» From "Lynyrd Skynyrd Bio" // October 09, 2013 12:33:31 PM UTC
growing up a teen in the '70's "skynyrd" were THE band man .. sure there was some good stuff from bands overseas, but these dudes showed us american kids if we work hard and practice dreams are possible ..
when '77 closed it was a sad time for us fans [as it was for the guys].. but deep down i knew that music couldnt be kept down.
i cranked up the "blackfoot" albums, and waited ....
when it was announced in '87 the boys were touring, we went fu@kin nuts man... now it's been 27 years since then,
we've lost more brothers and sisters in that time, and yet the music still breathes and lives.
"last of a dying breed" , "god and guns", these songs still hit hard and are powerful albums, especially in these
troubled political times.... the Senate and Congress could learn much from the "simple man" members of skynyrd.
ol' Charlie Daniels says it pretty well in his own "simple man" ........ god bless america.....

October 26th.
Holy shit Blake woke up today, and he was all kinds of loony tunes.
I've spent almost the entire day listening to his ranting and raving, and I tell you what, he's seen some serious stuff while he was down and out. He didn't even know where to start, and I don't even know where to start in recanting it all for here.
Um, okay so they aren't dead, and they aren't alive. Both of the dudes are in like this, weird place where the dead go. Blake had a hard time describing it, but as best as I can tell, it's like being in a dream you can't wake up from. He also said that it was always June 23rd. Like the afterlife was frozen solid on the day this all began, and when you die, you just go back to that day, and sit there waiting this all out. Blake said he was wandering around, and found Adrian in the orchard, knocked out cold, surrounded by a pool of blood. He also said the orchard was stuck in the summer. Small apples. Weird stuff right?
I think that's just about what he said. He also said that Adrian and him were like, hunting down evil and shit in the place where evil lurks. Adrian has mentioned it a few times in passing randomly. He calls it the Lacuna. I looked it up in one of the old dictionaries around here, and Lacuna means:
A gap, or missing part. Like in a story, or like an argument, or even more weirdly, like a hiatus, or break.
I don't know where he dug that word up, but for some reason, it creeps me the hell out. I don't even like thinking that word now. I always dug that Italian rock band Lacuna Coil, but now fuck that. I can't even listen to those guys again. Adrian has them on this laptop too. I've got half a mind to just delete them off the hard drive just for safety's sake. I feel like we're inviting badness.
That's silly, but I'm kinda freaking out here. Blake had a lot to share.
So in this dream world, not the Lacuna mind you, Adrian and Blake find Gilbert, and he's like chilling at his house. He's got all this good info, and he lays it all on our two heroes like they're at the Oracle at Delphi, and Adrian kinda shits a brick, but he hikes up his skirt anyway, and when they go to the Lacuna to get Blake all freed up from the reins of evil so he can come back alive and stuff, Adrian challenges the DEVIL to a fight, and the DEVIL pussies out and sends Sean. Remember that douche nozzle from Westfield? The d-bag that ran the show and made all those people miserable? I guess the evil or whatever sends him to fight Adrian, and Adrian straight up smashes that guy's face. Then he like, grabs him, and threatens the DEVIL.
How large do your testicles need to be to threaten evil? Or, alternately, how small does your brain have to be? Either way, Adrian has it covered. Giant brass gonads, and a teeny weeny brain. He's double qualified.
So yeah. Adrian beats this Sean dude's ass yet again, and then like, after a few days, he talks to Blake and poof, Blake wakes up like he's been asleep all this time.
Blake said it was so amazing watching Adrian in the Lacuna. I can only imagine. Blake said it was like watching some magical knight, or a superhero, or like, someone really powerful.
I'm wondering what the hell we have to do to get him to wake up, and if he does wake up, will he be able to shoot fireballs out of his weiner, and with a wave of his hand turn water into wine, and make vaginas get all lubricated. That'd be perfect.
I'm so nervous.
Blake said that Gilbert was sure that we'd be getting into some serious trouble here soon. He said that because I was writing in this diary, just like Adrian did, I might draw trouble onto us. Gilbert thought that because Adrian was down and out, we were vulnerable. And you know what, I feel vulnerable. I'm scared dad. Scared big time.
I wish you were here to help, but even if you were, you weren't all that good a shot. I guess it'd be nice just to see you again.
Blake said that you talked to him and Adrian while he was wandering in the wastes of the dream world, or whatever you want to call it. I'm kind of comforted to know that you're sort of okay, wherever you are. Not in pain or anything. Blake said Adrian said you sounded sad. I hope you're not sad and worried about us. Mom and I are doing well, and you can rest.
You've earned it. Dying is a real combo breaker.
So impending doom. Yep. Heard it here first. If Gilbert is sure we're up the creek without that fricking paddle, then we are up that creek. He didn't make many mistakes about stuff, and that worries me a great deal. What I wonder now is… what is Adrian up to on the other side? And apparently… as Gavin told me in the dream, Adrian's body needs to be repaired lickety split, or we may have to deal with whatever is coming without him.
Not cool. Not sure what else to say here. The Factory is doing well. I guess the undead over that way just up and left a few days ago, which really makes me wonder where they went. You want to place a bet on "right here?" Gavin's tower is okay. No fighting over sexual preferences, which is a huge improvement.
The rain went away, so we were able to get most of the hay moved. We need another full day according to Ollie to get it stored properly. We're storing it all over the place too. There's a LOT of frigging hay for these cows. I almost want to accidentally shoot one so we can have a hamburger, and so we don't need all this damn hay. Also, the chickens are doing great.
The weather has been crappy like I said, but it's clear right now. Nights are super cold though. Nipples into diamonds cold, and that's pretty cold. If I had boobs, I'd want to tuck one of those hand warmer things underneath them to keep them snuggly. Sadly, I don't have boobs, and I just layer to keep my chest warm.
TMI dad? I mean, you knew I had no boobs. You brought me up, and if you hadn't seen my lack of chesticles, you're just blind. Still love you.
I'm off. I'm tired, and I am so scared. Adrian's sleeping pills are great by the way! I take one at bedtime, and within maybe half an hour I am light's out. I am going to try and sleep without one tonight to make sure I don't get hooked, and to stay a little more coherent in the very likely event we get pwned by a horde of the Devil's minions.
Good times.
Adrian is an obsessive folder. If he has a napkin on the table, he'll fold it three or four times to make it neat. His laundry is folded perfectly and stored away perfectly. His socks are bunched perfectly. His bed is made perfectly. Every day. It drives Mallory nuts.
Kinda funny that a guy that swears, farts, and makes dick and pussy jokes all day and night spends that much time and effort on the little things.
Or is it exactly as you'd expect. Funny guy.

