Mining companies across the African continent have been coping with the problem of illegal mining for years. In their battle against artisanal miners illegally entering their properties and compromising site safety, they have been unsuccessfully looking out for security solutions that are both reliable and affordable. With the turnkey solution from South-African security specialist Secu-Systems, that solution is finally in sight. Mining operators are increasingly confronted with security breaches on their properties. Illegal miners, do not always understand the potential hazards on site and often find themselves in safety-compromising situations as a result. But safety issues are not the only reason of this increased attention. It's also a matter of productivity and profit loss. "Managing illegal mining is a major challenge at mines. It is not just about the theft of valuable ore, illegal mining presents a safety hazard, especially around large opencast pits. Without the right equipment and safeguards, any mistake could be fatal, halting production but also potentially putting employed mine workers at risk," says Secu-Systems founder Charles Harrison. Security monitoring for large sites Security specialist Secu-Systems, based in Johannesburg, South Africa, was asked to come up with a solution for the security problem for two trial sites, in Tanzania. The company consequently developed a robust, mobile and highly advanced security system, based on the use of FLIR pan/tilt thermal imaging cameras. The streaming cameras can easily detect movement down to 4 pixels "The large size of these mining sites poses a serious security problem," says Charles Harrison. "Setting up fences around those areas would be a huge investment. That's why our customer had previously tried to use balloons equipped with security monitoring to watch over their entire mining site. But this approach has proven to be ineffective due to the frequent storms this particular area is facing. That's why a ground-based solution was a better option." Self-sustaining security system Instead of opting for fences, SecuSystems designed a self-sustaining system specifically for remote regions with no supportive infrastructure. The system comprises a wireless, mobile 20 ft container which securely houses all peripheral intrusion and detection equipment, including external, passive infrared detectors, high-pressure pepper systems which trigger on activation of security systems or remotely detonate upon verification, as well as a PT-602CZ thermal imaging pan/tilt camera that is able to detect motion within a 6 km radius from nominal ground level. The FLIR PT-602CZ is a thermal security camera that offers excellent long-range perimeter intrusion detection and surveillance at night as well as during the day. The solution by Secu-Systems has already proven very successful with one of the world's largest gold producers – at a mine in Tanzania. Once the Secu-Sytems solution was installed and operational, the results were immediate – revealing the numbers of illegal miners entering the site on a daily basis. The weekly number of arrests even reached a staggering 75 – 100. Charles Harrison: "The intruder capture rate improved and the risk for security personnel is now lower. In addition, because all footage is recorded, the client can ensure that the entire incident – from capture to hand-over of the intruder – is handled strictly according to security policy." FLIR PT-602CZ has allowed to build a solution that is able to replace twenty to forty perimeter security cameras The streaming cameras can easily detect movement down to 4 pixels. The military specified container solutions are completely fitted with their own power reticulation which includes solar panels mounted to the roof of the container to battery banks installed within the container. The system allows wireless communication back to a centralised control room. Existing installations have a 36 km wireless link that allows complete surveillance and control. 360° situational awareness The system developed by Secu-Systems provides mining sites with complete 360-degrees situational awareness and is a radically new approach compared to the typical practice of perimeter fence security installations. "Conventional perimeter security systems will generate an alert when the perimeter is breached, but once within the perimeter, intruders can get lost," says Charles Harrison. "The Secu-Systems solution offers complete situational awareness and peace of mind and allows critical management decisions to be effected." "The FLIR PT-602CZ has allowed us to build a solution that is able to replace twenty to forty perimeter security cameras," says Charles Harrison. "This makes it an ideal, affordable solution for mining operators that need to monitor huge areas remotely." "There's no other thermal camera that compares to the FLIR PT-602CZ," says Harrison. "The camera has given us excellent image quality and detection results, even in the harsh and uneven geography that we are faced with. The comments from our first end users have been mind-blowing."
Hang Nadim International Airport (Indonesia) has demonstrated considerable growth ambitions in recent years, as the airport is becoming a major hub for both domestic and international connections. But the airport's growth also coincides with increased safety requirements, and a continuous effort to prevent accidents, fatalities, injuries or significant damage. To be ready for future growth and to offer its passengers more security, Hang Nadim International Airport recently invested in advanced thermal video security technology from FLIR Systems. Hang Nadim International Airport is located in Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia. Batam, an Indonesian island located close to Singapore, has quietly emerged as a domestic hub with a large volume of transit passengers. Mostly serving domestic flights, all the major domestic carriers operate out of Batam with services to Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan and Padang. Originally developed as an alternative airport for Singapore Changi Airport, Hang Nadim Airport has facilities and the longest runway (4,000m) in Indonesia, sufficient for wide body aircraft Boeing 747s and several times more passengers than it is currently serving. Securing the airport perimeter Security is a serious issue for airport authorities. The threat of terrorist attacks at airports is never far away. And although passenger screening inside airports has received its due attention worldwide, the airport perimeter often remains a weak spot at many airports, giving intruders much too easy access to airplane runways and taxiways. This has not escaped the attention of Hang Nadim International Airport officials. Until recently, the airport's 16 kilometre perimeter was only secured by a fence, in combination with CCTV cameras and frequent patrols of security personnel. This approach was insufficiently covering the airport's security issue, in at least two ways. First of all, it's very difficult for security patrols to be everywhere all the time, certainly with the size of the perimeter in mind, so 100% coverage is not possible this way. Second, CCTV cameras cannot see during the night without lighting, which would be very costly to install along a 16km perimeter. Once inside the perimeter area, it would be almost impossible to install lighting poles across the airfield to support CCTV cameras, because they could possibly obstruct the movements of the aircraft on the runways and taxiways. Thermal security cameras The FLIR PT-602CZ delivers thermal imaging to support long-range perimeter intrusion detection After thorough research, the airport authorities decided to use thermal imaging cameras from FLIR Systems to monitor the entire perimeter. FLIR thermal security cameras can see as well at night as they can during the day. And unlike conventional CCTV cameras, they are not dependent on visible light or supplementary illumination from lights or lasers. 27 FLIR FC-Series cameras with 19mm and 35mm lens are now used to monitor the perimeter. In addition, Batam airport installed two FLIR PT-602CZ long-range multi-sensor thermal & visible pan/tilt cameras and two FLIR Ranger® R2 high-resolution radar units to have a complete overview of the airport's aprons, taxiways, and four-kilometre long runway. The PTZ camera and radar complement each other really well and make it virtually impossible for anyone to enter the airfield unnoticed. The Ranger R2 radar accurately detects people and vehicles up to a 1,400 metre range. And, it operates in virtually any climate, weather or lighting condition to provide 24/7 security, scanning 360° every second. Whenever a target is picked up by the radar, an alarm is sent to the FLIR Sensor Manager video management system. This will in turn activate the automatic slew-to-cue mechanism of the FLIR PT-602CZ pan/ tilt camera. This means that the pan-tilt camera is automatically steered to the exact latitude, longitude and elevation of an alarm, provided by the radar, so that the security personnel in the airport control room can instantly see what's going on in the visible and thermal camera image. In addition, all thermal video footage is recorded in real time by the FLIR DNR500 network video recorder. Complete overview of the site According to the airport's Chief of Aviation Technics, the FLIR security monitoring system is performing extremely well 24/7 and the authorities have already been able to detect intruders shortly after the installation of the thermal cameras. The fact that the airport does not need to install any lighting to secure the entire area and perimeter has proven to be a great cost-saver. In addition to this, the detection range of the radar and pan/ tilt systems are so wide that only two units are needed to cover the entire area. The airport officials also value the video analytics on the FLIR FC-Series cameras as they provide optimal intrusion detection in challenging imaging environments. This allows the airport control room staff to take immediate measures whenever that is needed.
TV cameras don't work at night, and night is when users need cameras the most. Police officials in Newport Beach, California found this out and came to FLIR for the solution. One of the most exclusive communities in the country, Newport Beach is home to movie stars, industrialists and entrepreneurs. Befitting its exclusivity, the beach closes to the public each night. Once the sun goes down, however, groups of young people flock to the beach, creating disturbances and disrupting the citizens' lives in Newport Beach. To counter this nighttime mischief and keep the residents safe, Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) officers patrolled the beach every Thursday through Sunday evening. This cost the Department thousands of dollars a month and kept officers from patrolling other areas of town. The assessment In early 2007, the NBPD started looking into a technological solution to this problem: video beach surveillance. After initial discussions with Jay Gill of Bassett Sales, a local security camera representative, NBPD IT manager Tom Encheff realised that neither daylight nor infrared illuminated cameras would be up to the job. Illuminating the beach was not a viable option, as the lighting infrastructure alone would cost millions of dollars. Not to mention the resulting glare, this would be offensive to residents and visitors alike. Gill saw the solution right away, telling Encheff, "You need to go thermal." Thermal security cameras – the right solution Thermal security cameras make pictures from heat, not light, detecting the tiny differences in heat energy that are around us all the time. Day and night, in good weather and bad, everything emits thermal energy. What's more, the hotter something is the more thermal energy it gives off. FLIR's thermal security cameras take this energy in and make pictures that look like black and white TV video. Thermal energy is part of a continuum of energy called the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The EM spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only part of the EM spectrum that we can see is the small band of energy called "visible light." Visible light reflects off objects, our eyes sense it, our brains interpret it, and we experience that as sight. Household cameras and camcorders work the same way: they detect reflected visible light and their electronics create pictures. Thermal security cameras, on the other hand, sense and create images from emitted heat energy. FLIR thermal security allows policeofficers to see beach gatherings, evenin the dark of night Because most things generate heat, thermal cameras can see as well at night as during the day. Visible light detectors (like our eyes) don't work well at night without the help of lights. FLIR's thermal security cameras don't have this shortcoming. Financially viable solution NBPD officers were familiar with thermal imaging; their helicopters fly with FLIRs every night. They were not aware, however, that thermal security cameras make a financially viable solution for beach surveillance. Once NBPD officers experienced how FLIR cameras let them see at night, they were sold on the concept and the solution. In June 2007 FLIR partners Bassett Sales and Thompson Engineering installed seven thermal security cameras in Newport Beach. The NBPD chose five SR-19 fixed cameras, one fixed SR-100 and one PTZ-50 MS. This mix of cameras let NBPD keep an eye on large areas of beachfront around the clock. What's more, the SR-100 long-range camera lets them cover areas they thought would go unobserved. Once they saw the camera's range performance and image quality, they decided to include its capabilities in their surveillance program. The combination of cameras let the NBPD design a security net with overlapping imaging zones. The PTZ-50MS in particular gives watch standers flexibility in responding to alarms, using a pan/tilt/zoom camera to back-up their fixed cameras. The video from all seven cameras is transmitted to the Department's command and dispatch centres. There, motion detection software monitors the incoming video and alerts watch standers to activity on the beaches. When someone trips an alarm, commanders can evaluate the intrusion and decide if they need a patrol officer to respond. This allows NBPD to keep its officers on citywide patrol, saving money and using resources more efficiently. The result Installing FLIR thermal security cameras allows the NBPD to cover the beach thoroughly at night, responding more effectively than ever before. Officers previously assigned to beach patrol are now free to cover inland sectors, saving the city money while providing better police services to the public. The Newport Beach Police Department has seen for themselves that FLIR's thermal security cameras work better at night than any other imaging technology just when they are needed the most.

