Click on the ? mark next to the bus interface and run the render test, it should shoot up to default 3d clocks after that. Also w1z have you though about moving the render test to a button on the main tab so everybody can test without looking for it? just wondering cause I took me stumbling apon the test by playing around.
works fine for me. did you reboot after driver installation? this result in gpuz only appears when it can't find a way to talk to the driver and falls back to reading real-time clocks (which it does in hardware without the driver)

The deaths of more than 20,000 chickens was the spark that led to gunfire and heavily armed police officers arresting an Aldergrove man this week.
Slade Berggren, 20, has now been charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unlawfully discharging a firearm, and uttering threats.
The shots were allegedly fired at a local chicken farmer.
Corey Spitters and his son-in-law run farms on 269A Street in South Aldergrove.
In the early morning hours of Aug. 14, Spitters son-in-law found that a breaker had been flipped in his barn, shutting off the ventilation system.
Two floors of specialty Taiwanese chickens were virtually wiped out, with 11,000 to 12,000 birds per floor.
The incident could have been an accident, or it could have been deliberate sabotage, and it comes on the heels of numerous disputes with neighbours upset that the two families are expanding their farms and building more barns, said Spitters.
Spitters son-in-law headed down the street to confront the man he believed was responsible, and to talk to the mans parents.
It was then that Berggren allegedly fired the shots.
At least one shot hit the farmers pickup truck.
He was definitely shooting in his direction, said Spitters.
Another neighbour, who spoke to the Langley Advance on condition of anonymity, said she was awakened at about 12:30 by three rapid shots.
A large truck backed out of the driveway nearby and sped away, she said.
Neighbours called 911, and a large number of police, including the Emergency Response Team, descended on the street.
Neighbours saw ERT members with assault rifles, and their armoured personnel carrier, surround the house, and the street was blocked off.
All of a sudden, everything went quiet, the woman said. Police told them the incident was over.
The woman said there have been a number of alarming incidents of vandalism in the area.
One home has seen the tires on a vehicle slashed, and a brick thrown through the window with a note telling them to get out of the area, said the woman.
People have seen signs and lawn decorations disappear, and a sign warning about kids playing on the road set out by the chicken farms has been run over deliberately.
Spitters, who has farmed in the area for years, said some neighbours are friendly, while others are very hostile over the expanded farms.
Until recently, neighbourhood opposition was focussed on repeated complaints about construction, to the Township or other government agencies. Spitters said the families are doing everything by the book, but theyre facing numerous visits from officials thanks to the complaints.
Berggren was in court Friday, Aug. 17, for a bail hearing. He has been in custody since the Aug. 14 incident.

