WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says Senate Democrats will support a House Republican bill extending the government's ability to borrow for four months.
The Nevada Democrat told reporters Wednesday the Senate would pass the bill "as quickly as possible," meaning it could go to President Barack Obama as soon as this week. The House was voting on the bill Wednesday.
Reid said he preferred a longer extension, and he mocked a Republican provision that says lawmakers will lose their paychecks unless Congress passes a budget. Nevertheless, Reid said Senate Democrats plan to pass the bill as is.
He said it is a victory for Obama that House Republicans abandoned their demand that increasing the government's ability to borrow be accompanied by cuts in government spending.

Your Jeep - May 2014Posted in How To: Tech Qa on April 22, 2014
ZJ Coils on a TJ Again
I saw the article on putting ZJ front coils under a TJ, and I was wondering if the rear springs were still stock on the TJ? Plus I have Rubicon springs on mine, but the front still sits too low. Not much, but I don't like it so I am curious to try this out. Are there more pictures on how your TJ looks now?
Shawn Doyle
Via email
Yeah, I am running stock rear coils on my TJ with a set of .75-inch Daystar spacer pucks. Before I added the ZJ front springs, the Jeep was sitting nose low, mainly because the stock front springs were sagging. Now the Jeep has a bit of a nose high rake, but I like that look and it makes sense, as the rear does not rub (much) and the front tires require more space to allow turning while flexing. Here is another picture of how the Jeep sits now. I think the ZJ springs would provide a little more lift than the TJ Rubicon springs, as I have heard Rubicon TJ springs are good for about an inch over stock. I can't confirm it, as I don't have a set of the TJ Rubicon front springs here to test.
Manual Addict
Guys, your magazine rules. I mean, it's straight-up-American, hair-on-your-chest, beer-in-one-hand, wrench-in-the-other fun! And I just renewed for another two years -- so maybe you can answer because I'm super loyal.
Speaking of hair on my chest and a wrench in my hand, I need some advice. My love for manual transmissions started before I could drive, so it's inevitable that it would come to this. I did my first manual swap from an auto on a BMW racecar I drove, and that wasn't too bad...so on to my next project.
I've checked the forums, and yeah, they're okay for basics, but then you get the "Why would you want to do that!" guys who just want to stir the pot. And others who say, "Just buy a manual XJ." To me, that defeats the point. I love my XJ, have owned it for years, so I'd rather improve it, not trade it for something else whose history is unknown. Plus, manuals are more fun, plain and simple, and part of the fun is saying, "Yeah, I did that."
My Jeep is a '99 with the 4.0L and AW4/NP242 combo. It's fine as it is, but the project will be to fit 35-inch tires and build a sweet rig that I want to have more control over -- so the manual swap is what I want to do. I know the AX15 is a good option and I would want the NP231 in there, but with possible 21-spline to the 23-spline conversion I now have, I'm not sure what I would need. Can you give me a rundown of a swap like this and maybe help with things I have not thought of? I would greatly appreciate it. You rule.
Bryan Palmer
Via email
Merica! Need I say more! Well, Bryan, like you I am a manual addict. I'll admit it. I'd rather row gears in almost any situation then let a slushbox do whatever it is that they do. Now having said that, the AW4 in an XJ is probably one of my favorite Jeep autos of all time. They are pretty bulletproof when taken care of and have a decent First gear ratio and a nice Overdrive. I can, however, understand your interest in having a five-speed in its place, but I do think the path of least resistance (especially if your Jeep is not highly modified) is to look for an XJ with a manual from the factory. Why? Well, swapping is gonna be a fair amount of work. You'll need to find so many parts from a similar year XJ with a manual that you might as well buy it, if for nothing else, just to have all the parts. You are gonna need the the manual XJ ECU (or the Jeep will at least throw a check engine light), transmission, pedal assembly, bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing and hydraulic stuff, driveshafts, etc. You could use an AX15 out of an earlier XJ, or maybe one from a Wrangler (the T-case clocking will be different in a Wrangler), but you'll still need the manual tranny, ECU from a similar year XJ, and all those other parts I already mentioned. If you want to go to a NP231, get one from a 4.0L H.O.-powered XJ with an AX15 (again, because of possible clocking issues) so the spline-count and stickout length match. While you're at it, grab the T-case shift linkage as well.
I'm not saying you can't do this swap, because I am sure you can. I'm just not sure it's worth the effort when factory-equipped manual XJs can be found. If you decide not to do the swap, I'd look to trade into a '95-'96. The '97-'01s with a manual are gonna be few and far between, although they do exist. I had an '01 with an NV3550 and an NP231 for a few years. One last suggestion is that if you have to do a manual swap and you wanna spend cash and start a major project, look into swapping to a NV4500. It's big (may require cutting the floor), heavy, and getting rarer with the super low First gear, but it will add a granny First gear while retaining overdrive
Renix or H.O. Identification
How can I figure out if my '90 4.0L XJ with an auto is running a Bendix- Renault (Renix) or H.O. fuel injection? It runs fine and it does not smell of fuel, but opening the hood I don't have any information about the type of fuel injection. The Jeep does not have a C101 connector on the firewall.
Via email
Marco, if you are sure your XJ is a '90 and not a '91, then it should be running the Renix system. Our own Pete Trasborg reports that the Renix-to-H.O. change is pretty solidly between a '90 and '91 XJ. And he also says that yours could be Renix even without the C101 connector on the firewall, as the C101 was phased out in the '89 model year. In other words, before the switch to H.O. injection. The easiest way to check is to look at the throttle body. If it has a square four-bolt pattern to the intake (shown), it is an H.O.-injected 4.0L. If it has a triangle shaped three-bolt pattern, you have the Renix injection.
Long-Arms on a CJ?
I was hoping to do a custom suspension on my CJ-7, but my problem is that I can't find a kit I want to use. I was hoping to do a long-arm style on the rear, but I can't find a long-arm kit for an '85 CJ-- or any CJ for that matter. I found a kit for an '85 Jeep Cherokee, and I'm wondering if the kit for the Cherokee will fit the CJ-7. If not, how much modification would have to be done to the kit and my Jeep for it to work correctly? I was also planning on doing away with the fan on the motor and putting an electric fan on it.
Hunter Boring
Via email
