(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) — Taylor Swift has met nearly ever celebrity in Nashville and Hollywood, but even she has butterflies about her first brush with royalty come next month.
"I'm really excited. I'm going to be playing at the Winter Whites Gala at Kensington, so I'm really stoked," the winner of the CMA's Pinnacle Award told BBC 2 Radio Wednesday. "This is my first, like, thing I've performed at for any kind of royal engagement and I'm very, very honored."
The Winter Whites Gala will take place at Royal Albert Hall, and Prince William is said to be attending. Members of the public can buy tickets, and all proceeds will benefit the charity that the prince and Kate Middleton support, Centrepoint, which supports homeless young people.
But Swift, 23, admitted that she has been "asking" around about the protocol for greeting members of the royal family.
"I think I'm just really safe if I just like, shake hands and be polite," she said.
Then, when pressed to discuss what she planned to call the prince, she admitted that she wasn't sure.
"See, I think that's being presumptuous in that, assuming I'll meet them," she explained. "I think first I would just be polite enough to not assume I'm going to get to meet them."

In Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition's The Peak Report, an FAO economist discusses upcoming food prices.
Abdolreza Abbassian is a senior grain economist with the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the FAO Secretary of the Intergovernmental Group on Grains. Abdolreza leads the short-term outlook team of FAO, which is responsible for the publication of Food Outlook, FAO's leading bi-annual publication on market outlook for food commodities.
With food prices rising steadily in the first half of 2011, where are markets headed? What is the driver of this market?
Since August of 2010 food and grain prices have been increasing quickly and steadily for reasons such as unfavorable weather and natural disasters, which have happened in many parts of the world. When compared to other closely related markets—such as energy—grain prices have been increasing much faster and at more dramatic rates. Poor climate conditions resulted in a supply shortfall, pushing up prices.
In spite of supply problems, food crisis has been avoided during 2010/11 marketing season mostly because of a large inventory of major cereals carried over from the previous season. However, as we move into the 2011/12 season, we are witnessing a substantial reduction in the size of ending inventories, of corn in particular.
While in previous years, price hikes have been closely related not only to supply problems but also to demand factors, such as the fast expanding biofuel sector, the price surge in 2010/11 has been largely due to supply shortfalls.
What will farmers notice when it comes to their inputs? What is on the horizon for agriculture?
As farmers look to the potential input of their operations, the price uncertainty makes it next to impossible to know what prices they will receive for their products, which creates the largest area of concern—which crop do I farm—corn or soybeans? It is becoming increasingly more difficult for farmers to make choices on which crop to plant, how much of that crop to plant and what their expected yields may be—a problem without any near-term solution.
Looking at the overall prices of grains, farmers can find a strong point. The high prices we are currently experiencing are likely to stay high for quite some time. This is because nothing on the ground in terms of supply and demand fundamentals has really changed in recent years. In addition, a continuing depletion of world inventories is contributing to more supply uncertainly and hence more price volatility.
What are the key findings from the latest Food Outlook Report?
- Dairy: World production is expected to increase by 2% to 724 million tons, an increase influenced by dairy producers in developing countries. Import demand of dairy products is projected to increase by 5% to 48.3 million tons in fluid milk equivalent. These changes should carry with them a positive outlook for international trade, though much still depends on climate conditions. Poor weather could drive feed prices higher and influence world trade.
- Meat: Due to high feed prices, diseases and diminishing animal inventories, the expansion of global meat production will be limited to 1%, to 294 million tons in 2011. This small increase is driven mostly by poultry and pork,
- Corn and Soybeans: Delays in spring plantings forced FAO to describe the outlook for supply and demand of corn and soybeans as more tentative than normal for this time of the year. Nonetheless, FAO expects corn production in major producing countries, as well as globally, to register a modest growth in 2011 compared to 2010.

Those not mentioned I intend to leave alone. Obviously, I'd also change the include files (and any files referencing them) to match. The aim is that each filename will be either a) the name of a command (explain, analyze, vacuum) or b) a type/class of database object. (async.c would remain an exception to this) The new table.c should be amenable to quite a bit of clearing up. I expect that it might come out at around 9000 lines before that's done, which is quite long, but it would at least be a well-defined subsystem. command.c ALTER TABLE -> table.c portal -> portal.c LOCK -> lock.c creatinh.c all code -> table.c dbcommands.c rename to database.c (see below) define.c see below indexcmds.c rename to index.c (see below) proclang.c case_translate_language_name currently also in define.c remove.c see below rename.c update_ri_trigger_args -> trigger.c renameatt, renamerel -> table.c define.c and remove.c These files currently support the "smaller" entities. These could obviously be split out, so that we have function.c, operator.c, opclass.c, aggregate.c . This adds more files, but has the merit of making it obvious where any further future support for these entities should go. Any feelings about this? renamed files I know that "renamed" files in CVS will lose their history (for tracability we presumably wouldn't rename them in the repository), so I accept that it may not be a great idea to rename them, but it seems a little redundant to use commands/dbcommands.c rather than commands/database.c. As I'm new to this kind of change, I assume that I'd just submit a normal context diff for this and rely on it not getting tangled up with any other patches to these files? Or is this *too* radical a reshuffle? :-) John

Same-store sales --- or sales at stores open at least a year --- are regarded by Wall Street analysts as a strong indicator of a retailer's performance. (Same-store sales are also referred to as comp-store sales.)
An Associated Press story noted that the TJX gain was below outside expectations. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a 3.6 percent increase, that story noted.
Total November sales were $2.2 billion, up 7 percent from the comparable four-week period in 2011, TJX said in a press release.
In a statement, TJX chief executive Carol Meyrowitz said: "We are pleased that business trends in the second half of the month were strong, leading to our comp store sales for November coming in higher than we expected at a 3 percent increase. Business throughout the Thanksgiving week and weekend was robust, even as we remained true to our off-price practice of offering great values every day, and stayed out of the fray of Black Friday promotions. Customer traffic drove the comp increase again this month as consumers continued to be drawn to the extreme values on our compelling, always-fresh, branded merchandise mix. We continue to be excited about our prospects for December and the fourth quarter: our marketing campaigns will be seen by more consumers; we have fantastic gift-giving initiatives underway in our stores; and we'll be offering amazing values to consumers! The holiday selling season is off to a very good start, and I am convinced we will continue to bring new customers into our stores and keep them coming back long after December."

