Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center achieves AAHA Accreditation
The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) has achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence at both locations following a thorough evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). The VMC-Columbus, located at 601 Vernon Tharp St., and the VMC-Dublin, located at 5020 Bradenton Ave., have both earned AAHA accreditation. The VMC-Columbus has now been continuously accredited since 1975 (38 years), and the VMC-Dublin achieved this important status after being open for just six months. The accreditation process includes a rigorous review of the hospitals' patient care, practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service.
Accredited hospitals are the only hospitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine. AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence.
"I would like to congratulate the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center on vigilantly keeping up with advancements in veterinary medicine and adhering to the Association's high standards," said Michael Cavanaugh, DVM, DABVP, AAHA chief executive officer. "They are clearly committed to doing their very best as evidenced by the hard work and effort they put into this voluntary process."
Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited.
Pet owners look for AAHA-accredited hospitals because they value their pet's health and trust the consistent, expert care provided by the entire health care team. At AAHA-accredited practices, pet owners can expect to receive the highest quality care from well-trained, professional veterinary teams.
Only the top small animal hospitals in the United States and Canada have achieved accreditation by the Association. To maintain accredited status, the Veterinary Medical Center must continue to be evaluated regularly by AAHA.
The VMC-Columbus can be reached at 614-292-3551 (dogs and cats) or vet.osu.edu/vmc; and the VMC- Dublin, can be reached at 614-889-8070 or online vet.osu.edu/vmc-dublin.

Well I went back to the gun shot today and fondled a whole slew of hand guns trying to figure out the next purchase and decided on the Ruger SR 1911. Pisser of it is; after 30 minutes of touching and groping everything I finally made up my mind and settled on the Ruger, I pulled out my wallet to get it and was informed that they don't have any yet. That was just the shelf model. They are building the waiting list and they aren't scheduled to get any in for 3 to 5 months. GGgggrrrrrrrrrrrr Soooooooo.... I should have this around or a bit after Christmas
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. ~George Washington

Good choice. Now the wait begins.
I hate waiting but I'm kind of locked in so I'm stuck dealing with it. Never owned or shot a 1911 so I'm really looking forward to it.
I signed up on the waiting list at Scheels in Iowa City for a SR1911 early this year. They haven't called me yet. I don't know if the list is just that long, or they lost the list.
There are several on Gunbroker.http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/SearchResults.aspx?SearchType=0&Timeframe=0&Keywor ds=ruger+1911&Cat=3026&Items=50 Buy it now for $799http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=251586400 Or $775http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=251600955
Court, don't feel bad. I ordered mine the day they released back in May. I still havn't seen it!
That really sucks. A little good news would be better.

It might not look like much but Angularis's twitchy nature means you'll find yourself returning to it a surprising amount of times – all the more so when you're trying to unlock new modes. It's just a shame that once you've done that, there's little reason to stick with it.
The idea is remarkably simple: light beams are approaching at speed and it's down to you to align two other light beams with them. Speed is of the essence here as the beams don't take long at all to reach their plateau. Predictably, things start out reasonably slowly, then soon speed up to levels that you could only succeed at while being instinctive.
The first mode to be available involves simply lining up two straight lines, but reach a certain point and Hexagon mode unlocks – eventually leading to Octagon mode. The principle might remain the same but it's trickier with multiple moves often required in speedy fashion. Each side of the screen corresponds to either going clockwise or counter-clockwise, and while early on you could get by with sticking with one side, you're going to need to manipulate both to have any chance of succeeding here. That's also where the real challenge to Angularis shines through and it's satisfying to chip away at your own high scores, or others'.
The only real irritant is that its ad banners are all too easy to tap on, as they appear quickly after failing in game. Rarely do sessions of Angularis take particularly long to conclude and that's why it works pretty well as an easy game to dip into for a few minutes every now and then. The Game Center leaderboards play a pivotal role here in encouraging you to work towards a better score.
Because it's so simply done the novelty will wear off eventually, but while it's hooked you, Angularis really is rather fun.

