"It's not right. I think it's all of our jobs to rectify this travesty."
— Bill Walton on Dennis Johnson not being elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006
And that's always how I've felt about Dennis Johnson and the Hall of Fame.
I mean, this is DJ we are talking about. He's got the resume that reads perfectly on a Hall of Fame bust, right? A Finals MVP, three championships, five All-Star Games and on the Mount Rushmore of great defensive guards. What am I missing?
With the announcement last week that DJ was a finalist for the Class of 2010, I decided to take a closer look at the case for Dennis Johnson. So I dusted off the Keltner List, a set of 14 questions that has been used mostly to determine if a player deserves to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, it translates fairly well to basketball, so let's take a gander.
1. Has he ever been regarded as the best player in basketball? Has anyone ever suggested that he was the best player in basketball?
Well, no. But that's a really tough standard. During his career (1976-90), the title of Best Player in Basketball was held, at one time or another, by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. All-time all-timers. But how many Hall of Famers were never near the best player in the league? Joe Dumars played 14 seasons in the NBA and finished in the top 10 in MVP voting once (and that was 10th, in 1993). James Worthy finished 12th in MVP voting in 1986, and that was the only season in his career when he received any votes at all. Lots of guys like that in Springfield. But Dennis Johnson finished fifth in MVP voting in 1980 and eighth in 1981. So for three years or so he was a top seven or eight player in the league. But no, I don't think anyone ever suggested that DJ was the best player in basketball. If those were the only guys you let into the Hall of Fame there would be about 20 players enshrined.
2. Was he the best player on his team?
Sure he was. With the Supersonics he was a second-team All-NBA player in 1980. And he was MVP of the Finals in 1979. Gus Williams and Jack Sikma (the owner of a top five all-time perm) were good players, but I think most people thought that DJ was the best player on those teams. And that first season in Phoenix was his first-team All-NBA year.
(Here's every retired player that has won a Finals MVP award and been named to an All-NBA first team.
Jerry West
Willis Reed
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain
John Havlicek
Rick Barry
Bill Walton
Dennis Johnson
Magic Johnson
Moses Malone
Larry Bird
Isiah Thomas
Michael Jordan
Hakeem Abdul Olajuwon
With the exception of DJ, every player on that list is in the Hall of Fame. In fact, except for Rick Barry, every other player was elected on the first ballot. And everyone but DJ was named as one of the NBA's 50 best players in 1996. And although A.C. Green is not on this list, it should be noted that from 1958-2002 he and Wilt Chamberlain combined to sleep with over 20,000 women. Seemed as a good a place as any to mention that.)
3. Has he ever been the best player in basketball at his position?
You could make a case for DJ as the best guard in the NBA during the two years before Magic took over the title. Here's the All-NBA first team of 1981:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird
Julius Erving
George Gervin
Dennis Johnson
Again, a bunch of guys in the Hall of Fame and D.J. I'm not sure how to compare DJ and The Iceman. Gervin led the league in scoring four times in a five-year stretch from 1978-82 but played absolutely no defense. By all accounts he was the kind of guy that would rather score 50 and lose than 14 and win. Well, we know that wasn't DJ I'm OK with DJ as the best "all-around" guard in the league at that time. Nearly 20 points a game plus the best defensive player at his position. But I'll allow that we aren't exactly talking about the golden age of guard play.
4. Has he had an impact on a number of NBA Finals or conference finals?
This, as we all know, might be Dennis Johnson's best argument for the Hall of Fame.
The Sonics do not win the NBA title in 1979 without DJ. The Celtics do not win the NBA title in 1984 without DJ. How many players not in the Hall of Fame can claim that they were the difference for two title winners? Just look at these playoff moments from his years with the Celtics:
1) The Celtics were down 2-1 in the 1984 Finals (and save for Gerald Henderson would have been down 3-0) and had just lost Game 3 by 33 points when DJ was assigned to defend Magic Johnson. Four games later, the Celtics were champions (DJ averaged 18-5-3 for the series) and "Tragic" Johnson was born. Magic would later call DJ "the best defensive guard I ever played against."
2) DJ hits a jumper as time expired to give the Celtics a 107-105 win in Game 4 of the 1985 Finals, evening the series at 2-2. He averaged 16.0 points, 9.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the six-game series and led all players in with 247 minutes of court time.
(Think about that for a second. In an NBA Finals between the biggest of rivals, at the peak of the league, in a series that included seven Hall of Famers, the player that was on the court the most was Dennis Johnson. And we aren't talking about borderline Hall of Famers, either. Any serious list of the six or seven best players in history has to have Kareem, Bird and Magic on there. Doesn't that have to count for something?)
3) I think the 1986 Celtics would have won the title with Johnny Weir at point guard. We are talking about the best team I have ever seen in any sport. So I can't give DJ a lot of credit for this one, though he did put the clamps on Robert Reid in the Finals. And again, in a series that had five Hall of Famers, only Bird played more minutes than DJ.
4) DJ averaged 18.9 points and 8.9 assists in 23 games during the 1987 playoffs and was the Celtics' best player in the Finals (21.0 ppg, 9.3 apg, shot 48 percent from the floor and 86 percent from the line). And how many players have you seen in your lifetime of watching basketball that would have had the instinct to race to the basket as he did after Bird's steal vs. the Pistons? When Bird called DJ "the best player I have ever played with," THAT was the kind of stuff he had in mind. Sure, Kevin McHale was probably a better player. But DJ was cut in the Bird mold. He was the only player that Bird talked about with a little bit of awe, the way everyone else talked about Larry.
5. Was he good enough that he could play regularly after passing his prime?
He was just OK in his last three years, but, yeah, I would count him as a serviceable NBA guard until he retired (at age 35) in 1990. He was neither a revelation nor an embarrassment during his third act.
6. Is he the very best (eligible) basketball player in history who is not in the Hall of Fame?
Karl Malone is, but he'll get in this year, as will Scottie Pippen. But not counting those guys (each on the ballot for the first time)?
I don't see a single player not in the Hall of Fame (and currently eligible) that is a clear choice over Dennis Johnson. There are some guys that you could argue (Jo Jo White would be one. Very close call. Also a Finals MVP, White was a six-time All-Star and a key part of a couple of title-winners. Also second-team All-NBA twice. Gun to my head, I'd still take DJ, but I think if one gets in the other would have to as well) but there are no locks. Though I can understand the Bernard King argument. So I'd suggest that if Dennis Johnson isn't the best player not in the Hall of Fame, he's somewhere among the top three.
7. Are most players who have comparable statistics in the Hall of Fame?
If you look at his offensive numbers, then no, not really. Some are in, but most are not. But there's another list. How about the players in NBA history that have made the first or second All-Defensive Team at least nine times:
Tim Duncan
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Kevin Garnett
Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan
Gary Payton
Bobby Jones
Kobe Bryant
Hakeem Abdul-Olajuwon
Jason Kidd
Dennis Johnson
All those active guys are first-ballot locks. Gary Payton will get in, too. So only Bobby Jones and DJ are left out. And while Jones was a really good NBA player (and totally forgotten), he was never an All-NBA guy or Finals MVP.
8. Do the player's numbers meet Hall of Fame standards?
Again, they don't jump off the basketball-reference page and hump your leg or anything, but they are plenty good enough. When he retired in 1990 he was one of just 12 players to score more than 15,000 points and collect over 5,000 assists. And you're never going to guess what the other 11 guys have in common. Yup, all Hall of Famers.
Magic Johnson
Oscar Robertson
Lenny Wilkens
Bob Cousy
Tiny Archibald
Jerry West
John Havlicek
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Dave Bing
Julius Erving
Walt Frazier
9. Is there any evidence to suggest that the player is significantly better or worse than is suggested by his statistics?
In 1979-80, the Supersonics won 56 games and lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. They traded Dennis Johnson to the Suns in the offseason (for Paul Westphal) and won 34 games in 1980-81. The Suns, meanwhile, went from third to first in the Pacific Division in 1980-81, finishing three games ahead of the Magic/Kareem Lakers.
In 1982-83, the Suns won 53 games. They traded Dennis Johnson to the Celtics that offseason (for Rick Robey, of course. That's one of those trades that would never happen today. In the Internet/talk radio/ESPN world, I mean. I get that DJ had some baggage, but a 28-year-old, four-time All-Star straight up for a guy that, if everything worked out, would maybe give you 20 minutes a night as a backup center? Is there a 2010 equivalent to this deal? Maybe Joe Johnson for Aaron Gray. That's about right). The Suns won 41 games in 1983-84. The Celtics won 56 games in 1982-83 and were swept by the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals (despite 0.4 points per game from Robey.) In 1983-84, the Celtics won 62 games, beat the Bucks in five games in the Eastern Conference finals and went on to beat the Lakers in seven to win the NBA title.
Teams got better when DJ arrived and got worse when he left. And not just slightly in either direction. So that would be, I think, a "yes" to Question 9.
10. How many MVP-type seasons has he had? Has he ever won an MVP award? If not, how many times has he been close?
Never challenged for an MVP award. The year he finished fifth (1979-80), Kareem was a runaway winner. He was never close to winning, but as I wrote earlier, the Hall of Fame is stuffed with guys who never challenged for an MVP. You think Paul Pierce is a Hall of Fame lock, right? Well, so do I. You know how many first-place votes Pierce has received in his career? Zero. Second-place? None. Third place? One, last year. Since Pierce began his NBA career, 1,359 MVP ballots have been cast, and just one voter thought he was one of the three best players in the league for a given season. But he'll still cruise into the Hall of Fame, probably on the first ballot. MVP voting just doesn't mean a lot in basketball when it comes to the Hall. Unlike baseball, it's a sport that can be dominated by a single person, and that usually is the guy that wins the MVPs. Plus, there rarely is a fluke MVP in hoops. No Zoilo Versalles or Kevin Mitchell. There isn't an NBA MVP who isn't in the Hall of Fame (or will be when eligible.) There are lots of baseball MVPs who haven't even come close to Cooperstown (hello to George Bell, Jeff Burroughs and Willie Hernandez, among others.) This is the one spot where the Keltner List isn't much help and frankly doesn't translate well to basketball.
11. How many All-Star-type seasons has he had? How many All-Star Games has he played in? Did most of the players who played in this many All-Star Games go into the Hall of Fame?â¨
Dennis Johnson played in five All-Star Games. There are 21 other players eligible for the Hall of Fame who have played in five All-Star Games. Nine are have been elected.
I was a little surprised to see that D.J. played in just one All-Star Game for the Celtics, but it makes sense when you consider that A) Jordan and Isiah were the starters every year and B) The Big Three made it every year.
(In case you were wondering, the stone-lock number of All-Star Game appearances you need to get into the Hall of Fame is eight. There have been 37 players eligible for the Hall of Fame that have played in eight. Only Larry Faust isn't in Springfield. In fairness, he did kill four people in 1972, so maybe that's why he isn't in. Kidding, of course. But once you get to eight, you can punch the ticket.)
12. If this man were the best player on his team, would it be likely that the team can win an NBA title?
Well, he was the best player on a team that won an NBA title. And you could at argue that he was the second-best player on the 1984 Celtics. Take a look at all the NBA title winners and figure out the second-best player on those teams. I'll bet 90 percent of them are in the Hall of Fame.
13. What impact has the player had on basketball history? Has he been responsible for any rule changes? Has he introduced any new equipment? Has he changed the game in any way? Was his college and/or international career especially noteworthy?
Not much here, although he was one of the subjects of the famous "Thirteen Johnsons Playing The Game" song from the 1984 Pride And Passion NBA DVD. Come on, sing along:
Thirteen Johnsons With The Same Last Name
Thirteen Johnsons Playing The Game
All Of The Johnsons Shooting Hoop
Too Many Johnsons Spoil The Soup
That final line, by the way, has never been uttered by Nina Hartley.
So Will He Get In?
I have to confess that I thought I would need to play the intangible card with DJ. You know, look past the numbers, was a winner, all that stuff. But his numbers alone hold up pretty well. And there are just too many important lists that have only Hall of Famers and DJ. Can't ignore that. Again, I'm not sure that he's the very best player not in the Hall of Fame, but there aren't five better. He absolutely deserves his day.
I don't think he gets in this year (that'll be Malone, Pippen and The Dream Team — I'm speaking about the 1992 Olympic squad, not the Brutus Beefcake/Greg Valentine tag duo of the late '80s) but I still believe it'll happen sometime in the next couple of years. I bet he sneaks in during a down year.
And that'll make the case for Jo Jo White a lot easier.

