Wheat on the ropes
The selling pressure continued this week as traders looked at minimal frost damage and calculated that we'll just have more feed wheat available after all is said and done. This comes on top of what looks to be a very large and low protein hard red winter wheat crop coming out of the southern plains. Just what we need - more feed wheat.
That said, rains across much of the northern plains put the hammer to spring wheat this week as well. So, despite the probable need for high protein to blend for blending, Minneapolis wheat couldn't find support this week either.
Chicago and Kansas City wheat contracts fell to new trading range lows. Chicago managed to bounce back into its range, but Kansas City couldn't get that kind of interest and only managed a test of the breakout.
Crop condition ratings continue to look stellar for hard red. Even with some points shaved off of soft red, overall ratings for that type are still way above normal as well.
Unless the weather turns negative for the southern and central plains, it looks like Kansas City futures will continue to push lower. Chicago and Minneapolis could still argue that they should hold their trading range lows, particularly with the reports of soft red winter wheat fields being torn up. But for now, the lack of threatening weather and much needed rains in Europe are increasing the negative atmosphere of the wheat complex.
European crops are off to a difficult start, with more production estimates being lowered out of France and Germany and some surrounding countries as well. Recent light rains will help alleviate the dryness for the time being, but they will certainly need timely rains after a dry fall and winter. France projects that their farmers will have to replant about 1.5 million acres, mostly to barley and corn.
Corn did manage to get a nice pop off of its swing lows following news of more China purchases and a report from Japan that they were suspending imports of European corn due to quality issues. While that would likely lead to more US corn exports to Japan, they will also increase their wheat feeding with most of it coming from Australia.
Technically, the charts look increasingly bearish. The inability for prices to follow through higher following the stocks and plantings report, and now the negative reaction to the frost leaves wheat charts grasping for a lifeline.
As mentioned earlier, Kansas City is already breaking down, and fundamentals justify that. As for Chicago, the jury is still out. We still haven't fully assessed the frost implications, not only from a yield loss perspective, but reports of fields being torn up are worth noting. Minneapolis has no friends at the moment; rain makes grain. The dry northern plains got a drink, not a big one, but a drink nonetheless and spring wheat futures took a hit.
We'll see where prices go from here. The momentum is clearly negative and rallies look like they'll run into plenty of trouble. I think the key is to get a better idea of what's happening in soft red country. They didn't have huge acres to begin with, and if they're losing even more, that could certainly take away some of the bearish attitude.

Former Wits SRC President Mcebo Dlamini is back in court appealing the Johannesburg Magistrate Court's decision to deny him bail.
Dlamini's lawyer, Advocate Dali Mpofu, has argued that the State has no case against Dlamini, and that charges are politically motivated and laughable.
Mpofu says Dlamini should be released on a warning like other Fees Must Fall activists who were arrested.
EWN reporter Victor Magwedze says Mpofu has also criticised video evidence allegedly showing Dlamini assaulting someone.
In his [Mpofu] own words, he says you cannot have someone rot in jail just simply because he looks like someone else.— Victor Magwedze, EWN reporter
Listen to the audio below to hear more from EWN reporter Victor Magwedze in the Palmridge Magistrate's Court...
Dlamini is facing five charges including malicious damage to property, assault and theft, during the protests which saw students across the country clash with police and security personnel in their demand for free higher education.
Student activists have also gathered outside the Palmridge Magistrate's Court to support Dlamini.

