I believe mine also did, but as far as I saw there was no hole on my daughter board to screw a standoff into.

Well, it turns out that I did not receive standoffs with my board. To make matters even more confusing, there are pictures of the old "through hole" board here on Head-Fi WITH two standoffs! My Bifrost was one of the first Bifrosts probably produced, since I pre-ordered it before its actual release a few years ago. I'm e-mailing Schiit about it, will let you guys know how it goes.
I only let the Uber board burn in for about an hour with some burn in tracks, but it already is sounding fantastic, BTW.

I just finished my Uber install finally, and for those of us with the older analog board (the one with through hole) be warned that there is only ONE standoff for the analog board, not two. There's another hole on the Uber board (and, apparently, from looking at other install photos, another standoff) for a second standoff, but if you have one of the earlier Bifrosts like me you only have one standoff to screw a screw into. It didn't seem to affect the board's stability, though - the pins supported the majority of its weight and it's very sturdy.
I posted a picture of my through board above and in it you can see two holes for stand offs. My motherboard did have two stand offs on which it was mounted, so I guess my Bifrost has a different motherboard than yours.

Yeah, definitely did not have a hole. You can, again, look at 6moons' Bifrost review for a detailed picture of what my Bifrost internal looks like - no upper left standoff.
Also wanted to add to the chorus of praise for the sound of this upgrade - Oh My God, as they say, this Schiit is amazing. Even after only about an hour of burn in! Such amazing extension, depth, clarity. Thank you so much Jason and co. for this amazing product. If there was a Nobel audio prize, I would have it awarded to these guys for making something so affecting cost so little. No joke!
I'm re-enjoying my entire music collection right now with this thing. Incredible!
I'm fully aware I just sound like some sort of Schiit mouthpiece with those descriptors, but I, frankly, do not give a shoot.

I have to admit, I thought people were going a little overboard with their praise of the upgrade and prepared to do an "objective" quasi-scientific assessment after installing. Well, that lasted maybe all of 30 seconds. I did go through my test playlist, but only to hear how good each song sounded, and was wowed into just listening.
I was listening last night and heard low, low bass notes in a couple of songs that I'd never heard before. I seriously thought it wasn't in the recording for a second and backed the song up. There it was again. So it helps the sound accross the spectrum, but this bass response did impress me. And this was not on my good amp, which is in for a warranty repair.

Ditto on all the praise of the uber upgrade. I got mine last week. The ante has been upped. If you're putting off pulling the trigger you are truly missing the boat. Period. Everything's better.

Received a response from Jason today re: the one standoff:
No problem, early Bifrost motherboards only had one standoff. You're fine.

My two cents worth at http://ozpaul-ozblog.blogspot.com.au or specifically http://ozpaul-ozblog.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/schiit-bifrost-uber-upgrade-first.html Thanks to all your help too!. BTW, no need to worry about Uber voltage compatibility if your motherboard is already set correctly. Regards, Paul.
A big thanks to toscheck and hk_sends for the great info on the board replacement!! It really helped.
About the sound, I won't repeat whats been said and it is seems to be a noticeable upgrade with my HE-500. Just letting it burn in for a while.

After getting my fully functioning uber Bifrost back (Thanks, Schiit Dudes!) and falling asleep listening to music last night, I wanted to offer a couple of (vague) impressions of the uber in comparison with the original Bifrost analog/usb config.
I find there is noticeable extension in the bass and treble which makes the uber board appear almost "bright" sounding. I am hoping a little of that settles with time because folks with the Lyr and bright-sounding tubes might find it a bit over-bearing. That's really the only nit I found to pick. Fortunately, I was listening with a very warm, lush Mullard CV4109 tube set in my Lyr and the extension really served to bring out additional details that might have been "hidden" by the warm, prominent mids.
I noticed another thing, positioning (this is the possibly vague part). Listening to the original Bifrost/Lyr/LCD-2 config, the focal point of the sound seemed to be in the middle or slightly towards the back of my head. I could make out the position of the instruments to the left or right, in the front or to the rear of the ensemble but it felt as if the different layers all came together near the rear of the inside of my head (told you...vague ). The uber board brings the sonic focal point forward to the front of my head, almost behind my eyes.
Actually...a better way to describe it: With the original configuration, I felt as if I were on-stage with the band, facing the audience. With the uber I feel as if I am on-stage, this time facing the band! I can also hear additional levels of detail that comes with the change in perspective. It uncovers subtle nuances and layers of detail that I did not hear before.
I hope this made some kind of sense. It's really the only way I can describe the differences. It does make me want to re-evaluate what little remains of my tube collection. However, I can say the uber Bifrost makes the Mullards sing!
Cheers and all the best!

