. The test package pads 20 are therefore a type suitable for receiving the balls 21 of the BGA package 22. The balls of the BGA package are preferably attached, in the exact same manner used for the production PCB attachment, to the test package pads 20 with solder.
Referring again to
After the test package 16 is mounted onto the test package pads 20, ATE measurements for the test package 16 are then obtained. This is accomplished by removably inserting the extended area 14 into the ATE test apparatus so that the set of replicated test pads 24 mate with the ATE test socket. An ATE test socket clamp rests on the top side 18 of the extended area 14 to hold the IDC in place. Notice that because the set of replicated test pads 24 is horizontally offset from the test package area of 12 of the IDC 10, the test package area 12 is left suspended in air and not disturbed by the force imparted by the ATE test socket clamp. ATE measurements are made with the set of replicated test pads 24, which is not sensitive to clamp force. In addition, it is typically desirable to perform ATE at 100° C. and 0° C. This is now relatively easier to do since the test package 16 is extended away from the ATE socket and easier to reach via a gooseneck heater/cooler for heating and cooling.
A zero ATE insertion force interposer daughter card is been disclosed. The present invention has been described in accordance with the embodiments shown, and one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that there could be variations to the embodiments, and any variations would be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the set of replicated test pads 24 a may be located on the same side of the IDC 10 as the set of test package pads 20, or the vias 28 coupled to the center of replicated test pads 24 may be implemented as through vias, rather than vias that terminate between the top and bottom sides of the IDC. Accordingly, many modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

text: So, I was at Best Buy w/ the wife as she wanted a new laptop...well I quickly got bored of that and thought I'd go goof around in the "music dept." for a while. I few things stood out to me.. They had a MIA Standard P-bass, it was not a "Special" it was black and played quite nice and was setup pretty well(see related story below), but a glance at the serial number indicated it was a 2008??? How does Best Buy come by this bass? It wasn't there last week, so I assume it came from another store?? The plastic was still on the pickguard & it had all the original case candy, so I assume it's not a return... anyway they are asking $808 and I'm actually considering it....thoughts? I'm not opposed to buying a musical instrument from Best Buy, though it does seem a little wierd. The price seems "fair" but... If I buy a 2008 Fender "new" do I still have the Fender warranty if there are any issues down the road?? Second observation...I played probably 10 Fenders & Squiers...NOT ONE was in tune, and 75% of those were nearly unplayable (bad neck issues, horrible setup etc...). I understand that their "music dept" isn't their main focus, but you'd think they would at least tune the instrument anyway... /rant.

Product Description
For assembly instructions, care, use and safety information please download the SunGlo A242 Manual. For specs and additional features download the SunGlo A242 Spec Sheet.
Stainless steel does not "rust," however varying atmospheric conditions; areas with acid rain, beach and ocean areas with heavy misty conditions may leave brown deposits on the heater. This is to be expected of any stainless steel product used outdoors.
We recommend washing the outer stainless steel components such as the post and decorative cover and perforated material around the lighting instructions with a mild detergent solution and immediately wiping it clean with a dry soft cloth. The stainless steel can be expected to darken and discolor around the heater head and pan as it sustains extreme temperatures. This is normal and to be expected with any outdoor gas heating or cooking appliance.
Never use a cleaning agent that is flammable or corrosive. Never spray any cleaning product on the emitter grid or burner area. If you purchased a powder-coated model, treat it just like you would any other piece of fine outdoor patio furniture. Wash all painted parts of the heater with a soapy solution and protect it with a coat of automobile car wax a couple of times per year or as required dependent upon your local weather and climate conditions.
If you need to touch up a painted heater only paint the post and base portions. Never paint the emitter grid, lighting instructions, valve or control knob area, or the LP cylinder.
The burner ports must also be kept clear so that the burner burns evenly and the flow of gas is not restricted. If the heater is not performing adequately it will be necessary to check the burner and burner venturi. In a salt air or ocean environment, corrosion and rust occurs at a far greater rate than in non-ocean areas. You will need to more frequently check for corrosion and replace parts as required.
The best protection for the critical heater head is a cover that has been specifically designed for your heater. A stainless steel protective cleaner such as PGS Stainless Steel Cleaner will help protect the finish of all stainless steel components.