I'm setting up a database to better track our external links in order to keep an eye on who is reciprocating. On a couple of our pages, there are a surprising number of sites we are linking to that no longer have links to us (on noes!)
My question: will google frown upon me if I simply delete lots of these bad links within the next couple of days? I'm talking about ~50+ links or so.
If it is, keep the link.
If it not, then delete the link.
Reciprocal linking is dead. Link for quality and for traffic, not for PR.
Have you first contacted the sites (of the ones you'd like to continue with) to see if they will replace your recip?
Haste makes waste, I'd say, unless any of the outbound are to farms and whatnot. Drop those like a bad habit.
Hence my OA.
I guess 50 links is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. We have around 700k inbound links lol. I guess I've answered my own question.. just paranoid of making the wrong step. I think my clean-up is going to help us in the serps.. xfingers!
Echoing what others have said, sod Google, provide content for your readers. Scrap dead links, keep links which are useful to your readers. If the search engines like the page, good, if not, that's their bad.

Springhares are large, nocturnally active, diurnally fossorial rodents that typically inhabit arid and semi-arid areas. This lifestyle means that they need to balance excessive heat loss when foraging at night against insufficient heat loss in a potentially warm, humid burrow and both of these against the need to minimize water turnover and energy requirements. In this study we investigated metabolism and thermoregulation in these animals. Basal metabolic rate averaged 8.62±1.37 J g−1 h−1 and minimum thermal conductance 0.386±0.062 J g−1 h−1 °C−1. These were higher and lower than expected, respectively. This, along with a relatively low, lower critical temperature and broad thermal neutral zone indicate that springhares are physiologically well suited to the low night-time temperatures, which they typically encounter. Body temperatures were quite labile but springhares became hyperthermic at temperatures above 30 °C suggesting that they are poor thermoregulators at high temperatures. This is attributed to their seldom, if ever, encountering temperatures in this range. Insufficient heat loss under normal resting conditions does not appear to be a problem, as springhares inhabit deep burrows in which the temperature never exceeds the upper critical temperature. Excess heat generated during vigorous underground exercise is presumably stored and dissipated to the cool night air or the cooler soil when subsequently resting. Water turnover and energy expenditure are presumably adequately addressed by other physiological and behavioural characteristics.

A rumour has started spinning about From Software's next game. The rumour comes from 4Chan, which should be considered a shaky source at best, but it is accompanied by images purportedly taken from a hidden trailer for the game, and they certainly look like they come from a legitimate game project. Folks over at NeoGAF are also posting about the game, although they cite 4Chan as their source too.
Here are some of the images that came from the trailer:

Marionettevie said:.... if what is being implied is true that the birth mother broke off the engagement, and didnt tell him about his daughter until the girl was 4months old i think he has EVERY right to take that child. she is his after all. the way things have been handled seem to me to be a little off....
if he gave up his rights and then reneged then he shouldnt be able to take her from her adoptive parents.
soooo mom gets no say? why dont they track down this mom and have her testify.
momofeveryone said:soooo mom gets no say? why dont they track down this mom and have her testify.
Im also on the side of the father. He has every right to claim his child. I used to work for Child Protection and any time a child came into custody we HAD to ask if there was any Indian blood in the family and if there were, we HAD to notify the tribes so that they could conduct their own investigation and could take the child.
It does suck that they had the child for 2 years and she is being reclaimed, but the dad still has rights. There's a reason this law exists..It's because Indian children WERE being STOLEN and adopted out.

