The Role of Board of Councilors
The Board of Councilors (BOC) represents the grassroots of the orthopaedic profession. Its 90-plus members are elected by state orthopaedic societies. They also represent Puerto Rico, the U.S. military and Canada.
The BOC serves as an advisory body to the AAOS Board of Directors and a resource to AAOS committees. In addition, the BOC manages AAOS' relations with the state orthopaedic societies. This includes conducting a wide range of programs to strengthen and support the state societies organizationally.
The BOC meets 3 times a year. Major activities at these meetings include:
- making recommendations regarding resolutions and proposed bylaws changes from the AAOS fellowship;
- exploring AAOS health policy, education, communication, research, membership and governance issues and formulating specific recommendations to the AAOS Board and other AAOS leadership bodies on these issues;
- visiting Congressmen, Senators and other federal officials to promote the interests of orthopaedic surgeons and their patients (National Orthopaedic Leadership Conference); and
- developing AAOS and state society leadership capabilities through skill building exercises and other educational programs.
The BOC's resolutions process, and famous "open microphone" sessions have fostered many important new directions for the AAOS. For example, the BOC was instrumental in bringing about the creation of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (the new AAOS' C6 parallel organization), which has given orthopaedists a powerful tool to tackle health policy and patient care issues. Also, the AAOS' new initiatives to communicate directly with the public via a national public relations program stems from concerns expressed by Councilors in recent years.
The Board of Councilors is your link to the AAOS leadership and AAOS decision-making. For more information, please review other portions of this Web section and feel free to contact your Councilor with your comments and concerns, anytime.

Room temperature hors d'œuvre ideas
Calling all caterers!
We're hosting my daughter's first birthday next Sunday and need some ideas for finger foods to be served at room temperature. The party is in the afternoon, and I'll have the ability to heat things up in the morning, but the venue doesn't have a heat source and only a mini fridge. I may order a platter of maki from a local restaurant, but other than cheese, crackers and dip, I'm a bit at a loss for what to serve. Are puff pastry type foods ok served at room temperature? Also, we could bring a crock pot for something like meatballs(?) or whatever, but I'm a little short on ideas. Ideally foods that can be eaten in one bite with one hand would be best so things like soup or chili are out. There will be a lot of babies and not much seating. There will be about 45 adults at the party.
I'm swamped with last minute planning and would greatly appreciate any ideas and advice!
My wife and I love Zaalouk. I've seen different recipes for this online, the version we're fond of (from Claudia Roden's Arabesuqes) is a dip of garlicky tomato sauce and eggplant caviar. Figure 1 large eggplant to a 16oz can of tomatoes. Prick the eggplant a bit with a fork or knife, and roast it until it collapses. Meanwhile, cook your tomatoes with minced/crushed garlic and plenty of olive oil until they are much reduced. Once the eggplant is done, scoop out the insides and add them to the tomatoes, along with some lemon juice. You'll need to break up the eggplant, either mash it with the tomatoes or chop it before you add it. A few spices finish the dish: cumin, paprika, maybe some powdered coriander seed or hot pepper. Parsley, cilantro and mint are also good.
here's an illustrated recipe: http://www.domesticdaddy.net/2010/06/...
Caprese on a stick (or toothpick). A ball of marinated mozzarella, a piece of sun-dried tomato (or half of a grape tomato), and a small piece of basil.
Or some kind of pinwheels or rollup type of thing. Maybe not exactly these, but you get the idea.
Or grilled chicken on a stick with peanut sauce.
Think toppings and base. Toppings like a doctored up chicken salad (w/ pear and gorgonzola, salmon mousse, spinach artichoke dip, thick creamed spinach, etc. Bases like the phyllo cups, baked won ton wrappers, various vegetables (endives, cucumber, etc). Keep the toppings in a ziploc bag and when you get there, clip the corner off and squeeze onto base.

