Sex obsession is killing male snakes, study revealsA team of scientists has revealed a shocking fact about snakes. A hyperactive approach to the mating season is cutting the life of the male snakes short. The male snakes are dying earlier than their female counterparts.
A team of scientists has revealed a shocking fact about snakes. A hyperactive approach to the mating season is cutting the life of the male snakes short. The male snakes are dying earlier than their female counterparts. Female snakes, on the other hand, prioritise body-maintenance over short-term reproductive success.
In the University of Sydney study population of red-sided garter snakes in North America:
- Males undertake energetically expensive mating for 2-4 weeks a year;
- Males don't eat and must compete with thousands of other males during the mating season;
- Females stay at the orgy site for as little as one day, compared with up to 21 days for males; and
- Snakes hibernate underground for eight months in their communal dens and emerge en masse in spring, to form large aggregations where males scramble to locate and mate with females.
The study measured telomere length, which is a biomarker of ageing, in male and female snakes. The team found that males are unable to maintain good body condition, and age faster than females. This is probably because males spend their energy on mating, instead of protecting against DNA and cellular damage associated with ageing. In contrast, females prioritise body condition and may be better able to repair cellular damage, leading to longer lives and future opportunities to reproduce.
Senior author Christopher R Friesen explained that the snakes made good use of the relatively short amount of time to procreate, having only four months a year to breed, feed and have babies.
"Although we believe that all females mate every year, they only stay at the den sites (where mating takes place) for a short period of one- to three days; much less than males, who remain for at least a week and up to 21 days, which seems to result in males ageing faster and dying earlier than females," Dr Friesen said.
The paper reported: "The relationship between body condition and age differed strikingly between sexes, with females maintaining their body condition with age, while condition decreased with age in males."
In addition to prioritising self-preservation over sex, the female garter snakes studied in Manitoba, Canada, did not waste energy on looking after their babies postnatally, which is in line with the parenting approach of other snakes.
The research is published in the Royal Society journal Proceedings B.

Possible graphics driver problem?
Hey guys, hoping someone here can help me find a solution to this problem.
I believe it may be linked to an incident a few days ago when I was watching a video in windows media player, and the screen suddenly flashed and I received a notification at the bottom of the screen indicating that my display driver stopped responding but recovered successfully.
Since then on two occasions, I left my laptop idol and when returning to my laptop I find my screen is a mostly white with a strange blur of colors, its somewhat hard to explain. The first time it happened I simply shut down my system and rebooted and everything is fine. The second time it occurred I hit alt+ctrl+delete and it corrected itself bringing me to the screen lock the computer, switch user, etc..
Could this problem possibly be solved by updating my device drivers? I'm on a relatively new (I've owned it for about 3 months) laptop with a fairly fresh installation from 3 weeks ago.

I recently had a lot of issues with display driver stopped responding but recovered successfully error along with my monitor just turning off and displaying weird colors when recovering and sometimes my screen would just cut out and I would have to force restart my pc to get it working again.
I would also recommend trying new drivers first but make sure to uninstall your old driver before you install new ones and check your laptop manufacturers website before just getting the newest from ati or nvidia. If that does not work and if you are a gamer try to find a game that causes your driver to stop responding for trouble shooting reasons. If your still having the issue
If you run and nvidia card there are known issues with nvidia laptop cards and windows 7. Open your nvidia control panel and under manage 3d settings on the global settings tab find power management mode and switch to prefer maximum performance. This has been know to fix some issues. If your still having the issue
Then test your memory. If it says everything is ok you may still want to test them 1 stick at a time or send it back to have them test for you. It took me a while to solve my issues and it just turned out to be 1 bad stick of memory. The only symptom I had was the display driver errors
Hope this helps

Updating my drivers actually made my game crash, so I restored back to the old drivers and my game runs smooth as usual. I haven't tested this yet, but the only thing that has behaved strangely is my screen when returning from screensaver / sleep. I suppose I'll simply leave it as it is for now since I'm not having any serious problems. Thanks for your input guys.

Quite often, I define variables like so:
var something = (function () {
if (x) {
} else {
A good deal of the time, I'll use document inside that closure. Like, document.getElementById for example. Then, when I run it through JSLint, I get a bunch of errors that "document" hasn't been defined. So then I do this:
var something = (function (document) {
if (x) {
} else {
That makes it so that the error only shows up one time in JSLint, which makes me feel good. This is solely to satisfy my own personal tics. I know I shouldn't code exactly according to what JSLint says, I know that it's only a guide, blah blah blah.
My question is, are there any performance issues with doing this? With passing the document object to an anonymous function that's only being executed once, immediately?
You don't need to make use of that work-around.
When your code is intended to run in a web browser, the document object will always be available to you.
JSLint allows you to specify that assumption too, by providing a checkbox on the JSLint page called "Assume a browser"

