LONDON, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- In a search for more speed, Britain's national cycling team says it's experimenting with helmets with ducts to reduce air resistance and clothing with ridges.
Researchers have designed the new drag-resistant helmet and clothing as part of an attempt to use technology to produce "marginal gains" in speed, the Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
The helmet and clothing designs are revealed in two published patent applications.
In the helmet, two intake holes channel air to a large single outlet at the back to force airflow along the rider's back as they lean forward, to improve their aerodynamics.
The drag-resistant clothing features ridges on the back of the limbs.
"It has been found that in cycling, air to the rear of an arm or leg flows upwards along the arm or leg and is a significant cause of overall drag on the cyclist," the clothing's inventor Robert Lewis said.
"By including an air flow disruption device on the rear of the arm or leg, this flow is broken up, reducing the overall drag," he said.
At the London 2012 Olympics, British cyclists had success on high-tech bikes equipped with airfoil-shaped forks and handlebars, while the riders themselves wore teardrop-shaped "aero" helmets.

Lindsay Lohan Crashes Her Rental Car
Lindsay Lohan was involved in another fender bender over the weekend, and police have confirmed that alcohol was not a factor.
The latest Lindsay incident happened on Friday afternoon while she was driving a rented Porsche along the Pacific Coast Highway. Lindsay reportedly slammed into the back of an 18-wheel truck, claiming that the truck driver cut her off, but the driver says that he stopped when he felt the impact of Lindsay's car.
Lindsay was also quick to blame brake failure for the cause of the crash, but the rental company says that the Porsche has brand new breaks. Lindsay Lohan was taken to an area hospital, but no injuries were reported. Sources also claim that Lindsay tried to pay off the truck driver to not call the police, but he called anyway.

PCSO shares 2014, 1st sem 2015 accomplishments
Speaking at the charity agency's Good Governance seminar on June 3, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Vice Chairman and General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II reported that the total sales in 2014 from Lotto and other number games reached P32.32 million, a 2.2 percent increase from the previous year's figure of P31.62 percent.
The agency has 10 regular games: variants of Lotto and digit games, as well as the Lotto Express (keno) that grew in popularity over the past couple of years, and the traditional Sweepstakes with paper tickets, which is held to raise funds for a particular charitable institutions under the PCSO's "Partner Tayo" program.
To grow sales for the Charity Fund, the agency works with entrepreneurs who set up Lotto outlets all over the country: as of end-2014, there were 9,072 retailers and outlets selling Lotto tickets and other PCSO products.
Under PCSO's charter, a strict allocation of the agency's sales is observed: 55 percent goes to the Prize Fund for winnings, prizes taxes, sellers' prizes and Sweepstakes sellers' commissions or shares, which in 2014 reached P13.56 billion. Fifteen percent is set aside for agency operations (as a government-owned and –controlled corporation, PCSO does not receive any funds from the National Treasury).
The allocation to the Charity Fund in 2014 was P9.83 billion, with P3.23 billion of that remitted to the Bureau of Internal Revenue as documentary stamp taxes. The shares of local government units from Lotto and other game sales accounted for P631.39 million, while the flagship medical assistance service program was allocated P5.17 billion (this is the program that provides subsidies for hospitalizations, dialysis, chemotherapy, and other medical- and health-related concerns).
Rojas added that in 2014, the agency's 42nd branch office was opened in Marinduque in November, from an initial 25 provincial district offices when the present Board of Directors took office in 2010.
Also in 2014, the agency marked its 80th anniversary with the groundbreaking and time-capsule laying of the PCSO's permanent headquarters at its property in San Marcelino, Manila, where its security printing department is still located.
Another "agency first" notched last year was its first hosting of the World Lottery Association and Asia-Pacific Lottery Association Business Seminar in Manila. It was one of the most well-attended seminars conducted by the two groups of lottery operators, of which PCSO is a member.
The agency's operational constraints were primarily related to legal cases filed against PCSO by its equipment lease providers and paper suppliers, which resulted in delays in setting up terminals and in the shortage of ticket supplies.
Other factors beyond PCSO's control that resulted in service delivery lags were related to the strict requirements of government procurement laws, specifically Republic Act No. 9184, resulting in delays in delivering capability building packages for clinics and health centers and ambulance units under the agency's Ambulance Donation Program.
Other concerns that the agency faces this year include "rampant illegal gambling in the Visayas and daily rotational brownouts in Mindanao," as cited in an agency report.
This year is better for the agency, with the target of 700 additional lotto outlets already exceeded in the first semester of the year with 750 new outlets opened.
Two more branch offices were opened this year, in Northern Samar and Ilocos Sur, bringing to 44 the total number of branches. The goal is to eventually open a branch in each of the country's 81 provinces; the target this year is to open seven. On June 22, a branch in Ozamis City will be established, with four more to be opened in the second half of the year.
The PCSO ASAP (At Source Ang Processing) Program was also launched this year through an agreement signed with St. Luke's Hospital in Global City and Quezon City, where help desks manned by PCSO-trained personnel at those hospitals process patients' applications for requests for medical assistance. This will reduce, if not eliminate, the need for these patients or their representatives to queue at the PCSO Charity Assistance Department.
As of yesterday, 29 ambulances have been distributed this year to municipalities in the provinces under the agency's Ambulance Donation Program, with more to be given away.
This year, PCSO is celebrating yet another anniversary – two decades of computerized Lotto operations in the country. Since 1995, Lotto games have raised P300.1 billion for charity.
As they look forward to the future and the challenges and opportunities it brings, the 1,115 officials and employees of PCSO remain dedicated in their service to the Filipino people.

