The field of neuroscience has made startling discoveries in recent years that have transformed our understanding of the brain and nervous system and have influenced the advancement of medical technology and treatment. Less invasive techniques such as microscopes, lasers and focused radiation, as well as cutting-edge medical tools such as stents, shunts and radiosurgery, are changing the way some neurological disorders are treated. At Sinai, the use of these new diagnostic tools and advanced technology allow our team of neurosurgeons to provide comprehensive care, either surgical or non-surgical, for the benefit of the patient.
Board certified, specialty-trained neurosurgeons at Sinai offer consultative and surgical services for a broad range of neurological conditions, including:
Sinai's team of neurosurgeons emphasizes a team approach to the care of patients with neurological diseases and conditions. Specialists meet frequently to discuss each patient's treatment. When possible, conservative approaches such as injections, oral medications and physical therapy are emphasized. The most advanced diagnostic procedures and equipment are used, including MRI, CT scan, diagnostic injection procedures, myelography, ultrasound, EMG and nerve conduction studies.
Optimal results come from a blend of experience and technology. When surgery is indicated, Sinai Hospital offers a state-of-the-art neurosurgical operating suites with a dedicated neurosurgical OR team. Features include intraoperative neurologic monitoring, sophisticated microscopes, and the latest stereotactic surgical navigation equipment to precisely pinpoint lesions and minimize the difficulty and duration of surgery.
The highest level of post-operative care is provided in a modern intensive care unit staffed by physicians on site 24 hours a day. Patient care on the neurosurgical floors is optimized by a dedicated team of neurosurgical nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
Sinai Hospital is the only hospital in Maryland to offer the CyberKnife®. The CyberKnife® precisely locates the position of a tumor in the body and uses a high-energy X-ray source, mounted on a robotic arm, to deliver highly focused beams of radiation to the tumor. This targeted technique allows the maximum amount of radiation to reach the tumor while preventing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It gives physicians the ability to treat multiple tumors and lesions, some of which may have been diagnosed as inoperable, without making a single incision.
CyberKnife® is appropriate for:
Another brain cancer treatment offered at Sinai is the GliaSite Radiation Therapy System, an internal radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly at the site of a tumor from within the tumor cavity, while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Sinai neurosurgeons are also skilled in the insertion of chemotherapeutic (Gliadel) wafers into brain tumors.
The Spine Center at Sinai brings together specialists trained in neurosurgery, orthopedics, physiatry, radiology, physical therapy and interventional pain management to treat adults with degenerative and acute back and neck conditions resulting from trauma, illness or aging.
The Spine Center features a nine-bed inpatient unit, a dedicated physical therapy unit, as well as three spine-dedicated operating rooms housing the most advanced spine technology to manage and resolve spinal conditions. Each patient is assigned a primary care team – nurse, physical therapist and other support staff – who ensure that all needs are being met. A preoperative orientation and tour of the Spine Center at Sinai are offered to all patients.
Surgical procedures offered at Sinai's Spine Center include:
Sinai offers patients a seamless care plan that begins with accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment followed by recommendations for rehabilitation.
At the Sinai Rehabilitation Center, specialized services for neuro-rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury and stroke restore the patient to maximum function – physically, cognitively and psychologically. Treatment plans are designed around patient needs. Specialists address mobility, cognition, nutrition, communication, depression, injury prevention and behavior modification issues. Services include physical, occupation and speech therapies, as well as therapeutic recreation and relearning activities of daily living. Support groups provide information about care and recovery and also offer participants the opportunity to share with others facing similar circumstances.
Recognizing that pain management is critical to the success of any non-surgical or surgical approach, Sinai Hospital offers a full range of interventional pain management approaches and therapies.
The treatment plan may include one or more of the following:

Norris retires
One question has been debated for several years, regarding the coaching career of Ingomar's Norris Ashley. The long-time coach of the Falcons answered it on Monday, retiring from the school after 41 seasons, 43 overall in coaching. For the state's winningest basketball coach, this was an easy decision.
"Honestly, I made my mind up earlier this year," Ashley said on Wednesday. "During the season, I just realized that I'm getting old. You know, 43 years is a long time. I think the deciding factor was that we finished this season with a winning record. Because we were able to do that, I feel better about my decision."
Taking over for Ashley is his son, Jonathan, who has left his mark on Myrtle's program over the last six seasons. For the older Ashley, there is no other person he would want to see take his place in the gym that holds his nine state championship banners.
"I knew that whoever replaced me needed to have a great work ethic and be someone who will always put the players first," he said. "Jonathan will give them that chance to succeed and do everything to prepare them."
Ashley has had his share of ups and downs over the years, but in the end, the people he worked closely with and the kids made all the difference, and it is that group of people he is most thankful for.
"When I was hired, I was walked into the gym and told to do whatever I need to in order to be successful, 'he said. "That's great for me, because I was allowed to succeed or fail on my own. I've had such a fortunate situation with next to no interference, allowing me to do things my way. I've had great kids, who have worked hard over the years, so the whole picture, the kids, opposing coaches, even the referees, have made all of this great for me."
The news of Ashley's retirement came as a surprise to many former players. Ashley's influence was evident both on and off the court, as he instilled values that prepared his players for whatever path they chose. For two in particular, that road led to coaching.
"I'm honestly shocked to hear about this," Hickory Flat coach Michael Seger said. "You hear the rumor every year that he might retire, but for him to actually do it really surprised me, and it's hard for me to believe, because he's been on the sidelines at Ingomar my entire life. He is Ingomar basketball."
