11:08 pm
room. >> that's very tragic. i can't imagine. >> reporter: the homeowner is very distraught, said he did not want to speak to media tonight. everyone in the acura has been released since from the hospital and the driver has been booked into the santa clara county jail. live in campbell i'm betty yu, kpix5. check out this exclusive video we have, dramatic rescue in san francisco. a woman is walking along an off limits area near the cliff house. somehow she lost footing, tumbled nearly 20 feet down onto the rocks. someone heard her screaming for help. they called 911 and rescuers, san francisco firefighters, showed up to take her out. assault tonight 31 current and former cal students are suing the university over the way it's handled sexual assault investigations through the years. a student who claims she was assaulted twice says the university did very little to help her. >> i thought what should have been done is we take rape very
11:09 pm
seriously, but what i heard instead is you made a false allegation and it made me feel like she didn't believe me whatsoever. >> the uc chancellor says sexual assault has no place on a college campus and he's fully committed to making sure cal strengthens and expands its protocols. major league baseball called it discrimination, the nfl threatened to move the super bowl and tonight an arizona bill pitting religious rights against gay rights is dead. it would have allowed business owners the right to refuse customers on the basis of religion. the governor jan brewer said in the end there was no legitimate need for it. have encouraged discriminati >> i've not heard one example in arizona where business owners' religious liberty has been violated. >> opponents say the law would have encouraged discrimination against gays and lesbians. last night we reported about the lawsuit filed by a whistleblower against san francisco's recology. we incorrectly reported on the weight of the bottles and cans
11:10 pm
shipped for reprocessing in 2007 from recology's tunnel road facility. recology shipped roughly 5 million of the 6.3 million pounds they recorded taken in instead of the 1.4 million pounds we reported they shipped and we regret that error. we learned late tonight that jim lang has died. he's well known around the bay area, a broadcast legend on tv and radio. he also hosted a number of game shows in the 1960s and '70s including the dating game. jim lang had a heart attack and died at his home in mill valley. he was 81 years old. asily it could happen to you. a beauty queen hacked, someone posted naked pictures of miss teen usa and the really scary part is how easily it could happen to you. >> we've learned there's a potentially deadly disease hiding in california dust and tonight rain is making it spread even faster. >> we uncovered a strange twist in the story of a california couple who struck gold, the

11:13 pm
professor's attention. lower studies microbes in the soil and is finding hotspots packed with tiny spores. >> it's scary. >> reporter: these spores contain an extremely dangerous fungus. when airborne and inhaled, they can lodge in the lungs and cause valley fever, a potentially fatal disease and while this fungus is native to the san joaquin valley, california's drought is stoking its growth. >> there's no doubt growth favors the growth of the fungus. this is like a quick screening method. >> reporter: low are and her students are mapping where cocci thrives. valley fever spores can survive in dirt without water for decades, but with rain like we're seeing tonight the spores actually gain in power. >> then you have a long drought and a short rainy season, you always get the ones that are more adaptive to those environments to succeed. >> reporter: if you think it's just a central valley problem,
11:14 pm
think again. in december, 1977 california was in the middle of a major drought. strong winds near bakersfield scoured the top soil creating a huge dust storm. it shut down highways, toppled utility towers, damaged property and killed livestock. the plume rose 5,000 feet and spread hundreds of miles as far as sacramento like a tidal wave. >> that top soil was shipped up here and just dumped everywhere. >> reporter: in that top soil, valley fever spores. dr. lynn was on duty at a sacramento hospital. >> we experienced several hundred cases from that dust storm here in sacramento. >> reporter: it killed six and spores can now be found in chico and redding. as for lower she knows. >> something in the air. >> reporter: and all it takes is a gust of wind. >> two cases of valley fever were reported in the bay area in the 1970s.
11:15 pm
it even killed one of the great apes at the san francisco zoo. the symptoms are common like the cold or flu and possibly a rash. we are learning the company that was the first to see that stash of gold coins discovered in gold country is the same one involved in a past discovery that turned into a giant embarrassment for them. this time tiburon gold and coin dealer done keegan said his clients found mint condition coins worth about $10 million on their property back in 2011. keegan said he was duped, a different story, but when a man claimed to find a huge gold nugget on his property, turned out to be a complete hoax, but the new coins appear authentic. miss tune usa is in town, but -- teen usa is in town, but the 19-year-old from temecula is not talking about world
11:16 pm
peace. her mission is about tightening up computer security. >> they were photos of me changing, putting on outfits before school, coming in and out of the shower. >> reporter: cassady wolf was still miss teen california when a former high school classmate hijacked her webcam. from a remote computer he took photos of her in her room, e- mailed them to her and demanded money. >> it took me a second to realize those photos were of my bedroom of me. i looked at them thinking oh, that's the color of my bedroom wall and oh, wait, that's my tv and wait, that's me. >> reporter: we caught up with cassady at the rsa in san francisco, the largest computer security conference in the world. he? is promoting new soft -- she is promoting new software called snoop wall. it shoulds off your computer and sends you an alert. >> in cassady's case the

extortionist was able to operate her computer because she had clicked on a malware link. >> the game angry birds can be used to spy on you. it doesn't have to be malware. >> reporter: who would spy on you using angry birds? >> these guys. >> reporter: that's right. the national security agency. the federal government has been spying on people using angry birds and other popular games according to materials leaked by edward snowden. to protect yourself the software is only the beginning. the experts advise you to do what miss teen usa is now doing. get a sticker or card to physically cover up your webcam when you're no longer using it. joe vazquez, kpix5. you want to get rid of your junk mail? here's how. the u.s. postal service delivers more than 262 million pieces of direct mail or junk mail daily and according to the epa half of all advertising mail is tossed in the trash. you can easily o. out using