Well put HK_sends! Pretty much my experience with the HE500. I don't know if it's brigher or just more top end extension and detail. Still listening but on have about 5 hours on the new board. Still impressed.

I had found it a bit bright and punchy as well. So much so that I changed out the tube set in my Lyr to compensate.
After some run in it seems to have mellowed a bit or either I have managed to get used to it and I have swapped my better tubes back in to the Lyr.
The added detail is a bit of a Pandora's box. Once you hear it you have to have it, but I am not sure if it is being presented in a way that is adding to the total enjoyment.

Same experience. I posted earlier how I wondered if it came off as more of an effect and would I tire of listening to it.
Not the case at all. It's like dropping a 455 into a 75' Nova.

[/quote] http://www.jeffersonscott.com/nonfiction/ufos.htm#The%20Alien%20Message 1. "Aliens, however, seem to have no trouble identifying walk-the-walk Christians. This demographic, this segment of the population, seems to be the only one immune to UFO activity. A walk-the-walk Christian will rarely, if ever, even spot a UFO, much less undergo abduction attempts. 2. There have been only three methods proven effective in thwarting abduction attempts: righteous anger, strength of spirit, and calling on the name of Jesus in faith. The first two have been known to stop isolated abduction attempts, but cannot end the aliens' abduction efforts entirely. In these cases, the aliens simply appear in a new form, trying a new tactic. Only by calling on the name of Jesus Christ in faith can abduction attempts be halted altogether. 3. Just as there is a link between walk-the-walk Christians and the absence of UFO activity, so there is a link between those who experiment in the occult and the presence of UFO activity. Even the secular UFO literature comments that UFO abductees "tend to be unchurched" and often admit to occult practices. 4. There is something dreamlike about UFO sightings, alien encounters, and abduction attempts. Something not-quite-physical. Almost as if the whole thing is going on inside the observer's head...Contactees regularly report a "connection" between themselves and the UFO. A person sees a UFO and can will it to come closer. As soon as the person sees it, it seems to see the person. Abductions also contain psychological elements. The "aliens" play with abductees' minds, promising one thing then delivering another, or claiming to have imperative messages for mankind, then delivering nonsensical gibberish or absurd instructions. Abductees often feel psychologically manipulated and abused. 5. Indeed, that is what aliens have told contactees. "You're in danger of destroying your planet because of X" (nuclear testing or environmental disregard are the usual suspects) or "Your planet is going to be destroyed by X" (a rogue planet entering your system, or the so-called Galactic Federation). But if these ETs were really our buddies from beyond, wouldn't we expect them to help us with our problems? "You need to get off your planet before X happens, so here's the plans (or better, the keys) to a big spaceship and here's the map to a home we've scouted out for you." Or "You're in danger of destroying yourselves by killing your planet—so here's how to rebuild the ozone layer and here's free energy to eliminate fossil fuel pollution." Or "You're going to destroy each other, so we've deactivated all your weapons, given you the cure to cancer, and built you some outposts on other worlds." But instead of practical, scientific, or medical assistance, what do these space buddies give us? Eastern theology. Here's a sampling. (For a fuller dose of the "alien" message, click here.) "Gaia [Mother Earth] is not happy with you. She is going to go into great travail soon as she purges herself of the toxins you have poured out upon her." 6. There's just something devilish about so many UFO and alien contact stories. You've got the UFOs playing tag with aircraft—like cute little imps. You've got babies stolen from their cribs—just like medieval goblins used to do. You've got sexual alien encounters like the succubus/incubus stories from the Middle Ages. And you've got the sadistic, one might even say fiendish, aliens with their sadistic exploratory surgeries. 7. Revelation seems to depict a time in which the barrier between the spiritual and physical dimensions is no more. Demons, beasts, and even the devil himself are said to walk the earth alongside humans. Could it be that this is what we are seeing now with UFOs? 8. But in the end, everything kept coming back to terror—the abject horror these abductions exact from abductees. True, alien surgeons may need to stick six-inch-long needles into abductees' eyes for research purposes—but it seems more dramatic than scientific. They may really need to shove tiny implants high into abductees' noses and ears, rupturing membranes—or it may simply be torture. Why do abductees report other nightmarish phenomena: preborn "grays" gestating in vats of blood and body parts; depraved sexual encounters (including bestiality); supposed impregnation and fetal harvesting; piercing, cutting, and burning; and threatened or simulated genital mutilation? In all ways imaginable—through every orifice, in every area of free will—abductees are invaded. (I am again struck by how similar this is to demonic aggression as recorded in Hostage to the Devil.) Abductees are lied to, abused, humiliated, ridiculed, tortured, and threatened by cute, little E.T. And the abuse seems tailor-made to the abductee. It is almost as if these "aliens" can tap into a person's subconscious and pick out the images and actions that would achieve the maximum terror." The Church Lady's voice for a moment: "Could it be… Satan?" Well, honey, maybe this time you're finally right [/quote] ^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^OMG!^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ I couldn't have put this together any better to prove my point of why I think aliens are demons.