Comments On Jan 03, 2014:Looks are stellar. What I really like about it, is that it is so light. It is highly vented everywhere. Perfect summer or spring gear. The only problem is that it is highly susceptible to staining from mud. Don't use this gear in muddy conditions. Save it for nice days. On the bright side it was a perfect and comfortable fit.

A wanted teenager was arraigned after shots were fired outside the VFW in Millsboro late Friday night.
Delaware State Police say around 11:50 Friday night, a security guard who was working at a private event at the VFW got into an argument with a patron who refused to leave. The patron finally got into his vehicle and left, but two gunshots were heard from the direction of the vehicle. Troopers who were nearby heard the shots, and responded to the VFW to investigate. Witnesses gave troopers a description of the vehicle, and troopers found the car was still in the parking lot. A 19-year-old was driving, and a 17-year-old was in the passenger seat. No guns were found during a search of the vehicle, but the passenger was found to be wanted by local courts. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Georgetown, and was then released to a parent.
Anyone with information is asked to call State Police Troop 4 at (302) 856-5850, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333. Tips can also be sent in by using the State Police Mobile Crime Tip App on their smartphones.

Italian Double Concentrated Tomato Paste
- Summary
This classic tomato paste gets its bright, intense flavor from tomatoes ripened under the Italian sun and prepared within 12 hours of harvesting to capture their natural sweetness. A century-old company in Parma makes the paste for us, using a traditional recipe that calls for extra reduction—the secret to creating a super concentrated tomato flavor and a rich, smooth texture. It makes a traditional, flavorful base for homemade pasta sauce, pizza sauce, stews and soups. A little bit goes a long way; the resalable tube allows you keep the remaining contents fresh for later use.
- 4.85 oz.
- Made in Italy.
- Ingredients
- Tomatoes, salt.