Class and economics muddy the investigation of a homicide in this thriller from director Josh Sternfeld. When a child is found murdered in the small town of Hilliard, police detective Noah Cordin (Nick Stahl) is assigned to investigate the case. The victim's mother, Allison Connor (Laura Benanti), is a wealthy and well-connected member of the County Board of Commissioners, so Cordin is under pressure to find the killer as soon as possible, but working with rookie officer Leslie Spencer (Rachel Nichols), he isn't finding many substantial clues. One of the few pieces of evidence suggests the culprit may have been from the nearby town of Caswell. Cordin was born and raised in Caswell and knows its history well -- while Hilliard is a prosperous suburban community, Caswell is a working-class town fallen on hard times, and its survival is dependent on a proposed factory coming into town. As Cordin spends more and more time in Caswell, he becomes a target for the resentment the locals feel toward their wealthier neighbors, and a tense situation becomes potentially explosive when word begins to circulate that Connor may use her influence to keep the new employer out of Caswell unless someone comes forward to identity who killed her son. Meskada (named for the county that contains both Hilliard and Caswell) also stars Norman Reedus, Kellan Lutz, Jonathan Tucker, and Grace Gummer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A family welcomes home a missing child, but he may not be all he seems to be in this suspense drama. Nicholas Barclay was a 13-year-old living in Louisiana with his family when he mysteriously disappeared, and though his mother, Kimberly (Ellen Barkin), and sister, Kathy (Emilie de Ravin), have been hopeful he'll be found, after three years it seems increasingly unlikely. To their surprise, Nicholas (Marc-André Grondin) returns home one day, claiming he'd been kidnapped by child predators but finally escaped. Kimberly and Kathy are overjoyed and welcome him home with open arms. Nicholas' brother-in-law, Brian (Brian Geraghty), senses this young man isn't really Nicholas, though, and Jennifer Johnson (Famke Janssen), an FBI agent looking into the case, shares his suspicions. But if Brian and Jennifer are convinced Nicholas is an imposter, why aren't Kimberly and Kathy willing to acknowledge the same evidence? Based on a true story, The Chameleon was the first English-language feature from French director Jean-Paul Salomé. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Inspired by the childhood experiences of actor George Hamilton, director Richard Loncraine's bittersweet period comedy tells the tale of one mother's attempt to find a new father for her two young boys after catching her husband with another woman. Beautiful but mercurial, Ann Devereaux (Renée Zellweger) has always gotten by on her own charms. Her husband, Dan (Kevin Bacon), is a successful bandleader, but when Ann becomes a witness to his infidelity, she packs their two sons, George (Logan Lerman) and Robbie (Mark Rendall), into her baby-blue Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible and never looks back. The year is 1953, and Ann is convinced that her girlish charms are still as irresistible as ever. At first their trip is something of an adventure for everyone involved, but the harder Ann searches for a suitable mate the more she realizes that true gentlemen are a dying breed. As time wears on, flamboyant fledgling actor Robbie and cynical aspiring writer George begin to tire of changing schools, their increasingly humble lodgings, and their mother's romantic misadventures. It's a life of instability and unpredictability punctuated by moments of sheer panic, and as Ann forms a different future for her family than either of her sons could have ever imagined, observant George learns to look past her narcissistic exterior and appreciate the determination, dignity, and love that lies just beneath the surface. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Hopper, Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, and Deborra-Lee Furness star in a family drama detailing the efforts made by an 12-year-old girl to come to terms with her mother's abandonment. Tara's (Robb) mother, Joleen (Theron), just can't seem to get her life together. Her boyfriend has recently been arrested for growing marijuana, and rather than attempting to create a stable living environment for her daughter, Joleen instead places Tara in foster care before vanishing without a trace. Joleen's brother, James (Stahl), isn't exactly the picture of equilibrium, yet he does feel sympathetic toward his niece and obligated to help her though such difficult times. After breaking Tara out of foster care, James and his newly freed niece set out on the open road together. Destination: nowhere. But every road has an end, and before long James and Tara find themselves at James and Joleen's father's farm. James has always avoided thinking about his violent childhood, though he realizes that in order to break the vicious cycle of dysfunction that the family has fallen into he must finally confront the demons of his past. Now, as Tara begins to understand why her missing mother has lived such a tumultuous life, James prepares for the confrontation that could bring his family closer together than ever before, if it doesn't destroy them first. William Maher, who served as visual effects supervisor for the 2005 Sundance film The Chumscrubber, makes his feature directorial debut with a film based on an original screenplay by that film's scribe, Zac Stanford. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man who can't walk meets a woman who envies his condition in this offbeat black comedy. Isaac Knott (Nick Stahl) lost the use of his legs when he was eight years old in an auto accident that also claimed the lives of his parents. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Isaac has enjoyed a successful career as the host of a talk show on a New York City public radio outlet. One day, Isaac is told an odd story about a man who arrived at a local hospital and demanded to have his legs amputated; the man was part of a secret subculture of able-bodied folks who wish to be paraplegics, using wheelchairs when they can and attempting to deaden their legs through artificial means. Isaac becomes fascinated with the idea of these wannabes, and begins studying the phenomenon for a piece on his show. Isaac's research leads him to Fiona (Vera Farmiga), a sexy but mysterious blonde who collects and restores Chinese art. Fiona is also the owner of a wheelchair she doesn't really need, and Isaac, who is increasingly attracted to her, wants to know all about her role in the fake-paraplegic underground. However, Fiona isn't about to give away any of her secrets for free, and Isaac discovers that the exchange of information and trust goes deeper the longer they know one another. The first feature film from writer and director Carlos Brooks, Quid Pro Quo received its premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Nick Stahl, Erika Christensen, and Gavin Rossdale star in a high-stakes caper film in which the only thing for certain is that nothing is as it seems. Fed up with the manner in which super-sized corporations continually stack the deck against the common man, Jason "Jinx" Taylor (Stahl) reaches his wit's end after attempting to withdraw his last 20 dollars from the bank and getting refused due to the fact that the transaction fee will overdraw him. Locked in a tightly sealed bank vault with pretty Jessica (Christensen), Jinx struggles to find a way out as armed robber Simon (Rossdale) and his men search for a means of getting in. As Officer De Gespe (Terry Crews) and his men surround the bank, it begins to appear that the situation is slightly more complicated than the cops anticipated. When Simon fails to intimidate Jinx into opening the vault, loyalties are tested and the situation quickly turns volatile. Soon it's revealed that the true mastermind of the operation is a man whom no one had expected, and that in order to collect the funds that have been skimmed from bank fees over the course of many years, he will have to convince Jinx and Jessica to issue a secret PIN number. Now, in order to escape with both the cash and their lives, Jinx will have to convince cops and robbers alike that he and Jessica are merely hostages who need to be released before things get truly out of hand. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Eisner Award-winning comic series Sin City comes to life in this live-action feature adaptation from director Robert Rodriguez and creator Frank Miller. Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history, this violent crime noir paints the picture of the ultimate town without pity through the eyes of its roughest characters. There's the street thug Marv (Mickey Rourke), whose desperate quest to find the killer of a prostitute named Goldie (Jaime King) will lead him to the foulest edges of town. Inhabiting many of those areas is Dwight (Clive Owen), a photographer in league with the sordid ladies of Sin City, headed by Gail (Rosario Dawson), who opens up a mess of trouble after tangling with a corrupt cop by the name of Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro). Finally, there's Hartigan (Bruce Willis), an ex-cop with a heart problem who's hell-bent on protecting a stripper named Nancy (Jessica Alba). Featuring a who's who supporting cast that includes Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Devon Aoki, and Nick Stahl, Sin City promises to be one of the most direct translations from page to screen of a comic series, with shots and dialogue adapted straight from the original comic's panels. Rodriguez quit the Director's Guild when they refused to let Frank Miller co-direct the film, a deal hashed out after the two collaborators developed and shot the opening scene utilizing a green-screen process to harness the stark, black-and-white look of the books as a litmus test for the rest of the production. Quentin Tarantino was brought in and reportedly paid one dollar to direct an extended scene between Del Toro and Owen that amounts to one issue of The Big Fat Kill miniseries. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

