Publisher of the Times-Georgian newspaper Leonard Woolsey has been an avid University of West Georgia supporter for many years – with significant contributions toward higher education and time and effort into bettering students' lives. As chairman of the 2009 Annual Fund, he is once again demonstrating his support for the university.
"I've long been a fan of UWG. The Times-Georgian works very closely with it and students at every opportunity," said Woolsey. "I'm honored to help contribute to moving the university forward with this year's drive."
The Annual Fund, previously known as A DAY, is a rebranded fund-raising campaign to support student scholarships, faculty and staff development and undergraduate research.
A DAY began in 1983 as a one-day event to garner support from local businesses and individuals for the institution but since then has become a two-month campaign that has involved a growing number of volunteers, donors and university employees. This year the campaign has evolved into a collection of events to target a broader audience – not just local businesses and institutions, but alumni in other parts of the nation and overseas throughout Georgia and other states.
Woolsey said that the Annual Fund would work to personalize the communication of the critical role that donors play in the lives of students.
"I believe you'll see this campaign evolve into one that not only educates but motivates people emotionally to connect with how their participation makes a difference in student lives," said Woolsey. "There is no better investment than education. And we hope to help people better understand that an investment in education pays forward forever with the impact it makes in so many lives."
As chair of the Annual Fund, Woolsey's duties include overseeing the campaign's progress and participating in speaking events. He is also helping oversee the Annual Fund's transition, one that he believes will be a positive and progressive one.
"I think this is an excellent opportunity for us to remind ourselves of why we are involved in this commitment – for the betterment of the student's educational experience," said Woolsey. "That may seem broad, but it is also about the details of purchasing books or helping offset tuition expense. It needs change – and so does the best manner in which to fund these goals."
Woolsey will work to promote and coordinate the advanced solicitation drive for the duration of the Annual Fund until the victory celebration on Oct. 22.
The 24th Annual Run for UWG, sponsored by First National Bank of Georgia, is scheduled for Oct. 1, with a pre-registration form available online through Sept. 25 at www.westga.edu/alumni.
"I believe in education and in UWG," said Woolsey. "Get the word out. The word of why this is the right – if not the best – time to invest in education. And UWG is the place to invest. Right now."
For more information on the Annual Fund, call 678-839-6582.

Vancouver's Contigo uses location-based service expertise for consumer iPhone app
Vancouver's Contigo released an updated version of their very cool iPhone app called Moby today.
Moby is a private location-sharing application for staying connected with the people that matter to you. Moby lets you quickly and easily share your location with who you want, and when you want, giving you complete control over your privacy.
Moby notifies your friends and family of your whereabouts, lets you share your location for a period of time, or just send a single check in location, and alerts your family and friends when you need help.
The improvements made to Moby and released today are a direct result of user feedback. While iPhone users love the app, they've found that constant usage drains their battery a little too quickly.
Moby now preserves your battery when it's idle (not sharing, not being shared with) and it suspends Moby services when your battery strength drops to 30%. Smart updates.
Location-sharing applications on your smartphone are nothing new, so why use Moby?
Eight-year old Contigo are leaders in GPS and location-based services for asset tracking, fleet management, and life safety applications. They have expertise is in creating highly secure, highly reliable web and cell phone based applications utilizing GPS and other advanced location technologies. Contigo's solutions are in use throughout North America and every day they process millions of location points for our customers through our high-availability, redundant server infrastructure.
Contigo's experience lends serious credibility to Moby as a consumer safety service.
Their "Simply Aware" tagline is genius and in the family context should appeal to both parent and child. Simply being aware of the location of their child will give parents the sense of security they want. And from the child's perspective, less annoying texts and calls to check on their whereabouts will be a welcome relief as well.

I've been trying to get my email accounts working with Zimbra, and it's definitely a lot easier to manage than Evolution or Thunderbird.
In any case, all of my accounts are validated except for my yahoo.co.jp account. (go figure)
Are Japanese accounts simply not supported at this time? After searching a bit, it seems to be the case, and that Chinese, Korean, French, UK accounts are validating correctly.
I'm using the Linux version Build 1537. (On Eeebuntu 2.0 NBR based on Ubuntu 8.10 if it matters)

RECOVERY GEAR: A Must Have Before Hitting the Trails
If there's one question I get asked all the time from new Jeepers it's, "what's the first mod I should do to my Jeep?" And, my answer to them is always the same, "recovery gear". Fact of the matter is, whether you're new to the world of off-roading with a right off the show room floor stock Jeep, or a long time veteran with a highly modified built up trail rig, everyone gets into a jam sooner or later.

Employers Want More Than Someone with a Degree
They want an employee that can provide them a return on their investment. Every academic program we develop is shaped by Employer Advisory Boards and/or Subject Matter Experts who give us feedback from the frontlines about what is needed in today's workforce. This means we combine challenging academics with practical education that delivers a graduate who is ready to make an impact in their career from day one.
Degrees designed for today means:


