Well fans, the new game plan against the Vikes is a simple one; call it heads, take the kickoff, and score first. That looks to be about the only way to beat the Purple, but a pretty reliable one. This year's defense is the same outfit as always, fairly stout against the run, but unable to mount any significant pass rush nor cover opposing receivers short, medium, or long. It can't get off the field after third down, and always allows the opposition back in the game after the offense delivers what should be a knockout blow. It could be argued that both Houston and New Orleans would have beaten the Vikes if they hadn't wasted time early on trying to establish a running game. A team that must pass for 600 yards and six TDs has to start early.
Despite the Vikes continued ineptitude on defense, the suspense level Sunday against the Saints never got unbearable, because the Purple offense was simply unstoppable. Mewelde Moore seems, if anything, more effective than either Bennett or Smith, although it could be that the Vikes offensive line has gotten a step bigger and faster; it will be wonderful to see what the latter two will do when it's their chance. After the game down in Houston, you had to wonder if Nat Dorsey and the stand-in tight ends were going to be able to hold up the right end of the offensive line; Sunday, it didn't seem that they missed a beat. The Vikes offense was stopped mainly by an interception and a bad snap from center. Morten Andersen could be a weakness as a field goal kicker, but so far we don't even know.
The Vikes are 4-1, and there could be good news. The optimistic observer would report that the Vikes are applying greater pressure on the opposing passer and could well have blown out both Houston and New Orleans with a few breaks in their favor; in any case they won both games on the road despite encountering a great deal of adversity. If their defense improves just a half-step, they will be able to hold most opponents to about 20 points, ensuring a Vikes win almost always. The Purple has good, young athletic talent on both the defensive line and at linebacker; these guys should improve fast. If they do, high hopes for the Purple are justified. On the other hand, the heavy hand of destiny seems to lay on this team's defense, and I wouldn't bet a lot that they can escape it.
The Vikes face the Titans and Giants at home the following Sundays, games they should be able to record on the left side of their record, making them 6-1 before they have to head down to Indianapolis for a Monday night game in which they will probably be underdogs. 6-2 heading into Lambeau Field on November 14 would be a very good position for the Purple.
But beware. Bad defenses can generate the worst sort of nightmarish surprises, as Gopher football fans are so painfully aware. Boooo!

Public Thanked For Help In Swift Murder Arrest

The public did what cops always urge them to do—and thereby helped police arrest an alleged killer within hours of a crime.
That was the message Tuesday from top cops.
"It was unprecedented how the community responded," Assistant Police Chief Archie Generoso said at a 3:40 p.m. press conference at police headquarters, thanking the public. "It showed what's possible."
Generoso (pictured at the scene Monday night with Assistant Chief Luiz Casanova, at right) was referring to the arrest of an 18-year-old man for allegedly shooting 58-year-old Donald Bradley to death behind a Burger King at 7:21 p.m. Monday. Because so many people came forward to help the cops—witnesses at the scene, phone callers, family members—the police were able to act fast and solve the case, he said. (Read a detailed account of the evening here.)
Generoso was also referring to the years-long quest by police to convince members of the public to come forward with information about crimes, to trust the cops. He suggested that the latest instance might represent the turning of a corner.
"People cooperated with us, I would like to believe, because of the way we're doing business now in the city," Generoso said.
Three teens had called Bradley Monday night to ask for a ride across town to Fair Haven. Bradley regularly gave them rides for money, according to police.
They stopped by the drive-thru at Burger King. Bradley then recognized an 18-year-old in the car as someone with whom he had had a previous argument, according to police. He wanted the teen to leave. An argument ensued. It ended up outside the car, with the 18-year-old firing four or five bullets, including a deadly blow to the chest, police said.
The teens then fled.
When police arrived, patrol officers quickly sealed off the scene—and spoke to witnesses who offered crucial information: that two of the teens had run to a house around the corner on Orchard. So officers quickly surrounded that building and sealed it off.
Other members of the public provided information about the shooting and about the teens. An uncle and father of one of the teens, and the grandmother of another, cooperated with police at the scene. They gave cops information that SWAT negotiator David Hartman used as he spoke with the teens via bullhorn.
Generoso and Chief Dean Esserman Tuesday repeatedly praised the work of various cops, as well: the patrol officers who acted fast, the detectives who developed evidence fast, the cops who used "remarkable restraint," in Esserman's words, by waiting hours to convince the teens to come out peacefully rather than storming the house.
And several cops, including victim-services Officer Jillian Knox, succeeded at the scene in consoling upset family members and keeping the tense scene calm.
Eventually the two teens emerged from the house and surrendered. Police charged one of them, an 18-year-old, with murder and interfering with police. He made an appearance Tuesday afternoon in the state Superior Court on Elm Street, where his case was transferred to the Church Street court and continued until Aug. 7.
The other teen who had been in the house, a 16-year-old, was charged with interfering.
And the third man who had been present in the car turned himself in for questioning shortly before Tuesday afternoon's press conference. He had not fled to the house with the other two teens Monday night. Generoso said at this point he's being considered a witness, not an offender.
After the teens' surrender, police obtained a warrant to search the house on Orchard. They recovered a .38-caliber Colt revolver used in the murder, according to Generoso. He said police hadn't yet determined if the 18-year-old legally owned the weapon.

The article claims Generoso said police were unsure if the 18 year old arrested for the murder legally owned the Colt handgun.
If he is 18 years old, he can not purchase a handgun, nor can he be in possession of a handgun; you must be 21 years old to obtain a Pistol Permit in Connecticut.
He was charged with Murder, which was committed with a handgun. He should be additionally charged with Possession/Carrying a Pistol w/o a Permit, and/or Criminal Use of a Firearm. The Murder charge does not include the firearm possession.