After countless faithful translations to the big screen -- not to mention one timeless, Oscar-winning musical version -- Charles Dickens' tale of downtrodden London youth is given a gritty, contemporary spin in this independent Canadian production. This time told from the point of view of the Artful Dodger, Twist transposes the story of Oliver Twist to modern-day Toronto, where Dodge (Nick Stahl) is a smack-addicted male hustler working the streets when he comes across foster-home runaway Oliver (Joshua Close). The two strike up a fast friendship and Dodge makes the boy his apprentice, introducing him to a world of drugs, prostitution, and squalid, rent-free living, overseen by the formidable pimp Fagin (Gary Farmer). But Oliver finds his loyalties torn between his nascent attraction to Dodge and his son-like affection for Nancy (Michèle-Barbara Pelletier), the girlfriend of and pusher for the powerful drug dealer Bill Sykes. Written and directed by former child actor Jacob Tierney (The Neon Bible), Twist first made its appearance on the festival scene at the 2003 Venice and Toronto fests. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The second sequel to the 1984 sci-fi action classic, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is the first film without the involvement of director James Cameron. Instead, Jonathan Mostow, the man behind Breakdown and U-571, has stepped in to fill the shoes left vacant by Cameron. In addition, the role of John Connor from the second film has been recast, with In the Bedroom's Nick Stahl taking over for Edward Furlong. Set ten years after the events of 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the film finds Connor living on the streets as a common laborer. Sarah Connor, his mother, has since died, and their efforts in the second film have not stopped the creation of SkyNet artificial intelligence network. As he will still become the leader of the human resistance, Connor is once again targeted by a Terminator sent from the future by SkyNet. This new Terminator, T-X (Kristanna Loken), is a female and is more powerful than any of her predecessors. To protect Connor, the human resistance sends a new T-101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back from the future. Also starring Claire Danes, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had its world premiere when it showed out of competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Two women connected by family are drawn closer by fate in this low-key drama. Frances (Jacqueline Bisset) is a woman in her early fifties who had already begun to sense time was running out for her when she learned that she has cancer. While Frances is fighting the disease through medical treatment, she decides it's a good idea to do some travelling before it's too late, and she pays a visit to Bob (Seymour Cassel), a former boyfriend who now owns a farm in rural Pennsylvania. To Bob's surprise, Frances strikes up a fast friendship with his wife Betty (Peggy Gormley), and Frances shares a confession with her -- while Frances maintains a close relationship with her son Morgan (Nick Stahl), she also had a daughter by Bob that she put up for adoption, and she's not certain if she should track down the child while there's still time. Coincidentally, Frances' daughter is Rebecca (Martha Plimpton), a successful lawyer who has begun to express a curiosity about her birth parents. Rebecca has been hired by a large communications firm to deal with the paperwork regarding the purchase of a radio station in Florida, and while in the Sunshine State, Rebecca gets to know the station's manager, Jimmy (Frankie R.