I've searched but I can't find anything and I'm getting a little desperate.
The situation
I decided to update to 1.1.1 from 1.02.
I followed This guide. But when I try to restore to 1.1.1 it unpacks the file and then gives the error message: The phone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1).
What are my options?
More info: I'm doing the shift + restore thing then selecting the 1.1.1 firmware. I've downloaded it twice so it's not corrupt.
Thanks a looooot

When it comes to energy, stick with quality
Enterprise Product Partners may be among the shrewdest oil companies in the land.
This time it is Enterprise Product Partners (EPD) with an 8 million share secondary priced at $54.56, a deal where about a dozen execs and board members so far have filed that they participated in, all with sizable amounts.
Of course the money will be used to pay down debt so the company can expand once again.
Enterprise Product Partners may be among the shrewdest oil companies in the land. It has major pipe coming in and out of all the important shales: Eagle Ford, Permian, Haynesville, Barnett and Marcellus. It is the pipeline company that has just about the best exposure to the huge petrochemical refineries that crave the natural gas liquids feedstock.
It transports an astounding 4.3 million barrels of natural gas liquids, oil, refined product and petrochemicals a day. And it pays 66 cents per unit each quarter, just giving you a 6.5% increase.
Like many of the MLPs, Enterprise can't lay down pipe fast enough, even as its vast network would seem to have pretty much every important field but the Bakken covered.
- Also see: Cramer: when you wish upon a CEO
These master limited partnerships are notorious issuers of stock. EPD is only about a point-and-a-half off its high and it did trade down to $49 from $55 not that long ago on the usual scare that Congress would change the tax status of the company.
But I think it's still a decent entry point to get some of this 4.79% yielder. I would put on half and then hope it goes to a 5% yield through price depreciation.
Keep in mind this is the Big Daddy of all of the MLPs at $50 billion. It will sell down if another big MLP offers stock. Still, it is the highest quality and has the biggest opportunity of all of them right now, even bigger than Kinder Morgan (KMP) and certainly more than Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), even as ETP yields 7.7%. Trust me, I learned the hard way that the yield cannot make up for the price depreciation when the company isn't boosting the distribution or is as poorly run as ETP.
Stick with quality. It's obvious that the insiders sure are. Who am I to say they are wrong? I just hope you get a chance to buy it underneath their price.

Hey all! I'm new to Hackintosh. I've never attempted to make one before, but after recently buying a new computer I've decided I'm sick of Windows. I'm not 100% sure my hardware is capable of running OS X. There are some things that are promising, like that the manufacturer of my wireless card (Ralink) puts out OS X drivers, so that's at least one major hump that I shouldn't have to deal with.
I think the main problem I'm having is that HP has presumably stunted my BIOS in their custom flavor. When trying to follow guides for how to configure my system to get OS X to run, I can't get at necessary settings, particularly some AHCI options for SATA (in my BIOS, the only AHCI option is the SATA mode, opposed to RAID and IDE). So I feel like my system might be able to run OS X if I reflashed the BIOS, but I haven't been able to figure out where I could get one.
Here's some info about my hardware.
Can anyone steer me toward success or point out that I won't be able to get it running after all? If anyone has experience doing this with an HP system or similar hardware, let me know!Board: PEGATRON CORPORATION 2A86 1.04E01

Hi all,
My contract with Orange is due to expire in a month and I was thinking about signing up for an O2 Simplicity package with the Unlimited Web Bolt-On.
If I do so, will I be able to connect via EDGE to use the bolt-on?
I tried searching the forums but couldn't find a definitive answer on this one.
If no is the answer to this, will there be any drawbacks to using the iPhone with O2's GPRS?

History of the Library
Ohio librarians are proud of the state's "long history of literacy." But Dover had to wait until 1902, and like many communities had to wait on an "angel" for financial help. It came from the American Sheet and Tin Plate Co. who wanted a library for its employees, and the general public.
It was located at the corner of Front and Factory Streets (Tuscarawas Avenue). It contained 2,000 books in charge of a Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, and included everything from "Six Thousand Years of History" to "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." Modern day mystery fans will appreciate it also contained "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."
In 1907 the community of Dover took over, moved the library to the corner of Cherry and Fifth Streets, and the Simpson family remained custodians until 1914.
The new high school was built in 1916. The library building was dismantled and the library moved to the school basement. In 1923 came the state law requiring a community library board. Mrs. L.H. Alexander, Francis Briegal, Mrs. P.G. Justice, S.O. Mase, Mrs. Ella Seibel, Dr. K. Earl Shaweker, and Rev. J.E. Weinland, comprised the first board. The first librarian was Vivian McCarthy who served as a high school senior.
Mrs. Justice retired from the board in six months, assumed librarian's duties and served "competently and devotedly" for 22 years.
In 1927 an "unfortunate impression" arose. A newspaper story reported that many Dover residents thought the basement library was a student library. But figures were released saying that circulation had increased 100 percent in four years and it was feared the library would soon outgrow its quarters.
In August 1934, The Daily Reporter headlined the fact that the library was opening in an "Elaborate New Home." This was the former private home at 417 Walnut Street, which was to house close to 11,000 books. The "new" library was described as "commodious, with excellent natural lighting, serving its purpose well and conveniently accessible to both high school student and the general public."
That building no longer exists. In 1953 funds for a new library were acquired with a bond issue and the present building opened its doors in 1955. Dan Cooley, a 1965 Dover High graduate, became library director in 1980 and retired in 2009. Jim Gill became the library director in January of 2010.