I, too, praise the police for their handling of this incident.
I wish the "No Snitching" creedo of the inner city would be exposed for what it is: Gangster thugs, drug dealers, pimps, and violent murderers threaten anyone from the neighborhood who 'snitches' or shines light on illegal, criminal behavior. I feel for honest residents of the inner city- they are distrustful of police (and rightly so, oftentimes) and are also intimidated by the thugs in their neighborhoods.
What will it take for the honest people living in the inner cities to realize that it is this 'No Snitching' which is ruining their neighborhoods and killing their own people (by people, I mean relatives, friends, and neighbors)?
On a side note: I am sure the detectives have figured this out, but this seems like a set-up all the way. The three teens called the victim regularly for 'rides to Fair Haven?'
If the teen who shot the victim knew he was coming to pick them up, does that not show pre-meditation? And, he just happened to have a gun on him at the time?
It does not make sense that an 18 year old would shoot someone just because he held a grudge from a previous encounter, and no longer wanted to drive him & his friends across town. This is speculation, but it seems logical from the information provided in the story that something does not add up.
Definitely a sad, unnecessary killing.

These reviews are part of New Times' continuing coverage of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
Fling — Formerly called Lie To Me, this is one of those loathsome movies full of improbably beautiful young people in improbably beautiful apartments having improbable amounts of sex with other improbably beautiful young people. The premise — "hot couple in open relationship experience difficulties when they begin shagging people hotter than their partners" — reeks of "high concept" marketeering. But the movie's a lot better than that. Thank a stable of combustible actors, especially Courtney Ford and Steve Sandvoss, who's found both dramatic wisdom and grit since he played a closeted gay Mormon in Latter Days. These guys know, maybe from experience, the volatility of sex, youth, and utter amorality, and every frame of Fling is drenched in danger and desire. Mostly desire, at first. Our unheroes float from one artsy party to another (all their parties are artsy: Sandvoss' character is a novelist and all of his friends are smart and literary, though their conversations never linger over anything so unsexy as literature), fucking and drinking and fucking again. Director John Stuart Muller actually makes you think that these solipsistic dick monkeys might somehow do all right for themselves: unfettered hedonism looks like fun. They really seem to know what they're talking about when they explain how passé jealousy really is and how love cannot be confined by anything so medieval as monogamy. But Muller has a card up his sleeve: human nature. And when human nature comes into play, all the intellectual abstractions become merely so many pretty words. Then Fling turns ugly, and you realize that the filmmakers' intentions were never to overwhelm us with sex, but to seduce us with it, and then take us someplace else. (Friday, November 7, 9 p.m., Cinema Paradiso, 97 minutes) Brandon K. Thorp
Click below to see a trailer of FlingThe Map Reader — "You can go anywhere with a map," says the teenage protagonist of this coming-of-age story. "You can do anything if you know something about a place." Well, maybe. The would-be cartographer and moody title character is Michael (nicely underplayed by Jordan Selwyn), a small town New Zealander with not a lot going for him. His dad, a pilot, split years ago, and his boozy mom (Rebecca Gibney, who's also one of the producers) means well but is mostly ineffectual. Michael appears to have a mild crush on a gal pal (Mikaila Hutchison) but can no more bring himself to act on it than he can embark on the journeys teasingly promised by his vast collection of maps. He's in a rut, and as a few flashbacks to him as a relentlessly serious little boy demonstrate, this is not a new development. An American version of this story might find Michael on a hilarious quest to lose his virginity; here, getting laid for the first time is merely a pleasant diversion that occurs unexpectedly while the kid is getting acquainted with a bubbly young blind woman (Bonnie Soper, who brings to mind Gwyneth Paltrow). Harold Brodie, who wrote, directed, and edited, has a nice feel for atmosphere, and although a few times he comes close to squandering the good will he generates, he makes Michael appealing enough to carry the ever-so-slight material through to its satisfying, if not entirely unexpected, conclusion. (Saturday, November 8, 3 p.m., Cinema Paradiso, 90 minutes.) Michael Mills
Click below to see a trailer of The Map ReaderI Do & I Don't — The best thing about I Do & I Don't is Jane Lynch. She plays Nora Stelmack, the wife of Dick Stelmack (Matt Servito), and their union could be the basis of a fine film all its own. In I Do & I Don't, however, they are supporting characters in a tale of a far less interesting couple: two soon-to-be-marrieds directed by the Catholic church to take "marriage counseling" from the Stelmacks in preparation for their nuptials. That other couple, played by Bryan Callen and Alexie Gilmore, has no spark, no fire. They are perennial straight-people for the dysfunctional Stelmacks, and their allegedly "outrageous" antics are tame and predictable. Try not to laugh as Callen's character, the unlucky Bob Jacobs, slams his car into his would-be mother-in-law's Mercedes, or spills wine all over her expensive pantsuit. It's Meet The Parents, minus the inspiration. The Stelmacks, though — they are an artful study in the grotesque. Dick takes weekly trips to a doctor to have his prostate "milked." In a vacuum, a detail like that would be merely repellent. Surround it with other, equally repellent details, however, and it becomes funny: the Stelmacks' every scene is a protracted rape of propriety and good taste, and it's exhilarating. Lynch is a drunken old cougar with an overwhelming sex drive and no dignity at all. She has the eyes of a particularly resentful corpse, and comes alive only when she senses that some kind of rough, illicit sex may be in the offing. She does this so joyfully, with such verve and frequency, that by the end of the film she's succeeded in making dessication look sexy. Maybe that's not the highest goal to which a movie can aspire, but it's something. (Friday, November 7, 7:15 p.m., Cinema Paradiso, 83 minutes) Brandon K. Thorp

