Committee will craft state budget compromise
A legislative conference committee soon will begin deliberations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the state budget, which would take effect July 1. "We are cautiously optimistic that a solid, fiscally prudent budget will emerge from conference and be voted into law within the next few weeks," House Speaker William J. Howell, R-Stafford, said Tuesday. A number of sticking points could delay any agreement. They include road tolls in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, different provisions on Medicaid eligibility and the shuffling of money between education and transportation. The Republican-heavy conference committee could mean that a budget looking more like the House version will come out of the deliberations. "With various localities and agencies waiting for final adoption of the budget, I hope that the conferees will produce a balanced conference report for final passage in short order," Howell said. Senate Democrats were able to use the evenly divided chamber to their advantage for the first time. As lieutenant governor, Republican Bill Bolling has been able to cast tie-breaking votes on legislation, essentially giving Republicans an unofficial majority in the chamber. However, he cannot cast the deciding vote on matters pertaining to the budget. Democrats pushed the advantage to force a budget more to their liking. It kept more money in education and pushed back tolls in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, according to Delegate Mark Sickles, D-Franconia. "What the Senate has done is exactly what House Democrats were fighting for during each round of the budget process," Sickles said. A sizable Republican majority in the House blocked passage of the Senate version of the budget, setting the stage for joint budget conference meetings. A panel of senators and delegates will compare the two budgets, see where they don't match up and try to hammer out a compromise. The result would go to both the House and Senate for final approval. The budget conference committee consists of six representatives from each chamber. The panel has eight Republicans, including House Majority Leader Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights; three Democrats; and one independent, Delegate Lacey Putney of Bedford. Putney chairs the House Appropriations Committee. |
VBS seeks blood donations
Citizen Staff Reports 12/16/2013
Virginia Blood Services (VBS), the sole supplier of blood for more than 20 hospitals throughout the state of Virginia, is in need of blood donors to help replenish the local blood supply over the holidays.
A decline in blood donations is typical during the winter months as people become busy with holiday activities and travel. Patient needs remain steady, however, making it important for people to visit a VBS donor site or mobile drive to give blood. > Read more.

Whitney Houston's body was ravaged by scars, cuts and burns when she died, autopsy details showed.
Years of drug and alcohol abuse had left the "Bodyguard" star with a damaged heart and liver, a hole in her nose and 11 front teeth missing.
She also had a needle mark on one arm and was high on a cocktail of nine drugs when she died in a hotel bath in Los Angeles on Feb. 11, 2012.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
That's my take on this.
The hotel better be ready for a lawsuit if they set their hot water temp this high.
120 DEGF is plenty.
OMG - what a nightmare! At some level she had to know...
I have always wondered why she was never arrested. It was no secret she used drugs.
Had the world by the short hairs and threw it all away, what a waste.
In the end, she was nothing but a skank. A rich, but now dead, skank.
What has her paycheck to do with anything?
Some BS here. I have my hot water set on 140 and I had to do it myself because the installer refused...I like doing my clothes and dishes in very hot water and I am extremely careful with this hot tap water. I don't believe hotels have water even as hot as mine.
LOL...you ASSume way too much.
Elvis too, died near broke, drugged, and in a bathroom. But at least, he had all 10 of his front teeth.
How do they know that?
The killer confessed!
She flopped face-first into a 160-degF bath.
This is horrific, shows you the absolute pit of despair drugs can sink you into.
Can we put this thread on hold and criticize the hell out of her tomorrow?
Have you read something different then this full article. It says her back was burned from getting INTO the tub. Also skin was slipping off her leg.
Don't trip over your outrage and fall head first into a tub of scalding water: "... every fallen service member from New Jersey has received the honor during [Christie's] administration."
Whitney Houston autopsy: Singer's body had trauma from fall into bathtub, was suffering from emphysema
The singer likely suffered a cocaine-induced 'cardiac event,' says coroner
A lot of people seem to be reading a different article then is linked here. I finally read it and it does indicate the water may have been about that hot but it says her BACK was burned from getting INTO the tub and the skin on her legs was sluffing off.
Whitney Houston was standing outside her hotel bathtub when something caused her to crash facedown into the scalding water, a famed forensic pathologist concluded Thursday.
The blazing bath was too hot for soaking, and injuries on Houston's forehead, chest and upper lip suggest trauma from a fall, former Pittsburgh coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht told the Daily News.
Put everything together, and you have somebody who had to be unconscious falling into the water, Wecht said. She falls in and strikes those places and then presses against them as her body is down.
Why the nasty attitude?
Beats me.
My point is just this, Whitney contributed to this society though she obviously fell short as we all do.
I have many fond memories of her music as I came of age in the 80's.
The 80's for me was a decade of youth in my 20's, I did a lot of things that I am not proud of but at least had a Country with promise of the future...can't say that now.
Call me nostalgic, forgiving of a fellow human who perished under tragic circumstances...throw in the fact that it is Easter and well, my previous comment.
I am no better than she was, though she made more money than I did.
"Evidence from police and medical teams showed swaths of skin was burned from Houston's back after she got into the scalding water. It also resulted in "skin slippage" on her legs.
I guess it doesn't really matter one way or the other. She is now dead.
What does Houston's autopsy have to do with Cristy's flying a flag at half staff?
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Only one "save" and he only lasted a couple days from ER to ICU.
maybe she was bobbing for enamel
The elephant in the room—or bathroom—is the illegal drug industry that is consuming more than one talented singer. It is consuming other singers and talented people around the world. It is capturing our youth who cannot find legitimate work and holding them under the spell of addiction. If there is a real world case of a Zombie nation, this is it.
If we were to stop the Cocaine and Heroin market by burning the Cocaine fields and the Opium fields, a huge number of parasites on these drugs would go in a panic. How will they make a living? Where will they get that chemical joy? The reaction, I am afraid, would be an epidemic of thefts to make up for the lost income, looting and armed robberies of drug stores and pharmaceuticals for the legal drugs.
The only answer is a turning to Jesus Christ and the renewing of America's moral heritage. When humans, with their fragile spirits, have Christ in their hearts, no drug can ever equal the joy it brings in ones life. It is tragic that secular America has taught our youth to laugh at that idea.
Why do you think they call it dope!?
Living the empty godless Hollywhack lifestyle is a killer.
He is Risen
But the official cause of death was still defined as "accidental drowning" with contributing factors.
That will sound a lot better in the coming biographies and bio-pic than "crazy as an outhouse rat from long years of drug abuse".
....................She climbed into a 160-degF "bath"..................
I find that temperature highly questionable! She coulda' gone to McDonalds and let hot coffee singe her privates and make a coupla million!
....................She climbed into a 160-degF "bath"..................
I find that temperature highly questionable! She coulda' gone to McDonalds and let hot coffee singe her privates and make a coupla million!
I am sorry. She was beautiful and had a great voice.
I've seen it given as 150 in some articles and 160 in others, but either way, that's too freakin' hot. Normally 120 is considered about right, 130 is extremely hot, and 140 is dangerously hot.
Haha...your moniker fits you well.
Her autopsy drives home and reinforces the fact that Christie ordered the flags flown at half staff for a lousy, celebrity junkie.
It does doesn't it?
What Christy did was of his own stupid volition, it has nothing to do with the unfortunate demise of Houston and her circumstances, he chose to do it.
Again, it has nothing to do with this thread and her autopsy results.
Dye your hair Brunette, maybe then you'll learn to differentiate ;)
"... every fallen service member from New Jersey has received the honor during [Christie's] administration."
Thanks for the answer. It was a legitimate question.
Isn't it amazing how some of the members have a bizarre need to deify a self destructive disco diva?
Hey, her music will "live forever"!
The comment was perfectly appropriate and had everything to do with the subject of Whitney Houston.
I wasn't expecting an attack a pop-diva fanatic, thanks for the support!
"She climbed into a 160-degF "bath" and drowned"
On her own? I don't know about you, but not even with sedatives, nor after major surgery on a morphine drip, would I put more than a briefly-immersed toe into 160-degree water.
Yes, her singing came from great courage, and invoked enormous energy. Sometimes I think the reason so many performing artists get into drugs is that the energy that pours through them from having millions of people focus on them is literally unbearable. So they turn to drugs to help moderate the effect, and then the drugs take their inevitable course.
People are so very quick to damn. So many people seem to be religious just to have a position from which to pronounce the failings of others, and lick the tasty treat of the idea of them in hell.
When in actuality, they never faced on their darkest day, what the victims of their scorn had to endure for years.
It reminds me of that warning in the Bible: "I know you not."
I have many fond memories of her music as I came of age in the 80's.
I'm from the same era, but my tastes ran more towards Led Zepplin and AC/DC.
Of course, when Bon Scott and Jon Bonham chocked to death on their own vomit, their deaths were due to foolish and self destructive behavior.
That didn't change the fact that they were great artists. The fact that they were great artists didn't change the fact that they died foolishly.
Whitney Houston's death was sad, unfortunate and unnecessary. She was a pop diva.
Well said.
Obviously too many idolize the morons in Hollywood who pretend to be somebody.
They read lines written by others,and so called act out "our lives".Be it police,fire,lawyers,Drs.nurses,farmers etc....then have a big party in Hollywood where they honor themselves.
Go figure.

