Sarah Bergbreiter wins NSF CAREER Award
This "crab-bot" in Bergbreiter's lab is an example of a microrobot with legs.
Assistant Professor Sarah Bergbreiter (ME/ISR) is the recipient of a 2011 National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for "Microrobot Legs for Fast Locomotion over Rough Terrain." The five-year award is worth $400,000.
Bergbreiter will create legs that will enable microrobots to walk, and even run, over rough terrain. She will model viscoelastic microrobot legs in a dynamic simulation environment and experimentally validate the models using a new microfabrication process that includes viscoelastic materials.
This work will lead to the first sub-centimeter robots that can move quickly over complex surfaces, in addition to a wealth of data to enhance understanding of insect locomotion. Insects like cockroaches use control mechanisms embedded in their legs to prevent them from tipping over at high speeds. These same ideas can be ported to microrobots by using viscoelastic materials for dynamic stability control. Specific innovations will include parameterized models for microrobot legs, fabricated artificial insect legs with tailored compliance and damping, and integration with actuators to test the microrobot legs on different surfaces.
Microrobots that move through real-world environments at insect-like speeds can search through small cracks in rubble after natural disasters, provide low-cost sensor deployment over civil infrastructure, and engage in stealth surveillance. In addition, robust, viscoelastic mechanisms similar to these legs can provide breakthroughs in applications such as minimally invasive surgery and micromanufacturing.
The NSF CAREER program fosters the career development of outstanding junior faculty, combining the support of research and education of the highest quality and in the broadest sense.

'Person of interest' in custody in triple killingsAugust 12, 2014 @ 2:32 pm (Updated: 2:47 pm - 8/12/14 )
KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) -- Sheriff's officials say they're looking for several "persons of interest" and have arrested another on unrelated charges as detectives investigate the killings of three people at a south-central Washington farm last weekend.
A Benton County sheriff's spokesman, Lt. Chuck Jones, said Tuesday he couldn't release further information without jeopardizing the investigation. The Tri-City Herald reported that authorities also disclosed at a news conference that one of the victims was pregnant with a nearly full-term baby, who did not survive.
A farmworker found the bodies of pregnant 23-year-old Abigail Torres, 22-year-old David Perez-Saucedo, and 19-year-old Victoria Torres, who was not related to Abigail, near a cornfield Saturday morning. All the victims were from Pasco and had been shot to death.
Officials said the three were seen in Umatilla, Oregon, across the Columbia River from Benton County, several hours before their bodies were found. Oregon law enforcement agencies have been assisting on the case.

Five tutorials have been developed to assist users undertake key functions of the PPS Register.
Visit the PPS Register tutorial page to get started.
It is recommended that you read the PPS Register General Conditions of Use before starting a search.
If you are searching the PPS Register using an individual's name and date of birth, you may only search for an authorised purpose. Generally, the people who can search the PPS Register using an individual's details are:
When searching for personal property that has a security interest attached, particular identification details are required in order to conduct a search for it.
The PPS Register offers six search types as outlined in the table below and indicates the type of information to provide to conduct each search.
The search result may affect your decision on whether to go ahead with a deal, whether it is an investment, supply agreement, loan or a purchase.
If there is a registration or registrations returned from your search you may want to consider your options. Going ahead with a deal that has a current registration on the PPSR could lead to repossession of the property by a finance company or other individual or company.
You need to make sure that you enter the details correctly, as required by the particular search you are doing, or you risk not getting the result you should from the PPS Register - you may not get details of security interests when you should, or you get details of security interests that don't relate to the particular property you are interested in.
An important thing to remember is that the PPS Register is a noticeboard of security interests and you may need to make further enquiries to verify the result you get from your search. In addition, the accuracy of information on the PPS Register is dependent on its source, usually the person who registered the security interest, and the Commonwealth cannot guarantee the quality, completeness or accuracy of the information contained on the PPS Register.
NEVDIS information is a vehicle data extract provided by a third party as recorded by each state road transport authority and passed through to the PPSR.
Motor vehicle information is a value added service requested from NEVDIS for each transaction involving a motor vehicle VIN or Chassis Number. NEVDIS data is not part of the security interest or other registration kind registered on the PPSR and it is presented without any guarantee regarding its accuracy.
The NEVDIS data is intended to assist users with checking that the VIN or Chassis Number they entered, along with information they have about the vehicle from other sources, is accurate and to provide users with any data held on NEVDIS about a vehicle's stolen or written off status.
You may not always get motor vehicle information returned from your search. Look for motor vehicle information under the heading of "NEVDIS Details" on your search certificate.
Where available you may receive the following NEVDIS vehicle information:
NEVDIS data will not be returned for:
Queries in regard to the vehicle information contained in NEVDIS data should be directed to the state motor registries.
Queries regarding stolen vehicle information should be directed to the state police.
The PPS National Service Centre cannot provide any assistance in correcting this data.
A stolen vehicle notification, or the absence of one, does not necessarily mean a vehicle is or is not stolen. If there is a stolen vehicle notification you wish to enquire about, you should contact the Police force in the State or Territory indicated immediately after the date in the notification.
The reference number at the end of the notification should be quoted as a part of your enquiry. Please note that there may be multiple stolen notifications shown. A stolen notification can be for a VIN, Plate, Chassis and/or Engine.
Tasmanian stolen vehicle information is currently unavailable from this service. For information about the status of Tasmanian vehicles, go to: https://www.transport.tas.gov.au/MRSWebInterface/public/regoLookup/registrationLookup.jsf (Note: you will need to provide the vehicle registration plate number to search this site).