Seger was a member of Ashley's team from 1999-2003, winning a state championship and making an appearance in the state tournament each year. Because of the impact Ashley had on his career, Seger became a coach himself, now working with the Rebels.
"I saw the ability that one person has to make an impact on so many," Seger said. "Growing up, our goal was to play for Coach Ashley, and he taught us about hard work, giving our best effort in every aspect of the game. I try to use that in my every day life and just work hard in everything that I do, and I try to teach my own players that same thing."
Zach Carnell was a senior when Ingomar won its last state title in 2010. Now at Blue Mountain studying to become a coach, Carnell hopes to one day have the type of impact Ashley had on his life.
"He had a great way of pulling the best out of people. You'd start off your ninth grade year nervous and scared, and he just found a way to crush your fear and make you play your best. Not only that, but you respected him so much that you gave it your all," Carnell said. "I just hope one day that I can be half the coach he was and my players respect me like we've respected him."
Carnell shared in Seger's shock at the announcement, and is proud to have shared in a championship with the coach.
"I figured he would coach until he died, I guess, but I'm glad to have been a part of his last one [championship]. He definitely made a mark in my life," Carnell said. "I hope we were as big of a part in his life as he was in ours. I know I think about that championship every day, and I'll always remember it."
Steven Foster will graduate from Ingomar next month and was the sole senior for the Falcons last season. While he was surprised of Ashley's retirement, he took time to reflect on what he has learned as well as offer advice to his former teammates.
"He's had a positive influence on my game. He's always pushed me to do my best, inspired me to try harder. I'm sad to see him retire," Foster said. "As far as Coach Jonathan coming here, I'd tell my teammates to just respect him; give him the respect he deserves and treat him the same way they treat Coach Ashley. Just try hard and work to be successful next year."
Jonathan takes over at Ingomar
When Jonathan Ashley graduated from Ingomar, his thoughts were not on coaching, rather on studying law. It was not until years later that he found his calling to coach, and his road began as an assistant for his father at Ingomar before going to Myrtle in 2006.
"I had a 4.0 and enjoyed that, but then I realized that I didn't want to just do research and be in an office," Jonathan said. "I knew getting into coaching, that I would approach it like anything else, and that's to try and be the best at it. There's no way to even be comparable to what daddy's done, and I was okay with that. Given the success he's had the last 41 years at Ingomar, no one can replace him, but they have to have a coach. I feel like I will do as good of a job as I can, and that's all you can ask."
Over his six year tenure with the Hawks, Jonathan guided the team to five straight state tournament appearances, four consecutive north half championships and an overall record of 139-50. Leaving the team he has had so much success with is not easy, but he hopes for nothing but the best for the program.
"It was tough leaving Ingomar six years ago, coming over here, and I was only an assistant coach then," he explained. "You get attached to the kids, and unfortunately from their standpoint, they don't understand all of it. It's hard to figure out what's best for you family."
"I'll always hope they're successful. You'll always care for them and want the best for them, regardless of whether you're coaching them or not. It will be difficult when Myrtle and Ingomar play. I'll be the one out there that's coached all of them, but that's the tough part."
With the success his son has had over the last six years, Ashley feels the timing is perfect for him to step in, and he is now looking forward to his new role: being a fan.
"Myrtle was great for him, because he was able to start there and prove that he can be a winning coach," Ashley said. "What he did for those kids over that five-year span has never been done at that school. He's proven to be one of the best young coaches in the area. In the end, his first love is Ingomar, and he will bleed red, white and blue."
We'll find out how well I handle being a fan now. I'm sure I'll be out there, criticizing the coaches and acting crazy, like I'm sure people have done to me all of these years."

During a session at the SXSW conference today on the future of TV, MSNBC.com's executive editor Richard Wolffe interviewed the network's on-air anchor Thomas Roberts about a range of topics including the "nasty shit" that people write to him on the Internet.
MSNBC, of course, is a product of the larger NBC-Universal operation of Comcast (CMCSA).
While avoiding the acid remarks from anonymous posters, Roberts said he was enthusiastic about the give and take on Facebook (FB) and other venues regarding hot topics such as the "Defense of Marriage Act." (He's married, and in favor of "marriage equality.")
Wolffe observed that people love to share with friends, and so building a social network is essential for MSNBC, to be "a digital version of people gathering together in groups where they can share things in their own way." Hence, the proliferation of "share" buttons on every piece of content
Wolffe, asked about how the site and the channel will take interactive further, said "there is a lot in the works," and that for his part, for the moment, Thomas is focusing on things such as Twitter (TWTR) interactions, often as a follow-on to an on-air segment.
Roberts noted that it "remains untapped, how exactly you want to consume the content we produce, it remains an unwritten chapter to figure all that out" given that post-Gen X young people peruse content in a "totally different manner."
Wolffe said, however, MSNBC.com has "a number of great ideas" about further integration of channel and site, so "stay tuned."
Wolffe pointed out that while there are lots of potential ad formats, actually things move slowly in the ad world in terms of embracing new models, in large part because ad buyers and their clients move slowly.
"I'll be honest with you, a lot of the agency conversations are pretty basic. And it's not just the agencies, it's also the clients. Getting clearance even for basic ads is pretty hard."
"We had plenty of creative spaces that we designed up, but we have found it difficult to find agencies that are ready to build out those spaces."
Still, he emphasized that MSNBC has a powerful national brand that's valuable.
"People who follow us have a tremendous emotional connection to us that is well ahead of that of Apple and Nike, so I think there's a ton of work we can do, we're really exhibited, and we're looking for partners."