text:
LHP Noel Arguellas -#24 prospect- Noel had a tough 2010 part of it was his fault and part of it was not. He signed a large deal with the Royals out of Cuba and appeared to be ready for a huge start to his pro career but after battling with elbow tendinitis and some shoulder issues (eventually cleaned out) he never pitched in his introductory season to American baseball. He also battled with cultural differences and after one year appears (according to some) to have matured quite a bit. He still does not speak the language so you can imagine how tough that could be for him. He will be surrounded by several Spanish speaking teammates this summer.
RHP Manauris Baez- The 25 year old returns to Wilmington where he was 2-4 with a 4.13 e.r.a last season in 25 games with 15 starts. He also started 6 games for AAA Omaha.
LHP Kevin Chapman #32 prospect
Lefties that throw hard are a commodity and Chapman has a chance to put his name on the national map in the very near future. The former Florida closer can dominate at times with hard stuff that crumbles lefties and flusters righties. He has been threw a lot since leaving high school as one of the premiere arms in the country. The bullpen suits him even though he has command of 3 pitches. He should be able to compete for a big league job in the near future.
LHP Ryan Dennick 24 year old pitched at 2 levels last season going 5-4 with a 4.47 e.r.a in 35 games (all relief) he struck out 49 and walked 22 in 56 innings. He was a 22nd round pick in 2009
LHP Glenn Gibson- Glenn was originally a 4th round pick of the Nationals in 2006 before moving on to the Rays and back to the Nationals again. He has a career mark of 14-17 with a 5.89 e.r.a in 240 innings with 196 strike outs and 105 walks. He is still only 23 years old.
RHP Kelvin Herrera- Kelvin is a guy that might be better suited for the pen as he just can not stay healthy. He has a truly good arm though but has only showed that off in 34 games over 4 seasons. He runs a mark of 11-6 with a 2.07 e.r.a in 152 innings with 143 strike outs and just 37 walks.
LHP Brendan Lafferty The former UCLA Bruin has put up some solid numbers as a professional. He was drafted in the 18th round in 2009 and enters the season with a career mark of 9-4 with a 3.03 e.r.a in 137 innings with 124 K and just 40 walks. The soon to be 25 year old could see a early promotion to AA.
9 innings interview with Brendan
RHP Michael Mariot  The former Nebraska Husker is a intriguing prospect. The Royals 8th round pick in 2010 was 2-2 with a 3.54 e.r.a last summer with 64 K, 16 BB in 56 innings for Idaho Falls
LHP Justin Marks- The Royals acquired Marks from the A's in the David Dejesus deal and Marks looks to re-emerge as a legit prospect. He was the A's 3rd round pick in 2009. He has struggled as a pro going 6-14 with a 5.29 e.r.a but I really liked him at Louisville University.
RHP Tim Melville #16 prospect
It would be easy to write off a guy like Tim Melville if you are a casual observer of the minor leagues. After all, he did go 2-12 with a 4.97 e.r.a last season at Wilmington. The 21 year old should return to Wilmington where I think he will have a huge year ending up at NWA in time for a playoff run. He went back to some old habits in instructs and changed things that were not working and I am told by Tim and others that he looks like  the type of guy they thought they drafted again. I have always comped him in some ways to Mark Gubicza. Both have those Hollywood good looks and both could be rattled early in the game if things were not going well. In Marks case he had a support system around him and grew past that to become one of the all time great Kansas City Royals. I think Melville is maturing before our eyes and loving every second of his baseball career.
RHP Jake Odorizzi- #9 prospect. When it is all said and done this might be the jewel of the Zack Greinke deal. He can straight deal with hard stuff.  Scouts believe this could be the righty that replaces Zack Greinke in a future Royals rotation. Obviously, that is big praise for a kid not out of A ball yet. He was going to be the Brewers #1 prospect before the trade to the Royals. A kid that, by all accounts, is a wonderful young man. He is a true power pitcher with a fastball that sits in the mid 9′s and a outstanding out pitch in his power slurve. I understand he needs to develop his change up more but people feel it is close.
RHP Bryan Paukovits- He is very much a solid control pitcher that has generated some positive numbers in his time as a pro. He started 2010 with Burlington before a promotion to Wilmington. He went a combined 6-8 with a 4.34 e.r.a and had 114 k's and 39 walks in 130 innings.
RHP Elisaul Pimentel #40 prospect. Pimentel was acquired from the Dodgers for Scot Podsednk. Pimentel is your typical Dominican righty. He is tall and skinny but has some solid power stuff. He pitches in the low 9′s and has developed a nice feel for his slider that he used to get out lefties. He also has a average change up that works well with his power stuff.
RHP Tyler Sample- #30 prospect- This is a big year for the power righty from Colorado. He is another guy that might be best suited for the bullpen. He has a legit power arm with his fastball and secondary pitches. I said when he was drafted that his stuff might end up playing better out of the pen. I believed that even more after watching him start last season. Mentally the pen might be a better place for this max effort guy.
He has ranked very high on my list in previous posts. But, he is just one of those guys that needs to mature on the mound. When he was drafted I thought he reminded me quite a bit of another native Coloradoan (?) in Rich "Goose†Gossage and yes he has that kind of arm. A arm that could be even more impressive as a reliever. I thought Dan Cortes would succeed as a reliever and it looks like he will. The mentality of Cortes and Sample are similar and I just see Sample as a guy that will be a lot higher on this list as he learns to pitch. I understand he has now changed some of the ways he trains so I could see the talent really arrive this season and push him way up this list.
C Jose Bonilla – Bonilla should do the brunt of the catching until Kevin David is ready. He played for Burlington last season and batted .239 with 4 HR in 284 at bats. The 22 year old Dominican will be playing his 5th season as a member of the Royals organization
C Juan Graterol- Juan's season ended after a injury last season after just 34 games. He played 3 games for Wilmington and will also see time at 1B. The 22 year old Venezuelan has a career line of .278/.349/.315/664 with 0 home runs in 565 at bats.
INF Deivy Batista He played 2B,3B, and SS for the Bees last season batting .236 with 6 HR in 390 at bats with 100 strike outs.
INFÂ Adam Frost- Frost was signed out of the Independent league where he played for Winnipeg after being a Detroit Tigers draft pick. He hit .250 with 5 HR in 228 at bats last season for Burlington and Wilmington where he played mostly 3B.
1B Joey Lewis- The Royals 41st round pick in 2009 has some legit power. He hit 8 HR last season in 363 at bats but struck out 113 times.
SS Alex McClure- Alex has a fantastic glove and reminds me quite a bit of organizational warrior Chris McConnel (now a Nationals prospect) I think Alex will be a better hitter and he has a chance to carve out a nice little career as a defensive minded middle infielder.
INF Rey Navarro- The Royals picked up Navarro from the Diamondbacks for Carlos Rosa last season. The former 3rd round pick was once a top 10 prospect of the D-Backs but his career has not progressed as planned. He still has some talent and carries a career mark of .251/.293/.337/630
INF Johnny Whittleman- Johnny is yet another former top prospect that is trying to put something together again. The Royals picked him up late in spring training from the Texas Rangers where he had been their 2nd round pick in 2005. The 24 year old spent most of 201o at AA Frisco where he batted just .201 with 5 HR in 259 at bats. He is a fine defensive 3rd baseman.
OF Tim Ferguson- The Royals 10th round pick last season is a versatile, speedy OF. He played in 47 games after signing but missed significant time with a hamstring injury.He hit .277 but also struck out 50 times in 191 at bats.
OF Nick Francis- I thought Nick would move up to NWA but numbers are keeping him at Wilmington for now. He has really good power and batted .284 with a .516 slg last season swatting 16 HR and 24 db in 335 at bats.
OF Whit Merrifield- One of my favorite college players in recent memory. Last summer I texted a Royals f.o guy and said are you guys looking at Merrifield? I said that I really like him and think he has a chance to be a very solid role player ( a la Willie Bloomquist) in the big leagues. I was assured he was on the radar and was a guy they had watched for some time. About a month later Whit had the biggest hit in South Carolina baseball history as he had a walk off hit closing out Rosenblatt stadium and giving the Gamecocks the CWS title. I am hoping Whit sees time in the infield this season to better round out his game and push him closer to a career as a role player.
OF Carlo Testa- Testa has been in the system since 2008 (18th round pick) he played for the Bees last season hitting .275 with 50 extra base hits in 461 at bats. He has some pop and will run a bit too as he has swiped 50 bases in 3 seasons.
OF Adrian Ortiz- Adrian has moved very slowly in the organization. The former Pepperdine star broke his hand late in the season and missed all of winter ball. Adrian was taken out of HS in the 5th round by the Cubs in 2004 and again in the 5th round by the Royals in 2007. The 24 year old has a career line of .288/ .319/.359/678 and also has 105 career stolen bases in 414 games.

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good's Christopher Hale released the following statement regarding Rush Limbaugh's comments about Pope Francis:
"Catholics of all political stripes are disturbed by Rush Limbaugh's incendiary comments this afternoon about Pope Francis. To call the Holy Father a proponent of "pure marxism" is both mean spirited and naive. Francis's critique of unrestrained capitalism is in line with the Church's social teaching. His particular criticism of "trickle down economics" strengthens what Church authorities have said for decades: any economic system which deprives the poor of their dignity has no place within a just society.
Contrary to what Mr. Limbaugh suggests, the Catholic Church isn't built on money, but on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.
We call on Mr. Limbaugh to apologize and retract his remarks. We urge other Church organizations and leaders--both ordained and lay--to also condemn Mr. Limbaugh's comments.
We proudly stand with Pope Francis as he provides prophetic leadership for the Catholic Church and the entire world."

