Sen. John Kerry, nominated as the next secretary of state, held a secret meeting with Cubas foreign minister in 2010 in a failed bid to win the release of jailed USAID subcontractor Alan Gross, according to a published report.
A senior state department official also met in secret with Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez to discuss the Gross case, but the foreign minister lectured the U.S. official for an hour, added the report in the respected magazine Foreign Affairs.
José Cardenas, a former top official at the U.S. Agency for International Development, wrote that the article amounted to a lesson on the folly of attempting to appease dictators.
A knowledgeable Senate aide also challenged the articles description of the role that Fulton Armstrong, a senior staffer in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and former CIA analyst, played in the campaign to free Gross.
Gross was arrested in Havana in late 2009 and sentenced to 15 years for giving Cuban Jews sophisticated communications equipment paid for by USAIDs pro-democracy programs, outlawed by Cuba as designed to bring about regime change. His continued detention has been a key block in efforts to improve U.S.-Cuba relations.
The report authored by R.M Schneiderman, an editor at Newsweek, includes previously unknown details of a U.S. effort to win Gross freedom by cutting back funding for the pro-democracy programs and making them less provocative to Cuba.
In September of 2010, Spanish government officials helped arrange a secret meeting between then-Assistant Secretary of State Arturo Valenzuela and Rodríguez to discuss a possible release of Gross, according to Schneiderman.
The Cubans were far less flexible than the Americans expected. The U.S. wanted Cuba to release Gross, and only then would it press ahead on any other policy changes, he wrote. Rodríguez allegedly lectured Valenzuela for roughly an hour on Cubas history of grievances.
A month later, at the request of Cuban diplomats in Washington and with State Department approval, Kerry met with Rodríguez at the home of Cubas ambassador to the United Nations in New York, according to the report.
There was no quid pro quo, but the meeting seemed to reassure the Cubans that the democracy programs would change, and the Cubans expressed confidence that Gross would be freed after his trial, which was held in March of 2011, the report noted.
President Barack Obama has nominated Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and backer of improving relations with Cuba, to succeed Hillary Clinton. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which Kerry chairs, is expected to easily approve the nomination.
Schneiderman wrote that in early 2010, the State Department and USAID asked Armstrong, who had long criticized the programs as inefficient and wasteful, to help them make the programs less offensive to Havana hoping Cuba might then free Gross.
And that summer, at States behest, Armstrong began meeting with officials at the Cuban diplomatic mission in Washington to tell them about the changes that were being made to the programs, Schneiderman wrote.
We said, Look, message received, he quoted Armstrong as saying. These [programs] are stupid. Were cleaning them up. Just give us time, because politically we cant kill them. The Cubans seemed appreciative. We asked them, Will this help you release Alan Gross? Armstrong went on. And the answer was yes.

Most of us sign up for E-ZPass for two reasons: the lines are a lot shorter and you get a discount on the tolls.
Or do you? It depends on where your E-ZPass is from.
Thanks to an email from a fox 5 viewer, we've learned that although all E-ZPass tags look alike, they don't all offer the same benefits.
"I was being charged $8 a day instead of $4.40 a day. So even though it doesn't sound like a lot on a daily basis it really adds up," the email said. "So I called E-ZPass and I wanted to know why I wasn't receiving a discount and I thought it was a simple mistake. They told me 'oh, you have a New Jersey E-ZPass, and you live in New York, so you don't receive any discount."
Even though Christine lives in New York, she was somehow signed up for a New Jersey E-ZPass. She didn't think it mattered because she travels back and forth between both states.
It turns out an E-ZPass from New Jersey does not entitle you to discounts on New York roads and bridges, and vice versa. Although an E-ZPass from any state gets a discount on all Port Authority crossings, including the Holland and Lincoln tunnels and the George Washington Bridge.
Connecticut does not have its own E-ZPass system.
Christine has now canceled her New Jersey tag and has gotten one from New York so she can get the discounted rates.
Anyone can apply for an E-ZPass tag from any state or from multiple states, depending on your driving habits.

Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of March 21, 2011
Rafe flipped out after Sami revealed that she invited Dario to move in with them and threw his coffee cup against the wall. "What the hell's wrong with you?" he asked. Sami explained she thought it would help Dario and Rafe mend fences. Rafe snapped at her that it just put pressure on him. He threatened that things wouldn't work out between them if she kept pushing. She angrily told him she felt the same way. He got nervous that she was so mad and apologized for freaking out. He claimed to have a headache. She was only slightly mollified, then he pretended to pass out. She yelled for someone to call 911. At the hospital, Carly checked him out. He "came to" and called for Sami. He didn't recognize Carly, which alarmed them. Rafe also claimed not to remember how he wound up in the hospital. When Sami told him about the fight about Dario, he suddenly clutched his head. Sami called for the nurse. Maxine said his blood pressure was high, but he appeared stable otherwise. Sami left with Maxine to fill out paperwork. Carly found Sami and revealed that Rafe's tests were not adding up because his MRI was normal.
Melanie arrived at the loft to talk to Rafe, but found a shirtless Dario, who had been working out. They bickered. He poured water over her head, then went into the shower. When he came out, he was annoyed she was still there. She asked why he needed money so badly. He said it was for Arianna and that he needed to pay a private eye who was looking into her hit-and-run.
Carly entered the Java Caf and spied Vivian. Carly had a flashback to when Vivian buried her alive years ago. Vivian thought about being held in the crypt last year. She told Carly about it, then needled Carly about her breakup with Bo. Carly insisted Bo loved her and went to great lengths to protect her from Vivian. Carly left in a huff as Maggie entered. Viv congratulated Maggie for winning Victor.
At the hospital, Nathan spoke to a doctor at Johns Hopkins and asked if the job opportunity there was still available. Stephanie overheard him on the phone. He told her he was leaving Salem, but that it had nothing to do with her. What about Melanie, she asked. He said Mel didn't know about it, adding that Melanie thought it was too late for them. "Then it is my fault," Stephanie pointed out. Nathan said it was his fault for not fighting harder for Melanie. He told Steph she was great and he wished the best for her. "You deserve somebody who loves you," he said. They hugged. He headed to the Horton house, where he ran into Maggie, who was leaving a note for Jennifer. She could tell he had something on his mind. He told her about calling Johns Hopkins. "A big change sounds so good right now," he confessed. She asked if it had to do with Melanie. He admitted that Mel didn't want him in her life. Maggie said he was a catch and deserved someone who loved him. They had a good talk.
Stefano had Rafe moved out of the mansion. He warned Marco not to underestimate Hernandez. Kate came in after and could tell he was bothered by something. He didn't want to elaborate, but feared he had not made the right move with something. The conversation turned to Chad. He admitted he wanted to have a good relationship with his son. They both said how happy they were to be reunited and kissed.... Kate encountered Vivian on the pier. Vivian snooped around about all things DiMera.... "Rafe" called Stefano and summoned him to the hospital. Stefano entered just as Sami was complaining to Carly that the man in the room was not Rafe.
Stefano arrived at the hospital and overheard Sami saying that Rafe isn't the same as he was before the accident. "He's a stranger," she sighed. "One I don't like very much." Sami vowed she wouldn't give up and would get the old Rafe back. The women walked off. Stefano entered "Rafe's" room and demanded to know what the imposter had done now. "Rafe" explained what happened; Stefano told him that he had screwed up big time and implored the double to just follow his orders. The Phoenix slipped out.
Maggie called Victor but got nervous and hung up on him after saying hello. "That went well," they both noted. Victor called her back and said he thought they got cut off. She admitted she hung up on him. "I think you're conflicted," he observed. She warned him not to be a smart aleck, then spied a photo of her and Mickey on the table. She invited Victor to lunch at Chez Rouge. He met her in the private dining room, where she poured champagne for them. She told him that she feels alive around him and it's hard to fend him off. "I've tried," she said. "I think this lunch was my way of saying that I'm giving up trying." He was speechless at first. She was enthusiastic about what was to come; he promised they'd have fun. He toasted to the woman of his dreams. "To us and the future," she added.
Philip entered the Brady Pub to find Chloe on the phone. She revealed she got an offer from the Seattle Opera Company but that she had to turn it down because of Parker. She was determined to pull herself together, get a job and stay in Salem. She reported that she put a flyer up at Salem U to teach voice lessons.... Justin met her after to discuss her divorce from Daniel. She said she didn't want any money from him, since she had ruined his life. Justin remarked that she seemed to be in good shape. She praised Philip for helping her.
At Java Caf, Abigail and Gabi ran into Chad. He quickly excused himself to get air. They were both confused. He returned and apologized for being weird. He explained that he was behind on his tuition and was checking the balance online, only to discover it had been paid. He suspected it was DA Woods, but when he checked, he found out it wasn't. He called the bursar's office and discovered he was awarded a scholarship because he's Stefano's son. He headed to the DiMera manse to talk to his dad about it. He and Stefano played chess; Stefano asked him about moving in. Chad won, though he suspected Stefano let him.
Dario and Melanie continued bickering at the loft. He chided her for not doing anything to find Arianna's killer. More arguing ensued.... Sami called Gabi and reported that "Rafe" had a seizure. Gabi called Dario and filled him in.... A "vulnerable" Rafe II apologized to Sami for freaking out on her about Dario moving in. She was moved by his words and said they would figure out what was wrong with him and fix it. The Hernandez sibs arrived at the hospital and visited with "Rafe". He apologized for being a jerk and insisted to Dario that he wanted him to move in. Sami knew that things weren't totally right. Carly got "Rafe's" test results back and was confused.
Melanie met with Philip to discuss moving ahead with their divorce. He wished her the best; she did the same for him.
EJ, Sydney, Johnny and Nicole had a family outing to the Java Café. EJ was texting a message to Allie from Johnny, updating her about what was going on in Salem. Johnny asked his dad to mention how pretty Aunt Taylor is. EJ flashed back to kissing her, then changed the subject. Nicole asked why her hubby still didn't like her sis. He countered that Taylor didn't like him. When Nicole left with Sydney, Johnny remembered that he wanted to tell Allie that "Rafe" taught him to fight. EJ was not pleased when Johnny remarked that "Rafe" was cooler than he used to be.
Stefano got an update about amnesiac Rafe, who was placed in a mental ward. Rafe got to know his caretaker, Al, who warned him not to ask any questions. When Al left, Rafe was able to get himself out of his handcuffs and figured it was a clue to his old life.
At the hospital, Sami told "Rafe" she was happy he had smoothed things over with this siblings. Carly entered with his test results and reported he was hypoglycemic and had some anxiety and she could give him pills. He said he wasn't into taking pills. Sami followed Carly out and asked her about the meds she wanted to prescribe. Sami asked Dr. M to give them to her with the hope that she could get "Rafe" to take them.... EJ returned home, agitated that Johnny now was enamored with Rafe II. Stefano told him about the problems between Sami and "Rafe" and his faux seizure.