Cleverley sorry for Fletcher
Tom Cleverley recognises the loss of midfielder Darren Fletcher is another setback for Manchester United.
Last Updated: 14/12/11 8:07am
Tom Cleverley recognises the loss of midfielder Darren Fletcher is another setback for Manchester United.
The Scotland captain has been forced to take an 'extended break' from football due to a chronic inflammatory bowel condition.
Fletcher's absence is another setback for manager Sir Alex Ferguson, especially in the wake of the humiliating eliminations from the Carling Cup and UEFA Champions League.
But Cleverley, who is himself recovering from an ankle ligament injury, thinks the likes of Ryan Giggs, Ji-Sung Park, Michael Carrick, Phil Jones and Darron Gibson can fill the void.
"I am gutted for Fletch'," the midfielder told Sky Sports News. "I'm not too sure about what it is, but I'm afraid it is bad news for him and bad news for the team.
"He is a massive player for us and it is a shame, because we are having a bit of a problem in centre-midfield.
"But we have got Giggsy, Ji, Carrick, Phil Jones doing a job, and Darron Gibson still in the squad. So that's what squads are for."
Cleverley was also full of praise for Fletcher, who has been restricted to just 10 appearances for United this season.
"He is a fantastic pro," said the 22-year-old. "Growing up through the ranks, he is someone that has done the same journey that I have.
"So he is someone I have always looked up to."

FAQ page contains dead link for project submit
The FAQ entry for adding a project to Freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/faq/view/6/) contains a dead link. Instead of http://freshmeat.net/submit/ it should be http://freshmeat.net/add-project/
Another bug to fix :)
Explanation the name
The name is quite logic actually.
The part of the name that is confusing you must be the "weblog" part. Blogger has a pretty good explanation of the term weblog: "A weblog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically -- like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly -- from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction. Many weblogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some weblogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both."
A tool for securing DNS communications between a client and a DNS resolver.

Agere proposes network processor standards group
Post a comment
AUSTIN, Texas Agere Inc. has sent a proposal to many of its network-processor competitors, as well as to communication industry OEMs and network software developers, proposing the creation of a Network Processor Standards Organization (NPSO). The company has registered a domain name, www.npstandards.org, and wants to have a founding meeting in or near San Jose, Calif. in July or August.
Two factors could give tentative members pause: as a startup promoting its own "Payload Plus" architecture, Agere may have trouble wooing its direct competitors like C-Port Inc., Sitera Corp. and Softcom Microsystems Inc. The charter for the NPSO also overlaps with the Common Switch Interface Consortium (CSIX) founded by Xaqti Corp. and Power X Ltd.
Jeremey Donovan, semiconductor senior analyst at Gartner Group/Dataquest Inc., said that both elements are enough to make an outsider skeptical, but neither factor is a show-stopper. PMC-Sierra Inc. (Burnaby, British Columbia) bore the brunt of skepticism in the early 1990s when it created the Saturn Development Group for ATM system development, Donovan said, but the organization ended up being very successful. CSIX is winning converts as well, he said, though it was viewed as a Xaqti-only project last fall.
Donovan said that Agere should consider a merger or joint effort with CSIX, and should also consider changing the organizational name to emphasize "communication processors." Some architectures, like those of T.Sqware Inc., are oriented more to communication aggregation than packet-processing in a network, and Donovan suggested the concept of "network processor" may be too limited.
Bob Bridge, vice president of marketing at Agere (Austin, Texas), said that he hopes to work out a relationship with CSIX members to delineate functions. While CSIX looks at processor-to-switch interfaces at physical and network layers in the protocol stack, the primary goal of NPSO is to develop benchmarks for performance, including assigning a test lab for processor benchmarking, making the organization similar in part to what Systems Performance Evaluation Council did for general-purpose microprocessors.
Another important goal for NPSO is to bring standardization to programming languages and application programming interfaces, he said. While this may encourage the participation of software stack developers like Harris & Jeffries Inc. or Trillium Digital Systems Inc., it also could go against the interests of some processor developers like C-Port, who hope to make their development environment a key value-added feature of their architecture.
"We obviously gain some credibility for own company in launching this effort, but the obvious payoff we think many vendors will support is the establishment of good benchmarks for performance," Bridge said.