Corky's Corner: Getting to the roots of the shortboard
By Corky Carroll
I recently got an e-mail asking me for my take on who was really responsible for the shortboard revolution that took place in the late 1960s. Was it the Californians or the Australians?
This subject has been debated for so long and I have read and heard so many different opinions on it that I hate to even offer my opinion on it. But I will anyway because I was deeply involved in that movement and for some reason, that I don't fathom, hardly ever get any credit for. It's not really not getting the credit thing that bugs me as much as those who take credit for these things when they shouldn't. So anyway, here is the way I saw it all come down from a front-row seat.
In the mid 1960s California surfing was in love with noserideing. There was even a special noseriding contest that Tom Morey, of Morey Boogie fame, put on with a cash prize — the first cash prize ever offered. We were also riding pretty long boards at the time, mostly 9'6" and up. In '65, Mickey Munoz, Phil Edwards and Hobie Alter came up with the "noserider" design for the Morey contest and that caught on big time. It seemed that they worked better in longer versions. Mine was 9'10."
In 1966, the World Championship was held in San Diego. The Californians were favored. But we had heard about Nat Young doing some great things with a new board design and when he showed up it was apparent that he was onto something. His board was not really different than ours other than it was shorter. His was 9'2" — and him being a fairly large guy made it seem even smaller.
On the first day of the contest both David Nuuhiwa and I were able to beat him in sizeable lefts at Mission Beach. But then the event moved to smaller right-handers at Ocean Beach and he just flat out creamed all comers. When it was over he had clearly won and it was also clear to me that the shorter board length was the direction of the future.
Right after the contest got over with I started experimenting with all kinds of different shorter board designs. Dewey Weber made a little board for a girl surfer named Joey Hamasaki that was interesting but too square in shape for my taste. I borrowed a board from Mike Hynson that was pretty cool and I liked the nose outline a lot. I wound up using that outline along with a combination of the different experiments on the original "Mini Model" which we released at the end of 1966 and sold through 1967. That board was the first "shortboard" on the market.
These boards where not all that short by today's standards, but for then they were radical. When I look back on those boards now they look like dinosaurs. I won almost every contest that year on boards in the 8' range. Nobody else was riding short boards yet so I kinda had a huge advantage. I took some smaller boards to Hawaii that winter and everybody thought I was nuts. Dick Brewer told me flat out that they would never ride short boards in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON--Authorities dropped charges yesterday against an aide to Virginia Sen. Jim Webb who carried a loaded gun into the U.S. Capitol complex.
"After reviewing and analyzing all of the evidence in the case, we do not believe the essential elements of the crime of carrying a pistol without a license can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt," said U.S. Attorney Jeff Taylor, top prosecutor in the District of Columbia.
Webb senior aide Phillip Thompson, 45, of Stafford County, was arrested on March 26 after Capitol Police spotted the loaded pistol and two other loaded magazines in a briefcase being scanned by an X-ray machine at the entrance of the Russell Senate office building.
Thompson told the officer at the building's entrance that the weapon belonged to Webb.
The senator said later he did not give Thompson the gun but refused to say whether it was his. Webb told reporters Thompson had carried the gun into the building "completely inadvertently."
District of Columbia law prohibits carrying a handgun or concealed weapon without a license.--The Associated Press

Community Description
Cold Lake is a city in northeastern Alberta, Canada, named after the lake it is situated near.
The city's economy is inextricably linked to military spending at CFB Cold Lake. The region also supports oil and gas exploration and production. The Athabasca Oil Sands project in Fort McMurray is having a growing influence in the region as well.
Every year Cold Lake hosts military forces from around the world for Exercise Maple Flag, a training exercise where pilots and support staff of NATO allies can take advantage of the Air Weapons Range and relatively open rural air space. Running from 4 to 6 weeks and starting in May of each year, commercial accommodations in the entire region are left with little to no vacancy. This annual exercise contributes a substantial amount of capital into these industries and other hospitality-related businesses.

