/ Percent of Irrigated Cropland in Pressure Irrigation, 1992
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
This shaded polygon map shows the percent of irrigated cropland in pressure irrigation for each 8-digit hydrologic unit. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shown as gray. There were 24.9 million acres of pressure irrigated cropland in the U.S. in 1992.
Cautions for this Product: This map does not show the total amount of pressure irrigated Cropland. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska, and the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are shown by 6-digit hydrologic unit.
Source: National Resources Inventory, 1997 Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD Reliability: NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: 8 Digit Hydrologic Unit Areas with Federal Land Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
Cropland: A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
Hydrologic units: A hierarchical system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey that divides the United States and the Caribbean into 21 major regions, 222 subregions, 352 accounting units, and further subdivided into 2,150 cataloging units that delineate river basins having drainage areas usually greater than 700 square miles. [USGS]
Irrigated land: Land that shows evidence of being irrigated during the year of the inventory or during two or more years out of the last four years. Water is supplied to crops by ditches, pipes, or other conduits. Water spreading is not considered irrigation; it is recorded as a conservation practice. [NRI-97]
Pressure irrigated: Water is delivered to the farm and/or field in pump or elevation induced pressure pipelines; and water is distributed across the field by: [NRI-97] 1. Sprinkle irrigation (center pivot, linear move, traveling gun, side roll, hand move, big gun, or fixed set sprinklers), or, 2. Micro irrigation (drip emitters, continuous tube bubblers, micro spray or micro sprinklers).

Quantitative nephelometry is a test to quickly and accurately measure the specific level of certain proteins called immunoglobulins in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies that help your body fight infection.
This test looks specifically for the immunoglobulins IgM, IgG, and IgA.
Quantitative immunoglobulins
A blood sample is needed.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 hours before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. This soon goes away.
The test provides a rapid and accurate measurement of the amounts of the immunoglobulins IgM, IgG, and IgA.
The examples above show the common measurements for these test results. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.
Increased levels of IgG may be due to:
Decreased levels of IgG may be due to:
Increased levels of IgM may be due to:
Decreased levels of IgM may be due to:
Increased levels of IgA may be due to:
Decreased levels of IgA may be due to:
It is important to note that other testing is required to confirm or diagnose any of the conditions above. Often, slight abnormalities in the levels of immunoglobulins are clinically insignificant.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Nephelometry determines the total amount of each immunoglobulin but cannot distinguish specific antibodies. Other tests such as immunoelectrophoresis or immunofixation can be used to make these distinctions.

We read member emails every day and when we start seeing requests we do our best to satisfy all of them here at 1000 Facials. Lately we were getting two kinds of comments, one was a group of members asking for some more 'exotic looking' pornstars and the other was a very loyal group if Amia Miley fans who kept asking every week when we would be able to have her here on 1000 Facials sucking cock and earning her sticky facial reward. Well folks, this update satisfies both groups for sure, and anyone who loves top quality porn will be thrilled to see Amia in action. This is the kind of performance that earns a pornstar a whole lot of new fans as well!

Response teams
At the request of member countries, we can provide specialized teams to assist national police. There are two types of team, each made up of experts in the relevant fields.
Incident Response Teams
An INTERPOL Incident Response Team (IRT) is deployed at the request of a member country during a crisis situation. There are two types of IRT:
- Disaster – an emergency response to a manmade or natural disaster. The IRT delivers concentrated attention to urgent issues and problems arising from the disaster or crisis, focusing all available INTERPOL resources on the situation at hand.
- Crime – the deployment of specialized personnel to assist and support a member country faced with a major or serious police issue. Crime IRTs provide specific expertise and investigative support to police.
An IRT can be briefed, equipped and deployed anywhere in the world within 12 to 24 hours of an incident.
Expert assistance
An IRT is typically composed of expert police and support staff, and is tailored to the specific nature of the crime or disaster and the type of assistance INTERPOL is requested to provide.
IRTs can provide a range of investigative and analytical support at the incident site in coordination with the General Secretariat, such as:
- Issuing international notices for fugitive terrorists whose arrests are sought by member countries;
- Database queries of fingerprints to quickly identify suspects;
- Access to the database of lost or stolen travel documents;
- Money laundering expertise;
- Coordination of response to disaster victim identification through a wide network of international experts and laboratories.
The first IRT was deployed in October 2002 to Indonesia following a terrorist bombing in Bali. To date, more than 80 teams have been deployed to countries across the world.

leave it Epic to promptly forget what made UT2k3 / UT2k4 a success. As a platform, Linux draws more programmer types than Windows, and many of the more successful modifications for UT2k3 / UT2k4 were produced on Linux systems. Coming from someone who hung around sites like BeyondUnreal and NaliCity on a near unhealthy basis, to my eyes it was an uncommon sight to see somebody who had produced their map / skin / mod on a Microsoft platform.
When UT3 launched, I remembered several forum threads from modders would wait for the Linux client and production tools rather than having to change up their production systems. I could be wrong, but I think Epic somehow managed to miss figuring out where their content creators were at... and from the activity of the UT3 mod scene since launch, it seems that such a viewpoint is correct. While UT3 does have several quality maps available, and several quality modifications, the number of contributers has cut off sharply, and the game was not considered a success for Midway.
One of the big stories over the past month was the re-launch of UT3 on Steam and the addition of the Titan-Gamepack, whiich turned into a successful relaunch of the product.
However... maybe not coincidentally, at the same time Steam was pumping up the UT3 relaunch, Cedega was making UT3-win playable on Linux. Now, if Cedega does their job right, tracking information obtained about a computer from a game developer or publisher should return would return a Windows compatiblity base... Only if Cedega, Wine, or Crossover screw something up will publishers suddenly get an idea of just how many people are not using Windows... exampling the sudden number of people playing City of Heroes on Windows 98 systems, and NCSoft's subsequent hiring of Transgaming for an official Mac Port.
While I don't have any hard information to state that Cedega's playability of UT3 on Linux was responsible for the turn-around in sales and subsequent re-interest in Epics game... I do think the empirical sales and community participation information that IS available indicates that Epic screwed up on their platform support.

