DETROIT (AP) -- A judge has challenged Detroit's emergency manager over his public remarks in June when he said city pensions can't be touched under Michigan law.The exchange Monday between Judge Steven Rhodes and Kevyn Orr was unexpected. It came near the end of Orr's testimony in a trial that will determine whether Detroit will be allowed to stay in bankruptcy court and restructure $18 billion in debt.Before the summer bankruptcy filing, Orr told a public audience that pensions were "sacrosanct" under the Michigan Constitution. The judge suddenly interrupted friendly questioning by a city lawyer and asked Orr, "What would you say to that retiree now?"Orr gave a legal answer, saying pension rights could be trumped by federal law.

Our Science – Van Dyke Website
Terry A. Van Dyke, Ph.D.
In 1998, Dr. Van Dyke became the Facility Director of the UNC Animal Models Core Facility and in 1999, she established the Carolina Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC), one of four in the country.
On the national level, Dr. Van Dyke has been a leader in the utilization of mouse models to advance our understanding of cancer. In 1997, she served as co-chair of an NCI director's advisory committee tasked with making recommendations on the use of mouse models to advance cancer research. Several NCI initiatives were launched as a result, including establishment of the Mouse Models Human Cancer Consortium (MMHCC) for which she served as co-chair for two years.
Terry Van Dyke arrived at the NCI in September 2007 in a visiting capacity as chief of the Mouse Cancer Genetics Program (MCGP) under an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) agreement. The IPA mechanism allowed for a rapid transition into the MCGP leadership while finalizing obligations at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) School of Medicine. In January of 2011, Dr. Van Dyke resigned her position at the UNC-CH and became an NCI employee. Previous appointments were at the UNC-CH (professor 1997-2010; associate professor 1993-1997) and the University of Pittsburgh (associate professor 1992-1993; assistant professor 1986-1992). Her laboratory has utilized genetically modified mice as the major approach to studying cancer mechanisms since its establishment. The work has been continuously funded by grants from the NCI, with additional support over the years from the DOD, March of Dimes, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Prostate Cancer Foundation, Goldhirsh Foundation, Brain Tumor Society, Samuel Waxman Foundation, and Mary Kay Ash Foundation. In addition to research, notable accomplishments at University of Pittsburgh included the establishment and directorship of two transgenic core facilities, reorganization and directorship of graduate studies in Biological Sciences, development and teaching of several undergraduate and graduate courses, and acquisition of an NIH Career Development Award. At that time she was also a Sarah Graham Kenan Distinguished Professor of Genetics with a joint appointment in Biochemistry and Biophysics at the UNC-CH.
The Van Dyke laboratory (Cancer Pathways and Mechanisms Section) studies the mechanisms of cancer etiology at many levels (genetic, molecular, cell, organ, organism). Genetically engineered mice (GEM) are used to examine cause/effect relationships in initiation and progression of disease within the natural microenvironment. In vivo studies of de novo tumorigenesis are coupled with cell culture and transplantation studies, and modern technologies are applied to the problem (e.g., genetic and cellular mouse manipulation, global molecular assessment and live animal imaging). With an interest in the cell specificity, we have examined tumorigenesis in multiple tissue and cell types including mammary, prostate, ovarian, and choroid plexus epithelia and astrocytes. Roles of tumor suppressors, pRb, p53 and Pten, have been identified genetically, with additional mechanistic understanding in several cases. We have also contributed to the study of mitotic regulation with the aim to determine role(s) in cancer. Currently the lab focuses on basic mechanistic studies of high grade astrocytoma and prostate cancer. The cross comparison of disease initiation and progression in these models, often driven by similar pathways/networks, relative to our understanding of the cognate human cancer, is used to develop and query hypotheses of etiology. Deep analyses of specific biological problems in cancer focus on etiology mechanisms invasion, metastasis (prostate cancer) and target cell type(s). Finally, these studies have produced highly penetrant preclinical cancer models useful for translation to human studies, including biomarker and therapeutic discovery and small animal imaging.

In The News
Oct 20, 2009
MILITARY – Last month former soldier Steven Green was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences for the rape and murder of an Iraqi teenager, and the murder of three of her relatives, the Washington Post reports. Green and three other soldiers entered Abeer Qassim al-Janabi's home, and killed her mother, father and sister. They then raped her and shot her in the face. Al-Janabi's body was then set on fire. Four other soldiers (the three that entered the home and one who played a lesser role) were tried in a military court. Green was prosecuted as a civilian because by the time the Army pressed charges, he had been honorably discharged with a personality disorder.
CA – Award-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski was arrested in Zurich last month and is awaiting extradition to the United States on 30 year-old charges of statutory rape. Polanski fled the United States in 1978 after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with a minor. Polanski's arrest has sparked worldwide controversy, with some in the entertainment industry and in Europe, where Polanski lives, speaking out on his behalf – but many violence prevention experts have challenged them. The New York Times editorialized, "We were glad to see other prominent Europeans beginning to point out that this case has nothing to do with Mr. Polanski's work or his age. It is about an adult preying on a child. Mr. Polanski pleaded guilty to that crime and must account for it."
CA – After being held captive, repeatedly raped, and living in backyard shacks for nearly 20 years, Jaycee Dugard and the two-children fathered by her captor are safe and living with Dugard's mother. Then just 11, Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 by Phillip Garrido, a convicted sex offender. California parole officers who checked on Garrido never discovered Dugard or her children, the Contra Costa Times reports. Vice Chairman of the U.S. Parole Commission Cranston Mitchell and Deputy Attorney General Janet Neeley who oversee California's sex offender registry suggested that Garrido "could have easily slipped through the sex registry cracks." Garrido and his wife are awaiting trail in El Dorado County Jail on charges of rape, kidnapping and false imprisonment.
CT – In response to widespread anger, a Marriott Hotel has abandoned its claim that a woman raped at gunpoint in the Stamford Marriott parking garage – in front of her young children – had been careless and was partly at fault, the Associated Press reports. The hotel originally filed papers charging that the victim "failed to exercise due care for her own safety and the safety of her children and proper use of her senses and facilities." Her attacker, Gary Fricker, is serving 20 years in prison for the crime.
CT – Gail Burns-Smith, lifelong advocate and co-founder of the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, and Executive Director of the Connecticut Sexual Assault Center of Crisis Services, passed away on September 5. In the Congressional record, Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) called Burns, "a tireless advocate for victims of sexual assault and abuse" and an "unspoken hero." Memorial contributions may be made to the Gail Burns-Smith "Dare to Dream" Scholarship Fund, CONNSACS, 96 Pitkin Street, East Hartford, CT 06108.
TX – The Houston school district has banned sexting – sending nude or semi-nude photographs or videos via cell-phone or email. The Houston Independent School District (HISD) revised its student code of conduct in response to concerns expressed by principals. HISD's Assistant General Council Hans Graff told the Houston Chronicle, "To the extent it's an issue…we want to put kids on notice we're not going to tolerate it." HISD serves more than 200,000 students.
WI – Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was badly beaten in August when he tried to diffuse an incident of domestic violence. Barrett overheard a man yelling at a woman and her young grandchild, and when he tried to intervene, the suspect hit him in the head and torso with a metal pipe. Police said the suspect was intoxicated and threatening to shoot himself and others, the Associated Press reports. Co-Executive Director of Sojourner Peace Center, a Milwaukee domestic violence shelter and advocacy group, told WUWM that though she applauds the mayor's actions, people have to be careful and asses if a situation is safe before getting involved.
SUDAN – Lubna Hussein, the female journalist facing 40 lashes for wearing trousers in public, has instead received a $200 fine, the Associated Press reports. Hundreds of protesters swarmed the courthouse for Hussein's initial court date in July. Hussein said that she will serve one month in prison instead to protest the Sudan's so-called morality laws. "The flogging, yes, it causes pain," Hussein told the New York Times. "But more important, it is an insult. That is why I want to change the law."

