Soaking Up The Sun At Ansonia High School

When Ansonia High School students return to school at the end of the month they will be greeted by a computer screen filled with data about the sun — how much is beating down on their school roof, and what it means for the city's energy consumption.
The data will be projected in the main lobby of the high school all year, to inform students and staff about the new solar panels that were installed on the building this summer.
The city unveiled the solar panels at a ribbon cutting Tuesday afternoon.
City officials said the 200-kilowat system will help offset about 15 to 20 percent of the building's energy costs — for about $20,000 in energy savings a year.
That's equivalent to the energy used to power 20 to 30 large homes, said Edouard Klehe, of SunLight General Capital, a green energy investment company that owns and installed the solar panels on the roof.
SunLight General sells the energy from the solar panels to Ansonia at a fixed rate. The arrangement means Ansonia gets energy savings without having to pay to install the panels. Click here for a previous article about the solar panel project.
The panels cost about $1 million to install. That money came from private investors rounded up by SunLight General, and from the state Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority (formerly called the Clean Energy Fund).
SunLight General has a contract to keep the panels on the roof for the next 15 years.
Sun Perks
The state Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority gave $430,000 toward the project, according to Elizabeth Olney, a project associate for CEFIA.
With that grant came special training for two teachers at the high school. The teachers — Cindy Musante and Kelly Rayone — learned about solar power and wind turbines, according to Ansonia Superintendent of Schools Carole Merlone.
"They worked with passive solar heat in a model house, and learned about factors affecting output of solar cells," Merlone said. "They got a plethora of activities to teach the students."
Merlone said the green energy lessons will be incorporated into science classes at the high school this year.
Control Panel
The data on display at the high school will be accessible to anyone with an internet connection too.

It also has information explaining how solar panels work.

Fresh off receiving his degree, Michael Dyer is looking to play a little football.
The former Auburn and Arkansas State running back told USA Today's George Schroeder that he continues to seek opportunities to revive his football career. Dyer said that even if another program offers him a scholarship, he'd prefer to join his hometown Arkansas Razorbacks as a walk-on.
"If Arkansas said I could walk on, I'd go walk on at Arkansas."
Dyer graduated with his associate's degree from Arkansas Bible College in June after previously leaving both Auburn and Arkansas State. He will be immediately eligible to play as a junior.
A star during Auburn's BCS championship season, Dyer transferred to Arkansas State after he was indefinitely suspended by coach Gene Chizik following a failed drug test in 2011. He later testified in court to having his gun used in a March 2011 robbery by four of his Tigers teammates, and, once at Arkansas State, was dismissed by coach Gus Malzahn for another run-in with the law: Dyer was pulled over for speeding and had a gun confiscated from his car.
Dyer reportedly received interest from Marshall, Troy and Western Kentucky, but early interest from the likes of TCU and Louisville has subsided in recent weeks. Arkansas Bible College administrators say recent developments in the Aaron Hernandez case have caused schools to think twice about offering Dyer another chance.
According to Arkansas Baptist College president Fitz Hill, who has mentored Dyer for the past several months, some schools have grown even more cautious of bringing Dyer aboard "because of the (Aaron) Hernandez situation." Hill, a former San Jose State head coach, said he understands, "You have to err on the side of caution, particularly with the era and the environment we're in."
Dyer stressed that he has matured and wants to focus exclusively on football.
"I'm only gonna go to school, make good grades and play football," he said. "I don't bring anything with me. No registered gun, and I'm not gonna waste your time smoking marijuana. I want to put a jersey on, sweat and play football. I want to show people the true Michael Dyer."
From a strictly X's-and-O's perspective, Arkansas could potentially use Dyer's skill set. The Hogs lose leading rushers Dennis Johnson and Knile Davis, who combined for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2012. The team's leading returning rusher is sophomore Johnathan Williams, who carried 45 times for 231 yards as a freshman and did not find the end zone.

The House will consider legislation to combat human trafficking when it returns from the recess as part of a response to the abduction of hundreds of school girls in Nigeria.
Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorTop Lobbyists 2017: Hired Guns GOP Rep.

Cantor also said that the House would consider a resolution to condemn the abduction of nearly 300 Nigerian school girls by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
"The atrocities in Nigeria have awakened the global conscience and reminded all of the evil of human trafficking," Cantor said.
The House also observed a moment of silence for the kidnapped Nigerian teenage girls in its last vote series of the week.
Pelosi also said the kidnappings should be denounced by Congress.
"It is clear that what happened in Nigeria is outside the circle of civilized human behavior. it is unconscionable and these despicable acts must be condemned in the strongest possible terms," Pelosi said.
Boko Haram, an extremist group that opposes providing Western education to women, has threatened to sell the girls, who have been missing for more than three weeks, into slavery.
The Senate passed a resolution by voice voice on Tuesday to condemn the kidnappings.