As Jimmy and Rebecca ease into a short-term romance, he shares stories about the "Sleepy Time Gal," a mysterious female disc jockey who worked at the station back in the '50s; what neither Jimmy nor Rebecca know is that the Sleepy Time Gal was actually Frances. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Character actor and noted photographer Todd Field made his directorial debut with this emotionally powerful drama, which earned enthusiastic reviews at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Frank Fowler (Nick Stahl) is a handsome and amiable young man who has recently graduated from high school and is spending the summer working as a lobster fisherman before heading off to college in the fall. Frank is also involved with Natalie (Marisa Tomei), an attractive woman ten years his senior who is separated from her husband Richard (William Mapother), though their divorce has not yet been finalized. Frank's parents, Matt (Tom Wilkinson) and Ruth (Sissy Spacek) wonder if it's wise for their son to be pursuing a romance that he won't be able to continue in a few months; Matt trusts Frank and leaves him to make his own decisions, while Ruth quietly but firmly registers her objections. One day, Richard snaps, and breaks into Natalie's home; when he discovers Frank is there, he viciously kills him. The wheels of justice turn in an unexpected direction, and Richard is released on bail, free to go his own way as he awaits his trial. Matt and Ruth are both deeply traumatized by the event; while Matt tries to deal with his hurt by retreating into his work and avoiding his feelings, Ruth instead becomes increasingly withdrawn, losing interest in her job as a music teacher and spending her nights chain smoking in front of the television. In the Bedroom was adapted from the short story Killings by Andre Dubus. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark, who made a controversial feature debut with the disturbing drama Kids, returns with another disquieting look at amoral and sexually precocious youth. Bobby (Nick Stahl) is a high school student growing up in southern Florida in the early '90s. Bobby is also a borderline psychotic; he frequently lashes out with brutal violence against those around him and especially enjoys humiliating his best friend Marty (Brad Renfro). While Bobby professes to hate and fear homosexuals, he goads Marty into performing phone sex with men, makes Marty and his friends watch hardcore gay porn films with him, and may have sexually abused Marty. But Marty is hardly the only victim of Bobby's abuse; Bobby has sexually assaulted Marty's girlfriend Lisa (Rachel Miner) and more than once has barged in on the couple while they were making love. Lisa's best friend Ali (Bijou Phillips) has also been raped by Bobby, and he has mistreated nearly everyone in their circle of friends. One night, Marty, Lisa, Ali, and several others decide Bobby's cycle of abuse must stop. But their solution is as ugly as the problem -- the teens stab Bobby, slit his throat, crush his head with a baseball bat, and throw his body into the bay, where the remains will be eaten by alligators. Bully is based on a book by journalist Jim Schutze, which recounted the facts of the 1993 murder of Bobby Kent, who after years of abusing his friends and classmates, was killed by seven of his acquaintances in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. As with Kids, Larry Clark's startlingly graphic depiction of sex, violence, and drug use among teenagers crossed the boundaries of what the MPAA could permit in an R-rated film, and the picture's distributors chose to release the film without a rating. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

On one day, a number of young artists, musicians, and seekers of fame and fortune find their lives intersecting in the sometimes sleazy heart of California's hipster community, including struggling fashion designer Tammy (Anna Friel), pretentious photographer Michael (Simon Baker), sensitive songwriter Felix (Rory Cochrane), and his dashiki-clad manager Green (Adam Goldberg). Sunset Strip was co-written by Randall Jahnson, who previously examined the rock scene in his scripts for The Doors and Dudes; Adam Collis made his directorial debut with this film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Association for Consultancy and Engineering has looked at PFI deals signed over a 15 year period by government departments, finding that the more projects a department undertook, the lower the eventual cost to the taxpayer. This suggests a need to examine what worked well and badly within the PFI system as reforms are taken through to finance new infrastructure using different models. The study, entitled Performance of PFI – 1996-2010 – lessons learned, is the first of a series looking at how the UK will finance future infrastructure investment. It was undertaken to highlight the lessons that could be learned from PFI in order to better inform new ways of thinking about financing projects. The least expensive department was the Department for Communities and Local Government. It undertook 64 projects and faced public sector costs over the lifetime of the contracts of £2.69p for every pound of private investment generated. This contrasted with the Ministry of Justice, which undertook just 23 projects and faced a cost to the public purse of £11.53p for every pound of private investment generated. Chief executive of ACE, Nelson Ogunshakin OBE, said: "There was clearly a divergence between departments that shows the need to review and learn lessons. Those that had built up a greater deal of experience in running PFI deals appeared to procure them more effectively. This may suggest that government is right to look at creating a central team, through the Efficiency Reform Group to drive efficiency across departments as it seeks new ways of financing vital projects." The research, which looked at deals done through 1996 to 2010, also suggests that the first five years of PFI, from 1996 to 2000, were the most costly for the taxpayer for every pound generated in private investment. The period from 2001 to 2005 was the least costly spell for PFI, with the cost to the taxpayer rising again in the last five years, possibly because the financial crisis raised the cost of private capital. However, there was little divergence in the cost to the taxpayer between larger and smaller PFI deals, suggesting that large complicated deals were not more likely to prove expensive than relatively small deals. This being the case, private investment may still prove valuable in future for projects of all sizes. Nelson Ogunshakin said: "It is important to note that there seems to have been a tangible rise in the level of experience in procuring PFI projects over time, and perhaps within industry in delivering through PFI, that made it less costly for the taxpayer. This means that as the UK looks to meet its infrastructure needs it should learn the lessons of what PFI did well and where it struggled to ensure best practice and develop better more flexible models. ACE will be looking at what these new flexible models should look like in its next paper." -ENDS- Notes to Editors This paper is the first of a new series of infrastructure financing papers from ACE. It looks at 15 years of Private Finance Initiative experience in the UK. The paper establishes the lessons learned, both positive and negative, that must inform new thinking on project financing if the public and private sectors, and most importantly the taxpayer, is to get the best possible value for money. The analysis of this data looks at the unitary payments as reported by HM Treasury. The data does not provide a breakdown that would allow for a detailed analysis of the scale and number of components that make up these unitary payments. This subsequently makes value judgements difficult. However, it does allow us to make comparisons over time, across departments and over capital ranges. Click here for the full document.

