Linux is struggling on the desktop because it only has a small number of "great" apps, according to the Gnome co-creator. Miguel de Icaza, co-creator of the Gnome desktop, told tech journalist Tim Anderson at the recent Windows 8 Build conference "When you count how many great desktop apps there are on Linux, you can probably name 10," de Icaza said, according to a post on Anderson's IT Writing blog. "You work really hard, you can probably name 20. We've managed to p*** off developers every step of the way, breaking APIs all the time."

A loss to Circle High School not more than 72 hours after winning the 49th annual McPherson Invitational dropped the McPherson High boys basketball team two spots in the latest Kansas Basketball Coaches Association rankings.
The Bullpups slipped from a season-high ranking of No. 3 last week to No. 5 this week after the stunner at Circle. Andale, whom MHS defeated Tuesday night at the Roundhouse in overtime, switched places with McPherson, clocking in this week at No. 3. Ottawa and Topeka Highland Park maintained their grips on Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Kansas City Piper rounded out the top five.
Meanwhile, the Bullpup girls, who finished third in their own tournament this past weekend, remained No. 3 in the girls' Class 4A rankings, with Holton and Wamego also holding onto the top two spots. Hesston and Topeka Hayden rounded out the top five. The Andale girls, the Mid America Classic's No. 1 seed, were ranked eighth.
The Moundridge boys were the only other McPherson County team ranked in this week's KBCA rankings, as the Wildcats held steady at No. 6 in Class 2A after a loss in the championship game of Halstead's Adolph Rupp Tournament last week. Meade was the top team on the boys' side.
The Olathe South girls held onto No. 1 in Class 6A after winning their third Mid America Classic title Saturday night. Manhattan moved up one spot to No. 9 after their appearance in the championship game against the Falcons.

An outpouring of support for bombing victim Jeff BaumanBy BENJAMIN KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
April 26. 2013 10:49PM
NASHUA - While Boston Marathon bombing victim and hero Jeff Bauman recuperates in a Boston hospital after losing both his legs in the blast, his co-workers at the Nashua Costco Warehouse already are counting down the days until he can come back to work.
That may happen sooner than anyone might have anticipated. On Thursday, Bauman left Boston Medical Center and moved to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital to begin physical and occupational therapy.
To help Bauman, co-workers have been visiting him in the hospital, sending him homemade cards and posters, and raising money, in part by selling "Bauman Strong" bracelets and T-shirts.
"We are absolutely looking forward to having him back," said Kevin Horst, store manager at the Nashua Costco. "He is very strong, he has a positive attitude, and he has a great family behind him that is supporting him."
Bauman's father and stepmother, Jeff and Csilla Bauman, are Concord residents. Csilla was a longtime restaurant manager at the Bedford Village Inn, which also has been raising funds for the younger Bauman's recuperation.
"I am just speechless at the outpouring of concern and support from this building," Costco's Horst said of his employees. "I am very proud about what they are doing for Jeff."
Horst and other Costco employees are even prouder of Bauman.
Almost immediately upon gaining consciousness after being hospitalized with two severed limbs, Bauman asked for a piece of paper and wrote a note saying he had made eye contact with a man who had placed a bag on the ground just before the first of two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Marathon on April 15.
Bauman's subsequent description of the suspect, now known to be Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was critical to investigators' ability to zero in on Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, from thousands of photos showing countless people. That, in turn, may have prevented the suspects from further acts of terror after the bombing of the Marathon, which killed three spectators and wounded more than 200 others, and the fatal shooting of an MIT security officer.
Horst said he wasn't surprised at all to learn of Bauman's role in the investigation.
"Even at his roughest time, I can't imagine he wouldn't do the upmost he could to help," Horst said. "He is a quick, smart, respectful kid, and it's not surprising that he would do everything he could to get any information he had to law enforcement."
What has amazed colleagues is Bauman's ability to remain upbeat at such a difficult time.
Mike Stewart, a major supervisor at Costco, said that even while in the hospital recuperating, Bauman has shown an innate ability to cheer up his co-workers.
"The other day, Kevin and I set up a live face-time chat with Jeff. Kevin was with him in the hospital, and everyone (at the Nashua store) crowded into the break room, and we plugged (a smartphone) into a big TV, and we got to speak to (Jeff) for half an hour," Stewart said. "Just to see his smile and face lightened everyone's attitude for the rest of the day. It was just really, really cool."
Costco support for Bauman hasn't been limited to the Nashua store. Horst said Costco stores around the country have been sending money, gifts and cards to help lift Bauman's spirits.
"At Costco, we really do consider ourselves a family. The people who work here and shop here know that, and in this case the company has been very generous and gave me some time off to help one of our own who is need," Horst said.
All the money raised at the Nashua Costco for Bauman will be matched by Costco Corporate, Horst added.
In an interview with Boston sports radio station WEEI on Friday, Bauman expressed his gratitude for all the support he's received from his co-workers and employers, and said he was able to use some of the Costco merchandise he'd received to present a gift to fellow bombing victim Sydney Corcoran of Lowell, Mass., earlier this week on her 18th birthday.
Jeff Long, a senior vice president at Costco, said, "We are a close knit community, and people all around the country have rallied to (Bauman's) support with letters, support, and gifts. We feel we are an extended family. When something like this happens, it affects everyone in all parts of the company."
In Nashua especially, support for Bauman isn't just a matter of good corporate policy. Bauman is very well-liked by his peers and managers, Horst said.
"I can't say enough good things about Jeff," he said "He is just a gentle soul."
Horst and Stewart both said that while Bauman is generally easygoing and quiet, he can be talkative with his co-workers and is always willing to provide help to anyone who needs it.
"He has been with us about three years, and he is universally liked," Horst said. "He is a very respectful young man, a hard worker. And while he might be quiet in front of the bosses, his co-workers agree he is not that quiet - in a good way of course."

