US Sec Mary Peters inspired Puerto Rico to ponder cashless (FOLLOWUP)
Mary Peters call at a recent IBTTA industry conference for "making toll booths obsolete" got attention from ACT the Puerto Rico state toll authority. A senior ACT official told us this morning the authority's decision to study cashless or all-electronic tolling was prompted by Peters' remarks. The official told us that Ruben Hernandez Gregorat, the incoming secretary of transportation of Gov Luis Fortuno was briefed on toll system issues last week and that no decisions have been made.
"The secretary will make this decision. Our job is to put numbers together for various options - cashless, keeping some cash, keeping more cash," the official said.
ACT should have estimates of the costs of different options in a few weeks.
eTrans Group are in-house toll system consultants to ACT.
Modernization of the cash toll system would have to be rebid, the official said, because local courts have ruled procedural mistakes were made in the first procurement last year in which United Toll Systems was considered the best value proposal by ACT. TransCore successfully appealed the choice of UTS.
In Lane Replenishment key to improvement
The ACT official told us they see In Lane Replenishment (ILR) of sticker tags as key to improving performance, whether they go cashless or keep some cash collection. They presently have 820k sticker tags in use and these do 40% of transactions. They aim to raise the number to 2 million and get electronic tolling to 75 or 80% of total transactions.
With ILR including in-lane sale of sticker tags they have managed to increase sales about four-fold - to 20k/month. In the three years of sticker tags they have sold these mainly at Texaco gasoline stations and pharmacies. One cash lane is now being dedicated to ILR at each of the major toll plazas. At the largest plaza, Buchanan, they are adding a second ILR lane.
The ILR lanes are presently dealing with a maximum 80 customers an hour since average time at the window is 45 seconds. In the first week or so the throughput was much lower - a maximum of 30 an hour or average of 2 minutes per customer.
"Early on the customers had lots of questions to ask, so it was slow," the official told us.
If the secretary decides to go with cashless the drive to increase tag use to 70% or beyond will greatly help the transition, the official said. If he decides to retain some cash collection the reduced reliance on cash will also be helpful to reducing costs and increasing throughput.
The new Puerto Rico secretary of transportation is Rubén Hernández Gregorat, an engineer new to government. He was appointed only recently by the new Governor Luis Fortuno, 48, a conservative who favors full statehood for Puerto Rico, and who campaigned in the recent election on lean government and lower taxes.
Competition or negotiation?
Another decision for the Hernandez - if he decides to go cashless - will be whether to negotiate the work with TransCore, or open the project to competitive proposals. TransCore installed and maintains the existing electronic toll system.
see earlier report which this updates http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/3940
CORRECTION: we wrote in the earlier report that Puerto Rico has over 200 toll lanes. That number is out of date. They now have around 150 toll lanes in use, and less queueing than when they had over 200 lanes - substantially improved productivity.

Stars Who Came Out in 2014 (PHOTOS)
Coming out is hard, whether it's to your parents, your school, and your friends ;— or, like these celebs, ;to your fans, your critics, and the whole world! It's a super-brave act, even in 2014.
The Stonewall Riots, a landmark in American history for the LGBT community, happened nearly 45 years ago on June 28, 1969, and are considered by many to be the birth of the modern LGBT movement. In honor of Pride Month, let's take a look at who emerged from the closet this year.
Last year saw many celebs emerge from the closet, from Jodie Foster to Darren Young to Wentworth Miller — and all across the LGBTQ spectrum. This year is already gaining a ton of momentum for celebs living out of the closet. We saw some new milestones come to fruition: Djuan Trent became the first-ever Miss America contestant to come out, and Michael Sam is poised to be the first openly gay player in the NFL! Plus, Neon Trees ;frontman proudly declared that he's both gay and ;a Mormon.
Who else came out this year? Click through the gallery for more details! We hope that the more public figures live openly, the more opportunities there are for others to come out safely and happily.

Well I've been thinking about doing the Southern Tier and I'm considering starting from San Diego and heading East to Florida. Plan would be to start later this month.
Is this reasonable or would I be better off starting in FL and working my way West? I realize the days are shorter of course. I'm used to riding in the rain so I can endure if I have to. I'm more worried about snow/ice than anything.
Thought I might spend some extra time Touring around the warmer parts of AZ before continuing East. Figure it will let it warm up a little more and also I have never been in AZ other than the airport.
My idea is that when I arrive in FL I would then turn North and hope that the weather would be decent up the East Coast. If time and funds are holding out I'd like to connect with the Northern Tier and connecting my previous Northern Tier ride.... It would be early to mid April to start that portion I'm guessing. Plan on covering 70 miles a day. That just seems to be a decent pace and easy for me to do day after day.
Reason for the timing is that.... Well I'm just finishing up a contract and as soon as I pick up another one I will be busy for months... and then before I know it summer will be over... So.... I figure the time to go is now.
What do you think? Not worth leaving this early? Weather be so sucky as to make it not worth it? Just do Southern California and AZ? Ideas are welcome. Imagine it's your trip and what would you do.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

This is referenced in Smith's letter to Breckinridge, dated May 11, 1864
Staunton, Va., May 10, 1864
Maj. Gen. F.H. Smith, Supt. VMISigel is moving up the Valley--was at Strasburg last night. I cannot tell you whether this is his destination. I would be glad to have your assistance at once with the cadets and the section of artillery. Bring all the forage and rations you can. Have the reserves of Rockbridge ready, and let them send at once for arms and ammunition, if they cannot be supplied at Lexington.Yours respectfully, John C. Breckinridge, Major General.