It has been said, correctly I think, that "baptism is the starting gun of the Christian race."
This statement implies two things. First, we have not yet fully obeyed Christ until we have publicly professed him in baptism and publicly claimed him as our Lord and Savior. The New Testament knows nothing of a believer in Christ who has not been baptized at the soonest opportunity.
Doubtless, the only reason that the thief on the cross was not baptized was because he was nailed to the wood, next to Jesus. Dear believer, search through the book of Acts and see the obligation that clearly exists for every one who believes in Jesus Christ to be baptized in his name.
Second, baptism is not the end of our struggle, but the beginning of it.
Too often, we become lost soon after leaving the starting line.
Where are we supposed to go, once we come up out of the baptismal pool? What is the Christian life supposed to look like?
Although there are many spiritual disciplines that we could mention that help the Christian to grow in his or her walk with God—Bible saturation, prayer, fasting, stewardship—one of the foundational principles of the New Testament (and one that is often overlooked, even in books about spiritual disciplines) is the importance of the local church in the life of a believer.
A popular "seeker-sensitive" group in the Cincinnati area recently began advertising themselves with billboards along the highway that read: "If you hate church, you'll love us." While not everyone is quite so openly condescending toward the role of the church in the plan of God, church does often slip between the cracks of our many man-made religious inventions.
But although being actively engaged in the accountability, service, and worship of a local church often takes a back seat to other priorities and emphases among Christians today, the New Testament makes it clear that God reveals himself and presides in a special way in the church of Jesus Christ, like nowhere else on earth: "unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages" (Ephesians 3:21).
The clear exhortation is given to the Hebrews not to think of themselves as individual, unaccountable Christians, but rather to commit themselves to the oversight and encouragement of a body of believers, "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another" (10:25). Paul even instructs young Timothy, a minister himself, not just to avoid temptations to sin, but to pursue the sanctifying fellowship of other like-minded believers: "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Timothy 2:22).
No other activity in the name of Christ can take the place of regular involvement in, and commitment to, a church.
No student organization, seminary, online discussion forum, or small group Bible study can substitute for that organism which God designed and implemented himself — the local church. While many good evangelistic and philanthropic efforts are undertaken by various Christian organizations, they cannot—and should not aim to—be a substitute for church. The local church has a unique purpose and position in the plan of God.
While we dare not presume to know all of God's purposes in designing and establishing the New Testament church, he has revealed to us several very relevant and practical ways that the church of Jesus Christ is a benefit to believers. Here are just a few:
Public worship. No matter what we may think, we cannot worship God on a mountain top, on the golf course, or at the lakefront like we can in the house of God. Why? Because part of worshiping God is proclaiming and exalting his name before others.
David says, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee" (Psalm 22:22). In the New Testament, in the context of the local church, this psalm is again quoted for the benefit of the Hebrews, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee" (2:12).
Learning. No matter how mature we may think ourselves to be spiritually, no matter how many Bible lessons we may have under our belt, there is always a need for continued growth and learning in the life of any Christian. This is why it is important to be actively committed to a church that is consistently and faithfully preaching the Word of God, and not just seeking to entertain or "tickle the ears" of its congregants.
Every preacher should be able to say, like Paul at the conclusion of his labors in Ephesus, "I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly…" (Acts 20:20).
Accountability. This is perhaps one of the most important functions of the church of Jesus Christ. Yet it is, sadly, one of the most neglected principles in the churches of America today.
Because of the deceptiveness of our own hearts, because of the subtle ways of sin, because of the constant warfare that is waged by the world against the sanctified heart, we need the accountability and oversight of faithful saints and overseers. Paul wrote to the Colossians, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another…".
And, as much as it smarts against every ingrained sensibility of modern, it is vital that Christians not only enjoy the fellowship, admonition, and encouragement of other saints, but also submit to the oversight and instruction and authority of a God-called minister. God explains this crucial concept in no uncertain terms: "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you" (Hebrews 13:17). Obviously, this does not give pastors the right to "lord it over" congregations (1 Peter 5:3), but it does point to the vital role of under-shepherds in the sanctification of each believer.
Encouragement. As hard as it is for us to comprehend or imagine, even Paul the apostle needed encouragement as he labored and sacrificed himself in the service of God. He often spoke of the refreshment, the strengthening that he received from fellow laborers. And so it is no surprise that we find the writer to the Hebrews admonishing them to "provoke" (stimulate, incite) one another unto love and good works.
We need the stimulating words and motivating examples of fellow Christians along our spiritual journey.
Every "Christian" is blessed by the fellowship of every "Faithful" as he makes a pilgrim's progress toward the Celestial City.
Counsel. Just as early Christians were guilty of going to secular judges to settle their legal disputes, many modern Christians have made the mistake of pursuing secular solutions to their emotional and mental struggles. We have somehow been convinced that secular psychology, or self-help groups, have the solutions for our spiritual problems. However, it is in the church that Jesus Christ has planted the authority and support network that will help us face our spiritual battles.
Paul wrote to the Romans, "I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another" (15:14). As Jay Adams has famously contended, every godly and well-versed Christian is "competent to counsel."
All of this edification, building-up, and sanctifying in the church of Jesus Christ is ultimately, however, not just for our own benefit.
The Christian life is never mature until it is reaching out to help and serve others for the glory of Christ.
We are given the worship, learning, accountability, encouragement, and counsel of the church in order that we might help others to worship, learn, be accountable and encouraged and counseled in the church.
The almost unanimous question of church-seekers today is "what do they have for me and my family in the way of activities or entertainment." But—if I might paraphrase a past president—we should not only be asking "what can my church do for me?" but also "what can I do for my church?" In other words, the purpose of edification in the church is usefulness in the church. As Peter so well put it, "as every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:10).
What about you? Have you been a good steward of God's grace to you, by turning to others and ministering to them from your gifts? As Christian author Joshua Harris observes, many of us need to "stop dating the church" and to make a firm and lasting commitment to learn from, be admonished by, and contribute toward the sanctifying influence of the church of Jesus Christ.

Re-installing XP on dual boot system
I originally had Xp alone but later installed Debian as a dual boot. Now I have Xp in /dev/sda1 and Debian on /dev/sda7.
When I installed debian, I chose to install the grub in the Xp drive.
But now I need to re-install xp because of those bloody viruses AGAIN:mad: (what a suprise)
If I format /dev/sda1 (c:\) then I loose GRUB, and everything collapses.
If you don't have one already...get yourself a live-cd and reinstall grub after installing windows.
see here for tips on installing grub:
Can I not just move the grub to the debian partition first and format the xp drive?
Any Live CD can restore Grub at any time.
If it has Grub then you can activate the Grub shell in a root console and tell Grub to get back to the MBR using Debian from sda7 or (hd0,6) to Grub by commands
mkdir /mnt/sda7
When you install XP its installer overwrites the MBR and destroys Grub's stage1 file there. The restoration of Grub is to put its stage1 back into the MBR. All the necessary files are already inside the Debian partition. The command "root" + "setup" in a Grub shell or "grub-install" in Bash shell will make the necessary connection.
Problem sorted
Thanks guys, great help.
Problem sorted
I found this thread when I was preparing my laptop for XP repair install, dual booting Suse SLED 10.0/XP Pro SP2. I ran the repair with a SP2 OEM CD and it never wiped my MBR? I was kinda confused due to that GRUB is the loader hda1 is XP hda6 is / and hda7 is /home with the MBR being on hda1. seemed kinda odd to me but just thought I'd throw it our there for others.
Nothing odd about that.
Grub can be installed with a Linux or without a Linux. It can boot from any logical or primary partition that Grub can read.
You can put Grub in a data-only primary and use XP to boot up Grub.
You can use Grub from a Solaris to boot Linux or Windows. The choice is endless.
If your XP installation CD did not wipe Grub then you have not succesfully restored XP's MBR.
Re Installing XP on a dual boot system
I m also facing the similar kind of problem...but i did one more mistake...Initially I had Windows XP(SP2) and Scientific Linux 5.1 in my dual boot system...and the default bootloader was grub. Now due to some virus problem I am forced to fomat the NTFS partition where previously windows were and re-installed XP on the same existing partition. I didn't touched any other partition during installation. But I forgot to note down the partition where linux is installed. I have the bootable XP cd and one ubuntu live cd. Is it possible to bring back the previous dual boot state(i mean the boot screen where it prompts for linux or windows..and so on...)without effecting the existing linux in the system? Please refer the solution along with the code also.Please tell me how to see the existing linux partition and where to install grub.
thanks and regards.
Use the Ubuntu Live CD, open a terminal and enter: sudo fdisk -l, this should output your partition information and show you where your Linux version is installed.