With all the twisted comments on this article, why is LVR busting my chops?
(Besides, he hit me first, pissed that I preempted his planned "her music will last forever" post.)
How does she warrant the same honors as those given to fallen warriors?
If you think her music has earned her such honors, I'll remind you of your words..."Yet she made more money then you will ever see in your life time."
Between money, grammies and fame, she has already received honors and recognition.
Jimmy Page is a great artist. I'll be just as annoyed if our flag is flown at half staff when he dies.
Our flag is more than a piece of cloth and it should not be flown at half staff with such wanton disregard for its prestige.
Why don't you defend the indefensible instead of running for support??
Yo nooob, if'n you can't stand the heat git out of the kitchen.
You ain't paid yer dues to go cryin, yet.
The only answer is a turning to Jesus Christ and the renewing of Americas moral heritage

Right-of-Way Management Program Overview
The Street Use section in the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is responsible for permitting all work in Seattle's rights-of-way (ROW) - the land above and below ground that encompasses the City's streets. The current disparate processes for permit authorization, long range ROW usage planning, maintenance work and public communications do not support overall integrated management of the ROW. Based on the City's past experience with public projects, we know that the existing processes and toolset inhibit our ability to effectively manage work in the ROW. These constraints will be exacerbated as currently planned public projects begin. Over the next 10 years, SDOT will participate in the management of the biggest public works projects the city has undertaken in 50 years. At the same time utility construction will continue and up to 39 high-rise developments are scheduled in the Center City. As you can see from the diagram below, in a typical year the volume of permitted projects is significant. If we consider the new public projects anticipated to occur in this same vicinity, the impacts to traffic needing to use these thoroughfares could be severe. It is clear that a significant change is needed in the way that the City plans, permits and coordinates work in the ROW.
It is apparent that SDOT must manage the rights-of-way more comprehensively in the future. This requires new processes and tools that improve the City's ability to plan, authorize, coordinate, analyze and communicate use of the ROW. The Right-of-Way Management (ROWM) Program includes ten projects focused on providing the tools and processes necessary to achieve our vision for Right-of-Way Management. The projects include improvements to planning, coordinating, permitting, analyzing and communicating work in the City's ROW. In combination, these projects are designed to improve mobility while allowing for maintenance of the City's infrastructure.
To improve the free and safe flow of people and freight while balancing infrastructure maintenance and capital construction by:
This program is designed to achieve the following benefits for the citizens of Seattle:
The ROWM Program began in 2003 and ran through end of 2007. The program completed on schedule and under budget. We made incremental improvements by implementing a set of nine projects designed to deliver the components necessary to increase mobility throughout the city and comprehensively manage the ROW. The following graphic depicts a high-level timeline for the ROWM projects. Click on the hotlinks on the graphic for project-specific information.

