There's little doubt that Marnie Stern lives up to her reputation as "the lady who shreds," but for Marnie, shredding is not enough. After putting out three critically-acclaimed albums, Marnie could have gotten away with putting out another album filled with her richly layered sound, singular frenetic finger tapping and almost philosophical lyrics. However, as anyone who has given her last few albums a good listen can tell, Marnie is not one to stand still. Instead she attacks her musical evolution with full frontal bravado, reveling in musical risk instead of relaxing in the comforts of the known. For Marnie, musical possibility drives her ambition.
Her new album, The Chronicles of Marnia, finds Marnie not only working with a new drummer (Oneida's Kid Millions), but also passionately subtracting from her normally dense song structures to craft a sound that is both familiar and wholly original. "I always gravitate towards interweaving and a more abrasive sound," Marnie said about working on the new album. "I was working with Nicholas Vernhes from Rare Book Room Recording in Brooklyn, and he was the producer. He wanted my voice clearer and fewer guitar parts. I tried it because I wanted to try something different."
Her trademark exuberant guitar work is still present, in fact, absent a few layers of grit, it's even more evident. "We stripped away a lot of the layers and a lot of unnecessary interweaving guitar parts. There's less clutter and more of staying on a part without adding too much instrumentation." Through the subtractive production process, Marnie's voice became more prominent, a fact that kind of concerns Marnie, "I get worried that I am coming across as someone who thinks they are a 'singer,' as opposed to my usual mishmash of voices that aren't always in key," she said about the album's more pronounced vocals. "I grapple with that attitude because I think it's important as a musician to try and be as proficient as possible, or try to put a lot of work into it. I suppose in my own way, I put a ton of time into singing and trying to find interesting melody ideas, I just never think of myself as having a 'nice' voice." It's an enervating change for an artist who in the past has always skillfully buried her vocals under the guitar and drum tracks.
The musical transformation evident on her new album isn't entirely unexpected, as fans who have listened to both "For Ash" and "Every Single Line Means Something" in a single sitting know. That same slow progression can be seen between 2010's self-titled album and the forthcoming The Chronicles of Marnia. Marnie can't help but laugh when thinking back on her musical evolution. "I'm sure if I went from the first album to this one, I'd have a heart attack. Luckily it's been gradual enough for me to enjoy the changes." And there's little doubt that her fans will too. Even as Marnie evolves from what Pitchfork called her "art-metal math-rock bubblegum pop" genre, fans will still find themselves jumping head first into the album and quickly bonding with the emotionally resonant material, cascading hooks and transcendental guitar riffs. Plus, the album shreds. She is Marnie Stern after all.
Many may know Sandra Vu as the face behind the kit for L.A.'s Dum Dum Girls, but that's all about to change. Back in 2009, following the dissolution of her band Midnight Movies, Sandra started writing and recording music under the name SISU (pronounced "see-soo") as a means of working through her disappointment and disillusionment. Since then, SISU has grown from a pet project to a bonafide band, with a lineup that includes guitarist Ryan Wood, drummer Nathanael Keefer, bassist Chris Stevens, and keyboardist/vocalist Jules Medeiros (also of Dum Dum Girls).
Listeners may be surprised to find that SISU offers a strikingly different sound and mood from Dum DumGirls: sparse electro beats, sinewy basslines, undulating synths, shimmering guitar, gossamer flute, and Vu's voice, floating vulnerable and breathy above it all. It's exquisite, devastating music.
The band recently wrapped up a string of East and West Coast dates opening up for Cat Power. Next week, SISU heads back out on the road with Widowspeak in support of their forthcoming EP Light Eyes, which will be released on vinyl via the newly-formed Mono Prism Records and on cassette by Burger Records on April 23.
In June, they unveil Blood Tears, their long-awaited full-length debut for Mono Prism.
According to Wikipedia, Qui was formed in 2000 in Los Angeles, CA, by drummer/vocalist Paul Christensen and guitarist/vocalist Matt Cronk.
Since their first performance in LA in early 2001 and the release of their first full-length CD, Baby Kisses, on the Minneapolis-based Heart of a Champion label in 2003, Qui (pronounced, "Qui,") maintained a prodigious pace of both local performances and national tours. Their idiosyncratic blend of punk, noise, and rock punctuated with avant-garde weirdness, coupled with their advanced musical prowess earned them a reputation for intense and often-times antagonistic shows.
In late 2006, Qui had the serendipitous good fortune to collaborate with vocalist David Yow of The Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid fame, first as a guest and eventually as a full-time member. Shortly thereafter, the trio released the single, "Today, Gestation" b/w "Freeze" on the Los Angeles-based Infrasonic Sound Recordings label. After a brief spring tour and two acclaimed performances at the South By Southwest music conference in Austin, TX, Qui partnered up with Mike Patton and Greg Werckman's Ipecac Recordings, for their second full-length release entitled, Love's Miracle, which was released on September 11, 2007. With it came a full tour of the US and Canada, followed by a trip to the UK and Europe.
After returning home from Europe in Dec of 2007, both Yow and Cronk were hospitalized with life-threatening medical conditions and were forced to cancel a planned Spring tour. The band spent the first half of 2008 licking its collective wounds and were back in action by August with a make-up tour of Europe.
In October of 2008 Qui played what would be their last two shows in the US for the next four years; at Spaceland in Los Angeles and Annie's Social Club in San Francisco with The Heroine Sheiks. During the next six months they began recording the follow-up to "Love's Miracle." The sessions resulted in The Little Golden Blanket, a limited edition seven-inch featuring two new songs, released in May 2009 on Infrasonic Sound Recordings.
In 2009 Qui was invited to play at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, England, along with Devo, Sleep, HEALTH, Harvey Milk, and for the first time in ten years, The Jesus Lizard. The rest of the year had Yow's calendar full with The Jesus Lizard's highly anticipated reunion tour, during which time Christensen focused on two new musical projects; the rock band, Help, and his staggering country/jazz/bossa nova duo, Paulene. Cronk, following a generations-old family tradition, enlisted in the US Army and was deployed to Iraq where he would serve in an elite Special Forces unit until the end of his tour of duty in 2011.
Yow has kept busy since the conclusion of The Jesus Lizard reunion in 2010. In addition to a reunion tour of Scratch Acid in 2011, he has had several solo exhibitions of his paintings in the US and Europe, started his own custom portrait website, getfaced.net, and embarked on a successful career as an actor. Yow has been cast in several films, shorts, and music videos and has a feature-length film in production.
After a roadside car bomb nearly claimed his life, Cronk received a Purple Heart and an honorable discharge from the Army in the Spring of 2011. He returned home and began once again to play music with Christensen. With no real agenda, the duo spent the better part of a year writing new music. Yow was by then fully engrossed in his new career and unable to commit to playing full-time, so Qui elected to proceed as their original line-up, with future Yow collaborations an imminent possibility, schedules permitting.
In August 2012, Qui entered Entourage Studios with renowned engineer Toshi Kasai, and Melvins drummer Dale Crover in the producers' chairs to record their third full-length release, Life, Water, Living... True to form, (or lack thereof) the new record is in many ways a departure from their earlier work, relying heavily on dual vocal harmonies and employing new instrumentation like bass guitar and keyboards. It is scheduled for release in 2013 on ORG Music. Touring and world domination will surely follow shortly thereafter.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Preserving the Harvest' started by IQhome, Nov 16, 2010.
Is there any difference in quality between these two? They are both available here.
As far as I have observed, there is no difference. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they are made by the same company.
I was thinking Kerr and Jardin were the same. To be honest I'm not sure. I guess I never really thought about it much. As long as they don't break that's all I need.
Both are made for the same company, formerly based in Muncie, Indiana. They also own the Bernardin and Golden Harvest brands. Quality for all 4 is supposed to be the same despite the latter being cheaper in price.
Ball, Kerr and Golden Harvest are all made by the same company and as far as I can tell they're the same quality but they're each slightly different shapes. One brand is a little more slender and taller and one is squattier and rounder.
Yes, they used to be separate companies but Ball bought Kerr back in I think the late 70's or early 80's.
Back in those days it was considered by many that the Ball jar was the superior product. They're really interchangeable though.
I am a journeyman die maker. The reason I say this is because people will argue the quality difference between a Chevrolet tailgate and a GMC (the more expensive vehicle) tailgate panel. I can tell you that the two are made on the same line using the same metal blanks and the same machines to form the parts. The only difference is what, in the industry, is called an "insert change". An "insert" is a section of the die that forms the panel and is unique to either the Chevrolet or GMC. Usually it is only the section that says either GMC or Chevrolet. Everything else on that panel is made the same. They pull the dies out of the line and do an "insert change" to continue on with the other style.
The same is true of glass jars. All the arguments about the difference in quality between one brand and another is only "perceived" differences. The glass is made in the same batch, the only differences are the molds - whether they say "Ball" or "Kerr" is only cosmetic.
I have for several years watched and read about peoples' "perceived" differences between the most popular brands and I have to say (finally) that it is only perceived, not actual. Tempered glass is tempered glass. It's not rocket science here, folks.
But, but, but! It's no big secret but Jarden's only owns the license to produce Ball jars. And since 1998, only the lids are made in Muncie, Indiana. The jars are made by various other glass companies. I suspect that the 3 main brands are made in the same factories for distribution in certain areas rather than transporting them for a thousand miles. If so, it would merely amount to changing molds and continue on making a different brand.
Then why are the Golden Harvest jars so much lighter in weight?
If you weigh the new Ball and Golden Harvest jars, they should weigh the same. The pints were identical weight several years ago. However, haven't had to buy any the past two years and thus can't confirm if there's been a recent change. If you have new of both, and a good scale, weigh them and report here.
The Balls often had a second cheaper line and for some years it was Drey's. Laughed all the way to the bank because no matter which was bought, they made money!
When I first started using Golden Harvest jars in the early 80's, they were made in California. Earlier this year, due to someone chastising the "inferior quality" of the Golden Harvest jars, I contacted the manufacturer and asked if the jars were still made in California and got a response from them saying "No, they are made right here with the other jars." The company rep said the only difference was in the packaging. I will search my computer and see if I can dredge up the email.
That makes sense. I have to confess after reading about some of the "heavier jars" from yesteryear, I weighed one of the old pints and compared it to a brand new one. The weight of the new one was actually a fraction of an ounce heavier.
And since we know that a pint is still a pint, and the size of the lids haven't changed, presumably that idea that the old ones were heavier is just perception.
Doesn't make me want to give up my oldie but goodies though.
Old ones indeed were much heavier. Just weighed 5 pint jars. Atlas from the 1940s weighs 11½ ounces. Square Ball from same period weighs 10½. Golden Harvest from several years ago is 9. Kerr from this year is 9. Ball from several years ago is 8½. Lowest I ever found with old mayo jars was 9½.
Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Wide mouth jars weigh more than regular mouth jars.
Kerr widemouth, new this year, 9 ounces.