The Bankruptcy Wildcard in Cartel Cases
Where fines are the only available sanction against cartels there is a trade-off between increased deterrence and the increased risk of insolvency. Higher fines are unacceptable to the European Commission because of the costs and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These concerns have led to the emergence of a 'financial constraints' discount which is applied with a lack of transparency and may be strongly influenced by the EC treaty objectives of protecting employment and social justice. Such bankruptcy discounts encourage infringing firms to paint as gloomy a picture of their financial situation as possible to reduce their cost of collusion. They also provoke cartel members into raising prices further, safe in the knowledge that they will never incur fines high enough to threaten their financial viability. The existence in the US of a parallet 'loose' bankruptcy discount allows international infringing firms to cite sanctions previously incurred in the US as grounds for 'financial constraints' in Europe. The effect is lower fines to the detriment of EC deterrence and international enforcement.

ATLANTA -- Fulton County officials say they are trying to backtrack on thousands of erroneous letters sent to voters this week. The letters misdirect voters to go to the wrong precincts on election day.
It is familiar territory for Fulton County, which has had a persistent history of mucking up the business of accurately sending voters of getting the right issues in front of voters at the correct precincts. This latest mistake affects some 23,000 households.
"At first I was glad. It seemed like a helpful letter," said Susan White, describing the day this week when she opened her letter from Fulton County. It appeared to tell her the location of her election day voting precinct. But something, she says, seemed very much amiss. "And I noticed it was from Fulton County. And I'm actually in DeKalb County," White said.
She also noticed the letter sent her to a precinct at a church nearly three miles from her house – instead of her normal precinct at a school just one block from her house. She looked up her voter info on the Georgia Secretary of State's website, which confirmed that the letter from Fulton County was quite wrong.
"If you only have a limited time to vote, and you're getting something that's telling you to go miles away, and you go there and that's not correct, you could lose your vote," said White.
Turns out White has plenty of company. Fulton County says it sent out about 23,000 letters with erroneous information – which is about eight percent of the county's households with active voters. Fulton County released a statement saying the "mailings were mistakenly forwarded if a change of address had been filed with USPS within the last four years…. We are working with our vendor to mail letters to the households that did not receive the mailing."
White says she finds it baffling. "You know what? Don't even send a letter if it's going to be erroneous," she said.
Fulton County says it will send corrective letters to voters who live in Fulton who got the erroneous information. White lives in DeKalb. She probably won't get a corrective letter. Fulton says anybody outside the county getting a voting letter from Fulton should just disregard the letter.

'Il Talentino' comes on to set up the winner as Milan extend their lead in Serie A.
Rodney Strasser netted the winner after fellow substitute Cassano had run at the wilting defence in the 85th minute to send Milan five points clear in the Scudetto race.
Milan were the first to threaten when, after a period of sustained pressure in the opening 10 minutes, Robinho got away down the left and controlled before attempting to send an angled shot inside the far post, but Michael Agazzi got down well to push the ball wide.
After their uncertain start, the Isolani began to finally see some of the ball and were unfortunate not to take the lead midway through the first half when defender Michele Canini rose high above Thiago Silva to head goalwards, but with Christian Abbiati beaten the ball came back off the foot of the far post.
Alessandro Matri seemed to be brought down on the edge of the box as the interval approached, but the referee waved play on, and on the stroke of half-time Alessandro Agostini had a long-range effort punched away by Abbiati, with Matri just unable to reach the rebound.
Milan should arguably have taken the lead in the sixth minute of the second half when Alexandre Pato broke the offside trap bearing down on goal, but Agazzi did superbly to stay big and force the Brazilian to make the first move before pulling off a stunning sharp save with his left arm to foil the Rossoneri.
At the other end, Pato was again denied when Daniele Conti blocked superbly as the striker turned on Merkel's low cross from the right. And before long, Robinho wasted a great opportunity on a two-on-one break by displaying the heaviest of first touches to allow Agazzi to collect with ease.
Massimiliano Allegri finally threw on new signing Antonio Cassano for the final quarter of an hour, and 'Il Talentino' could quickly have picked up an assist had Robinho been able to keep his shot down after collecting Cassano's header and setting himself.
But 'Fantantonio' wasn't to be denied a share of the headlines on his debut, as he forged the opening which allowed substitute Rodney Strasser to fire home an 85th minute winner to stun the home crowd.
The defeat means Cagliari remain within reach of the drop zone, with 20 points from their 18 games, while the Rossoneri extend their lead at the top to five points thanks to Lazio's draw, though a win for Napoli at Inter tonight would see the gap cut to three once more.Click here to follow the Goal.com Twitter feed and join Goal.com USA's Facebook fan page!