Abstract: This study examined the relationship between physical self-perception and the involvement of Jamaican youths in sport and physical activity. A sample of 1052 high school students aged between 12 and 19 years completed a Background Information Questionnaire and the Physical Self-Perception Profile. Participants were involved in competitive sport and recreational physical activities, or were non-participants in sport. Results revealed that the 5-factor structure of the PSPP as proposed by Fox and Corbin (1989) was not appropriate for the data obtained. A three-factor model based on the original PSPP items was proposed, consisting of the factors of Physical Self-Worth, Physical Appearance, and Physical Competence. Significant differences between different levels of sport participation on the three factors were found amongst these factors. Practical implications and proposal for further investigation of physical self-concept measures in this culture are made. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1104 Files in this item: 1

Ann Arbor startup plans to build autonomous flying robots
Melanie Maxwell I AnnArbor.com
This past August, the U-M team met that objective when its design outperformed robots from 20 other universities from around the world.
It was the third year participants attempted to conquer the competition's sixth mission wherein competing robots had to fly into a building through an open window, navigate the course to retrieve a target flash drive, leave a decoy in place of the drive, and exit the building.
No robot fulfilled the mission objectives completely. In fact, some self-terminated inside the course, per the competition's rules.
On their best run, the U-M team didn't bother programming its robot to pick up the flash drive, due to retrieval malfunctions it had suffered on previous runs.
"In the last attempt, we just wanted to prove that we could be at first place," Ellis said.
That prudence paid off -- their robot stole the show when it autonomously navigated the entire course in under five minutes without bumping into anything.
Inspired by their success, Ellis and his peers aimed their sights higher. They started a company to commercialize autonomous aerial robot technology for industrial applications.
The company, SkySpecs, took the $50,000 first place prize at the fifth annual Michigan Clean Energy Venture Challenge Feb. 15 at the Ross School of Business.
"It's really not about the prize money, it's just a small incentive," Ellis said.
SkySpecs was one of 20 teams from 10 Michigan universities that made it to the challenge's semi-finals.
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Although only recently founded, the company has raised $100,000 from private investors and business competitions like the clean energy challenge.
Ellis said production hasn't started yet and will be small-scale for the first few years.
"We have to prove there is a market segment, paying customers, and a solution that fits their problems," he said. "...Our target is to be selling 600 units a year by 2017."
The robot the company is developing will be significantly different from the one the U-M team designed.
"The student team's vehicle was built for a very particular application," he said. "We are designing for commercial and industrial applications."
Ellis estimated the production model will weigh around 11 pounds and cost about $50,000, due largely to its various expensive sensors.
"The vehicle is incorporated with cameras, ultrasonic sensors, thermal sensors," he said.
While the U-M team's robot used a laser sensor to scan 40,000 points per second as it navigated an environment, SkySpecs' production model will rely on sophisticated cameras instead.
"We're really focusing on the visual side, basically using the cameras the way a human does," Ellis said.
The robot's modular design features a circular center platform from which four rotor-bearing arms extend. A number of specialized cameras or sensors can be installed interchangeably on top of the platform.
"Our biggest goal is anyone can take it out of the box and fly it, just completely untrained," he said.
The robot will not require any programming by users. Instead, they will interact with it via a touch-screen tablet.
"This will have high level commands and the ability to place way-points in the environment that the vehicle will follow," he said.
The high-level commands will vary with market and application, but may include take off, land, return to home, hold position, explore environment and more.
"The learning curve to operate our vehicle will be minimal," he said.
Ellis said "no tools are necessary." In fact, he said an engineer or soldier could remove the arms or exchange the sensors without even taking her or his gloves off.
"It can go in a harsh environment, be waterproof, run into things and bounce off and be fine," he said.
Though a production model hasn't been built yet, Ellis said the molds are ready and the airframe will be done this week.
SkySpecs plans to market its robots to civil engineers first. Ellis said there are currently many situations where engineers expend large amounts of time in hazardous environments inspecting structures and equipment.
"It's expensive, time consuming and dangerous," he said. "We want to remove that need."
The robot, though unable to fix anything, would autonomously fly to whatever destination an engineer sent it to and use its sensors to gather large amounts of data that the engineer could analyze later.
Ellis said this would enable engineers to analyze the integrity of bridges, large wind turbines and other structures without putting themselves in danger.
"We thought early on that there might be some resistance in the market, because we're removing people's jobs," Ellis said. "But they don't want to be hanging from those structures either We're not necessarily removing a job. We're just giving them a different tool to complete their job."
But Ellis said civil engineering is only the beginning.
"There are so many applications with the same exact platform," he said.
For example, Ellis said snowboarders could use them to take aerial photos and video for personal or promotional use.
A more conventional application the group is considering is military reconnaissance. Ellis said SkySpecs would have a strong competitive edge in that market because their design doesn't require user control, making it very attractive to soldiers.
"If they have to take the gun out of their hands to use a controller, then they don't want to do it," he said. "So they want it to be autonomous--just click a button to deploy and let it do its thing while they can continue on their mission. "
SkySpecs currently has four founders and two employees. Ellis said for the time being, the company's base of operation is his house.
Though the SkySpecs crew will no longer participate on the U-M student team, Ellis said the team is still running and the company may offer employment to future students.
"As we grow and as we can employ more, it's a great feeding ground for us to go to," he said.