nosuvyet Posts: 72I just posted this message on another thread, so it's ironic that this message board just appeared. Perhaps this will be a good way to start.
There are so many misconceptions about gas mileage generally that I would like to attempt to clear them up. The single biggest determinant of mileage is weight. It's simple physics. It takes "x" units of energy to move "x" pounds from point A to point B. Since the energy in a gallon of gas doesn't change and the length of a mile doesn't change, the weight is the major determining factor. That's why a V-8 in the same car vs. a V-6 has worse mileage. Not because a V-8 has 8 cylinders running vs. 6 (it will run at lower RPM's than a 6 to offset the difference) but because the V-8 is physically heavier than the 6 in the same car, therefore it takes more energy (hence worse mileage) to move that heavier engine. It's the same reason why AWD or 4WD is worse than FWD. Not because four wheels are turning - that makes no difference. The difference is that in the same vehicle, AWD is simply heavier than FWD because of the extra transfer case at the rear axle. With all else being equal, a 2000 pound vehicle will have exactly double the gas mileage of a 4000 pound vehicle. It's really just as simple as that. I've never gone through the exercise, but to compare apples to apples, compare the EPA listed mileage between vehicles (despite the fact it doesn't represent real world, it's a consistent benchmark for this purpose) to the weight of those vehicles and you will find a pretty consistent ratio. Having said that, there certainly will be variations due to driving habits (heavy foot means more revs per mile), driving speed (high highway speed means more revs to overcome exponentially higher drag at significantly increased speeds), vehicle shape (the higher the coefficient of drag, the more revs required per mile), efficiency of engine (the more efficient in converting the unit of energy in gas into revs, the better the mileage), driver weight (230 pound man vs. 120 pond woman), a/c usage (higher revs to run that compressor), tire pressure (lower pressure means more tire contact with the road, hence more friction to overcome) as well as a few other things I'm sure I've missed. But the point is that these are all minor variationscompared to simply the weight of the vehicle (and contents). The biggest improvements in mileage that Detroit has made in gasoline engines over time is simply by using more aluminum and plastic vs. steel, hence making cars lighter.
Hope that helps.0
ragtop262 Posts: 58My 2003 AWD has averaged 21.5 MPG over its 65,000 miles. My driving is about 75% highway/25% city. This is an accurate number - I use the car for business, so I have to keep track of every mile and every gallon of gas on a spreadsheet.0
verdi942 Posts: 304I've got the [small] 3.4 motor with manual A/C. There are 14,000 trouble-free miles on the car. I just spent two weeks at the Jersey Shore. Going down on a 94 degree day with 4 people aboard and every inch of space filled with beach stuff, with the A/C on #4 fan setting, averaging 55 MPH in the heavy, but moving traffic, I MEASURED [DIC showed 24 MPG], at fillup, 26 MPG. The Garden State Parkway is quite flat and seems to run slightly downhill southbound. Knocking around the shore in similar weather gave 20 MPG ACTUAL. Coming home on a cool night gave 29 MPG ACTUAL. This car, kind of heavy for the size of the engine, needs a featherlight foot to avoid sub-20MPG. It'll keep up with most traffic and can hold any sane speed, but if you push things, it'll use a lot of gas doing it. Soooo, as the old Mobilgas Economy Run drivers used to say, imagine there's a fresh egg under your right foot and try not to crush it. And my current tankful of $3.29 regular inspired me to try putting the cruise control on 55, instead of 60. Saving gas means LOTS of anticipation of the road conditions ahead of you so you can do LOTS of coasting, coasting, coasting. Is that a red light or a bunch of stalled traffic in front of you a couple of blocks ahead? There's no need to speed up to reach it - just roll on [NOT at 5 MPH, though], and, chances are, you won't need much braking, either. You've just saved a few bits of gas AND it's easy on the machinery, too. Stuck on a creepy-crawly expressway? Try and let the idling engine pull you steadily at, say, 5 -10 MPH, leaving a couple of car lengths of space in front of you [you may have to close it up a bit if too many cowboys jump in front of you]. Another trick is to see just how LITTLE pressure on the gas is needed to maintain your desired speed. These Buicks make it easy with their smooth, progressive gas pedal action. Also, avoid as much as possible, any sudden changes of speed. Here's a little game to keep you alert at those boring low speeds - put the DIC on "Fuel used" and see how far you go on .1 of a gallon. Did you go 2 miles on that tenth? That's 20 MPG. 3 miles? That's 30 MPG. I once clocked 4.6 miles [that's 46MPG!]. Hey, these RDV's are compact, responsive, easy-to-maneuver SUV's, but they're NOT sports cars. They shouldn't burn a lot of gas.0
huskydawg Posts: 152002 RDV CXL. 23,500 miles so far. Getting 17.5 MPG overall. 65% Highway/35% city. Getting about 24MPG when 95% Highway, and about 16MPG when mostly city drivings. I drive the RDV for leisure/weekend only. I walk to work. I was lucky enough to find a job that is only 3 minute walking distance from my house.0
alvord Posts: 1I just bought a 2002 buick RDV AWD. I'm sweating because I seem to be hearing that it will have electrical problems. What will be my most likely mecanical issues?0
veloce67 Posts: 2I have owned my 02 RDV AWD since new (09/01)and it is comfortable, yet somewhat enimic in power. I bought the extended GM service and it has paid for itself. Some issues have been electrical, but I have more questions about the level of service integrity of the dealer than the vehicle. I am on my third battery, and was told that the batteries from GM have a fault in the terminals, as they crack and leak. I have had intermittant problems since the first battery was replaced. I parked the car, and it wouldn't restart...no power at all..(alot of good OnStar was...no power to call for help!). The terminology used was the terminal was corroded, but it was actually broken and leaking. The battery was pro-rated, so I didn't pay the full price. At the time I thought the problem was just that simple. In several months, I started having electrical brown-outs, i.e. lights dimming while driving, or dimming when a load was applied to the electrical system, like the AC, or brake light switch. The radio "lost" some of it's recieving capabilities, stations local and regional aquired static (AM/FM). The dealer "fix" was resoldering the antenna connection to the glass windshield, but that didn't solve it, (They managed to scratch up the lens on the climate control screen in the process). When I took it back, they replaced the radio at no charge. The radio worked, but sometimes lost the memory settings,(You'd think this would be a clue to all that I'd said and had it in for). In four months, the 'no-start' issue happened again. They tell me the battery cable had come loose. Last month, I had 'no-start' problems again, but it would come-and-go. I found the battery loose in it's hold down, and the positive terminal wobbled. The dealer said there was no problem with the battery, just loose, retightened, but their diagnostics said that the ignition anti-theft module was bad. $200 warranty deductable cost to me. The next day, the 'no-start' condition was there, and the battery was loose. They replaced the battery and battery tray at no charge...but I suspect the ignition module is either not bad, or the current problems I've been having may have contributed to the problem, and am looking to have it tested,(any help here?). The last battery was 16 months old and had the same problem as the first two! Like most busy people, I have to loose time to chase the problem instead of having it fixed right the first time! :sick:0
I have calculated 26.7 miles a gallon for my 3.5 litre V6 Rendezvous engine a couple times. Average around town and highway driving I get about 20.5 miles a gallon. I have a FWD w/ traction control Rendezvous, WITHOUT the AWD weight many other Rendezvous suffer from.
I think under the circumstances I've been very pleased by the mileage considering it is a hair over 4000lbs.0
huckabyl Posts: 2I have a 2004 Rendezvous, with no problems till I changed the air filter. Fuel Mileage went from 26 to 15 mpg. Put in a second filter in hopes of maybe a bad one with no improvement. Any ideas would be appreciated.0
I think it might be something that happend as a coincidence with air filter replacement and poor mileage. It,(the air filter) should have improved mileage, not hurt it like you claim it has.
I'd get the Rendezvous down to the local Buick dealer and have them run a scan test diagnostic tool on it to check for any problems.0
kenym Posts: 405I live in North East Ohio and I believe they start using winter fuel additives around the end of October. My wife's 06 Corolla S was averaging 30+ since she bought it in May.
However since the end of October her mileage has dropped to about 27 or 28 mpg. Nothing in her driving habits has changed. We still fill up at the same place. Still use 87 Octane and the car seems to run and idle the same. Just the difference in the mpg. I was told the reason for the winter fuel additives is to prevent fuel line freeze up. The gas itself wont freeze but the condensation in the lines could freeze and cause the car to stop running. I believe they remove the additives around the end of March or early April0
gman1957 Posts: 48This vehicle is like having gas station near by @ all times.You never know hom much more you need to go before filling up again.It burns so much gas. I cried everytime I have to goto fillit up,cause I know in a few days I'll be back @ the station.I wish the car will just burn up and collect on the insurance and get a new vehicle.0
motobaz Posts: 12003 CX V6, 72K on the clock. We were averaging 27.3 mpg on Interstate 5 from Sacramento heading south, full load, kids dogs and luggage, AC on all the time. I set the cruise at 65. Got home to San Luis Obispo and did some town driving and still averaged out at 25 mpg for the tank. We have the Driver Info Feature which tells you your average mpg on the dash display, a nice feature. That's pretty decent for an SUV. Makes me wonder when I see some of these ads for some of the latest cars and they're bragging about getting 28 mpg.0
Code Posts: 1What is meant by FWD w/traction control?0
nukem40 Posts: 1about this time last year ..took rend. into service for battery lite came on ...dealer downloaded patch for computer to fix....then the poor mileage started...from 25-30 hwy to 19 to 21 hwy and 18 to 21 city to 14 to 17 city. dealer replaced fuel pump ....injec cleaned and replaced....drove car with chip to record mil. and agreed .....only thing they can say is is with in paramiters.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...changed filter...plugs...please someone help....???? 2006 fwd 3.5 lit..basic
spike99 Posts: 239If wondering...
FWD = Front Wheel Drive (only its front wheels can spin)
AWD = All Wheel Drive (all 4 wheels can spin).
TCS (sometimes called TC) = Traction Control or Traction Control System means that if its special "wheel sensors" computer senses 1 wheel is spinning `too much`, it automatically applies brakes to that specific "spinning" wheel. Thus, forcing its opposite drive wheel to spin - instead of allowing its single spinning wheel to continue to spin. TCS exists on either FWD (Front Wheel Drive) or RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) vehicles. When TCS exists on all 4 wheels, its called Stability Track system. And yes, TCS on the front wheels and Stability Track across entire vehicle exists on the newer technology vehicles - like my wife's new 2009 mini-van.
If wondering, my wife has an older technology 2003 FWD RDV (her "in town" run-about vehicle) that only has TSC on its Front Wheels. When one front wheel spins too much, that single wheel speed is forced to slowed down, thus forcing the other wheel to take more traction. From a white board perspective, vision TCS as Traction Balance System - because it balances 'drive power' delivery to the other wheel(s) - that have better traction then its single spinning wheel.
Being a lighter weight 2003 FWD RDV (compared to more steel parts in its heavier weight AWD version), my wife's vehicle also gets good MPGs. Not as good as some better wind dynamic 3.4L vehicles (like a mini-van with 3.4L engine) but it gets much better MPGs then an AWD RDV (with 3.4L engine).
For good understanding of TCS, surf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZzdyH8ethY

