May I remind everyone the CIA was throw under the bus by V.P. Joe Biden in regards to the Benghazi incident. In addition, it has unfolded the CIA themselves MAY have had information 3 HOURS BEFORE the attack on the Benghazi consulate that an attack was being organized (Source: http://www.therightscoop.com/us-intelli ... g-weapons/). It is also believed that the CIA gave the order to stand down to CIA operatives in the Annex nearby to help the consulate, and as they were later being attacked HOURS later, received no help.

Cycling through the numbers
By Jim Gates
On April 15, 2009, Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers accomplished a baseball feat that has not been seen by fans for many decades as he collected six hits in a 9-inning game and hit for the cycle at the same time. There was no master list showing a cross-referencing of these two achievements, so we created one from scratch. Using a base list provided by Project Retrosheet, we found 286 players who have hit for the cycle since 1882, and only this select group of nine players was able to collect at least 6 hits during the same game:
As shown, Kinsler is the first player since 1889 to go 6-for-6 during a regular 9-inning game and to also hit for the cycle. In fact, only Kinsler and Larry Twitchell have accomplished this exact feat. The others needed extra innings, or took an additional at-bat, to collect their six hits. What the Rangers fans saw on April 15 was truly a rare event.

Serotonin is a chemical produced by nerve cells. The serum serotonin level is a blood test to measure the amount of serotonin in your body.
5-HT level; 5-hydroxytryptamine level; Serotonin test
Blood is most often drawn from a vein. The vein usually used is on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
The procedure is done in the following way:
For infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. Afterward, a bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel slight pain, or only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test may be done to diagnose carcinoid syndrome . Many patients with carcinoid syndrome have high levels of serotonin in blood and urine.
The normal range is 101-283 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher-than-normal level may indicate carcinoid syndrome.
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks may include:

We offer a range of academic services, including fully customized, original model dissertations and theses, single chapters, or proposals.
As I come to the final month of my time at Anna Maria College, I find it almost overwhelming to reflect on my four years here. In 2010 when I was fresh from the classrooms of my high school, I found myself in a new era of my life that I had not adequately prepared for. During my first semester, I struggled to keep up with the increased demand of succeeding and I thought that I may not be able to reach my goals. However, being at such a small institution, I quickly found myself surrounded by the right group of students—both upperclassmen and those in my own class—who showed me how to get the most out of my Anna Maria College experience and turn myself around.
As the years went by, class-by-class, semester-by-semester, I finally reached my senior year. As I sat in my first class as a senior, I looked back and realized how much I had done in what seemed like such a short period of time. Through being an orientation leader alone, I had worked with various freshman classes and saw in a lot of them what I saw in myself when I was in those students' shoes. Some were confused, some were prepared, and some were in-between. I was able to reassure them that even if they didn't know exactly what they wanted to do in life, they had plenty of time, resources and support at AMC to help shape their future.
In addition to learning from my peers, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with various administrators at Anna Maria College. Many have become my mentors, as well as some of the greatest advocates for student success that I know. I remember vividly President Calareso's speech on move-in day in August of 2010. He encouraged us to absorb everything and anything we could while at Anna Maria College. I'm certainly glad I took his advice.
Now, with graduation being merely a blink away, I look to the next phase of my education. I'll be attending the Higher Education Administration graduate program at Merrimack College, where I'll also be part of a fellowship program in the Office of Academic Enrichment. My undergraduate experience at AMC helped shape my intended future and I look forward to making a career out of helping students make their transitions into higher education.
I often remind myself that I more than likely wouldn't have gotten to this point in my life if it wasn't for my experiences, support and growth at AMC. It's amazing how much can change in just four years. Between the friends you make, the ones you lose, the goals you reach, and the new goals you set, the Class of 2014's upcoming commencement is a culmination of what each of us achieved as individuals over these critical last four years.Emergency Translation Toronto
Technovate Translations has made an investment in organizing a team of translators that offer not only an incredible range of language but also an incredible depth of industry knowledge.
This week's blog showcases an interview with Sarah Collins, a senior and Music Education Major at AMC. Sarah is very active on campus and is the President of the Music Education Club, Publicist and Pit Director for the Zecconian Players and a former SGA Senator for the School of Visual and Performing Arts
Here's what Sarah had to say:
Why did you choose AMC?
When I was in high school looking for colleges, my band director suggested AMC because of its strong music program. He got me in touch with the band director at the time and we really hit it off. I came for my audition for the music program and met many of the professors and knew it was the right fit for me.
What did you like about AMC when looking into this school?
One of the best aspects of AMC is that it's a small school where you're not a number, but you're a person. During my time here at AMC, I have been able to get specialized help on various subjects due to small classes and professor availability. I also like that when I came for my audition, the professors and students alike wanted to get to know me and came right up and introduced themselves. Once I officially decided to come to AMC and when I came back, the professors and students remembered me. That's what's important to me.
What are your favorite aspects about this school?
One thing that I really like about this school is how involved the students are with the Student Government Association (SGA) and all the clubs we have on campus. I have been a very active member of the SGA and have worked with various people around campus to make this school the best it can be.
Recently, the school redesigned the library and we now have an Information Commons above the library to study and use the computers and printers. It has been a great addition to this school to give us more opportunity to study and do homework.
Anna Maria College is a great choice for continuing your education. It offers a variety of majors within six different academic schools: Business, Fire and Health Sciences, Justice and Social Sciences, Education, Humanities, and Visual and Performing Arts. The class sizes are small so you are able to get to know your professors and receive more individualized attention.
Anna Maria College also offers 17 Men's and Women's athletic teams and a diverse group of clubs one can join. More importantly, students go to college to further their education and to gain the knowledge and experience to start a career. AMC has the programs and resources to assist students successfully enter the workforce. The College also has a Fifth year option for students to obtain their master's degree.
Another positive is Anna Maria College's affiliation with the Higher Education Collaborative of Central Massachusetts. This organization allows students to take classes at 11 other schools for no additional cost, which means you can take a class of interest to you that might not be offered at AMC.
Finally, AMC is a great choice because you will get a great education and it will set you up for a successful career.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
As a Certified Nursing Assistant I have always been ordered to not take blood pressures, no finger sticks, no blood draws on the arm of a patient that has had a mastectomy. I can understand not doing it for a certain amount of time, to allow time for healing. However, is that for the rest of the patients life, or is there a set time after the surgery that the arm may be used? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Lora Packel MS, PT, Coordinator of Cancer Therapy Services for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Many women have their axillary (arm pit) lymph nodes removed when having a mastectomy. Lymph nodes help drain fluid and other cells out of the arm. When a patient has lymph nodes removed, they have fewer "drainage pipes" or pathways for fluid to move out of the arm. This may result in a back up of fluid, which is called lymphedema. Edema means swelling and lymph is the fluid drained through the lymph nodes.
We ask that patients avoid blood pressures, IV's and fingersticks for blood sugar on the side of their surgery for their lifetime. This is to reduce the risk of injury or inflammation to that arm. The body's natural response to injury is to send fluid and infection fighting cells to the area. This results in more fluid in an arm that has fewer "drainage pipes," and MAY result in swelling.
There may be times where an IV is needed in the arm. There is no evidence to state that an IV will cause lymphedema, so we counsel patients to avoid it if at all possible. If there is an emergency, then the risks of lymphedema need to be weighed against the benefit of putting an IV in an "at risk" arm.
Please refer to the other sections on OncoLink which discuss lymphedema in more detail. Also, the National Lymphedema Network has 18 steps to prevention that will detail the precautions we recommend.
May 3, 2011 - Secondhand smoke exposure among boys, but not girls, appears to be associated with elevated systolic blood pressure, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies, held from April 30 to May 3 in Denver.

