Padres 6, Yankees 3
The New York Yankees could be losing shortstop Derek Jeter again - to yet another leg injury.
An MRI exam revealed that Jeter has a strained right calf, the latest setback in a year already full of injuries for the team captain. The Yankees hope to know more about his condition before Monday night's game at the Chicago White Sox.
''Who knows?'' Jeter said when asked if he'd be shut down again. ''I'm tired of trying to speculate. It's frustrating, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
''It's been terrible, like a nightmare,'' he added after the Yankees' 6-3 loss to San Diego on Sunday. ''The whole season's been a nightmare, so I really don't know what to tell you. I wish that wasn't the case, we were sitting here talking about something other than injuries. We'll see what happens. I have no idea.''
Jeter, 38, didn't play Saturday or Sunday against the Padres.
''The odd thing is there was no play where it happened,'' Jeter said. ''Usually, you feel it in a particular play, but I didn't feel it in any particular play. We got to L.A., I started to feel it Monday night, Tuesday on the off day after Sunday's game.
''It's different because when I did it last time, I felt it. I was running to first base, and I felt it. This time I didn't feel anything when I was playing. It was later on that night, the next day. So I can't pinpoint when it happened. I don't know when it happened. Maybe adrenaline got me through it. Anything would be speculation (if) I try to figure out when I did it.''
It did appear that Jeter took an awkward step while making a play in Friday night's 7-2 loss to San Diego. He also had an awkward slide into third base.
In announcing Jeter's latest injury, manager Joe Girardi said: ''I can't tell you what that means or what we're going to do with him. I'm not sure what we're going to do considering where we are at this point of the year.''
Asked before the game if he's concerned that Jeter keeps getting hurt, the manager said: ''I think that if he had a normal spring training and he wasn't coming off an injury like he did, I don't think these things would be happening. My guess is next year will be different, but only time will tell.
''Could it happen again?'' Girardi said. ''Yeah something could happen, because we're at that time of year where we can't really afford to say, `Take 25 days.' You can't do that.''
Is the injury part of Jeter still favoring the left ankle he broke in last season's AL championship series?
''You're asking me to play doctor or God, which is even harder. I can't do that,'' Girardi said.
Girardi doesn't know if the new injury came about because of a strained right quadriceps that landed Jeter on the disabled list from July 12 until being activated last Sunday.
Jeter is hitting .211 (4 for 19) with one home run and two RBIs.
The Yankees got only 2 2-3 innings from Phil Hughes on Sunday and lost to Ian Kennedy in his Padres debut.
''It's frustrating,'' Girardi said. ''We had a chance to win the series and didn't. We're going to have to if we're going to play in October.''
The Yankees are a season-worst 9 1/2 games out of first place in the AL East and 4 1/2 out in the race for the second wild-card spot.
''There's still a lot of time. The teams in front we're going to play a lot, but you don't' want to dig yourself a big hole,'' Girardi said.
Hughes (4-10) had his second-shortest outing of the season, allowing five runs and six hits while striking out one and walking one.
The Southern California native got through the first inning unscathed but was roughed up in the second and third innings. He allowed singles to Will Venable and Chris Denorfia opening the second before Mark Kotsay hit a sacrifice fly. He then walked Nick Hundley before Kennedy sacrificed ahead of Everth Cabrera's two-run single.
Hughes again put on the first two batters in the third, allowing a single to Alexi Amarista and walking Chase Headley, and again, both scored. Denorfia hit a sacrifice fly and Kotsay hit an RBI single with two outs, chasing Hughes.
''He couldn't put people away,'' Girardi said. ''The bottom line is, he didn't make pitches when he had to.''
Hughes, who's 0-3 in his last five starts, agreed.
''I blew an opportunity there in the second to get an out, two outs, and it comes down to not making quality pitches when I had to,'' he said. ''There were runners in scoring position and a lot of long counts and just a battle the entire time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to execute a couple of big pitches with two outs.''
It was the sixth time this season he's gone four innings or fewer.
NOTES: Yankees RHP Michael Pineda came out of his start with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday night with shoulder stiffness, and Girardi said he will be evaluated by doctors this week. Coming off April 2012 surgery to repair a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder, Pineda is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 10 minor league starts this year. ... The Yankees open a three-game series at the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, with LHP Andy Pettitte (7-8, 4.28 ERA) scheduled to oppose LHP Jose Quintana (5-3, 3.62).