RICHMOND–A Richmond resident has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for defrauding members of his own family by promising to invest in real estate for them, then keeping the money, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Prosecutors say Marvin Solis, 30, took approximately $244,000 from his wife's relatives, promising to invest the funds. Instead he pocketed the cash and told relatives that he lost the money in risky commodities trades.
Solis also encouraged victims to open credit card accounts to fund renovations of the properties he promised to purchase for them, and ran up a $10,000 debt on the cards, according to the DOJ. He also used the personal information of one of his victims, without the victim's knowledge, to open a credit card account in the name of Solis's company, and then charged $26,600 on the card.
Solis pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud in January.

Ultimate to Home Premium Questions
Hi, Savvy Sevenoids.
I need to replace my current install of 7 Ultimate x64. I was victimized by a dirtbag shop owner/builder. My copy is not pirated, but it's of a nature that I'm unauthorized to have. Let's leave it at that.
I've bought Home Premium x64 (at least I HOPE it's x64; forgot to ask) from the MS WGA victims department, God bless them. I neither asked for nor needed Ultimate from that shop owner. I'd *love* to be able to change over to Home without wiping and reinstalling, especially for the sake of my drivers.
I see in this thread here on this site that it can be done, or at least could back in April 2010 when the thread was written. Can it still be done using the steps in the link provided in that thread? And if it can, or if there is another way, is it absolutely legal to switch it out instead of reinstalling?
Thanks a million!

Another quick question -- if I tried to just switch keys, and it went wrong, could I then do a clean install? As in, is there a limit as to how many times I can attempt (or do) installs/reinstalls on the same computer with a retail copy directly from MS? Thanks!

Hello shablah, welcome to Seven Forums!
Give the registry workaround a go, if it doesn't work, it just doesn't work and if you've created a system restore point first, you have almost nothing to lose; though I will say when I tried it, I couldn't get it to work at all.
Here's a lot of useful info if you have to reinstall, which I'll bet you have to do in the long-run.
It would be best to do a complete wipe of the Hard Disk Drive / Solid State Drive and then start the installation process again, have a look at Step One of the Optimize tutorial below; after you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to do the wipe secure erase to the HDD / SSD and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
Whether you use diskpart to run either the clean all command to completely wipe a HDD / SSD or just the clean command to remove the format configuration data and don't use diskpart to create at least a single partition to do the installation to, letting the Windows installer do the format, the new Windows 7 System Reserved partition will be automatically issued, if you want to make your own decision whether this partition is added, study these two (2) options below.

Great! I'm O/C about system restore points, and I'm glad to hear that I'd have nothing to lose. I'm also O/C about my colors, fonts, etc., and I'd hate to lose them. lol If I can get past that and the fear of driver reinstall problems (even though I have them rounded up by DriverMax), I may do a clean wipe/install.
Thanks so much for all of the great further info. Everybody's help is much appreciated!

It is true that much of the suffering is self-inflicted and some African leaders have betrayed their own people.

What Fall Trends Will You Follow?
What Color Are You Claiming For Fall?
Check out this fun post from OnSugar blog Addicted to All Things Pretty.
As fall quickly approaches, many of us are checking out the latest trends to prepare for the season. Bold, rich red and berry-colored eye shadows, deep smoky eyes, metallic golds and ambers, as well as matte nude, berry, and brownish-orange lips all ruled the fashion runways. I plan on adorning my pretty little face with a few of these trends. But I also plan on claiming as well as owning (as in self ownership and the ability to confidently wear) a few of my own trends. One of those trends will be the everyday bright-but-wearable pinkish red. I'm going to incorporate this color into my makeup, clothing, and, of course, nail color. I even saw Rihanna wearing a color similar to the one I have in mind in the "Love the Way You Lie" video, which is CND Wildfire. I know, I know… this isn't a trend and it may even seem to be more appropriate for spring. The great thing about claiming and owning your own trend is that it doesn't matter… just do you, and do it well.

A committee of the Los Angeles County Grand Jury and a downtown business group are trying to revive the controversial idea of extending the Glendale Freeway from where it now ends abruptly in Silver Lake, dumping high-speed traffic onto Glendale Boulevard.
The new proposal, called a "downtown bypass," would extend the roadway southward for about eight miles, crossing both the Hollywood and Santa Monica freeways and ending with a hookup to the Harbor Freeway near Slauson Avenue in South Central Los Angeles. Its goal is to ease traffic on the Harbor Freeway through downtown and encourage redevelopment to the west by improving access to that area, its backers say.
"It will let the city breathe and expand west," said Albert Martin, the influential architect who fathered the idea and won support for it recently from the Central City Assn., to which he belongs. The Government Operations Committee of the Grand Jury endorsed the plan last week.