Ahh nice to see that Warsow is switching to a bit more open development style it seems... although this and the recent departure of one of the main developers could be also interpreted as a "source-drop" as a last measure??? I hope that is not the case.
Feature wise this engine actually seems really nice at first glance (especially that it has game-type scripting is rare of a >idtech1 derived engine), but there is a lack of good documentation on all the features and how to build a game on this engine.

Your Roadmap for Success
Welcome to UCM! We want you to succeed from the start and that is why we have created a First-Year Experience (FYE) program. The FYE program is comprised of three essential components: Orientation and Enrollment, Week of Welcome, and a FYE Seminar. These three components work together to help you achieve your goals. To view the mission and goals we have developed for the FYE program, click here. FYE focuses on giving first-year students the resources and support needed to successfully transition into college. A powerful way to experience FYE is through participation in a learning community. Learning Communities consist of groups of students in linked or paired courses. These courses will introduce students to different disciplines offered at UCM and more importantly, will provide students with a social network that is critical to success. Nationwide research clearly indicates that students who participate in learning communities are more likely to succeed in college. |
Phase I: Orientation and Enrollment
Orientation and Enrollment is a one-day required program designed specifically for you and your family. You will become acquainted with academic and co-curricular activities at UCM, meet with academic advisors to complete your fall course schedule and complete vital procedural details, such as housing and financial aid. Orientation and Enrollment is your first step to First Year Success!
A special track has also been designed specifically for parents to learn more about UCM.
Phase II: Week of Welcome
Week of Welcome (WOW) is a six-day program designed to build connections between first-year students and the UCM community. WOW is a great way to get acclimated to UCM before the semester officially kicks off on Wednesday. You will move in on Sunday, attend interest sessions, hear speakers and enjoy both entertainment and social activities. Don't miss out on all the fun. To learn more...
Phase III: FYE Seminar
Join other incoming students in a special course designed specifically for your first semester at UCM. Freshman Seminar gives first-year students a shared opportunity to make the academic and social transition to UCM. Activities and programs are designed for you to learn more about UCM and the community. Students receive ongoing guidance from their own Freshman Seminar student mentor and the UCM faculty member who facilitate this unique (1-2) credit hour experience.
- The Freshman Seminar is limited to no more than 30 students per seminar
- Small group communities are purposefully incorporated into the Freshman Seminar Experience
- Freshman Seminar serves as the anchor for the learning communities
What can you expect from the Freshman Seminar course?
- Developing meaningful connections
- Achieving your goals
- Getting to know the campus
- Learning how to be successful at UCM

Odd fit, too bold...
I've been looking for good ankle pants, but because of my "curves," I've had a hard time finding a pair that isn't skin-tight. These are unfortunately the opposite--they are weirdly baggy. I got my usual size--a 12, which is what I wear in Limited skirts, although I sometimes am a 10 in the Drew pants. I'm about 5'4" and 140lbs. The pants were too baggy in the butt and the thighs, and it just wasn't flattering on me. I ordered them online, so I haven't tried on a smaller size...but I don't think they would fit me any better. I think the cut just isn't right. The pants were also too shiny for me. The color is nice, but with such a bold color, I felt the added sheen made them look a bit clownish. The quality seemed good, and the length was nice. These just don't work for me. I'm disappointed to have to return them.
July 11, 2013
Nice fabric and very comfortable! Good for travel. The color is not what I expected (more of an orange than red).
June 5, 2013
LOVE them
Finally The Limited made an ankle pant that fits curvy women. I have two pairs of the black ones and they are great for work and casual wear. Please make them in more colors!
June 2, 2013
I'm confused
I'm a curvy lady with full thighs. In the past, I have opted for the Cassidy fit and the wide-leg Drew fit. I decided to try these, because I thought they would be more flattering.
I was shocked to see that the hip and butt areas were too baggy. I've never had that happen to me before in my life.
I am not sure if sizing down will help. I guess, I will try another pair of regular Lexie pants. If not, I will keep buying the Cassidy. #sigh.
Happy Shopping!
June 1, 2013
I love the color!
Love these! They fit just like the other Lexi pants I have. I was worried about the color, based on other reviews. However, mine are a deep coral color. They look great with navy, black, tan, gray, and white tops.
May 26, 2013
Nice - but inconsistent sizing
I got both colors of these pants during a BOGO special. The black fits quite well, although I wish they weren't so tapered at the bottom, and the length is a tad short (but I am 5'11"). The red color was not what I expected, it's almost like a pinkish circus red, not a color I would normally wear. The real frusturating part is that even if I wanted to keep them, the fit was incredibly off! They were either marked wrong or the Limited is way off on this one. I could barely get the red ones on, they were so tight. And they were the SAME size as the black. Please make sizing more consistent, especially within the same styles and exact pant.
April 30, 2013
Love them
These are great for a more dressed up look than crops. Did tend to stretch some.
April 20, 2013
perfect pant for rushed mornings
i am wearing these tonight to my grandson's recital. i can wear them to work monday and to a casual event...they are perfect. i was concerned they'd be a tad big at the waist but they are not. i love the wide waistband. works for me. i have a tiny waist but ample thighs. i am about 5'4" and slightly curvy. i was concerned about the review that said they were tapered. i don't think so at least not on me. i look like the model shown...except i'm sure she's a lot hotter! 3% spandex will give a little so i'm not afraid of the slight tight fit at the hips. i'd rather that than be swimming in them in a couple of hours after putting them on. i hate looking schleppy like that. i love these and i agree with the person who wishes they came in other colors. charcoal, dark brown, and navy please?? i will wear these all summer with my bright jackets (limited) and tops....je t'aime!