Who wouldn't want a tropical beach wedding? The warmth of the sun on your bare shoulders, the gentle sound of waves lapping at the shoreline nearby, guitarists serenading you as you walk towards an archway festooned with hibiscus flowers, your gorgeous white dress standing out magnificently against the turquoise lagoon… If you're not already convinced, here are five great reasons why you're much better off booking a tropical beach wedding package in Rarotonga than thinking about any of the venues closer to home.
1. It's close to home if you are from New Zealand. From Auckland to the Cook Islands it is an easy 4 hour flight.
2. With stunning lagoon surroundings (including Titikaveka and Muri) – Rarotonga is known for its gorgeous beaches, warm temperatures (averaging between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius), lush foliage, crystal clear lagoons and sunsets that take your breath away. It's guaranteed to start your married life off in the most romantic way possible. Note the weather is generally the best from May to October.
3. Stress free – When you decide on a tropical beach wedding package in Rarotonga, you decide on a stress free path to your most special day. Resorts usually have their own dedicated wedding co-ordinators and there are several other experienced freelance wedding planners working on the island. They know how to pull off your big day with ease and you can leave it to them to make sure that you have the most relaxing wedding day you could ever dream of.
4. Quality time with friends and family – Marrying among friends and family on a tropical beach in the South Pacific isn't like the normal wedding experience where you don't really have time to mix with your friends and family before rushing off for your honeymoon. Your tropical beach wedding package can include a small number of your closest friends and family, or more if you prefer. Because they'll be travelling to the island and probably taking some holiday time there as well, you'll be able to enjoy their company after the wedding in the relaxed environment that Rarotonga provides. You'll each have your own private spaces, as well as the opportunity to get together whenever you feel like it. It's a great way to introduce new family members to each other in a low stress environment and you'll be able to share hours of long happy memories with those closest to you for the lifetime ahead.
5. It's a photographer's dream – You will cherish your amazing wedding photos featuring an idyllic beach setting where you are surrounded by glorious colours, perfect light and tropical treasures. Given that Rarotonga is only 32km in circumference, your photographer can drive you to many spectacular locations without worrying about the time.
6. Surprisingly affordable – When you think about the amount of money most people spend on a wedding at home followed by an overseas honeymoon, it's well worth comparing the cost of a tropical beach wedding package in Rarotonga. You will probably invite fewer guests to a tropical beach wedding, which will reduce costs for a start. You won't have to travel to your honeymoon destination – because you will already be there. A package deal means the flights; accommodation, meals and other options can be booked together to achieve substantial discounts. Many people who've done the numbers have opted for what they thought was an impossible dream – a wedding in paradise!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Owner Abused Women in Popular Cake Shop, Federal Agency Charges
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Early Bird Management Group, LLC, doing business as ABC Cake Shop & Bakery in Albuquerque, violated federal law by subjecting a group of women to sexual harassment and forcing some women who could not tolerate the harassment to resign, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed on September 7, 2011.
In its suit, the EEOC said that one of the owners of ABC Cake subjected Olivia Gatwood, Haven Avila, Maureen Roskom and a class of women to sexual harassment. The women, including some teenage hires, were subjected to pervasive sexual comments and innuendo and unwelcome touching or attempted touching of their bodies, which created a hostile work environment for them. The EEOC also alleged that some women who could not tolerate the sexual harassment were forced to quit their jobs.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (EEOC v. Early Bird Management Group, LLC, Civil Action No. 1: 11-cv-00799) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process.
"We continue to see a significant number of class sexual harassment cases throughout our district, including claims involving smaller employers like ABC Cake," said Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah. "We are particularly concerned when owners or officers at the highest levels of companies are involved in harassing vulnerable teenagers. The EEOC will prosecute such cases vigorously."
The lawsuit asks the court to order ABC Cake to provide all the affected women with appropriate relief, including back wages for those forced to resign; compensatory and punitive damages; and a permanent injunction enjoining the company from engaging in any further gender-discriminatory practice. The EEOC also asks the court to order the company to institute and carry out policies and practices that eradicate and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
EEOC Deputy District Director Elizabeth Cadle said, "Our investigation revealed that the owner of this small business engaged in sexual harassment that happened so frequently that some women just could not take it anymore and had to quit rather than continue working for someone who not only failed to protect them but actually preyed upon them. Employers of all sizes have an important responsibility to maintain a workplace that is free of sexual harassment."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Awards & Grants
The Association for Social Economics strives to reward and encourage scholarship in social economics. With this aim we have established several grants, awards and best paper prizes.
The most prestigious award presented by ASE is the Thomas F. Divine award. Named for one of the founding fathers of the Association for Social Economics, the Thomas F. Divine Award is presented annually to an Association member who over a lifetime has made important contributions to social economics and the social economy. The recipient is selected by the Executive Council of ASE.
Several awards are presented to young scholars and professors new to social economics research. The Helen Potter Award is presented to the best paper published in the Review of Social Economy by a promising scholar in social economics. The recipient is selected by the editors of the Review. Similarly, the Elba Brown-Collier Student Paper Award is presented to the best paper presented at the World Congress for Social Economics by a promising scholar. The recipient is selected by the World Congress Program Committee.
To further support research by promising scholars in the study of social economics, ASE established the William R. Waters Grant. This grant is for amount up to $5,000. Recipients are expected to apply for these grants. The recipients are selected by a committee chaired by the Vice-President for ASE. Application deadlines are always November 1 of the year before the grant is provided.
Awards for scholarly publications and/or presentations which are not restricted to promising scholars are the Warren Samuels Prize and the Springer Best Paper Award.