A nationwide Amber Alert has been issued for a couple who kidnapped their two sons from their home in Florida, following a Louisiana court's decision to award custody of the boys to their maternal grandmother.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa names Joshua Hakken and his wife Sharyn as suspects in the kidnapping. The S.O. released this statement to news media Wednesday night:
Today at 6:40 am [EDT], the abducted children's maternal grandmother dialed 911 from inside 14xxx Shady Oaks Drive in Tampa. Her husband, the children's grandfather had already left for work and was not at home.
Apparently just after 6 am, Joshua Hakken broke into the home and tied up his mother-n-law. He then woke his two children and removed them from the home while still in their pajamas. Hakken then stole his mother-n-law's car and fled the residence. The victim then managed to free herself and call 911.
During the investigation, detectives have since located the victim's stolen vehicle abandoned several block from the crime scene. Detectives believe Joshua and the kids entered a second vehicle once abandoning his mother-n-law's vehicle and fled the area to an unknown destination.
A Florida state wide Amber alert has been issued for the 2006 GMC pick-up Sierra, black in color, bearing Florida tag U95-KT....
We still have un-answered questions from the events in Louisiana prior to today's events here in Hillsborough County. We are working closely with the FBI and government officials in the State of Louisiana to attempt to obtain a better picture of the history of this family and the circumstances which lead to the removal of the children from their parent custody and ultimately the terminations of all parental rights.
What we have learned so far -- and keep in mind this [is] still preliminary -- that on June 17th 2012, the father Joshua Hakken was arrested in a hotel on multiple drug charges in St Tammany Parish, Louisiana after attending some type of anti-government rally.
Some point after that arrest, the State of Louisiana took custody of both children and placed them temporarily in foster care. While in foster care, Joshua Hakken allegedly showed up at the foster care facility waving a gun and began beating on the front door. He fled the scene without his children after he was unable to enter the secured facility. I do not have any information on a case status of that event.
Yesterday, the Hakken's were notified that the State of Louisiana terminated all parental rights and turned over those rights to the grandparents.
We are withholding the name of the grandmother at this time; also she has indicated she does not want to conduct any media interviews at this time.
A statement Wednesday evening from Louisiana State Police confirmed they have issued their own Level II - Endangered/Missing Advisory, "as the biological parents and children may be traveling to or through Louisiana... Their parental rights were recently terminated and they have ties in the Slidell, LA area. "
Joshua Hakken now faces a variety of criminal charges: two counts of kidnapping, two counts of interference in child custody, two counts of child neglect, and one count each of false imprisonment, burglary with a battery and grand theft auto.
State Police say Joshua Hakken is a 35-year-old white male, believed to be 5-feet-11 in height and weighing about 180 pounds.
Sharyn Hakken is a 34-year-old white female, standing 5-feet-4 and weighing about 150 pounds.
The boys are 2-year-old Chase Hakken (3-feet-0, 33 pounds) and 4-year-old Cole Hakken (3-feet-9, 44 pounds). Both children have brown hair.
La. State Police say the black 2006 GMC pickup mentioned as the Hakkens' possible vehicle has a University of South Florida tag, number U95KT.
Again, if you have any information on the whereabouts of the Hakkens, please dial your local authorities at 911 or the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.

Crews are currently working to determine the cause of a fire that broke out in a condo at the Sportsman's Cove Yacht and Racquet Club near the Fort Myers Beach bridge on Monday morning.
According to Captain Ron Martin, fire marshal for the Fort Myers Beach Fire Department, the fire was called in around 7:30 a.m.
When firefighters arrived, they found flames shooting from the roof of a second-story condo unit.
One building has been evacuated. At least five units inside the building have been damaged. Four of those have been determined unsafe.
Arlene Tucker, a resident in the building, says she didn't smell the smoke but she heard a pounding on her window.
"The fire department was out there. She said get out and get out now," Tucker says.
Crews had the fire under control in about 25 minutes. A hose stretched over San Carlos Boulevard causing traffic to be rerouted for several hours.
No one was injured, but at least three residents in the building will not be able to return to their homes due to heavy smoke damage. The Red Cross arrived to assist residents around 11:30 a.m. but it is still unknown how many residents will need assistance.
Firefighters are escorting residents into their homes to retrieve some of their belongings.
"I'm hoping I can get in the unit and take some things out with me and I will be spending Christmas with my daughter," Tucker says.
Investigators remain on the scene and are working to determine the cause of the fire. Members of the Lee County Arson Task Force are helping with the investigation. The state Fire Marshal's office will also send a representative to investigate.
Capt. Martin says there's no indication at this point that the fire is suspicious. However, he expects it to take several more hours before the cause of the fire is determined.

Pros: 3" Display, 8fps, 18mp, New Focus System, Excellent Menu, Solid Build, 1080P Video, Excellent feature set.
Cons: Display can be deceiving for final image output. Setting the screens brightness is the key. ISO is not as good as my old 4 year old 5D.