From MPR's Sasha Aslanian:
Minnesota's campaign finance board ruled today that corporations that spend money trying to influence the way people vote on proposed constitutional amendments must disclose the names of large donors.
The board's ruling means donors spending more than a $1000 to help a corporation give at least $5000 to a ballot campaign would need to be identified. The ruling has implications for next year's election, when voters will decide whether to change the state's constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
James Bopp Jr., an attorney representing Minnesotans for Marriage, a group that supports the amendment testified against disclosing donor names
"There has been a concerned wide organized comprehensive nationwide effort to harass the supporters of traditional marriage," Bopp said.
Groups opposed to the marriage amendment didn't testify before the board. Common Cause praised the ruling for closing "loopholes that would have allowed millions of dollars of undisclosed contributions to flow to both sides of the marriage debate."
Here's the ruling by the MN Campaign Finance Board.

Oracle fixes the latest 40 Java security flaws
In the continuing race to the bottom between Oracle Java and Adobe Flash, the Java maker moves ahead...or is it behind? Today the company rolls out a series of patches for 40 different flaws. A pre-release announcement tells of the fix, but does not provide much in the way of information about the content of its patch updates before the fixes are posted.
"This Critical Patch Update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities in Oracle Java SE", according to Oracle. "This Critical Patch Update contains 40 new security vulnerability fixes. Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply Critical Patch Update fixes as soon as possible".
The vulnerabilities being fixed by this latest round of Critical Patch Updates are scored using the standard CVSS 2.0 ( Common Vulnerability Scoring System). The highest CVSS 2.0 base score for vulnerabilities is 10.0. The system contains information that includes a relative severity of security risks.
According to the pre-release bulletin, "37 of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password".
Fixes will begin rolling out today to all victims... ahh... customers. It affects users of both JDK and JRE versions 5, 6 and 7, as well as JavaFX 2.2.21 and earlier. Good luck and happy updating.

All it would take is one blow! The game was evenly matched 68-68 as the clock ran out Mount Vernon senior Kadeem Dinham would hit the big game winning shot so he thought 70-68.
The Knights and Mount Vernon fans would rush the court the clock read zero. As the ball swooshed into the net the clock read 1.7 seconds the ball would not touch the hardwood and the whistle would be blown. The referee blew the whistle waving his arms saying a time-out was called by one of the Newburgh Eagles (Section IX) players. The three referee's cleared the court the game was not over to the surprise of the Knights.
The game resumed with 2.0 seconds put back on the clock, Newburgh would have possession of the ball. The ball is passed off to junior William Bouton who does the unthinkable. If you were there, you would have left the game scratching your head asking how.
From behind the half court line Bouton heaves a prayer and it is answered with a 55 foot turn around bank shot. Newburgh took down the Knights with one blow for the win 71-70. The Mount Vernon Knights stood froze in disbelief that their season was officially over.
Dinham, in a somber voice, spoke about the last shot that Newburgh took, "I didn't believe it. It was unbelievable. I thought we won. I didn't even know how they could put 2.0 seconds back on the clock. I started to walk off the court but it hit the glass and went in. It's so hard, especially for the seniors."
After the game, with his team's emotions running high, the Knights Coach Bob Cimmino spoke about his team's loss. "It's so unfortunate to have it zap away in a two second period. Tribute to Newburgh, they are a very talented team that played us strongly. If you take the basketball out of the equation right now, your players are hurting. Your family has been suspended; it ends so abruptly there is no practice tomorrow. Now all the college plans must get started."
Coach Cimmino then gave his take on the last minutes of the game saying, "This is what we do and now it's done. We had victory. The buzzer went off. We had victory. Then two minutes later, we were done. So it really hurts. There is no replay at this level and you just gotta take it that the referee saw the kid call a time-out. I didn't see anyone call a time-out but it's not up to me to look for it. I was just watching the ball spin and drop down. This is the hardest loss that I have ever been a part of such a good group of player's nine seniors. We didn't come with our 'A' game early. We made some mistakes, but we played well enough to win. Defense kicked in the second half and we did a nice little run we were up five with 50seconds left. They just made a couple of plays and again their quality team and did what their suppose to do. That ball bounces for a reason sometimes it bounces the way you don't like it to bounce. They got us today."
During game play in the first quarter, the Mount Vernon Knights were up by 15 points. Newburgh would go on a run in the second quarter commanding their strongest lead. The Knights were in foul trouble the quarter would finish in Newburgh's favor 33-29. Mount Vernon would have a nice little run with Jabarie Hinds and Sherrod Wright downing most of the shots finishing the third 50-46. The fourth quarter saw a lot of back and forth game play by both teams Newburgh would trail throughout the quarter before tying up the score 68-68 with 33:3 seconds left.
The rest is puzzling. A game winning shot by the Knights gave them the win. However, two seconds later it was snatched away 70-68.
The high scorer of the game is Sherrod Wright with 25 points. Fellow Knight Jabarie Hinds would contribute 12points and Jordan Lessane added 11 points. William Bouton finishes with 17 points and Patrick Johnson would add 16 points for the Newburgh Eagles.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for using Just Answer.
If you own the mobile home, and your sister doesn't pay rent to you, then "a second home" is exactly the correct characterization.
Admittedly, the lot rent she pays can be considered a payment to you, but it's probably not significant.
In general, if a relative lives in your property, and doesn't pay reasonable rent (which could be below fair market rent, due to the fact that you know her and might trust her), then it's treated, for (some) tax purposes, as if you lived in the property.
Please keep in mind that, dependent on the extent of her disability, you may be able to claim her as a dependent. For that purpose, the cost of maintaining the mobile home may be considered as part of her support which you supply.
There may be other ways it may be considered a rental or investment property, but, unless you can think of some, you'll need to amend your 2009 and 2010 returns to remove it as a rental, and put it in the "second home" category.
thank you Arthur...I was apprehensive about the right to use the "second home" category. But now I feel better. Wish me luck in doing the amendments. I hope Turbo is set up to ask the right questions or I'll be back.. take care and thanks again
one question more please regarding the right to claim my sister dependent upon her disability..Social Security has said she is 100% disabled and that's why she's getting her Medicare/Medicaid before age 62...she's been getting it about 5 years now I believe..what proof might I need if the IRS asks for proof? also, she has given me authorization (through Social Security) to be responsible for her bill payments, etc. because she forgets and also isn't capable of keeping good records when she is doing the checking, etc. on her own.
The definition of "permanently and totally disabled" for the purpose of the dependency deduction is "[S]he cannot engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical and mental condition." and "A doctor determines that the condition has lasted or is expected to last continuously for at least a year or can lead to death."
The Social Security Administration has so constructed their web site so that I cannot determine their definition, but I believe it to be comparable. If it is, you can use the SS finding to support the tax finding. If not, you'll need to get a doctor's certification.
As I read Publication 501, outlining the rules for the dependency exemption, it only seems to make a difference if she has more than $3700 in income (disregarding Social Security), and if she is younger than you (or your spouse), and she lives with you 6 months out of the year. If she has $3700 or less in income, and you supply over half of her "support", then she is either a "qualifying child" or a "qualifying relative" (never mind the wording; a relative can be a qualifying child; a child can be a "qualifying relative" and not a "qualifying child", and neither need actually be a relative.)
The cost of maintaining the mobile home counts as part of "support".
If she is considered disabled, then any income from a "sheltered workshop" is excluded from gross income for the purpose of the income test.
The specific rules (assuming she is over 26) are:
She is a "qualifying child" if she lives with you at least 6 months of the year, is disabled, and she does not supply half of her support.
She is a "qualifying relative" if she is not a "qualifying child" of anyone, has at most $3700 in gross income (disregarding Social Security, and (if disabled) income from a "sheltered workshop"), and you supply more than half of her support.