New Double-Ended Ferry Crosses Same-Name River at the Atlantic Coast
The Gironde Delta, Europe's largest estuary in the south-west of , is well- known not only among wine connoisseurs. The region, synonymous with high-class wines, is situated in the Département Gironde, directly at the Atlantic coast. A ferry service runs across a six-kilometer stretch between the picturesque towns of Verdon sur Mer and Royan. This ferry connection saves passengers a detour of approximately 155 kilometers and/or a car trip lasting some three hours. The double-ended ferry La Gironde, fitted with Voith Schneider Propellers (VSP), entered service in 2002. Now it will receive a sister ship, also installed with VSPs.
Owing to large tidal differences, the river mouth of the Gironde into the is characterized by strong currents. Varying flow directions and fierce, blustery winds aggravate ferry traffic. Already during the construction of "La Gironde" criteria such as high sailing stability and reliability proved to be the main incentive for the ship owner to decide in favor of the Voith Schneider Propeller as the ferry's propulsion system. Independently of the direction of prevailing currents, the VSP operates with continuously high efficiency and thus ensures a safe and economical ferry connection.
Just like the first ferry, the new ship specifies a draught limit of only 2.60 meters. "As a result of this limitation and the required sailing speed of at least 13.6 knots, the drive of the new ferry had to be divided into four VSPs size 21R5/135-2", explains Peter Sartori of Voith Turbo Schneider Propulsion. The new ferry will be built at the French shipyard Chantier Piriou in , and is expected to take up service in spring 2010. It is owned by the public authority Conseil Général de la Gironde, which also operates the sister ship "La Gironde." As a preventive measure, the authority has ordered a fifth propeller as a spare.
The offers room for 600 passengers and 138 cars or alternatively six trucks plus 93 cars. It is 78 meters long and 18.3 meters wide. In order to ensure a swift crossing of the six kilometer-wide river, the ship is designed for a target speed of 13.6 knots. In recent years, ferry traffic has increased significantly, not least because of the area's growing popularity with tourists. Each ferry gets through approximately 6 000 operating hours per year.

June 9, 2009
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Five former or future Penn State women's lacrosse players will take part, either as a participant or a coach, in the 2009 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Cup, scheduled for June 17-27 in Prague, the Czech Republic. Nittany Lions Michele DeJuliis (United States), Jessi Lieb (United States), Katie Guy (Canada), Patty Kloidt (Canada), and Jen Johnson (Ireland) will vie for the coveted title of world champion.
All games at the 2009 FIL World Cup, which will feature match-ups between 16 teams from around the world, will be played at the SK Slavia Praha Sport Centre, one of the largest athletic facilities in the historic capital city. Australia is the defending World Cup title winner, ending the United States' four-year championship run in 2005 in Annapolis, Md.
Michele DeJuliis, a 1998 Penn State grad, is one of the greatest players in the storied history of Nittany Lion women's lacrosse. A two-time US Lacrosse All-American and three-time Brine/IWLCA All-American, she ranks prominently in several career statistical categories, including seventh in points (203), eighth in goals (142), and 10th in assists (tie, 61). DeJuliis was inducted into the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2008. An alternate on the 2005 World Cup team, DeJuliis is the senior member of the 2009 squad.
A member of the 2010 Penn State recruiting class, Katie Guy has fashioned an impressive lacrosse resume over the course of her young career. Competing for the Oshawa Lady Blue Knights Lacrosse Club, the Whitby, Ontario native helped the U15 Rep team capture three gold medals and one silver at Provincial Championships. After graduating to the U19 squad, Guy won Provincials and a title at the Ontario Summer Games. She spent the summer of 2008 not just playing for the U19 Canadian Team but starting. At 16 years of age, she was the team's youngest player. Ironically, Guy's first contest for Team Canada at the 2009 FIL World Cup will be against defending champion Australia, a squad coached by Sue Sofarnos, mother of Hayley Sofarnos, another 2010 Nittany Lion recruit.
Patty Kloidt, a four-year varsity letter winner and a 1994 all-region selection at Penn State, will serve as an assistant coach for Team Canada. Currently the head women's lacrosse coach at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., she led the Continentals to a Division III national championship in 2008. In seven seasons at Hamilton, she has compiled a .738 winning percentage and eight of Kloidt's players have earned a total of nine All-America honors. The 2008 IWLCA Division III Coach of the Year also coached three straight Liberty League Players of the Year (2006-08).
Jen Johnson, a four-year letterwinner (1996-99) for the Nittany Lion lacrosse team, will play for Ireland after representing Canada in past international competitions. Penn State's leading scorer in 1998 (73 points) and 1999 (70 points), Johnson is ranked 10th in points (200) and goals (tie, 136) and eighth in assists (64) all-time.

Right, but there has to be more too it than that, since my instrument with absolute black (ie. inside a black bag) doesn't take more than 30 seconds to respond, yet when presented with the screensaver pattern, sometimes takes over 60 seconds to respond.
May I suggest this feature in Argyll?:- Allow an option to take multiple readings at low IRE patches and average them?
Hmm, maybe. The thing is, when the reading is subject to quantization, averaging multiple readings may not actually work, since each reading may get rounded to the same value, and there is nothing to average between. I'm not sure how many people are prepared to put up with readings that take over a minute each either ! Graeme Gill.

Dr.Horndeski is the best Doctor for me. I dont have to lose weight in order for him to give the best results as possible. His work is awesome. Dr Horndeski conducts the breast augmentation with what he calls the donut incisions (no lateral scars). Simply beautiful breast. Your man wouldnt be able to tell you got work done. Men are so squimish about augmented scars so Im concerned about this as well. So glad and super excited I found Dr. Horndeski.