I had ordered some Oakley glasses from here and the price was very competitive to other optician on the web. But due to my eye test from somewhere else the wront prescription was made. Not Pretavoir fault. They helped me change the lenses with the correct prescription for a nominal fee and have been very prompt to help me resolve this issue.
Definitely would buy my next set of glasses from here and possible sunglasses too.

My best friend and I
Ran barefoot through the garden
Stirring the petals
Her hair tied back in two braids
Her skirt trailed out behind her
We sat by the stream
With our feet in the water
Talking and laughing
Until a pink rose I plucked
And wove it into her dark braids

It is a new day
Something wonderful happened
You are now at peace
Like a phoenix rising up
From the ashes you prevail
We shall not mourn you
For you are not gone at all
We may not see you
Your presence lives on in us
Enduring the test of time
Radiant light shines
Upon us all forever
Glorious rays gleam
Emitting from your spirit
Keeping your memory strong
The lives you have touched
Will never forget you now
Though we may shed tears
These are tears of happiness
Your spirit forever reigns
In the days to come
When we are all together
Celebrating life
Your spirit will consume us
Your peace will be our strength
Joy and happiness
Will be felt every moment
You gave us reason
To have faith in the future
Your legacy will live on…………..

HI all,
I just bought a new HP Elitebook Folio 9470m, come with FreeDOS (special program from HP). This one is outstanding in my opinion. This laptop equipped with a mSata 32GB Flash drive (Samsung made). I want to take advantage of its speed, so decided to install Windows 8 on Flash drive. The speed was amazing, less than 10 seconds to show the desktop from cold boot. However, the size is too small to do anything, and I found out that people normally uses Flash drive for cache. It will does similar job to speed up the system, not as fast as install OS on the SSD, but good enough. However, I cannot find a way to utilize the flash drive. There are some options to use mSata flash drive as cache:
1. Intel Smart Response Technology: require Z68 and Z77 chipset. The Elitebook 9470m is equipped with QM77 Express, I'm not sure whether it is supported. I tried to follow the guideline, but don't see the option to enable Accelerator cache.
2. ExpressCache: Samsung and Lenovo laptop has this pre-installed. I wanted to try but don't have license for it.
3. VeloSSD.
I'll try the last option to see how it works. However, I think that as HP equipped the mSata, should it offer the solution to use it? Does anyone know the official guideline/solution to use mSata as a cache from HP?

I'm trying the same with Windows 8, but stucked at loading RAID driver for Windows 8. The driver I got from Intel download center said that it supports Windows 8, but for some reasons Windows 8 still said that it "cannot be installed on this drive".

Rabies Diagnosed in Tennessee HorsesBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff · March 20, 2012
Several horses in Tennessee were confirmed positive for rabies in early 2012. The horses died in January and February because of infection with the rabies virus variant found in skunks.
Rabies is rare in horses, with fewer than 100 equine cases reported yearly, but it is always fatal once clinical signs appear. Transmission to humans and other animals is possible from an infected horse.
Rabies is carried by skunks, bats, foxes, and other wild animals, and may be spread to horses by bites from an infected carrier. The American Association of Equine Practitioners recommends vaccination against rabies for all horses. A yearly booster vaccination is required.

Islamabad, Oct 27 (IANS) At least seven Pakistani soldiers were killed in firing from across Afghanistan border, Pakistan army said on Tuesday.
Cross-border shelling occasionally takes place between Pakistan and Afghanistan which share nearly 2,500 kms of border, Xinhua news agency reported.
Security officials some times blame Pakistani militants who operate from Afghanistan border regions for attacks on border posts.
They say most of the Pakistani Taliban have fled to Afghanistan as a result of major military operations.
Heavy fire from Pak-Afghan border occurred early Tuesday northeast of Angoor Adda area in south Waziristan, the army spokesman said.
"A total of seven soldiers were killed," a statement from the army's Inter-Services Public Relations said.
The incident took place when relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are tense following the Taliban attacks in Afghanistan.