David Lloyd-Jones commented 2013-12-05 17:07:55 -0500Patricia Rutter,
You seem to be buying Rush Limbaugh's line that somehow His Holiness said something against America.
That was insane when Limbaugh said it, and it's unpleasant to see an remnant in your "The Pope should not disdain our country for our capitalistic system."
He didn't. Not for a moment. It's all in Limbaugh's big mouth, and somehow it's crept into your post — and it's sinmply a right-wing lie!
"Sinmply" Hmmm. That was a typing error, but I think I'll keep it. :-)
Todd Sorensen commented 2013-12-02 19:34:00 -0500Well said, CACG and Pope Francis!
Patricia Rutter commented 2013-12-02 17:01:57 -0500I already wrote my response…I understand other nation's governments of a social means. We are of the capitalist system. That system and ALL others are EXPLOITED for corrupt means. Profit to live, taxes for various reasons, extend the economy. JOBS to maintain this is essential. Obama has taken this country down drastically, systematically, abruptly for his Socialistic means. European influence, big bankers, etc. want our power dismantled. Rush Limbaugh knows all this. I heard his comments and they are correct. The Pope should not disdain our country for our capitalistic system. He never lived under it, as far as I know. He should keep 'liberation theology' out of his comments. Pope John Paul II refused 'liberation theology' and so should Pope Francis.
Robert DesRosiers commented 2013-12-02 16:42:33 -0500Unfortunately, the Pope in this encyclical, and some other recent public expressions relating to politics, economics, and issues relating to environment is aligning himself with global factions who are pursuing the removal of God from society especially Christianity.
Paul Butera commented 2013-12-02 16:40:45 -0500Trickle down economics and crony capitalism are destroying our country. The nation's biggest welfare queens are members of the Walton family who can make huge profits while the government subsidizes its workforce with food stamps. The Pope is right to take a stand. He is just opposing unbridled selfishness with Christian doctrine.
Patricia Rutter commented 2013-11-30 19:39:43 -0500Rush didn't like Pope Francis' condemnation of Capitalism..which Greed has definitely ruined. But, so do other forms of gov. get trampled with human covetousness. Making an honest profit is good. Big $$ wants more..and that's the great sin. That is also in Socialistic forms of gov. People are stepped on while the dictators have it all. It's GREED of heart/mind. We have a dictator now..and watching him 'transform' us into a third world system. I realize our Pope is from a more socialistic form of gov. Study capitalism and understand why it works…as long as GREED keeps out of its way.
Floyd Alsbach commented 2013-11-30 08:12:54 -0500I disagree with the Pope on this issue.
sjhbartlett commented 2013-11-27 16:46:49 -0500listen to the Pope who has dedicated his life to serving the least among us or a drug addict too afraid to even buy his own drugs??

Avon WildlifeTrust
Invaluable wetland habitat for rare species such as water vole and otter
Please click here to access the reserve's Nature Journal, which gives great information on which species to spot throughout the year.
Portbury Wharf lies on the land between Portishead and Royal Portbury Dock, adjacent to the Severn Estuary. Planning consent for the Port Marine housing development here was granted on condition that the developers designate a nature reserve on the adjoining land.
Large pools close to the foreshore of the estuary and the other areas of open water in the reserve provide an invaluable wetland habitat for rare species such as water vole and otter. Invertebrates like the hairy dragonfly can be seen here and greater horseshoe bat can be found hunting for insects here.
The grazing marsh areas are important for birds such as snipe and lapwing, and the hay meadows and hedgerows are rich in insect life, providing food and shelter for many small mammals, which in turn provide a meal for birds of prey including buzzards and owls.
Plans for the future include provision for an educational facility for local schools and groups.
The site is funded through Port Marine Management Company that receives income from each of the residents on site.