Eurocopter Unveils its New EC130 T2
The EC130 T2 features enhanced comfort, improved operational performance and increased versatility.
Dallas, Texas, February 12, 2012
Eurocopter today unveiled its newest helicopter, the EC130 T2, which features enhanced comfort, improved operational performance and increased versatility for this popular member of the company's lightweight single-engine product line.
The EC130 T2 was revealed during a ceremony at the 2012 Heli-Expo exhibition in Dallas, Texas, where Eurocopter also announced seven launch customers for the rotary-wing aircraft covering a total of 105 bookings: Maverick Helicopters, Papillon Helicopters, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, Scandinavian Helicopter Group, Air Commander, Europavia and Enloe FlightCare. The diversity of operations performed by these clients underscores the EC130 T2's ability to excel in a broad range of missions – from aerial tourism and utility to emergency medical airlift.
"The EC130 T2 is the latest step in Eurocopter's strategy to expand and evolve our helicopter lineup. The high number of orders is proof that Eurocopter innovation is perfectly aligned with customers' requirements and the evolution of their operations," said Eurocopter President & CEO Lutz Bertling. "The EC130 T2 has literally been 'love at first flight' for our customers. We are fully committed to begin deliveries of the new EC130 version in 2012.
While retaining the EC130's existing external lines, approximately 70 percent of the EC130 T2's airframe structure has been modified.New and updated features on the helicopter include the use of a more powerful Arriel 2D turboshaft engine and upgraded main gearbox; the incorporation of an active vibration control system; improved air ventilation, distribution and demisting systems; a cabin interior structure redesign with a full flat floor; a cockpit update for enhanced man-machine interface; new energy-absorbing seats that improve weight and balance for passenger loading; integration of a crashworthy fuel tank; and increased maintenance accessibility for electrical and air conditioning systems.
The EC130 T2's increased performance is provided by its Turbomeca Arriel 2D engine, which provides 10 percent more average power than the EC130's current powerplant with lower specific fuel consumption. Based on the proven Arriel 2 engine family, the Arriel 2D benefits from such technology advancements as a new axial compressor and new blade materials, and also provides a higher time between overhaul (TBO) intervals. The Arriel 2D is used at its full-power rating of 952 shp. on the EC130 T2, and is the same engine that equips Eurocopter's evolved AS350 B3e helicopter in a de-rated version.
Performance improvements for the EC130 T2 include a higher maximum gross takeoff weight (2,500 kg. for internal loads and 3,050 kg. when external loads are carried) and a speed increase of up to 10 kts. Even with these enhancements, the EC130 T2's external sound levelremains within the rules for flights at America's Grand Canyon National Park – an important factor for tour operators.
Optional features on the EC130 T2 are a new-generation air conditioning unit, tinting of the helicopter's wrap-around windshield, and a right-hand sliding passenger door. The air conditioning system includes design optimization for improved performance, effective hot/cold temperature control, and better air distribution. Derived from the system on Eurocopter's EC175 seven-ton-class helicopter, it uses a simple control box with straightforward operating logic similar to climate control units on automobiles.
Future development for the EC130 T2 includes the integration of a new glass cockpit design utilizing dual-screen electronic flight displays matched to a Garmin GPS/NAV/COMM receiver (currently GNS series to be expanded to GTN series). This advanced glass cockpit solution will be available as well for the AS350 B3e helicopter and will be developed through the American Eurocopter subsidiary in the United States and installed with a supplemental type certificate (STC). Both versions will be on display at Eurocopter's Heli-Expo booth #1917.Also planned for future development on the EC130 T2 is a 1,500 kg. cargo swing for an aerial work/utility configuration, and the availability of Eurocopter's Stylence interior – which merges ergonomics and advanced technology in a refined cabin finishing that offers the environment of a fully-equipped in-flight office for business executives and companies.