NCP seeks action against Tawde in BJYM woman member's plaint
Mumbai: Opposition NCP today demanded that Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde be booked in the episode related to alleged sexual harassment of a woman by former Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) city unit president Ganesh Pandey as the victim named him also in her complaint.
Addressing a press conference here, NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik flashed what he claimed was a copy of the victim's complaint sent to the city BJP and said it mentions Tawde besides Pandey, who has rubbished the charge.
"The complainant (a local BJYM member), in her letter to Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar, has mentioned Vinod Tawde's name and hence he, too, should be booked," Malik said. He said Pandey is a close associate of Tawde, a senior BJP leader in Maharashtra.
"I demand that Mumbai Police file a Zero FIR and book the minister. The FIR can be then transferred to Mathura where this criminal act took place," Malik said. Zero FIR is an FIR that can be filed in any police station regardless of the place of incident or jurisdiction.
The NCP leader claimed the victim has not yet approached Police to file a formal criminal complaint as she may have been threatened. Last week, the woman, in a written complaint to Shelar, alleged Pandey sexually harassed her during the BJP youth wing's three-day executive committee meeting in Mathura. Pandey had accompanied the victim for the meeting in the UP city.
Pandey, who resigned after the complaint, rejected the charge, saying they were part of a "political conspiracy". "This is a classic case of political conspiracy hatched against me. There are a few people in the party, who are behind this. I have full faith in my senior leadership and this is why while submitting my resignation, I demanded a fair inquiry into the matter," he said. Tawde was not available for comment.

The Pebble Beach Concours might be the headline event of the annual Californian festival of cars, but the gathering at Quail Lodge two days before is way more than just a side show. What started in 2003 as a small gathering of classic cars from the world of motorsport on yet another of Monterey's absurdly manicured golf courses has now become a must-visit part of the almost week-long celebrations.
You are here
Gallery: TopGear.com at Quail Lodge
This year the featured marques at the Quail were Aston Martin, which was celebrating its 100th birthday, and Lamborghini, which created a retrospective that included highlights from its 0-50 years in existence. The designs of Peter Brock, who penned such classics as the Shelby Coupe and the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, were also given an airing in front of the caviar and Champagne-swilling crowd.
Oddities that you only ever see at events like this and then never again included the 1966 Cheetah Coupe. Designed to compete against the Shelby Coupes, these 377cu-in small block Chevy-engined race cars were famous for their ill handling but astonishing straight-line speed. Just 29 of them were ever made as racing homologation rule changes that required 1,000 cars, instead of the previous 100, had to be produced before it could race, made it unviable.
Unlike the array of 20 vintage Corvettes that streamed into line the spine of the event. And unlike the broad range of other racing cars, such as the Jaguar XK120 streamliner, complete with clear Perspex bubble over the driver, that set a land speed record (172.4mph) for the flying mile in Belgium in 1953.
But other than the old gold, there was plenty of new stuff to distract you, too as Michael Schumacher went on (and on) about his racing history, his collection of cars - he has every F1 car he won in except the Bennettons - and life after F1. First in line of the future classics was the new Legend Series of Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesses.
There are going to be six of these Legends released over the next year, with just three of each being made. The mini range-within-a-range debuts with the Wimille, which honours French racing ace Jean-Pierre Wimille who steered a Bugatti 57G Tank to victory in the 1937 and 1939 24hrs of Le Mans, the second time supported by Pierre Veyron. So there's historical substance behind the car.
While the road-rippling eight-litre W16 drivetrain is left untouched, the designers have gone to town on the colour and trim. Most French racing cars were painted blue back in the Thirties, the 57G Tank being no different, so the Wimille edition recreates that aqua scheme with blue-tinted carbon fibre and Wimille Bleu paintwork and interior. Nice.
Walking past the gathering of super rare Ferraris - including Glickenhaus' head-explodingly gorgeous P 4/5 cars from 2006 and 2009 - brought you to the next new headline star of the show: the Galpin Ford GTR 1. Inspired jointly by the GR-1 concept car and an active imagination, the team at Galpin Auto Sports, the custom division of the largest Ford dealership in the world in Los Angeles, have created their vision of what the Ford GT might look like if it was built today.
Using a standard GT as the base car, the team, working with concept car builder Metalcrafters, have created all-new aluminium bodywork that's five inches wider than the stock GT. All the glass is new as are the knock off (that's racing knock off, not poor copies) wheels, pure carbon brakes and interior. The engine has been breathed on by a set of twin turbochargers that see the GTR1 join the 1,000bhp+ club, with 1024bhp and 739lb-ft of torque.
It all looks very convincing, with nicely tight shut lines, reassuringly meaty door and rear hatch closing sounds and a general air of premium quality throughout. As it should because the asking price for the GTR-1, of which only a handful will ever be made, is a smidge over $1m including the donor car. And that's for one made of carbon fibre. If you want one in ally, it'll set you back another chunk of cash.
Away from the seven-figure cars on show, the more modest but no less focussed BMW M4 Concept got it's first public outing. But that's pretty much all that happened. No technical information other than 'Yes, it is nice isn't it?' was available from the company, so we have to rely on what we already know about the two-door M3 Coupe's successor.
The spokesperson's smile got tighter when I suggested it would have the S55 450bhp twin-turbo in-line six engine, but there was no telling what the interior would look like as the car on show clearly didn't have one. So we'll have to wait for the Detroit show in January to see the entire finished car. If it stays like this though, I can't see there being too many complaints. If ever a car said 'thrash me hard', this is it.
Rounding off the world firsts and this visit to the Quail was Porsche's 918. While technically not in the showground - like every other show, this one has started to bulge into adjacent spaces - Weissach's finest was on display in (almost) full production form for the first time. With all the technical details already confirmed it was all about thelook and feel of the production car.
I've seen expensive watches with less precise detailing than this so it passes that test easily. Which should help its sales. There have been some rumours that the cars haven't been selling quite as fast as Porsche would have hoped, thanks to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari distracting buyers' attention. But, having seen the looks on the crowds faces at the Quail, I can't see that situation lasting long. Particularly as it's 'real good value at under $1m', as one red-trousered, trophy-wifed punter claimed.
There aren't many places in the world where an $875k car could be described as good value without irony, but at the Quail it's probably true.