Daniel ran into Jennifer, who was volunteering at the hospital. He told her a job had opened up in the PR department at the hospital and Jen was a perfect candidate for it. She wasn't so sure. He urged her to consider it. Carly came upon them and also implored her to join the staff. Carly headed off duty. So did Daniel. Jennifer asked him to come by the house and drop off some more information about the job, but she was really matchmaking for him and Carly. When Daniel and Carly arrived at the Horton house and Jen wasn't home, they realized what she was up to. Jen hurried in and told them she was making them lunch. Carly asked to speak to Jen alone. Daniel went to the kitchen. Carly pointed out to her pal that neither she nor Daniel was ready to move on into another relationship and asked Jen to stop trying to set them up. Jen promised she would, then told Daniel she was going to take the job.
Nicole and Chloe met up at the Brady Pub. Nic spied Brady and Taylor at a table. Brady gave Mrs. DiMera a less-than-warm welcome and told his exes that he was busy. The ladies headed to Java instead. Taylor observed that Brady still loved Nicole. He got defensive.... At Java, Nicole told Chloe how good her marriage was and how she and EJ were falling in love again.
Sami took "Rafe" home, then headed to the store to buy food to make him lunch. After she left, EJ and Stefano called the imposter. EJ was angry that the double had screwed up. He gave him two weeks to figure things out, then reminded him what happened to the other Rafe. Sami returned after borrowing eggs from Gladys the neighbor and found her agitated "hubby". He said he was trying to call Dario, but kept getting his brother's voicemail. Sami didn't buy that was what frustrated him. He admitted to being edgy in general. Sami slipped a pill into his coffee. When her back was turned, he sneaked some alcohol into it. She prepared his scrambled eggs and served him. He got frisky with her, then a little loopy and revealed he had a secret.
Back at the mansion, Stefano told EJ about Chad's visit and how he thought his son may move in. He urged EJ to get Nicole's extended family out of the house.... EJ headed to the Pub and spied Taylor with Brady.
Dario went to the hospital to see Rafe, but he was already discharged. Dario wasn't thrilled to run into Melanie. They began talking about Arianna; Stephanie approached them. Melanie took off. Stephanie told Dario about Melanie's shady past and warned him that Mel was trouble. He assured her he could handle himself — and Melanie.
Bo and Hope brought Theo and Ciara to Alice's house. While the kids were eating cookies in the kitchen, Bo and Hope looked through old boxes. They found a scrapbook of photos, including their 1985 wedding in England and other memorable moments. She told him that she appreciated him and wanted to recapture the feelings they used to have for each other. They talked about how strong their bond was when they first fell in love. They kissed; Ciara came in and smiled when she saw them. Hope told Bo that she felt their marriage completely imploded when Ciara was kidnapped. Feeling she was to blame, a dejected Ciara backed out without them seeing her. Bo told Hope they could get through their problems. Ciara told Theo that her parents split up because of her and she had to run away so it wouldn't happen again. Theo said he would go with her and they made a pinkie promise.
EJ approached Taylor and Brady's table at the Pub and he and Brady faced off. Taylor told them to knock it off. EJ's cell phone rang so he excused himself. Brady observed that EJ was very protective of Taylor. Taylor played it off. Outside, EJ called Fay to see how she was faring in the guest house. She said she was okay. He "worried" that she was alone and asked if she would feel better if one of her daughters was around. EJ went back into the Pub and told Taylor that Fay needed her. A concerned Taylor headed back to the mansion. Fay explained that EJ called her. Taylor quickly realized what went down. She stormed into the main house and confronted her brother-in-law.
Rafe II, loopy on anti-anxiety meds and alcohol, told Sami he had a secret to tell her. He built up the reveal, then got very frisky and asked if she was into him. She was confused and assured him she was, though she was worried that he was having a strange reaction to the pills she slipped him. She urged him to lie down, then called Carly in a panic. She spied the flask and realized "Rafe" had spiked his drink. "Rafe" came out and told her to forget about her loser ex and began kissing her. She showed him the flask and asked if that was his secret. He said no, it was much more mind-boggling. He told her he wasn't his old self. "I'm me!" he exclaimed.
Kate entered the Brady Pub and spied Vivian sitting with Gus. Viv told Gus to get her a copy of all of Stefano's past crimes and misdemeanors, determined to find a pattern in his nefarious doings. After Gus left, Vivian chatted up Kate and poked around about Stefano's latest plot. Vivian intimated it had to do with Allie, which got Kate's attention. Kate realized she was bluffing. A shoving match ensued and they fell into a cake. After it was broken up, Kate issued a warning to Vivian, then stormed out.
Melanie ran into Brady and told him how Dario hired a private eye to find Arianna's killer. Melanie was smarting from Dario not thinking they cared about Ari. Melanie lamented that Ari was her best friend. Brady said he was Mel's BF, too.
Chad stopped by the Horton House, where Jennifer was packing boxes. He introduced himself to her and explained he was dropping off notes for Abigail from Spanish class. Abigail came down and thanked him. After Chad left the room, Jen questioned her about her friendship with the DiMera offspring. Abby could tell her mother was bothered and assumed it was about Jack, but Jen explained that it was about Chad. Abby defended her new pal. When Chad returned, Jen quickly hurried out. Abby and Chad talked; he revealed he was moving into the DiMera mansion. She didn't think it was a good idea at all and wasn't sure they could continue being friends.
At the hospital, Dario flashed back to Stephanie's words of warning about Melanie. He then spied her laughing and joking with Daniel and assumed Melanie was scamming the doc. When Melanie took off, Dario approached Dan and told him the 411 on the "naughty" nurse. Daniel got so angry that he punched Dario and revealed Melanie was his daughter. Security arrived to pull the men apart. Dario headed to Java Caf and ran into Stephanie. He told her what happened with Daniel. Melanie entered; Steph beat a hasty exit. Melanie and Dario exchanged harsh words. Again.
Jen arrived at the hospital and saw Daniel's bandaged hand. He told her how he punched a punk who insulted his daughter. She lit into him for damaging his surgery hands. They noticed that they had both removed their wedding rings. Melanie came in with coffee and learned about Jen's new job at the hospital.... Dario applied for a job as a dock worker.
A loopy, drugged Rafe tried to explain what he meant when he told Sami, "I'm me!" Sami was thoroughly confused when he insisted she call him "Baby" and not "Rafe". They eventually started arguing and both confessed that they were unhappy. Sami then admitted she slipped Rafe the anti-anxiety meds. He flipped out then fell asleep on the couch. She wondered what would happen to them.
EJ and Taylor argued in the foyer of the mansion. He pulled her into his arms, pointing out that she couldn't control how she felt. She yelled that he was married to her sister and what was she to do. In a fit of pique, he threw a vase of flowers off of the table and stormed out. Stefano found him on the pier and asked what was wrong. EJ confessed he was in love with Taylor and recounted the story of their meeting. Stefano advised him that if he had an itch, he should scratch it.... Back at the manse, Taylor had a fantasy of kissing EJ. After, she wrote a note to Fay and Taylor, saying she was staying at a hotel for the night. When she opened the door to go, EJ was there. She told him she was leaving; he asked her to stay and they kissed.