International Women's Day 2013
Category: Charity Gifts, Concern Gifts, Concern Worldwide, Poverty
Friday 8th March 2013 is International Women's Day, a very special 24 hours for everyone to come together to celebrate the empowerment of women. It is a great day to reflect on how females are now receiving better opportunities for education and jobs, and also to help raise awareness on the gender gap that unfortunately still remains. Concern Worldwide work in tackling hunger, but believe that they cannot address extreme poverty without looking at gender inequality.
Many women across the world are still disadvantaged in terms of what they are entitled to, and their opportunities to work, study and learn. For example in Malawi, gender inequality creates a cycle of vulnerability and poverty. Our picture show Doris Malinga, who is a lead farmer in Concern's Conservation and Agriculture programme. She has been trained to dig planting basins and prepare 'mulch', which helps to protect the soil from the baking sun. Thanks to her involvement, Doris and her family now have enough food to eat.
Doris said –
I harvest the crop and have enough food for my family. I also get more yield from a small piece of land and it means that I can spend more time with my family. I have so many friends who also want to try conservation agriculture, so I have been showing them what I have learnt.
Doris' story just goes to show that change is slowly beginning to happen across the globe, as more and more women are given the chance to address their health and financial needs. As the change in attitude towards women's participation and ability in agriculture continues, they now feel more confident in producing greater yields through support from Concern Worldwide.
Here's hoping that more is done to invest in female farmers so they can overcome the challenges and issues that still exist around the world. Women are just as vital a part of agriculture and food production as any man, so let's celebrate their role on Friday 8th March for International Women's Day 2013.
If you would like to support Concern Worldwide, why not purchase a virtual charity gift for a friend or loved one from our dedicated page? Here you can find out more about their work, and how you can help provide much needed funds so they can continue to help some of the world's poorest people.

Navistar shares are crumbling today, and one investor apparently thinks that the selling could intensify.
optionMONSTER's Depth Charge monitoring program detected a large bearish trade in the truck maker, which has been struggling to develop low-emission engines. Some 14,000 October 20 puts were sold for $0.25 against previous open interest. Equal-sized blocks traded in the November 18 calls, sold for $2.45, and the November 16 puts, bought for $0.35.
Volume exceeded open interest in the Novembers, so it appears that the investor closed a bearish position in October and rolled it forward by one month. He or she collected a credit of $2.35 in the process and stand to profit from NAV pushing lower. (See our discussion of collars )
The trader may own shares and could be using the options to hedge their position. If that's the case, he or she must now sell for $18 if the stock closes above that level on Nov. 16 but has ensured a minimum exit price of $16. They would make more than that including today's credit, but we don't know their cost basis from the earlier trade.
NAV is down 7.3 percent to $19.04 in early afternoon trading and has lost more than half its value since February. The stock has spent the last four months trying to hold support around $20, its lowest price since the start of 2009.
Today's bearish trade pushed total option volume to 9 times greater than average so far today, according to the Depth Charge.

