"Being ranked 24th was a fair place to start us in the poll this year," eighth-year head coach Don Carthel said. "We have a good nucleus back on offense and some quality players back on defense."
The Buffaloes were picked third in the Lone Star Conference at the annual league media day last month. League favorite Midwestern State is fourth in the AFCA poll, while Abilene Christian is 10th who was second in the preseason league coaches' poll. Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference member Colorado State-Pueblo is sixth in the first AFCA poll, rounding out three opponents in the AFCA Top 10 for the Buffaloes.
West Texas A&M will open the 2012 season at CSU-Pueblo Thurs., Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. CT in Pueblo, Colo. The Thunderwolves went undefeated during the regular season, going 11-0 and were ranked No. 1 in the final regular season poll before losing to Minnesota-Duluth 24-21 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. CSU-Pueblo edged the Buffaloes 26-24 in the season opener last year in Canyon.
"To get three opponents in the top 10 on our schedule is pretty typical for us," Carthel added. "CSU-Pueblo has a lot of talent coming back and are a tremendous team. "They don't make mistakes and are very well coached and it's going to be a big test for the Buffaloes the opening weekend in Pueblo."
In addition to those three teams, the Buffaloes also will face three teams receiving votes in the preseason poll. Lone Star Conference rival Texas A&M-Kingsville had 32 votes, while Tarleton State and Gulf South Conference member West Georgia each had nine votes. The Buffaloes and TAMUK will again battle in the Lone Star Football Festival at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. WTAMU won last year's meeting 42-21 over the then-No. 5 Javelinas.
WTAMU went 8-3 overall last season finishing the season ranked 25th in the final AFCA poll after a 26-7 victory over then-No. 23 Central Missouri in the Lower Kanza Bowl on Nov. 27, 2011, in Topeka, Kan.

ON Fish Oils - Enteric Coated 200 Softgels
Daily Usefulness
I started by buying the 100ct one but then I progressed and decided to just get 200s instead because it's more price-savvy. Besides, this definitely should be a staple on your supplement list. Take one (or 2) after every meal and you're all set! I like the fact that it has enteric coating rather than gelatine coating which I can't take.
Driven Sports (DS) Lean Xtreme - 90 Caps
Good Results
I usually go for the thermogenic fat burners but thought id give this a go as it had good reviews. I stacked it with BBW Caffeine tabs as I do like the caffeine stim affects. I used for one month and at the end of the month there was defiantly more definition around my abs than usual. Would deffo recommend.
Bodybuilding Warehouse Fitted T-Shirt
Lovely t-shirt and great for promotional wear. I'd recommend you buy a size up from what you would usually wear as they are quite tight. As for the price, I bought one at the BodyPower 2013 for just £7.50 from the Bodybuilding Warehouse stall.
*Bodybuilding Warehouse Whey IsoClear - 907g
Good Stuff
Using this as an aid to weight loss, combining it with BBW Flapjacks...makes for a filling snack/meal. No issue with the froth...I`m a big boy now and don`t mind a few bubbles :) Make up a litre bottle of this in the morning and drink it all day...saves eating rubbish as fillers. Good product BBW. Tropical crush is my prefered flavour.

Beauty Is… Video provided by: TruthMedia Films
Download "Beauty Is…"
If you were to pick one word to describe "beauty", which word would you choose? Would you think to stand in front of a mirror and be captivated by the beauty of God's creation? Or would you drive out to the mountain and marvel at the beauty of nature? Take a look at the Cross, an image of God's painfully beautiful expression of Love –it is certainly impossible to narrow down the definition of beauty into one all-sufficient description; rather, beauty can be explained, experienced, and felt in a multitude of ways.
Take the next step:
Does your soul crave beauty?
Wondering how to be happy and content?
Understanding the beauty of the Cross
2 Responses to "Beauty Is…"
Beauty is knowing that I have nothing to fear because wherever I am, God is and his power will protect me from the darkest of days. In a big storm, we need more help than friends can give us – or money can buy – or great resources can provide. We need help from the Lord. "Some trust in chariots and some in horses but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." He is bigger than any storm we will ever face. God's word is beautiful to me.

FULTON COUNTY, N.Y. -- Broadalbin-Perth approves its $2 million capital project by a wide margin of 328 to 97.
Most of the money will go toward replacing roofing at both Broadalbin and Perth campuses.
About $450,000 will be used to install wireless Internet in all the school buildings and $65,000 will be used to buy 40 acres of land that will later be used for additional parking.