MUMBAI, India — The Food and Drug Administration approved three drugs made by Glenmark Generics last month and gave tentative approval to a fourth, the Indian generic drug maker said.
On Dec. 23, the company announced the approval of the arthritis treatment indomethacin in the 25-mg and 50-mg strengths; sales for the drug were $20 million during the 12-month period ended in September 2010, according to IMS Health. The agency also approved sulfamethoxazole and trimethorprim double- and single-strength tablets, used to treat chronic bronchitis, bacterial infections and other conditions; sales for the drug were $31 million, according to IMS.
In addition, the FDA granted tentative approval for eszopiclone, a generic version of Sepracor's insomnia treatment Lunesta, which had sales of $760 million, according to IMS. Tentative approval means that a generic drug meets the FDA's conditions for approval, but the agency must wait to grant final approval until the branded drug loses patent protection.
On Dec. 28, the agency approved the company's lithium carbonate extended-release tablets in the 300-mg strength. A generic version of Noven Therapeutics' Lithobid, the drug is used to treat manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. Total sales for the drug were $21 million during the 12-month period ended in September 2010, according to IMS.

STP will be a co-primary sponsor of Richard Petty Motorsports and the No. 43 Jani-King STP Ford Fusion driven by Aric Amirola at the Martinsville spring race. The paint scheme will be commemorative of the first time the STP logo was on Petty's car at Riverside in 1972.
Petty's STP sponsorship is as much a part of the Hall of Famer's brand as the No. 43 and his Stetson hat.
"I can't wait to see the '72 Riverside STP car paint scheme back on the track," Petty said.
The No. 43 STP car hasn't won in Martinsville since John Andretti took the checkered flag in April 1999.

About the Iowa Youth Writing Project
The Iowa Youth Writing Project (IYWP) is a non-profit outreach collective, founded by University of Iowa Writers' Workshop graduates in 2010, that aims to join Iowa City's unique literary heritage with Iowa's larger community, empowering, inspiring, and educating Iowa's youth through language arts and creative thinking.
It provides one-of-a-kind writing, tutoring, publishing, and creative learning opportunities to Iowa's children and teens. To ensure that all young people can participate, the IYWP provides programs at little or no cost, thanks to the time, energy, and creativity of IYWP volunteers, partnerships with local organizations and institutions, and the generosity of community members.
In July 2012, the Frank N. Magid Undergraduate Writing Center in the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts & Sciences was granted a Better Futures for Iowans award, launching a pilot partnership with the IYWP, which will secure, expand, deepen, and build on the IYWP's ongoing outreach efforts. This initiative, supported primarily by the Office of the Provost, brings the University of Iowa and the larger community together to work toward common goals of social good and better futures for all of Iowa's youth.
IYWP Goals and Objectives:
- To foster imagination and the art of creative writing and communication for children and teens
- To provide free opportunities for project-based literary and interdisciplinary learning
- To inspire children and teens with a lifelong appreciation of the writing arts
- To create events, workshops, and other avenues for children and teens to work with nationally recognized and professional writers

ANNAPOLIS (AP) — The state is considering buying 256 acres in far western Maryland to protect a number of rare species.
The Board of Public Works was set to vote Wednesday in Annapolis on the proposed $550,000 deal.
The land near Bittinger is owned by the Casselman Basin Coal Co. If approved, the land would become the Cunningham Swamp Wildlife Management Area.
The meeting agenda states that the property supports several rare species, including the state-endangered wood horsetail plant and the Nashville warbler.
The purchase would be subject to an agreement with federal officials restricting mineral extraction on the property and prohibiting any surface mining for coal.

No Bambi for you, Mrs. Doe
Some people want so badly for deer birth control to work that they actually think it will, even on wild populations.
I wish I had a couple bridges to sell.
A week ago on the Outdoors page we ran the deer there do what deer everywhere do. They eat the easiest food available such as gardens and ornamental plantings. They walk in front of moving cars. They give ticks and parasites a place to live.
Bad catfish should be eaten
ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has launched a statewide campaign to educate citizens about invasive blue and flathead catfish - their negative impact on native fish species and what anglers can
do to help.
Nice first one