Xf1 and x10

Did you examine the full size images?
Yes I did.
After downloading, they're 4.5mb and 4.6mb. What I found was that the X10's image was much more detailed on the left side, only slightly better in the center, and the XF1 showed more detail on the right side. Holy crap.
I did not see that. Guess I should look again and squint more.
Did you look at other ISO values other than 100?
No, only ISO 100. I'd say the differences were fairly large and hard to miss, but not huge. The difference between either of these and any of the F##EXR cameras would probably be huge. If you quickly toggle between the two images looking at the same parts of the images, it's easy to see. If you just look at one image and scroll around, getting an idea of how good (or bad) the image looks and then do the same with the other, it's probably easier to 'remember' them looking similar. I'd say that the round "PS 69 PROPORTIONAL SCALE" on the lower right side of the Still Life 100 photos may not actually be sharper in the XF1 photo, but it looks a lot better due to it having greater contrast. On the other hand, from the left side to the center, the X10's image definitely shows more detail, and I didn't have to squint or use glasses to see the difference.
Something else that I noticed is that I didn't have to use the downloaded images to see the differences, because looking at the full sized images in Firefox made them HUGE. Irfanview had to enlarge the images to almost 174% to get the same magnification as Firefox. If you look at the multi-colored fabric swatches on the upper left side, the X10's image shows detail that's completely missing from the XF1's photo.
Those were pretty much my conclusions as well -but- overall the X10 is doing better and let's not forget that one gives up the faster lens of the X10 for the pocketability of the XF1 - but for low light at wide angle the XF1 is a nice travel companion.

