Anyone tried DFunk's Speed Wax?
DFunks Speed Wax
I went to SnoCon today to pick up some graphite wax and the tune guy turned me on to this stuff. Supposedly made for Stevens Pass and all the Cascade Concrete snow we get around here. Was told it was faster than graphite. Just stripped off the old wax from mine, my wife's, and my son's boards. Put this stuff on and we are going up tomorrow. Would love to know in advance how it rides. I am committed at this point, so either way, I will find out. :D:D:D:D |
IIRC it's more expensive than a basic all temp, it's good wax though. You don't really need either with our conditions right now, it really excels in sticky spring conditions. That being said it's a good all around wax and great in the spring and slush. I found it had much better staying power compared to straight graphite wax.
Word. I am going to test it out tomorrow but conditions this year so far haven't been all that wet. Hoping that the forecast is true and we get a bit over night.
The techs at Snocon use just a bit of it on the edges and cheaper wax in the middle. I got some and tried that and it worked pretty damn good. Of course by the time I ran the iron over it pretty much mixed in with the other warm/all temp wax.
After a few waxes with it I've noticed you need less of the DFunk. |
Reminds me of the T2 liquid metal when melting.
^^^ Yeah it is just like that huh. I was tripped out when ironing it in because of the color. It rides good though. It seems to stick to the board well too.
They claim it's cheaper, but I'm not seeing how. It's $12 for a 1.5oz puck. Conversely you can buy fluorinated waxes for much cheaper such as 4oz of OBJ X-Wax for $18 and 4.5oz of Dakine Indy or OBJ Viper for $15.
I'd love to support a local company and try it out, but can't justify it at that price. They also sell a bigger 10oz brick, but also couldn't find myself paying that much and committing to that much quantity without at least trying it first. |
I do like it, but I'm to poor for it to be an everyday wax. I got mine from the shop guys at SnoCon they cut me off a couple oz for $6 or so, that way I could try it out.
picked up a 4oz brick for $24 at snocon today after talking to the tech. We'll see how it does in the wettish spring snow we have tomorrow up at stevens.
So what's kind of wax should I get for 55F spring conditions? Like what should I be looking for... Flourinated? Graphite?
The guy at the shop said the fluoride picks up dirt/oil easily so I need graphite on top of that...? He also said something about one of those costing like $100 for a quarter-sized puck. |

Pakistan has broken ground on what will be the country's largest civil nuclear power plant, which is being built with help from China.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif performed the ground breaking ceremony in the southern city of Karachi on Tuesday. He said the plant will take 72 months to complete and will produce 2,200 megawatts of electricity.
Critics have said that China's assistance to Pakistan would violate non-proliferation agreements. China has said the deal would be carried out in line with "international obligations" and subject to international safeguards and supervision.
Pakistan is desperately in need of additional electricity since the country currently faces rolling blackouts. The nuclear deal with China represents a continuation of the strong alliance between the two countries.

I'm sorry I haven't updated much. This time of year my brain chemistry tends to crash and burn, and it takes almost everything I have to find a stable, quiet place.
I'm seeking that place, and yes, it's in God. That's one thing I've learned after all these years. I'm safe in God, and when my own fragile mind fails me, I can dig deeper, to a place of the heart that has bypassed the minds darkened window. It is in finding that heart space, and taking refuge there, that prepares me for the biggest surprise at all.
What is it, you ask? Why it's having the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ becomes accessible, when my own mind gives way to it. So, that I can glory in nothing but the fact that in some small way, in this time, I am decreasing, so that He can increase.
If you don't see me, know that I am safe with the Beloved, and He, like love, never fails.
I made so many beds in hell they thought I was the chambermaid down there. Psalm 139:8