Tech is the new black. It's what makes our digital world turn, and here at Zone we just can't get enough of it. So much so, this week we've acquired Auros, a leading technology and internet consultancy.
Auros' market-leading expertise will bolster the tech wizardry of our existing 20-strong development team. The integrated technical team will be led by Auros founder Dominic Mills, who joins the Zone board as chief technology officer. Current Zone CTO Marc Parnell takes on the new role of chief information officer.
Founded in 2001, Auros is a leader in the EPiServer content management platform, offering robust and complex development projects to clients including Gatwick Airport and Swinton Insurance.
The addition also means more bricks and mortar in the form of a new Bristol office to complement Zone's London HQ.
Our MD, Jon Davie, had this to say: "The acquisition of Auros is a significant step in our ambitious growth plans. It reinforces our belief that great technology underpins everything brands have to do in a digital world."
Welcome to the family, Auros (and just in time for the Christmas party…)!

Do You Believe in Magic? …and Not So Much: Reflections on Last Week and a Season of Growth for the Angels
Baseball last week was bittersweet for me. We enjoyed a night at the ballpark Monday! But it was our last night at the ballpark of the season and the Angels lost, sounding the absolute final death knell in their post season hopes. But a little more sweet was added to temper the bitter Wednesday night when we all witnessed pure magic! An evening of baseball so amazing it can only be described with a Yogi Berra quote – it ain't over, 'til it's over. My condolences to Red Sox and Braves fans, it's not about rooting against your teams, it's about loving the magic of a come from behind upset to begin with and then witnessing two within breaths of one another. Wow!
So, as for Monday night's game? Well, it was a heartbreaker of game, an at that point expected heartbreak I quickly recovered from, but still. So many miscues and missed opportunities!
And that is not how I prefer to remember my season, especially when I had so much fun with the Angels for most of it…frequently frustrating fun as I have fully documented on these virtual pages, LOL, but fun even so. So imagine my delight when I reviewed the photos I took that evening and discovered a lot of smiling, fun shots of my favorite ballplayers that I think show off the great personality of the team as a whole. Instantly my goofy brain imagined strange scenarios and back stories for each of the photos because, really, I prefer to remember the season as fun:
All silliness aside, walking back to our car after the game Monday night, Seth and I rehashed the misses and mistakes. What if the Angels had played the first inning smoothly? What if they hadn't stranded so many runners? What if, what if, what if. Seth declared that 'what if' was a metaphor for the whole season, though he said it wistfully and with some affection, not in anger. I agreed with him at the time, but the more I think about, the more I decided that Howie Kendrick's last at bat was a better metaphor for the season.
Bottom of the 9th, two outs, one on base and the Angels are down by one. Were this the scenario back in 2009, I would have been 75 to 80% certain that whoever was at bat would get a double and the runner would score from first or on the very next at bat and my comeback kid Angels would have pulled it off again. Were this scenario last season, I would have been 75 to 80% certain that whoever was at bat would pop up or strike out, ending the game. Watching it all play out this season, I realized that I had absolutely no idea if Howie would be able to pull it off or not. With the 2011 Angels, you just never knew. And if that was sometimes frustrating, it was also sometimes amazing – a definite improvement over the previous season and an indication of growth in the right direction, giving me hope for 2012.
Look, 2011 was a season where there were darned few easy wins for the Angels. There were numerous contributing factors. Season long questions, first about the five spot in the starting rotation, then the four spot, then the five and back to the four and eventually both. Veteran bats failing at the same time rookie bats were learning. Not getting Kendrys back at first as expected – though in hindsight, they should have planned on that from the start – threw everyone for a loop and although Mark Trumbo became the first baseman for the team and how, there were the to-be-expected growing pains all season especially in April and May. Injuries, several of them to Torii Hunter which contributed in part to the bats situation. Cleanup spot by committee on a team with no natural cleanup spot hitter…which lead to a bunch of guys who are really excellent gap hitters, swinging for the fences and whiffing or popping out. (Trumbo is the cleanup hitter of the future in my opinion, but it was too early this season.) Then there was the bullpen. There was noticeable improvement over 2010 but, still, pick a day. They could be absolutely fantastic or the arson squad part deux. And, of course, the closer situation. From veteran closer gone bad to baby closer with flashes of brilliance amidst growing pains, that was another constant struggle this season.
All in all, the Angels won a lot of games but, for all of the reasons above and more, it was a grind to win almost every single one and I think that, quite simply, by the time we got to September the Angels were tired. Oh, in spirit they were willing and eager enough to get to the post season, witness the string of near comebacks. But I think that physically they were just too tired to take that next leap and carry themselves into the post season. And if they had made to the post season, I don't think they would have made it past the first round, especially with the news that Mark Trumbo had been playing with a stress fracture in his foot for the last several games and was out. This isn't a complaint at all, it's an observation. I think they played their hearts out but, well, teams that are still capable of contending at the end, like the 2011 Rays, dig in harder to win even more when they find out that other teams in the race have lost. Teams that are just too tired to get there, like the 2011 Angels, collapse in relief to catch their breaths when they find out that other teams in the race have lost.
I wish it were different but I have a hard time being anything more than a little disappointed by it. I have watched a lot of So Cal baseball in my life, brilliant seasons, terrible seasons and everything in between, and I have to say that this was not a season that folks should get depressed over. This was a growing season that gives next season some promise. And, now, as we continue enjoying what so far has been a pretty fun post season – as fun as it can be without an Angels presence! – I will conclude this post with a few heartwarming thoughts for next season:
This last photo really struck a chord with me. Taken during the warm-up just before the top of the 9th, immediately after Mike Trout struck out looking, it appears to me that Peter Bourjos is consoling Trout a little bit. Who knows what they were actually saying to one another. For all I know, Trout was making sure his cleats are tied and Bourjos is laughing him or they weren't even talking at all. But my photo, my interpretation – so consoling it is. And I think, as such, it's a good message for everyone. Take heart Angels fans, they'll get 'em next season!