Easing the Transition to NPIs |
Two organizations are now offering prescriber files to help pharmacists populate their doctor files with the new national provider identifier (NPI) required under the HIPAA legislation. The National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP ) has announced the availability of HCIdea v2.0, a relational database with more than 1.3 million prescribers that includes the crosswalking of the physicians NPI to his or her DEA number. The HCIdea database includes multiple addresses, legacy identifiers, DEA numbers, state license information, and the corresponding NPI. HCIdea also offers optional data-enhanced services available from Ingenix, its business partner, which are customized by subscriber and range from simple NPI population of proprietary databases to full data compare-and-correction services. The Council is offering the database to Medicaid agencies for one year, with monthly updates, at no charge. In return, Medicaid agencies must agree to provide NCPDP, through Ingenix, with a file of prescriber Medicaid IDs in order to enable an NCPDP crosswalk of the NPI to Medicaid ID needed for some agencies. The HCIdea online lookup lets pharmacies obtain prescriber address, phone, licensure, DEA, and NPI information using a web browser. For a demo go to www.HCIdeaLookUp.org and click on watch the demo. The other organization that is providing a prescriber NPI database is Fort Worth, Texas-based PDX-NHIN . The company has entered into an agreement with Health Market Science (HMS) of Philadelphia to jointly market to PDX pharmacy system users the HMS Prescriber Master File. This file contains more than 1.8 million prescriber records, including more than 1 million with NPIs. After determining that state license numbers would be required to adequately link to the NPI data, and that obtaining this information in a reasonable and timely manner from hundreds of different primary sources would be a challenge, the company decided to select HMS as its preferred provider of prescriber information. Jeff Farris, president of PDX-NHIN-Rx.com, says that HMS is the recognized leader in providing prescriber information to the healthcare industry. The HMS database will be provided through NHIN and will allow PDX customers to access the information using PDX distributed processing, a real-time access feature of the PDX pharmacy system. Pharmacies can select and add missing prescriber records to a local database or select and update missing information on prescriber records. |

Polymer clay's history as an art media is only decades long, unlike many media that have been around for centuries and have long traditions. This newness means that there is a great deal of innovation by users of polymer clay. Often, ideas are born by borrowing from the traditions of some other materials, such as metalworking (mokume gane), ceramics, glass (millefiore), paper, etc.
Polymer clay hardens by curing at temperatures created in a typical home oven (generally at 265 to 275 F (129 to 135 C), for 15 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) of thickness), and does not shrink or change texture during the process. When properly cured, most clays create items which won't break if dropped or normally stressed. It also comes in liquid form and in permanently flexible solid form. A piece may have additional layers or enhancments added to it, and re-cured with no ill effect. As long as the maximum curing temperature is not exceeded there is no limit to the number of times a piece can be re-cured.
Few tools are essential for use with polymer clay, and these can often be found around the house. A pasta machine is often used to create evenly flat sheets, to mix colors, to condition the clay, and to create patterned sheets.
Polymer clay is available in many colors. Special-effect colors such as transluscent and micas, -containing "metallics," and "stone" colors are also available. Clays can be mixed together to create new colors, gradient blends, or other effects. Judith Skinner was credited with a technique to use the pasta machine to create a gradient blended sheet of color. This technique is used frequently in many other applications and is one of the early skills developed by hobbyists or artists in the media.
Polymer clay can be colored with other media. Paint, ink, colored pencil, chalk, metallic (mica-containing) powder, metallic leaf, foil, glitter, and embossing powder can be applied to the surface. The same materials also can be mixed in as inclusions; this is often done with translucent clay. When acrylic paint is cured onto the surface, it forms a permanent bond with the surface.
After it has cured, the clay surface can be left as it is, it can be sanded and buffed, or it can be finished with a varnish.
This description was taken from Wikepedia, the free Enclyclopedia.
Liquid Clay
A number of Liquid Clay are currently on the market. Ranging from Sculpey's Translucent Liquid Sculpey (TLS), to Fimo Gel, liquid clay and lastly Donna Kato's liquid clear medium.
Liquid polymer clays opens a whole new arena for artists and crafters alike! It is a bakable transfer medium for the new millennium! When artist's oil paints are mixed with it, it can be an enamel, a glaze, or a backfilling compound. When pigments or mica powders are mixed with it, it can be a stipple, a metallic glaze, or a grout for polymer clay mosaics.
Liquid Clay is a fantastic transfer medium, also. It is a terrific adhesive agent. Its adhesive qualities are activated only after baking. It increases the clay to clay bond between raw layers of clay, and when adding raw layers to previously baked layers. Baking temperatures are similar to solid polymer clay, but translucence increases when the temperature is bumped to 300 degrees for a short period of time. This technique takes careful attention and a well calibrated oven.
Both Satin and Gloss varnishes are available and are an essential item to your craft box, the gloss highlights the intensity of colours whilst protecting your projects, your gloss will also seal embellishments which have been applied to your polymer clay such as pearlex powders, paints and foils and repel water.

WHEATON, Ill. - A decisive run late in the second half was the difference as the Lakeland College women's basketball team fell 48-41 to Maryville, Mo., in the first round of the NCAA Division III Basketball Tournament here Friday night.
A pair of Brenda Paulson free throws brought the Muskies, who finish the year 21-8, within two at 40-38 with 4:09 to play.
But 23rd-ranked Maryville, which improves to 24-4 thanks to its 19th straight win this season, went on an 8-0 run over the next two minutes, and grabbed the only double-digit lead of the game, 48-38, with 2:17 to play.
"Take those two minutes out, and maybe the result would have been different," said Lakeland head coach April Arvan. "We ran out of gas, and we ran out of time. We needed the game to be about 4 minutes shorter."
The game was tied at 18 at the half as Maryville, which finished 30 points under its scoring average (77 points per game), shot just 22 percent in the opening 20 minutes.
But the Muskies, the nation's second-best defensive team, shot just 27 percent in the second half, and finished the game with 26 turnovers thanks in large part to the Saints' stifling, relentless full-court pressure.
"Those were good looks, they just did not fall," Arvan said. "That's been the tale for us all season - sometimes the shots drop, and sometimes they don't. I don't think it was fatigue. We've been playing some kids 40 minutes all season and they're used to that."
Maryville hounded Lakeland senior point guard Kristi Thill, who finished with six points on 1-of-11 shooting. Sophomore Jenna Boehm led all scorers with 15 points, the Muskies' only player in double digits.
"We knew they were going to get all over (Thill)," Arvan said. "To take Kristi out of the game it's like taking our pulse away. But what I was impressed with was our entire team battled. They were tough on Kristi, but our supporting cast fought hard.
"That style is so foreign to us, it's difficult for us as a staff to replicate that. We had a week to prepare, but nothing we did in practice compared to what they did to us."
It's the first NCAA Tournament win for Maryville's program, while the Muskies, who won the rebound battle 43-33, drop to 1-5 in NCAA play.
"The puffy eyes you see now are not because we lost," Arvan said. "That's a bit of a stinger because we're competitors. We're going to miss each other tremendously. It's going to take time to recover from the fact that we're not going to see each other every day."