Earlier Plan Killed
In 1975, the state Legislature killed a California Department of Transportation proposal to extend the Glendale Freeway, or California 2, about two miles on a more southwesterly slant to the Hollywood Freeway, in what was to have been the first leg of a new east-west freeway to Beverly Hills. The state is still mopping up messy problems that followed the cancellation, including repairing and selling off properties it had acquired for right-of-way.

Help Me Dance
- Artist: Ben Havick
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 7/11/2006
|your cart is empty
Composer guitar player Ben Havick's latest efforts to contribute to the American Art Form of Jazz combo are striking and original in their dedication to rudimentary bop elements and feathered softness inspiring a return to graceful envelopment. His site, Benhavick.com, features a few samples from his 2006 release "Help Me Dance". "Help Me Dance", Havick's 34th self produced album, is a nice collection of original Jazz tunes featuring highlights such as "Written in the Word", " Big Baron", and "Next Stuck", as well as twisted investments in reinventing the swing "Oh Go", and "And Can't Block the Queen", where Havick's now trademark attempts to invert and reinvent the Blues over the "spirited" swing sound subtly succeed. His website currently features one sample from the too-be-released album 'Cool Aid'. The song snippet is only a blueprint and is titled "Huck Luck". This guitar player is worth a listen, as his adherence to tradition and his adaptation of the swing beat bring the listener a little bit closer to the guitar. Born June 13, 1977.

Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins defaulted on payment of his home loan two years ago, according to county records.
The default on the loan by Watkins and his wife, Tanya, on their DeSoto home occurred in November 2008. County records show that a lien was placed on the property that same month.
The documents do not say how Watkins defaulted or how much money was owed. According to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, the home was never placed on the list for foreclosure, which would mean that the necessary payments were made.
The couple originally borrowed $559,200 for their home in 2003, the records show. The house is appraised at $549,900, according to the Dallas Central Appraisal District.
Watkins, a Democrat who is seeking re-election in November, declined through his representatives to comment about the documents.
Eric Celeste, his campaign spokesman, also refused to discuss the default matter, saying via a text message: "We respond to legitimate questions about making Dallas safer or campaign issues, not personal political attacks."
Danny Clancy, Watkins' Republican opponent, declined to comment.
The 2008 default was not the first time unpaid bills were a problems for Watkins.
In December 2007 - 11 months after he was sworn in as district attorney - his law license was briefly suspended when he forgot to pay his dues to the State Bar of Texas. The license was reinstated after he paid the dues and penalties. Dallas County cases were not affected.
Last August he was sued by Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages, which alleged he owed $1,249 for advertising. The company had initially sued Watkins in 2006, saying he owed nearly $16,000 of a $34,000 bill for advertising, according to the lawsuit. That lawsuit was dismissed after Watkins promised to pay the bill, but when he didn't follow through, the company sued him again. That suit was also dismissed, but it is unclear why.
Watkins' former bail bond business, Fair Park Bail Bonds, has also been the subject of complaints, records show.
Investigators found six possible violations to the state code that governs how bail bond companies can operate. A complaint filed against the company in 2004 was never resolved because Watkins closed the business before the complaint was heard.
In the six years before his run for district attorney in 2006, Watkins had three liens related to more than $100,000 in income tax disputes. They have since been paid.
The city also sued Watkins for defaulting on a $20,000 mortgage loan. Watkins paid off the loan after the suit was filed.
Watkins, who earns $125,000 a year, has continually said the lawsuits and complaints are irrelevant to his role as district attorney.

While some visionaries extend the boundaries of human investigation and problem solving, others bring the world that's already visible into a remarkable, new perspective. Ellen Silbergeld, PhD '72, does both. An authority on the toxicology of lead and mercury, she is now leading a push to give the blooming field of nanotechnology more critical examination, before it's too late.
Nanomaterials—often defined as smaller than a tenth of a micrometer in at least one dimension—are being rapidly integrated into everyday life. The large surface area of nanoparticles relative to their volume confers special properties. Nanotechnologies make fabrics stain-resistant, inhibit bacterial growth in food packaging and increase the clarity of cosmetics. They also hold the promise to revolutionize medicine, by penetrating cells and delivering drugs with a precision that was previously impossible.
"I am as capable of being intrigued by nanomaterials as anybody and I think that the promise is potentially very great," she says. But having witnessed the trajectory of other hyped technologies such as leaded gasoline—which was trumpeted as a 'gift of God' at the time of its introduction and then, once its toxicity became apparent, took decades to remove from the market—Silbergeld, an EHS professor, argues for a more cautious approach, writing articles on the subject and chairing workshops to engage the attention of government as well as fellow scientists. "We've just had too much of a history of doing things where the promise was very great."
Nanotechnologies raise a red flag because the deliberately engineered properties that make them so valuable could make them hazardous. A molecule designed to deliver a drug through a membrane, perhaps administered into the bloodstream, could pick up mercury from the circulation and deliver it instead to intracellular targets like DNA. (Silbergeld describes this as a "sorcerer's apprentice" problem. The nanotechnology is like the story's enchanted broom, which continues to draw water from a well even after the room is flooded.)
More careful scrutiny can only be good for nanotechnology in the long term, says Silbergeld, since the belated emergence of hazards would almost certainly undermine the public's confidence in the technology.
But with an almost total lack of information on the effect of chronic exposure to nanomaterials, a change in course is overdue. "The most important step a responsible society can take is to come to an agreement about the knowledge that's needed to make decisions about nanotechnology, be it in the private sector in terms of product development, in the public sector in terms of regulation and guidance, or in the public in terms of acceptability," she says.

