I remember having some hard time getting the collision avoidance solver working correctly. This test was not perfect but I was starting to see the light :).
The solver is using the bearing angle and its time-derivative to detect future potential collisions. Agents vision is discretized to simple cylinders (or spheres I don't remember :) ). This way, it was rather fast to evaluate but was limited to agents only interactions. A second solver has been developed to avoid obstacle (firing some rays and getting intersection with scene geometries), but was not always working as expected. If I should re-do this work, I would use the same solver for agents and obstacle I think...
This was one of the first goal system for CrowdFX (latter I added a follow curve system that was maybe more easy to use).
Characters are directed using several goals. You can define the order of those goals by setting their index.This example also illustrate the feet locking added at run time to avoid unnatural sliding of the original animation (when characters are turning).
A simple SPH Solver I wrote in about a week using KL (an elegant and fast language for parallel computing using static types compiled at run time) and Creation Platform (for the UI part).
A little test I made before Christmas 2012 using Fabric Engine Creation Platform.
The idea was to be able to create some KL code using nodes. A system similar to the Houdini VOP graph but generating KL instead of VEX :)

Why You Should Listen to this Micro-Cap Company
Tuesday, August 13th, 2013
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
In this market, real economic growth is a tough thing to come by. So, when you get real outperformance, it's worth taking note.
Not too long ago in this space, we considered AAON, Inc. (AAON) out of Tulsa, OK. This is a good micro-cap enterprise that manufactures and installs heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment—otherwise known as "HVAC." The company just reported another solid quarter of genuine economic growth. (Also see "How the Old Economy Can Pay More Than You Might Think.")
According to the company, its sales in the second quarter of 2013 grew to $91.2 million—up nine percent from sales of $83.3 million generated in the same quarter of 2012.
Earnings were an impressive $12.1 million, representing a gain of 30% over earnings of $9.3 million in the comparable quarter. AAON's earnings per share were $0.33 for a gain of 32% over earnings per share of $0.25 in the comparable quarter. For any public company, these kinds of financial metrics are unusual these days.
For the first half of 2013, the company reported record sales of $158 million—up seven percent. First-half earnings were up 39% to $19.3 million.
I've followed this company for years, and equally as impressive as its growth has been is the company's penchant for honest disclosure regarding business conditions. This is another thing that's tough to come by these days.
- Profitable Options Trading Made Simple...
"I'm offering you the easy, shortened version of a $17,000 Harvard-type options trading program that could generate you tens of thousands of dollars a month for as long as you want." ~ George Leong, B.Comm.
Full story here.
Management said that second-quarter revenue and earnings growth was due mostly to price increases and a decline in the cost of materials. The company's backlog increased to $66.2 million as of June 30, 2013, from $62.2 million comparatively. This is down from a record order backlog of $71.7 million as of March 31, 2013.
Company management said that it still expects 2013 to be a record year for revenues and earnings, but they also noted that there's been a "noticeable softening" in business conditions recently.
AAON beat Wall Street's second-quarter consensus estimates on revenues and earnings. According to the company's track record of reporting and disclosure, I believe what this company says about its operations. It lends weight to the potential for the next recession.
As mentioned, AAON is a good company with a solid track record of wealth creation for shareholders and what I consider to be honest disclosure as a public corporation.
When I hear or read about "softening" from company management, it goes against what Wall Street is hoping for.
AAON is just one more small piece of the puzzle that makes me think that a technical recession is increasingly likely within the next 12 months. A recession within a secular bull market is perfectly normal, and historically, the U.S. economy is due for one.
I remain very cautious regarding the stock market and its outlook. The Federal Reserve has been in charge of equities for a number of years now, but change is in the air as Ben Bernanke's term is almost up.
If you're not interested in the mature industry of HVAC, consider following AAON anyway. It's a straightforward business that offers the real deal. For sure, there are not enough of these kinds of public companies around.

The Great Crash of 2014
A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way.
In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash…
…the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen.
Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "The Great Crash of 2014."
In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market:
In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call.
We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold.
Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price.
In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks.
We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.
And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today.
Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up.
Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you!
I urge you to be among the first to get our next major

Quote:They made good tubes
... So I talked to the Sales Gal who got me in contact with their Engineer who couldn't help because they did not have the capability to make tubes outside of the sizes they currently offered. Their line of tubes for 6/8/10/12.5 inch OTA's all had a larger outside diameters than the earlier ones used with Cave OTA's and probably other classic brands as well. I told them that they used to, but apparently, nobody's been there long enough to know what happened to the madrils they used back then.
Quote:Parks out of business, what a shame.I ordered a few small things from Parks and I have a lot of Parks stuff around here in or on or part of my scopes.They were one of the oldies, sad.I'll be out of business soon and then Parks will be open 24/7. I won't need any telescope parts though. I'm going to hitch a ride on a comet and just sit in my lazyboy destination unknown.Robert

The company has decided to close down 100 to 120 Sears and Kmart stores after a continuous drop in their sales, especially during the Christmas holidays. Sears Holdings Corporation has come to a point where many of its stores are not adding to revenues and instead have become an overhead for the company. The profits are continuously reducing and the situation has become alarming for the company management.
The closing down of stores has been thought of to let the company survive with its revenue generating outlets and eliminate those that just are adding to the costs. The CEO and president of the corporation, Lou D'Ambrosio, told his employees about the decision but did not clearly mention which of the stores will be shut down. "The retailer had not generated the results we were seeking during the holiday," he said. "These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers," D'Ambrosio added.
The retail chain is facing difficulties in the tough competition with giant retailers, who have been investing greatly into their services and products. Through this strategic move of reducing its presence, the company will be able to focus on its profitable outlets and then compete with a clear marketing approach.
As it has not been made clear which stores exactly are going to be closed, there is an uncertainty among the employees about the future of their jobs. The joblessness is already a major concern due to economic instability in the country and businesses are striving to continue in these hard conditions.
The top management is motivated to bring the company to a better standing again through a new strategy. "We will bounce back and become stronger than ever," the CEO of the company said in his message.
The deteriorated performance is being criticized by analysts, who feel the reason for the decline in sales is the poor service oan the stores.

