When you are out sweating on the court, field, or track, the last thing you want are heavy shorts that only serve to trap in body heat, making you sweatier or hotter. Under Armor Microshorts will nip that problem in the bud. They are lightweight and utilize a one-of-a kind moisture wicking system that keeps you dry and cool in the heat of your athletic performance. They are also ultra-stretchy, so you can be sure that they will allow you to move and grove in any way you need. They are long enough to cover your pasty thighs (10 inch inseam) and have pockets to hold your stuff; basically they cover all the bases. They're the perfect short for the man on the move.

NIFA Update, from the Office of the Director, is a biweekly newsletter for research, education, and extension partners at land-grant universities and other cooperating institutions.
In This Issue
NIFA Retirees
Ralph Otto, NIFA Deputy Director of Food and Community Resources, retired on January 3 after more than 36 years of federal service. His extensive knowledge of and experience with the federal government and the agency's partners will be greatly missed. He is looking forward to having more time to devote to traveling, fishing, gardening, and his family.
We are initiating the process to fill this mission critical, leadership position. While we are recruiting, Michel Desbois, the NIFA assistant director for the Office of Information Technology (OIT) will serve as the acting deputy director of Food and Community Resources. Desbois joined NIFA in 2002 as the Director of Applications and in 2006 was appointed as Assistant Director for OI and the agency's Chief Information Officer. He has a B.S. from Virginia Tech in agricultural engineering and an M.S. in information systems from George Mason University. Desbois is located in Room 4249 of the Waterfront Centre and can be reached at 202-720-9278.
Other NIFA Retirees include:
Sheely Leaving for University of Rhode Island
NIFA Assistant Director for the Institute of Food Production and Sustainability Dr. Deborah Sheely is leaving after 16 years with NIFA/CSREES and will join the University of Rhode Island, effective February 8. She will serve as the associate director of the Rhode Island Cooperative Extension in the College of the Environment and Life Sciences, Kingston, RI. Deborah has provided outstanding leadership and sustained commitment to excellence. She has had a tremendous positive impact on the programs and the people she has worked with. She has made a real difference and will be missed. Several of the Division Directors will rotate in an interim capacity while NIFA recruits to fill the position. Her last day was January 17.
Hoffman Reassigned to New Position
Dr. William "Bill" Hoffman was recently reassigned to a newly created position as NIFA's Chief of Staff. In his new role, he will support the NIFA Director; work closely with NIFA leadership to serve as a central point of contact and coordination for information requests; and strengthen and inform relationships with internal and external agencies, partners, stakeholders, and the public. He will also manage the NIFA Director's meetings and travel. Many of his current duties will be reassigned; he will retain some current work assignments that are closely aligned with his new position.
Hoffman came to the agency in 2002 and has served as a specialist, national program leader, and program and analysis officer. Prior to joining NIFA, he worked for 5 years with Penn State Cooperative Extension.
He received his B.S., M.Ed., and M.B.A. in agricultural economics and rural sociology, instructional systems, and business administration, respectively— all from Penn State University. His Ph.D. in higher education administration is from George Washington University.