Simple machine
A simple machine is a non-motorized device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force.[2] In general, a simple machine can be defined as one of the simplest mechanisms that provide mechanical advantage (also called leverage).[3]
Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines which were defined by Renaissance scientists:[4]
A simple machine is an elementary device that has a specific movement (often called a mechanism), which can be combined with other devices and movements to form a machine. Thus simple machines are considered to be the "building blocks" of more complicated machines. This analytical view of machines as decomposable into simple machines first arose in the Renaissance as a neoclassical amplification of ancient Greek texts on technology,[5] and is still a central part of engineering in today's age of applied science. For example, wheels, levers, and pulleys are all used in the mechanism of a bicycle.[6][7] Between the simple machines and complex assemblies, several intermediate classes can be defined, which may be termed "compound machines"[8][3][9] or "machine elements".[10] The mechanical advantage of a compound machine is simply the product of the mechanical advantages of the simple machines of which it is composed.
Various authors have compiled lists of simple machines and machine elements, sometimes lumping them together under a single term such as "simple machines",[1] "basic machines",[6] "compound machines",[8] or "machine elements"; the use of the term "simple machines" in this broader sense is a departure from the neoclassical sense of the six essential simple machines, which is why many authors prefer to avoid its use, preferring the other terms (such as "machine element"). In all cases, the theme of an analytical and synthetic connection from simple to compound to complex is at work. A page from a 1728 text by Ephraim Chambers[1] (in the figure to the right) shows more machine elements. By the late 1800s, Franz Reuleaux[11] identified hundreds of machine elements (calling them "simple machines"). Models of these devices can be found at Cornell University's KMODDL website.[12]
The idea of a "simple machine" originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the "Archimedean" simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw.[3][13] He discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever.[14] Later Greek philosophers defined the classic five simple machines (excluding the inclined plane) and were able to roughly calculate their mechanical advantage.[5] Heron of Alexandria (ca. 10–75 AD) in his work Mechanics lists five mechanisms that can "set a load in motion"; lever, windlass, pulley, wedge, and screw,[13] and describes their fabrication and uses.[15] However the Greeks' understanding was limited to the statics of simple machines; the balance of forces, and did not include dynamics; the tradeoff between force and distance, or the concept of work.
During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how much useful work they could perform, leading eventually to the new concept of mechanical work. In 1586 Flemish engineer Simon Stevin derived the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane, and it was included with the other simple machines. The complete dynamic theory of simple machines was worked out by Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in 1600 in Le Meccaniche ("On Mechanics").[16][17] He was the first to understand that simple machines do not create energy, only transform it.[16]
The classic rules of sliding friction in machines were discovered by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), but remained unpublished in his notebooks. They were rediscovered by Guillaume Amontons (1699) and were further developed by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1785).[18]
Mechanical advantage[edit]
A simple machine has an applied force that works against a load force. If there are no friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. This allows an increase in the output force at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load. The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of the machine.
If the simple machine does not dissipate or absorb energy, then its mechanical advantage can be calculated from the machine's geometry. For example, the mechanical advantage of a lever is equal to the ratio of its lever arms. A simple machine with no friction or elasticity is often called an ideal machine.[19][20]
For an ideal simple machine the rate of energy in, or power in, equals the rate of energy out, or power out, that is
Because power is the product of a force and the velocity of its point of application, the applied force times the velocity the input point moves, vin, must be equal to the load force times the velocity the load moves, vout, given by
So the ratio of output to input force, the mechanical advantage, of a frictionless machine is equal to the "velocity ratio"; the ratio of input velocity to output velocity:
- (Ideal Mechanical Advantage)
This shows that mechanical advantage can be calculated from the speed ratio of the device. Speed ratios are generally easy to calculate from the dimensions of the machine using the principle of virtual work.
In the screw, which uses rotational motion, the input force should be replaced by the torque, and the velocity by the angular velocity the shaft is turned.
Compound machine[edit]
A compound machine is a machine formed from a set of simple machines connected in series with the output force of one providing the input force to the next. For example a bench vise consists of a lever (the vise's handle) in series with a screw, and a simple gear train consists of a number of gears (wheels and axles) connected in series.
The mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the ratio of the output force exerted by the last machine in the series divided by the input force applied to the first machine, that is
Because the output force of each machine is the input of the next, and , this mechanical advantage is also given by,
Thus, the mechanical advantage of the compound machine is equal to the product of the mechanical advantages of the series of simple machines that form it,
Energy losses and efficiency[edit]
Machines lose energy through friction, deformation and wear, which is dissipated as heat. This means the power out of the machine is less than power in. The ratio of power out to power in is the efficiency η of the machine, and is a measure of the energy losses,
The velocity ratio of a machine is fixed by its dimensions, so it is the mechanical advantage that is reduced by the losses, that is
So in non-ideal machines, the mechanical advantage is always less than the velocity ratio by the product with the efficiency η. So a machine that includes losses such as friction, deformation and wear, will not be able to move as large a load as a corresponding ideal machine using the same input force.
The efficiency of a compound machine is the product of the efficiencies of the series of simple machines that form it,
Kinematic chains[edit]
Simple machines are elementary examples of kinematic chains that are used to model mechanical systems ranging from the steam engine to robot manipulators. The bearings that form the fulcrum of a lever and that allow the wheel and axle and pulleys to rotate are examples of a kinematic pair called a hinged joint. Similarly, the flat surface of an inclined plane and wedge are examples of the kinematic pair called a sliding joint. The screw is usually identified as its own kinematic pair called a helical joint.
Two levers, or cranks, are combined into a planar four-bar linkage by attaching a link that connects the output of one crank to the input of another. Additional links can be attached to form a six-bar linkage or in series to form a robot.[19]
Classification of machines[edit]
The identification of simple machines arises from a desire for a systematic method to invent new machines. Therefore, an important concern is how simple machines are combined to make more complex machines. One approach is to attach simple machines in series to obtain compound machines.
However, a more successful strategy was identified by Franz Reuleaux, who collected and studied over 800 elementary machines. He realized that a lever, pulley, and wheel and axle are in essence the same device: a body rotating about a hinge. Similarly, an inclined plane, wedge, and screw are a block sliding on a flat surface.[21]
This realization shows that it is the joints, or the connections that provide movement, that are the primary elements of a machine. Starting with four types of joints, the revolute joint, sliding joint, cam joint and gear joint, and related connections such as cables and belts, it is possible to understand a machine as an assembly of solid parts that connect these joints.[19]