NCUF Getting Out of the Grant Business, Letting State Arms Take Over
ARLINGTON - This year is the last one in the foreseeable future in which the National Credit Union Foundation will make grants to individual credit unions, according to a Foundation executive, opting instead to let state leagues and foundations fund more discrete efforts. That change, combined with reductions in federal funding for many credit unions, promises to significantly change the credit union funding landscape. "It's the difference between being able to help tens of credit unions and helping hundreds," explained Bruce Wheeler, Director of Grants and Communications for the Foundation. "The Foundation board felt that as a national funding resource for credit unions, the Foundation's resources could be better targeted at certain questions that face credit unions nationwide," he added. Since 1999, the NCUF has disbursed roughly $3.4 million to individual credit unions and the state foundations and leagues. Wheeler said that the NCUF staff had not yet decided which nationwide problems might draw the Foundation's funding attention, but said the board had asked for staff recommendations before the end of 2003. Possible topics include payday lending alternatives, check cashing services and some developmental topics, he explained. The NCUF's funding mechanism follows what some find to be a complicated formula of investments and disbursements. Credit unions in over 30 states invest money through their corporate credit unions in the Foundation's Community Investment Fund, according to Wheeler. In return the investing credit unions receive the first 2% of their investment's earnings. The CIF receives the second 2%, which it splits with either the credit union leagues or Foundations in the investing credit union's state. In the event that that the overall interest rates return is greater than 4% total, the additional interest goes back to the investing credit union. "We are capped at the two percent of the earnings," said Wheeler. "A 5% or 6% earnings environment means that the CIF gets 2% and the credit union three or four," he explained. New Role For The States The role the state foundations and leagues play in the overall fundraising and disbursing structure will get more attention under the new Foundation funding plan, Wheeler explained. Currently the state leagues and foundations cannot simply use the 1% funds from the CIF for anything they wish, but must use them to fund efforts in one or more of the following: credit union education, public education, new/small credit union development, extending credit union services and international partnerships. A league can't just put the 1% return into its general fund, he said, adding that the Foundation anticipated working with the foundations and leagues more closely in helping them to fund the individual credit union projects that currently attract support from the Foundation directly. "It seems to us that the foundations and leagues at the state level were closer to the individual credit unions and more able to understand and appreciate both what they are trying to do and the obstacles they face," he said. It's unclear that the state foundations and leagues are necessarily prepared for this sort of change in role, but Wheeler said that was why the Foundation remained committed to work with the state organizations to help their grant evaluation and funding processes. Already, states are involved in many different types of credit union projects, not all targeted toward individual credit unions. According to the Foundation, the state level effort subsidizes compliance training for credit union employees in Arkansas. The training covered share drafts, endorsements, and regulations regarding deposit accounts. While in California, CIF funds both funded education efforts and provided grants directly to credit unions with less than $20 million in assets. What Will This Mean To Individual CUs? Although he stressed that he remained optimistic about the Foundation's changes, Clifford Rosenthal, Executive Director of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, acknowledged that many CDCUs may face a significantly different funding landscape than they have in recent years. "Of course we will be interested in seeing how it all works out," Rosenthal said, "but overall we are optimistic that our members will be able to benefit from the changes." Rosenthal pointed out that the Foundation differs from other grant sources or federal efforts, such as the U.S. Treasury Department's CDFI Fund, in that the Foundation exists to fund credit unions as credit unions. Other agencies will fund credit unions as a means to getting to some mutually shared goal, such as financial literacy or greater access to credit. But the Foundation exists to help credit unions improve and strengthen their efforts in and of themselves. That gives the Foundation a role in the credit union industry that other grant makers have not had, he explained. He added that a measure of his optimism flowed from observing the work of the Foundation's Executive Director, Gary Officer. "Gary is an extremely dynamic and aggressive fundraiser with a genuine passion for housing issues, which this industry really needed," Rosenthal said. He noted that with Officer leading the Foundation, the organization had already begun to look not just at how it could help fund credit union efforts, but how Foundation funding could help credit unions attract other sources of funding as well. "We have worked with the Foundation in a number of different ways and look forward to continuing our cooperation," he said. -email@example.com

Julie Posetti was kind enough to link to this site from a recent PBS MediaShift article, Rules of Engagement for Journalists on Twitter.
Unfortunately, I've managed to make the list of journalists she linked to completely disappear.
UPDATE: The list is back online, thanks to ireckon.com fixing some rogue code for me. Thanks Darryl!!
I made the fatal mistake of messing with the code on my live site, and
have somehow broke n the relevant post, Australia's Top 100 Journalists and News Media People on Twitter.
Thinking I would make a minor change to the comments.php file last week, I have somehow managed to block out the most visited post on the site. It's still there, you just can't see it, and I haven't worked out how to fix it.
I've already tried reposting, only to see the same effect. I'm convinced the problem is in the paged comments part of the code, but have either not restored to the original, or have but to no effect.
In the interim…
In other news, I've been catching up on some podcasts and just listened to a great Pods and Blogs episode from April 7. One of the things mentiond in the podcast was a live streaming news centre that was set up by some students to cover G20.
From the PodcastDirectory show description:
This week Jamillah talks to the students who created a news streaming page from the middle of the G20 protests when many reporters were unable to get in, or out, of the thick of it.
Some of what they did sounds awesome but I was put off, and disagree completely, with one of the students interviewed. They suggested what they had done could not necessarily be done by members of the public, that they were trained in the technology, and knew how to speak to the camera as a journalist.
As I said, I completely disagree. There are plenty of people all over the world who are better trained (and self-trained), who could do a better job of framing the story on video. Or with their voice, or a still image, a piece of art, a song, or a line of code that generates a visualisation.
People tell stories every day in different ways, to all sorts of other people
I rant. You can find the podcast on Pods and Blogs, BBC Radio Five Live.
I've also been catching up on Dave Winer and Jay Rosen's regular fireside chat, which they've named Rebooting the News. I've started from the beginning and only made it to about number four, but there has already been some good listening. Check it out.

