WELCOME ABOARD the Neverending Ocean Cruise! Welcome to the

Plans To Charge Customers For Pipeline Repair One year ago a
tragedy that could and should have never happened blasted its
way onto front page news in the Northern California Bay Area.
Sept. 9th, 2010: a PG&E pipeline exploded underneath a San Bruno
killing eight people and turning 38 homes to which they provided
gas into toothpicks and shrapnel. Get out your checkbook. Now
the Utility Company wants the VICTIMS AND CUSTOMERS TO PAY for
repairs for which it is solely responsible. After what we've
since learned, are not all customers of PG&E, essentially a
monopoly, now its potential victims? Seriously. That PG&E is
completely at fault has been verified by tons of evidence. There
were people in the PG&E organization well aware that they had a

Sony: Skip Celeb Voice Acting Let professional voice actors do
the dialog in games, and skip the marquee celebs - that's the
advice of Sony dialog manager Greg deBeer. Why? In an interview
with Gamasutra's Brandon Sheffield, deBeer said he feels
"hearing an identifiable celebrity voice takes you away from the
game." Instead of being immersed in this environment with these
characters who are supposed to be a part of whatever world
you're playing, you say, "Oh, I recognize that voice," and it
brings you back into the real world. It's a very disruptive
experience for me personally. I don't necessarily disagree, but
in the swap-over between games and English-dubbed anime, often
fans end up hearing familiar voices from one game to another,
anyway. These days I always hear at least one voice in a game
that I recognize, or think I recognize, and actually have to
pause the game to go and look it up and see whether I was right.
I guess it depends on the game - many times, character models

The Bible is a book used by weak cowards and ignorant simpletons
to deny the truth and reality of scientific evidence discovered
about the human race. The Old Testament was written from
1500-400 BC, mostly stories about societies that lived in
southwest Asia and northeast Africa. The New Testament was
written from 40-100 AD, primarily a collection of letters
written by two men named Paul and John, and four stories about a
man named Jesus. These tales discuss the political societies
involved with the Roman Empire. All of these civilizations have
very little in common with the modern culture of our human race,
and more than 90 percent of the quotes from the Bible are
completely irrelevant to the current issues in our society.
Nevertheless, it is extremely pathetic that more than 50 percent
of all Americans are hypnotized by the Bible so that they are
incapable to respond intellectually or logically to issues and
opinions that cause them fear. Generally, their only infantile

recognition was measured in conditions that systematically
reduced the amount of spectral information while preserving
temporal envelope information. Speech stimuli were spectrally
separated into several frequency bands. The temporal envelope in
each band was extracted by half-wave rectification followed by
low-pass filtering. Each resulting envelope was then used to
modulate a noise band with the same bandwidth and cut-off
frequencies as the original analysis band. Identification of
consonants (16 consonants in aCa context), vowels (8 vowels in
hVd context), and words in simple sentences (CUNY sentences) was
measured as a function of the number and frequency distribution
of analysis bands, the envelope filter cut-off frequency, and
overall spectral shaping. Results as a function of the number of

->''No, father; you may cut off my head, if you choose, but

Giovanni de la Fortuna''' An ArrangedMarriage is set up for a
young person (usually a daughter) by her parents, but the child
refuses to go through with it. Her refusal may be eventually
accepted, with or without a lot of conflict and drama, so that
she is free to remain single or marry her true love. Or, she may
suffer HonorRelatedAbuse, depending on just where on the
SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism the show is. In older
tales, a group of sisters may be offered the bridegroom; only
[[YoungestChildWins the youngest]] is willing to consent. She
invariably ends up with a fine bridegroom. The child may be
adult or underage, the trope covers the entire spectrum from the
nicest forms of ArrangedMarriage to OldManMarryingAChild.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013 "Why History Doesn't Matter" This
will apparently be the title of Professor Grumpy's new book.
His recent post at Historian on the Edge explores the difference
between a trained historian and someone with basic literacy
skills who writes and tells stories about the past. Here is a
taste of a post he calls "The Siege": ... [W]hile the
discipline has been bogged down in post-empiricist soul-
searching, history itself has been, to a considerable degree,
taken over by non-specialists. It is a platitude that ‘the
past’ has become public and that academic historians do not have
sole access to or control over it. Most of the volumes shelved
in the history sections of bookshops are not written by what I
consider to be historians. The history that appears on
television is similarly dominated by non-specialists. Usually
styling themselves ‘writer and historian’, ‘journalist and
historian’, ‘broadcaster and historian’ or whatever … ‘and
historian’, they are in most cases, in fact, wri