Wolffe said there is a "real connection" between the practice of people "liking" a segment on, say, Facebook, and clicking through to all the videos and other materials on the site. He said about a third of MSNBC.com traffic is coming from social networks. "I just don't have the breakdown for you right now."
An audience member asked how important it is to monetize engagement. Wolffe said executives at MSNBC definitely wanted to know about when and how it will happen, but Thomas concurred with the implication of the question, namely that the "bread and butter are TV commercials for now."
Audience development is a key part of interactive, said Wolffe, but "how you monetize it…the obvious way is CPMs through digital video pre-rolls, but there's so much more we can do in terms of smart marketing."
Wolffe noted strong ratings for TV were helped by audiences maintaining a "strong relationship with MSNBC throughout the day," although "it is difficult to quantify at this point; we know digital has cemented our audience, but it is early days now."
Thomas offered that today's kids may never have a TV set, but rather tablets only. "The work that Richard and his team are doing is future-proofing the content we have now. I'm worried, I'll be quite honest with you, are we going to go the way of Ma Bell?" citing the phenomenon of telephone "cord cutters."
Wolffe added there are a lot of "skimmers" who surf the site without being regular viewers of the TV network. He said MSNBC is able to tell who is such a skimmer, versus a loyalist, though he declined to offer numbers for the two groups.
The thing is, it's "quite complex" because there are people coming in the door who just get referred by a link from a friend. "Whether we can actually convert them to TV is a question and whether we want to, is a more strategic question. Do we need to convert them to TV? We can have a very happy relationship with someone who never watches what we call a TV. By the nature of our size, we are reaching people beyond the TV audience."
But again, Wolffe wouldn't say how many people MSNBC.com is reaching, joking "I've been told not to!" share the numbers.

LiverKick.com Podcast - Week of Dec. 18
- Published in LK Podcast
Rian Scalia (@rianscalia) and myself (@LiverKickdotcom / @LocustStar) go ahead and sit down to discuss what our hopes are for the year 2012 in the Kickboxing world. After a rather slow week we decided to slow things down and take a look at what we want, formatting-wise and for each division in FIKA's K-1 World Grand Prix season. With the three divisions being -63kg, -70kg and +100kg, we look at how certain countries are over-populated with elite talent while others will be lacking. We look at the format of the 32 best in the world and ask the question of will there really only be one fighter per country, or will they be making acceptions?
We wish you a happy holiday and will be back with another episode after the holidays.

An October surprise for these workers. Dow Chemical is closing 20 of its plants laying off 2400 workers. Kimberly Clark closing 5 plants , laying off 1500 jobs (due to weakness in Europe) Dupont laying off 1500 workers. Corning said Wednesday that it will likely cut costs, which may include "modest" job cuts, to support profit in a weakening economy. Newell Rubbermaid plans to cut more than 1,900 jobs, or about 10 percent of its worldwide workforce, over the next two and a half years.

WIAA Scholar Athlete Award ceremony held Sunday
Koch, Friemuth honored
Wausau, Wis. - Wisconsin's 32 top scholar athletes from public and nonpublic high schools have been selected by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association. Sixteen senior girls and 16 senior boys from Waukesha to Superior achieved the top combined classroom and sports performances during their four years in high school to be selected as finalists for the prestigious 30th annual 2013 WIAA Scholar Athlete Award underwritten by Marshfield Clinic.
To determine the top 32 finalists, four boys and four girls are selected from each of four WIAA divisions based on both athletic and academic achievement. Seventeen of this year's 32 WIAA Scholar Athlete finalists have a grade point average of 4.0 to date, while the average GPA is 3.90. All 32 scholar athlete finalists earned a total of 299 letters (an average of 9 letters per athlete) during their first 3-1/2 years of high school.
The 32 scholar athlete finalists were chosen from among 750 seniors nominated by more than 375 high schools in the state. Every year since 1984, each of the WIAA-member high schools has been invited to nominate one boy and one girl for the WIAA Scholar Athlete award. The average grade point of all Wisconsin student athletes nominated this year was 3.84, and 144 of the nominated student athletes had perfect 4.0 GPAs.WIAA Scholar Athlete Award ceremony held Sunday
Locally, Willie Freimuth of Waunakee and Hailey Koch of Fall River were honored at the event. Both are the first from their respective schools to receive the honor.

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Todd Ripley,
Thank you very much. I found their site no problem. I really liked the idea of having a standing platform, and a rock solid frame. Not to mention the price was dang good! Anyway, i gave them a call this afternoon to further investigate their nine-footers. Due to the weight (100lbs.), I'm not going with the Black Bear Company. Thanks anyway!
As of now, I've been doing my research and have desided to go with one of the Bucks Bags Extreme 9's (although it's not yet written in stone). I called numerous shops, spoke to several owners, the company itself, and have done my forum duty (on several other websites as well.). I emailed Creek Co. also, but was disapointed in the construction and slightness of the frame. I suppose my ideal boat would be the Stealheader Osprey, but at $1500 it's a bit steep for a first 'toon. Thank you again for all of you help!
I appreciate your offer, but have decided to go with a newer model that has the warrantee. Thanks anyway!
Thank you also, but I have decided on a different company.
|Todd Ripley
Oops...didn't realize I was busting some rules!
Is is just the link, or the name of the company, that ran me afoul? Would it be appropriate to e-mail it instead?
Sorry, and thanks!
Fish on...
|Todd Ripley
Try this company out...
URL replaced - Black Bear Co. (sorry Todd, policy is policy)
Go to "boat packages" and scroll to the bottom...they've got the entire package with all the options on their nine footers on sale now for $750. I would have bought it, but I wanted a ten footer so that I could put a two seat frame on it...I think the nine footers are too short for that.