James Franco Totally Loves Anne Hathaway, But Also Understands Why People Hate Her
Last night James Franco went on Howard Stern's radio show to talk about Anne Hathaway. Or maybe that's not why he went, but that's what ended up happening. One thing led to another and before anyone understood what was going on, James Franco was speaking out on behalf of the International Hathahaters Club.
Not because he hates Anne – they totally made up after that silly little Oscars hosting gig that he slept through a few years back– but because he understands why people may feel turn into rabid animals upon the mere mention of her name.
Everyone sort of hates Anne Hathaway, and I've explained that I do too and I don't know even know why sometimes," Stern explained. "She's just so affected [and] actress-y that even when she wins an award she's out of breath, and then she has the standard joke that sounds like it's [been] written [for her]. And it all seems so scripted and acted."
"She comes off like the goody two-shoes actress and it's just fun to sort of hate her," the radio host added. "Hate is a strong word . . . but [I] dislike her, even though she is a great actress. Is that accurate?"
"I'm not an expert on — I guess they're called 'Hatha-haters'– but I think that's what maybe triggers it," Franco agreed.
While I'm sure it proved very difficult for James Franco to admit he's not an expert on Hathahaters, I appreciate his honesty on this very sensitive topic. Why he could have sat there in that interview chair and pretended like he knew the ins and outs of the Hathahaters. That he understood the way they foam at the mouth when Princess Diaries plays on TV, and the way that they gather in basements during full moons and do ritualistic dances as Rachel Getting Married dvds burn in their bonfire. But he didn't.
He just went out there and agreed that everyone hates Anne Hathaway because she's Anne Hathaway. Which really, if we're going to be honest here, is the noble thing for him to do. After all, he knows her better than any of us. They did host-ish the Oscars together. And he does tell Howard that she did forgive him for ruining the Oscars. And she's certainly going to forgive him for reminding the world that the term Hathahaters exists weeks after people stopped using it.
So all in all, high fives for James for an excellent interview!

Braza Response: Thank you for the feedback regarding our product. We apologize you had a negative experience with this style.
Yara from Richmond Hill
HerRoom Response: We have emailed the vendor to see if we could gain a better knowledge as to why these are not working for DD cups. As far as returning underwear is concerned, please take a look at our Return Policy. As you can see we do have a long checklist that I can personally assure you, we do extensive testing and examination on every returned item.
Apollonia from Randolph, MA USA
HerRoom Response: Thank you for your feedback, I think you should definitely give the Braza brand a try again and try their Reveal Silicone Bra 7800. These have a more "natural tone" to them so they will not show through your dress. I feel these might give you the natural feel you might be looking for.

Pepper Power
To the Editors: As a native of Florida, I never appreciated Congressman Claude Pepper [April 25]. However, the nearer I get to 65, the more I value him.
William M. Mirsky Houston
Instead of praising Pepper, you should damn him! His "unshakable New Deal liberalism" is a major perpetrator of inflation, the aged's worst enemy. Further, his catering to the seniors at the expense of other needy groups typifies special-interest politics at its worst.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama's move away from centering foreign policy on anti-terrorism will be more effective than the old strategy, his counter-terrorism chief said.
"The fight against terrorists and violent extremists has been returned to its right and proper place: no longer defining -- indeed, distorting -- our entire national security and foreign policy, but rather serving as a vital part of those larger policies," John Brennan, the senior counter-terrorism adviser to the president, said Thursday in a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Brennan did not mention George W. Bush or Dick Cheney. But his speech in many ways amounted to an attack on the previous administration's policies and on Cheney's recent criticism of Obama. Brennan said waterboarding and similar interrogation techniques did more harm than good.
"They are a recruitment bonanza for terrorists, increase the determination of our enemies and decrease the willingness of other nations to cooperate with us," he said. "In short, they undermine our national security."
Obama is pursuing the short-term goal of ending the threat from al-Qaida and a long-term fight against extremist violence as part of a larger and more nuanced foreign policy, Brennan said.

Ice conditions are unsafe.
Iowa Lake
There are six inches of good ice reported on much of the lake; however, the south end of the lake is open. Use caution if venturing out.
Kent Park Lake
The lower end of the lake has poor edges and some open water. There has not been fishing activity lately and fishing is not recommended.
Lake Macbride

Otter Creek Lake
Shorelines are poor in many places and some open water mainly on the east shoreline. There is still reported fishable ice on the main lake, however, use caution if going out.

Local produce of the Coral Coast
The fresh local produce of Western Australia's Coral Coast is a taste sensation that's not to be missed. No matter where or how you choose to dine, be sure to sample some of the region's great flavours.
A thriving commercial fishing industry adds a huge variety of seafood to the fresh local produce platter of Western Australia's Coral Coast. During the lobster fishing season, from November to June, the waters between
burst into life as one of the country's premier fishing fleets bring in their catch of the day.
A short drive from Geraldton, at the foot of the Moresby Ranges, you'll discover the
Chapman Valley
, home to some fantastic wineries and olive groves.

Iron Man Mark V (11)SKU: 653569504481 Price: $24.99 Write a review | No reviews for this product.
The one drawback to the Iron Man armor is that it isn't very portable, so it's only available when Tony Stark is home. That's why he invented the Suitcase Armor. Though not as powerful as other suits, it's light and compact enough to take almost anywhere, concealed in a simple suitcase.
Suitcase becomes missile launcher.
Includes 3 armor cards.