LOVE all the photo caption commentary! Especially that last one. I like to think their is some consoling going on there too. And the Rodney pic there, "networking". Hilarious. Glad you found another part of your voice through the pictures this season. I have enjoyed them and I look forward to more… especially Kiss Cams in the bullpen.
Thanks Jeff! I'm glad you enjoyed them. Yes, definitely, more photos next season and hopefully they continue the schtick with the kiss cam and the opposing team (or occassionally our own announcer's booth!). It has made an annoying ballpark cliche quite funny.

No, for some of us, it IS about rooting against the Red Sox. At any opportunity.
LOL Andy! I didn't make [the comment] fer yo-ou. (Would that I could get a little Tim Curry eyebrow raise going there.) Okay, especially after the last two seasons, maybe it was a little bit about rooting against the Red Sox, but more than that I looooove a spoiler…so long as my team ain't the spoiled.
— Kristen
I love the commentary–one of my regrets for the season ending is so too will the commentary. Hope it's a better 2012 for both our teams, mine under new ownership preferably, and that the post-season does not disappoint.
Thank you Andy!! But only the individual game commentary will end. There is loads to discuss in the offseason, and where there isn't I write fake P.S.A.s and parody musicals and such…hey, normality is never an affliction I've claimed. Indeed though, here's to a much better 2012 at both ends of the 5 freeway, and real owner for your boys in blue.
— Kristen
More great pics to close the season out. Looks like Trout is becomming a fan favorite already. Lots of young talent on this team, and no reason not to be excited about next season. Enjoy the Fall!
'Minoring In Baseball'
Thanks Mike! You and the kids enjoy the fall too! Trout is definitely becoming a fan favorite and a line up favorite too. Time for everyone to rest now but next season should be great!

The term 'corporate veil' refers to shielding a corporation's shareholders (or an LLC's owners) from personal liability for the debts or actions of the business.
By setting up a corporation or LLC, business owners create a separate legal entity that can help protect them from lawsuits filed against their company.
Forming an LLC or corporation is an important first step toward protecting personal assets like your home, cars and retirement savings. You've worked too hard to let a lawsuit against your business threaten your personal belongings.
Only The Company Corporation offers an exclusive $50,000 Corporate Veil Guarantee® at no additional charge when we form your business structure.