No arrests in Manchester homicide; single shot to chest killed manBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 21. 2013 10:23PM
MANCHESTER — No arrest was made Tuesday in the drive-by shooting of a Manchester man.
Mark Donnelly, 31, was killed about 11 p.m. Saturday while walking in the area of Pine and Prospect streets, according to police.
Jeffery Strelzin, senior assistant attorney general, said nothing in the investigation has determined that the public is in danger.
"However, a homicide has occurred and no arrest has been made," he said. "So people need to take that into account when making decisions about their safety."
According to witness accounts, Donnelly was shot by a man who approached him in a car after Donnelly and his friends had made fun of a woman panhandling. The woman said she would return with her boyfriend and Donnelly said he would fight him, witnesses said. Minutes later, a man in a car drove up and showed a gun. After Donnelly said he would fight the man "one on one," several gunshots were fired, witnesses have said.
Strelzin said authorities have not yet corroborated witness accounts. He said Donnelly died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
"I can tell you that the investigation is ongoing, which includes how many shots were fired and the type of weapon used," he said. He said the investigation also includes "whether the victim and the assailant knew each other."
Strelzin said he couldn't comment on whether authorities had any suspects.
Donnelly, the father of two girls, was described by friends and loved ones as a graffiti artist who could paint murals and was sought after by parents who wanted to have their kids' names drawn in graffiti.

In a move to further expand its capital and investment footprint in New Jersey's commercial real estate market, Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, part of BGC Partners Inc., has folded Woodbridge-based Helios Capital Advisors into its Rutherford office.
"We have a mandate internally that we've decided we really want to be a different type of company in the capital markets world to service our clients from every aspect of commercial real estate investment. We're looking to build our firm more like an investment bank," NGKF President James D. Kuhn said. "I think within a year, we'll have a major capital markets group like we just built with (Helios) in New Jersey in all the major markets in the country."
Kuhn said he chose Helios to expand NGKF's New Jersey capital markets group because he was impressed by their "exemplary nonperforming loan business … which we're looking to build a national platform for, but for which there aren't a lot of large firms that handle them."
Helios founding member and CEO Steven Schultz said he's been looking for an opportunity to get his business on a national platform since he entered the field 25 years ago.
"Being a boutique is great, but I had a lot of trouble competing with the Cushman (& Wakefield)s with not being able to get onto their national level. I always just got at the door to get that bigger national business, but I was losing those opportunities — and even some opportunities from my current clients, who had bigger deals going on," Schultz said. "I thought if I had a grand flag, at least I would be at the table. Coming out of last year, I thought, 'If I can just grow my business to a certain point, a major (real estate firm) will look at us.' "
Although Helios was approached by other firms looking for the opportunity to acquire his business, Schultz said he agreed to NGKF because "they're prominent, but in growth mode."
"I've seen all of the acquisitions lately, and it's clear that BGC and Newmark are risk takers — and I really like people that like to take risks," said Schultz, who will lead NGKF's New Jersey capital markets team and develop the firm's nonperforming loan sales platform in the state. "I've been working in New Jersey's capital market for a long time, and their commitment to growing it is very exciting."

TUSCALOOSA | The Miracle League of Tuscaloosa, which uses a specially designed field, is a prime example of how sports can be tailored to the needs of disabled athletes.
TUSCALOOSA | The Miracle League of Tuscaloosa, which uses a specially designed field, is a prime example of how sports can be tailored to the needs of disabled athletes.
Joanna McKinley, treasurer of the organization, said the baseball field, which is at Sokol Park North, is about the size of a Little League facility. It's covered with a soft, synthetic surface that is wheelchair-accessible.
"All of our players have some kind of challenge," McKinley said. "We have people playing from 2 years old to about 37. There are no limits to ability or age. We make accommodations so that anybody can play."
McKinley said registration will be March 2 and the spring season runs from April 6 through May 25 with games every Saturday. She said the Miracle League has about 100 participants in the spring and about 75 in the fall season.
The Miracle League is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide children with disabilities the chance to play baseball. The Tuscaloosa chapter formed in 2007.
McKinley said she has read about the directive from the U.S. Department of Education that directs schools to provide sports opportunities for people with disabilities.
"We do have many kids who go to the schools in the area," McKinley said. "Persons with disabilities, especially children, don't get to have a regular childhood. They have so much stuff to deal with it matures them beyond their years. Just getting out to play baseball makes them feel like a child. Having the opportunity to be carefree, to be a child and get out and play, I think that enriches their lives. I think it's really important."
McKinley said her son volunteers as a "buddy" for the Miracle League players.
"Another asset of our program is that not only do they get to play a sport, but they also get to interact with other kids who have disabilities and others who don't have disabilities," McKinley said. "There's a lot of mainstreaming going on. The buddies get to learn that people with disabilities are just like me. A lot of the kids can't wait to see each other. The buddies want to come back because they made a friend."
Buddies might be called on to assist a player who uses a walker or one who needs help swinging a bat. Whether they're stationed in the infield or the outfield, the buddies also provide encouragement simply by cheering.
"Some of the kids actually hit it pretty hard," McKinley said. "The bottom line is we want to get as many kids out there playing as we can because it's more fun for them. We're here to provide something for them, a game that we want them to come play."
Tesney Davis and her husband, Greg, have a 6-year-old son, Clayton, and they adopted Krill, a 6-year-old with Down syndrome.
Krill is a player, and Clayton is a buddy for Miracle League baseball games.
"For us as a family, the thing we enjoyed the most about the Miracle League is that it allows Krill to be like every other child," Tesney Davis said. "He is already kind of separated from other children because of his disability. I think the perception that people with disabilities are extra fragile is a big myth. Krill is like any other kids. He just learns a little bit slower and has to take a little extra time.
"I think Krill recognized the fact that he is getting a lot of positive encouragement from the coaches, the spectators and all the buddies out there. He loved that and thrived on that as most kids do. It means the world to us, the fact that he can play with his brother alongside him. Seeing Krill try his best and seeing him celebrate when he got to home plate, as a mom you get really proud because you get to experience that with your child. Without the Miracle League, it might not be possible for Krill to have that experience."

A Springfield man was cited Thursday following a three-car crash at Wabash Avenue and West White Oaks Drive.
Donald Anderson, 79, of the 2000 block of Huntleigh Road, was heading west on Wabash about 10:45 a.m. He attempted to turn left to head south on West White Oaks Drive, and his car collided with an eastbound vehicle on Wabash driven by Louis Day, 23, of the 1100 block of Ohio Avenue, according to a Springfield police report.
After the initial impact, Anderson�s car struck a third vehicle driven by Donna Newman, 56, of Brownsburg, Indiana. She was facing north on West White Oaks Drive, preparing to turn right onto Wabash.
No one was seriously injured in the crash.
Anderson was cited for failure to yield while turning left, the report said.