In January, the Boulder Daily Camera, citing unidentified jurors as well as an assistant district attorney, said the grand jury had actually voted to indict JonBenet's parents on charges of child abuse resulting in death, but the district attorney decided not to move forward with the case."We do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges," then-Boulder County District Attorney Alex Hunter said in 1999. He did not sign the indictment, according to the Daily Camera.There will be nine pages on John Ramsey and nine pages on Patsy Ramsey released this week, according to the order from Judge J. Robert Lowenbach.Just Watched2012: John Ramsey: From grief to gracereplayMore Videos ...2012: John Ramsey: From grief to grace 01:55PLAY VIDEOThe Daily Camera reported Wednesday the release was a response to a lawsuit by one of its reporters and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press seeking the unprosecuted indictment.In 2008, then-District Attorney Mary Lacy wrote a letter to Ramsey, saying that new DNA evidence had cleared him, his wife and son. John Ramsey's attorney had written a letter last week to District Attorney Stan Garrett, requesting the documents be kept secret."Public release of the allegations of an unprosecuted indictment only serves to further defame (John Ramsey) and his late wife Patricia Ramsey," wrote Harold Haddon.But Lowenbach said state law requires official actions by the grand jury to be released.Ramseys' attorney: Grand jury 'likely confused' about JonBenet"The court is sympathetic to the position of Mr. Ramsey but has nonetheless concluded that as an 'official action' of the grand jury, the 'indictment' .... must be released," he wrote.Lowenbach denied Haddon's request to release all documents, saying it would set a precedent and hinder future grand juries from performing their jobs.On December 26, 1996, Patsy Ramsey said she discovered a three-page ransom note in her Boulder home. Police came and, later that day, found JonBenet's beaten and strangled body in the family's basement.The parents insisted an intruder killed their 6-year-old pageant queen, but no one was caught and no description was given.In time, the focus of Boulder police turned to the parents.Investigators didn't find any sign of forced entry. A paintbrush from her mother's hobby kit was used to tighten the rope that choked JonBenet. And the alleged ransom note was written from paper inside the house and referenced little-known details about the family's past and its finances.Despite the suspicions, the Ramseys were never named as suspects. But they were a focus of the grand jury, which first convened in September 1998.They heard from dozens of witnesses, considered 30,000 pieces of evidence.The district attorney's office, then led by Lacy, took over the case from Boulder police in 2002. Patsy Ramsey died from ovarian cancer in 2006 at the age of 49.

You are going really obscure, even for Australian cars!
This is a Holden Brougham, I think an HG model from about 1970-71. However there is something about the grille which looks not quite right so I wonder if it is an overseas market export. The model script would normally be on the lip of the bonnet, not on the grille.
The Brougham was essentially a Holden Premier, with a longer boot, but the body and nose was bog standard Holden fare. It was not a sales success and died after three years, to be replaced by the long wheelbase Holden Statesman.

Daly City, Calif. – Steve Molinelli has already won one USGA championship and played a minor role in another, so after Casie Cathrea posted a 6-and-4 third-round victory Thursday afternoon at the 64th U.S. Girls' Junior, the San Francisco resident was halfway to yet another title.
Molinelli, who is serving as Cathrea's caddie this week at Lake Merced Golf Club, has become sort of a local legend.
The longtime member at The Olympic Club caddied for Colt Knost when he claimed the 2007 U.S. Amateur at Olympic. In 1981 as a 15-year-old, he caddied in a U.S. Amateur qualifier for Nathaniel Crosby, who later won the championship at The Olympic Club with Joe B. Ross on his bag.
"I don't think he trusted my Coke-bottle glasses," said Molinelli, who runs his own business. "It was still a thrill to have a little teeny spoke in the wheel."
Molinelli, 46, didn't work the 1998 U.S. Open at Olympic, but caddied for Ryo Ishikawa last month. He hooked up with the Japanese star, who missed the cut, a day before Knost officially landed a spot in the field as an alternate. "It would have been nice to do back to back with Colt," said Molinelli, who kept his promise to Ishikawa. "It just didn't work out that way."
Knost, for the record, also failed to play the weekend.
A few weeks ago, Molinelli was contacted by Lake Merced member and former USGA Executive Committee member Merton Goode. Cathrea needed a caddie for the Girls' Junior and he knew just the man. A three-time match-play club champion at The Olympic Club – he's also won two stroke-play titles – Molinelli certainly understands the game and a caddie's responsibility. As a side note, it was Goode who hooked Molinelli up with his wife, Suzanne, a medical sales rep who deals with anesthesiologists. Goode purchased one of Suzanne's products and later set Steve up on a date.
"He's one of the nicest guys on the planet," said Molinelli. "I couldn't say no and one thing led to another."
He couldn't say no to Cathrea, either. The two instantly hit it off on the golf course during practice rounds. Outside of Monday's 82, the 16-year-old from nearby Livermore has been dialed in at Lake Merced, shooting a championship-best 66 in Tuesday's final stroke-play qualifying round.
She cruised to a 5-and-3 first-round win over Samantha Wagner and defeated 2008 runner-up Karen Chung, 2 and 1, Thursday morning.
"He's good. I like him," said Cathrea. "I am confident with my irons when he's on the bag. I'm happy."
Added Molinelli: "She's playing with a lot of authority right now. Somebody is going to have to shoot under par to beat her. She hasn't really gotten hot with the putter yet so I like her chances."
Surprise Quarterfinalist
Kelli Murphy might be the least known of the eight quarterfinalists, and so is her hometown. Elgin, S.C., is 18 miles northeast of the state capitol of Columbia, and Murphy described it as a "one-stoplight town."
There are no fast-food chains or major department stores.
One has to travel to nearby Lugoff for a McDonald's or Taco Bell, she said. In fact, her high school combines Elgin and Lugoff.
But the 16-year-old junior-to-be is certainly becoming a big name at Lake Merced. She qualified in the 45th position for match play, shooting 13-over 157, but has managed to survive three matches. She beat Canada's Jisoo Keel, a 2012 U.S. Women's Open qualifier, 2 and 1 on Thursday morning and then ousted Shawn Rennegarbe, of Addieville, Ill., in the round of 16.
"I was just happy to make the cut," said Murphy.
Murphy does have positive experiences from match play. She won the Carolinas Golf Association Junior Match Play last year and lost in the finals this year to Girls' Junior participant Lucia Polo.
"I really enjoy the match-play format," said Murphy. "There's no score to hold you back. You can just go for everything, and if you have a bad hole, you just let it go."
Moving On
Ashlan Ramsey, 16, of Milledgeville, Ga., won't be playing in a second USGA final this week after being eliminated by defending champion Ariya Jutanugarn, 8 and 6, in the third round. But Ramsey, the 2012 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links runner-up, took away some positives, despite the lopsided result.
"A lot of positives," she said. "I still have work to do. It was a good week overall. I just [need] to get my ball-striking more consistent."
Ramsey will be in next month's U.S. Women's Amateur at The Country Club in Cleveland.
"Whenever I walk past the scoreboard, I bet she has six or seven birdies … I'm like, what? Is she playing the same game as me? That kind of shows that she is a really good player." – World No. 1 Lydia Ko on medalist, defending champion and World No. 2 Ariya Jutanugarn.