Summary: This new focusing system is totally new for canon and it is awesome. Lot of tweaking to make your images stay in focus for sports with that great 8fps. There is a learning curve you may have to go through as I did but this camera is a gem.
I'm a night Club Photographer so I took this camera to the DNA Lounge in SF. I was pushing the camera to it's limit and found the high ISO is not as good at the old 5D, but man on man this camera is FAST. Response time is incredible for low light shooting. The Original 5D in my opinion is still the winner for low light and daylight shooting (have not tried the 5D MII). It's not as fast but the image quality is better. With the 5D correcting color balance & underexposed images is a lot easier due to the quality of the image it puts out (at 12mp). I'm not returning the 7D because I thinks it's a Kick Ass camera. I've owned the Canon Digital Rebel 300D, XT, XTi, 30D & 40D. The 7D blows them away. But as for the 5D...The 5D is in a different class with its full frame sensor.

Canon 7d + 100-400mm IS Zoom Poor for Bird Photography

Summary: In my opinion, and significant experience ( several months and several thousands of photos with the 7d and the 100-400mm lens ) Canon really dropped the ball with this cameras poor single point, ai servo ( i.e., the best the camera can do ) autofocus capability!
With it's speed ( 8 frame/sec ), crop factor ( 1.6 x ) and a 400 mm zoom ( 640 mm effective ) this pair should be a dream come true for bird photographers. In fact it's abysmal low contrast focus capability and generally flat, muddy images leave me very, very disappointed.

Pros: Build quality. Image quality. Auto focus. Continuous shooting speed (so fast!). HD video. Great fully-automatic settings for when you give your camera to someone to take a picture of you. Custom settings. Light sensitivity.
Cons: Price and features - really makes the debate between going up to a 5d or down to a 50d or T2i tough. Other than that... none.

Summary: I made the painful decision to upgrade from a Pentax K10D, of which I owned a couple great lenses and equipment for, and switch to Canon. Not that I was caught up in the hype, I just didn't want to invest anymore money in the wrong direction. Canon has great optics and is trusted by pros around the world, why go against the grain? After debating between the 7d and 5d mII, I decided it was a better idea to spend less on my first Canon body and start collecting my L lenses. The 7d will make an excellent 2nd camera one day. Meanwhile, the upgrade was much more substantial than I anticipated... the quality, light sensitivity, auto-focus, display, everything about it, BLOWS my K10D away. No comparison. I just wish I had started with Canon, maybe a Rebel, and started buying lenses a few years ago when I went with Pentax. I don't recommend making a purchase decision derived from comparing apples to oranges. Recognize your budget, and buy a camera that leaves you with enough extra cash to get a great lens for your particular preferences - portrait, sports, landscape, macro, etc., and the additional gear you need - too much to list. You can keep upgrading your camera body until you're completely happy, meanwhile, hopefully by then you've accrued a few great EF lenses.

Summary: This is a fantastic camera for the advanced photographer. The live view is great. The auto focus is fast and flexible using the 19 cross points. The 8fps is un-touchable! I recently shot around Las Vegas and the colors were sharp and brilliant. The only con is that with my 24-70 f2.8L lens, it can be a bit on the heavy side.
I upgraded from the 40D and don't regret it one bit!

Summary: Being a beginner/amateur photographer (hobby), I really like this camera for it's image quality and durability. While the settings may seem confusing at first (to the novice user like myself) it gets easier and easier for me to make adjustments every time I power on the camera.

Summary: This is a great camera to get you into the HDSLR field, but look for another camera body if you are into concert/low light photography as I am. It still works decent, but the noise and color blow-out requires far too much post production for stills. Save your money and get a 5D Mark II.
A powerhouse for high-res photography and HD video.
by ambigous on December 22, 2010
Pros: Large, clear viewfinder and screen. Great auto focusing. Full 1080p 30 fps video! Built-in wireless flash sync. A myriad of control customization possibilities. And... FAST!!!
Cons: The viewfinder diopter adjustment wheel is too small and rigid to easily calibrate while looking through the VF. Steep learning curve for some functions, but with this class of instrument, that's to be expected.
Summary: Excellent value for what you pay. If you're after a great entry-level pro camera, it's hard to go wrong choosing the EOS 7D.

Canon 7D-Top Gun
by digler1 on October 31, 2010
Pros: Top of the line features if you're willing to learn. Most complain because they simply won't except their own limits and learn to tweak or modify each ohoto they take. That in my opinion is what photographers do.
Cons: Since my purchase is relatively new I haven't found any issues with this top of the line Canon. Most Canon pro's probably consider this 7D an excellent tool for a wide-array of photo shoots.
Summary: If you're a beginner, and as I said earlier, there is a huge learning curve in this model, don't lose your enthusiasm if your new and decide to ...
Summary: If you're a beginner, and as I said earlier, there is a huge learning curve in this model, don't lose your enthusiasm if your new and decide to make the leap to this top contender. Pro's look at this Canon as a viable tool for most work. Consider this, most pros make even bigger leaps (Canon Mark series) because they have big dollars to spend. You'll get excellent performance and reliable photos if your a serious photographer and want a top choice portfolio to show off to friends or buyers. Go ahead, look around at other cameras, but I'm fairly confident with every review out there you'll keep coming back to the Canon 7D.

4.49/5 rDev +4.4%
On Tap at Capones bar and grill in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They only pour 12/16oz due to the higher abv. I had a 12oz poured into a European style 12oz pint glass.
A: Dark, reddish tint, very clear though. Very lovely looking beer hence the name. Head dissapates quickly leaving spotty lacing on the glass, not much lacing at all though probably due to the high alcohol, leaves decent legging regardless.
S: HOPS, hops and more hops, sweet, fruity, you can faintly smell the alcohol, I get quite a bit of floral, the hops really overpower a lot of the smell on this but it is a fantastic smelling beer.
T: Bitter, and this is coming from a Stone drinker, this beer hits you, warming in the chest comes after about 1/4 of the beer gone, you can taste the alcohol but the bitterness and freshness of this beer is too good. The weird thing is this is a very drinkable beer being 10%. I'm drinking it with some sweet hot wings and so far it pairs pretty well, usually I would order something a lot lighter and this probably isn't the best with spicy food unless your in for the night. This beer creeps up and halfway through you start to feel a head buzz. Very delicious beer though.
M: Full bodied DIPA for sure, the hoppy bitterness bites your tongue on this one, it goes down very smooth and with the high alcohol it warms fast. Drink this fast if you prefer it cold, I'm on my last 4th of it and it's starting to warm and I'm getting a lot of alcohol burn and taste. This is a huge beer guys. I think the highest ipa I've ever had besides this was a stone one and it was 9.4 or their 17th anniversary which was 9 or so (haven't had ruinten yet).
O: The lovely reida is lovely. This is a very big, very hoppy double ipa, a 12oz pour has got me feeling tipsy and good, granted its also paired with my first meal of the day but this is a good beer. I could drink a bomber of this and be set for the night. This isn't really a sessionable beer I mean it could be cause it's drinkable but after a 6 pack of this your for sure to be probably blacked out. A great beer for hoppy ipa lovers. If you get the chance to try it do it you won't be disappointed.
I'm gonna give it a 9/10.