Israeli premier, Hamas declare victory in Gaza war
JERUSALEM -- Both Israel's prime minister and Hamas declared victory Wednesday in the Gaza war, though their competing claims left questions over future terms of their uneasy peace.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments, delivered in a prime-time address on national television, appeared aimed at countering critics of the war, with both hard-liners in his governing coalition, as well as residents of rocket-scarred southern Israel, saying the war was a failure because it did not halt Hamas' rocket attacks or oust the group from power.
Masked Hamas militants carrying heavy weapons gave their own address upon the rubble of one destroyed Gaza neighborhood, though their own major demands won't be addressed until indirect talks with Israel begin again in Cairo.
Israel and Hamas agreed to an open-ended truce Tuesday, with each side settling for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm.
Hamas, though badly battered, remains in control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact. Israel and Egypt will continue to control access to blockaded Gaza, despite Hamas' long-running demand that the border closures imposed in 2007 be lifted.
Hamas is seeking an end to the Israeli blockade, including the reopening of Gaza's sea and airport. It also wants Egypt to reopen its Rafah border crossing, the territory's main gateway to the outside world. Under the restrictions, virtually all of Gaza's 1.8 million people cannot trade or travel. Only a few thousand are able to leave the coastal territory every month.
Israel wants Hamas to be disarmed.
"Hamas was hit hard and it received not one of the demands it set forth for a cease-fire, not one," Netanyahu said. He said Israel "will not tolerate" any more rocket fire, and would respond "even harder" if the attacks resume.
Addressing the future of Gaza, Netanyahu said that should Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "choose peace," he would be happy for the Palestinian leader to regain control of the coastal enclave, which Hamas has ruled since 2007.