This, yet another update in a beating case that this blogger calls an American Tragedy. An arrest has been made in the McDonald's Baltimore County Beating of Chrissy Lee Polis. A girl by the name of Teonna Monae Brown was taken into custody and charged with first - and second - degree assault. And investigators are still, as of this writing, working to determine if Brown should be convicted of a hate crime.
Frankly, now that Chrissy Lee Polis has talked to the media, it does look clearly like a hate crime from this space and because she's transexual. (I also have to add that, in an earlier blog post, I used the term "tranny," but while it was taken by some as derogatory, it was not used that way or intended to be; the term was learned by this blogger by someone who is herself transexual - part of the wonderful diversity of San Francisco Bay Area life. Regardless of the term, what happened to Chrissy Lee Polis on April 18th is at issue, and that was completely wrong.)
The question in all of this is "Where are Teonna Monae Brown's parents?" According to reports, Brown is but 14 years old. She's obviously a juvenile. Her parents should shoulder some blame for her actions.
McDonald's Is At Fault
I totally disagree with the people who say McDonald's Restaurant is not at fault, and Chrissy Lee Polis herself, who said "They stood there - six McDonald's employees - and all did nothing." So, since they work for McDonald's Corporation, the firm has to pay the price. Moreover, Ms. Polis herself wants to sue McDonald's.
So those who say that McDonald's should not be at fault - tell that to Chrissy Lee Polis.
There's a lot of ugliness coming from this, from people looking to blame anyone black, to people making awful comments on YouTube about Chrissy Lee Polis herself, to... Well, it goes on.
Everyone needs to take a deep breath and stop and think. Because there's little of that, that has been done here thus far.
As I've said before, and will say again, a lot of teenagers act like this in 2011 - not just black teenagers. Moreover, a lot of the profiles of commenters on YouTube.com report them to be between 17 to 28 years old - just around the same age range as the girls involved in the Chrissy Lee Polis beating, from attacker to victim. And the majority of commenters are typing pretty vile stuff. But it's come to the point where there comments are countered by those from more reasoned minds.
Finally, anyone who claims this blogger can't deal with what happened and call society for what it is, doesn't read my stuff: Oakland uptown beating shows young black male problem.
So cut the crap - please.
Stay tuned.