Hunter, there are a couple of routes you can take with your suspension dreams, but more on that later. First I am gonna answer your second question. I would not swap the mechanical fan for an electric one. A stock mechanical fan in good working order will reliably cool your CJ-7. If it is not, then you probably have other problems. Your radiator could be filled with junk, keeping it from cooling properly, or your water pump or thermostat could be malfunctioning. I'd start with those first, toss in some new hoses, a new fan clutch, and a good coolant flush and see if that won't clear up any cooling issues.
Getting back to your first question, there are several aftermarket companies that can help get you started with a link-style suspension. Unfortunately a long-arm conversion for a Cherokee probably won't help much because a Cherokee and a CJ-7 are very different designs. First of all, and I am not sure which long-arm Cherokee conversion you found, but Cherokees already have coil front suspension, while your CJ will have leaf springs on all four corners. Converting to a long-arm or link-style suspension will require lots of modification to the frame of your CJ and the axles. You could get a pretty good start with a three- or four-link like those offered by Synergy Manufacturing (synergymfg.com). They have the parts to build the links and brackets for the frame and axle, but you'll have to figure out how to mount coilovers, coils and shocks, or air shocks to complete the suspension and set the ride height. Oh, and welding…yep, you are gonna have to do lots of welding. Another more complete option is the Black Diamond Xtreme Coil Link Conversion System from Superlift Suspension (superlift.com/suspension/jeep/BD-XCL). This is a complete link and coil conversion available for a CJ designed a few years back, but in general the XCL is a pretty tall lift and yields a pretty soft suspension that some have called unstable because of the relatively narrow rear coil mounting points. If I were you, I would spend more time looking into modifying and improving your leaf-sprung suspension to perform better before getting too crazy with a coil conversion. If you want a coil conversion, find someone with a CJ that performs the way you want yours to and figure out what they did to it.
A Flattie and a Buick Walk Into a Bar…
Hello, I was reading your article about the headers in your '49 CJ-3A. I think I have found a Buick V-6 for my '50 CJ-3A, and I think that since you have already done this, you could save me from reinventing the wheel by telling me what you had to do to make the swap. Maybe there is an article you wrote on the project? How difficult a swap is it? Where did you get the motor mounts and what about transmissions and transfer case hookups? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I know this has been done a lot, and the CJ-5s came with the V-6. I just don't know how much trouble I'm looking at to do my CJ-3A. Harry Hill
Via email
Harry, the Buick V-6 is a great mill to have in a flattie. The fact is the Spicer 18 transfer case is one of the coolest Jeep parts out there -- mainly because bolting on an external Saturn, Warn, or ATV Manufacturing overdrive allows for low axle gears that are great for crawling but still get reasonable highway speed thanks to the Overdrive. The problem is that this part, the Spicer 18, which allows so many gearing options is not up to the task of handling huge power. A Buick V-6 offers a pretty sweet package that fits well in flatties and early CJ-5s without totally overwhelming the internals of the Spicer 18 the way a V-8 can. Unfortunately, I don't have an article on my own Buick V-6 conversion, but I can answer many of your questions. First you have to decide if you want an earlier odd-fire or a later even-fire Buick V-6. There are plusses to both, and either will make for a great engine in a flattie. Many people have swapped them between the fenders of a Jeep. The odd-fire (ranging from the early '60s in Buick cars to '65-'71 in Jeeps and then '75-'77 again in Buick cars) has a huge, heavy flywheel that helps externally balance the engine with its odd…odd-fire system (pun intended). That heavy flywheel helps maintain engine inertia to build with low-end torque, keeping the odd-fire running even when lugged down to really low RPMs (like in rocks or crawling up hills). Problems with the odd-fire are that they are starting to get a bit long in the tooth, and usable used parts are harder and harder to find. Also, the odd-fire nature of the engine rules out some fuel-injection systems. The newer even-fire Buick V-6 is a bit more common in junkyards and can easily be fuel injected. And, HEI ignition is available from the factory. The even-fire engines are internally balanced and lack the super-heavy flywheel that helps the odd-fire lope up hills and all over the rocks, but parts are easier to find and the even-fire is still a brick poop house of a V-6. These even-fire engines can be found in lots of old boxy rear wheel drive Buicks, Oldsmobiles and the like both as a 3.8L (in '78-'84 cars) and as a 4.1L (in some '80-'84 cars) with a forged crank and an aluminum four-barrel intake. Either way, both Buick V-6s have tons of aftermarket support in the form of bellhousings, performance parts (like headers), conversion motor mounts, and so on. Many of these parts fit both even- and odd-fire, although some are specific. Be sure to verify before placing an order.
Basically, I got my '84 even-fire 3.8L Buick from a junkyard from a wrecked Oldsmobile. I added a rebuilt HEI distributor from a '79 even-fire Buick V-6 from the local parts store (the '84 has some computer controls associated with the factory carb that I did not want to mess with). I then sourced motor mounts, bellhousing (to adapt the engine to a Ford T-18 transmission), pilot bearing, and adapters to retain the Spicer 18 T-case (behind the Ford transmission) from Advance Adapters (advanceadapters.com). I was also able to get a brand new-even fire Buick flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, clutch fork, and so on from Centerforce (centerforce.com). Add on a TBI injection system from Howell Engine Developments (howellefi.com), and I had nearly all the major parts for my conversion. That meant I was then able to install the Buick engine and Ford transmission in my flattie without having to spend lots of time scrounging around junkyards or swap meets to dig up parts that might not even fit. So, to reiterate, you'd have to decide odd- or even-fire and start tracking down some parts. Just be wary of any Buick V-6s built after 1982 and found in front-wheel-drive cars, as they may have a different engine-to-transmission bellhousing bolt patterns. Other good options for an engine swap in a flattie would be a Chevy 4.3L V-6 and a hand full of more modern four-cylinders.
Low, Low, Low Spicer 18 Follow-Up
I'd like to give Mike Gardner (Your Jeep, Oct '13) another lead for his super-low, low range Spicer 18. In 2003 I had a 4.86:1 low range installed in my transfer case by a company called O'Briens 4 Wheels West. I just searched the Internet for them; they apparently don't have a website, but their address is 1302 Hidden Court, Roseville, California, 95661-5882, 916/773-3278. I'm very happy with the conversion. This gearset eliminates the ability to use a Saturn or Warn overdrive, though, because of the small size of the input gear. I think you can use a Saturn Overdrive with the Tera Low gears -- some of them, anyway.