FACT SHEET: A Strong Nutrition Program to Help Hardworking American Families
This week, Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon and Anne Alonzo, Administrator for the Agricultural Marketing Service, joined George Jones, CEO of Bread for the City, to highlight the need for a new farm bill that adequately invests in America's nutrition safety net. Food assistance programs, along with the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, provide a critical means to provide healthy food for Americans who are working hard, but struggling to fill their plate.
Even as our economy recovers and private sector jobs are added, food security remains a serious problem across the nation. Last year, more than 49 million Americans lived in households that had difficulty putting food on the table. Visit the USDA Newsroom to read the entire fact sheet.
USDA Announces Speakers for the 2014 Agricultural Outlook Forum
WASHINGTON, January 8 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced speakers for the 2014 Agricultural Outlook Forum, "The Changing Face of Agriculture," to be held from February 20-21 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel, Arlington, Va.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will moderate two general session panels on the future of agriculture. Speaking in the first panel will be Administrator of the U. S. Agency for International Development Rajiv Shah; President of the Produce Marketing Association Cathy Burns; and Kellee James, founder and CEO of Mercaris, a market trading platform for organic agricultural commodities.
The second panel focuses on young farmers and includes Executive Director of the Farmer Veteran Coalition Michael O'Gorman; Joanna Carraway, a young Kentucky farmer who won the 2013 Top Producer Horizon Award; Greg Wegis, who operates a 17,600-acre vegetable and nut farm in California; and Interim Director of the National Young Farmers Coalition Emily Oakley. Visit the USDA Newsroom to read the full release.
USDA to Provide Additional Support to Food Banks, Soup Kitchens, and Food Pantries
WASHINGTON, January 6 − Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture's intent to purchase up to $126.4 million worth of fruit and vegetable products, to be distributed to needy families under The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The products to be purchased include tart cherries, processed apples, cranberries, fresh tomatoes, wild blueberries, and raisins. This purchase will expand efforts to provide high-quality, wholesome, domestically-produced foods to support low-income families in need of emergency food assistance.
Foods distributed through TEFAP are either purchased with funds appropriated specifically for TEFAP or are procured through USDA's market support programs. The foods are provided to states for distribution to local agencies, such as food banks. These local agencies further distribute the food to organizations, such as food pantries and soup kitchens that provide communal meals or distribute foods directly to low-income families. Visit the USDA Newsroom to read the full release.
Agriculture Secretary Reports Progress at the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade
WASHINGTON, December 23 − Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack reported progress on a number of trade issues with China as a result of the 24th U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT), which wrapped up in Beijing. A number of high-priority issues for agriculture were discussed, including access for beef and horticultural products, the approval process for biotechnology products, and import suspensions for four states related to avian influenza.
The JCCT is the highest level bilateral forum for the resolution of trade and investment issues between the United States and China. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman co-chaired the JCCT with China's Vice Premier Wang Yang. Visit the USDA Newsroom to read the full release.
USDA Brings Additional Relief to Landowners Affected by Hurricane Sandy
WASHINGTON, December 18 − Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the selection of approximately $19.2 million in funding for floodplain easements to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy and prevent future damage in flood-prone areas in the Northeast region. Vilsack also announced that another round of applications for easement funds will be accepted starting next month. Funding is provided by Congress through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Landowners in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York are voluntarily placing their land into floodplain easements, which will be restored to natural conditions and help to prevent damages from future storms. When lands are enrolled into the NRCS floodplain easements program, homes, structures, dikes, or other obstacles to water flow are removed, allowing water to move naturally across floodplains when streams and rivers rise beyond their banks. Visit the USDA Newsroom to read the full release.
Northeast Extension Directors Appoint New Executive Director
The Northeast Extension Directors (NEED) announced the 3-year, part-time appointment of Dr. Nancy Bull as its executive director effective January 1. Bull will lead the region in the creation of partnerships among the Northeast land-grant institutions, focusing on collaboration and funding opportunities for Cooperative Extension. Her expertise in strategic planning and implementation will be an asset for NEED. She previously served as the associate director of Connecticut Cooperative Extension and as the chief information officer at the University of Connecticut. Bull will continue her tenure as the interim chair and professor in the Department of Allied Health Sciences at UConn. She received her B.S. and M.Ed. from the University of Cincinnati and Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. Bull follows Linda Kay Benning, who retired as the NEED Executive Director.
UC-Davis Names Dean of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
Dr. Helene Dillard, a plant disease expert, associate dean, and head of Cooperative Extension at Cornell University, has been named the new dean of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California–Davis. Dillard, a native Californian and UC–Davis alumna, will assume leadership of the college on January 27.
Her new appointment at UC–Davis brings Dillard full circle, in many respects. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she received her B.S. from UC Berkeley in 1977. She continued her studies at UC Davis, where she earned an M.S. degree in soil science in 1979 and Ph.D. in plant pathology in 1984.