Pandora Media, the biggest Internet radio service, dropped in late trading after listener growth missed some analysts' estimates. Quarterly profit beat projections and the company raised its 2014 outlook.
Active listeners grew 7.5 percent to 76.4 million users in the second quarter, the Oakland-based company said Thursday. That was shy of the 76.6 million estimate of Corey Barrett, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, and a projection of 77 million by Mark Mahaney at RBC Capital Markets.
"Usage is stagnating, I think that's the fundamental challenge — competition has been starting to take its toll," Rich Greenfield, an analyst with BTIG, said in a telephone interview. "That's going to scare the market for what's supposed to be a rapid-growth Internet company."
Larger companies are building services to compete with Pandora, such as Google's purchase of Songza Media and Apple's acquisition of Beats Electronics. The number of Pandora listeners and the amount of time they spend using the service is little changed on a monthly basis from December to June, said Greenfield, who rates the stock a sell.
The stock fell 10.5 percent to $25.70 in extended trading after the results were announced. The shares rose 4.3 percent to $28.72 at the close in New York.
Pandora expects to earn 5 cents to 8 cents a share on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, with sales of $235 million to $240 million. Analysts had projected 8 cents and $234 million.
For the year, the company projects 16 cents to 19 cents a share in profit, excluding items, up from the 14 cents to 18 cents it projected in April.
Second-quarter earnings came to 4 cents a share, excluding items. Analysts predicted 3 cents, the average of 27 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales grew 43 percent $218.9 million. Mobile revenue rose 59 percent to $167.5 million. The company is among the top five mobile advertising platforms, with Google and Facebook in the lead, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2005-45
November 7, 2005
2006 Limitations Adjusted As Provided in Section 415(d), etc. [1]
Table of Contents
Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) provides for dollar limitations on benefits and contributions under qualified retirement plans. Section 415 also requires that the Commissioner annually adjust these limits for cost-of-living increases. Other limitations applicable to deferred compensation plans are also affected by these adjustments. Many of the limitations will change for 2006. For most of the limitations, the increase in the cost-of-living index met the statutory thresholds that trigger their adjustment. Furthermore, several of these limitations, set by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), are scheduled to increase at the beginning of 2006. For example, under EGTRRA, the limitation under § 402(g)(1) of the Code on the exclusion for elective deferrals described in § 402(g)(3) is increased from $14,000 to $15,000. This limitation affects elective deferrals to section 401(k) plans and to the Federal Government's Thrift Savings Plan, among other plans.
Effective January 1, 2006, the limitation on the annual benefit under a defined benefit plan under § 415(b)(1)(A) is increased from $170,000 to $175,000. For participants who separated from service before January 1, 2006, the limitation for defined benefit plans under § 415(b)(1)(B) is computed by multiplying the participant's compensation limitation, as adjusted through 2005, by 1.0383.
The limitation for defined contribution plans under § 415(c)(1)(A) is increased from $42,000 to $44,000.
The Code provides that various other dollar amounts are to be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the dollar limitation of § 415(b)(1)(A). These dollar amounts and the adjusted amounts are as follows:
The annual compensation limit under §§ 401(a)(17), 404(l), 408(k)(3)(C), and 408(k)(6)(D)(ii) is increased from $210,000 to $220,000.
The dollar limitation under § 416(i)(1)(A)(i) concerning the definition of key employee in a top-heavy plan is increased from $135,000 to $140,000.
The dollar amount under § 409(o)(1)(C)(ii) for determining the maximum account balance in an employee stock ownership plan subject to a 5-year distribution period is increased from $850,000 to $885,000, while the dollar amount used to determine the lengthening of the 5-year distribution period is increased from $170,000 to $175,000.
The limitation used in the definition of highly compensated employee under § 414(q)(1)(B) is increased from $95,000 to $100,000.
The annual compensation limitation under § 401(a)(17) for eligible participants in certain governmental plans that, under the plan as in effect on July 1, 1993, allowed cost-of-living adjustments to the compensation limitation under the plan under § 401(a)(17) to be taken into account, is increased from $315,000 to $325,000.
The compensation amount under § 408(k)(2)(C) regarding simplified employee pensions (SEPs) remains unchanged at $450.
The compensation amounts under § 1.61-21(f)(5)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations concerning the definition of "control employee" for fringe benefit valuation purposes remains unchanged at $85,000. The compensation amount under § 1.61-21(f)(5)(iii) is increased from $170,000 to $175,000.
The limitation under § 408(p)(2)(E) regarding SIMPLE retirement accounts remains unchanged at $10,000.
The Code, as amended by EGTRRA, specifies the applicable dollar amount for a particular year for certain limitations. These applicable dollar amounts are as follows:
The limitation under § 402(g)(1) on the exclusion for elective deferrals described in § 402(g)(3) is increased from $14,000 to $15,000.
The limitation on deferrals under § 457(e)(15) concerning deferred compensation plans of state and local governments and tax-exempt organizations is increased from $14,000 to $15,000.
The dollar limitation under § 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for catch-up contributions to an applicable employer plan other than a plan described in § 401(k)(11) or 408(p) for individuals aged 50 or over is increased from $4,000 to $5,000. The dollar limitation under § 414(v)(2)(B)(ii) for catch-up contributions to an applicable employer plan described in § 401(k)(11) or 408(p) for individuals aged 50 or over is increased from $2,000 to $2,500.
Administrators of defined benefit or defined contribution plans that have received favorable determination letters should not request new determination letters solely because of yearly amendments to adjust maximum limitations in the plans.

In bankruptcy, a homestead exemption protects equity in your home. Although there's no homestead exemption in New Jersey, you can use the federal bankruptcy exemptions instead, which protect some home equity. Married couples can also protect their home from creditors of individual (but not joint) debts if the home is held as a tenancy by the entirety.
For information about how the homestead exemption works in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, see The Homestead Exemption in Bankruptcy. For more articles on exemptions, see our Bankruptcy Exemptions area.
Under the New Jersey exemption system, there is no homestead exemption. However, a married debtor can exempt his or her survivorship interest in property held as tenants by the entirety with the debtor's spouse, but only to the extent of the debtor's individual debt. See below.
Some states allow married debtors who file joint bankruptcy to double their exemptions; however, in New Jersey, only married debtors who hold property as tenants by the entirety have any homestead available, and only to the extent of debt they do not hold jointly.
In New Jersey, the homestead exemption applies to real property, including your home, if you own the home jointly with your spouse as tenants by the entirety. The exemption is limited to the amount of debt each debtor holds individually.
In New Jersey, you can use either the state exemption system or the federal bankruptcy exemption system (but you can't pick and choose different exemptions from each system – you have to use all state exemptions or all federal exemptions.)
The federal bankruptcy homestead exemption amount is $22,975. (This amount changes every three years. For the most recent figure, see The Federal Bankruptcy Exemptions.) The exemption may be used for homes, condos, co-ops, mobile homes, and burial plots. Married couples may double this exemption. You can find the federal bankruptcy homestead exemption at 11 U.S.C. §522(d)(1) and (5).
(To learn more about which state exemptions apply to you, see Which Exemptions Can You Use in Bankruptcy?)
In New Jersey, there is no homestead exemption except the protection offered to tenants by the entirety – you don't have to file a homestead declaration in order to claim the homestead exemption in bankruptcy.
If property is held as a tenancy in the entirety, it means the property is jointly owned by a married couple as a single marital entity, not as individuals. New Jersey law exempts a homestead held as tenants by the entirety as long as the debts are not joint debts. This might help if one spouse has lots of individual debts and files alone. It also might help outside of the bankruptcy context.
New Jersey's exemption law does not include a homestead exemption, but the case of Freda v. Commercial Trust Co. of New Jersey, 570 A.2d 409 (N.J. 1990), provides an exemption for married couples who own property as tenants by the entirety.