St. Charles County Restaurant Inspection Roundup
Check out the most recent food inspection reports from St. Charles County Health Department.
St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment regularly inspects food service establishments throughout St. Charles County, except for within limits of St. Peters.
Businesses are inspected one to four times a year or after public complaints. "Lower-risk" places, like gas-stations that serve pre-packaged foods, are inspected less often than "higher-risk" places, like a restaurant, said Doug Bolnick, spokesman for the health department.
The establishments begin with a score of 100 and points are deducted based on the severity of problems observed. According to the department's website, a low score does not mean the restaurant was unsafe on the day of the inspection.
"A place could have just one deficiency that garners a relatively 'high' score out of 100, but that the problem is so critical, it forces immediate action – while another may have two or three non-critical deficiencies that would give that provider a lower total score," said Bolnick.
Below, find links to stories featuring inspections of restaurants throughout the county. To look up other scores, visit the health department's Food Inspection page.

A house in Orange is heavily damaged following a fire that was reported just after 10 a.m. Wednesday. The house is located at 1924 International Drive.
The first firefighters to arrive reported heavy fire and smoke coming from the rear of the home. Fire crews quickly learned that the family that lived in the home had left a short time before.
The fire spread quickly to the second story, fanned by a strong north wind. It took over 30 minutes to bring the fire under control. The family was notified by neighbors that their home was on fire and returned before fire crews had the fire under control.
Firefighters say the family of five was devastated by the extent of the fire damage. No injuries were reported as a direct result from the fire yet two of the family members were treated by Acadian Ambulance service for non-life threatening conditions.
A spectator at the scene was also treated by Acadian for an injury sustained when they fell on the street and injured their nose.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fire investigators say it appears to be accidental.
The home was insured and the agent was at the scene.
Fire crews remained on the scene for over four hours insuring all fire was extinguished and the family was cared for.

No, I didn't cherry pick at all - I took all those quotes about perceptions from the first four pages or so. Hardly a concerted effort to 'cherry pick'. I didn;t need to cherry pick - it was right there from the start - and that's how it continues for pages and pages - explosion after blast after charge after percussion after bomb.
You've already made your position clear by saying there's no need to test for explosives. We know your angle; we know your bias; we know you're wrong on this point.
Do you agree that tests should be done as a matter of procedure? Process of elimination?

I have memory of myself about concerns voiced by the media during the live coverage that explosives could have been planted in the buildings or additional explosives on the aircraft, etc. . . . why would this not be run to ground . . . by any competent investigator . . . ??
The only thing guaranteed in life is deception. . . everything else is optional . . . George B
First four pages of what? The first few references to explosions on the combined record are:
Content from external source:
he did tell the camera crew to step back because we were concerned about falling glass. We assumed from the last explosion that there were big big chunks of glass coming down from somewhere. So he told them to get back against the building.
Content from external source:
We looked up at the building straight up, we were that close. All we saw was a puff of smoke coming from about 2 thirds of the way up. Some people thought it was an explosion. I don't think I remember that. I remember seeing, it looked like sparkling around one specific layer of the building. I assume now that that was either windows starting to collapse like tinsel or something. Then the building started to come down.
Content from external source:
There was a fire that started there and it was spreading to other cars and once in awhile you'd have some explosions there and the fire actually after a period of time got pretty big because it was multiple cars. Several cars were going at once. So some debris from the building was burning and must have landed there and started these cars on fire.
I don't see any compelling reason to test for explosives. If there were explosives then there would be a vast amount of other evidence of those explosives. Lacking that evidence, then there's no reason to test for them.
But haven't the conspiracy theorists done their own tests? So what's the problem?
This video shows an immediate recognition by a famous newscaster of the appearance of a controlled demolition . . . seems the investigation would want ot rule this possibility out . . . as in testing for explosives . . .

As this thread has moved so far from the original topic, I'm moving it to the Off-Topic forum.
George B (April 15th, 2012)
Yes...snippets - taken out of context- from which you draw your own biased conclusions.
No regard for the actual context of the comment...the time, place etc...just the word "bomb" and thus it must be so.
The first responder quotes are from all over the timeline of that day- they are speaking of various moments from their arrival on scene to collapse.
Other "eyewitness" accounts of "bombs" are from the moment of impact to collapse.
Take them out context, collect them all together and it looks impressive.
Put them in context and its look nothing like a description of a controlled demolition.
Fully loaded jet planes rammed into buildings at ~500mph- causing major structural damage across multiple floors and raging fires across multiple floors..and yet you find it suspicious that people heard things explode....you find suspicious that, in buildings that had previously had been bombed before and were clearly under attack that day, they thought the explosions they heard sounded like "bombs".