Like the Florida League, Leagues across the country are seeking solutions to the issue of redistricting and gerrymandered Congressional districts.
In addition to the work the League does to defend the environment at the national level, in 2009 members came together to develop the League's Climate Change Task Force. Local and state Leagues are also committed to addressing the specific environmental concerns that arise in their communities.
A new law in Illinois allows 17-years-olds to vote in the primary election if they'll be 18 in time for the November general election. Following passage of the law, the League of Women Voters of Greater Rockford registered 304 new young voters!
I am currently a college sophomore interning at the League of Women Voters' national office in Washington, D.C. Many people in the office were surprised to learn that this is not my first time working with the League.

Happy Birthday, Gene Simmons!!!
Sunday, August 25, 2013
Happy Birthday to Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons, who turns 64 on today (August 25th). Although acting was an early side interest for Simmons, the bassist has branched off and become a world renowned entrepreneur, marketing himself along with the Kiss brand all over the planet. Most recently, he, wife Shannon Tweed, and their two children Nick and Sophie, were the stars on the now-canceled A&E reality series Gene Simmons' Family Jewels.
It was announced last week that Simmons and Paul Stanley are among the owners of the new Arena Football League expansion team, the L.A. Kiss. The Kiss co-founders appeared at a press conference on August 15th announcing the team-up, which will find the newly endorsed team play at Anaheim's Honda Center starting next March. The L.A. Kiss will be Southern California's first AFL team since April 2009 when the L.A. Avengers called it a day after eight seasons at the Staples Center. The L.A. Kiss, which has the Kiss logo on its helmets, opened its season on August 17th with a game against the Philadelphia Soul -- which was originally partially owned by Jon Bon Jovi and Ritchie Sambora.
Last October, Kiss released its 20th album, Monster. The collection, which peaked at Number Three on the Billboard 200 album charts, is the Kiss' first original studio set since 2009's Sonic Boom, is the second to feature their latest lineup of Gene Simmons on bass, Paul Stanley on rhythm guitar, Eric Singer on drums, and lead guitarist Tommy Thayer. Also, like Sonic Boom, Monster features no songs from outside writers.
Gene Simmons, who was born Chaim Weitz in Tirat HaCarmel, Israel, the son of a Hungarian Nazi concentration camp survivor, told us that spending his early years in Israel hardened him for life: "Israel teaches you a sort of a different reality. Christians keep talking about this all the time, this notion of 'turn the other cheek.' Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but it doesn't work. Jews tried it in World War II -- it didn't work out very well. Turning the other cheek doesn't work for anyone except the guy that's slapping you in the face. When you grow up in Israel, you quickly learn that talking is nice, but if somebody picks on you, you gotta take 'em out."
Coming on 40 years after the band's 1975 breakthrough album Alive!, Kiss is still on the road selling out on a global scale. Simmons recalled that at the time, the band's label Casablanca was completely against the album being released -- for fear it would bankrupt them: "We were on our last legs, Casablanca was gonna go belly-up. We didn't get paid for the album -- in fact, when we told the record company we were gonna do a live record, they didn't want to do that, because live records didn't work. In those days, a live album was a liability. You did that after your career was over."
A while back we caught up with Paul Stanley and asked him how he feels about Simmons' high profile persona apart from the band. Stanley explained that Simmons is free to do whatever he likes -- as long as it doesn't negatively impact Kiss: "I think Gene has earned the right to do whatever he wants to. Gene certainly in all venues has the freedom and the right to do whatever he chooses, as long as it doesn't directly impact on anything that he's only part of. He's come away unscathed 'til now."
Gene Simmons told us that he's as proud as ever of Kiss' ever-evolving live show: "I want to be able to enjoy a movie -- even when the sound is turned down. And in that way, Kiss has something in common with modern pop culture; and that is to say, you can be deaf and you can be blown away by Kiss live. But I would also like to think that you could be blind and blown away by Kiss live. It is audio-visual assault -- with a little bit of pepper."
Kiss wrapped its North American dates on August 18th in Hollywood, Florida. The band will kick off its four-night mini-tour of Japan on October 19th in Tokyo.