Does anybody have a type of inexpensive fitted diaper that they like? I don't want a pocket or AIOs...I just want a fitted diaper I can use with Thirsties duo covers. I have used Thirsties Fab Fitted but didn't like them as they were not absorbent enough. I'd prefer to support a WAHM who makes them, but I'm open to whatever.
Any suggestions?
Dream-eze are nicely absorbent. They were my favorite dipe once upon a time, and then they changed their pattern. They're still good, just not my fave any more.
Between now and tomorrow morning, Babyhalfoff.com has them for $10/dipe.

I have always wanted to try Green Mountain Diapers fitteds. THey are made from the prefolds that they sell (which I've used for DS's whole life and I love).
They will fit great under Thirsties and they are inexpensive too.

The Town
Wick is an estuary town and a royal burgh in the north of the Highland council area of Scotland. Historically, it is one of two burghs within the county of Caithness, of which Wick was the county town. The town straddles the River Wick and extends along both sides of Wick Bay. Wick Locality had a population of 7,333 at the time of the 2001 census.
Pulteneytown, which was developed on the south side of the river by the British Fisheries Society during the 19th century, was officially merged into the burgh in 1902.
The town is on the main highway (the A99-A9 road) linking John o' Groats with southern Britain. The Far North railway line links Wick railway station with southern Scotland and with Thurso, the other burgh of Caithness. Wick Airport is on Wick's northern outskirts. The airport has two usable runways. A third is derelict.
The main offices of The John O'Groat Journal and The Caithness Courier are located in Wick, as are Caithness General Hospital (run by NHS Highland), the Wick Carnegie Library and local offices of the Highland Council. Wick Sheriff Court is one of 16 sheriff courts serving the sheriffdom of Grampian, Highland and Islands.
The Parish
Wick is a parish facing the North Sea located in the Highland Council Area, some 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Thurso and 29 miles (47 km) northeast of Helmsdale.
Prior to 1975 the parish was located in the old county of Caithness, which was replaced in that year by the Highland Region and in 1996 by the unitary authority named the Highland Council Area.
The parish has an area of 194.4 sq. km (75 sq. miles). As well as the town of Wick and its environs of Banks, Broadhaven, Pulteneytown and Old Wick, the parish includes the hamlets of Sarclet, Sibster, Staxigoe, Reiss and the even smaller settlements of Bilbster, Gansclet, Haster, Noss Head, Tannach, Thrumster, Ulbster, Whiterow and Winless.

A Jefferson County man was arrested Monday after he allegedly tried to cash a stolen check.
A Jefferson County man was arrested Monday after he allegedly tried to cash a stolen check.
Bryan McDonel, 33, was taken into custody at the Walmart Supercenter after an employee called the company named on the check and was told the check had been stolen, Detective Brad Vilches said in a probable cause affidavit.
Vilches reported that McDonel had formerly worked for the Little Rock company. While the owner was checking his credit card receipts, he noticed several unauthorized transactions that he believed McDonel had been responsible for.
In addition to the $1,300 check that McDonel tried to cash, the company said a number of other checks were missing.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set a $25,000 bond for McDonel on Tuesday after ruling prosecutors had probable cause to charge him with forgery.
Bridgforth appointed the Public Defender�s Office to represent McDonel and told him to come back to court Jan. 15.


text: With the current relationship that Uber has created with drivers, drivers often cannot take days off, much less go on vacation. Yet having time off to spend with family or just to relax is essential to human well-being. If the legal actions that are seeking to reclassify Uber drivers into employees succeed, then drivers may finally be able to gain vacation time without sacrificing the ability to pay living expenses. However, even if these lawsuits do not succeed, drivers can demand better pay from the company through a united drivers' organization. By putting pressure on the company to improve the contract with drivers, drivers might be able to earn enough to live on and even be able to take time off without risking their financial stability. This is a basic right that all workers should have.

Sanctions are one of the EU's tools to promote the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP): peace, democracy and the respect for the rule of law, human rights and international law. They are always part of a comprehensive policy approach involving political dialogue and complementary efforts.
EU sanctions are not punitive, but designed to bring about a change in policy or activity by the target country, entities or individuals. Measures are therefore always targeted at such policies or activities, the means to conduct them and those responsible for them. At the same time, the EU makes every effort to minimise adverse consequences for the civilian population or for legitimate activities.
The EU implements all sanctions imposed by the UN. In addition, the EU may reinforce UN sanctions by applying stricter and additional measures. Finally, where the EU deems it necessary, it may decide to impose autonomous sanctions.

Hello to the contractors,
We live in a century home in Manitoba, and are looking at options to replace the boiler which is approximately 20 years old. Currently we use window a/c units (2) on our 2nd level.
I started researching options for a/c, such as the ductless, but stumbled across the SpacePak website and was intrigued.
My question is, has anyone out there installed this, and is it adequate for a living area of approximately 2100 sq feet?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Many thanks.
That system will not do the job properly. You can run better system than that. Unfortunately I live in Ontario I do get close to there some times when I go fishing though.

text: Lawrence Spencer Museum Renovation Pushes Art Programs Into Lawrence's Public Spaces By Stephen Koranda • Jul 21, 2015 Stephen Koranda The galleries in the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas are closed for renovation, but that doesn't mean the end of art programs. Some of it has been pushed out on to the streets of Lawrence. As KPR's Stephen Koranda reports, the Spencer Museum may be closed, but it's still keeping art in the public eye. The Spencer's renovation is not just a couple coats of paint or new carpet. KU's art museum is getting a major overhaul. On this day, cranes are setting up scaffolding. They'll be cutting holes in the exterior wall to install massive windows. Lawrence Is The Most Expensive Place To Live In Kansas By Associated Press • May 5, 2014 New figures from the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis show that Lawrence is the most expensive metro area in Kansas. The bureau's report shows that although the city's cost of living is lower than the national average, it's higher than in any other metro area in Kansas. Lawrence residents also earn less than residents in other Kansas communities. The new figures are part of a project by the Bureau of Economic Analysis designed to give people a better idea of how much it costs to live in various metro areas. Delware Tribe Seeks To Build Casino In North Lawrence By Associated Press • Nov 11, 2013 The leader of the Oklahoma-based Delaware Tribe says the tribe could pursue a casino in Kansas, but it also has a broader vision of providing services to Native Americans. In an "open letter to the people of Kansas," Chief Paula Pechonick addressed speculation about the tribe's plans for 90 acres it just purchased in North Lawrence. The Delaware's efforts have drawn opposition from the federally recognized tribes of Kansas, which all have casinos. Those tribes say it will cause them economic hardship if the Delaware open a casino in Kansas. Lawrence Looking At Natural Gas To Fuel New City Buses By Associated Press • Aug 26, 2013 City leaders in Lawrence are putting the brakes on plans to purchase new buses for their public transportation fleet. They're giving another look at using compressed natural gas as a power source. The city had planned to buy three diesel and diesel-electric hybrid buses, but it's re-thinking the purchase because of the lower cost of natural gas.A feasibility study four years ago compared the fuel costs, but that was before natural gas prices dropped and supplies increased.The average price for diesel fuel nationally is about $3.90 per gallon.