LED Lamp Design
This is the page you have been waiting for. Here you will learn how to build your own LED based lamp that can be installed into any bi-pin fixture. You will be creating a 4 foot fluorescent lamp.
This page outlines the assembly of an LED lamp. One of the components you will need is the current regulator. This page gives a schematic and the basic operating principals behind it.
Before reading, please take a glance at the materials list to see what is involved. Most of this bulb can be created with parts that can be picked up just about anywhere, but consider ordering the LEDs online, you can save a great deal of money.
Assuming you have all of the supplies infront of you, lets get started!
Step1: Cut Your Plexi-Glass
This step is relatively simple. A standard fluorescent tube is approximately 48 inches long and 1.5 inches wide (T12 = 12 * 1/8 inches wide). Take your sheet of plexi-glass and cut a piece that is 1.5 inches wide by 44 inches long. 4 inches is left in the tube for the current regulator and wiring in the ends. This is best done on a table saw while wearing all appropriate safety equipment. If you do not have access to a table saw, consider using a plastic laminate scoring knife, shown below.
Step2: Mark the Surface of the Plexi-Glass
This step is also relatively simple, but must be done with a high degree of accuracy. You may need to adjust this step slightly to accomodate the tools you have available to you. To mark the surface of the glass, the strip of plexi-glass was clamped to a dry-wall "T" as shown below. Then using a utility knife and a general-purpose square, the marks were created. The dry-wall "T" used had fractional-inches marked on it, so they were used as a guideline as to where to create the marks. The first step in marking the glass is to go across the shortest side of the plastic, marking at regular intervals widthwise. Then the marks were created lengthwise. These second lengthwise marks could be omitted if extra car is taken in the next step if you want to make your plastic as mark-free as possible. The final product is shown below. This step is more of a general guideline. Your process will almost certainly differ. If you are marking holes for 87 LEDs, you will be creating 29 rows. This works out to approximately 1 3/8 inches between groups if starting 1 1/2 inches from the end.
Step3: Drill your Holes
Its now time to drill the holes. This process is best done with a drill press. If you are creating an 87 LED bulb like the one designed, it will take approximately 20 minutes to drill all of the holes. Grab a piece of scrap lumber and clamp it to your drill press's stage. Align it to be square to the drill press stage, and the correct distance to ensure that all of the holes drilled fall in the same plane and on the score marks. The ideal drill bit size to use is 3/16 inches. This size is slightly smaller than required but allows the LEDs to be mounted without glue. This is where you can omit the lengthwise score marks by ensuring the jig is clamped in the correct location. Below are pictures of the process.
Step4: Mount your LEDs
Its now time to mount the LEDs. Grab your bag of LEDs, and insert three into a row. Ensure that the polarity is kept constant. All of the positive sides (longer lead) should be on the same side of the plexi glass. Next using needle-nose pliers, bend the leads into a square as shown in the picture below. Next, solder the leads together. Repeat this process for the other touching leads. The resulting soldered connection should be enough to hold the LEDs in place. Trim off any excess lead, but leave the main (+) and (-) long as shown in the picture below.
Step5: Add Resistors
Next, grab your bag of 2.7 ohm 1/4 watt resistors. Trim one side of the resistor down to 1/4" and trim the (-) side of the LED triplet down to 1/4". Solder the two shortened leads together. Repeat until all of the LEDs triplets have a resistor. The reason this resistor is 2.7 ohms is due to the current regulation circuit. The LM334 (the main component in the current regulator) has a reference voltage of 64 mV. A simple ohm's law calculation can determine this resistor value.
R=2.7 ohm
If you would like to change the current running to the LEDs, simply adjust this calculation.
For more information about this, check the regulator page.
Step6: Add Power Rails
Take some 18 AWG copper wire and being to solder it in place along the sides of the LEDs. Leave approximately 4 inches of extra wire on each end to work with at the end. Assuming you are starting with the positive rail, hold the copper wire against the LED's lead just slightly above the flattened area. This flattened area is a small "warning" that soldering below it can damage the LED, so try and stay above it. Now that the copper is held against this spot, fold the lead over the copper wire and solder. If you are bulding the 87 LED model, repeat this process 29 times until all of the LED triplets have a tie to the power rail. Then repeat this process for the resistors. The resistors do not have a "safety mark", so try and remain at least 1/4 inch away from the resistor when soldering. The image below is a cross-section of the lamp to help you layout the resistors and power rails. You will notice a 10 degree angle on the LEDs in this cross-section. This would be an ideal design that could make the lamp usable without a diffuser. However, this angle is not a requirement. It is difficult to drill accurate angles in the plexi-glass. In the bulbs that were built, the angle was omitted and the holes were simply drilled straight through.
The circuit is wired in a series-parallel circuit which allows for "power rails". The idea is that the LEDs are in series to use as much as the available as possible without going below the drop-out voltage of the LED. (3.5V * 3 = 10.5 V) Then, clusters of 3 LEDs are wired in parallel to get the necessary current to each LED.
Step7: Create Bi-Pin Connectors
A Bi-Pin Connector is the most common type of connector used in fluorescent lamps. The bi-pins commonly used have 12.5mm between two rigid pins. To create these connectors, take a piece of scrap wood and drill two holes approximately 12.5mm apart. It helps to use a drill press and digital caliper, but it can be done with a ruler and hand drill. The depth of these holes is not important, make them at least 1/2 inches deep. The holes should be 1/16 inches in diameter. Cut two 5 cm pieces of 14 AWG bare copper wire. Insert the two pieces into the drilled holes. Slip the end cap from the tube protector over the two wires now stuck into the scrap wood. Twist the two loose ends of the wire together ensuring that the other ends remain in the scrap of wood. Prepare some low-temperature melting plastic. This is usually done by simply boiling some water and pouring the granules in. Pour the molten plastic into the end cap making sure that the plastic is at least 3/8 inches deep and distributed evenly throughout the cap. Allow the piece to cool and when the plastic is fully cooled and hard, remove it from the wood. Trim the two wires coming out of the end cap to approximately 3/8 inches. You should now have a replica bi-pin connector that can be slipped into the end of the tube protector with no effort at all. Repeat this process to create another end-cap. When you have two completed, mark one as positive and the other as negative using a marker.
Step7: Install the Current Regulator and Attach the Bi-Pin Connectors
Build a current regulator as per the plans located on the "current regulator" page. The LED mounting plate should now be populated with LEDs, resistors and power rails. Slide the mounting plate with all of its components into the clear tube protector. One side of the PCB for the current regulator has three holes. Connect the loose ends of one side of the power rails to the two outer holes on the PCB ensuring that the polarity is correct. Take a short piece of wire of any gauge and connect it to the first LED triplet between the resistor and the (-) side of the LED. Connect the other end of this wire to the center hole on the PCB for the current regulator. This is the "tap" used to regulate current. The next step is to take a short piece of 18 AWG wire and connect the positive bi-pin connector to the remaining hole on the current regulator PCB. This will be the input trace. Take the negative bi-pin connector and connect it to the negative power rail on the opposite end of the tube. This is the rail with the resistors installed. Trim all wires to be as short as possible. The final step in creating the LED lamp is to slide everything into the tube and slip the bi-pin connectors into the ends. Ensure that the bi-pin connectors are aligned with each other.
You just created your very own LED lamp! To test your new lamp, connect a 12V 1A power supply and bask in the beautiful white light. This is not the ideal way of connecting it. Please remember that this lamp is intended to be operated on a solar system or a large switching mode power supply operating many of these lamps to lower the overhead.
If you like this project, consier getting friends together to build them. The best way to make these lamps is on an "assembly line" with at least two people. One person can be installing LEDs and mounting resistors while the other adds power rails.
You are also free to add more LEDs to this lamp! This circuit can handle up to 2x the amount of LEDs installed here, but it is important that you heatsink the power-transistor appropriately. You may also want to consider cutting vent holes to allow the passive cooling to be more effective. The heat issue is not a problem for the components. The power-transistors have an operating temperature of up to 250 F, but the clear plastic tube protector does not.

2012 Buick Cars
Buick has enjoyed quite the product overhaul during the past few years. With vehicles like the Enclave, Regal and Lacrosse, Buick has reinvented the brand's image. Last year the compact Verano joined the lineup that included a 250 hp turbocharged option and this year the sub-compact Encore crossover has been added.
As the oldest American car brand, dating back to 1903 the company was bough by William C. Durant in 1904 and went on to considerable success eventually becoming the largest automaker in America. Having built icons of the American auto industry like the Riviera and Park Avenue, Buick sales peaked in 1984, two years after the introduction of what is easily the brand's best known car, the Grand National.

Much is said about Los Angeles, but no one can deny that one of its highlights is the vibrant art scene. There are art walks in downtown Los Angeles and Venice every month and numerous art museums to explore. One of the highlights of taking the Metro, Los Angeles' own public transportation system, is the work of their own Art Department. Free tours are available on the first Thursday, Saturday and Sunday of every month. All tours are round-trip and last around two hours.
The Thursday tour meets at 7pm at the street level entrance to the Hollywood/Highland Metro Rail Station on Hollywood Boulevard near the intersection with Highland Ave. If you're driving to the station, parking is available at the Visitor's Center at the Hollywood/Highland shopping center for partial parking validation. The Saturday tour meets at 10am at the same location. However, the Sunday tour meets at 10am at the information booth in the historic Union Station at 900 Alameda St. in Downtown Los Angeles. Parking choices at Union Station include paid parking, lots and metered street parking.
Each tour is led by a member of the Metro Art Docent Council which consists of volunteers committed to increasing awareness of the Metro art. These tours include a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and clothing! Art Department docents will distribute date-stamped badges that allow you to ride the Metro Rail station for free that day. You can easily identify a docent by looking for a person in a bright orange vest or with a voice amplifier. Children at and above a 5th grade level are encouraged to join the Metro Art Tours.
Metro Art Department was created in 1989 based on the idea that "art creates a sense of space and engages transit riders." In just over 20 years, the Art Department has commissioned more than 300 artists to incorporate art in transportation projects all over Los Angeles County. Each artist is selected through a peer review process that includes the community and each piece was designed with a transit location in mind. Metro has received many design and artistic excellence awards for organizing "one of the most innovative public art programs in the country." An Art Guide can be downloaded here with pictures and artist information of every piece at each station.
If you are interested in having your art included in a future project, join the Metro Art Department mailing list. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to explore the art of Los Angeles for free! No reservations required to take advantage of the tour. Hope to see you there!