Life Seems So Unfair When Someone Else Wins
After Spain's Banco Santander won a tight race for a prized Polish asset held by Allied Irish Banks, the two banks left in the losing field — from France and Poland — say they weren't treated fairly in the process. At least one of them may want to think twice before complaining about a lack of fairness.
On Friday, AIB said Santander would pay nearly €3 billion for 70% in its Polish unit Bank Zachodni WBK. The Spanish bank, so far with a very small market share in Poland, will thus acquire Poland's fourth-largest bank by assets.
The move made the other suitors — PKO Bank Polski and France's BNP Paribas, top banks by assets in their home markets — quite unhappy. PKO Bank Polski had fervent support of the Polish government for its bid, while BNP Paribas earlier said its offer for Zachodni was "aggressive."
That the Spaniards won the race is a bitter pill for rivals to swallow. According to Polish press reports, the two banks say the auction was a farce, that AIB had secretly picked Santander as the winner at the very beginning of the process, and that the Spanish bank had access to privileged information, including the details of the offers its rivals made for Zachodni and earnings projections of both defeated bidders.

Kuwait has pledged to fund most of a $500-million- project on the Litani river in south Lebanon, Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri said Sunday at the end of a visit to the oil-rich emirate.
"The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) and Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD), based in the emirate, will make a very substantial contribution" to finance the project, Hariri said.
"The Kuwaiti contribution will be close to covering the full amount. Kuwait has agreed to finance other projects," he told a press conference, without naming them.
The Litani river project aims to provide irrigation and power to the whole of southern Lebanon, most of which was under Israeli occupation for two decades until May 2000.
Feasibility studies have been completed and work on the project could begin as early as June.
Hariri arrived in the emirate on Saturday and met the emir, Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah, and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Abdullah al-Sabah.
The two countries signed economic agreements on avoiding double taxation, on investment promotion and road transport during the visit, Hariri said. The accords aim to attract Kuwaiti investors in Lebanon by offering guarantees and protection.
Hariri said Kuwait had also pledged to help in mines-clearing operations in south Lebanon.
Since the end of Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war, Kuwait has provided Beirut with a total of $415 million in aid, of which $127 million has been in the form of grants.—AFP.

I am a 45 year old African-American female. When I was in my early 20s, blisters formed on my leg. Eventually, they burst and scars appeared. Over the years, I have tried all kinds of over-the-counter skin creams. However, the scars have remained. It is depressing to be unable to wear swimsuits, shorts or skirts, without feeling uncomfortable. Many of the skin covering makeup is heavy and doesn't match my skin tone. Are there any new ways to remove old scars? Help!
Can I Get Rid of Old Scars? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
How To Get Rid of A Old Dark Scar/A Three Step Method
First of all there is no way to totally remove a darkened scar. One should strive to find a process where the darkened portion of the scar is lightened and blends in with the surrounding non-damaged skin and therefore appears less noticable. In my experience this can be accomplished in the following manner:
- You will require 3-4 well focused BBL laser treatments. (this laser will lighten the scar)
- After the scar has lightened then you should utilize a topical skin bleaching cream over the scar to keep it lighter.
- Be sure to utilize a sunblock over the scar when exposed to sunlight. This will help to prevent a return to the hyperpigmented scar that was improved.
With this method you should expect a 40 to 70% improvement in the scar.
I hope this helps.

But instead of replying using traditional language – the O2 account decides to
mimic the customer.
It says: "Have you tried to reset the router ting, fam, so mans can use the

It's no secret that saving money for retirement is difficult.
Personal savings rates have plunged in the past several decades to reach negative levels in recent years. Similarly, according to Employee Benefit Research Institute, the average 401(k) balance was a mere $57,000 in recent years. Clearly, something is not working with current retirement savings practices.
There are four key psychological principles that contribute to the retirement savings dilemma.
- Self-Discipline: Saving money requires self-discipline to forsake immediate pleasure for the promise of a future benefit. Many people lack this will-power.
- Procrastination: Saving money is easier to accept if restrictions on spending are put-off to a future year. Unfortunately, that future frequently gets put-off indefinitely.
- Misperception: Money saved is perceived as a loss even though it is building an asset because there was no instant gratification from spending.
- Nominal vs. Real Delusion: A pay increase, even if it's less than the rate of inflation, is viewed as a gain. People value nominal increases in spending more than real but can't understand why nothing is left for savings.
To solve these problems and develop an alternative savings strategy designed to work with people's inherent psychological limitations, economists Richard H. Thaler from University of Chicago and Shlomo Benartzi at U.C.L.A developed an innovative solution called "Save More Tomorrow."
Workers participate by allocating a portion of each future pay raise to future savings. They are allowed to spend some of the money with the rest going automatically to 401(k) savings.
The key to this strategy working is that it happens automatically. Previous studies (Madrian and Shea (1999)) demonstrate how automatic enrollment plans were highly effective in increasing retirement plan participation by automatically enrolling employees as soon as they were eligible. Unlike the typical 401(k) where the default is to not join, automatic enrollment plan's default is to join. This small change made all the difference in helping employees afford to retire.
The "Save More Tomorrow" strategy simply takes the automatic enrollment concept one step further by automatically increasing 401(k) contributions with each pay raise. The employee doesn't have to do anything except choose to participate. The employee never sees the money and never has to make a decision to save it. They don't feel any sense of loss or deprivation because people don't miss what they never had.
For example, assume a worker in his mid-30s earned the median household income of $49,777 and dedicated two-thirds of each annual 3% pay raise to his 401(k), earning an average annual return of 8%. Amazingly, by the time he reached age 65, he would have nearly $1.5 million put away. Not only that, he still would have enjoyed one-third of each annual pay raise in current spending.
There are two important principles that make this retirement savings strategy so effective. The first is the automatic saving of the money. By making participation automatic, it takes advantage of people's natural inertia in making decisions.
The second important principle at work in this strategy is to control lifestyle costs. The mistake most people make is to increase lifestyle as income grows. If you want to build wealth you must control lifestyle and defer your income growth to savings. Automatically allocating pay increases helps to automatically control lifestyle increases as well.
In summary, the key to building a secure retirement nest-egg is to overcome the inherent obstacles that stand between you and your goal. You have natural human tendencies that limit your ability to save money. Automatic savings programs are effective because they overcome these tendencies by putting money away before you ever see it, thus eliminating any sense of loss and eliminating any requirement for discipline.
This provides a simple solution to help you grow retirement savings – automatically.