Sportline Men's SOLO 925 Heart Rate Monitor
second watch
I loved this watch. I got the warenty on one just like it 2 years ago. It broke and I was shipped a new one. Absolutly love it. It does everything I want. Heart rate, pedometer, calories, distance Sooooo love it.
March 31, 2014
A good watch to have if the chest straps don't work for you
I went through 2 watches that use chest straps and neither one worked for me. After all the good reviews they got I was a little concerned. I found that those of us with a slight heartbeat abnormality could have this problem.
This Sportline watch was a good solution for me. While I can't use it while walking on the treadmill (I have to stop and check) it does provide a good service to me during bike rides where I don't even have the heart rate checks that most treadmills provide these days.
Yesterday on a treadmill at a popular fitness club I got wrong readings but the watch was still giving me good data to use.
May 21, 2013
It's difficult to use, especially while running. It is remarkably inaccurate in measuring speed and distance. It's just completely useless. I wouldn't pay 70 cents for it, let alone 70 dollars.
March 26, 2013
Waste of money
I was extremely disappointed with this watch, the only feature that works is the time. Found it impossible to set any of the features because the time allowed to set was only a second or two. I bought it to use as a heart rate monitor, was never able to use that. Went to a running store and bought another watch. Do not purchase this watch.
March 12, 2013
planning on returning it today
The pedometer counts steps when you're sitting still, the light doesn't stay on long enough to read your heart rate if running outside at dusk. Overall poor product.
March 12, 2013
this product was inferior
difficult to use and set up, fell apart within the week
January 22, 2013
Instructions were a bit lacking. But with a little effort on my part got it working. It operates flawlessly doing multiple functions. I need to know my heart rate during cardio rehab and it is a snap to get a reading, times my walk along with steps and distance. It does all I expected. Great. Product
January 15, 2013
This product is amazingly accurate
For the first six months of this year I worked out every day and really watched what I was eating, resulting in a loss of 25 pounds. Running a 5k race this summer and white water rafting, with no issues what-so-ever, allowed me to believe that I was in great shape at age 51. Much to my surprise (and everyone elses) while relaxing in a lake, I had a heart attack followed by emergency open heart surgery for a double by-pass. Currently three days per week are spent in cardiac rehab at a local hospital. I bought this monitor because it did not require a chest strap, a feature that was a must for me. I am constantly monitored by two nurses during my re-hab sessions. One on the exercise floor and one staring at a monitor screen indicating my heart rate as recorded by electrodes. It is impressive that when I check the rate diplayed on my Sportline Solo 925 Heart Rate Monitor, it is within one beat per minute of the monitors being used by the cardiac care nurses at the hospital! It has numerous other features, but the accuracy of my heart rate to ensure I am working in my "Target Zone" is the most important to me. Never underestimate the value of your health, this is a great product to help you manage it. The slight negative comment about it is that due to the many features, it can be a little cumbersome to program some of the advanced settings.
November 13, 2012
Not reliable
Used the product for two workouts before it stop registering heart rate.
July 2, 2012
Multifunction watch for daily use
This watch is a good multifunction watch for daily use for those that have busy life. Easy to operate and very light weight, can't even tell you are actually wearing it. I mainly use it to keep my heart rate monitor, will be using it more when I start my exercise on treadmill and cycling...... Aside from hard to strap using one hand, watch is a good product......they may want to think about using different type of buckle type for easy on/off using one hand. I give 4.75 out of 5......

Bisping ned drink mor milks!
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I don't think many were saying that at all. There may be a slight bias on this forum as mainly UK posters but more thought Vitor was going to KO Mike. Vitor is athletic and has very quick hands and mixed up his kicks which Lombard certainly won't do. Lombard is slow, predictable and tecnically poor, but he does have a lot of power. Belfort was a shit match up for Mike, Biping is a shit matchup for Lombard. I think he'll struggle to land a decent shot on him
Lombard likes to be calculated and stalk his opponent, I thought he beat Boetsch personally but you can't say someone is slow, predictable and technically poor if they've finished 25 of their 32 fights and 18 have been KO/TKO.
I think if they fought that Lombard would KO Mike and thats not me being a hater, Lombard hits VERY hard and everytime Bisping gets hit with a good enough shot from someone with very heavy hands he gets drop e.g. Henderson, Wanderlei and Belfort. I'm taking nothing away from your opinion I'm just stating the facts.
Bisping has 13 wins in the UFC, not 17. He's 13-5, should be 12-6. And it's laughable to suggest he's been screwed over. The guy has literally beaten no one. I like Brian Stann, but beating him shouldn't get anyone a title shot, especially if it's an uneventful decision. If you want to see what being screwed over looks like look no further than Johny Hendricks. You can be damn sure that Bisping would have been given a title shot by now if he had half the big wins Hendricks has. Hendricks is fighting his fourth top 10 opponent in a row to finally get his shot. Bisping has had 3 #1 contender fights and he just picked up his first top 10 win. How delusional can you be?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!

The Turntable iPhone Dock - bringing two audio favorites together in one device
Article Summary
For many of us, the digital age has resigned our vinyl collection to gather dust in the corner. There are already numerous devices which offer to convert and clean up the crackly sounds coming through the stylus, so why bother with another flavor? Rather than having to load converted files onto my laptop and then onto my MP3 player or phone, the Turntable iPhone Dock would cut out the middle man altogether and transfer encoded files onto the horizontally-docked iPhone.

From what I've seen and experienced with the pre-releases, this is the easiest and most polished release out of this project.
Phoronix: Ubuntu 7.10 Now Available For Download
Right on time, Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" has been released. From the number of articles we've had on Ubuntu 7.10 during its development cycle, Gutsy Gibbon is certainly an interesting creation and is definitely worth checking out both on the desktop and server.
From what I've seen and experienced with the pre-releases, this is the easiest and most polished release out of this project.
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 however when I tried the non-free selection for ATI driver it failed and left me with a blank screen.
I was able to successfully get flgrx to install however by using kanotix's ATI driver script.
kudo's to Kano for his excellent script and his distro.
Further testing, the fglrx does not work, only the radeon vesa, I have a ATI1300 pro with 512mb ram and 2.6.22-14-generic #1 S
Ubuntu kernel. I might add that kano's script on kanotix thorhammer rc6 worked with the ATI1300 and 8.41.7 driver but not with
Ubuntu 7.10 go figure.
Last edited by wirechief; 10-20-2007 at 09:31 AM.
I'm trying it out right now and it seems pretty good, FGLRX works, as always for me. Its got some nice little improvements. Besides the under the hood improvements, there isn't much that I've noticed. Except fast user switching was brought in. And now its auto created Music, Videos, Documents and Pictures directories too.
But other than that, I haven't seen anything really distro specific thats been done here, but it is a very solid distro and seems pretty stable. Probably the best thing they did was have Compiz Fusion out of the box. Although I don't know if its just me, but it also seems a little more responsive than the last version of Ubuntu.
The only bad thing I can say about Ubuntu is that the update servers have been pretty slow but thats not their fault really, its just so popular and so many people are trying to upgrade/download stuff right now.
Last edited by Malikith; 10-19-2007 at 11:28 AM.
Well, I had the ATI driver working under kanotix so I copied it over to the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbons and replaced the non-working xorg.conf with the one from kanotix (it was created using kano's script for fglrx) and now fglrx is working. Before trying this though I followed the suggestions found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fi...esolutionHowto
they did not resolove the issue, it complained of missing a section #
when I added the fix's, all the commands worked and displayed the correct H and V freqs and they were listed in the xorg.conf that was not working, the only section that was not present was the monitor section and perhaps that is what was needed. again good on Kano for his great script.
From what i've seen, ubuntu is going on the right direction.