And just a reminder of what demolition charges actually sound like:
General Checklist for a simple fire investigation . . . include the need for a thorough investigation . . .
Content from external source
B. Preliminary Scene Examination*
1. Here is a summary of tasks to be completed at the fire scene:
a. Remove all debris not germane to the fire cause.
b. Cleanse all tools before bringing them into the area of origin (AO) andestablish an evidence collection area, where tools and evidence containersshould be assembled.
c. Replace furniture, appliances and other materials to their pre-firepositions using the maps drawn by the occupants.
d. Analyze fire flow patterns, damage patterns and evidence like shields andshadows, beveling, inverted cone burn patterns, etc. Document evidence withphotos, diagrams and notes.
e. Examine and document each potential accidental ignition source in the AO.Do this even if there is gross evidence of arson.
f. Diagram the room of origin with accurate shape, dimensions, windows,doors and other key features plus locations of key items and areas of evidence.Record ceiling com-position and wall and floor surfaces on the diagram. Measuremovable items of evidence with a tape from fixed locations. With tape measure,diagram and measure building exterior. Show first floor and basemententrance/exit points with lock types and conditions. Orient all drawings tonorth with a magnetic compass.
g. Document and collect physical evidence using appropriate methods.
h. Call in experts for advice if required (electrical inspectors, furnacetechnicians, etc.)
i. Contact arson prosecutor before releasing the scene to see if he/shewould like to tour it with the investigation team.
2. Initial procedures for fire investigators at the scene include--
a. Check for possible secondary incendiary devices
b. Check license plates of automobiles in the area of the fire
c. Ensure that access to the scene is under control
Access to the fire scene must be controlled to avoid scene contamination andinjuries. Law enforcement agencies usually handle site access.
In small residential or building fires, investigators work from the outsideto the inside of the building. In large fires or explosions a search strategymust be devised and followed by investigators.
3. At the scene, investigators should note--
a. activities in the area before and after the fire started
b. location of all electrical and heating equipment
c. smoke and heat patterns and structural damages (including any fire"V" patterns)
d. dimensions, type of construction and furnishings
e. depth of char on items
4. Secure the area--
Don't rush to give up the scene. Take your time with each of these steps.
a. Defer overhaul of the scene until a thorough examination of the scene iscompleted.
b. Secure and seal off the area with police barriers, ropes, etc.
c. Restrict entrance to the scene - including officers, other investigatorsand news media. (Anyone entering the scene should be prepared to offer courttestimony about his or her reasons for entering.)
d. Arrange for a patrol of the area while the investigation is pending.
e. Searches and seizures must be lawful, administrative (based on statute)or with warrant based on probable cause. f. Generally the property owner oroccupant's consent is required to search the scene if the fire scene has beenreleased by the fire department or time has elapsed since the fire.

8. Why didn't NIST consider a "controlled demolition" hypothesis with matching computer modeling and explanation like it did for the "pancake theory" hypothesis?
NIST conducted an extremely thorough three-year investigation that included consideration of a number of hypotheses for the collapses of the WTC towers.
Some 200 technical experts—including about 85 career NIST experts and 125 leading experts from the private sector and academia—reviewed tens of thousands of documents, interviewed more than 1,000 people, reviewed 7,000 segments of video footage and 7,000 photographs, analyzed 236 pieces of steel from the wreckage, performed laboratory tests, and created sophisticated computer simulations of the sequence of events that occurred from the moment the aircraft struck the towers until they began to collapse.
Based on its comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed according to the scenario detailed in the response to Question 6.
Video evidence also showed unambiguously that the collapse progressed from the top to the bottom, and there was no evidence (collected by NIST or by the New York City Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department, or the Fire Department of New York) of any blast or explosions in the region below the impact and fire floors as the top building sections (including and above the 98th floor in WTC 1 and the 82nd floor in WTC 2) began their downward movement upon collapse initiation.
In summary, NIST found no corroborating evidence for alternative hypotheses suggesting that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition using explosives. NIST also did not find any evidence that missiles were fired at or hit the towers. Instead, photographs and videos from several angles clearly show that the collapse initiated at the fire and impact floors and that the collapse progressed from the initiating floors downward until the dust clouds obscured the view.
22. Did the NIST investigation look for evidence of the WTC towers being brought down by controlled demolition? Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues?NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.
The responses to previous questions demonstrate why NIST concluded that there were no explosives or controlled demolition involved in the collapses of the WTC towers.
As for thermite (a mixture of powdered or granular aluminum metal and powdered iron oxide that burns at extremely high temperatures when ignited), it burns slowly relative to explosive materials and would require several minutes in contact with a massive steel section to heat it to a temperature that would result in substantial weakening. Separate from the WTC towers investigation, NIST researchers estimated that at least 0.13 pounds of thermite would be required to heat each pound of a steel section to approximately 700 degrees Celsius (the temperature at which steel weakens substantially). Therefore, while a thermite reaction can cut through large steel columns, many thousands of pounds of thermite would need to have been placed inconspicuously ahead of time, remotely ignited, and somehow held in direct contact with the surface of hundreds of massive structural components to weaken the building. This makes it an unlikely substance for achieving a controlled demolition.
Analysis of the WTC steel for the elements in thermite/thermate would not necessarily have been conclusive. The metal compounds also would have been present in the construction materials making up the WTC towers, and sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard that was prevalent in the interior partitions.
Seems to get a controlled collapse even on a computer one needs to balance the fall by zigzagging the explosions . . .