Bain co-founder: Romney didn't respond well enough to attacks
My colleagues Anna Palmer and MJ Lee write about the silver lining for private equity this cycle, after Mitt Romney's relationship to the industry cast a spotlight on it. The takeaway is that the industry is ahead on a specific policy fight, the pair write - but one of the most notable quotes comes from one of Romney's co-founders of Bain Capital:
Geoffrey Rehnert, who along with Romney co-founded Bain Capital in 1984, told POLITICO that the candidate's discussion of his private-equity experience has not been an adequate response to the barrage of attacks that have come from the Obama camp.
"When Mitt was at Bain Capital, almost half of the investments that were made were either venture capital or growth capital investments, all of which created jobs — in aggregate, many hundreds of thousands of jobs. I believe that it would have been helpful to document those more precisely," said Rehnert, who is now a co-CEO of the Audax Group.
It's a vocal complaint, coming late in the cycle, from someone in the industry to how Romney's lack of fulsome Bain pushback has hurt not just him, but the legacy of the line of work he made his fortune in.
To that end, whatever happened to the Bain-defining effort that Boston was going to make beginning at the convention and moving into the general election?

With Grant Thornton, the financial company managing the affairs of Canada's bankrupt distributor H.B. Fenn, saying more details about the alternatives it is exploring on the Fenn bankruptcy are still a week or so away, some industry members are questioning whether distribution is still a viable business in Canada. The bankruptcy, others noted, makes the current review of the government about its role in supporting publishing all the more important.
Vancouver's Raincoast Books, which ended its publishing program in recent years to focus on distribution, is the last independent company of size left standing. But Jamie Broadhurst, Raincoast's v-p, marketing, said Raincoast is "very bullish about the future of selling books in Canada" because Canadian reading rates are high, its retailers are nimble, and sales have started to bounce back from the recession. In 2010, Raincoast moved to a new warehouse that has 40% more capacity, and Broadhurst said the company shipped 4% more units this January than in the same month in 2010. Raincoast may pick up some of Fenn's clients, but Broadhurst said it's focused on helping its customers through the current turbulence; it has more than 200 titles from Macmillan, a former Fenn client, in stock.
Although many of the multinational publishers in Canada now ship their books directly from U.S. facilities, HarperCollins Canada and Penguin Canada maintain large distribution businesses. David Kent, HarperCollins Canada president and CEO, said he could not comment on the specifics of H.B. Fenn's situation, but he did outline the pressures a distributor in Canada faces. Digital books have created "an intense pressure on physical book distribution for faster order fulfillment and shipment turnaround," he said. That pressure is one reason why HarperCollins maintains its Canadian distribution facility. "As long as we have copyright protection for our own titles, and importation protection for our own market, in the same way that the U.S. and U.K. can protect their domestic markets for foreign importation, the value of local distribution and the publishing it supports will be maintained," Kent said, but he warned that "if Canadian companies are not given the same protection as our neighbors to the south, then all Canadian book distribution will come from the U.S."
McArthur & Company president and publisher Kim McArthur noted that the Canadian government is no longer enforcing the protection for cultural industries in the ways it used to and that what happened to Fenn may serve as an example of the consequences. Two years ago, Fenn had a severe loss when Hachette Book Group moved its sales and distribution for big national accounts to the U.S. In the late 1980s and '90s, McArthur ran Little, Brown Canada. "I had to warehouse in Canada. I had to be Canadian, which I am. I had to have Canadian staff," she said. "I had to publish Canadian authors from coast to coast, and I had to report to the government every year proving net benefit [to Canada] and I was a multinational. I wasn't getting any funding." So, McArthur said, she was startled to see that Hachette could move so much of its operations to the U.S. with no repercussions from the Canadian government.
As part of its review of its publishing investment policy, the Canadian government held round-table discussions in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal in December. An announcement is expected later this year. Carolyn Wood, executive director of the Association of Canadian Publishers, which represents independent Canadian publishers, doesn't make a direct connection between Hachette's move to the U.S. and Fenn's collapse, noting there is nothing in Canadian policy that says that a publisher has to stick with a particular distributor. She pointed out if Hachette had moved to another Canadian distributor, the effect on Fenn would have been the same. But the fact that Hachette was able to establish itself in Canada without a Canadian partner does have a relationship to Canadian policy, she said.
"Net benefit is somewhat in the eye of the beholder," Wood said. There are lots of examples of decisions she would argue were not of benefit to Canada. "We do not believe allowing the retail arm of Hachette, which is HDS, into Canadian airports was of net benefit to Canada. There's lots of these. We're not persuaded that letting Amazon.ca have a physical presence in Canada will be of net benefit to Canada."
Jacqueline Hushion, executive director of external relations for the Canadian Publishers' Council, agreed that Canadian cultural industries need protection. The CPC's members include subsidiaries of multinational publishers, but Hushion argued that even such large houses, which import international books and invest the revenue in publishing Canadian books, are "just at much at risk from a marketplace and from rules that are unclear as a Canadian-owned publisher. It's a different kind of risk, but everybody is at risk."
Publishers in Canada are frustrated that booksellers sometimes break the rules that say they must buy their books from Canadian distributors or wholesalers to get them cheaper from a U.S. source. The Fenn fallout hit a nerve here as well. Hushion said she was upset that Macmillan had recommended that Canadian booksellers temporarily source books from Ingram. "Once you get in that habit, I'm sorry, it's a habit that's hard to break… I was very distressed that Macmillan didn't say… 'you should buy from your Canadian wholesalers.' There are plenty of them."
Striking the right balance between being "open for business" and protecting cultural industries will be a challenge for the Canadian government. "There's a lot at stake on that and we are anxiously awaiting the outcome of that policy review," Wood said.