Hi folks,
This may not be a ROG question, but it's definitely belongs to Build Advice...
I have a project (http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread...untry=&status=), where I'm gonna use two Swiftech MCP-655 Vario pumps. I'm planning to use these because I already have them - just to clarify the situation.
So, as many of you may be familiar with these pumps, they have a built in speed controller on their back side. Now, my problem is that in the way I'm planning to mount them, I will have very restricted access to the built in controllers.
My question is: Could I use an external speed controller with these pumps? I was thinking to set up the built in controllers at maximum, then control the their speed with a bay-mounted controller.
Has anyone some experience with this? Will it work? What external pump controller would be the best?
Thanks in advance for any input!

The EPA has released "America's Children and the Environment, Third Edition", which is a comprehensive compilation of information regarding children's health and the environment from several different sources.
The EPA's latest report, "America's Children and the Environment, Third Edition", shows the latest trends for contaminants in air, water, food, and soil that may affect children. The report also shows how concentrations of contaminants in the bodies of children and women can be harmful to the individuals who have been exposed those contaminants, as well as childhood illnesses and health conditions.
"This latest report provides important information for protecting America's most vulnerable – our children. It shows good progress on some issues, such as reducing children's blood lead levels and exposure to tobacco smoke in the home, and points to the need for continued focus on other issues", said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "Although we are encouraged by these findings, there is still much work to be done. By monitoring trends, identifying successes, and shedding light on areas that need further evaluation, we can continue to improve the health of our children and all Americans."
The level of knowledge regarding the relationship between environmental exposures and health outcomes varies widely among the topics presented. The report provides data for selected children's health conditions that warrant further research because the causes, including possible contributing environmental factors, are complex and not well understood at this point.

In an interview with DigiTimes, ASUS general manager of motherboard business Joe Hsieh commented on reports of Intel abandoning CPU sockets in favor of processors being hardwired to motherboards in BGA packages. Hsieh said that the issue will not be as bad as people think and Intel could find a strategy that allows both soldered and socketed processors to be sold, which is much like today, except that hardwired processors are limited to notebooks (Core i3 and i5 processors in the BGA1224 package) and low-end Atom-driven desktop motherboards. What lends Hsieh's statement weight, apart from the fact that he leads the biggest PC motherboard design team, is that Intel recently denied those reports, saying it would provide socketed CPUs for "the foreseeable future." Last month, Japanese publication PC Watch, credited for generally accurate tech predictions based on information at hand, reported that following its 22 nm Core "Haswell" CPU family, Intel could transform its entry-, mainstream-, and performance-segment client CPUs to hardwired BGA packages, probably leaving socketed CPUs only to HEDT (high-end desktop) and enterprise Xeon processor lines. Other PC motherboard vendors DigiTimes spoke with echoed ASUS' opinion, they don't believe Intel could "suddenly" completely change the way processors are sold to consumers. Source: DigiTimes
There is only one thing good about soldered CPU's. You could theoretically pump much higher amps and higher wattages without setting pins on fire.
Which was exactly my original interpretation. I think whoever first picked up that rumor misunderstood the info, perhaps willfully. Adding BGA in addition to socket chips makes sense.
Yup, less electrical resistance but also better thermal contact with the motherboard. The CPU will more easily be able to dissipate heat into the motherboard, which could be good and bad. It depends on the motherboard manufacturer. It certainly could lower temps for the CPU. It also opens the possibility of converting the laptop market to SoC by moving a number of components in the PCH to the CPU. It could also reduce motherboard sizes which could give you more room for battery and use less power at the same time (if they take the SoC route).
I've been saying that cooling other side of the chip is also a smart thing to do. After all, CPU heats up both sides, not just the one to the cooler side but also to the mobo side. So making the mobo as heat conductive as posisble in the back and giving it option to stick a thermal pad on it and a thin but rather large heatsink. I'm sure that would help as well. Or in my case with Lian Li case, i'd want to connect back of the mobo to the entire aluminium side panel. It would make one giant heatsink. Along with internal CPU cooler.
You'll just set balls on fire instead of pins. Balls are even more fragile. Actually, the LGA socket itself is soldered to the motherboard with balls.
All I can think of is the 2900XT, which had silk-screening to appear as though it might be socketed...at least, my memory tells me it was 2900XT... I don't see any of this an issue. 10% of a multi-billion market is still billions...there's profit to be made by catering to enthusiasts...just might not be room for all the companies we have today.
How quickly all of you forget about baking your Xbox, your Nvidia board and others due to the extreme thermal loads put on the solder, and with how tiny the contact patches would need to be....... Yeah.
That was when the industry has first transitioned to lead-free solder. They've fixed that problem long ago, finding the right mix of metals without lead. That's why so many companies had a product or two that had issues...it was industry-wide.
Never say never. CPU's are heading towards a SoC-style design by the time Broadwell arrives anyways, why not take it all the way?
Yes...there is no reason to fear or fight the future...sides oneday.......cue mystical music...there will exist a tablet that have the power of a desk top ....we will alll have one....
Thats what I'm thinking, in the future our computers will be housed in tablets or even better smart phones. When you want to do work, or play games, you simply plug your smartphone into your desktop monitor. One device, that can be used at home, at work, or mobile.
.....hhhhmmmm monitor/docking station with intergrated/ interchangeble gpus for tablets or smart phone computers.... Man I need to patent before posting..
The lower and middle end will be carefully controlled to bring down power as a whole package working together, just like Intel did with ultra-book standards maybe. I don`t see why Intel needs to do that on the desktop though, its not required whatsoever. It only makes sense on the mobile side or small NUC like form factor stuff. Or maybe intel is having problems reducing power! especially on the IGP front. If we look at the mobile IGP (AMD & Intel), we see that AMD needs a fraction of the power that Intel needs for their IGP, the opposite can be said for Intel on the CPU vs AMD but still the CPU difference isn't as big as is on the IGP even then it still don`t make sense why they need to do that. It could be that Intel wants to cut out as many middle men as possible to gain profits as the markets decline, desperate times needs desperate measures maybe Yup, this last one kinda makes more sense
Heh. I remember those, but I doubt that they'll do that again. The are cooling considerations as well as the added circuit length by putting a CPU "card" into the motherboard. Also you're moving the CPU further away from the VRMs, which would be a step in the wrong direction imho. I suspect what this really means is that mobile chips and low-profile platforms will be soldered to the board, where mainstream and enthusiast markets will retain some form of socket to allow interchangeability. I would have to say the biggest benefit to BGA chips would be to reduce the overall height of components on the motherboard for mobile/low-profile devices to allow for lighter and thinner devices. Edit: Don't you love the off-die L2 cache?