Feature: A Conversation with Dr. Karen Mapp, Consultant on Family Engagement
Like other areas of education innovation, there are no silver bullets when it comes to pressing questions of how best to engage parents and families, particularly in high-need schools, in order to raise student achievement. But there are informative studies as well as researchers and practitioners on the front lines of family engagement who possess insights that can point the way. With the prospect of doubling the amount of Title I funds set aside for parental and family engagement, promising policies and practices that can be pursued and brought to scale in this area of education reform are more important than ever before.
Dr. Karen Mapp, lecturer on education and director of the Education Policy and Management Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has joined the Office of Parental Options and Information (POI) as a consultant to explore a number of pressing issues of both policy and practice – ones that will inform and improve not only POI's work, but also the broader policy framework of parental and family engagement as it applies to Title I and other nationwide federal school improvement efforts.

While many students and teachers enjoyed the week away from school for vacations and down time, some schools held Intersession, staying open for credit recovery, test prep and academic intervention.
Dr. Bryn Lapenta, senior director of student accounting for the WCSD, said Thursday 10 schools and more than 300 students took advantage of the intersession, which ended Oct. 18. Those who attended were immediately surveyed following the week's completion, and an online survey is now available for anyone in the community to complete.
"We tried to think of all the responses we could possibly get to make this survey," Lapenta said, explaining that the online form will branch off depending on answers to every question. "If they (the survey taker) did intersession, then we want to know how it went and why they did so. And if they did not, we want to know if it was because child care was too expensive or if they were out of town. We want to hear from everyone we possibly can in the community."
The survey begins by asking what level of school students are in and whether or not they attended intersession. Questions about enjoying or not enjoying the October break also comes as part of the survey. Lapenta said because the new calendar has a much different feel than the old, it is important for the WCSD Board of Trustees to know how the community is reacting.
"I went to the board with this survey plan in September and we will probably do another in December," Lapenta said. "We will likely look at another one in January. One of the interesting things to examine will be the semester ending Dec. 19 instead of in mid-January.
"We will be looking to see how many students earned their credits by finishing the semester before Winter Break. The data for that will go to the Board and they will decide how we should proceed from there."
The October intersession data will be presented to the Board of Trustees on Nov. 19.
The new balanced calendar remains in effect for the 2014-15 school year as well. Lapenta said if the survey results are not showing improvements or are showing problems in the community, it may cause a change in the calendar, but it will likely not be for quite some time.
"The rule is we have to have two calendar years in place at all times," she said. "If we were going to make a change to this calendar style, it may not even happen in the 2015-16 year because we will have to go back out to the community, hold town hall meetings and make sure we have a pulse for what the people want."
As far as intersession academic measures, Lapenta said it will be difficult to see if the extra time for deficient students makes a dent in the graduation rate. She said when intersession is used for state proficiency test prep, as was the case for many schools this month, the district may show more students passing the exams, which can be an indication that intersession is successful.
The survey is open to students, parents, staff, and community members and will be available through Nov. 4. The survey is available in English and Spanish at www.washoe.k12.nv.us.