Something funny happened in the Mission District last week.
Tables could be had at restaurants without an hour wait, drinks could be ordered at bars without a five-person-deep wait, and reservations at yoga studios were few and far between, according to the New York Times.
It's the Burning Man exodus, and it ended Monday.
With the completion of the annual party on the playa in the Black Rock Desert, so too ends the annual time of year when, somehow, parking can be had on Valencia Street, the newspaper noted.
While hard science to support the long-held "pop wisdom" that a festival for 70,000 people somehow eases congestion in a tourist mecca of 837,000-plus has yet to be found, there's certainly something afoot.
Tech-types who favor the Mission District, with its hipness and many tech buses shuttling people to and from good jobs in Silicon Valley, told the newspaper that their neighborhood was a virtual ghost town.
Somehow, popular eatery Monk's Kettle had no people in it at 12:45 a.m. on a recent weekend, the newspaper reported.

Prime minister Mark Rutte has refused to comment on a website set up by the anti-immigration PVV to record complaints about central and eastern Europeans in the Netherlands, the Telegraaf reports on Friday.Asked to react to the initiative during a Thursday evening debate on the European Union, Rutte said it is not up to him to comment on positions taken by individual political parties.New poll up today at DutchNews.nl: "Should the prime minister distance himself from the PVV's anti-Pole website?" "Distance himself..."?? Well, isn't that just nice and dandy. Rutte should denounce Wilders' and the PVV's bigotry from the rooftops of the Binnenhof and the Knight's Hall and not take these people seriously (no decent person would). He should have done it a long time ago. And the media (including DutchNews.nl) should not coddle these idiots, either, but they won't because they are enablers, too.

Mark Rutte, the coddling Prime Minister
Mark Rutte is a wimp. As in the Republican Party in the United States, the Netherlands has its racists and bigots in political leadership positions, too. From DutchNews.nl

The new office tower at 77 King Street and the store on George Street were buzzing with not just customers, but with media, Mac geeks, and more. Yes, the first Australian official Mac Store was opened on at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday June 19, 2008, last week.
The Apple Store Sydney has more than 80 Macs and 60 iPods available for customers to experience hands-on, as well as an incredible range of third party products. The store's staff includes more than 125 locally hired Specialists, Creatives, and Geniuses. The Apple Store Sydney also brings Pro Labs to Australia, offering free, in-depth training on Apple's professional creative applications for digital photography, music production and video editing including Final Cut Pro.

The trouble with biographical motion pictures is that, for the most part, the very reason that they exist is because they're a variation on stories we've seen before. Whenever anyone says, "What an amazing life he/she has led! That'd make a good movie!" the logic at work is that the story seems cinematic, and the reason it seems so is because it conforms to the kind of story arcs--hitting bottom, making one's own way in the face of adversity, triumphing over the odds, and so on--that have become boilerplate. The truth of the matter is, the fact that someone's life could be a movie doesn't necessarily mean that it would be a good one.
Which brings us to Machine Gun Preacher (a title that continues to rankle; whatever root it may have in the real story, it makes the picture sound as though it should be playing the lower half of a grindhouse-revival double-bill, alongside Hobo With a Shotgun). It is, as the opening titles inform us (immediately following the title, in fact), "based on the life of Sam Childers," and it is an extraordinary story; Childers was a convicted felon and all-around roughneck biker who found God, built a church, and ended up pouring his time, energy, and money into an orphanage he built in Sudan.
He is played by Gerald Butler (who also executive-produced), and the film begins with his release from the clink, at which point he is disturbed to discover that his wife (Michelle Monaghan) went and got religion while he was locked up. Sam's not hearing it, and the opening sequences are an almost-comical overload of his bad behavior: booze, drugs, broads, gun, and blood. (Though the film stacks his sins in a style creeping up on Reefer Madness territory, these scenes are done with enough grim realism and profanity to ensure the R-rating that will keep away much of the audience that will buy what follows.)
The set-up scenes are both overdone and overlong, and while the clearly devout picture is admirable for taking its religion seriously, there are parts of it that amount to just sitting in church, whatever that means to you. Most moviegoers will just be waiting for him to get over to Africa and start saving some kids and shooting some guns, which the picture portrays in just about equal measure. Director Marc Forster, whose credits include Stranger Than Fiction and Monster's Ball, stages the events crisply, though there are some thoroughly peculiar transitions (my audience giggled, for example, when Forster faded from some hot-and-heavy foreplay into a serious church scene; the incongruity is just too much). And the performances are good--Butler's got a convincing earthiness, and you believe his passion (even when it is stated in hoary lines like "Truth is, helpin' you kids is about the only good thing I've ever done in this life"), while Monaghan, though stuck in a small and rather thankless role, uses her gin-soaked voice and fiery eyes to give it life and texture. As Sam's best bad-boy buddy, Michael Shannon indulges in a bit too much eye-popping early on, though he's got a gentle comic touch in a bedside scene, filling in with his friend's daughter (Madeline Carroll) in Sam's absence. An actor (previously unknown to me) named Souleymane Sy Savane is beautifully understated as Deng, Sam's point man in Sudan.
But the simple-mindedness of Jason Keller's script is just too much for the picture to bear--and that's not just meant politically (lest we forget, other American evangelical interventions in Uganda have had decidedly less uplifting results). The compactness of the events is frequently hard to swallow--a kid dies, Sam fights back, and the child soldiers they're fighting are immediately on his side. Sam's daughter asks about a limo for her school dance at the exact moment he gets bad news from Africa. The young child terrified in the grisly and scary opening waits to make his emotional connection with Sam until the older man's darkest hour. A humanitarian aid worker exists only to be spiteful and second-guess Sam, who of course must then save her life. And so on.
There is a section, late in the film, where Sam's frustration becomes so desperate and all-encompassing that it begins to push him back into some darker places--and we lean forward a bit, because now the picture is getting interesting, going into territory we've not been in before. But that detour aside, the air of familiarity and predictability keeps Machine Gun Preacher from making much of an impression. As the end credits roll, we see documentary footage and photos of the real Sam, the real Deng, and Sam's wife and daughter. Hate to say it, but I'd have rather seen that film than this slicked-up, dramatized one.