Off the Grid Across America
Pedaling Coast to Coast for a Sustainable Nation
Cycling 4,700 miles across the USA, that's the easy part. So what's the hard part? How about doing it off the grid? That means:
- Using electricity generated by solar panels.
- Creating near zero trash and carrying any created for the entire journey.
- Using water directly from natural sources (lakes,rivers, wells, and rain) or water that is going to waste.
- Eating locally produced, organic, and unpackaged foods or food that is going to waste.
- Using human power and avoiding fossil fuels completely.
- Shopping at businesses that are committed to creating a healthy planet.
Over 104 days of cycling Rob managed to use just 160 gallons of water, create a mere 2 pounds of trash, plug into 5 outlets, not turn on a light switch and eat 284 pounds of food from dumpsters!
Off the Grid Rules of the Road:
1. Transportation
Rob aimed to cross the country with the usage of zero fossil fuels. That meant not getting into a car, bus, or any other vehicle that uses fuel even on his rest days in the cities. He managed to do just that, save a one mile ferry ride into Manhattan. His share of the fuel was about .25 gallons.
2. Electricity
Rob aimed to create and use his own electricity generated by solar panels. He equipped his bike trailer with Goal Zero solar panels and used the PowerPot to charge electronics from the heat of his campfires. The electricity he generated was used to power his laptop, cellphone, bike lights, and headlamp. He managed to not turn on a single light switch, turn anything on in a house, take a single hot shower, use a stove, or use any electronic device that was not powered by electricity he created.
Electricity that he used indirectly included walking through automatic doors, accidentally triggering automatic lights, buying food when cash registers were used, and getting money at the bank. Wifi was another small electricity draw but again his laptop was powered by solar. Even automatic doors and light switches were avoided. He did plug into five outlets during the journey when he ran out of solar energy but wanted to continue to spread the message through social media.
3. Near Zero waste
Rob is aimed to create almost no garbage as he crosses America. Any waste that was created was recycled, up cycled, or composted. Anything that could not be repurposed via one of these manners was carried until he reached Vermont. He weighed and kept track of the garbage that he created.
All food waste was composted as was most human waste. He created just two pounds of trash in 104 days while the average American creates 4.5 pounds per day
4. Food
Rob's plan was to eat only locally sourced, organic, natural, and minimally or unpackaged foods. But when he couldn't find that, which was often, he ate from dumpster instead. For this trip local was considered food from within the state he was in or within 250 miles. Food that he purchased mostly come from local farmers markets, farms, and eco-conscious grocery stores but 70% of his diet came from supermarket dumpsters. The idea behind that was to have the smallest environmental impact possible from food consumption. Eating food that would have gone to waste has a positive carbon footprint because it is being diverted from the landfill and it eliminates the need for virgin resources.
When he needed to cook he made a fire with wood found in the area.
5. Water
Rob's water came from natural sources like rivers, lakes, and rain as well as from wells. He purified his water using the Katadyn Pocket filter. Rob did not turn on a faucet, buy a bottle of water, take a shower, use a flush toilet, or wash clothes in a washing machine but he usually remained very clean and presentable and smelled good. When water was not available directly from natural sources he found wasted water in water bottles on the road side, leaky fire hydrants and faucets, and from broken sprinklers. He bathed and washed his clothes in lakes and rivers.
6. Consumption
Rob's goal was to shop at businesses that are committed to creating a healthy planet and practice corporate social responsibility. He prepared for the trip and thus did not have to purchase much besides food but when he did he purchased sustainably produced products from sustainable businesses. Rather than purchase new he also aimed to purchase used items or repurpose items from the garbage. He did not carry a credit or debit card so payed in cash for everything he did purchase.
Additional Personal Challenges:
Positive Impact
Rob aimed to leave each state better then it was when he entered it by inspiring people to live in harmony with the earth, their community, and themselves. Hee planted native wild flowers about every other day as he was riding along and hosted some bike riding and seed planting events.
Chemical Free
Rob lived 100% alcohol and drug free for the entire summer. Although he does enjoy beer and wine in moderation in his normal life, he did not have a drop for the entire summer to promote healthy and clean living.
He avoided all chemicals as well and did not use any body care products such as shampoo, deodorant, colognes, soaps, and toothpastes that have synthetic chemicals and petroleum based ingredients in them. He used biodegradable organic soap from Dr. Bronner's to keep himself squeaky clean.
Positive mindset
Rob aimed to not swear for the entire journey. Every time he swore he did 10 pushups and donated $1o to Below the Surface, a non-profit he works with. He managed to swear just nine times, or about every other state he passed through. He also aimed to have a positive state of mind as much as possible and not complain.
The Off the Grid 1% Initiative:
Funds were raised for 8 environmental non-profits that are making the earth a better place to live. The non-profits are all 1% for the Planet recipients and focus on different aspects of sustainability including food, water, waste, transportation, and energy. Read More HERE