London - England, Wales and Australia were all drawn together in a potential "group of death" when the draw for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England was made on Monday.
The trio all found themselves in Pool A at a draw conducted at London's Tate Modern gallery.
This means one of the sport's traditional powers will be knocked out before the quarter-finals, with only the top two teams from each of the four pools going through to the knockout stages.
Wales were beaten 14-12 by Australia, twice the world champions, in Cardiff on Saturday - their eighth straight defeat by the Wallabies.
England are currently in confident mood after their 38-21 victory over reigning world champions New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday.
However, that followed defeats by Australia (20-14) and South Africa (16-15) at Twickenham last month.
"It's a pretty tough pool," said England coach Stuart Lancaster. "Wales, I've got a huge amount of respect for what they've done recently.
"Australia have just beaten us and are an incredibly competitive nation. We'll look forward to it on a few years' time," added Lancaster bidding to follow Clive Woodward, the man behind England's 2003 Webb Ellis Trophy triumph, in becoming a World Cup-winning coach.
The All Blacks, also the inaugural 1987 champions, were drawn in a Pool C with Argentina, Tonga and two as yet unqualified teams in Europe 1 and Africa 1.
South Africa, World Cup winners on home soil in 1995 and in France in 2007, were in Pool B with Samoa, Scotland, Asia 1 and Americas 2.
It was the fourth consecutive time the Springboks have been drawn in the same pool with Samoa, and the second time they were in the same group as Scotland, as in 1999.
France, beaten finalists in New Zealand last year, were in a Pool D with a strong Six Nations bias as it also included major European rivals Ireland and Italy as well as Americas 1 and Europe 2.
The eight remaining teams will come from a series of global qualifying matches that started in Mexico in March and will culminate in 2014.
The quarter-final draw could see New Zealand up against either France, who knocked them out in the last eight in 2007, or Ireland.
Meanwhile, the winners of England, Australia or Wales will face the runners-up from Pool B, who on current form are likely to be Samoa or Scotland.
Whoever wins Pool A will avoid New Zealand until the final provided the All Blacks, as they've done at every previous World Cup, win their group.
The Pool B winners will face the runners-up from Pool A with the winners of a Pool D where France will be the favourites facing the runners from Pool C, likely to be either Argentina or Tonga.
The 2015 World Cup in England, the eighth edition of the tournament, will run from September 18 to October 31, 2015, with the final at Twickenham.
Full draw:
Pool A - Australia, England, Wales, Oceania 1, Repechage winner
Pool B - South Africa, Samoa, Scotland, Asia 1, Americas 2
Pool C - New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga, Europe 1, Africa 1
Pool D - France, Ireland, Italy, Americas 1, Europe 2
QF1: Winner of Pool B v Runner-up Pool A
QF2: Winner of Pool C v runner-up Pool D
QF3: Winner of Pool A v Runner-up Pool B
QF4: Winner of Pool D v runner-up C
SF1: Winner QF1 v Winner QF2