CAIRO, Egypt.—New research is revealing some sick truths about King Tut's life and death including why scientists believe his parents were most likely brother and sister.
Scientists performed DNA tests on the world's most famous mummy for two years, and found King Tutankhamun was a frail boy who suffered from a cleft palate and club foot.
Scientists say the real way King Tut died was through complications from a broken leg exacerbated by malaria.
While a comparatively minor ruler, the "boy king" as he is called, has captivated the public since the 1922 discovery of his tomb, which was filled with a stunning array of jewels and artifacts, including a golden funeral mask.
Tut, who became pharaoh at age 10 in 1333 B.C., ruled for just nine years at a pivotal time in Egypt's history before his death.
The study, which will be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, provides the firmest family tree yet for Tut. The tests pointed to Pharaoh Akhenaten, who tried to revolutionize ancient Egyptian religion to worship one god, as Tut's father. His mother was one of Akhenaten's sisters, it said.
Egypt's top archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, who co-authored the study, noted that more than 80 years after Tutankhamun's discovery, technology was revealing secrets about the pharaoh.
"We actually can say for the first time that we have revealed the mystery of the family of the golden boy, King Tut," said archaeologist Zahi Hawass.
The newest tests paint a picture of a pharaoh whose immune system was likely weakened by congenital diseases. His death came from complications from the broken leg - along with a new discovery: severe malaria.
The team said it found DNA of the malaria parasite in several of the mummies, some of the oldest ever isolated.
"Tutankhamun had multiple disorders... He might be envisioned as a young but frail king who needed canes to walk," the JAMA article said.
The revelations are in stark contrast to the popular image of a graceful boy-king as portrayed by the dazzling funerary artifacts in his tomb that later introduced much of the world to the glory of ancient Egypt.
They also highlighted the role genetics play in some diseases. The members of the 18th dynasty were closely inbred and the DNA studies found several genetic disorders in the mummies tested such as scoliosis, curvature of the spine, and club feet.
Dr. Howard Markel, a medical historian at the University of Michigan, said some of King Tut's ailments including his bone disease likely were the result of his parents' incestuous marriage. Children born to parents who are so closely related to each other would be prone to genetic problems, he said.
Like his father, Tutankhamun had a cleft palate. Like his grandfather, he had a club foot and suffered from Kohler's disease which inhibits the supply of blood to the bones of the foot.
In Tut's case it was slowly destroying the bones in his left foot - an often painful condition, the study said. It noted that 130 walking sticks and canes were discovered in Tut's tomb, some of them appeared to have been used.
The study is part of a wider program to test the DNA of hundreds of mummies to determine their identities and their family relations. To conduct the tests, Egypt built two DNA labs to follow international protocols for genetic testing.
Hawass, who had long opposed DNA testing on Egypt's mummies because it would have been performed outside the country, acknowledged his original skepticism. "I never thought that we would really reach a great important discovery," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! In honor of the day, I thought I'd share one of my favorite Etsy shops, which has a decidedly Mexican flavor. Artist Jose Pulido creates and sells prints and t-shirts using mostly Calavera imagery in his shop, Mis Nopales Art. Calavera is Spanish for "skull," and is associated with Day of the Dead celebrations. Yes, I'm aware that Day of the Dead is in October/November, and has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo, but just go with me on this one, okay?
Here are a few of my favorite items in his shop. I actually have the "Campfire" print in my living room (which you'll see if I ever get around to photographing and posting that room in my House Tour!)
And one more for good measure, just because it's AMAZING:
Today's the day I pick the winner for our first giveaway of a piece of jewelry from my own Etsy shop, Metal & Mud Designs!
In order to make it truly random, I used Random.org's "List Randomizer." I put in the names of each entrant, hit randomize, and the person in the top spot was our lucky winner!

After several years of a chin-length bob, I've decided to let my hair grow out. For a while, anyway. The goal is to get it long enough to do Locks of Love again (for the 3rd time), but we'll see if I can make it that long! At the moment, it's in a slightly awkward mid-length stage, and it's driving me NUTS. Time to break out the headbands again, and as luck would have it, I just stumbled across BeSomethingNew on Etsy the other day! The shop is geared toward bridal pieces, but there are several headbands that would work great for every day. Here are a few of my favorites:
Stay tuned tomorrow for my first giveaway, from my own Etsy shop, Metal & Mud!

A few months ago, I updated the layout of my Etsy shop. In preparation for the upcoming craft fair season, I decided to update my packaging and displays to match. So far I've worked on the tags. Next I need to start building the displays themselves. That part will be a lot more work, but I have some ideas for altering my current displays that I'm really excited about.