This guy had lost it and was a danger to society but, to have him trapped and just set the building on fire after a few hours with police shouting things like "Burn this motherfocker" is not right.
I understand the emotion but, even though his actions were horrific; he deserved more as a human being let alone a US citizen!
IF, these accounts are true and Im not saying they are!

Jackson, Miss. The woman considered the mastermind behind the kidnapping of a 6-year-old Kemper County child will likely be in prison for a long time.
Jessie Mae Pollard was sentenced Tuesday in Jackson to 25 years in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, for conspiracy to commit kidnapping, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice.
Pollard was convicted in November 2013 for planning and enlisting the help of others to take a 6-year-old relative from school and then use the child as a bargaining chip in a dispute with the child's mother. The child was dropped off, unharmed, on a rural road a day after she was taken.
Pollard was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,400.
Five other people who participated in the scheme in some way were sentenced in January to terms ranging from eight months to a year. Pollard's son, former University of Alabama basketball player Devonta Pollard, was allowed to avoid prosecution if he stays out of trouble for two years. He testified at his mother's trial.

The replacement refs did come, so did the snow, fixtures done then Dougie Mac did go and who cares we are better off without that HO.
I decided to open with a little rhyme in the festive spirit but then a referee got involved and I was yellow carded but after some consultation with his linesman I got a 3 match ban and also I have to spend the rest of the football season sat in a cesspit with the loose women and Wagner from the X factor waxing each others un-mentionables.
(For those of you who don't know who Wagner is think Lorenzo Amoruso and a mangy Afghan hounds offspring and you will be pretty close to what Wagner is. If you don't know who the loose women are think of the quadruple outcome of a swingers party between the spice girls, the ninja turtles and lorenzo amoruso)
Before the exclusive news I have to reveal I found this brilliant piece of news in the BBC football gossip column: –
"Rangers forward Kyle Lafferty has apologised to manager Walter Smith after breaking his hand while clowning around coming off the team bus. (Sun)"
Does anybody think they left out the word "on" after the word "coming" on purpose in the above? It makes you wonder what predicament they had got in to lead to such a hand break, five finger shuffle marathon? or further more were they playing twister on the team bus with the winner getting a go on Davie Weirs zimmer frame? Who knows?
In the wake of the great news that Dougie McDonald has hung up his whistle I can sensationally reveal an image of what the future holds for Celtics defensive and offensive tactics on free-kicks and corners.
This picture was revealed on the great Mark Crosas' twitter to my utter amazement: –
As you can see this is obviously the 'parachute break glass in case of emergency set piece' method of how to get a clear head on the ball. Ironically its something we havn't done for a wee while. A solid headed goal!
Notice the typical exquisite Catalonian balance of Crosas on Big Glenns shoulders, beautiful some might say. If I was Lenny I would be saying jeepers creepers Glenn don't drop wee Mark now he will be out for months falling from that skyscraper height of your shoulders.
Since I have seen this image I hoped we would sign the big fella on the right in January to keep the defence fresh, but I believe due to weather conditions in Scotland in the summer, he would never come to Celtic 'cos Glasgow is too f**k!ng cold for him. Regards to Mr Crosas for being a sport and letting us see his massive snowman.
Next stop Aberdeen where we might get a goal from a set piece?
At this point in the proceedings I now pass the wordily 'microphone' for you to shout your hearts out to whatever content.
• Aye
• Aye
• Naw
• 1-1
Views: No longer feel good about winning the league (or anything else come to that this season).
If Barca are the Orgasm Team, I just can't bring myself to write what we have become…
Premature ejaculation team? More like "the teenage lad who has discovered his groin sausage can stand on end for the first time" team, a lot to learn and practise will make perfect, eventually.
I would take a one 'nil-er' right now if we get to play the dons. We all would like to smash the dons comfortably, but even though I am a positive person, in this case I cant see it being comfortable at all. Ki to score a winning freekick, one nil win.
Game off for the Frigid Team
(and awe the others tae, including Wattie's Anti-Orgasm XI)
what odds would you give me for dougie mcdonald being named the next dons manager?
…and randomly bert konterman as transfer representative, his first signing quite obviously will be fernando (p)rickson.
Rangers weakened badly by injuries with a couple of tough games coming. Then it snows unexpectedly. Whats God playing at? Should he be sacked? Celtic seek clarification.
Forget Lenny and the team, they are what they are, you get what you pay for. The board lack committment to the fans. A golden opportunity to rewrite the record books has been passed up in the past decade. A two horse race, with one of the two financially lame, and they still wont put their grasping hands in their pockets.
To the fans Celtic represent tradition, achievement against the odds and a focal point for resistance to oppression (percieved or otherwise).
To the board the club is a source of income which provides a high profile to a handful of mega millionairs. Say what you like about Murray, he put his own money where his mouth is and under Advocaat provided a team which played top class football.
Aim at the legitimate targets.
Correct LOTW. At the time Murray had about half as much money as Desmond. Murray spent his in an attempt to achieve European glory and failed. They did however dominate utterly in the domestic game whilst playing great football. Desmond and his cronies are more intent in taking money out of the club than investing. And this at a time when Rangers are really vulnerable. Remember the £20,000,000. Desmond crowed about when O'Neil took Celtic to the UEFA cup final. Where did that go? Remember the seasons end profits and the gloating about that because of the Rangers debt. Well the shareholders got dividends, the fans got empty pockets and Rangers walked away with the trophies. How do they get the fans back onside?
Appoint a fans favourite, again, at cut price whilst shouting cheats and conspiracies at every setback. The gullible got onside whilst the club became a laughing stock. The trouble is that, unless a genuine fan comes along with serious money, then nothing will change.