Taste the happy. It appears the Bluths may be back in business. Nearly six years after being forced from the living rooms of our low quality, high cost mini-mansions, the critically acclaimed Arrested Development is finally being resurrected from the grave…or perhaps just coming out of the attic where it's been hiding.
Duane and I fell in love with this masterpiece when Myspace was relevant and Facebook was just for college kids. Unlike so many reality television failures that are forced down our throats, AD was witty with an intelligent approach to comedic storytelling. Mitch Hurwitz and his cast fused jokes seamlessly from episode to episode. The transition was so bold that Fox didn't know how to promote the Emmy winning series. We think they may have just been chicken.
Premiering in 2003, the struggle of middle son Michael Bluth trying to keep his dysfunctional, conservative family together following his father's imprisonment won over fans worldwide. Despite winning six Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe and a place as the single greatest show of all-time, it never earned the ratings it deserved, nor was it given the respect of the network.
Fox replaced the series in 2006 with the Pamela Anderson bust, 'Stacked' (pun intended), but not before a massive petition, letter writing campaign and the advent of social media pounding the Fox Network to Save Our Bluths. It ended rather abruptly with a shortened, yet brilliant third season and executive producer Ron Howard's insinuation of an upcoming movie.
Since that moment, we have been salivating over the possibility to see our Bluths on the screen again. From time to time, one of the countless people associated with the show would tell us that the movie was still in the pipeline and the script was being written. True fans never lost hope, even as months turned into years.
Sunday, we received the first concrete evidence and timeline of the revival of our beloved Bluths, plus a surprise that we have dreamed of. The entire main cast (Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat and creator, Mitch Hurwitz) reunited for the first time since the series ended at the New Yorker Festival and confirmed the movie will start shooting this summer.
Hurwitz is also planning 10 NEW episodes of the show, currently being shopped around to Showtime and Netflix as a precursor to the feature film slated for release in early 2013. The new episodes would focus on each individual character and what they've been up to since the series was killed by Fox. The new episodes would be a lead into the movie. According to Bateman, they hope to begin filming in the next year.
In other news, we still send Fox Network hate mail on occasion to let them know there is no forgiveness for cancellation of Arrested Development. They insist that they were a patsy. Their twin brother actually cancelled the show.
La kooka cha.