dc.description.abstract | The size of cheilostome bryozoan zooids has been widely discussed for its potential in inferring palaeotemperatures, based on correlations between zooid size and temperature. Studies in both the natural environment and under experimental laboratory conditions have shown that an increase in temperature significantly decreases zooid size in a range of bryozoan taxa. In order to test the effect of temperature on zooid size, the cheilostome bryozoan Cryptosula pallasiana was for the first time successfully cultured under laboratory conditions. C. pallasiana was grown at 14 °C and 18 °C using Rhodomonas sp. as a food organism. Zooid size, tentacle number and growth rate were measured over a period of 26 days. For comparison, zooids from colonies of C. pallasiana collected from the natural environment were measured in winter and summer months. Results showed that colonies grown in laboratory culture had significantly longer and wider zooids at 14 °C than at 18 °C. The specific growth rate of C. pallasiana doubled from 14 °C to 18 °C. Comparison of tentacle number in culture showed a significantly higher value at lower temperatures. This may be related to differing food availability, longer polypide life spans, or a shift of energy use at colder temperatures. In nature the zooids were significantly longer in colonies sampled in July than in January, a clear difference from laboratory results. The utility of cheilostome Bryozoa as indicators of environmental change and their potential for studies of paleotemperature are highlighted. | en |

Recipe by bmatheson
"A one-dish casserole with all of your Sunday morning favorites."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package bulk breakfast sausage
1 green onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package hash brown potatoes
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 (2.64 ounce) package country gravy mix
paprika, or to taste (optional)
I made this recipe for dinner tonight and my family and I loved it! I didn't use the green peppers or paprika and all I had was sharp cheddar cheese but it was delicious just the same.
I made this today. MMMmm If I make this again, I would add 1-2 more eggs. I would slightly fry the hash browns before I used them to brown & crunch them. I cut down the milk to 3/4 cup, and used a bit of Frank's hot sauce to the eggs. I may even use a little bacon and short the sausage. I did make it in a smaller deeper pyrex dish with higher sides. Therefore it did take longer to cook it.

This was very easy to put together. I did omit the onion only because my kids refuse to eat it. The country gravy packet really added flavor to it. My packet was about half the size it called for, it may have been a little overpowering if I had added another one. This was a great recipe, one I will make again! Thank you for a great breakfast!
This is a GREAT recipe. Very easy to prepare and everyone loved it! I put the layers together the night before, then added the egg mixture and baked it in the morning. Changes: Used 8 eggs instead of 6 Used 9 x 13 casserole dish Used pre cooked, packaged breakfast sausage Covered with foil for first 40 minutes, then removed foil so it could brown a little
This was a hit at the office. The only changes I made, after reading the reviews, were I used 8 eggs, about 3/4 of the gravy powder, and covered it with foil 50 minutes of the hour. I prepared everything, except the egg mixture, the night before and baked it the following morning for an hour with foil on top for all but the last 10 minutes. Sooo yummy!
Love the flavor, but the cheese on top got very hard in the hour it took to cook. I'd rather have the cheese ooey and gooey instead of hard and chewy as it turned out. I think next time I will only add the cheese at about 20 minutes left to cook. I'll definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I lightened it up by using turkey sausage, low fat sharp cheddar and mozzarella, and egg beaters. I didn't have green onions, so I cooked some white onions and garlic with the sausage. Topped with fresh rosemary and covered with foil the last half of baking. Everyone loved our breakfast for dinner! I will be making this one again!
This was great! Like others, I left out the green onions because we have some picky eaters in the house, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The recipe doesn't specify, but you should definitely make sure to thaw the hash browns before putting them in the casserole.

Presumably, this is why my roommate and I have not been able to share podcasts, either? Well, I'll give it a try when my roommate gets home.
Share videos with iTunes 6.0.2
I've tried this process with some Handbrake converted videos (h.264 MPEG-4s) and it did not work. It only started working when I hinted the movies using QuickTime. (video passthru, audio passthru, enable streaming export options).