New Zealand v South Africa, Rugby Championship
Smith: 'biggest challenge since World Cup'
September 9, 2013
Conrad Smith is preparing for a tough encounter with the Springboks © Getty Images
The All Blacks are about to encounter their first genuine challenge of the year.
Not since Richie McCaw's weary touring party fell to England last December have the world champions looked out of their comfort zone. Les Bleus used their trip Down Under to "learn" and build experience, while the Wallabies failed to get out of second gear on both sides of the Tasman.
Take away Francis Saili's faux pa in Hamilton and you'll find Argentina produced just six points. Six convincing wins, by an average of 17 points, with six new players introduced to Test rugby in the process.
It's been pleasing to watch but the players know there is a need for quality matches to build character and leadership. Conrad Smith is certain the Springboks are the side to do just that. Heyneke Meyer's men arrived in Auckland boasting an historic win over the Wallabies in Brisbane which extended their record to nine straight Test wins.
If this turns out to be anything like the last encounter in Johannesburg, then Steve Hansen can expect to have a few more battle-hardened troops ready to be deployed in any situation. In a Man-of-the-Match performance, Kieran Read was inspirational as the All Blacks overcame a 12-16 half-time deficit by scoring 20 unanswered points. It reaffirmed the No 8's ability to stand up in big moments and in November he was awarded the captaincy for the first time against Italy.
"These games can be [crucial] particularly when one team takes a lot away from it. You can build real momentum towards a World Cup that's a few years away," Smith said. "We're certainly viewing it as the biggest challenge since the World Cup so we're prepared for a big game and I know they will be as well."
Despite the loss of McCaw, Hansen will on Thursday name a near full strength side with inside-centre Ma'a Nonu bypassing last week's win against Argentina to recover from an ankle injury. His midfield combination with Smith will be key to containing the threat of Springbok captain Jean de Villiers and impressive newcomer JJ Englebrecht in the No. 13 jumper. Smith has vague memories of his last encounter with the 24-year-old, whose hard running style rendered him unconscious during a Super Rugby match at Loftus Versfeld in May.
"We always respect whoever we're playing but it didn't take much to look at that Springbok performance last week, and in the weeks previous, to know they're playing some pretty good footy," Smith said. "And if we're not on the mark then we're going to come second. That strikes a bit of fear and hopefully it brings out the best in us."
Heyneke Meyer was quick to slam critics of South Africa's kick-chase style after they ended 42 years of hurt in Brisbane and registered the biggest winning margin against Australia at home. His backs proved that scoring tries is still well within their capabilities and that any mistakes by the opposition will be punished.
"When they're really playing expansively and chancing their arm a bit that we know we're in for a real battle," Smith said. "You know you're always going to get physicality with the Springboks but when they're really well with the ball in hand they pose a real threat."
Without McCaw, the All Blacks will again call upon Chiefs flanker Sam Cane to fill the void.
"I suppose we can take some comfort from the fact that we've dealt with it before," Smith said. "Earlier this year we had some games without him and we learned to live without him and in the past he's missed the odd game with injury. It's a big blow but I think it's one we're well prepared to deal with."

Good Points
Very informative, has every question you could possibly be asked during your theory test. Has a revision section, where you can revise each area of the Highway Code individually and an assessment part where it will tell you where you need more revision. Includes Mock Test with results, interactive DVD on the Hazard Perception and a full explanation on exactly what to expect on your test.
Bad Points
None that I could find.
General Comments
Fantastic and a MUST HAVE for learner drivers. Much better than the old system of the Highway Code Books and such like. Basically, if you can pass the Mock Tests on this, then you should perform on the day!