4.3 Multibody analysis
The simulation of the multibody model described above is executed on a Intel Xeon CPU
[email protected], 2GB RAM machine. It is to be mentioned that the simulation duration of 3 s
requires approximately 2 h of calculation time. At the beginning, the supported structures on
the 5th floor are removed from the simulation model. By that, the upper part of the building
starts to bend down due to the dead load. As the remaining columns on the 5
th floor fail to
support the vertical dead load of the upper part because the compression stress is exceeded, the
building collapses also in the vertical direction. Hence, a combined collapse is occurring. After
1.5 s, two rows of columns and a part of the shear walls on the 2
nd and the ground floors have
been removed in a zigzag shape. Accordingly, the simulation continues until the model reaches
the full collapse at time 3 s after the explosion. The deformations of the building obtained from
CADCE at different time sequences during the simulation are depicted in figure 7.

He can't see it. One must surmise there are one of two possible reasons for this stance. First is a psychological position needing to adhere to all that has gone before; trust in the system; belief in the well-meaning, but also somewhat incompetent and ultimately benign, levels of government such as he perceives them. He can't allow himself to see the chasm between his expectation and reality because that would require a paradigm re-evaluation, and he doesn't want that. He's thinking about how real his bank balance is. It's not that easy...The second reason might be that he really believes what he says. Anything's possible - who am I to say with any conviction?

But there WAS a comprehensive investigation. You just don't think it was good enough. NIST had an investigation where:

I've read their report, it seems fine. I see no evidence of any cause for collapse beyond what is in the report.
You and Richard Gage disagree. You don't trust the experts because you think they are part of the conspiracy. You raise what seems like to you to be reasonable objection. But you are far, far in the minority opinion, and unfortunately have shown that you don't really understand many of the concepts you use in your objections, like dynamic loading, or Newton's second law of motion.
I say unfortunately, because even though it's apparent that you don't fully understand these things, you simply laugh at any suggestion to that effect, and make zero attempt to reconcile any differences in interpretation, preferring instead to mock. It's unfortunate because it's not going anywhere.
Discussion like these should not really be about the people involved in the discussion, they should be about the facts. But when people ignore the facts, and they keep ignoring them after their errors have been pointed out, then eventually you've got to ask why.
I'm a debunker. I'm interested in getting rid of bunk. That's it.
I'm curious as to why lee and George choose to come here to debate, and not JREF or ATS, where there are people who are far more interested in the topic than here?

We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story to justify re-opening the 9/11 investigation. The new investigation must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.

I'm not that impressed. There are 105,000 registered architects in the US. Significantly less than 1% of then signed the petition. How many of them have worked on buildings like the WTC?
A lot of the people on that petition have no relevant experience.
I'd take three people who are actively working on construction or maintenance of tall structures, specifically on failure analysis.
Actually, I'd probably take one. I'd certainly listen to what he is saying, and check his math.
It's very interesting reading:
It's almost entirely the argument from personal incredulity, and sprinkled with the usual talking points.
Content from external source:
The "official" 9/11 story seems to violate laws of physics and engineering analysis, specifically with respect to the collapse speed and the temperatures of molten iron. The only explanation that seems to be in accordance with all observations is controlled demolition.
Content from external source:
Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing most of the contents into dust and ash - twice? Why would WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified - and necessary - for all three collapses.
Content from external source:
Being a civil engineer and understanding the laws of physics, I know that a building cannot fall a free fall speed without the floors already falling also giving no resistance.
Content from external source:
It seems to me that the version given does not correspond to what we saw on TV. Buildings fall like that when imploded.
Content from external source:
From my engineering intuition, the way the Towers collapsed due to fire is impossible. Many people have shown by using simple physics calculation that the upper floors cannot cause complete failure. I would really like to know the real cause of the collapse.
Content from external source:
My concerns with the Twin Towers lie in the inconsistency with the method of collapse, i.e. a symmetric free fall collapse, when damage incurred was asymmetrical - one would anticipate a toppling of the upper tower.
Tower 7's collapse is not at all consistent with the collateral damage it received - it's collapse was as well completely symmetrical and within its footprint that is difficult to rationalize from asymmetrical damage and fire.
You get the sense that most of these people have not read the NIST report.

lee, excellent analysis. . . We have a need to believe the authorities, to think they are looking out for our welfare, our best interests and would not mislead, with-hold or falsify information. To accept that the opposite may be true is devastating and would require a complete change of thought to consider the consequences. . . To doubt everything, to question even the most respected sources of information . . . the very foundation of our realities would be shattered. . . I believe now I have been there for several years. . . .LoL!!!!!

BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Broome County Legislature has two weeks before the 2013 budget must be voted on. As that day quickly approaches, lawmakers are putting the final touches on the spending plan for next year.
The county's finance committee met with department heads from public works, aviation, and transportation to go over their respective budgets line by line to make sure all the numbers add up.
While some changes have been made to the original proposal, the zero percent tax increase County Executive Debbie Preston announced in September is still in place. Some items have also been restored, such as cuts to the BC Transit service, meaning legislators had to find other places to trim in order to make up for savings lost.
"Any of the changes that increase the budget in transit will probably be worked around, maybe in transit's budget, by reducing some other expenses, or it could be in other areas that they'll do the reduction," said Wayne Howard, chairman of the finance committee.
Increases to fares will help level some of the lost savings. The finance committee is expected to deliver a report to the full legislature next week before the budget is voted on.

Practice Being Creative
/I took some time out the other night to just play around with materials. I've collected some really fun things - rope, sequins, beads, thread, chains, ribbons, and lace - but I never really do anything with it.
When I was creating jewellery to sell, I was always making things with the intention of selling them. And gradually, it became more about the selling and less about just creating something really unique.
Not surprisingly, I grew bored of making things that way. I could never find the inspiration, and I didn't want to do it anymore. I'd put so much pressure on myself to create sellable products, that I lost the joy I'd initially found in creating.
So I put a hold on creating. I took a break and turned my attention elsewhere. It was a break I needed - a chance to recharge.
Lately, the urge to create has come creeping back. It's a feeling I've missed, and I'm looking forward to nurturing it.
I carved a few hours out the other night and sat down with my materials. I play around and tried out a few DIY tutorials. Some things I made were really random and I'll probably dismantle them later to reuse the materials. But there was one piece in particular I really liked - a green braided rope necklace.
I've worn that necklace quite a bit since I've made it, and I've come to realise that if I enjoy making something then I'm probably going to enjoy using it!
On Pinterest I've got an entire board dedicated to things I want to make and I'm going to start attempting some of those tutorials. Some pieces might turn out great and others might be a disaster (I'll share all of them!) but I'm looking forward to just creating for the fun of it.
We'll see where this leads :)
Have you got any DIY ideas that you've done before, or you'd like to try? What sort of things do you like to make?

Interactive: Tidier Cables
THE FRONT SEATS of an automobile make for a cramped mobile office. But for most drivers, that's what the space has become. The car's cigarette-lighter receptacle may have humble origins, yet these days it powers just about every gadget that gets taken on the open road—smartphones and tablets, radar detectors and GPS units alike.
So it should come as no surprise when those few inches of space between each bucket seat turn into a jumbled mess of wires. Every device requires its own power cable, which somehow has a way of tangling and knotting itself when you aren't looking.
For many juice-strapped motorists, the TYLT Band Car Charger is the answer to their prayers. Its flat, semirigid cord resists kinking (why aren't all cables made this way?) and terminates in one of three connectors to accommodate most devices: a 30-pin model for older iPhones and iPads; micro-USB for just about all smartphones and dumbphones; and, next month, a Lightning version, for Apple's latest generation of mobile gear.
The Band also has an open USB port for plugging in a second cord—even one that's proprietary—to charge an additional device. The durable silicone unibody construction comes in four Technicolor shades and houses a 2.1 amp circuit, which is powerful enough to charge two smartphones or a voracious tablet. And when not in use, the Band is easy to curl up into a tidy coil. $40, tylt.com

A leading Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon based in South West London, dealing primarily with lower limb conditions with a special interest in knee surgery.
Mr Adhikari is a high volume knee surgeon and is in the top decile nationally in terms of the number of patients treated. In a typical year, he carries out 200 knee replacement operations, 60 cruciate ligament surgeries and 200 knee arthroscopy operations. He has pioneered the use of computers and robotics in orthopaedic surgery in the UK and is actively involved in the culture of cartilage cells and transplant for cartilage injuries.
Mr Adhikari completed his MBBS training at Delhi University in 1984, obtaining a gold medal in the final examination. He then undertook postgraduate training in orthopaedics at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. He obtained his masters degree in Orthopaedic Surgery in 1990 through thesis and examination. In the UK he trained in the North East Thames Registrar Rotation in Orthopaedic Surgery from 1991. He completed a knee fellowship with Mr Jamie Flanagan at the Orthopaedic Centre, Black Notley Hospital. He obtained the masters degree in Orthopaedics through dissertation and examination from the University of Liverpool in 1996 and then passed the FRCS (Orth) examination in 1999. Since then he has trained in various aspects of orthopaedic surgery in Austria, Switzerland, the USA and Germany. Mr Adhikari currently works as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with the Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust. He is one of the founding surgeons at the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre, which is the largest joint replacement centre in the UK. Prior to that he worked in the same capacity for four years at King's College Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham in London.
He runs a fellowship and mentoring programme which trains orthopaedic surgeons from as far away as Australia. He is actively involved in the software and hardware development of computer navigated systems used for orthopaedic surgery
Mr Adhikari treats all lower limb problems involving the hip, knee, ankle and foot, and performs more than 600 operations a year. In the last few years his referrals have increasingly been patients with knee problems as more and more general practitioners and patients have become aware of his special interest in the field. He provides both operative and non-operative treatment of lower limb conditions. He also provides second opinions for difficult knee problems.
Knee surgery: Over the last three years Mr Adhikari has performed on average, both in the NHS and private sectors, 200 knee replacements, 60 cruciate ligament surgeries and 200 arthroscopy operations per year.
Sports injuries: He also has a special interest in sports injuries to the lower limb. He provides orthopaedic services to Crystal Palace and other smaller football teams in South London. He also has an interest in skiing, rugby, athletics and other contact sports injuries.
Computer and robotic orthopaedic surgery
Mr Adhikari carried out the first computer and robotic assisted joint replacement in the UK in October 2002, as reported by the BBC. He continues to present his research papers all around the world including the United States, Europe and the Far East.
Cartilage transplant
He has been involved in the transplant of cartilage cells into the knee since 2000. He is currently one of the investigators in a pan European trial (Summit trial): 'A comparison between the performance of chondrocytes versus microfracture technique on knee symptoms'.
Sports injuries
He is currently setting up a multicentre study to look at return to sports after ACL reconstruction.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck you get good classes with the same amount of education as you would at a four-year school, but for so much cheaper.
Food and Dining the food is usually pretty good, but it can be expensive and the cafes only accept cash; no credit or debit cards.
Tips for prospective students don't procrastinate! deadlines for assignments will just sneak up on you if you're not careful. and not doing them can really make you grade and gpa suffer!
In three sentences lewis and clark is small and focused on helping you to succeed. the small class sizes allow more personal contact with the teachers and they actually know your name. the campus has a very laid-back feel to it, while still giving you plenty of challenges.