I haven't been able to get my episodes of DL.tv to stream. I re-added them after I updated 6.0.2 and are encoded in H.264. The few movies I have that are encoded as regular MOV files (like old Quicktime trailers) are able to stream without problem.
Share videos with iTunes 6.0.2
Anyone know where there is a list of format requirements? Troubleshooting which videos work seems a bit senseless. Of 8 videos tested, only the video created for iPod works (also full screen, very poor quality).
Doh! Mp4 - M4v- Mov and hinting
I should have tried drebes hinting tip first. (Sorry.) I guess Mp4 and M4v files do the hinting automatically. Anyway, drebes is right. The original, large .mov files I tried merely needed hinting with QuickTime Pro (Export > Movie to Hinted Movie).
Share videos with iTunes 6.0.2
Actually, about videos aquired thru iTunes, I just imported ONE of the 40+ videos not showing upp and suddenly ALL showed up. It is as if iTunes rebuilt the video export database or something.

Thank You drebes. I did just like you said, and videos that would not previously play via a shared library now work perfectly. It was driving me crazy, but it seems everything is right for the holiday season! |

An Introduction to Methods and Models in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology |
ADDITIONAL REVIEWS: "The most enjoyable aspect of this book is that it is a true teaching guide. The authors expose students to quantitative methods using a very hands-on approach. This approach ensures students feel more comfortable with data analysis and quantitative methods, while also aiding them to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A wealth of personal experience as a student and teacher has obviously gone into the creation of this book, and I would highly recommend it to educators dealing with components of this text"--.Brad J. Farmilo, Austral Ecology ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "Braude and Low combine approaches and methodologies from ecology, evolution, and behavior, and emphasize quantitative exercises. Most other books that I'm familiar with are largely focused on either ecology or evolution. It makes sense to me to combine all of this material under a single cover. I can't think of another book like this one."--Jonathan Shurin, University of British Columbia "A very worthwhile contribution. The authors expose students to quantitative methods using a very hands-on approach. The exercises increase students' comfort with data analysis and quantitative methods while also helping them to develop independent critical thinking and practical problem-solving skills. I do not know of any other textbook that offers this approach in evolution and ecology."--Suzanne H. Alonzo, Yale University "This book is designed to teach basic ecological methods to undergraduates using a series of interactive exercises. It promotes real learning as opposed to memorization. It is a significant contribution to the field."--Susan L. Keen, University of California, Davis "This is an interesting and even entertaining book of lab and field exercises that represent a wealth of personal experience in teaching the essentials of ecology and evolutionary theory, as well as the basics of the scientific method, study design, and analysis. The book includes many gems."--David K. Skelly, Yale University File created: 2/4/2015 | |

A similar bronze of a birdcatcher, with a 'Lanthorne in his left hand' was among the fifteen statuettes, by Pietro Tacca after models by Giambologna, that were presented in 1612 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to Henry, Prince of Wales. After Henry's early death these bronzes passed to Charles I whose enthusiasm for collecting works of art may have been stimulated by his elder brother.

the Most Realistic GMAT(R) Practice Test Offered by Any Test Prep Provider Aspiring MBAs Get Valuable Realistic Test Center Experience NEW YORK, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Students preparing for the Graduate Management Admission Test with Kaplan will be able to take a practice exam in a Pearson Professional Center, the network of test centers that will administer the actual GMAT(R) exam beginning in January 2006, thanks to a new exclusive agreement between Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions and Pearson VUE. Under the terms of the agreement, Kaplan's GMAT(R) students can take the "Ultimate Practice Test" -- a practice exam in the same testing environment as the actual GMAT(R) so they can experience a dry run under true test day conditions. Kaplan has offered the Ultimate Practice Test since August, 2004, through a previous partnership.* Kaplan, the largest provider of test preparation for the GMAT(R), is the only test prep provider that enables GMAT(R) test takers to practice in the actual testing facility. Test takers have a chance to experience their exam environment in advance -- test center location, computer setup, lighting, seating arrangement, security procedures, room layout, etc. -- and know what to expect on test day. The Ultimate Practice Test will now be available to Kaplan students in North America, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, London and Paris. "We're pleased to partner with Pearson VUE to provide our students with the distinct competitive advantage of The Ultimate Practice Test. Familiarity with the testing environment can help combat anxiety and breed confidence, which is vital to test day success," said Susan Kaplan, director of business programs for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. "The Ultimate Practice Test removes the unknown from the equation for test day so students are able to focus on the exam itself." The Ultimate Practice Test is provided to Kaplan's GMAT(R) students at no extra cost as part of Kaplan's GMAT(R) classroom, tutoring and premium online prep options. The in-center test will be administered as one of the eight practice computer adaptive tests that are included in the Kaplan program. Kaplan offers complete preparation for GMAT(R) test takers. Kaplan's GMAT(R) course gives prospective business school students extensive practice with eight online computer adaptive tests that simulate the GMAT(R), and an online study center that includes over 100 online workshops and quizzes. Students receive instruction from highly trained experts, exclusive test-taking strategies and a tailored, performance-based study plan. The Kaplan GMAT(R) course also features high quality study materials including a comprehensive course book, extensive online materials and new advanced content for those targeting 700+ on the GMAT(R). Kaplan prepares tens of thousands of would-be MBAs annually. For more on the Ultimate Practice Test, tips on taking computer adaptive tests and information on upcoming free practice tests and business school admissions events around the country, go to http://www.kaptest.com/business. * The Graduate Management Admission Council(R) is neither involved nor endorses this arrangement in any way.