Thanks markarch. Yeah, I was thinking about using black electrical tape, too. I think it would look really good as the deicing boots on the leading edge....the real ones are kind of rubbery, too. As Burt mentioned, I'd need to be careful with stretching it too much, and it does tend to be kind of on the thick and heavy side. Probably won't use it for the invasions strips. |

Based on what I've read about EPO form, it's practically the next best thing to Teflon....nothing sticks to it. I tried sanding, priming, alcohol rubs, Krylon Fusion, Regular Krylon, Enamels, Lacquers, Water Based, etc, etc. It all rubs off eventually. Short of sheathing it in some sort of fabric/polymer mix as others have done, it's pretty difficult to get any kind of paint to permanently adhere to this stuff. In the end, I took a short cut. Instead of priming and painting the whole plane first, and then trying to mask off the white stripes, I simply masked off the white stripes directly on the unpainted plane using 1" blue painters tape. 1" happens to be the perfect scale width of each invasion stripe, so all I had to do was layout one piece of tape on each end, directly onto the unpainted wing and one in the center to form the 5 stripes. I ended up with a 5" wide area which runs from the beginning of the wing taper, to the inboard ailerons...just like the real plane. I sprayed black over the masking tape to produce all 5 invastion stripes at once. Then, I masked off that area and painted the rest of the wing. For me, that ended up being the easiest solution since I didn't have to worry about masking directly onto any painted surface or having to mask over the entire airplane to paint the invasion stripes last. But man, that fuselage invasion stripes were another story! The combination of the tapering and radii near the tail was a lot more complicated than I had imagined. I must have spent several hours working on trying to layout the invasion stripes on the fuselage! Being a perfectionist, I just couldn't get them to lay down right. They either looked optically correct from all angles, but not straight, or straight, but not optically correct from all angles. If you were to slice through the tail vertically, the intersection is a 3D spline curve which doesn't unwrap straight. So I had to use multiple pieces of tape to approximate the compound curvature needed to give me what I was looking for. I don't know how you got your invasion stripes to look so good, Burt...especially using only a couple of pieces of tape, and knowing that you had to pretty much lay it down right the first time or risk pulling up the white paint underneath. But congratulations...I couldn't have done it that well. I finally finished painting this afternoon. I haven't even unmasked the invastion stripes yet. I'm going to let everything really dry and hopefully give it time to fully set. I'll be out of town for a week, so I'll save the unmasking for when I return. I'm really looking forward to seeing those invasion strips pop out from behind the masking tape, and then finishing up the decals. Stay tuned! |

Dynam DC3 Unequal engine power
Hey, first post... I noticed some people talking about the motors on the DC3 pushing unequally... For people having that trouble, have you tried re-linking your motors to your throttle stick? that fixed it for me, so they were syncronized, and now even with the wobbly un-steerable tail wheel, my DC3 goes straight on takeoff. I've been making a runway at my local gravel field by using a snow shovel, and i can go straight along it tip to tip!
around the 6 minute ish point in this video, he shows how to sync them up! http://www.youtube.com/user/nitropla...26/hGaDtCDn2ec let me know if that helps anyone ! ? ! |

"pholosis" your pretty late on the issue lol, i already resolved it with Bladehead and all the others, the way tony showed in the video is not correct, all that does is turn Off/On the brake feature.
back on page 55 you can see my post on the ESC programming. |
pholosis welcome to the discussion! Ya we've really hashed over that ESC issue, but thanks for jumping in on it anyway! We need more Skybus video in here so if you do shoot vids of your plane, by all means post it.

Here's a video that I found for programming the Dynam 40amp ESC. The link to the other video that was posted earlier in this thread on page 54 doesn't seem to be working anymore.
In the video, he has a heli, but it's the same programming process for the ESC's that come with the 4 channel 2.4Ghz Dynam "Skybus" transmitter/receiver. |
I've been following this thread since it began; and I don't have a page 55. Probably because I have my default set to 100 posts per page. Could you give us the actual post number of yours that you are refering to? Thanks, Bob Quote:

Muir Mathieson
James Muir Mathieson (24 January 1911 – 2 August 1975) was a Scottish conductor and composer. Mathieson was almost always described as a "Musical Director" on a large number of British films.
Mathieson was born in Stirling, Scotland in 1911. After attending Stirling High School, he went to the Royal College of Music in London. In the 1930s he became head of the music department for Alexander Korda at Denham Film Studios; Mathieson being one of only three heads of Departments at London Films who were British.[1] His first work was as an uncredited Musical Assistant on the 1933 film, The Private Life of Henry VIII.[2]
Mathieson told Korda that he did not wish to be a composer but wished to choose first rate composers and arrange and conduct their scores.[3] Composer James Bernard called him the "Tsar of music for British films. If you wanted to write music for films at that time you had to be 'in' with Muir".[4] Mathieson wanted to show the world Great Britain had composers of renown and "wanted to see British musical genius exploited throughout the world and recognised by other countries.[5]
During his wartime service with the Ministry of Information, Mathieson is credited with commissioning film scores from Arthur Bliss, William Walton, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Malcolm Arnold. Jointly with the composer of the score for the 1953 film Genevieve - the harmonica player Larry Adler - Mathieson was nominated for an Academy Award, in his capacity as Musical Director. Under fierce pressure from the House Un-American Activities Committee, the composer's name was reluctantly omitted from the list of nominees. Mathieson's name as Musical Director (not as composer) went forward. Many years later, Adler's name as composer was restored to the list by the Academy.
Mathieson was also musical director on films with scores composed by others, most notably on Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo in 1958, where he conducted Bernard Herrmann's score, later releasing an album of the music with the Sinfonia of London. In the year of Vertigo alone he is credited with musical directorship of 28 films. Overall he is said to have conducted the music for over a thousand British films. Due to the requirements of what constituted a British film for the Eady Levy, Mathieson's name was credited alongside non-English composers.
He married the ballet dancer Hermione Darnborough (1915–2010), whom he met in 1935 while conducting Hiawatha at the Royal Albert Hall in London.[6] They had four children, including the actress Fiona Mathieson (1951–87), also a student of composition. His father-in-law, William Nelson Darnborough, was a successful roulette player at Monte Carlo from 1904-11.
From the late 1960s until his death, he conducted the Oxfordshire County Youth Orchestra.
Mathieson was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in 1970. The day before he went for a throat operation, he conducted the Oxfordshire County Youth Orchestra. He never regained consciousness after the operation and died at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford on 2 August 1975.