A Fierce Green Fire
is a documentary which basically tells the
history of the environmental movement right up to the present. It is divided
into five sections, each section narrated by a different person (though the film does not rely heavily on narration). The first
section is narrated by Robert Redford.
The film actually opens
with some gorgeous shots of nature � trees, an elephant running, etc. � and
then quickly, before we can lose ourselves too much in these beautiful scenes,
we are shown smokestacks and fires. And people marching. All of this while The
Chambers Brothers� �Time Has Come Today� plays.
Robert Redford then tells
us, �
The environmental movement is about
nature versus humanity. It arose at a time when our industrial civilization has
grown so powerful it threatens the natural world on which we depend for
.� Pretty serious stuff, but almost immediately, it is lightened: �
But at the beginning you could say it
started with ladies� hats
.� Yes, the Audubon Society was founded to try to
save certain birds that were being used for plumed hats.
And that is something I
truly appreciate about this documentary. While the subject matter couldn�t be
more serious, it manages to find some levity and also, more importantly, quite
a bit of hope. This isn�t a completely depressing fatalistic documentary, as it
chronicles the victories in the environmental movement, giving people hope, and
encouraging us that we can effect change.
It also has quite a lot
of information. I�ve long considered myself an environmentalist, and there is a
good deal here that was completely new to me. The documentary covers a lot of
ground (though never feels too rushed), including information on the Sierra
Club and other important groups. The Sierra Club�s fight against dams is documented
here, including the group�s work to save the Grand Canyon. That campaign got a
tremendous response, including a letter from the IRS saying that donations were
no longer guaranteed to be tax deductible. And this documentary shows us the
letter. Of course that caused more folks to join, and the dams project was
dropped. A victory for the Sierra Club.
Seeing the first photos
of Earth from space is what prompted a lot of people to become concerned with
the environment. And that leads to the first Earth Day, which was founded by
Senator Gaylord Nelson. The documentary treats us to footage of Nelson at a
press conference, footage of Allen Ginsberg, as well as
footage of that famous speech by Civil Rights activist James Farmer, in which
he says: �
If we do not save the
environment, then whatever we do in civil rights or in the war against poverty
will be of no meaning because then we will have the equality of extinction
Robert Redford tells us,
Twenty million people came out for the
first Earth Day, still the largest demonstration ever
The second section,
narrated by Ashley Judd, is focused on pollution and the creation of the EPA.
The information on Love Canal is particularly engrossing, and includes
interviews with Lois Gibb as well as footage of the EPA press conference on
chromosome study from May 16, 1980.
As upsetting as that
information is, the documentary does show the positive outcome. It took a
while, but the homeowners were eventually victorious. Then, of course, with the
election of that bastard Ronald Reagan, the environmental movement ground to a
halt (and turned to grassroots tactics). As is mentioned in the film�s third
section, Reagan took away tax credit and subsidy for the alternative energy
industry. As Stephanie Mills points out, �
had solar collectors on the White House roof, and Reagan took them off
The section on Greenpeace
is quite moving, and contains amazing (and disturbing) footage regarding the
fights to save the whales and the seals.
The documentary�s fourth
and fifth sections are on the larger picture, with the fifth section (which is
narrated by Meryl Streep) being about climate change. Streep says: �
Hurricane Katrina was a wake-up call that
revealed the impacts of global warming in ways that had not touched people before.
In Europe, a heat wave killed seventy thousand�Everything was happening faster
than scientists predicted
At the end, the film does
a good job of showing how we�re all connected. In fact, that is really one of
the film�s themes, and even early on shows how the different movements are
connected (such as the civil rights movement and the environmental movement).
Bonus Features
The DVD includes a short
biography of film director Mark Kitchell. Also, there is a timeline of the
environmental movement and an environmental resource guide, both of which are
PDF files and can be accessed on your computer.
A Fierce Green Fire
was released on DVD on October 1, 2013 through
First Run Features.

We finally got a chance to go do some shooting. I started my wife off with the 10mm Smith (1066) that I got over in GA last week. Before I tell you how she shot, let me say that I still say "ma'am" to her.
The first round she fired was DA and was a little low but in the A zone of a IPSC target at 25'. Her second shot was the first SA round and it was also in the A zone and was a little higher. The next 8 rounds were a group around the A in the A zone and a 2" group. Most of the holes touched another hole. She did not want me to save this target so she kept shooting it. What was I to do tell her no? You may if you want to, but not me.
She liked the 10mm fine, but did not care about firing it again until we set up some milk jugs. We fired a few 180 gr. hollow points at the jugs. It's fun to watch the top get launched. A 10mm hollow point does a great job of launching the tops and blowing the back out of the jugs. The recoil on the 180 gr. jhp was not noticeably different from the 150 gr fmj. Great shooting pistol.

Thanks Scott. I can't see this working great as a shirt unless it was printed all over. I'll have a think on it though to see if I can adapt the design for a shirt.
Hi Scott, think I've come up with a reasonable solution. Didn't want it too big on the shirt. Hope you like. Thanks for the interest, John.

Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
DENVER -- Jason Hammel did not let himself dwell on giving up a homer to the first batter he faced, and his approach worked out just fine.
Hammel recovered to pitch six scoreless innings and Chris Iannetta backed him with a three-run homer Saturday night in the Colorado Rockies' 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.He allowed six hits, including Andrew McCutchen's eighth career homer to start a game."I was like, 'Well, no shutout tonight, I guess,'" Hammel said with a smile. "It was a 2-1 fastball down the middle. He's a big-league hitter and he did what he was supposed to do. I just focused on making my next pitch."And the next one and the one after that, keeping the Pirates in check through the rest of his season-long seven-inning outing. Hammel (3-1) struck out four and walked two and also benefited from three double plays."He pitched well but he gave us pitches to hit," McCutchen said. "Throughout the game, we were hitting the ball hard. That's why, they were able to get those double plays, because we were hitting the ball so hard up the middle or to first base. We were just missing the ball a little bit."Rafael Betancourt pitched a scoreless eighth and Huston Street got the final three outs for his NL-leading 10th save in 10 chances.Bouncing back a day after their first shutout loss to Pittsburgh in 65 games between the teams at Coors Field, the Rockies went in front with a four-run second inning, fueled by some of their slumping hitters.Carlos Gonzalez, dropped down before the game from third to fifth in the batting order, doubled off the left-field wall to start the burst. Jose Lopez and Seth Smith had successive infield singles, tying it at 1. Iannetta, who entered the game batting .173, followed with a drive off Paul Maholm that cleared the center-field fence.The win was the Rockies' 17th in April, tying the 1997 Colorado team for most wins in the month, which was accomplished under former manager Clint Hurdle, now skipper of the Pirates.Todd Helton, who had a double and started two of the double plays with sparkling defensive plays at first base, said he was encouraged by the strong start, which has come in spite of some offensive struggles."It's a great sign," he said. "Guys are going to get hot. The [cold] weather has been an issue. Obviously, we've struggled with that. Once it warms up, hopefully the bats will warm up, too."Maholm (1-4) allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings but continued to be plagued by a lack of run support. The Pirates have scored one run or less while he has been on the mound in all of his losses this season. Maholm fanned three and walked three and dropped to 1-6 with a 7.12 ERA in seven career starts at Coors Field.Pittsburgh lost left fielder Jose Tabata to a right hamstring injury in the first inning. He hit a groundball to shortstop and as he ran down the line, he appeared to begin favoring his right leg, limping slightly as he made his way back to the dugout. He was replaced by Matt Diaz.Game notes
Prior to the game, the Pirates placed RHP Evan Meek (right shoulder tendinitis) on the 15-day disabled list and recalled LHP Daniel Moskos from their Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis. Moskos came on to pitch a hitless eighth inning in his major league debut. ... RHP Aaron Cook, on the 60-day disabled list with a broken right ring finger, threw batting practice at the Rockies' complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., and is scheduled to have a light bullpen session on Monday. ... Todd Helton's first-inning double for the Rockies increased his career total to 533, one shy of tying Lou Gehrig for 30th on the all-time list. ... Of Iannetta's 10 hits this season, seven have gone for extra bases, including three home runs. ... McCutchen's eight leadoff homers rank third on the Pirates' all-time list behind Barry Bonds (20) and Al Martin (10).

NBA Injury News
Last updated 11/18/14
When a player has a weakness, it will usually be exposed. This is true when talking about that player's game or an injury. In Dwight Howard's case, his shoulder problems are common knowledge around the league. And he says teams exploit that.According to Eric Adelson of Yahoo! Sports, Howard said Miami Heat players started grabbing and tugging at his arm and shoulder in order to inflame the problem early. He says that when players do that, the shoulder hurts for the rest of the game.Well, Dwight, you just guaranteed that teams will continue to grab your arm and shoulder the rest of the season. Howard can be a little too honest at times and it gets himself in trouble. We'd all like to believe that basketball players are strict competitors who would never turn to dirty tactics, but that's just not the case. Anyone who's ever played a pick-up game knows that's not the case. And now that Howard has talked about what teams are doing and the resulting effect, more teams are going to do it.Howard is playing through a torn labrum in his shoulder. He is in obvious pain in every game he plays, and the result has been reduced production this season. So far this year, Howard is averaging 16.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. In his career, he has averaged 18.3 points and 12.9 rebounds.Follow @hoopsinjurynews!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="http://www.nbainjurynews.com//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-34100676-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

As 26-year-old Darnell Bennett was laid to rest Monday, local authorities hunted the last of five men believed responsible for his murder.
Rafael Orta, 20, remained at large Monday afternoon while his alleged co-conspirators — Jacob Woodard, 20; Osvaldo Hernandez-Escamilla, 18; Gerardo Renteria, 18; and Jesus Vela, 17, all of Lufkin — were being held in the Angelina County Jail, charged with capital murder.
According to Lufkin Police Det. Cpl. Travis Strickland, Bennett's shooting death was the result of a robbery pact gone wrong. Around 10 p.m. last Tuesday, Feb. 7, the five men reportedly drove to the home Bennett shared with his girlfriend Britney Nerren and her young son at 1408 California Blvd., intending to rob him. Strickland said the men were only acquainted with Bennett as someone who sold marijuana and had no prior issues with him.