Parent(s) | David Jeffries (1714–1784) and Sarah Jaffrey Jeffries (of 13, 3 with Sarah and 10 with Hannah)[1] |
John Jeffries (5 February 1744 – 16 September 1819)[2][3] was a Boston physician, scientist, and a military surgeon with the British Army in Nova Scotia and New York during the American Revolution.
Born in Boston, Jeffries graduated from Harvard College and obtained his medical degree at the University of Aberdeen. He is best known for accompanying Jean-Pierre Blanchard on his 1785 balloon flight across the English Channel. Dr. Jeffries also played a large role in the trial for the Boston Massacre as a witness for the defense.[4] He was the surgeon for Patrick Carr,[5] who was one of the Americans shot during that incident.
Jeffries is also credited with being among America's first weather observers. He began taking daily weather measurements in 1774 in Boston, as well as taking weather observations in a balloon over London in 1784. National Weatherperson's Day is celebrated in his honor on 5 February, his birthday.[6] The Archives and Special Collections at Amherst College holds a collection of his papers, including a letter he dropped from the balloon during his historic flight, considered the oldest piece of airmail in existence.[7]
He lived in England from 1776 to 1790. Despite being named in the Massachusetts Banishment Act, he returned to private practice in Boston, staying there until his death in 1819. His son John Jeffries II (1796-1876) was an ophthalmic surgeon and co-founded the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary.

Grampian 23 vs ?
View Single Post
Senior Member
Join Date: May 2002
Posts: 743
Thanks: 19
Thanked 8 Times in 7 Posts
Rep Power:
The Grampian was a good quality boat. If it has no soft spots on the deck, then I would say its a good buy. Your "cons" are not big deals.
It will take less than a gallon to put on one coat of new bottom paint; less than two gallons if you need two coats. Assuming you will be using ablative multi-season paint (highly recommended), at about $150/gallon, its not a big cost. That stuff can be put right on top of any existing paint; no bottom job needed.
Roller furling for a boat that size will run about $500 for the unit/foil, and another couple of hundred maybe to modify your existing sail. Some units may require that you replace the headstay if the length of the existing stay can't be adjusted to accomodate the furling unit; you may need a new, shorter, stay installed. This is the single best upgrade for single or shorthanded sailing you can do.
Outboard engines on small sailboats are a crapshoot; if well-maintained, they can last for twenty years. Often, these types of engines get very light use. If I put 20 hours/season on my engine, that's a lot. I only use it to get in and out of the marina and out to the harbor. Two strokes have few moving parts to wear out and are more tolerant of mistakes and less than stellar maintenance than their four stroke cousins. You will find many people who consider the two stroke engine to be a plus in this purchase.
No stove? Buy a Coleman camp stove for fifty bucks.
Other boats in this price range that should be available: the Oday 23 and 25; the Catalina 22 and 25.