Thanks for letting us know about this! To be clear, TeraFlex's website says their 18LOW does work with both Warn and Saturn Overdrives.

Mental illness can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or income. Each year, roughly one in four Americans will be affected by some form of mental illness. When treated, rates of recovery are high. However, fewer than half of those with diagnosable mental illnesses will seek treatment.
Many reasons exist for not seeking treatment:
1. Mental illness may not be recognized in the first place.
2. There may be an incorrect belief that the illness cannot be treated.
3. The negative label or stigma linked to mental illness may prevent people from seeking treatment.
Stigma exists when people do not fully understand mental illness and those affected by it. The results of stigma can be profound. In those with mental illness, stigma can result in social isolation. It can result in difficulty loca (More)

Retailer Information
Backs of the Virginia credentials display two barcodes. A linear barcode is an inventory control number used in the card production environment. A 2-D barcode includes the cardholder's information that is also printed on the face of the card.
Effective July 1, 2014, Virginia merchants may only scan the barcode on an individual's DMV-issued ID card or driver's license in certain circumstances. These circumstances include:
- Verifying the authenticity of the ID card or driver's license
- Verifying the identity of an individual if the individual pays for goods or services with a method other than cash, returns an item, or requests a refund or exchange
- Verifying an individual's age when providing age-restricted goods or services
Except in limited circumstances, merchants are prohibited from selling or disseminating to a third party any information obtained from a scan of the barcode of an individual's identification card or driver's license for any marketing, advertising, or promotional purpose. Persons aggrieved by a merchant's violation of these requirements may bring an action to recover damages of $100 per violation, and may be awarded reasonable attorney's fees, and court costs. Refer to the Code of Virginia §§ 59.1-442, 59.1-443.3, and 59.1-444 for more information on Virginia law regarding retailers' use of barcodes on DMV-issued credentials.
To protect the security and integrity of Virginia's secure cards, DMV has discontinued providing sample cards. To ensure you have the information you need to use the 2-D barcode, use the barcode reader calibration sheet with specifications and a sample barcode to test in your readers.
Two Card Formats
In 2009, Virginia began issuing newly-designed secure credentials from a central processing facility. All 80 full-service DMV locations statewide use this issuance process. Since Virginia credentials are valid for five to eight years, you may continue to see two Virginia card formats until at least 2017.
Out-of-State Credentials
Driver's license applicants are issued temporary driving permits, valid for 30 days, which allows individuals to drive until they receive new licenses. Identification card applicants receive receipts. Neither the receipt nor the temporary driving permit is valid for identification.
DMV returns the old licenses or ID cards to customers for use as identification until they receive their new licenses or ID cards in the mail. If an individual is new to Virginia and has an out-of-state licenses or ID card, DMV will invalidate the out-of-state card and return them to the customer. The customer can use this card as identification until they receive their new Virginia credentials via mail. DMV invalidates each out-of-state card by punching a hole through it. Your organization can continue to use invalidated out-of-state credentials as proof of identification.

just wanted to ask wether you guy have the same issues with DW2 on the PSP that I am currently encountering.
The game runs considerably faster than the last I tried it, it seems perfectly playable (tho there are some slowdowns in areas like High Energy Facility).
Apart from sound stuttering from time to time (MS reading speed? could it be improved by 'unpacking' or 'compressing' the sounds somehow? I remember it helped with Lucas games like FT or The Dig), there is some random loud sound squeeking.
Sounds pretty much like PC SPEAKER from time to time. Try leaving the game on the Unseen University map and listen to the sound.
Any solution to this problem? I know Discworld isn't officially supported yet, but given how I didn't encounter it in the PC port, I thought it'd be wise to ask about it.
I tried both the newest nightly SVN build (28 FEB) and Pix's one (based on the same SVN as far as I recall).
And forgive my English today, I am dead tired - haven't slept in 48 hours, I'll edit the post tommorow
Best regards.
Forgot to add, I'm using PSP-2000 (Slim); using the ScummVM executable with all the engines included and a dynamic loader.
Not the Tinsel seperated one.
quote: Originally posted by Jinx1337Sounds pretty much like PC SPEAKER from time to time. Try leaving the game on the Unseen University map and listen to the sound.
I don't have a PSP, but on that screen, there are two different sound effects playing from time to time: an electrical "bzzzz" sound from the lightning on the High Energy Facility and squeaking from the bats circling the tower.
Are you sure that's not those, sounding like they should?
Could you maybe record what you're hearing?
quote: Originally posted by Jinx1337Sounds pretty much like PC SPEAKER from time to time. Try leaving the game on the Unseen University map and listen to the sound.
Nope, that sounds exactly like a loud, high-pitched PC Speaker going crazy lol.
Sure, I'll record it!Last edited by Jinx1337 on Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:29 pm; edited 3 times in total
Recorded and uploaded; it's all fine throughout the intro. Once the game starts, it happens everywhere on random intervals.Last edited by Jinx1337 on Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:06 pm; edited 1 time in total
I'm getting the same thing on a phat with a build from a few days back. I'm fairly sure this didn't happen in older versions but it's not a game I've played much yet.
Do I file a bug report then?
Yeah, that really is wrong. Please, file a bug report.
This is not PSP exclusive. Posted the info here.
Fixed already, guess we have to wait for another nightly build to test it.
Hi,i have created a save folder in the discworld2 directory and set the path in options but am unable to save.Could you let us no how you got around this.
Ignore the above , after playing around i stumbled across right trigger and start which brings up the save screen.....DOH!!
big thanks to the scumm team for this!!