Beer, Craft Beer and Real Ale
To use the word beer is as vague as its origins. There are dozens of different beer styles that are used to categorise world beers into a structure based on flavour, ingredients, appearance and birthplace, to name just a few. The idea of beer styles is largely based on work by the late Michael Jackson, or the Beer Hunter, as he was more commonly known in the field. There is no set list of conditions that dictate which style a brew sits under, as different countries and different organisations have their own guidelines as to what makes a beer a certain style. A resurgence in beer styles since home brewing came back into fashion in the 1970's has put the consumers faith back into a wider variety of styles using traditional methods to achieve new and exciting creations.
It is extremely difficult to pinpoint the first civilisation to produce beer. Sumerians and Babylonians are often credited with the conception of something similar back in the thousands BC, although more recent claims suggest Amazonian tribes from 10,000 BC were able to concoct a fermentation capable of intoxication. Beer, methods and the reasons we drink have changed dramatically since then, but its importance to those who brew and consume has remained integral.
Another notable change over time is the ingredients used for beer. What started as a creating a pulp from bread has developed over the years, adding spices and herbs in the Roman times and fruit such as lemons and elderberries in the Middle Ages, ends with modern ingredients we recognise now such as hops and grains. Legislations such as the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) and Malt taxes have played a part in creating different styles across the world all for you to enjoy. As Benjamin Franklin once said 'Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy'. Amen to that.
Craft Beer
The word craft is a verb meaning 'to make or manufacture (an object, objects, product, etc.) with skill and careful attention to detail.' This can definitely be said to be true with regards to the so called revolution that has swept the UK and worldwide brewing scene. A new era of smaller, independent microbreweries with a goal to deliver quality over quantity is in full swing here at Beers of Europe.
It is easy to forget breweries such as Brewdog started out as a two man business selling their craft beers at local markets as they have triumphed over the past decade to reach a point where they can barely even be called craft anymore. Microbreweries predominantly focus on using traditional brewing techniques and recipes to create complex brews with a unique and enhanced taste. Consumers began to leave behind the cheap premium brews in favour of more diverse products and that is reflected in our mission to provide a vast array of local, national and international brews you have never had before.
Along with the independent companies and flavours, the craft beer revolution brings new canning lines to the forefront of the take-over, with American Brewers such as Sierra Nevada, Uncommon Brewers and Firestone Walker being joined by our newest additions Hales, Two Beers and a London based brewery, Fourpure. However a threat has already amounted against craft brewing, with large companies paying millions buying out craft breweries in order to stay competitive in the modern markets. Meantime and Camden Town have both recently been purchased by SAB Miller and AB InBev respectively, with Meantime looking to be sold again to Asahi. However with more microbreweries than ever in the UK, and the strength of the craft scenes abroad, Beers of Europe will never be short of independent and high quality brews.
Real Ale
The term Real Ale was appropriately chosen by the Campaign for Real Ale or CAMRA in 1973, at the start of an on-going campaign, to educate the difference between commercially backed premium beers and traditional beers and brewers whose very livelihoods were under threat from the big brewers. CAMRA have grown enormously since then, and now have over 175,000 members and many consider their achievements among the most successful in Europe for a consumer movement and they have taken their issues all the way to the top in order to get their views heard. In addition, they support the breweries and pubs that are well-run and with over 200 UK branches, they are very well run themselves. However they acknowledge that the fight is far from over, with major campaigns to stop the impact the high tax have on our pubs still attracting attention, as well as never losing the core ideology to get as many people as possible trying new real ales and ciders.
There are certain parameters which determine whether ale is just ale, or if it is a real ale. The separation between the two comes after the beer has fermented. Whereas with most bottled beer the beer is syphoned from the yeast, and is often pasteurised to kill off any remaining yeast, real ale retains the yeast in the bottle to create a slow second fermentation which encourages a gentle carbonation. This creates a completely natural, live beer full of flavour that is worth campaigning for.
At Beers of Europe we stock a wide range of CAMRA backed Real Ales including St Austell and Teme Valley.