Parts of NASA-led school program on hold in Burton
Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:27:45 GMT —
Parts of a NASA-led program at two Flint-area schools have been pushed back because of the partial federal government shutdown.
Aimee Phillips, an assistant coordinator with the Genesee Intermediate School District, says that the afterschool program will continue without some aspects in place.
Phillips says she was notified by NASA about the shutdown's effect and said it won't be a large setback for the Burton schools. Plans on hold include scheduled live video talks with astronauts and items providing direct links with NASA staff and support.
Roughly a dozen students at Atherton Middle School moved forward Tuesday with their first lesson of constructing a parachute. The pilot program is meant to test and challenge students' skills in areas of science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM.

Anyone know what the problem might be?
Diverter valve ?
sounds like you are in limp home mode.
I had exactly that happen after a bodged re-map by Morego on my mkV GTI a couple of years ago.
What engine diesel or petrol,could be boost pressure reg or maf etc etc best to get it plugged on vag come
Its a 2005 1.9TDI sorry didnt mention with 50k on clock.
Its come up as turbo over boost and been told it will be ok to drive until it goes in next week to be looked at and solved.The guy said its hard to pin-point(fair enough) that it could be anything from a wire to a new part.
My main worry is it could be a new turbo so could anyone tell me if this could be a possible outcome?
If so how much roughly do audi charge to put a new turbo on?
The car was in limp mode but also no turbo boost as it was over boosting.
Any info would be greatly received.
Are you getting any smoke out of the back? If so it could be the turbo.
First port of call is to check under the bay and make sure that all electrical connections look OK, and there are no knackered / split pipes or hoses giving air leaks.
If the car can't hold boost then the boost control valve may have failed.
Were there any symptoms pre-dash light? (loss of power / hesitations / odd noises). What kind of speed were you at when it happened (or was it from start up)?
No symptons and happened pre start up and no black smoke.
The emmisions light came on yesterday when got in car and noticed turbo was not kicking in so took it to audi and they stated its come up as over turbo boost so car ok to drive and take it back next friday where they will sort it out.
Audi charge £2k to relace the turbo, this is the second one I've heard of in the past week, (2005 car 50k on the clock) the first one failed spectacularly (blue smoke etc) but didn't lunch the engine. Meethinks there maybe a problem with the turbos.
Surely if the turbo is over boosting then its working?
Was told today that the engine light has come on because of the turbo over boost and its knocked the turbo of to save the engine from any damage.
Im hoping its not the turbo and as stated no noises or black smoke thus i dont think its the turbo itself.
Im no mechanic but have looked at engine and hoses etc seem ok.
Overboost is why it drops into limp mode. It could be the valve at the bottom of the turbo, the variable vanes sticking or oil feed pipe blocking reducing oil feed to turbo. The N75 is another option, it costs about £130 to replace, but may not solve the problem. I'd get Audi to do the analysis, if they suspect the turbo, they should offer a percentage of the cost to it's replacement.
Separate names with a comma.

Alexander Given 'Media Good Guy Award'Posted by on December 29, 2011 – 12:22 pm
Each year, it is a tradition for the media and beat reporters to award one player in the Redskins locker room with the annual "Media Good Guy Award."
The award is given to the player that best helps the media do their job of covering the team, even in (and especially in) times of losing and disappointment. While there was very little locker room drama this year, losing made it difficult to face reporters.
The 2011 award could have gone to a number of players that make up the core leadership of the Redskins, but the recipient was the most-deserving of them all. Presenting the award on behalf of the media, was long-time beat reporter John Keim of the Washington Examiner:
This is a well-deserved honor for Alexander, who has fully embraced his role as a team leader and captain. With another strong season of 20 special teams tackles under his belt, he will more than deserve his Pro Bowl trip to Honolulu, when it finally happens.
Congratulations, Lorenzo!

Hello Guys,
Is it recommended to use dynamic ram setting on Hyper V for the analysis server that will be processing cube in a production environment? Considering the fact there will be resource contention amongst other VMs on the host.
Hi ghostme,
Yes, I suggest using dynamic ram setting on Hyper V, in this way, we can use the memory more efficiently. By setting the Startup RAM, the virtual machine can always take up the minimal memory which it requires to run; by setting Maximum RAM, the virtual
machine will not try to take more memory which will affect other virtual machines' performance. There is a list of documents provide detail information about Hyper-V Dynamic Memory, you can refer to them.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – A Cambodian court sentenced four former Khmer Rouge rebels to up to 20 years in prison each yesterday for their involvement in the murder of a British mine-clearing expert 12 years ago.
The convictions and sentences came after an investigation of more than a decade into the killing of Christopher Howes, who worked for the Britain-based Mines Advisory Group, and his Cambodian interpreter, Houn Hourth.
Judge Iv Kim Sri convicted four defendants of premeditated murder and illegal confinement and acquitted a fifth yesterday.
All had pleaded not guilty in the Phnom Penh court.
Howes' family and friends expressed satisfaction with the verdict.