Director's Corner
30 March 2006
Barry Barish
It is my great pleasure to announce the appointment of Professor Mitsuaki Nozaki of Kobe University of Japan as the new GDE Asian Regional Director, succeeding Professor Fumihiko Takasaki.
Following my appointment as GDE director one year ago, the first key appointments I made were the three regional directors: Brian Foster for Europe, Gerry Dugan for the Americas and Fumihiko Takasaki for Asia. Our three regional directors were given the charge of coordinating the programs within the GDE for Europe, Asia and the Americas and helping implement the projects and priorities within those regions. We have been very fortunate to have three outstanding regional directors.
As we developed a globally conceived "baseline configuration" last year, the regional directors played a critical role in insuring that our processes were truly global, regional interests were understood, and we balanced the global needs and priorities against regional interests. Balancing these interests is a crucial element in developing a truly global design, a global R&D program and international management for the International Linear Collider.
As regional coordinator for Asia, Fumihiko Takasaki played a crucial role in developing the Asian GDE effort over the past year. The Asian ILC and GDE efforts include an ambitious and growing R&D program at KEK, strong participation in the GDE Baseline and RDR efforts, and a broadening participation in the GDE and ILC. Fumi has been energetic and instrumental both in developing the Asian regional program, and in serving as a member of the GDE Executive Committee, where our top level global policy decisions are made.
I have very much valued Fumi's role on the GDE Executive Committee and we have relied on his advice. Unfortunately for us, Fumi's great talents are also well recognized at home, and he has been appointed as the directorship of Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies (IPNS) at KEK as of 1 April 2006. In this new position, he will no longer be able to serve as the Asian Regional GDE Director. I wish him well in his new position, and am confident he will do an outstanding job.
Our new Asian Regional Coordinator, Mitsuaki Nozaki, is the chair of the Japanese High Energy Physics Committee (JHEPC). Mitsuaki will be moving from Kobe to KEK, where he will become a Professor and the Deputy Director of Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies (IPNS), as well as serving in his new role in the GDE. His GDE role will build on a long term research involvement with high energy collider experiments, previously having been a collaborator on JADE at PETRA-DESY, OPAL at LEP-CERN and ATLAS at LHC-CERN. In addition, Mitsuaki's broad interests have included involvement in an important cosmic rays experiment, BESS, which has performed a sensitive search for cosmic antimatter.
I want to warmly welcome Mitsuaki Nozaki to the GDE and personally state that I very much look forward to working closely with him, as we move forward on our mission of developing a global design for the ILC.

Iraqi court sentences Sunni VP to death for 2nd time over alleged assassination plot
BAGHDAD – An Iraqi court on Thursday unexpectedly convicted the country's fugitive Sunni vice president on charges of instigating bodyguards to assassinate a senior government official and sentenced him to death.
The verdict was the second death sentence for Tariq al-Hashemi in less than two months, and is likely to stoke further resentment among Iraq's minority Sunni Muslims against the Shiite-led government.
The sentence is unlikely to be carried out any time soon because al-Hashemi has exiled himself in neighboring Turkey. He fled Iraq in December 2011 after the government accused him of playing a role in numerous attacks.
The criminal court in Baghdad also sentenced al-Hashemi's son-in-law, Ahmed Qahtan, to death on the same charges, said Supreme Judicial Council spokesman Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar. He said the two men were convicted of encouraging bodyguards to kill an official by sticking a bomb to his car.
Al-Hashemi's top lawyer said he was surprised to hear about the ruling because the vice president's legal team had not been made aware of this case. The attorney, Muayad Obeid al-Ezzi, immediately questioned the legality of the decision.
"None of al-Hashemi's lawyers attended this trial, which was done quickly. What happened today is another negative sign that the judiciary system in this country is not fair," he said. "Nobody contacted us regarding this trial, and this proves again that the cases against al-Hashemi are politically motivated."
Al-Hashemi is a longtime opponent of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim. The government has accused the vice president of playing a role in 150 bombings, assassinations and other attacks from 2005 to 2011. That was a period when Iraq was mired in retaliatory sectarian violence that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein's Sunni regime.
The allegations sparked a political crisis when they were announced the day after U.S. troops withdrew from the country last December.
Al-Hashemi has denied the charges, which he says are politically motivated.
An aide to al-Hashemi said the vice president is currently in Saudi Arabia, where he was taking part in the annual hajj pilgrimage. The aide downplayed the latest conviction, calling it part of "an ongoing farce." He spoke on condition of anonymity because he concerned he might also face charges.
Al-Hashemi and Qahtan were convicted and sentenced to death by hanging in an earlier case on Sept. 9. In that ruling, the men were found guilty of organizing the murders of a Shiite security official and a lawyer who had refused to help the vice president's allies in terror cases.
A wave of bombings and shootings erupted across Iraq just hours after al-Hashemi's last sentence was announced, killing at least 92 people in one of the deadliest days this year.
There was no immediate word of violence following Thursday's court decision.
A ruling had been expected to come as early as Sunday in yet another case against al-Hashemi involving an alleged car bombing attempt. Thursday's decision was not connected to that trial, al-Ezzi said.
Associated Press writer Sameer N. Yacoub contributed reporting.

WILMINGTON � A Wilmington woman has pleaded guilty to federal sex-trafficking charges.
Twenty-year-old Alexandrea Berte entered the guilty plea in Wilmington this week. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 when she is sentenced later.
Prosecutors say Berte was part of an interstate sex-trafficking operation that set up operations in Wilmington and Winston-Salem.
Prosecutors say last fall Berte drove three women from Lumberton to a hotel in Wilmington to have sex with men. She then drove the group to Winston-Salem.
She was arrested for a traffic violation when she was driving the women from Winston-Salem to Nashville, Tenn.