A One-Stage Model of Link Formation and Payoff Division
In this paper we introduce a strategic form model in which cooperation structures and divisions of the payoffs are determined simultaneously. We analyze the cooperation structures and payoff divisions that result according to several equilibrium concepts. We find that essentially no cycles will result and that a player need not profit from a central position in a cooperation structure.

Separate groups of researchers have sequenced the genomes of Plasmodium vivax and the lesser known malaria parasite, Plasmodium knowlesi. Both studies are published in the October 9 issue of Nature.
Jane Carlton, Ph.D., NYU Langone Medical Center, led about 40 researchers from across the world in the efforts to sequence P. vivax. They report that the genome for P. vivax is dramatically different from the genomes of three other sequenced malaria parasites: different in content, structure, and complexity.
Yet, the P. vivax genome was found to be far more similar to that of P. falciparum than was expected, according to investigators from the Barcelona Centre for Research on International Health. The study revealed 150 genes specific to P. vivax.
The genome analysis also indicated that P. vivax should have alternative mechanisms for infecting the erythrocytes. These alternative routes have not been observed, but the scientists note that the the genetic information necessary for this to happen is written in the genome.
The investigators used whole genome shotgun methods in this research and plan to sequence six other P. vivax genomes from Brazil, Mauritania, India, North Korea, and Indonesia.
Separately, a group led by scientists at the New York University School of Medicine and the J. Craig Venter Institute sequenced the P. knowlesi genome. The work revealed it to be an example of molecular mimcry, likely a major factor in survival. The team also found several members of a large gene family that contain sequence signatures similar to a human gene involved in regulation of the regulation of the immune system. The parasite versions of the human protein are thought to interfere with recognition of infected red blood cells, according to the researchers.
They also found that P. knowlesi has a fundamentally different architecture of the genes involved in antigenic variation compared to other malaria parasites. "Unusually, the key genes that we think help the parasite to evade detection and destruction by host defenses are scattered through the genome," points out to Arnab Pain, Ph.D., project manager at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "In the other species we have examined, these genes are most often near the tips of the chromosomes."
The genome sequence, the scientists state, provides an updated catalogue of proteins that help the parasite in the early stages of infection. They identified novel regions in the genome that help to understand the regulation of these key genes and the transport of their proteins to the red cell surface.