Hi there! I just ordered my first kit (the amp6) to put in something along the lines of a boombox. I want the build to be really small though, and I'm facing some challenges as I'm not that cunning in loudspeaker acoustics (but eager to learn).
The build I'm attempting will be something along the lines of 500x140x160mm (around 11 liters, including room for the amp and SLA battery). Now, I've read up as much as I can on this subject, and the common opinion seems to be that a couple of Monacor SP-60/4s and DT99s would work well in a non-vented box of about 8 liters. I was thinking, however, of adding another couple of SP-60s, either down-firing or in a bipolar setup. Mainly in order to increase bass. This is where my uncertainty begins.
Is there at all any point in adding these speakers to my design without doubling up the enclosure size (which I won't). Is there even a marginal difference in bass reproduction or will I just mess up the acoustics of the box? I tried calculating using Saturnus' boominator idea (venting, heightening the Fres and decreasing the enclosure size), but to be honest, I really can't make any sense of it in this application. I'm not that picky with super linear response and so on, I just want something that sounds relatively good and "impressive for its size".
Thank you all!

Autopsy on body found in Salt Creek inconclusive
OAK BROOK — An autopsy was performed last week on a body found floating in the Salt Creek at Graue Mill, but the decomposition was so bad the man could not immediately be identified.
"It was in bad shape due to advanced decomposition," said Lt. Howard Oller of the DuPage County Forest Preserve District Police Department, who was present for the autopsy. "The decomposition was so advanced they couldn't even get fingerprints."
Oller said there was a wallet present with the body, but it did not help identify the individual.

MAGNOLIA, Ark. (AP) — A judge has scheduled a March trial for a man accused of capital murder in the death of a 74-year-old Magnolia woman.
Robert Harrison is charged in the May 27 death of Glenda Stroman. Court records say Stroman's throat was cut during an apparent burglary of her home.
Prosecutors say DNA found underneath Stroman's fingernails linked Harrison to the crime. He has pleaded not guilty. The Banner-News reports that Harrison rejected an offer last week in which prosecutors would waive the death penalty in exchange for a guilty plea to first-degree murder.
Harrison's attorney, Robert Jeffrey, says he met with Harrison and his client said he did not want to accept the plea deal.
Harrison is scheduled to go to trial March 25.

Why this time is different
The Eeyores of the conservative movement are all over this Obamacare vote, declaring that we're doomed to perpetual socialism because Republicans never repeal anything. To them I say: bah. We've never been in this situation before, where we'll actually win an election on the heels of passage. Social Security: Passed in 1935. Republicans take House and Senate in 1947, 12 years later.

I had a great time meeting this brother and sister in Oak Brook. The family loves photography and has pictures of the children and parents all over the house. I love it when clients love photography! They wanted natural pictures of their children being themselves, as opposed to a more formal studio appearance.
Adam was hilarious and had his stuffed kittens in on the shoot – they were both in front and behind the camera as my helpers. His older sister, Sophia, entertained me with her hip hop dance routine. Have I mentioned how fun my job is lately?
They were your typical siblings – younger brother annoying his older sister who in turn annoys the younger brother. The below picture cracks me up because it is not posed and says so much.
So to work it all out we did what always works – PILLOW FIGHT!