Center for Crisis Psychology is situated in Bergen, Norway. The centre was founded in 1988 and has from the start focused on dealing with critical situations and their impact on child and adult victims, as well as on personnel that have to deal with such situations. The centre has four main areas of activities:
- Clinical work with crisis and disaster situations both locally and internationally.
- Educational activities, i.e. lecturing to health professionals, aid workers and to non-professionals, both nationally and internationally.
- Conducting research on various aspects of stress, trauma, and bereavement.
- Emergency Preparedness Agreements to companies and organisations.
As a resource centre we have been commissioned by UN organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations in planning help and rehabilitation of war and disaster traumatised children internationally. Our staff has been engaged in work for children living in conflict- and war areas in former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Angola, Rwanda, Russia, China, Liberia, Bangladesh and other countries.
For more than 20 years our staff has been involved in research on cumulative stress and burnout in addition to developing routines for staff stress relief, and trauma management. We have conducted training and workshops for a variety of national and international organisations, including UN agencies, such as UNICEF and UNHCR. This training has been conducted in Africa, The Middle East, The Far East and in Europe.
We started our work for children in war situations in Uganda back in 1984. Since then, we have conducted research and implemented a variety of assistance programs to help children in different war areas. Based on these experiences, we have produced a series of books, book chapters, and many scientific papers. This has provided other professionals working in the field, with valuable knowledge on which to base their interventions. We have also published a series of articles on the helper's situation when dealing with stress, trauma and grief.
Our mission has been, as professionals in child psychology, stress, and crisis management, to teach target groups of professionals and managers in different countries how best to help war traumatised children, and to plan a more systematic way of caring for the well being of the often overloaded helpers.
From 2009, thanks to the Danish Egmont Foundation, we have established a bereavement centre. The centre is focusing on research on grief in children and their families, raise people's awareness of the consequence of grief, as well as clinical support to the same group.
Presently, the centre staff consist of 20 professionals, mostly clinical psychologists, but also clinicians and researchers with other backgrounds (i.e. social anthropologist, sociologists and psychiatrist). The centre is unique both in Norway and Scandinavia in its combination of clinical experience, teaching ability and research activities.

The ex-Blaugrana forward visited the first team's training session this Friday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva
Rivaldo praised Tito Vilanova: "He's a fantastic manager. Things will go well for him"
On Sunday's Clásico: "It's a complicated match, but Barça can win because they're playing at home"
Related links
Taking advantage of his five-day break from competitive play, Rivaldo decided to visit Barcelona to watch the Clásico. The ex-Blaugrana watched the first team's preparations in the run up to Sunday's important match against Real Madrid this Friday morning. At 40 years old, the Brazilian is spending the twilight of his professional career at Kabuscorp, a team that plays in the Angolan League. "Now I get to enjoy Barça on television. They are a great team and I hope they can win more titles, because they play really well," he told Barça TV and fcbarcelona.com
Praise for Vilanova
The Brazilian lauded the man at the Barça helm, Tito Vilanova: "he's a brilliant manager. Now, being Guardiola's replacement, who did a great job, he has a good opportunity. I'm sure he'll succeed, because he has a team that plays really well – they make football easy. I think things will go well for him."
On Messi, Rivaldo admitted that "I like him a lot. I like him as a person as well." He added: "I really like humble players like him. I think that all the FC Barcelona players are humble. That's why they do what they do."
"There's a great structure here"
The Brazilian was impressed by the Club's Ciutat Esportiva facilities. "All of this wasn't here when I played for Barça. It's great. I'm very pleased to see such impressive facilities. It's too bad I didn't get the chance to have anything like this or that I wasn't able to win the Champions League, but I'm very grateful to the Club," he said.
Hoping for a Barça win
On this Sunday's clash with Real Madrid, a game he'll will watch at the Camp Nou, Rivaldo said that Barça are favoured to win the three points: "It's a difficult match. Complicated. You never know what's going to happen because Madrid have a great side and they've won at the Camp Nou. But playing at home, I think Barça can win."
Rivaldo, donning the Blaugrana strip, also scored in a handful of Clásicos:

CFOs Taking More Hands-On Approach to IT Decisions
CREDIT: Dreamstime.com
With technology now playing a critical role in the success or failure of most businesses, new research shows those in charge of the purse strings at many organizations are taking a more hands-on approach with their IT departments.
A new survey from Robert Half Management Resources, an accounting and finance staffing agency, found that 44 percent of chief financial officers have become more involved in technology-related decisions over the past three years. Just 6 percent of those surveyed said they were less involved than before.
Paul McDonald, senior executive director of Robert Half Management Resources, said company leaders are increasingly viewing enhanced information technology capabilities as a way for the enterprise to achieve efficiencies and boost productivity.
"In particular, cloud computing and business intelligence are gaining more attention from CFOs, who favor their benefits in enabling greater access to company data on a more flexible and cost-effective basis," McDonald said in a prepared release.
The ties between the finance and IT departments only appear to be getting stronger. In a previous survey, CFOs cited IT systems as the area in which they were most likely to invest over the next year. The current study is based on surveys of 1,400 CFOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 20 or more employees.

After seeing late leads lost and wins frittered away last year, including 13 walkoff losses, the Mariners decided to add experience and stability to their bullpen for the 2014 season.
On Thursday, multiple outlets reported that free-agent closer Fernando Rodney had agreed to a two-year, $14 million contract with the Mariners. Baseball sources confirmed the deal pending a physical.
Rodney saved 37 games in 45 chances last season for the Tampa Bay Rays to go with a 5-4 record and a 3.34 earned-run average in 68 appearances. He struck out 82 batters in 662
3 innings. His rate of 11.07 strikeouts per nine innings was fifth-best in the American League.
But those numbers are nothing like his 2012 season when he was almost unhittable. Rodney saved 48 games in 50 opportunities for the Rays. In 742
3 innings pitched, he allowed just five earned runs for an ERA of 1.81. The command of his mid- to high-90s fastball and sinking changeup were so pinpoint he struck out 76 batters and walked only 15.

He didn't have quite that stellar command last season, causing his numbers to fall off slightly.
Still, Rodney has accumulated 172 saves in his 11-year big-league career. General manager Jack Zduriencik made it no secret he wanted to add experience to the bullpen.
The Mariners had discussions with Rodney's representatives at the winter meetings. However, the early demand of a three-year contract for around $30 million was too much. With teams less willing to spend big money for closers, it forced Rodney to lower his demands.
The addition of Rodney means that Danny Farquhar, who took over late last season, will likely go back to being a set-up man in the eighth inning. Farquhar became the closer on Aug. 3 and saved 16 of 18 games to end the season. He was a pleasant surprise, striking out 79 in 552
3 innings pitched.
Farquhar was in position to take over the closing job because Tom Wilhelmsen faltered in midseason.
Wilhelmsen came into the 2013 season as the closer after saving 29 games in 2012. He was dominant for the first part of the season, going 11 for 11 in save opportunities.
Late in May, he hit a rough patch when his command and confidence slowly dissipated. He was stripped of his closing duties in mid-June. He earned them back again briefly in July but then lost them again as his confidence and command continued to disappear. He was optioned to Class AAA Tacoma.
The Mariners used an assortment of relievers — Yoervis Medina, Carter Capps and Oliver Perez — in a closer-by-committee role before settling on Farquhar.
Since J.J. Putz was traded before the 2009 season, the Mariners have used a slew of pitchers as their main closer, including Brandon Morrow (2009), David Aardsma (2009-10), Brandon League (2011-12), Wilhelmsen (2012-13) and Farquhar (2013).
Only Aardsma had two full seasons of success in that role.