Fitness: Have You Joined the Denver Track Club? [1]
When Will Seidel moved to Denver, he expected that the fitness-crazed city would have a track club. But a cursory Google search and a few postings on LetsRun.com [5] turned up nothing. "The run clubs in town are very supportive, but their focus is overwhelmingly on marathons and road racing, not track and definitely not mid-distance," Seidel says.
For a sport that has the highest participation in high school after football, track has a hard time finding a foothold after school. The joy of the post-collegiate track club—which Seidel and I found out after running together on New York's Central Park Track Club [6]—is not in its intensity, but the fact that it's an inherently communal sport. Even a recreational masters runner can participate to a high level with an elite 800-meter runner in training. And an eight-hour track meet is a quick way to bond.
So, Seidel had no other option but to start the Denver Track Club [7]. His email list includes about 25 people who show up semi-regularly to do twice-weekly workouts like 200 repeats at the South High School track near Washington Park or hill repeats in the Highlands. It's a mix of mid-distance and long distance runners—more guys than girls at this point—and Seidel's goal is to eventually make Denver Track Club a destination team for NCAA talent and become competitive on the national level. The United States is cranking out an unbelievable number of mid-distance talent and Seidel sees no reason why we can't bring them here. But, in the end, his goal for each athlete is to perform their best. No matter what level. No matter what age.
To help, he's enlisted the coaching prowess of James Hatch, a former University of Arkansas 800-meter runner and All-American, to draft the workouts and whip the group into shape. A group he hopes will continue to grow in both post-collegiate and masters-level runners. Track, he believes, is a sport people don't know they're missing. And it's a nice respite from the rigors of endurance training. "To me, I've never understood the attraction of a marathon," Seidel says. "I will spend the rest of my life trying to run the 800 as fast as I can. I want to do a lot of things in my life, but the window to run your fastest time is a small one. I'm faster in the 400 and 200 than I ever been. For me, that's motivation."

Chris, Some grey pipe was involved in a suit. Most of the problems were in the plastic fittings with Polybutelene pipe. Polybutelene pipe is a soft plastic pipe. I don't recommend it. |

L.s. I have a Siemens Nixdorf RM200. I am trying to get the stuff booted with milo and the dummy vmlinux. But first I seem to need the NT firmware loaded in my RM200 boot memory, could you refer me to the guys who had their RM200 up and running with linux ? I have 3 friends/colleagues who have a RM200 as well and would love to have Linux running on their boxes. (We got the RM200's as they were replaced by windoze NT machines damn damn, but they will suit our purposes if we get linux up and running to a certain degree 8-) Thanks in advance, Wiebe Wiersema

Raj Rajaratnam
Not since the mid-1980s has an insider-trading scandal grabbed such widespread attention. Wiretap evidence had Rajaratnam, a Sri Lanka-born hedge fund manager, chatting with insiders about trading in companies such as eBay, Intel and Goldman Sachs. He was convicted of conspiracy and securities fraud and sentenced to 11 years in prison. One of the men accused of passing information to Rajaratnam is Rajat Gupta, former head of McKinsey