Sharing load on two connectors makes sense. Doing this by using Y-cable does not, if we are talking about servo type connectors. There will be even more connectors involved. There should be no need to power a bus from both sides, as voltage drop along the bus should be low, especially if it is rated 30-60A. Anyway, the best thing is wires soldered directly to the pads with heavy duty connectors to the batteries. Fred |

you still need to have a connection from the receiver to each servo passing the ground and the signal wires only, not the positive. actually, you can leave the positive in, you then have each positive feeding the receiver, should be enough amperage to drive that power hungry receiver. |

I got those four Nano packs with new tools I purchased and all four packs died on me in less than a year. In every case they died because a single cell or pair of paralleled cells opened up. Ironically, all four of my DeWALT XRP NiMH packs (which were already well-used before I got my first XRP Nano packs) are still going strong and showing no signs of wearing out. And let me be real clear about something: I don't abuse my cordless tool packs. The moment they show any sign of running out of energy I exchange 'em with charged packs, and I only used the DeWALT DC9310 NiCd/NiMH/Li-Ion chargers that came with the tools to charge them. This is irrelevant to the discussion, but the only DeWALT cordless tools I still use are my 1/2 gallon and 2 gallon cordless vacuums. I either sold or retired the rest of my DeWALT cordless tools and replaced them with Makita 18V LXT tools. The reason actually has little to do with battery issues, though: I just think the DeWALT tools are too bulky and too heavy and I can't seem to detect any benefit to the additional bulk and weight. I'll add that I don't even know what cells Makita is using in their LXT battery packs, but I've never had one fail or wear out and some of mine are close to 3 years old. Pete |

The 36V packs with 26650 cells I have opened, included a battery management module. Really strange if they omitted this on the other types of packs, Maybe it didn't work properly? |

The 4-Port HDMI Real-Time Multiviewer & KVM Switch with PiP / Dual / Quad / Full Modes from Smart-AVI is a part of the HD Multiviewer series of products that allow you to view up to 4 different HD digital video sources on 1 display device simultaneously. It also supports USB keyboard and mouse functionality, allowing you to access all four displays from one KVM set. Connections to video sources are managed via HDMI or DVI connectors, with advanced viewing options such as dual-mode, quad-mode, full-screen mode, and PiP (Picture in Picture) mode.
In the dual-mode, the screen is split into 2 fields of equal size with each video source or computer being displayed in each of the fields. In quad-mode, the screen is split into 4 fields of equal size with the 4 video sources or computers being displayed in each of these fields. In the full-screen mode, 1 of the 4 video sources is displayed in full screen size and maximum resolution. In the PiP mode, the full screen displays 1 of the 4 video sources and is accompanied by 3 smaller images (thumbnails) containing the other video sources on the right-hand margin of the screen, allowing simultaneous monitoring.
Switching between the display modes is simple. You can use the buttons on the front-panel, the programmable keyboard hotkeys, RS-232 commands, or use the built-in OSD (On Screen Display). The OSD is accessible at the press of a button and features controls for all of the multiviewer's functions. The multiviewer is easily programmable through the setup function of the OSD. Use this device to simplify the management of multiple video sources by accessing and controlling them from a single set of controls on one display.
The HD Multiviewer can be used in many applications that require real-time monitoring of multiple devices, like HDTV, DVD players, cameras, and computers. It is a suitable solution in situations where you need to monitor several sources at the same time. In Air Traffic Control environments, several computers are required to monitor the progress of flights and flight information. With the multiviewer you are to manage each computer and monitor the progress without having to switch between sources, making it a suitable solution for multitasking.