Google announces its intentions to bid on the upcoming spectrum auction if the FCC embraces open access as part of its auction rules.
Read More
Well there really is no doubt how important a thing like open access wireless broadband can be to the USA, and its overall intellectual growth.
At the same time, its going to be the new plaground of terrorists, phreaks, hackers, pirates, and whoever else want to make a quick buck or for personal gain.
And thats significantly different from the current internet how? Anyone can pop into a coffee shop/hotel/unsecured wifi network as they are exceedingly easy to find. But don't let that little fact get in your way while you attempt to spread a completely irrational fear about terrorism/hackers/"phreaks"/etc. Way to blindly toe the line for the content industry and the government.
Ever notice that the one condition on connection to an 'open access' network is that the device and application not be harmful to the network itself? There will still be licensing and activation to get access, it would just be required that any safe device be eligible.
This condition makes Google's offer a non-starter. This is exacely what happened to broadband in much of the US (where virtaul ISP could start up after seeing whether the price would be high or low without risk, and guess what, they did when it was high, forcing the price to be low) When you require licensed parties to offer services at wholesale prices, you stymie investment and hurt everyone (i.e it's not socially ideal).
Yes, much as fax machines have made the world unsafe for us law abiding citizens! What with their unfettered access to the global network of phone lines! This should be put to an end at all costs!
Personally, I think it might be just better overall if the owners of the spectrum could not be providers to the end users.
You would have companies that own the spectrum itself, and lease it out to other companies that provide the services to the end user.
I don't however see this ever happening.
The other reason Google is making this a condition is because it makes the spectrum LESS valuable. That means they won't have to pay quite as much.
I think the whole idea of the open band is quite exciting, but we'll see what really comes out of it.
Wow, i guess go ahead and read into a fucking sentence way too much. Im trying to spread irrational fear? Nice.
I love how everyone feels the need to put words into my mouth. Its like you all have something to prove.
All hail google, all hail ubiquitous computing!
If the government requires open access, services, apps, etc -- then Google doesn't have to win at all. It can supply any number of services to whomever wins, and complete their end-run around the anti-net neutrality lobby.
(the only thing on earth that can drive up Google's cost of doing business)
Google's promise to bid is just backing up that position by saying: if no-one else wants to do it this way, then we'll step up and do it.
But I doubt they want to. Much better to let someone else build the network and then make boatloads off the various networks, users and device makers.
Consider how Google has basically obviated every desktop OS on the planet. Now imagine if they could pull that off in the cell phone market.
That's what they're after: Getting every mobile device to use google maps, google directory services, picasa, blogger, youtube, gChat, gMail, etc.
From: Google
To: AT&T
Suck it!
Right on.
If Google really wanted a wireless network to work this way, they would bid on the spectrum regardless of the FCC's conditions, and then voluntarily run an open network. If they really believed than open network was more valuable to the network operator, they would do this. But it isn't. Open networks leak value to the end users (good for us users, but bad for the operator's monopoly profits).
For the telecoms, yes, a closed network is more valuable. To Google, being the proponent of an open network has tremendous value. Don't underestimate the value of brand image. They still have a perception of being the champions of the end-user.
Telecoms don't have a reputation that is worth defending nor redeemable. If a company or companies can break their strangle hold on the industry they will have many tech savvy consumers beating their drum for a long time.
It looks to me that Google's plan is this:
Google gets restrictions put on the bidding. In exchange, Google bids the spectrum up. However, Google knows it can't outspend the Telcos - so it will certainly lose. However, in the process, it will drive up the price of the spectrum. Therefore, the government will get more money, Google will get open access to the spectrum, and the Telco's/etc. will end up paying more for less.
So this is an attempt by Google to screw the Telco's while benefitting the public and polishing its good-guy image.
Why would the telecoms want to bid on spectrum that's not going to be profitable for them?
Umm... maybe google wants this to be set in stone so that *if* they can't get the money together to beat at&t,etc at the auction, then they'd still like it to be open. Yes it does look kind of shady, but really its under the premise that either way the spectrum should be open at a reasonable pricing schema
Why are so many thinking that Google cannot outspend Verizon or AT&T? Google has far more cash and no debt.
Verizon has $3.45B in cash and $34.68B in debt.
Google has $11.94B in cash and $0 in debt.
Verizon's earnings have negative growth while Google has earnings growth of 69.20%
I can't find AT&T's figures, but the point is that Google is more than capable of bidding with the best. Definitely better positioned than Verizon is.
Isn't that mainly coupled with stock [price]? That would be a risk if so.
Considering Verizon likely has real, liquid cash in the bank?
I wonder if Apple will be interested in buying this 700MHz spectrum for it's iPhone. They could potentically have a broadband spectrul that woiuld allow users to voice and video conference with other iPhone users.
If an independent service buys this 700MHz spectrum I hope they allow cell phone users access to it so that they will have phone service while in elevators, in underground subways and in the deep woods places wehre you would never get a phone signal now.
Funny, but shouldn't open access be equated with deregulation? I love how Verizon does its spin.
Google's market cap is $161.42B - that's the company's value based on stock price.
The $11.94B is cash and short term investments.
Google is an extremely wealthy and extremely profitable company. With no debt whatsoever. Very few companies are in a better financial position than Google and I doubt AT&T is one of them.
It might be Google who is making the first moves, but I could see other tech companies wanting a part of this action. MS, Apple, IBM ... they could all make use of this space so maybe a combined effort will end up being made. Google is just getting the ball rolling, but if they are jumping in I doubt they will be alone.
No doubt. "Maybe" MicroSoft, but that is just a guess, I didn't bother doing any research...
Actually, as of today, GOOG's market cap is $120 billion.
For a comparable, take a look at Apple (AAPL):
Market cap: $124 billion
Cash: >$13 billion
Debt: zero
If the last sentence in your original post was meant in jest, then I apologize for jumping down your throat like that - I didn't catch the sarcasm. If you would like to discuss this more, shoot me a PM.
there's always one....
It's worth pointing out why Google wants rules imposed on spectrum that, if it wins said spectrum, it would voluntarily adopt anyway. It thinks it can make money off of wholesale: So why have a wholesale requirement ahead of time?
Google is willing to bid on spectrum in order to make money off of that spectrum. Verizon, etc, is willing to bid on spectrum to keep Google from having it, to make money by protecting their existing businesses.
In other words: Google would be outbid by an incumbent wireless provider, because the spectrum is worth more to the incumbents to keep new guys out, than it is as a property to make new money on.
Compare wireless to other businesses. Very few other businesses can totally shut out competitors by buying up every possible license to operate in that field. McDonald's can't buy the rights to every cow on Earth. But the wireless guys can control all the spectrum, and they sure try to.
Therefore, Google wants rules to make it so that even if Verizon (or some such) wins, it won't be able to keep new guys out. So Verizon would only bid what the spectrum is worth in itself, not what it is worth in relation to protecting its existing businesses. That's what open access does. It makes it so that in a bidding war, people only bid an amount equal to a reasonable rate of return on that spectrum.
But, but, you say---doesn't that mean that auction revenues will decrease under Google's rules?
Nope. Without rules like Google has asked for, it won't bid at all. Very likely, neither will FrontLine, or the DBS guys. Which means that the bidding would just be between incumbents--and, just like happened with the AWS auction, the total revenue raised would actually be LOWER than it otherwise would be.
Google isn't going to waste its time getting into a bidding war it knows it can't win. (It has the money to outbid anyone, but it's not looking to LOSE money on this spectrum.) The way to maximize revenue is to increase participation.
[just putting in a note that I might re-use this text elsewhere on the internet, so if a happy googler finds it he knows that the author is only plagiarizing himself]
The question isn't regulation vs. no regulation. It very rarely is. The question is, what kind of regulation?
I love how granting a company an exclusive (and probably unnecessary, but that's another topic) license to use spectrum, with the government pledging to use the law to prevent others from using that spectrum, EVEN FOR NON-INTERFERING USES--no, that's not "regulation."
Meanwhile, they whine about "giveaways", but these incumbents have HUGE first-mover advantages that are the result of just that--giveaways. We didn't even start auctioning spectrum until the 1990s. You can't take a market that is distorted by decades of ludicrous policies and somehow "deregulate" it and get good results.
The paradox is that Verizon wants the government, in this case the FCC, to not meddle (i.e. to regulate is to meddle) with how spectrum franchisees use the spectrum by not requiring that franchisees not subject the spectrum to anything that is not network-neutral. If the government accedes to Verizon, Verizon would then end up being the one "regulating" the spectrum, by enforcing its own preferences of how bandwith is to be allocated to different websites and services.
Hence, it is much better for the FCC to regulate the spectrum than for the FCC to let spectrum awardees do anything they wish, as if winning the spectrum bid gives them the right to do anything devoid of social consequences.
Of course, this assumes that FCC is an independent regulatory agency tasked with upholding the interests of the public at large.
To stop other people owning that spectrum !
Every bit of data transmitted over the wireless spectrum, is data that isn't travelling over the telecoms wires. The telcos don't want wireless competition, for obvious reasons.