"The beats sound nothing like anything you've ever heard me on. The features that I'm going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it's a very human album. What I mean by that is that it's contradictory. On one song I say, 'The saint is ours', like we're in the saint's corner and then I have another song called 'I'm Not A Saint'. It's so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There's no apologies in what I'm saying. I don't mind that it contradicts itself because that's what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it's Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I'm telling stories that I've never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It's super personal and I've got a big chip on my shoulder again. It's always been there, but it's getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain't goin' nowhere." -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13

I was summing up your behavior in one word. Notice I didn't say you're a cunt, I said "you're being a cunt". If you want to get pedantic over what I've said and how I've said it then at least read what I've said correctly. But yes you have acted immaturely, I have already shown proof of that in the manner in which you handled me making a mistake and you were the one trying to give me an English lesson in your first response to me. All I did was say you're being a cunt after that happened. Cunt is but a word and it's one which you seem to take offence to so sorry n shit but don't act like one and you won't get called it.
Mizery_Made said:
So, I'm the one that has approached this in an immature manner, all because I pointed out that you referring to all other labels besides the big three as independent labels didn't "paint an entirely accurate picture," yet you're the one that's resorting to "name calling." Yeah, definitely mature on your part.
DELUSIONALLLLLLL!!!!! thats me whatcha need bro
IMO said:
You just gotta know which songs to show ppl and which songs to let them hear on their own. I made a playlist of song I use to introduce ppl to strange/tech. Songs that know that aren't too "strange" and that no one can't deny their badassness. Use Kaliko and Rittz a lot, even Stevie Stone. With tech you just gotta pick stuff like Delusional over something like, say, Strange Music box... For example lol. Then later hit em in the head with them
Strange bangers haha
He's kinda pushing it more than ever now, but he still has the same flow usually . "Dwamn" has a sorta mainstream flow to me, but I mean I'm still a fan either way.
Charles Weis said:
Whoo Kid, Lil Wayne and B.o.B. can be seen as "Mainstream going Tech" because they reached out first (B.o.B. wanted Tech on a mixtape before they collabed) pretty much everyone else is Tech going mainstream. There are a few instances where he takes some of the artists out of their comfort zone, B.o.B. is a good example, Game on That's My Kid would've been another. Lil Wayne on a song about sex, whether or not Fuck is in the title or how dark the beat sounds, it isn't out of his comfort zone, and Wayne still failed to have his best brought out of him by Tech. Tech may not be mainstream, but to say he's not dabbling in, or "going mainstream" is just ignoring his music. There's clearly a change, some times it works, other times it doesn't.
Cody Nigg said:He's not going mainstream. If you haven't noticed, Tech always brings out the best in the artists that he brings in for features. This is him bringing in some "mainstream" rappers and putting them into his world/his music and bringing out the best in them and turning mainstream Tech. He's always kept true to himself and this album is just him turning the mainstream more and more Tech. He might work with rappers that are pushing "mainstream", but Tech N9ne is just turning mainstream Tech more and more.

no? come on now..look at the list of features he has or intends to collaborate with..
Nothing new yet.

It just really upsets me how many people are completely against listening to anyone on Strange because they might not like Tech's music. So many people assume everyone on the label sounds similar and don't give Mayday, Wrek (solo), Rittz a chance because of it.