Carousels in New York City
Take a spin on one of our favorite city carousels—we found a merry-go-round in every borough. Plus: Get the scoop on two soon-to-open carousels in 2013.
Wed Mar 20 2013
While the earliest carousels may have been built in Europe, it seems New York City has perfected the art of the merry-go-round. Whether you're after a ride on a psychedelic praying mantis at the Bronx Zoo, a massive St. Bernard, or a majestic unicorn, there are carousels in New York City for every kid. This year, expect big things from two soon-to-be landmarks: the Seaglass Carousel, an LED-lit glass-and-steel architectural feat opening in Battery Park some time this spring, and the renovation of the B&B Carousell, Coney Island's last historic merry-go-round. In the mean time, spend a sunny weekend afternoon recalling a simpler time at one of these carousels in New York City.
Carousels in Manhattan
Friedsam Memorial Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
As you walk along Playmates Arch in the Children's Zone section of Central Park, you'll hear the organ music before you see the Friedsam Memorial Carousel, which features 57 nearly life-size steeds. A merry-go-round was first installed at the site in 1871; it and two or possibly three successors, according to park lore, caught fire and had to be replaced. In 1950, the Parks Department found the current carousel—crafted in 1908 by Brooklyn manufacturer Stein and Goldstein—in an old trolley terminal in Coney Island, had it restored and moved it to its current location. Expect a long line for the ride, though the balloon, hot dog and popcorn vendors may distract your little ones from the wait.
- Central Park, (midpark at 64th St), 10023
Le Carrousel
- Price band: 1/4
Bryant Park's Le Carrousel pays homage to the greenspace's Parisian influence with 14 animals that revolve to French cabaret music. But don't expect European snobbery here: Activities for families abound. This summer, the carousel's mascot, Flaubert Frog (aka children's storyteller about town, Dan Kitrosser), will hang with local kids on Saturdays from 1 to 2pm for games and stories and on Sundays from 1 to 2pm magicians from Monday Night Magic will astound tots with their sleight of hand. Check website for a complete schedule of this year's events.
- Bryant Park, W 40th St, (between Fifth and Sixth Aves), 10018
Pier 62 Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
It's name may not sound fabulous, but the Pier 62 Carousel isn't bland. Located at Hudson River Park's Pier 62 near Chelsea Piers, this waterfront merry-go-round opened in May 2010 and features 33 hand-carved animals, most indigenous to Hudson River Valley (we're partial to the sea turtle, raccoon and wild turkey). Tykes can also perch atop a classic wooden steed (it's a unicorn) or ride in the grand oyster chariot, which is also wheelchair accessible.
- Hudson River Park, 23rd St, (at the Hudson River), 10011
Totally Kid Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
After its restoration overhaul in 2009, the Totally Kid Carousel at Riverbank State Park is still rolling with the same 36 critters it debuted with in 1997. The menagerie was created by artist Milo Mottola based on imaginative drawings by local kids; the original sketches are posted above each bobbing animal for your brood to admire before hopping on the refurbished merry-go-round.
- Riverbank State Park, (enter park from Riverside Dr at 145th St), 10031
Carousels in Brooklyn
Jane's Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
For years, kids walking down Water Street in Dumbo got a tantalizing "look but don't touch" peek at a magnificent 1922 carousel frozen in time (and inside a studio), waiting to leap once more to life. But patience was rewarded in 2011, when the carousel was given a permanent home in a specially designed, transparent pavilion steps away from the East River in Dumbo's Brooklyn Bridge Park. The carousel is named for its benefactor, Brooklyn artist Jane Walentas, who purchased it at auction in 1984 and then spent more than 20 years painstakingly restoring the ride to its former beauty. For $2 kids can climb aboard one of the 48 horses or two chariots, absorbing breathtaking views as they go around. And then they'll want to go again, and again, and again…
- Brooklyn Bridge Park, enter at Dock or Main Sts, 11201
Prospect Park Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
The Carousel in Prospect Park has been a popular attraction since 1952, and was first erected in Coney Island in 1915. Hand-carved three years earlier by renowned designer Charles Carmel, the ride is known for its expressive equestrian figures that seem to elegantly prance to the tunes of a Wurlitzer organ. By coincidence, Carmel drew inspiration from his many visits to the Prospect Park stables, which were located just a few blocks from his home. Among the 51 horses, the handsome Gray Ghost is a favorite. Brownie the lion, one of three menagerie animals, has many fans, too. Find them in the Children's Corner of the park, adjacent to Lefferts Historic House and the zoo.
- Prospect Park, enter park from Willink entrance, (Ocean Ave at Empire Blvd), 11225
Carousels in Queens
Flushing Meadows Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
From watching a Mets game to exploring the New York Hall of Science, there's no shortage of activities at the 1,255-acre Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. Take a break at the Flushing Meadows Carousel, adjacent to the Queens Zoo. The turn-of-the-last-century wood classic comprises 64 "jumping" horses (some with flying manes and tails), seven standing horses, a lion and two stand-alone chariots. The ride combines figures from two early-1900s Coney Island attractions: the Charles Feltman and the Stubbman carousels. Both were the work of master carver Marcus Charles Illions, who had a hand in several Coney Island amusements. The mash-up merry-go-round was installed at its current home for the 1964 World's Fair.
- Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, (111th St at 55th Ave), 11368
Forest Park Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
One of the few remaining creations of famed wood carver Daniel Carl Muller, the Forest Park Carousel was forced to shut down in 2009, after the operator let its contract with the city expire. In May 2012, the historic merry-go-round re-opened under different management, so tykes can once again perch atop one of the jumping or standing horses while the A. Ruth & Sohn organ plays on. Birthday party options and Saturday clown shows add to the fun.
- Forest Park, use northwest entrance, (Forest Park Dr and Woodhaven Blvd ), 11421
Carousels in the Bronx
Bug Carousel
- Price band: 1/4
Added to the Bronx Zoo's Butterfly Garden in 2005, the trippy Bug Carousel will charm all but the most confirmed entomophobes. Your kid can cruise on any of the 64 enormous, brightly painted insect replicas—be it the green praying mantis, orange grasshopper or red ladybug. Touted as the very first "all-bug carousel" (and who are we to argue?), it is educational as well as entertaining. A vivid hand-painted mural on the ride's perimeter depicts the transformation of caterpillars into butterflies.
- Bronx Zoo, 2300 Southern Blvd, (at Fordham Rd), 10460
Carousels in Staten Island
Carousel For All Children
- Price band: 1/4
Tucked away in the Willowbrook Park section of the lush Staten Island preserve known as the Greenbelt stands the Carousel for All Children. The Victorian-style merry-go-round, which was built in 1999, is rarely crowded, so kids can take their time deciding whether to try a two-minute turn on a dolphin, panda, ostrich or another of the 51 hand-carved wooden animal figures. (One of our favorites is a reproduction of a large Saint Bernard dog from the borough's former Tirelli Carousel, which did service from the early 1900s until 1957 in nearby Midland Beach.) This popular attraction, which sits behind a serene duck pond, also features vividly painted scenes of Staten Island landmarks. After viewing their likeness, your kids may want to make a trip to see the Conference House—a historic Revolutionary War–era home—or the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art.
- Willowbrook Park, Eton Pl, (at Richmond Ave), 10314