I do think that capitalism does breed some sort of greed. Over the past three years there had been this huge desire for the "already wealthy" to be in the "Billionaire club".
I mean those Business owners and Hedge fund managers literally making deals with the devil to get them to that billionaire status.
But they're not doing anything wrong because they are simply "capitalizing" on "specific" opportunities in order to make themselves rich. Wheather it be driving up the price of oil, or using scare tactics to imply that the world is running out of food .....all so that we the people pay more.
And they would make the arguement that if we were as smart as they were, we'd be doing the same thing.
I'll be the first to say that hey "only the strong survive" and if I could do it I probably would but why not have a little of both capitalism and socialism to balance things out a little?

Tigers Demote Phil Coke
Phil Coke was one of the heroes of the Detroit Tigers? playoff run last season, taking over for Jose Valverde as the primary closer while allowing one run in 10.2 innings. And now, less than a year later, he?s been demoted to Triple-A.
Coke?s performance this season certainly hasn't been pretty with a 5.00 ERA in 36 innings, but it?s not that far off from the 4.16 ERA he posted in 227 innings during his first three seasons with the Tigers and a deeper look at his numbers shows a reliever being misused. Coke has always been good against lefties and struggled against righties, but manager Jim Leyland has used him like a traditional setup man rather than like a southpaw specialist.

BioBag Dog Waste Bags
BioBag Dog Waste Bags- Cleaning up after your dog might not be your favorite task, but it's an important one to keep your yard, neighborhood, or park clean. Don't rely on leftover grocery bags to clean up your dog's waste. Instead, invest in an environmentally friendly option: BioBag Dog Waste Bags. Thanks to these bags, even cleaning up your pup's messes can fit into your green lifestyle.
Plastic Bags vs. BioBag Dog Waste Bags
Your traditional plastic grocery bags are a convenient option when it comes to cleaning your yard or neighbors' yards. However, these polyethylene-based plastic bags can have a negative impact on the environment. These bags are not compostable, meaning they sit in landfills for more than 100 years before degrading. Moreover, if you do not dispose of these bags properly, they risk injuring or killing marine life and birds, both of which can ingest or become tangled in the bags.
BioBag Dog Waste Bags do not use polyethylene-based plastic, making them better for the environment and safer for animals should they come into contact with them. The Biodegradable Products Institute has certified that these bags are 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable, meaning they break down in a reasonable amount of time rather than piling up in landfills. Your dog's waste is biodegradable, so why shouldn't your bags be? Dog-friendly and planet-friendly BioBag Dog Waste Bags are the first of its kind. Make them a part of your pet care routine today.
BioBag Basics
BioBag is an international leader in the development of bags and films to collect and compost organic waste. The company's bags are made of a resin derived from plant starches, vegetable oils, and compostable polymers. These environmentally friendly formulas make it easy to be a responsible pet owner.

Lifting bag
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Israeli Navy Underwater Missions Unit transfers equipment using lifting-bags
|Lifting heavy objects underwater
A lifting bag is an item of diving equipment consisting of a robust and air-tight bag with straps, which is used to lift heavy objects underwater by means of the bag's buoyancy. The heavy object can either be moved horizontally underwater by the diver or sent unaccompanied to the surface. Besides as a piece of diving equipment there are also lifting bags used on land for lifting cars or heavy loads or lifting bags which are used in machines. These lifting bags of the AS/CR type are for example used in the brake mechanism of rollercoasters.
It is advisable to select a lift bag with an appropriate capacity for the task at hand. If the lift bag is grossly oversized a runaway or otherwise out of control ascent may result. Commercially available lifting bags may also incorporate dump valves to allow the operator to control the bags buoyancy during ascent.
If a single bag is insufficient, multiple bags may be used, and should be distributed to suit the load.