Meaning "tiny things" in Spanish, Cosas Mínimas is the Etsy shop of Blanca Gómez. Based in Madrid, Spain, Blanca is an illustrator with a wide variety of corporate clients, ranging from Dwell Magazine to Honda. The illustrations she sells in her Etsy shop are bright and fun, with simple, bold design. They would look just as at home in a kids room as in your living room! Here are a few of my favorites:
The past few days in Memphis have been gloriously warm, and it's given me a serious case of Spring Fever. Being cooped up in the office when it's this nice outside is just cruel! This is camping weather, people! What I wouldn't give to be sitting in front of a crackling fire with a beer, a guitar and good friends right now.

I write about business and technology.
I have to admit that I find this really rather amusing. Google has kept its word about one of the components of the various search services. As a result, Microsoft now attacks Google for doing precisely that.
At issue is the new campaign from Redmond, the "Scroogled" site. The basic contention is that when you search on Google then you only get shown those vendors who have paid to be included in the engine:
Bing is attacking Google over its shift to a pay-for-play shopping search engine through a new "Scroogled" site, pledging that Bing has "honest search." Great campaign, if it were true. It's not. Bing itself does the same things it accuses Google of. It's also another indictment of how little the FTC is doing to protect consumers from "search results" they might not realize are ads.
Well, yes and no.
Microsoft is launching its latest anti-Google campaign this week. A new Scroogled site has emerged that directly attacks Google's "unfair pay-to-rank shopping practices" says Microsoft. "Simply put, all of their shopping results are now paid ads," reads a statement on the site.
That's not quite true either.
Scroogled stresses how Bing is better than Google. It says, "In the beginning, Google preached, "Don't be evil"—but that changed on May 31, 2012. That's when Google Shopping announced a new initiative. Simply put, all of their shopping results are now paid ads."
The site adds: "In their under-the-radar announcement, Google admits they've now built "a purely commercial model" that delivers listings ranked by "bid price." Google Shopping is nothing more than a list of targeted ads that unsuspecting customers assume are search results. They call these "Product Listing Ads" a "truly great search.""
And that is true.
Under the new policy, which Google quietly rolled out in mid-October, the company highlights the products of paid advertisers on Google Shopping, its comparison-shopping service, while effectively discriminating against other companies who do not pay to be listed. For example, one company frequently missing in Google Shopping results is Amazon.com.
As is that.
Here's what is actually happening. At google.com you'll search for something and you'll be shown the standard results of the algorithm. You'll also be shown a variety of ads by people who have paid Google to show ads. These ads will be clearly marked as being different from the straight search results.
In other words, the results will be, tweaks to the algorithms aside, exactly the same as what you get at bing.com. Search results plus ads. We can always have fun arguing about whose algorithms are better but the essence of what is being delivered is the same.
Then if you go to google.com/shopping you'll be results purely from those who have paid Google to be included in the results. Bing does not offer this functionality. Google has previously announced that this is exactly and purely what /shopping is going to be doing.
At which point Microsoft attacks Google for a) offering something Bing does not and b) offering something that Google said it would.
Go figure.
>>>Then if you go to google.com/shopping you'll be results purely from those who have paid Google to be included in the results. Bing does not offer this functionality.<<<
Did you check, or did you guess?
Because if you checked you would see there is an option
Huge hint, go to BING , click "more" then "shopping"
And you get UNPAID results.
Really you should be ashamed to have written this story and not at least checked.
Bing has had shopping for years and years.
and yes they are unpaid, unlike google which has paid results. Please FIX your story.
Web Images Videos Maps News Local Shopping More
Tim, your last line "Go Figure" frames your actual statements as Microsoft is attacking Google because it offers a service that it doesn't.
Microsoft is not attacking Google because Microsoft DOESN'T have PAID-ONLY shopping results, but rather because Google DOES have PAID-ONLY shopping results. Do you get the difference?
Adding "Go Figure" reframes it as Microsoft is trying to quash something it CAN'T do, rather than is UNWILLING to do.
If you can't udnerstand this, then you are a sad person. I'd be ashamed if you were my dad. I am very very glad my dad is who he is – and honest standup guy.
Not someone trying to manipulate stock prices by trying to subtly weild an audience.
No, that is not what it says, I can fully comprehend English. And Microsoft does offer the same function as Google (ie shopping results)
The method by which that functionality is provided differs, but that is all. Both parties have a search offering for shopping.
The only way a consumer could tell that Google's are not actually search results is by clicking on the small "why these products" notice on the extreme right.
attempting to change the meaning of the sentence by rewording it in a response does not change what you wrote.
The intent is extremely clear, you are pretending there is doubt as to the validity of Microsoft's claim where as it is in fact fully substantiated.
Google is giving consumers paid advertisements instead of real shopping results.
Meanwhile Microsoft is giving consumers unpaid , free shopping results.
Your story taken in its entirety it written to cast doubts on Microsoft choice of campaign and suggesting MSFT does not even offer shopping results paid or otherwise is a complete red herring .
of course my comment is to Tim.
I'm having a very hard time understanding the argument as well.
Google says, "We are going to offer Paid-only Shopping Search"
Microsoft says, "Google is going to offer paid-only shopping search!"
Google offers paid-only shopping search.
Microsoft says, "Google offered paid-only shopping search!"
You don't seem to be getting this…
Doing a web search for a product is different than doing a shopping search. Different functionality, different goal.
Saying "Then if you go to google.com/shopping you'll be results purely from those who have paid Google to be included in the results. Bing does not offer this functionality." makes it seem like it's a benefit to have the shopping results be only from people who've paid Google, rather than by purchase price etc. the way it was done before and the way Bing currently continues to list them.
The whole point Bing is making is that google.com/shopping is no longer a shopping tool but rather an amalgamation of advertisements directed toward your specific search for a product.
This article is completely useless and misleading. I suggest you delete it.
I simply can't believe you wrote this story without making any real effort at all.
This type of thing needs to be dealt with.
What is the value in paid only results for the user? Those results of value should show up in the unpaid results, so why would a user bother with paid only results? I don't understand what the value proposition is for a user who knows the results are paid for.
The article is pretty straight foward.
Google and Bing both offer search results w/Ad mixed in and called out.
Google offers paid only advertisement with /shopping, and Bing doesn't have a paid only offering.
The article doesn't say that /shopping is good or bad, or tha it provides consumer value, it just points out a distinction and clarifies the misinformation Microsoft has put out.
It seems people are debating for the sake of debating.