There is an old joke about a guy in a monastery explaining that a reliquary contains the skull of John the Baptist as a boy. And it is true that a remarkable number of John the Baptist relics, including multiple skulls, are dispersed over a wide area of Europe and Asia. But who knows? Some of them might actually be genuine.
Two years ago, a sarcophagus was discovered under the site of an ancient Bulgarian monastery on a tiny island in the Black Sea, called Sveti Ivan (St. John):
An inscription on a box found next to the reliquary, which contained a knuckle, part of a leg bone, a fragment of skull and a tooth, suggested that they had formerly belonged to John the Baptist. A team from Oxford University set out to test the relics to determine whether that hypothesis could possibly be true.
There is some evidence–fragmentary, to say the least–that relics of John the Baptist may have been moved from Jerusalem to Constantinople in the fourth century. Some of them could have made their way from Constantinople to a monastery in the Black Sea. Nevertheless, the Oxford researchers expected to debunk the alleged provenance of the Bulgarian bones.
It turned out that for some technical reason, most of the bones could not be tested. The knuckle, however, could be. And, much to the surprise of the scientists, their tests showed that it came from a person who lived during the early first century–in all likelihood a person of Middle Eastern origin, and probably a man.
Professor Higham said: "We were surprised when the radiocarbon dating produced this very early age. We had suspected that the bones may have been more recent than this, perhaps from the third or fourth centuries.
"However, the result from the metacarpal hand bone is clearly consistent with someone who lived in the early first century AD. Whether that person is John the Baptist is a question that we cannot yet definitely answer and probably never will."
Of course not. Still, the fact that someone went to the trouble to preserve a set of bones from the early first century in this manner is suggestive, to say the least.
Around seventeen years ago, my wife and I spent ten days in Israel, courtesy of a client for whom I was fortunate enough to win a substantial case, and who became a good friend. I have been interested in archaeology ever since. One of these days, if I can afford to retire, I would like to pursue it in a more systematic fashion.

PCP: Forgotten -- But Not Gone
What is PCP?
PCP (PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII) is a tiny parasite that infects most people during childhood. Normally, this parasite is dormant, doing no damage. When a weakened immune system cannot control the reproduction of the parasite, the result may be an infection (pneumonia).
Fever, cough (dry or productive) and difficulty breathing are symptoms associated with PCP. A patient may have the feeling that they just can't "shake a cold." A doctor may treat it like bronchitis or sinusitis, which it can resemble (and can occur along with PCP in PWAs). Failure to respond to routine antibiotic therapy for sinusitis after one week is a clue pointing to PCP.
PCP pneumonia is still with us and it's still deadly. And it's almost 100% preventable, if prophylaxis (prevention) is initiated if your CD4 counts drop below 200. The drugs used for prevention of PCP are TMP-SMX (Bactrim or Septra), dapsone, and aerosolized pentamidine. Use of prophylaxis tends to lessen the severity of the disease in people who develop PCP despite preventative therapy. ( Note: If your T-cells have fallen below 200 and then go back up as a result of taking medications, ask your doctor about continuing prophylaxis. )
Despite the understanding and availability of medicines for prophylaxis, PCP pneumonia remains the most common opportunistic infection and one of the leading causes of death in people with AIDS.
If Bactrim or Septra (TMP-SMX) does not control the infection, or if someone cannot tolerate the medicine because of side effects or allergy, other drugs are available for the treatment of PCP. These include atovaquone (Mepron), IV pentamidine (Pentam), IV trimetrexate, dapsone-trimethoprim (investigational), and clindimycin-primiquine (investigational).
The Newest Drug
The newest drug for the treatment of mild to moderate PCP is GlaxoWellcome's Mepron Suspension, a product of ongoing research. Although Bactrim is the most effective treatment for PCP, many patients cannot tolerate it and need alternative therapy.
Studies have shown equal percentages of patients who take Mepron and those taking Bactrim experience side effects at least once during treatment. Yet, fewer patients who were taking Mepron had to stop treatment because of side effects.
If All Else Fails
NeuTrexin is indicated as an alternative therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe PCP in people who are intolerant of, or not responding to, Bactrim or other medications. In an ACTG study comparing NeuTrexin to Bactrim, a greater percentage of patients stopped taking NeuTrexin due to drug failure yet, only 10% of the patients reported side effects that limited therapy, compared to 29% treated with Bactrim.
US Bioscience, providers of NeuTrexin, are in the process of preparing the drug for broad distribution. NeuTrexin is expected to be commercially available the first week in January. Until then, NeuTrexin will continue to be available under Treatment IND by calling Social and Scientific Systems at 1.800.537.9978.