Scored a growler of this from the brewery itself! I missed out on the first batch they made earlier in Fall, but they ended up making some more, and I got a chance to try it this time.
A - Pours a somewhat transparent copper-orange hue, with a nice, two-finger tan-ish white head. Lacing is moderate/standard for the style.
S - Smell is of strong, bright floral hops, and plenty of orange peel, grapefruit, tangerine, and a candied/sugary malt profile, with hints of caramel. One of the more pleasing DIPA scents I've come across.
T - Taste is of an explosion of hoppy goodness. Lots of floral bitterness, that is surprisingly well balanced by a candy-like malt profile, with grapefruit and orange flavors, as well as hints of caramel and darker fruits. Finishes with a slight alcohol presence. The sweetness hides the 150 IBU rating this beer has, but is far from cloying.
M - Mouthfeel is actually one of this beer's highlights. It is insanely drinkable (dangerously so) for a 10% alcohol beer, ranking right up there w/some of the Belgian beers I've tried on the "too easy to drink" factor. Body tends to hover around the medium side of the scale, and the carbonation is just enough to keep this beer lively, but easy to drink at the same time.
O - Overall, this is a really nice DIPA, and given that there was enough demand for them to release another batch just before winter, I hope that it becomes a rotating offer available during more than just Fall-time. If you are familiar with this brewery's other beers, Lovely Reida is an entirely different tasting beer from Lucille, and does an excellent job of distinguishing itself as more than "just another IPA from the same brewery". Well done, Georgetown!

A: Pours a copperish orange color, no haze, leaving a nice pseudo fluffy white cap which hangs on a bit even after a few sips. A little bit of lacing is noticed i the first pour into my Reubens Brews tulip fades away
S: Big nose! Pungent citrus; grapefruit and orange peel are pretty doninant but the pine needles and backseat floral notes pop as well. I smell a little bit of sweet caramel on the nose too
T: Immediate in your face flavor and IBU's. A big zing of orange peel and grapefruit wallop the taste buds with a little bit booze and mildly assertive bitterness, A bit of pine resin is picked up with some fluctuating floral notes. All of this rides on a hearty caramel backbone which has some breadiness as well. The finish is luscious with more bitterness, sweetness and loads of flavor hops providing citrus and pine. Amazingly good.
M: As balanced as this beer can be. It is what an Imperial + or Triple IPA should be. Full bodied, robust, well carbonated for the style. Loads of flavor and easy to drink, is it ever! I crushed the growler. Booze well masked.
O: Damn near perfect. If the head retention and nose were a little better I would have given this a perfect score. It did come from a grlowler so....

Drawing from Thai history, cultural studies, Buddhist religion, and yogic practices, as well as a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology, this guidebook bridges the gap between theory and practice while presenting bodywork as it is understood in Thailand—as a therapeutic medical science. Presenting detailed analysis of each step in a Thai massage routine, the history, spiritual traditions, and ethical codes are offered in an engaging, informal style. Numerous photographs and diagrams illustrate the variety of techniques used, and examples of routines for treating specific disorders are discussed. Updated with new layout, photos, and expanded text, this exhaustive handbook is complete with a section on the main energy meridians and diagrams of acupressure points, making it the perfect tool to accompany anyone studying this popular healing modality.

This fascinating anthology presents a much wider scope than other books on Thai massage, and uncovers a wealth of previously unavailable information on the historical, spiritual, and cultural connections to this powerful healing art. Topics include ways to refine and maintain a healthy practice, breathwork and body mechanics, self-protection techniques, reading body language, acupressure concepts, and Thai herbal compress therapy. The spiritual and cultural section offers modern translations of ancient texts, Indian and Buddhist influences, magic amulets and sacred tattoos, and accessory modalities such as reusi dat ton (stretching) and tok sen (hammering therapy). Rounding out this thorough text, the final section features essays about actual practice with clients, written by therapists and teachers from around the world. The extensive experience and information provided in this reference book is invaluable to students or practitioners who wish to deepen their personal and professional understanding of traditional Thai healing arts.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Om Puri, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, and produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Juliet Blake, DreamWorks Studios, and Participant Media. The Hundred-foot Journey is the story of Hassan Haji, a boy from Mumbai who embarks, along with his boisterous family, on a picaresque journey first to London and then across Europe, before they ultimately open a restaurant opposite a famous chef, Madame Mallory, in the remote French village of Lumiere. A culinary war ensues, pitting Hassan's Mumbai-toughened father against the imperious Michelin-starred cordon bleu, until Madame Mallory realizes that Hassan is a cook with natural talents far superior to her own. Full of eccentric characters, hilarious cultural mishaps, vivid settings and delicious meals described in rich, sensuous detail, Hassan's charming account lays bare the inner workings of the elite world of French haute cuisine, and provides a life-affirming and poignant coming-of-age tale

Frankmusik Radio
Frankmusik is Vincent Frank, a vocalist, keyboardist, and producer from Croyden, England, whose compositions nod to the Crystal Castles' chiptune-fueled mania and Imogen Heap's intelligent, bittersweet electro-pop. His debut EP, Frankisum, was released on Apparent Records, a label he co-founded with David Norland, in the fall of 2007. He was signed to Universal/ Island soon after, boosted by the buzz generated by that disc. The full-length album Complete Me -- featuring the singles "In Step," "Confusion Girl," and "3 Little Words" -- appeared in 2009. Frankmusik returned in 2011 with his sophomore effort Do It in the AM. ~ Margaret RegesPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