Despite winning 86 games the past two seasons, the Crowder baseball team turned in their gear at the end of each campaign feeling like it had nothing to show for going 42-18 in '11 and 44-17 in '12.
Despite winning 86 games the past two seasons, the Crowder baseball team turned in their gear at the end of each campaign feeling like it had nothing to show for going 42-18 in '11 and 44-17 in '12.
Well, the 2013 season can't begin soon enough for the Roughriders. A bad taste still lingers that dates back to May 12, 2012, when after leading 6-0, Jefferson College rallied with eight unanswered runs and defeated them 8-6 in the NJCAA Region 16 Championship in Joplin.
After reaching the JUCO World Series two years prior, the 2012 season ended with a thud as Grand Junction sat on the horizon. So they regrouped, worked harder this offseason, added a few pieces and, they hope, filled their gas tanks enough to reach Colorado this time around.
It won't be easy.
With 58 games slated, the Roughriders, who enter the season ranked No. 18 in the NJCAA Division I Top 20 preseason poll, will do battle with four teams ranked inside the top-20, accounting for a total of 14 games. That includes four games against the 2012 national champion Iowa Western Reivers (ranked No. 1), four against Jefferson College (4), two versus Seminole State (5), and two more with Neosho County (11).
It gets even deeper once you look at the Perfect Game preseason top-50 junior college poll where Seminole State (3), Iowa Western (8), Jefferson (25), Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (34), Crowder (41), Eastern Oklahoma State (44) and Connors State (50) all rank. The Roughriders have scheduled them all, so they'll certainly be battle tested once May rolls around.
"Our schedule is, we feel, like the toughest we can play in our area," Crowder head coach Travis Lallemand said. "We're purposely trying to put together some of the best schedules to prepare us for the postseason.
"We racked up 86 wins the past two years and turned in our uniforms at the end of the year with a bad taste in our mouths. We're trying to prepare ourselves the best we can for the (region) tournament. We feel like we're equipped to handle it. With our schedule you're not going to be able to go out and play a mediocre game and expect to win every day."
Put it this way; the Roughriders could easily finish with a worse regular season record than they had a year ago and still be a much better team.
Though Lallemand hesitates to admit it, the talent on this Crowder team more closely resembles the 2010 roster that had them playing under the western sky. He hesitates, of course, because projections are just that — projections — until the team steps on the field and proves its mettle.
But the comparisons are easy to see.
A quick glance at the roster shows a team that should be deep all over the diamond. The Roughriders have an impressive stash of pitchers, both starting and in the bullpen. The lineup compliments itself with power and speed, and the bench should be deep in reinforcements.
"I feel like our pitching staff is as deep as it's ever been," Lallemand, who's in his eighth season at the helm for the Roughriders, said. "This year our depth is as good as it's ever been.
"Our opening day lineup has never been the same come tournament time. There's a bunch of guys that are going to be contributing come tourney time. There's several other hitters that are going to play a part in it, and several other players that are going to play key roles that are going to help us achieve one of our main goals of getting back to Grand Junction and reaching a national championship."
The Roughriders are wasting no time in getting to the grind this season. They'll open play Feb. 6 at home against NEO A&M with a nine-inning affair slated for 2 p.m. That's the first of two games against the Norsemen this season, who finished 33-12 last year.
Preston Tarkington, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound sophomore right hander from Searcy, Ark., is slated to get the start on the hill for the Roughriders after transferring from Panola (Tex.) College. He'll be supported offensively by a lineup that should feature Cody Althouse (6'1, 195 sophomore infielder/outfielder) in the leadoff spot, followed by 2, Josh Johnson (6'1, 170 sophomore outfielder), 3, Tony Sandifer (6'1, 220 infielder), 4, Matt Burgess (6'4, 230 freshman infielder), 5, Ty White (5'8, 170 freshman infielder), 6, Jordan Dey (6'2, 185 infielder/outfielder) or Chris Scroggins (5'8, 150 freshman outfielder), 7, Lucas Feddersen (5'9, 170 sophomore shortstop) 8, Cody Webster (6'1, 200 sophomore catcher) or Samuel May (6'2, 230 catcher/outfielder), 9, Ryan Lazo (5'9, 160 freshman infielder).
"We feel like our top five can hit with anybody," Lallemand said. "Offensively we're very versatile. We've got power at the plate and got some runners around them. I think our lineup meshes well together.
"We had a very strong nine-to-10 last year, but we're a lot more offensively like we were in 2010 where we can beat people in a lot of different ways."
Tarkington should be followed in the rotation by Jon Woodcock (6'0, 190 sophomore left hander), and Chris Caudle (6'4, 200 sophomore righty). That should leave sophomore righty Cody Jackson (6'4, 210), Trey Watson (6'0, 195 sophomore lefty), and Cody Jones (6'0, 150 freshman lefty) to battle amongst others for rotation spots.
The bullpen will be anchored by sophomore right handed closer Andrew Schwaab (6'1, 170) at the back end where he'll be joined by Neosho native Jacob Barnes (6'3, 205 sophomore) and Ryan Smith (5'9, 165 sophomore left hander) to fill what Lallemand coined the "non-hero" innings in middle relief.
Lallemand and his staff, assisted by Rob Vessell, Tyler Sawyer, Kyle Williams and Robert Holtz, have put together a mix of players that he hopes will get the team over the hump this season.
"One goal I have is when we come out of the month of February we're going to see an incredible part of our schedule," Lallemand said. "We'll be battle tested when Iowa Western comes to town March 3, and then two weeks later we'll start our conference season.
"When we get to March we're going to obviously look back to what we did in the month of February and make changes and plunge into conference season, and then again evaluate and plunge into the postseason."
And hopefully plunge into the heart of Colorado.
Notes: Highlighted by 24 sophomores on this 2013 team, last week the Roughriders began the process of replenishing their system for the 2014 season and beyond when they inked 17 high school players Saturday on the Crowder College campus.
Among those signing with the Roughriders were seven pitchers and 10 position players, highlighted by the school's first Japanese player, Hirotaka Aida, an outfielder from Tokyo. Others who signed with Crowder were: Seth Beckner (OF, Carthage, Mo.), William Mahnken (3B, Kansas City, Mo.), Branden Bohuslav (RHP, Mansfield, Tex.), Aaron Patton (LHP, Monett, Mo.), Ethan Clark (RHP, Greenwood, Ark.), Drew Pearson (C/OF, Cabool, Mo.), Brady Cox (C, Fort Worth, Tex.), Brett Price (RHP, Fayetteville, Ark.), Bryant Haralson (RHP, Hector, Ark.), Winston Rasmussen (C/1B, Springdale, Ark.), Hayden Harvey (IF, Greenwood, Ark.), Carson Shaddy (IF, Fayetteville, Ark.), Christopher Hunt (RHP, Greenwood, Ark.), Henry Tietz (IF/OF, Marshall, Mo.), Blake Wilfong (C/OF, Jerseyville, Ill.), Lucas Infante (RHP, St. Jacob, Ill.).

calling all cowl loversFriday, September 24, 2010
I should be home right now.
However, I took my annual trip out west and decided to spend an extra day in San Francisco with a great friend. (That's Noreen!)
We did a bunch of fun stuff which of course included a trip to ImagiKnit. Allison couldn't be nicer... oh, how I love knitters.
Of course, a bazillion photos where taken of the city and the bridge. (And everything in between.)
I mentioned I would be talking about this fantastic book. Unfortunately, since I am en-route, I have no other photos than this to show you. (Sorry!) I can tell you that there are a bunch of cute cowls in this book. (Forty to be exact.) They range from quick and easy on chunky yarns to a little more advanced with intricate designs on finer yarns. Some are knit in the round, some back and forth. Lace, cables, striped. Really, a cowl for every cowl lover.

Sol 95 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Preconditioning11 November 2012
There was applause in the MSL SOWG meeting room and on the phone lines as the first SAM results on solid Martian material were announced. The instrument appears to be working well, and the team is busy analyzing the new data. The plan for Sol 95 therefore included another SAM "preconditioning" activity to prepare for another scoop sample. The more complicated part of the plan involved lots of arm motion to process and drop the rest of the scoop 5 sample to the observation tray and measure it with APXS. This will allow results from various instruments to be compared, which will allow the team to more fully understand the detailed composition of the soil sample and to compare the calibration of the instruments. MAHLI images of the material on the observation tray will be taken to determine how much material is measured by APXS. It was nearly midnight in Flagstaff when my shift ended, almost like being on Mars time!