Proposed Canon
In Erfworld, Dance-Fighting is a SpecialLIAB Prologue 26 used in combat to add a multiplier bonus to a Unit or a Stack.Erf-b1-p125 Often, the Units dance-fighting will adopt a style of dress, but this is not necessary to receive the bonus.
Known Dance-Fighters
- Transylvito - The vampire gangs of Transylvito are led by Caesar Borgata during their dance-fight. Their particular dance style is done to a spoof of the lyrics of Jet Song West Side Story.Erf-b1-p111
- Knights In Stanley's Service - The Knights in Stanley's Service, populated by elite Hobgobwins, are led by Lord Stanley The Tool himself. They adopt black leather 'armor' and warpaint, wield axes, and generally have a Heavy Metal Appearance, and specifically in the form of the band KISS, which is also the acronym for the same knights. .Erf-b1-p076 Technically, with the Arkenhammer, Stanley's knights rock, which he claims is more powerful than dance-fighting.
- Wanda Firebaugh at the Courtyard Breach - This dance-fight was planned by 'Lord Hamster' after learning that the Royal Crown Coalition had few troops that could dance-fightErf-b1-p128), while Gobwin Knob had a Master-Class Croakamancer that could lead uncroaked in dance-fighting (as well as providing a significant Leadership bonus), despite that uncroaked normally could not dance-fight. Wanda led an army of several thousand Uncroaked in a dance against Ansom's attacking forces, which resembled Michel Jackson's Thriller .Erf-b1-p127 Erf-b1-p129 Wanda was then instructed to choreograph a Safety Dance, a dance that presumably increases the defensive capabilities of the participating units. Erf-b1-p133
- Ansom's forces at the Courtyard Breach - Though not dance-fightersErf-b1-p127, a Spell from Charlescomm's Archons allowed Ansom's forces to Dance-fightErf-b1-p128. He started choreography with an iconic disco pose.
- Jillian - When Jillian leaves Ansom on her mission to intercept Stanley, she explains her choice of Raiment by saying that she thinks there may be dance-fighting.
- Prince Sammy of Haggar believes that "There's only one way to Rock". Every member of his force can, at least, headbang. This is possibly the lowest level of either dance-fighting or rocking out, or perhaps an analog. (from LIAB Text 7)
The exact mechanics of dance-fighting have yet to be explained in the comic. Most often, Dance-fighting occurs before combat rather than during, and very frequently includes chanting or singing. The units that are to receive the dance-fight bonus usually dance in formation with one another, instead of using Real World modern free-style dances. One performer typically leads the dance, which others can use to keep in sync and rhythm (which may improve the bonus, but may not even be necessary). Once combat is engaged, the combatants cease dancing, but unengaged Units continue, suggesting that the dance needs to continue right up to the moment of combat, or that dancers can maintain the bonus on combatants.
It is unknown if striking in rhythm of the song provides some kind of bonus. It is possible that a free-flowing kind of dance could make dodging easier or confuse an opponent and cause them to make in error in the fight (similarly to "drunken" boxing).
Real World References
TVTropes lists various other works of art that have dance fighting, and states that various real world dancing styles originate from fighting techniques.
The Transylvito dance-fight style is an obvious homage to The Jets from West Side Story. Their battle-cry is even a parody of the lyrics from the Jets Song.
Jillian dresses like Sandy from the musical Grease and when talking to AnsomErf-b1-p093 quotes "You're the one that I want" (a song sung by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in the film version). Vinny is seen wearing a letterman jacket and black clothing similar to the one worn by Travolta's character in the final dance number of that movie, the same one in which Newton-John wears the all-black outfit on Which Jillian's costume seems to be based. The original plan for Transylvito and Charlescomm to ambush and kill Stanley, as described by Vinny to Don KingErf-b1-p099, likewise shows the dance-fighting styled after Grease (rather than the Transylvito-only West Side Story dance that actually takes placeErf-b1-p111).
Lord Stanley's dance-fight style is inspired by the American Rock Band, Kiss. The 'Knights In Stanley's Service' (K.I.S.S.) are based on a) the Kiss Army, Kiss's massive fan-club, and b) an accusation that the band name KISS once stood for 'Knights in Satan's Service'. Stanley wears the face-paint of Kiss band-member Paul 'The Starchild' Stanley, as their names draw an obvious parallel. Stanley also quotes two Kiss songs as rallying cries against the Transylvito forcesErf-b1-p123: "Stand up! You don't have to be afraid!" with his Knights answering "I love it... Loud!" from the 1982 I Love It Loud; and "Your lightning's all I need" from the 1977 Shock Me. The quotations seem directed to the Arkenhammer itself, referring to its powers of thunder, lightning, and electric guitar.
Wanda's dance-fight at the Garrison WallsErf-b1-p140 is an obvious reference to Michael Jackson and his music video Thriller. The 'Safety Dance' is a reference to a song of the same name by band Men Without Hats.
The Archons' Spell allows Ansom's troops to dance-fight by playing Dance Dance Revolution.

Green Knights Fall Flat at Monmouth
From Sports Information Director, September 29, 2012 | Football
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
MONMOUTH, Ill. - Not much went right for St. Norbert College in its 700th all-time football game, which finished in a 31-9 loss to Monmouth College in what was also the Green Knights' 200th Midwest Conference game.
The Green Knights fell behind 24-0 at halftime at Zorn Memorial Stadium, and had four turnovers to Monmouth's one. The Fighting Scots also had the ball for 34 minutes 58 seconds thanks to controlling the ball with 258 rushing yards.
The first quarter finished scoreless, with the Green Knights having an average starting field position of their own 11-yard line. Monmouth intercepted a James Tringali pass and returned it to the St. Norbert 8, which set up a Scots touchdown on the first play of the second quarter when Brik Wedekind hit Garrett Youngren on a 4-yard touchdown pass.
St. Norbert took over moments later when Austin Arts intercepted a Wedekind pass and returned it to the Monmouth 31. The Green Knights moved to a fourth-and-1 situation at the Monmouth 10, and opted to go for it. Austin Williams' run to the left side was stopped for a three-yard loss.
Monmouth then marched 87 yards in 13 plays to take a 14-0 lead when Wedekind finished off the drive with an 18-yard touchdown scramble with 3:18 left to go before halftime. Two plays later, Tringali was intercepted and the Scots needed four plays to score, with Trey Yocum scoring from 15 yards out with 1:06 left in the half.
St. Norbert fumbled the ensuring kickoff and Ace Henricks' 29-yard field goal as time expired in the half gave the host a 24-0 lead.
The Green Knights cut the deficit to 24-7 when Tringali hit Brian Fliess on a 43-yard touchdown pass with 7:01 left in the third quarter, but Monmouth answered on its next series with a 44-yard run by Yocum to make it 31-7.
Tobias Cole's sack of Wedekind early in the fourth quarter gave the Green Knights their final two points of the game.
Tringali completed 13 of 32 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown and three interceptions. Austin Williams was the leading ground gainer with 28 yards on 17 carries. St. Norbert had 236 yards of total offense.
Yocum rushed 26 times for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Wedekind completed 10 of 17 passes for 90 yards and one touchdown and one interception. Monmouth had 348 yards of total offense.