Binocular Photometric Stereo Acquisition and Reconstruction for 3D Talking Head Applications
(Interspeech 2013 submission)
Chaoyang Wang, Lijuan Wang, Yasuyuki Matsushita, Frank K. Soong
In order to render a high quality, versatile 3D talking head, a stable, high frame rate AV data acquisition system is constructed. It can capture 3D position, surface orientation and albedo texture of the talking head video images along with the corresponding speech signals. The system consists of a computer controlled LED lighting subsystem; high speed stereo cameras; a microphone; and a computer for synchronous recording of multi-stream AV data. The visual image data collected is processed through a binocular photometric stereo 3D reconstruction pipeline. The pipeline automatically segments out the face; computes the depth map with binocular stereo; computes the normal map with photometric stereo; generates albedo texture; and finally constructs a high-detailed 3d model with depth and normal cues as constraints. By using the data collected with the built system, we can construct a high quality, dynamic 3D talking head model sequences to faithfully represent the actual 3D talking head, synchronized with the subject's uttered speech. Furthermore, with enough thus collected 3D talking head sequence data, statistical talking head Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) can be trained to render high quality, 3D talking head for any given text or speech input.

Unrest, uprising, etc. are such paltry words to describe what is going on in Libya and the region at large. This is a full scale revolution of the people overthrowing oppressive regimes and paying with their blood and lives for the prospect of a better future.
We have no interest in making a grand political statement other than to say we wish the people speed and safety as they pursue their right to self-govern.
As these events may pertain to .ly web domains and specifically our service page.ly, here are a few points of interest:
- Our entire service which includes the system, servers, DNS, email etc. does not utilize the page.ly domain at all. We have abstracted the service out from day 1 to use .com domains like hostedclientservice.com (nameservers) and even pagely.com, which we of course own. In the event .ly domains were gone tomorrow there would be zero impact on service for our customers, or our future business operations.
- In the event .ly domains were somehow blocked or taken offline in Libya, there are nameservers located in other countries, including the US that would continue to resolve the .ly domains for some weeks after.
- The only possible effect is on our own website branding/position. We of course control pagely.com and can at any moment direct all web requests for page.ly to pagely.com. However we will only do this as a last resort when given no other options.
Consider our choice to stick with .ly a show of support for the people. Whether or not anyone approves of the outgoing or future government of Libya, their TLD infrastructure provides real jobs for real people. There are real businesses that will need the continued support of international based domain holders to build their economy from what looks like will be a painful new-beginning.
If interested here is a post on my thoughts regarding the last time .ly domains were in the news.

I took my twin boys age six. Although I thought it was better suited for preschoolers, the boys enjoyed the show more than I expected. They even requested we get the CD before leaving. It's wonderful to see them home singing and dancing to the songs. Many songs have become instant favorites; f&g and the up&down song.