Robert Dreyfuss
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014) |
Robert Dreyfuss is a foreign policy and defense writer for The Nation magazine.[1] His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The Diplomat, Mother Jones, The American Prospect, TomPaine.com, and other progressive publications.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dreyfuss was Middle East Intelligence director of the Executive Intelligence Review, the flagship journal of the Lyndon LaRouche movement.[2][3] In the 1990s Dreyfuss wrote on intelligence issues and foreign affairs, and profiled a number of organizations and public figures, including then governor of Texas, George W. Bush, and senators Trent Lott and John McCain. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, he has written about the War on Terrorism and the Iraq War.
Hostage to Khomeini[edit]
His 1981 book, Hostage to Khomeini, was commissioned by Lyndon LaRouche. In the book Robert Dreyfuss provides a detailed explanation of why the Carter administration was fooled into supporting the Khomeini revolutionaries but Khomeini backstabbed the US after the Shah was brought to the US for treatment. The book discusses how various officials in the Carter administration believed that an Islamic Iran could export the Islamic revolution to the Soviet Muslims and cause a break-up of the Soviet Union. Dreyfuss accused Cyrus Hashemi of being a CIA and Mossad agent. Cyrus Hashemi subsequently sued Dreyfuss and Lyndon Larouche.
"The book presents the Iranian Revolution not as a movement of millions against a hated dictatorship, but rather as a vast conspiracy orchestrated from within the Carter administration, in collaboration with British, Israeli and even Soviet intelligence."[1]
The Devil's Game[edit]
The Devil's Game, published in 2005, is an analysis on the how the United States and United Kingdom used Islamists as a powerful weapon against Communists and nationalists in the Arab and non-Arab Muslim world. He believes that the US labelled any nations leaders who were unwilling to work with the US as Communists. Dreyfuss asserts that the Muslim Brotherhood is historically connected with the CIA and other western intelligence services. He also claims the CIA and the West used the Muslim Brotherhood in an attempt to overthrow President Nasser of Egypt because he nationalized the Suez Canal and kicked many US and European companies out of Egypt. The book makes claims that the Israelis used the Muslim Brotherhood in 1982 in an unsuccessful attempt to destroy President Assad of Syria during the uprisings in Homs and Hama. Lastly Dreyfuss covers the CIA and British backed 1953 Iranian coup d'état.

Hooking-Up After 60 is an engaging book that pulls the reader into it with the humor and pathos of growing older. The chapters are filled with fun, touching, and challenging information.
The anecdotes from Dr. Vieira's own life and from the lives of other people add credence to the material and make the content come alive in a real and fascinating manner. Every imaginable aspect of deciding whether or not to date, to remarry or not, the hilarity of a first date, sex after 60 and community living is under scrutiny. The reader is given a humorous list of the contrasts between being young and old, between moving from one set of rules, expectations, and circumstances to a different set.
For example, instead of women having to remove hair from their underarms and legs, now that's gone with age, and women have to remove hair from their chins. Whereas an individual might have wanted to lose five pounds in the past, now it's fifteen. There's a better chance of losing your keys now than your pounds. When you are younger, you hope your kids get married; when you are older, you hope they stay married. The whole list of "Maintenance Phase" operations is hilarious because it is so perfectly right-on.
Positive and the negative sides of each issue are given with real life anecdotes. Examples of how different people have handled their grief and their ability, or lack of ability, to move on. Examples, cartoons, and narrative insights all show the reader how different people experience being alone, and how differently they deal with the problems they face in confronting a new future. All the elements, including the jokes, drawings, and photos, weave together to create a clever connection to the process of getting older.
The reader will be interested in such insights as the fact that people who experience happy marriages are less likely to grieve long and have a quicker recovery than those whose marriages had been full of stress and turmoil. It almost seems paradoxical, and yet, it makes sense that the unhappiness carries over into the next part of a man's or woman's life. These kinds of observations, brought to the reader's attention, have the potential to strike home in a gentle, prodding way, and could very well be the springboard for some deep-searching soul to spark a change of attitude or lay the seeds for creating a completely different kind of future.
A lot of excellent advice is given for those who feel stuck in their isolated lives. Moving into the dating scene after sixty begins a whole new amusing and poignant phase. The advice sections give solid tips to the reader, not only for the safety of the daters, but also offering practical means for making the most of dates. The many anecdotes add to the authenticity of the material, showing how individuals deal with real-life events, including choosing to Internet date or finding other ways to meet people. Bringing the foibles and mistakes of others to the reader's attention creates a kind of encouragement and support, that the reader is not alone in the strange, scary, unpredictable world of dating.
The last chapter explores how to adapt to living with a new partner whose ways and habits may be intriguing or shocking. The statistics of people living together and the pros and cons of getting married or staying unmarried is smoothly weaved together. Family relationships, including children and grandchildren, can make a serious impact on budding new relationships. Some families encourage their single parents to date and find a new partner, while others are more possessive, offended by one parent's apparent disloyalty to the original partner, and/or fearful of losing their parent's babysitting routines, attention, money, gifts, and inheritances.
The issues of aging are brought to the fore in a fun, humorous, enlightening way.
All the statistics, true stories, and relevant jokes and cartoons most appropriately and humorously reveal the process of aging and the issues and challenges we all must face if we live long enough!