video thumbnail NYY@BOS: Lester limits Yankees to one run over
eight BOSTON -- It's about confidence with Jon Lester. Hasn't
it always been? "I heard some stories about [Lester] really
down on himself for not carrying the load last year," catcher
David Ross said. "And when you put that much pressure on
yourself, nobody can pitch through that." Ross and catcher
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, pitching coach Juan Nieves, manager John
Farrell and fellow starter Clay Buchholz all have talked about
Lester needing to lessen the pressure he puts on himself and
just pitch. The confidence will come. In Saturday's 5-1 win
over the Yankees, Lester pitched aggressively, carelessly, and
almost flawlessly. The game plan was the same as it was against
the Yankees last Sunday, which was the same as it was against
the Tigers five days before that: No nibbling. The 6-foot-4,
240-pound lefty only nibbled occasionally -- "unacceptable," he
called his two walks -- but he was mostly overpowering, holding

Getting Cash to Retailers Retailers look to specialty
finance companies for cash. Bankers don't make loans to
businesses they feel uneasy about. And one industry that has
long left many bankers cold is retailing. Not only are they put
off by retailers' erratic borrowing needs, but they blanch at
the thought of having to sell off a borrower's inventory to
recover capital. But if your retail business is having
trouble getting money, don't give up. It's worth it to contact a
financier who specializes in offering services to retailers.
Because he or she knows how the industry works, the retail
financier is more apt to see ways to manage the financial and
operational risks -- and increase your financing options.

that's become more active recently is Gordon Brothers, in

default_pool_size and max_client_conn? The defaults are odd.
PostgreSQL defaults to max_connections=100 while pgbouncer

always be higher than max_connections? Otherwise, what's the

connections). I'm confused. I'm looking for advice similar to

Letting Yourself Be Branded Will Steer You Wrong November 27,
2012 - 10:51 AM I am in the cattle business, as are many other
people in the part of Tennessee where I live. In fact, some of
us raise the same breed of cattle and they are extremely hard to
tell apart. And if, for some reason, two herds happen to get
mixed together, you could have a hard time telling yours from
your neighbor's. So, to prove ownership, I have a brand
registered with the State of Tennessee that nobody else can use
and any cow wearing that brand belongs to Twin Pines Ranch. That
way, if you can read brands, no matter how many different herds
get mixed together you can always tell who owns which cattle.
Branding cattle saves a lot of confusion and combats dishonesty

Programming CSIRAC Many of the founders of Australia ’s
computer software industry learned their programming skills on
CSIRAC. Clients could not just start operating CSIRAC. In
Sydney, they sat down with the programmers and worked out the
most effective way to squeeze the problem into the computer’s
small memory. In Melbourne, the Computation Laboratory offered
courses in programming, where users were taught exactly how the
arithmetic worked in the machine. In 1960 Geoff Hill finally
made CSIRAC easier to use, when he developed a programming
language called INTERPROGRAM. Throughout its life, CSIRAC
programmers wrote early computer games that used the small
screens on the console and the lights on the cabinet. Although
simple, they foreshadowed the versatility of later generations
of computers. Dick Jenssen wrote a game called ‘The way the
ball bounces,’ in which the user flicked a switch either up or
down. CSIRAC tried to predict the user’s next move, based on
their past choices. Kay Thorne was so adept

At a New High, Does Hawaiian Electric Still Have the Power to
Head Higher? Shares of Hawaiian Electric Industries (NYSE:
HE ) hit a 52-week high on Friday. Let's take a look at how the
company got there and see if clear skies are still in the
forecast. How it got here Hawaiian Electric Industries isn't a
household name, but with the stock hitting new highs it's bound
to turn some heads. The company itself is actually made up of
three electric utilities and a bank. This dual business approach
leads to both good and bad consequences. On the plus side,
electric utilities supply a necessity product that has little
price elasticity (unless it's heading higher) and the company's
banking investment portfolio yields semi-consistent cash flow.
On the other hand, the bank, and to some extent the utilities,
are at the mercy of the Hawaiian economy. If Hawaii's economy
dips into recession, chances are Hawaiian Electric Industries
isn't going to fare well, either. The good news for the company
is that Hawaii's econom

Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after leading the New York
Giants past Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 21-17 to win
the Super Bowl. Manning did the same four years ago when New
York ruined New England's perfect season. The latest one was
in older brother Peyton's house at Lucas Oil Stadium in
Indianapolis, Ind. The Giants (13-7), who stood 7-7 in mid-
December, now own their fourth championship title, and Manning
owns two Super Bowl MVP awards, the same number as Brady. It
was a classic can-you-top-this showdown, and Manning won. He
finished 30-for-40 for 296 yards and one touchdown, while Brady
was 27 for 41 for 276 yards, with two TDs and one interception.
Brady and coach Bill Belichick were in their fifth Super Bowl
together - that's the most by a head coach and starting
quarterback. They've had only lost five playoff games in their
collective careers Some of the fastest football action happened

post #1 of 1 Thread Starter I'm considering both options - have
not heard either. My use for either speaker(s) would be for
streaming MOG etc.attached to my laptop or smartphone and for
using outside on the deck attached to my smartphone. I would
gather that the Audioengine's would provide the best sound and
the foxL would be the more portable option (along with the

those who made a similar decision or who have heard either
possibility. Thanks!

Aircraft Pilots Photograph of American Navy ace David
McCampBell National Archives #80-G-373673 Aircraft proved to
be a decisive weapon during the Pacific War. However, no weapon
can be better than the men who use it. The Japanese had a clear
edge in pilot skill when war broke out, but the Pacific War was
characterized by a steady improvement in Allied aircraft pilot
skills and a steady degradation in Japanese pilot skill.
Japanese pilots The Japanese Navy began the war with superbly
trained pilots. None of the Japanese pilots involved in the
attack on Pearl Harbor had logged less than 600 hours of flying
time, and many flight leaders had over 1500 hours’ experience.
Flying the excellent Zero, Japanese fighter pilots were able to
sweep opposing aircraft out of the skies of the southwest
Pacific in the early months of the war. Japanese naval pilot
training emphasized quality over quantity. Selection criteria
were so strict that no more than 100 pilot candidates were
accepted in some years. Prior to 1940

Take the tour × Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an
algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$ and
let $B \subseteq G$ be a Borel subgroup. Set $X := G/B$, the
flag variety of $G$. Also let $F : X \to X$ denote the
(absolute) Frobenius morphism; this morphism is the identity on
points, and its comorphism is the $p^{th}$ power map on
functions. Let $M$ be a rational $B$-module. Then we have the
$G$-equivariant bundle ${\cal L} (M)$ on $X$ with fiber $M$. It
is not too hard to verify that there is an isomorphism $F^*
\mathcal L(M) \cong \mathcal L(M^{[1]})$, where $M^{[1]}$
denotes the first Frobenius twist of $M$. My question is: Since
$F_* \mathcal L(M)$ is a $G$-equivariant bundle on $X$ as well,
is there also a nice description of $F_* \mathcal L(M)$? That
is, there is some $B$-module $N$ such that $ F_* \mathcal L(M)

Hyundai Dealers Aren't the Only Ones Who Will Let You Return a

5 Modern Technologies That Are Way Older Than You Think With
modern science churning out inventions so quickly that our
phones are obsolete 48 hours after we buy them, we tend to
assume that pretty much every awesome thing in our lives is a
relatively recent innovation. And as we've reported before, that
impression often lands ridiculously far from the truth. Many of
the technologies we automatically peg as modern are actually
way, way older than we think. #5. The Fax Machine Was Invented
Before the Civil War Unless you're super old school or you
live in Japan, you probably know the fax machine mainly as that
mysterious thing gathering dust at the corner of your office.
But some of us do remember a time when these machines seemed
like magical saviors that prevented us from having to wait a
week for documents to get delivered (or lost) by the postal
service. It wasn't that many years ago -- that is, before email
was a thing -- that the fax was the cutting-edge king of the