the crust is too hard. everything on top is good, the store bought dough was pretty good too but the very bottom is almost rock hard. how do i make it so it's a nice crust that's crisp but not rock hard? i had the pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and on the highest temperature. was that the problem?
re: cook.p.everett
it's on the very bottom of the oven, not even on a rack..should i put the rack on the bottom level?
re: scott123
the only answer i have to that is, i cooked it for about 10-15minutes.. and it wasn't that big?
re: ChiliDude
I totally agree. Anyone who has invested in a pizza stone should have this book. It is fantastic! It will raise your pizza making to a new level.
Why are you using store bought dough.
That is part of your problem, you have no control over your ingredients.
However the pizzerias in Napoli (are there any better?)have incredibly hot ovens much hotter than 550 F. That is always one of the problems with domestic kitchens, we can't get our ovens hot enough.
Two great chefs in this country (England) have a couple of different approaches to the problem...
Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall thinks that the only way is to build your own clay oven. However if you don't have an open space it's a problem.
Heston Blumenthal (recently named "Best Chef in the World") suggests that you turn on you grill/broiler and get it really hot, whike this is heating you put a large cast iron frying pan/skillet on a high flame leave both for about 20 mins to get incredibly hot. Construct your pizze, then place it on the base of the hot pan, and put the whole thing under the grill.
The problem with this is you can really only do one an hour.
However make your own dough and make sure that you have got the gluten really streched. Use Canadian Red Wheat strong flour or something similar. Shop bought dough uses the cheapest ingredients, and will not have a very high gluten content which is necessary for good pizze.
Last month we had posted a link at the Home Cooking Forum http://www.chowhound.com/topics/349883 , to the very informative website by Jeff Verasano where he provides very detailed instructions for making perfect NYC style thin crust pizzas.
It is possible that Varasano's website and pizza making instructions might contain clues to your problem.
10-15 minutes is a long time for pizza unless you're talking about some kind of deep dish variety. I can't imagine cooking a pizza for more then 8 minutes - 10 would be if something went wrong.
Perhaps you're not rolling it thin enough, or you have too many toppings, which is increasing your perceived cooking time.
I agree with the notion of making your own dough, or picking it up from a pizza shop, rather than store bought. I suppose it could be good, but it's quite possible you're doing everything right, but have goofy dough.
re: GDSinPA
I always cook my pizza for at least 10 minutes. Closer to 12. It's beautiful stuff. Very thin crust, only mozz/parm, pepperoni, and sauce (plus a few secret spices).
But I do use an electric stove, and have not calibrated it. I set it for 500 degrees, but who knows...
re: uptown jimmy
We must be doing something different (not necessarily bad on either part). I was actually being generous giving it 8 minutes. If I cooked my pizza for 12 minutes, it would become a black cracker.
As it is, I usually get a slightly crispy crust and bubbling cheese (just starting to get color) right at 6 minutes. I set mine for the highest it will go - 550 - but it's a fairly new oven and I've never calibrated either - maybe it's getting even hotter than that.
I bake my pizzas on quarry tiles in the lowest level in the oven.
I place the other oven rack about 4 " from the broiler. When
the pizza crust just begins to get color I move it to the broiler
rack and turn on the broiler. That way the top is complete done,
bubbly and slightly browned. You have to watch it closely so it
doesn't burn. I usually watch it with the oven door open. It
doesn't take much time at all under the broiler, usually 2 to 3
minutes. This is with scratch bake homemade pizza crust.
Has anyone tried the pizza dough recipe in the November/December 2006(I think or maybe it was September/October) issue of Cook's magazine? I have never made my own pizza dough but I'm gearing myself up to trying that recipe.
Whenever I have made pizza I haven't been at all happy. I push out the crust in a greased jelly roll pan and put my toppings on baking it in a cranked oven with a pizza stone on the bottom. I try to keep the dough relatively thin and the toppings light but so far I get no crispness at all. The one time I tried to place the pizza on the stone directly with the aid of a wooden peel I had a disaster in my oven.
I've been improving the results bit by bit but it's still nothing to invite people over to try. Any hints would be gratefully accepted.
re: KingsKetz
I always place my dough on a very thin, floured aluminum cookie sheet, then dress it with sauce/toppings, then place the cookie sheet directly on top of the pizza stone. I had similar disasters as you, and stopped trying to slide the pizza directly onto the stone.
Works a treat. Trust me. Great pizza.
re: uptown jimmy
This will only work well with a perfectly flat cookie sheet. If the sheet is slightly warped, the part touching the stone will get a lot hotter than the portion that's insulated by a pocket of air.
Plus, there is the prevalent theory that the porous stone draws moisture out of the dough and creates a better crust. With aluminum, porosity is not a factor.
re: scott123
Yeah, I figured something like this. Hard to get that pie off the sheet and onto the stone, though.
You guessed right. The problem is you put the stone on the very bottom of your oven. The pizza is cooking from the bottom up, so by the time the top is done the bottom is a rock. Just move it up a level or two, depending on how your oven is designed (others may have their own preference, but I say try to keep it about 1/4 to 1/3 from the bottom of the oven). And as others have recommended, make it hot. 450 is the absolute minimum. 500 works for me.
And don't worry about using store bought dough. It may not be the absolute best, but it's good enough most of the time.
re: Zeldog
so, just checking...maybe put the rack on the third level( i have a small oven, so..the lowest rack?) and cook at 500?
re: personalcheffie
Preheating is a must. An hour is not excessive.