- 3 Use

- 6 References
Physics of buoyant lifting[edit]
The volume of the bag determines its lifting capacity: each litre of air inside the bag will lift a weight of 1 kilogram, or each cubic foot will lift about 62 pounds. For example, a 100-litre (3.5 cu ft) bag can lift a 100-kilogram (220 lb) underwater object.
A partially filled bag will accelerate as it ascends because the air in the bag expands as the pressure reduces on the ascent, following Boyles law, increasing the bag's buoyancy, whereas a full bag will overflow or blow off excess volume and maintain the same volume and buoyancy providing is does not descend. A bag which leaks sufficiently to start sinking will lose volume to compression and become less buoyant in a positive feedback loop until stopped by the bottom.
The force required to lift a submerged object from the bottom can be split into two main components:
- Apparent weight, which is the weight of the object less the buoyancy of its displacement.
- Breakout forces due to embedment in the bottom, which can be negligible, or in some cases the major part of the load.
Once the object has broken free of the bottom, only the apparent weight remains, and a controlled lift requires a way of managing the sudden decrease of resistance to the lifting force. There are three basic ways this can be done:
- Use of mechanical or hydraulic excavation to loosen the sediments holding the load.
- Use of a "Dead Man Anchor" - a large heavy weight - and restraining cable to prevent the bag from moving away too far, so that the buoyancy can be corrected to more closely match the load.
- Use of shallow bags with long cables to the load to provide breakout, which will only lift a short distance before surfacing, after which the load can be lifted further by close coupled bags.
Stability of the load[edit]
Once a load is lifted off the substrate, it will rotate until the centre of gravity is in the position of lowest potential energy. If it is suspended from a single point, the apparent centre of gravity (corrected for inherent buoyancy) will be directly below the lift point. If it is undesirable for the load to rotate by a large angle as it leaves the bottom, the lifting point must be chosen to allow for this effect, and a multi-part sling or spreader bar may be needed, and it may be necessary to secure slings so they do not slip.
Types and construction[edit]
Underwater lifting bags are lifting equipment and as such may be required to comply with standards.
Open lift bags (parachute lift bags)[edit]
Parachute lift bags are open at the bottom. When full any extra or expanding air will spill out.
The shape of an open lifting bag should distribute the volume in a vertical rather than a horizontal direction so that the open end of the bag always remains underwater. If the open end reaches the surface, air will escape from the bag and it may sink.
The simplest version are two-sided bags, either joined round the edges or foldes and joined along two sides. Webbing straps may be stitched to doubler patches which are then glued or welded to the bag on light duty bags, but on large and heavy duty bags there are usually strips of bag material bonded to the bags which form flat retaining tubes for the webbing which is threaded through the tubes and may be withdrawn for maintenance and inspection. heavy duty open bags are generally conical with a domed top or a reversed truncated cone top, and may have several straps from the lifting point at the bottom, through the guide tubes on the sides, to a crown ring of webbing or steel at the top, to spread the load evenly over the fabric of the bag.
Closed lift bags (camels)[edit]
Closed lift bags have an overpressure valve to prevent internal pressure from exceeding ambient pressure by more than a set amount (around 10kPa, or 1msw)
Types of lift for which bags are suitable[edit]
Direct lift[edit]
The bag or set of bags is used to lift the load directly to the surface.
Staged lift[edit]
Lift bags are used to bring the load up in stages: a long chain or sling is used to connect the cargo to a lift bag at a shallower depth, which is filled to lift the load until the bag reaches the surface, then a second bag is used to bring the load up further. This procedure continues until the load has been raised sufficiently. Advantages of this method are a more controlled lift, the facility to use a larger capacity for initial breakout without risk of a runaway. Disadvantages include the requirement for divers to work on or near the lifting gear when under load.
Buoyancy assisted lift[edit]
The lift is controlled by a line from the surface vessel, and the load is reduced by a lift bag with a volume too small to support the weight of the load when full. This allows a faster lift by the winch. The lifting gear must be capable of supporting the load if the bag fails, or must be arranged to fail safely.
A buoyancy assisted lift is a common procedure for recreational divers to assist the recovery of the shotline or anchor, which would otherwise be pulled up manually. A small lift bag attached to the shot is partially filled by the last diver to leave the bottom, and after surfacing the crew pull up the line and the air in the bag expands as it ascends, providing more assistance to the crew. In this application a runaway lift is not usually a problem, and the bag size is not critical.
Rigging lift bags[edit]
Lift bags can not be over inflated, and can not normally exert a buoyant force greater than their safe working load, however the rigging can be subjected to snatch loads, which can be caused by a variety of factors.
- When the bag is used in shallow water and surge or wave action causes rapid changes in dynamic loading, by pulling the bag from side to side
- When the bag has lifted the load to the surface and the bag is subjected to vertical wave action
- When the lift bag is incorrectly rigged
- When the lift bag is snagged, then breaks free to be snubbed when the slack is taken up.
- When the load is partly supported by a lifting cable and there is a sudden variation on the tension in the cable due to vessel movement or cable slip.
When lifting with more than one bag, allowance should be made for reduced filling capacity if bags are attached in such a way that they press against each other.
Incorrect rigging can cause load concentration on attachment points which may exceed the SWL
A inverter or capsizing line can be attached to the top of the bag. This line should be long enough and strong enough to attach to an independent anchor point so that if the lift bag or rigging fails the bag will be inverted and the air will escape, preventing a runaway lift. This procedure is generally used for short distance transport near the bottom, as when aligning large components for assembly.
A holdback line is used to prevent the lift bag and load from floating away when used for short distance lifts at the bottom. The holdback is attached to the lifting ring of the bag, and should be attached by a strong cable to an anchor point it cannot lift. The SWL of the holdback should be at least equal to the lifting capacity of the bag. A holdback and inverter are often used together.[1]
Filling lift bags[edit]
The amount of air required for a lift bag depends on the apparent weight of the load and the depth of the bag. Approximately 1 m3 of air at ambient pressure is required per tonne of lift. Free air volume follows Boyle's law, and is proportional to absolute ambient pressure in bar or ata.
For example: A 5 tonne lift with the bags to be filled at 20m, requires 5m3 of air at 3 bar, which is 15m3 at surface pressure.
Filling air is usually supplied from the surface from a low pressure compressor, but for small lifts the diver may carry a cylinder of air for the purpose. It is considered bad practice in some jurisdictions[citation needed] to fill a lift bag from the diver's breathing gas cylinder, particularly if the diver has decompression obligations or only one cylinder as the risk of using up too much air and leaving the diver without sufficient air for a safe ascent is considered unacceceptable.[citation needed]
Hazards of use[edit]
- Snagging of the diver or diver's umbilical or lifeline in the lifting equipment, resulting in an uncontrolled rapid ascent
- Using too much air from scuba diver's breathing gas supply, resulting in an out of air incident.
- Using too much volume in the lift bags, resulting in a positive feedback expansion on ascent and a runaway lift.
- Leaks in lift bags, causing loss of buoyancy and sinking of the load after lifting. The load may then sink increasingly rapidly as the air in the bags compresses, and may be a hazard to divers below or working on the load at the surface, or the load may be lost.
- Unbalanced attachment of lifting gear may cause the load to be unstable once lifted free of the bottom. subsequent capsize or shifting of the load may break it free of the rigging, or damage the load or the lift bag. Similarly poorly chosen or inadequate lifting points may result in overstressing the cargo and causing damage.