The CRI Quiz is back!
Don't worry. Summer isn't over yet. But here at the Creative Retirement Institute (CRI), we're planning classes for the fall term, and we want you to know about them.
For those of you who don't know about CRI, it's a lifelong learning program, sponsored by Edmonds Community College. If you're over age 50, you can sign up for any of CRI's college-level, non-credit courses, regardless of your educational background.
There aren't any tests or grades, and the courses aren't expensive.
Mostly, subjects deal with the humanities, sciences, and current trends.
We have a sneaky way of publicizing these offerings, namely a trivia quiz based on the subject matter. Our strategy is, of course, to whet your interest.
Notice that the answers immediately follow the questions. The names of the courses follow the answers. Unless you want to cheat, you'll have to slide your hand down the pages as you move along.
And now to the quiz!
Q. What is the term for the series of agreements, begun in 1864, on the treatment of wounded soldiers and prisoners?
A. The Geneva Convention (More on Humanitarian Law)
Q. What religion and philosophy has an important concept, karma, which says good actions are rewarded and evil ones punished?
A. Buddhism (Mahayana Buddhism)
Q. What is the general term for islands of the central Pacific, including the Hawaiian Islands, the Samoan group, and Easter Island?
A. Polynesia (Polynesian Past)
Q. What is the science that studies the fossil remains of plants and animals?
A. Paleontology (Human Evolution)
Q. Who was the playwright who wrote "Summer and Smoke," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," and "The Glass Menagerie'?
A. Tennessee Williams (Great Playwrights and Their Plays)
Q. What climate change could result in a much shorter shipping route than the Panama Canal?
A. The melting of the polar ice cap, creating a Northwest Passage (Arctic Sovereignty)
Q. To what genre do each of these films belong: "Frankenstein," "The Invisible Man," "King Kong," and "Nosferatu"?
A. All are horror film classics. (Are You Ready for Halloween?)
Q. Who was the 13th century mystical poet inspired by Sufism, which teaches the soul can attain a personal union with God?
A. Rumi (Rumi: Poet of the World)
Q. Which famous military leader sparked an interest in France and England for everything Egyptian as a result of his Egyptian campaign?
A. Napoleon (The Lure of Art in the East)
Q. What is the title of Voltaire's 18th century satire of religion and other absolutist explanations of reality?
A. "Candide" (Voltaire and Tolstoy: What Is True?)
So how did you do? Whether or not you liked your score, we hope you became intrigued by some of the subjects. Quite a variety, right? Actually, a total of more than 30 courses make up the fall term's offerings.
The Creative Retirement Institute has been offering intellectual stimulation to older adults since 1993. We know how to do it.
You can learn more about CRI by phoning 425-640-1830 or visiting us at www.cri.edcc.edu.

Yes - cards that are in albums are not searchable.
And yes, you (in the general sense) could edit your existing uploads and move them to an album. But as the challenge guidelines state, the uploads need to be in the HYCCT category in order for you to be eligible for the prize drawings and in order to be included in the stats for HYCCT.
On my computer, I've created a special folder for my HYCCT cards and store them all there. Not exactly the same as having them all in a special place in my SCS gallery, but it suits my purposes fine.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh expects Arthur Brown to be his starting weak-side linebacker next season.
Harbaugh said that at the Ravens' season-review news conference earlier this month.
And Brown, Baltimore's second-round pick last year, feels like he will be ready to take on an increased role as well. He played strictly in sub packages as a rookie this season and only had 15 tackles.
"I feel a lot further along," Brown told RSR during a phone interview. "There was so much coming into this team from college that I did not know when it came to the defense. It was a whole new system that I had to learn, and I really had to take it all in.
"But after being here for one whole season, I can see how far I've come since the beginning."
Brown was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-American as a senior at Kansas State in 2012. But Kansas State ran a 4-3 defense. The Ravens play a 3-4.
So in college, Brown was primarily responsible for just the middle of the field. That's not the case with Baltimore.
"I had to play a lot more outside the box than I did in college," Brown said. "So in terms of coverage and space on the field, there's definitely a difference."
Brown is also in the process of trying to bulk up.
Coaches have told him that they want him to focus on getting bigger this offseason.
Inside linebackers in a 3-4 are typically between 235 and 250 pounds. Brown said that he was consistently around 228 during his rookie year.
"I would definitely like to bulk up," Brown said. "That definitely is a goal of mine. I don't necessarily have a particular weight in mind, but I would like to bulk up as long as I can maintain my athletic ability and my speed."
From there, Brown earning a bigger role and being in position to make more of an impact will come down to him continuing to grow within Baltimore's defense.
"I spoke to my linebacker coach quite often throughout the year and toward the end of the season, and he wants me to continue to stay locked in and to gain more knowledge of the defensive scheme," Brown said. "He'd like me to also be improve being able to recognize tendencies and personnel of the offense.
"I gained and improved a lot from the beginning of the season to now, but I still have so much to learn and so far to go."
Nonetheless, Harbaugh is hopeful Brown will be ready to take on a bigger role next season.
Harbaugh said in November that Brown reminds him of wide receiver Torrey Smith because of his work ethic.
"He comes to work every single day with one thing in mind — that is to improve," Harbaugh said at the time. "He doesn't let his energy be misdirected in any way. It is focused on getting better as a football player and being the best he can be.
"Because of that, he's going to be an excellent football player. He's on his way."
Brown is expected to compete for playing time with Jameel McClain and Josh Bynes.
Bynes started the first six games of this season while McClain worked back from a spinal cord injury. McClain then started the final 10 games.
However, the Ravens may part ways with McClain to create additional room under the salary cap, which would create even more of an opportunity for Brown.
Baltimore also may keep McClain and move him to the other inside linebacker spot if it is unable to re-sign Daryl Smith, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent.
That would leave Brown competing with Bynes for the starting weak-side linebacker job.
But whether he's starting or not, Brown thinks he will be in a much better position to make an impact than he was as a rookie.
"Most everything leading up to next season is going to be built off of what I learned and what I experienced during my rookie year and my preparation during this offseason," Brown said.
"So I definitely feel like with that time and with that experience, that is going to prepare me to where I can take on a bigger leadership role, be more productive and be more of a contributor on the field."