Nico Rosberg is quickly turning into a leading force in Mercedes, with the capacity to push the development of his team forward. Still relatively young, its a real achievement, but when you consider Rosbergs team mate is Michael Schumacher, its startling. The German discusses his illustrious counterpart, the upgrades Mercedes have brought to Barcelona this weekend and why its critical they match their qualifying successes come race Sunday
Q: Nico, when it comes to the Mercedes team the expectations are always high. But are they higher here in Barcelona? The team did well here in the pre-season test sessions...
Nico Rosberg: Its not only here. Our own expectations are high at every track we go to. From the speed that we had at the last two races - and the upgrades that we have on the car here - we hope to do better, but miracles are not very likely to happen. The work to close the gap step-by-step is intense, but yes, I see the potential to come closer here.
Q: Barcelona is usually where teams introduce the first large-scale aero upgrades of the season. How big a suitcase of goodies did Mercedes bring here?
NR: It should be enough for a good step forward. But in reality it is difficult to say, as all others bring updates too. So its a question of who did the best homework - who got it right more than the rest?
Q: After the Turkish race many pundits have felt it necessary to pass judgment on the performance of your team mate Michael Schumacher. They say Schumacher is not so much slow, but that you are so much faster, especially in qualifying
NR: Of course it is nice to hear that others see it that way, as it shows how much I have developed. I am also pretty satisfied with the performance I have shown and I hope that together with the team it will be the beginning of something bigger. I hope that we will be able to translate our excellent qualifying performance into tangible race results, as this is what we still were lacking in Istanbul.
Q: But what are your thoughts on your team mate? You see everything at close range
NR: Due to the accident in Istanbul he was not able to show how fast he is. But let me tell you something - when I come to a track on a race weekend I also depend on things working perfectly and smoothly to keep me ahead of him. I come to every race track with the impression that he will be very strong. Naturally I am not too unhappy about how it is working out for me compared to my team mate.
Q: But you definitely dont think he is too old?
NR: Definitely not.
Q: After four races it should be a good point to reflect. What has caused you the most frustration?
NR: Well, I would say the whole team was a bit disappointed that we were not where we hoped we would be, which was at the very front. So being stuck somewhere in the middle was not the start we had anticipated. But it is good to see that step-by-step we are working our way to the front. But I have no illusions that its a bit of a rocky road, still.
Q: Coming back to February and the test session where Michael (Schumacher) clocked the fastest time. Where did you go wrong after that point?
NR: Its true, we were pretty fast in those days, but I also believe that the other teams, like Red Bull Racing, were holding back a bit. Add to that the fact we made some mistakes in set-up at the first races and then you have the situation weve been in. It took a bit of time until we understood the car and were able to get more and more out if it. And this weekend with the new parts we should be in a pretty good shape. We learnt a lot at the last race - that weve probably concentrated too much on qualifying and that the car was not that perfect in the race. We will definitely look at keeping a better balance of both this weekend.
Q: What upgrades have Mercedes brought here?
NR: The whole bodyshell is new, which we expect should give us some tenths per lap. The suspension is modified and a couple of minor things. All in all, it looks like a very competitively upgraded package.
Q: This weekend will probably be a tyre race again. Pirelli bring their new super hard tyres. What do you expect?
NR: We do have some experience with these tyres as weve been running them in some practice sessions this season. I dont expect a fundamentally different situation. We will see the race unfolding just as the previous races. Well have numerous pit stops. So far we have seen that this is improving the show, so I think it is all good.
Q: The Circuit de Catalunya is known to be one of the most challenging tracks of the season, especially aerodynamically. What has this track got that others dont have?
NR: This track has faster corners, which are interlinked, so aerodynamics will be a key issue this weekend. With our new bodyshell we should be in good shape and I would say that already from what was visible today our guys in the factory did a good job. Lets hope that we get the qualifying/race balance right.

Joy Is A Religious Obligation
Jewish tradition recognizes Sukkot as a celebration and sharing of our material possessions.
But making joy holy means being selective in the enjoyment of God's gifts, not worshiping those gifts or those who own them. The first and foremost expression of this insight is to share the bounty and the joy. Gifts from the harvest were given to the poor: "You shall rejoice before the Lord. You, your son and daughter, manservant and maid, the Levite... the stranger, the orphan, the widow in your midst" (Deuteronomy 16:11).
A special holiday feature is the ushpizin, hospitality for honored guests. By tradition, every night a different biblical personality is invited to visit the sukkah and join the company. A custom that has been growing recently is to invite great matriarchs of the Jewish people as well. Families invite stand-ins for these biblical figures--fellow human beings, especially those who are needy or who need a sukkah in which to eat. This mitzvah is especially important in contemporary society; since bureaucracies and institutions take care of welfare and medical coverage, people often forget the importance of personal acts of gemilut chasadim (loving-kindness). The Rabbis say that such acts are the foundations of the world because they are fundamental expressions of human solidarity and human contact in a largely impersonal world.