Staff reports
Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Chairmen were appointed to five Niagara County Legislature standing committees by the Republican-led majority caucus this week.
Tony Nemi, R-Lockport, a retired city recreation director, will head up the administration committee, which has the final say over most legislation, including all bills that call for money to be spent.
Nemi is swapping chairmanships with former administration head William Keith McNall, R-Lockport, a Delphi retiree, who's been named chairman of the Community Services committee.
The latter committee keeps watch over issues and spending affecting the social services, employment and training, youth, aging, public health, mental health and history departments, as well as Niagara County Community College, the county clerk's and veterans services offices.
Legislator David Godfrey, R-Wilson, an information technology specialist, will head up the community safety and security committee, which oversees the sheriff's, district attorney's, indigent defense, probation and coroner's offices, and the Emergency Services department. Godfrey replaces outgoing CS&S Chair Paul Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda, an attorney who's been named chairman of the public works committee, which keeps tabs on the public works, parks, refuse disposal, sewer, water and weights/measures departments.
Majority caucus leadership picked one "new face" to lead a major legislative committee. Freshman legislator Kathryn Lance, R-Wheatfield, will chair the economic development committee that keeps tabs on the economic development department and the county Industrial Development Agency. Lance, a reading teacher in the Buffalo School District, replaces Majority Leader Richard Updegrove, R-Lockport, as chairman.
Per an amendment to the legislature's Rules of Order passed late last year, the majority and minority caucus leaders can no longer chair a standing committee. Nor can the legislature chairman or vice chairman.
Also per the amendment, the majority and minority leaders are filling committee seats proportionate to their caucus' shares of legislative seats.
Further, committees are reduced to five members a piece from seven members — which, minority caucus leader Dennis Virtuoso, D-Niagara Falls, pointed out, means a majority of three legislators, rather than five, can advance or sink legislation now.
In the overwhelmingly GOP-led legislature, the majority caucus named four members of every committee.
Committes and their full memberships are:
• Administration — Nemi; vice chairman Rick Updegrove; Godfrey; Wojtaszek; and Virtuoso.
• Community Safety & Security — Godfrey; vice chairman Clyde Burmaster, R-Ransomville, who is also legislature vice chairman; Nemi; Peter Smolinski, R-North Tonawanda; and Jason Zona, D-Niagara Falls.
• Community Services — McNall; vice chairman Cheree J. Copelin, R-Niagara Falls; Burmaster; Smolinski; and Owen Steed, D-Niagara Falls.
• Public Works — Wojtaszek; vice chairman John Syracuse, R-Newfane; Michael A. Hill, R-Middleport; Updegrove; and Steed.
• Economic Development — Lance, McNall, Copelin, Godfrey and Zona.

"I started CrossFit at a time where it seemed more like fight club than a gym. It was called 'the Stable' and you had to earn the right for people to accept you into this tight knit group. "What are you training for!?" Was yelled across the gym with the correct reply being "A glorious death", which was usually said by someone gasping for air, sometimes in tears from pure exhaustion. When I started there was no on-ramp class; they just threw you into the fire and you learned as you went. It was months before I felt like I had earned my place. That being said, I wouldn't have it any other way. It made me work harder, dig deeper. I kept thinking that all I had to do to worm my way in was to be the best.
It started with being the best female, though one late morning a conversation with Samy about wildlife ended with him telling me to stop trying to be the best female and instead just work towards being the best, period. In his words an 'apex predator of CrossFit'. It was that conversation that really started me on my path with CrossFit, it made me realize that my potential was as limitless as my own desire. I stopped caring about the weight of my body and instead focused on the weight on a barbell (though admittedly I might have cared too much about it at times and had my scores taken away from me a few times as punishment). The only time I weighed myself anymore was to see how much weight to put on the bar during body weight back squat or deadlift challenges.
This whole crazy journey started over three years ago, September 2009. Looking back on that first month, the workouts, the newness, the soreness, the sheer panic everytime I pulled up to the building… I can't believe I stayed. I felt overwhelmed, there was always a new movement to learn, heavier weights to be put on the bar, a better range of motion to be executed. I was introduced Tabata intervals and the gas mask on the same day (my birthday, actually). I left thinking that if I could make it through that, I could make it through anything. It was the first time that it had occurred to me everything was doable, no matter how terrible it looked on the white board, if I just chipped away at it, took it one movement, one round, one rep at a time I could accomplish or overcome anything. It after that day the butterflies started to lessen each time I pulled up to the building; I would panic less and less each time I heard '3.2.1…GO!'
As the years have passed, as I have watched a hundred people come in and out of these doors I am always amazed at how unique everyone is, the vast differences in their goals yet this place seems to provide everything they will need in realizing their own potential for success. The ability to view everyone as a unique individual while providing the attention to detail personal needs and goals deserve is something I have embraced and grown to love about this place. Its no longer just a ruthless fight club, there can be 20+ people in a class, but it is no less intense and everyone feels a part of this community, this family, as intimately as ever. I am honored to be a part of the coaching staff, to be entrusted by our members to see them safely through their training as they strive to realize an ever greater level of personal betterment.
It has been nothing short of inspiring to watch the growth of our members.
The family that has grown here has helped me grow as a person, to seek out ways to better myself. It has given me the courage to compete as well as to further my education through my masters degree in Conservation Biology. It was this community that supported me going to Cameroon on my own and studying in a primate sanctuary. I am humbled to be a part of this place and this community, to feel the support not only of my evolution as a CrossFitter but in endeavors far beyond the walls of this gym. CrossFit New Hampshire will always be my home, the people within these walls will always be my family."