Yesterday, we were given the first full clip from Prince of Persia since the trailer came out and it was full of all kinds of parkour action (if you could see any of it amidst the ridiculous editing). But what about that whole "acting" thing the stars have to do when there's not walls to climb or buildings to jump off? Well this new clip shows off a bit of that as Ben Kingsley explains the reasons to attack to young Dastan.
It's not really the type of scene that gets people's attention since the only thing people seem to respond to these days are explosions and quick cuts, but it's a good scene and shows that, within the pile of action that has been relentlessly tossed at us in the trailers, there is actually a story line. The clip is an enjoyable first look at the actual meat of the movie, despite the shaky accents. Check out the clip called "We Attack at Dawn" below.

Oslo - A Norwegian art gallery lost a Rembrandt etching worth up to $8 600 in the mail after trying to save money on courier and insurance costs, the gallery's chief said on Thursday.
The Soli Brug Gallery in Greaaker, about 80 kilometres south of Oslo, purchased a copy of Rembrandt's 'Lieven Willemsz, van Coppenol, Writing-Master' made in around 1658 from a British dealer, only to have it lost in the Norwegian postal system.
"Using a courier or special insurance is quite expensive so we have used regular mail until now," Ole Derje, the gallery's chairman said.
"It is worth around 40 000 to 50 000 crowns ($6 900-$8 600)and the postal service is offering us compensation of 500-1,000 crowns."
Derje said his gallery, which is displaying works by Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Munch and Dali, received notice to pick up the package but when he went to collect it, it was nowhere to be found.
Derje declined to name the seller, citing confidentiality concerns.
"We are sorry that this has happened; we have advised him to use a more appropriate form of mail when sending items that are worth as much as this with the appropriate insurance connected," said Hilde Ebeltoft-Skaugrud, a spokesman for the postal service.

Mumbai, June 26 (IANS) Kalki Koechlin, who has joined hands with the P&G Shiksha programme, says education is the key for gender equality.
"I was never a front bencher. I was very bad at maths. My skills were more on the creative side like arts, creative writing and acting. It's important we try different skills apart from regular studies," said Kalki.
A strong supporter of women empowerment and education, especially in rural India, Kalki said: "We have to educate girls, but we also have to educate boys about the fact that girls are equal. It's important for both boys and girls."
Radhika cuts short trip for Anurag Basu
Radhika Apte, who was in the Himalayas, cut short her trip to attend a special screening of "Chokher Bali", an episode of the TV series "Stories By Rabindranath Tagore", helmed by Anurag Basu.
Radhika is seen in a very different light in the show as she plays a Bengali character, and it was important to her to get feedback from people. So, she made time for the screening on Thursday and just returned from her trip.
"'Barfi' is one of my favourite films and I would have played any character for Anurag Basu. He is one of my favourite directors," Radhika said.
An ardent traveller, Radhika had gone backpacking in the Himalayas.
After attending the show's screening here on Thursday, the "Badlapur" and "Hunterrr" actress was glad she cut short her trip.
When Diljit went on special social media tour
Several stars may be popular on social media, but actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, who is making his Bollywood debut with "Udta Punjab", went a step further when he visited the headquarters of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google in the US.
The star, who was in North America earlier this year, went on a special social media tour and visited the hub of some of the most popular social media outlets as well as saw their day-to-day operations.
He toured the facilities, heard the stories behind the brands and connected with the culture that has redefined communication altogether, according to a source close to him.
Diljit began his tour with social media giant Facebook. After an interactive session with the team members behind this innovative social network, he headed to explore the workspace of his favourite networking site Instagram.
Next on the cards was the Twitter headquarters in downtown San Francisco. He enjoyed an interactive question and answer session with the employees of Twitter.
Post Twitter, Diljit's next destination was YouTube headquarters in San Bruno.
The actor's social media tour concluded at the Google headquarters in Mountain View.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey airport security guard accused of threatening to shoot President Barack Obama has pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment in a deal with prosecutors.
Linden resident John Brek originally faced felony charges of making terroristic threats and receiving stolen property. Each carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Essex County prosecutor's office spokesman Paul Loriquet says the lesser charges carry a maximum 30-day jail sentence.
The 55-year-old Brek was arrested Oct. 20 after a Continental Airlines employee at Newark Liberty International Airport reported hearing him say he had "cut a hole in a fence to be able to shoot" Obama a day before the president traveled to New Jersey.
He pleaded guilty Friday and remains jailed pending a sentencing hearing Thursday.