Josh Harrellson suffers broken wrist, will be out more than six weeks
Jan 22, 2012, 9:12 AM EDT
As if the Knicks losing again, at home, to the Denver Nuggets with half their lineup from the past few years wasn't depressing enough, the Knicks suffered another loss Saturday night. The Knicks announced after the game that backup big man Josh Harrellson suffered a broken wrist on Saturday night and will miss six weeks after surgery, which has not yet been scheduled.
"Jorts," as he has come to be known to Knicks fans, was having a surprisingly productive season as a backup defender for the Knicks behind Tyson Chandler in front of Renaldo Balkman. The Knicks are in need of bigs and Harrellson provided them with a stretch big who could hit from range and attack the glass, as well as give the fouls that are needed. Without Harrellson, expect more Renaldo Balkman, Jared Jeffries, and Jerome Jordan. This also means more minutes for Tyson Chandler, which means more of a beating for a player that has dealt with injury issues in the past.
So basically, what we're saying is that the hits just keep on coming for the Knicks. Best of luck for Harrellson in his recovery and hopefully he can get back on the floor quickly for the Knicks after recovery.

I have a 1-131 chances to have a down syndrome child. I will be 42 when giving birth. I didn't choose to do the amino, just learning to deal. A new chapter of my life, I'll be happy no matter what.posted 07/08/2009 by makuprt
I am just letting you know that I did not have any of the tests done. Ultrasound soft markers were borderline for Down Syndrome. We decided that this child was ours to love no matter what. When she was born, she was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and we couldn't love her more. Children with DS are more typical than atypical, they just develop skills at a slower pace. You should research and learn a little bit about this population and should your child be born with this diagnosis, you will love him or her more and more with each passing moment!posted 06/09/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
The triple screen is not very accurate for women under 35, and for women 35 and older is still only 80% or less accurate. If you want to know for sure, have an amnio. There are plenty of times when absolutely no markers show up on US.posted 05/26/2009 by Sgsolis
I'm 37 first time prego ! I just got my blood results, all were normal except I was 1/105 for DS, well I'm not concerned ! I'm more concerned about the risks having an amnio, so we have decided not to do any more tests regarding this issue. We are going to have this baby whatever happens.posted 05/12/2009 by BEACHBABY101609
For those reading this and in a similar position, I want to give you my personal story. I had a 1 in 96 chance with my first baby and a 1 in 86 with my 2nd. In both cases, my HCG levels were nearly 4x the norm. Both had clear ultrasounds, and were born 'Normal'. This test is skewed to have false positives and avoid a false negative. See a genetic counselor or maternal fetal medicine specialist, but I don't recommend the amnio. It increases your chance for spontaneous miscarriage to about 1 in 200. That is WAY higher than your chances without the test. I ended up having an amnio at 38 weeks due to other complications, when it would be safe to deliver if we had to, and the test did send me into labor IMMEDIATELY. (at 19-22 weeks it's a miscarriage, at 37+ weeks it's labor) My son was born healthy. The bottom line is: these tests are scary but pretty inaccurate, and in all but the worst cases, downs syndrome isn't the end of the world.posted 04/21/2009 by 0402sgrl
you can't base what you need to do on someone else's resulets! Every pregnancyis different. I was told after my level two ultrasound that i had soft indicators. I didn not hae a quad screen performed, all they had to go off of was my age;29. I was told i had a 1 in 200 chance. I had the amnio. I'm hoping for the best and waiting on my results. You have to do what is best for you. For me, i need to know. Good luck.posted 03/13/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 39 yrs. old and I have 2 children under 3 1/2. I only had the NT screening for both. For my first child (son,) my chances of having a baby with down syndrome were 1 in 1,200. For my second child (daughter,) my chances were 1 in 800. Well, to my surprise, my daughter was born with down syndrome. We were shocked and devastated, but 18 months later, our daughter is the best thing that has ever happened to us. She is the light of our lives and teaches us every day about unconditional love. I chose not to have the amnio because doctors told me I had a higher chance of miscarrying than having a baby with DS. If I had known early on, things might have been different, but looking back now, I am so happy to have my little girl and would never change things. Don't be afraid of the unknown. If it happens to you and you are blessed to have a child with down syndrome, you really will be ok! Life throws you curve balls and you just never know what you can handle until it happens.posted 01/27/2009 by mcqueennyc
mine was 1 and 101 and I have a very healthy baby boy with down syndrome that I love to death and I am so happy I didnt risk his life with an amnio. I wouldnt change a thing. He is my world and has changed my life for the best. Oh yea I had bpps weekly and they didnt see any markers until he was born with the semi crease on his hand. He is beautiful and everyone comments on how cute he is everywhere we go. I was once were you guys were scared and thought that having a kid with down syndrome was the worst thing in the world. I am glad I got my son and not someone else. I am just happy he is alive.posted 11/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
okay ive been there in fact just this week i had a 1 in 70 chance of having trisomy 18 which is not a good thing i did the amnio and had the results in two days which were negative and we found out its a girl. what the doctors dont tell you when you do the blood draw is that 75% will come back positive for something. it stressed me out but the amnio was worth to have a 99 percent answer that everything was fine. you will be okay good luckposted 09/18/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband and I decided to go through the process of a NT scan. We didn't think anything would come of it since I'm only 26, but let me tell you how wrong we were! My NT scan had a reading of 8mm and we were told that we had a 1% chance of having a HEALTHY baby and that we may have to terminate- talk about terrified! So, we were given the option of having a CVS before our blood test results came back, so being so scared we decided to have the procedure done. Well, I was so nervous the morning of the CVS that I vomited in the hospital parking lot 3 times! The doctor decided to do the procedure abdominally-OUCH!!!! Not only was it painful, he had to do it twice due to the fact that he didn't get enough tissue! It truly was an awful and exhausting process. The day after this procedure I recieved the phone call that my blood test results were in and that I had a 1% chance for a baby with down syndrome- Oh, how things change! I'll get the results from the CVS next week- keep u postedposted 07/24/2008 by Littlelc05