Step 9: Complete turbine and movie
Please post (or email me) any questions or comments and I'll do my best to answer them.
Thanks for reading,
and the perpetual motion comments? LMAO!!
If perpetual in the sense of forever, well highly improbable.
As to coupled occilator's with irreversible flows it happens in biology.
While the 1st law seems on the sturdiest ground experimentally.
The 2nd law as applied to thermodynamics is about energy density. Objects at a particular temperature if unrestricted by activation energies move spontaneously from high to low, and from dense to less dense.
3rd law that you can never break even except at 0 Kelvin is the add on law that may be cracked and or found exceptions too. Zeroth Law is just common sense as the commutative law of addition. It sets T.
3rd law is valid when considering reversible flows, but if one looks at coupled occilator s using irreversible flows out of phase one can see immediately that this is not necessarily so.
As to Boltzman you can argue that with irreversible flows that the state is not exactly returned to the same probabilistic state as before, but the averages can be! Think about that! That fits right in with Poincare thinking which informed Boltzmans work. So there is times arrow locally and as we extend the domain we get back to symmetry. Something exhibited in the real world, in chaos theory, and many other physical phenomena. Geometrically we can think of fractals.
So while it is true that in a simple expression of reversible processes the 3rd law is true, that we can only break even at 0 K and also can never reach 0 K because of Zeroth. We can always couple irreversible flows, which from a probabilistic standpoint cannot return to original state, but from a physical energy standpoint can return to the same average energy.
Awesome project, really :) I wanna try it!
Still, nothing is impossible.
And perpetual motion means that the machine generates more energy than it uses, which at 0 for 0 it wouldn't.
Get them working at Standard Temps and you will have yourself a Nobel Prize.
E is energy
-5 is the amount of energy required to keep it going
+5 is the amount of energy produced
Now imagine there's a load of 1 on it
It will slow.
The reason the battery has not worn down yet is its a very good regenerator.
Also you could have thermal power as in a coupled chemical occilator which would pass its thermal energy back and forth for a very long time and its resulting fluid power from the phase change would be greater than the losses of the thermal energy.
It's not perpetual, in that in time you will lose mass and you will lose energy, but if most of the energy is internal and insulated it can continue for a long time as long as it gets the small kick.
The best that can be done is highly regenerative systems which are coupled occilators.
In the end you only delay the inevitable.
such a cruel world.
In 16 billion years it will stabilise, the moon's orbit will be 1.6 times that of today and an earth day will be 55 current days long. You might then see the moon's orbit start to decay. But in 7 billon years the sun will be a red giant and destroy the earth and moon, so it's all academic.
strict definition: continuing or enduring forever.
practical definition: continuing an extremely long time.
Satellites are still in contact with a very thin atmosphere and so the orbit will decay. They aren't really in space.
Since the orbit of planets and moons will last billions of years, for all practical purposes it may as well be perpetual. It is of course not "true" perpetual motion as it will not last forever.
Yes, there will always be losses in any system (current physics) but it is the scale of the losses compared to the energy in the system that will determine how long the system will be in motion.
For me billions of years is practically perpetual motion.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it would be very useful, if it were possible...
It would need to spin at very high rpm or be very heavy. The problem is the bigger the flywheel the stronger the magnetic bearings need to be, I think there were/are limits to this and you could not make a large enough device to be practical. Also a large flywheel would need to be stationary as any large movments might cause the magnetic bearings to make physical contact. With the energies involved that could literally rip the device apart (explode).
The size of a flywheel to hold the same amount as a car battery would probably be much bigger and heavier than a car battery. Even if you could make it small enough you would never get 100% efficiency due to electrical resistance, magnetic "friction", etc. A room tempreture super conductor would solve some of these problems, and make it very efficient.
It seems chemical storage at the moment is a more practical solution. Chemical batteries are fairly simple devices and easy to make. Batteries are becoming smaller with greater capacities every year. New technologies will make them even more so.
They have a higher energy density storage than conventional batteries.
Also Ultracaps can't store the energy density but the can charge and discharge large amounts of power quickly with low ESR. Low ESR = essentially resistance to discharging their power. Conventional batteries if you try to discharge to quick will heat up and resist discharging.
Yes but losses tend to go up too. However if you had room temperature superconductors and you spun in an absolute vacuum. (Absolute vacuum being impossible) You could accelerate to the speed of light, except what would you make the material from? But if you could and couple the two of them together, but then the problem would be switching which would be limited to the speed of light.
Information problem.
argh Nature gets you again. Now if you can find away around the speed limit of the Universe.... ? Happy hunting.
Motors and generators are not 100% efficient. The best motors are about 95% efficient and the best generators about 80%. The rest of the energy is lost to heat and noise.
The Tesla turbine is also not 100% efficient, let's assume it is 90 %.
So if you put 100 units of energy into the motor, you get 95 units out to turn the turbine. The turbine then outputs 85.5 units of energy (95 x 90%) into the other turbine, which outputs 76.95 units of energy (85.5 x x90%).
This turns the generator which outputs 61.56 units of energy (76.95 x 80%) which is fed back into the motor ad the cycle begins again.
So your system runs down very quickly.
Also if this system was a coupled occilator where the natural reaction is pressure out of phase with temperature such that they could never reach equilibrium unless they lost mas or heat, what would you have?
I should say this is academic as there is no perfect insulator or seal.
But there are chemical systems which act in this manner and they require only small energy inputs from the outside to make up for losses. Their energy flows are much higher, how does one explain this. Resonance.
And internal energy is conserved and these small energy inputs feed one another. Take a look at the science of chaos or google chemical occilator.
So you can get more energy out of a device than you put in but you cant get more energy out that the entire energy flow of the system!
Think of it as a flow issue. Some of the flow can be converted to work but you cant convert 100% to work and you most certainly cant generate more than the flow. Thing is in dynamic systems you can have a dual flow system.
Say heat and a fluid flow. A chemical occilator passes heat an fluid back and forth but they do this slightly out of phase with one another. In facts its required or they would be at equilibrium. The heat is conserved as is the mass. The fluid flow can drive a turbine and not lose energy. The reason they don't reach equilibrium is that when one evolves a fluid its endothermic and the other is exothermic. In the real world this is temperature sensitive and they always leak mass in enough time.

It looks like some real estate is about to open up in Chatswin.

Without question, the hour of TV I have been most anticipating — and dreading — this week is the season, and for all we know, series finale of TNT's remarkable, brutal, bleak yet gripping cop drama Southland (Wednesday, 10/9c). Anticipating because each week, this series somehow raises the dramatic stakes for its characters, in a grueling but rewarding tour of duty through the socio-ethnic sprawl of Los Angeles. Dreading because Southland has almost always lived on the verge of ratings extinction, from the time TNT rescued the show after NBC dumped it before its second season could even premiere, and I fear (as do many) that this fifth season could very likely be its last hurrah. (Several of its stars have signed up for new work during this pilot season, perhaps seeing the writing on the wall.)read more
Tessa (Jane Levy) vs. Dalia (Carly Chaikin): It's the battle that's been brewing since Suburgatory started, and on Wednesday's hour-long season finale (8/7c on ABC), series creator and showrunner Emily Kapnek promises the fireworks will be well worth the wait. "There is just a full-blown, very wildly choreographed girlfight," she tells TVGuide.com. "It's kind of one of those moments where it was bound to happen and it's the only way to settle it. It's really an epic girlfight."
Unfortunately their long-awaited scuffle couldn't come at a worse time for their parents. In the final moments of last week's episode, George (Jeremy Sisto) and Dallas (Cheryl Hines) decided to move in together. So will Dalia and Tessa be able to work things out and co-habitate? Will George and Dallas actually go through with the big move? And what does Kapnek have planned for next season? Here are 5 more teases for what's on the horizon in Chatswin...read more

Dalia and Daddy Altman kissing in a tree. K-i-s — wait, what?!
Suburgatory threw fans not one, but two curveballs last week when the sophomore ABC sitcom revealed that that a) Dalia (Carly Chaikin) used to hook up with Noah's eldest daughter, Jenna (Courtney Merritt), and b) that she had a secret stash of pictures of her and George "Daddy" Altman (Jeremy Sisto) hidden in her sock drawer. But what does it all mean? Thankfully, not everything is exactly what it seems.