Sound Advice: New Ways, by Solvent
Recording artist Jason Amm creates a soundtrack for the story of modular synths.
New Ways is more than just the sixth full-length release from Solvent, the stage name for Toronto-based producer and electronic musician Jason Amm; it is also the soundtrack for the new documentary I Dream of Wires, about the rise, fall, and resurgence of the modular synthesizer. Originally brought on to score the soundtrack, Amm would end up producing, co-writing, and conducting interviews as the documentary developed, becoming intimately involved with many aspects of its creation. In this way, New Ways became not only a soundtrack, but also an exploration of Amm's deep and evolving creative relationship with the modular synth. It was also an opportunity for him to once again release music on his own Suction Records label.
Amm's work as Solvent has always been deeply invested in the possibilities of analogue equipment, but New Ways represents the first time Solvent has allowed himself to fall down the modular synth black hole, something he had previously resisted doing. Through some lucky finds and generous loans, he assembled a collection of pieces, including a classic vintage Moog System 15, and began to explore: the soundtrack is the result of that process of experimentation.
New Ways is both cheery and alien, familiar and cold. There is a sense of excitement that permeates the tones and textures, a newness that is occasionally tense and shot through with trepidation, but consistently surges forward into new territory. The aural landscape always falls short of being truly welcoming—even the brightest passages are often pierced through with little shards of dread. There's a wonderful playfulness to the record, which finds its foil in this element of brittle danger.
I Dream of Wires is currently available on DVD and Blu-Ray in a four-hour, Hardcore Edition, and a theatrical release (and shorter cut) will be premiering in the spring.

AMD's Radeon HD 6970 & Radeon HD 6950: Paving The Future For AMDby Ryan Smith on December 15, 2010 12:01 AM EST
Another New Anti-Aliasing Mode: Enhanced Quality AA
With the 6800 series AMD introduced Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA), a low-complexity post-processing anti-aliasing filter. As a post-processing filter it worked with a wide variety of games and APIs, and in most cases the performance overhead was not very severe. However it's not the only new anti-aliasing mode that AMD has been working on.
New with the 6900 series is a mode AMD is calling Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing. If you recall NVIDIA's Coverage Sample Anti-Aliasing (CSAA) introduced with the GeForce 8800GTX, then all of this should sound quite familiar – in fact it's basically the same thing.
Under traditional MSAA, for a pixel covered by 2 or more triangles/fragments, 2, 4, or 8 subpixel samples are taken to determine what the final pixel should be. In the process the color of the triangle and the Z/depth of the triangle are both sampled and stored, and at the end of the process the results are blended together to determine the final pixel value. This process works well for resolving aliasing along polygon edges at a fraction of the cost of true super sampling, but it's still expensive. Collecting and storing the Z and color values requires extra memory to store the values and extra memory bandwidth to work with the values. Ultimately while we need enough samples to determine colors of the involved triangles, we do not always need a great deal of them. With a few color/Z samples we have all of the color data we need in most cases, however the "hard" part of anti-aliasing becomes what the proper blending of color values should be.
1 Pixel Covred by 2 Triangles/Fragments
Thus we have EQAA, a compromise on the idea. Color/Z samples are expensive, but just checking if a triangle covers part of a subpixel is very cheap. If we have enough color/Z samples to get the necessary color information, then just doing additional simple subpixel coverage checks would allow us better determine what percentage of a pixel is covered by a given polygon, which we can then use to blend colors in a more accurate fashion. For example with 4x MSAA we can only determine if a pixel is 0/25/50/75/100 percent covered by a triangle, but with 4x EQAA where we take 4 color samples and then 4 additional coverage-only samples, we can determine blending values down to 0/12/25/37/50/62/75/87/100 percent coverage, the same amount of accuracy as using 8x MSAA. Thus in the right situation we can have quality similar to 8x MSAA for only a little over 4x MSAA's cost.
In reality of course this doesn't always work out as well. The best case scenario is that the additional coverage samples are almost as good as having additional color/Z samples, while the worst case scenario is that additional coverage samples are practically worthless. This depends on a game-by-game, if not pixel-by-pixel basis. In practice additional coverage samples are a way to slightly improve MSAA quality for a very, very low cost.
While NVIDIA has had the ability to take separate coverage samples since G80, AMD has not had this ability until now. With the 6900 hardware their ROPs finally gain this ability.
Beyond that, AMD and NVIDIA's implementations are nearly identical except for the naming convention. Both can take a number of coverage samples independent of the color/Z samples based on the setting used; the only notable difference we're aware of is that like AMD's other AA modes, their EQAA mode can be programmed to use a custom sample pattern.
As is the case with NVIDIA's CSAA, AMD's EQAA mode is available to DirectX applications or can be forced through the drivers. DirectX applications can set it through the Multisample Quality attribute, which is usually abstracted to list the vendor's name for the mode in a game's UI. Otherwise it can be forced via the Catalyst Control Center, either by forcing an AA mode, or as is the case with NVIDIA, enhancing the AA mode by letting the game set the AA mode while the driver overrides the game and specifies different Multisample Quality attribute. Thus the "enhance application settings" AA mode is new to AMD with the 6900 series.
To be honest we're a bit ruffled by the naming choice. True, NVIDIA did go and have to pick daft names for their CSAA modes (when is 8x not 8 sample MSAA?), but ultimately CSAA and EQAA are virtually identical. NVIDIA has a 4 year lead on AMD here, and we'd just as well use NVIDIA's naming conventions for consistency. Instead we have the following.
|Coverage Sampling Modes: CSAA vs EQAA
(Color + Coverage)
AMD ends up having 1 mode NVIDIA doesn't, 2xEQ, which is 2x MSAA + 2x cover samples; meanwhile NVIDIA has 16x (4x MSAA + 12 cover samples) and 32x (8x MSAA + 24 cover samples). Finally, as we'll see, just as is the case for NVIDIA additional coverage samples are equally cheap for AMD.