Equal Pay Act and Aged Care Workers
Dear Mr Ryall and Ms Goodhew
I urge the government to tell the Aged Care Association and Terranova Homes and Care Ltd not to appeal the ruling of the Employment Court on the application of the Equal Pay Act to the wages of aged care workers.
Unfortunately because this work has largely been performed by kind hearted women, care workers are amongst the lowest paid workers in New Zealand. Care workers pay rates do not reflect the value of the work performed nor do they reflect the value society should place on our elderly receiving the best standards of care and attention.
The Employment Court ruling will change aged care for the better. It is a landmark decision and cause for celebration.
I accept that current funding levels may not be adequate for organizations to comply with the Employment Court ruling. However this is a separate issue that needs to be addressed by the government in purchasing agreements with aged care service providers. It should not be used as a reason to appeal the ruling.
New Zealanders have made it clear they want our elderly to have the best of care. I feel they would have no issue with the government paying the increased costs out of taxpayers funding if it meant aged care workers received the pay they deserve for the valuable work that they do.

Hello All;
I'm using RHEL4 as my OS and I have PLESK 8.2.0 installed on it. Default PHP version was 4.3.9
I wanted to install last version of MediaWiki and it needed PHP5. So I installed PHP 5.2.1 on it successfully by compiling and building it from its source rpm.
Although I bypassed plesk, it detected new version of PHP and continued working without any problem. Now I want to upgrade some components of Plesk and it fails and gives me a long failure report that I've put some parts of it here and it seems that it has problem with PHP5. Would you please help me to know how I can downgrade my PHP from 5.2.1 to 4.3.9 again?

Hello Lynn, I just wanted to mention something regarding the DCX. It's a nifty tool for prototyping and whatnot, but the garbage becomes VERY noticable on a high efficiency system. I'm not one of those people who can hear the third chair violinist scratching his nose on recordings, but the hiss that the DCX adds to my HE system really takes the enjoyment out of listening to it. Now I don't have a modified one, that may take care of everything, but those modifications would have to bring that hiss down a LOT.

The good thing for test baffles is that you can run tests.
Sometimes the speaker is your device under test sometimes you are the DUT me myself and I
I have to apologise for my csd plot in post 797.
What is shows up as a stepped decay there is simply due to low frequency cone excursion out of its linear range.
To make something useful out of my fault for this thread, I run a couple of additional measurements focusing on the limitations in SPL with respect to XO frequency. XO I have chosen to be of the Linkwitz-Riley type at 24 dB.
All measurements were done at zero distance with no EQ applied. Speaker is the same modified Dynaudio 21W54 as before.
To give a taste of real SPL I adjusted the MLS signal to 100 dB A-weighted (300Hz LR-24dB cut).
The measurements compare the test baffle to a heavily damped closed box with 30 liter volume and almost the same front size.
First the 21W54 in the closed box no XO, no EQ smoothed and unsmoothed. The dip at 750Hz is considerably lower than in the OB like predictable from EDGE simulation:
Now the closed box with XO at 100 Hz, 150 Hz and 300 Hz:
It can be seen that the closed box decay of the resonance at 750 Hz smoothes from stepped to linear at around 150 Hz
Now the open baffle at 200 Hz 300 Hz and 400 Hz:
It can be seen that with the open baffle the decay of the resonance at 750 Hz smoothes from stepped to linear at around 300 Hz.
Sure, I could have simulated this with any speaker software as well but its always interesting to have something to visualise.
And living in the Alps I got sort of addicted to that kind of pictures.
Well, it's clouded today and we had fresh snow halfway down last week

Re: Studio Monitor RAAL Ribbons
I had quite an interesting conversation with Aleksandar of RAAL, and we compared our subjective impressions of horn, ribbon, and cone driver sound. We were comparing our impressions of the dynamic character of each technology - ordinary 87~92 dB direct-radiators start to noticeably compress around 90~95 dB, sound pretty flattened-out at 100 dB, and at levels below 60~70 dB, multiway systems become murky and confused-sounding.
Aleksandar mentioned that audiophile dome tweeters, as a group, have quite different impulse and CSD responses -60 dB below the usual test levels. The rise times slow down, and drivers parameters change. This failure of the drivers in a multiway system to track dynamically - over a wide range - is why complex audiophile systems sound disjointed and muffled at low levels (background music).
I mentioned that horns, in my experience, exaggerate dynamics, sometimes just a little bit, and sometimes very obviously, when they get into a high-order distortion regime with a compression driver approaches its limits. Aleksandar mentioned that the same thing happens at low levels - there's a dynamic-expansion effect that makes quiet sounds even quieter - and this is quite a different effect than the parameter change and "murk" of auidiophile-efficiency direct-radiators at low (microwatt) levels.
The big issue with ribbons, of course, is limited linear travel in the magnetic gap, along with the possibility of ribbon destruction - or stretching - due to over-excursion from excess power. Much of Aleksandar's work has been focussed on addressing high SPL's without the usual compromise of constraining the motion of the aluminum ribbon by gluing it to stretched plastic film, which substantially degrades impulse response and distortion. The issue with all of these technologies - horn, direct-radiator, ribbons, etc. - is retaining dynamically consistent performance at microwatt and 100+ dB levels.