Government science advisers are expected to decide today whether to recommend approval of the first ''female Viagra," a hormone patch that supporters say will reignite the sex lives of millions of women. But critics [there are always critics, even for this!] worry [don't they, though!] it will be overused and expose women to unforeseen long-term side effects.
Intrinsa, a testosterone patch made by Procter and Gamble, is one of about a dozen medications that companies are scrambling to get on the market after the success of Viagra and other male sexual dysfunction drugs, which analysts estimate will gross $1.8 billion this year.
Supporters of Intrinsa say sexual dysfunction, like many other women's health problems, [a problem for whom, she asks] was long neglected by medicine [perhaps due to male domination of the field] and that the drug will draw much-needed attention to a problem most women did not realize was treatable [or realize that it was a problem].
''This is the nuclear bomb of women's sexual health -- it doesn't get any bigger than this," . [Don't say that to a woman!] Dr. Irwin Goldstein, director of the Institute for Sexual Medicine at Boston University, said of Intrinsa. He said the drug could transform female sexual dysfunction into a curable disorder [from a characteristic of gender?] in much the same way antibiotics changed the treatment of infectious diseases. Goldstein has been a consultant to a number of companies, including Procter and Gamble, but said he was not involved with any of the Intrinsa trials.
However, some doctors and sex therapists contend that arousal is more complicated in women than men [There is one startling scientific discovery! Hold this year's Nobel Prize in medicine for these folks.], involving a mix of psychology, evolutionary biology, hormone balance, and age. [plus yard work, garage-cleaning, showering, cajoling, flowers, and groveling, etc.] They believe that women's sexual problems [!] are less likely to be treatable with a drug alone.
Moreover, they say that Intrinsa is the latest example of drug companies trying to expand their markets by manufacturing a disorder and a cure. As it has done with other lifestyle drugs, such as the hair-loss treatment Propecia, the industry is seeking to ''medicalize" middle age, these critics say.
''A shift in how we view normality . . . will be subtly imposed on the public through advertisement," said Leonore Tiefer, a clinical psychologist from New York University. ''There are people who are suffering, but there are far more people who are just curious."
The scientific advisory panel's recommendation will go to top administrators in the US Food and Drug Administration, whose decision will be closely watched because of recent concerns about the adequacy of the agency's monitoring of the safety of drugs after they are approved. Merck recently withdrew the painkiller Vioxx after five years on the market, because of an increased risk of heart attacks in patients taking the medicine. Critics say the FDA should require longer-term studies of drugs' side effects before approval and should scrutinize drugs more carefully after they are on the market.
Critics worry that the testosterone patch, which is worn on the abdomen, could have negative long-term side effects, like the increased risk for breast cancer that was discovered years after replacement therapy for another hormone, estrogen, became a popular treatment for side effects of menopause.
''Women have been subjected to horrible hormone experiments by the pharmaceutical companies. I hope we don't have amnesia about this," Tiefer said.
Female sexual dysfunction, defined [by whom?] as decreased interest in sex and an absence of sexual fantasies, was estimated to affect 43 percent [thank God for the Heinz 57!] of adult women in the United States in a much-cited study published in 1999, but the data's credibility has been challenged because of the methods used and the fact that one author was a consultant for six drug companies and another helped advise Pfizer during the development of Viagra.
Procter and Gamble is initially seeking approval of Intrinsa for only a small percentage of these women: those who have had their ovaries removed and are taking estrogen. The ovaries produce testosterone, which is thought to have a role in sexual desire.
In studies of women who had undergone ovary removal surgery or were menopausal, women taking Intrinsa for six months reported that they experienced an average of one additional episode of intercourse, masturbation, or oral sex every four weeks compared with women given an inactive patch [that's a start!]. The women on Intrinsa also reported greater sexual desire, with less feelings of distress. Side effects like acne, hair growth, or deepened voices occurred in women taking the drug, but were rare. The studies were reported at medical conferences.
Dr. Alice Mark, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston who was not involved in Intrinsa studies, said they were ''well done," but she noted an interesting effect: ''Even women using a placebo patch also had an increase in sexual functioning, and probably what that indicates is that anyone who is willing to go out and do something for sexual function will have some results." [thanks for that tidbit!]
If the FDA approves Intrinsa for women without ovaries, doctors would be allowed by law to prescribe the drug ''off label" to any patient. Critics fear [there they go again!] that the drug would be widely advertised to consumers, and that the ads, by playing on women's insecurities about sex [I hadn't noticed those!], would spur millions to seek prescriptions.
Before prescribing the patch to women with functioning ovaries, a group that was not included in the Intrinsa studies, doctors would probably use blood tests of hormone levels and questionnaires about sexual satisfaction to determine who might benefit from the drug.
But Mark said it is difficult to tell whether women have normal or low levels of testosterone because tests are inexact and no norms have been established. Without an accurate testosterone level, she said, it would be hard to say whether a woman was a good candidate for the patch.
Goldstein already treats some women for sexual dysfunction with an ''off-label" testosterone patch intended for men. One of those patients, a 58-year-old Andover woman, is eager for Intrinsa to be approved.
After her daughter was born 29 years ago, sex dropped off the radar screen for the woman. ''Desire was gone, arousal was gone, everything just disappeared."
Two and a half years ago, she went to Goldstein and began getting testosterone therapy, and six weeks later something strange began to happen, she said. ''I was walking down the canned-food aisle in the supermarket and I started to think about sex." [Shocking behavior for a female. Can't she hold off such thoughts at least until she gets to the meat aisle?]

Just after its launch in the market, viagra has created a niche for itself as the most effective medication for treating male erectile dysfunction across the world but alongside, the effectives of herbal Viagra products in dealing with male sexual problems cannot be ignored. Herbs and plants are, however, extensively used as sex stimulants worldwide and details present at http://www.pill-care.com inform you that the highly utilized sex boosters collectively known as herbal Viagra are namely, gingko biloba, yohimbe, horny goat weed and muira puama.