The Black Bears are also very whitewater ready.
Fish on...
Hmmm... food for thought. Still, the pontoon boat has retained my interest.
Todd Ripley, I'm drooling! really, that's beautiful. I checked out the steeheaders but they'er a bit pricey for me. Oh well. It still looks as if the bronco is my best option. I should just start saving.
|Todd Ripley
Here's the new (to me) pontoon I'll be buying later this month...it's built on X-Stream ten foot pontoons, with a Skookum Steelheader frame. It's previous owner, besides buying a very quality frame and pontoons, did a lot of custom work on it, as you can see. I've got a few more modifications that I'll be making to it, as well.
I rarely fish lakes, but I'll use it when I do, at least if I have to paddle very far...I've got a couple U-boats and float tubes for that kind of fishing. This boat is rated for up Class IV+ rapids, will be very nice on the rivers I fish (Sauk, Sol Duc, etc.).
Finally, I think it will just fit in the back of my van without being taken down...but even if it doesn't, I can either put it on the 13 foot rack on the roof, or take the 'toons off and stick them and the frame in the van, if I'm travelling more than an hour or so.
Fish on...

Watermaster is indeed a sponsor of ours, and Sean Ransom who was our hotshot admin for years (now Speypages admin) owns one and really loves it. Also, our sponsor Rod Builder's Workshop carries them and the owner (Smitty) loves them and uses them all over creation for his fishing adventures. I recall some pictures of him on the Skykomish River on it... (worth a search)
I have yet to try one but since you've reminded me of it's virtues and compromise between the two designs (belly boat / pontoon boat) I am definitely going to try one out.
Another option
I have a Watermaster, which I purchased used when in Montana one summer. It differs from pontoon boats in that it is a frameless raft, half of which is open bottom thru which you stick your legs and fins. I've used it extensively up on the Main Delaware for about six years. It weighs, believe it or not, under 20 pounds because there is no metal, and I bought the lightweight model, which is nonetheless as tough as any pontoon out there -- Bucks, ODC, Scadden, JW Outfitters, etc. It has real advantages and disadvantages, as follows.
Pros -- lightweight; extremely maneuverable; sit a little lower in the water (so less wind resistance); can stand up and wade with it hanging around your legs; folds up very small; very quick set up time (5-10 minutes max).
Cons -- expensive; doesn't track as well as a bigger pontoon (it's 8 feet long); lower in the water is a less helpful in casting.
I love the thing, because I live in a NYC apt. but it is definitely a compromise as all these things are. By the way, I do have an anchor system and do anchor in mellow moving water (like softer runs and pools in the Delaware).
Don't know if they're a sponsor, but you can find it by searching "watermaster kick boats" on Google. Good luck.
Juro -- I've toyed with using this thing on the Cape, but I wouldn't want to mess with those Barnstable tides ....
Not sure I understand the Q but an anchor only works when you are attached to it. You lower it when you want to stay put, you retreive it when you want to row.
You can use kick fins but don't try it in moving water. Your feet are important maneuvering tools against the bottom in a river and kick fins render them useless and you put yourself in danger.
Kick fins on a lake are nice and are compatible with the oars. The oars get you moving so fast you leave a wake, the kick fins are like low thrust adjustments to steering but don't really do much locomotion because you are so high up.
They work nice together I suppose you could use your fins to counter the wind, but for me it was more work than I care to do while fishing so I would either drop an anchor or drag a windsock.
Again, the ideal application of these designs is as a one-man drift boat for traversing rivers with the current up to class III.
|I have a couple more questions. With what kind of wind does it become very impractical? Compared to a canoe, how does it handle wind? How do you properly use an anchor to prevent too much drifting; do you leave it in the water while rowing? How effective are kick-fins in propelling a 'toon such as the bronco? I guess my major concern would be associated with drifting, and if it would really make fishing lakes a drag.
Sorry somehow missed your first post...
I am a happy owner of the Buck's Bag bronco, purchased well over 10 years ago while I was in Seattle and it's still going strong. It's floated big rivers like the Skykomish and Skagit, and taken trout on Henry David Thoreau's Walden Pond here in ol' New England. It's even taken me out to islands and shoals on Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic coastline on Cape Cod! But wash it thoroughly after any exposure to salt of course.
The newer broncos are even better, and it's a great solution to drifting rivers solo as if you had a driftboat.
For lakes, you get blown around alot because it's high and dry. Float tubers would comment on how nice it must be to (a) paddle fast where they can't and (b) take a nature break where they have to do a long paddle to shore as they are half underwater as it is. But they are anchored in the wind where the pontoon needs a drift sock to hold it's place.
An anchor is a good option for lakes but DO NOT ANCHOR A PONTOON BOAT IN A RIVER unless it's one of those big expedition sized setups.
The notion of fitting into a suitcase is a stretch... I always have so much fishing gear that it would be impractical, and it would add another 45-50 # to the weight total. For travel, I would suggest a frameless inflatable kayak instead. Some are very light and make for practical travel boats. I don't see the bronco as being a travel unit personally but I guess that's really up to the beholder. If you have modern jet service to the destination it's only a matter of paying the excess baggage fee. If you have actual limits like a prop plane to the Bahamas, well then the bronco would be out of the running.
It's ideal application is as a one-man drift boat for up to class III waters. It also makes a fantastic vehicle for crossing fast current channels in saltwater or fresh. It's a nice lake boat for days without wind but you'd need something to slow your drift in wind.