Turbomachinery • Combustor • Flow Physics • Heat Transfer Data Acquisition
Turbomachinery Facilities Eleven turbomachinery facilities and laboratories are located in the ERB. Fundamental and applied research to advance compressor and turbine component technology for aeronautical gas turbine engines is conducted in the facilities. Both axial- and radial-type machinery are studied. Research is focused on improved understanding of steady and unsteady aerodynamics, flow physics, and modeling and advanced numerical flow code development and validation. Research experiments utilize advanced instrumentation systems such as hot-wire anemometry and laser diagnostics where detailed flow data is obtained on a nonintrusive basis.
Top Combustor Facilities There are fifteen combustor and aerochemistry technology test facilities and laboratories within the ERB. Fundamental and applied research is aimed at advancing the technology of the combustion processes of aeronautical gas turbine engines and advanced space transportation concepts. Research is focused on providing improved understanding of chemical kinetics of reacting flows, heat transfer phenomena, advanced high-temperature materials, low NOx combustion, and code development and validation.
Top Flow Physics Facilities Eight aerodynamic flow physics technology facilities are located in the ERB. These facilities are used to conduct research advancing the understanding of subsonic-to-supersonic flow physics phenomena fundamental to ducted wall-bound flows. Research involves the development, assessment, and application of computational fluid dynamics tools for ducted flows, and for the acquisition and analysis of experimental measurements of flows in inlets, ducts, and nozzles. Typically, testing is performed to define basic flow properties, to predict and validate component performance, and to investigate specific phenomena including shock systems, boundary layers, bleeds, diffusion, separated flows, heat transfer, cooling, spillage, acoustics, and stability.
Top Heat Transfer Technology Six aeropropulsion heat transfer technology facilities are located in the ERB. These facilities provide testing capability for experiments to advance fundamental understanding of the heat transfer process and to contribute to the predictive capability for heat transfer in aeronautical and space propulsion systems. Research in these facilities centers on gas turbine-related heat transfer with special emphasis placed on gas path aero/heat transfer.
Top Data Acquisition The ERB facility consists of many different test cells. The test cells are categorized into four broad areas: Turbomachinery, Flow Physics, Combustors, and Heat Transfer. The test cells in each look at different aspects of these areas. However, the data acquisition system in each test cell consists of two basic components, which are the same for all test cells – an analog steady state acquisition system and a pressure measurement system. In addition, a portable transient data acquisition system can be provided upon request.
Escort can stand alone to meet all secure test requirements or it can be connected to a central processing cluster, which facilitates software application development, downloading of software, uploading and storage of facility tables, post processing of data and transmitting of data to a data collector for archival storage. Please see the Test Cell (listed below) you are interested in to find out the unique characteristics of the Escort system in that test cell.