As you can see from my flag I am from the US, but I really enjoy British music. I find that some of the best modern pop music has come from the UK, especially Sugababes and Girls Aloud. I also just got Beverley Knight's greatest hits and Nerina Pallot "fires" and I really enjoy both! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on other music that I might enjoy from the UK :D

Wizards(1977)Avatar is the kindly, eccentric sorcerer-ruler of Montagar, a rainbow paradise inhabited by elves and fairies. Avatar's evil brother Blackwolf dominates Scortch, a bleak land of goblins and wraiths. When the power-hungry Blackwolf attacks Montagar, Avatar, accompanied only by a spirited young woman and a courageous elf, must enter the darkness of Scortch to save his world. For more about Wizards and the Wizards Blu-ray release, see Wizards Blu-ray Review published by Casey Broadwater on March 14, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5. Starring: Bob Holt, Jesse Welles, Mark Hamill, Richard Romanus, David Proval, Jim Connell (I) Director: Ralph Bakshi » See full cast & crew Wizards Blu-ray, Video QualityWarner Brothers released Bakshi's animated version of Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray in 2010, and if you've seen that film, you'll have some idea of what to expect from 20th Century Fox's treatment of Wizards. The fact is, Bakshi's films just don't have the fan base to financially support a meticulous frame-by-frame restoration, so unlike Disney films from the same erawhich are miraculously revived in high definitionthey're really going to show their age. This is certainly true for Wizards' 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer, based on a source print that's, nicked, scratched, and frequently salted and peppered with white and black specks. Aside from the print damage, though, which could've been fixed with enough time and money, most of the picture's visual peculiarities what might unkindly be called defectsare actually problems with the original animation. The brightness of static images flickers on occasion, colors fluctuate within their cells, and foreground objects go unintentionally semi-transparent, allowing the backgrounds to be seen right through them. Some of the composite shots, mixing Nazi propaganda and animated characters, are also incredibly grainy and harsh. (There's an argument for Disney using DNR to clean up its films that goes something like this: Animation is essentially a pen, paint, and paper medium that's not inherently "filmic," so a true representation of the animator's craft would be to remove all grain from the image. But that's a discussion for another time.) Still, this Blu-ray, in all other respects, is an appreciable jump from the picture quality of the standard definition DVD. Outlines look sharper, edges are cleaner, and color is surprisingly vivid. Black levels are solid as well, and contrast looks tight. Since it's unlikely that Wizards will ever get a complete restorative overhaul, I'd say this release is definitely worth the upgrade. Note: For those of you who imported the U.K. release of the film last year, put out by Eureka Entertainment, it looks to me like this U.S. version features the exact same transfer. Wizards Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe only marked difference between this U.S. disc and the U.K. release from last year is that this one features a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, whereas the the British edition only arrived with a lossless stereo mix. Not that the difference is substantive. The soundfield has been opened up in only superficial ways. The music, for instance, is panned quietly into the rears, and occasionally the sound designers for this release have added a bit of reverb in the surround channels, giving some depth to effects that are otherwise located entirely up front. If you were expecting all-new whiz-bang cross-channel directionality, you may be disappointed. This is still very much a front-and-center kind of mix. But there's nothing wrong with thatit's not like the original theatrical release had a multi-channel presentationand this track succeeds in offering a relatively clean, clear presentation of the film's audio. Some of the dialogue sounds slightly muffled and far away, and a few of the effects have a flat, lifeless quality, but there's really not much to complain about here. Obviously, considering when the film was made, bass response is noticeably lacking and the high-end sounds a little brittle and brash, but it is what is. Otherwise, Andrew Belling's synthesizer score sounds better than ever, and when Blackwolf rolls his armies into Montagar, the porn-y sounding proto-funk music kicks in nicely. The disc also includes an English and Spanish Dolby Digital mono tracks, along with optional English SDH, Spanish, and French subtitles. Also note that the U.S. release lacks the score-only audio track that was included on the British edition.