I first found Landores late last year when they posted a sound clip of some weird noise. It wasn't a song but I was intriuged enough to 'like' them on facebook, and thank sweet baby jesus I did, because they've now got some beautiful songs which are really very nice.
Formed in 2011, Landores was created by Joe Zoutewelle, Ryan Gorringe, Jay Gibby and Jon Glenister. I'm not 100% but I think that at least one of the members was in band called Escape To Sea, a great band from Brighton that have now sadly stopped making music.
It's like folk (but not shit-folk) mixed with a poppier/indier side to it that takes it forward and makes in interesting enough to make me listen to their songs on repeat. Here's their beautiful song Foreign Grounds:
And here's Bows:
They'll hopefully be playing live in June but no dates confirmed yet – stay tuned for more info, and hopefully more tunes from these guys!

Report: Army to sink $50 million into combat training games
The Army is investing $50 million into video combat training games and gaming systems over the next five years, in a move to prepare soldiers for battle.
Soldiers, via the video games, will face ambushes and roadside bomb attacks while traveling in convoys, along with a host of other situations that mimic battle under a number of conditions and terrain, according to a report in Stars and Stripes.
The Army's Peo-Stri and gaming unit will monitor the industry, seeking out commercial games and systems it can use for low-cost training, the report noted.

Serve your family a delicious holiday meal New Orleans style. With the perfect blend of flavors and spices, this menu will make your holiday dinner one to remember.
Use a fresh or frozen Shady Brook Farms® turkey. Add Cajun flair with this rub recipe or add your favorite blackening or Cajun seasoning to the butter or oil that is used to brush the turkey before going into the oven. Prepare the turkey according to package instructions.
*For a bone-in turkey breast, divide recipe in half.
**Do not touch eyes or face when preparing or applying rub as cayenne pepper may burn!
Instructions To make Cajun Rub, mix together paprika, salt, garlic powder, oregano, thyme and cayenne pepper, breaking up any lumps. (Yield: about 1/2 cup)
Brush turkey with oil; rub Cajun Rub over turkey as evenly as possible, working it under the skin when possible. (Turkey may be coated with Cajun rub and refrigerated for up to 2 hours.)
Servings: 4-6
InstructionsHeat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the peppers and onions to the pan and cook until tender (do not brown). While the peppers and onions are cooking, using a knife, cut the corn kernels from the cob. Add the kernels to the pan. Then using the back of the knife, scrape any remaining parts of the kernel and the liquid (milk) from the cob and add to the pan. Add the shrimp to the pan. Let the corn and shrimp cook for a few minutes then add the cream and cook until the cream thickens slightly. Add the tomatoes and season to taste with the salt and pepper.
InstructionsMix all of the spices together to make the spice mix. Bring one gallon of water to a boil and add salt. Over medium heat cook the diced bacon until it is almost to the crunchy stage. Add the green beans to the pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 5 minutes. You want the green beans to be just undercooked. Remove the beans from the water and add them to the bacon and sauté for one minute. Season to taste using the spice mix and serve. (If you don't use all of the spice mix, you can seal it in an airtight container and store for a few months.)
InstructionsIn a pot, cook the onions in the oil over medium heat until translucent. Then add the rest of the ingredients into the pot and simmer until it has thickened. Serve warm or at room temperature.
InstructionsPreheat oven to 350°. Cut the white bread (crust on) and let it sit out and dry overnight. Peel and cut sweet potatoes and place in pot and cover with water. Simmer the sweet potatoes on the stove until they are tender, then drain and lay them out in a pan and put them in the refrigerator to cool. Once the potatoes are cool, put them in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. You may need to add some water to help puree. Mix together the cream, milk, eggs, both sugars (except for 2 tablespoons of brown sugar), salt, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk together until the sugars dissolve. Add the sweet potato puree to the cream mixture. Lightly grease a 10-cup ovenproof casserole dish. Fold the bread and the pecans into the cream mixture. Then pour everything into the casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar on the top and bake in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve with the mint sauce.
InstructionsCombine egg yolks and sugar; whip until light and fluffy. In a saucepan, bring the half and half to the scalding point with the vanilla, crème de menthe and bourbon. Once the half and half is hot, add some of it to the whipped yolk and sugar mixture, making sure that you stir constantly. Then add that mixture to the rest of the half and half and cook (stirring constantly) until it coats the back of a spoon. Do not cook hotter than 190 degrees, or it will curdle. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl then place the bowl into an ice bath immediately to cool down. Serve with the bread pudding.

Question: "How do you feel about cell phone towers going up on Longboat Key?"
Sandi Wagner
"We need them, but it's also good not to have them here. Here, people can relax, and it keeps the Key the way it should feel without them. It probably won't happen because of the way they look."
Trish Gough
"I don't think that would go down here on the Key."
Keith Bickel
"I think it's an important public service. For instance, if there's an emergency somewhere people need to be able to get through to each other. People need an emergency service — especially on the beach with the problem of the riptides. So many more people are using different ways of communicating that all depend on reliable service — iPhones, new tablets. My wife and I each have different cell-phone services because neither really works here. It's a public need to have the towers."
Stephen Sunderland
"I have no cell-phone service right now, what an irony. It's a public necessity. If you want electricity, the city provides electricity — it's the same idea. Also, elder populations often have medical issues and they need to be able to call for help. It should be a requirement to have the towers."
Shirley Green
"I'm not thrilled about it. I don't like the idea. Where are all they going? I've seen what they look like. They're going to obstruct."
Fred Green
"They're unsightly. They may be interfering with other things also, like our AM radio."