I'll sell you mine for $350 as is if you are interested.
|I just wanted to update this (although it hardly been long). I am now more seriously considering a Buck Bronco Extreme 9. I found it for roughly $750. Any comments or ideas on this?
Small inflatable pontoon boats: Advice needed!
I have been searching for an appropriate, small (8-9ft.) pontoon boat, preferably not exceeding $500. I will be fishing ponds, small-medium sized lakes and floating parts of various rivers. It is also important that it is light; I'd prefer it to be at or under 55lbs. In searching so far, Creek Company has had the most appeal to me, and I am concidering two of their models, the ODC JetPack and the ODC XL9. Has anybody had experience with either of these two models or other small pontoon boats from Creek Company? Also, what other reputable companies are out that I should know about? And of course, I would appreciate any other input or advice from past experiences, hearing certain prefernces or any othe advice in general. I should also mention that I could pick up a 20lb fiberglass canoe for about the same amount mentioned above (although I would have no mode of transportaion)! Thanks in advance!

|Exploration gathers information about the unknown. This information can come in many forms, from knowledge of new terrain, to rock geology, to lifeforms. The value of these different information forms to an explorer is determined by a set of information metrics, one for each form of information, that depend on the goal of the exploration task. As explorations become more complex, increasing numbers of information metrics must be considered in order to succeed. These multiple information metrics must be considered simultaneously during exploration and often conflict with each other to compete for the finite resources of the explorer. Exploration also involves making decisions, based on the collected information, to test hypotheses and collect more information in an efficient manner. This thesis introduces a new exploration technique which actively considers how much information can be gained from taking sensor readings as well as the cost of collecting this information. The methodology can consider multiple metrics of information simultaneously - such as finding new terrain and identifying rock type - as it explores and these information metrics can be easily changed to perform new and different exploration tasks. The method considers the costs, such as driving, sensing and planning times, associated with collecting the information. Exploration plans are produced which maximize the utility, information gain minus exploration costs, to the exploring robot. The multiple information metric exploration planner is used to solve two exploration problems: creating traversability maps and exploring cliffs. These tasks are performed in simulation and the information gain and exploration path lengths are compared as the information metrics are changed. The multiple information metric exploration planner is further demonstrated in a field experiment to explore a cliff, starting at the cliff top the planner found a route to the bottom and collected sensor information from the face of the cliff.

Every year, a considerable volume of softwood lumber is used in residential, commercial and industrial construction in the United States. The lumber is used either as primary framing members, temporary scaffolding, or decorative finish. When purchasing lumber, the buyer must realize that certain grades of lumber are intended for specific uses.
For example, there are specific grades of lumber to be used as scaffolding. Scaffold planking has very specific requirements that are not met by most lumber. This publication will explain the basic divisions of softwood lumber and their intended uses.
To most people, softwood means wood from trees like pines, cedars, redwood, firs, hemlocks, etc. (evergreens). This is correct, but there is at least one instance when a hardwood (aspen) is placed in this broad category. In some circumstances, aspen is graded the same as softwood construction lumber, which means that it can be used in construction.
It is also important to remember that when people refer to a 2 x 4, the actual size of this piece of material is something less than 2 inches by 4 inches. These sizes are commonly referred to as nominal dimensions; this means in name only. The actual dimensions are usually going to be less. This applies to most softwood lumber. But there are always exceptions (such as scaffold plank).
Now let's look at some ways of classifying softwood lumber. One method is by its intended use; either in construction (houses, etc.) or remanufacture into other products (furniture, millwork, etc.). Construction lumber is graded based on the assumption that it is going to be used in the same size in which it was produced. If the lumber is going to undergo significant changes in its shape, size, appearance, etc., before it is sold as a product, it is called remanufacture lumber. Because many of these uses are very specific to a certain industry (stiles and rails for doors, crossarms for utility poles, etc.), they will not be discussed in this publication.
Lumber also can be classified by size. Softwood lumber usually is manufactured in lengths of 2-foot multiples (8,10, and 12 on up to 24 foot), although it can be made in 1-foot increments. It also is usually between 2 and 16 inches in width. Lumber less than 2 inches in nominal thickness is referred to as boards. When the nominal thickness is more than 2 inches and less than 5 inches, it is referred to as dimension lumber. Lumber 5 inches or more in nominal thickness is referred to as timbers. Softwood lumber also can be classified based on whether it is rough-sawed, planed, or patterned. Rough-sawed lumber has all the saw marks still visible and has not been surfaced to a final dimension. Most lumber that people buy for construction and framing is planed to its final dimensions (all the sides are smooth). This lumber is also referred to S4S, surfaced 4 sides. Patterned lumber has had something extra done to it. Perhaps a tongue-and-groove pattern has been machined into the sides.
Within this category, softwood lumber is classified in three ways: stress-graded, non-stress-graded, and appearance lumber. Almost all softwood dimension lumber found in a typical retail/wholesale lumberyard is stress-graded. This means that there should be a grade stamp on the piece and a set of allowable design stresses assigned to that grade of lumber. The American Softwood Lumber Standard, PS 20-70, provides a National Grading Rule for dimension lumber (from 2 up to but not including 5 inches in nominal thickness). Special products such as scaffold planks are excluded from these rules (they have their own rules).
The national grading rules establish lumber classifications and grade names for the visually stress-graded lumber as shown in Table 1.
Table 1National Grading Rule lumber classes
These grades are based on the assumption that the lumber is going to be used as is with no remanufacturing. In other words, the grade assigned to a 12-foot 2 x 4 is based on the location and size of defects over the entire length. grades themselves are based on location, size and placement of knots, slope of grain, manufacturing defects, wane, warp and other factors that must be considered. Within each grade, there is a ane of values that are allowed. Thus, not all stud grade studs are exactly the same in appearance, but they all have the same structural design capabilities.