SYDNEY, 31 August - Led by Perth Heat catcher and utility man Matt Kennelly, four current and former Australian Baseball League players were named to rosters of the prestigious Arizona Fall League as announced by Major League Baseball this week. Kennelly will be joined by former Canberra Cavalry infielders Donald Lutz and Didi Gregorious, both of the Cincinnati Reds, as well as Canberra outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, a Tampa Bay Rays farmhand, on AFL rosters.
The Arizona Fall League, Major League Baseball's premier Stateside offseason showcase league for minor league players, is entering its 20th season. Comprised of six teams, each with five major league partners, players are selected by their parent clubs to compete in the star-studded circuit. Past players to take part in the AFL include Derek Jeter, Todd Helton, Albert Pujols, Stephen Strasburg, and Bryce Harper.
Kennelly, assigned to the Phoenix Desert Dogs by his Atlanta Braves parent club, is in his sixth season in affiliated baseball in the United States. Signed by the Braves as an 18-year-old in 2007, Kennelly has steadily climbed the ranks in Atlanta's minor league system, playing this season with the Double-A Mississippi Braves. Strictly a catcher in the US, the now-23-year-old has played multiple positions during his two ABL seasons with the Heat, with starts in both right and left field as well as time at first base.
This year with Mississippi, Matt, the brother of reigning ABL Helms Award winner Tim, is batting .262 with a home run and 22 runs batted in. Kennelly has also played stellar defense for the M-Braves, committing just two errors in 55 games behind the plate and throwing out nearly a quarter of potential basestealers against him. In two ABL seasons, Kennelly has batted a combined .301 to help lead his Heat to back-to-back Claxton Shield titles. One of five sons in a sporting family, Matt is one of four signed to professional baseball contracts. Older brother Tim plays for the Philadelphia Phillies organisation while younger brothers Josh and Sam are just embarking on their professional careers after both signing contracts this year; Josh with the Cincinnati Reds and Sam with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Joining Kennelly on Phoenix's roster will be 2011/12 Canberra outfielder Kiermaier, a minor league prospect of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays drafted Kiermaier in the 31st round of 2010, and this season, he has played 57 games for the Class A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs of the Florida State League. In somewhat limited action, Kiermaier has batted .260 while spending most of his time manning centre field. Last season, the Fort Wayne, Indiana native played in 17 contests for the Cavalry, batting .303 and scoring 16 runs.
Two other international players with ABL time, Lutz and Gregorius were both a part of the Cavalry's inaugural season roster and both made big impacts on their ABL club. Lutz, a power-hitting first baseman and outfielder from Germany, has split time this season between the Advanced A Bakersfield Blaze and Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos, batting a combined .267 with 22 home runs and 70 runs batted in over 102 total games. Lutz batted .260 and cranked five home runs while driving in 21 runs over 29 games for the Cavalry in 2010/11.
Amsterdam, Netherlands native Gregorius turned heads this year in a breakout season that has seen him reach Triple-A for the first time. Between Pensacola and the Triple-A Louisville Bats, the 22-year-old slick-fielding shortstop is batting .264 with seven home runs, 54 runs batted in, and 70 runs scored in 128 total games. While with the Cavs, Gregorius played in 36 games and was named the 2010/11 ABL Golden Glove Award recipient. Both Cincinnati Reds prospects, Lutz and Gregorius are vying to be among a limited number of European players to crack the MLB ranks.
The third season of Australian Baseball League action kicks off on Thursday, 1 November when the Adelaide Bite host the Alcohol Think Again Perth Heat at Coopers Stadium in Adelaide for the first in a three-game set. Also on Opening Weekend, the Sydney Blue Sox travel to the capital to take on the Canberra Cavalry for a three-game series beginning on Friday, 2 November at Narrabundah Ballpark.

Defending Embedded Systems With Software Symbiotes
A large number of embedded devices on the internet, such as routers and VOIP phones, are typically ripe for exploitation. Little to no defensive technology, such as AV scanners or IDS's, are available to protect these devices. The authors propose a host-based defense mechanism, which they call Symbiotic Embedded Machines (SEM), that is specifically designed to inject intrusion detection functionality into the firmware of the device. A SEM or simply the Symbiote, may be injected into deployed legacy embedded systems with no disruption to the operation of the device. A Symbiote is a code structure embedded in situ into the firmware of an embedded system.

On the seventh day of Passover, the Jews crossed the Red Sea and into freedom. In light of the recent Kansas City killings, shouldn't American Jews start crossing the Atlantic and home to Israel?
When you were a kid, you probably spent hours completely absorbed in playtime. Maybe you were alone, imagining you were an astronaut in outer space. Maybe you and your friends conquered far-off lands as pirates sailing on the high seas. Whatever you played, there was one thing I'm pretty sure we all went through: the unfortunate end of playtime. No matter how many hours we played, it was never enough time, and "five more minutes" ended up in another hour of extended play. By the second overtime, our parents were usually so mad, that they literally had to drag us, kicking and screaming, to the dinner table, bath, or the dreaded homework. The lucky ones got dragged by the arm. The not-so-lucky ones probably got the twisty ear treatment or the complementary hair extension treatment, guaranteed to make your hair ½" longer each and every time!
As adults, is it easier to pry us away from our playtime? I don't think so. I think it's even harder, and our Father is getting pretty fed up with us. Specifically, I am referring to our general unwillingness to return home to Israel. I know, many of you are like, "Here we go again with the aliyah nonsense. Enough already! We'll come when Moshiach gets here!" Hellooo, people, wake up! The point is not to wait until Moshiach comes- the whole point of the "ingathering of the exiles" is to bring our Redemption that much closer!
I realize there are many reasons why many Jews don't want to make aliya at this point. One reason is because of the comfortable lifestyle we have gotten used to. This is exactly like telling Hashem, "But Abbbaaa, I'm not ready to leave! I still have to make more money! I still have to live in my big house and drive around my overpriced, oversized SUV! I still have hours and hours of time to waste watching "Dancing With The Stars"! I still have to shop for overpriced clothing and go out for dinners that will end up in the toilet! I DON'T WANNA GO!!" And then there's the very convincing family reason: "Hashem, my parents are still here! My grandparents would be heartbroken if I take their great-grandchildren away!" The hardest reason is the financial inability to make aliyah. I understand that it is a huge expense, and for those that can't make aliyah because they can't afford it, I encourage you to keep praying for it and to be a part of our Outreach movement. Spread the word of emuna through books and CD's, and you have Rabbi Arush's and Rabbi Brody's blessing for every salvation in your life.
Don't think that the Kansas City killings at the local JCC is something new. I'm going to present you with several highlights that have happened over the last few years, and I invite you to come to your own conclusion. The world is changing, literally turning upside-down right before our eyes. The problem is that most of us walk around with our eyes closed, but not for the right reasons. We close our eyes because we don't want to see the reality that has creeped up right under our noses. We think that if we don't see it, it will go away. Unfortunately, our ostrich mentality is allowing things to get worse. Let's begin:
Do you recall the earthquake that struck in Washington, D.C. last August? Its tremors were felt all the way to New York. Most of us realize what an anomaly it was to have an earthquake on the East Coast. They happen in California, not in Washington, D.C.! And what about Hurricane Irene last August as well? When's the last time you heard of a hurricane hitting New York??
All across the U.S., areas were getting slammed with severe weather. Droughts throughout the summer decimated staple crops such as corn and soybean, and food prices will continue to rise significantly in 2013. Places where it rarely snowed, such as Arizona, were getting snow, while typically snowy places such as Chicago were seeing record highs last winter. In the past year, over 739 tornadoes hit throughout the country, and the year isn't over yet! In the middle of the summer, Dallas and Colorado had hailstorms! The hail was almost the size of a tennis ball, and parts of Colorado were literally flooded with ice in June! If you watch this video, notice the strange looking cloud hanging over Ocean City, New Jersey. To me, it looked like an ominous warning, because just 5 months later, that city was flooded by the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy.
Just a few weeks ago, New York and New Jersey were the center of the worst devastation to hit the North East in recent history when they were hit by the Frankenstorm- a combination of Hurricane Sandy and a nor'easter. Can you imagine? Ahurricane colliding with a snowstorm?? It's completely absurd!This storm caused an estimated $50 Billion worth of damage. For weeks, many people suffered in the winter weather without power, gas, and food. Even two weeks later, many homes didn't have their power restored, and lines for gas were blocks long. Long Island was literally in the dark. Where was FEMA to be found? More on that later…
Everyone can see that the world is going crazy. Even the animals are going crazy! Since 2011, there have been repeated instances of mass animal death: tens of thousands of birds just dropping out of the sky, millions of fish washing ashore, bees dying in large colonies, even cows dying by the hundreds- and scientists can't understand why. In California, there was a massive locust invasion last June.
There have been other strange phenomena occurring as well. Large bodies of water, such as the Yangtze River in China, have suddenly turned a blood-red. This scary sight also happened in many other places, such as Texas and Ohio. There was even a "bloody" waterfall in Antarctica! Scientists still haven't figured out what is causing the water to turn red (Red Tide has been ruled out).
It's as if the Ten Plagues are happening all over again. We see the water turning to blood, frog invasions (recently, several cities in China were overrun by small frogs), unexplained animal deaths (which looks an awful lot like Pestilence), Hail, and Locusts (like the millions that just landed in Herald, California). The Northeast has been struck by the plague of Darkness, with the prolonged power outages that literally incapacitated millions of people in several states for weeks.
Strange, isn't it?
Regarding the recent Frankenstorm, we must ask ourselves what messages Hashem is trying to send us. Could it be that all of the urging by the Gedolim to make aliyah has some validity? I think so. Could it be that Hashem is getting fed up with our extended and increasingly unwelcome stay in the United States and other parts of the world? I think so. Many people have lost everything they owned in the recent storm. Where is the mercy in this? How is this for the best? One of my thoughts on this question is that Hashem may be trying to get the Jews out of the U.S. because He knows what's coming in the near future, and by forcing them to choose between rebuilding or leaving, He's saving them from a far worse situation later.
It's time to come home.