Resources for students post-Grinnell
Graduate School Information
Students interested in opportunities for post-graduate work will find it helpful to start at the CDO (http://new.grinnell.edu/about/offices-services/cdo/resources). The CDO offers general assistance with the planning and application process to graduate and professional schools. Most graduate and many professional schools require the GRE (http://www.ets.org/gre), while professional schools like business (http://www.lsac.org/) and law (http://www.gmac.com/gmac) require specialized tests. Information and rankings on graduate programs can be found at the US News Online (http://www.usnews.com/sections/rankings) and Petersons.com (http://www.petersons.com/), while a general listing of American colleges and universities is available here (http://www.clas.ufl.edu/au/).
Additional information about graduate work in Economics, Public Administration, Mathematical Finance, Business, and Law is provided below:
Graduate Study in Economics
Only a minority of Economics majors continue on in this discipline, but recent graduates have attended such prestigious schools as Columbia, Berkeley, Yale, Stanford, the University of Michigan, Duke, and others. Becoming a professional economist typically means getting a Ph.D. Virtually all well-reputed Ph.D. programs have a first year theory sequence that is heavily mathematical. There is a simple rule of thumb about that first year in graduate school: the more math you have had, the easier it will be. A year of calculus and a semester of linear algebra should be regarded as a bare minimum. Most Ph.D. programs strongly recommend work in real analysis (as covered in Math 316, Foundations of Analysis). Also, any student considering graduate study in economics should take both Econometrics (312) and Mathematical Economics (339). It would also make sense to include Math 335 and 336 in your program. General information about requirements for graduate school can be found on the AEA website (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AEA/students/GraduateStudy.htm).
Public Administration
Economics majors are often attracted to public policy and public administration programs. Graduates in these areas – usually with masters degrees – typically work in federal, state or local government. They are usually managers or administrators, but sometimes work in research.
Graduate study in public policy or public administration normally requires less quantitative training than economics, but intermediate theory courses will usually be required if you have not completed them as an undergraduate. Econometrics would likely prove useful. Also, courses related to operation of the government in the economy (e.g. Public Finance, Current State of the U.S. Economy) might be of special interest.
Mathematical Finance
This relatively new field provides an outlet for those with strong math and econ backgrounds who are interested in the financial industry. Issues addressed include budgeting, trading financial assets, borrowing, lending, insuring, hedging, diversifying, forecasting, and managing risk. Because the future cannot be known with certainty, financial economics deals with the impact of uncertainty in resource allocation.
Business and Law School
Probably the most common areas of graduate study among Economics majors are business and law. Many students are surprised to learn that neither business nor law schools have undergraduate course requirements. They accept students with all kinds of diverse backgrounds. Nevertheless, some courses in the Economic curriculum are especially useful in those disciplines. All business students must eventually take microeconomic theory (our ECN 280), in graduate school if not as an undergraduate. Microeconomics also comes up in law courses. Similarly, Financial and Managerial Accounting (286) and Corporate Finance (287) are useful to both law and business students.