versesuvius - Friday, December 17, 2010 - linkAnanke,
I am not very knowledgeable about this, but I don't think a modern GPU can fit inside a CPU for now. A better idea would be a console on a card. The motherboards on the consoles are not much bigger than the large graphic cards of today. A console card for $100 would be great. I am sure that there is no technical obstacles that the average electronic wizard cannot overcome, doing that.
Sure, there is a use for everything. I can imagine that every single human being on earth can find a use for a Ferrari, but the point is that even those who do have it, do not use it as often as their other car, (Toyota, VW or whatever). In fact, there is rarely a Ferrari that has more than 20,000 km on it, and even that is put on it by successive owners, not one. The average total an ordinary person can stand a Ferrari is 5000 KM. (Disclaimer: I do not have one. I only read something to that effect somewhere). Having said that, I do have a sense of the "need for speed". I can remember sitting in front of the university's 80286 waiting for the FE program to spit out the results, one node at a time, click, click, ... . You have millions of polygons, we can have billions of mesh nodes, and that even does not even begin to model a running faucet. How's that for the need for speed. I do appreciate the current speeds. However, the CPU deal was and is a straight one. The graphic card deals, today, are not. To be clear, the "and" in "High End"s and "Fool"s is an inclusive one. "Someone will pay for it", was also initiated in the eighties of the last century. By the way, the big question "can it play crysis", will no longer be. Crysis 2 is coming to the consoles. Reply
Quidam67 - Friday, December 17, 2010 - link"But can it play Crysis" should be in the Urban dictionary as a satirical reference on graphics code that combines two potent attributes: 1) is way ahead of its time in terms of what current hardware can support 2) is so badly written and optimised that even hardware that should be able to run it still can't.
In 1000 years time when Organic Graphics cards that you can plug into your head still can't run it smoothly @2560*1600 60fps they will realise the joke was on us and that the code itself was written to run more and more needless loops in order to overwhelm any amount of compute-resource thrown at it.

marc1000 - Friday, December 17, 2010 - linkI swear I've read ALL the comments to see if anyone already pointed it... but no one did.
I feel a bit disappointed with this launch too (I have a 5770 and wanted to get 6950 but was wanting a bigger increase %-wise). But one thing interesting it the number of Stream Processors in the new gpus. By the "pure processor" count this number decreased from 1600 SPs on 5870 to 1536 SPs on 6970. But the size of the VLIW processors changed too. It was 5 SPs on 5870 and now is 4 SPs.
So we have:
hd5870 = 1600 SPs / 5 = 320 "processors"
hd6970 = 1536 SPs / 4 = 384 "processors"
if we take that 384 and multiply by 5, we would have 1920 SPs on the new generation (on par with many rumors). this is 20% more shaders. and considering AMD is saying that the new VLIW4 is 10% faster than VLIW5 we should have more than 20% increase in all situations. but this is only true in the minority of tests (like crysis at 2560x1660 where it is 24%, but in the same game at 1680x1050 the increase is only 16%). and at the same time the minimun FPS got better, yet in another games the difference is smaller.
but then again, I was expecting a little more. I believe the 6950 will be a worthy upgrade to me, but the expectations were so high that too much people ended a little disappointed... myself included. Reply
Sunburn74 - Tuesday, December 28, 2010 - linkWell... at least they delivered on time and didn't make you wait 6 more months to simply deliver an equivalent, if not considerably worse, product. Reply
Mr Perfect - Friday, December 17, 2010 - linkYes, the minimums are appreciated when they're included.
It would be even better if the framerates was displayed as a line graph instead of a bar graph. That way readers could tell if an average consisted of a lot of high peaks and low valleys, or really was a nice smooth experience all the way through. Some other review sites use linegraphs and while I visit Anandtech for it's timeliness, professionalism, industry insight and community involvement, I go to the other sites for the actual performance numbers. Reply
Quidam67 - Friday, December 17, 2010 - linkThere is further rationale for splitting the article. Lets say someone is googling "HD 6970 architecture" perhaps they will pick up this review, or perhaps they won't, but either way, if they see that it is actually a review on the cards, they might be inclined to bypass it in favour of a more focused piece.
And again, there is no reason why the Architecture Article can't provide a hyperlink to the review, if the reader then decides they want to see how that architecture translates into performance on the current generation of cards supporting it.
I really hope AT are reading this and giving it some consideration. As you say, they are a great sight and no one is disputing that, but it's not a religion, so you should be allowed to question it without being accused of blasphemy :O) Reply
dustcrusher - Friday, December 17, 2010 - linkIt really comes down to how important the mainstream market is. If they are a large enough segment of the market, one company using a simple, easy-to-grasp naming convention would likely grab some market share. Make it easy to buy your product and at least some people will be more likely to do so.
If not, then it's fun to talk about but not terribly important. Tech-savvy folk will buy whatever meets their needs price/performance-wise after doing research, even if a card is named the Transylvania 6-9000 or the Wankermeister GTFO. Eager to please tech-naive folk are going to buy the largest model number they can get with the money they have, because "larger model numbers = bigger/better equipment" is a long-established consumer shorthand.
I have a half-baked idea for a model numbering system that's based around the key specs of the card- it's a 5 digit system where the first digit is the hardware platform ID (like what we have now, mostly) and the other four would represent combinations of other specs (one digit could be the lowest memory clock speed and bus width would be 1, the next lowest memory clock speed and lowest bus width would be 2, etc).
No idea if this could actually be implemented- there are probably too many variables with GPU/memory clock speeds, among other things. Reply
Shinobi_III - Saturday, December 18, 2010 - linkIf you ever saw Nvidia 4xAA in action, you know it's not as smooth as the radeon implementation (especially in motion) and z-buffer miscalculations has always been a nvidia feature.
Go up a hill in Fallout New Vegas and look at Vegas in the horizon, with Nvidia cards it always looks like a disco due to meshes overlapping. Now do the same on Radeon. Reply
TheUsual - Saturday, December 18, 2010 - linkRight now, Newegg has a 6870 for $200 after rebate. Two of these makes for an awesome value at $400. The top tier of cards doesn't give a corresponding increase in performance for the extra cost. Two 6950s costs 50% more but does not give you 50% more FPS. Two GTX 460 1GBs is also a great bang for the buck at $300.
Neither of these lets you do triple SLI/XFIRE however. That would be what would be paying extra for.
My hope is that the price will drop on the 6950 by around February. By then the GTX 560 should be out and might drive prices down some. The benchmarks could change some with Sandy Bridge too, if they are currently CPU bound. Reply

Russia's ESPO to be quoted in oil price reports
ESPO stands for Eastern Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. Its daily export is at 300,000 barrels.
To win international quotation for its brand, it has to climb to at least 500,000 barrels.
This threshold may be reached by 2015.