Left-leaning Twisted Yarn Over
Make a normal yarn over. On the following row, purl this yarn over through the back loop.
In working these increases, you are using the yarn over to reserve the yarn that will form the twisted loop at the base of the increase. Because extra yarn has, in effect, been set aside, the twisted loop does not need to pull yarn from its neighbors. The drawback of these increases is that they are worked over two rows, requiring a bit more attention on the part of the knitter.

this week vs. SF?
It wouldn't be much of a let down as SF is a good team, but they just got embarrassed by NY and I'm sure they're going to do whatever than can to fix what went wrong, we just got a nice win (vs. a very suspect defense) and are acting like we are hot shit now (sorta like dallas in week 1, sorta, some people) and are going up against a great defense this week.
We all have seen how bad our offense can sputter against a good D this year. Alex Smith has always played fairly well vs. Seattle with less talent and weapons. Oh and btw, we arent exactly Road Warriors. we did play SF well last year but I am really, really worried about this game.
this feels like the Rams game to me...

Industry-optimized sensors let users customize the Promass 100 for food, beverage, life sciences, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries.
Endress+Hauser introduces the Proline Promass 100 transmitter. The Promass 100 transmitter can be combined with industry-specific sensors, materials and finishes so it can be used in food, beverage, life sciences, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries.
The Promass 100 measures mass flow, volume flow, density, viscosity, concentration, and temperature with accuracy up to ±0.05%, and with immunity from process and environmental influences. All measurements are fully traceable as the flowmeter is certified on calibration rigs accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
Seamless system integration is possible via EtherNet/IP and Modbus RS-485 digital communication (future 4-20mA with HART and PROFIBUS DP). Wiring is via an M12 plug, allowing easy and quick connections.
The flowmeter is approved for operation in Zone 2 and Class 1, Division 2 hazardous areas; and with the intrinsically safe Modbus output, it is approved for Zone 1 and Class 1, Division 1.
The wide range of industry-optimized sensors ensure accurate measurement and compliance with guidelines and regulations in different industries. The Promass 100 can be combined with a wide variety of Endress+Hauser's sensors, and industry preferred fitting options, finishes and certificates are available.
For example, the Promass P 100 for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries is a single-tube system designed specifically for sterile processes. It meets ASME-BPE 2009, ISPE, FDA, EHEDG and 3-A process codes and standards. The Promass P 100 features a self-drainable hygienic design that is cleanable on the inside and outside, and withstands CIP/SIP cleaning cycles.
The Promass S 100 for the food and beverage industries conforms to all 3-A, EHEDG and FDA requirements. It provides a gentle, non-invasive measurement of the product without causing shear force. It also is drainable and withstands CIP/SIP cycles with immediate return to normal operation, including high pressure or steam jet cleaning.
Other models include the Promass I 100, which offers an in-line viscosity measurements option, complies with 3-A requirements and is piggable, the Promass F 100 with ultimate measurement performance and secondary containment for use in pressures up to 580 psi and compliance with EHEDH and 3-A requirements, and the economical Promass E 100 used in legacy volumetric meter replacement applications.
Diagnostics and Commissioning
Clear categorization of errors according to NE107 enables targeted reaction to any flowmeter or process errors. The entire instrument is constructed in a modular fashion, reducing downtime as service usually consists of just replacing the faulty module as directed by the diagnostic instructions.
The Endress+Hauser HistoROM data handling system reduces downtime significantly, as calibration data and transmitter parameters are stored and can be automatically reloaded after a maintenance or repair event. The HistoROM data handling system also provides local data logger and event logbook functionality.
The display-less Promass 100 can be commissioned either from the control room via a digital fieldbus communications link, or locally via any web browser as the instrument includes an embedded web server.
The web server allows a user with the correct password to connect to the flowmeter via any web browser without any additional tools, software or communication boxes. All that is required is a LAN network cable, and a laptop with a RJ45 network plug. Web server functionality includes full parameter access, upload and download of parameter settings, troubleshooting and diagnostics.
For more information about the Promass 100, go directly to the product page at: www.us.endress.com/promass-100

Monday: 20 Steps to Creating Web-Based Library Services
Tuesday: Ebooks: Putting the Issues on the Table (panel discussion with Dick Kaser, Bobbi Newman, Amy Affeft, and Faith Ward)
Wednesday: Talk About: Publishers, Distributors, and Terms of Use (panel discussion); Getting Things Done: Tips & Tricks (with Niccole Westbrook and Colleen Harris); and Digital Content Frustration: Copyright, Licensing, & DRM

Ecstasy and delayed seroconversion
Aug 3, 2012
I have used ecstasy recreationally for the past year and a half. Sometimes more than once a weekend, sometimes not for a few weeks or months at a time. However, all together I would say I have used it a lot. I have read about ecstasy use damaging your CD-4 cells and I am wondering if this would cause a delayed seroconversion to being HIV positive. I received negative test results at 4 1/2 months and a little over 5 months.
Response from Dr. Fawcett
Thanks for writing. I know of no medical literature documenting of ecstasy and delayed seroconversion. There is, however, evidence that ecstasy is immunosuppressive, that is, it reduces CD4 counts (along with other negative effects). Anyone living with HIV should use caution and speak honestly with their physician about recreational drug use.