The show was fun. HOWEVER, the music was so horribly loud that my grandchildren and I left with deafened ears. It should be a reasonable expectation that childrens shows will not cause damage, and I believe that the sound level at the show was...continued
Pasta! A Pop Ups Puppet Musical will take you on a tasty and epic journey that gets you home in time for dinner. Join the Pop Ups (veteran kids' rockers Jacob Stein & Jason Rabinowitz) for an educational and comic musical adventure through the magical land of Brooklyn. With the audience's help, The Pop Ups search for the ingredients to make the best (locally sourced, of course) pasta sauce ever.
Prepare for a high-energy live act involving live-drawing, dance-beats, colorful puppets, animals, trains, guitar riffs, mermaids, gardens, instruments, vegetables, sparkles and rocking interactive dance numbers that catapult the audience out of their seats.
About the Ticket Supplier: SoHo Playhouse
Under the new management of Darren Lee Cole and Faith Mulvihill, the newly renovated SoHo Playhouse continues to serve the downtown theater community as an historic 199 seat Off Broadway venue. The Huron Club below is an intimate 55 seat cabaret and bar steeped in the history of Old New York.
The SoHo Playhouse stands on land that was once Richmond Hill, a colonial mansion that served as headquarters for General George Washington and later home to Aaron Burr. Purchased from Burr in 1817, the land was then developed into federalist-style row houses by fur magnate John Jacob Astor.
15 Van Dam Street, was designated at the Huron Club, a popular meeting house and night club for the Democratic Party. The turn of the century brought the Tammany Hall machine to the Huron Club. Prominent regulars included "Battery" Dan Finn and the infamous Jimmy "Beau James" Walker, known as "The night Mayor" due to his predilection for jazz clubs and chorus girls.
The main floor was transformed into a theater in the 1920's, and in the 60's operated as the Village South, home to Playwrights Unit Workshop under the direction of Edward Albee. It was on this stage that Mr. Albee produced many first works of Terrance Mcnally, John Guare, Lanford Wilson, Sam Shephard, AR Gurney and Leroi Jones.

Young stars given a chance to shine as King's Lynn Town prepare to welcome Stamford for League Cup clash
10:00 20 November 2012
Archant © 2012
King's Lynn Town fans will be given a glimpse into the future tonight when Gary Setchell bloods some of the club's highly-rated youngsters in the League Cup.
The Linnets welcome Stamford to The Walks for this evening's first round clash and are set to make a host of changes to the side that lost 2-1 at home to Belper Town on Saturday.
With injuries and impending suspensions affecting Setchell's men the Lynn boss admits he has to take the opportunity to look at some of the stars of tomorrow, as well as giving valuable playing time to his squad players.
Reserve-team starlets Jack Johnson, Tom McLeish, Chris Ward, Luis Duarte, Luke Biles and Shaun Stocker – who has recently been on trial at Peterborough United – are just six players likely to get their chance to shine as Lynn take a break from league and FA Trophy action.
Setchell said: "With the league the reserves play in I don't get chance to cast an eye over the young lads as much as I'd like.
"They've done well for Joff (Jonathan Hawes, reserve team boss) and he believes some of the boys have got a good chance in terms of progressing with the club. Tonight is a good chance to have a look at them in a match against a very good side.
"It's not all about the result. We want to win the game but three things matter. One; getting a look at the youngsters, two; getting rest into players before Saturday's game at Worksop in the Trophy and three; getting the players who haven't been playing 90 minutes."
First-teamers Danny Gay, Ross Watson, Phil Gulliver, Ryan Fryatt, Jordan Yong, Steve Spriggs, Richard Bunting, Dan Quigley and Russell Dunkly are unlikely to start. Injured duo Danny Beaumont and Sam Mulready will also not feature.
And even if Lynn win this evening, Setchell insists he will not change tact for future rounds - however far his team get in the competition.
The Lynn boss said: "It's all about the bigger picture. We want to win every game but we will use youngsters in the League Cup. We could face some long away trips if we get through so the players we use in the early rounds I will keep picking as long as we're in the competition.
"I don't expect the young lads to go out there and absolutely rip it up but sometimes they can go in and surprise you. It'll be a great experience for all of the young lads to play for the first team. The competition is a great chance to blood the youngsters and get minutes into players who need them."
Tickets for tonight's match will cost adults £8, rather than the usual £10. Concessions will have to pay £6, children aged 12-16 £3, while youngsters aged 11 and under can get in for free.

This was posted on the ArkansasCarry.com site, a very interesting read on how the other side sees gun control after Heller. They even seem to say gun control won't work, but it still needs to be done.
Posted arkansascarry.com 04/22/09
Here is a 55 page study of how gun-control and confiscation can happen after the Heller decision. "People, the Supreme Court decision of last summer should be considered a cornerstone from which we can build, not the end result." This paper is chillling, because it is laying out the way to outlaw all firearms.

Halvorson, Hans (2000) On the nature of continuous physical quantities in classical and quantum mechanics. [Preprint]
Download (222Kb) | Preview
Within the traditional Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to describe a particle as possessing, simultaneously, a sharp position value and a sharp momentum value. Is it possible, though, to describe a particle as possessing just a sharp position value (or just a sharp momentum value)? Some, such as Paul Teller, have thought that the answer to this question is No -- that the status of individual continuous quantities is very different in quantum mechanics than in classical mechanics. On the contrary, I shall show that the same subtle issues arise with respect to continuous quantities in classical and quantum mechanics; and that it is, after all, possible to describe a particle as possessing a sharp position value without altering the standard formalism of quantum mechanics.