Nearly 70% of men with ED have some kind of underlying condition. Healthcare providers should treat erectile dysfunction and check the testosterone level at the same time. It is very important to bring the testosterone level to a normal level; testosterone therapy can make this possible. http://www.buy-viagra-with-us.com/

Callie Crossley, host of Boston Public Radio on WGBH, spoke to Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone and neighborhood activist Ellin Reisner Monday about IKEA's decision not to build in Assembly Square.
The two also spoke about the type of development they'd like to see built on the furniture company's 12 acres of land instead of an IKEA store.
Curtatone said IKEA's decision to pull out of the neighborhood is an opportunity for the city to "create more jobs and more tax revenues than an IKEA would have ever brought in."
"That site will sell and develop fast," he said.
In fiscal year 2012, the city, for tax purposes, . That was enough to put the company on the city's list of top ten taxpayers.
Reisner said "I'm very happy about this change."
IKEA's decisions presents "a tremendous opportunity for the city … it is infrastructure ready, there is a T station that is opening up there, it is an ideal location," she said.
She talked about bringing research and development and office space to the parcel and noted the area, once the new Orange Line station is complete, would be "less than a 10 minute ride from Downtown Crossing."

What do we mean by Point and Shoot??Simply these are the new breed of digital cameras that offer compact size and features like still images and video capability. They do not have the interchangeable lens capability but generally have zoom lens capability and built in flash. Some offer external strobe flash operation.?Having a large number of pixels on the imaging chip can affect the auto focusing in low light conditions that you will experience underwater. 5 to 12 MP is fine for most cameras that will be used underwater.?When you are choosing a camera to use underwater it is best to see if there is an underwater housing for your model before you by the camera.?The features you want in the camera for underwater are close focus ability, RAW recording for your files, if possible an external flash hot shoe, video recording, and an ISO range from 50 to 1200. Because you will taking images of subjects that are moving you need to get a camera that does not have very much shutter lag. Shutter lag is the time it takes for the camera to record the image after you press the shutter lever. Any time longer than a 1/10th of a second will be frustrating to you.?Selecting a housing for your camera you need to decide what features you will need. Does the housing have external handles? Can eternal strobe flashes be used, Can you easily use close-up lenses or wide angle lenses. How big is the housing and can you access the controls you need? Are spare parts available and where can you get it serviced?
The most popular brands are Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony and Panasonic. Not every manufacture supports all camera models for underwater use. At this point in [br]time Canon seems to be leading the market in popular models for underwater. The G9, G10 and G11 are the most popular with the SX-20IS and SX120IS following the selections. Nikon has the Coolpix P5000 and P6100 and the P6000 as their lead models. Olympus has several models but they do not have direct link to strobes except for external fiber optic sync. The same applies to the Sony cameras. The Panosonic LX2 and LX3 have only one manufacture supporting then and the cost is higher.

Oscar Nominee Has Her Next Gig Lined Up -- She Will Star in New CBS Comedy Project THR
One of the current Academy Award nominees is making the move to the small screen. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Jacki Weaver -- part of a nomination sweep by "Silver Linings Playbook" in the four acting categories -- will star in CBS's comedy pilot "The McCarthys."
The piece notes that Weaver -- who was also previously nominated for an Oscar for the 2010 movie "Animal Kingdom" -- will go from playing the mom of a sports-obsessed Philadelphia family in "Playbook" to playing the mom of a sports-obsessed Boston family in "McCarthys."
"The pilot is described as a family comedy about a loud, sports-crazed Boston family, with Weaver playing the mother of the McCarthys, Marjorie," the story reports. "She's described as loving, exhausted and having no filter, who enjoys having her son keep her company when her husband Arthur ('Rescue Me's' Jack McGee) and other kids are off coaching basketball games."
"The McCarthys" is a single-camera effort from 'Are You There, Chelsea?' writer Brian Gallivan, executive produced by Will Gluck and Richie Schwartz. The piece notes that if the project is picked up to series, it would be the first regular series role for Weaver.

It's been interesting being back in San Diego for this brief trip before we return to Japan on Sunday. Part of the reason we're here is to set up a new condo I bought to serve as a San Diego Comicon party pad, I mean a base of operations for J-List in the U.S., and we've been buying furniture and dishes and getting everything liveable. American houses are fundamentally different from Japanese homes, of course, and I've enjoyed watching my family get used to the new place. American homes lack a genkan, the lowered area near the front door where shoes are removed, so there's always a bit of confusion about where to store the shoes (usually they're just jumbled around the front door in a mess). While Japanese are culturally disposed toward hardwood flooring, most American homes (in California at least) have luxurious wall-to-wall carpeting, which many Japanese love as much as gaijin fawn over tatami mats. Japanese homes never have electric garbage disposals, and my family has repeatedly tried to turn on the kitchen "light" only to be surprised by a roaring sound from the sink. The building we're in has a bin for "recycle" trash, but there's almost no separation beyond that point. My wife is used to Japanese gomi separation rules, and she started meticulously sorting cans (steel and aluminum), plastics, "natural resource" items like PET bottles and newspapers, and "dangerous items" like light bulbs until I told her it wasn't necessary. (Incidentally, if you want to live a little more green, J-List has restocked the "Sankaku" kitchen nets for separating your kitchen garbage, also great for composting.)
My wife tried Japan-style recycling in the U.S.