Weight gain: Inevitable as you age?
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
30 comments posted
Is weight gain with age inevitable? It can seem that way when your weight climbs despite dieting and even exercising. Indeed, a recent study suggests that a range of lifestyle choices — not just the number of calories in your diet — influence your weight as you age.
The study included more than 100,000 men and women who were in good health and not obese. Their weight, diet and lifestyle habits were tracked for up to 20 years. The pounds seemed to creep on, with an average weight gain of slightly less than 2 pounds every 4 years.
What surprised researchers was that specific foods were independently associated with more weight gain:
- Potato chips
- Potatoes
- Unprocessed red meats
- Processed meats
On the other hand, eating more of some foods — vegetables, nuts, fruits and whole grains — was associated with less weight gain.
Liquid calories were another culprit. Alcoholic beverages and fruit juices were associated with a small but gradual increase in weight. Sugar-sweetened beverages were a major contributor to weight gain.
Lifestyle factors also influenced weight gain. Not surprisingly, physical activity was important to weight control. So was limiting TV time. Sleep also factored in. Weight gain was lowest among people who slept 6 to 8 hours a night and was higher among those who slept less than 6 hours or more than 8 hours.
Do any of these findings surprise you? Motivate you to change your habits? If so, how?
To your health,

Todd Kalish is Lake Erie basin coordinator and acting Lake Michigan basin coordinator for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. He tells the Detroit Free Press ( http://on.freep.com/OpELRc) for a Thursday story that officials would likely develop a plan to gather samples of live bait shipments rather than surveying every bait shop around Lake Erie.
The move comes after word last month that nearly two dozen water samples taken from Sandusky Bay and Sandusky River in Ohio tested positive for the presence of Asian carp DNA.
No live Asian carp were found. Scientists fear bighead and silver carp could unravel food webs by disrupting the Great Lakes' ecological systems.

A friend of mine just posted a great quote on Facebook today that reads: Hope is wishing something would happen. Faith is believing something will happen. Courage is making something happen. You have to muster up the courage to fulfill the desires of your heart. You have to make time and sometimes make money and that can all lead you to feel overwhelmed…but you have to have the courage to start somewhere.
The wonderful thing about fulfilling your passion is you will meet wonderful people in the wake. It is a blessing you may not expect to find, but the people you meet may end up being the people you needed in your life and they may be the ones to change your life forever.
Don't ignore the desire to try something new. If it's on your mind regularly, do something about it. And if you have a good story that speaks to this topic, email it to me! I would love to read how taking action changed your relationships and your life! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am in the process of building the 25' Hooper Island Draketail as shown in Sucher's "Simplified Boatbuilding, The V Bottom Boats". My approach and resources are as follow:
My interest in boats comes from growing up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for a while as a kid. During that time (1958-1964) I was taken fishing by various folks in everything from home-made skiffs with 5 hp Briggs and Stratton motors to 40 ft flat bottom deadrise bay work boats. Later visits to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum reinforced the interest in bay boats, while also introducing me to the 45 ft draketail, Martha. Something about the grace and efficiency of the draketail shape captured my imagination and stuck with me.
I also have a son who is a trained a machinist, who came to that training through small engine repair and a fascination with old, one lunger engines. So, a wooden boat with an old marine engine seemed like an appropriate project for both of us. Im a fairly useful woodworker, my son can fabricate just about anything in metal, and if it burns hydrocarbons, he can make it run.
All of which is leads in to my desire to build a 25 ft draketail with an old marine engine. The boat is more a woodworking project for enjoyment than a screaming rush to finish a boat. Full epoxy construction doesnt hold a lot of fascination for me. Traditional woodworking does. To that end, Id like to stay with traditional methods as much as possible, while acknowledging that the boat will be used infrequently (we live in the mountains of Virginia). Right now, my thoughts are heart pine planking, with splines in the bottom cross planks.
We have what appears to be a 1940s era Navy launch engine for use in the boat. The engine is a 2 cylinder Michigan Senior Twin converted by the Michigan Marine Motor Company of Coldwater, Michigan. The basic motor before conversion is a Hercules NXB industrial engine. I have gotten a manual from Hercules. Power output appears to be about 12 hp at 1,500 RPM. My son has gotten the motor running and it seems to be in fine shape. The attached marine transmission is direct drive (1:1) with reverse. Weight is about 375lb. The engine is presently set up for raw water cooling, which I plan to change to a closed system with a keel cooler, using raw water to cool the exhaust.
As a general philosophy, this boat is to be a recreation of a 1920s era Chesapeake Bay work boat; a water going pick-up truck. That would mean painted exterior, turpentine and pine tar interior, little or no bright work, and a minimum of varnish. This is much the same approach I take to old woodworking tools. They are tools to be kept in good condition and used, not museum pieces to be preserved in a glass box.
In lurking around this forum, I have seen mention of the 25 ft draketail in several threads. Has anybody gotten one on the water? I'd like to hear of your experience. All comments, ideas, guidance , and warnings gratefully accepted.