Discussion in 'PlanetSide 2 Gameplay Discussion' started by Kitlo, Jan 12, 2013.
Woohoo! NC gets the north of Indar!!
Warpgate rotating will help things until proper continental warfare is in.
Sorry but i dont see a point, but whatever let it be soo
Isn't that the opposite direction from last time? I guess VS will never get the northern gate
THE ANOYING VS will spam as much as they can since they are going to get the techplant at 2 feet away from the TR warpgate on amerish so basically it will be kinda like indar atm a magriders spam fest is the way it will be after this rotation on amerish
GOOD JOB SOE brillant brillant
Lol go read the post again. Also NC have had Esamir and Amerish for about 2 weeks on Mattherson so you dont know what youre talking about by thinking the devs are not favoring you.
Will be intersting to see on Waterson as the TR will get the WG on Indar they've been moaning about since release. What will happen if the Vanu kick them out of there?
Change of pace? Test if faction dominance on particular maps is due to map placement or faction item / member superiority? Change the status-quo so people get to experience parts of the map they might otherwise not have fought on/in?
Seem like decent reasons to me.
And on Waterson NC hasn't held squat for very long at all (Usually VS has Indar and TR has Amerish and Esamir), so maybe your server's situation isn't entirely (or remotely?) based upon developer favoritism and includes faction population / outfit or member quality?
lol only a NC would be happy about having the north of indar. welcome to the flat barren farm land.
So Indar warpgates will go back to the Beta setup? awesomesauce!
SW indar is a ***** to fly scythes in with all those trees, you're probelm now TR
It will be interesting to see how Magriders fair getting out of those canyons on Indar. The NC front-side resiliency to their tanks seems like it would be better suited for pushes out of those canyons than hover tanks. I remember seeing what happened with magriders when we tried to push into Broken Arch.
Maybe the TR will start using emplacement more!
However all those trees and flat terrain made a natural hunting ground for Magriders to push out from. Pros and Cons, I suppose.
That and supposedly the Scythe is the best fighter to thread the needle of tree paths with. Mosquitos are thinner, but have a bit more inertial drift.
Incidently this means Vanu will lose the dominant spot on Esamir, but gain the dominant spot on Amerish
This is great news! can't wait till the end of the month.
Scythes may be flat and mobile, but they also have huge circular hooks on the front of them,
They are tree magnets.
says the tr lol. No one cares about amerish, no one plays on it.
Yes, it's true. While it is easier to dodge trees, those hooks assure a quick death if you hit one.
They are great for righting flipped liberators in the warpgate, however! Scythe AAA hooks are OP!
Separate names with a comma.

If you add a mailbox as IMAP in Outlook with the standard send/receive settings you may see a pop-up stating: "Your IMAP server closed the connection. This can occur if you leave the connection idle for too long." Usually this occurs if multiple users are accessing the same mailbox frequently.
I am posting this to assist those searching for a fix for this issue. It took me a while to find any solution and the users are extremely grateful that they are not receiving the pop-up every few minutes. Since the server postfix configuration is not modified this should be considered a client work-around rather than a solution.
The IMAP connections are live connections and will receive the mail regardless of your scheduled send/receive settings. If you create a separate send/receive group in Outlook (Tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive settings -> Define Send/Receive groups...) for the IMAP mailbox you can avoid the pop-up by de-selecting the option to Schedule an automatic send/receive every X minutes. This sends a NOOP request that works great for Exchange but is not a standard amongst all IMAP implementations, ie Zimbra postfix.
I use a combination of the Zimbra Outlook connector (user mailbox) and IMAP (general shared mailboxes) to allow the ability to drag-and-drop emails AND FOLDERS to and from the respective mailboxes, and download only headers when available. This is also a way for users to manage their own archive mailboxes (additional mailbox license required I believe) on a separate Zimbra mailbox server.
And in case you are wondering why we use still use Outlook.. We have an internal application that requires the ability to drag messages from the email client into the application. Zimbra desktop and webmail do not have this ability. Once the application is updated to integrate with Zimbra directly we will do away with Outlook and switch to Zimbra Desktop or Thunderbird.
Hope this helps.

1 egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Tomato sauce:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, peeled and finely diced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2 cups tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
¼ cup dry white wine
½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
Noodles and topping:
1 teaspoon olive oil
16 spinach lasagna noodles
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1. To prepare the filling: Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the spinach and cook for three minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Press excess liquid out of the spinach and spread out on paper towels.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and saute for five minutes.
3. Place the spinach and the onion mixture in a food processor and purée. Add the ricotta, feta, Parmesan, egg, oregano and pepper; process until smooth, transfer to a bowl and set aside.