TI rolls out low-frequency RF chip for keyless entry systems
Post a comment
DALLAS -- Texas Instruments Inc. today announced a new low-frequency RF chip designed to simplify the design of vehicle access systems while cutting cost, development time and broad space requirements. TI's new 3D analog frontend IC, designated TMS37122, supports passive entry, including anti-collision, "passive go," immobilization, and remote keyless entry features all in one system, said the company.
"Up until now, engineers needed discrete solutions that were costly and consumed a lot of power," said Michael Knebelkamp, automotive strategy manager for radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems at TI.
TI said its new analog frontend chip is a primary component of a keyless access solution and requires no action from the user to gain entry to their vehicle. In the case of passive entry, drivers can have the keyfob in their pocket or purse, and when they come within 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) of the vehicle and pull the door handle, the device automatically identifies the driver and unlocks the door.
The device has a standby current of 5 microamps and less than 10 mV peak-to-peak sensitivity, which provides longer battery life. The device also features a battery recharge capability and battery-less backup. It comes in a 16-pin TSSOP package, which is small enough to fit into a keyfob or credit-card device.
The TMS37122 is compatible with TI's digital signature transponder (DTS), which provides high security, anti-theft projection using 40-bit challenge/response encryption and RFID to interrogate the driver before a vehicle is started, said the Dallas company. The device also uses on-chip antenna trimming, based on EEPROM-controlled capacitor arrays, which eases production of keyfob products, said TI.
samples of the analog front end device are available now and volume production is slated to start in the first quarter of 2001.

Impact of Labour Regulation on Unemployment: A Case Study of France, Germany, UK and USA
This paper examines the state of labour protection in four countries (UK, USA, France and Germany) during 1970-2006. It supports the contention of the legal-origin theory that UK and USA (common law countries) intervene less in the labour market and grant less protection to labourers. It also supports the proposition that the problem of unemployment is more acute in the civil law countries (France and Germany). But it finds no direct relationship between various aspects of labour regulation and unemployment rate. Hence, we conclude that the explanation of more acute unemployment problem in France and Germany should be sought elsewhere.

Audit Collection Services Administration (AdtAdmin.exe)
Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager
The primary tool for managing Audit Collection Services (ACS) in System Center 2012 – Operations Manager is a command-line tool, AdtAdmin.exe, which is run locally on an ACS collector. You can use AdtAdmin to view current configurations and change the default configurations that apply to the ACS collector and ACS forwarders. AdtAdmin also allows you to apply filters that limit the events that are stored in the ACS database. These filters are formatted as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Query Language (WQL) queries. (WQL is a subset of the American National Standards Institute Structured Query Language (ANSI SQL) with minor semantic changes to support WMI.)
AdtAdmin has 12 parameters, each of which has a few to several subparameters. The general syntax of AdtAdmin is as follows:
AdtAdmin.exe /<Parameter> [/<Subparameter>:<Value>]
The following table lists each parameter of AdtAdmin along with a description. For more information about the syntax of a specific parameter, click the name of the parameter in the table to link to the topic that describes it.
Creates a group on an ACS collector. Groups are used to organize ACS forwarders.
Deletes a previously created group on an ACS collector.
Disconnects an ACS forwarder or group of forwarders from an ACS collector.
Displays the authentication method used by the ACS collector to connect to the ACS database.
Displays the WQL queries currently in use on an ACS collector. WQL queries are used to filter events before they are saved to the ACS database.
Displays the name and some statistical information on the ACS forwarders that are connected to an ACS collector.
Displays the groups that are present on an ACS collector.
Specifies which authentication method the ACS collector uses to connect to the ACS database. Windows Authentication and SQL authentication are the available authentication methods.
Defines a WQL query that the ACS collector uses to filter the audit event data.
Displays statistical information about the ACS forwarders that are connected to an ACS collector.
Allows you to change the name and the value of an ACS forwarder and also to change the group to which an ACS forwarder belongs
Allows you to rename a group.
Each AdtAdmin parameter has from a few to several subparameters. The subparameters allow you to apply a command to a specific ACS collector, a specific ACS forwarder, or group of forwarders and are the same for most AdtAdmin parameters. The subparameters, defined in the following table, can be used with an AdtAdmin parameter unless otherwise noted.
Specifies an ACS collector to run a command against. If this subparameter is omitted, the local ACS collector is assumed.
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer name.
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its identification number. An identification number is assigned to an ACS forwarder when it first connects to the ACS collector.
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer security identification number (SID).
Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group's name.
/GroupID: IdentificationNumber
Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group's identification number. An identification number is assigned to a group when it is first created.
Specifies an ACS forwarder or ACS group by its assigned connection value. The ACS collector prioritizes connections from ACS forwarders using connection values that range from -1 through 99. A -1 value means the forwarder is part of an ACS group and that the group's value is used to determine the forwarder's priority. A 0 value means the ACS collector ignores data from that ACS forwarder or group. If event saturation is detected, a collector disconnects forwarders or a group of forwarders with lower values before disconnecting forwarders with higher values.