Mac lovers hurting the Linux desktop? Could a group of Mac
addicts hurt the Linux desktop morre than it's already hurting
itself? Doubtful. I had to laugh when I read The Register's
title of a recent post: Mono man accuses Mac Gtk+ fans of
jeopardizing Linux desktop Umm...I don't think the Linux
desktop faces any real threat from a group of developers
advocating for change. I'm not sure a group of Mac fans could
possibly do the Linux desktop more harm than it has done to
itself. The Linux desktop is already in serious jeopardy, and it
has nothing to do with which developer kit people use to build
it, or changes to Gtk+. Miguel de Icaza disagrees: According to
de Icaza, developers working for Gtk+ specialist Imendio pushing
the proposal have "given up on the Linux/Gnome desktop." Having
switched to Apple's OS X as their main desktop, they are focused
on source code compiling to Macs with some changes, instead.

Building a world of resilient communities. The hydrogen dream
Last week I went to Longwy's university campus, the Institut
Universitaire de Technologie (part of the University of
Lorraine), for a conference on renewable energies and energy
efficiency. It was an event integrated in an InterReg project
for innovation, called Tigre, gathering institutions from
Lorraine, Saarland, Luxembourg, and Wallonie. It kicked off with
a session on tri-generation, and went on with parallel sessions
on waste biomass, and on hydrogen and fuel cells. I opted for
the latter, feeling really curious about the present state of
research on this field. Cesare Marchetti proposed hydrogen (H2)
as a large-scale energy vector almost fifty years ago. The main
concern then was to find a simple way to feed transport systems
with what seemed to be a fountain of energy about to come from
the expanding nuclear park. The nuclear dream is largely gone,
but hydrogen lives on. Is this dream about to come true as a

The 5 Questions That Will Tell You Everything About a Company's
Culture This summer, I was fortunate enough to be able to relax
and thoughtfully enter the next phase of my working life. For
the first time in my life, I could take the next step in my
career on my terms. After enjoying the spoils of working for
myself, I was ready to join a company again. This led to me
spending a handful of weeks looking for the perfect fit. As I
talked to friends and browsed company websites I found myself
caring about one question above all others: "What's it like to
work there?" In other words: "What's the company's culture?"
Cynical members of older generations like to point to some sort
of entitlement as the primary motivation here, but that's a lazy
assessment. As a job seeker, I prioritize culture not because I
like to have a cappuccino machine in the office. I prioritize
culture because I want to be dedicated without any reluctance or
regret. I want to believe that if I hustle I'll be moving some

moniker. The Gradiente iphone Neo One is a low-powered device
running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and only features a single core
700MHz processor and a low-res 320 x 480, 3.7-inch display.
There's a 5-megapixel camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing
offering, along with 3G connectivity, 2GB of storage and dual-

virtually incomparable with the all-conquering iPhone, it's

The HillTube Bachmann: Gov. Perry's HPV vaccine order was
'abuse of power' She told CNN that the parental opt-out for the
vaccine program did not change the fact that it could have
"devastating consequences." "Let's face it, when the government
tells parents you must have a vaccination for your child, you
have to go an extraordinary length in order to not do that for
your child," she said. During Monday's debate Bachmann claimed
Perry looked the other way because of a $5,000 campaign
contribution and because his former chief of staff was the head
lobbyist for the drug company that stood to benefit from the
program. Perry shot back, pointing out that he raises millions
of dollars and the company had given him just $5,000. "If you’re
saying I could be bought for $5,000 I’m offended," he said.

Thursday, June 4, 2009 Hi everyone! - LG15: The Last Hi
everyone! Thanks for all your support everyone The
Creataroos. 1. Did they not see the potential scheduling
conflicts beforehand? 2. i blame EQAL, no matter what they
say . :-) the scheduling conflicts probably didn't exist
when the contest was for an 8 week series starting in february.
3. "We hope that we can give you a finale that is LG15 worthy"
Be sure to have someone stuck in some pipes, set up
interactivity that you have no intention of following through
on, kill your most beloved character, and end on a cliffhanger
you never "tie up" (pardon the pun)...just to name a few.
Follow those easy steps and you too will have a finally that is