The L.A Dodgers and Andre Ethier had concluded to a 5-year, $85 million contract extension with a vesting option for a 6th year that could push the total price north of $100 million. It's the 3rd biggest agreement in organization history behind the Matt Kemp and Kevin Brown deals and one of the 15 wealthiest contracts ever for an outfielder. Ethier was scheduled to hit free agency this offseason but instead decided to stay in L.A for a slightly healthy sum. Odds
The contract can also include a $17.5 million club option for 2018 that would instantly vest if Ethier were to reach certain plate appearance thresholds in 2017 or in 2016-17 combined, probably taking the total cost of the agreement to $100 million over 6 years.
The new contract will pay Ethier salaries of $13.5 million in 2013, $15.5 million in 2014, $18 million in both 2015 and 2016 and $17.5 million in 2017. There is a $2.5 million buyout of the club option if it doesn't vest and the club selects not to exercise it.
After Monday night's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, in which Ethier went hitless in 4 at-bats with 3 strikeouts, he declined to comment on the new contract.
"I have been instructed that I will not address … Until tomorrow," Ethier claimed. "There will be an announcement tomorrow. We're going to talk tomorrow, I promise."
Ethier, 30 years old, was an All-Star every one of the past 2 seasons, then avoided arbitration last winter by agreeing on a one year cope with a $10.95 million base salary. He entered Friday night's game against the L. A. Angels hitting .287 for the season and leading the national League with 53 RBIs regardless of wrestling since the start of June.
Ethier becomes the latest of a few young Dodgers to be locked into long-term deals that will prevent the club from losing them to free agency. Fifteen months ago, previous All-Star right-hander Chad Billingsley concluded to a 3-year, $35 million deal that didn't begin until this year, and last winter, All-Star center fielder Matt Kemp accepted the biggest contract in Dodgers history, an 8-year, $160 million agreement.
The analysts have just looked at the impact this contract will have on Josh Hamilton and the Rangers presumably one fewer suitor now but it also trickles down to the N.Y Yankees. Nick Swisher is lined up to become a free agent this winter and like Ethier, he's an excellent though not top-flight corner outfielder in his early-30s. They've produced similar offensive (127 versus. 124 wRC+ in favor of Ethier) and defensive (-12 vs. -14 DRS in favor of Swisher) numbers since the beginning of 2009, though Swisher has played in at least 150 games in each one of the last 6 seasons while Ethier has done so just two times in his career and not since 2009.
Clearly Ethier has the much better season in 2012 131 wRC+ and 2.2 fWAR versus. 105 and 0.4 for Swisher and that's part of the reason the Los Angeles Dodgers were so desperate to re-sign the player.

Actenol Side Effects
I have been on Actenol for 6 weeks and have developed constant drenching night sweats that are interfering with my sleep. Heartburn and belching have also become a problem. Is there any documentation that these problems have resulted from taking Actenol?
The research studies on Actenol did not find a higher rate of gastrointestinal side effects although an occasional person does seem to be sensitive to those particular side effects.
Sweating generally has not been reported. Did you recently become menopausal or discontinue hormone therapy? Those events could trigger night sweats. You should check with your physician about other reasons for having night sweats.

Aaron Post and his team at Bar Vision in Phoenix produce innovative bar technology — devices that track pouring measurements to prevent bartenders from over pouring. They design products that improve "pour profits" rather than detect "pour loss."
"Every industry in the world tracks its most important asset, yet the bar industry is one of the last industries to track its most important asset," said Post, explaining the company's overall concept is to teach bars how to understand numbers to keep bars profitable.
All company products are made in the Phoenix area. One of their most successful products is the pouring spout, which is custom made for each bar depending on the brands of alcohol being served. Every spout is custom designed to fit the bottle.
The company also designed a time tilt device to measure beer. Post said beer is the biggest seller, but it's also more subjected to theft. However, the device doesn't measure how much is being poured, but it measures what is being poured.
According to Post, measuring the amount of alcohol used will help bar owners save money. The system is used to notify owners of certain trends occurring in the bar scene. They can determine employee work ethic and gender ratio at certain times of the night. For instance, Post said the system records what time certain alcoholic beverages are in demand based on guy-to-girl ratio. This information helps owners keep track of their employees and profits.
The system keeps track of the time of pours. Since there is a lot of theft in the bar industry, the company constructed a system for owners to monitor when theft has occurred.
Todd Manger, bar manager at Tilted Kit in Peoria, said the system is very beneficial for managers to keep track of numbers, noting, "The system is an efficient way to continuously watch counts and provides us physical evidence."
Bartender Jackie Kopp also commented on the product's efficiency, saying, "It gives bartenders a sense of how much alcohol is being used, making it easier to count and prevent over pouring.
"Overall, you get a better visual of numbers," Kopp said.
Since 2007, Bar Vision has grown from a local business to an international manufacture. Products are sold in Greece, the Middle East and China.
In 2012, Bar Vision, located at 26 W. Lone Cactus Road in Phoenix, was featured on Spike TV's "Bar Rescue." The reality show featured bars in the U.S. seeking guidance in order to save their business. Post said he hopes to see more interest in the Phoenix area and to grow more as a company.

From Edda Manley:
January 23rd is National Handwriting Day, the birthday of John Hancock writer of the most famous signature in America.
Celebrate that you are able to write by hand! Handwrite a note to a friend, family member or colleague. Did you forget to contact someone during the holiday season? Today is a great opportunity to handwrite a short note to them.
Realize while you are writing:
- Handwriting is one of the most complex skills human beings are able to accomplish. Chimps were able to master using an ipad in 30 minutes.
- According to research done by Dr. Karin Harman James, more adult like brain connections are formed when young children write by hand. These connections are not formed when children use a keyboard or are read to.
- If you can't write in cursive, you are also unable to read anything written in cursive. Today we have many younger teachers who are not able to read cursive handwriting. The Latin based language countries (60% of world population) still honour cursive writing and ensure that their students are proficient in it. That's our competition for jobs in the future global marketplace.
- Creativity and innovation are highly valued today. When you write by hand YOU have created this, so you ARE creative.
- Writing out your feelings/ expressive writing promotes wellness.
- Handwriting helps to keep your brain sharp!
A quote from one of North America's leading neuroscientists, Dr. Norman Doidge:
"Some neuroscientists say if cursive disappears, those cognitive skills will simply be replaced by new ones, just as they have since humans began leaving their marks on cave walls. No doubt cognitive skills will be replaced by new ones. But, isn't it irresponsible to promote such changes without understanding if these changes are beneficial or harmful to the learner? It is quite possible that by relaxing handwriting standards and also by reducing practice time for penmanship, we may have hampered and in some cases damaged the learning process."