Edward E. Baptist (Cornell) will speak on his book The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism on Monday, Oct. 6 at 1:00 PM in Strozier Library. In this pathbreaking book, Baptist reveals how the expansion of slavery drove the evolution and modernization of the United States. Until the Civil War, Baptist explains, the most important American economic innovations were ways to make slavery ever more profitable. Through forced migration and torture, slave owners extracted continual increases in efficiency from enslaved African Americans. Thus the United States seized control of the world market for cotton, the key raw material of the Industrial Revolution, and became a wealthy nation with global influence. The book has received a great deal of attention, not least in the aftermath of a controversial review (subsequently withdrawn) in the Economist.

Last month, Oxford University Press released Prof. Alex Aviña's book Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside. "Specters of Revolution offers a penetrating account of guerrilla struggles in modern Mexico. Alexander Aviña captures how peasant longings, political repression, and the violence of poverty created a daring movement for justice. The state's response-a dirty war-evokes the darkest moments of Latin America's military regimes. At times hopeful, at times tragic, Aviña provides a profoundly moving Cold War drama." --Tanalís Padilla. Get it at your local bookstore, or online. Congratulations Alex!

The ear hook-style Powerbeats are made of plastic with rubber ear hooks. In true Beats style, these are unashamedly bright and colourful. They are straightforward to wear and slip around the ears with ease. Putting them to the test, the Powerbeats initially stay in place but when things get really sweaty the earhooks move around and the earbuds slip from the ears. On the sound front, Beats headphones have always undeniably been about bass and it comfortably overpowers everything else. It can actually feel uncomfortable at loud volumes.

Extremly wonderful and caring night time staff. My father and mother were in the 2nd room we used. My father became disoriented at 5:30am and began wandering the halls with his walker. My mother did not even know he had left the room. The Super 8 staff person could not find my father's name as register, so she brought my father to me because our last names are the same. I was so grateful that the staff was so caring. My father could have pushed his walker outside and we would not have known because we were all asleep. Much gratitude for his safe return to us. ...

Most of us have certain trigger foods that send our diets into a fiery tailspin. The plan is to identify your trigger foods and to replace these with more wholesome, real food substitutions in order to break the cycle.

Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.
26 Feb 2013 5:51 PM #3
As a workaround for other devs I've attached a "fixed" version of Direct proxy in which I've altered the class name and alias. In this workaround, I've cloned most of the Server.js class code for processResponse() but this is probably not the best long term solution for code maintenance (see a recommended fix in linked discussion post above).
Success! Looks like we've fixed this one. According to our records the fix was applied for TOUCH-4056 in a recent build.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Todd Graham has not lost faith in QB Taylor Kelly
The Sun Devil offense has gone missing.
After a "high-octane" start to the season filled with blowouts and dazzling performances by quarterback Taylor Kelly, ASU's offense has run out of gas.
Now on a four-game losing streak, the Devils are scrambling to score points and Kelly is starting to feel the heat.
Arizona State head coach Todd Graham was on Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Monday and expressed confidence in his sophomore signal caller.
"Our faith in Taylor [Kelly] has not changed," Graham said. "He is our starter and will be [moving forward]."
Kelly might have earned that faith from his performance early in the year. Through the first six games of the season, he threw 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
But in the last two games, Kelly has completed just 41 for 71 and had two touchdowns with four interceptions. He has also been sacked eight times.
Graham feels that ASU's inability to protect Kelly is why the young quarterback hasn't been himself lately and feels "any person that is under that kind of duress is going to struggle to play well."
"We've done a poor job of protecting him and I think we've probably done a poor job adjusting," Graham said. "As the season goes on, when people are game planning you and taking away things you are doing, you got to have other guys step up. We've got to step up to come up with some wrinkles here and there to help take the pressure of him."
Kelly and his offense should have an opportunity to find their rhythm this week when they welcome in Washington State for the last home game of the season.
The Cougars' defense is ninth in the Pac-12 in total defense and is giving up 33 points per game.