Figure 1Sample grade stamp.
The grade assigned to an individual piece of dimension lumber is stamped on each piece about 18 to 24 inches from the end. It is called a grade stamp, and for lumber graded under PS 20, it must contain certain information. A sample grade stamp is shown in Figure 1. This stamp contains the following information:
In the U.S., there are six associations that publish grade rules: Redwood Inspection Service (R1S), Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association (NELMA), Northern Hardwood and Pine Manufacturers Association (NHPMA), Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB), West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau (WCLB), and Western Wood Products Association (WWPA). Several other agencies are licensed to use these grade rules and apply stamps of their own (there is a similar set-up in Canada, and their rules are essentially the same as ours).
Moisture contentOf all the aspects of the grade stamp, this may be the most confusing to consumers. When a log is sawed into lumber, the wood contains very large amounts of water. Wood is much like a sponge in that regard. If we wring the sponge out, the sponge is relatively dry. You wring the water out of the wood by drying the wood. The weight of the water that you "wring out of the wood" divided by the oven-dry weight of the wood is the fractional moisture content. Multiply this by 100 and you have the moisture content expressed as a percent. The oven-dry condition is 0 percent moisture content. Typically, freshly cut logs have moisture contents of 80 to 150 percent, depending on the species of wood.
After the lumber is sawed into whatever sizes are desired, the wood is dried. Lumber is dried for several purposes. These include reducing the risk of insect or fungal damage, reducing shipping weight (and therefore shipping costs), controlling the amount of shrinkage that takes place, and making gluing and finishing more feasible. Notice that drying only controls shrinkage; it does not eliminate the fact that wood shrinks and swells in response to changes in the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Under the National Grading Rule, there are three moisture content conditions: S-GRN, S-DRY, and MC 15. S-GRN (surfaced green) means that the moisture content is above 19 percent. Most lumber is probably dried to the S-DRY (surfaced dry) condition. This means that the moisture content is less than 19 percent. MC15 means that the moisture content is less than 15 percent. Remember, this is the moisture content at the time the grade stamp has been applied at the mill, not after the lumber has sat in a puddle of water for two months!
Species and species groupsDimension lumber is the principal stress-graded lumber product available at most retail lumberyards. This lumber probably will be used where strength, stiffness and size uniformity are important. Floor joists, ceiling and roof rafters, and studs are common examples. Although there are many sizes and species of material produced, not every lumberyard stocks every item. A lumberyard usually will have only the most commonly requested items in stock in a few species groups. "Hem-fir," "S-P-F" and "DF-L" are typical species that you might find. Hem-fir stands for western hemlock and true firs. These woods are very similar in strength and appearance and it is not economical to separate them. S-P-F represents spruce-pine-fir, a common grouping for some of the eastern softwoods. DF-L refers to Douglas fir and western larch. In each of these cases, the stress rating applied to a given grade is based on the weakest species in the group.
Since the Redwood Inspection Service and Southern Pine Inspection Bureau grade only redwood and southern pine respectively, their grade stamps do not have a species designation. Southern pine is actually lumber obtained from several pines found primarily south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Sometimes referred to as "southern yellow pines," the principal species used are loblolly, shortleaf, longleaf and slash pine. In some areas, Virginia pine is used. The wood of these species is virtually identical in appearance and very similar in strength properties.
Under the WWPA rules, there is a species grouping referred to as "Western woods." Some mills produce lumber from several different species. It may not be economical for that mill to separate out each individual board by species. These mills can apply the species symbol for western woods, an all-encompassing term, to their lumber. The stress ratings are based on the weakest species in all the western woods, even though much of the lumber will be much stronger.
Grading agencyRIS and SPIB publish rules for California redwood and southern pine respectively. NELMA publishes rules for species found in the New England and Middle Atlantic States while NHPMA covers those species found in the lake states. WWPA provides coverage for the 13 western states while WCLB covers the Pacific Coast states. Obviously, there is some overlap between the various agencies.
Dense included in the grade. This has to do with the growth rate and the amount of latewood (also known as springwood). Remember, these are the grades permitted under the National Softwood Grading Rule.
There is a grade of lumber known as Economy that is not permitted under these rules. Lumber with this grade stamp on it usually is not permitted for use in load-bearing walls, roofs, etc., in areas where there are building codes. If you plan to use this material, check with your local building inspectors first.
Mill identificationMills and companies pay for the right to place a given grading agency's grade stamp on their lumber. When the mill subscribes, they are assigned an identification number by that agency. No other mill or company may use that number without permission. Some companies stamp their name or trademark on the lumber as well. This is primarily done for advertising purposes.
When you go to your local retail lumberyard, remember that the grade was placed on the lumber at the mill — not at the store! The grade is placed on the lumber for the protection of both the consumer and the producer. If you have questions about which grade of lumber to use, ask the salesperson.

Inside The Eagles-Dolphins Match-up
By: Alexander Alvarez
The Philadelphia Eagles will roll into Sun Life Stadium holding the same 4-8 record as the Miami Dolphins but the record for both these teams is only the beginning of the story. In the off-season one could have easily said the Eagles were Super Bowl contenders, snatching up free agents Ronnie Brown, Vince Young, Nmanmdi Asomugha, and receiving Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie via trade for Kevin Kolb, with all these moves and more the Eagles were early favorites to make it all the way to the Super Bowl but since then self-proclaimed "Dream Team" has had an up and down season that has a lot of people wondering if the focus this off season should have gone elsewhere. As for the Miami Dolphins their biggest off season moves were getting running back Reggie Bush from the Saints via trade, signing quarterback Matt Moore and linebacker Kevin Burnett, and all three of the moves proven to have been very valuable.