Three years after throwing his last pitch in Detroit and at the ripe age of 35, it appears Rodney is finally getting it en route to a career year with the Tampa Bay Rays.
A week after being named to his first All-Star Game, Rodney is now expected to close out Tuesday's Midsummer Classic if the American League enters the ninth with the lead.
"I'm ready for it," Rodney told reporters Monday afternoon.
The 10-year veteran has seemingly beaten out two other experienced American League closers in Jim Johnson of the Baltimore Orioles and Chris Perez of the Cleveland Indians.
Second in the American League with 25 saves, Rodney has blown only one opportunity en route to a stellar 0.93 ERA and a 25:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio with the Rays.
Asked how it'll feel to have an opportunity to save another game behind former teammate Justin Verlander, Rodney couldn't hide his grin.
"I'll like," he said. "I like to close behind Verlander. I like to close behind anyone."
With his wife, four kids, mother and a few friends in attendance, Rodney's only goal is to soak in the entire All-Star experience.
"I'm happy," Rodney said. "When you keep working and finally get to where I'm at today, I'm just happy."
Rodney signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Rays in early January and was rewarded with another chance in early April after he was assigned closer duties when Rays right-hander Kyle Farnsworth suffered a strained right elbow.
"I was looking for one more chance," Rodney said. "One more opportunity to come back to the big leagues. They gave me a chance."
He's taken the role and run with it.
Leyland recently said Detroit was "quietly interested" in bringing back Rodney to fill the right-handed setup role, but eventually settled on journeyman Octavio Dotel.
Rodney said Monday that he was unaware of the Tigers' interest, but admitted to being targeted by a few teams this offseason. He ended up choosing Tampa.
"It really wasn't on my mind to go to Detroit," Rodney said. "I had a lot of choices, like Minnesota and St. Louis. When they told me Tampa, I said, 'I'm going to Tampa.'"
Despite a bloated 4.40 ERA with the Tigers, Rodney saved 37 games in 38 opportunities in 2009. He led the league in save percentage and games finished -- all while leaving a strong impression on Leyland.
"I thought he was a real warrior here," Leyland said in mid-April. "I don't think Fernando Rodney ever got the credit that he deserved in Detroit."
Rodney said he remains "buddies" with Leyland, but didn't feel slighted during his seven-year stint in Detroit.
"Jim said they didn't give me the respect that I should've deserved, but that's baseball," he said. "When you think you're going to stay, you have to go. I was happy they gave me the chance to play."

I need some career advice please
I've been out of work for the last 6 months after being made redundant by my previous employer (a major UK bank). The redundancy package was generous and has allowed me to enjoy the time off. However, I'm now thinking about getting back into the workforce and I'm seriously thinking about changing my career having been in banking (front office origination and execution) for the past 13 years.
I am interested in starting a career in IT. I enjoy tinkering with computers both at the hardware and software level. I don't have any programming skills but I would like to get involved with systems administration.
I have been using GNU/Linux and OpenBSD for the past 4 years (entirely self taught) and have set up my home network. I use OpenBSD as my gateway and OpenWrt as my SAMBA server. I enjoy installing and configuring systems (desktop and servers) esp. 'playing' with packet filtering.
I am just starting to look at Windows Server 2008 and, albeit early stages, am finding it very simple compared to *nix. This could be because I've 'grown-up' in the open source community where people are generally very learned and always demonstrating a level of understanding that amazes me.
I don't have any formal IT qualifications despite having 4 university degrees: 2 undergrad (1 accounting, 1 law) and 2 post-grad (1 finance, 1 mathematics). I don't have any 'workplace' IT experience (save for use of MS Excel at an advanced level: VBA and all that).
I'm 39yo and would prefer not to go back into banking (I've gotten tired of working with many headstrong and egotistical people, but it does pay well). I really need to know if I'm wasting my time looking for a career in IT and I have no real prospects of getting a job in systems administration.
I would appreciate some guidance.
I'm posting this in 'Linux - Certification' because I'm not sure where else it should go.
Kind regards
Generally speaking, while it's great to have either a CS degree or certifications, most employers prefer work experience. And with no experience, you'll probably start out with a help desk job, unless someone personal knows your expertise and will place you in a more senior position. 39 is still young and with people working longer in life, you have the opportunity to make IT a career.
You're probably aware that the computing world is divided into two camps -- Microsoft and the rest. Good, bad or indifferent, that's how it is and that's what you have to live with. You kind of have to make a choice (and get some formal training, the "piece of paper" matters to get your foot in the door just like it does in pretty much ever endeavor). I don't know what the equivalent of community colleges are in the UK, but there must be something similar that offers classes in the basics of administration (networking, configuration, back up, all the stuff administrators do) and taking a few of those would be worth your time and effort.
Back in the bad old days there was IBM and the BUNCH; IBM dominated corporate computing and the BUNCH (that would be Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR, Control Data Corporation, and Honeywell) were kind of the also-ran's. You specialized in one and crossing over from one to the other was difficult (the skills were manufacturer-specific). In the bad old new days, it's pretty much the same; i.e., Microsoft or UNIX/Linux and the twain do not meet or merge too well.
I'm kind of wondering, though, why a guy with masters' in finance and mathematics doesn't shoot, perhaps, in a slightly different direction (which is not to say there's anything wrong with system administration in any way -- far from it, the work is interesting, not physically taxing and, you know, they give you money). IT management, trust me on this, needs people that have imagination, are willing and able to look in all directions for what will work best rather than just continuing down the same well-worn path trod by all and sundry that have come before; it used to be that "nobody every got fired for going with the leader" irrespective of whether "the leader" was, in fact, the right choice to do the job at hand. Things haven't changed much: companies blindly buy and continue to throw good money after bad at "the leader," totally ignoring the benefits and cost savings of looking at "the BUNCH" and it would be useful if someone in charge were willing and able to lead in a different direction (this is not, mind, an easy task to take on).
But, bottom line, can you take up IT as a profession? Sure -- but, you really do need to get some training if for no other reason than you need to know what you're letting yourself in for. You ought to look around at where the jobs are (Microsoft, Linux, UNIX?) and think about what you'd really like to specialize in: you still have to get out of bed in the morning and go do the work; it would be nice if getting up and going is something you look forward to rather than dread, eh.
I would learn C programming. Its the lingua franca of programming languages.
I would take a few Cisco courses. Its the best investment I ever made in learning networking and with your math back ground you stand a chance with IPv6.
I wouldn't worry about learning a specific OS; I started with AT&T System 5 and thats not even with us anymore, I think Google Andriod is the future and the Microsoft and all the others will be wondering what just happened.
The reality of IT is that you have no idea where you will be in 2 years time.
I wouldn't necessarily bother to do more programming specific courses.
If you have some contacts you might be ok just with an LPIC-1 certification. Should be enough to do some system admin on Liux systems. With VBA you already know enough to do some basic scripting and luckily with many jobs you won't need anyting else. There are lost of routes to go though. Cisco certifications are harder and you also have Microsoft ones for system admin work on MS exchange etc (these ones are quiet easy too). A friend of mine went down the MS route. Did some courses and got a certiciate from MS. He did get a job and also haven't got any programming experience.
So it depends on what sort of job you are going for. But you probably have to do some sort of course and/or certification.
Thanks for the responses. I'm encouraged by them. I'm going to look into LPIC-1. I had looked into RHCE but I think I need to walk before I can run.