Late last year, largely unnoticed in the west, Tunisia's president, Moncef Marzouki, gave an interview to Chatham House's The World Today. Commenting on a recent attack by Salafists – ultra-conservative Sunnis – on the US embassy in Tunis, he remarked in an unguarded moment: "We didn't realise how dangerous and violent these Salafists could be … They are a tiny minority within a tiny minority. They don't represent society or the state. They cannot be a real danger to society or government, but they can be very harmful to the image of the government."
It appears that Marzouki was wrong. Following the assassination of opposition leader Chokri Belaid last Wednesday – which plunged the country into its biggest crisis since the 2011 Jasmine Revolution – the destabilising threat of violent Islamist extremists has emerged as a pressing and dangerous issue.
Violent Salafists are one of two groups under suspicion for Belaid's murder. The other is the shadowy, so-called neighbourhood protection group known as the Leagues of the Protection of the Revolution, a small contingent that claims to be against remnants of the old regime, but which is accused of using thugs to stir clashes at opposition rallies and trade union gatherings.
The left accuses these groups of affiliation with the ruling moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, and say it has failed to root out the violence. The party denies any link or control to the groups. But it is the rise of Salafist-associated political violence that is causing the most concern in the region. Banned in Tunisia under the 23-year regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, which ruthlessly cracked down on all forms of Islamism, Salafists in Tunisia have become increasingly vocal since the 2011 revolution.

In a written complaint being filed today, the Center for Media and Democracy -- a Madison, Wisconsin based watchdog group -- charges that leaked financial records show that Block used a non profit group, called Prosperity USA, to improperly pay Cain campaign expenses. If verified, the group says Prosperity USA – which was founded by Cain's chief of staff Mark Block -- should be stripped of its tax exempt status.
"A charity founded by Mr. Block appears to have fronted tens of thousands of dollars to a political campaign that was led by Mr. Block … This requires an investigation by the IRS into the charity's activities and expenditures," said Lisa Graves, the executive director of the Media and Democracy Group in an eleven page letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman.
The Cain campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning. The campaign's lawyer last week told NBC News that the Cain campaign takes the allegations "very seriously" and had hired an outside counsel to review the issue ... The Center for Media and Democracy's letter is the second legal complaint in four days triggered by the publication of Prosperity USA internal financial records by a blogger, Dan Bice, who writes for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The IRS will investigate such complaints, but the probes – which can result in fines and a denial of tax exempt status – can often take years before they are resolved. (On Friday, the Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility filed a complaint alleging election law violations with the Federal Election Commission.)
The leaked records appear to show repeated financial dealings among Prosperity USA, the non profit headed by Block, the Cain campaign, and Americans for Prosperity -- a major political advocacy group founded by oil billionaire David Koch.
Koch, together with his brother, Charles Koch, have pumped tens of millions of dollars into conservative causes in recent years and are widely credited with helping to spawn the emergence of the Tea Party.
Cain, who used to serve as a paid speaker for Americans for Prosperity (AFP), has not shied away from his relationship with the Koch brothers. In a speech at an Americans for Prosperity Conference on Friday, he declared himself the Koch brothers' "brother from another mother"-- a line that got a boisterously enthusiastic response from the AFP activists at the Washington Convention Center.
But the legal complaints could turn Cain's Koch connection into a problem for the candidate, even as he struggles to recover from last week's sexual harassment allegations. (A spokesman for AFP last week said the group was reviewing unspecified "financial dealings" it had with the Cain presidential campaign).
Prosperity USA was one of a number of Wisconsin groups -- all with the name "prosperity" -- that Block started during a period he was serving as the executive director of AFP's Wisconsin chapter. Entries from the leaked financial documents appear to show AFP funds flowing into Prosperity USA that were then used for the benefit of Cain's campaign: "From AFP- H.Cain travel- Hill Aircraft," one of the entries reads.
Non-profits like AFP and Prosperity USA are barred by law from contributing to presidential campaigns. The Center for Media and Democracy's letter to the IRS commissioner notes that Block has previously been fined for election law violations and was barred from participating in Wisconsin politics for three years.