DISC8110 - The Information Age Organiztn
Spring 2015: Doctora This Inquiry Seminar focuses on the dramatic changes within organizations in the late 20th century as affected by information technology and such elements of change as restructuring, entrepreneurship, and managing the complex organization. Through a series of case analyses, students explore the design of the information age organization and the information infrastructure required to support it. The organizations featured in the cases have implemented, or are in the process of implementing, organizational designs that embody the characteristics of the information age drawn from field research.

Course includes readings and discussions, demonstrations, case analysis, analysis. 3 credits. 3 Credits |
DISC8720 - Ethnography Of Info Systms
Spring 2015: Doctora This field investigation seminar examines how ethnographic methods may be used (a) to analyze information-based work practices and, in turn, (b) to inform the design of informational systems to be sensitive to those who use them. Typically, information-based practices are highly distributed (shared by many parts of a single organization), infrastructural and radidly changing--features that have required those in information sciences who draw on ethnography to being modifying its classical principles and tools. For this reason, the focus is on using ethnographic methods within specific information-based domains (e.g. governmental and industrial sites, business and scientific organizations) and for specific purposes that are relevant to the science of information systems (e.g. workplace assessment of new technologies, requirements engineering, and participatory design). Grounded in this way, the course aims to help students develop the judgment necessary to design, test, and evaluate effective information systems of the future. 3 credits 3 Credits |

DISC9110 - Data Warehousing
Spring 2015: Doctora provides an introduction to, strategies for, and applications of data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in databases. Data mining, "the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data," uses machine learning, statistical and visualization techniques to discover and present knowledge in a form which is easily comprehensible to humans. The course focuses on the analysis of data and the use of software techniques for finding patterns and regularities in sets of data. In particular, the course emphasizes data mining analysis which works from the data up and employs the best techniques developed with an orientation towards large volumes of data, making use of as much of the collected data as possible to arrive at reliable conclusions and decisions. The analysis process starts with a set of data, uses a methodology to develop an optimal representation of the structure of the data during which time knowledge is acquired. Once knowledge has been acquired in a particular field, students will extend this knowledge to larger sets of data working on the assumption that the larger data set has a structure similar to the sample data. Applications will be across the fields relevant to students careers and interests. 3 Credits. 3 Credits |
DISC9310 - Spec Topics In Is and Comm
Spring 2015: Doctora This seminar focuses on problems like the technical, management and legal aspects of the Year 2000 computer problem and its ramifications in small and large businesses and organizations.

Hello Comcast friends,
Here lately, I'd say in the last few weeks, I've noticed an unacceptable number of signal drops. Sometimes power cycling helps, but most of the time I have to just wait out whatever connectivity issue is occurring. The problem seems to be very random with no specific time frame. When the service works, it works great. But the frequent drops are getting to the "I'm not paying for this" stage. Hopefully the collective audience here can assist. Below are some technical details that might help pinpoint the issue.
Modem: Motorola SB6120
Service: Performance Internet (20/3)
Last Speedtest: Ping, 15ms; Download, 25.01 Mbps; Upload, 4.36 Mbps
Modem Status:
Downstream: SNR, 34 dB; Modulation, QAM256; Power Level, -13 dBmV
Upstream: Frequency, 36400000 Hz; Power Level, 57 dBmV
From the wall plate, there is one splitter for modem & cable box use. The splitter is known to be good. I haven't yet checked the box outside to see if/how many splits are present going to this wall outlet.
Any and all additional input will be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You are on the right track by checking splitters and wiring, your signal is significantly out of spec.
Thanks for the confirmation. Follow up... had a rep come out on Saturday and he was most helpful. We found out a few things...
1) The cable modem wasn't on the best connector in the house. We resolved this by moving the cables around on the splitter in the box outside to make a more direct connection to the modem.
2) Replaced the 3-way splitter for the cable box & modem for a 2-way. I did not know that even an unused port on an additional splitter will still degrade the signal.
3) The rep still wasn't happy with the upstream power level, so he had a team tweak the downstream for my neighborhood. Now my cable modem consistently hovers between 48 and 50 dBmV upstream power.
Overall very satisfied with the responsiveness of this forum, the phone rep with whom I scheduled the appointment, and the on-site rep who seemed to know his stuff.
Thanks for the update, glad you got it fixed!