Q. Varicose veins make my legs look terrible. Is there anything
I can do to prevent these ugly veins from getting worse or,
preferably, make them go away? A. Varicose veins occur in about
25 percent of adults. They represent a failure of the veins to
keep blood flowing toward the heart. There is a genetic
component to varicose veins, but other risk factors include
prolonged standing, multiple pregnancies, and being overweight.
Varicose veins may cause legs to ache or throb. Treatment
usually starts with compression stockings, which help squeeze
blood out of the legs and back toward the heart. The stockings
should exert force below the knee, where the pressure that
distends and disrupts veins is the greatest. We also recommend
weight loss and keeping the legs elevated. Medications are not
very useful. If these measures don't stop the problem from
getting worse or provide enough relief from symptoms, a more
invasive intervention might be considered. These include
surgical removal of the veins (vein stripping

part of the ArsDigita Community System by Philip Greenspun and
Jesse Koontz The Big Idea A news item is something that is
interesting for awhile and then should disappear into the
archives without further administrator intervention. We want a
news article to serve as the focus of user comments. You could
use the /bboard system to accomplish the same function. If you
did, you'd get the advantages of file attachments, group-based
administration, etc. But we think that news truly is different
from discussion. We want to present it by date, not by topic.
The publisher probably wants to be very selective about what
gets posted (as news if not as comments on news). So it gets a
separate module. However, a Newsgroup approach allows a small
about of administrative control over group scoped news postings.
This module has three special newsgroups. The public newsgroup
contains news items that are accessed at the site wide scope.
The all_users newsgroup contains news items that show up on all

Monday, January 9, 2012 No *interesting* updates, but a lot of
updates. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for not
spitting on me. As many of you said, it's silly to feel so
dreadful about something so wonderful, but I think you also
understand that it's impossible not to. So many of the people
I've come to care about are going through particularly awful
things right now...I feel like I've been suddenly transformed
into your annoying fertile friend who's always popping out
babies while you suffer. I guess I'll just do my best to not be
an asshole (which I'm super good at, right?), but please, if you
can't bear to read this space anymore, don't feel one bit
conflicted about going away forever. Or at least until things
are better for you, which I dearly hope will be very, very soon.
And thank you also for offering reassurance. I have nothing new
to report on the uterine front. I've had a couple more spotting
episodes, and some stabbing back pain that made me certain I'd

Marie Sorvin-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire Quickly, here's what we
know, have heard from Roberto Luongo / Mike Gillis, or read from
people in the know since the Canucks' elimination from the 2012
NHL Playoffs: 1. Nick Kypreos reported that right after the
Kings series loss, a series that Cory Schneider finished, Luongo
had asked for a trade. 2. On July 6, Luongo told the media that
it was "time to move on". Cory Schneider had just been signed to
a new 3 - year $12 million contract and was/is clearly the
Canucks new starting goaltender. 3. In late July, Mike Gillis
said: "We’ve been given solid offers. Nothing we would do today.
We’re going to continue the process with the teams that are
interested." 4. Throughout the summer, Luongo is linked to
teams like Toronto, Chicago, Columbus and primarily Florida.
Luongo had already said back in July the Florida made sense. 5.

Clinton Kelly, host of TLC'sWhat Not to Wear, knows what many
women want and need — a makeover. So he's teamed with Macy's for
“Make Over America,” a nationwide tour to show women how to
upgrade their style. At 2 p.m. today, he visits Macy's at
Memorial City Mall to reveal makeovers of the 12 winners of
Macy's Make Over America online contest. We talked with Kelly
about the makeover process and why it takes a lot of work: Q:
How do you start a makeover? A: I ask the woman what her
lifestyle is like and how she'd like to see herself. Does she
want a great evening look or a weekend look? You have to know
where you are going before you start any journey. Q: Isn't
commun-ication essential to a good makeover? A: Yes. I tell
women it's their responsibility to communicate with me during
the makeover process. It's not just about me telling her what to
wear. It's about the two of us coming up with a style together.