Wow! Thanks for all of the feedback. We didn't know these would be so popular. To answer questions about being able to purchase these alignment rods, they are not for sale and we only had a limited number of them made for Team Titleist giveaways.
Seeing all of the posts, maybe we'll do another second chance sweeps. Stay tuned!
I need some
Nice was planning on getting some alignment sticks from the depot but these would be fancy!
Lucky to be one of the 5 lucky winners. How long will it be until they arrive? Also out of curiosity how much do you think these bad boys are worth?
They look awesome, where can I get one? I would buy it if I had too, great Christmas gifts.
Need some news rods. I bought the cheap Home Depot driveway rods and they are starting to bend after a season of wear and tear. I'd proudly pimp these on my range.
These will help with the work this winter season, Thanks Team Titleist
These look awesome, I can't wait to have a pair in my new Staff Bag.
Mike + TT!
The weather here in the North-East dictates range practice only but this gives me plenty of time to work on ball position.
Thanks for the alignment rods Mike! Here aligned to NYC.

In "The Minority Report" Anderton is fat, old and balding. He is a typical Dickian protagonist in that he is half-incompetent and unsure of himself. In the film he is played by Tom Cruise and is a superhuman (though, to be fair, he is a divorced drug addict).
In the short story two of the pre-cogs think Anderton will kill a General and one of them (the minority report) says that he will not; the fact that there is a minority report and that Anderton hears about the reports that drive the story. In Minority Report there is no actual minority report, the pre-cogs agree on what Anderton will do. The film is about the pre-cogs and pre-crime (or, rather, pre-muder) but they are not integral to the plot.
In the Dick version the minority report is explained and Anderton kills the General, realizing that he must. Pre-crime is affirmed, even in such complicated situations. In Spielberg's version Anderton says, no, I have free will, I don't have to kill you. The pre-cogs don't actually see the future and pre-crime is a bad thing. His boss commits suicide and the system is shut down.
Spielberg, et al took ideas from the source material and then attacked the premises and conclusions.
I haven't seen it recently enough to remember what Stromare did but I will admit that the movie looked stylish and cool and that the computers and optical recognition systems were fantastic (though, again, because Spielberg is who he is there was no actual bite to the ads because they were real; actual businesses paid money to look futuristic and cool).
I think Spielberg is a great technician, he is exceptionally proficient at what he does. I just hate what he does, what he wishes to present, the messages he wishes to share and promote.

Abbott Sofa
Great couch, great look, extremely comfy and I'm very picky about comfy couches!
The title above says it all. I am soooo very thrilled with this sofa. The price was low enough to make me wonder if it was going to be good quality, but it is! Thank you, WM!!
November 20, 2013
Very Pleased!
We have had our sofa for about 2 weeks now and couldn't be happier! It sits great and is so very comfortable. The charcoal gray is great and goes with everything so nicely. I was slightly skeptical ordering online and never seeing the product in person but I trusted other reviews and went with my gut and I'm glad I did!
November 26, 2013
Great couch for under $1000
I waited for a long time for this sofa and I am not disappointed. The sofa was delivered in a HUGE box- it comes almost completely assembled, all you have to do it screw on the feet and attach the chaise. It fit into my apartment's elevator with 1/4 of an inch to spare so keep that in mind when ordering. The couch is very comfortable and looks great in my living room but it is also not very heavy (90lbs I think) and easily moves around the hardwood floor when I am trying to get comfortable. I think with a rug this wouldn't be a problem. The arms are not very padded and are not comfortable to lean up against. The pillows cannot be flipped- they are rounded off and are springy inside which makes them comfy and bouncy; when you flip them the pillow it is hard and flat and not comfortable at all. I looked around for a while at a lot of different stores for a small grey sectional and this one I believe is the best for comfort and price! It gets a lot of complements and looks great with some bright pillows thrown on it.
September 1, 2013
Comfortable, elegant and nice
This sofa is very nice. It is beautiful and the fabric is great. I don't believe you can flip the cushions because the cushions are already "flattened" on one side. One concern of mine is that the cushions might flatten rather quickly. The stitching is beautiful, but the same color as the fabric so not completely visible unless you are looking up close. I love that the chaise is reversible. The ends of the sofa are the perfect height.. not too high or low, but the fact that they are "squared off" makes them kind of hard to lean against for long periods of time. This is the main couch in my living room and I wouldn't replace it for the world.
August 30, 2013
Attractive / Comfortable Budget Sofa
I would give it a 3.5 rating if I could; the value is above average for what it costs. It delivers a compromise of attractiveness (sleek/not garish or frumpy), comfort and affordability. I went to the store to see the slipcover sofa, but liked this one better. The upholstery feels that it will hold up well. The cushions are deep and springy, making me think they will compress over time. Build quality is slightly better than you'd expect from a budget couch. They use sinuous springs. Several frame pieces are made of solid wood (not very substantial though), but many are made of plywood too. Because of this, the frame flexes more than a mid-range couch would when lugging it around, but when sitting it isn't noticeable. The only minor manufacturing flaw (a staple not all the way into the frame) was easily remedied. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase, just keep in mind it is 1/3rd the price of a "mid-range" sofa.
November 5, 2013
Abbott Sofa
Unfortunately, I am not pleased with the Abbott Sofa. Though the color is nice, the quality just seemed a bit incomplete.