Original Message
Do you believe Alien/Human Hybrids Exist?
There is much speculation on the supposed reproductive experiments which abductees {by ET/Aliens} claim to have had done to them. Do you believe this may have happened? And if so do you believe there are human/alien hybrids walking amongst us? And do you think you or someone you know is an alien/human hybrid?

The suspect told the other students he would find the victims address on Google.
Ice cold treatment
Drochester County Sheriffs Office was dispatched to North Charleston on May 9 for a robbery. According to the juvenile victim, after getting off the school bus he used a $10 bill to purchase ice cream from an ice cream truck. After putting the change back in his pocket a juvenile suspect approached him and asked for his money. When the victim refused the suspect punched him in the face and took $1 from his pocket. The deputy made contact with the suspect who admitted to putting his hand in the victims pocket, but not to punching him or stealing the money.

It was back to work for the Georgia Bulldogs this week as they continued their spring workouts after taking the previous week off for spring break.
The tempo was faster this week than in previous weeks as the team tackled for the first time. And with this being the first week of practice after spring break, head coach Mark Richt was pleased with the physicality of the team and how they practiced with solid fundamentals.
Richt also had to be pleased with the way some of the newcomers have stepped up. In order for the team to be successful this season, the new guys will have to play at a high level, and it starts with showing up at spring practice.
Here's the Week 3 spring practice stock report for the Bulldogs.

London is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with grand museums, spectacular architecture and a lot of history. Like most major cities however, there are unspoken rules between the locals on what is acceptable behaviour and what can land you on top of the most hated tourist list.
Here's a list of what you should not do while visiting this fine city.
1. Ride the Tube at Rush Hour
London is a major business hub and people who work in and around London take the tube to get to work quickly. It's overcrowded as it is with Londoners jockeying for seats and space, so tourists shouldn't ride the tube at rush hour to avoid the murderous stares of locals who just want to get to work. This goes double for tourists who travel in a large group and people carrying luggage. Rush hour is from 6am to 10am and 4pm to 6pm. If you must, take the tube in between those times. Try walking or riding the London bus instead. The sights and sounds of London are better seen above ground anyway.
2. Stand on the left side of an escalator
In London, the left side of an escalator is reserved for people who can't wait for the lumbering staircase to reach its destination. If you find yourself riding an escalator, don't stand and clog the left side unless you want someone to politely put you in your place. If you're carrying any luggage, keep it on your right side because someone in a hurry might trip over it.