Maspalomas Holidays
Fellow travellers say Maspalomas is great for…
Situated on the southern tip of Gran Canaria, Maspalomas is a holiday resort like no other. While there are many towns offering tourist accommodation on this Canary Island, many are purpose built and do not provide you with the opportunity to mix with the locals. However, package holidays in Maspalomas are different, thanks to an ambitious development project which began in 1961. The result is a fully equipped tourist town, with hospitals, schools, sports centres, shopping centres, casinos, and a university. The range of accommodation on offer here is extensive too, from hostels and bungalows to 5 star hotels and luxury villas; many hotels offer all inclusive package holiday deals making them great value for money.
You will find yourself with plenty of company while on your holidays in Maspalomas, as it is the largest tourist destination amongst all the tourist resorts scattered across the Canary Islands. People from all over Europe head here for the excitement that this resort offers its visitors, though it particularly draws those from more northerly countries keen to soak up the sun. The nearby beach, Playa del Inglés, translated from Spanish to English literally means 'Englishman's beach.' The town itself has an upmarket feel, with tidy boulevards and smart apartment blocks laid out immaculately.
Staying in Maspalomas can be as energetic or relaxing as you like, but if you only visit one attraction during your holidays in Maspalomas, it should be the Dunas de Maspalomas. A protected nature reserve since 1897, it is home to extensive rolling sand dunes. These impressive dunes are by far the most famous landmark in the whole of Gran Canaria. Besides the sand dunes and the beach, most of the holidaymakers here seem to be drawn to Yumbo Centrum, where the majority of the town's restaurants, bars and nightclubs are located.

Yesterday was the first official work day for us. I've managed to get myself a nice flu already, thanks to the ever-persistent air condition / very hot weather outside, which is ironic since I managed to dodge every illness during the wintertime in Finland. But other than that, we've had great first work day, we visited the set department watching as the huge sets are being built, visited the studio to see as some of the sets were being finished, and had a long production meeting discussing all the smallest details of every shooting day. We have the first Australian shooting day already on Monday, so the pre here is quite short, but we've been very efficient already.

Nice to see how things are going there. I hope we´ll be allowed to see some spaceship sets.
I would LOVE to see some kind of a budget breakdown (how much you of it went for actors, how much for equipment rental, crew, locations etc). I understand if you can't provide this kind of information, but I think it would be very helpful for all indie filmmakers.

For the seventh time this season, the name of UWG pitcher Jamie Sexton, the ace of the 2013 West Georgia pitching staff, has appeared in conjunction with an award. This time, it was with the Rawlings/ABCA All-South Region Team, where Sexton was named First Team.
The award marks the fifth postseason award for Sexton this year, who led the Wolves with a 10-4 record, marking just the second time in school history that a UWG pitcher has reached double-figures in wins. The only other time on record that number has happened was in the 1974 season, when the late Rick Camp set the UWG mark with 12 victories.
"Jamie did such an outstanding job for us this year," said head coach Skip Fite. "We called on him a lot and he responded with a great outing in nearly every situation we put him in."
The sophomore from Braselton was again one of four Gulf South Conference pitchers on the All-Region team, marking the third time that has happened in this postseason. Including first and second team honorees, there were six GSC hurlers on the Rawlings/ABCA All-South Region Team.
Sexton's first two awards this season were Pitcher of the Week honors from the GSC on back-to-back weeks on March 19 and 26. He was then named First Team All-GSC just before the Gulf South Conference Tournament, and followed that with a stellar performance there, earning GSC All-Tournament honors.
He has since been named First Team All-South Region by Daktronics, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association. He will now be in the running to be named All-American by each of those organizations, which will be announced in the next two weeks.

DALLAS ?? The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum today announced the candidates for the 2006 Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's top collegiate running back. Included among the list of candidates is Alabama senior Kenneth Darby.
Darby, a native of Huntsville, opens his third season as the Tide's starter at running back Saturday, September 2, when Alabama hosts Hawai'i in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
A first-team All-SEC selection by the coaches last year, Darby is looking to become the first Tide running back in school history to record three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He owns 2,489 career rushing yards, good enough for seventh on the school's all-time career rushing charts.
Darby needs just 253 yards to move into third place and is 1,077 yards shy of breaking Alabama's all-time record held by Shaun Alexander (1996-99), who ran for 3,565 in his collegiate career.
The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum Board will select semifinalists for the award on November 15, with the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee voting to determine the finalists the following day. The Committee will vote to select a winner November 27.
The recipient of the 2006 Doak Walker Award will be announced live on ESPN on The Home Depot College Football Awards show December 7, 2006. The winner will also be honored at the Doak Walker Award Presentation Banquet in Dallas February 15, 2007.

Pity the Payrollers - America's Unsung Heros of the Fiscal Cliff.
It will be natural to sing the praises of our elected leadership after they have hammered out their deal to raise taxes in order to avert the crisis. To recall that raising taxes is ever always the solution will be just as easy as to forget to honor the unsung heroes of the fiscal cliff - the software people that maintain America's payroll systems.
Such is the lot of America's Payrollers that they often do not know what parameters to enter into their systems until after the last possible moment. They know they must make payroll - or else. So they enter the worst case scenario into their systems, generate the checks, and know all the while that less than understanding co-worker complaints await them.
Before they generate the checks they must test their system with the worst case parameters. Usually this work is done at the last minute, i.e., over the holiday season. There will be no pats on the back for this.
Unfortunately for our silent heroes this is not the end. After a few more weeks of political showmanship there will be a new deal with new tax rates and income brackets. All payroll systems will have to be modified and tested yet again to support the new parameters. Previous checks will have to be adjusted and corrected in short order. Mistakes and manual corrections will have to be made and remade. Nobody will know where they stand for months.
Eventually - perhaps by the summer - all of the trials and tribulations for our heroes of payroll will be squared away. Perhaps with the new revenue the debt ceiling debate will also be postponed to the summer. Of course no debt ceiling debate could be complete without a discussion about raising additional revenue. Such a debate might last through the next holiday season but there will be nothing to worry about. America's Payrollers will be on the job to make sure the true fundamentals of our economy are strong.
This January when we all regard our paystubs (cliffstubs?) and smell that initial smell of the Austerity Bomb let us remember to not hold America's Payrollers in low regard. Let us instead consider their plight as it is a side effect of our political stalemate. It is a good bet that next holiday season America's Payrollers will be on tax parameter watch (again).
Therefore America please drink a New Years toast to your Payrollers. May their compiles always work. May their production runs not have to be redone.
Thanks Zerohedge!