L-R: Jens Elsborg and Soren Jorgensen of Nordic Rentals A/S |
ELKHART, IN - June 6, 2005 -- Nordic Rentals A/S has recently purchased 36 Crown I-Tech I-T4000 amplifiers. The amps will primarily be used in a fully digital monitor setup with a Yamaha PM5. Nordic Rentals A/S is one of Denmark's leading rental and production companies. Technical Director of Nordic Rentals, Jens Elsborg, comments on choosing the the I-T4000: "The I-Tech Series from Crown is an ideal choice for us as monitor amp for several reasons. Most important is of course the sonic superiority of the Crown Class-I switchmode and PFC technology that makes I-Tech sound better than any other amplifier on the market. The on-board DSP-pack has a lot of nice features, is very easy to use, eliminates the need for external controllers and simplifies the wiring considerably. And the reduced weight makes handling easier for everybody! Furthermore, with digital inputs and TCP/IP networking capabilities, the I-Tech amps are ready for other future applications." The I-T4000s are already in use and will be heard at many large rock events during the summer of 2005, including Zulu Rock, Skive Beach Party, Rock Under Broen and Giants Of Rock 2005.

FA interviews Mark Clattenburg over 'inappropriate language'
Friday 09 November 2012
The Football Association interviewed Mark Clattenburg yesterday in its investigation into allegations by Chelsea that the referee used inappropriate language towards their midfielder John Obi Mikel during the game against Manchester United on 28 October.
Clattenburg's assistant referees, Michael McDonough and Simon Long, and the fourth official Michael Jones were also interviewed and the FA is expected to make a decision early next week on whether he will be charged with improper conduct or there is no case for him to answer. Clattenburg will not officiate at a game this weekend.

OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) -- A man was being questioned in the deaths of three people on an eastern Kansas farm after he and a car belonging to a missing woman were found in a town less than an hour away.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office says a car in which 22-year-old Kaylie Bailey and her 18-month-old daughter were last seen was located Tuesday night in Emporia but they were still missing. The sheriff didn't say whether the person of interest, who also was found in Emporia, was in the car when he was taken in for questioning.
The sheriff's office says the bodies of two people were found Monday and a third was found Tuesday morning on a farm outside of Ottawa, about 60 miles south of Kansas City.

This is Part Two of this week's Previews & Predictions feature. Also check out Part One.
Miami Hurricanes (2-1) (1-0)) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (2-1) (0-1): Beyond the emergence of freshman Duke Johnson, the Hurricanes' season has gone poorly to this point, despite their two wins. And Saturday's contest with Georgia Tech may make things worse. Through three games, the 'Canes have allowed 617 yards on the ground (an average of over 205 per game). Conversely, the Yellow Jackets have averaged 374 rushing yards per game, in three contests of their own. Given the versatility of their weapons, Tech has a real fundamental advantage against Miami, and will exploit it continuously throughout the game. Prediction: Georgia Tech 45, Miami 24
East Carolina Pirates (2-1) at North Carolina Tar Heels (1-2) (0-1): ECU comes in as a much-improved team on defense, though their offense (a trademark in 2011) appears to be struggling to find a rhythm. And UNC can likely say the same. After their strong start to the year, the Heels have dropped a big game to Wake Forest, and fell way behind Louisville last weekend, before coming back to make it a close contest. Yes, star back Giovani Bernard is out, but that can't be an excuse for Larry Fedora and QB Bryn Renner. Renner has targets on the field — something the ball carrier doesn't much change. Prediction: UNC 40, ECU 26
Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs (0-3) at Pittsburgh Panthers (1-2): Has Pitt gotten their groove back? Surprisingly taking on an impact role as a leader, beleagured QB Tino Sunseri had a breakout game last week in the Panthers upset over Virginia Tech. What's more, not only did veteran back Ray Graham finally seem like his old self, but it also paved the way for freshman Rushel Shell to explode onto the scene. They sure looked like the Pitt team we thought we'd be watching in the preseason. But was it an anomaly, or are they now finally figuring out Paul Chryst's schemes? This game could at least give us some indication about which Panthers squad we'll see for the rest of 2012. Prediction: Pitt 42, Gardner-Webb 15
Memphis Tigers (0-3) at Duke Blue Devils (2-1) (0-0): Memphis may be the worst team in the FBS, which is why they're a perfect fit for the Big East (HEY-O!). But in all seriousness, after allowing nearly 34 points per game in three contests versus Sun Belt and FCS competition, their chances to defeat Duke aren't looking great. Stanford implosion aside, this Duke team has shown a higher-than-average ability to put up points, while guiding their attack mostly through the air. The Tigers, coincidentally, allow nearly 250 passing yards per game. This is an ugly matchup. Prediction: Duke 45, Memphis 21
The Citadel Bulldogs (3-0) at NC State Wolfpack (2-1) (0-0): The Citadel is ranked at the FCS level, and has run through opponents by over 20 points per game. So far in 2012, NC State has struggled to score 21 points per game, and their playmakers — most notably Mike Glennon — have been complete no-shows. While the Pack are on a two-game winning streak, neither W has been all that impressive, and the Citadel appears hungry. They'll get a scare put into them, but ultimately, the State defense takes over when they're needed most. Prediction: NC State 27, The Citadel 21
Syracuse Orange (1-2) at Minnesota Golden Gopher (3-0): Syracuse will play its third game against BCS-conference competition this year, yet has not played a league game. The aggressive scheduling — mostly unavoidable — may serve them well for the rest of the year, starting with a Golden Gophers team whose resume doesn't hold up to other undefeated squads. Without starting QB MarQueis Gray, Minnesota must find a way to execute, despite losing its top passer and second-leading rusher. The Syracuse defense may celebrate the blow to the run game (words cannot describe how terrible the SU rushing D really is), but pocket-passing sub Max Shortell has shown he can make key throws in past action. If they can contain the big play, and then let the Orange offense do its thing, 'Cuse should be alright. Prediction: Syracuse 38, Minnesota 32
Last Week: 9-2; 2012 Season: 27-9