Eats According to my iPhone – Subway & Halcyon x 3
Before I share what I've been eating lately, I should mention one lunch that is not pictured. Last weekend I ventured into a Subway for the first time in maybe 7 years. To read all about that story, you'll have to read and watch "Food Babe Investigates: Is Subway Real Food?" at 100 Days of Real Food. My expression at the end of the video says it all.
This investigation was further shared by one of my true food heroes – Robyn O'Brien (The author of The Unhealthy Truth and founder of the Allergy Kids Foundation). Check out what she wrote about it on Prevention Magazine. To say that I am thrilled about this, is an understatement!

We're a long, long way from 2008, but I'm ready to make a prediction. All by itself, this statement will prevent Hillary Clinton from winning a single "red" state:
In a surprise move yesterday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called for "most of the country" to return to a speed limit of 55 mph in an effort to slash fuel consumption.
"The 55-mile speed limit really does lower gas usage. And wherever it can be required, and the people will accept it, we ought to do it," Clinton said at the National Press Club.
Real, real dumb, Hillary. That'll go over like a lead baloon everywhere outside of your east coast metro base. Spoken like somebody who hasn't driven a car for herself in a decade and a half.
UPDATE: Hillary's most recent Capitol Hill press conference on re-mandating the 55 mph speed limit was interrupted by a concerned citizen. We have an exclusive photo:
UPDATE UPDATE: Roger L. Simon has something of a differing view.

Return to 55? That won't even work inside her east coast metro base. Nobody that drives wants to go 55, suburban soccer moms included.

You may want to rename the piece "Hillary Rodham Nixon," for it was Nixon's era that nationalized the 55 mph. Though, it does seem Carteresque.

But still, in the city it wouldn't have nearly the impact of rural areas.
The vast majority of your time in cities is spent going under that speed anyway. If you get on a free-flowing freeway then it probably won't take you very long to get where you're going. The thing that takes the time is at either end, so if you increase the travel time on the freeway by 15% it might only increase total trip-times in metro areas by around 5%. Not to say that it will be popular, but it won't be as bad as rural areas where practically all the roads would be affected by this.

"and the people will accept it".
So basically, that means she can have this policy and not implement it anywhere. Except maybe in Hollywood where everyone commutes in helicopters.

This woman is delusional.
We have a new stretch of highway near our house, the 202. The speed limit is 65 but we all know that no one ever gets pulled over or ticketed unless they're going faster than 75. I'm on that road nearly every day with my kids and I do my best to keep it at or under 75 mph, but when I do, people are just flying past me. On more than one occasion this week I've checked the speedometer and found I was going 85 mph, and I wasn't passing anyone, just going with the flow.
Sadly, I predict camera-backed enforcement of the 75-mph pseudo-speed limit, as we now have on stretches of the 101.
I don't know anyone who has the self-control to drive only 55 mph on a road like the 202. (Even my husband, who is the most traffic-law-abiding person I know, drives 75 mph highway.) It's just not going to happen.

edgar hit the nail on the head. Hillary gets to look like she's really doing something environmental and gas-saving but all the while knowing it will never be implemented. A consumate Politician.

Does going 55 really help fuel efficiency that much, anyway? Since the original national-speed limit was introduced, many cars have gotten a lot more aerodynamic, so their most efficient speed may be different from the average most efficient speed of the past, I'd think.
Maybe someone who's a little more up on these things can tell me — am I completely off the mark on that?