Jean Muir CBE, FCSD | |
Born | London, England |
17 July 1928
Died | 28 May 1995 | (aged 66)
Nationality | British |
Education | Bedford Girls' Modern School |
Occupation | Fashion designer |
Awards | CBE, FCSD |
Labels | Jean Muir Ltd |
Jean Elizabeth Muir, CBE, FCSD (17 July 1928 – 28 May 1995) was a British fashion designer (though she herself preferred to be called a dressmaker[1]).
Early life and career[edit]
Jean Muir was born in London, the daughter of Cyril Muir, a draper's floor superintendent, and his wife, Phyllis Coy. Her father was an Aberdonian, and Muir would attribute her creative pragmatism and self-discipline to this Scottish ancestry.[2] Her parents separated while she was still a child, and she and her brother Christopher were brought up in Bedford by their mother.
She was educated at the Bedford Girls' Modern School (subsequently renamed Dame Alice Harpur School, and as of 2010, merged into the Bedford Girls' School). While she was not academically outstanding, she showed a precocious talent for needlework, claiming to have been able to knit, embroider, and sew by the age of six.[2]
At the age of seventeen, she left school and went to work at an electoral registration office at Bedford Town Hall. She then moved to London, where she worked briefly in a solicitor's office before taking a stockroom job at Liberty & Co in 1950. She worked her way upwards to selling over the counter, and then despite her lack of formal art college training, was given the opportunity to sketch in Liberty's ready to wear department. This would serve as her apprenticeship, and led to her gaining a job as designer for Jaeger in 1956.[3] While there, she helped develop the Young Jaeger fashion label.[4]
Jane & Jane (1962–1966)[edit]
Upon leaving Jaeger, Muir was approached by David Barnes, a mass-market jersey dress manufacturer, who was keen to have her talents on board as a designer for his brand. Muir declined, as she did not wish to design for the mass market.[2] Undeterred, Barnes offered to fund her own design label, and so Jane & Jane launched in 1962.[5]
In 1964, Jean Muir won the first of her three Dress Of The Year awards for a Jane & Jane dress in printed Liberty silk, which is preserved as part of the Dress Of The Year collection at the Fashion Museum, Bath.
From the outset, Muir's designs demonstrated the pared-down understatement and easy fit that would become her design signature. Jane & Jane was one of the first companies to bring couture standards and quality to the wholesale fashion industry.[5] Muir used Liberty textiles in many of her designs.[6]
After Muir left in 1966 to launch Jean Muir Ltd., the Jane & Jane brand was sold to the ready-to-wear fashion house Susan Small, where it continued for several years before quietly disappearing circa 1970.[7]
Jean Muir Ltd. (1966–2007)[edit]
Jean Muir Ltd. was founded in August 1966 by Jean Muir and her husband Harry Leuckert in partnership. The first collection was presented in October.[4]
The designs continued the tradition established at Jane & Jane. Muir used the best quality fabrics, working in silk, cashmere, jersey and crepe, with a focus on form and fluidity. She made coats and jackets from soft leather and supple suede. Muir rarely used printed textiles, and avoided unnecessary decoration. Where she used decoration, it was integral to the garment, such as pintucking, decorative but functional buttons or rows of parallel topstitching on cuffs or collars for reinforcement.[8] During the 1980s, Muir sometimes decorated clothing with sequins.[7]
Muir's designs were aimed towards the woman with a mature outlook, regardless of age. She avoided creating clothes for fantasy figures, but focused on modern, restrained elegance. She ignored the fads of high fashion design, but focused on creating a consistently evolving series of understated, sober clothes. She was a sensualist who cared about how her clothes felt to wear as well as how they looked to others. Muir placed pockets at hip level to encourage the wearer to hold her shoulders back confidently. She eliminated bust darts as she preferred to mould fabric rather than cut it. Her designs were intended to fit into a limited and integrated wardrobe, and to avoid distracting the wearer.[7]
Despite being known to posterity almost exclusively for black dresses, her eye for colour was very definite. She favoured dark and deep blues, very dark greens, and heather-toned purples as well as intensely bright orange and deep saffron yellow. She was a perfectionist about her colours, working closely with fabric mills and dyers to achieve her ideal tones.[7]
Muir has been described as bringing common sense to clothing design to the pitch of genius.[7] Jane Mulvagh describes Muir clothes as being comfortable and effortless, and, "once donned, easily forgotten by the wearer but never the beholder."[7]
Following her 1964 win whilst at Jane & Jane, Muir went on to win the Dress Of The Year award twice more. She won in 1968 for a ruffled white voile dress with black polka dots, and in 1979 for an ensemble comprising a black rayon jersey beret and dress worn with a black leather jacket. As with her 1964 design, these outfits are preserved at the Fashion Museum, Bath.
From 1985, the majority interest in Jean Muir Ltd. was held by the textile manufacturer Coats PLC. Muir regained ownership in 1989.
Muir was made a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers, and was a recipient of the Minerva Medal, the Society's highest award.
In 1984, she was awarded a CBE.
The company continued despite Jean Muir's death in 1995. Leuckert continued his directorship, while the designs were produced under the supervision of Joyce Fenton-Douglas and a group of four designers who had all formerly worked with Muir.
In 2004, the first Jean Muir Ltd. shop was opened on Conduit Street, London. It was managed by Leuckert's daughter Friederike.
On 19 January 2007, the directors announced that Jean Muir Ltd. would be closing down. Leuckert made a statement to the effect that he had hoped that they could take the retail route based on the success of the Conduit Street shop. This required substantial outside investment, but they had not been able to come to any agreement with interested parties. He further said:
- "It is sad, but I believe this is the way Jean would have wanted it. I have, of course, had offers, but I do not want Jean's name to fall into the wrong hands and be mis-used. That would be horrendous and she would have hated it."[9]
The Jean Muir shop continued to trade, stocking the final collection for Spring/Summer 2007, before it closed down for good.
Celebrity clients and admirers[edit]
The actress Joanna Lumley was Muir's first house model, and became a muse, close friend and loyal customer. She was often photographed modelling Muir's designs in the fashion press. Other well-known Muir clients included Lauren Bacall, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Charlotte Rampling, Julie Walters, Joan Plowright, Dr. Miriam Stoppard and Patricia Hodge.[9]
In 1967, Muir provided Eleanor Bron's wardrobe for the 1967 film Bedazzled. She did wardrobe for only one other film, Betrayal, in 1983.
Her designs were also worn by public figures such as the author and historian Lady Antonia Fraser and the publisher Carmen Callil.[7]
Jean Muir's clothing is also popular with a younger generation. In 2006, Sienna Miller's favourite piece of clothing was a vintage Muir purple suede cape.[1] Other fans of vintage Muir include Kate Moss and Stella McCartney.[1]