Mazda B2500 Blower Motor Resistor Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a heater blower motor resistor?
The blower motor is a fan housed in the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts, normally located behind the glove box. This uses a blower motor resistor to change the speed at which the fan operates.
How does the heater blower motor resistor work?
The air conditioning and heating controls allow the user to switch fan speeds, allowing the fan to spin faster or slower. It has this capability because the fan uses the blower motor resistor. The blower motor resistor is between the power source and the fan, and allows only the desired amount of power to go to the fan. When the fan receives less power, it turns slowly, and when it receives more power, it will speed up. This translates to the amount of air that is blowing out of the vents.
Find a Certified Mechanic
What are the symptoms related to a bad heater blower motor resistor?
When the blower motor resistor fails, the air conditioner and heater may still work, but heat or cool may blow from the vents on some of the fan speed settings. In some rare situations, mostly after long periods of partial blower motor function, the blower motor resistor may fail completely, leaving the entire HVAC system useless.
Can I drive with a heater blower motor resistor problem?
Driving with a defective blower motor resistor may not be the most comfortable option for occupants, but there is no safety risk associated. The blower motor resistor contact cause other components to become damaged, and has no moving parts. If it has failed completely, the temperature in the vehicle will be completely unregulated.
How often do heater blower motor resistors need to be replaced?
Blower motors resistors tend to fail frequently in high mileage vehicles, but their failure does not depend on mileage. Age can be a factor as the plastic can become brittle over time, or heat may cause electronic failure. The amount of use a blower motor receives may also be a factor.
Related Mazda B2500 Estimates
How are heater blower motor resistor issues diagnosed?
The servicing technician will perform a series of tests that will lead them to the blower motor resistor. If the blower motor is not blowing air on any setting, the technician will first find and inspect any related fuses. Afterwards, the blower motor resistor electrical connector is inspected to determine if power is reaching the blower motor resistor. If power reaches the blower motor resistor, the blower motor does not receive power, the blower motor resistor is probably faulty. It will be removed, inspected, and bench tested with an external power source.
Blower Motor Resistor Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Blower Motor Resistor Replacement is between $83 and $117 but can vary from car to car.
How is a heater blower motor resistor replaced?
If the blower motor resistor must be replaced, either the glove box or lower cover will be removed from the dashboard. This will grant access to the HVAC duct box, and the blower motor service cover. The service cover is removed, and the blower motor resistor is disconnected from its' electronic connectors. Finally, the blower motor retaining screws will be removed, followed by the blower motor resistor. Installation will include installing the blower motor resistor into the blower motor, followed by the reverse order of operations for removal. The technician can then test the function of the blower motor, and confirm the customer complaint has been resolved.
RepairPal Recommendations for heater blower motor resistor issues
We do not recommend immediately suspecting the blower motor resistor of failure when the symptoms that were mentioned occur. Testing is imperative to making a proper diagnosis, and replacing parts becomes costly very quickly. We recommend disconnecting the battery any time there is an open electrical circuit, as arching to the vehicle chassis can damage sensitive components.
What to look out for when dealing with heater blower motor resistor issues
If the blower motor is making a grinding or rattling noise, the blower motor resistor is typically not at fault. When some of the fan speed settings stop functioning, it is considered safe to use on the remaining settings, as those circuits have not suffered failure. Until the vehicle is repaired, further use should not complicate the issue. When all fan speeds are not functioning, the blower motor will be suspected, and the blower motor resistor may be tested in the process.
Can I replace the heater blower motor resistor myself?
The moderately skilled DIYer can accomplish this diagnosis and repair. A basic understanding of a series electrical circuit, a few basic tools, and a digital voltage meter are all that is required. It is important that the DIYer understand the testing procedures for the blower motor circuit, as failing to properly test the blower motor may lead to unnecessary costs.

The former UF golfer flew home to Jacksonville on Monday morning with his buddies and former Gator golfers Chris DiMarco and Matt Every after a late night in New Orleans.
The party continues for Billy Horschel.
The former UF golfer flew home to Jacksonville on Monday morning with his buddies and former Gator golfers Chris DiMarco and Matt Every after a late night in New Orleans.
"I've had two hours sleep," Horschel said Monday. "But I'm still wired. It's not over yet. I'll probably celebrate with my wife (Britt, also a former UF golfer) and friends and family. I'm going to take a couple more days and get back at it Wednesday.
"It was great to be with those guys and have them there on the back of the green on 18 since my family wasn't there. All we did (Sunday night) was go to a steak place for dinner, played some blackjack and just stayed up late. It was a lot of fun."
Horschel had his breakthrough win on the PGA Tour on Sunday when he won the Zurich Classic. The win elevated him to third on both the FedEx Cup points race and Tour money list.
He has now won $2,567,891 this year and is ranked 49th in the World Golf Rankings. The win also made him eligible for The Players Championship next week and the Masters next year.
"It's always been in my life that when I've accomplished something, it takes a long time to sink in," Horschel said. "I don't know why that is. I've always been that way. I accomplish something and it's on the the next step.
"Stuff doesn't sink in. I don't have that aha moment where I think, 'I can't believe what I did.' My goal isn't to be a top-50 player, it's to be the best player in the world. My goal isn't to be in the Masters, it's to win the Masters. My goal isn't to be in The Players, it's to win The Players."
Horschel, who on Friday withdrew from this week's event in Charlotte, N.C., will be considered one of the favorites next week at The Players. Not only is he on a roll with four straight top-10 finishes on Tour, he knows the course well.
"I like my chances," he said. "I've played it quite a bit. Hopefully we can keep the ball rolling."
Horschel, who was a three-time, first-team All-American for Buddy Alexander at Florida, said he thought about all of the people who have helped him out during his golf career while reflecting on his path to being a winner on Tour.
"I thought about it all," he said. "From being a little kid starting to play to coach Alexander, who took a chance on me. There are so many people to thank and I can't thank them enough.
"I still can't believe I've won. I'm still just ecstatic to be able to check off one of the boxes as a PGA Tour winner."
Horschel, who had to fight through qualifying school last December to get his Tour card, credited an improved wedge game and a better attitude on the course for his turnaround.
He had come close to winning before, both in 2011 and this season. Horschel finished second and third in two events this year.
"I don't think there was any scar tissue," he said. "I just tried to take the positives from each tournament."
He also made good on a prediction at Q-school that this would be the year he won his first event.
"I was happy I was able to back up that comment," he said, "and not look like an idiot."
The tournament in Avonale, La., was also a big one for Bobby Gates, the former Buchholz High School golfer who also had to go through Q-school to get on Tour. He finished in a tie for fourth to move inside the top 125 on Tour in money winnings this year.
Gates is now at 118th with $290,400. The top 125 at the end of the year on both the money list and the FedEx Cup retain their Tour cards for next year. Gates is at 141st on the FedEx Cup list.