For all Nixon's real and imaginary wrong doings I hold him in the most contempt for the 55 mph limit.
We drive the I 95 corridor from central Florida to central Connecticut often and unless the traffic is very heavy as around DC, we're all tooling along at 80 and above.

Robin: most cars get their best mileage at the lowest speed that holds top gear. For a modern car with an automatic transmission that's probably 40-45 mph, so yes, 55 does probably save gas. You're on to something about new cars, though: they're much easier to drive fast because they're more aerodynamic (which makes them quieter at speed), engines are a lot quieter too, and handling is better, even for pickups and minivans. A '65 Mustang is a cool car, but it's a handful to drive at 85 miles an hour: it's loud, and the steering is loose, and you have to pay attention to keep it on the road. Your minivan is probably easier to drive fast for any sort of distance.

And what does Hillary drive? I propose that ANYONE who even lectures anyone else about saving gas and petroleum should disclose what car they drive, and publish their heating/cooling bill.
(I'd wager me driving 55 on long trips would save far, far, far less gas/oil than Hillary would save in heating/cooling costs by purchasing a smaller home.)

"Robin: most cars get their best mileage at the lowest speed that holds top gear."
Actually, it's a little more complicated than that. For any given engine, there's a point on the curve where you get maximum RPM's (which, in top gear, ultimately determine how fast the wheels are turning) per unit of fuel. At that point, when you're in top gear, is when you'll get peak efficiency.
The EPA, however, still calculates highway gas mileage based on the 55mph speed limit (which, incidentally, is why the rated highway mileage almost never matches with reality, since most highways in the US are 65-75mph speed limits).
For example, I drive a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX (manual transmission). It's rated at 27mpg on the highway. At 75 (Alabama has 70mph Interstate speed limits), I usually get about 24-25. At 65, I actually get about 30, which is more than it's rated at.
The car will actually run fine in fifth gear (it's highest) at 45. So obviously, going slower (55, as the EPA does) isn't going to give me better gas mileage. You've got to find the sweet spot, and it's different with every car.

In regards to my last comment, I have a good friend who used to drive a 280Z that got better gas mileage the faster it was driven.
The same friend now drives a 2000 Corvette, which he drove at one point from Boston to Seattle. It's rated at 18 city/ 27 highway (Dan usually got about 16 driving in Seattle), but cruising through Montana at 140 (back when they had no speed limits), he got 36mpg. My own guess is that the huge 5.7 liter V8 uses so much gas to begin with that running it at high speeds just means your covering a lot more distance for very little more gas.
All of that's just to illustrate that the most efficient speed is totally and completely dependent on the car.
And with that said, for most cars it's much lower than that – in the 55-65 range. Just pointing out that this isn't always the case.

Speed… limit? Does this have something to do with those funny signs with numbers on them beside the road, and those weird cars with the flashing lights that show up in my mirrors from time to time.. for a few seconds, anyway?

This sort of "plan" would actually probably get California to vote against her too.

Back following the 1972 oil embargo, my dad (a big union guy and a Democrat) had a bumper sticker that read, "Be thrifty. Drive 50. So Nixon can fly."
When was the last time Hillary drove anywhere? If she really wants to save oil, maybe she should quit riding on those business jets and take ordinary airliners like the rest of us. A single flight on a Gulfstream V over 1000 miles will typically burn more fuel than a family uses for a year. Meanwhile, I've read that a Boeing 737-800 can carry over 100 people from coast to coast using an average of 35 gallons of jet fuel for each passenger. A Prius should do so good.
Try driving anywhere out West (an alien environment to Hillary outside of Hollywood) at 55 MPH. You'll add hours to a trip and probably increase your chances of falling asleep at the wheel. Sorry, but this is yet another reason to never vote for Hillary.

Hiliary won't be President no matter what speed limit she wants. have you seen her recently? She looks exhausted, and thats just from being a senator. She will not make it through the primaries.