A few things you should know about Lean Domain Search. What is
Lean Domain Search? Lean Domain Search is a fast new search
engine for finding available domain names. We help you find
domain names by pairing your search phrase with other keywords
commonly found in domain names and then instantly showing you
which are available to register. How accurate are the results?
Our search technique is extremely fast, but is only about 95%
accurate meaning that about 1 in 20 of the available search
results is actually registered. When you click on an available
domain name, Lean Domain Search will double-check that the
domain name is available. If it's not, it will be marked as
registered and will no longer appear registered for you or
anyone else. This way the search results become better over
time. How much does it cost? Lean Domain Search is 100% free
to use. How do you make money? We make money when you use the

Extradition zombie be43dotcom illegal extradition rights
Extradition zombie So there I was, poised to write an article
about the illegal,frightening and shameful shift in the
international extraditionlaws over the last 15 years – a move
that potentially puts all ofus, everywhere, at risk of being
snatched away to some bananarepublic show trial, sorry, the
fairly-weighted andconstitutional process that is the US legal
system.How was I hoping to do this? Well, by comparing and
contrastingthe “good old days”, way back in the 1990s when MI5
whistleblower,David Shayler, was able to rely on evidence to
defeat anextradition attempt by the Brits from France, and the
currenttreatment being meted out in New Zealand to Kim Dotcom
ofMegaupload fame.How was I hoping to achieve this? By linking
to media reportsfrom the late 1999s describing the Shayler
extraditioncase.But can I find them in media archives? No – they

A false economy Both the Liberals and the Progressive
Conservatives are promising to reduce the administration for
hospital services, each with a mainly similar plan to amalgamate
them into two or three centralized administrations. I feel this
is a backward way to improve health care. I’d like to provide
the following example to show my point. In 1996, the cities of
Halifax and Dartmouth joined with Bedford (and much of Halifax
County) to form Halifax Regional Municipality. This was done to
reduce staff and costs associated with them. I don’t remember
the exact figures but many firefighters were laid off, as well
as more than 200 police officers. Our city politicians claimed
it was due to boundary overlap. I found this reasoning to be
lame and even ridiculous. Whether the boundaries overlapped or
moved, the geography and population remained the same, and thus
both the hard working members of the police force and the fire
department had to do more with less. Since then, we’ve had to
bring back some of those

Bug#430566: xserver-xorg postinst calls xresprobe that makes

Severity: normal I'm running X with the i810 driver, and while
lh_* is bootstrapping the chroot the screen goes black for few
seconds (sometimes rebooting the machine, but this is more X
related than live-helper). The flicker is caused by an
execution of xresprobe and is reproducible. I think there is no
point in configuring X during the bootstrapping phase, but I
really don't know how it is done at runtime when the live CD
boots. If at boot-time xresprobe is not needed, it is only
recommended by xserver-xorg, so it may be blacklisted. ---

Portland, Oregon and Intelligentsia in Chicago and Los Angeles,
turned what used to be a simple cup of Joe into something

by Maialino, a restaurant in Manhattan, where head barista
Natalie Czech, showed us what it takes to make a perfect cup of
french press coffee, and why being coffee obsessed is worth the

I have a request. You see, I have a girlfriend. Her name is
Tina. We've been dating for a while. I'm 18, and she's turning
18 on December 23rd. There's just one problem. I can't be
there - I live on the other side of North America, and in
Canada. She lives in Wisconsin. I'll be there in June, but I
can't come for December. Lots of people she knows won't be
there. In fact, she feels like she just doesn't matter anymore.
And I want to show her she does. So, if you're so inclined,
please make a short video - just to say "Happy 18th Birthday,
Tina". I have 5 people, not including myself, currently involved
in this birthday project. I'm asking everyone I know, but I
don't know a lot of people. However, I want to get as many
people involved as I can. You don't have to know her, or me, you
just have to care to give some of you

Remedies for Jaundice Remedies for Jaundice that are useful By
Veena Deo The discussion in this article is about remedies for
Jaundice that can be followed very easily by all people.
Jaundice is a a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, tissues and
certain body fluids, caused by the deposition of bile pigments
that follows interference with normal production and discharge
of bile (as in certain liver diseases) or excessive breakdown of
red blood cells (as after internal hemorrhage or in various
hemolytic states). 2) Any disease or abnormal condition (as
hepatitis A or leptospirosis) that is characterized by Jaundice
also called Icterus. Obstructive Jaundice is something that
usually occurs when the bile ducts are blocked and bile cannot
pass into the intestines. If too much Bilirubin is produced by
the excessive breakdown of red blood cells, then Haemolytic
Jaundice occurs. It is very common in adults and in new born
babies. Symptoms include Skin becominf yellowish, the color of