Louis - Fighting
You ran your hands up Niall's bare back as he kissed and sucked on your neck. You moaned loudly and wrapped your legs around his waist. "Mmm... baby, you're so sexy." Niall moaned drunkily as he started lifting up your shirt.
He threw your shirt on the ground and pushed you on the bed. You were at Harry's birthday party and had gotten drunk with Niall, when things started to heat up on the dance floor. It got so hot, he took you to the bedroom upstairs.
He kissed your lips sloppily and squeezed your bum. "Ah!" you gasped. "Ooooh, t-tease." You giggled and ran your fingers through his blonde hair.
You kissed him again while you unbuckled his belt. You tossed it on the ground and slowly pulled down his jeans. "F-Fasteeer!" he whined. "I wanna fuck you soooo badly."
"I know!" you laughed. You kissed him, forcing your tongue in his mouth. He moaned as you giggled into the kiss. All of a sudden, the door slammed open but you ignored it and carried on kissing him, not giving a fuck.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" you jumped startled and sat up, your legs still wrapped around Niall. You turned around and saw your boyfriend, Louis, standing in the doorway. His face was red with anger and because of how drunk you were, you saw steam pouring out of his ears.
"Baby?" you hiccuped. "Wot's wroooong?"
"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!" he screamed as he stomped in the room before slamming the door closed. You covered your ears with your palms. "You're soooo loud!"
"(y/n) WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN BED WITH NIALL?!" he shouted at you.
"What do ya thiiiink?" you laughed. "You're stoopid! Hehe."
"NIALL! GET OUT!" he screamed. Niall got up and ran out the door. "Buh byeee!" Niall shouted.
*flashback over*
It's been two days since the incident with Niall. You barely remembered anything besides Louis yelling. Harry had to tell you what happened, and you felt terrible. Louis hasn't spoken to you since then and you were worried.
You were lying on your bed, hugging your pillow. You really wished you hadn't gotten drunk, but the party was just so crazy. Your phone vibrated next to you, and you hoped it was Louis. You picked it up and checked your messages. It was just your friend saying hi. You sighed and put it down next to you. You had texted and called Louis about fifteen times in the past two days, trying to apologize but he never answered.
All of a sudden, there was a harsh knock at your door. You got up and shuffled to the door and open it. It was Louis! He looked really angry. Was he this mad when he caught me and Niall? you thought.
"Louis..." you said softly. He stomped in your apartment and slammed the door.
"Did I say you could come in?" you asked rudely. He ignored your comment and crossed his arms.
"Why were you in the bedroom with NIALL?!" he asked angrily. Louis was scary when he was mad.
"W-We were drunk... we didn't do anything, L-Louis..." you said shakily.
"Bullshit." he growled. "You would have if I hadn't walked in!"
You looked down at your feet. "I'm sorry."
"Whatever." he rolled his eyes. "You left me alone for HIM? I went to get a drink and you weren't there anymore. Harry told me you went upstairs and thats what I saw! You and Niall!!"
"Louis! I was drunk!" you started raising your voice.
"I don't give a damn if you were drunk or not."
"I'll bet you would of done the same thing with someone if you were drunk."
"No, I wouldn't."
"How do you know that?" you snapped.
"I'm smart; I'm aware of what I do when I'm drunk." he scoffed.
"Are you calling me dumb or something?!"
"No! Just - just... I can't believe you did that!! And you acted like it was normal! You laughed at me!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"You called me stupid and loud."
You turned around and stomped to your room. Before you could shut the door, Louis followed you in quickly. "Leave." you said, angrily. "No." he hissed.
Before you could say anything, he smashed his lips against yours, surprising you. You tried to push him off, but he gripped onto your hips tightly. "Mm... Lou-" you tried to say. You tried to resist him, but his kisses were so irresistable. You stretched your arms on his shoulders and started kissing him back, closing your eyes.

NY and NJ to Build Major Rail Link

NEW YORK—Amid talk of dysfunction inside the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency is moving forward on a project that is at the core of its mission—connecting the two states.
The Port Authority revealed updated plans Tuesday for a rail link between Downtown Manhattan and Newark Airport. The $1.5 billion project would extend the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) line and link riders to the AirTrain circuit at Newark Airport, which would then take them to destination terminals.
The Port Authority would be responsible for shouldering $1 billion of the cost, according to the 10-year capital plan. The project still needs the Port Authority board's approval later this month.
The estimated completion date for the PATH connection is 2024, and there will be an annual re-evaluation of the projects listed in the capital plan so the projected costs could change as the plan evolves.
When the Port Authority proposed the project in 2012, it was looking at $600 million in design and construction. Last year, the number was updated to $1 billion after a yearlong study. After continued discussion, the cost of the full project was estimated to be $2 billion–$4 billion.
Because the project doesn't include tunneling under Manhattan—which is extremely expensive—it may not be subject to huge cost overruns like a number of other Port Authority projects in the past decade, said Nicole Gelinas, a fellow with the Manhattan Institute.
The connection is a good infrastructure project, Gelinas said, and exactly what the Port Authority is meant to do: connect New Jersey and New York.
The project includes building a new platform at the rail link station, which connects the PATH to the AirTrain in Newark. Port Authority also plans to replace the storage yard near the station in Newark and looks for a public-private partnership to build a new garage nearby. Newark Penn Station will also undergo construction to fit the increase in ridership in both directions.
The Port Authority expects to spend about $575 million for the connection in the next five years, mostly between 2017 and 2018, and $625 million from 2019 to 2023.
A Boon for Lower Manhattan
Lower Manhattan is already comparatively more accessible, as every subway line stops there. Besides that, said Douglas Elliman broker Ariel Cohen, the area has immediate access to ferrie, and to the the East and West Side highways—some of the reasons why the area has been so desirable.
"That's a huge draw to the neighborhood for residential and commercial buyers and tenants, and the creation of a PATH link to Newark would only enhance that," Cohen said.
With the World Trade Center redevelopment also in progress, Lower Manhattan aims to be attractive to a global market and the Newark Airport connection does that, Gelinas said.
An easier connection to airports from Manhattan has long been a topic for the city's jetsetters. Ground transportation is currently the hardest part of getting to the airport, and the PATH connection will benefit those between Midtown and Lower Manhattan as well since Lower Manhattan is already highly accessible.
"If you look at other global cities—London, Hong Kong—they already do it much better than we do," Gelinas said. While the connection doesn't provide the one-seat airport-to-Downtown access these other cities have, "it will maybe make New York a more globally competitive city."
The connection will also take cars off the road, which means less traffic and congestion heading to Newark Airport, Gelinas said.
However, said Veronica Vanterpool, executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, Super Bowl passengers saw how effective an exclusive bus lane can be in cross-Hudson River travel. The PATH connection is not as significant, Vanterpool said, since NJ Transit already provides a link.
Over the next 10 years, the Port Authority expects to spend $3.3 billion on PATH investments. Half of that will be spent in the next five years for core projects, the connection to Newark Airports, and the redevelopment for the Harrison and Grove Street stations.