Through the eyes of the players and coaches
• Reggie Bush
(On being surprised the Eagles are 4-8 despite the talent) – "I mean, not really because knowing this game and knowing how quickly you can be humbled. It doesn't matter how much talent you have individually on a team. It takes a team to win some games. So it doesn't surprise me. I know they've got great players on the team and they're a really good team, but I've been in that position before where we've had a great lineup, great roster. But you have to play together well as a team and which also the reason why we are 4-8."
(On what have you've seen from Philadelphia's defensive line and linebackers?) – "They're a fast defense. A little undersized, but they're fast. They move around quick. They can do a good job creating pressure on the quarterback starting with the defensive ends. So we have to do a good job at maintaining that and dominating upfront and controlling them the whole game. The running backs got to get chip blocks on the D-ends. And just do a good job at making sure Matt (Moore) has a enough time back there to throw the ball and when he do that he's an effective quarterback. He plays well. We just got to make sure it an emphasis that we protect him."
• Matt Moore
(On what he sees in the Eagles secondary and defense) – "Well obviously they've got two corners that have been around for a while, good player, you know what I mean. You have to know, kind of where they are at if you will at all times. Asante (Samuel) is a guy has made a lot of big plays and then Nnamdi (Asomugha) is a guy that is not afraid to in receivers face and jam, he'll run with you and so those are good guys. I know their safeties, they're aggressive guys. Make some plays in the back end and real aggressive in the run game as well and they make plays that way. The front seven, just kind of non-stop guys, especially their front four, they come off the edge hard and tons of speed so we need to be aware of that. I know our offensive line will do a good job with that, but they have got some players. The way they play is just really aggressive and so it's going to be a challenge. We've got a good plan we just need to execute.
• Coach Tony Sparano
(On the challenges of facing Michael Vick) -"Obviously a tough challenge, the guy creates like not too many people that I've been around or played against and I've played against him several times. The hard challenge with him is there's a fine line when you don't know when he's about to run it or when he's about to throw it over your head. You can kind of get caught, if you don't trust your eyes you can get caught kind of peaking a little bit. And I think all of a sudden as soon as bite on him the ball ends up over your head. And that's why this team has got the number of big plays that they have right now. They have a tremendous amount of big plays. They lead the National Football League in 20-plus yard runs. I think they have 29. They have chunk plays in the pass games largely due to what he does outside of the pocket. So we got to do a good job of keeping him in the pocket but more importantly plastering receivers, staying on the receivers as the play breaks down."
Defenses by the Numbers
• The Eagles 2nd ranked running game (157.1 yds/game) will face off the Dolphins 5th ranked run defense (93.2 yds/game)
• Miami has 9 INT's this season (at least 1 in each of the last 4 games)
• Eagles have thrown a total of 17 INT's in their losses (at least 1 INT in the last 5 games)
• Eagles' Defense has 11 INT, with the back field consisting of Asante Samuel (2 INT) Nmamdi Asomugha (3 INT) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (0 INT)
Miami Dolphins Offense
• Reggie Bush last week surpassed his previous carrier high in rushing yards 581, and is now at 667 for the season, also he has at least 1 TD in the last 4/5 games.
• Daniel Thomas has 504 yards this season so far and is averaging 3.46 yards/carry since his return.
• Matt Moore has 4 TD's and 0 INT's in the last 3 games
Philadelphia Eagles Offense
• LeSean McCoy has 1134 yards this season with 12 TD
• DeSean Jackson since week 5 at Buffalo has only 3 games over 50 yards
• Jeremy Maclin is averaging 68 yards per game in the 9 games that he has played
What to look for on Sunday
Look for both teams to be playing at a high level despite what the records say. The Eagles running game will be put to the test vs. the much improved Dolphins defense. It's going to be an interesting matchup watching the two headed monster that is Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas go up against the Eagles 17th ranked run defense, look for big games out of the wide receivers despite the fact they are going up against all-pro caliber corners who have had their struggles tackling this season. Darkhorses present themselves in rookies Clyde Gates and Charles Clay.
This will also be Michael Vick's first start since missing 3 games so look for the rust to be there and the Dolphins defense to exploit that. No matter what anybody tells you about these two teams and what their records are you can be sure of one thing, that they will both be playing with plenty of intensity and at the end of the day one team will leave this game 5-8 and the other at 4-9 and a lot more than just the sour taste of defeat in their mouths.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: It's That Same Old Song Again (I Hate It 'Cause It's True)
Of course, the smart play was to ease onto the ridge, let the bird calm down and patiently wait for something to happen. But after getting whipped by the morning gobbler and the twice-boogered turkey, I felt the urge to make something happen.
Scott and I crept toward the point, slipped through a narrow gap and emerged on the other side of the finger ridge. I pointed out a good place to set up, but Scott didn't seem to notice. He was too busy watching the gobbler run out of the woods, across a field and probably into the next county.
And that's the story of the turkey we subsequently nicknamed "Three-Bump."
What decision did you make?

I'm posting this from our booth at WinHEC in Seattle, having just seen the keynote by Bill Gates. There's lots of cool technology and devices, but overall I got the sense of a totalitarian vision, no more so than in the "FlexGo" initiative designed for developing countries, in which people don't buy so much as rent PC's, and rely on a DRM-mode access control system that shuts the computer off if they don't pay.