Very interesting observations re: dynamics. I have heard the argument before wrt high efficiency drivers (exaggerated dynamics) but can't quite imagine a mechanism that would lead to that.
Driver parameters most certainly change with drive levels but that should be happening to any kind of mechanical construction.

Another interesting topic that arose from the discussion is that horn theory relies on a true plane wave entering the horn, but in practice, the wavefront from a cone driver, or the exit from a CD phase plug, isn't very close to a plane wave. The horn doesn't magically "straighten out" the wavefront - if anything, it gets more disordered, not less, as it makes its way through the horn expansion.
I have heard a horn that was driven with a nearly perfect plane wave. The horn was a large circular Tractrix with a 3" throat, driven by a single JansZen electrostatic element. It basically sounded like you'd expect, a REALLY BIG electrostat with lots of headroom and midbass presence. In tonal terms, no horn coloration at all, but it also had some of the physically forward, in-the-room spatial perspective of large-format horns - quite different than the faraway perspective of a typical large electrostatic panel.
Aleksandar at RAAL had similar experiences with his experimental horn-loaded ribbons - the horns sounded really good, but not the same as the open ribbons, with the most of the difference being a different sense of perspective on the music. That was my take on the electrostat-horn as well - the difference between transported to the musicians, versus the musicians being in the room. Much of this is due to polar-pattern differences illuminating the local environment, but I also suspect the ear is directly sensitive to the shape of the wavefront itself. I suspect a highly curved spherical wavefront is interpreted as coming from a location nearby the listener, and as the listener moves further off-axis, the smooth curvature becomes more disrupted.
In a later conversation with John Atwood, I was mentioning how the large-format Tractrix and Le Cleac'h horns have 90-degree dispersion in the technical sense - they sound good, FR response seems all there, etc. - but the real 3D quality and hyper-vivid tonality extends to about one seat-width. So in effect, the horns have 90 degrees of high-quality sound, but only 10 degrees of super-quality sound. If you're sitting where you can see the entire surface of the driver without obstruction, that's the super-quality zone. (In my experience, at least.) In a really dialled-in top-quality horn system, the best sound is either directly on-axis - looking right smack into the drivers - or just ever so slightly off-axis, depending on how the system was set up. When you sit far enough off-axis so the drivers are no longer visible and disappear behind the curve of the horn, there's a loss of focus and precision, compared to the on-axis (or close to on-axis) listening experience.
JA and I were wondering whether this is an artifact of the rough wavefront entering the horn - it emerges reasonably intact in a narrow beam (where the horn isn't doing much), but gets more disordered further off-axis, resulting in time dispersion and small-scale irregularities in the polar pattern. Cone drivers seem to be the reverse of this - they commonly have highly directional colorations that fall in a narrow 5~10-degree window, and sound smoother, more natural, and less "megaphone-like" slightly off-axis. It's part of the reason I'm considering a 5 to 10-degree slope on the open baffle, with a separate aiming assembly for the tweeter.
It would take an interesting measurement protocol showing impulse response vs off-axis, a sort of 3D waterfall. I think JVC once did this in an early 1980's AES paper, making some interesting graphs that looked like waves breaking on a beachfront. The ribbon/horn had much nicer looking off-axis impulse response than the usual CD/horn, with the mundane dome tweeter looking best, as expected.
P.S. About the Edge simulations - you're getting close, just use a greater rake angle, maybe 200 to 250 mm of overhang, larger drivers (315 mm), even spacing between the 6 drivers, and measure at 3 and 12 meters.

Soft Costs
Not the steel of real green, sweaty presidents
mutton-chopped and fretful, no fistful of ogling
pyramids or nickel buckshot the jackpot vomits.
Not the excruciating weight of the penny lost
below that '03 Yaris in the split-level,
its corrugated edges turning the cathedral green
of Danish copper. Not even the mother of all
those popsicle kids crowding the checkout line,
who waits for the register to end its refrains
before plunging into that ludicrous purse,
slapping a checkbook open, and composing her elegy
to speed. (Behind the window of her license,
even her photo laments its holograph profile
of the state of despair they're all trapped in.)
Not any of that. Instead, think a pat of butter
slinking off a turkey thigh, the down of a cat
napping to death your comforter. Think of comfort,
of reliable excess, contentment in that numbers game,
where the tidy totals of a ledger swell blue and everywhere
leak their secrets like the squat Camembert in its balsa
coffin, stinking of success, which is the smell
of putrescence. For now, some digits in the Beatnik
rant of your mortgage papers grow tired and old,
wear their trousers rolled, order the fish at 4:30,
grow soft as the lint that gathers in your pocket,
which once belonged to your shirt and, further back,
a farmer in West Texas who at this moment
dreams of you in his plush green field.

text: Guys and Gals, I have been mowing for about 2 years part-time but it was not a legit business. Not very big, a few yards for xtra cash. But now I want to go all the way with it. However, in doing the math, it seems almost impossible to make a good profit. I know that I will need to hire help. But how do you hire help before you have the customers/income and how do you get the income with the additional help? There are so many costs associated with a legit business. Such as Taxes, licenses insurance, employees salaries, xtra equipment/supplies. So, my main question is how do I do make this business a success while making a good living? I'm thinking around 5-6k/month for my salary. Thanks, Bamafire1