Over the years, a large number of procedures and diagnostic examinations have been developed in the research laboratory and then applied to clinical use. Senior readers will recall when it was necessary to contact someone in the research laboratory to obtain serum electrolyte levels. The determination of arterial blood gases is an example of a technique that was perfected in the research laboratory and has become indispensable when managing a variety of clinical problems.
The determination of intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the latest techniques developed in the laboratory that is now available for clinical use. Measuring ICP is not new. It has been approximated by lumbar puncture or measured directly by ventricular puncture for years. Instruments that can be placed in the ventricle, over the surface of the brain, or in the epidural space have been developed. These are very ingenious, accurate, and reasonably safe. They all require

Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral isn't Mary Doria Russell's first time in the saddle; the New York Times bestselling author had a western hit in 2011's Doc, about John Henry "Doc" Holliday. Encouraged by the reception that her break from sci-fi convention into the world of historical fiction received, Russell mustered up what could be called her first-ever sequel, here part two, if you will, which is set around the actual events leading to the 1881 shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone.

After reading The Whites "by Richard Price writing as Harry Brandt" the big question I had was: why the awkward authorial byline? In interviews, Price said he wanted to try his hand at a straight-ahead crime novel, as opposed to his works that make greater sociological statements like Clockers or Lush Life. But The Whites certainly achieves the higher-than-just-police-stuff standard Price has always set for himself.
Brad Gooch, whom in the last 20 years or so has become increasingly known for his biographical works, started his career in New York during the '70s as a model, landing himself in the pages of high fashion magazines. Modeling, in fact, was a means to keep paying the rent.
Gooch's true vocation in literature would see his works published in various magazines during the first lap of his literary pursuits.
In 1977, director Hebert Ross captivated American moviegoers with The Turning Point. An inside look into the world of professional ballet, the film starred Anne Bancroft, Shirley Maclaine, Tom Skerritt, and a gorgeous young Russian named Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Based on Ross's wife, ballerina Nora Kaye, and her friend and fellow dancer Isabel Mirrow Brown, The Turning Point incited a brief bout of American balletomania. Actresses Anne Bancroft and Shirley Maclaine were already superstars; Baryshnikov soon joined them. Co-stars Leslie and Ethan Brown, Mirrow's children, enjoyed long dance careers.
You might get to the end of "Summer People", the first story in Get in Trouble, and wonder how you got there. Without giving too much away, it's probably not an ending you'd expect and it kind of comes out of nowhere.

Parents will be scrambling to find someone to watch their children when 1,600 Durham Region workers walk off the job on June 19th.
CUPE 1764, which represents the workers, has been trying to negotiate a new collective agreement with the Regional Municipality of Durham, but a statement released by the union reads:
"This is to advise members that the parties have reached an impasse. We have just notified the employer that the 48-hours notice, will commence tomorrow morning, Tuesday, June 17th @ 6AM. A legal work stoppage will commence on Thursday, June 19th at 6:00 AM. Further details will be forthcoming. Please be advised that your benefits are fully in place during the work stoppage."
Durham Region officials say there are contingency plans in place to ensure that most programs and services continue, but others will need to be shut down for the duration of the strike.
One of the biggest impacts on residents will be the closing of six child-care centres. The centres that would be affected are the Pickering Child Care Centre, Ajax Child Care Centre, Whitby Child Care Centre, Gibb Street Child Care Centre, Lakewoods Child Care Centre, and the Edna Thomson Child Care Centre.
A number of Health Department Services will also be suspended for the duration of the strike, including:
Water meter reading programs will also be placed on hold and only emergency repairs will be conducted within the Durham Regional Local Housing Corporation Units.

WASHINGTON — Republicans' search for a way back to presidential success is drawing a striking array of personalities and policy options, creating a wide-open self-reassessment of the party. GOP activists may need three full years to decide which candidate and which philosophy will serve them best in 2016.
Rival factions are trying to tug the party left or right, toward pragmatism or defiance, toward small-government purity versus pride in the good that government can do.
Traditional stands against gay marriage and against looser immigration laws are being challenged. And the tea party's influence looms large in early presidential jockeying after a muted role in the heart of last year's contest.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is generating nationwide attention with a libertarian-tinged message that drew modest attention until a short time ago.
Marco Rubio, a tea party hero since elbowing his way past Florida's Republican governor in the 2010 Senate race, is practically a GOP mainstreamer now. Republicans don't need a new idea, he told a recent gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference, because they already have one. "The idea is called America, and it still works," Rubio said.
At the same conference, Paul espoused a different view. The Republican Party, he said, is "stale and moss-covered."
It's Paul — not Rubio or one of the several governors eyeing a presidential bid — who got the coveted invitation to headline the Iowa Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner in May.
It's possible that one Republican candidate will pull away from the pack over the next two years. But the absence of an early frontrunner is unusual for a party that traditionally picks its nominee with a next-in-line mind set, said Dan Schnur, a former Republican campaign aide who teaches political science at University of Southern California. Now, he said, "there is no hierarchy."
Thus far, no one is creating more buzz than Paul, whose father, Ron Paul, is a libertarian champion and three-time presidential candidate. The younger Paul generally avoids his father's more esoteric issues, such as abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the gold standard.
Rand Paul's anti-war stand also is softer than his father's. But the junior senator from Kentucky gained widespread attention this month with a 13-hour filibuster challenging U.S. policy for using drones to kill terrorist suspects.
Soon thereafter, Paul won CPAC's presidential straw poll — as his father did in past years — and delivered a widely covered speech on immigration.
Even Paul's occasional critics salute his fast rise.
"He's passionate, he knows no fear and he's true to his beliefs," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who publicly rebuked Paul's remarks about drone policies. "We're on different planets when it comes to foreign policy," Graham said. He cautioned Paul: "I think it's going to be difficult to lead the Republican Party without embracing peace through strength, the Ronald Reagan approach to national security."
Nearly equaling Paul in early presidential speculation is Rubio, 41, who is tasked with helping his party find better footing on immigration. Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, is trying to craft a lengthy but feasible path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
Hispanics voted overwhelmingly for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Some GOP strategists hope Rubio can reverse the trend.