The mEducation Alliance and Mobiles for Reading Landscape Review- Presentation of Initial Findings
This session will provide an overview of the Mobiles for Education Alliance (mEducation)- its members, activities, goals and objectives. The Alliance serves as a coordinating body for donors, public and private sector leaders, project implementers and academics to build and share knowledge and foster innovative and cost-effective developments using mobile technologies (broadly defined) for promoting quality education in low-resource environments. The core objectives of the Alliance are to improve research and evaluation, share knowledge, promote partnerships and coordination and reduce duplicative efforts.This presentation will highlight current working groups and ways for participants and organizations to get involved. It will focus on the Mobiles for Reading (mReading) Working Group (WG), initial findings of its landscape review, and select projects that the group has identified as innovative, potentially highly replicable, and/or low cost for high impact. One of the principal areas of focus for this WG is the use of mobile technologies for the improvement of early grade reading, particularly in low resource and developing country contexts. The mReading WG seeks to explore what projects are currently using mobile technologies to improve literacy skills, what are effective methods for implementation, and what data exist from such activities to support potential scaling.

⇒I interviewed outgoing Simon & Schuster CEO Jack Romanos, as he expressed his confidence in successor Carolyn Reidy: "You don't want to bring somebody in who feels like she has to tear the company apart and put her own stamp on it.

⇒Charles Ardai got into it with the Mystery Writers of America over whether the novel Songs of Innocence is self-published, and thus ineligible for the MWA's Edgar award despite its overwhelming awesomeness.
⇒Somebody leaked me one of the most overblown pitch letters in recent memory.
⇒J.K. Rowling sued Harry Potter fans for daring to publish a print version of the website they'd created to explain all the people, places, and magic spells in her novels.
⇒Emily Gould gave notice at Gawker, which I didn't mention at the time because it didn't really have anything to do with book publishing. Except to the extent that her fourteen-month tenure gave the site its sharpest coverage of the publishing industry to date, not to mention some of its best writing, period. (Gould also gave notice for Choire Sicha, whose insightful eye on media culture will likewise be sorely missed on the site after today.) Here's hoping lines like "we get a lot of our book advice from people who eat broccoli for dessert" turn up somewhere else early on in '08.