Glycotope Received Regulatory Approval for Glycooptimized and Fully Human Glycosylated Antibody CetuGEX(TM) and Enrolls First Patients in Clinical Trial
"For Glycotope, the approval of CetuGEX(TM) , our second antibody in the clinic, represents another important milestone," says Steffen Goletz, CEO & CSO of Glycotope. "CetuGEX(TM) is our first in a series of next generation biotherapeutic products. We expect that the strong advantages in various product aspects we have seen in preclinical studies will manifest in a clear clinical superiority compared to the currently marketed product. In addition, the second cell line of Glycotope's glycooptimization platform GlycoExpress(TM) based on human cell lines has now been approved, meeting our ambitions for quality and speed." CetuGEX(TM) was the second antibody in clinical stage produced in Glycotope's own GMP facility in Heidelberg.
About CetuGEX(TM)
CetuGEX(TM) is an improved version of a currently marketed anti-EGFR antibody which has been approved for the treatment of colorectal and head & neck cancers. The antibody's fully human glycosylation is optimized to yield a largely improved antitumor ADCC activity, bioavailability and contains no nonhuman immunogenic carbohydrate structures and facilitates treatment of a highly increased number of patients. This was achieved with Glycotope's proprietary technology platform GlycoExpress(TM) , a screening and high yield production system of glycoengineered human cell lines.
GLYCOTOPE GmbH
GLYCOTOPE, founded in 2001, focuses on the optimization and humanization of therapeutically relevant carbohydrate structures known as glycosylation and on the development of innovative antibodies targeting glycostructures on cell surfaces. GlycoExpress(TM) , one of the company's proprietary technologies, allows making existing and new biopharmaceutical drugs more effective and tolerable in the human body, which is of considerable medical as well as economic importance. Glycotope evolved into a leading integrated glycobiology company, covering all steps from lead discovery, preclinical development, GMP production and clinical development. Glycotope's most advanced pipeline includes antibodies against novel targets for cancer therapy (e.g. GT-MAB 2.5-GEX(TM) ) and significantly improved versions of antibodies as well as other marketed therapeutic proteins.

Study to Weigh Feasibility Of White Plains Rail Line
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Maryland transportation officials will soon begin a detailed corridor study to construct a light-rail line from White Plains to Metro's Branch Avenue Station, Transportation Secretary John D. Porcari and his top aides told Charles County's commissioners during a meeting Monday in La Plata.
Saying that Waldorf has some of the worst gridlock in the state, Porcari announced his commitment to exploring mass transit options for Southern Maryland commuters. But Gov. Martin O'Malley's transportation chief came with more sobering news: There is a backlog of about $40 billion in unfunded transportation projects across the state.
Porcari said he did not know when the state would be able to finance capital projects in Southern Maryland, including constructing a bypass of Route 301 in Waldorf and expanding the Gov. Harry Nice Bridge in southern Charles.
"It's no secret that the capital program we have this year has no new programs," Porcari said. "We have been struggling, to be blunt about it."
Complicating matters, Porcari said, is that the federal transportation trust fund, the primary source of federal dollars for transportation projects, is expected to run dry by 2009.
"We have the equivalent of a perfect storm here," Porcari said.
The state's top transportation priority is maintaining existing roads and bridges before investing in new infrastructure, Porcari said. Keeping pace with maintenance has become very expensive, he said, as costs have soared for materials such as steel, cement, asphalt and aggregate.
"The transportation system has gotten larger, it's gotten older and it's gotten much more difficult to maintain," Porcari said.
After his morning meeting with Charles commissioners, Porcari traveled to Montgomery County for a news conference with O'Malley (D). There, the governor unveiled his proposal to spend nearly $400 million a year more on transportation priorities to be funded in part by an increase in the gasoline tax.
Ronald L. Freeland, executive secretary of the Maryland Transportation Authority, which manages the state's toll bridges, told the Charles commissioners that his agency has made progress on a future expansion of the Nice Bridge, which carries Route 301 across the Potomac River. Freeland said he has reached out to officials in King George County, Va., the Navy facility at Dahlgreen, Va., and the Virginia Department of Transportation.
"There's considerable interest and support for this project," Freeland said. "We're not really receiving any resistance from Virginia."
Southern Maryland officials seemed pleased with Porcari's report, particularly his announcement that the state will study a future corridor for a new light-rail line. Porcari's report comes a week after Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) met with Charles commissioners and signaled her support for a light-rail line into Waldorf.
The rail line likely would follow Route 301 and Route 5 from White Plains, through Waldorf and into Prince George's County, officials said. The state's corridor study will identify land that Charles and Prince George's need to preserve for a future rail line and stations.
Also this week, state transportation officials outlined plans for a major expansion of MARC, the state's commuter rail service, that would triple capacity over the next three decades. The MARC expansion plans, which include extending service to Northern Virginia and Delaware, do not include bringing service to Southern Maryland.
But that's perfectly fine, said Commissioner Gary V. Hodge (D-St. Charles). He said Southern Maryland doesn't need MARC service or Metro service, but rather would benefit from light-rail passenger cars similar to the trolley-type cars in downtown Baltimore.
"If we were to extend MARC to Waldorf, or if we were to extend Metro's Green Line to Waldorf, that would be a spark for more rapid growth than we are prepared to handle in Southern Maryland," Hodge said.
"We're on a separate track here to do something that is specifically designed on a scale for the needs of our residents," he added.