100.0% of Users Would Recommend this Digital Camera
0.0% of Users Would Not Recommend this Digital Camera
PROS: Sturdy construction (quite heavy). Excellent quality pics. Pocket size and handy. Image stabilizer. Movie function (though not 1080p). Above average shutter speed.
CONS: A bit expensive. Plastic holder of battery broke after it got bumped to my car's door (but I bought the warranty :=))
PROS: Excellent pictures and and the large LCD screen is crystal clear. load up time is significantly faster than the popular Sony cameras. It's a point and shoot, not load and wait then shoot. The cannon was fast in starting up and was able to point and shoot a picture within 2 seconds. A lot of useful features and some not so useful like the color replacements and enhancements but that might be good for the creative shooter. I normally shoot with a digital SLR and picked this one up for my wife. Actually, I have been using this camera because it was fast and easy while quickly producing excellent results! The printer I am using is the new Epson DASH printer because it produces excellent results and can easily print right formt eh camera using PictBridge.
CONS: Easy to get fingers in the way of the flash and the zoom button may take some while to get used to due to location. Produces a quite a bit of Red-Eye so be forewarned. I was surprised the flash is not a TTL (through the lens) as the flash can saturate pictures especially indoor shots. Would have been nice if the flash could have rotated upward to the ceiling.
PROS: Very good quality of pictures. Comparable to higher prices Sony cams such as T100, but with better zoom. Strong metal case protects in case of a fall. Although there aren't tons of menus and options since it is a point and shoot cam, there is everything am amateur or someone who doesn't need to bother with all of the options. You get cool effects which can really make the look of a picture cool. The 8 mg pxl probably helps a lot since the picture quality looks better than on the Powershot 750 and other similar models. Price drop makes this an excellent buy.
CONS: Was $400 when I got it. Now there's no reason not to get it.
PROS: I started with purchasing the 12MP by Kodak and found it too difficult (I'm a novice at all the extra stuff). Then a little plastic thingy fell off so I returned it and did some research. Found this site and was sold on the Canon 850 IS but was also considering the 900. Love it, I am getting 19 of 20 good pictures. Not disappointed in 8MP vs the 12MP. I did see a slight improvement in the 12MP but I was only getting 1 of 10 shots working for me.
CONS: What's missing. I really like to manually zoom in and out. Maybe I am overlooking something but only thing I find is you have to go into the menu each time and pick from 1 of three setings. I liked my old Kodak DX6340 that you had the button on outside and you zoomed in and out with ease. Anyone know a better way on this 850 IS would appreciate the feedback. I've only had the camera 24 hours....
PROS: I have brought this camera a few days ago, have been playing with it for many hours and have test most of it's features. To sum up my experience, I am impressed by the amazingly rich set of easy to use features, in particularly its manual option where you can choose the shatter speed, ISO level, color level etc... It is quality builted with a very solid look and feel. But the most important aspect is it has very excellent image quality with sharp details and accurate colors,The video quality is crisp and smooth for a still camera standard. Either if you an ametuer or an ethueistest, you will find something in it to keep you interested.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2009) |
Tomotherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which the radiation is delivered slice-by-slice (hence the use of the Greek prefix tomo-, which means "slice"). This method of delivery differs from other forms of external beam radiation therapy in which the entire tumor volume is irradiated at one time.
The first implementation of tomotherapy was the Corvus system developed by Nomos Corporation, with the first patient treated in April, 1994.[1] This was the first commercial system for planning and delivering intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The original system, designed solely for use in the brain, incorporated a rigid skull-based fixation system to prevent patient motion between the delivery of each slice of radiation. But some users[who?] eschewed the fixation system and applied the technique to tumors in many different parts of the body.
Tomotherapy, or Helical Tomotherapy, is a form of computed tomography (CT) guided IMRT or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, which is a relatively new type of radiation therapy delivery system. The system was developed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison by professor Thomas Rockwell Mackie, Ph.D. and Paul Reckwerdt. A small megavoltage x-ray source was mounted in a similar fashion to a CT x-ray source, and the geometry provided the opportunity to provide CT images of the body in the treatment setup position. Although original plans were to include kilovoltage CT imaging, current models use megavoltage energies. With this combination, the unit was one of the first devices capable of providing modern image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). The first patients were treated in 2002, at the University of Wisconsin under the guidance of Professor Minesh Mehta, M.D., under the auspices of an NIH-funded Program Project Grant.
In general, radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) has developed with a strong reliance on homogeneity of dose throughout the tumor. Tomotherapy embodies the sequential delivery of radiation to different parts of the tumor which raises two important issues. First, this method is known as "field matching" and brings with it the possibility of a less-than-perfect match between two adjacent fields with a resultant hot and/or cold spot within the tumor. The second issue is that if the patient or tumor moves during this sequential delivery, then again, a hot or cold spot will result. The first problem can be overcome, or at least minimized, by careful construction of the beam delivery system. The second requires close attention to the position of the target throughout treatment delivery. All this can be done with during the radiation planning process which makes tomotherapy the most homogeneous radiation treatment delivery machine.
The Corvus tomotherapy system achieved great popularity because it provided a mass market solution to IMRT very early compared to other vendors' systems. Generally speaking, dose homogeneity is less in IMRT than in 3D conformal radiation therapy which may account for the relative lack of concern regarding the field matching issue.
At this time, the Hi-Art system manufactured by TomoTherapy Inc. is the primary tomotherapy device in use although there are still a number of Corvus systems being used. TomoTherapy TomoHD systems are also in use. Other radiation therapy equipment vendors have recently responded to the challenge of short treatment times coupled with a full 360 degree treatment arc by developing methods of delivering IMRT using arcs. The major difference is that these methods are implemented on standard medical linear accelerators, thereby providing for complete volumetric irradiation.
TomoTherapy "beam on" times are comparable to normal radiation therapy treatment times (about 3–5 minutes beam on time for a common prostate treatment) but do add an additional 2–3 minutes for a daily CT. The daily CT is used to precisely place the radiation beam and allows the operator to modify the treatment should the patients anatomy change due to weight loss or tumor shrinkage (adaptive radiotherapy). Lung cancer, head and neck tumors, breast cancer, prostate cancer, stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) are some examples of treatments commonly performed using TomoTherapy. While the first clinical use of TomoTherapy was in 2002, at the University of Wisconsin, under the leadership of Dr. Minesh Mehta, M.D., there are now more than 300 sites across Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia.
Due to their internal shielding and small footprint, TomoTherapy Hi-Art and TomoTherapy TomoHD treatment machines are the only radiotherapy treatment machines used in relocatable radiotherapy treatment suites. Two different types of suites are available: TomoMobile developed by TomoTherapy Inc. which is a moveable truck and Pioneer, developed by UK-based Oncology Systems Limited. The latter was developed to meet the requirements of UK and European transport law requirements and is a contained unit that is placed on a concrete pad, delivering radiotherapy treatments in less than five weeks.
Institutions like Texas A&M in College Station and the University of WIsconsin - Madison, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital perform TomoTherapy treatments on cats and dogs.[2] A typical treatment can last between 10 and 20 sessions. Many patients experience radiation burns as a side effect.