She sings. She dances. She makes music videos. Suburgatory's Dalia Royce may be Chatswin High's resident mean girl, but it's kind of hard to hate her.
Whether she's challenging her neighbor Tessa (Jane Levy) to a dance-off or burning up YouTube with her Rebecca Black-like single, "You Missed a Spot," Carly Chaikin's Dalia has quickly become a fan-favorite character on the ABC family comedy. Case in point: On last week's episode, Dalia delivered a completely off-key and slightly off-lyric rendition of "Send in the Clowns" at Marty's funeral. "I had an earpiece in... read more

While ABC's The Middle may not be the most popular, acclaimed or honored family comedy on TV, it is almost certainly the most relevant (and often the funniest).

To say the introduction of Tessa's mom on Suburgatory has been a long time coming is a little bit of an understatement.
"This was much later than we originally planned," creator and showrunner Emily Kapnek tells TVGuide.com of the debut of Tessa's long-gone mom Alex (played by Couples Retreat actress Malin Akerman). "We thought that we would get there by the [Season 1] finale and, at the same time, none of us were willing to rush that character in the door if we hadn't found the right person. It was really, really difficult, but Malin is the total package."

LEGOLAND California Resort is proud to announce the world's largest LEGO model is "landing" at LEGOLAND California on June 13, 2013. The LEGO Star Wars™ X-wing starfighter was unveiled for the first time on May 23 in New York's Times Square by the LEGO Group.
The actual X-wing coming to LEGOLAND California is a 1:1 replica made of five million LEGO bricks that took a team of 32 Master Model Builders more than 17,000 hours to construct. The model weighs more than 45,000 pounds, stands 11 feet tall and 43 feet long, with a wingspan of 44 feet. After its New York appearance, the X-wing is making the trip across the country to LEGOLAND California Resort where it will be on display for guests to enjoy through the remainder of the year.
In addition to the LEGO Star Wars™ X-wing Model Display, the LEGO Star Wars Miniland Model Display includes scenes from the six live-action Star Wars™ movies, as well as one from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ all made out of more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks and built in 1:20 scale. Guests can enjoy even more incredible LEGO models as they walk through the LEGO® Star Wars Gallery where they will encounter large-scale LEGO minifigures from each episode. Each LEGO model stands 3-feet-tall and is displayed on a podium for guests to get an up-close look. The 12 characters feature: Wicket, Princess Leia, R2-D2, Clone Captain Rex, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, Yoda and Darth Maul.

Sophie and the New Girl
Price: | $6.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
A new girl joins the film club, and she's witty, unique---and bizarre. So when the new girl is accused of theft, the Pops (and even some Flakes) are only too happy to turn against her. Sophie finally understands her, and changes here heart---but can she identify the real thief?
''Excellent for Homeschool Use'''
ePub, Reflowable$3.99
Sophie's back with more middle-school adventures! The just-formed film club has brought a new girl into the Flakes' orbit: Phoebe is witty, fun, and an awesome actress, but then the girls discover she harbors a prejudice against one of their own. When this same girl is accused of theft, the Pops---and even some of the Flakes---are only too happy to turn against her. And when Dr. Peter suggests that Sophie has a Christian responsibility to try to understand Phoebe, Sophie's ready to throw up her hands. But then the absolute truth dawns: God wants us to reach out to those who are lost---even if it makes us uncomfortable. Armed with insight, Sophie puts faith into action and gains a friend in the process.

Thread: Home page updates:IBF and BC
Home page updates:IBF and BC
Has anyone noticed how misleading the home page updates are of International Badminton and Badmintoncentral?
According to the active banner headlines of IBF, PG and XU are world No. 1s for MS and LS. Is this true? And PG is still gunning for the MO2006 title! How often are the latest info updated? As often as the creator's bias, it 's clear. Eg . the AJC champion was announced promptly ie South Korea, this was last week. but the IBF rankings were at least a month old.(Correct me if I'm wrong) There 's something very unprofessional about updates that reflect different time periods. It's misleading and insult the intelligence of the website visitors.
I have a lot of respect for BC except its IBF ranking details.What's the significance of May 2005 that it should be permanently displayed? If you don't have the resource to update MS and LS rankings regularly, eg weekly (like ATP) or monthly or after every major (4* or more) tourney, then have the courtesy to remove it instead of misleading members and undermining your credibility.
IMO, IBF MS and LS rankings should be updated after every major tournament or at least when there's a change in the World No. 1 in either the MS or LS.
Err.....the homepage of IBF (www.worldbadminton.net) is pretty updated...even with the latest draws. Similarly, rankings are updated every Friday.
I'm referring to the 'moving' banner headlines; the strip that suggests the latest news.
07-12-2006, 02:42 PM #4Originally Posted by pjswift
As for the official IBF website, yes, i agree that they should update their info *as soon as they can*, cos they are the "official" IBF website...
BTW, i think this post/thread should be posted in a different sub-forum...Last edited by ctjcad; 07-12-2006 at 02:47 PM.

Definately badmintoncentral has its limitations. One of them being resource limitations. Therefore, the webmaster has chosen to concentrate more time on badmintonforum.com. means he doesn't have so much time for the other parts of BC, inbetween his fulltime job, family, badminton and photography. Plus the fact that he is a badminton fanatic like most us means he's also working on his technique, meeting other badminton friends, watching badminton videos. He also has to sleep like the rest of us
Since BC/BF is a nonpaying website, that allows a lot of decision making to be kept within the webmaster's control. Thta's why he can juggle priorities as they come along. But the front page get less time than the other things, unfortunately.
Hope that explains a few things. And just to make clear, I am not the webmaster

The election is coming up if you hadn't noticed by all the additional flyers in your mailbox and political ads during commercial break. It's election season and people are starting to get very passionate about their views, even on my non-political Facebook page.
I've been trying to delete as many of the negative political comments as I can find on my Facebook page, because what I've come to learn is negative, mean-spirited remarks will not change anyone's mind, and it doesn't do anyone any good. Instead of stirring up angry debate, I have a better idea: let's pray for our country and for our leaders to make wise choices and that whoever wins will lead our country to peace and prosperity.
I certainly believe in standing up for what you believe in and healthy debate and exercising your right to vote. But I don't believe in getting angry and mean and insulting each other in the process. What's the point? What change will that bring about? What good will it do?
If you are tired of the heated debates and political ads, take a break and join me on the airwaves tonight. The only issues I'll be talking about are issues of the heart. You can find some respite from the stormy arguments and ads in the songs and stories on my show. I promise to soothe off the rough edges from your day and bring a note of peace to your night.