Very nice taste, and it rose up and achieved a nice puffy result. However, the cream cheese did not add anything at all to it, so I would totally eliminate it next time. The cream cheese chunks did not melt, just remained exactly where you placed them before baking, browned on top, and actually did not have much taste. The end result looked like toasted marshmallows on top. For someone like me who does not make French Toast but likes it a lot, this was a good recipe and one I would make it again.

To turn this recipe from 4 stars to 5 stars I made a couple of changes: Mix the cream cheese with some sugar and cinnamon to taste and blend it by hand or with a mixer. Spread the mixture on the bread you're using (I used cinnamon-raisin bread) stack the "frosted" bread 3 high, then cube it. I also used real maple syrup. It is so much better this way as there is cream cheese in every bite and it is sweetened. 1/2 cup syrup just was not enough sweetness for this big batch, IMHO. I tried it the original way and I prefer it the sweeter way.
Fantastic and easy to make. I didn't have french bread at home, so I used regular white bread. Also, I softened the cream cheese and spread it on the bread and then cut it into pieces before placing it in the casserole dish. My kids love maple syrup, so I added 1 cup with 1 cup of milk with 6 eggs with 1 tbsp cinnamon in my 9 x 9 pan. Very moist and tasty!

CB2, the younger, hipper sister store of Crate and Barrel, is the latest housewares and furniture retailer to jump into the bicycle business. Their first two bikes are 'omafiets' style and were created in collaboration with Republic bikes (the same company that Urban Outfitters teamed up with for their bike offerings last year). I kind of like the way these new CB2 bikes look with the custom bright yellow (at least when they are new) Kenda balloon tires and red accents on a traditional glossy grey frame. The Abuela (women's model) features a skirt guard and front and rear racks, while the men's Abuelo model has only a rear rack. Both bikes include bells, fenders, kickstands, and 3-speed Nexus drivetrains with chainguards.
I am curious to hear what some of you think of fashion and home décor retailers dabbling in the bike business like this. Personally, I am happy to see new channels of distribution for bikes. With their physical stores and online presence, CB2 is probably reaching many people who would never think to walk into a bike shop. If some of those people decide to buy bikes while they are browsing for new patio furniture… that is a good thing. I don't really see this as direct competition for local bike shops, and perhaps some of those shops will benefit when it comes time to service these bikes, or when these new bicyclists decide that it is time for an upgrade. But enough from me…tell me what you think about bikes from places like CB2 and Urban Outfitters.
Speaking of bikes and décor, I want to point out Beg Bicycles, which I found via a recent Design Sponge post. In addition to nice traditional bikes, they make baskets and some really nice leather accessories. They have a blog too, so check it out and follow along.

Giuliana Rancic: Motherhood brings tears of joy
(AP) NEW YORK - Giuliana Rancic may be known as a trendsetting red carpet regular, but it's the unglamorous side of new motherhood that's got her smiling from ear to ear.
"I never realized how much I would love changing diapers. And how much I would love _ and I'm sorry for being gross _ a poopy diaper. It's like those little things where you go, `Yes! Bill come in here and look how big it is!'" Rancic said in a recent interview.
Giuliana and her husband, Bill Rancic, welcomed their son, Edward Duke, on Aug. 29. The baby was born by a gestational surrogate.
"Being in the delivery room, seeing the baby for the first time, there were just tears of joy, and I just couldn't believe it. You just fall in love like that. And Bill and I, we're literally fighting over who got to hold him first," she said.
The road to motherhood wasn't an easy one for the 38-year-old E! News anchor, whose fertility troubles and miscarriage were documented on her Style Network reality series, "Giuliana & Bill."
Then last October the Rancics announced that she had breast cancer. She later underwent a double mastectomy.
"What's just so incredible is that this year has been truly the hardest year of my life, but it's been the greatest year of my life," she said.
Rancic is now spreading the word about early detection. She's teamed with P&G and the National Breast Cancer Foundation's "Do It for the Girls!" campaign, which urges women to do self breast exams.
She's also launching her new fashion line, G by Giuliana Rancic, on HSN.
A line of baby clothes may be in her future, starting with a few custom garments for baby Edward. She says he'll make a perfect fit model.
"We'll start him working young," she joked.