Personal life[edit]
Jean Muir had a discreet but complicated private life. In 1955, she married a German actor, Harry Leuckert, with whom she co-founded Jean Muir Ltd. and lived in London and Lorbottle Hall near Alnwick in Northumberland. Their marriage was unconventional, described by Leuckert as "wonderful and loving, but never singular".[10] In 1976, Leuckert fathered a daughter, Friederike, with another woman. His wife was aware of this, and Leuckert continued to live with her whilst paying regular visits to his daughter and her mother, Ingrid, in Germany. According to Friederike, this was normal:
- "People find that hard to believe, but Miss Muir knew about it, my mother knew about it and I knew about it. Nothing was hidden, but nor was it public".[10]
Leuckert married Ingrid following the death of his wife. Friederike went on to become manager of the flagship Jean Muir shop in London when it opened in 2004.[10]
Death and legacy[edit]
Jean Muir died in 1995, aged 67, at the London Clinic, of breast cancer.[3] She was buried at St Bartholomew's Church in Whittingham, Northumberland. At the funeral, by request of the deceased, her friends all wore black with white flowers.
She had kept her terminal illness secret from even close friends, working right up to the end. Shortly before her death, she began fundraising for the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Her husband and Jean Muir Ltd. continued the work begun, and pledged money in her memory, as did many of her personal friends and loyal customers. In recognition of her work, the Museum's Silver Room is dedicated to Jean Muir, while Jean Muir Ltd is named upon the founder's stone at the Museum entrance.
In 2005, Leuckert donated Jean Muir's archive collection of her fashion and accessory designs to the National Museums of Scotland. A special exhibition on Muir's design career opened on 7 November 2008 at the Museum.[11]

LEED-built hotel opens in Michigan
| January 14, 2009 |
The Hyatt hotel chain just opened it's first LEED-built hotel in Wyoming, Michigan. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and if you're in the commercial building business or subcontract to a general contractor in commercial building, take note.
In a nutshell, the LEED program is a series of credits you earn by choosing environmentally friendly alternatives in the building process. Most of the credits go toward energy-related items, but you can rack up significant points by recycling asphalt and construction debris, and using things like porous pavements and biodiesel.
The points aren't just for feel-good purposes. With them your clients may be able to lower their building operating costs and reap tax advantages and preferential treatment in bids. We anticipate the requirement for LEED design to grow significantly in future government work. For more on how the LEED program works check out the website of the U.S. Green Building Council.

View Public Comments for CED Public Solicitation
Bocchino, Carmella
America's Health Insurance Plans
Expansion of the evidence base through rigorous research on the safety, effectiveness and value of new technologies, biologics and pharmacological products is critical to ensuring that patients receive the most effective and appropriate treatments. CMS' CED policy was created to provide access to promising but unproven therapies within a framework designed to collect evidence and inform future coverage policy. In order to maximize the effectiveness of CED, we recommend three modifications. First, there should be additional clarity provided regarding the evidentiary threshold needed to invoke CED. Without a clear and transparent evidentiary standard by which items and services will be judged eligible for CED, there is a risk that new technologies with only very preliminary evidence of effectiveness may be considered for coverage under CED's Coverage with Study Participation (CSP) track. The establishment of clear and rigorous criteria for when CED should be used will result in research with more useful, definitive results. Second, we recommend that CED rely on qualified clinical trials, as defined in CMS' Clinical Trial Policy, when it determines that an item or service be covered as long as it is provided within a research setting where additional data can be collected in the context of clinical care. Qualified clinical trials have the scientific rigor and control that better enable them to generate the evidence necessary to make definitive judgments as to whether an item or service meets the evidentiary standards for reasonable and necessary. These trials should be focused on addressing safety and efficacy so that usable information is collected and applied to the coverage determination process. Third, we recommend that CMS provide a clearer pathway for the reassessment of coverage decisions upon completion of CED. Timeframes, procedures and evidentiary thresholds should be specified so that the process for evaluating and incorporating the data collected into coverage determinations is clear and transparent. Resulting coverage decisions should be disseminated along with information on the evidence that led to the decision and the accompanying rationale.