What is the typical sequence of course for an Economics major?
The Office of Student Affairs has put together a sample 4 year plan for the Economics major. To view this sample 4 year plan, please click here.
Can I complete the Economics major and study abroad?
Absolutely. An Economics majors is enhanced by a global and international perspective on different economic institutions and growth patterns. The major is flexible enough that students can study abroad for one semester and still quite comfortably fit in the required 8 Economics courses for the major. While it is possible that students may count an off campus class towards the major (with prior departmental approval), students frequently use the off campus study as an opportunity to improve language proficiency and/or supplement their liberal arts education in other, non-Economic areas.
Why do I have to take a Math class and a History class to major in Economics?
Tackling economic issues and problems frequently requires a wide set of tools of analysis. The department, therefore, requires that students take classes (in addition to 8 Economics courses) in Mathematics and History. In mathematics, students are required to take either MAT 123/124 or MAT 131 to develop basic tools of differential calculus. Modern economics embraces an analytic foundation, and it is necessary that students are comfortable with basic calculus in the intermediate economics theory courses of Micro and Macro. In addition students need to take MAT 209 Applied Statistics to prepare for ECN 286 Econometrics. Increasingly, empirical analysis is an important tool of analysis, and MAT 209 and ECN 286 will prepare students to critically comment and analyze empirical issues.
In addition to Math courses, the department requires students to take a course in History. The functioning of an economy does not operate in a vacuum but rather depends heavily on economic and political institutions. The department has a list of approved History courses that offer an exploration of the development and changing nature of institutions that affect the ecomony.
How can I find an advisor in Economics?
Currently, there are over 80 students who major in Economics. Due to the large number of potential advisees and due to upcoming faculty leaves and sabbaticals, the department on occasion may limit the number of advisees of a given faculty member. Currently, the following members of the department are unable to accept advisees: Professor Graham, Professor Mutti, and Professor Stroup. It is best to e-mail a faculty member to set up an appointment to discuss establishing an advising relationship.
What are the requirements and procedures for applying for a MAP?
Mentored Advanced Projects (MAPs) entail a significant amount of work for both students and faculty. In the field of Economics, a worthy MAP proposal is only possible after a student has completed, at a minimum, the intermediate theory courses (Microeconomics and Macroeconomics) and an advanced tools course. As MAP proposals are likely to entail some empirical analysis, it is extremely helpful if students have completed the Econometrics course. Finally, a certain level of proficiency by the student and the faculty member of the proposed MAP topic is required. For faculty, this will frequently occur in the area of a faculty member's senior seminar; for students, this will occur after the student has taken advanced courses in the topic area (in the field of Economics and/or other, related fields). Students who are interested in undertaking a MAP should talk with their advisor in their sophomore year and should have all required course work done by the end of their junior year. MAP proposals are individually arranged by a student and a faculty member.
Does the department accept AP credit toward the major?
The department recognizes that accomplishments of students who have AP credit in Economics. Since Introduction to Economics here at Grinnell covers both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, the department requires that students have AP credit in both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics. If a student has scored a 4 in both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, the department will waive the Introduction to Economics course requirement of the major. Students who have credit in one AP exams may not waive the Intro requirement; these students will need to enroll and complete the Introduction to Economics course. Any AP credit earned counts toward the total, 124 units required for graduation; however, the AP credits do not count toward the 32 units in Economics required of all majors.
How are enrollments in senior seminar classes allocated?
The department views the seminar experience as an important component of the Economics major. To facilitate an in-depth discussion of research papers and the completion of an independent research project in this class, the department limits course enrollments in all seminars to twelve students. The department allocates spots in seminars approximately two weeks before the pre-registration period. A member of department will poll all rising Juniors and Senior majors with (i) with their seminar preference, (ii) their preparation for enrollment in a seminar, and (iii) other commitments that may conflict with enrollment in a given seminar. Balancing these needs and the resource constraints of the department, students are allocated to a senior seminar. While the department cannot guarantee that every students will get their first seminar choice in each semester, in the recent past the department has been successful in meeting students' desires over the two senior seminar allocations.

Obama Works On Creating A Housing Crisis Part 2
The housing crisis that tanked the economy at the end of the Bush Administration was created by Congress. Congress wrote the rules in a way that almost forced banks to make risky loans. That led to an over-expansion of the housing market and that, combined with a large number of defaults, caused the housing bubble to pop. That's when the derivatives helped spread the problem world wide, but of course, if Congress hadn't engineered the disaster in the first place so they could run campaign commercials bragging about how many Americans had homes, there would have been no problem to spread.
Barack Obama, being Barack Obama — which means he has learned nothing and forgotten nothing — is repeating the exact same mistakes that caused the housing market to implode in the first place.
Added Allison, who now heads the Cato Institute: "The default rates on these low-income loans are extraordinarily high."
Still, the Obama administration wants banks to step up approval of such low-income mortgages. And it's using the CRA to spur more lending, including:
– Forcing banks through threat of prosecution to expand their CRA assessment areas to include inner-city areas blighted by subprime foreclosures, where they are compelled to invest in new brick and mortar.
Many banks, in fact, are under direct federal orders to open new branches or ATMs in high-risk and unprofitable areas of Detroit, St. Louis and other cities hit hardest by the recession.
"If your assessment area looks like something you can eat – a bagel or is crescent shaped – that should be a red flag for your bank," senior Department of Justice official Tom Perez warned bankers serving areas mainly outside the inner city."DOJ wants banks to have a physical presence in the inner city," Washington-based Buckley Sandler LLP recently told clients, adding that "banks should carefully monitor loan data to determine whether an appropriate volume of loan originations emanate from minority areas."
– Ordering bank defendants accused of lending bias to underwrite riskier CRA loans at discounted rates.
For instance, Justice has ordered First United Security Bank of Alabama to "ensure that residential and CRA small business loan products are made available and marketed in majority African-American census tracts," while offered on terms "more advantageous to the applicant" than normal.…Using the threat of CRA "noncompliance" and denial of expansion plans to pressure bank defendants into settling "fair lending" cases, while scaring other banks into lending in low-income minority areas where the banks aren't located.
"Regulators have now said that banks will not be permitted to proceed with any expansion if they are the target of these pending DOJ actions," complained Independent Community Bankers of America President Camden Fine in a 2011 letter to Attorney General Eric Holder.
– Pressuring banks to fund HUD's new $7 billion Neighborhood Stabilization Program to earn CRA credits under a new "community development" test.
This is mind-numbingly stupid and terrible for the country, but short term, it may help Barack Obama for the same reasons the policy was pushed in the first place. "Oooh, look there's more demand for homes! Wow, more people are buying homes!"
Yet, it'll probably take awhile for the whole house of cards to collapse; so by the time it causes another economic meltdown, Obama will be out of office. It's the ultimate in cynicism and no responsible person who cares about his country would support this policy after seeing what the last mortgage crisis did to the country. But, it isn't about what's good for the country with liberals like Obama. Never has been, never will be.