Marvel is doing some fun things with the publicity for their NOW initiative, including concocting video preview trailers for their books. They did it with X-Men Legacy, and now they've got another one, heralding the arrival of Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña on Avengers.
And after the ending of the epic Brian Michael Bendis run, and considering the critically-acclaimed success of Hickman's truly epic take on Fantastic Four, if any creator change deserved a trailer, it would be Hickman telling stories about Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

François de La Rochefoucauld's assertion that "everything happens in France" is as true now as it was 350 years ago – global culture, fashion, food and football all have a distinct French accent.
Population: 66,000,000
Area: 552,000 square kilometres
Currency: Euro (€)
Time zone: CET
"Everything happens in France," wrote François de La Rochefoucauld. The junction between northern Europe and the south, sharing land borders with seven countries and in sight of another across La Manche, l'Hexagone has long been Europe's beating heart. Global philosophies, cultures and artistic movements have emerged from this great melting pot, but its attraction and openness has at times been its downfall – France has suffered as much war as it has debated peace.
Famous figures
Global culture, sport, science and politics can all detect distinct French watermarks. Charles de Gaulle spread republican ideals, while the message of free-thinking and romance was poetically disseminated by the likes of Victor Hugo, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire and Jean-Paul Sartre. Painters (Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet), composers (Hector Berlioz, Maurice Ravel), architects (Louis Le Vau, Le Corbusier) – almost every strand of culture has a French accent. Likewise the world's great sporting events, the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship and UEFA Champions League, trace their lineage back to France.
Where do you start? With bon appetit, perhaps, that staple phrase with no interest in being confined to the blue swathes on old maps that once signified France's empire. For its purpose it cannot be bettered and, in the stomachs of many, nor can French gastronomy. With such a vast range of climates and landscape, the larder is well-stocked; and from Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin to Paul Bocuse, it has benefited from writers, chefs and artists with an alchemist's touch. Foie gras, cassoulet, choucroute, bouillabaisse, andouillette – every locality has its specialities, its own interpretations.
Football is France's most popular sport, with around two million licensed players. Yet the country has a rich tradition in team sport generally – Les Bleus were runners-up at the 2011 IRB Rugby World Cup and are reigning men's Olympic handball champions. France also has a prolific production line of basketball players, cyclists and motorsport drivers, while tennis's French Open is one of four Grand Slam tournaments. The biggest annual sporting event is cycling's Tour de France, which attracts in the region of 12 million spectators.
The birthplace of the world's three biggest football tournaments, France had to wait until 1984 to win one as Michel Platini's finals-record nine goals helped Les Bleus to UEFA European Championship glory. Zinédine Zidane was the talisman at the turn of the century, inspiring France to victory on home turf at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and then in the EURO two years later. Indeed they have been continental title holders in every age group while French clubs have triumphed in the men's and women's UEFA Champions Leagues.
Elite French football remained amateur until 1932/33, but their clubs were up to speed by the advent of European football and Stade de Reims were runners-up to Real Madrid CF in the inaugural European Champion Clubs' Cup final. It was not until 1993 that a French side ruled Europe as Olympique de Marseille, traditional domestic powerhouses with AS Saint-Étienne, beat AC Milan. Olympique Lyonnais lifted seven successive titles at the start of the century, but more recently Ligue 1 has been noted for its competitiveness, with five different champions in as many seasons.
The pantheon of French football greats is well subscribed, Didier Deschamps, Jean-Pierre Papin, Just Fontaine and Lilian Thuram among them, though three figures loom largest – one for each of Les Bleus' halcyon eras. Raymond Kopa played for the fine Reims and Madrid sides of the 1950s, also helping France make their international breakthrough at the 1958 World Cup, finishing third.
Platini's emergence ushered in the next apogee, the three-time Ballon d'Or winner never more potent than at the 1984 UEFA European Championship when the hosts prevailed. His tally of nine finals goals, from midfield, has never been bettered – similarly, Fontaine's 1958 haul of 13 remains a World Cup record. Then there is Zidane, 'Zizou', the driving force behind France's pre-eminence at the turn of the century. Kopa, Platini, Zidane, men with roots in Poland, Italy and Algeria – France the melting pot.

Before 1978, registered California voters needed medical or out-of-town excuses to vote absentee. But the tides have turned, with election boards recognizing the cost savings of absentee ballots. In 2001, a law made it possible for any Californian to register as a permanent absentee voter, and last year the program was renamed "vote-by-mail." The state's vote-by-mail numbers rose from 24 percent in the November 2000 election to 41.5 percent in the statewide election six years later.
County elections officials began mailing ballots to permanent vote-by-mailers on Monday, 29 days before the Feb. 5 primary. The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot for the February primary is Jan. 29. Ballots must be received by 8 p.m. close of polls on Election Day.
The fastest growing portion of the California electorate is those registered as "decline-to-state," which was at 19.33 percent Dec. 7, up from 16.28 percent in January 2004.
Until a little more than 10 years ago, the disadvantage in declining to state was not being eligible to vote in the primary elections. In 1996, Proposition 198 changed primaries to be open so all voters could vote for any candidate; however, this was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court because it "violated a political party's First Amendment right of association." Now decline-to-state voters can vote in a party's primaries, if that party allows such voting in that specific election.
In the Feb. 5 primary, the Democratic Party is allowing votes from those who declined to state because, according to its spokesman, a lot of these voters "tend to have Democratic ideals and values." The hope is they will become invested in the Democratic candidates and vote for them again in November.
The Republican Party is not letting decline-to-state people vote for its candidates Feb. 5, reasoning that the presidential primary chooses delegates to the Republican National Convention so they should be chosen by party members. It will allow decline-to-state voters to cast Republican ballots in the June primaries.
As of Dec. 7, nearly 6.6 million Californians were registered Democrats; 5.2 million, Republicans; and nearly 3 million declined to state.
The most important thing to remember is Californians must register to vote for the Feb. 5 election by Jan. 22. Then, remember to vote.