This is the best recipe I've found on this site!!! I am orginally Syrian, so we are always making traditional hummus and when I decided to make this, my family was really skeptical. Everything changed when they tasted it and my mom single-handedly ate almost the whole recipe!! (this tastes more flavorful if you double the amount of the spices)
I made this hummus with black beans at first and it turned out good. However, when I substituted black beans with garbanzo beans - it turned out even better! You will need to use more liquid with garbanzo beans, though.
Very good hummus, but very different from the classic garbanzo bean variety. My brother and I took this on our cross-country trip and ate some every day for 5 days straight and didn't get tired of it! The key to getting that hummus taste out of the black bean is the tahini. If you don't use tahini, you may as well just have some refried beans from your local Mexican restaurant. This is also an easy recipe to vary with other ingredients. Just remember that if you're going to add different spices, use fresh ones! There is no substitute!

Parvianien's 16 Points Pace Lady Raider's 85-48 WinNovember 12, 2002 · MT Media Relations
Sophomore Patrice Holmes recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds in the Lady Raiders win Tuesday. (MT)
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Mia Parvianien's 16 points paced five Middle Tennessee players in double figures in the Lady Raiders 85-48 win over Georgia College and State University Tuesday in Murphy Center.
Parvianien, a senior from Helsinki, Finland, was 4-for-5 from the three-point line and 6-for-12 overall, with six rebounds in 25 minutes of play. Sophomore Patrice Holmes had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds, Eboni Kirby dished in 12 and Paula Penttila and Cartia Bailey each had 10.
Middle Tennessee trailed early in the first half, but the Lady Raiders picked up steam behind the youthful squad. After shooting 32.6 percent in the first half, Middle Tennessee improved to 48.8 percent in the second half.
The Lady Raiders will play their final exhibition game of the season when they host Carson Newman College Sunday November 17. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
Notes and Quotes
Bailey's back in Business: After sitting out last season with a knee injury, redshirt freshman Cartia Bailey made the most of her return to the court as she posted 10 points. Her first two buckets were 3-pointers and she finished the game 2-for-5 from the three point line and 4-for-13 overall.
Give me Charity: The Lady Raiders were perfect from the free throw line, as the team hit all nine of their free throws.
Injury Report: Freshman Tia Stovall is still sidelined with a knee injury as well as sophomore Ciara Gray. Both are expected back in the line-up prior to the regular season tip-off with Tennessee Tech.
Head Coach Stephany Smith: "I was really pleased with the people coming off the bench, specifically with Cartia Bailey and Jessica Schlueter. Tiffany Fisher and Eboni Kirby came off the bench, and I expected them to do some productive things. Cartia, especially, was very impressive. Jessica Schlueter, with the minutes she played, was also very impressive. I thought that all in all it was good. I was really glad we played the team that we played tonight. They are a very disciplined team. They run a very structured offense and defense. It helped us get better, way more so than a year ago."
"We are trying to play with tempo. However, I told them at halftime that I wanted to be a tempo team, not a run and gun team. I thought that in the first half that we looked like run and gun. We were really sloppy. There wasn't a lot of form to our transition. I thought that we forced the ball several times instead of pulling back and running our set offense. I don't want to fault them too much for that because that is something that will be a strength of ours."
MT Guard Patrice Holmes: "I think I played okay. I was nervous at the beginning, and I pushed some things that weren't there. As a team, we played pretty good. I think we need to work on our half court defense."
MT Forward Mia Parviainen: "I have to take my chances whenever my defender allows me to shoot the three pointer. As a team, we just have to control our fast break and play better defensively."

He is a member of the Republican Party. The district lies in northern Orange County, including portions of Stanton, Cypress, Buena Park, Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia, and Orange. Redistricting will force Royce to run in the newly created 39th congressional district in 2012. Rep. Gary Miller has decided to run in the 31st district rather than oppose Royce in the 39th.