The author, an otherwise-intelligent chap, blunders badly when he says:
"Unfortunately, the need to avoid interference continues to influence the way spectrum is allocated. This was as much a myth in Marconi's day as it is now. The whistling noises heard on a radio and the echo of adjacent stations are not the result of some phenomenon of physics. They are caused simply by the failure of the receiving equipment to process the signal properly. Try moving the antenna, or replacing it with a better one, to prove that it is the processing, not some law of nature, that affects reception."
Interference has never been a myth. In the absence of noise, man-made or natural, there is infinite bandwidth.
Channel spacings and guard bands are determined partly on economic grounds. Particularly in the broadcast world (many receivers, few transmitters) it pays to optimize for low-cost receiver. A highly-selective receiver would allow more-dense channel-packing, but would also push up the cost of our mobile devices.
This may be worth doing, but let's not just wave our hands and pretend physics doesn't exist. Adjacent-channel effects cannot be ignored.
But, dear author, you are otherwise an amiable and literate chap, so don't feel too bad about this one good.

NL Central favorites head into Round II in St. Louis
Red-hot Wainwright starts for Cards in opener against Reds' Latos
Round two between the two consensus favorites in the National League Central begins on Monday night as the Reds open a three-game series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
St. Louis took the first round, beating Cincinnati two out of three times in another home series, April 8-10.
The Cardinals are coming off consecutive losses to the Pirates, whom they now trail by a half-game in the division. They remain a game ahead of the Brewers and Reds, who won on Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep in Washington.
St. Louis will have its ace on the mound, as the red-hot Adam Wainwright faces off with Mat Latos.
Wainwright (4-1, 1.93 ERA) didn't pitch in the teams' previous series. He owns a 4.29 career ERA against the Reds, including 5.29 over three starts last season.
The right-hander has been dominant in his first five starts. Although he issued his first walk of the year on Tuesday, he gave up only five hits and struck out nine over 8 1/3 scoreless innings. Wainwright's strikeout-to-walk ratio now stands at 37-to-1.
"He's doing everything you could ask," manager Mike Matheny said. "It's great to see him go through the lineup three and four times and see him pitch them differently in the fourth at-bat than he did the first one, completely different with guys on base than when they're leading off an nobody's on. He and [catcher Yadier Molina] have been working well together, but Adam really has a good feel for all his pitches. When that happens, he's exciting to watch."
Latos (1-0, 2.16) also has been stellar, although a pair of blown saves have helped keep his record modest. The righty is 5-for-5 in quality starts, including seven scoreless innings against the Cubs in his last outing, when he allowed only four hits despite saying that he "didn't have anything."
"I had a four-seamer and a two-seamer, [that] was all I had today. It was tough," Latos said. "Everybody in the big leagues can hit a fastball. It was just a matter of hitting my spots and being able to make key pitches when I needed to."
Latos went six innings against the Cardinals on April 8 and gave up four runs, only one earned, in six innings.
Reds: Heisey dealing with hamstring problem
• Left fielder Chris Heisey did not play on Sunday, a day after leaving the game with a strained right hamstring. Xavier Paul got the start, even against against lefty Ross Detwiler.
The Reds already are playing without outfielder Ryan Ludwick, who is out until at least July after undergoing shoulder surgery.
• Center fielder Shin-Soo Choo began the season by reaching base safely at least once in each of his first 22 games. That streak ended on Friday, but Choo has been back on base in both of his two games since.
Cardinals: Carpenter doesn't miss start
• Matt Carpenter left Saturday's game in the ninth inning after feeling some tightness in his side but received treatment and was cleared for action on Sunday, when he hit leadoff and played second base. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout.
"I felt good, so I'm back in there," Carpenter said before the game. "Obviously, I felt something [on Saturday], and it was an awkward swing. I was stretching the rest of the game, but I didn't think it was anything serious. I felt pretty good about it."
• Center fielder Jon Jay should be back in the lineup on Monday after sitting out against Pirates lefty Jeff Locke on Sunday. Jay, who later came off the bench and drew a walk, is 4-for-8 over his last four games following an 0-for-19 skid.
Worth noting
• Since the start of the 2003 season, the Cardinals are 23-3-2 in the series against the Reds in St. Louis.
• Latos' 10.23 ERA in five starts at Busch Stadium is his highest at any park where he has pitched more than once.
• Current Reds have combined for a .519 OPS in 119 plate appearances against Wainwright. That includes a 1-for-17 mark by Joey Votto.

text: 1/96 D&E Skipjack kit with 3" D&E WTC and electronics purchased from from "Atomic Subs". Includes a speed controller, failsafe, and pitch controller as shown in the photos. Also includes a "Deep Sea Designs" Skipjack drawing, a 7.2V nicad battery, and a brass propellor upgrade. All cast resin and white metal fittings are also included. Everything in this package is brand new and unused. This is a perfect "beginners kit", as all stern linkages and WTC cradles were pre-installed and the hull is already primed for painting. Many holes are already opened-up, the indexing lips are installed, and the upper and lower hull halves are pre-joined, minimal work will be required to get this sub in the water. The kit also includes a comprehensive instruction booklet detailing how to assemble, paint, trim, operate, and adjust the model. Just add your radio and some propel and you are ready to go. Please note that when I received the kit, there was a small crack in the upper hull near the attachment screw. I applied some CA to the area to prevent further damage, but a layer of glass cloth, some "Evercoat ", and some minor sanding will be required to properly reinforce and repair the crack. The last two photos show the crack, it is hairline and ~1-1/8" long and resulted in flaking of the primer next to the screw hole. The rest of the kit and contents are in "mint" condition. Asking $600.00 plus shipping. Paypal accepted.