Mrs. Everitt and her son - The gigantic infant
Mrs Everitt's son is shown aged 11 months. He was not particularly large when born, but by this age he was over three foot tall with a chest measurement of 30 inches. His excessive size was inaccurately attributed to the positive effects of breastfeeding. Mrs Everitt's son died young, probably from excessive production of growth hormones. The print was published to shock and amaze at a time when so-called 'freak shows' were popular at carnivals and shows.

Mass. failure: Aaron Hernandez and gunsEDITORIAL
July 04. 2013 11:02PM
Whether former Patriot Aaron Hernandez is guilty of murder is up to a Massachusetts jury. But looking at the case laid out by Bristol County assistant district attorney William McCauley, the futility of attempts to reduce gun violence by restricting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans is clear.
Hernandez is charged with the execution-style murder of his friend Odin Lloyd. In addition to first-degree murder, Hernandez faces five gun charges. Strict Bay State gun-control laws did nothing to protect Lloyd. And if the prosecution is correct, they did little to discourage Hernandez from accumulating a stash of weapons.
No changes to the nation's system of background checks would have prevented this grisly murder.
Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, the Attorney General's office has determined that Ian Peters was justified in using deadly force that resulted in the death of 24-year old Michael LaRocque Jr. on June 9th. The AG's report found that LaRocque and another man broke into Peters' home, Peter fired his gun at them, prompting the intruders to run away.
According to the report, "Peters told Larocque to get down on the ground and not to move. Instead, Larocque turned and attacked Peters. Peters and LaRocque started to physically struggle and during that struggle, Peters' gun went off."
Will New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) add Larocque to its list of victims of gun violence? MAIG has been rightly chastised for including Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev among the list of gun victims at a recent gun control rally in Concord. The group also lumps in dozens of criminals shot by police and by civilians in self-defense.
MAIG's plunge into political advocacy advertising prompted Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau to leave the group, even before the embarrassing victims list revelations. Lozeau signed up thinking the effort would concentrate preventing criminals from using stolen and unregistered weapons, not on passing new laws to keep law-abiding Americans from protecting themselves.
Lozeau explained her split from MAIG to the Union Leader's John Distaso. "You're Mayors Against Illegal Guns, you're not mayors for gun control," Lozeau said. Oh, but mayors for gun control is what they are. Boston Mayor Tom Menino is a member. It isn't doing his city's murder victims much good.

Manchester man accused of making fraudulent credit card transactions
— A probable cause hearing was set for Oct. 21 for Maxwell Lawrence, 21, of 100 Union St., who is accused of using a credit card for 31 fraudulent transactions, totaling more than $1,700, between Sept. 16 and 24.
Police prosecutor Carrissa Pelletier requested $3,000 cash/surety bail for Lawrence, whose record includes robbery, receiving stolen property, theft by unauthorized taking and resisting arrest. She said Lawrence is also being held on a charge from another court.
Judge John Emery set bail at the amount requested by Pelletier, with conditions barring contact with a business and the card owner.
Two court appearances
Because he was out on bail when he allegedly committed a new crime, police prosecutors filed a motion to have Jeremy Ruschak's bail on the earlier charge revoked.
Ruschak, 32, of 114 School St., was arrested on a warrant for criminal mischief, for allegedly kicking in a door at a West Hancock St. address Sept. 20.
At his arraignment on the new charge Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, Ruschak told Judge John Emery: "I have trial tomorrow (Tuesday)."
That makes two court appearances on the same day for Ruschak, because Ruschak was ordered held pending a bail revocation hearing today in Circuit Court.
Weapon elevates charge
A Weare man, accused of swinging a buck knife at a loss prevention officer who sought to detain him at Home Depot, 129 March Ave., Sunday, was charged with a felony of robbery.
Adam Belleville, 23, of 657 S. Stark Highway, was also charged with felony falsifying evidence for allegedly hiding the knife in a getaway vehicle.
Police said a loss prevention officer spotted Belleville concealing items valued at almost $100 in his pants and shirt sleeve and confronted Belleville. The loss prevention officer was able to retrieve some of the merchandise from Belleville's sleeve, but when he tried to escort Belleville back into the store, Belleville allegedly produced a knife and swung it at the loss prevention officer, who was able to avoid being struck.
The loss prevention officer reported Belleville entered a waiting vehicle and left the area, but Police Officer Peter Flanagan spotted the vehicle on Weston Road and stopped it. Belleville, who was a passenger, matched the description of the robber, He had an empty knife sheath on his belt, but a buck knife was later recovered in the area of the vehicle's center console.
Belleville could enter no plea Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to the two felony charges, so a probable cause hearing was set for Oct. 21. Bail was set at $4,000 cash/surety, with conditions that include no contact with the loss prevention officer and not going to Home Depot.
No sympathy from judge
Quincy Flynn, 41, of 549 Somerville St., Monday told Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Judge John Emery that he would waive extradition to New York on a fugitive warrant.
Flynn also pleaded innocent to local charges of disobeying a police officer and operating after suspension, stemming from a traffic stop on Bridge Street Saturday.
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau said New York police said they would be coming to get Flynn, so the judge set a deadline of Oct. 17 for the pickup.
A November trial date was initially set for the local charges, but Flynn asked for a later date, in case he was in New York, so a Dec. 16 trial date was set. Bail was set at $1,000 personal recognizance.
Flynn then complained to the judge that a number of fugitive warrants have been issued by New York on the probation violation, resulting in multiple arrests and job losses, but New York authorities haven't come to get him. Favreau told the judge Manchester police have been in contact with New York authorities and all the necessary paperwork is in hand.
"They are coming to get him," said Favreau.
Emery suggested to Flynn that if New York fails to come and get him this time, Flynn could solve the problem of repeat warrants and their consequences by going to New York on his own to address the issue.
Prior stalking conviction
A prior stalking conviction means two new stalking charges against a Derry man are felonies, instead of misdemeanors.
Scott Davis, 28, of 6 Oak St., was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on the two stalking charges that allege he entered a woman's apartment and spoke with her Sept. 21 and went there again Friday.
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau, who said Davis has a criminal record that includes violence and drugs, sought $20,000 cash/surety bail. He said Davis' most recent convictions were two counts of criminal threatening in 2011, criminal mischief in 2012 and breach of bail in 2012, for which he received a suspended six-month sentence. He said Davis is also out on bail from Superior Court on a burglary charge involving the same woman.
Davis sought a lower bail, saying: "I've always appeared (in court) ... I have a job." He also challenged Favreau's listing of past crimes, saying: "Some of those weren't convictions," Favreau said everything he listed was a conviction, with a sentence.
Judge John Emery set bail at $20,000 cash/surety. Because no plea can be entered to a felony charge in Circuit Court, a probable cause hearing was set for Oct. 21.
Straight to prison
Police said a Manchester man who walked away from Calumet House, 127 Lowell St., a transitional housing unit operated by the state corrections department, was found Monday morning. The man had failed to return to Calumet House from work Friday.
Police said Antonio Dustin, 53, a convicted sex offender who has also been convicted for failure to register, was arrested for escape. Officer Adam Beland spotted Dustin walking in the area of Pine and Laurel streets about 10:15 a.m. and arrested Dustin without incident.
Dustin was turned over to corrections department personnel for direct return to the New Hampshire State Prison in Concord.