Russell, I think you are underestimating the "normal" cars, my 95 galant is listed as 22/28 by the EPA, but in normal driving I get 29-30, and cruising I-25 at 85 gets me 35-36, past that it starts to fall off. I think any recent car that paid any attention at all to aerodynamics and has decent power (over 120hp or so) will react similarly. As a side note, most trucks and SUV's don't seem to consider aerodynamics all that much, my toyota gets best mileage when crawling around in 4 low.

Russell, the SR-71, supersecret spy plane, got its best fuel mileage at maximum speed. It reached a point where it couldn't put fuel through the engines any faster at speeds somewhat below the maximum, published at Mach 3.29 (2,193 mph, 3530 km ph) at 80,000 feet.

Speed limits are just another form of taxation, which is why Hillary "Cankles" Clinton is all for them. In a way I'd like to see her become president, overnight the press would realize our economy is robust and the war in Iraq would suddenly seem won.

is the difference between the amount of gasoline used to drive 500 miles at 55 versus 500 miles at 75 really more than a negligible quantity? hillary says that the 55 limit "really does lower gas usage". and this "fact" is based on… what?
i will definitely vote against hillary if she runs in 08. our government intrudes on our lives in too many ways already, and we can only expect more intrusion from this socialist politico.

Hell, I drive 60 on rural back-roads, and she wants me to do 55 on the Interstate? On a serious note, I currently live 96 miles from where I work. (Stupid hurricanes…) As it is, I spend three hours commuting every day. Yeah, I want to boost that to be more like four hours. (As if I'd have been voting for her regardless… but hey, that doesn't mean I can't be verbally opposed to this idea!)

Tried 55 today. Got rear-ended by a Mini Cooper.
Also, I figured it might help to leave the AC off, so I was dressed in a thong and flip flops in the car. Was ticketed for driving while under the influence of a mind altering political substance.
I am for the 55 mph limit only IF it is a "hate crime" to fire a weapon at drivers in the far left lane who are abiding by it, as would happen routinely in several jurisdictions.

Harkening back to the 2000 election, the speed limit is just a suggestion.
Or, "Officer, can I go back to where you saw me and drive the distance again?"

Coincidentally, I happen to be in Germany. They are very energy conscious – so much so that they turn off the traffic lights (and revert to backup signs) after midnight in rural areas.
The autobahn has no speed limits at all in most areas. My daughter will be driving along at between 80-90 mph and it is routine to be passed by people doing 10-20 mph more.
The Germans are more tolerant of restrictions than Americans. There are quiet hours when, for example, nobody can mow their lawn. Today happens to be a holiday, so ALL the stores are closed. Bakeries closed at 11:00… That's the way it is.
Nobody here is talking seriously about speed limits. It will not happen. Back home, I'd say fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. No sale.

Larry: The SR-71 also leaked fuel on the runway, because it was built with cracks in the fuselage that would expand and close due to friction heat at high mach speeds, so it had to refuel in flight right after takeoff.
With that said, I can't help but wonder how many miles to the gallon you get at Mach 3+ (BTW, the "official" speeds are almost certainly low. Most industry estimates put it's actual top speed at Mach 3.4 or higher).
Puff: I stand corrected.

I remember the 55mph very well. It took all day to go from Wichita to Denver back then. I can't even imagine driving the interstate thru Kansas or Nebraska at those speeds again. I have not had a speeding ticket since the limit went back up, and I racked up a ton of them before that. It wouldnt surprise me if an attempt to raise them happened though. I see the Click-it or Ticket-it campaign is in full force, and just yesterday the Sheriff dept here in my county in Nebraska was running a random traffic stop to make sure everyone was wearing their seat belt and NO ONE complained. It's all for the children, you know. I can see the new commercials for 55, save lives! starting any day now.

"The EPA, however, still calculates highway gas mileage based on the 55mph speed limit"
Actually the highway rated mileage isn't really highway. It's more extra-urban case with 40-55 mph sections and some stop and go. For that matter they aren't running the car on pump gas anyway (they're using a lab grade fuel) so it only has a passing resemblance to reality.
Joe Schropshire is essentially correct, top gear and drive 40-55 for best fuel economy. If you go faster than that, you may get some initial benefit from added engine efficiency until you hit max efficiency at the torque peak. But air resistance increases with the square of velocity, so it will swamp inceases in engine efficiency very quickly.