Wayne County teen laid to rest
Posted at: 02/18/2013 6:55 AM
On Monday, family and friends will come together to remember a Wayne County teen who died from complications of the flu virus.
News10BC is told Tyler Finn came down with flu-like symptoms back in January. That illness then resulted in pneumonia, and then a viral infection. He died last Wednesday.
The 14 year old was an eighth grader at Newark Middle School and family members say he was a talented musician.
The funeral service is today at Woodlane Community Church in Newark.
Health officials say Tyler's death is a sad reminder of just how dangerous the flu can be.

veloman wrote:I just bought mlsolar's 40 cell kit including wire, flux and diode on ebay for $54 shipped. Should be a good way to get started with playing with solar. 40 cells would give about 70watts max, and 20 volts, so I may buy more cells to get to 40 volts for charging, or I'll need some sort of inverter??
veloman wrote:I use to work in a warehouse with forklifts and pallet jacks. Those batteries were massive! I think the smaller pallet jack ones were 700lbs. Often times we had to try kicking them when swapping in new bats on the jack, because the lift wouldn't slide it in straight. It was interesting how much faster they got drained when I was moving heavy pallets. It was cool to see battery power used to power the hydrualics that lifted the forklifts, often times carrying a 4000lb pallet 30 feet up. I think working there is what got me interested in ebikes. I just loved twisting the throttle and moving with no engine noise, even though they topped at about 12mph.
The sad part is that they never kept the low batteries topped off. They would just sit in the jack until someone needed that jack, then put in a new battery and charge the old one. I wonder how much life they lost on those batteries by keeping them dead like that.
I think I rather stick to SLA that I can move with my hands, maybe some 35ah ones.

Is there a way I can directly wire up a small space heater to a homemade wind turbine that uses a 24/36v scooter motor?
I was checking out our oil run hot water heater. There is a lot of heat pouring off the top of it where the pipes are.... I could practically just channel an air duck from there into my room with a small fan.
Is there any significant reason why you don't want your dryer to exhaust into the house? Is it because of the humid air? Now, I don't use the dryer, but my mom and brother do. I'd love to capture all that heat and send it in my room in the winter!

Lot's of great DIY projects there. I just glanced through a few of the DIY PV panel projects, and I would say don't follow them. Plywood isn't really a good material for panels because moisture can get in. Approach it in a way to reasonably expect a 20yr+ service life, for which plywood isn't acceptable outdoors. I'll share what Harold and I think are the best links once we finalize our approaches.