Daniel Paul Tammet
Boy with the Incredible Brain
Daniel Tammet
A remarkable young man, exhibiting stunning mental abilities. Daniel Paul Tammet born 31 Jan 1979 claims to see colours and sparks, which he can somehow relate to words and numbers. Scientists consider him a gold mine to further investigation into the understanding of brain activity and potential.
Daniel claims that since the age of four, he has been able to do huge mathematical calculations in his head. So the makers of this documentary put him to the test, asking him to calculate 37 raised to the power of 4. He completed this in less than a minute, giving the correct answer of 1,874,161. While considering the question, it was observed that, he appeared to be drawing shapes on the table with his finger. When asked about this, he explained that he could see the numbers as shapes and colours in his mind. This breakdown or confusion of the senses is known as synethsesia.
Next he was asked to divide 13 by 97. This time the researchers had the answer to 32 decimal places, Daniel gave the answer and continued beyond 32. He claims he can do the calculations to 100 decimal places.
He appears to be doing the mathematical calculations without actually thinking about it, which seems preposterous, but if true, blows away scientific theory.
Daniel Tammet
Daniel's talents do not stop at numbers. He is very gifted with words and speaks nine languages and claims to be able to learn a new one in just seven days. To put this to the test, the documentary team shipped Daniel off to Iceland for a week. His Icelandic tutor described their language as immensely complex and considered it an impossibility for anyone to learn in only one week. Daniel Tammet was to appear on an Icelandic talk show at the end of his week to discuss his experience in their native tongue. Although he appeared to struggle to begin with, in the last few days his tutor said "He was like a sponge, absorbing all words and grammar at a phenomenal rate". He made his television appearance with great success.
In March of 2004 Daniel had his own surprise, in Oxford, England, he would recite the number Pi to 22,500 decimal places, in public in front of a team of invigilators to verify his accuracy. After just over five hours he had completed this extraordinary memory feat.
His childhood holds a clue to his unbelievable brain. As a small child he suffered a number of severe seizures which were later diagnosed as epilepsy. Ever since this time he has been able to see the patterns in numbers. While this is rare, there are other cases where individuals have suffered injury to the brain only to emerge with a similar startling talent. Orlando Serrill was just 10 years old when he was hit, hard, on the side of the head by a baseball. Since when, he has been able to recall the day, date and weather of every day since the accident.
The scientific community refer to people with these extraordinary memory skills as savants of which there are only a handful in the world. The condition is often associated with autism. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen a Cambridge University neuroscientist describes autism as a mix of ability and disability. However, Daniel displays the ability with no obvious sign of disability. Daniel, as a baby, cried constantly up until the age of two. He could only be soothed by being rocked in a blanket forming a hammock. Soothing by repetitious movement is, according to Prof. Baron-Cohen, indicative of autism. By most measures, Daniel is autistic but he has managed to develop the social skills to blend in.
Baby Daniel
Dane Buttino, another savant, displays phenomenal artistic skills, but his language and social skills remain child like. Unlike Dane, Daniel can describe what he is experiencing, making him very valuable to science.
Next in Daniel's travels is a trip to Salt Lake City to meet Kim Peek, probably the world's best known savant and the original Rain Man. Kim has a double photographic memory and can recall everything he has ever read. He speed reads by scanning opposing pages at the same time, one page with each eye.
We finish by visiting San Diego Center for Brain Studies where two very sceptical scientists, Shai Azoulai and Professor V.S. Ramachandran are going to put Daniel through his paces. As expected, his numeracy skills were flawless but the scientists are still not convinced. They don't believe he can relate coloured shapes to complex numbers so challenge him to make putty models of the shapes he sees for a given set of numbers. The following day, they ask the same to test the consistency of his shapes. Not surprisingly, Daniels excels and the scientists have to concede that they are amazed at what they have seen.