Eurozone consumer sentiment 'most bullish' since 2011
Business leaders and households in the eurozone are in their most bullish mood for more than two years, buoying hopes for UK exporters in their biggest market.
The European Commission's index of consumer and business sentiment rose to 101.2 for February, the highest since July 2011 and defying expectations of a decline.
The improvement — consistent with 0.3 per cent growth in the current quarter — could prompt the European Central Bank to hold fire on interest rate cuts despite low inflation, analysts said.
ING Bank's Martin van Vliet said recent turmoil in emerging markets had not dampened eurozone sentiment.

"When we were considering starting our own firm, half of our friends said we were brave and smart. The other half thought we were incredibly stupid."
"We do everything we can to insert ourselves in to these projects. We approach every single project with the same kind of enthusiasm, and that works for us."
"[As a new practitioner], no matter what, you have to start paying yourself right away."
in situ studio raleigh, n.c. www.insitustudio.us
Launching an architecture firm in the depths of a recession is not for the faint of heart. But that's what Erin Sterling Lewis, AIA, LEED AP, and Matthew Henning Griffith, AIA, did when they founded in situ studio in 2010. Their optimism and knack for doing a lot with a little proved a winning combination for the times. "Our motto is, we don't say no to anything," Sterling Lewis says. "This is not a hobby practice for us; we both have families." Alumni of the Raleigh-based firm Frank Harmon Architect, the partners bring big-league talent and rookie enthusiasm to even the most modest projects. "We've never liked the idea that you can only design houses that you could never afford," says Sterling Lewis. "We'd like everyone to be able to afford good design." The partners point with pride to a new green custom home the firm brought in (with some owner sweat equity) at $115 per square foot.
Public and commercial projects draw the firm's interest as well, notes Griffith, who finds time to teach design studio at the North Carolina State University School of Architecture. But residential work remains the primary focus for now. "It's really appropriate to start a practice on," Sterling Lewis says. "We've learned so much so fast that we don't want to transition out of that very quickly."

Advanced Symbolic and Numeric Techniques for Machine Vibration Analysis
- Wednesday, 19 March 2014
- Maplesoft
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
The operational reliability of a rotary equipment train is dependent on the vibration of its components. Often, the only evidence of this vibration is gear noise or coupling wear. However, these early indicators might eventually develop into high-amplitude vibration, resulting in gear wear, gear tooth failures, or broken shafts. The torsional response characteristics of rotating and reciprocating equipment should therefore be analyzed and evaluated to ensure system reliability.
In vibration analysis of mechanical structures, it has become increasingly common to use lumped mass models combined with experimental measurements for vibration analysis. This approach can be expanded to develop more sophisticated models to allow the creation of a highly refined, realistic vibration analysis environment. This article illustrates this method using the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform MapleSim™, from Maplesoft.

Happy Birthday, Paul McCartney!!!
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Happy Birthday to Paul McCartney, who turns 71 years old today (June 18th). To date, McCartney is the most successful songwriter in history, having written or co-written 30 U.S. Number One hits. McCartney met his original songwriting partner John Lennon on July 6th, 1957 at a church social where Lennon was performing. After joining Lennon's band, the Quarrymen, McCartney persuaded Lennon to add his friend George Harrison in 1958, and the seeds of the Beatles were born. Ringo Starr joined the group in 1962.
Over 50 years since starting his musical career, and having written some of the most beloved music of the 20th century, McCartney is still unable to read or write a note of music: "I can think songs up, I can think arrangements, I can structure things, but I can't physically write stuff down on a page. I always had a kind of dyslexia when I was a kid. I was taking piano lessons -- I took them at a few points in me life. Whenever I did, it always seemed boring, it always seemed like homework -- I don't wanna put any students off who are learning properly. I always had great difficulties with it."
McCartney is currently working on his first new original album since 2007's Memory Almost Full, and admits that his past figures in quite heavily when working up new material: "Y'know, you reference most things you do either to, 'Would that work with the Beatles? Would this be a good Wings song? Would John (Lennon) like this?' Y'know, 'What would George play on this?' -- and stuff. I think you do that. I often think of John."
Out now is McCartney's deluxe and expanded version of Wings' 1976 triple-album live set, Wings Over America. Also newly released is the album's 1980 accompanying concert film, Rockshow. The reissue follows the 2012 Grammy Award-winning deluxe version of his second solo album 1971's Ram. In 2011, the "McCartney Archive Collection" saw the release of both of McCartney's legendary "one-man-band" solo sets -- 1970's McCartney and 1980's and McCartney II, which followed 2010's inaugural reissue of Wings' 1973 set, Band On The Run. McCartney's last studio album was the 2012 primarily standards set, Kisses On The Bottom, which snagged the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album earlier this year.
McCartney married photographer Linda Eastman in 1969 and they had four children -- Mary, Stella and James -- and McCartney adopted Linda's daughter Heather from her previous marriage.
After the Beatles' breakup in 1971, the pair formed the solo group Wings in 1971, which scored a number of Top Ten hits, including the Number Ones "My Love," "Band On The Run," "Listen To What the Man Said," "Silly Love Songs," "With A Little Luck," and "Coming Up." McCartney disbanded the group in 1981.
After Linda McCartney's death from cancer in 1998, McCartney married Heather Mills in 2002. A daughter, Beatrice Milly followed in 2003. The couple divorced in 2008 with Mills receiving a $48.6 payout from McCartney. On what would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday -- October 9th, 2011 -- McCartney walked down the isle for a third time with his girlfriend of four years, 51-year-old New York socialite, Nancy Shevell.
Last year, McCartney released the pop-jazz collection, Kisses On The Bottom, which peaked at Number Five. McCartney told us that it was nice to work outside the confines of the rock world, which can seem to be pretty cut and dried once you hit the studio: "So it was nice, it was a good way to work. There was no preconceived ideas and I think we all feel like we contributed. And then we'd throw John Pizzarelli or one of the guys the solo; 'Hey John, you wanna take a solo?' -- and y'know, you can do that in the jazz world, 'cause they're used to doing that -- and they just go, 'Yeah, OK' and they take a solo.' And so nobody's ever heard that solo before. It was really, really nice. I think it comes over a bit on the album, the freshness. I hope it does, anyway."
McCartney has often said that his main objective in life is to enjoy himself: "The other thing is, y'know, I do like what I do. It's not really hard work for me. I love to paint. I love to write poetry. I love to make music. I mean, even talking to you is not a pressure (laughs)." )