Copyright Industries Pushing for Search Engine "Voluntary Agreements," Despite Risks to Users
A Congressional hearing and a glossy new paper published yesterday by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) both underscore a major push by the copyright lobby to establish extra-legal "voluntary agreements" with search engines, similar to the "Copyright Alert" surveillance machine already in place with some ISPs. These sorts of agreements represent a troubling move towards enforcement regimes that have the speech-squashing capabilities of actual law, but not the corresponding due process or accountability.
These sorts of "voluntary" agreements generally get formed as a way for industries to avoid legislation, but that threat doesn't seem to apply here. After all, the copyright lobby has already proposed legislation that could have required these kinds of blacklisting practices. That bill, SOPA, was roundly rejected.
The MPAA may wish to invoke the specter of further legislation, and is happy to cash in on its chairman's reputation by reminding the public that he was recently a Senator, but that's not enough to bring rejected proposals back from the grave. And without such legislation, the wrong voluntary agreements could run the entertainment companies afoul of antitrust law.
What's more, there are plenty of reasons that Google and the other search engine companies might not want to spend much effort trying to satisfy the copyright industries. For one, it's not clear that these industry groups will ever be satisfied with actions that Google could take. And because the costs are borne by others—namely the search engines that spend engineering time and resources accommodating the copyright lobby, upsetting their own users in the process—why should MPAA and RIAA members care if those actions are a waste of time?
That mindset is on display in the paper released yesterday, titled "Understanding the Role of Search in Online Piracy." One section addresses the months surrounding Google's recent change to its search results to demote sites that had been frequently accused of infringement.
The MPAA, which pushed for that change, has now deemed it ineffective and wants further action. Never mind the real concerns about the lack of due process, or the harm to Google's reputation from appearing to manipulate search results. The industry unapologetically asks for more.
And all of these demands come even as Google's role in unauthorized downloading is shown not to be especially significant. Yes, Google provides a general-purpose search engine that can be used to retrieve all sorts of information—including information that is inconvenient to individual companies and organizations. But diminishing that function would have far-reaching effects for users, and even the beneficiaries of that change don't stand to gain much. The MPAA's own report says search engines "influenced" just 20% of browsing sessions that included infringement. The report doesn't make an argument for what that number should be, or even acknowledge the diminishing returns of ramping up the policing of search results.
As SOPA's rejection makes clear, the public is rightly unwilling to trade its access to an open Internet and powerful search tools for a possible reduction in the film industry's costs.
Yesterday's Congressional hearing, held by the House subcommittee that deals with copyright, also purported to look at the role of these "voluntary" agreements. As has become the standard, though, the witness list represented only one side of the debate. There were no representatives of Internet users or even of the search engines that could be charged with implementing these agreements. Instead, it featured testimony from director of the organization overseeing the Copyright Alert System, the CEO of the RIAA, and others.
Unsurprisingly, this group was in favor of reaching private agreements that mirror the provisions of SOPA. RIAA's CEO Cary Sherman in particular was adamant on this point: he complained that the companies in his organization are required to send a takedown notice for each individual accusation of infringement, instead of being able to establish a blacklist of sites.
Perhaps the most telling remark, though, came from the CEO of the Internet Advertising Bureau, Randall Rothenberg. With these private agreements in place, argued Rothenberg, big companies are effectively able to "police" the Internet. For the legacy gatekeepers an unaccountable corporate police force regulating speech may sound like a good idea. For actual Internet users, it does not.

Woman reports shoulder pain after crashJanuary 02,2013SUNDERLAND — A local woman was injured in a car crash on Monday morning on North Road, according to the Vermont State Police.
Tina Gabert, 46, of Sunderland, was driving north on North Road, near Cobbs Road, in her 2002 Subaru Impreza around 8 a.m. on Monday when she lost control and drove off the road, according to Trooper Justin Walker of the Vermont State Police.
Gabert told troopers that as she crested a hill, she began to lose traction on the snow- and slush-covered road. She said she believed the car may also have hit black ice.

In a bigger city, Saturday night's events would have posed a problem: do I see the all-ages punk show, or the basement-bar blues show? In, say, Portland, this would require figuring out Google maps, bus, bicycle or car transportation, parking arrangements, designated-driver negotiations, etc.
But because this is Missoula, the venues sit about four blocks apart, so I hopped on my bike and managed to catch most of both. God, I love this town.
Locals Swamp Ritual and the Magpies and touring Seattle punks Slatwall and Ol' Doris were lined up at Zoo City Apparel, where before the show, several of us pre-gaming degenerates stood around trying yoga poses and sniffing eucalyptus in the parking lot. We party hard in this town.
Swamp Ritual kicked off the show, and made it through the set of excellent heavy two-piece metal despite equipment malfunctions and a broken bass string. They handled it with good cheer.
The Magpies took Zoo City's fancy new wooden stage next, and why have I never seen this kickass rock 'n' roll band before? I need to see them again.
Some of my geek buddies had just about wet their pants talking about gritty pop punkers Slatwall before the show. I was not disappointed, though I did not wet my pants, for the record. Slatwall play with a great earnest melodic drive that people still call the "Midwest" punk sound, but I'd say more rightfully belongs to Northwest punks these days. I hope Slatwall enjoyed their first visit to our fair berg.
Last was Ol' Doris, and I'm told it's even better than when I saw the band at the Dark Horse a couple years ago opening for Tacocat and Smokejumper. I'll have to take other folks' word for it, because after Slatwall I strolled over to the Palace, where
Warren Jackson Hearne Aran Buzzas, Restavrant and Scott H. Biram were lined up for what was sure to be a trashy, whiskey-soaked evening.
I found my way in just as Biram, the highly esteemed one-man Americana band, was starting his second song, sitting at a kick-set and pounding out bluesy country tunes new and classic, per usual, and a cowboy-booted crowd was dancing around. Several of Biram's standard fans—the kind of guys in black bandanas whose patched-out hoodies declare love for both Austin Lucas and Los Crudos—stood around in reverence. Biram started around 11 p.m. and went until bar time, playing a lot of songs off his latest record, Bad Ingredients.
I have mixed feelings about Biram. On one hand, he's a helluva talented musician and sings songs that are earnest and true about tough living and screwy relationships. I played Bad Ingredients all last fall and thought wistful feelings about fellas.
On the other hand, he sings stuff like "whore, you're gonna get what's coming to you."
I cannot resolve my love of drinkin' songs with my loathing of misogynistic themes in one evening, so I opted to just sing along to "Still Drunk, Still Crazy, Still Blue" like I wanted to. Thanks for that, Biram.
This story was updated Monday at 12:45 to reflect the correct opening bands on the Biram bill.