I'll apologize up front as I'm a finance guy by trade so typically anything motor or electronic related usually trips me up. I'm slowly learning though.
I understand how KV and and cell count and prop size all work together. But what's the difference between the Motrofly 4325 and 5320. Assuming they both have the same KV rating why would you chose one over the other? Also... I suck at soldering so I avoid it like the plague. That's the main reason I use APP's. So if I want to use those with a BEC setup what's the best way? Would I just crimp the BEC and ESC wires together into the same APP connector?? |
Oct 12, 2012, 11:28 PM | |
Also have the velox with a 4325 310kv set up on 8s with a 19x8 prop. The slick is setup with the 5320 300kv motor on 8s with a 19x8 prop. The velox is lighter but the slick will out pull the velox and the slick pulls slightly less wattage. Love the efficiency. It does come at a price and not only $$$ it weighs 4 ounces more. The slick handles that 4 ounces just fine though.
Oct 12, 2012, 11:29 PM | |
Power measured how exactly? Watts or Amps or what? Does this just mean that a larger motor can handle a larger prop assuming the same battery setup (cell count) and assuming the same or similar KV rating?? So a 5320-300 could swing a 20 inch prop on 8s while a 4325-300 could only swing a 19 inch prop? Just using made up figures to make sure I understand...

Oct 12, 2012, 11:47 PM | |
Watts and amps mean nothing without rpm data. With rpm data you can tell what motor is putting the most of its power to the prop instead of wasting it in heat. Efficiency is a big factor.
My hacker a50-12l pulled more watts than my 4325 with the same 18x8 prop but my 4325 put more power to the prop. So it was stronger and because it was more efficient it didn't get as hot as the hacker. |

With the tank empty and the cg set at 155mm from leading edge the plane is still nose heavy. I dont get how its tail heavy, tucking to gear and bobbing on landing, but the cg shows to be nose heavy |