Bang for the buck Cheapest school around, and most classes transfer!
What to do for fun There are many clubs and activities on campus, as well as friendly people!
Food and Dining They have really good food! The only downfall is they do not have meal programs to make food cheaper.
Dorm Life There are no dorms here!
Tips for prospective students My plan was to go away to a university after high school. As much as I wanted to have that college experience I am so thankful for choosing Lewis and Clark! I've found the teachers want a relationship with you, and the cost is affordable. I love knowing that I am going to be a junior next year and have no debt!!
In three sentences They have a beautiful campus and all the buildings are close together. Does not take a long time to get from class to class. Is an easy commute for anyone in the Godfrey area, and is affordable!

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are quite a few security officers on duty and the campus has always felt safe to me. It is a very clean and well taken care of campus that allows students to remain relaxed and lets them focus on what they are there for.
Great for these types of students Anyone who is currently in the workforce and couldn't afford going to college full time or completely dropping out of the workforce to move away from home, then L&C is for you. It works with you in order to make sure that you can afford the academic plan they have set for you.
Bang for the buck I'm personally very please with the education that I'm receiving for the amount of money that I am paying.
What to do for fun Many days there will be live entertainment and activities held in the commons for students to attend that gives everyone something to do no matter what there interests are.
Food and Dining There are a couple dining facilities on campus as well multiple food establishments in the area.
Dorm Life No Dorms Available.
Academic Rigor I would say that 90% of the teachers that I have had so far are genuinly concerned on if you learn what you should be. Many teachers have been in their fields for many years and can relay on some helpful advice that you might not ordinarily be able to receive elsewhere.
Tips for prospective students Make sure that if you already have a plan when you start out your schooling at Lewis and Clark that you are advised by one of their Guidance Councilors, you should also get a second opinion from the Department head adviser that way you can make the most of your time at L&C.
In three sentences A lot of money can be saved with attending Lewis and Clark Community College. Not only are classes affordable but you can still remain close to home. The campus is well taken care of and the friendly staff is always looking to help the students in anyway that they can.

When the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued its so-called "MOPR" decision in April 2011, approving a minimum offer price rule (or bid floor) for PJM RPM capacity market — and then on the very next day did much the same for New England's FCM capacity market — FERC did more than just prop up prices. Instead, it created a nightmare scenario for utilities that still own their own generation. These utilities, who choose to "self-supply" with their own plants, rather than buy capacity from either the RPM or FCM, adequacy rules, could now be forced to pay twice for capacity — if their own plants are deemed inefficient or uneconomic.