Watkins said his proposals are "a user fee concept, which, in my estimation, is exactly the same as a toll."
Tolls have generated a lot of controversy lately; Gov. Bob McDonnell has proposed adding tolls to Interstate 95 and possibly Interstate 64, leading to opposition from citizens groups, some lawmakers and two groups representing local governments.
Watkins' bill contains a provision requiring General Assembly approval for any tolls--currently, that's not required.
Other lawmakers say Watkins' bill is an option, but that there will be many proposals in the upcoming session.
"It's very ambitious," said House Speaker Bill Howell, R-Stafford, of Watkins' proposal. "I'm not sure we're ready to raise the gas tax 14 cents a gallon, and raise other taxes by taking away sales-tax exemptions. Something needs to be done, and I commend him for coming up with a proposal. I just think it's probably a little extravagant."
Watkins' bill might have a decent chance of passage in the Senate, but would face a tougher time in the House, where there are more Republicans and more have taken strong anti-tax stands.
"We've got to do something and we've got to make it a priority. The difficulty we have, we've got to come up with a plan that the House will go along with and the governor will sign," said state Sen. Richard Stuart, R-Stafford.
Stuart said that legislators are already talking about transportation proposals for the upcoming session, and that Watkins' is just one of them.
"There are some discussions that potentially could lead to a plan that the entire General Assembly could get behind. I don't know if it's going to be the Watkins plan or not. But there are a lot of us talking about potential plans that may be able to get us the money that we're going to need. I don't get excited about a plan that will pass the Senate, if that's as far as it's going to go. We have got to work with the House and the governor to come up with a plan that all of the chambers will agree on."
Sen. Bryce Reeves, R-Spotsylvania, said he hasn't fully read Watkins' bill, but that he expects an emphasis on transportation and K-12 education in the 2013 session.

Bright, Quick, Eye for goal (in the reserves) and muscled, so muscled he looks like he is wearing arm bands. Digger has managed 26 games for Town, all from the bench and 1 start against Burnley in his first season.
Soames was added to the squad in November 2002 and made a scoring debut in a 3-1 win away at Derby County on Boxing Day 2002.
Loves to run and charge at defenders but cannot seem to find scoring ways in the first team, making his Derby goal, his only goal for Grimsby Town. A decent youngster who has struggled with injury ever since progressing to the first team.
It was announced in June 2005 that Digger's contract would not be renewed; however, he was invited back for pre-season training in order to try and impress Russell Slade.

Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Interesting, as always, Todd.
Could you help clarify the difference between PNF stretching and the PIR PFS approaches?
Thanks for stopping by. PIR and PFS are I think Janda's and Lewit's names for stretches. Post isometric relaxation and post relaxation facilitation. I can't recall the details but they are all basically the same as PNF and lots of other names for stretches as well. All of them use the following elements in different combinations or sequences: Stretch, contract the agonist, contract the antagonist, iso hold, stretch more, relax. I don't really do any stretching so it all looks the same from where I'm sitting. What they all are basically getting at is reducing the level of threat associated with the stretch by getting the CNS familiar with the extended position and aware of how to get back quickly and safely. If I really needed to get some ROM like get into the splits, I would use one or more of those techniques to get there. Pavel's Relax into Stretch covers most of these tricks as I recall.
Ah, thanks. I have Pavel's ebook but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Somewhat unrelated follow-up, Do you know Thomas Myers' "Anatomy Trains"? Any thoughts on it?
Yes I know Anatomy Trains. I think its very well written with a a lot of good ideas, pictures, insights. Myers is a sharp guy. However, I think it is essentially a mesodermal as opposed to ectodermal approach. In other words, it analyzes movement and pain problems and tries to solve them in terms of the structure of the mesoderm, as opposed to the function of the ectoderm. I think that is generally a mistaken approach as explained in the above post. That being said, I think his mesodermal analysis is basically sound, except that it fails to include some key structures that mediate structural tension across joints – the nerves. My nerve mechanics series of posts discusses this issue a little.