There are multiple reasons you should watch this video, but if you happen to click the thumbnail simply because you find Gina Carano ridiculously attractive and may have even dreamed of dying one day via triangle choke by her, than I can't say that I blame you. But aside from that, Gina had some interesting things to share with SB Nation regarding womens MMA, a potential Rousey vs Cyborg fight, her fighting career and much more.
At least Ronda will leave your face pretty 8))…not sure about the arm though. Hope you come back.
Speak of the devil. Zip and I were just waxing about her on the Rhonda post.
I know one thing for sure….she's number one on my P4P list. Well, at least if "P" doesn't stand for "pound".
Or better yet….define "pound".
@MMA truth….Forget MMA, Gina could sell more pay per views mud wresting…..
I'd rather get kicked in the balls, then watch Gina get punched in the face…
If Gina comes back, Im heading to the sperm bank
@ Enjoy
Then I shall see you @ the bank. 🙂
Please, Gina is pretty, but I'm going to stay faithful to Meisha Tate. Ronda, on the other hand, is cute, but she has chubby cheeks 🙂
I like chubby cheeks.
@ Zip
Ha! Ha!
MMA Truth….Thats hilarious !
GINA!!!How I long forgot you.Shame…would be awesome to see her back.UFC would sign her no doubt even with huge layoff.Womens division needs all the help they can get.Looks wont hurt also. : )
ya about to get weak!! better back off my women! or ima tell her to kick ya on your head!
gina is a basketcase.. but damn she can kick"box" and looks super sexy
Easily the hottest successful woman fighter
would be less gay if you just said hottest successful fighter
Is Cyborg bonning her? Otherwise how can gina know she can make 135?
Had to bow out of the discussion early last night as the wife didn't take kindly to the topic. However, since she is not here at the moment… man Gina is hot, that smile, those eyes, just gorgeous.
@Truth – Yeah, I noted the red meat you threw my way. But here's how that went . . . Rhonda, Gina, then…. Hilary. I needed time to recover.
I didn't really get the feeling from this interview that most others did, I think it's pretty obvious from here she isn't coming back.
When she gets asked a million times if she is coming back she is not going to blow everyone off and cut her ties to the sport and she knows anything can happen so she just says anything can happen but she isn't making it out like she expects to be back in the cage next year.
Also how creepy is that guy flirting with her after she says he is okay haha
@ Keith
How could you not flirt with her?

In an interview with ESPN's Colleen Dominguez on Tuesday, Tiger Woods discussed the upcoming Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and lauded the golfing prowess of his playing partner, Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo.
According to the accompanying article on ESPN Dallas today, Romo has been texting Woods and sending him video of his swing in anticipation of the tournament for a few weeks now.
"He's just so fired up about playing," Woods said. "He's a hell of a golfer to begin with. He's a scratch golfer. To him this is like a dream come true for him to come out and play in this type of event."
Woods continued that Romo wasn't content to merely enjoy a few days on the links.
"He wants to not just make the cut," Woods said. "He wants to win the tournament so he's trying to figure out, 'How many birdies I need to make and blah blah blah.' And I said, 'OK, well, why don't we just both play well at the same time.'"

Japanese samurai are famous all over the world, but one Belgian man has taken his passion for these medieval warriors to a whole new level by making his own authentic armor from thousands of custom metal pieces and hundreds of meters of cord.
Danny had always been fascinated by the history and culture of the samurai. He began collecting Japanese swords when he was 16 years old, and dreamed of one day owning his very own armor. He couldn't afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars on an authentic samurai costume, and replicas, though cheaper, weren't built for his impressive nearly two-meters-tall size. But he wasn't going to give up on his dream too easily, and with the help of some supportive metalworking friends, the now 42-year-old bank teller set out to build his own samurai armor. Just like the Japanese craftsmen of old, Dennis assembled his protective suit out of traditional chainmail and 3,000 small pieces of metal, every one of which was hammered by hand to the correct shape and size, strung together with 225 meters of cord. It took two long years to finish the whole thing, but the end result is simply breathtaking.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

A 25-year-old died of natural causes after struggling to control his diabetes, an inquest heard.
Bleddyn Duffy was found dead at his home on Horbny Road, Blackpool, on May 29 by his mother, who had called in after not hearing from him.
Mr Duffy had began initiation training for the army when he was diagnosed with insulin-controlled diabetes three years ago. He was medically discharged because of the condition.
Blackpool Coroner's Court heard yesterday at first Mr Duffy controlled his diabetes and regularly attended the doctors but as time went on he refused to attend appointments and starting missing his insulin doses, causing him to fit.
In the days before his death, he had complained of chest pains.
A post mortem found he died of diabetic ketoacidosis
In a statement, Mr Duffy's mother Carol Duffy said: "I feel devastated because of what happened. He was struggling with his life and he died.
"He never fully accepted his illness. If he had accepted medical help things would have been different."
Recording a narrative verdict, Blackpool coroner Alan Wilson said the condition had "perhaps developed following a period of inadequate control of his diabetes".