Rights and Responsibilities - Faculty
Proper functioning of the academic program involves many details. Systematic compliance with the regulations governing the various aspects of the entire process lends itself to a smoothly operating and efficient academic program. A faculty member should be familiar with the University catalogs and become familiar with all regulations concerning the academic program.
PROCEDURES and RESPONSIBILITIES
Expectations of Faculty
Organizing and conducting courses appropriate to the level of instruction and the nature of the subject matter.
Stimulating intellectual inquiry so that students develop the skills to examine and evaluate ideas and arguments.
Encouraging discussion and debate within the course to enable students to articulate the ideas they are exploring.
Bringing to the classroom the latest research findings and professional debates within the discipline.
Being available to students beyond the classroom environment.
Advising and counseling students concerning their progress in their academic programs.
Facilitating student use of appropriate service units on the campus for orientation, personal and career counseling, tutoring, health care, financial assistance, and job placement.
Encouraging students to engage in independent study, advanced studies, and service activities as appropriate, and to participate in student professional organizations, cultural activities, and other extracurricular activities that increase student involvement in learning and personal development.
Engaging in advanced studies, research, scholarly activities, or other forms of professional development that enrich their capacities to enhance student learning.
Participating in the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs and instruction.
Maintaining a collegial context in which collaboration on scholarly, instructional, and University issues is respectful, critical, and supportive.
Fulfilling administrative requirements: making book orders, turning in grades, assisting with registration, etc.
Contributing in other ways to the general welfare of the University.
Faculty Load
Faculty are salaried employees and as such are expected to fulfill a full-time faculty workload. All faculty responsibilities--including teaching loads, University Committee assignments, advisement, release time for service and/or research, and other professional duties-- are expected to be completed in a timely manner. Adherence to this policy is the responsibility of the department chairs in consultation with the school deans.
The teaching load for faculty members will comply with national accrediting standards for individual programs. In the absence of such standards, the normal teaching load for undergraduate faculty is twelve semester hours each semester of the regular school year. For faculty teaching only graduate courses, a full-time teaching load is nine semester hours. For those faculty teaching a combination of undergraduate and graduate classes, a full- time teaching load will be composed of a nine hour semester and a twelve hour semester during one academic year.
It is the desire of the University to employ as many as possible of its faculty during the summer session. Employment is determined by the demand for classes in a particular subject area. The determination of a faculty member's summer employment is decided by the division/department chair, the dean of the college or school, and the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs in accordance with the estimated income for the summer. Classes with insufficient enrollment may be canceled.
Non-Faculty Load
University employees serving in staff positions are sometimes asked to serve as adjunct faculty. Staff are limited to teaching no more than one course. Any exception must be approved in writing by the respective dean of the college or school in which the staff member will teach.
Faculty Participation
General faculty meetings are held as needed for the purpose of contributing to professional development, to permit faculty participation in the formulation of University policies to hear reports and recommendations, and to conduct University business.
When a faculty meeting is called, all members of the faculty are expected to attend unless specifically excused by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. Nonacademic staff members are not expected to attend faculty meetings unless specifically notified.
A series of faculty orientation meetings is held prior to the beginning of the fall semester. All members of the faculty are expected to attend unless specifically excused by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. Attention is called to the fact that faculty contracts and salaries are for the academic year and duties may be assigned at any time during this period.
Regular registration is held at the beginning of each semester and of each summer term. Early registration, at an announced date, is available prior to the fall and spring semesters.
Registration procedures are issued for each registration period and are furnished to faculty members by the Office of the Registrar. All faculty members are to be available for assistance during the entire period of registration, serving as advisers, or in other capacities when needed by division/department chair or deans. Faculty members are expected to be present at all times during registration unless relieved of duties by their respective division/department chair.
Student Advisement
The advisement program is administered by the deans of the schools and/or department chairs who assign students to specially selected faculty advisers in the department of the student's interest. Unless students change their major, they may retain their same adviser throughout their university career.
Although students have the responsibility of enrolling in classes required for their degrees, the academic advisers have an obligation to see that each of their advisees is enrolled properly in classes necessary for their degree programs. The adviser will be called upon to share with the division/department chair and the school dean in certifying that a student has completed requirements for a specific degree. Additionally, students may need intermittent counseling or advice regarding various aspects of their careers at Delta State University. All faculty members, but especially those serving as advisers, will find occasions to engage in personal counseling. Quite often these conferences provide excellent opportunities for instructors to render real service to their students. It is hoped that concern of the University for each of its students will be reflected by an attitude of personal consideration on the part of each faculty member. For more assistance the faculty member feels unable to provide, students may be referred to the Office of Counseling and Developmental Studies; such referrals should be encouraged for students in academic difficulty and students of unusual ability.
Most student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, honorary societies, academic clubs, and service groups, are dependent upon faculty and staff sponsor-advisers. Some organizations direct requests for service to faculty and staff members individually. In other cases, advisers are administratively appointed. Since these organizations contribute substantially to the purposes of the University, faculty members are encouraged to accept such service when requested, provided the service does not interfere with regular assignments.
All faculty members and administrative officers are expected to participate in at least one academic procession at commencement each year and to furnish their own regalia, which may be rented through the Registrar's Office. Absence from this duty must be specifically authorized by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs.
While the primary mission of Delta State University is teaching, the faculty is also expected to participate in research and other forms of scholarship, particularly those which support improvement of instruction. A limited amount of funds is available through the Research Committee to support these efforts.
All research conducted at Delta State University must be in compliance with federal mandates (45 CFR 46) pertaining to the protection of human subjects. See the Human Subjects section of the Grants and Contracts Policy for details.
Professional Growth
Individual faculty members are to take the initiative in promoting their own growth as teachers, scholars and, especially in professional and occupational fields, practitioners. A limited amount of funds is available to support these efforts.
Grants and Contracts
External support to the University may be described as sponsored programs or projects awarded as a result of an application submitted to a funding agency by the University on behalf of a full-time faculty or staff member. These programs/projects usually involve research, instruction, or other sponsored activities and are usually submitted based on defined guidelines established by the funding agency. The following categories are excluded from this definition: direct payments to individuals, such as fellowships, unless the funding agency requires the University to administer the funds, gifts and bequests to the University, and student financial aid.
The faculty is expected to participate in service to their profession and to the university. Faculty are encouraged to be active in service to their community.
Faculty Absence
In the event of illness or other emergency circumstance requiring absence from duty, the division/department chair should be notified as soon as possible so that classes can be covered.
If an instructor must miss class or other assigned duties, the Teacher Absence form submitted to the division/department chair should include the details and the arrangements for classes missed.
Faculty Office Hours
Each full-time faculty member is expected to be available during the normal work week of the regular session. Otherwise, hardships may be imposed upon students, fellow teachers, division/department chair, administrative officers, and others who may need to contact the teacher.
Each faculty member shall establish a sufficient number of student-contact or office hours as determined by agreement between faculty and chairs and should be available by appointment at other times during the regular work week. These hours should appear on the teacher's schedule on file with the deans and with the division/department chair and they should be announced to the students and posted conspicuously. The minimum number of office hours per week is ten for full-time faculty.
In order to insure that students have access to part-time faculty for the purpose of academic assistance, those who teach day classes should be available to students at some time during the day, and those who teach night classes should be available to students for a reasonable time both before and after the scheduled class time. Other arrangements may be made by appointment. Students should be made aware of times at which they have access to part-time faculty.
Academic freedom - All members of the faculty, whether tenured or not, are entitled to academic freedom as set forth in the
1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure,
formulated by the Association of American Colleges and the American Association of University Professors.