Eagles Nest Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Eagles Nest Wilderness (map) in 1976 and it now has a total of 135,114 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionHeavy snow accumulates on the heights of Eagles Nest Wilderness in the Gore Range, providing a major contribution to the waters of the Colorado River. Melting snow in spring plunges from the heights to create marshy meadows and sloughs, as well as turbulent thundering creeks when temperatures soar abruptly. This is an area more vertical than horizontal, with sheer rock faces, keen-edged ridges, deep valleys, jagged peaks, and dense forests lower down, and foot travel can be strenuous. Approximately 180 miles of trail provide access to Eagles Nest, most of them dead-ending at a radiant gem of an alpine lake. Two trails, at the northern and southern extremes, cross entirely from one side of the Wilderness to the other side: Upper Cataract Lake to Piney Lake across the north, a distance of 15 miles; and Gore Creek to Red Buffalo Pass to Uneva Pass across the south, a distance of about 19 miles. Off-trail hiking can be difficult, but several informal routes climb the steep passes of the area's craggy core.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture requests farmers and ranchers to keep detailed records of any losses due to natural disasters.
Losses include livestock and feed losses, crop losses, and any additional expenses that resulted from a natural disaster such as drought or flood.
Good records can help farmers and ranchers recover losses from natural disasters though the USDA's Farm Service Agency and the 2014 Farm Bill.
Records should include:
- The documentation of the number and type of livestock to have died, supplemented if possible by photos or video records of ownership and losses.
- Dates of death supported by birth recordings or purchase receipts.
- The cost of transporting livestock to new or safer pastures.
- Feed purchases if supplies or grazing pastures are destroyed.
- Crop records and fertilizer and seed purchases with planting and production records.
- Pictures of on-farm storage facilities that have been destroyed.
- Evidence of damaged farm land.

9to5mac posted yesterday, that Apple is in fact testing 4″ iPhones right now:
Right now we know of a few next-generation iPhone candidates in testing. These prototype phones are floating around Apple HQ in thick, locked shells in order to disguise the exterior design to "undisclosed" employees. We know of two next-generation iPhones in testing with a larger display: the iPhone 5,1 and iPhone 5,2. These phones are in the PreEVT stage of development and are codenamed N41AP (5,1) and N42AP (5,2).
Both of these phones sport a new, larger display that is 3.999 inches diagonally. Apple will not just increase the size of the display and leave the current resolution, but will actually be adding pixels to the display. The new iPhone display resolution will be 640 x 1136. That's an extra 176 pixels longer of a display. The screen will be the same 1.9632 inches wide, but will grow to 3.484 inches tall. This new resolution is very close to a 16:9 screen ratio, so this means that 16:9 videos can play full screen at their native aspect ratio.
Daring Fireball's John Gruber seems to agree, that this is going to happen – which makes it an almost certainty.
What I've heard from a couple of little birdies is only that Apple has been noodling with increasing the height of the display, keeping the width and pixel density exactly the same as on the iPhone 4 and 4S. I had not heard an exact pixel number for the new height. 1152 made some sense, but doing some math after reading Weintraub's report, 1136 makes a lot of sense.
Mathematically this makes sense, but how about UX?
I really hope this isn't true. 3:2 works really well for iOS devices right now. 16:9, which is the ratio Apple would go to if this turns out to be true, isn't good for anything but HD video.
How many times do you watch full HD video on your phone? Seriously.
Also keep in mind that lots of content is being shown in 4:3 or other ratios that would still give you those nasty black bars.
I get why you would want more screen real estate on a smartphone. I recently tried a friend's Galaxy Nexus with it's 4,3″ screen and it was very nice having a larger screen, but the Nexus also has a wider screen and that makes all the difference. Just stretching the screen, the way it is mentioned in these articles, just doesn't make sense to me.
I guess most apps wouldn't be affected too much, but apps that can't be "stretched" by default, like games, would look horrible. The same goes for books and magazines. I really can't see Apple doing this to their developers. Maybe the iOS 6 beta, most likely to be introduced during WWDC on June, 11th, will give us some clues as to what Apple is planning.
In the meantime I suggest you read Jesus Diaz' article at Gizmodo. I fully agree with him, and even though I know that Gruber is well-connected, I call bullshit on a 1136×640 iPhone.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander.
In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the roasted vegetables, marinara sauce, cheeses, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix, until all the pasta is coated with the sauce and the ingredients are combined.
Pour the pasta into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and butter pieces. Bake until top is golden and cheese melts, about 25 minutes.
**Maybe my chosen vegetables are always too big, but mine always makes two 9x13 pans.

Match Preview: Ulster Rugby vs. Ospreys
And so the bandwagon rolls on!
Not too many teams (if any) will come away from Scotstoun with four points, so we've already taken a massive step towards the play offs at this early stage of the season. I know, I know, there's still a long long way to go, but there's no harm in doing all we can now to help ourselves down the line in April and May.
Don't forget, we're still unbeaten as well! Four games up, four wins recorded. With our policy of rotation in full swing, it means our squad is...

Match Report: Glasgow Warriors 17-22 Ulster Rugby
Spearheaded by Paddy Jackson, Ulster picked up their first ever Pro12 win at Scotstoun Stadium with a 22-17 triumph over the Glasgow Warriors.
Jackson scored a try and added seven points from the boot while Darren Cave and a penalty try accounted for the rest of Ulster's haul.
The returning Finn Russell kicked superbly for the hosts, who scored tries through Gordon Reid and in-form Tommy Seymour, but they couldn't deny their Irish visitors.
Jackson had something of a mixed start to the game as...

Match Preview: Glasgow Warriors vs. Ulster Rugby
Time for our first big test of the season.
With all due respect to the Dragons and Treviso they will not cause too many problems to the top teams in this league, and the Scarlets came to Belfast last week with several injuries so we were always going to be favourites, especially at home. 12 points from our opening three games was the bare minimum - 13 is pretty good all things considered.
But in those games we were afforded the luxury at times of being able to drop our performance levels and...

Joe Barakat to leave Ulster Rugby
Ulster Rugby has today confirmed that Assistant Coach, Joe Barakat, will leave the Province in December to take up the position of Senior Assistant Coach at Western Force in his native Australia.
Barakat arrived at Ulster in the summer of 2015 on a two-year contract and he is primarily responsible for defensive strategy and the contact zone.
He previously coached at the Waratahs in Sydney and had a five-year spell in Japan, while he has also held roles with the Australia U21 side and with the...

Injury Update - 20/09/16
Ulster have released an injury update ahead of Friday's trip to Glasgow Warriors with several key players ruled out of the game against the Scots.
Both Craig Gilroy (great toe) and Luke Marshall (concussion) will miss the game with the winger out for 1-2 weeks and the centre currently undergoing the standard return to play protocols.
Kyle McCall (side abdominal injury) is also doubtful for the trip to Glasgow, while winger Jacob Stockdale (great toe) will miss the next two weeks of action...

Match Report: Ulster Rugby 19-8 Scarlets
They were made to fight for it, but Ulster made it three wins from three in the Guinness PRO12 with a 19-8 win over the Scarlets at the Kingspan Stadium.
Returning fly-half Paddy Jackson pulled the strings with Louis Ludik and Iain Henderson scoring the tries, while a late Will Boyde try for the Scarlets threatened to make for an interesting finish.
Ulster were let off early when Rhys Patchell mishit a penalty from straight in front of the posts and Jackson made him pay by landing his first...