Wolves' Huckbody, Zimmer win medals
Walker-Hackensack-Akeley/Nevis' Collin Huckbody and Christopher Zimmer brought home medals from last weekend's state Class A wrestling tournament at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Huckbody capped off his junior season by placing fourth at 170 pounds while Zimmer capped off his junior season by placing third at 195 pounds.
Huckbody, who entered the state tournament ranked No. 5 at 170 pounds, pinned Breckenridge senior Cole Praus in 1:01 and defeated Kenyon-Wanamingo junior Alex Jackson 7-2 last Friday to reach the semifinals. Praus was rated No. 10 entering state.
During last Saturday's finals, top-rated Cooper Moore of Jackson County Central pinned Huckbody in 3:41. Huckbody rebounded from that loss to defeat Pierz senior Nathan Tomala 5-3 before falling to Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa junior Patrick Rooney 6-5 in the third-place match. Moore defeated Kimball senior Travis Schiefelbein 13-2 in the championship match to cap off his senior season with a 46-0 record. Schiefelbein, who was ranked No. 8, ended his season at 35-6 while Rooney, who was rated No. 7, ended at 39-2.
Huckbody, who was the Section 8A champion, concluded his season with a 32-4 record.
Zimmer, who entered state ranked No. 3 at 195, reached the semifinals with a 7-0 win over MACCRAY senior Brent Jaenisch and a 7-3 decision over Blue Earth Area sophomore Kysten Zierke last Friday.
After dropping a 10-3 decision to Sibley East sophomore Nathan Rose, Zimmer defeated Chatfield junior Justin Viss 8-1 before edging Parkers Prairie junior Tyler Schlosser 4-3 in the third-place match. Rose, who entered as the No. 2-rated wrestler, defeated Minneota senior Adam Josephson 5-3 to cap off a 45-0 season. Josephson, who was the top-rated wrestler, finished the season at 42-2. Zimmer, who qualified for state as the section champion at 195, ended at 39-1, Viss ended at 35-12 and Schlosser ended at 32-9.
The other five area qualifiers didn't advance to the finals.
United North Central junior Jake Malone opened with a 6-4 loss to Zumbrota-Mazeppa junior Mitchell Watkins and was eliminated when Watkins was defeated by Royalton senior Andy Poster in the quarterfinals at 126 pounds. Malone ended the season with a 24-6 record.
WHAN senior Blake Wiemann opened with a 9-1 loss to Madelia junior Adam Cooling, defeated Kimball senior Caramon Hansen 12-8 in the wrestlebacks, and was eliminated with a 6-1 loss to Medford senior Brad Maas in the 145-pound bracket. Wiemann ended the season with a 31-11 record.
At 152 pounds, WHAN senior Devin Wicks defeated Minnewaska sophomore Ryan Stottler 7-4 in the first round before being pinned by Wabasso senior Mitchell Rohlik in 5:26 in the quarterfinals. In the wrestlebacks, Wicks eliminated Goodhue junior Mitchell Breuer 5-0 before being eliminated with a 2-1 loss to LeSueur-Henderson junior Chris Pfarr. Wicks ended his season with a 21-5 record.
WHAN senior Joe Anderson defeated Aitkin junior Isaac Novak 14-7 in the first round before being pinned by Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg junior Jordan Rothers in 3:43 in the quarterfinals. Anderson was eliminated from the 160-pound bracket with a 12-6 loss to Blue Earth Area junior Carter Hanson. Anderson finished the season with a 33-7 record.
UNC sophomore Taylor Carlson made his state debut with a 5-2 win over Royalton junior Cory Wensmann before dropping a 13-2 decision to Wabasso senior Cody Welch. Carlson was eliminated from the 220-pound bracket with a 15-4 loss to LeSueur-Henderson senior Austin Pagel in the first round of the wrestlebacks. Carlson ended the season with a 33-11 record.

"War Is Peace", "Freedom Is Slavery", "Ignorance Is Strength", "Horwill Did Not Stamp", "The Courts Are Not Slippery".
Perhaps in this of all weeks, when normal graceful tennis players have suddenly come to resemble Harold Lloyd on roller-skates, it would be apt to evoke the Ministry of Silly Walks. Yet as supposedly distinguished sporting organisations have issued statements which directly contradict what we have seen, with our own eyes, it is the Ministry of Truth, and its three slogans, which come to mind.
If Winston Smith was living in 2013 instead of 1984, he would surely have been working at the Australian Rugby Union. Certainly the ARU's public utterances in the past five days since the citing of their captain, James Horwill, has been nothing short of shameless propagandising. They have sought to dump our recollections, if not Sky's endless replays, of the incident in the third minute of the first Lions Test down "memory holes". And the shame is they partly achieved their aim.
Yes, yes, we all watched the slow‑motion evidence of the second‑row stamping on the head of Alun Wyn Jones. It was there, in front of us in glorious Technicolor, the proof as incontrovertible as the stitches above the Welsh lock's eye. But still, that would not stop the ARU disciplinary panel from clearing Horwill, its judiciary official finding it impossible "to reject as being implausible or improbable Horwill's explanation".
So, while the rest of the world laughed at the notion that Horwill was off-balance and merely looking for some terra firma on which to plant his right foot, poor Nigel Hampton QC was left to justify the unjustifiable. The Wallabies had us all down for wallies.
It was so outrageous that it forced the International Rugby Board to act and, for the first time in its history, appeal a "not guilty" decision. The ARU on Thursday made much of the fact that this was an "unprecedented" move on behalf on the governing body, but deep down it knew why it had never happened before. The IRB had never had the nerve before.
But even this collection of submissive suits felt obliged to do something. Not in time to mete the requisite justice and have Horwill banned for the second Test, but still in time to effect what would be some worth punishment.
So congratulations to the IRB, a body which has previously been as toothless to make Shane MacGowan resemble Luis Suárez. Meanwhile, the ARU continued to publish its mistruths, which became more outlandish by the second. The "necessary falsification" – as George Orwell called it – reached its zenith with the ARU's claim that the IRB's appeal has the "potential to cause serious disruption to the... positive atmosphere surrounding the tour".
I would venture that the serious disruption of a human being's features might, just might, lead to a negative atmosphere; but hey, the ARU would not listen. It is too busy being reckless in declaring nobody could prove beyond reasonable doubt that Horwill was being reckless. Some sap was paid to circulate this garbage. There is towing the party line and hauling its rotten innards for the public to ingest.
But then, that is modern sport. The message is everything, the validity nothing. Sport's PR agencies trot out their missives, intent on blurring the truth in the favour of their clients. Nothing wrong with that. It is what they are paid for and usually their spin is harmless. Yet sometimes it defies belief.
Wimbledon's reaction to the mass of withdrawals was a headcase in point. We could see players losing their footing all over Wednesday's coverage. But the official statement refused to recognise it could have had anything to do with the grass. "There have been some suggestion that the court surface is to blame," the Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis said. "We have no reason to think this is the case."
Fair enough, they are going to fight their corner, even if it was splattered with blood from some of the contestants. But there was a reason to investigate why so many players had pulled out after tumbles.
Why is the first reaction always to go on the attack? That is not good government; it is pathetic paranoia. And so "Wimbledon whingers" exploded across the social media. You know, pampered millionaires, they want everything their own way, they are just making excuses. Hang about, we saw them sprawling, we saw the doctors with their bandages: tell me, were they in on the conspiracy, too?
Something strange was going on and to dismiss it so matter-of-factly as a huge coincidence of unrelated injuries was, to my mind, irresponsible. It added more than a little insult to the injuries.