King George is looking better every day.
King George III or King GW Bush? I think if the Framers knew we would end up with Dear Mullah - they never would have bothered.
Or Florida booted from the union after throwing the national in 2000.
Not a peep...
There is no W-4 for 2013 yet. Tipically you give that form to your employees at the end of the year, so they are able to make withholidng allowances adjustments for the next year.
At least they have a job.
And it's called a computer spreadsheet; type in a couple formulas for each possibility and you're done. "Check's" (try forced direct deposit to a TBTF bank) and "taxes" (tribute to the Crown) done by the computer in 30 seconds.
This isn't 1942 for payrollers or politicians or anyone else; it's France 1788 but with technology and more people.
No, it's 1916. Just before Lenin takes his train ride.
But everyone is being told that it's the big bad capitalists who are to blame, by a media who bought Lenin his ticket.
OFF TOPIC: This just in: Georgia county runs out of food stamps! 'Takers' waste no time with complaints:
Zero: Not that it ain't shameful, but that was Oct 2011.
'Angel' having 15 children on welfare and her boyfriend done gon to prison. She angry at shocial workers...need mo money...they owe it to her.
this is the top comment on that video::
Someone needs to take this bitch the fuck out. Then they need to find her mother and her father and take them the fuck out. Then they need to find all of her hundreds of immediate? family members and take them the fuck out. Like we take out the mother fucking trash. That bitch is a stupid fucking whore and I bet the illiterate fucking nasty ass cunt can't even read this. Fucking entitled fucking bitch. I'm an all-the-way Obama supporting far left liberal and I can't stand your nasty ass. "
The stereo type democrat I thought loved angel's entitlements?
The worst thing (by far) is that there are now 15 lifelong welfare addicts - 16 if you count "mom", 19 if you count the three "fathers". The money spent on this woman and her family alone - rent, food, clothes, court, prison, child care - is astounding.
Pity seniors and pensioners who have their benefits linking to a CPI- COLA. They got almost zero for the past 4 years and only 1.6% increase this year. I agree fed employers desrve a raise.....linked to the CPI just like the COLA for evryone else....so be generous and give them a 1.6% pay raise this year.
Yes, and the seniors who saved and were responsible and now are being punished with a generational loss in value of their savings invested in "free markets" (banker casino) and NIRP and ZIRP via a corrupt FED bent on bleeding them out while putting their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren into debt slavery.
All hail the Imperial Senate, the Emperor, and the Legions!
All hail the Kleptoligarchy!l
I see this when I go grocery shopping with seniors that have no EBT/WIC credit cards like O voters. They spend a lot time picking out a 8 or less items in their cart. Meanwhile illegals or ObamaPhone holders have two shopping carts loaded with crap.
Someone mentioned Krugman today and how I should just ignore him. No - he is a paid propagandist supporting this.
In watching old and young people having their futures destroyed by these liars - Krugman should be tar and feathered or castrated.
Freddie, this happened last week. Not only must I (lifelong saver) witness folks whipping out their EBT card as if it was VISA, I see the other side. We live in an affluent area but with layoffs and the rise in food prices, everyone is squeezed. Xmas eve, a woman was telling her children they could get eggs or milk but not both. She had cash in her hand. I made up some ridiculous tale - "I was the Xmas shopper, etc" and handed her $20. You'd have thought it was a million. I still can't get over it - milk or eggs!!!! The first and last rule of economics - you gotta eat.
Its because it was a million! Straight to the lottery counter to play with leftovers.
Rule 1, never use cash - even at Christmas. Buy the milk and eggs but never give cash.
For the rest of the suckers on ZH, you will see this checkout tactic more and more. Insert a couple child props and people shut off their brains and feed the beast by the beggar's con.
I know, it makes you feel like a central banker for a moment. Do yourselves a favor if you want to be charitable, donate to an organization that can feed many as opposed to a single family. Pantrys stretch much farther than broken family X.
Besides most grocers donate the perishables to the pantry and raise your prices anyway, making us all pay twice n the Socialist States.
I was grocery shopping just before Christmas and ran into similar situation, but the woman was at the check out line. I did cover the shortage, but that is not the point as you so eloquently stated, "The first rule of economics-you gotta eat."
Bullshit. The first rule of economics is there is no shortage, only the con from those who "can't count" -- can't count to what they actually have.
It's a good bet that soon after the Fiscal Cliff happens, probably by mid year, those payrollers will have a lot less employees on their books to make payroll for. I don't know about anyone else, but I am cutting back big time when my checks start getting smaller. And if the entire country repsonds in kind, there are going to be a lot of companies doing a lot less business this year.
Austerity does not just hurt the little guy. The little guy passes the buck up the ladder. Rent, food and energy, nothing else. And as little of it as you can get away with.
Wage income is more stable than non wage income.
Austerity hurts high income people proportionately more, but they obviously have more resources to deal with it.
I dont spend shit now. Except guns, hookers, and other basic necessities.
Lol. I am serious.
I can pay 500 for a cute amateur 20 something hooker who is so trusting she doesnt require a condom ( hence my preference for amateurs) or I can date a middle aged lady for free.
Try a Craigslist ad looking for a sugarbabe salary negotiable if you want to play too.
All the girls at the tity bar have stinky crotches. The skank disease.
Its worth 200 more and a little effort to get an amateur
Hey Dude a little too much info or put it in the third person. i.e. my friends boat tipped over with his AR and his bullion.
I can relate to not spending shit right now and only on PMags and ammo if any can be found.
Just because I worked harder and saved - I prefer not to exploit desparate people. In addition, I would not brag about it in a PUBIC forum.
I never did that shit with women when I was younger either. I guess some guys can only score by being manipulative. Life is getting harder for almost everyone and it is not pretty at all.
you're overpaying for whoors-the girls at the local junior college will act get freaky for a hot meal and a tank of gas
End game is here.....
I wanted to buy a few more supplies but unfortunately tomorrow will be to late.....
Internet comes down at about 4:00AM and from there your on your own boyz.....
"Internet comes down at about 4:00AM"
Sweet. I wanted a 4-day weekend. No Internet, no remote. Hosted LoB software is someone elses contract. Heh heh.
Sounds like fun, but I don't think the CEO (my wife) will approve that.
Who pays for sex? Sick fucks.
And I could be a lot more politically incorrect and much more crude than that but I will leave it at that.
Everybody-if you don't think you're paying, you're an idiot.

I currently have a dirt cheap cell phone service I got through work. It is SPRINT PCS and it is $7.50 per month. Each "peak" minute, 7AM to 7PM is 25 cents and off peak is 10 cents. It has all the usual features, voice mail, etc. I have two lines and between my wife and I we rarerly paid more than $25 per month.
Since my daughter started driving she coopted my wife's phone and uses it quite bit. Out bills have been running $50 a month and up. So, we are in the market for a new plan.
The Sprint PCS doesn't work in my house, and that is a major drawback.
So, we are looking at, Verizon, AT&T and Cingular. Verizon is the most expensive at over $70 per month for three lines and AT&T and Cingular are about the same, $60 per month for more minutes (400 versus 600).
The question is who has any of these three and what do you think about the service?

Hill rallies to 18th at Phoenix
Timmy Hill continued his streak of improvement as he returns to tracks from earlier in the season.
In the spring, Hill finished 28th in his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut and his return was a pickup of 10 positions with a 18th place finish.
"We had a great handling car all weekend. Kinda messed up the qualifying run but we knew we had a great car for the race," stated Hill.
Hill marched into the top 30 in the first ten laps and continued a forward march. With just 70 laps remaining, Hill lost power steering and was forced to muscle the car to a top twenty.
"That was a chore!" stated Hill. "I work out every day in anticipation of days like this and it paid off. The guys worked so hard and as a team we came through."
Hill and the Poynt team now head to Homestead, the season finale with a lot on their minds. Rookie of the Year.
"We have done everything we can and now it is pretty much up to a vote. Did we do enough? I believe so but I don't get to vote," Hill laughed.
NASCAR will hold a 30 point vote to determine the winner of the NASCAR Nationwide Sunoco Rookie of the Year, based off performance, sportsmanship and professionalism.
"We have had the lead for 27 weeks. We always try to do more than our competitors just not rookies but all of NASCAR by the way we carry ourselves and how we interact with the fans. If we still don't win the committee's vote I know we have won the fans vote every time we head into the stands. Sometimes that's more important, but that award would cap off a very tough year that our organization has went through."