When and how did you learn about the J. Frank Norris story?
J. Frank Norris was well known in our family—my grandparents and mother (as a young girl) attended the church he preached at in Detroit, Michigan in the 1940s. I grew up hearing all sorts of stories about this colorful character.
At what point, and why, did you decide you were going to write a book about Norris?
The idea to write about J. Frank Norris and his murder trial lodged in my head many years ago—back in the early 1990s. Along the way I picked up items here and there and filed them away. Then occasionally I'd pull the file out—first a swollen folder, then a small box, then several more—and review the ever-accumulating material. Sometimes though, the boxes would go undisturbed for months at a time.
Over time, the files bulged and one day I noticed that I had gathered a substantial amount of poorly organized stuff. My wife "encouraged" me to clean the mess up and do something with the material I had collected. Eventually indexing more than 6,000 pages of newspaper articles, court records, and notes from other published works, this story began to take shape in my mind—then on paper.
In 2007, I finally decided to commit serious time and energy to this project.
What did your research process entail?
I made several trips to Fort Worth, Texas, likely wearing out my welcome at its wonderful public library's Central Branch on West Third Street; located just a block away from where the central element of this story took place. As part of my research, I read countless Fort Worth newspapers from back then—particularly the periods of 1924–1927, as well as those from 1911–1914. I stretched the limits of those sometimes high-maintenance microfilm reading contraptions and I am pretty sure I was more than a little bit of a nuisance to attendants on duty in the library's downstairs periodical section.
Every visit would end the same way—with my pockets empty of quarters. I would then gather up the fruit of that particular session, usually more than a hundred of pages of photocopies, and make my way back to my hotel to sort through, organize, and thoroughly review my harvest for the day.
Walking the city's downtown streets, I tried to imagine what it must have been like when the electric interurban competed with Model T's for control of its thoroughfares. I tried to envision a long-ago time when the oil boom was peaking and everything still felt at least a little like the old, wild west.
I have relied on newspaper and periodical reports, published trial transcripts, court records, archived material, and other published works to construct and color the story. Many of the details in this book come from J. Frank Norris's own words.
Who do you think will be the audience for your book?
First, I think most people love a good story and this is a very good story. It may, in fact, be the most famous story most Americans have never heard.
And it has been hiding in plain sight for decades waiting to be told.
But of course, thinking more narrowly, I think there are several subjects in the book that are endlessly fascinating—for example, the Ku Klux Klan and its relationship with conservative politics in the 1920s, the Jazz Age itself (Roaring Twenties), and the true crime elements of the story.
Therefore, the audience for this book includes those who read true crime books, works on history, as well as those who love courtroom drama, the venerable staple of books, television programs, movies, and plays.
Name some authors and books that have inspired or guided you.
Erik Larson is the first to come to mind. His books, titles such as Devil in White City, Isaac's Storm, Thunderstruck, and his new book, In the Garden of Beasts, are the gold standard, in my opinion for the narrative non-fiction or "true narrative" genre of writing. Larson has talked about the research process as "hunting detail"—a description that resonates with me.
Howard Blum is also gifted (American Lightning) as a narrative nonfiction writer, as is, of course, historian David McCullough. Both of these men write in a way that inspires me.
Recently I read Thomas Powers' new book, The Killing of Crazy Horse, and I would certainly include him as a new edition to my favorite authors.
When it comes to fiction, I love the fiction works of Daniel Silva and am impressed with the work of a new author, Brad Taylor.
Among the best compliments to receive, I think, would be for someone to say something like: "I loved your book. I don't usually read non-fiction, but yours read like a novel, yet it is a true story." The idea being not to just appeal to readers of history, but the person who may usually choose a novel, but find my book captivating.

I have Navisworks Freedom on my desktop pc here at work,, i have ben given a large amount of reference files(drawings) to look at, all from the same zip file. Some of the files end in .dgn, some in .drv, others with .lin, others with .prp and thers with .sld...they all (except the .sld) have the same thing in common...when i attempt to open them i get the message "no plugin xists that will open (file name)...the .sld file says "to open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it...."
I have opened other drawings from an entirely different set, these had .nwd as an extention.
I wonder if anyone has had any experience with this situation and could possibly enlighten me as to what i can do in order to open any of the file extentions as listed...regards...
freedom can only open up .nwd, .dwf, .dwfx, .w2d files only
they would need to open up those files in navisworks and save them as a .nwd file
And in some cases, Freedom would be inappropriate (e.g. 2D plan drawings). Get Trueview for the DWG files, Design Review for 2D DWF files. The rest sound like a packaged SmartPlant or PDS project. You will need either SmartPlant Review or Navisworks Simulate to view those.
Thank you for your prompt reply, much appeciated, is there a way i can convert these files myself, if not, what do i need to do?
not without navisworks simulate or Smartplant

In doing research for this post I had difficulty finding projects that were specific to 9/11. Yes, there are hundreds if not thousands of patriotic crafts and flag crafts out there. Finding projects that weren't printables that refer directly to 9/11 were sparse, or at least not indexed by google or pinned on Pinterest. So here are the few that I did find, if you know of others please leave them in the comments. And please, please, never ever forget.