6. To assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin coat of the sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with a layer of the noodles running the length of the dish. Spread with half of the spinach mixture and a third of the sauce. Cover with a second layer of the noodles running across the dish, the remaining spinach filling, and another layer of the sauce. Top with the remainder of the noodles and spread with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the feta, Parmesan and parsley.
7. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 40 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

16 pieces
Béchamel sauce:
2½ tablespoons butter or margarine
2½ tablespoons flour
2½ cups low-fat milk, heated until hot
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
1½ pounds cremini or white-button mushrooms, wiped clean, stem ends trimmed, thinly sliced
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons butter or margarine, divided
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 small red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
1 (14½-ounce) peeled and diced tomatoes in purée
1 (14½-ounce) peeled and diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
8 sheets instant lasagna noodles
4 cups shredded mixed mozzarella and provolone cheeses
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. To prepare the béchamel sauce: In a medium-size heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook two minutes. Whisk in the hot milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Cook, whisking often, until thickened, about five minutes. Set aside.
2. Prepare the mushrooms. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, combine 1 teaspoon each olive oil and butter; heat until foamy. Saute half of the mushrooms at a time until cooked through. Remove from the pan and repeat with another teaspoon olive oil and butter and the remaining mushrooms. Remove from the pan.
3. Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper; saute five minutes. Stir in both cans of tomatoes, rosemary, sage, salt, several grindings black pepper and cayenne. Simmer five minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and continue to simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
4. Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with vegetable cooking spray, or lightly oil. Break two of the lasagna sheets into smaller pieces. Combine the cheeses.
5. Spread a thin layer of the mushroom sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay two whole lasagna sheets on top and a few of the smaller lasagna pieces to fill in the spaces. Top with half of the remaining mushroom sauce; sprinkle with a third of the cheeses. Repeat the layers. Top with the remaining layer of noodles. Spread the béchamel sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. (The lasagna can be made in advance. Cover and refrigerate overnight.)
6. Remove lasagna from refrigerator an hour before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, covered with aluminum foil, 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before cutting.
— From The Seattle Times archives, 1995
Serves 6 to 8
Nonstick or olive oil spray
1 container (about 15 ounces) ricotta cheese
8 ounces smoked mozzarella, coarsely shredded
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 jar (24 to 26 ounces) marinara sauce
½ cup water
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
9 no-boil lasagna noodles (an 8-ounce box contains 12)
8 ounces (about 2 cups) cooked chicken, (rotisserie or homemade) shredded
½ cup shredded Pecorino-Romano cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 13-by-10-inch baking dish lightly and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, smoked mozzarella, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Combine marinara, water and tomato sauce. Pour some sauce in the prepared baking dish so it covers bottom of dish. Place three noodles on top. Spread with another layer of sauce, and top with a third of the ricotta mixture and a third of the chicken. Repeat layers twice more, beginning with a layer of noodles and ending with a layer of sauce.
3. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with Romano cheese and bake another 15 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle top with olive oil and let rest 15 minutes before cutting.
Note: Resting the lasagna before cutting allows the steam trapped inside to be absorbed into the pasta layers, causing the pasta to plump and soften more. Since there is less unabsorbed water, the center is drier and the lasagna is less likely to ooze and fall apart.

Season's first snowfall leads to a rash of crashes
Like the first snowfall of any year, the thin layer of white over Northeast Pennsylvania early Tuesday at first seemed a charming reminder of the onset of the holiday season.
Then the headaches started.
Though only about 1½ to 3 inches of snow fell on most areas, the slim but slick layer made for a busy morning for police officers and firefighters responding to myriad minor car crashes across the area.
"It's amazing how many accidents," said Scranton acting police Capt. Glen Thomas when asked about the morning's activity.
The slippery coat of snow and slush on the steep end of Duncan Street where it meets Birney Avenue took the blame for a two-vehicle crash just before 8 a.m.
Capt. Thomas said Roopal Patel, 44, of Scranton, stepped on the brake pedal in her Honda Civic as she approached the intersection but felt her car slide into Birney Avenue, where a tractor-trailer headed north collided with the sedan, sending it over the sidewalk and into an embankment.
City firefighters responded to the scene and, after stabilizing the car with blocks, helped Ms. Patel, her 17-year-old daughter and her 11-year-old son to get out of the vehicle safely.
No one was injured in the crash, Capt. Thomas said. No citations were expected to be filed as it appeared the road conditions were to blame for the collision, Capt. Thomas said.
Police blamed another crash that occurred a short time later in the 1800 block of South Webster Avenue on the first bit of winter weather as well.
Beth McFarland, 44, of Scranton, felt her Jeep Cherokee's wheels start to slide before she crashed into two trees at about 8:40 a.m., Capt. Thomas said.
Ms. McFarland was conscious and alert when first responders arrived but was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center for treatment of injuries, Capt. Thomas said.
By then the snowfall had become a steady white shower over the city, though relatively few flakes survived all the way to the sidewalk, leaving surfaces slick with water and slush throughout the day.
The snow, which was forecast to last until 3 p.m., tapered off shortly after 1 p.m.