Hi i have some kind of a problem here with my Dell Inspiron N5110. It say's that there is a Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 inside. But when i instal it, go to control panel and graphics settings there is a "red triangle" like a warning sign for graphics driver. But when i instal one of two drivers that are offered on Dell web site, there is no "red triangle" but the picture is blurry.
Also with this now, when i play games, even older game that does not require very strong system i have "lags", but before i was reinstaled OS i didnt have that problem. I played games normaly, even new games like Battlefield and similar that require pretty strong PC.
So if anyone could help me with "red triangle" and graphic driver problem, please help. I would be grateful.
Hi mVujic92,
After a clean installation of the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, you must install the following drivers / software packages in the below mentioned order:
Network and WLAN/Bluetooth
Media Card Reader
Dell Quickset Utility
Drivers can be downloaded from www.support.dell.com
This should help in rectifying the conflict which might have caused this issue with the video card drivers. Also, if the OS was not installed properly you might have to reinstall it.
May I know the reason for which you installed the operating system? Also, did you install this driver for the video card: (R303142.exe (61MB))?
Let me know your findings. Glad to assist.

You can reach us at http://en.community.dell.com/
Well, OS was installed properly and everything works fine, but then i have to dowload AutoCAD for my college and i searched for cracked version with activator for AutoDesk so i think i downloaded some viruses or something like that , so i decided to reinstal OS.
When i instaled new OS it is installed properly but i didnt instal driver by order you mention, i just download all drivers i found for my laptop and instal, i cant remember the order but it was random instalation. Well now i know that i must instal drivers by order and thanks for that.
And yes, when i downloaded graphics card driver, driver folder is named "R303142" i still have all drivers on my local disc.
And one more question, did driver "R303142" is good for my Dell or i instaled wrong one?
Thank you for replying.
Yes, this is the right driver for your system.
Hi All
I have a problem with the same machine but with core
"System Model: Inspiron N5110
BIOS: BIOS Date: 07/18/11 15:25:00 Ver: 04.06.04
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
I have one HD 3000 Driver installed and then there is is another driver in the display called the Standard VGA Driver with a yellow mark in the window devices and says it does not work. I have the latest version of the intel hd drivers installed but even then it make the same error.
Also If I connect my HDMI to my Sony TV it does not work

3B/DH FA 5 years ago
Pedro Alvarez (wrist) was not even available to pinch-hit on Wednesday night against the Reds.
Alvarez began experiencing sudden soreness in his right wrist on Wednesday afternoon and had to be scratched from the starting lineup. It got bad enough by first pitch that he was also ruled out of a bench role. The third baseman will presumably undergo some tests on Thursday.

Welcome to the Style Suite with Kéla Walker, your source for fashion and style trends for power plays in the workplace. Every Tuesday and Thursday, she'll share tips and suggestions to help maximize your style on a budget. Whether you're the style devil in Prada or the apprentice with limited apparel, you'll find something in the Style Suite to suit your needs.
There's nothing like seeing a well-dressed professionista pulled together from head to toe in a look that can seal the deal upon arrival. On the flip side, it can be quite painstaking to see an impeccably dressed woman who's failed to connect her look with that all too important accessory: her purse. And not just any purse, but the right purse.
It sounds like a small factor, but all too often women forget about this essential detail that compliments and completes every look. Not every purse is created equal, and for good reason. What may be good for the club or church may not be OK for work. And just because you have to schlep your entire workload with you daily, doesn't mean you can't look stylish while doing so.
It's best to look for bags with both functionality and fashion. Oftentimes, one is sacrificed for the sake of the other, which means you're going to end up paying for it the long haul. Don't! There are plenty of bags on the market that can fit your files, laptop, makeup kit and more and still look good. They may require a little more money and research to find but it will be worth it.
- Consider a bag with versatility like a crossbody bag. Because we must carry everything plus the kitchen sink with us at all times, your purse becomes really heavy over time, leading you to rely on carrying several smaller bags at once to lighten the load. Instead of looking like a bag lady, consider a purse that offers a variety of ways to carry it. A satchel with a crossbody strap can be carried several ways from the arm to the shoulder and across the body and allows you to distribute the weight of your load.
- If it's important for you to carry a separate bag for your laptop, stay away from those old black, nylon bags. Try a computer bag that's fun, cool and speaks to your personality. There's no reason you have to tote your electronics around in a mundane bag.
- Express your personality. I say it all the time about your clothes and the same rings true for your purse.
Bags are always the easiest way to express your creativity and personality in the workplace, so don't leave this accessory as an afterthought. Choose sleek, sophisticated styles that will complement your look. It may sound funny but pairing the right bag with the right look shows you know how to handle your business—-well, at least in the Style Suite.