I actually considered buying sequin pants this season… still might have to.
Did you see Grace's new Etsy shop?
So I'm speaking at ALT Summit again this year (last year was Up & Coming Blogs, this year I'm on the Social Media panel), so if you have any questions about social media for bloggers leave them in the comments and hopefully we can address them! See my other ALT Summit posts from last year: information recap, the Mega Link List and snapshots.
Right after ALT I'm headed to Vegas baby! I've never been to Vegas (I know!) so my virginity will be taken! I'm sooooooo excited! I'm going to the Vegas Furniture Market thanks to the Las Vegas Design Center where me and Ashlina (The Decorista) are gonna get down with some furniture.
Pretty sure I need some new luggage for this year, mine is looking a little ragged. Do you have any suggestions?
But before I leave for ALT and Vegas (which is only 10 days away OMG)…
Katie and I will be launching the Valentine's Day issue of to & from — that's right, a gift guide completely dedicated to the ones you love! There are just a few days left if you'd like to advertise in this issue — email us at email@example.com for info!
AND next week I'm launching my first-ever line of products. Well at first it's just one product, and each month a new one will be added, but they will all be limited edition so you'll have to get them while they're hot. So excited to share this it's killing me.
Also in the next few weeks I'll be launching another biz that you'll have to stay tuned for! Eeeee! So much going on — so exciting! (And I'm kind of getting hives from all I have to do, but that's ok!)
What do you have going on/coming up?

LOS ANGELES, June 25 (UPI) -- Yeah Yeah Yeahs' charismatic frontwoman Karen O has already struck out on her own -- she performed her Oscar-nominated single "The Moon Song," from Spike Jonze's Her, at the Academy Awards in March.
But she's about to drop her first-ever solo album.
The 35-year-old singer, whose real name is Karen Orzolek, announced Wednesday that she would release an LP titled Crush Songs, a collection of tunes recorded in 2006 and 2007.
"When I was 27, I crushed a lot. I wasn't sure I'd ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time," she said in a release about the upcoming album. "They were the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours."
Karen O also shared the album cover art, which features her own drawings, on Twitter.
#CrushSongs will first be available pre-release as a ltd, special edition vinyl on @CultRecords pic.twitter.com/OzKVaeLARS— Karen O (@KarenO) June 25, 2014

I have a HTC Desire C, with unlocked bootloader and sim unlock done, now need to install a ROM.
The terminal will be for my mother, which need a stable ROM (I guess based 4.0.3) and it is clean of unnecessary apps, as clean as possible.
Then I'll install the Big Launcher (for example) so that my mother would be easy and can see things you can not see very well up close.
I appreciate the help.

Eric Holder DOJ didn't just tap the Associated Press reporters. According to California Rep. Devin Nunes, Eric Holder and his DOJ also tapped what's called the House of Representatives Cloakroom. What exactly is a cloakroom? It's basically a place were Senators and Reps. meet and mingle. Cloakroos are closed to everyone except Senators, Representatives, and a few of their trusted staffers. Oh, I guess they aren't closed to Eric Holder's Department of 'Justice' or Obama either. Devin Nunes dropped this latest bombshell on the Hugh Hewitt radio show earlier.
HH: The idea that this might be a Geithner-Axelrod plan, and by that, the sort of intimation, Henry II style, will no one rid me of this turbulent priest, will no one rid me of these turbulent Tea Parties, that might have just been a hint, a shift of an eyebrow, a change in the tone of voice. That's going to take a long time to get to. I don't trust the Department of Justice on this. Do you, Congressman Nunes?
DN: No, I absolutely do not, especially after this wiretapping incident, essentially, of the House of Representative. I don't think people are focusing on the right thing when they talk about going after the AP reporters. The big problem that I see is that they actually tapped right where I'm sitting right now, the Cloak Room.
HH: Wait a minute, this is news to me.
DN: The Cloak Room in the House of Representatives.
HH: I have no idea what you're talking about.
DN: So when they went after the AP reporters, right? Went after all of their phone records, they went after the phone records, including right up here in the House Gallery, right up from where I'm sitting right now. So you have a real separation of powers issue that did this really rise to the level that you would have to get phone records that would, that would most likely include members of Congress, because as you know…
HH: Wow.
Gee, I Wonder who else was tapped by Eric Holder? Does Fox News have a cloakroom?

High-speed presses for 4-color, variable-data output.
Punch Graphix now offers a family of high-speed, variable-data color presses under its Xeikon brand name-the Xeikon 4000, 5000plus, and 6000. These single-pass duplex printers all utilize 4-color Xeikon FA toner, feature a 600-dpi resolution, and print variable data onto media rolls up to 20-in. wide.

All vary slightly on the thicknesses of compatible media, speeds, and duty cycles.
The Xeikon 4000 is the company's entry-level press. Compatible with media from 40 to 250 gsm, it features two speeds up to 130 ppm, and duty cycles of up to 2.7 million pages/month (at 3 shift/day, 5 days/week). The Xeikon 5000plus offers three print speeds up to 130 ppm, media compatibility from 40 to 350 gsm, and a monthly duty cycle up to 3 million pages/month.

The Truepress utilizes CMYK water-based pigment inks that resist degradation caused by exposure to water and light and exhibit good drying properties with uncoated stock. The Seiko Epson printheads produce multi-tone printing with a color depth of 4 tones per drop (2-bit imaging) for each color.
This printer comes with the printing unit and a rewinder/unwinder. Users can connect the Truepress to a variety of inline post-processing equipment.
Xerox offers several presses for high-speed, variable-data production: the iGen3 110 and 90, plus the DocuColor 5000, 6060, and 7000/8000.