536 pages
First published in 1978, The Structure and Reform of Direct Taxation presents the full findings and recommendations of the 'Meade' committee set up by The Institute for Fiscal Studies. It represents the most important contemporary examination of the structure of UK taxation and direct taxation systems in general. The results of two years' intensive research and discussion by this independent committee are presented as a report under the joint authorship of an outstanding team of tax experts. The committee brought together professional practitioners-lawyers, accountants and taxation administrators-and academic specialists in fiscal studies, and here provides a unique review of direct taxation which is comprehensive, singularly original and full of good sense.
The book begins with a return to first principles, restates the objectives of a good tax system and analyses existing structures. It goes on to examine the feasibility of basic reforms which would allow the system to become more straightforward in operation and which would base taxation on what individuals take out of the economy rather than on what they put into it.
Part One: Introduction 1. Scope and Purpose of the Study 2. The Characteristics of a Good Tax Structure 3. The Tax Base Part Two: Defects of the Present System 4. The Existing Base for Direct Taxes in the United Kingdom 5. The Direct Tax Burden and its Distribution 6. Indexation for Inflation Part Three: Some Radical Restructurings of the System of Direct Taxes 7. A Comprehensive Income Tax 8. Forms of Expenditure Tax 9. A Universal Expenditure Tax 10. A Two-Tier Expenditure Tax 11. Housing 12. Corporation Tax 13. Social Security and Income Maintenance 14. The Rate Structure 15. Capital Taxes I: Taxes on the Transfer of Wealth 16.

With a little more than two weeks remaining to pass a budget in Kentucky's legislative session, Republican Gov. Matt Bevin headed over to the state House chambers to check in — and found an empty room.
"It is 11 o'clock on a Monday. There is nobody in here," Bevin said in a video posted to his Facebook page. "There are 19 days left now for this House to be in session together with the Senate, and there's nothing being done. There's not a soul in here except for me. What are people doing?"
"You are paying all of these people to work," the first-term governor continued. "They've been in session for just over an hour per day this entire legislative session. They're being paid to be here full-time."
Bevin added that it is "completely unacceptable" that the House hasn't delivered a budget to him and specifically criticized Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo. In the video, Bevin implored him to "get serious about putting out a budget, to work with the people in this House and the Senate, to actually take care of our financial problems."
Brian Wilkerson, Stumbo's communication director, told TheBlaze that the House rarely is in session that early on a Monday morning as several lawmakers have to travel to Frankfort from all over the state. He also said that lawmakers attend meetings — including meetings about the budget — in other buildings outside of the chamber. According to the legislative calendar, the House is expected to convene at 4 p.m. Monday.
Wilkerson, in turn, criticized Bevin's office for withholding pertinent information about various points in the budget from lawmakers.
"The fact is, we're not having a lot of information given to us by [Bevin's] administration," Wilkerson told TheBlaze. "It's made it more difficult to come up with a budget proposal."
Wilkerson contended that "everything is still on track" as there "is still plenty of time" to come up with a budget proposal by mid-March.
"We've been moving forward, it's just that we've just been hampered by not having as much information as the administration," Wilkerson said. "They present the budget, the governor does, and then they should be able to defend it, and that's something we've not been able to see. What are your details on some agencies? How are you going to implement the cuts the governor is recommending? They can't or necessarily won't tell us."
Kentucky House Democrats also fired back at Bevin in a series of tweets Monday.

As of Monday afternoon, Bevin's video had amassed more than 100,000 views on Facebook. He released his own budget proposal on Jan. 26 during his State of the Commonwealth Address.
"The people of Kentucky deserve better than this," Bevin concluded in the video, as he pointed at the empty seats around him.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The mayor of Los Angeles on Tuesday called for changes to a law that limits how much the city can collect in property taxes.
KNX 1070's Pete Demetriou reports Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is taking his efforts to overturn Proposition 13 to the Sacramento Press Club.
Villaraigosa has recently suggested that the time has come for the idea of a split property tax roll as well as rethinking how to fund at education at all levels.
He told Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez in July that he was considering calling for changes to Prop. 13 that would initially address commercial property taxes and ultimately residential taxes.
"He has said before that he is considering changes to Prop. 13, which we think would be political suicide," said Jon Coupal with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "Prop. 13 continues to poll very popularly in California."
Despite the mayor's efforts, however, it remains unlikely that any changes to Prop. 13 will be enacted.
A 2009 attempt by the San Francisco County assessor to get an initiative for a split property tax roll on the ballot failed to get enough signatures, and odds are against two-thirds of the Legislature voting to putting the measure on the ballot.
Passed in 1978, Prop. 13 established the base year value concept for property tax assessments, limiting increases to the inflation rate or two percent, whichever is less, according to the California Board of Equalization.