James McAvoy won't act opposite Patrick Stewart in X-Men: Days of Future Past
- Bang Showbiz
- 1 March 2013
James McAvoy has hinted he won't be sharing scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' as his character will not have any contact with his future-self
James McAvoy won't have scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.
The actor - who plays a younger version of telekinetic Professor X in the franchise - isn't sure he will get to act opposite the veteran actor, who originated the role in the initial 'X-Men' trilogy.
He said: "It'll be cool, but I don't think we get any scenes together, sadly. I don't think there's any future-self talking to past-self."
As well as bringing back the cast of 'X-Men: First Class', which serves as a prequel to the original trilogy, the latest film will also see the returns of Patrick, Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
The actor admits that starring in the blockbuster superhero series makes him feel more secure in being able to talk smaller roles.
He told Empire magazine: "Having an 'X-Men' [film] in your back pocket, which hopefully will go for three movies, it makes you go, 'Right, it doesn't matter if I make 14 films that nobody sees because in two years' time I'll make another 'X-Men.'
"Meanwhile, Fox are thinking, 'Why isn't this f**ker out there building his profile so he can make us more money on the second 'X-Men?' "

[Editor's note: Former Raiders receiver Tim Brown appeared on Tuesday's Pro Football Talk (5:00 p.m. ET, NBSCN) to elaborate on recent comments regarding his belief that a late decision to change the game plan prior to Super Bowl XXXVII hampered Oakland's ability to beat the Buccaneers. The full transcript of his discussion with Erik Kuselias, the entirety of which will be broadcast on tonight's edition of The Erik Kuselias Show (7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., NBC Sports Radio Network), appears below.]
EK: Tim, you said the facts are what they are, less than 36 hours before the game we changed our game plan and we go in to that game absolutely knowing we have no shot. Are you saying that Bill Callahan changed the game plan to give your team less of a chance to beat the Buccaneers?
TB: I'm not necessarily saying he did that for that reason, but it happened. The game plan changed and no matter what we said we couldn't get him to rethink his thought process. . . .
EK: You understand there's obviously a difference between making a poor coaching decision, even a colossally poor coaching decision, and throwing the game. Is this a colossally poor coach decision or are you saying that he was trying not to win the game?
TB: Well, this is what I'm saying, we have history here and the history doesn't speak well for him. So I think if it wasn't for his history it would have been exactly that, a very poor coaching decision . . . . That's the problem with this situation is because we've had that history, it was hard to just say, "Man, this was one of the worst coaching decisions in the history of Super Bowls," and the guys were even able to go a step further than before because things that they had dealt with before like this.
EK: When was the first time it crossed your mind that this may not just be a bad coaching decision and this may enter the area of intentional sabotage?
TB: Well, it was talked about in the locker room after the game. . . . We were just trying to find a reason why that would happen. Why would you change the game plan so close to the game if you know that the negative repercussions can cost you the game? If you go out and lose the game with the game plan you had before, that's cool. You did what you had to do. Maybe the game plan maybe wasn't great. You change it all of a sudden. You're probably going to have it in the players' heads that you're not going to win a football game. Your players never want to go into a game knowing that if something starts to go bad — because all it takes is one or two guys to say, "Oh, this shouldn't happen or that shouldn't have happened." And you can have other guys playing hard. But in football, you got eleven guys out there at one time, if one of those guys is not doing their job, we got a problem. That game just got out of hand, obviously were now trying to throw the ball in way we hadn't practiced all week. And it became very, very difficult.
EK: So Tim, at the end of the day, you have $10 million tax free if you were right. And I realize you're guessing. Is your best guess that Bill Callahan was incompetent, or that Bill Callahan was trying not to win the game?
TB: Wow . . . look I can't say the man was incompetent because he was far from that. He is one of the smartest offensive coaches I've ever been around. I certainly can't come back now and call him incompetent. Any decision you make you have to know that there are going to be positive outcomes and negative outcomes. So from that standpoint, you only leave me with one other choice. I'm going to have to take the latter of those two choices. I don't think that he was incompetent. That's not who Bill Callahan is. He was a very good football coach. I would feel better about the situation almost knowing that if it happened that way then I wouldn't have had a problem with it than thinking that he absolutely had no idea what he was doing. I'd known him for five years at that point and the one thing you can't put with Bill Callahan is incompetence.
EK: Have you ever addressed this with him directly, one on one?
TB: Yeah, I did at the beginning, when we came back in 2003. Even right up to the Super Bowl, and I got a "hey, that's just what we decided to do"-type answer, and that was it. That year didn't get off to a good start anyway. It really started to go way downhill after that, so we knew we were in a totally different situation at that particular point and this wasn't a "hey, lets see if we can go back and do it again," it was really survival mode, it was just trying to get through the year without somebody getting really hurt. It was really bad.
EK: There are people who say, "Good for you, you're right on the money," and other people who are asking the question, "Why does it take you 10 years to say something publicly?" How do you respond to that?
TB: I was on the TV, when I was on FOX in 2005, 2006, 2007, I said it there every year. There was some situation that prompted me to say it ever year. So I said it the last 4-5 years. Me and Dallas [radio], we get into a conversation about Super Bowls ever year and my story comes out. Why it blew up the way it did now, my wife was telling me, "You've been talking about this for years, so why today is all of a sudden are people jumping all over this deal?" So I have no explanation of why this is happening the way it is, but I think it's a documented fact, if you go back and look at 2005 when I first retired and I was doing that FOX show week in and week out, I said it then.
EK: You were a Dallas kid and you played there and obviously a legend there, and now you're there as well, look who's calling the plays for the Dallas Cowboys next year. Bill Callahan is prying the playbook away from the head coach, Jason Garrett. What did you think when you heard that today?
TB: This guy, if he is in the position of offensive coordinator, that's perfect for him. Because he can do what he does best, he can come up with plays and call the plays but as a head coach you have a totally different responsibility. And I'll tell everyone here in Dallas, I think he'll be incredibly great as offensive coordinator if he's allowed to run his offense. Now if he's running somebody else's offense that could be more difficult. But with the receivers, the quarterback, and if they can get a running back that shows up week in and week out, with Jason Witten, I mean this is day one an explosive offensive team. It's not going to be the same explosion that you've seen, it may be a team that takes nine plays to 12-15 plays to get a TD, he has to find out if he's going to run his offense the same way he ran the Raiders offense.
EK: OK, new subject. This is the most direct way I can ask you, why the heck aren't you in the Hall of Fame?
TB: Man, I have no clue about that. That's been the most frustrating thing about this, is not really getting an explanation because I'm not a guy that understands something like, "We needed for you to score 105 touchdowns instead of 100 touchdowns." You know whatever it is, I mean I understand, but to not know is mind boggling and that's the frustrating part about this deal, is when they don't call your name, they don't give you a reason why. Even my guy who's in there presenting for me, he said that he's going around to everybody before hand saying, "Hey, how do we look?" and they say "Good, good, good," but when I don't make it and everyone's in there saying, "I voted for him, I voted for him." They don't have to say they didn't vote for someone, and they don't have to give an explanation. So you don't know what you have to do and if it has anything to do with my numbers then that's never going to change as much as I think I can sometimes, I'm not going back out on the field.
EK: So when you get in, who's going to present you?
TB: It will definitely be my brother. He was the one who got me into football back in the day and he taught me how to catch the ball and he was really trying to torture me and throwing the ball at me as hard as he could saying, "You better catch every ball," so it got up to the point where I was catching every ball, and he didn't want to play catch with me any more.
EK: Finally, when you get in, top rung of the trophy case, what goes on top spot? Is it the Heisman Trophy, or is it the gold blazer?
TB: Oh man, I'll tell you what this Heisman has been with me for a long time. I think you're going to have to find another place for this one because one can't go on top of the other, they're both incredibly special.