Our 10 month old weimaraner, Sadie, LOVES Choo Choo Dog Camp! She attends twice weekly and she can't wait to get in once we arrive at Choo Choo. The Dog Camp gives her the unique opportunity to meet new friends, exercise and socialize. Whenever we pick her up later in the day, Sadie is always happy and very tired, after playing all day with her friends. It is nice to have her "mellowed out" at home after a full "dog's day out".
Sallie & Randy – Flintstone, GA
Our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks
Choo Choo Dog Camp is the best! Our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks are usually uncomfortable with being dropped of anywhere – they think VET – but, we were pleasantly surprised! The dogs were tentative at first, but the environment created by Liz Fortanier, is so well thought out and her staff so attentive, that our dogs quickly joined in with the other dogs and had a blast! The design of the camp is wonderful – from the thick, rubber mats that they play on indoors to the wide, open outdoor play area. The building is very clean and it shows that Ms Fortanier has nothing but the highest concern for her four footed clients. When we pick them up they are happy and exhausted from playing! I particularly like the "Report Cards" that are given out at the end of a day. It lets you know what they spent their time doing, if there were any problems and even if they have a crush on another daycamper or not! Now, the dogs get excited when they are asked to jump into the car – they think DAY CAMP! Five stars out of five – we did not know a place like this existed!
Matt & Robin – Lookout Mountain, GA
The Choo Choo Dog Camp is a perfect fit for my puppy Fendi and I would highly recommend it, without any hesitation, to all dog lovers. As soon as I walked in the door and met Liz I knew immediately that her high standards met my high expectations. I toured the facility, saw how the dogs were cared for and left with a very good feeling about my visit. After a few weeks of attending day camp, Fendi literally jumps out of my arms into Liz's arms every morning and gets so excited when we pull into the Choo Choo Dog Camp. She loves being there !!!! When I pick her up at night she is very happy and I can tell she played most of the day with her new friends. This has made training very easy because when she gets home she can focus on learning as she has already played all day. I am grateful there is such a wonderful place to care for Fendi while I am at the office. I trust Liz and her team at the Choo Choo Dog Camp 110% to take exceptional care of Fendi. And I must admit that I really look forward to reading the weekly report card that Liz gives me that updates me on how Fendi interacted with the other campers. Cheers to all dog lovers.
Rebecca M. – Ooltewah, TN
Liz and her staff do a fantastic job working with all of the dogs to provide a fun and learning experience in a low stress environment. My dog Lucy has come a long way in learning how to politely interact with other dogs since starting at Choo Choo Dog Camp.
Wade – Chattanooga, TN
Thanks so much for opening this wonderful facility. I knew Winston would be a Choo Choo dog the first day I picked up this 10 month old high energy pooch from his day at "camp" and found him happy and tired from playing with his new BFF's (best friends forever). Clean, caring, fun…for what more could a pet owner ask?
Emma – Chattanooga, TN
Shorty has been a Choo Choo camper since she was 6 mo. old. She looks forward to her visits and starts to wag as soon as we get in the parking lot. I know she is getting the best care, and knowing that gives me peace of mind when we travel and she boards at Choo Choo. Liz and her staff treat Shorty like their own. I am very glad to have such a professional facility in our area.
Virginia – Lookout Mountain, GA
Abbie Our Australian Shepherd, Abbie, loves going to day camp weekly at Choo Choo Day Camp! Abbie knows where we are when we pull up to the front door, and gets so excited. She loves playing with her 'pack' and comes home happy and exhausted from playing all day. The wonderful staff at Choo Choo Dog Camp makes us very comfortable leaving Abbie there for the day and we know she is playing in a safe, dog friendly environment. The report cards that are sent home weekly are wonderful too. Doggie day camp has been a blessing having a young, high energy dog while living downtown. Thank you, Choo Choo Day Camp! Mackenzie & Joe – Chattanooga, TNAbbie

Hi Guiseppe,my neghbour today!
I would not have noticed that this is a HDR.
Great shot of this archeological site,taken from a good high POV.Love the golden light at the ruins here and the pink/purple tones of the landscape and sky in the far distance.
krzbia (398) 2011-01-24 13:37
Wow, this is like out-of-our-world photo. The sunset colouring makes it even stranger with light coloured ruins and pink-violet sands. I like the pov and framing here, although the bottom seems to be slightly bend due to the lens distortion (am i right?).
annjackman (21903) 2011-01-24 23:22
Hello Giuseppe,
An interesting picture photographed very well. The low light emphasises the ruins beautifully. Great depth to the desert landscape with excellent pink/blue tones.

Hot guys + baby animals = genius
Somebody must have done this before. There's got to be a 1978 calendar buried in someone's basement somewhere featuring topless guys in tight pants with lush mustaches and fluffy wittle kittens. But we've never seen it. So we're kind of getting a kick out of Hot Guys and Baby Animals, the new Recess Peanut Butter Cup of the novelty gift industry. Their first product is a 2010 calendar – a portion of the proceeds go to various nonprofit animal rescues, including Bunny World Foundation and Karma Rescue. Apparently, every baby animal in the calendar is a rescue and many of them still need homes (though at least one male model — "Mr. March" — ended up adopting one of the dogs from the shoot, aaaaaawwww). See some behind the scenes stuff here. There should still be enough time to get one for your mom for Christmas.

Townsquare Media Staff Remember Their First Kiss – What Was Yours?
I found something the other day that said it was National Kissing Day, seems there is a day for everything now. Anyway I got to thinking about my first kiss and what it was like and how much detail I remember. I think a first kiss is something we all remember in great detail, where you were, what you were wearing, what cologne the guy had on, etc. So I asked a few co-workers to remember their first kisses and here's what I found out.