- Production Total: 100
- Power: 4.6L V8 w/435 hp
Photo Gallery
So, you're not yet ready to go pro, but your idea of fun in the sun is spending quality time down at your local race track. If this sounds like you, read on.
New for 2008 is the ROUSH 427R Trak Pak Mustang. For most of us, owning both a daily driver and a race car is quite a stretch. Let's face it, racing isn't cheap, and if you're working all the time to pay for your ride, when will you find the time to race? ROUSH Performance makes it easy, well easier, with the new 427R. This performance Mustang, which is completely street legal, is designed for daily driving, while offering plenty of performance power on the track (Complete Test Drive Review ). Joe Thompson, ROUSH Performance vice-president and general manager said in a press release, "The handling on this Trak Pak Mustang is truly something amazing. Even though this car has, obviously, a lot of content which was designed for track use, I foresee most owners using this as a 'daily driver' as the handling of the ROUSH 427R Trak Pak Mustang is our best-handling Mustang ever." The only downside is it costs a little less than $60k. On second thought, maybe you should keep that second job.
Power & PerformanceAs for power, the 427R Track Pak has plenty. ROUSH reports the car is capable of producing 435 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque courtesy of its 4.6L ROUSHcharged engine which is made up of a ROUSHcharger, air induction system, intake manifolds, and ROUSH calibrated ECM.
As for handling, the 427R Track Pak was designed to meet the demands of racing. According to the company, the 427R is an improvement over the popular Stage 3 due to a tightening of the car's race track response, shock absorber tuning, and tightened spring rates. The car's suspension system is made up of adjustable front and rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilization bars, front and rear jounce bumpers, and adjustable camber/caster plates. In addition, the car uses dedicated coil-over adjustable dampers for improved ride height.
Okay, so you've got a Mustang that's loaded with power and is designed to handle turns with ease. How do you make it stop? The 427R is equipped with 6-piston front brakes backed by 14-inch, two-piece slotted front rotors and slotted rear rotors. The car also features a ROUSH brake cooling system and high temperature brake fluid.
AppearanceTo top it off, the ROUSH 427R Track Pak Mustang looks intimidating. I can only imagine pulling next to one of these at a stop light. The car sports a ROUSH three-piece aero body kit (front fascia, front chin spoiler, and hood scoop). In addition, it features a functional carbon fiber rear wing, hood pins, and 18-inch forged wheels painted dark charcoal.
InteriorThe interior of the 427R is all performance. Drivers will find a new 3-gauge dash pod with engine oil temperature, coolant temperature, and a boost gauge. The car also features ROUSH sport leather seating, a short throw shifter with retro-style ball, and performance pedals.
ProductionUnfortunately, only 100 ROUSH 427R Track Pak Mustangs were to be produced for 2008. The vehicle became available in the Summer of 2007. If you were unable to get your hands on one, you can still purchase performance parts featured on the car. ROUSH Performance offers various components of this package for those looking to beef up their existing Mustangs.

The first public meeting was held last night to discuss the future of the Soldotna Sports Center. We spoke to Andrew Carmichael, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Soldotna, who outlined the Soldotna Sports Center Master Plan that is under development…
Carmichael: "To look at what the facility needs are, in relation to it not only being a 30-year-old building, but also what the community would like to see done with it, in terms of do we expand here, do we do this, do we do that, see what the community wants. The building was opened in 1983, and it's been band aided a lot over the years, and now it's time to look at a major renovation."

FRIAR'S WALK: Hope for other schemes
1:30pm Wednesday 10th June 2009 in News
FRIAR'S Walk was one of the victims of the credit crunch along with The Edge, a housing development on the riverfront, and some other residential schemes.
Another Modus project, the £87 million City Spires which was to include a 29-storey tower block, leisure and retail facilities on the site of the Cambrian Retail Centre, was shelved.
But work to regenerate Newport has not come to a complete standstill.
Boulevarding along Kingsway, the footbridge and fountains have transformed that area, work on the riverside park and walk is progressing, a number of residential developments on the waterfront are selling and work on the university's city centre campus is progressing well.

This redevelopment was doomed because, over the years, all parts of the council didn't have a clue what they were doing. And, rather than this rag trumpeting that there is still hope, it ought to report the REAL facts - like that magazine they produced about three months ago saying that, despite the credit crunch, we were still 'on course'.
Just shows that all of you - the Argus, council and others - are deluded.

Scouting S.C. State: Trouble Spots For The Tigers
QB Richard Cue: He's got a season under his belt, and posted pretty good numbers - 1,819 yards passing and 11 touchdowns, and 322 yards on the ground. He's SC State's leading returning rusher.
RB Julius Pendergrass: With just 273 yards, he's the Bulldogs' most productive returning (and available) running back. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry, and is also a threat as a kick returner.
WR Tyler McDonald: He made 35 catches a year ago and averaged 15.5 yards per receptions, with a team-high four touchdown catches. He's a preseason first-team All-MEAC pick.
WR Caleb Davis: A capable possession receiver, he averaged 8.9 yards on 35 catches last season.
DE Kimario McFadden: He had 54 tackles, including two sacks, a year ago.
LB Joe Thomas: He was the Bulldogs' top defensive player until he was sidelined by injury midway through the season. He's healthy now and is a preseason all-conference choice.
LB Justin Hughes: He's SC State's leading returning tackler with 78, including five sacks. He also intercepted a pass last fall.
OL Tristen Bellamy: Considered one of the MEAC's top offensive linemen, he's another preseason all-league pick.
OL Javarius Leamon: Clemson fans will remember the name - he was a long-time commitment to the Tigers, and was the top-rated offensive lineman in the state two years ago. He redshirted last year, and will make his debut - at 6-7, 310 - as a second-team All-MEAC pick by Phil Steele. When all is said and done, it's quite likely he'll play in the NFL.
P-PK Nick Belcher: The preseason All-MEAC punter averaged 38.9 yards per kick last season. He was also 8-of-15 on field goals and was 24-of-26 on PATs.