Is she nuts? This isn't a left vs right issue… this is an everybody issue. The only thing worse than saying such a thing would actually be doing such a thing.
Then, every time you are driving and frustrated by the limit, you'd be able to curse her for the issue. That's a dumb move for a politician to get involved in.
Is this true?

On the SR-71– yes, it leaked fuel on the ground, but at a fairly slow rate. That wasn't the reason they were refueled in the air, but rather it was considered "safer" for them to take off with a light fuel load, then tank up when airborne.
As to fuel consumption, I believe it's in the neighborhood of 7,800 gph at full whack (Mach 3, ramjet mode). So, with a (very) rough approximation of ground speed at Mach 3 being some 2,280 miles per hour, you'd be getting around 3.42 gallons per mile. For the thrust output the J58′s offer, that's outstanding economy.
With 80,000 pounds of fuel on board (roughly 12,240 gallons, using the density rating of Jet B / JP4, which is entirely wrong for JP7, but at least in the ballpark), you'd be able to haul the mail for around an hour and a half and cover 3,200 miles or so, at a bargain cost of $26,316.
Not exactly Prius mileage, but it'll certainly get you laid more.

Hillary is relying on voter amnesia — must be cribbing her husband's notes.
The 55 mph limit was mandated by the feds, of course, years ago to "save gas" (willfully ignoring that oil is a commodity) the last time this issue was a political football. When they actually found the "savings" were negligable or a bad trade-off, they switched the campaign to … safety! Yes, remember the "55 saves lives" bumper stickers? Our honorable elected reps even withheld federal funds from states that wouldn't cow-tow — often in conjunction with upping their drinking age to 21.
When enough evidence surfaced showing that driving 55 didn't "save" gas *or* lives — and the political coast was clear — they punted … and we all got to drive like Sammy Hagar.
Hillary (and Sammy for that matter) is old enough to know this tale. Just more worthless political point-scoring and potential waste of taxpayer dollars.

Hagar always carries the water for the lib establishment on Alice Cooper's radio show. He gets into downright shouting matches with The Motor City Madman Ted Nugent.
Didn't realize that he contributed to Bush, that much… doesn't make much sense…May 27, 2006 - 12:03 pm Link to this Comment -
And it has come to my attention that Dana Roerbacher, whom hagar donated wads of cash to, co-authored the "shamnesty bill". The one that provided in-state tuition, etc etc for illegals. So, he donated to a RINO.

I guess that syncronizing traffic signals to enhance traffic flows, rather than stiffle them (to induce red light running: ie, traffic fines) never srossed their wretched little minds.
Since about 3/4ths of road miles are city traffic, it'd make much more sense to push gas mileage towards the "HIGHWAY" side of the EPA window sticker. But of course, that would take away $$$BILLIONS in revenue via traffic fines. It might save a few thousand lives too. Can't have that, though, the money is too important.

text: TA41 Stage LightingThis course introduces the theory and practice of stage lighting, stressing the role of the lighting designer in a theatrical production team. The course covers lighting instruments and controls; the aesthetics of color; the distribution, intensity, and movement of light; and basic principles of electricity. Students gain practical experience in the design and implementation of a light plot. Crew assignment for college productions is required.IVC's Stage Lighting course has two aims. First, students learn the knowledge and skills of a stage electrician. This includes familiarity with all of the different kinds of lighting fixtures, and other equipment used. In addition, stage electricians must understand principles of electricity, data distribution, and safety procedures. In our class, students learn the basic skills necessary to hang, focus and operate lighting equipment for live theater performances. Second, students learn the knowledge and skills of a theatrical lighting designer. This includes understanding of light as a medium for artistic expression and its function in a theatrical production. Students work with IVC's new Mini Lighting Laboratory to develop artistic ideas and share them with class. In addition students learn all of ways professional lighting designers document their work and communicate with the other members of the production team.