Off the tourist trail in Southeast Asia: 5 underrated cities
Modern Bangkok, historical Hanoi and tourism-boom town Siem Reap — home to the world-famous Angkor Wat temples — are some of Southeast Asia's best drawcards…
Climbing the mountain has become a must-do in Borneo itineraries. For the thousands of people who come here annually to haul themselves up, the process is made easier by a well-defined, 8.5-kilometre-long path that weaves up through jungle on the southern side to the bare granite of the summit.
Despite its popularity, it's a very tough trek and not to be undertaken lightly. Even given perfect weather conditions, there's a remorseless, freezing, final pre-dawn ascent to contend with and it's quite possible to suffer from altitude sickness and not get to the top. Bad weather can also scupper an ascent, or at least make it a pretty miserable experience.
Don't undertake the challenge unless you are fully prepared with suitable clothing and in good general health. If you suffer from vertigo then you shouldn't have a problem on the route up to Laban Rata (where there's foliage to hide any drops), or even for the summit ascent (since it's in the dark), but the way down from the summit may cause you problems.
If you want to do the climb in just one day – an option only available from tour operators based in KK – then you can substantially cut costs. This does, however, mean an exceptionally long and tiring day on the mountain, while the view from the top will almost certainly be obscured by clouds by the time you get there. Getting a permit for a day-trip can also be difficult. All in all, it isn't really worth it.
For the vast majority of visitors, therefore, ascending and descending Gunung Kinabalu takes two days. The standard route begins at the park HQ, two hours from KK and 1588m up. It's possible to arrive on the morning of the climb, but spending the previous night in the area is a good idea; it gives time to acclimatize and means you can make an earlier start in the morning. Climbers then have to spend a night two-thirds of the way up the mountain in huts at Laban Rata, allowing for a final dawn ascent.
The accommodation on the mountain is often booked up long in advance, although tour operators in KK may be able to offer a package at short notice for an additional fee; you can also call direct in the hope of a cancellation. Avoid booking packages with overseas tour operators, which can work out a lot more expensive.
Essential items to carry with you include a torch (preferably a headlamp), headache tablets, suntan lotion, energy boosters (such as nuts, fruit and muesli bars), and a water bottle (there's unfiltered but drinkable water along the trail). Wear waterproof shoes or hiking boots with a good tread, and bring a few layers of warm clothing for the summit; the Laban Rata resthouse has a few jackets for rent, but you need to call ahead to reserve one. Most guides do not carry first-aid kits, so it's best to bring your own.
Get to the park HQ as early as possible: the last group usually sets off by 11am, but ideally you should be here by 9am, in order to reach Laban Rata before the hot water runs out in the showers. Call in at the Sutera Sanctuary Lodges reception to confirm your place at Laban Rata, then go next door to the Sabah Parks office to pay the various fees.
Besides the climbing permit, conservation fee and insurance, you must pay for a guide. All those charges are mandatory; some climbers also opt to pay for a porter (maximum load 10kg). If you're alone, ask whether you can join another group for company and to save on the guide fee. Lockers and a safe room are available at the HQ to deposit valuables or even your pack.

5 classic comedies Harold Ramis helped create
NEW YORK (AP) — You may not know his name or remember his face, but you have surely heard of at least some of the movies that Harold Ramis directed, helped write or appeared in. Here are five smash comedies created in part by Ramis, who died Monday at age 69:
— "Animal House": Fond of quoting from this all-time frat house favorite? Chances are you're quoting at least something written by Ramis, who worked on the screenplay with Douglas Kenney and Chris Miller.
— "Caddyshack": Another classic that fans can recite from memory. Give Ramis a lot of the credit. He was the director and collaborated on the script with Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray for this comic showcase for Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Chevy Chase and Ramis' pal Bill Murray as Carl Spackler, golf's most dangerous groundskeeper.
— "Ghostbusters": He was Dr. Egon Spengler, the quiet Ghostbuster alongside Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray in one of the biggest hits of the 1980s. He also wrote the screenplay along with Aykroyd and an uncredited Rick Moranis.
— "Stripes": Another high point for Murray watchers, with Ramis co-starring as a fellow military recruit and assisting on the script.
— "Groundhog Day": This unforgettable comedy about a weatherman who lives through the same day over and over was a breakthrough for Murray as an actor and stands 20 years later as a pop culture fixture. And Ramis, once again, helped make it happen. He directed and co-wrote the script with Danny Rubin.

Jason Bourne, man of multiple names and passports, is now three movies into a career as the world's most hotly pursued fugitive other than Harry Potter. Sought across glamorous datelines and establishing shots ("Paris, France") by the CIA agents who once had trained and used him, Bourne lives with constant danger but without personal baggage or a change of clothes, having long ago swapped his memory for a spy's tradecraft. You'd think a man with his problems and peculiar skills would sometimes decide to change his hair color, adopt a different wardrobe, put on a pair of Groucho glasses–anything to throw off the surveillance junkies, mind-control freaks and business-attired murderers of America's shadow government, who seem to operate everywhere against him. But Bourne stubbornly goes out in public wearing the face of Matt Damon, whose mug remains as invariable as his windbreaker and T-shirt.
This absence of disguise turns out to be the great joke of The Bourne Ultimatum, as it was (in retrospect) of the two previous Bourne adventures. As directed by Paul Greengrass, the new film patters along like a perpetual-motion étude, playing out an unbroken sequence of chases, fights, lies, betrayals, speed-smeared cuts and hand-held asymmetries, with very little held constant amid the blur except for the most recognizable actor. Improbably, hilariously, Matt Damon's Bourne hides in plain sight.
But instances of unconcealment abound in The Bourne Ultimatum. Since the trailer gives away one of the wittier examples–in which Bourne, having phoned his chief pursuer, laconically discloses that he's calling from the man's office–maybe you'll excuse me for mentioning a few more: the forged passport that's used just so it will be traced; the code that's employed in full knowledge that it will be broken; the truth that must never be revealed but is published in the Guardian at the start of the picture. If you were to stop and reflect at any point in The Bourne Ultimatum–a feat as likely, I'd say, as your managing to recite the Gettysburg Address while being tickled with a feather duster–you would notice that all operations in this movie are overt. The film's notion of maintaining a low profile? Stealing a New York City police car and crashing it through the Midtown streets.
Whether the source novel by Robert Ludlum was equally deliberate in its nonsense, I can't say. I have read enough of Ludlum to know that he, like other thriller writers of the 1970s and '80s, found the Church Committee report on CIA misdeeds to be a wonderful supplier of grotesqueries for his stories and of readers willing to believe the worst of their government. But although The Bourne Ultimatum is a Ludlum novel I haven't read, I'm reasonably sure this 1990 book did not accuse the CIA of wide-spectrum warrantless monitoring of telephone calls, forced rendition of suspects or the use of torture paraphernalia made famous in photographs from Abu Ghraib. These are features of our immediate era, as the movie's chief villain (David Strathairn) reminds us from his top-secret, antiterrorist panopticon, set high in a New York tower.
Come for the car chase, and get up-to-the-minute political commentary free!
Nothing timely intruded on the first film in the series. Released in 2002, The Bourne Identity lacked reference to any current events but made up for this omission with an evergreen critique of American policy toward developing nations, and also a little sex. Traditional pleasures: the light and color back then were painterly under Doug Liman's direction, the images sometimes lingered and Franka Potente in the skirt role offered Damon her own kind of dangerous foreign entanglement.