What is it?
What is Balo's disease?
- Balo's disease is a rare demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) in which the myelin (the fatty substance covering nerve fibers) is damaged. Balo's disease shares features with other demyelinating diseases and while some consider it a distinct disorder, most MS specialists view it as a rare variant of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Balo's disease is also known as Balo's concentric sclerosis. The term comes from a pattern of concentric (circular) areas of damaged myelin alternating with areas of relatively undamaged myelin in various parts of the brain and spinal cord. This pattern can be seen on MRI.
- Attacks can proceed rapidly over weeks or months, usually without remission (a rapidly progressive course); a relapsing course (periods of symptoms followed by improvement or disappearance of symptoms) can also occur; or a person may experience a single attack (monophasic course) .
What are other terms used to refer to Balo's disease?
- Balo disease
- Balo's concentric sclerosis
- Encephalitis periaxialis concentrica
- Leukoencephalitis periaxialis concentrica
What causes Balo's disease?
- The cause of Balo's disease is not known, however, some studies indicate that autoimmune factors may play a role in its development. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body's natural defenses against "foreign" or invading organisms begin to attack healthy tissue for unknown reasons resulting in inflammation (swelling).
- The cause of the recovery seen in some patients that have or have not received treatment is also not known.
At what age does Balo's disease appear?
- Balo's disease usually appears in adulthood but childhood cases have been reported.
Who gets Balo's disease?
- Balo disease appears to be most common in Asians and in people from the Philippines.
- Balo's disease affects males and females with similar frequency.
How is Balo's disease similar to multiple sclerosis (MS)?
- Balo's disease is sometimes considered a variant of MS because so many of the symptoms are similar to those seen in MS.
How is Balo's disease different from multiple sclerosis (MS)?
- In Balo's disease, the unusual, concentric ring pattern seen on MRI images and in tissue specimens is not typically seen in MS.

De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig ("Kids These Days") is a hip-hop group formed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 2005. The group is a 4-piece made up of Vieze Fur a.k.a. Vieze Freddie (Freddie Tratlehner), P. Fabergé (Pepijn Lanen), Willie Wartaal a.k.a. WiWa (Ollicio Locadia) and 'de Neger des Heils' (Bas Bron). They are known most notably for their chart-topping single Watskeburt?!, which then became Dutch slang for "what's up?!". In 2005 they released their debut album named Parels voor de zwijnen (pearls before swine*), featuring raps containing rather esoteric lyrics full of (partially made up) street language. With comical lyrics and an attitude telling they do not take themselves too seriously, they gained a unique position in the Dutch rap scene. Their main themes are alcohol, sex and drugs.

Full disclosure before getting into some of these numbers: I'm not terribly pleased with the Edsall hire. Had the situation been different, and Edsall were brought in (instead of Franklin, perhaps) after Fridge retiring on his own terms in a few years, I would be perfectly pleased. I won't bore you (yet) with my reasons for disliking the hire, I just thought it was necessary so that I'm not pretending to be 100% objective.
I think Edsall should be respected for bringing UConn into Division 1A, and leading them to some pretty good years. But part of me wondered if he was beating anybody that was any good while he was doing it.
I looked at the years 2002 to 2010. I didn't consider Edsall's first 3 years with UConn in Div. 1A, as they were all pretty bad records which can be easily attributed, almost in full, to the transition to the big time. In 2002, Connecticut went 6-6, so I thought that was a fair year to start analyzing.
Over the 9 seasons from 2002 to 2010, Connecticut went 65-46. A pretty impressive record.
However, their strength of schedule in those 9 years, according to the Congrove Computer Rankings, came to an average of 71.22 in the country. For comparison's sake, Maryland's was 48.67. (Note, this is a ranking of all Div. 1A teams for those years, so the lower numbers are best, i.e., a team is awarded "1" if they have the hardest schedule in the country for that year).
This isn't damning in and of itself, but I looked a bit closer. I broke down Edsall's W/L record into two groups--games against BCS opponents, and games against non-BCS opponents.
Obviously there are terrible BCS teams (Duke for many years), and there are pretty good non-BCS teams (Boise St., TCU, etc)--but for those most part, the BCS/Non-BCS breakdown let's us see if UConn was beating decent programs, or padding the W/L record with cupcakes. Also for these purposes, I counted Notre Dame as a BCS team.
Record against BCS teams: 35-43
Record against non-BCS teams: 30-3
For comparison's sake: Friedgen was 46-45 against BCS teams, and 19-3 against Non-BCS teams from 2002 to 2010.
Interesting Stats:
#1: Almost half of Edsall's wins (46.15%) during the "good years" at UConn came against Non-BCS opponents. Meanwhile, Fridge, during the same timeframe, had more than twice as many wins against BCS opponents as non-BCS opponents. Only 29% of Fridge's wins from 2002-2010 were against non-BCS teams.
UConn played 11 more non-BCS teams than Maryland in those 9 years. That basically comes to 1 more "win" a year, gained simply from scheduling cupcakes.
#2: We know that UConn had a lower SoS than Maryland, which is backed up by the fact that they played a significant number of non-BCS opponents. But that wouldn't really matter if UConn was also consistently beating the "big boys." But Edsall went 35-43 against BCS opponents (.448 winning percentage), whereas Fridge had a winning record (.506 winning percentage).
Look, these numbers don't tell us anything we don't already know: Maryland is a better program than UConn.
Edsall's value is not in his win/loss record, but in the fact that he turned UConn from a Div-1AA program into a solid D-1A program in less than a decade.
BUT, didn't Fridge do a similarly Herculean task? He took Maryland from a nothing program, to a solid Div-1A program. He may have started out in a bit better position than Edsall, but he also performed better. I think they both did commendable jobs in building programs from basically nothing into above average programs.
I also understand that we didn't have the option of just maintaining the status quo. Read my posts from the past few weeks--I was 100% behind the decision to replace Fridge. But I really see this as a totally lateral hire--we replace a coach that made Maryland a solid program with a coach that made UConn a solid program. On-the-field, I wonder if we will actually see improvement.
And business/publicity-wise, I think this was a terrible move. Safe, sure. But anyone that has actually looked into the Leach "baggage" has come away with the feeling that many of the allegations were way overblown. I was considering making the 7-hour drive to see the Terps play Notre Dame next year--and I'll be honest, it is a bit less enticing with Edsall as coach.
So basically, we look to have made a lateral move on-the-field, and created no excitement around the program in making it. In fact, we probably took a PR hit, in that we made a pretty harsh decision to remove Fridge from the job, and we failed to justify that decision with a "splash."
We have a quickly-closing window, before Miami and FSU return to dominance, where we could establish ourselves as a top-25 program. I just don't see this move doing it in the short-term, which may be our only real chance. If the Florida teams get back on track, it could be awhile before we can unseat them and Virginia Tech.
I hope he succeeds, but from my view, we just made a "boring" hire of a guy that padded his W/L record with a bunch of cupcakes, and couldn't consistently beat BCS teams, even though the vast majority of his BCS opponents were from the "mighty" Big East. Disappointing.