"Backroads America," photographs of Americana, from Monument Valley and the California redwoods to Graceland and the murder scenes in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood; 'Figuring it Out': Work by participants in River Arts' figure drawing open studio sessions.
Thomas Fuss
Travel doesn't get more American than the cross-country road trip. Photographer Thomas Fuss, in his show "Backroads America" at Morrisville's River Arts Center, takes viewers on that classic coast-to-coast pilgrimage. With his Linhof Technorama S III camera, he captures natural wonders such as Monument Valley, the arched rocks of Moab, Utah, and the California redwoods, as well as manmade attractions: Graceland, the Bonneville Salt Flats during Speed Week and the murder sites in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. But, as any road tripper knows, it's often the obscure wonders by the side of the road that turn out to be the most remarkable. Fuss gives these "in between" places their due. Through January 7.

Speak with Josiah Mooney for just a few minutes and you're immediately impressed with the strength of his commitment to service. A "roll up your sleeves and get it done" kind of guy, this Catholic missionary from Texas doesn't waste time on long philosophical discussions about the best way to make a difference for those in need. He simply goes out and does it.
Mooney currently serves as Project Administrator/Quality Analyst at Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics in Tyler, TX where he has managed the transformation of 21 primary care sites into Patient-Centered Medical Homes. He also keeps a sharp eye on the quality of care provided to the patients in these facilities. For this dedicated professional, healthcare has become his way of embracing the teachings of St. Vincent de Paul and doing God's work.
"I became interested in healthcare issues as a way to help people who really need it," he said. "Working directly with healthcare in my own country, primarily as part of a Catholic organization, is exactly what I want to do."
A former football player at St. John's who earned an undergraduate degree magna cum laude in Political Science and a graduate degree on the Rome campus in Government and Dispute Resolution, Mooney spent more than six years in Peru and Guatamala with organizations such as the Catholic Relief Services and the San Lucas Mission.
Never satisfied with the role of an 'armchair general', this energetic and caring individual is the kind of person we'd all want on our team. While overseas he did everything from helping to plan and develop local hospitals and elementary schools to assisting with the relocation of families displaced by hurricane-caused landslides. He even served as the head of operations and exports for a local coffee company, greatly increasing its economic viability and improving the overall socio-economic status for regional employees.
"It's the whole concept of going to live with a people, a culture, establishing relationships with them, learning about them and learning about the structural injustices that may exist to negatively impact their lives," he said. "St. John's taught me how to fundamentally approach those issues from the perspective of the Gospel, taking into consideration Catholic social teachings, especially those relating to the common good and the dignity of the individual."
Mooney's interest in healthcare was due in part to the example of the Vincentian community that he acquired during his time at St. John's. Once he graduated and went overseas, he quickly understood that the availability of adequate healthcare was a pressing issue for many people both at home and abroad. For this true humanitarian, his ongoing focus on healthcare issues allowed him to serve the Lord while addressing the very real concerns of those whose needs are great.
"The values of St. Vincent and of Catholic social teaching are displayed so effectively in healthcare and education," he noted. "For a long time the Vincentians have been involved with meeting the needs of people who don't have insurance or who can't afford decent medical care. And they do that in a responsible way that maintains human dignity. St. John's taught me the importance of responding to the needs of those who are marginalized in a very basic and practical way."
Recognizing his outstanding commitment to putting St. John's mission of service to others into action, the University had planned to honor Mooney as the youngest recipient of the St. Vincent de Paul Medal at the Vincentian Convocation on January 27, 2011. The award is given to an outstanding Catholic layman who has embodied in his life the ideals and values of St. Vincent DePaul. Although a winter snowstorm caused the postponement of the event, he will receive his award when the Convocation is rescheduled in the future.
Genuinely modest about his accomplishments, Mooney credits the University with inspiring him to embark upon his life as a Catholic missionary.
"St. John's opened me up, and studying in Rome really opened me up," he said. "If we're going to make a difference in this world, we need to ask ourselves how we can merge our careers with our calling, and figure out how we can integrate our values with our daily lives. I became involved in healthcare because I wanted to meet the needs of others through service. That's really faith-based, because it's based on the Gospel, just as Jesus responded to those people who surround Him with their needs. I love doing what I do, not only because it's a worthy career, but really because it's the right thing."

The special order for this hour being the resolutions in the case of the Senator from Elkhart and Lagrange, they were taken up. The first declares that Mr. Murray, the sitting member, was not entitled to his seat. The second declares that Mr. Baker is entitled to the seat occupied by Mr. Murray.
Mr. JOHNSTON demanded a division of the question, that the vote might be taken on the resolutions separately.
Mr. DOWNEY made an able legal argument in favor of Mr. Murray, He contended that allthough Mr. Murray preformed the duty and received the compensation of a regimental Quartermaster in the army, he had never been legally mustered into the service, and had not given a bond as the regulations required.
Messrs MANSFIELD and CLAYPOOL controverted the positions of the Senator from Ohio and Switzerland. [Mr. Downey] contending that the commission was evidence sufficient to disqualify Mr. Murray from holding a seat as Senator.
page: 232[View Page 232]Mr. HORD said that the commission was only prima facie evidence against Mr. Murray, but he had a right to show that he was or was not legally an officer. He could not be an officer legally until he had filled all the requirements of the regulations of the army. The only evidence we had that Mr. Murray ever exercised the duties of the office of Quartermaster were his own statements, and his statements should be taken in full if at all.
The first resolution was rejected by yeas 20, nays 22.
On motion by Mr. JOHNSTON the second resolution, was laid on the table by yeas 24, nays 17; excused 1.