your article helps me…thanks
I have one incredibly stiff hamstring. i haven't injured it. it feels frozen stiff? stretching does not seem to loosen it there is no pain just discomfort from the tightness. Why??? i am totally fit and healthy everywhere else.
I don't know exactly why your ham is stiff, but I think we can safely guess (barring some structural problem) that your CNS for some reason is threatened by the idea of it lengthening. You can think of the stiffness as a protective mechanism. A stiff ham might be protecting the low back, or the hip capsule, or is part of bracing for a fall because balance in the feet or elsewhere is poor. My recommendation would be to try some mobility drills for joints nearby and progressively further away and then reassess the stiffness. You might notice differences immediately after mobility drills. Good luck.

great article todd, thanks.
Thanks yogiclarebear!
I have a weird observation here… I have noticed that very often, mostly when i sleep, my hamstrings cramp up. Needless to say that it is excruciating. I jump out of the bed "jack-in-the-box" style and the only way I can stop it is by stretching he affected area…
What do you think?
That has happened to me before too. Not fun!
Cramping remains a mystery I think. Fatigue seems to be a factor in a race setting, but the "lack of electrolytes' thing has been debunked. It seems to be something about the muscle getting inhibited in its ability to stop the contraction. Maybe sleep does something similar to fatigue. Another thing that seems to promote cramping is contracting a muscle in the shortened range.
Reminds me – you might like the book sold by Alex at sweatscience.com. It's like the greatest hits of Lore of Running in a very short readable format (with a good section on cramping.)
Very well written!! I struggle with the words to explain this to my massage clients. Some want me to dig deeper, or as I call it "a bigger hammer". I'm currently learning Ortho Bionomy which uses the CNS to help facilitate a release of the muscle by putting it in it's most comfortable position. Fascinating!!! (it's early and my spelling could be way off). Thanks. Barb
Great article again Todd ! Did you heard about the method of Guy Voyer o french osteopath ? It is called LOADS :
"Longitudinal Osteoarticular Decoaptation Stretches (LOADS) are postural self-normalizing techniques which aim at widening the space within a chosen articulation. For example, it is possible in one minute a day to relieve disc compression between T6-T7 or even more specifically at the base of the long arm of the left sacroiliac joint. It is possible to create more room in a particular articulation with an exact position adapted to each person."
I quote the desciption by the author without guaranty if the method keeps it promises.
Basically it is some fascial stretching and spine lenghtening inspired by Meziere and active postural stretching (methods well know in the Physiotherapy school of France and Belgium.).
Quite an evolution in regards of classic stretching, but still not sure it is not also deforming the structure by creating a forced spine extension. You can have an example of this method here :
Or searching eldoa (loads in english) on youtube.
"That calms the nerves of white people". Oddest sentence I've read in a while when describing eastern spiritualism. Do white people have different ham strings?
lol im confused on that too Mike…
Great article. However, I don't think any of the other comments brought it up and i don't see it mentioned in the article: what's your opinion on stretching muscles that are not necessarily tight/stiff sore, but simply sore from physical activity? Does your central nervous system use the pain of a sore muscle from lifting weights as the same kind of warning as the pain from a muscle that is stiff or tight?
Cheer's for another great post. I love how you make them think. I work in China atm, and man i want shot people sometime's, maybe that bullet will relax their hamstring actually? well at least give the brain something else to be more concerned about.
Their athletes are in pain, so what do they want, their 'experts' say, must massage harder. The more pain, no problems send them to that big guy he can massage 'harder'. Stretching, do u feel pain? no, ok now? no, ok now? yes – ok that's a good stretch.
I think my name said it (frustrated). I love your reasoning and i like the way you put it simply for the public masses too. And we do see with hamstring, how after some lumbo-pelvic stability exercises or even some mobilizations on the back or SIJ, and it's relaxed. And the patient is like WOW that physio is magical. But no as you said it isn't always tight, simply because of a length issue, there are so many other factor causing that tightness. And we do need to think about this and address this.
Thankyou this helped me. Will it cause problems if I have a sore muscle and I go to the beach and use the muscle?
YES! I you have an issue and your over tax it; it will become a bigger issue, find a good LMT to help you address the issue and understand the physiology of the muscular skeletal system, before you cause more damage.
I find that myofascial release first facilitates the process of pain management, this along with addressing residual trigger points and teaching the clients self care increases healing time. If the client stretches into a location that is restricted with trigger points there is no sense in it.. it will not release and can cause damage to the muscle. Educating the client is the most important part of my job.

Om Malik recent was taking a look at Rojo from a traffic perspective. What he didn't touch on, although he did refer to a previous post, was that the Rojo page was actually a very poor quality splog.

Photo Series: First Carp
Dialing back to late May. An onlooking couple took great interest in the kids' battles with spring carp (which have been detailed here previously). This is a cool camera angle. They took care to email us the images, which I appreciate. They said in parting that they liked the fact that I would only net the fish; would not grab the rod. Wouldn't have been the same had I done as much.