Fortunate workers who know Clinical Research can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 46 percent above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Human Resources and Electronic Medical Records. Most people skilled in Budget Management are similarly competent in Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average beginner in this position makes around $65K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $75K. On average, Clinical Operations Managers make $84K following one to two decades on the job.

Sessions is a major upgrade over old man Fisher and has far more PG instincts and abilities than Bynum. I don't see much wrong with his stats. He is averaging over 6 assists in his time with the Lakers and that's exactly what they need from him. He would only be the 5th option on offense after Kobe, Kobe, Gasol and Bynum. I would easily take Sessions at 4.2 mil over Bynum at 3.5 mil per year.
I would take 6 assists per game from anybody.............. Our assists leader gave us 3.8 assists per game......
Oh God - it was not my intention to defend Bynum. I wish we never would have gave him that contract. I was defending the position that our guys are not total crap and actually do have some trade value. Sessions avg 5.5 APG overall. If Bynum played as much as he did then I am sure he would have hit that mark as well.
Its not about numbers. Sessions runs fast, has good eyes, and makes people better. He had good range, and decent penetration. He is a good fit in a team which desperately needs youth.
How did this get started? What does Sessions have to do with the question of can Bynum be traded this summer? I know LA passed on Bynum to get Sessions
Will Bynum is in the final year of his contract. He will make $3.5 million next season. Here is the Pistons salary picture: HoopsHype - NBA Salaries - Detroit Pistons For some GUARANTEED ENTERTAINMENT, visit the link above and then click on Will Bynum's name. If you don't laugh, I will give you your money back.
Well, their games are pretty similar. I used to mix them up all the time. Actually, Wilcox would be pretty nice beside Monroe.
I think so. Magic and Stockton combined would probably be a little gangly and uncoordinated. Though, they would tower over other PG's.
I am penciling LA in the Finals based on Sessions talents. 14.2 would have been underpaying but 4.2/yr is an absolute steal.


text: Link's TransformationLink fell on his hands and knees, gasping for breath. He could feel sweat dripping down from his hair."W-wha... Agh!" He grabbed his head, trying to cope with the lack of air he was suddenly faced with. No air? Why the hell... He felt like the world was trying to pound him into the ground as he let go of his head, and let his hands fall to the ground.He dug his fingers into the ground with surprising strength, and cried out, tossing the two tufts of the ground that his hands had detached from the ground. A pain known now only to him shot through his body like an arrow being shot into him. His cry turned to a half-like howl; half-like cry as air suddenly filled his lungs, and he gratefully took it in with hoarse gasps.And then he heard bone cracking, and a tidal wave of pain surged through him as his legs began to physically change. His toes were put together much more tightly, and his calf muscles got leaner, and much more toned. His entire leg and feet began to shrink