The Hokies' game against the Hurricanes has everyone talking again.

Robert Cantu, M.D., and Mark Hyman
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
The game, as they say, is the thing.
It's the thing at your house, that's for sure. Ever since your child's friends started playing sports at school, it's been the number-one topic around. He craves competition. She wants to sign up yesterday. He sees trophies and medals and honestly, you see them, too. After all, having a pro athlete in the family is a good thing, right?
For your child, it's all about the game. Still, you've got lots of reservations and, according to Robert Cantu, M.D., that's great. In his new book "Concussions and Our Kids" (with Mark Hyman), you'll see how competition is important, but it's also potentially deadly.
Playing a team sport was something you enjoyed as a child and you want the same thing for your kids, too, but you worry. Even though your young athlete denies it, you've seen enough accidents on the field to know there's danger out there. Maybe you remember knocking noggins in a game yourself.
You wonder: are your kids safe enough in today's game?
Maybe not. Sports, says Cantu, are the "second leading cause of traumatic brain injury" for youth ages 15-24. Every sport, no matter how little contact there is between players, has some risk and helmets aren't always protection enough.
That's because a concussion can occur from something as minor as a hard bump or fall that snaps a player's head. Even if they're expecting it, a tackle or body check can jostle a child's brain enough to cause damage. If the player is under age 14, his muscles probably aren't mature enough to withstand a blow. And if there are multiple injuries, the danger multiplies, too.
To best protect your child, know the symptoms of concussion and be sure your child's coach knows them, too. Don't rely on helmets and don't waste your money on fad fixes. Insist on a baseline brain test before the sports season begins. Lobby for less violence in children's sports. "Calm down" and remember that the players are just kids. And don't accept "it's not cool" as an excuse not to wear protective gear.
That extra-padded helmet might not be "cool," but neither is being in a coma.
You wince. You gasp. You want to cover your eyes when your child takes a hit on the field, but you should never look away from the play. Read "Concussions and Our Kids" and learn why.
Knowledge is key when it comes to head trauma, and authors Robert Cantu and Mark Hyman do a thorough job in preparing parents to be eagle-eyed on the subject. There's a lot of information packed in this book, along with myth-busters, blunt words, worksheets, cautionary tales and one modern proverb that you can repeat to kids and coaches alike: "No head trauma is good head trauma."
There's always another ball season around the bend but before you sign that permission slip, read this book. With "Concussions and Our Kids" and the knowledge you'll gain, you'll see that sports sometimes ain't no game.