I actually didn't know if the race was going to happen because of a fire that began within the course on the Wednesday night before Craig Thornley (race director) sent out an e-mail notifying us of the fire and said he would keep us up to date regarding the race status. On Friday morning the website stated it would be announced by noon if the race was rerouted or cancelled; looking at the fire website and all of the trail closures, it didn't seem promising. None the less, I started my drive not knowing if I would be racing or turning around and driving back home. By noon, the news was good and Craig had gotten his reroute approved, the race was on! The new course still included a majority of the original course, just cutting out the area of the fire and it ended up adding on a few miles, rather than running 100K, we got to run something like 108K, lucky us!
I traveled solo and slept in my car the night before, certainly not the most comfortable but I rarely sleep well before a race so this would be nothing new! We started in the dark at 5 a.m. with our headlamps and we immediately started climbing. After a bit, there were 2 men in front of me (the eventual 1st and 2nd place) as we continued to climb. At the top of the climb the terrain flattens for a bit and then began some downhill. As expected, a few of the guys right behind me passed me as we descended. Ian Sharman, Yassine Diboun, Jesse Haynes and one or two others. Alison Bryant was right behind me and we chatted and continued to run together through the 1st aid station. I realized I had forgotten to drop my headlamp shortly out of the aid so I quickly ran back and dropped it. As we started the next climb Allison was right in front of me. I followed her up and we seemed to have similar climbing paces. We reached the summit where we had to turn around and run down the same trail for a while, this was nice because I could see how close the next women were. Denise Bourassa was close behind us. I passed Alison on the descent and this was the last I would see of her for the rest of the race. Throughout many of the next miles I ran with a new acquaintence, Gerad, and enjoyed the conversation as it made the miles go by easily. It was fun to go through aid stations as Denise's crew was always there and cheered for me along with some spouses of other Boise runners. Eventually Gerad had to make a pit stop and I continued running alone for a number of miles. I suffered with a side cramp for a few miles but thankfully it subsided and didn't return the rest of the race. I ran along enjoying the endless singletrack and beautiful scenery when at one point I was startled by a voice behind me. It was Gerad who had caught back up and he informed me that Denise was right behind him. We entered the next aid station and Gerad, Denise and I were together. Gerad and I left the aid station just before Denise and began the long climb up to Maiden peak. Suddenly I realized I had to start running faster if I was going to stay ahead. Denise had picked up her pacer, Ken, and also had picked up her pace! I started to have some doubt that I could keep the lead knowing she had her pacer pushing her. Climbing is certainly my favorite part of races and I knew I could push myself up Maiden Peak. Gerad had gotten out in front but by the time we reached the last section of the climb, a rocky and steep part to the peak, I had caught up to him. I passed him as we made our way to the peak and then we turned around and headed right back down. I saw Denise beginning the last of the ascent as I reached where the trail split, I knew she was right on my tail. The first of the descent is rocky and steep so I picked my way down, trying to stay upright. Soon the rocks gave way to a smooth, downhill singletrack where you could run as fast as your legs would let you. I hit the last aid station - only 7.5 miles to go. I got a quick drink and snack and headed out. Gerad soon caught me and said he thought Denise was only about 30 seconds back. Stressful! I have trained with Denise and I know the speed she has. I also know she is strong at the end of races and also had a pacer who could possibly push her to go faster. I didn't know if I could keep my lead but I decided I would run as hard as I could for as long as I could. I thought about the $250 difference in prize money and the fact that I was missing my son's basketball tryouts to be here - I was motivated. I ran harder than I actually knew I could after 60 tough miles. I passed a few more of the gorgeous high mountain lakes and tried to take in the scenery. On switchbacks I would look behind me, fully expecting to see Denise. As I dropped on to the final 1/4 mile to the finish line, I realized I was going to hold on for the win. I crossed the finish just behind Gerad, 6th place overall.
I was excited I had won and excited to be done! I have to say, the Waldo 100K is certainly one of my favorite courses out there, maybe my overall favorite! It has plenty of mountains to climb and the scenery is second to none. The views from the peaks, all the singletrack, the high mountain lakes; it makes the miles go by quickly. The course was marked perfectly and I never really worried that I was possibly off course. The aid stations were plentiful and the volunteers were friendly and encouraging.
I really have to hand it to Craig and Meghan (Arbogast) and their crew for putting on such a great race, especially with all the curveballs thrown their way this year! Congrats also to Tim Olsen who won the men's race! It is a must do race for sure. As with every other race, I wore my Montrail Mountain Masochists, DryMax socks and carried Clif Bloks for some energy between aid stations. I drove home after the race, making it home by 2:15 a.m. We just found out that my son made the club basketball team so we were both winners that weekend!

Sash Windows Tamworth
Welcome to Classic Sash Windows and Carpentry, a leading installer and repairer of Sash Windows Tamworth.
Sash windows were originally a French innovation which came about due to Continental windows mainly opening inwards and restricting internal space somewhat, particularly in passageways. Therefore vertically sliding windows, which are sometimes used as garden doors, were invented but without the counterbalance mechanism that we associate with sash windows today. Pulleys ropes and counterbalance weights were an English innovation when the design came to this country in the mid-18th century. So the double hung vertically sliding counterbalanced sash became commonplace, not only in grand mansions but also small cottages. However, glass was exceedingly expensive in larger panes so the 'Georgian' style with small panes of glass set into glazing bars (or astragals) was used practically in all cases except for the very wealthy home owner.
By the mid-19th century excise duty was removed from glass reducing its cost by 75%, therefore the less wealthy could now afford larger panes of glass. So the glazing bars (astragals) started to be eliminated, being replaced with a single pane, or, more commonly retaining just one vertical glazing bar and two panes of glass per sliding sash. This became what is now commonly described as the Victorian style sash window. A common misconception is that the glazing bars were removed because either they were rotten or to make painting easier. In fact, it was usually done to prove the affluence of the owner to show off to his neighbour.
At Classic Sash Windows and Carpentry we firmly believe in retaining this rich history for our benefit and that of future generations. Old buildings in Tamworth have such character and the windows are one of the main features of that character. If the windows have been removed or replaced in the past by something inappropriate, we will replicate the original window, copying it in section, style and mouldings and quite often with reclaimed 'drawn' glass and fitting it to its original set back position where appropriate and with internal moulded architraves and nose-boards. Or, better still, if the original window still exists, we can carry out repairs and replace timbers to copy the original and bring the window back to good condition and fully operational. Subject to any planning restrictions, Eco-Slim high performance sealed unit double glazing can also be fitted.
Our specialist team installs and repairs sash windows all over Tamworth, so if you are based in Tamworth and would like to arrange for a free consultation, please contact Classic Sash Windows today.

It's an ok product to drink I guess. I would not buy it at all. My house dont like energy drink to sugary. Other people maybe. But not for us.
I liked it.Taste is good. I would like to buy it again and again. The best thing is it has only 5 calories and it's organic. I have tried so many energy drinks this one became my favorite.

While the volatile price of gas can give you whiplash and screw up household and business budgeting, the fact is the price of gas has been steadily rising since 2002. It only took a break in 2008 after the global financial crisis shattered economic demand.
During this decade of increasing gas prices — largely driven by increasing demand and dwindling supply — and increasing oil company profits, we in America have continued to reliably subsidize oil companies with our taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, we have not been as reliable or as robust with our subsidies to renewable energy alternatives.
So when gas prices go up, many Americans don't have a choice but to pay it. This is called dependence, not capitalism.
Before today's Senate vote on whether to repeal these oil subsidies, the oil industry lobbyists have launched an ad campaign to try to convince you that if we take away their free ride, our prices will go up even more.
Never mind that the independent researchers at the Congressional Research Service have already told Congress that the bill would not affect gas prices.
But put aside the official analysis for a moment. Just look at the chart above.
We've been doing it the Big Oil way for a decade. We give them taxpayer money, and we taxpayers get nothing back. Just higher and higher prices, and no accessible alternatives.
When something isn't working, it's time to try something else.