Monmouth County Financial Advisor Admits $9 Million Ponzi Scheme
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 17, 2009
TRENTON—A financial advisor and broker from Monmouth County who advised New Jersey clients for more than two decades pleaded guilty today to devising a scheme to defraud investors out of more than $9 million, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Maxwell B. Smith, 69, of Fairhaven, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper to a five-count criminal Information charging him with mail fraud. Smith will remain free on $1 million bail pending sentencing, which is scheduled for Feb. 26.
According to the criminal Information to which he pleaded guilty, Maxwell B. Smith was employed at financial services companies located in Millburn and Tinton Falls, where he provided investment advice to individual clients concerning stocks, bonds, and other investment products.
Smith admitted today that, in 1992, he created a sham entity known as Health Care Financial Partners (HCFP) which purported to be an investment fund with more than $300 million in assets under management, comprised of loans to healthcare facilities such as nursing homes. Using his relationships with his investor clients, Smith admitted that he sold debt securities in HCFP through sham bond offerings ranging in prices from $25,000 to $300,000 per investment.
Smith induced individual investors by creating a phony investment prospectus falsely stating that the total value of HCFP's holdings exceeded $300 million. To further induce individuals to invest in HCFP, Smith falsely claimed that their money would earn yearly dividend interest of between 7.5 and 9 percent, and that the returns on their investments would be tax-free, similar to municipal bonds.
To lull investors into thinking their investments were legitimate and earning returns, Smith admitted that he used a portion of investors' funds to purchase bank checks, which he then sent to investors as purported earnings on their investments.
Instead of investing the funds as promised, Smith admitted before Judge Cooper that he diverted the investments to his own bank accounts where he used the investors' money for his personal expenses including dining, entertainment, gambling and international travel. In total, Smith admitted defrauding HCFP investors out of more than $9 million.
The charge to which Smith pleaded guilty carries a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison per count, and a $250,000 fine.
In determining the sentence, Judge Cooper will consult the advisory sentencing guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges that take into account the severity and characteristics of the offense, the defendant's criminal history, if any, and other factors. However, the Sentencing Guidelines are only advisory, and Judge Cooper has discretion in imposing sentence. Parole has been abolished in the federal system. Defendants who are given custodial terms must serve nearly all that time.
Smith was also investigated by the Division of Criminal Justice of the New Jersey Attorney General's Office and, in a coordinated effort with the U.S. Attorney's Office, has agreed to plead guilty tomorrow to an accusation charging first-degree money laundering before Morris County Superior Court Judge Thomas V. Manahan.
Fishman credited Special Agents of the United States Postal Inspection Service, under the direction of Postal Inspector in Charge David L. Collins, in Newark, as well as Special Agents of the FBI, under the direction of Weysan Dunn, in Newark.
The government is represented by Assistant United States Attorney Paul B. Matey of the Securities and Health Care Fraud Unit of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division in Newark.

text: HTC rolls out 'One' series of smartphones, led by HTC One X Technology 27 February 12 by Duncan Geere HTC One seriesHTC In an attempt to claw back its title as king of the high-end Android smartphone market, HTC has launched the One X, One V and One S.The One X is the flagship model. It has a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, backed up by a fifth "battery saver" core that kicks in when you don't need the full power of the main chip. It also has a 12-core Nvidia Tegra 3 GPU powering the massive 4.7-inch 720p display, and a polycarbonate unibody shell.Under the X is the HTC One S. In place of the quad-core behemoth in the X, it has a not-far-less-capable 1.5GHz dual-core chip and 4.3-inch display. Its 7.9mm-thick casing is made of aluminium that HTC says has been transformed into a dense, ceramic, crystalline structure that's four times harder than regular anodised aluminium. We're looking forward to seeing that in person in the next few days.Then there's the HTC One V, which sits slightly downrange -- in the same way that the HTC Legend sat a little below the HTC Desire. It has a still-pretty-large 3.7-inch display, with a similar aluminium unibody construction to its Legend forebear.Perhaps the most interesting part of the One series, however, is that it's the first time that we've seen the company's Sense UI integrated with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). All three phones ship with Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 4, the latter of which comes with a stack of improvements -- particularly in the imaging category.HTC ImageSense is a set of imaging features that allows very quick access to the camera -- within 0.7 seconds, and with an autofocus that's done in just 0.2 seconds, apparently (we'll be checking that in person later). The One X and One S have an f/2.0 lens, and all three models are capable of HDR photography.On the audio side, HTC is still making the most of its partnership with Beats by Dr Dre, and all the handsets have Beats' audio enhancement capabilities built in across all applications. Dropbox is integrated with the latest edition of Sense, too -- One series owners get 25GB of Dropbox space for two years. Not a bad added extra.The One series is somewhat of a reinvention of HTC's Android portfolio, which has suffered a little in the last year or so. The company lost its early lead in the high-end sector to Samsung, despite some impressive handsets, instead putting its efforts into a surfeit of slightly dull devices targeted at the mid-point of the market.All three handsets will begin shipping globally in April 2012, "with great excitement", according to HTC's press release. We wonder if that comes in the box. They'll be available across all major British phone networks, and while pricing has yet to be formally set down, expect to pay through the nose for the X, pay quite a bit for the S, and be able to get the V relatively cheaply. What do you reckon -- is HTC back on top of the pile again? We're definitely looking forward to getting our hands on the X. Tell us what you reckon to HTC's 2012 offering in the comments below.