Promising young actors including Eddie Peng and Aarif Rahman

PG&E has options besides raising rates I believe PG&E has other
options than to raise rates to protect its power substations and
other critical electric infrastructure ("PG&E planning security
measures," Page 7B, Feb. 11). At last year's annual meeting,
company officials clearly were concerned about security,
especially cyberattacks to the grid. PG&E and its shareholders,
I argued then, should not have to bear the full costs of
protecting against cyberattack from Iran or China. The
government should help in this as it is government negligence
that allows foreign nations to disrupt U.S. commercial and
government cyber resources. Government also has an economic
interest in safe operations of critical services like PG&E, and
government should provide financial assistance or security
manpower to safeguard power stations. PG&E should not be
burdened with the full costs of protecting against terrorist
attacks. Government must be an active partner in protecting our

criticize certain blacks (or certain black behaviors) and/or

not sure how I feel about that. Have you heard the new and
improved American narrative? I'm also not sure if I've got it
all myself, but it posits, nothing that's happened racially in
this country, up until the actual date of my specific birth, has

Maybe it's too much to hope for more than a prolonged flirtation
between libertarians and liberals on the issue of the War On
Drugs, but the fact that Radley Balko's blog post at Reason and
a diary on Dailykos from the ACLU elicit similar responses from
readers gives me hope. The case in question is the story of
Terry Ingle. Police somehow obtained a no-knock warrant despite
not, according to the ACLU, "presenting any evidence of why
Ingle posed a risk to police safety and without even a specific
reference to Ingle, who had no history of violence or drug law
violations." A SWAT Team (what the ACLU and Reason define as
"paramilitiaries") showed up at Ingle's house heavy and burst in
without identifying themselves (the point of a "no-knock"
warrant is to allow the Police to do this, supposedly to prevent
suspects from destroying evidence or fighting back). Ingle
picked up a broken gun to scare off what he thought were armed
robbers, and ended up getting shot up so bad he almost lost a
leg. The police found no

where the writers are Language to watch out for Specifically --
and most alarmingly -- the language I am referring to is:
"unelected body." It leads to tyranny, gang, and turning over
any of your rights as an American to an un-elected body is never
a good idea. There is much uproar in the "progressive" media
today about the Senate vote yesterday that defeated the UN
treaty on disabilities. (And let's take a quick moment to look
at the implications of "progressive;" a tricky word. Do you
automatically think progressive means a positive type of
progress? It could really mean something is progressing in a
direction that is not in your best interests in the long term.
Start looking at words, gang, really looking, and ask yourselves
in what way might a word be used as a weapon against you
psychologically, even if it comes draped in the garb of
something that feels good.) Defeating the UN treaty on
disabilities yesterday does not mean that the Senate and/or
Republicans, in general, want to be mean to and/or hav

Democrats put debt relief at center of midterm blitz The White
House and Senate Democrats are seeking to make relief for
student loan borrowers a pivotal issue in the 2014 elections.
President Obama on Monday signed an executive order to allow 5
million more borrowers to qualify under a student loan repayment
program that caps student loan payments to 10 percent of a
person’s discretionary income. Separately, the Senate is set to
vote on Democratic legislation that would allow student loan
borrowers to refinance their existing loans at a lower rate.
The twin efforts come amid signs that crushing student loan debt
is holding back the economy and preventing people from entering
the middle class and buying their first homes. The White House
and Democrats see student loan relief as a populist issue, and
would pay the $51 billion cost of the Senate bill over the next
decade with higher taxes on millionaires, a poison pill for
Republicans who have long opposed tax hikes. “I want Americans

Are banks taking dangerous mortgage risks? Lloyds bank sign
After we learned in 2007 and 2008 that banks in general had far
too little capital as a protection against losses on their loans
and investments, you would probably think that by now it would
be difficult to find examples of banks continuing to lend
several hundred times the sums they hold in reserves to protect
depositors and taxpayers against the risk of picking up the bill
when borrowers default. You might think that, but according to
the banking team at Morgan Stanley you would be wrong. In
gripping and slightly alarming research published this morning,
Morgan Stanley cites £143bn of high quality mortgages on the
books of Lloyds - and it calculates that Lloyds holds just £314m
of capital against the specific risk of these mortgages going
bad. In other words, Lloyds seems to have lent 455 times the
value of the capital earmarked in its balance sheet to absorb
losses, just in case these mortgages go bad. To put this in
another way, just 0.2% o