Research in Motion has got 99 problems and satisfying demand ain't one. (Ha… groan.) Bloomberg reports that weak sales are leaving BlackBerrys and PlayBook tablets in warehouses to collect dust, the value of that inventory reaching $1 billion last quarter. Layoffs are in the offing. Losses are coming. They've hired JPMorgan and Royal Bank of Canada to reassess its strategy. Maybe they can do something about this.
Yesterday, trading on RIM stock was halted while CEO Thorsten Heins delivered some bad news. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that RIM is having a very hard time keeping up with Apple and the other competition. The company is promising a new strategy, but an underlying issue the company has to overcome may be more insidious than the already huge business obstacles: "skepticism."
Forbes uses the word in the headline of a story that rounds up some of the analyst opinions that are floating about. Words used by the analysts themselves: "doubts," "find it difficult," "continue to see no chance." Harsh.
Besides the lack of innovation and direction from BlackBerry, what they've failed to do is protect the reputation of the brand. Companies stumble. And RIM has definitely taken a header over recent months. But, there's always the possibility of a comeback when you have trusting audiences ready and waiting for your resurgence. So many missteps have caused a depreciation in the brand value. A great brand is hard to build, but easy to tear down.
So now the company is going all in on the BlackBerry 10, and people aren't so sure this is the panacea for RIM's ills.
"RIM has to pull something out to keep the market interested," says ZDNet, asserting that waiting isn't an option. There's very little that PR can do at this point, but maintaining interest, and hope, for the company may be the one thing.

Wilson Vs.Lucas, it was decided that although Wilson was not listed on the Debtor's schedules, this court sided with other courts, which consider omitted debts nonetheless discharged, and this court declined to reopen a no-asset Chapter 7 case because the action is considered to be of no effect.

The law is the same for Kentucky (as well as the other states in the Sixth Circuit, Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee). The case that says so is In Re Madaj, 149 F. 3rd 467 (6th Cir. 1998).

Police on Wednesday released a composite sketch of a man who may be with a 17-year-old Carlsbad girl who has been missing for more than a week and is considered at risk.
The parents of Christine Jelinek, Danny and Kaitlyn Smith, made a tearful plea for her safe return during a news conference with Carlsbad police.
Jelinek was last seen Jan. 3, said police Lt. Paul Mendes. She went to the Boxing Club on Melrose Drive in Vista for a regular workout. She left there and went to a nearby Subway sandwich shop, where she may have had contact with the man on an Internet chat room.
Police believe the two met at Subway and then went to nearby Mariah's restaurant. The man, whom her parents do not know, is then believed to have driven Christine home.
Christine is believed to have left her home during the early morning on Jan. 4.
The man is described as white, 45 to 50 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall and 160 pounds, with short hair described as "peppered" and light on bottom and dark on top. He was wearing jeans and a blue or gray button-down shirt.
Christine is white, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with shoulder-length dark brown hair and brown eyes. She may be wearing jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt.
"We just want her to come home," her mother said.
Anyone with information on her location is asked to call Carlsbad police at (760) 931-2223.

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
Federal police discovered a load of crystal methamphetamine, in a stranded semi-truck, in Santo Tomás in the early hours of Monday, April 22nd. El Universal reported that 120 kilos (264.5 pounds) of crystal meth was discovered inside the trucks tires. Francisco Javier Roa, deputy commander of the Federal Highway Police, stated that the truck came from Baja California Sur and was headed to Tijuana.
The truck had broken down at Santo Tomás, which is 42km south of Ensenada. The driver of the truck was apprehended at the scene.
Narcotic seizures headed north from Baja California Sur have grown in recent months, as drug traffickers are increasingly using the Sea of Cortez to transfer drugs from southwest Mexico.
Crystal meth seizures have risen on both sides of the border in recent years. Authorities believe the trend is the result of Mexican made meth slowly replacing South American cocaine on the drug market.