text: Slowly but surely my mojo is starting to come back... I havent truly had it since the week leading up to the NE game weeks ago. We at least made it as far as last year...despite losing Cushing, and despite all the changes we had to make this offseason to prepare for our long term stability as a team. Maybe we just played too Vanilla last time? Maybe they will be rusty? Maybe Tom Brady comes down with mad cow disease prior to kickoff? Maybe it really is extremely difficult to beat a team twice in one year, let alone a playoff team. Maybe Foster absolutely goes OFF on them this time... Who knows? ANYTHING can happen, and for whatever reason I am starting to get excited again. In 7 days, we just might be talking about playing for a spot in the Super Bowl. Whether likely or not, its why they play the game. Whats your attitude at the MO? GO TEXANS!!!

Regions Traditions Interview: Michael AllenJune 07, 2013
MORE INTERVIEWS: Regions Tradition transcript archive
Q. Got it in at 6-under 68, pretty good. Any effect with all the water last night?
MICHAEL ALLEN: I slept better, all the rain. No, I mean, this course, is surprisingly dry honestly. It played very nice, no mud balls. The course took the rain obviously very well.
Q. Any highlights to the round?
JAY DON BLAKE: Playing with me.
MICHAEL ALLEN: That was the second one. I don't know, I played pretty good overall. I missed a little one-foot putt on the 2nd hole, my only bogey. I didn't make many putts. I made a birdie on 3 kind of from about two feet. There wasn't a whole lot of excitement really, just kind of a nice steady round. I played pretty well.
Q. Michael, you finished in the Top 10 each of the last two years here. Is there anything particularly about Shoal Creek that stands out?
MICHAEL ALLEN: You know, I like the golf course. It's a course that doesn't seem to be extremely overly hard, but it really makes you think and play. And you've got to drive the ball well here, that's the biggest thing and that's probably what I do best, little cut shots, little draws, you know, because the fairways slope. So I think that's the main thing is I drive the ball pretty well so I'm in position. These days it's not an extremely long course so it kind of plays well in my hands where I can get a lot of short irons and wedges in.
Q. Keep it going.
MICHAEL ALLEN: All right.

Lost 60 lbs this year and very close to my goal weight. Current weight 175 would like to get to 150. I am 5'6'' and a curvy girl (always have been). I want to have a flattened stomach and be able to exercise more comfortably.
What procedure is right for me? Should I be at goal weight before surgery? Goal remove excess skin and have a flatten stomach.
Doctor Answers 8
Goal weight
Thank you for your question. It is always advisable to be at your goal weight before any surgery esp. TT. Well done on your weight loss. Having reviewed your photos I believe you are a candidate for a lower body lift (LBL). This willgive you a butt lift and augmentaion if needed, lateral thigh lift, TT and monsplasty. Liposuction is almost always done as well to further improve your definition. Consult with an experienced ps doing lots of TT's and LBL's.
Excess Skin
The procedure best suited to remove excess skin of the abdomen is a tummy tuck. From your photographs, it would appear that would be the procedure for you. As for additional weight loss, it is always advisable to be at your goal weight before doing the procedure, so as not to risk any additional loose skin, however 10lbs should not make much difference.
All the best.
What procedure is right for me? Should I be at goal weight before surgery? Goal remove excess skin and have a flatten stomach
Tummy tuck after you reach your goal weight would result in a tremendous improvement in contour.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Tummy Tuck and Weight Loss
Congratulations on your weight loss! Patients who lose a lot of weight resulting in excess skin are good candidates for a tummy tuck which is one of the most patient pleasing procedures done today. Sometimes the last 10 to 20 pounds can be the most difficult and frustrating, if your weight is stable, the last 10 or 20 pounds probably won't make a lot of difference. Good luck!