White Sox Seek 100
The Chicago White Sox are not scoring many runs, but their starting pitching has prevented that from being a problem of late.
On the verge of his 100th victory, Mark Buehrle looks to give the White Sox another strong outing as they go for their fourth straight win Saturday night when they continue their series with the visiting Kansas City Royals.
Oddsmakers have made Chicago -210 money line favorites (MLB Odds) for todays game, the over/under has been set at 9ev total runs (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 72% of bets for this game have been placed on Chicago -210 (View MLB Bet Percentages).
Jon Garland allowed one run in 8 1-3 innings of Chicago's 2-1 victory in Friday's series opener. Over the last four games, White Sox starters have allowed three runs in 31 innings.
"All five of them have done a great job of going as deep as they can,'' catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of the starters, who have gone at least six innings in 17 straight starts. "They're inning-eaters."
Pierzynski homered and Darin Erstad drove in the other run for the White Sox, who had only five hits.
Chicago has scored just 11 runs during its three-game winning streak. The White Sox (17-15) are two games above .500 despite hitting a major-league worst .222.
"I'm happy where we are right now,'' Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. "But it's like every time we win, it's like, 'Oh my god.' Because we expect a lot out of our offense and it hasn't showed up yet.''
While Chicago has struggled at the plate, Pierzynski is batting .412 (7-for-17) with two homers and five RBIs in his last five games.
Buehrle (2-1, 3.22 ERA) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings Sunday, but did not factor in the decision of Chicago's 10-inning, 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
The left-hander, who is 99-67 in eight seasons, allowed three runs in seven innings to pick up the win at Kansas City on April 23. Buehrle is 16-6 with a 3.28 ERA in 31 games- 29 starts - against Kansas City, including wins in his last three decisions against the Royals.
Mark Grudzielanek's double in the ninth drove in the lone run for the Royals (11-25), who have lost six of seven and opened their 10-game road trip with a defeat.
"We gave it a run as usual,'' Grudzielanek said. "We're just a little short. It's always one little play or a hit short of winning the ballgame.''
The Royals hope Scott Elarton will give them a boost Saturday when he makes his 2007 debut. Elarton went 4-9 with a 5.34 ERA in 2006, then underwent offseason shoulder surgery.
The right-hander suffered through a disappointing first season with the Royals in 2006, allowing 26 homers while recording more walks (52) than strikeouts (49) in his 20 starts.
Elarton allowed two runs in 5 2-3 innings and walked five in a start for Double-A Wichita last week.
"I felt good. I fell out of rhythm a couple of times and walked two guys in a row twice, but I felt good, two runs and six innings, I'll take that," Elarton told the Royals' official Web site.
He is 2-4 with a 3.73 ERA in 13 career games - 10 starts - against the White Sox.

A man arrested following a double-fatal accident is in the Jefferson County Jail. Ines Lagarda, 38, of Sour Lake, arrived at the jail just before 4 p.m. Monday.
DPS investigators say additional charges could be filed against Legarda as well as his unidentified friend in Winnie. He is already charged with manslaughter. His bond is set at $750,000.
Todd Holtzclaw recalled the final conversation that he had with his wife on Saturday evening.
"She took the baby to bed, and I stayed up and finished watching football," he said. "Then, I came in and told her goodnight and I live her."
"Alyssa was the greatest person I knew," he added. "She lived to take care of those kids."
At around 6 a.m. Sunday, Alyssa left her sour Lake home with her infant son, Jacob. The two were headed to her mother-in-law's home in Beaumont when investigators say Legarda crossed over the center line colliding with the side of their suv.
"She was going to drop him (Jacob) off and go to work," he said as he fought back tears. "After work, she was going to meet us for dinner and football."
"He killed a wonderful woman, and he murdered a beautiful baby boy," he added. "To be honest, Alyssa was so wonderful;she was such a great mother. It's going to take a lot of people to replace her."
Since 2003, Alyssa worked as a radiology technologist at Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont. Her co-workers remember her as a great woman who always put her children first.
"She was a very hard worker and optimistic woman with a beautiful smile," said Janice Clark, who was Alyssa's friend and supervisor at Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont. " She would do anything for those three boys."
Lagarda left the scene but was arrested around 3 p.m. in Winnie. He has been charged with Manslaughter but charges could be upgraded pending an investigation.
Bond for Lagarda is set at $750,000.
Alyssa Holtzclaw is survived by her husband and 2 small children.
Broussard's Mortuary is handling the funeral service.

" Genre: Indie Rock & Punk - Grunge / Artist: Alice in Chains / Import / Audio CD released 2001-12-10 at Columbia "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Released in 1992, the second album by Seattle grunge band Alice in Chains, Dirt would shape the band's career and lives more than they could have ever imagined. An altogether heavier, darker and less radio-friendly effort than the band's 1990 debut Facelift, Dirt's blatant drug influences are all too obvious with the band's substance dependence ultimately contributing to the departure of one band member, and the tragic death of lead singer Layne Staley, in what has often been described as the "world's longest suicide."
But just to talk about their drug use would be doing them a huge injustice, because in Dirt the band found themselves with a monster hit which, despite its dark themes, gathered huge amounts of airtime, earned them a money spinning world tour and a place on the Lollapalooza bill. With the pounding riffs of songs like Them Bones, Dam That River and Junkhead, interspersed with more poignant efforts like Down in a Hole, Rain When I Die and Rooster, the band found themselves admired and respected by huge metal bands like Metallica and Slayer, not to mention adored by a fiercely loyal fan base, and it seemed like Alice in Chains were about to take over the world. Unfortunately, that never quite happened. But make no mistake, this was the album that could and should have taken them there, and it still sounds as fresh today as it always did.
In recent years, Alice in Chains has reformed with new singer William DuVall, performed featuring a host of guest musicians including James Hetfield, Phil Anselmo, Maynard James Keenan, and Sebastian Bach (see, I told you they were liked), and even released the new album Black Gives Way to Blue. I think the band always felt that their story wasn't written and that there was unfinished business to conduct. Personally, I couldn't be happier, because if the new albums are anywhere near as good as this, fans of rock music have some treats awaiting them.
Drugs and music: on the one hand you've got Brian Wilson's shiny LSD infused timeless pop classics, on the other hand you've got guttural, heroin ravaged darkness begging for the light at the end of an increasingly bleak tunnel. Enter Alice in Chains, and their second, darkest effort Dirt.
Every song on this album positively stinks of junk, but somehow the theme and the music are a perfect match. It's an unforgiving experience, opening unkindly with Them Bones. It's akin to being jabbed and shouted at whilst you were just nodding off, and sets the lyrical tone for the album ("I feel so alone, gonna end up a big old pile of them bones"). Dam that River is a punching presence amongst the gloom, until Rain When I Die pours further misery into the speakers with its wailing vocals and wah.
Rooster, with its Vietnam imagery, is a crushing anthem, offering a brief respite from the drudgery of addiction before we get Junkhead, the title track, and God Smack. The real jewels in this crown though are Down in a Hole, a desperate ballad of hopelessness, and the closing Would?, a surprise given its brooding unorthodox structure.
Harrowing yet compelling, it's an album you come back to time and time again, despite feeling like a queasy voyeur. A masterclass in misery.
Released back in 1992, Alice in Chains' second full length 'Dirt' is a brilliantly-executed mix of grunge, alt rock and metal, bolstered by warm acoustic passages and bluesy/classic rock guitar solos. The self-pitying lyrics deal with the issues of severe drug addiction, painful relationships, and feelings of worthlessness and resignation, and whilst they do on occasion slip into cliché they still manage to come across as disarmingly honest and emotionally powerful. Frontman Layne Staley would eventually be found dead from an overdose in his apartment a decade later following years of steadily declining health, making the album seem incredibly poignant as Layne tries to come to terms with his addiction and the premature death that he seems to view as being inevitable.
Every song on the album has its own unique sense of character, and there is inventiveness present throughout, the songs leaping from crushing, doomy black-sabbath like riffs one minute to rock ballad-like sections the next, with Layne's pained singing frequently harmonising with the vocals of guitarist Jerry Cantrell and imaginative multi-layered vocal arrangements by Staley employed throughout. Comparisions to Nirvana are inevitable, but for my money Alice in Chains are by far the better band, and 'Dirt' is a classic album and a must for rock and metal fans everywhere.