I was surprised to read some of Selectman Robert Pepler's comments in last week's article entitled "Selectman Informally Queries Residents on De-organizing Upton."
Of particular note is Pepler's statement that a lot of good people don't want to run for office in Upton. At the beginning of October 2012, in a special election, Pat Kenyon was elected to the office of Selectman in a landslide vote. Supporters of Ms. Kenyon speak freely of her honesty and integrity. Her election also, to my knowledge, marked the first time in the town's history that the board would be comprised of a women's majority. Unfortunately, due to a technicality in the posting of the warrant for the election, Ms. Kenyon has not been seated as elected.
According to Selectman Pepler, another special town meeting was not called because "we did not want to spend the money." Instead, no election is planned until the regular town meeting in June, and the selectmen's office will carry on its duties with just two members.
This seems a corundum – to talk of dissolving a 150-year-old town charter and give up something as precious as home rule, based in part on a lack of good people to run for office, when in fact such a popular candidate is told to chill her jets for eight months rather than taking her elected office.
It is my understanding that the cost of a special election would be approximately $100 to pay for a moderator, a little bit of heat and some pencils and paper. Perhaps such a meeting could be made more cost-effective to the town with a re-vote on Mr. Pepler as well. He, too, was fairly recently elected at a special town meeting and, since according to his own research, the same procedures for town meetings/opening statements of the warrants have been followed for the past 10 years, he would not be legitimately elected either. In fact, some residents of the town have begun to question the legality of contracts and other town business, since it would seem that none of the selectmen are technically legally elected.
Furthermore, taxpayers who bring issues before the town deserve the attention of a full board and the ability to have a tie-breaking vote.
Let's not talk about giving up a town charter based, in part, on a lack of people to serve in office, when there is a citizen ready, willing and able to take that role.

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
"This is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy," writes Ernest Hemingway of the years between 1921 and 1926 when, as a struggling young writer, he lived in Paris with his first wife, Hadley, and their son, Bumby. A Moveable Feast, a collection of twenty essays published after Hemingway's death, captures the moods of a city.
Having quit his job as a journalist, Hemingway lived in an apartment overlooking a sawmill. Selling only a few stories and living on very little money, he skimped on firewood, wore sweatshirts as underwear, and skipped more than a few meals. He borrowed books from Sylvia Beach's famous bookstore, where his credit was good and Sylvia herself could be counted on for small loans. Occasional windfalls came from lucky bets on the horses, but new clothes and dinners out were rare. The couple did not consider themselves poor. They found poverty ennobling and looked down on the rich.
The book offers without pardon or apology Hemingway's unvarnished opinions on the legendary writers and artists who worked in Paris at that time. He relished Gertrude Stein's food, liqueur, and encouragement but resented her treatment of him and his wife as "promising children." He judged the poet Ford Madox Ford foul-smelling, forgetful, and abusive and the painter Wyndham Lewis arrogant and cruel. Three essays reveal Hemingway's assessment of F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose talent, he writes,...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Perhaps more than any other writer of the twentieth century, Ernest Hemingway laid bare the violent realities lurking beneath all human experience. His aim from the very beginning was to represent those realities as precisely as he could, never minimizing their destructive potential. Life, he wrote early in his career, was uncompromising. It punished the fine and the foul impartially, taking its own grim time, choosing its own grim methods. The bleak and simple wisdom is given form in the retreat from Caporetto, the wound of Jake Barnes, the wreckage of the old man's great fish.
In his attempts to render, and thus confront, the desolating facts of life, Hemingway was himself uncompromising. He developed a subdued and stoic prose that betokened what he thought the only meaningful response to the inevitable ruin that time visits on everyone. Through the exercise of control, individuals could confer grace and dignity on defeat, and though time would destroy it need not humiliate. Even Hemingway's symbols reflected this tight dialectic, compressing it into local realities that were images of the eternal shape of the contest, as in his picture of the bullfight. In the rituals of the arena, the bull would always die, and ultimately the bullfighter would too. The animal, however, would go down charging, whereas the fighter at his best performed a ceremony of courage, delicacy, and precision. Though neither would survive, neither would retreat from the...