Tummy tuck
Thanks for your question. Best to get to your goal weight first. Then you would be a great candidate for a tummy tuck. Best of luck.

Great job losing your excess weight!
Thank you for your question and congratulations on your very successful weight loss. You are definitely doing it the right way; losing the weight first and then looking to have plastic surgery to get rid of the excess skin and tighten your muscles. Although an exam would be necessary to determine what would be best for you, it looks like you would be a good candidate for either a standard tummy tuck or a lower body lift to get rid of excess skin on the flanks which also provides somewhat of a buttock lift. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Goal weight before surgery?
It is best to be near or close to your goal weight before surgery. Congratulations, you are almost there. This would give you the best cosmetic result. This would also avoid loose skin if you had the surgery first and continued to lose weight.
Best Procedure for Abdominal Wall after Weight Loss?
Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very proud of this accomplishment. Ideally, you will do best if you have achieved your goal weight before surgery but at this point you are very close to being ready in my opinion.
You will benefit from operations such as tummy tuck surgery, extended tummy tuck surgery, or lower body lifting. Much will depend on your specific goals, best determined during in-person consultation.
When the time is right, see consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work helping patients in your situation.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Be a Producer
You are not what you consume.
We live in a society where being a good "consumer" is evangelized more than producing something new, original, or innovative.
Every year in America we enter the holiday shopping season, and every year I cringe. I'm not going to pretend I never went to Black Friday for those deals. Back when Black Friday started you didn't see nearly as many headlines be about how many people got injured to have the mere chance of saving a few hundred dollars on the next technology that will 'define' them for the next few days.
Before you think I'm being a condescending hypocrite, let me explain why/how I've changed my view. With my background and career I've traveled to many different parts in the world and experienced things that not everyone gets to.
There are places where a lot of the population still has barely any running water. In these two countries I've seen the most uneven distribution of wealth to the point it's sickening. To not call out any specific region and offend anyone, I'll point out two very vivid memories I still hold without mentioning location of either one.
First memory, I remember staying a nice American-chain hotel having clean water, buffet of good food. Then being a short walk away from a nice American-mall where Armani Exchange, Gucci and all those other high-end retailers resided. Then just a short drive away animals were roaming the streets across from a real slum. Not a hollywood movie slum, an actual slum. People living underneath sticks and tarps, defecating in public near wild animals. They didn't have running water, much less food.
Next vivid memory, was walking and taking a taxi to a store to buy bottled water so that we could make food later without boiling it to not get sick. Next going to a religious establishment (not going to point out the specific religion) made of marble and with gold-plated artifacts around where we went to and donated money to. You can see why this one stayed in my mind. We have no clean water, yet we give money to an entity that does nothing to give us basic infrastructure?
The reason I'm sharing with you those two memories is to make a point. It is sad and disgusting that while there are people out there struggling with basic needs, that we are in America, are fighting over "deals" so we can be perceived better than our peers. And guess what the irony of the whole thing is? We, in the US, are probably less happy than people with "less" in other parts of the world.
Instead of using the resources available to us to make the world a better place for everyone, we're getting excited about how we trampled over other people to get the new gizmo for slightly cheaper than everyone else. We judge people for their appearance, gossip about the cheap Christmas or Hanukkah gift that someone gave you and squabble over what in the big picture of things, is absolutely nothing and meaningless.
I'm not going to pretend that America is in a great situation either, we've all been affected by the economic downturns in the past decade. Our income inequality is reaching levels close to countries known for rampant corruption. This level of apathy about the issue is disgusting and everyone in the US including myself should be ashamed.
We should use this time to innovate. Grow in areas that we would otherwise not explore if we were in a cushy job and had no reason to look around.
Try to be an entrepreneur, create jobs, gather influence to fix the laws that are crippling our society.
Try to be an advocate for an issue you care about, income inequality? minimum wage? unemployment benefits? homelessness? drug legalization? death penalty? gender equality? lack of pet shelters?
Try to help out other people, try to solve their problems. They'll help you.
Try to change the culture of your city, work, community for the better.
You're probably thinking, "But doing XYZ is risky! I don't have the means to do it!", "XYZ doesn't bother me.", "Nobody cares about XYZ".
If you never take risks, you'll never change the world.

Do we really have to "rebrand" fruits and veggies to get people to eat them? Aren't great health and skinny jeans enough? Thoughts on this? What solutions do you have?
Like vino, the skin of fresh red grapes contains the protective chemical resveratrol, which may sharpen your brain and reduce your risk for both heart disease and cancer. "And there's no alcohol, which has been linked to certain cancers," Gerbstadt says. Pop a bunch for a ticker-saving dessert: Eating 1 to 2 cups of red and green grapes protects against the heart-harming effects of a fatty meal, a study in Vascular Pharmacology concludes.
Be-leaf it! Women who ate more than three 3/4-cup servings of cabbage weekly slashed their breast cancer risk by 50 to 70 percent, a study from Michigan State University in East Lansing notes. Cabbage has phytochemicals that may ward off the disease. And it may lower your cholesterol nearly as much as oat bran, a study in Nutrition Research reveals.
Lend us an ear: Corn is healthful in all forms, be it baby corn or popcorn. Research from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, reveals that milled yellow corn products, such as cornmeal, grits and corn flour, are rich in the carotenoids zeaxanthin and lutein, two antioxidants that protect your eyes and skin from UV damage.
Mellow out with this soothing snack. Pumpkin seeds are rich in the calming amino acid tryptophan. The seeds also deliver phytosterols that may help lower cholesterol and help fend off certain cancers. Smashing!