Historically tight supplies of cattle drove cash fed-cattle prices to a record high last week.
Fed cattle headed for slaughter averaged $132.30 per hundredweight, up $2.91 per hundredweight from the previous week and up $5.69 from the same week last year, said Ron Plain, livestock economist with the University of Missouri.
That broke the last record high of $128.92 on a live-weight basis, set the week ending March 2, 2012.
Boxed beef is also at lofty levels, with the choice cutout last week averaging $200.09 per hundredweight, up $3.93 per hundredweight from the previous week, though not as high as the record $211.37 in May of this year.
The most recent data on grocery store prices shows beef prices were at record highs in July and August, Plain said.
"I think we're starting to see things in relationship to how small cattle numbers are," said Wilson Gray, livestock economist with the University of Idaho.
The U.S. cattle herd on Jan. 1 numbered 29 million, the lowest since 1962. Carcasses are heavier, but with fewer cattle, beef production is still lower. Per capita production of beef, at 53 pounds to 55 pounds, is down 10 pounds from five or six years ago, he said.
In addition to fewer cattle, prices for heifers sold for replacement are higher than those going to market, indicating an interest in herd rebuilding. That will further tighten the market for fed cattle and beef, and if that rebuilding effort proves successful, more producers will start holding back heifers next year, he said.
With cattle and beef supplies continuing to tighten, high cattle and beef prices aren't going away any time soon, the economists said.
In fact, there are likely to be new price records set in 2014. Cattle and beef prices in 2014 will be higher than this year and higher than in 2015, they said. This year will be the fourth consecutive year of record-high beef prices and 2014 will be the fifth, Plain said.
"I think that's as far as we can push. It'll be tough for beef prices to set new records when competing meat prices are falling," he said.
By 2015, prices should start declining due to competition from chicken and pork. Chicken production is already expanding and pork has the ability to expand relatively quickly. That competing production will bring beef prices down even before beef production picks up, he said.
Chickens only take 10 weeks from egg set to slaughter and pork takes 10 months from breeding to slaughter, compared with cattle, which takes 2 1/2 years from breeding to slaughter, he said.
In addition, there's the bigger picture of beef demand going up and down with the economy. The recession that hit in 2008 took a big toll on beef consumption that year and in 2009, and recessions occur about every seven years, he said.
Gray, however, doesn't see prices moderating until 2016 or 2017 when markets start seeing more cattle as a result of herd rebuilding. And he's not worried about competing meats until then, he said.
The recession has caused consumers to back off higher priced cuts of beef, but they're still buying beef. And while the poultry industry is expanding, the pork industry has had some disease issues that have affected production, although it could ramp up, he said.
"I don't think we're going to see (beef) prices moderate from lack of demand; supplies are pretty low," he said.
But those low supplies could drop per capita beef production to 50 pounds. When beef production picks up in three or four years, the question will be how beef can regain some of the ground it gave up, he said.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Friday they have agreed to speed up slightly the schedule for moving Afghanistan's security forces into the lead across the country, with U.S. troops shifting fully to a support role.
The leaders also said Obama agreed to place battlefield detainees under the control of the Afghan government.
Obama, appearing in the East Room of the White House with Karzai at his side, said accelerating the transition to Afghan security control this spring would set the stage for further withdrawal of U.S. and other foreign forces, although he did not say how quickly a U.S. drawdown would be carried out this year and next.
There are 66,000 U.S. troops there.
"Starting this spring our troops will have a different mission: training, advising and assisting Afghan forces," Obama said. "It will be a historic moment."
He added that even in a backup role he could not rule out that U.S. troops could be drawn into combat. But he emphasized that their main role would be support, such as training and advising.