OverviewBrowns Mountain is part of the long ridgeline that stretches from just inside South Carolina in the south, to Crowders Mountain in the north. It is the last of the series of peaks along that ridge that can arguably be called a mountain (mostly by the locals). Beyond Browns Mountain to the south and to the east there is only the rolling topography of the Piedmont and the flat coastal plains beyond that.
Unlike the summits farther to the north that culminate in Kings Pinnacle and Crowders Mountain, Browns Mountain has no cliffs, no rocky peaks, and virtually none of the large sections of caprock of its neighbors. Instead of the massive boulder fields and slabs, Browns Mountain is composed of a conglomerate of tough soil, hard packed clay, and quartzite rubble. While not as tenacious as the stuff farther north on the ridge, it has resisted erosion enough to stop this part of the range from wasting away into the Piedmont.
Browns Mountain appears pretty much as the terminus of the lengthy upland known as Kings Mountain. Fortunately, even though urban sprawl presses inexorably on the vicinity from the area of Charlotte and Gastonia, many thousands of acres of this ridge have been preserved and are safe from further development and exploitation. Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina has tied up most of Kings Mountain in North Carolina, and Kings Mountain National Military Park and Kings Mountain State Park protect several more thousand acres at the end of the monadnock in South Carolina.
Technically, of course, Browns Mountain is certainly not a "mountain". To the locals, who named it, and who initiated some of the most intensive battles of the Revolutionary War, it was, and continues to be, a "mountain". It rises several hundred feet above the surrounding territory and remains a landmark for the people who live around it.
Getting ThereKings Mountain National Military Park is located on South Carolina Highway 216. From Greenville, SC travel on I-85 North to NC Exit #2. From Charlotte, NC travel on I- 85 South to NC Exit #2.
Take the Kings Mountain Loop Trail from the visitors center to the summit. Blue-blazed trail. Round trip from the visitors center is roughly 5.5 miles.
Red TapeNo charge at all for visiting Kings Mountain National Military Park. The trails in the park are accessible from the visitors center. The parking lot does close late in the afternoon.
CampingThere are several back country campsites along the Kings Mountain Loop Trail. These are free of charge.

The fear of being sued became a self-fulfilling prophecy for Collin De Rham and his wife after they fired the nanny who cared for their young child. De Rham, a screenwriter for the hit cable series "Mad Men," let go of the nanny after learning from a temporary agency that the woman had sued her previous employer over alleged racial discrimination.
You'll never guess what happened! The nanny has now filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the De Rhams, seeking $30,000 in damages. She claims her termination caused "severe and lasting embarrassment."
Note: Giving a litigious employee a reason to sue you—by pre-emptively firing her, for example—is like holding a match to a gasoline can. The result is predictable and painful.
Instead, document every decision you make concerning the employee's performance. (And do the same for all your employees.) Periodically review your actions to look for anything that could conceivably prompt someone to sue you for discrimination or harassment.

Discussion questions
Negative rates - and deflation - do exist should organizations seriously consider using negative required rates of return if the current environment supports them or should they go with something like the organization's normal estimated required return?
When the rate is negative (such as when deflation is a major concern) the net present value is actually higher as it reflects the increased value of future cash flows.
How does this make the decision more or less difficult to make, if any, particularly when the financial health is a concern?

Impact Investment Exchange Asia ("IIX"), a leader in social development through impact investment, Shujog, IIX's not-for-profit sister organization, and KKR, a leading global investment firm, successfully completed their second social enterprise technical assistance project with Glovax Biotech. Read More
The time has come to look at "social enterprises"—a form of capitalism that includes social and environmental objectives in addition to the profit motive.
More than a century ago, Henry Ford asserted that "a business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." The world is now overrun by such "poor businesses." The heedless pursuit of financial gains may produce happy management teams and shareholders, but it also results in an unhappy planet for businesses to operate in. The solution is not for these businesses to give some money to charity, or to get employees to play "builder" or "teacher" for a day as part of so-called "corporate social responsibility" initiatives. The solution is much more complex and requires a radical shift in business practices.

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho has reportedly told Slaven Bilic he wants to leave the club as Sunderland renew their interest.
Sakho can see the writing on the wall at West Ham after they have made another bid to sign Lyon hotshot Alexandre Lacazette while also being credited with interest in Marseille's Michy Batshuayi and AC Milan's Carlos Bacca.
Sakho is wanted by the man who signed him at West Ham, Sam Allardyce, as he looks to add to his Sunderland squad and the 26-year-old has apparently told West Ham he is happy to leave.
Despite Sunderland being the frontrunners in the race to sign Sakho, rivals West Brom and Crystal Palace are also said to be interested in the Senegal international, who netted just seven times in an injury-hit season last time out.