Faculty Notes
"Faculty members bring a great deal of personal experience and a wealth of personal interests into their classrooms. That is reflected clearly in these pages. Our students are the direct beneficiaries through exposure to the research and scholarly activities of their instructors and how those activities improve the instructor's knowledge and understanding of a subject area. That is why scholarship is one of the traditional pillars of an academician's life (along with teaching and service). Whether one believes that scholarship informs teaching or vice versa, in reality both are true, and both ultimately fulfill the highest mission of the University. Anyone who teaches recognizes that lifelong learning is not a slogan but an integral part of professional excellence."

One might begin a Will Bruder profile with some seminal event from the Phoenix architect's long and rich career, but how would one choose? There's the 11-year-old kid in 1957, sneaking onto the Milwaukee construction site of Frank Lloyd Wright's Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. There's the college student presenting himself at the door of an up-and-coming modernist architect named William Wenzler, who asks, "Do you want to start today or come back tomorrow?" There's the summer of 1967 at Paolo Soleri's Cosanti Studio, spent casting concrete vaults in the desert heat; the move from the Midwest to Phoenix; or the self-described "outsider" winning the coveted Rome Prize and returning to design his adopted home city's most emblematic civic structure. The fact is, Bruder has had several lifetimes' worth of architectural peak experiences, and he has forged them into a body of work as varied as it is prolific, as rooted in its place and time as it is universal.
Not bad, for a guy who never attended architecture school.
Bruder's first shot at college was a full scholarship to study automotive design at the General Motors Institute. "But by Christmas [of freshman year]," he remembers, "I was already thinking that this wasn't the life that I wanted. So I went to the library, and I started reading books on architects." His home state of Wisconsin had no school of architecture, so he applied to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), where he was accepted for the fall of 1965. But by then he was already working for Wenzler's firm, an all-star team that included a brilliant chief draftsman named Michael P. Johnson, who took Bruder under his wing. "It was as good a place as I could have arrived at on the planet," Bruder remembers. Wenzler's hemicycle-plan Nickoll Residence would appear in Life magazine later that year. Not about to forgo that kind of excitement, the new apprentice gave up his spot at IIT and enrolled at the nearby University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee in fine arts.
"My only degree is in sculpture," Bruder says. But at Milwaukee, he also studied structures, urban planning, architectural history, and philosophy. All the while, he adds, "I was working 40 hours a week in this hot office." The combination of hands-on work and omnivorous self-directed study would become a central theme in Bruder's career. After hearing Soleri lecture in Milwaukee, he spent six weeks of his 1967 summer break at the architect's Arizona studio, absorbing Soleri's vision of, as Bruder recalls, "the ordinary becoming the extraordinary."

Neither the desert nor the vision would ever loosen its hold. Bruder returned the following year for an eight-month apprenticeship spent casting concrete domes on plaster-of-Paris forms, producing graphics for Soleri's next book, and drawing the never-built ¾-mile-high planned city 3D Jersey. "My whole grounding in materiality, beyond my sculpture background, comes from Soleri," says Bruder, "a guy who wasn't doing it in the normal way." After earning his degree, Bruder joined the Detroit-area firm Gunnar Birkerts and Associates. But Arizona, as a place and an idea, called him back. He returned in 1970 and, although he has traveled and taught widely, Phoenix has been his home ever since.
Neither the baking backwater of pre–air conditioning days nor the sprawling Broadacre City of today, Phoenix in the 1970s was a place of expanding horizons. Newcomers found at the city's edges "a surreal natural landscape," Bruder remembers. "They were open to re-evaluating everything, and architects were able to be a part of people's change in coming here." His clients were "open, curious ... looking for something." Bruder matched that attitude with his own boundless curiosity, and a conviction that what they were seeking could be captured. He moonlighted designing patio projects and remodels until he could sit for the licensing exam, but he imbued even such small projects with a sense of importance, of being architecture.
The raw material of this early work was mid-century modern houses in cul-de-sac neighborhoods. Soon, though, he moved on to new houses on large lots, where the immediate context consisted only of the desert landscape. Unlike Tucson to the south, Phoenix had little in the way of Southwest vernacular architecture. Finding the local soil unsuitable for making bricks, early migrants from the Midwest built with wood. "And the dry desert heat is brutal to wood," explains Bruder, who based his own palette on vernacular materials more suited to the climate: concrete block and corrugated metal.
Bruder was getting his hands dirty, often serving as both general contractor and architect, and he drew recognition almost from the start. The Galloway Cabin, begun in 1974, the year he hung out his shingle, won a National Plywood Association Award in a competition juried by Paul Rudolph. Bruder's own house, built in four weeks in 1977, was published in Architectural Record's Record Homes issue along with one by John Lautner, one of Bruder's longtime heroes.