This 'white knight' will take his sword to Five
The economics of TV are simple but gruesome, as Richard Desmond is about to find out
Before Channel Five launched, in 1997, the media industry's favourite banker, Anthony Fry, predicted that it would be worth £1 billion if it avoided the pursuit of prizes. "At the first sign of a Bafta," he told investors, "head for the hills!"
Five has rarely been in danger of winning awards for content, but duly hit the £1 billion valuation early in 2000 when an 18 per cent stake was sold for £277 million cash to the other shareholders, led by RTL. RTL then bought out everyone else. In selling the business to Richard Desmond for £103.5 million, it has crystallised a total loss of more than £1.1 billion: nice people, but inept owners.
I have no doubt that Mr Desmond will make a financial…

Former International Monetary Fund deputy director Dr Donal Donovan has said he has changed his mind about the merits of an Oireachtas banking inquiry.
In the past, Dr Donovan had said there was no point to a banking inquiry.
But speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he said he now believes there is a need for the public to see and hear from those involved in order to make the issues more accessible.
"I don't think there will be any smoking guns or conspiracies uncovered. But people are suspicious and they need to hear from those involved," he said.
Although maintaining that no major substantive information will come from an inquiry, Dr Donovan said the inquiry is a possibility for people who were responsible for major mistakes to explain why they did what they did.
He said he believed a "small number" of informed people should conduct the inquiry, but the exact details was a political decision.
Dr Donovan said the inquiry would centre on complicated issues that could not be addressed with short five-minute speeches.
Earlier this month, the Government approved plans for an Oireachtas banking inquiry. The inquiry will look at the bank guarantee and events leading up to it, the role of banks and auditors, and the role of State institutions.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny said the Government will ensure that the probe is well-resourced and has the full co-operation of State institutions. He said it would also have regard for impending criminal trials.
Elsewhere, the author of a key report into Ireland's banking collapse expressed doubts as to whether an Oireachtas banking inquiry would bring any new information into the public domain.
Peter Nyberg, who produced his Government-commissioned report in 2011, also said a repeat of the European financial crisis is a very real risk.
"I would be pretty surprised if the parliamentary inquiry would uncover something new," Mr Nyberg said over the weekend.
The former Finnish finance ministry director-general believed that the reason those interviewed for his 2011 report were prepared to co-operate fully was the condition of anonymity they were offered.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — El Niño, the Pacific-driven climate pattern that seemed to offer New Mexico some hope of drought relief in the coming winter, continues to sputter. The latest monthly federal forecast, out this morning (Thurs. 10/4/12), concludes that we may not get one at all. And if we do, it's likely to be less than robust:
Due to the recent slowdown in the development of El Niño, it is not clear whether a fully coupled El Niño will emerge. The majority of models indicate that borderline ENSO-neutral/ weak El Niño conditions will continue, and about half suggest that El Niño could develop, but remain weak…. The official forecast therefore favors the continuation of borderline ENSO-neutral/ weak El Niño conditions into Northern Hemisphere winter 2012-13, with the possibility of strengthening during the next few months.
What does that mean here? The forecasters have already incorporated the limping El Niño into their latest outlooks, which I wrote about two weeks ago, so today's outlook update, while grim, is not exactly news:
A New Mexico drought that is already by one measure the worst since the 1950s is not likely to relinquish its grip on the state until at least December, according to a new federal forecast.
Water managers had hopes for El Niño, a climate pattern that tips the odds toward wetter weather in the Southwest. But El Niño has been slow in arriving, said Dave Miskus with the federal Climate Prediction Center in Maryland.
"It hasn't developed as quickly as they thought it would," Miskus said in a telephone interview.
Here's the map:

Angus T. Jones Speaks Out on 'Two and a Half Men' Controversy
And now, a reading from the first letter of Angus T. Jones, to the media.
After a veritable maelstrom over his recent video interview — where the "born again" 19-year-old actor called Two and a Half Men "filth" instead of just "really not funny" — Jones has spoken out to, erm, clarify his statements about the show that gave him fame and a ton of money. By "clarify" we mean he didn't actually apologize or take back anything he said, he just sort of… let everyone know that he likes his coworkers.
I have been the subject of much discussion, speculation and commentary over the past 24 hours. While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear.
Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked over the past ten years and who have become an extension of my family. Chuck Lorre, Peter Roth and many others at Warner Bros. and CBS are responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date. I thank them for the opportunity they have given and continue to give me and the help and guidance I have and expect to continue to receive from them. I also want all of the crew and cast on our show to know how much I personally care for them and appreciate their support, guidance and love over the years. I grew up around them and know that the time they spent with me was in many instances more than with their own families. I learned life lessons from so many of them and will never forget how much positive impact they have had on my life. I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed. I never intended that.
Basically, Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer and co. can rest easy knowing that even though their costar thinks their show is a blasphemous assault on God, he still thinks they're pretty cool. If Jones actually regretted any of his words, or felt that they were misconstrued, he certainly would have relayed that information in his statement. Prediction — Angus T. Jones will be fired soon. Have a fun week, Angus T. Jones' publicist.