Doctors at the local health clinic in Borda do Campo, a town of 30,000 in southern Brazil, were intrigued when a number of children who used to show up frequently with health problems related to poverty and malnutrition stopped coming. Wondering why they were seeing fewer and fewer of these cases, the doctors asked the head of the clinic what might be the reason.
"It was simply that these children were starting to eat better," says Nélia Maria Cruz, the clinic's chief. "We used to see lots of cases of malnutrition, but they soon diminished, and the children's immunity increased, reducing infections and other illnesses that were common in this region."
The staff at the health clinic were not the only ones to notice the difference. At the local school, teachers observed that students seemed to be gaining weight.
"The mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack used to be a relief for them. Many had a second helping knowing it might be their only meal that day. That is no longer the case," says one teacher.
The children of Borda do Campo, in the São José dos Pinhais municipality of Paraná state, are among thousands who have benefited from Fome Zero ("Zero Hunger"), a national effort to eliminate hunger in Brazil. Launched by President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva in January 2003, the ambitious program addresses number 1 of the Millennium Development Goals, "Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger" and is one of the government's highest priorities.
The program's formula is simple: Give each Brazilian the opportunity to have at least three meals a day. That might not seem like such a bold challenge, except that approximately a quarter of Brazil's 170 million people live below the poverty line. To meet the immediate needs of everyone who goes hungry in the country, the government would have to provide emergency help to 11 million families, according to official estimates. At the same time, the effort must include long-term actions to enable the population to manage on its own, so that in the future every family is able to buy its own food.
"We have two types of policy," says José Baccarin, Brazil's national secretary of food security and the person responsible for Fome Zero within the recently created Ministry of Social Development. "One is a policy with more immediate effects that aims to increase access to nourishment for those living below the poverty line. Then there are longer-term, structural policies."
Food nowOne of the "emergency" programs already in place targets the children of Borda do Campo, a district that grew rapidly when the French automobile firm Renault established a large factory complex there. The local Catholic Church, which manages the program, set up eight community kitchens to serve the town's residents. According to church figures, approximately 1,500 children have lunch in the kitchens each day.
"Actually, we started the community kitchen program even before Fome Zero," notes Father José Aparecido Pinto, a Dominican priest who has been attending to local parishioners' needs for six years. He says help from the government came in the form of food donations, which allow the kitchens to provide children with a daily meal on a regular basis. Today the government also provides the church with $65,000 annually in the understanding that it will continue to operate the program uninterrupted.
The community kitchens depend on support from the local community as well. The kitchens are housed in cementblock buildings built by the community adjacent to the parish chapels. Some are well constructed, with tile floors, and are nicely decorated. Others have bare concrete walls, unfinished wooden tables, and long benches where the children sit to eat.
Most of the volunteer food preparers are mothers who commit to help out at least once a month. Many go much more often. The menu is varied, with something different for each day of the week, and follows basic nutritional guidelines. The mothers decide among themselves who will cook, serve and clean up every day.
For many children, and in some cases whole families, the community kitchen program was a turning point in their lives. This was the case for Simone Aparecida Oliveira, a 22-year-old homemaker who has three children and is expecting a fourth. With a monthly income of only 450 reais from her husband's job as a machine operator, she had the equivalent of a dollar per person per day to buy everything her family needed. According to neighbors, all three children suffered from malnutritionuntil they began taking daily meals in the community kitchens.
Grants for familiesFome Zero's main emergency component is a monthly income transfer program for poor families, known as Bolsa Família ("Family Grant"). The program currently covers 3.8 million households and receives the largest chunk of Fome Zero resources, a total of $1.8 billion this year, according to the Ministry of Social Development. The program's goal is to reach 4.5 million families by mid-2004 and all 11 million families in need by the end of 2006, when the current presidential term ends. "On average, we transfer 72 reais [$23] monthly to each family," says Baccarin.
Bolsa Família piggybacks on existing programs that were run by the previous government, but has combined them. Before 2002, families registered locally for different types of financial aid. People could get money for keeping their children in school, or if they needed help to buy gas for cooking, or if they could not afford to feed their families. Da Silva's government consolidated these programs into one and increased coverage across the board. The result, according to the government, has been more money for each individual family.
Other emergency actions include efforts to provide access to cheap or free food. In Brazil's northeast and in northern Minas Gerais, children benefit from a milk donation program that provides 770,000 families with free milk every day. In addition to community kitchens, there are communal restaurants and food banks. The government provides basic food baskets in emergencies such as floods or other natural disasters, as well as for landless rural workers and indigenous and isolated communities. The government also has directed special efforts toward Brazil's northeast, the poorest part of the country. In interior areas where rainfall is scarce, the program is partnering with local communities to build household water tanks, so that residents do not have to travel miles to get water from the nearest river. Some 27,000 tanks were built in 2003, with 50,000 more slated to be built this year. Each holds enough water for one family and costs around $500.
Structural actionThe longer-term measures envisaged in Brazil's war against extreme poverty are many and varied, and indeed cover nearly the entire spectrum of social programs found in developing countries. The list begins with agrarian reform and includes incentives for family agriculture, a fairer social welfare system, and job creationan enduring challenge in a country where unemployment hovers at some 13 percent.
One initiative already under way is the Direct Local Purchase program, designed to prevent rural exodus by ensuring an income for small-scale farmers. The program allows communities across the country to purchase food at a reasonable price from eligible farmers. These include farmers who employ no more than two workers, who live on the land they farm and obtain at least 80 percent of their income from the land, and who receive funding from the National Family Agriculture Support Program, which provided some $1.7 billion in production incentives during this harvest year.
Farmers participating in the Direct Local Purchase program can sell up to $800 worth of produce each year to the federal government. The upper limit ensures that large-scale farmers will not be interested in competing for an allocation, and it also helps distribute the money more widely across the country. To date, the National Supply Company (CONAB) has released $25 million for next year's programenough to buy produce from some 30,000 farm families.
Food purchased through the program serves several objectives. It creates reserves and helps maintain prices, something formerly done through food purchases from large-scale producers and cooperatives. The food is also distributed through the Fome Zero program itself. For example, the food that reduced child malnutrition in Borda do Campo was purchased from farmers in the municipality of São José dos Pinhais through Fome Zero. Every two weeks, qualified producers are invited to deliver their products to the community kitchens. All in all, about 80 farm families sell their produce this way.
"This is a structural program that is already reaping immediate results," says Sílvio Porto, director of logistics and business management for CONAB. He cites as an example the direct purchase program in the state of Acre, in Brazil's Amazon region. There, CONAB bought the entire cashew nut harvest of 1,300 families for $1.2 million. The result was an increase in family income. Producers used to sell a tin of cashews for about $1.60. With a buyer the size of the government, producers had to increase what they paid to pickers to maintain supply. At the peak of the harvest, the price reached $5 a tin.
"There were cases of families who had left who then returned to the reserve to produce cashew nuts again, to guarantee themselves a paying job," says Porto.
The main challenge facing the program now is to increase the resources available for purchases. The program is currently expecting an additional $75 million, but CONAB has requested a funding increase of $1 billion reais, or $327 million, by 2005. A second challenge is to get farmers to diversify their production.
"In 90 percent of the cases, all they manage to produce is corn and beans," says André Michelato, manager of the Paraná Fome Zero program, an initiative of the state of Paraná. "If they were certain they could sell their production, they could invest more, grow other kinds of vegetables, and augment their earnings with the proceeds."
Urgent needMost of the criticism that has been leveled at the government's poverty-reduction efforts has to do with the pace of its structural programs. Some say the government should invest less in emergency actions and more in long-term efforts. But there are a number of obstacles. One is the country's obligation to set aside money to pay off foreign debt. Under an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, Brazil must earmark 4.25 percent of its gross domestic product to service its debt. The remainder is always vigorously disputed among the country's ministries.
Yet the urgency of speeding up the long-term programs is recognized even within the National Food Security Council, a government-commissioned consultative body that oversees the Fome Zero program.
"We have to see how we can move ahead faster," says Francisco Menezes, council president. "Those structural measures have been delayed because the country is embroiled in a complex situation. Fome Zero is a very important step, but it has to be complemented."
Few would argue that Fome Zero is not an admirable effort, and some say the program's achievements already go well beyond the extra mouths now being fed.
"I consider Fome Zero to be an important instrument for the Brazilian government to reduce hunger and misery in Brazil," says Zilda Arns, president of Pastoral da Criança, one of Brazil's bestknown nongovernmental organizations, which works to improve the lives of children from low-income families. "This is one of the goals our country committed itself to when we signed the U.N. Millennium Declaration. Fome Zero has helped mobilize people to discuss and to do something about this problem. With this national effort, the subject of hunger has won the streets, has gone to important sectors of societysuch as the press, universities and big summits. And most important, it has raised expectations in the poorest communities."
For Menezes, the most important thing now is for the country to take advantage of the opportunities created by Fome Zero, expanding its action into other areas. He considers agrarian reform, illiteracy reduction, and an increase in health investment to be the most critical areas.
"Perhaps it will not be possible to eradicate hunger entirely, since there are factors beyond our control," he says. "There will always be someone, somewhere, in a difficult situation. But we are certain that it will be possible to drastically reduce the problem in a relatively short time."
Will Brazil be able to meet the 2015 goal of reducing hunger by half? Fome Zero's program managers have no doubts. Their president's goal is even more ambitious: to guarantee that every Brazilian has at least three meals a day by 2006.