The distributive property
Distributive property example 1 ck12 Distributive Property example
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Let's do some problems with the distributive property.
- And the distributive property just essentially reminds us
- that if we have, let's say, a times b plus c, and then we
- need to multiply a times this, we have to multiply a times
- both of these numbers.
- So this is going to be equal to a times b plus a times c.
- It will not be just a times b then plus c.
- And that makes complete sense.
- Let me give you an example.
- If I had said 5 times 3 plus 7, now, if you were to work
- this out using order of operations, you'd say, this is
- 5 times 10.
- So you'd say, this is 5 times 10, which is equal to 50.
- And we know that that's the right answer.
- Now, use the distributive property, that tells us that
- this is going to be equal to 5 times 3, which is 15, plus 5
- times 7, which is 35.
- And 15 plus 35 is definitely 50.
- If you only multiplied the 5 times the 3, you'd have 15,
- and then plus the seven, you'd get the wrong answer.
- You're multiplying 5 times these things, you have to
- multiply 5 times both of these things.
- Because you're multiplying the sum of these guys.
- Anyway.
- Let's just apply that to a sampling of these problems.
- Let's do A.
- So we have 1/2 times x minus y minus 4.
- Well, we multiply 1/2 times both of these.
- So it's going to be 1/2 x minus 1/2 y minus
- 4, and we're done.
- Let's do C.
- We have 6 plus x minus 5 plus 7.
- Well, here there's actually no distributive
- property to even do.
- We can actually just remove the parentheses.
- 6 plus this thing, that's the same thing as 6 plus x plus
- negative 5 plus 7.
- Or you could view this as 6 plus-- So this
- right here is 2, right?
- Negative 5 plus 7 is 2, 2 plus 6 is 8, so it
- becomes 8 plus x.
- All right.
- Not too bad.
- That was C.
- Let's do E.
- We have 4 times m plus 7 minus 6 times 4 minus m.
- Let's do the distributive property.
- 4 times m is 4m plus 4 times 7 is 28.
- And then we could do it two ways.
- Let's do it this way first. So we could have minus
- 6 times 4 is 24.
- 6 times negative m is minus 6m.
- And notice, I could have just said, times negative 6, and
- have a plus here, but I'm doing it in two steps.
- I'm doing the 6 first, and then I'll do the negative 1.
- And so this is going to be 4m plus 28, and then you
- distribute the negative sign.
- You can view this as a negative 1 times all of this.
- So negative 1 times 24 is minus 24.
- Negative 1 times minus 6m is plus 6m.
- Now you add the m terms. 4m plus 6m is 10m.
- And then add the constant terms. 28 minus 24, that is
- equal to plus 4.
- Let's go down here.
- Use the distributive property to simplify
- the following fractions.
- So I'll do every other one again.
- So the first one is, a is 8x plus 12 over 4.
- So the reason why they're saying the distributive
- property, you're essentially saying, let's divide this
- whole thing by 4.
- And to divide the whole thing by 4, you have to divide each
- of the things by 4.
- You could even view this as, this is the same thing as
- multiplying 1/4 times 8x plus 12.
- These two things are equivalent.
- Here you're dividing each by 4, here you're
- multiplying each by 4.
- If you did it this way, this is the same thing as 8x over 4
- plus 12 over 4.
- You're kind of doing a adding fractions problem in reverse.
- And then this 8 divided by 4 is going to be,
- this'll be 2x plus 3.
- That's one way to do it.
- Or you could do it this way.
- 1/4 times 8x is 2x, plus 1/4 times 12 is 3.
- Either way, we got the same answer.
- We have 11x plus 12 over 2.
- Just like here.
- We could say, this is the same thing as 11-- We could write
- it as 11 over 2x, if we like.
- Or 11x over 2, either way.
- Plus 12 over 2 plus 6.
- And let's just do one more.
- This looks interesting.
- We have a negative out in front, and then we have a 6z
- minus 2 over 3.
- So one way we can view this, this is the same thing, this
- is equal to, negative 1/3 times 6z minus 2.
- These two things are equivalent.
- Right?
- This is a negative 1/3.
- You could imagine a 1 right out here.
- Right?
- Negative 1/3 times 6z minus 2.
- And then you just do the distributive property.
- Negative 1/3 times 6z is going to be minus 2z.
- And then negative 1/3 times negative 2, negatives cancel
- out, you get plus 2/3.
- And you are done.

This is kind of a twisted method so please forgive the lack of conciseness:
I have been using a VBA program in Excel in which one of the stages it captures a range of cells to the clipboard. The VBA program then launches AutoCAD and a LISP program pastes the data from the clipboard to an OLE object in the model space of the drawing. All of this happened on the same computer and it worked well and the resolution of the OLE object in AutoCAD is crisp and clear.
We have modified this process such that user starts Excel and the VBA code captures the range to a jpg file which is saved on the server. Another computer in the IT room launches AutoCAD and prepares the drawing and in then imports this jpg file. This too works well but the resolution of the graphic is degraded substantially.
Would there be a way to use VBA or VB.NET to somehow capture this clipboard data to a file and forgo the jpg file creation. We compared the two methods this morning and there is a severe drop-off in resolution which makes the image look not too professional.
If I had to I could save the Excel file temporarily on the server and then have a VB.NET program probe it to get the range into the clipboard on the IT room computer and repeat the paste process which results in true OLE object which comes into AutoCAD so much crisper and clearer.