1My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy salvation.
4The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt with strength.
5They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened.
6The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again.
7The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth.
8He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory.

It had long been a tradition that the LSU football team enter the field by running under the goalpost when the new "T-style" goalposts came into vogue. By virtue of tradition, the old "Hstyle" posts stood on the field of Death Valley until they were finally removed in 1984. Part of the crossbar, however, was kept and mounted above the door of the Tiger Den through which the Tigers run onto the field each game. In 1993, in celebration of the centennial of LSU football, the "H-style" goalposts were returned to the end zones of Tiger Stadium, thanks to a donation from Shaw Industries of Baton Rouge.

Spiritual healing is a completely non-intrusive way of giving gentle support by thought projection and/or by therapeutic touch. It is natural, has no recorded side-effects and aims to strengthen the recipient's own capacity for self-healing.
We work with the power of the spiritual light through a process of colour healing.
We do this in conjunction with the angels of healing.
This work was started in 1934 and was given according to White Eagle's instruction.
We offer healing through therapeutic touch know as Contact Healing and by group prayer and thought projection, known as Distant Healing, not only for people but for animals, and the Earth itself.
Through our on-line facility you can both receive distant healing for yourself, someone you know, or an animal friend and find out how to become a distant healer.
We also offer the opportunity for young people to be involved in giving lone healing to animals, and receiving contact healing.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) Blue skies and calm winds greeted hundreds of brightly colored and odd-shaped hot air balloons as they ascended into the air at dawn Saturday.
Organizers estimate about 150,000 people took advantage of the near perfect weather to witness the first mass ascension of the 31st annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
Paige Gray, 36, of Jacksonville, Fla., was among the crowd that gazed at the balloon-filled desert skies. She said this year's gathering was more lighthearted in nature than last year's fiesta, which came a few weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"Last year it was right after nine-eleven and in the airport people were fatigued," she said. "We didn't even come down on the grounds because we were very nervous and scared because of the bombings. Everybody was saying to stay away."
Gray was marking her ninth trip to the Balloon Fiesta by taking photos to show her children back home.
This year, she said, she was glad to be smiling instead of worried.
Fiesta crowds were able to move more freely than last year, when bags were searched at the gate and spirits were dampened by the attacks.
There are 150 state, city and county law enforcement officers and hundreds of volunteers keeping watch this year, but the security presence is not nearly as visual as last year, fiesta spokesman Nathan James said.
James said the weather played a big part in the success of the fiesta's first mass ascension.
"It was not too cold for people, but it was cool enough that there was good buoyancy for the balloons so the launch proceeded at a good clip," he said.
James said improvements to the Balloon Fiesta Park are making both spectators and pilots more comfortable this year, especially the grass-covered balloon field that is watered with wastewater from a nearby microchip plant.
Balloon pilot Angie Paul, 26, of Albuquerque stood on the new grass and chatted anxiously with visitors before she and her co-pilot Neal Langford made their first flight as pilots in the yellow and blue "Rubber Duckie" balloon shaped like a duck.
Other special-shape balloons, like the pink pigs, a spotted cow, an elephant, a fish, a whiskey bottle, a shoe and a red chili ristra will be featured in special mass ascension for odd-shaped balloons at dawn on Thursday.
Red-nosed from the cool air, the two pilots watched other balloons take off while about 11 crew members began to use a fan to get the 90,000-cubic-foot ducky floating.
"We're a little nervous," Langford said.
"But after you get through the first morning, it gets a little easier," Paul said.
Paul, a nursing student, said she got into hot air ballooning after meeting her boyfriend, Brook Owen, whose parents, Brian and Susan Owen, of Plano, Texas, own the duck balloon.
Langford, 30, said the hobby is captivating.
"It's one of those things that if you go up for the first time, you either fall in love with it or you don't," he said.
"It's beautiful up there," Paul said. "Especially days like today where you can just kind of pass and look up and down at the other balloons."
In addition to the mass ascensions, the festival includes several contests, such as fly-in tests where pilots try to land on a marker and gas balloon races.
"Of course, everybody lives for the grand mass ascension because it's the biggest ballooning event in the world," said Rubber Duckie crew leader, Carlos Alvarado, of Santa Fe. "But the competition is what the pilots are here for really."
They also come for Albuquerque's famed weather pattern, which was in effect for the first day of the fiesta. "The Box" allows balloonists to backtrack during their flights and land close to their take-off points.
"We've got a little bit of a box going on," said Liz Appelman.
Appelman is co-owner of a business that gives spectator rides from the fiesta grounds. Rainbow Ryders takes up passengers for $220 per person for a 30- to 45-minute ride.
Asked about the high cost, she said, "Realize this is the big event. It's the Super Bowl of ballooning. You're not going to get cheap tickets to the Super Bowl."
The company normally sells rides for $150, she said.
The fiesta will continue through Oct. 13.