A Prophet (Un prophète) [Blu-Ray]
Director : Jacques Audiard
Screenplay : Thomas Bidegain and Jacques Audiard (based on an original by Abdel Raouf Dafri and Nicolas Peufaillit)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2009
Stars : Tahar Rahim (Malik El Djebena), Niels Arestrup (César Luciani), Adel Bencherif (Ryad), Hichem Yacoubi (Reyeb), Reda Kateb (Jordi), Jean-Philippe Ricci (Vettori), Gilles Cohen (Prof), Antoine Basler (Pilicci), Leïla Bekhti (Djamila), Pierre Leccia (Sampierro), Foued Nassah (Antaro), Jean-Emmanuel Pagni (Santi), Frédéric Graziani (Chef de detention), Slimane Dazi (Lattrache), Rabah Loucif (L'avocat de Malik), Serge Boutleroff (Le juge d'application des peines), Hervé Temime (Le procureur), Taha Lemaizi (Hassan)
In his quietly stunning performance as a French teenager of Arab descent spending six years in prison, Tahar Rahim looks not unlike a thinner, more intense Danny McBride, and his nervous, awkward mannerisms reminded me of McBride's small, but crucial role in David Gordon Green's lyrical All the Real Girls (2003), in which he played a soft-spoken, not particularly bright young man on the margins of society. And, for a significant portion of the 155 minutes of Jacques Audiard's powerful saga A Prophet (Un prophète), it would seem than Rahim's Malik El Djebena is a similar character, which is precisely why the film is so disarming and absorbing.
A quiet, illiterate teen with no family or friends when he is first incarcerated in a maximum-security prison, Malik would seem to be a born victim (socially, economically, legally, interpersonally, etc.), and he spends his first year in the tank being victimized, specifically by César Luciani (Niels Arestrup), the hardened leader of a Corsican gang who rules the prison with violence and intimidation (it also helps that he has many of the prison's guards in his pocket). César recruits Malik to kill another Arab prisoner named Reyeb (Hichem Yacoubi)--well, recruit isn't the right word since it is a Godfather-ish "offer he couldn't refuse": kill or be killed. The scene in which Malik does the deed is testament to Audiard's seriousness in undercutting cinema's typical romanticization of criminals. Pulling a razor from inside his mouth (a move we have watched him practice over and over again with squirm-inducing, painful results), Malik clumsily attacks Reyeb and, after much awkward struggle, slices his jugular; there is no grace to the action itself, and Audiard films it with handheld jitteriness that suggests a complete absence of control. The aftermath, with Reyeb bleeding out on the prison floor and Malik quivering on the bed haunts us for the rest of the film, and it haunts Malik, as well, as Reyeb becomes a ghostly presence he can never shake. It is a baptism in blood.
Audiard's sustained use of gritty naturalism feels entirely appropriate here and elsewhere, although he doesn't rely on it like a one-trick pony, and instead incorporates a number of aesthetic flourishes such as slow motion, a subjective soundtrack, and even the old silent film trope of irising in on a particular detail to enhance the storytelling. The thrust of the narrative, written by Audiard and Thomas Bidegain from on an original screenplay by Abdel Raouf Dafri and Nicolas Peufaillit, follows Malik's "education" during his six years in prison. He takes part in the social-liberal prison education agenda, learning to read and write and ostensibly earning a degree so that he will be a better person on the way out, prepared to contribute to the society that needed to lock him away (we never know exactly what crime he committed to earn his sentence, but it isn't hard to imagine that it wasn't much and he was punished for being young, illiterate, and brown). Yet, his real education comes from César and his gang, who use him as a servant and errand boy (but never as one of them, as he is still a "dirty Arab"), which allows him to observe their operations and learn their ways. Malik is a quick study, and that is his greatest asset; he is not strong or tall or imposing in any way physically, and he doesn't come across as particularly bright or clever. Yet, at every moment he is quietly, silently learning, and he puts that to use in his own operations, specifically working with two other men, one serving time with him and one who was recently released for health reasons, to smuggle hash into the prison. The story's fundamental tragedy is that, whatever kind of criminal he was coming in, he will be a much better, more sophisticated one going out because otherwise he never would have survived.
A Prophet, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes and was France's official entry for the Oscars, works largely because Audiard doesn't hit us over the head the film's lessons. He assumes that we, like Malik, can glean the essence of what's important by watching and studying, and he keeps the film's thematic material deeply interwoven into the narrative, which means he avoids speeches and declarations and obvious signs pointing to "what it all means." If different viewers come away from the film with different interpretations--some see it as a broad metaphor for the nature of power, others see it as a political commentary on the relationship between France and its North African immigrants, while still others see it as a social critique of the failures of the justice and penal systems--the film is all the stronger for it. It is all of those things and more.
Yet, for all its thematic weight, A Prophet is ultimately a character study, and a brilliant one at that. Malik is a fascinating central figure precisely because he doesn't immediately grab your attention. César is by far a more grizzled-glamorous, movie-made character, with his sleek patriarchal stature and volcanic temper making his every second on film nerve-wracking and attention-demanding, but Audiard recognizes that Malik is the more crucial figure because he is the canvas on which the story is painted. He goes through a significant transformation from the first frame to the last, and in between we watch his true potential unfurl in the heated furnace of survival. What emerges at the end is something of an enigma: We're not sure what to make of him and the choices he has made. Thus, A Prophet is the rarest of crime films: One that turns us inside out with concern not only for Malik's physical safety, but for the safety of his soul.

A Prophet's presentation in 1080p high-definition is excellent, with a sharp, well-detailed image that maintains a generally pleasing level of film grain and avoids any overt digitizing or artifacts. The film's overall palette is relatively subdued, consisting primarily of the industrial grays, browns, and sickly greens of prison life, although when they are moments of strong color (such as when Malik sees the ocean on one of his days off), the hues are strong and pop off the screen with appropriate intensity. The lossless 5.1-channel DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack also does not disappoint, with excellent clarity, directionality, and separation, as well as a strong low end that is particularly crucial in a gunfight near the end when Malik loses much of his hearing and we are put into his distorted aural experience. | |
Director Jacques Audiard, actor Tahar Rahim and co-writer Thomas Bidegain recorded a relaxed, informative screen-specific audio commentary together in which they bounce memories and ideas off each other, resulting in a rich, engaging experience that significantly enhances one's appreciation of the film (I was surprised, for example, to learn that the entire prison is a set, rather than the real thing). Also included on the disc are four deleted scenes, which run about 10 minutes total, five screen tests for Tahar Rahim, rehearsal footage of four different scenes, and the U.S. theatrical trailer. |