The Return of "Iron" Mike KeenanPosted by Anthony Mastantuoni under Uncategorized
No Comments
No, not with the Calgary Flames. The Calgary Sun is reporting that the Flames have hired Mike Keenan as their new head coach and that an announcement could some as early as today or tomorrow. The stories out of Calgary say that current Calgary coach Jim Playfair will remain with the oragnozation in some capacity – possibly as an assistant coach under Keenan.
If the announcement is made today, then it would come 13 years to the day that Keenan led the New York Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years.
Keenan's return should light a fire under a Flames team that underachieved this season and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Detroit Red Wings. Keenan goes to Calgary with the reputation and wanderlust for being both Coach and General Manager. Things could be different this time around because Flames GM Darryl Sutter received his first coaching job when Keenan was the GM of the Blackhawks.

With year 5773 now underway, it is important to realize the cultural and architectural prestige of these synagogues, and the place they hold in the hearts of congregants, passersby, and preservationists. As Jewish people pray for a better future, the history of these cornerstones is often overlooked. It is also significant to pray for their preservation for generations to come.
"This new building, raising its hands to heaven, is more than a sacred structure. It is an example of the type of thinking that will bring universal peace and solution of the problem that faces all mankind," were the bold words of Mayor O'Dwyer to 5,000 attendees on the steps of the newly dedicated Forest Hills Jewish Center on September 18, 1949. "Sacred institutions embodied the democratic ideal and principle."
The center's cornerstone was laid in 1947, and incorporated one stone from the Holy Land and another from a desecrated synagogue's ruins in Frankfort on the Main in Germany. The cornerstone reads, "That The World May Be Perfected Under The Kingdom Of The Almighty (1947/ 5708)."
Forest Hills Jewish Center is situated on Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser Square at 106-06 Queens Boulevard. It was organized in 1931 in a wooden frame house on Kessel Street, and then a two-story synagogue was erected on site.
Forest Hills Jewish Center was designed by Joseph J. Furman, and represents the Art Moderne and International Style. The front façade curves to the streetscape. Limestone steps with modernistic brass railings lead to varnished carved wooden doors with brass handles. Etched in limestone above the entryway is, "They Shall Build Unto Us A Sanctuary" and "That I May Dwell Among Them."
Limestone surrounds hold sleek stained glass windows, and are believed to depict the Burning Bush. The crab-orchard rock façade is reminiscent of the stone pattern of the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem; the only surviving remnant of the destroyed Holy Temple. On December 6, 1949, FHJC received Honorable Mention for its excellence in design and construction in the Queens Chamber of Commerce's public buildings category.
Stepping into the 1,400-seat sanctuary, the simplistic charming space is embellished by stained glass windows and the Aron Kodesh (Holy Ark). The over 20-feet-high elaborate golden ark depicts Judaic traditions and holidays, and was designed by the famed artist Arthur Szyk. This was his first 3-D creation for a synagogue, and resembles the breastplate of a Torah scroll.
It is unique how a Torah design element can serve as an inspiration for a larger than life model, which houses the Torah. Historians and critics consider the Ark to be one of the greatest works of 20th century Judaic art. Two of Szyk's candelabras sit adjacent.
According to the Arthur Szyk Society, Szyk's art was his means to promote ethnic and religious tolerance, human dignity, and social justice. Syzk worked in the tradition of 16th century miniaturist painters utilizing text and illustrations.
The famed Szyk Haggadah was given to Forest Hills Jewish Center. It became a work of hope and courage during Hitler's rise. It addressed the era's politics paired with earlier oppression. Referring to WWII, Szyk told the New York Daily Mirror on April 10, 1941, "The Revolution America fought was an ideal that any artist could thrill to. Today, art must be almost negatively directed against a force that destroys all ideals. But no true artist has the right to avoid using his strength to strike at the darkness."
The Times of London referred to his work as "among the most beautiful ever produced by the hand of man." Szyk is considered by art critics to be the greatest illuminator of the past four centuries.
Rego Park Jewish Center is another neighborhood cornerstone. The synagogue played a significant role in the Conservative yet Traditional movement in Rego Park. The congregation assembled in 1939, which was the time of the 1939 World's Fair, and when Rego Park and Forest Hills underwent sufficient development.
Situated at 97-30 Queens Boulevard, this Modernist building was designed in 1948 by Frank Grad & Sons, who also designed the Essex House on Central Park South. Rego Park Jewish Center was dedicated by Mayor O'Dwyer on September 26, 1948, when he declared, "The people of Israel will be free."
Several thousands marched from the original site at 63-51 Wetherole Street to its current home, including Rabbi Josiah Derby, FHJC Rabbi Bokser, and Reverend Northacker of the First Presbyterian Church of Newtown. It opened on January 15, 1949.
During the 1946 groundbreaking, O'Dwyer discussed the need to resettle thousands of displaced Jewish people following WWII's end. Notably, Eleanor Roosevelt presented the synagogue with a plaque of honor.
Rego Park Jewish Center is Bauhaus-inspired. Spanning much of its Queens Boulevard frontage is a colorful mosaic mural depicting Old Testament scenes and symbols. It was designed by A. Raymond Katz, a prolific 20th century Jewish artist. Katz also designed the stained glass windows on the front and side facades; the latter which dominate the main sanctuary.
He was famous for his ornamental treatment upon the Hebrew alphabet in conjunction with Judaic symbols. The sleek vertical stained glass window bands are crowned by Moderne tripartite granite lintels. The windows were crafted by J. Gordon Guthrie, who was known for his windows at Temple Emanuel, Riverside Church, and Church of St. Vincent-Ferrer.
Atop polished brown granite steps are three sections of paired wooden doors which bear biblical motifs in octagonal panels, and depict symbols such as a menorah, Tablets of The Law, and a hand holding a shofar. A large Modernist Star of David placed in a roundel is another focal element of the pier-enframed limestone façade.
In 2008, President Allen Trousdale of Grad Associates, the incarnation of Frank Grad & Sons, explained, "The fact that this act of faith in the future was occurring at a time when Nazi Germany had set upon a course of destruction of the Jewish people, makes the symbolism of the construction of this temple much more important than the architecture. Yet, it also has importance as architecture. The design is both a grand and a restrained architectural conception that has retained these characteristics for over half a century."
He nominated Rego Park Jewish Center for Individual Landmark status by sending a letter to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. A public hearing has not been calendared to date.
The synagogue's October 2009 placement on the State and National Register of Historic Places commemorates its historic and religious value to the community, and makes it eligible for funds for future restoration work.
Queens Borough President Helen Marshall honored the synagogue at a December 2009 ceremony. "Rego Park embodies decades of history, architectural character, and cultural heritage, and its listing is proof of its enduring value through generations," she said.