Instead of Benjamin Franklin, draw your own face, your pet dog, your favorite superhero, the meanest monster you can imagine. Make up a new country, pick your own colors–design your own $100 bill.
That's a quick introduction to the Fundred Dollar Bill Project, a national art project involving several million student drawings to support the rebuilding of New Orleans.
The Nasher Museum of Art and Golden Belt are inviting local schoolchildren and members of the community to take part. People can make Fundreds on May 15 and June 19 at Golden Belt, on May 17 at the Nasher Museum's free Family Day event from 12-4 p.m., and in local classrooms. The Fundred Dollar Bills created in Durham will be on display in Golden Belt's Studio 115. When 3 million Fundreds have been collected, they will be delivered by an armored truck powered by vegetable oil (collected by local schools) to Washington, D.C.
There, artist and Fundred creator Mel Chin will request an even exchange of $3 million in real dollars from the U.S. government. The money raised will help promote better environmental conditions for communities in New Orleans through lead removal.
Juline Chevalier, curator of education at the Nasher Museum, said she is excited about this opportunity to extend the museum's reach into the community and inspire people to take part in a meaningful art project. For students, she says, personalizing currency helps to personalize the situation in New Orleans, post-hurricane Katrina. She hopes that contributions by students will show that their creative actions can make a difference.
Educators at the Nasher Museum will provide resources to area teachers to take part in the Fundred project and make connections to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Students will learn about the $100 bill, symbolism and critical thinking skills in the areas of social studies, science and visual arts.
Already, teachers at Southwest Elementary, Brogden Middle School and W.G Pearson GT Magnet Elementary have told us they plan to create Fundreds with their students.

My people just concluded the festival of Hanukkah. As we gazed at the menorah's candles each night, we recounted the great victory of the badly outnumbered Jewish Maccabees in 165 B.C.E. over the Greek Syrians, who completely had removed Judaic worship from the Temple in Jerusalem.

In the words of our prayer recited at this season: "Through the power of your spirit, O God, the weak defeated the strong, the few prevailed over the many, and the righteous were triumphant."
The message of this commemoration is really a universal one. Freedom is not automatic; it is an ongoing struggle; it has to be worked for constantly. In the early years of the Greek Empire, the Jews of Israel found their life relatively tranquil and unencumbered. Perhaps a bit complacent, they did not see their religious freedom slipping away until their lives became a nightmare under the Syrian emperor Antiochus IV. Thankfully, Judah Maccabee roused the Jewish masses out of this slumber.
more Gerson columns
Unfortunately, this lesson tragically was repeated in our own time. In September 1938, representing the Allies' appeasement policy toward Hitler and ceding the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to him, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain held up a scrap of paper and naively proclaimed it was "peace in our time." Freedom was taken for granted; standing up for it was avoided. It took a world war and millions of Allied lives to reverse this grave error.
I do believe there are signs today of more awareness of freedom's ongoing requirement of laboring for it. Granted, this past election saw much rancor and fierce division. But, a much higher percentage of Americans were interested and voted, especially young people. Hopefully, this indicates a realization liberty takes constant effort - of all kinds.
President John F. Kennedy once said: "In each generation, with toil and tears, we have to earn our heritage again. Freedom does not automatically renew itself. If we fail now, we will have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship ... freedom asks more than it gives; and God requires more of those who are most favored."
As we Jews put our menorahs and candles away for another year, this is the message that remains - for all who cherish being free.

text: Ok, so, I've been thinking of making this thread for a while now, but I always procrastinate...lol. I've been on here for a while now and I realized that I never introduced myself and that a lot of people don't know me because of that. So I decided to make this thread to introduce myself and to get a few intros from you guys even though I might know some of you. Alright so here's my introduction: I'm 16 years old, and I was born in August. I go to high school and I'm a junior. I live in Orange County, CA! I love the sunny OC (it hasn't been that sunny for the past couple of days.) I love gloomy/cloudy weather, but not all the time..(don't know why I brought that up, probably because that's how the weather has been these days.) Some people think that I'm shy but it's because I'm usually thinking and I'm almost always in a pensive mood when I'm not talking to someone. Everyone says that I smile A LOT. My math teacher makes a goofy face when I look sad or whatever but I probably look like I'm sad because I'm thinking, but when I think I concentrate a lot, so she's weird like that…lol. I like hanging out with my friends a lot and we play my Wii like all the time! Oh yeah and how can I forget, I'm like the biggest Harry Potter fan…my friends sometimes get annoyed because I talk a lot about H.P…lol. (Can't wait for the 5th Harry Potter video game for the Wii!) I've been playing video games my whole life and I loved my N64 (it passed away…long story…well, maybe not but this "autobiography" is long enough) Anyways, that's all I can think of right now, I might add some stuff later if I remember, oh yes, I that reminds me, I'm also extremely forgetful…lol. Alright, so I would like to see some of your guys' intros if you don't mind…and please don't flame me or whatever if you don't like this thread…so..yeah…now your turn! :smilewinkgrin:

Jaipur: The Jaipur Literature festival is in trouble once again. Fringe organisations have demanded that authors who read excerpts from Booker winner Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses at last year's fest be barred from attending this year's edition. There have also been protests against participation by Pakistani authors by some groups. Speaking to NDTV, Mr Rushdie said, "Let's just hope that good sense prevails."
Organisers of the annual literary event say they will not be bullied by these threats and that all invited authors will attend and be given security.
One of the organisers, Sanjoy Roy, spoke to NDTV yesterday, and said, "We will not be bullied. This is terrorism of the mind at its worst. A few people are holding everyone hostage by claiming to represent others." He went on to say that artists are targeted because they are highly visible soft targets.
"How can you allow a few people to hijack a nation's agenda again and again?" Roy asked, adding "These people tend to get away because the media tends to accentuate this terrorism of the mind."
Last year, Salman Rushdie was forced to cancel his appearance at the festival after protests and threats from fundamentalist groups. Four authors -- Ruchir Joshi, Jeet Thayil, Amitava Kumar and Hari Kunzru -- then pitched in and read excerpts from his 1988 book Satanic Verses, which is still banned in India.
The keynote address at the inaugural session on January 24 will be given by celebrated Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi, an iconic promoter of human rights and women's emancipation. The Dalai Lama will be in attendance too this year.
This year's festival will play host to diverse subjects -- the history of miniature painting and war reporting, Sharia Law and gay and lesbian literature, the Jewish novel, the 18th century sexual revolution, detective fiction and the literature of 9/11. It will also focus on new writing from Latin America and Iran.