In the United States, we associate several traditions with weddings: the playing of the Wedding March (aka "Here Comes the Bride"), the clanging of church bells, an over-the-top layered cake, and the exchanging of wedding bands. A boda is a boda -- no matter where you go -- but every culture has their own unique set of rituals and traditions that make getting married a beautiful, special, and memorable experience.
Check out these 8 unique Latin American wedding traditions (and be sure to share your own in the comments!)
1. Las Arras
#1: Las Arras
In Mexico, Puerto Rico and various parts of Latin America, las arras are an important and symbolic tradition. During the ceremony, the bride and the groom each take one half of the 13 gold wedding coins. In Catholic weddings, the number 13 is often attributed to Jesus and the 12 apostles.
Las arras have multiple symbolic meanings: they represent the couple's unity, as well as the groom's promise to provide for his wife and his family.
2. Wedding Rings
#2: Skip The Engagement Ring
In Argentina, Chile, and various other Latin American countries, it is customary to skip the engagement ring altogether! Instead, both the man and the woman exchange wedding rings or bands, which they wear on their right hand until their wedding day. Once they've become husband and wife, they symbolically switch the bands to their left hand.
3. Wedding: mariachis
#3: A Festive Serenade
A wedding just isn't a wedding in Mexico without the proper music: mariachis! Most weddings (and parties!) feature traditional mariachi music played by a live band during the reception of the wedding.
4. Capias
#4: A Special Wedding Favor
In Puerto Rico, it's traditional to distribute a unique wedding favor to guests — the capias. These elaborate ribbons include the names of the newlyweds and the wedding date, and are usually saved by guests for many years. Families distribute these adorable and personal party favors at other major life events, as well — such as quinceañeras, baptisms, and First Communions.
5. Breakfast
#5 Breakfast Is Served!
In Argentina, most weddings don't begin until 9pm. Following a lengthy ceremony, the party begins — and it usually lasts all night long. In fact, many couples opt to serve breakfast to their guests after a long, hard night of drinking and dancing. While the type of breakfast varies, most couples make sure to have plenty of churros on hand.
6. Lazo Cord
#6: A Symbol of Unity
In Mexico, the lazo cord is used in some Catholic wedding ceremonies. Often, a couple may use a large rosary as their lazo. After the couple make their vows, a member of the wedding party wraps the cord or rosary around the husband and wife to form a figure-of-eight shape. The lazo beautifully symbolizes a lifetime of unity between spouses.
7. Argentinian Wedding Cake
#7: Let Them Eat Cake!
Forget the bouquet! In Argentina, all the brides single friends hover around the cake (obviously) and pull out a ribbon from the pastry. One of the ribbons is attached to a ring — and whomever pulls the lucky strand is the next to get married!
8. The White Bell
In Guatemala, it is customary to put a white bell at the entrance of the church. The bell is filled with rice, flour, and other grains, which symbolize abundance and prosperity. When the couple enters the church, the mother breaks the bell as a sign of good wishes for the couple.

The Mesa Verde Steam Academy Charter School proposal died Tuesday night at the Montezuma-Cortez School Board Re-1 meeting.
Some of the ideas brought forward by charter school founder Kay Phelps were embraced, but the board and Superintendent Alex Carter wanted these ideas to be part of the district through an Innovation School with a STEAM curricular focus.
The board also directed the administration to pursue an action plan to implement a STEAM curriculum.
Phelps and the other founders of the proposed charter school willingly decided to abandon forming a new school and informed Carter of this in a letter.
Following the District Accountability Committee meeting this evening (Nov. 12), the Mesa Verde STEAM Academy founders agreed to withdraw their proposal for a charter with district Re-1 in good faith that the district will develop a magnet school and/or apply for an Innovation School with the Colorado Department of Education that has a STEAM/PBL curricular focus, Phelps wrote.
She said the MVSA founders look forward to a partnership in this endeavor and share the districts commitment to collaborate on behalf of all children.
Phelps said the board had two primary concerns with the charter school, believing it would siphon off the better students from Re-1 and decrease the per-pupil funding the district receives for every enrolled student.
Phelps said students would have been selected through a lottery, so the belief the school would have siphoned off the better students is not true.
She also said the proposed school would likely have attracted homeschooled students or ones who were going to leave the district anyway to attend schools in either Dolores or Mancos.
Phelps said if the district is going to pursue what the charter school was planning, it would be better to work with them.
We dont want to fade away, but if the district is going to pursue this...
She said if the founders really wanted to move forward with a charter school through the state the charter would have been given, but added the school and its founders do not want to have an adversarial relationship with Re-1.
Phelps originally planned to present her plan to the Dolores School District if the Re-1 board rejected the proposal but conceded there is no real need for the STEAM academy to be linked with the Dolores School District.
The Re-1 School Board also:
Approved a resolution supporting local participation in the construction of the replacement of Montezuma-Cortez High School.
Approved a resolution authorizing the state of Colorado BEST site lease of the district, the state of Colorado BEST sublease of the district, a tax compliance certificate and other documents and any other actions related to this.
Authorized the issuance by Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 of a general obligation bond for the purposes approved at the districts election on Nov. 6, authorizing the levy of property taxes to pay this bond, providing the form of the bond and other details in connection with this and approving other documents relating to the bond.

Sugar, or sucrose, is one of the most widely used ingredients in the foods you buy.
Sugar, or sucrose, is one of the most widely used ingredients in the foods you buy. All other sweeteners basically are compared to how they stack up against sugar.
Sugar and other sweeteners like fructose, dextrose, lactose, maltose, honey, corn syrup and concentrated fruit juice sweeteners are called nutritive sweeteners. Sugar alcohols, including sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol and erythritol, also are considered nutritive sweeteners.
Nutritive sweeteners add energy, or calories, to the diet. Non-nutritive, or artificial, sweeteners don't add energy.
The FDA has approved four non-nutritive sweeteners — saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K and sucralose.
When substituting sweeteners, remember to check the label directions or manufacturer's website for sugar equivalents, preparation tips and other specifications pertaining to that specific sweetener, according to research from the LSU AgCenter and USDA Center for Nutrition.
Diet quality suffers when intakes of nutritive sweeteners exceed 5 percent of total energy, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
"Consumers can safely enjoy a limited amount of nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners when consumed in a diet that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals," the academy says. "Dietetic professionals should provide consumers with science-based information about sweeteners and support research on the use of sweeteners to promote eating enjoyment, optimal nutrition and health."
Here are the benefits of using non-nutritive sweeteners:
Can contribute pleasurable sweet sensations without increasing energy intake.
Do not increase the incidence of dental caries and may even prevent cavities.
Do not affect blood sugars.
Decrease calorie content to food.
Can be used in non-food items to make them taste more pleasurable.
Only require small amount to sweeten foods and beverages.
May aid in weight control.
Here are some of the downsides of using non-nutritive sweeteners:
They may cause an aftertaste.
Limited history of some means not all is known beyond the Accepted Daily Intake.
There is limited research on the safety during pregnancy.
Warning label is required on foods that contain aspartame.
Sweetener or sweet taste may increase appetite.
They may alter metabolism, which could lead to overeating.

In Jul 2012, Minister Liu and PAP MP, Josephine Teo, responded to a suggestion to nationalize the public transport system by saying it would lead to inefficiencies, higher cost and stagnation of service quality[Link]. Everyone can now see that the privatization of our transport system has led to the problems it was suppose to solve. The govt is appointing people from the SAF with zero experience in the private sector to run our public transport. As the problems with our public transport, SMRT in particular, mounts, the govt turns to the SAF to find talents to fix the problems...so what happened to belief that privatization leads to efficiency? The PAP govt looks like it is taking back control of the SMRT by appointing people from the public sector to top posts in the SMRT.