NBC News President: Candidates 'lazy'
NBC News President Steve Capus called both presidential candidates "lazy" for relying on the network's journalists to tell their stories in campaign ads.
"While we're hard at work telling the story of the election, I'd like to take a minute — and I think you'll enjoy this part — to urge the candidates and campaigns to do a better job of telling their own story," Capus said at Monday night's Edward R. Murrow Awards ceremony. "In this election cycle, we have seen the campaigns take advantage of and misrepresent journalists in their advertisements, pulling short soundbites and in some cases, taking that reporting out of context for the sake of driving a different message. NBC News has dealt with this issue with both candidates, and this has to stop."
Last weekend, NBC News called on the Obama campaign to stop using its footage in campaign ads, including a recent ad in which Andrea Mitchell is shown on air citing an independent analysis that critiques Mitt Romney's tax plan. On Monday, Mitchell used her MSNBC program to shame the Obama campaign using the clip to call attention to Romney's misstatements during last week's presidential debate, while ignoring the parts that called attention to Obama's.
Despite NBC's complaints, the campaigns likely have the right to use the footage, under the "fair use" provision of copyright law — though that's open to debate. Nevertheless, Capus said that such use was unfair.
"It's not fair for our journalists and producers and it's not fair to our citizens and it's just lazy," Capus said Monday. "I know that campaigns want to be associated with Tom Brokaw and Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams in their commercials. But let's be honest. That's good company, but those folks are journalists and they do not endorse this message. Tonight, while I'm among all of my colleagues and acquaintances, I'd encourage all of you to join us in this effort to ask the campaigns to stop — respectfully — ask them to stop using news material in their advertising."

25 June 2005 - 5:16pm
...I would have picked Will to be my partner in science class. We had an email yesterday from a woman who was concerned about the notation on our website stating that the average water temperature in Splashin' Safari is currently 85 degrees. She asked if that water temperature was too hot to be comfortable. I forward all emailed comments to Will, Mrs. Koch, and our directors. Usually I've already responded to the email by then, but sometimes I ask for help. I emailed back that hot tubs are usually set at 100-101 degrees, so 85 degrees was considerably cooler. Quite refreshing, actually. This morning, Will sent me a slightly more sophisticated explanation: Most people don't understand that because of water's high specific heat capacity, water of a given temperature (say 85 degrees) can cool a guest much more effectively than air at the same temperature. Eight-five-degree water feels cool to us humans while 85-degree air feels hot (our bodies are at 98.6, of course). We are all constantly giving off heat, and the water is better able to "absorb" it than the air around us. Seventy-degree water feels downright frigid. Anything below 78 to 80 would be described as "cold." Who says working at a theme park isn't an educational experience?

Lawmakers to hear from Detzner on voting problems
Secretary of State to answer questions from legislators about problems in 2012 election cycle
Florida lawmakers will be hearing from the state's top elections official about what improvements may be needed for future Election Days.
Although last month's election went quite smoothly compared to past Florida elections, there were problems in parts of the state where some voters were compelled to stand in long lines during early voting days. Gov. Rick Scott subsequently urged lawmakers to look at what changes may be needed to a 2011 law that reduced early voting days and may have contributed to the painfully long lines in some areas of the state. Scott faces re-election in 2014.
Secretary of State Ken Detzner is slated to appear Tuesday before committees in both the House and Senate to report on his findings.
Nearly 8.5 million Floridians cast ballots this year.

Why would nVidia maintain a separate codebase for OS X, when most of it is the same as for the other OSes? (And if anyone thinks that Apple or Microsoft write their own drivers: n00bs)
So back to my question: why would linux be any different from OS X, given that they both use the same OpenGL codebase?
Well, I know that windows and linux have the same codebase but I never heard anything about osx, and going on it's own opengl version and not following that the driver support don't help in that matter. It's common sense that the driver is made by nvidia and maybe apple puts some layer or something like that.
Well, it's right there in nVidia's own docs. In the exact same sentence that also explains that Windows and linux share the same codebase... So how could you (or anyone else) possibly have missed that? Selective reading much?
The difference is mainly that afaik only Apple distributes the drivers, instead of just downloading the latest ones directly from nVidia.
Aside from that, Apple has some custom extensions (then again, so do X and Windows in the form of GLX and WGL), and Apple wants to keep the OpenGL version the same across all vendors, to avoid compatibility issues. So their OpenGL versioning is lowest-common-denominator pretty much. Even though nVidia and AMD have OpenGL 4.2 support in their codebase, they only expose version 3.2 on OS X (but they do expose their extensions).
But again, that's still plenty for a 10-year old DX9 game.
Because OGL implementation is shared between all manufacturers. Check fig. 1-5 https://developer.apple.com/library/...1987-CH208-SW1
The common OpenGL framework layer is the software interface to the graphics hardware. This layer contains Apple's implementation of the OpenGL specification.
I guess you missed the part where they explain the driver layer:
That's where the actual hardware-accelerated vendor driver plugs in. Which is what you'd normally be using under OS X. Apple does provide a software implementation as a fallback, but it is not suitable for playing games like L4D.Originally Posted by Apple
They even drew you a picture:

I believe they already did a D3D tracker as a proof-of-concept, using Gallium to build a Windows driver.
That should easily be portable to linux.
But the biggest problem is that most linux drivers don't make use of Gallium. Certainly not the only two drivers that really matter: AMD's and nVidia's binary drivers.

Comment: Works well however the three levels of heat are limited and the two top ones are way to hot. The control unit is big and does not seem to fit anywhere on my gear so I can't get it out of my way or find a location to work it easily.