Being skeptical, I thought all those armchair reviewers with high expectations has created enough hysteria to hurt sales resulting in great camera being sold at $300.
Upon using it for 15 minutes, here is my first impression:
Situations where this camera (+ 22 f/2) is awesome:
Combination of Small form + Low light + patience
For people buying it as a sole high quality camera:
Bound to be frustrated (esp. if shooting RAW) due to shot capture time and time between shots. iPhone 5 is way better in this regard than EOS M.
See, missed moment = no shot
so low quality iphone shot is better than no shot.
And you WILL miss shots with this.
For people buying as a backup:
Even if you got $300 deal, you will need to plunk couple 100's for accessories to be able to make it usable to the level that you have 1 shot every 3-5 seconds or more!!!!
Much better to buy a used 60D instead.
Now, I am not going to bother to spend any dime on accessories at all.
IMO, its oxymoron, as with anything except pancake M lenses, you loose for form factor. So what are you achieving by plunking $$$, a seriously crippled 70D alternative for same price and form?
Am I happy with my purchase:
Absolutely YES. It can create some great images for certain types of photography or if you have patience and time. While you will miss some images, its still better as
no camera = no images and this is definitely daily pocket/bag-able.
That said if I require speed I am likely to reach for iphone rather than risk with this.
I would be really furious if I had bought it at full price. So, its easy to understand why this thing did not sell.
IMO, Canon should fire the the person who approved the premature marketing of this product resulting in dent in brand image. Its not ready even now! EOS M II should have been a launch version!!!
I likely won't ever be reaching for my iPhone (5 as well) when this camera is with me. I get 6-7 frames in RAW @ 4fps in continuous mode before it slows down - that's not enough for a small camera like this? I've been frustrated with the AF/metering/etc significantly more with my iPhone than I will be with the M.
The only thing that has really frustrated me with this camera (post firmware update) is the slow frame rate in servo mode, but now I know to take one of the other cameras when I need to fire off several shots with AF in between. Otherwise, I couldn't be more happy with the purchase.

It is a movie about the lure and folly of greatness that comes as close as anything I've seen recently to being a great movie. There will be skeptics, but the cult is already forming. Count me in.
The Master is brilliantly, wholly itself for a little more than half of its 137 minutes. Then it chases its own tail a bit and settles for being merely a fascinating metaphoric father-son relationship reaching endgame. It may not all "work," but most of it's remarkable.
With potent performers and poetic visuals, Anderson has made the boldest American picture of the year. Its strangeness can be hard to process, but this is a shattering study of the impossibility of recovering the past.
On reflection, and despite these cavils, we should bow to The Master, because it gives us so much to revere, starting with the image that opens the film and recurs right up to the end-the turbid, blue-white wake of a ship. There goes the past, receding and not always redeemable, and here comes the future, waiting to churn us up.
Aug 17, 2012Even amongst its most wrenching scenes of unfettered anger and broken loyalty, a volatile sensuality nonetheless invades every frame of Paul Thomas Anderson's arresting The Master.
Yet, for all of The Master's laudable elements, it falls short of greatness for one simple reason: the storytelling is unspectacular.
Call The Master whatever you want, but lobotomized catatonia from what I call the New Hacks can never take the place of well-made narrative films about real people that tell profound stories for a broader and more sophisticated audience. Fads come and go, but as Walter Kerr used to say, "I'll yell tripe whenever tripe is served."

Sep 17, 2012Another amazing epic Paul Thomas Anderson film where every facet of the film is extremely dynamic. It is very dense and there's a lot to take in whether it be the tense, grinding score, the gorgeous shot choices (punctuated by vibrant color and detail in 70mm), or knock out performances from the lead males. The physical work that Joaquin does is outstanding, I have not seen an actor as fully committed and free in a long time, perhaps since Daniel Day in There Will Be Blood. Paul's most interesting film in terms of structure/ editing, jumping through time willy nilly, perhaps mirroring the teachings of Lancaster Dodd or perhaps entering the mind of Freddie continually going back to where he is stuck (the war/ lost loves). The relationship between Dodd and Quell is tense and at times adorable, they are so in love and desire so much to have what the other has: Lancaster wants to act on impulse and not be controlled by any "Master" and Freddie whats to break this insane cycle he seems to find himself trapped in. This film will absolutely take many more viewings and I believe it will continue to grow in my mind as PT's best film (potentially).… Expand
Mar 3, 2013This film plays more like a fevered dream than like realist history, so people expecting some sort of conventional narrative may quickly lose patience with this movie. They may also be missing something special. In addition to being glowing symbols more than they are conventional characters, neither Freddie Quell (Jochain Phoenix) or Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffmann) is especially likable. But the performances suggest emotional and historical truth in ways that are often moving, without pretension or sentimentality. Freddie Quell is a figure of the American male id, post World War II: violent, sensuous, insatiable. He's driven to drink drafts of American industry to quench his burning: the fuel of torpedoes, the fluids of photography, institutional cleaners, all mixed with the fruits of the earth. Dodd, "The Master," is a new-model super ego who might tame and direct Quell. Dodd is smug as a baronial magnate, as full of literary pretensions as Tom Sawyer; his resolve is borrowed from his steely wife (Amy Adams). Hoffman's Dodd, contrary to rumors about the film, is not a charismatic, psychological autocrat, but is wounded, defensive, and dreamy. He lives out a fantasy of priestly insight and command, but few people really believe him; he gets the benefit of many doubts. As Quell is drawn to Dodd's fantasies of mind over history, Dodd is drawn to Quell's energy and chemical inventiveness. Together they suggest different means of achieving atomic-age versions of the old American goal of obliterating the past and standing alone in a new present. They also suggest the polar tensions of raw animal desire and magisterial fantasies of triumph present in many American men. Quell's desire to consume, dominate and love the earth (Quell is obsessed with a woman sculpted in sand) meets a rhetoric of platonic self-mastery in Dodd. The preposterous incongruity of the men and their desires does not result in a drama of control and exploitation, which audiences may expect, but in inchoate attempts at mutual understanding in several scenes that are more humanly intimate and dramatically resonant than most sexual episodes in movies. The 70mm "real film" photography in this movie is amazing; many of the film's strongest moments, including those with people, are wordless. An irony of the film is that lush and magnificent nature (the Pacific ocean, the Arizona desert, the San Francisco Bay) is often overlooked by Quell and Dodd in their self involutions. Nature in American writing often becomes a symbol of self; it automatically is for these two. But nature may have the last word, in an ending that is unexpectedly funny and tender. I rate this as one of the best American movies.… Expand
Sep 21, 2012Whenever the critics rate a movie above 80 I start to get nervous. The closer to 100 the movie gets to 100 the chance the movie will be either great or an "artsie" disaster. This movie was long, dull at times, and its message was obscure. It wasn't a disaster but too "artsie" to be enjoyable. Most in the theatre left with a look of "what did I just spend 2 hours looking at". I gave the movie a solid 5… Expand
Sep 16, 2012I watched this film today, from a 70mm print. It is one of a handful of movies I wish I had never seen. It is slow and ponderous for the first half. The two main characters are unlikeable, which would be OK if they engaged you, which they don't. I might have sympathized with Freddie and his obvious PTSD issue if he hadn't been such a crude violent drunken jerk. The Master never felt real; portraying a faker without looking and feeling fake must be harder than I thought. All the way through this film is distinctly 1950's shooting and editing. The professional critics apparently love this; but in the theater audience it felt distinctly weird. We have moved on a long way from Panasonic 65mm cameras. This film is a throwback. If you like retro films and plots that go nowhere, this film was made for you.… Expand
Sep 27, 2012This was one of the worst movies we have ever seen. There are only 2 other movies we disliked more than this one! The acting was pretty good but seemed like a waste on such an absolutely terrible movie. Nearly walked out 3 times. If it wasn't for one of our friends sons who actually liked it we would have walked out. He was just released from a mental institute on Monday and hadn't seen a movie in over a year; he loved the seen of Joaquin masturbating to beach sand (no joke). He likes animals a little too much. We will not be hanging out with him again. Don't waste your money on this Church of Scientology bunk. Notice how this movie started off strong in early ratings, now that more people have seen it the user score has dropped significantly!… Collapse