J2867 - Laboratory Testing of Vehicle Electric Cooling Fan Assemblies for Airflow Performance
Not available for purchase at this time.

Sponsor Name:
Thomas K. Lockwood
Laboratory Testing of Vehicle Electric Cooling Fan Assemblies for Airflow Performance
This SAE recommended Practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of Light Duty automotive electric engine cooling fans. These Electric Cooling Fan Assemblies are purchased by all of the Light Duty Truck and Passenger Car OEMs from a few suppliers. They are purchased as complete assemblies, almost without exception, consisting of the Fan(s), Motor(s) and Shroud. Some purchased assemblies may also include control devices such as Power Resistors or Pulse Width Modulating (PWM) electronics for speed control. The performance measurement would include airflow, pressure, and electric power. This flow and pressure information could then be used to estimate the engine cooling performance. This power consumption would be used to estimate vehicle energy impacts as they relate to electrical charging system sizing and fuel economy. Additionally, having electric power consumption for a fan operating point (Input Energy) and airflow generated against a pressure drop for that same point (Work or Output Energy), efficiency can be calculated. The procedure also provides a general description of equipment necessary to measure the approximate fan performance. For the purpose of this Recommended Practice, Electric Cooling Fan (ECF) Assembly shall include the Fan(s) and Motor(s) as well as the Shroud, since it is common practice in the Industry to specify and purchase as such. The test conditions in the procedure generally will not always match those of the installation for which cooling, electric energy consumption and fuel consumption information is desired. The performance of a given fan depends on the installation details of the application, including the effects of system resistance from the grille, heat exchangers and underhood packaging airflow restriction. These details should be duplicated in the test setup, to the greatest extent possible if accurate performance measurement is expected. The performance at a given air density and speed also depends on the volumetric flow rate, or the pressure rise across the fan, since these two parameters are mutually dependent. These parameters depend on the pressure drop across the heat exchangers (Air-to-Oil Cooler, Condenser, Charge-Air-Cooler, Radiator, etc.) and the ram pressure due to vehicle motion. For these reasons, the test procedure should be recognized as providing only an approximate measure of installed fan performance. But, if reasonable care is used to replicate the heat exchangers and other contributors to system pressure drop, the test results are an excellent source of accurate comparison data.

Some like to claim that pornography is a victimless crime. I believe such a claim is patently false and absurd. Not only does this billions dollar industry contain victims within the industry itself, but the number of victims outside the industry is growing. A recent report says that nearly 10% of young people between the ages of 14 and 21 admit to committing an act of sexual violence with porn being the most common factor. The report says:
"Nearly 1 in 10 young Americans between ages 14 and 21 acknowledges having perpetrated an act of sexual violence at least once, and 4% of a nationally representative sample of American kids reported attempting or completing rape, a new study finds…And among perpetrators of sexual violence, consumption of X-rated materials — specifically those depicting physical harm in the context of sex — was notably more common than it was among youths who did not report efforts to coerce or force someone else to engage in sex." Those who believe porn is a victimless crime should talk to the growing list of victims of sexual violence." Click here for original article.

Thel Dala refers to a dry stir-fried dish in Sri Lanka. Usually this is made with Potatoes and called ala thel dala. The book I had mentioned in my previous post on Sri Lankan Mango Curry, Sri Lankan Flavours by Channa Dassanayaka, actually details a thel dala using beetroots.
I have been quite hooked to the book and reading up on differences and similarities between Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines. I really want to try using their salted chillies in my cooking too. The book mentions how they marinate chillies in salt water and use that in their curries. The use of coconut milk is also quite extensive in their recipes.
Beetroot Thel Dala RecipeServes: 2-3Source: Sri Lankan Flavours by Channa DassanayakaWhat I Used:2 medium-sized beetroots, peeled and diced1 onion, chopped1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped10 curry leaves or 2 bay leaves1 cinnamon stick2 cloves garlic sliced2 green chillies sliced1 teaspoon curry powder1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric2 tablespoons oil1/4 teaspoon chilli powdersalt to tasteHow I Made It:1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion, curry leaves, cinnamon and garlic and saute until golden brown - about 1 to 2 mins. Then add the beetroot and toss for another 2 mins.2.