When shopping for cheap trucks in Charlotte, potential buyers must consider several crucial factors. Those visiting used car dealerships should carefully examine advertising claims to ensure the trucks for sale are of the quality and value depicted; misleading financing offers crop up often. Private sellers, such as individuals selling pickup trucks on Craigslist, may try to hide damage or maintenance issues. Regardless of the venue, purchasing a cheap truck can often become a "buyer beware" situation.
Individuals shopping for cheap trucks in Charlotte may be attracted to truck exclusive dealers, which offer wide selections of pickup trucks. While these locations present convenient "one-stop shops" for many customers, they can also become price traps for unsuspecting individuals. Commonly requested products and services such as lifts and aftermarket accessories often come at a high premium at these dealerships; shopping around for the best deal is the sure fire way to avoid such price gouging.
Finding cheap trucks in Charlotte shouldn't require you to compromise on things like quality and selection. At DriveTime Auto Sales, we offer a deep selection of cheap trucks for sale. Each of our trucks is backed by incredible warranty options and unique financing. We believe each of our customers has the right to purchase with confidence, and our warranties back that up. Come check out our selection of cheap trucks today!
Charlotte cheap pickup trucks aren't all created the same, and at DriveTime, we believe "cheap" doesn't have to mean "garbage." We work with each customer's unique financial situation to help them drive off the lot in their new trucks. Our financing options include smaller down payments as well as reoccurring payments that reflect each buyer's income and budget. In just a few short months of on-time payments, your cheap truck will be all yours.

Former Charleston City Councilman Paul Tinkler is the first candidate to announce that he will file for the vacant S.C. Senate District 41 seat.
Tinkler, a Democrat, said he will run even if Republican Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell enters the race.
"I think Glenn has done an excellent job," Tinkler said. "I just think I would bring a fresh perspective."
A lawyer with 34 years experience, Tinkler said he is interested in correcting faults in the state's legal system and working on state-municipal issues, such as annexation.

Boutte paces Gents at regional championships
ALEXANDRIA –Not even slick track conditions or limited practice time could get in the way of Tonori Boutte's ultimate goal.
Neither could a star-studded field in the 100- and 200-meter dashes at the Region I Track and Field Championships at Alexandria Senior High Wednesday.
Despite getting in just two practice days following last week's District 4-AAA championships due to prom and his normal rest day's between meets, Crowley's star sprinter overcame slow starts in both races to win the events and advance to next week's state track meet at LSU.
He also ran the anchor leg on the second place 4x200 and third place 4x100 meter relay teams, helping propel the Gents to a runnerup showing with 89 points. Northwest won the meet with 103 points.
"I am happy with the wins, but I don't really think I ran that well today, especially in the 100," said Boutte. "The track is not real springy and I slipped practicing coming out the blocks before the race. I was scared to come out the blocks low because I might slip and not qualify so when the race started, I came out high and I had to catch up at the end."
Boutte caught up to North DeSoto's Curtis Carter, a football signee with TCU, and then edged him at the finish line in a time of 10.70.
Boutte also had some catching up to do in the 200 after entering the meet with the fourth - fastest time in that event.
Unlike the 100, however, the 200 was not as dramatic.
Boutte, running out of lane three, made up the distance in the curve and cruised to victory in a time of 22.01. His time of 21.68 that he posted earlier in the season is the fastest 200 time in Class AAA this year.
"I had to catch up coming out of the curve and then I just strided it out," said Boutte, who won the 200 by well over two meters.
Boutte joined Marquise Lee, Troy Wilridge and Henterrio Guidry to place second in the 4x200-meter relay in a time of 1:29.53 He also teamed with Wilridge, Guidry and Kristian Allen to place third in the 4x100 relay (43.23).
Crowley also scored in the field with three athletes moving on to state.
Devin Hebert placed second in the discus with a toss of 129-7 while Kaleb Cormier was third in the triple jump with a mark of 42-10. Joski Banks followed Cormier with a leap of 42-9 to earn an alternate spot at the state meet.
Calvin Lewis advanced to the state meet with a third-place showing in the shot put (48-2).
Freshman Mercedes Rogers was the lone CHS Lady to qualify; she had a third place finish in the 300-meter hurdles.
"We really felt like we had a chance to win this thing coming in," said CHS coach Wesley Jacobs. "Northwest did what they had to do and we just didn't have our best day today. We lost a total of 12 points just in the relays.
"But I'm happy as long as we keep getting better. It's not always about winning and losing. It's about getting this program back to what it used to be. We'll just keep plugging away."
The Class AAA state meet is scheduled for Saturday, May 8 at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium.
LAFAYETTE – Notre Dame and Rayne logged a handful of state qualifiers Wednesday at the Region II Track and Field Championships at UL's Cajun Track.
On the boy's side, Rayne finished No. 12 in the 21-team field with 14 points while Notre Dame was tied at No. 13 with Berwick and North Vermilion with 10 points each.
Rayne's Tyler Venable was the highest local finisher. He placed second in the javelin with a throw of 183-1. He will be joined at the state meet next week by teammate John Reynolds, who placed third in the 3200-meter run (10:35.25).
Notre Dame's lone state qualifier on the boy's side was D.J. Welter in the discus. Welter placed third in the event with a toss of 139-6.
On the girl's side, Rayne placed eighth with 26 points while Notre Dame was eleventh with 19.
Annie Simoneaux led the Lady Wolves by qualifying in two events. She won the javelin with a toss of 131-8 and placed second in the discus with a mark of 114-2.
Notre Dame's Mayme Cook advanced with a runnerup showing to Simoneaux in the javelin (131-0).
WELSH – Michael Primeaux paced the Midland Rebels to a third-place showing in the Region III, Class B Meet Wednesday by sweeping the distance events for the second straight year.
Primeaux won the 800 - (2:11.62), the 1600 - (4:52.19) and the 3200-meter runs (11:32.14) en route to being named the meet's Outstanding Track Performer.
Lacassine won the meet with 87 points and Bell City was second with 77. Midland followed with 73.
Midland's Colby Gantt, Miles Prejean and Chase Vincent also qualified for next week's state meet.
Gant placed second in the 200-meter dash (24.08) while Prejean was third in the discus (106-2) and Vincent was third in the 3200 (11:32.14).
Carisa Richard and Heley Guidry both qualified on the girl's side. Richard was third in the long jump (14-7) and Guidry was third in the triple jump (31-0 3/4).
Full Regional Results will be published in Sunday's edition of the Crowley Post-Signal

Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Their goal in the preseason was to become the first Wake Forest team since 1950-52 to have three straight winning seasons, and to be the first to go to three straight bowl games.
"We're almost there," linebacker Aaron Curry said. "... We've got our eyes on the prize. We're almost there."
The No. 21-ranked Demon Deacons took a major step in separating themselves from the rest of the Atlantic Division with their 12-7 win over Clemson on Thursday night, as Wake Forest is the only team in the division still unbeaten in league play.
"Of course it gives us an edge," receiver D.J. Boldin said. "Clemson was predicted to win the ACC at the beginning of the season. For us to come out and beat those guys, it was very major. We just put a big X on our chests. Clemson was projected to win, and every week somebody is losing, but right now this puts us in the driver's seat. It's going to make it harder for us week by week."
Wake Forest's defense has exceeded expectations, and for the second game this season (the other being Florida State) was a major factor in the game, particularly considering the team's inability to score touchdowns when inside the red zone. The Deacs got as close as the 5- and 2-yard lines and were unable to score, despite getting more out of their running game.
Wake Forest has back-to-back road tests at Maryland and Miami to finish the month, but those within the program know they're going to have to score more to maintain their lead in the league.
"It's good to be 2-0," quarterback Riley Skinner said. "It gives us a little bit of a cushion, but that cushion doesn't really mean anything. When you see every team beats everybody. We know that every game is going to be a challenge. Any team could turn it on and play lights out from here."

CHOU (Arabic: إذاعة الشرق الأوسط Idhā'at ash-Sharq al-'Awsaṭ ; French: Radio Moyen-Orient ; English: Middle East Radio) is a multilingual Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec. Its studios are located on de Meulles Avenue in the Cartierville section of Montreal.
Ownership and History[edit]
CHOU broadcasts on 1450 kHz with a power of 2,000 watts as a class C station, using an omnidirectional antenna. It was originally authorized to use only 1,000 watts; the power increase was implemented after being authorized in 2008.[1]
The station is owned and operated by 9015-2018 Québec inc., an independent company doing business under the name "Radio Moyen Orient du Canada". The broadcaster received approval to broadcast by the CRTC on March 15, 2006,[2] and began broadcasting on January 18, 2007. The AM signal replaces a previous SCMO (Subsidiary Communications Multiplex Operations) service located under the main carrier of CISM-FM.[3] The SCMO service went on the air in 1996.[4] The founder / owner and general manager of the station is Antoine (Tony) Karam.
The 1450 kHz frequency was previously used by CHEF, a station in Granby, approximately 60 km (37 mi) east of Montreal. That station stopped operations in 1996.[5]
On October 1, 2013, CHOU submitted an application to the CRTC for a new FM transmitter at St-Léonard, on the east end of Montreal Island, which was to operate at 104.5 MHz with 50 watts.[6] The application was denied by the CRTC on October 7, 2014, as they felt that there were no broadcasting deficiencies of the 1450 AM signal within its immediate broadcast area, which includes St-Léonard, in addition to interference concerns with CKDG-FM 105.1, and CBME-FM's 104.7 transmitter in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, on the west side of Montreal.[7][8] However, just 17 months later, on February 26, 2016, the CRTC reversed course and approved the transmitter application.[9][10]CHOU is currently broadcasting its signal on a FM retransmitter on the roof of the Sami Fruits store near Pie-IX Blvd, which covers only Eastern Montreal at a low power of 50 watts.
The station has a variety format which mainly targets the local Arabic community; most of its programming is accordingly done using the various Arabic dialects including:
- Lebanese dialect
- Syrian dialect
- Egyptian dialect
- Maghrebi Arabic dialects from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
The station regularly covers local, artistic and religious events for many MENA (Middle East and North Africa) communities in Quebec and Canada.
CHOU also carries news and discussion programming from Voice of Lebanon and Monte Carlo Doualiya.
CHOU also runs a two-hour weekly show in Armenian.