Implement MOSFET model Power Electronics The metal-oxide
semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a
semiconductor device controllable by the gate signal (g > 0).
The MOSFET device is connected in parallel with an internal
diode that turns on when the MOSFET device is reverse biased
(Vds < 0) and no gate signal is applied (g=0). The model is
simulated by an ideal switch controlled by a logical signal (g >
0 or g = 0), with a diode connected in parallel. The MOSFET
device turns on when a positive signal is applied at the gate
input (g > 0) whether the drain-source voltage is positive or
negative. If no signal is applied at the gate input (g=0), only
the internal diode conducts when voltage exceeds its forward
voltage Vf. With a positive or negative current flowing through
the device, the MOSFET turns off when the gate input becomes 0.
If the current I is negative and flowing in the internal diode
(no gate signal or g = 0), the switch turns off when the current
I becomes 0. The on state voltage V

Pigeons in Costume are hilarious images of birds in crocheted
outfits in a variety of colors and styles. Laurel Roth has
outdone herself creating these intricate and lovely ensembles
for pigeons. I'm a little confused as to why pigeons would even
need knitted outfits, but they remain adorable nonetheless.
Pigeons in Costume demonstrates the limitless possibilities of
knitting and arts and crafts. Also, the virtually unknown fact
that birds like to wear sweaters. Implications - With so many
over exaggerated styles emerging in modern society, consumers
are looking for ones that feature a more simple aesthetic.
Designs that maintain a subdued look appeal to those who want to
project a classic appearance.

The Creepy Company Compiling a File on Your Online
Activity—Using Your Real Name San Francisco-based "tracking
company" RapLeaf probably has an "extraordinarily intimate"
dossier about you—one that potentially includes your income
range, your politics, and your "interests" in topics like "adult
entertainment." And it might all be under your real name.
According to The Wall Street Journal, RapLeaf, which started as
a "trust meter" intended to allow people to rate each other's
trustworthiness—not unlike Ebay's seller ratings—is now one of
the most "sophisticated players" in the world of online tracking
companies, which compile and sell information about internet
users to advertisers. And by "sophisticated," of course, we mean
"creepy." Why? Well, we've had our eyes on RapLeaf for a while.
Where most tracking companies keep their files anonymous—that
is, they know where you go online, but not who you are,
specifically—RapLeaf knows your name. And it's using it to
cross-reference everything from voter-registra

PZ Myers needs no introduction to Minnesota Atheist listeners,
but in the interest of form, he gets one anyway. With his solo
blog, Pharyngula, and the group blog The Panda's Thumb, Myers
helped to pioneer the genre of science blogs. Through his
commentary on the Discovery Institute and other creationists
trying to shoehorn religion into science classrooms, he also
helped to pioneer atheist blogging, eventually becoming the
cofounder of the most-read atheist network, FreethoughtBlogs.
The Happy Atheist, Myers' new book, collects some of his most-
accessible writing on the topic. From the publisher's
description: Through his popular science blog,Pharyngula, PZ
Myers has entertained millions of readers with his infectious
love of evolutionary science and his equally infectious disdain
for creationism, biblical literalism, intelligent design theory,
and other products of godly illogic. In this funny and fearless
book, Myers takes on the religious fanaticism of our times with

Apache Cassandra 0.7 Documentation Maximizing Cache Benefit
Latest Cassandra documentation | Earlier Cassandra documentation
Cassandra’s built-in key and row caches can provide very
efficient data caching. Some Cassandra production deployments
have leveraged Cassandra’s caching features to the point where
dedicated caching tools such as memcached could be completely
replaced. Such deployments not only remove a redundant layer
from the stack, but they also achieve the fundamental efficiency
of strengthening caching functionality in the lower tier where
the data is already being stored. Among other advantages, this
means that caching never needs to be restarted in a completely
“cold” state. To fully optimize Cassandra’s caching hit rate,
several aspects of the system should be considered, from
hardware basics to specific caching thresholds. With proper
tuning, hit rates of 85% or better are possible with Cassandra,
and each hit on a key cache can save one disk seek per SSTable.
Row caching, when feasible,