Appearance - amber, nice head, lacing left
Aroma - grainy, is that metal?
Taste - Nice start, malty, caramel roastiness. Balanced with hops but I'm getting a bit of a metal taste that took away from the taste overall.
Mouthfeel - Nice carbonation, a bit thin.
Drinkability - a fairly good session beer, good and bad points.

I see it says this brew is retired. Well, I found one at a liquor store on my way home from work and decided to give it a try. The label intrigued me. Pours a clear dark copper with a thick head and some lacing.
Smells like biscuity malt and crisp hops.
Taste is very well balanced. Malt to start then a nice bittering by the hops. Very drinkable.
This one's a great sessioner. If I can find more I'll definitely buy again.

Clever label, interesting sounding ale so I picked one up a while back. Overall nice and tasty. Pours a medium amber color with a slightly creamy head that ultimately dissipates to a film. Moderate lacing is left along the glass and the carbonation is steady. The aroma is malty with a nutty undertone. I find the aroma slightly weak to detect but once the beer warms up it begins to come out a little more. I like the overall flavor of this one, it is rather malty with a slight hop character. The flavor is subtle, but it works well. Solid English Ale with a smooth finish and a clean aftertaste. Decent brew, nothing that stands out but all around decent.

Best by date of 8/17/2007 on it.
A : Pours a nice ruby color with a decent heads that leaves some nice lacing on the glass
S : Big on the malt with some hints of fruit
T : Real smooth strong malt flavors with a touch of bitterness at the end. It does have a little bit of an alcohol character to it
M : Real creamy
D : It's a shame that it's retired. It's a really drinkable beer and I could see downing a couple of these a night.

I managed to snag this since retired brew in a beer distributor in Yonkers NY. Although the best before date was 17 Aug 07, I figured I'd give it a shot.
The beer poured a dark amber color reminisent of iced tea and it left a nice off white head with lots of lace on the glass. The smell was fragrant, but not over powering. I enjoyed the taste, but it was a litte thinner then I would have expected from this style of ale.
I would definitely recommend this one to anyone that can still get there hands on it. A great session beer.

I was surprised to find this at Wayne's Liquor yesterday knowing that the production of this beer has ceased. You can tell this is English with the slogan on the label, "one of the cheekiest ales around!" Or by looking at the "brewed in London" phrase where the ABV is listed. So on to the beer:
Light orange to caramel color, the head is compact. The diacetyl in this brew melds together nicely with the rest of the flavors, with moderate tones of caramel and a kick of hops. Light splash of fruity esters are hinted as well. At first, I wasn't impressed by this, but the more I got along the more I wished I bought another bottle. Allowing it to warm up does wonders to this beer.

Enjoyed a couple months back, even though this offering has been retired. Still, I figured I'd post my findings anyway.
A: Over three fingers of pillowy, white head surge forth on the pour, leaving pockets of lace thick along the sides of the glass. The beer's color is a ruby-red with hints of russet that is transparent.
S: Mild malt aroma that contains notes of grain and a very faint toffee-sweetness. Other than that, not much in the way of the bouquet, but this subtlety is enticing.
T: Ultra-smooth malt flavor rolls over the front of the tongue. As it makes its way back, a brief flash of mildly bitter hops (very much English in character) keeps the palate on its toes. If you weren't looking for it, you might just miss it; but the flavor itself is so spot-on that it keeps you coming back. Finish is mostly a grainy malt feel that slides away freshly.
M: Chewy and well-carbonated, rather creamy in texture and definitely pleasing in conjunction with the flavors this beer exudes.
D: Incredibly drinkable, this is a fine session beer. Flavor is ultra-mild, but still has enough subtle nuance for the palate to stay interested. All this coupled with a low abv makes for fine drinking. Unfortunately, this one has been axed, which is a shame.

I picked this beer up in Nashville a few weeks back; BA says it is retired, but there are still some bottles around TN. This is my BA one year anniversary review. I chose this beer because it was my profile picture for most of that year.
Poured into a pint glass Best before date - June 26, 2007
A - This beer pours a dark ruby with a two finger creamy off white head. Decent lacing.
S - Aroma is big on the malt, maybe some dark fruits in there as well.
T - This is a very malty beer that is fairly sweet. Definitely has the taste of figs, and finishes with a very light bitterness. However, there is an alcohol character to this beer that isnt pleasant, slightly medicinal.
M - Nice creamy mouthfeel, very lightly carbonated.
D - This would be very drinkable if it wasnt for the slightly medicinal taste. A very malty bitter, that seems closer to an ESB to me. If Young's was still making this beer, I would definitely recommend it; the band aid taste in my beer may have come from its age.