'Justice delayed is justice denied,' – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The five men whose convictions in the brutal 1989 beating and rape of a female jogger in Central Park were later overturned have agreed to a settlement of about $40 million from New York City to resolve a bitterly fought civil rights lawsuit over their arrests and imprisonment in the sensational crime.

Editor's note: Lawrence R. Jacobs is professor and director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance in the Hubert H. Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota.
(CNN) -- By now, we're on the same page that Mitt Romney's pick of Paul Ryan as his running mate contradicts a golden oldie of presidential election strategy -- run to the conservative (or liberal) base to win the nomination and then reposition toward the center to lure the more moderate independent swing voters who are necessary to win the general election.
Ryan may be many things -- energetic, charismatic and geeky -- but no one familiar with his Full Monty conservative budgets would describe his selection as remotely moving to the center. Just the opposite -- Romney has doubled down on his move to the right during the primary battle.
What gives? Did the looming prospect of defeat push Romney into a desperate gamble?
Give Romney some credit. He's made a shrewd move.
The Ryan choice adopts a strategy premised on supermobilizing the base and luring a smidgeon of others. Put on your thinking caps and grab an abacus, here are the numbers that could put Romney in the White House.
Conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1 (40% to 21%).
Rage against Obama has the GOP ready to walk over red hot coals to cast a ballot. A mainstay of Gallup's measure for determining who is likely to vote -- whether survey respondents are thinking a lot about the election -- shows not only that Republicans are more attentive than Democrats by 13 points but also more fired up than in recent presidential elections.
To make sure they harvest the Ryan enthusiasts, the Romney campaign appears to be assembling an impressive operation to turn out the vote and to aggressively compete with the Obama team for the early vote.
What makes the Romney mobilization particularly threatening to Obama is that it targets his biggest challenge -- polls consistently show him ahead but there are ominous signs that a decisive group of those supporters won't actually cast a ballot.
Even with Obama's pro-immigration shift and the growing number of Latinos in competitive states, their actual turnout may flag from their record numbers in 2008. Less than half of Hispanics eligible to vote are registering and only 64% of Hispanics say they will definitely vote as compared to their 77% response in 2008 and the national average of 78% today.
Ditto on youth. The percentage of voters 18 to 29 who say they will definitely vote in November (58%) is currently running 20 points or more behind the national average today (78%) or the youth turnout in 2008 (78%) or 2004 (81%).
Blue collar voters -- never drawn to Obama (think Hillary Clinton in 2008 Democratic primaries) -- may desert him in numbers that approach the "Reagan Democrat" defections in 1980. This possible weakness in the Democratic coalition coincides with a bit more slippage among Obama's 2008 supporters (9%) than among McCain voters who won't vote GOP in November (5%).
Bottom line: By picking the bona fide conservative Ryan, the Republican base is likely to deliver a rapturous response, which may allow Romney to succeed in exploiting Obama's greatest weakness at this point.
Before you conclude this is far-fetched, think back to Karl Rove's strategy in 2004 to move right with strident social conservatism on abortion and same-sex marriage, steep tax cuts and hawkish policies in Afghanistan and Iraq. Embracing the base and scorning the rush to the middle cost George W. Bush the independent vote. But Bush also supercharged conservatives and Republicans, who turned out in droves. Refuting the conventional wisdom that Democrats do best in high-turnout elections, it was Bush who most benefited from the 16% jump in the total vote.
But -- there's always a but.
Even as Ryan fires up conservatives, he may also mobilize votes for Obama -- including senior citizens who reside in key swing states like Florida. Alarmed by his draconian proposals to remake Medicare, they may boost their support of Obama.
Another potential risk: A good number of voters may be primed to punish the incumbent for poor economic times. Pluralities of Ohio and Florida independents report that Obama's re-election would hurt their personal financial situation. But the coming hullabaloo over Ryan's budget proposals may distract the economically pained from punishing Obama.
All in all, Romney has a tough battle ahead -- even stringent counts of Electoral College votes based on polls show Obama within striking distance of winning. But using Ryan to ignite the Republican base is probably Romney's most plausible path to prevailing. And, it may produce a campaign focused a bit more on policy than on birth certificates, service records and the other side issues of recent elections. Strap in, folks, 2012 may be much more interesting and close than we'd imagined.