The Salem News
---- — The education challenges that Salem is overcoming with grants won from the federal government and partnerships forged with Salem State and others are a direct result of the Obama administration's policy of driving change by encouraging school districts to do difficult things.
Salem parents and students can expect further progress toward education reform with Obama's re-election and the leadership that has emerged in Salem since it was put on notice last fall that it was one step away from a state takeover.
The city garnered significant federal redesign grants that will infuse $1.5 million into Bentley Elementary alone. Students now spend an extra hour a day in school at Bentley, and Mayor Kim Driscoll, who also chairs the School Committee, has vowed to expand that added instruction time to the rest of the district.
Driscoll deserves credit for committing to change and stability. The city has brought in the respected school turnaround expert Dr. Roland Fryer, a Harvard economics professor who helped public schools in New York City and Houston.
Fryer, who spent two years studying public school systems around the country, has identified five ingredients for getting under-performing schools back on track. More common sense than magical, Fryer calls for students to spend more time in school, be tutored in small groups, and to learn in a culture of high expectations. He also says teachers should have plenty of training and development and high quality tools and data-driven instruction.
Since last fall when the state designated Salem's schools as underperforming, district officials have also secured major grants for Carlton Elementary ($45,000) and forged new partnerships with Salem State for summer programs for students and training for teachers, and added assistant principals to all the elementary schools. There is also a new educator evaluator system in place.
For genuine reforms to take hold, the schools need to know what knowledge students are retaining, not just how they perform on standardized tests. And they must take to heart Fryer's insistence that schools create a climate of high achievement.
Parents need look no farther than the Salem Academy, which Newsweek ranked in the top 500 high schools in the country and which Boston magazine deemed the best charter school in the Boston area, for a shining example of the kind of school the president has supported.
The progress to date in district schools and at Salem Academy is heartening. It is what the Obama administration intended in shifting from the stick of No Child Left Behind to the carrot of Race to the Top. Obama's approach forced district leaders and the teachers' union to join together and come up with a plan for how to spend federal grant money in good ways. That's how the president leads schools toward reform even if it's messy and sparks controversy.
But it would be a mistake to believe Salem is on a straight line out of the dire straits that invited a state takeover. The risk of complacency and stalled progress is too high. It takes sustained effort to challenge entrenched practices and a fatalistic mind set. Students have to know that the adults will keep their priorities straight and put their interests first.
Such changes do not come easily or quickly, and, while grants surely help, money is only part of the answer. The leadership provided by the Obama administration must be reinforced by his Democratic colleagues locally for sustained success.
Leadership on every level is essential. There is room for continued leadership at the state level to build on Governor Patrick's 2010 bill responding to Obama's Race to the Top.
Students need to spend more time in school and need help from well-trained and comprehensively evaluated instructors. The shackles on charter school expansion must be removed. The good news is that we'll have four more years of an administration in Washington that is focused on results.
Driscoll clearly understands the mission. She said at a public meeting in September when she introduced Fryer, "We can do this, and we have to do this."
Liam Kerr is the Massachusetts director of Democrats for Education Reform.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Tulane's basketball team fought hard against Miami (Fla.) in the opening game of the Charleston Classic on Thursday afternoon, but fell to the Hurricanes, 74-54, in Carolina First Arena on the campus of the College of Charleston.
Tulane (0-2) went back and forth with Miami (3-0) for much of the first half, including holding a 22-19 lead with 11:39 left in the half after a Johnny Mayhane jumper in the paint. The Hurricanes tied the game for the seventh time on their next possession with one of Adrian Thomas' three 3-pointers of the game.
Mayhane finished the game with four points and a team-high four rebounds.
The game would be tied two more times during the first half before the Hurricanes took a 31-26 lead into the locker room at the break.
"We played well in the first half and I thought our defense did a good job even though Miami's percentage was high," Tulane head coach Dave Dickerson said. "But, I thought we made some winning plays. Miami is a very good team and we played two really tough teams to start the year in Georgetown and then Miami."
The Green Wave opened the second half with Kris Richard's second of three 3-pointers to cut the lead to four, but Tulane would not get any closer than that the rest of the game.
Richard led Tulane with 13 points, while David Booker added 12 points off the bench. Kevin Sims, Tulane's leader scorer a season ago, was held to 0-8 shooting and failed to score a point.
Senior forward Dwayne Scott led Miami with 23 points and 14 rebounds on eight of eight shooting from the floor and seven of 12 from the line.
Adrian Thomas added 12 points and six rebounds for the Hurricanes and Durand Scott and Malcolm Grant each posted 10 points.
Miami shot 51.9 percent from the floor in the game, including 55.6 percent in the first half. The Hurricanes won the battle on the boards with 37 to Tulane's 25.
"In the second half we just could not put the ball in the basket enough to offset their athleticism," Dickerson added. "Now we have a short turnaround and we have to figure out how we can win the next game."
The Green Wave will still play two more games in the Charleston Classic and will face Penn State tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. CST and play another game on Sunday. Tomorrow's game will be broadcast live on CSS TV as well as the Tulane Sports Marketing Radio Network.

---- — As summertime approaches, state police are reminding the public about the right — and wrong — way to ride a motorcycle.
Police teamed up with the Derryfield School, a prep school in Manchester, to demonstrate the risks faced by motorcyclists who aren't safety-conscious.
Chris McNeil, a Latin teacher at the school and a professional stunt motorcyclist, performed a controlled crash to show just what can happen when not paying attention on a motorcycle.
"One of the reasons we're doing this today is educating on the appropriate ways to ride and the right gear to wear," he said.
McNeil put his motorcycle into a slide as he turned a bend at 35 mph, then allowed himself to lose control of his bike. McNeil was wearing full body gear and a helmet to demonstrate how the right gear and technique can help minimize the risk of injury.
"There's a proper way to do it so there's the least amount of injury," he said. "This will make it less of an impact than it could have been,"
More than 50 Derryfield students watched McNeil's demonstration and were amazed that McNeil could just walk away unscathed.
"I didn't think there was a way you could prevent or help your chances of not dying on a bike," said Lee Sipes, an eighth-grader from Windham.
Following the demonstration, state police Sgt. Joe DiRusso spoke on the importance of wearing a helmet.
"Wearing a helmet not only applies to a motorcycle but to when you're riding a bicycle as well," DiRusso told the students. "It makes a difference between a serious injury and walking away without one."
The police also have classes set up in conjunction with the Department of Motor Vehicles on the proper techniques of handling a motorcycle. Robert Letourneau of Derry has been teaching motorcycle safety courses since 1989 and says being safe makes a huge difference.
"Out of all the motorcycle fatalities in the state since we've began, less than 1 percent came from the 44,000 people who have taken our classes," Letourneau said.
Driver awareness is also something that state police have been emphasizing. Starting this month, signs on electronic billboards have informed motorists to be aware of motorcycles on the road.
"This is the time of the year when motorcycles are coming out," state police Capt. John LeLacheur said. "It's hard to see a motorcycle. We advise everyone to take an extra second before pulling out into traffic."
McNeill wore a bright red and white jumpsuit designed to make him more visible to motorists.
"We want everyone to wear helmets, boots, gloves, full jackets and pants below the ankles," Letourneau said.
The students also saw a demonstration of how helmet can make a difference. Brian Adie, a sixth-grader from Londonderry, dropped watermelons from a construction lift about 10 feet off the ground, some with helmets strapped on and others without helmets. The watermelons with helmets stayed intact, while the others exploded when they hit the ground.
"I learned that even if I fall off a hill while riding a bike without a helmet, I'm definitely going to get hurt, based on how smashed the helmet was," Adie said.