Leo DiCaprio in Talks for the Villain in Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'
by Ethan Anderton
June 7, 2011
Source: Daeadline
After being rumored last week for a major role in the film, Deadline now reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has entered discussions to play the villain in Quentin Tarantino's new spaghetti western flick Django Unchained. The story follows a freed slave named Django who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself. Then after helping his German mentor, the two team-up to track down Django's slave wife and liberate her from a man named Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) a charming but ruthless plantation owner whom Django must cross in order to get his wife back.
More specifically, DiCaprio's despicable character runs Candyland, a club in Mississippi where female slaves are exploited as sex objects and males are pitted against each other in "mandingo" style death matches. DiCaprio was once rumored to take a role in Inglourious Basterds (coincidentally enough, the role of Hans Landa which ended up going to Christoph Waltz), but now it appears this project will be the first time he and Quentin Tarantino work together. The prospect itself a couple years back was exciting, but now that DiCaprio and Tarantino are finally collaborating, I'm absolutely stoked to see how this turns out.
As for who will play the titular hero of our story, Will Smith name is still being mentioned (as was previously reported), but names like Idris Elba (The Losers, Thor), Jamie Foxx and even Chris Tucker are being talked about. Before you cringe at the last name, remember Tarantino got a decent performance out of Tucker in Jackie Brown, so anything is possible (even if the actor hasn't done a film since Rush Hour 3). If Smith gets the role, this would be a monumentally fantastic cast coming together for such a niche genre film, that I can't help but get excited. Of course, Elba is a great actor in his own right, so we'll see what happens. Either way, Tarantino has my full attention now for sure. What about you?

Thinking about getting a Volvo V50 and am after real life opinions.
Looking at a 1.6 diesel D2 R-Design.
Thinking about getting a Volvo V50 and am after real life opinions.
Looking at a 1.6 diesel D2 R-Design.
No idea on that particular version - but we have had 3 major (over £500) repairs to the air con on our 06 one - apparently it is situated quite low down and is susceptible to stone strikes which break things !
Other than that they are great - although we have the 2.0D - 140bhp
My dad has a 2009 one (now run by my mum) which has had several issues too. 1.8 R design. Not too bad to drive but having seen all the little issues he's had with it (and the V70 he had before and the V60 he currently runs) I'd not bother.
We've had an 06 2,0d sport wagon. The alternator went in 2011 at £500 and we've had an elec issue caused by corrosion of wires in the door. Other than that it's a good car.
Oh yes the alternator went at 110K miles (£350).
Would I buy another one ? yes unless Saab make a comeback ......
They aren't anywhere near as big as you think they are or look from the outside
They aren't anywhere near as big as you think they are or look from the outside
Couldn't agree more - Ford focus size inside ?
I had one from 05 until earlier this year. I only sold it because I left the country. It was a 2.0D. A great car, one of the most comfortable I've ever owned, not big inside, drives really well, gives good MPG, no serious faults.
It is based on the Focus. hence the sizing. They share the same chassis. But I own a 2.0 D and its a great car. Much nicer than the Focus. Have driven one and thought the Volvo was leagues ahead in build quality and finish. Engine pulls well. 1.6 D is cheaper to tax but more stressed.
Got an 05 2.0D, whilst it's better than a lot of things the same size, I'm not that impressed and wouldn't have another. I like the looks and how the seats fold down, but that is about it, the rest is a bit of a disappointment. If I keep it, the bloody DPF will be getting by-passed.
The Mk3 Mondeo estate it replaced was quicker, handled a lot better and was far more economical. Neither do I expect the Volvo to reach 250k quite as easily.
If we get another car this size, it will either be a 3-series or one of the earlier Foresters. But the quality of bigger cars is much better and the cost not so much of an issue once a few years old.
Looking at a 1.6 diesel D2 R-Design.
Mrs BrownDog has one of these. It drives very well, nice and comfy and great build quality. Nothing gone wrong with it in 3 years and 20,000 miles. The 2.0D is the better engine ^^^, though my wife finds the 1.6 more than powerful enough. And if you have kids who like biscuits and a highly strung small hairy dog, you will be pleased to learn it will be the easiest car to clean that you have ever owned.
My girlfriend has a 2008 1.6D, I drive a Renault Trafic for putting muddy bikes and dog in. It drives well on long trips, we managed 4 + Skis/Snowboards up to Cairngorm (3 and a bit hours each way) in reasonable comfort. I like that it feels like a go-kart to drive compared with the van and the integrated dog-net thing stops it wandering about too much, but it is tiny inside for the length (her bike + lurcher is pushing it even with the seats down), there is something flapping (engine cover maybe) at 60mph. Also, the DPF, WTF? It's all a bit razorblade/printer cartridge business model like for my tastes.
Ive a 58 1.6 DRIVe V50, done 50k ish miles in just over 2 years in it. I really like it and £30 a year tax. Not much room in the back though, but for me, my bike and a bunch of business miles its been great.
I had a problem with the alarm randomly going off when I first got it, but dealer fixed it.
I wanted a small volvo estate, thats what it is. Still happy and intend to run it into the ground however long that takes. Children have been told to stop growing though.
You'll have a looong wait pnik, I sold my 2.0d to my brother when we emigrated 2 years ago, I'd only put 1 wheel bearing on it over and above regular service items and my brother had a new water pump put on it when he had the timing belt changed at 144k miles. It's now 8 years old and still going really well.
They're not the bigegst car but it's probably had the comfiest seats of any car I've owned. 6 hour drives are no problem.
Have a V70 1.6 R Design. Like the engine. Pulls well but short torque band. I've done 20k in 14 months. Come replacement time I might look at the D4 but happy with the D2. £30 VED / £260 insurance.
Drive hard and consumption is mid 40s. Gentle right foot and high 50s are possible. Managed 61.3mpg the other day.
Only downside is servicing at 12500miles. £250 / £400 a go.