A lot of the stuff they showed at the keynote has to do with reducing the amount of manual configuration necessary. A lot of Windows Rally seems to be playing catch-up with Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous, and closely related to zeroconf, which is slowly but surely getting implemented in the free space). I think there's a lot of potential in this space, especially for first-principles research digging into the question of how much manual configuration is truly needed, as opposed to piling hack upon hack.
Even though this is a Windows-centric conference, there are some developers who really grok the cross-platform and open source worlds. One app (which has asked not to be named) uses WxWidgets, and they're even considering OCaml. One of the main things holding them back from that would be the wx bindings, which currently only exist in very crude form. That's got me thinking again about choice of languages, and I'll probably be blogging about that. Among other things, I should take another look at wx to see whether it's Good Enough(tm) to build the cross-platform GUI stuff I need, or whether I should keep going with my own very lightweight C abstraction layer (check out the darcs repo if you want to play with it).
High DPI
One of the features promised for Vista is support for high-dpi displays. In the December beta of Vista, I played with setting the dpi to 192, and the results were terrible - in many cases, fonts were scaled doubly, once by being sensitive to the dpi setting, and again by the compatibility-mode scaling. The February beta was a lot better, so it's possible that it will kinda sorta work by the time Vista ships. That said, Samsung is here showing their family of flat panels, and none of their panels push dpi past what was widely available a couple years ago.
Apple has also been making various noises about high-dpi applications, most notably David Hyatt's blog entry on high-dpi web sites. There are all kinds of crufty ways of detecting whether the browser is high-dpi, based on CSS3 selectors and so on, but there's no clean simple way to do it.
David obviously can't say much about Apple's future product plans, but you can probably read between the lines when he mentions his Dell laptop with 1900x1200 (145dpi) resolution, not to mention the fact that he's working on this stuff at all. Apple is in a good position to innovate here - it would fit the pattern they set with 802.11, FireWire, combo drives, and more than a few other things.

Former Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey has questioned whether Christian Benteke can recreate his impressive 2012-13 form elsewhere.
The Belgian forward scored 19 goals in 34 appearances in his debut Premier League campaign for Villa, but recently handed in a transfer request with Chelsea and Tottenham thought to be interested in his services.
However, Heskey, who ended a four-season spell at Villa Park by joining Australian side Newcastle Jets in 2012, is not convinced that the 22-year-old will be able to have as big an impact during his second season in England.
"Benteke's handed in a transfer request so that's going to be very interesting. He's a young lad who has ended up fourth on the goalscoring charts so he's had a great season," he said.
"Everyone is comparing him to (Didier) Drogba, so you don't know if there's a little comparison there.
"It's going to be difficult for him whoever he goes to. With only one season under your belt and within the best league in the world, can you cope with it season-after-season? Only time will tell."
Benteke proved one of the bargains of the season for Villa, arriving for £7 million from Genk and playing a huge role in Paul Lambert's side avoiding relegation.
It is thought the Midlands club would now only accept offers of around £25m for the Belgium international.

@malc-c What FTDI are you using? Also, it is possible you have the RX and TX swapped. It will not hurt anything to try swapping those leads.
ignore the ISP connections, I've just used the serial connection shownand yes I've tried DTR connected via the 0.1uf capacitor, and without - It doesn't get that far to reset the chip
Having investigated this a bit, it seems that the problem is because the Optiboot loader resets the ATMega328 when the serial port is opened. When avrdude is started up to program the slave chip it firsts opens the serial port then tries immediately to write to it. The initial comms fail because the chip has reset and, whilst in the bootloader, isn't actually responding to the STK500 protocol.

I have a chice cause i have to pay for a plane ticket for CIII. I pay for plane, CIII, CIII stuff, and hotel. Or every ROTS fig I cant choose
I have a chice cause i have to pay for a plane ticket for CIII. I pay for plane, CIII, CIII stuff, and hotel. Or every ROTS fig I cant choose
For what it's worth, in my opinion, the toys will always be around. CIII will happen once. You may have to delay obtaining the figures, but you can't go back in time to enjoy CIII. Plus, inevitably the figures (most of them) will probably go on clearance so in the end, you'll wind up saving money. You may have to pay a slight premium on the occasional special figure or hard to find item, but in the end, it should balance itself out with the clearance sales.
Do as you will.
ME? I'm not going. But have a good time.Originally Posted by Halofanatic
O cause im in cali too, and it adds up with a plane and hotel and car
I agree with teh sentiment above that the figures will still be there. About the only ones you may have a problem find are the clones, so get some of those on 4/2 and save the rest for after C3.
Also agree with the statement that these figs will go on sale eventually and you can pick them up for cheap.
Move along, move along
I think it depends on what kind of a fan you are, some fans are more into the toys and would rather have a physical item to reflect upon their money spent, others are more about enjoying the event and the camaraderie and seeing the live features. I've been to conventions before, they are fun, but that's a lot more money than I've ever spent at one so I can't say for sure I'd go even if I could. On the other hand, this is the last Star Wars movie ever and will never be like this again.
Another key factor is the time, can you take a week out of your life to do it? If you can't really make that happen, the choice should be obvious.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Halofanatic, I'm going to Celebration III. The hotel I'm staying at has shuttles to the Convention Center where the Celebration is. You dont have to rent a car. You can if you want. Stillakid is right, the Celebration will only happen once. The toys will be around and if you wait you'll be able to score them later on sale or clearence.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
Ya i should call the hotel i will be staying at and see if there will be a shuttle, that will have a huge impact of if i go or not, caus i may be able to get a free plane ride^^