My 80 g HDD just died today in my computer. So i lost a bunch of stuff and went and bought a 250 gig. Right now I am getting all the windows updates which takes awhile. I am hoping that the updates will fix the problem but i don't know.
Right now it only shows as a 130 g hard drive. I have googled quite a bit but still i don't have a solution. I am hoping that XP SP2 will fix it. Yes/No?

Re: Merry Christmas from Lingenfelter!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Right back at you Jeff.
Sad that the "Big Man" can't be here to share it with us, but he sure brought a lot of joy to those of us that use his products...
"Merry Christmas" is fine. If that's your holiday and you want to wish me a merry one I don't object. Just as I don't object to someone wishing me a Happy Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or Ramadan. Those are not my beliefs, but I appreciate being included, NOT excluded. I would think that anyone would be happy to be wished a blessing, no matter where it comes from. It's the sentiment, not the words...
Merry Christmas! to everybody from my house to your house!

text: James Murphy teams up with 2manyDJs for monster soundsystem Music 20 July 13 by Duncan Geere DespacioRobert Martin James Murphy, former audio engineer and frontman of LCD Soundsystem, has enlisted Belgian mashup kings 2manyDJs to help him construct an enormous soundsystem for three nights in Manchester.The trio have called their 50,000-watt construction Despacio, which means "slow" in Spanish. It's tuned for audio quality, rather than volume, and their plan is to play nothing but vinyl through it to maximise that. It consists of eight enormous 3.5-metre-tall speaker stacks, positioned in a circle pointing at the audience in the centre.Murphy's designs were brought to life by audio engineer John Klett with amps supplied by McIntosh, an audio equipment company that traces its lineage back to 1949, just before the first soundsystems were built in Jamaica. They supplied amps to both Woodstock and the Grateful Dead's "Wall of Sound".Despacio will be put through its paces between 18 and 20 July during the Manchester International Festival, but after that it won't be decommissioned. Instead, the trio say that they'd like to tour it. "It's not just for three nights. It's forever." says Murphy. "The system shall live on." Unfortunately this doesn't necessarily mean there's more James Murphy music incoming. "I plan to both design things and also occasionally make some music," he says. "Whether this music will go out to other people or remain secret as a sort of sacrifice to the altar of my beliefs remains to be seen. Though as an offering, it might not be that compelling to the gods. They're more into country music." Latest on wired.co.uk

Seattle's first Jewish music festival to ignite Seward Park
By Boris Kurbanov, Special to The Jewish Sound
Any time the word "music festival" is thrown around, people typically think of events like Sasquatch!, SXSW, or Bumbershoot. On August 31, Jewish music from around the world comes to Seattle for the city's first-ever outdoor Jewish music festival, SPARK.
Middle Eastern rock, contemporary Klezmer, Hasidic folk, and rap are just some of the music styles festivalgoers can enjoy at the Seward Park amphitheater on the shores of Lake Washington. Blending music with booming Jewish pride and community, the festival aims to capture Jewish unity while providing a stunning backdrop, said Adam Simon, the festival's lead planner.
"The message is 'we're better together,'" Simon said. "Any time you can bring together Jews to celebrate and to be happy together, that's a great thing."
Headlined by the popular band Moshav of Israel and California, artists featured at SPARK include local hi-hop star Nissim, Klezmer-style bands Sasson and Erev Rav, guitarist and children's performer Eli Rosenblatt, and the talented Oregon-based spoken-word artists Ari Lesser and Ben Yosef.
"You don't have to be Jewishly inspired to appreciate being outdoors and listening to creativity unfold — this is something that can unite both Jews and non-Jews," said Simon. "Feeling the music reverberate through the crowd is something that people love."
The amphitheater is a venue that has yet to be used for events such as festivals, but, thanks to its forested peninsula, its proximity to the beach and views of Mt. Rainier, its beauty can easily be compared to that of Washington State's most notable music venue, the Gorge, Simon said.
Seattle is one of the largest cities in the United States that lacks an outdoor Jewish festival. Along with his friend Ben Gown from Sasson, the idea to bring a festival to Seattle was born several years ago.
"I just thought [the amphitheater] was gorgeous — great views, built-in seating with unmatched views. I thought to myself, there's just something we can do to make this our venue our home," Simon said.
SPARK, which is produced by the Eruv Coalition, a committee of congregants from Seward Park synagogues, welcomes people of all ages. (The eruv is the border around observant Jewish communities within which Jews can carry items on Shabbat, when carrying is prohibited. In the case of the festival, it symbolizes inclusion.) A designated "Kids Korral" for children will feature coffee sack races, sports, and face painting. Kosher cuisine, including a falafel food truck and Ben and Jerry's ice cream, will be available as well.
"We want it to be a transcendent experience for Jews and non-Jews alike, and we wanted to have a quintessential festival for not only Jews, but for everyone who appreciates good music," said Simon. "Music resonates with everybody, and we are very excited to have a chance to bring the amphitheater to life."
If you go: SPARK takes place August 31 from noon to 6 p.m. $18/person. Advance tickets available at BrownPaperTickets.com. Kids 14 and under are free. For more information visit SparkSeattle.org.