The Meridian Star
MERIDIAN — I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
This poem by Joyce Kilmer is known by practically everyone who has had an English class – or at least the first two lines. It is also often parodied by later poets who felt it too simplistic.
Do you ever read poetry? Was it only a subject you suffered through in English class. Did you ever read poetry outside of class? Or, was it only in jest with friends: "Roses are red, violets are blue, you look like a turkey and smell like one, too."
I was fortunate enough to have befriended Edward Hirsch, a contemporary poet from Chicago, who spent several months in New Orleans when I was there. He often spoke of his "muse" who kept him awake at night writing – which explained why I could hear his old typewriter banging away at all hours. Edward liked reading poetry aloud, lucky me. I had never had anyone show me the pleasures of poetry before then – aside from nursery rhymes read to me as a child.
Admittedly for me it was not an immediate affection, some poems have a natural rhythm which make it easy to be lulled by them; others are more difficult. It's a bit like a crossword puzzle ... some come easy, others not.
This year, Mississippi received another "first" in the realm of the arts. Did you know our state had more writers per capita than any other state in the nation?
On June 7, the appointment of Natasha Trethewey as the Library's Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2012-13 was announced. Trethewey was born in Gulfport on April 26, 1966. She is the author of four poetry collections and a book of creative non-fiction. Her honors include the Pulitzer Prize and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2012, she was appointed the State Poet Laureate of Mississippi.
Poetry enters our lives in more way than in a schoolroom. Think about pop tunes and advertising jingles. Do you remember small placards nailed to fence posts along country roads? The signs were about 200 feet apart and if you missed the second or consecutive sign you backed up to read it;
"Dinah doesn't – Treat him – Right – But he'd – Shaved – Dynamite – Burma Shave."
How about these spread apart signs?
"The monkey took – One look at Jim – And threw the peanuts – Back at him – He needed – Burma Shave"
All these poems are an enticement of sorts. Catherine Horne will be leading a new "Reading for Pleasure" class to begin after Thanksgiving week. Her first topic will be on poetry. Don't know anything about poetry? Not to worry, it will be entertaining – and you might learn something! Call (601) 485-1812 if interested.

am planing on removing the air con for good, does anybody know what timing belt i can use to take up the slack?
am planing on removing the air con for good, does anybody know what timing belt i can use to take up the slack?
i found out myself got the part number and everything, so if you want to remove your air con you can find out for your bloody self. now am taking my ball and going home
oh, and for everyone else....
without aircon, the belt is p/n 06A145933D (1120mm)
and with aircon, the belt is p/n 06A260849E (double sided)
where was you yesterday, that could have saved me alot of time lol. by the vee belt do you mean the secondary belt that drives the power steering aswell?
why would you want to remove your aircon system matey?
Prawns TFSI Turbo'd 1.8T Track Car
Aircon has about the same power consumption as the effect of driving along with all your windows open - and i bet you can't notice the difference with that. I wouldnt bother devaluing your car if I were you
Just seems a shame to rip it out for no gain. The weight saved will be so minimal it'll make no difference. but it does mean your screen will take ages to defrost, and you'll get incredibly hot in summer!
Prawns TFSI Turbo'd 1.8T Track Car
i take your points onboard but your all wrong and i am right lol. its just an idea at the moment, am going to look into it abit before ripping it out if i do

HOUSTON – A few scattered showers will move through southeast Texas early Tuesday afternoon, but for most people it will just be hot, humid, and sunny, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Brooks Garner.
We'll top out around 96 degrees with a 20-percent chance for rain. Enjoy the rain if you get it, because the chances are diminishing for the rest of the week.
High pressure is building in, pushing our temperatures higher in the coming days. Garner says we could see our first triple digit temps this week.
On Sunday and Monday a chance for scattered showers returns.
Looking to the Tropics, things remain calm with no disturbances for the foreseeable future. On the Pacific side, Hurricane Cosme formed off the west coast of Mexico. It's heading west and is not expected to impact the mainland.

Why I Do Not Like Providing Health Insurance to My EmployeesCHP/PCOR Op-ed: Washington Monthly on April 6, 2012
Harold Pollack notes a number of advantages of employer-based health insurance, including the potential for large employers to serve as more reliable (and potentially wiser) purchasing agents than are individuals at sea in the health insurance market. But my experience as an employer makes me intensely dislike this feature of the U.S. health insurance system nonetheless.

Supporters and opponents of the federal health care law are squaring off in Nebraska in advance of a legislative briefing on the state's efforts to comply.
The executive director of Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska cheered Republican Gov. Dave Heineman Wednesday for his promise to fight any effort to expand Medicaid coverage. Meanwhile, Democratic U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson accused Heineman of stalling to delay implementation of the law.
The Legislature's Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee is scheduled to meet Thursday for an update on the state's progress in following the law's requirements. Committee members are not expected to consider any bills, but Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad sent a letter to the panel's two top lawmakers urging them to open the briefing for public testimony.

The Money Ballers: JR A Edition
Entering Week 6 of this thing and we finally see the guy at the top of the leaderboard that I'm sure most would have picked as their favorite for our JR A Money Baller champ… Six Nations Arrow's forward Cody Jamieson.
Even with his boys dropping a couple pretty hard to Burlington and Orangeville and then barely squeaking by an amped up Missy Tommies, Jamieson still made sure his stick was on almost every clutch goal the orange-and-white buried as they slipped in the standings, and likely the National Junior A Ranking (check back Wednesday for that).