Curses, Foiled Again
Marcus Banwell, 39, was arrested for shoplifting food at a convenience store in Bristol, England, after he ate one of the stolen items: a Scotch bonnet chili pepper. The variety has a heat rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units, compared with 2,500 to 8,000 for jalapeño peppers. Within seconds, Banwell doubled over in pain. The shopkeeper called police, who recovered four other chili peppers on him, along with a stolen milkshake and fruit juice. Police also found a stolen clarinet tucked inside his waistband, as well as crack cocaine and heroin. (The Huffington Post)
Cool weather is settling in on the valley, Missoula's primed for fall, and we're trying to fit as many patio drinking days in as we can before it's officially cold. With that in mind...
This week: The patio at Caffè Dolce
Atmosphere: Unlike the bulk of Missoula's downtown bars, there's a distinct European vibe at Caffè Dolce. Busy streets, a bustling patio, more gelato than you can shake a spoon at—all hallmarks of a pleasant lunch hour escape. And with the restaurant's primo selection of beer and wine, you can get your drink on a few hours ahead of the 5 p.m. Friday buzzer. The only question you have to ask yourself, or maybe the wait staff, is which wine will best pair with your grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
What you're drinking: On a recent Friday, Caffe Dolcè's Madison Unsworth recommends a riesling, specifically the Bollenberg 2010 from the Dirler-Cade winery in the Alsace region of France. It's not as sweet as your average riesling; the wine list describes it as a "bouquet of honey and honey suckle, flavors of pear, apple, lime, pineapple and baking spice." There's a "zippy freshness" to this $11-a-glass suggestion that makes it a great companion for pretty much anything on Caffe Dolcè's extensive menu.
What else you can get: Caffè Dolce has a regularly rotating selection of wines from across the globe—reds from Spain, whites from Italy, the odd rose from France. If your palate is craving a brewski, the restaurant has a number of regional beers on tap including selections from Big Sky, Great Northern and New Belgium. For the time being, you can snag a pint of New Belgium's cocoa molé ale, spiced with chili and cinnamon.
Where to find it: Caffè Dolce's a hop and a skip from the Hip Strip at 500 Brooks Street.

ESPN doesn't write about Montana sports very often. When it comes to horse racing, the World Wide Leader would seem to have little reason to pay attention to the Treasure State — if not for the remarkable luck of Magic City Thoroughbred Partners.
Bill Finley has a new story on ESPN about a pair of Billings businessmen who stumbled upon one the sport's biggest surprises. Last year, Carter Stewart and his partner Ken Schlenker bought a couple horses: Golden Ticket for $100,000 and Unbridled Minister for $150,000. With just two horses, Finley explains, their odds of winning anything were slim. Slim turned to slimmer considering Stewart and Schlenker didn't know much about horse racing's bigger races. But the pair landed a bright trainer named Kenny McPeek and Golden Ticket turned into, well, a golden ticket. The horse tied for first in the prestigious Travers Stakes, splitting a $1 million pot, and tomorrow will enter the starting gate in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby.
This is one of those things that can only happen in horse racing. Two friends get together, pool a relatively modest amount of money, hire the right trainer and advisor in Kenny McPeek and, well, get lucky. That's how they won the Travers, winning right alongside Sheik Mohammed's Godolphin stable, the most powerful racing outfit in the world.
"Nobody told me how difficult this sport was supposed to be," Stewart told Finley. "We always kept a positive attitude and figured if someone else could do it we could do it."
Golden Ticket is currently listed as a favorite at 5-2 odds.
Federal judge in Montana gives USFWS a deadline on wolverine decision

OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: 04-2514-BOS /BOS 2004-294
Tuesday, December 21, 2004
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
CONCORD, N.H. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited three contractors involved in the construction of a Manchester, N.H., baseball stadium for alleged health and safety violations.
Payton Construction Corp., of Boston, Mass., the project's general contractor, and Scire Construction Corp., of Woburn, Mass., an excavating subcontractor, were cited for failing to provide adequate safeguards for employees exposed to hazardous substances during excavation work on the site, the former Singer Park.
OSHA also cited Barnes Building & Management Group, Inc., a steel erection sub-contractor, for inadequate fall protection for employees installing steel decking.
According to Rosemarie Ohar, OSHA's New Hampshire area director, the soil at the site contains hazardous waste, including asbestos, perchloroethylene, coal tar and demolition debris from the anthrax-contaminated former Arms Textile Mill. Excavation and movement of the soil at the site potentially exposed workers to these substances.
"Payton and Scire were required under OSHA standards to develop a site-specific health and safety plan, train supervisors and workers and monitor them for exposure to these substances, but did not do so," said Ohar. "Employers must conduct pre-construction planning when work is to take place on a site such as this. Though the employers have since addressed the issue, these safeguards should have been in place before the soil was disturbed."
As a result, Payton was issued three serious citations and fined $5,200. Scire was fined $3,750 and issued four serious citations for these hazards and also for allowing employees to eat, drink and smoke in hazardous waste areas.
Separately, Barnes was fined $12,000 for one repeat citation for not providing fall protection for employees exposed to falls of up to 15 feet while installing steel decking and one serious citation for not securing the decking. Barnes had previously been cited by OSHA in Oct. 2003 and May 2002 for lack of fall protection at jobsites in Brockton, Mass. OSHA defines a serious violation as a condition where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result to an employee. A repeat citation is issued when an employer has previously been cited for a substantially similar hazard and that citation has become final.
Each company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by OSHA's area office at 53 Pleasant St., Concord, telephone (603) 225-1629.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

Kell Brook-Carson Jones: No Decision Yet From The IBF
By Terence Dooley
Carson Jones recently poured cold water on a potential fight with Kell Brook by dismissing the Sheffield man's IBF rating. The highly ranked American stated that Brook would have to move through the organization's top ten to justify a showdown. It was a case of 'Ask and you shall receive' when the IBF published their new welterweight rankings on Thursday with both Brook and Jones riding high after being ranked at five and three respectively.
Mike Jones and Randall Bailey contest the vacant IBF welterweight title at the MGM Grand on June 9. "M.J." is currently ranked at number one by the governing body, Bailey is number two, the contest will crown a champion and could see both Brook and Carson Jones bumped up a space or two, which would place them in an ideal position for a final eliminator. Argentina's Hector Saldivia is ranked at number four, but he has been secreted away in his home country in recent fights and could miss out.
As per IBF rules, the crowning of a new champion, likely to be Mike Jones, will leave the number one position open and the governing body will strive to announce a final eliminator between the next two highest ranked fighters within one business day of the number one position becoming available.
Carson Jones, 33-8-2 (23), defends his USBA belt against Allen Conyers, 12-6 (9), on May 26, a win for the 25-year-old would bring him a step closer to the IBF world title and set up a possible meeting with Brook, who won a unanimous decision over former WBC light-middleweight title challenger Matthew Hatton last month to move to 27-0 (18).
When asked about the possibly of a Brook-Jones final eliminator, the IBF confirmed to Boxingscene.com that 'As of yet, nothing has been decided on this'. It is likely that a decision will be made should Carson Jones overcome Conyers, with Brook's recent ranking boost placing him in an ideal position to secure a final eliminator with Jones for his next outing, a July seventh bout at Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena.
Indeed, Eddie Hearn, who promotes Brook, believes that a showdown with Carson Jones would be a positive forward step for his charge. Hearn took control of Brook's career last year. Hearn's chief aim was to make "Special K" a big draw in his home city of Sheffield. The capacity crowd and positive Sky figures for the Hatton meeting underlined the Yorkshireman's burgeoning popularity – Hearn can now use Brook's status to lure leading contenders over to these shores.
"I called their team straight away after the Hatton fight," said Hearn when speaking to BoxingScene.com about the possibility of a final eliminator with Carson Jones. "It is a great fight and both camps want it. We will have to see what happens in the rankings."
Well, both fighters are now in the top five. Saldivia may yet be sacrificed on the altar of pragmatism and given the promise of a title crack further down the line to accommodate Jones and Brook as both teams want the fight. Plus Carson is likely to accept that Brook's ability to bring in big crowds and viewing figures makes a trip to the UK a viable option as he seeks to firm up his own status as the IBF's top contender.
There are a few variables, but it seems increasingly likely that Brook will meet Jones in his next fight and the winner will have a great chance of securing a meeting with the next IBF welterweight champion before the turn of the year.