Infiltrating the upper echelons of Hamas came relatively easy for Yousef: He is the son of Hamas […]

Re: stark reminder about boxing
That was absolutely horrific and I almost wish I hadn't watched it.
I don't know what actually caused his death and we can't rule out that it wasn't strictly speaking caused by the blows he took in the fight. It is not that uncommon for athletes to have heart attacks or just collapse in all sports not just boxing, like Fabrice Muamba, and it may be a little bit too early to start blaming the ref or the Indonesian boxing authorities. Sometimes tragedies just happen that no one can see coming and this mau have been one of those. It is very difficult to defend morally a sport which is, ultimately, based on violent combat when tragedies like this happen but more often than not there is a mitigating factor which contributes to it. It certainly highlights why all boxers, amateur to pro, champion p4p to journeyman, deserve huge credit and respect for even stepping in the ring, especially when you think that so many of them are paid so little and treated so poorly by "fans" and by promoters and managers. |

ONE of the valuable properties of bone is that when it endures repeated stress it responds by becoming denser and stronger. A living material can do that. A non-living one cannot. It has no way of adding the extra matter needed to provide the extra density. But it would help engineers a lot if non-living stuff could at least stiffen in response to stress—and that may now be possible. Brent Carey, a graduate student at Rice University in Texas, thinks he has found a way to make it happen.
Mr Carey made his discovery when he was testing the properties of a material made of carbon nanotubes (cylinders of carbon atoms a few billionths of a metre across) and a rubbery polymer called polydimethylsiloxane. He created this composite by growing a forest of nanotubes using hot hydrocarbon gases and an iron catalyst, and then filling the space between the tubes with the polymer.
The surprise came when he discovered how his new material responded to repeated stress. He found this did not cause any of the damaging fatigue that would be expected. Indeed, his initial inspection suggested the stuff was actually growing stiffer. Fascinated by this result, he took his finding to his supervisor, Pulickel Ajayan, and they assembled a team to study the new material.
They gave the composite a real workout. They compressed it five times a second for a week. That caused its stiffness to increase by 12%. Moreover, the effect showed no sign of abating, which led them to suspect that if it were exposed to more stress it would grow stiffer still.
Why this happens is still a mystery. Mr Carey and his colleagues report in the American Chemical Society's journal Nano that heating the new material did not eliminate the response. This suggests that the self-stiffening is not the result of chemical changes in the polymer, which can usually be undone by heat.
The researchers do have one lead, though. Because of the regular alignment of the nanotubes, they were able to stress the material from various directions. They found that when the direction of stress was at right-angles to the tubes, it stiffened by 5.9%. When it was in the direction in which tubes were pointing, the increase was only 4.3%. What that means is still unclear, but it may be the key to understanding the phenomenon—and thus being able to replicate it with other ingredients.