Federal regulators have ordered the genetic testing company 23andMe to stop marketing its mail-order DNA sampling kits. The FDA says 23andMe has not proven the validity of the kit's results. 23andMe's co-founder is Anne Wojicki, the estranged wife of Google's Sergey Brin, and Google is a major backer of the company.
The website offers a mail-in service that lets you know more about your ancestry, and in turn information on your health and the future of your wellbeing. 23andMe includes analysis of a number of health conditions, diseases you might be a carrier of, and how your body might respond to specific drugs.
The FDA is worried about patients acting on false results -- getting treatment they don't need if those results are false positives, putting off doctor's visits if they get false negatives. The FDA wants to make sure 23andMe's kits do what they say they're going to do, and the agency says it doesn't have assurance from 23andMe that the test works the way the company says it does.
23andMe has 15 business days to respond to the FDA. If they don't respond in a way the FDA is happy with, the FDA may take additional action.

Anything out there with skinny legs? Almost everything else I've seen is pretty chunky looking. The Ritchey forks look pretty tight. Anything else?
IRD Mosaic
Thanks for the quick response. I was aware of that one, but discounted it because it's a little porky for a carbon/Al fork. I should have written in my OP that it would be nice to get below 500g, or something like 350g for full carbon. I guess pretty much all carbon forks ride nicely--is that even a concern these days?
I run a Ritchey on a steel frame and it looks and rides well.
The Wound up fork looks good too but is a bit heavy.

Oh, yeah. It's not light, but I think it rides well.
How skinny is skinny, to you?
I don't think they're being produced anymore, but the Bontrager Satellite forks weren't overly chunky (but almost certainly doesn't meet your desired weight). IMO, the Easton EC70 and EC90 forks look pretty decent on steel frames. EC70 doesn't meet your weight goal, but the EC90 does, just barely.
Those, the IRDs and the Ritchey forks are about all I could really find when I was looking for a carbon fork for my steel bike. Settled on the IRD because it most closely matched the geometry of the original fork.
Good luck. Let us know if you find something.
EDIT: One thing you might try, if you haven't already, is to check out a number of custom frame builders web pages. On their pricing list they usually show a couple carbon forks as options. They're likely to list something that will look good with steel.

Alpha-Q's looked good for steel to me, though they may only be available on the 'Bay now.
also - I searched around myself trying to find a slender-legged carbon fork for the Tanaka I built up for my stepdaughter. Its a Profile SC - also long out of production, but I see a few on eBay
The Columbus Minimal fork was designed for use on steel framed bikes. I have a Columbus Carve on mine and I have no complaints.
Ok thanks for the tips. In particular, LC.

My partner runs a Wound Up on her steel Seven and really likes it. Worth a look for sure.

Time Equipe Pro. Not only does it look good, it's an excellent flex match for steel frames. Most "new" forks not only look too beefy, they are too stiff, and it feels like you're riding the fork rather than a bike, if you know what i mean.
Spanky, one of the best steel frames on the planet.
That is sexy.
Did the Profile SC and Time Equipe Pro come in 1-1/8"?
It seems Columbus makes skinny forks too. It'll probably be either Ritchey or Columbus as they're both quality stuff. The frame is Columbus Foco, but I also have a few WCS parts going on this build, so the question now is how to theme it...

i believe so but they will be fairly rare. The bike originally had a Wound-Up, which was reccomended by Ibis, but it was death-stiff and destroyed the ride characteristics. The Time is no less stable but feels soooo much better IMO.
I have one on a older steel frame and it's not out of place. It's available both threaded and threadless and the price can't be beat.
Nashbar Carbon Road Bike Fork - Road Bike Forks
Nashbar Carbon Threaded Road Fork - Normal Shipping Ground
I was going to suggest looking at the Nashbar fork also. I am having a bar height issue with my old Concorde steel frame/fork bike and am considering the Nashbar fork so I can use modern stems without having to use a heavy and ugly quill stem adapter. At $89 the Nashbar fork is thin, looks good and is priced right! You can get a fork and decent headset for less than $130 shipped. Hard to beat.
I am looking at the nashbar fork for 1-1/8 thdless....want to replace the steel fork on my raleigh Rush hour fixie..
do I need all those special tools to do this? so much to buy or have bike shop install, have watched some how to videos online, seems like a lot of tool specific for this
STRAVA = http://app.strava.com/athletes/422242
Ordered the Columbus Minimal.
Dario Pegoretti's new carbon Falz fork was designed to match the looks of oversized steel. You cannot see it from this pic but the shoulders are flatish like a steel fork.
EDIT: Found a Zanconato using a Falz. There are a bunch of custom steel guys that are using Pegoretti's fork.
Very happy with the Columbus--323g cut w/crown race ain't bad either!
Nice Steel Allez Comp frame. They only made those Foco frames for a few years, '03 & '04 if I remember right. I had one just like yours & sold it. Somewhat regret that decision now. Not that it matters anymore, but that frame came with a specialized C3 or C4 carbon fork that looked pretty good. The C4 version is all carbon & was pretty light.They pop up on ebay occasionally. Anyway, nice ride. Interesting 1x10 gearing. How do you keep the chain on the single front ring from coming off when cross chained in the back?
Thanks, I just finished the build and have only taken it out once but had no problems. I'm running a singlespeed chainring up front and am hopeful the tall teeth will prevent chain drops. If not I'll pursue other options.
The ec90 road fork is pretty slender as well as light, I'm 215 and it's held up to me for around 10k fine.
If you like the looks of the wound up....that's about as skinny as you can get. Personally, I think it's butt-ugly...YMMV The pegoretti fork would be my first choice. You didn't mention what type of steel frame, lugs, tig or Fillet brazed. IMO, if it's lugged...why would you put anything other than a steel fork? If it's not, what tube sizes are being used? Len