CAIRO (AP) — Palestinian militant group Hamas has confirmed the re-election of longtime leader Khaled Mashaal in a vote held in Cairo.
In a statement Tuesday, the group said the election came after voting by leaders from Gaza, in the West Bank, in exile and those in Israeli jails.
Mashaal, 56, led the group since 1996. He is a relative pragmatist who enjoys the backing of regional powers Turkey, Egypt and Qatar. He is expected to tackle the stalled reconciliation with West Bank leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Hamas wrested Gaza from Abbas in 2007. Since then, the rivals have established separate governments in the West Bank and Gaza.
Two Hamas officials said Mashaal ran unopposed in the Monday vote, winning the support of a majority in Hamas' Shura Council which has about 60 members.

And look how brief it is. Many people get so worried about not specifying things fully at the beginning... but really, having a strong vision upfront of what you want is just as important as documenting it down. At least, if you can create that vision yourself.

A level of skepticism pervades the global marketplace as economic and geopolitical events are largely set aside in favor of "irrational exuberance." The phrase, coined by former U.S. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, is appropriate today.
While first-time unemployment benefit applications declined by 16,000 to 339,000 as reported on Thursday, I have been indicating for some time that a declining number does not necessarily reflect an improvement in the U.S. labor situation. Any reduction in that number merely means that employers cannot lay off additional workers without having to close their doors. Productivity improvement is a result of having remaining workers do the work of two or more laid-off workers.
The labor department revised upward to 355,000 from the initially reported 352,000 first-time unemployment applications from the prior week. The situation remains critical. You cannot be happy about creating 150,000 jobs in a month while losing 350,000 weekly, or 1.2 million during the same period. The administration, nor the media, associates the two numbers.
Meanwhile, on Friday GDP was reported as 2.5% rather than the 3.2% analysts had expected. The extension of jobless benefits, in our opinion, merely perpetuates the problem and the eventual increase in mortgage and other credit defaults will soon come to roost. We once again suggest the conservative approach to investment holdings. Now for some actual information to hopefully guide our readers through the maze of ongoing global data releases…
Interest Rates: June U.S. Treasury bonds closed Friday at 148 27/32nds, up 29/32nds as the U.S Commerce Department reported GDP grew at 2.5% in the first quarter of 2013 against analyst expectations for a growth rate of 3%. In addition to that negative news, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer confidence index for April was 76.4 down from 78.6 in March. Bad news prompt ideas of continued QE by the U.S. Federal reserve putting pressure yields and upward pricing for treasury bonds and other interest rate instruments. Once again we view treasuries as in a trading range.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones industrials closed aqt 14,712.55, up 11.75 points and for the week managed a gain of 1.1%. The S&P 500 closed at 1,582.24, down 2.92 points but for the week gained 1.7%. the tech heavy Nasdaq closed at 3,279.26, down 10.72 points but for the week gained 2.3%. The slower rate of U.S. economic growth or GDP of 2.5% against expectation of a 3.2% rate prompted the selling pressure on Friday and the rally in treasuries, viewed as a safe haven. We continue to suggest strongly the implementation of hedging strategies for holders of large equity portfolios. Our programs may provide the needed risk mediation.
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index closed at 8254 on Friday, down 30 points tied to the disappointing GDP report showing an expansion of only 2.5% against economist expectations of a 3.2% rise. Other currencies posted gains with the Euro gaining 11 points to $1.3032, the Swiss Franc 25 points to $1.0608, the Japanese yen 137 points to 0.10206, the British Pound 39 points to $1.5478, and the Canadian dollar 34 points to .9824. The Australian dollar lost 17 ticks to close at $1.0241. We continue to favor the dollar if only in relation to what we feel is growing economic concerns in the Eurozone.
Energies: June crude oil closed at $93 per barrel, down 64c tied to disappointing first quarter U.S. economic growth which could negatively affect demand. For the week crude oil posted a 5.4% gain. We continue to prefer the short side of crude either through the futures market or the purchase of put options.
Copper: Copper continues its downward slide with July copper losing another 5.95c to close at $3.1830. Our intermediate goal of $3.00 is fast approaching and while we suggested taking some profits on short positions or put positions, we would hold some positions. Contact us for specific advice.
Precious Metals: June gold closed at $1,457.20, down $4.80 on late selling after having traded as high as $1,484.80 early in the session after the U.S. economic data. The "historic" safe haven has been a disappointment recently as expectation that some Eurozone members may be selling gold in order to meet their debt obligations. We continue to favor the sidelines in precious metals. July silver closed at $23.905 per ounce, down 27.7c for the same reason. June palladium closed at $681.95 per ounce, up 55c and July platinum gained $12.40 to close at $1,476.50 per ounce. We favor the sidelines here as well even though platinum and palladium benefit from any gains in automobile sales due to their use in catalytic converters and in oil refining.