Overview of the Centre
Difficult problems can offer too many choices, many of which are incompatible, few of which are optimal. The Cork Constraint Computation Centre develops the basic science that will make it easier for computers to help us make these choices. We work with Irish and multinational industry to put our technology to practical use.
Constraints arise in design and configuration, planning and scheduling, diagnosis and testing, and in many other contexts. Constraint programming can solve problems in telecommunications, internet commerce, electronics, bioinformatics, transportation, network management, supply chain management, and many other fields.
The Cork Constraint Computation Centre (4C) was established at University College Cork with initial funding from Science Foundation Ireland in the form of a Principal Investigator Award to the Centre Director, Science Foundation Ireland Research Professor Eugene C. Freuder. 4C was formed when Professor Freuder moved his research lab from the University of New Hampshire in the U.S., in October of 2001, to merge with the UCC Department of Computer Science Constraint Processing Group, headed by Professor James Bowen.
Constraint programming already has wide commercial application, but much remains to be done to fully explore and exploit the technology. We apply advances in artificial intelligence and other disciplines to make constraint programming easier to use and more useful.

Evan Lysacek missed out yet another competition when he withdrew from the 2013 U.S. Figure Skating Championships earlier this month, but that doesn't mean the 27-year-old skater has moved beyond figure skating.
Far from it, in fact. Lysacek, who is the defending gold medalist in the men's competition, has big plans for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.
There, Lysacek hopes to capture two Olympic gold medals. First, he plans to defend his Olympic title in the men's competition. Should Lysacek defend his gold medal, he will become the first man to win back-to-back gold medals since Dick Button did so in 1952.
A second gold medal would be possible for Lysacek in the team competition, as the 2014 Olympic Games will feature the first team competition in figure skating. The team event will feature one male, one female, one pair and one ice dance couple, and the teams with the highest combined scores at the end will be awarded medals.
In order to be a part of that team, Lysacek will have to stay healthy and earn a spot on the 2014 Olympic team. Currently, Lysacek is recovering from the surgery he had in November to correct a sports hernia. Before that, he was dealing with a groin injury.
But he's past his injuries now, Lysacek said during a press conference, and he's ready to compete again.
"(Missing the U.S. Championships is) disappointing, because health-wise I'm fine," Lysacek said during the press conference. "Due to the long layoff from the surgery I still need about three more weeks to get back into competition form. The good news is I am finally healthy, back to a full training schedule and already working hard to be ready for next season to defend my Olympic title at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi."
Lysacek has not skated during a competition since he won his Olympic gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. Instead, he took some time away from the sport, during which he was a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." He finished in second place during his season.
Lysacek's break from the sport offered an opportunity for another American male to breakout and emerge as the next superstar, but no one has done so. Instead, his absence has been felt throughout the skating community. Before his break, Lysacek was known for his consistent ability to place highly in international competitions. Since he's been away from the sport, though, not one American male has stepped onto the podium in a major international competition.

In addition, she also spent time working for the United States Olympic Committee, where she had the opportunity to immerse herself in the Olympic Movement while learning about each Olympic sport.

BUNN — With starting quarterback Deshawn High unavailable due to an ankle injury, Bunn turned to its other offensive weapons -- along with a staunch defense -- to secure a first-round victory Friday against North Brunswick in the Class 2-AA State Football Playoffs.
Senior running back Tarik Cohen rushed for 262 yards and three touchdowns, and Dillon Autrey found Johnathan Alston on three passes for 100 yards as Bunn blitzed the Scorpions by a 36-0 margin.
On defense, the Wildcats limited North Brunswick to 140 yards while forcing seven turnovers en route to eliminating the Scorpions for the second straight season.
Cohen is a Division I athlete, and Dillon played a great game, said BHS head coach Chris Miller. Dillon did exactly what we wanted him to do, and the guys rallied around him.
Bunn moved into the second round with a 9-2 overall record, while North Brunswicks campaign ended at 6-6.
The Wildcats will host SouthWest Edgecombe next Friday.
Cohen got the Wildcats going on their first series of the game with a long burst that set up a 26-yard field goal from Freeman Jones.
After forcing a Scorpions punt, Bunns Autrey, who was subbing for High, located Alston for a 48-yard touchdown pass that gave Bunn a 10-0 advantage with 1:08 remaining in the opening quarter.
The Wildcats next drive ended with a fumble, but the Scorpions misplayed a handoff into the end zone for a BHS safety.
After the ensuing kick, Bunn put together an 8-play, 45-yard drive that featured a 21-yard pass from Autrey to Alston -- along with four runs from Cohen.
Cohens final attempt resulted in a 5-yard touchdown, and Bunn was in command at 19-0 just 48 ticks before intermission.
Cohen tacked on two more rushing scores in the second half as the Wildcats continued to pull away.

Aggies are making their way back to campus.
Saturday was the first day for dorm move-ins. Most of the students moving in Saturday will be leaving for Fish Camp Sunday.
The big change is leaving a few freshman with mixed emotions.
"I'm definitely wishing the summer was still going," said incoming freshman Zach Scott. "Eighteen years back home and having to move out here is a pretty big change, but I don't think it's really hit me yet. By the time I get everything out of the box and she's (Mom's) finally headed off, then it'll probably hit me"
While lots of parents and kids were busying hauling in boxes and TVs Saturday, experienced sophomores say Saturday's crowd is nothing compared to what Sunday's rush will be like. Be prepared for heavy traffic on campus as the Ags move in to their dorms.