The MultiRAE's cutting-edge PID sensor for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the ability to support over 30 electrochemical, NDIR, and catalytic sensors to detect up to five additional threats, including toxic and combustible gases, oxygen deficiency/enrichment, and carbon dioxide make the MultiRAE from RAE Systems the most advanced wireless portable chemical detector on the market. In addition, the MultiRAE's wireless capability elevates worker protection to the next level by providing safety officers real-time access to instrument readings and alarm status from any location for better visibility and faster incident response.
The MultiRAE from RAE Systems features a high end PID sensor with an increased range of 1 to 5000 ppm, a greater 0.1 ppm resolution, and a 9.8 eV lamp option and can take up to 5 additional sensors for a multitude of electrochemical, NDIR, and catalytic readings including CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), O2 (Oxygen) -both enrichment and deficiency - and other flammable or noxious gases.
Click to View MultiRAE sensors.
Using smart phone technology, the MultiRAE's LCD screen, automatically orients for easier instrument reading. This is especially helpful when working in tight confined spaces. The LCD display screen is one of the largest available in the Gas Detection industry.
Additionally, the MultiRAE meets or exceeds many standards and ratings used to test the durability and performance of instruments including the MIL-STD-810F and IP-65. Meeting the MIL-STD-810F standard shows that this rugged monitor will hold up against pretty much any type of shock, vibration or weather damage. The IP65 rating means the case is built to repel dust, dirt, non-corrosive liquids, oils and coolants.
Just like the MultiRAE Pro, RAE Systems introduced the MultiRAE with worker safety in mind. The MultiRAE allows remote safety officers access to the instruments real-time readings, as well as the alarms and status reports. Should an accident occur, this wireless communication allows a much faster response time by alerting all members of the safety team and allowing them to help on-site workers and secure the work place from toxic chemicals or gas. Also be sure to check out the MultiRAE Lite and the MultiRAE Pro, other members of the MultiRAE family.

Baseball fans are like historians in many ways. They pride themselves on being able to quote arcane stats, facts and stories. One aspect of sports collectibles that is important to many historians of the game is baseball-glove collecting. Collectors are fascinated by antique gloves that tell stories of the development of this incredible sport
Split-finger gloves are some of the most popular collectibles in this market. As their name indicates, split-finger gloves have, well, split fingers. Unlike today's glove that is one solid piece, these antique baseball gloves are like a thicker version of a glove you would use for cleaning. While a good amount of them have some form of webbing in them, there are others that have none.
Slipping on a split-finger glove sends goose bumps across my body. It takes you back to a much simpler time when steroids were unheard of and multimillion-dollar contracts didn't exist. In short, these gloves represent the purity that makes baseball such an amazing game.
Antique catcher's mitts are another interesting collectible. The early form of the catcher's mitt makes one wonder how anyone could have used it effectively. They are inflexible and difficult to use. They are the Model T of baseball gloves. By comparison, today's catcher's mitt performs like a BMW.
I think every baseball fan should visit an antique or sports collectible store that has vintage baseball gloves. It provides you with insight into the history of the game. These historical artifacts represent everything that's right with baseball. It reminds me of playing early-morning weekend Little League games as a child.
What are your favorite collectibles that remind you of the basics of baseball? Do you have any antique bats, gloves, helmets or balls? Let's hear about them in the replies!

Fight for control!
This little stage is built like a fort. It may be small, but it has a lower floor, an upper floor, two side areas, and two shelves above those side areas! Each spot has a slightly different feel. The lower floor might seem the safest, but the upper floor can be passed through (except the stairs). That means sky KOs will still work down there. Also, an unlucky hit left or right could put you through one of the open windows in the walls. Going to the side areas puts you at risk of those as well. The shelves don't make very good fighting positions, but you could throw things at people in the middle from them. The top floor is the most basic area to fight, but it isn't very big. There was more to this place than you thought, huh?

Man in custody following Arizona standoff
The suspect surrendered while police in body armor surrounded the restaurant with guns drawn
By Bob Christie
Associated Press
CHANDLER, Ariz. — An armed man involved in a standoff with Arizona authorities at a Phoenix suburban shopping center was in custody after surrending to police on Wednesday, and authorities were searchng the mall for another possible suspect, officials said.
Police did not immediately identify the man in custody or the possible second suspect.
The situation unfolded just after noon when undercover Chandler police were involved in a shooting with a robbery suspect. Police quickly evacuated the mall after the shooting, and there were no reports of injuries.
The scene later moved from the mall to a Baja Fresh fast food restaurant where armed Chandler police dressed with body armor and helmets stood behind vehicles and with guns aimed at the restaurant. The suspect surrendered Wednesday afternoon.
Witness Katie Corbin, who was inside Chandler Fashion Center at the time of the midday shooting, told KTVK-TV that people went to the back of the Victoria's Secret store after shots were fired. The upscale shopping center includes a Banana Republic, Coach, Nordstrom and other stores.
She said the situation inside the mall was "scary."
Shoppers and employees of stores and restaurants waited outside the mall on a street, and state police officers blocked access to the mall.
December Davis, 22, a waitress at the Kona Grill inside the mall, said she and others were told to drop everything and exit the shopping center. People left without their purses, cell phones and other belongings.
Witness Michael Bayne told KPHO-TV he saw police running by a kiosk inside the mall and heard gunshots.
Bayne said police told mall patrons and employees to leave the mall. The mall was then placed on lockdown.

topomapwrote a review of POC Receptor+ Helmet on March 28, 2011
Multi-functional, Good fit, Crappy goggle clip
I bought this helmet in the hope of finally having a single helmet that I could use for skiing, rock climbing, river tubing, and whatever other random activities come up.
So far I've only use it for skiing. It fits well, ventilation works well (I occasionally put my hood up because my head gets cold), and seems to do a decent job of protecting my noggin.
My only complaint so far is the goggle clip, which is a total afterthought on an otherwise well-designed helmet. It doesn't hold your goggle strap in place very well and fell off during the first wreck I had. So I ordered another one and superglued it on. The second clip has held so far, but catches on stuff in my ski bag and I expect I'll break it eventually.
One trick I have found is to use the extra velcro dots that came with the helmet to help hold my ski goggle in place. They seem to be working okay so far.
I'll give it another star in a few months if the helmet holds up well to summer use.