A Hobart father who allowed his underage daughter to have sex with her boyfriend at home has been charged under a law designed to stop adults soliciting children.
In what is believed to be an Australian first, the 59-year-old father of two has pleaded guilty to permitting a person under 17 to have sex on a premises.
The Supreme Court in Hobart heard the single dad let his 14-year-old daughter regularly have sex with her 26-year-old boyfriend in the family home because she threatened to run away.
The father's lawyer said it was a choice between his daughter having sex in a safe environment or going elsewhere.
The charge is normally used on adults who have solicited children.
The prosecution said it was unaware of any precedent anywhere in Australia for its use on a parent who has allowed an underage sexual relationship in the family home.
The case against the father has been adjourned until next week.
The boyfriend has been jailed for having sex with a person under 17.

Pleasant Vy. sweeps PM West
BOB FORD/TIMES NEWS Pleasant Valley's Sam Young hands off to Abigail Kaspszk in the 3200 relay. The Bears won the event in 10:35.49.
The Mountain Valley Conference track meet between the Pocono Mountain West and Pleasant Valley girls' teams came down to the final event Tuesday afternoon.
With the Lady Bears clinging to a one-point lead heading into the 1600-meter relay, the winning team would claim victory for their school.
Pleasant Valley was behind after the first leg, but saw Melissa Russo charge ahead during the second leg to give her team the lead. The gap she provided ended up being enough in the end, as the team of Russo, Kaitlyn Smith, Steph Palmer and Jennifer Mickens won the race with a time of 4:20. The win gave the Lady Bears a 78-72 victory over the Panthers.
"I am a little nervous," said Russo before the final race. "But I am just going to go out and run."
'Just go out and run' must have been Russo's motto all day, as the junior also won the 400-meter and the 800-meter races. Although it was the first time she had run the 400, she finished first with a time of 1:04.65. She placed first in the 800 with a time of 2:33.87 as well.
"It was my first time running the 400," admitted Russo. "My coach just told me to go out and give it my best shot and that's what I did. I was happy with my time. It helps a lot with him coaching me through it.
"I felt pretty good with the 800 as well. The other girls helped me a long because we all pace off of each other."
It was also a day of firsts for senior Jack Wathen and freshman Austyn Borre.
Wathen, who mainly focused on the 800 and 1600-meter races last year and even qualified for states in the 1600, tried out the 400-meter event for the first time. Wathen looked as if he had run the race his entire career as he finished in first with a time of 54.06.
"It was a good race," Wathen said. "It was actually my first time ever running it. I didn't know what to expect. My coach told me to go at the first 100 pretty hard, coast the second, and then try to kick it in. I was a little sorer than I was hoping for, but I am happy with first."
Wathen then held serve in the 800. He hovered in the front for the first lap, but then shot out into the lead as the second lap began. He finished with a time of 2:12.18.
"I was feeling a little tired after that 400," admitted Wathen. "It was a little bit more of a tactical race I guess. I didn't just go all out. I felt good though as I was running."
Borre tried his legs at the 200-meter dash for the first time this year. It turned out to be a good decision, as he won the race with a time of 23.37. He beat out teammate Matt Sheehan, who had in turn topped him in the 100-meter dash.
"That was my first time running the 200 in a real meet this season," said Borre. "It felt good. I like that race way better than the 100. I feel I am more of a pick-up-speed kind of runner. I can work my way up to third gear instead of having to jump right into it."
Borre was also a member of the winning 400-meter relay team. The freshman anchored the group of Sheehan, Tony Bell and Peter Leika and brought home the victory with a time of 44.49.
"(The relay) is definitely my favorite race," Borre said. "It is real competitive. I love those guys and I know we will go far this season."
Wathen and Borre helped the boys to an easy 104-37 win.
Also winning multiple events for Pleasant Valley was Sam Young and Dakota Everett. Young took first in the 1600 (5:54.7) and 3200-meter (13:38) events, while Everett won the shot put and the discus with throws of 41-8 and 120-2 respectively.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A provision on bonus pay in the $787 billion stimulus package will weaken some firms, a Washington financial firm lobbyist said.
The amendment to the bill written by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., would allow the government to "negotiate for reimbursements if those payments were contrary to the public interest," USA Today reported Monday.
In effect, the provision would allow the government to negotiate with executives for the return of bonus money already paid. It also caps bonuses for the top executive of a firm that accepted $25 million in government assistance and the top 20 in a firm that accepted more than $500 million to one-third of their base salary.
The system would flip the bonus-pay system on its ear. By example, Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein took home $67 million in bonus pay in 2007, above a salary of $600,000, the newspaper said.
Scott Talbott at the Financial Services Roundtable, told USA Today, "Once you go beyond top execs to restrict commissions, you undermine the strengths of the institutions."
Senior White House aide David Axelrod said U.S. President Barack Obama would look for "an appropriate approach."
The president is expected to sign the stimulus bill Tuesday.

Increase of Potential Intellectual Bandwidth in a Scientific Community through Implementation of an End-User Information System
2014 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (2003)
Big Island, Hawaii

Qureshi, et al. (2002) [1] presented a case study where they used a framework, the Intellectual Bandwidth Model to measure an organization?s ability to create value. The model consists of two dimensions, information assimilation and collaboration. The IB model is a useful tool for managers because it enables them to plan solutions to complex business problems and to easily communicate these plans to key individuals. The model can also serve as a guide when making investment decisions. While it is important to increase an organization?s intellectual bandwidth, it is equally important to assure that the resulting increase is employed to improve the organization?s ability to innovate since, as it has been shown, innovation is the number one creator of organizational wealth [2]. In this paper we discuss how intellectual bandwidth as proposed by Nunamaker et al. (2001) [3] can be extended beyond the highest level of information assimilation identified in the model, automated sense-making, to ensure implementation of product innovations. To do this we propose adding two new information assimilation features, automated utilization and automated implementation.

A real business example from the bioscience industry is presented in order to demonstrate how the IB model with extensions can be used. The study discusses an end-user information system, its current use and its potential to enhance an organization?s value-creating capability.

Question for Runners

I run early in the morning down in Palo Alto, and I haven't seen the same thing. There are always people around in Palo Alto however, so maybe it's more of an issue of being comfortable knowing that they're not alone. Normally both the men and women do wave or give a "good morning".