Freda Aron 1915-2013: Thanks for the Memory
When we learned last week that Freda Aron was in hospice care, and then on Friday that she had died, the sorrow was short-lived. As regular listeners of "The Frankie and Freda Show" will recall, Freda was comfortable with her mortality, and -- while fully engaged with this life -- was more than just a little giddy about what awaited her in the next. She had two names on her dance card in heaven: her husband Richard Aron and Frank Sinatra. Only Freda knows who got the first dance!

Quarterback Braxton Miller and most of his fellow Ohio State freshmen met with reporters earlier Wednesday, and we learned a few things.
Miller has added 15 pounds and checks in at 215. He said he learned a lot from Terrelle Pryor in spring practice but has focused on trying to win the permanent starting job. "Right now I feel a little more pressure than I did six months ago but I am trying to take it day by day," Miller said. "I really want to work on the passing plays because I have the running plays down pat."
Several players said the turmoil surrounding coach Jim Tressel's resignation didn't affect their commitment to Ohio State. "There is a lot more to Ohio State than the coach," defensive lineman Michael Bennett said. "I never thought for a second about reconsidering."
Offensive lineman Chris Carter Jr. has slimmed down from 390 pounds to 375 pounds and hopes to end up playing at around 360.
The most talked-about element from Wednesday's session were the wristbands several freshmen wore, emblazoned with the letters "JT," for Tressel. Ohio State players will pay tribute to their former coach with the wristbands this season. Freshman defender Steve Miller said he received his wristband from a member of the coaching staff.
Not surprisingly, the wristbands are making their away around the blogosphere. While there are bound to be some jokes, I have no issue with Ohio State players honoring Tressel. He helped bring the players to Columbus, where he enjoyed a decade of success, and remains a presence in their lives.
Despite his mistakes, he still has a lot of respect and credibility in the locker room.
It'll be interesting to see if Ohio State fans get in on the JT wristband trend.

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: This cake was made from a 13" x 10" pan. The football was made out of peanut butter rice krispie treats and covered with modeling chocolate, then dusted. The cake was covered with fondant, hand brushed with green, then detail was added using modeling chocolate. The goal posts were made out of floral wire. I would've liked to have covered them with yellow modeling chocolate but I ran out of time.

This paper describes the EMS-related projects that the 45 states receiving funding from the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility (Flex) Program proposed to conduct in fiscal year 2004-2005. Since the first full year of funding, the number and range of EMS improvement activities proposed has increased substantially. Because of the variability across states in the specifics of EMS activities proposed in grant applications, a method was sought that would create a logical framework for classifying activities, in order to better understand the types of EMS challenges that states are trying to address with Flex funding. The project team identified the Rural and Frontier EMS Agenda for the Future (R/F Agenda) as an appropriate guide document for cataloging and describing state proposed activities. The EMS activities were assigned to one or more of fourteen EMS attributes from the R/F Agenda. State Flex grant funds are not sufficient to ameliorate all rural EMS problems. Use of the R/F Agenda for classifying state Flex activities not only allows for identification of EMS problem areas that are most frequently being addressed with the use of Flex grant funds, but also identifies those challenges that likely need to be addressed through other mechanisms. This report will provide the EMS, rural health, and federal policy constituencies with an overview of the extent to which nationally recognized rural EMS challenges are being addressed with Flex program funding.

Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

2001 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 20th Anniversary 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
My husband and I purchased two brand new Nissan Maxima's 2001 Limited Edition cars (made in Japan). After I bought mine, he loved it so much, he bought one. I still have mine and it is an awesome car! I have maintained all regular maintenance & service on it and the items that needed repair (catalytic converter and alternator) were covered under warranty. This is the second Maxima (& 4th Nissan) I've owned and it is very fast, has great pick-up and is still stylish (after 7 years). My husband just traded his car in because he wanted a 4 cylinder and now misses his Maxima. The Bose system has incredible sound, all controls & power items still work, no problems with leather or paint! Buy one!!
I love having the controls on the steering wheel. Fog lights add sporty look. The reverse illuminated dash looks great & reads well-especially at night. Bose sound system is awesome! A lot of front leg room (I'm 5'11), love lumbar support in driver's seat. Lots of trunk room & fold down back seats.
The original tires that came with the car had to be replaced at 30K (rated as 40K tires). The replacement tires were $200+ each (best deal).
The 2001 Nissan Maxima is a very reliable and fun car to drive. In the past six years I have never had to have my car towed. I recommend anyone looking for a new car to test drive the Nissan Maxima.
Electric sunroof, heated seats.
A little bit more room for the rear passengers.
What a blast to drivel. The only things that I would change would be the front-wheel drive (too much torque steer) and a more powerful sub for the somewhat weak BOSE system. I've had no mechanical problems - only routine servicing and a flat. But, my front driver's seat is splitting in a few places. The car's got a big backside, so high speed road handling is not a stable as I'd like. But, it IS a sedan. And, a big one at that. U-turns aren't always made either. But, I got the 20th Anniversary edition, and I love the subtle fascia and body kit extras that come with it. I just wish there was more of a difference between it and the normal SE edition.
Power. Looks. 3 gear 45-90mph acceleration. Amenities.
Gas mileage: even when I use cruise control at 65mph, I can barely get 30 mpg. I usually get about 22 mpg overall driving. All-wheel drive. Too much power for front wheel drive vehicle. I wonder what the 260 and 265 horsepower Maximas drive like. I only have 227 hp.
This is my 4th Maxima and I absolutely love this car. I've had it 4 and a half years now. The car rides smooth and quiet. It has a strong 227 Hp engine, the same one found in the 2001 Infinity I30. 4900 miles on it and still performs like new. No problems to report. All I've done to this car is replaced the tires when needed. The reliability of this car is excellent. This is exactly why I buy Maximas and nothing else, it's the best car for the money. I'm about to buy a 2006 Maxima. I've received many great offers on my car to sell.
Anyone ever noticed how roomy the back seats of this car is? Great looking aerodynamic body kit and nice wheels.
Better tires and better leather. My driver seat's leather ripped in several places from normal everday use.
The 01' 20th Anniversary Special Edition is a wonderful vehical inside and out, including the mechanical parts. Nissan builds wonderful cars and the safety features are great. The car rides just as you move the steering wheel and stops on the dime. No hesitations! This is my second Maxima, previously owning a 95'. The bang is not as strong but it drives just as well. I feel extremely safe in Maxima's. The 95' Nissan was my first car, I thought I was in the Indy 500 and should have been dead 3x's. However, have been driving the Maxima saved my life.
The wheels, The 6 CD change in the trunk, the sport package, the steering wheel radio controls, even the pedals.
The leather seats need more give to them. I am just a 120 lb female and the seats are ripping, there is no give or pull in front nor rear seats. All seats are ripping at the seams and in the middle of the leather in many different areas.

Understanding the Data in the State & Congressional Tables
The data used to create these estimates are based on the most recent available IRS and Congressional District information. Two factors are important for the reader to keep in mind:
1. 2010 Congressional District Lines. The Congressional District data are drawn from the districts as they existed in 2010. While the general shape of the new district lines is known, not enough detail down to the zip code level is available for CDA to produce tax estimates based on new district lines.
2. Tax Data Based on IRS Numbers. CDA used IRS estimates and data in the following manner:

Research Summary
Keith Shockley, Ph.D., conducts research at the interface of environmental science and data science. He also serves as a bioinformatician for the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and an adjunct member of the Biomolecular Screening Branch. His central goal is to develop and apply computational approaches to analyze high dimensional data sets generated from quantitative high throughput screening (qHTS), functional genomics and other complex biological systems used to study environmental health.
Shockley's methodological research focuses on the construction of novel ways to detect actives and minimize false negatives in toxicity testing and environmental genomics. A major aim of this work is to build computational frameworks to determine the toxicological relevance of a chemical in qHTS experiments that take into account different variance structures that often accompany such data. In addition, he pursues suitable statistical methods to resolve differences arising from multifactorial study designs used in toxicogenomics investigations.
Shockley also collaborates with NIEHS researchers in efforts to advance toxicity testing and better understand biological response to environmental stress. He analyzes and interprets data generated within the Tox21 program and contributes to the design and analysis of environmental health studies conducted within the institute. This work entails the identification of putative toxicants from in vitro screening experiments and the assessment of gene expression responses associated with spontaneous and chemical-induced carcinogenesis. In addition, he implements suitable bioinformatics approaches for functional genomics evaluations and helps to develop new data analysis pipelines for DNTP studies.