So as all of you have likely noticed, this wiki recently has had a problem: People are mass uploading their own custom made weapons. I've came up with a solution though: The Vault Armory. The site is vaultarmory.wikia.com. But I'm obviously not very good at wikia stuff. So I'd like to ask any Vault users (especially admins) if they would like to assist me in this. As a side note: start uploading images on that site, please. It's out of control here. -- ☢Valoopy☣ 02:56, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
They've had the same problem with pimpmygun on the Call of Duty wikia for awhile until they said they'll temporarily ban them for awhile I think. Alls I know is no one does it anymore--Fallschirmjager 03:06, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
Yes but it's rampant here ever since everyone found out about GIMP. If we just do a "ban guns" policy there will be a lot of annoyed users. This way there's somewhere to put them. -- ☢Valoopy☣ 03:11, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
I see your point, but won't the constant flow of uploaded pictures cause stress on the server?--Fallschirmjager 03:14, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
By the way, I'm looking for admins and people that can help me make the wiki in general. -- ☢Valoopy☣ 03:42, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
UPDATE: We are looking for willing template coders. I personally would prefer non Vault admins, as it will be a huge task, but admins, feel free to apply. Ask me or Sam for more information. -- ☢Valoopy☣ 07:26, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

GULLANE, Scotland, July 19 (Reuters) - What a difference a day made for Americans Mark O'Meara and Tom Lehman as the two senior citizens became victims of Muirfield's fickle finger of fate in the British Open second round on Friday.
Lehman, who won the third major of the season at Lytham in 1996, opened his campaign with an excellent three-under 68 on Thursday and kept up his challenge by reaching the turn in 37.
The 54-year-old, however, frittered away a succession of strokes on the back nine as he struggled to cope with the quicksilver links greens.
"That was really ugly golf," Lehman told reporters after sliding to a six-over 77 on another day of glorious sunshine on the east coast of Scotland.
"From the beginning to the end it just seems like I got progressively worse.
"I'm not happy with it. I was hanging in there, actually it felt like I was getting something going, and then I made a stupid bogey on 12.
"Then I hit a pretty good second on 15 that almost went in the hole and it snuck off to the back bunker from where I made a double bogey, so disaster," added Lehman after finishing with a three-over total of 145.
"I was thinking a two and I ended up with a six. You've got to be unflappable, no doubt about it - to get frustrated with the greens would have been counter-productive."
Lehman said the low rounds he plays in his 50s are as good as they were in his heyday. The problem is that the poor performances are much worse than they were during his glory days.
"Bunkers that are out of play for the younger guys are in play for me and today was a good example," he explained.
O'Meara was the surprise package of the opening round as he blitzed his way into joint second place on 67.
But the second round was a completely different story for the 56-year-old who limped to a 78 including dropped strokes at four of the last five holes.
"That was a tough day," said O'Meara after joining Lehman on 145. "I didn't drive it as good as I did yesterday and I had a lost ball on the sixth.
"The course was offering a different wind direction but it was still very playable, a good test, and I just played pretty poorly.
"Yesterday I hit it good and drove it really well, hit 15 greens. I also missed a lot of greens today and my short game wasn't that good," said the 1998 Open champion.
"You can shoot seven-over quickly here, it can happen fast. (But) at least I'm playing on the weekend and that's a nice thing to be here in an Open championship and have a chance."
American Justin Leonard, 41, who won the Open at Troon in 1997, also looks set to make the cut after shooting a 70 for 144. (Editing by Ed Osmond)

We must consider why a business would want to operate or locate in Missouri, besides what type of tax credit or incentives that we can offer. We must create and maintain an overall business environment that encourages businesses large and small to want to be in Missouri without having special programs or incentives. A good infrastructure or means of conductingfor trade, manufacturing or and services is critical to our economic recovery. I will support maintaining our state highway improvement plans, expanding rail transportation and our ports of trade. I will also support measures to expand broadband and fiber optic utility services across the state and services that support the use of new technologies. Holding to these priorities we can pursue the following job creation efforts:
Support the passage of the Jobs for the Future Act to allow Liberty to partner with a research institution to create a science and innovation park where private companies can locate to research new technologies and next generation manufacturing jobs.
Enact a Missouri Manufacturing Jobs Act to promote the competitiveness of Ford Motor Company in Claycomo, along with thousands of other small and large manufacturers in our State.
Creation of Port improvement districts along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and international airports to promote commercial operations.
Support companies who locate their large data storage facilities in Missouri in such places as the Hunt Midwest caves right here in Clay County.
Enact a Missouri Manufacturing Jobs Act to promote the competitiveness of Ford Motor Company in Claycomo, along with thousands of other small and large manufacturers in our State.
A government cannot tax and spend to promote prosperity. Our regulatory and tax system must be maintained in a way that encourages honest profits, more private investment and savings. There is no way that a gGovernment cannot create a long-term job that adds productivity to the economy;, but a successful business can and will. We have tomust have a system that says "yes" to private sector job creation, "yes" to small businesses and "yes" to the entrepreneurial spirit of Missourians.