Owners' love of Apple not shared by Wall Street
While Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) owners might love their devices, Wall Street does not love Apple's stock, at least based on the stock's drop following the posting of record quarterly revenues and profits.
On Wednesday after the stock market closed, Apple reported record revenues of $54.5 billion and a record new profit of $13.1 billion for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2013. This compares with revenue of $46.3 billion and net profit of $13.1 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Apple sold a record 47.8 million iPhones in the quarter, compared to 37 million in the year-ago quarter, and a record 22.9 million iPads during the quarter, compared to 15.4 million in the year-ago quarter.
These financial results hardly suggest a company in trouble. Yet, its stock price nosedived from $514 per share at the market close on Wednesday to around $450 at the close of the market on Thursday.
In addition, the results prompted at least 14 brokerages to cut their price target on the stock by $142 on average, according to a report by CNBC.
So what gives?
Apparently, despite the record revenues and income, Apple failed to meet Wall Street's revenue forecasts.
"The company faces a much more difficult business landscape, the competition is escalating and that's going to challenge profitability over the next couple of years," Douglas Kass, president of Seabreeze Partners, told CNBC.
Kass compared Apple today to Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) in the late 1990s, when its explosive growth cooled. "They're both maturing, large cash flow stories. In the late '80s, early '90s, Microsoft expectations were elevated similar to what Apple was, let's say, in the middle of 2012," he said. Kass expects Apple's stock price to stay below $500 "as long as the eye can see."
Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA, agreed. Lamba told Bloomberg that Apple has become a "value stock" like AT&T (NYSE: T) and IBM (NYSE: IBM). "This is a big shift in the company's position from a year ago. The growth has slowed down much faster than we anticipated," he said.
Certainly, record revenues and profits are not bad for financial results. Apple will no doubt continue to churn out popular and innovative products, even if the company is no longer the darling of Wall Street.

In what could end up as the biggest day of releases in 2013, Tuesday, June 18 will see the official drops of some of the year's most anticipated albums.

My take is that this PSA is concerning stoplights, if so, though I will stop, i don't wait very long for proven "dead reds."
They're just trolling.

This would never fly in the USA because someone is sure to call it offensive. But I really like it. If they're seeing a pattern of accidents where cyclists are running red lights, then it's an appropriate, on point ad. Another example of how British adverts are so much better than those in the USA.

Same goes for everybody. This is an age-old topic because even the written laws and regulations are vague. Is a cyclist more a motorist (must obey all taffic laws) or more a pedestrian (everybody yields to them). I've seen motorists run stop signs and red lights many times. Runners seldom stop for anything unless in urban areas where traffic is a constant. I am a ride leader with a large local cycling organization and my rule of thumb is... if there is a motorist anywhere is site, no matter the distance, stop at the stop sign or red light. If there is no motorist within site in any direction, go like hell. Let the wildlife animals turn in our license plates

Motorists... share the road, cyclists may at times use the full lane, learn the bloody difference.
Motorists... speed limits... obey them.
Motorists... save fuel, save the air, get some exercise... get a bike.
shall I go on?
This is cycling advocacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d1gaRQ2ZM
So is this: http://www.railstotrails.org/resourc...A_20081020.pdf
I've seen cyclists and pedestrians hit by cars when crossing against a signal, fortunately none resulted in serious injury, and considering how much time I'm on the road as a commercial driver I'd hardly call it a "pattern", but I'm sure they all thought it was safe too......
I won't say I never do it, (when cycling or walking) but I see too many reasons to not make it a habit like some do.
Like it or not... most motorist really don't appreciate bicycles on the roadways.
Although thin-skinned cyclists may not see the humor in the videos.... they are funny. However there is a sadness in the topic. Motorist have absolutely NOTHING to lose by not wanting to share the roads with bicycles.
If cyclists want to be regarded and regulated as transportation... which would include the tags, fees, license's, and insurance that motorist pay. They ought to move in that direction. Otherwise... the handwriting is on the wall. Voters are going to push bicycles on to paths.... eventually.

However, Dave is correct to be concerned, even worried, that American motordom will manage to "push bicycles onto paths". That's just got closer with the issuance of a Fed DOT memorandum about special traffic-signal faces to control bicycle traffic. As you can see from the diagram about how to limit cyclist left turn traffic by using a bicycle left turn signal face, this assumes that all bicycle traffic is approaching in the bike lane and none in a general traffic lane. In short, there is a designers' assumption that all cyclists should be treated as being traffic incompetents. This shows that lawful, competent cyclists have to work up, now, soon, quickly, a program for protecting the rights of cyclists to operate, when they choose, according to the rules for drivers of vehicles by working to repeal the traffic laws (far to the right, mandatory bikelane, etc) that attempt to prohibit cyclists from obeying the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles.
Bicyclists, on the other hand, very rarely damage other people's property and injure other people.
(Keep in mind that there is no requirenent to have insurance to cover damage to property you own.)
I may have given the wrong impression.
I don't wish to see bicycles regulated the same as cars. But if bicycles aren't considered "the same as" motorized transportation there will be no reason to claim a right to use the roads at some future date.
I actually feel pretty sure that our human powered machines will be around for another hundred years. And... that's several more decades than I need to worry about. But I do expect to see bicycles regulated more and more... ultimately limited to certain areas like the bicycle paths and/or lanes.
I have no issues with that PSA.. we should learn the bloody difference.
Right now... America has 39 million cyclists. That's down from [what?] three years ago when it was estimated America had 43 million cyclists. Most of the cyclists I see are old men... like myself. I would guess... given enough time.. we will die off.
I wish you the very best with increasing the number of cyclists.... as well as cyclists that use bicycles for transportation. I think the areas that have increased bicycle usage have done so.... by building infrastructure.... or bicycle paths. So.... ether way... we're being pushed off the streets.
So I remembered seeing something about this online a couple of days ago and forgot that I was supposed to be upset about it. I watched the "PSA" and laughed my ass off. It's funny. It's Top Gear, and a typical setup where they say, "We went to help film a car chase," or whatever else and then hilarity ensues when they are purposefully awful at it. Anyone that is upset by this has no sense of humor.
Get a clue, motorists have to pay fees, tags, licenses due to the far greater damage they can cause with their motor vehicle, and the handwriting is on the wall with the steady decline in driving that more of the roadway is going to go towards non motorized road use.If cyclists want to be regarded and regulated as transportation... which would include the tags, fees, license's, and insurance that motorist pay. They ought to move in that direction. Otherwise... the handwriting is on the wall. Voters are going to push bicycles on to paths.... eventually.

In doing so, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health of or residents and make it comfortable for people of all abilities from our 5-year old kids to our 80-year old grandparents to move around.
The Bicycle Master Plan is one tool helping us to reach this vision. Over the last four years, SDOT has invested nearly $36 million in bicycle improvements guided by the plan. The improvements were funded through the voter-approved Bridging the Gap transportation levy and include 129 miles of bike lanes and sharrows, 98 miles of signed routes and 2,230 bike parking spaces. This year the Bicycle Master Plan is being updated. As the City works toward its goal of tripling the number of cyclists, we will consider how to expand our implementation of bicycle facilities that focus on short, neighborhood trips and improvements that appeal to a wide variety of bicycle riders. Please get involved!"
I've only seen a handful of bike signals, and they all make the intersection worse for cyclists.
The thing with tools like bike signals is that they are only as good as the person using them. Sharrows are lovely, but usually end up to the right of a very narrow lane because the person who designed the installment doesn't understand cycling and are more concerned with bare minimum approaches that do not disrupt the normal car traffic patterns.