VA Pulls Funding for Homeless Veteran Facility, Cites "Minimal Progress"
Published April 11th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - Just when ground was supposed to be broken on the homeless veterans housing complex in Gainesville, the project has suffered a serious setback. After five years and five deadline extensions, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is now planning to revoke its grant of nearly $2 million -- citing a lack of progress.
For years, the Alachua County Housing Authority has been trying to build a transitional housing complex that would assist homeless veterans in Gainesville. The total cost of the project is roughly $3 million, with housing officials raising about $1 million from fundraising. The VA agreed to cover the remaining costs through a $1.9 million grant.
But all that is in serious jeopardy after the VA sent a letter to the housing authority expressing their displeasure with the slow pace of the project, and pulling its grant money as a result.
Officials at the housing authority say the two agencies simply have different definitions of what they consider "progress."
"May 1 has been the deadline for substantial progress, but how do you define substantial progress," said Herbert Hernandez, the current executive director of the Alachua County Housing Authority, and the agency's third director in a year's time. "We define [progress] as 17 building permits and surveys in place, and ready for us to start the construction."
But that apparently wasn't good enough for officials at the VA, who say in the letter that they no longer consider the project to be viable.
The housing authority now has until May 10 to respond to the VA and explain why they still deserve the grant money. If the money is not awarded, Hernandez says the agency will be forced to seek funding from other sources, whether it be fundraising or another grant, just to keep the project moving forward.

"One of the misconceptions out there is that the current Medicaid program already covers low-income Missourians and that (the Affordable Care Act) expansion would expand the program to more middle-income Missourians," Ryan Barker, the vice president of health policy at Missouri Foundation for Health, said Monday night at a Medicaid forum.
The forum is one of eight forums that the nonpartisan organization is hosting around the state to educate people on Medicaid expansion created by the Affordable Care Act.
A court ruling last year gave states the option to expand their Medicaid programs. Missouri legislators are debating whether to accept the federal funding. The funding would cover 100 percent of Missouri's Medicaid program through 2016 and then lower the funding to 90 percent by 2020, Barker said.
The expansion would target two main groups: parents and childless adults. Individuals in these groups would be eligible for Medicaid if their income was 133 percent of the federal poverty level or below. For a family of two, this would be $20,628 annual income. Under the current Medicaid program, parents are only covered if their income is 18 percent of the federal poverty level, and childless adults are not covered at all.
"We're talking about low-wage workers who don't get any insurance at work, or they can't afford it," Barker said. "For the most part, these are working Missourians that are not eligible."
Barker encouraged participants to contact their state representatives, regardless of their position on the issue.
"What we hear in Jefferson City is that they are sick of all the lobbyists telling them they need to do this or that, but they want to hear from their communities back home," he said.
Sixty-five people signed up for the event, and about 45 people attended.
Chris Hartigan, a family nurse practitioner at the Family Health Center, said he attended the meeting to better educate himself on the topic. He said he sees a lot of people who are against the Affordable Care Act but who could benefit from Medicaid expansion.
"I think it is primarily emotional, and not imperial or data-driven, how people make their decisions, and this includes the legislature," Hartigan said. "I would hope that people could look at this more objectively."

If you are looking for a great audio experience and are willing to pay a little bit more than typical price. These headphones are open back, so if you are listening in noisy areas they loose alot of their ability, but in the same light the sound quality is excellent in quite areas. If you plan to buy these headphones then consider using them for home use where you can get to a quite area that you are willing to listen to pretty much just listen to music. Also these headphones are not for everyone, I say this for one simple reason : YOU HEAR EVERYTHING! Literally I was entranced when I first these headphones for a simple guitar riff. Since I play guitar I heard every little imperfection in the note played. But overall these are one of the best headphones that money can buy.
what the hell is a "quite" area? Do you mean "quiet"?