I Love... Lil Wayne badge available in multiple sizes.
We will add the above design onto a standard button badge (size of your choosing) to create your very own button badge. All button badges are made specifically for each order and we are happy to accept orders for any amount of button badges, whether it is for 1 button badge or many thousands!
Once you order your button badge you will be emailed confirmation of your order and you will be notified for at each stage of your badge order, including when your button badges have been dispached.
Most button badge orders can be dispached within 24 hours to ensure that you benefit from a prompt delivery service.
All of our button badges are handmade 'in house' and are fully inspected for both quality and safety. Our button badges are the most popular badges on the internet and are available in many sizes. If you require a bulk amount of this or any of our badges please do contact us for a reduced price option.
Most of our badges are available in a range of sizes to suite. Presently we offer:
- 25mm Button Badges
These badges are 25mm in diameter (from edge to edge via the centre).
- 38mm Badges
These badges are 38mm in diameter (from edge to edge via the centre). - 50mm Badges
These badges are 50mm in diameter (from edge to edge via the centre).
- 59mm Badges
These badges are 59mm in diameter (from edge to edge via the centre).
- 75mm Badges
These badges are 75mm in diameter (from edge to edge via the centre).
When ordering your badge you should consider what is going on the badge and how it may look at that given size. For instance a photograph is not very good on a 25mm badge simply as it is small. The more text the bigger badge you should consider.
Please note that all of our badges are made exactly to order so customers are responsible for ensuring that they order the correct size. Once the badges are made we cannot amend any order or offer refunds. If you order the wrong size please contact us as soon as possible in case your badges have not yet been made - in which case we can update the order for you.
Our button badges come with a standard pin back at no extra charge. This allows for the pin badges to be added onto clothes, jackets, bags and anything else that a pin will go through!
If you do not wish to have a pin back badge then you can choose another type of backing such as fridge magnet, clothing magnet or even a rosette.
Please note that if you are ordering a pin back badge you should be conscious that pins can be dangerous and should not be purchased for children, unless you are sure that is safe to do so. In any case, we strongly advise against giving any badges to small children as badges are made of several components and can, if tampered with or put under pressure, come apart and become chocking hazards.
Not everyone wishes to attach their chosen design to clothing, that's why we offer to select a fridge magnet backing instead.
A fridge magnet allows for you to attach your chosen badge to any flat metalic object, such as a fridge or microwave etc.
Our clothing magnet option allows for you to attach your badge to clothes using magnet, so as to save you having to pin the badge to your clothes.
The badge has a magnet built into it and we provide you with an extra magnet to put behind your clothes. This is and ideal way to remove the risk of a pin causing damage to your clothes.
Needless to say that a magnet is not strong enough to hold a badge on for children or those who are very active. It is intended for light use on the thinner items of clothing, such as t-shirts, shirts etc.
Furthermore, a clothing magnet would be considered a choking hazard and should not be given to young children.
This option is not available with 75mm badges.

Credit: Lawrence Jackson
Following the release this week of a National Climate Assessment that asserts that negative effects of human-induced climate change are already widely affecting life across the United States, this morning President Barack Obama announced new executive actions that should lead to $2 billion in energy efficiency investments, smarter appliances, and training programs to grow the U.S. solar industry by 50,000 workers by 2020. The president also announced more than 300 private and public sector commitments to promote energy efficiency and grow the solar industry by 850 megawatts of deployed solar capacity. This solar capacity would generate enough power to support 130,000 homes, according to a release from the White House.
Among the federal initiatives announced by President Obama are:
The building industry is pledging help to reach the president's goals and promote energy efficiency and solar capacity. Among the private initiatives announced by the home building industry are:
In addition, 25 new states, cities, school districts, retailers, and multifamily housing, food service, hospitality, and manufacturing organizations are joining the Better Building Challenge, with a commitment to improve the energy efficiency of more than 1 billion square feet of space (the size of 17,000 football fields) by at least 20 percent by 2020. Twenty existing Better Building Challenge participants also have agreed to address water efficiency, and seven new financial organizations have also joined the Better Buildings Challenge and committed a total of $377.5 million to develop financing solutions and products to help promote energy efficiency upgrades in multifamily developments.

MARICOPA, Ariz. -- The Maricopa home with 20,000 lights is by far the brightest holiday house on the block, but it's actually the neighbor's home generating all the titillating talk.
Next to the house with the luminous litany of twinkling joy sits a home with simply a single green and red lighted sign:
"I go to the bank and they're like, 'Oh, you're the ditto girl,' said Kristina Green, whose home hosts the "ditto" sign pointing to her neighbor's lighted Christmas kingdom.
This is Green's first holiday season in the Maricopa home. She knew she couldn't compete with her neighbor's overwhelming Christmas display and her response is generating plenty of buzz.
"I told him, 'Besides, what are we going to put up compared to what you have?"' Green said, replaying a conversation she had with her neighbor when he told her about his extravagant yearly yard display. "There's no comparison, you can't keep up with 'the Joneses' on this one."
"The Joneses," in this instance, are actually the Cyrs. Eric Cyr started putting up just a few lights lining the roof back in 2010. It grew by thousands of bulbs in the couple years following that.
"As a kid I loved watching Christmas lights and going to see them and that's just inspired me," Cyr said.
It was actually Cyr, feeling bad for a previous neighbor who didn't want to put up any decorations, who made the 600-light "ditto" sign that now upstages his own yard's Christmas creations.
"Oh, they just laugh and think it's hilarious," he said, talking about people who pass through the neighborhood to see the display.
"It was really supposed to be a joke at first but now it's really turned into something," Green said. She started a Facebook page with more than 800 "likes" for the ditto display.
Next Christmas, green and Cyr hope to use the display's new found popularity to raise some money for charity.

North Korea rattling the sabres more than normal. Just so you know, N Korea has nuclear weapons and they are currently building a new tunnel to run another test. Just what the world needs. And they've been threatening S. Korea a lot lately.
The latest gibberish:
"reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style." --N Korean MIL
"We will destroy your forces over here. We will lay your country to waste over here. And we will kill all rat-like groups over here. Cookies?"
Time to break out Team America.
Meanwhile, China complements Kim Jung Un. Yep, we could be heading for that "200 million man army" world war that the Bible talked about. No wonder people are hoarding pinto beans and spam. Here we go again, again. Maybe Obama can make use of that new hypersonic attack plane.