The Chorus of Grace, Pastor Adam Kohlstrom
The Gospel According to Moses | The Chorus of Grace
March 2, 2014
Deuteronomy 29-30
Deut. 29:18-19. How are you today susceptible to the "poisonous and bitter fruit" described here? How do we avoid such fruit (cf. Hebrews 3:12-13)?
Deuteronomy 29:16-18 (cf. Joshua 24:14, 23). What 'gods' are we tempted to serve today? In what subtle ways might we be tempted to serve them? What steps can we take to "yield" ourselves daily to the true God?
Deuteronomy 29:20-21 (cf. Joshua 24:19-20). Can you share a time you were jealous? How is our human jealousy (Prov. 6:34; Acts 13:45; 17:5; Gal. 5:19-21) different from God's just jealousy (Ex. 20:5; 34:14; 2Cor. 11:2)?
Deuteronomy 30:2. What does it look like to "return to the Lord your God"? How often do you think we must return to Him (Luke 9:23; Lament. 3:22-24)? Can you share a story of returning to the Lord from your own life?
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (cf. Joshua 24:15). From your own experience, why do you think a "one time" choice is not sufficient? What does it look like in your own life to make a daily choice to love and obey the LORD (cf. Luke 9:23)?
Deuteronomy 30:6; 10:16. In the Scripture, "circumcision of the heart" is equated with no longer being stubborn (29:18-19) and becoming unresponsive to the Lord (Jer. 6:10; Isa. 63:10; Acts 7:51).
• According to Hebrews 3:7-19; 4:6-10 (cf. Psalm 95:7-11), how did the previous generation demonstrate that they were "uncircumcised of heart"?
• According to Romans 2:28-29, what does God desire of His people? How does the death of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit accomplish this desire (Colossians 2:11-14; Galatians 5:1-6,16-25)?
• How is the Lord currently at work in your heart making you more responsive to Him? When are you most likely to struggle with stubbornness? What in your heart does the Spirit need to "cut away"?
Coffee & Sunday School 9:30 a.m. | Morning Worship Service – 10:45 a.m.

Speaking of new brand AORs, a lot of you were shocked when Cricket took its business from incumbent Element79 to Dallas-based retail marketers, TPN. How would this experiment work, what with TPN not yet the sort of company, in many opinion, that had proved its merit in the field of actual TV advertising?
Well, the above spot is the maiden voyage of sorts for TPN, directly targeting T-Mobile on pay-as-you-go mobile rates and coverage. Is this the first time we've seen a CG buzzard in advertising? Probably, but that trade-in deal for an Android phone sounds pretty nice. Was Cricket better off at Element79, or do you like the change? We can guess how you, dear commenters, will call this one.

What we do
Sense offers high quality, flexible services across the UK, using skilled staff and a dedicated network of volunteers. We tailor the support we offer to the individual needs of each person so they can live as independently as possible and participate fully in the lives of their local communities.
Children's Specialist Services
Children's Specialist Services is a team of specialist teachers, children's therapists and children and family support workers which offers a range of services including: help when a child is first diagnosed; assessments and advice to help children learn and develop; early intervention and developmental play services; plus extra support at times of crisis and transition.
We organise around 25 week-long summer holidays for more than 100 deafblind children and adults each year. Within the adult range (19 years and over), holidays are prioritised by applications from people living at home with their families. We also offer holidays for older people with hearing and sight loss.
Short breaks
Sense offers a range of stimulating, friendly short breaks for children, adults and older people. These give people the chance to enjoy new experiences, make friends and grow in confidence. They also give families and carers a much-needed break.
We provide co-produced short breaks, designed with families and young people. We want every person to feel valued, make choices, join-in activities, build capacity for self-help and social skills - with tailored support to make the break a memorable and stimulating experience.
We also offer a short breaks package for children over 14 years of age, which supports young people's transition into adult services.
Housing options
Sense offers a range of housing options where individuals are supported to run their day-to-day lives, to be as independent as possible, to be part of their community and to thrive.
In our residential services, Sense provides and runs the accommodation as well as supporting all aspects of a person's daily needs and wellbeing.
In our supported living services, people are tenants or homeowners in their own right, with Sense providing the support they need to enjoy more independent lives.
We use our communication expertise and person-centred approach to make sure that people are at the heart of planning and developing their service, giving individuals choice and control of their life. Whether it is shopping for food, furnishing a room, following an education programme or going to the gym, we support people to express their preferences and to make them happen.
All our housing services are registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission.

Intervenors are trained to work one to one with congenitally deafblind children, young people and adults.

ATLANTA - For a moment, Tony Gonzalez thought the end of his brilliant 16-year career was before him.
For a moment, he lost faith.
Thirty-one blinks of the electronic game clock separated Gonzalez from retirement, as his Atlanta Falcons had fallen behind the Seattle Seahawks, 28-27, with 31 seconds left.