Upward Bound summer at UVa-Wise
Upward Bound completed its 44th summer on the campus of The University of Virginia's College at Wise.
Students attended academic classes to prepare them for Virginia's Standards of Learning and other classes for the upcoming school year. The Upward Bound theme this summer was "The Clue to your Success!"
Upward Bound at UVa-Wise is a pre-college program serving low income and/or first-generation high school students from five schools in the counties of Wise and Dickenson. The program serves 70 students with the grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is free to the students and they receive a stipend for participation.
Fifteen bridge students, those who graduated from high school in the spring and are enrolled in college in the fall, were enrolled in two summer classes for college credit.
All students participated in a work-study program in the afternoon. The students either worked in various offices on or off campus, participated in a photojournalism class to produce the summer magazine or in a career development class. The classes featured guest speakers, mock interviews, research papers, and field trips to various job sites, including the Wise County Courthouse, Lonesome Pine Regional Library, Norton Press-Coalfield Progress, First Bank and Trust, Thompson + Litton, Lonesome Pine Airport and Sykes. They also participated in community service projects at Kid's Central, UVa-Wise and Heritage Hall.
Upward Bound students participated in several activities on and off campus, including trips to the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair, Barter Theatre, East Tennessee State University, Cooper's Gem Mine, Appalachian Caverns, Bristol Motor Dragway and the Grey Fossil Museum. The students also enjoyed many activities on campus. The summer session concluded with the annual Parents' & Awards Night.
The students visited Chicago for the popular end of summer trip. Visiting the Brookfield Zoo, Gino's East Pizza, Skydeck, Water Tower Place, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, Museum of Science and Industry and a concert by the Blue Man Group were among the highlights of the Chicago excursion.
Students who participated in the summer program included:

Swim fins are a great way to target your leg muscles in the pool. They help to increase your kick strength, thus making you faster on race day. The length of the fin blade determines the speed at which you are able to kick through the water. The shorter the blade, the faster kick cadence you will be able to do. The longer the fin the more resistance and propulsion in the water. Medium to short blade fins are ideal for swim workouts as they provide you with plenty of resistance while allowing you to maintain a similar cadence to your normal kick, building muscle without putting too much stress on your ankles. Triathlete Sports offers a nice selection of swim fins that will ramp up your swim workouts without robbing your wallet.

Spoke Calculator
Details on the fields:
Hub Motor:
The Crystalyte 400 series hub motors come on two flavours. The original design (400F in our drop down) used a steel flange that was symmetric about the hub. When Crystalyte modified their rear hub motor design to use an offset flange pattern to reduce dishing, they also increased the flange size somewhat, as reflected in the 400R option. Older rear wheels without the offset flange should use the 400F.
The dimensions of the Nine Continent motor are fairly consistent across a range of different manufacturers that use a 205mm diameter rotor standard, including the newer Crystalyte HS motor series.
Cross Pattern:
The vast majority of hub motors are laced with single cross, which is more than sufficient. Sometimes larger 700c wheels are done in a double cross pattern. For 20" wheels, it is common practice to do a radial lacing pattern as the sharp angles that result at the nipple with single cross can make the wheel challenging to build.
Rim ERD:
If you are using a 3rd party rim, then you will need to look up or measure the effective rim diameter in order to get the right sized spokes for that rim. There is no "standard" ERD for each size. We have included the measured ERD for the stock rims that are included with the eZee, Crystalyte, and Nine Continent kits. The Crystalyte rim is 'flat', not an aero-style rim, and so would most closely match the majority of single walled or similarly shaped 3rd party rims.
For all around simplicity, the spoke length calculation is done assuming that the rim is centered on the hub. For rear wheels that require dishing (ex, Nine Continent and eZee, but not Crystalyte) then you can simply increase the left side spokes by 1mm, and decrease the right hand spokes by 1mm, and the result will be as good as necessary.
Spoke Count:
Virtually all hub motors use 36 holes so the is is the default in all cases. The exception is the Crystalyte 16" motors, which have a 28 hole flange. Most rims at bicycles stores are for 32 spokes, so be sure if you are using a 3rd party rim to verify that it has 36 holes.
Wheel building:
There are many good print and online references for lacing bicycle wheels. Many will defer to Sheldon Brown, Brandt's Bicycle Wheel Book, and others. However, a lot of the points and details with a conventional bicycle hubs don't necessarily apply to hub motors with their much larger flange diameter. For more information on wheel building please see our wheel building page. Copyright by Justin Lemire-Elmore

I am an unsigned artist and music addict that enjoys nothing more than making good music. I have done songs with people like Hi-Rez 3 4 Tha Stripes and others. I work with a recording studio out of Boston Ma, On the other side of me I am a college student, that earned every single thing I have. I grew up under poverty, neglect and doubt. I turned it into what people said I could never do. Now people say that making a life out of music is far out of my range. Well, guess what I am going to try to do.