500ml bottle into a nonic. Best by date of August 17, 2007. BA has this listed as an English Bitter but at 5.2ABV it is awfully strong, even for a Best Bitter.
Pours a hazy amber with copper highlights. Surprisingly tall head, maybe 3" of a finely textured tan foam that settles to a thin but solid layer which persists down the glass leaving a little lace.
Aroma of malt, caramel, floral hop, honey and tangerine, very nice.
A woody, biscuity taste starts, surprisingly unsweet. Deep toasty malt flavor mingles with some herbal hops. Well-balnced just a little to the bitter side. Finish is long, easy, and pleasant.
Full body with moderate to low carbonation gives a rich creamy mouthfeel that avoids being too sticky. Goes down easy, dangerously drinkable.
It is unfortunate that Dirty Dick's is no more, though I probably wouldn't feel so bad if Young's would get some of their other bottled beers over to the USA.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is an amber-orange color with a one-finger tan colored head. The smell has a sweet amber maltiness about it, a slight fruitiness and just a whisper of hops. The taste also has an initial sweet maltiness and fruitiness but finishes slightly bitter. The mouthfeel is incredibly smooth, with a medium body and light carbonation. Very drinkable, easy to put down quickly. Overall a good beer, sad to see it go. I too had a best before date of 8/17/07 so I guess I was lucky to try it.

Freshness date of August 17, 2007. I must have had one of the last bottles produced. Pours between an amber and a brown with an orange tint. Head is slightly on the short side and fades to a cap. Some okay lacing. The smell is very fruity- almost like fruity pebbles, with orange, cherry, rapberry, and banana, as wellas some cereal grain. Unusual. The taste is more mellow and very smooth. Subdued fruit, a slight copperiness, and earthy, bitter hops on the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is smooth but substantial. A little different, I'm sorry to see it go.

Poured a bottle of this beer out into a glass mug. I was impressed with it from the onset. The appearance of the beer was a dark amber color with a fairly small white head with decent retention. The head reduces to a nice lacing that holds with the rest of the beer. The smell was very malty and had me enticed. The taste was slightly bitter and malty with kind of a nutty aftertaste. The mouthfeel was pretty thick and very smooth. Despite its thickness, this beer is nice and smooth and very drinkable. Highly recommended.

This beer has a dark redish brown to it. Highly carbonated and retained its head quite well. Looks very inviting.
It smelled malty, somewhat toasty aroma. It was ok, not memorable.
Really good. A lot better than expected. Could taste the maltiness. It is somewhat bitter in a good way.
Coarsed and very carbonated.
Is now one of my favorite ales. Very impressed.

Pours a dark copper-y red body with large, light-tan head. Decent lacing.
Dark, toasty malts laced with yeast. Brown sugar and coffee notes. Kind of a brown ale aroma, methinks. Pretty interesting.
Medium-full body, thick but very smooth. Slightly carbonated. Body is a little heavy, a little like Rosie O'Donnel and not enough like Scarlett Johanson.
Deliciously dark and toasty. Lightly bitter hops. Nice coffee/caramel layer, maybe fig/raisin?
Quite nice. Similar to a Bass, but with more depth. Almost crosses into brown ale territory, but who cares. Good beer, but nothing extraordinary.

A new poll says Governor Pat Quinn remains the least popular governor in America.
The survey, by Public Policy Polling, shows just one in four Illinois voters approve of Quinn's performance and almost two-thirds disapprove. That's similar to what a FOX 32 News survey found last year.
The new poll shows that, in an election held today, Quinn would likely lose to most of the potential challengers lining up to run against him.
If there's any good news for the governor, it's that the election isn't until November 2014.

It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation.
San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.
Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine).

The Goodman® GSH13 13 SEER Heat Pump features an attractive louvered metal guard that protects the coil from damage and strengthens the unit. Designed for ground-level or rooftop mount, the base pan elevates the unit above the slab for excellent water drainage. A powder-paint finish provides premium durability and improved UV protection.
This heat pump requires an indoor air handler or evaporator coil as part of a complete system. The coil or air handler you should use depends on two factors about the condenser: the tonnage, and the efficiency rating ("SEER"). Usually, high efficiency condensers require a larger tonnage coil than the tonnage of the condenser. For example, a 2 ton 16 SEER condenser might be paired with a 3 ton evaporator coil. To find the specific coils and air handlers that are recommended by the manufacturer for this condenser, check the Accessories tab above. Also, you can view the manufacturer's specifications sheets at the Documents tab above.
Some models of the Goodman condensers include an orifice (also called "flow rater" or "piston") in a small bag taped to the side of the condenser. If the condenser you purchase includes this orifice, you will need to replace the orifice already inside the evaporator coil or air handler you purchase with this orifice included with the condenser. Doing so makes the condenser and evaporator coil compatible. You can view this step-by-step guide to see how to easily change the orifice.
If you are installing a heat pump with a backup heat source which will be a fuel furnace, you will need to install an electronic all fuel kit. This kit switches between the two heat sources as needed and prevents both the heat pump and backup heat from running at the same time. Alternatively, you can install the Honeywell VisionPro 8000 (TH8320U 1008) thermostat which has the all-fuel kit functionality built in, in which case an external all-fuel kit would not be needed.

Please note that this equipment uses liquid refrigerant and that by federal law you must be EPA certified to handle the refrigerant. You can purchase this equipment without being certified, and if you are mechanically inclined you can perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However, you must have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation which requires managing the refrigerant.

Cabinet Features
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.

Not sure if there's a thread for this already but I thought it would be cool to see you guys' responses. This one is simple. Rank your top 5 weakest chins in boxing. Here's mine:
Roy Jones Jr- I mean c'mon....ANYBODY has a shot against him, despite him being one of the most talented boxers ever, simply because when he gets hit he does the stanky leg almost immediately.
Amir Khan- I think this kid is extremely talented. Unfortunately, Roach didn't develop enough SKILL to refine that talent and years of pulling straight back when he's done punching has caught up to him. If you fart loud enough, you'll KO him.
Chad Dawson- His entire career is full of fights in which he dominates but has that one round in which he looks like Bambi on ice.
Yuri Gamboa- You'd think someone who regularly gets dropped by the finest, most ripe cherry picked opponents would utilize an ounce of defense.
James Kirkland- I put him here because I'm not sure if Jermain Taylor even fights anymore. "Twinkle toes...you're breaking my heart." For a guy who likes to mix it up, he's often caught dancing like George Jefferson when he gets hit.

I said Roy Jones because he's still fighting. It's not an indictment on his career. It's about what he is now. As of right now, he has ZERO chin. I seriously think if I caught him with a shot, he'd go down. I NEVER fought professionally in my life and would never claim to.
You are 100% correct then. He has no business being in a ring right now