Poinsettia not sole option for expressing holiday cheer
Poinsettias are the No. 1 potted floral crop in the United States with $242 million in sales last year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The annual influx
of poinsettias has come to local garden centers and supermarkets. If you are looking for some holiday cheer, you can purchase a poinsettia but know that there are other options for holiday plants.
If you want flowering plants, Christmas cactus has made a comeback in recent years. These succulents produce red, white and pink flowers. Their popularity around the holidays draws from their photoperiodic response to flowering. Like poinsettias, these plants bloom when the days are short and nights get longer. That makes their natural flowering during the winter months.
Ask the Garden Pro Q. My plumeria are still growing but I was told to put them up for the winter. Do I have to bring them in and do I have to remove all of the leaves? A. For most people, Id recommend playing it safe and bringing them in for the winter. Some Padre Island residents have left their plants in the ground, but they risk damage to the growing tips. You could wait until we have a frost warning for your area to bring in potted plumeria, but if temperatures drop more than expected, the plumeria could be damaged. As for the leaves, if you are going to bring them in for any length of time this winter, stop watering the plants and remove the leaves. Although you can pick off individual leaves, Plumeria Society members have found better results with cutting the wide part of the leaf off and leaving the petiole (where the leaf attaches to the stem) to fall off on its own. Removing leaves will help the plant go dormant and prevent a mess and possible diseases later when the leaves fall naturally. Send questions to Michael Womack at email@example.com or Ask the
Garden Pro, 710 East Main St., Suite 1, Robstown, 78380. |
Kalanchoes are another good option for Christmas color. Kalanchoes will continue blooming for several months with additional flowers opening on the flower stalks.
Kalanchoes also come in many colors now, not just the traditional red. Yellow, pink, and purple have been around for many years, but white is a relative newcomer on the market and a great decorating option for Christmas decorating.
The red kalanchoes can be planted in your yard with flowers expected each winter. Other colors will do better if kept potted, but if you want them to bloom in future years, make sure they are located in an area away from patio or security lights next fall.
Cyclamen are another good flower for the holidays. They can be used as a bedding plant but also are a great, inexpensive option for indoor flowers. Individual plants are nice on a side table or even in a windowsill. A grouping of three will provide a splash of color inside.
Flowering plants are not the only option. Garden centers market several green plants in holiday forms.
Needlepoint ivy is found during the Christmas season as a pseudo-topiary. It is reminiscent of holly due to its small, pointed, elegant leaves. It easily grows around wires or sphagnum moss-covered forms to make wreaths and tree shapes.
Norfolk Island Pine is another old favorite used for tabletop Christmas trees. After the season, they can remain potted or can be planted in yards.
Back to the poinsettia
But if you'd prefer the traditional poinsettia, remember to pick a plant that is the right size, since it won't grow any more before the holidays.
Also select a healthy plant so that it will thrive during the holidays. Look for one that has strong stems. Broken branches are a sign of brittle plants. For blossoms that last longer, look for tight yellow centers.
FINAL survival TIPS
Whatever you decide to buy, all of these holiday plants will do best if placed in bright, but indirect light while inside. Plants need light to make food, and keeping potted plants in low-light areas slowly starves them.
No matter which one you select, make sure you poke holes in the plastic or foil wrapping. If your plant is in a basket or a plastic pot cover, then empty the saucer or pot cover after each watering.

Justice is divine More than legal writ, justice is based on God's laws.
Justice is divine. Longed for by millions bereft of its sacred balance, justice brings to the world of men the
harmony of God. As a looking-glass reflects the image of man, so does justice reflect the nature of the divine. The
measure of the lawlessness of the time is known by the degree of injustice in the world, & today, injustice
stalks the poor on every hand. Legally, justice rules the field of social regulation, of crime & punishment, but fundamentally justice has
to do with the laws of God, which work towards harmony & correct relationship. Every injustice, however small,
brings disharmony to the whole. Today, so great are the areas of injustice in every land that extraordinary measures
are required to prevent total chaos. Injustice is a denial of man's divine potential; it separates man from man and humanity from God. Throughout the
world, many are struggling to free themselves from age-long injustice, exploitation & tyranny; to set down at
last the yoke carried by their forebears. We, the watching Hierarchy, commend their struggle, for we see it as the
expression of the divine sparks in all men, yearning for freedom & justice. We give them our hand as we gaze
with compassion on their plight. There are those who would deny that all men have equal rights to a share of God's providence. Those who argue
thus have listened only to the voice of the separated self, forgetting that naught that they have & hold but
comes to them from God. When men take heed of the voice of God within them they find in sharing & justice the
only answer to man's ills. Today, more & more, that voice of the inner God is being heard. On all sides are arising spokesmen for the
dispossessed. The clamor for justice is growing and soon will swell into a crescendo of sound, drowning out the
cries for caution which issue from the representatives of the past. How can there be two worlds when the world is One? How can there be division when the law is the same for all
men? Presently, men will understand that the suffering of the many is the illness of the whole, & that justice
alone will provide the cure. Aid provides but half the answer, though aid is essential now. Justice must blossom
fully in the garden of men's hearts & so set all men free. Justice creates the conditions in which man can know himself as God. Linked to his brother by love, he can take
boldly in his hands his future & fashion it according to the blueprint of God. Many desire that future now,
blessed as they are with the vision of the whole, yet naught but work & effort will bring it into being, through
the manifestation of justice, love & joy. Remember as you move towards the future that no one takes these steps alone. As brothers, all, must men proceed
along the pathway that leads directly to the source. From that very source does justice emanate, relating men in
harmony & love. |

How Do You Feel - Wand at LT and Pitts at LG?

Rep Power:
Remember that this move is not final. Changes that occur in the spring don't always hold up after a few weeks of training camp. The promotion of Wand to starting left tackle and the move of Pitts to left guard could be looked at several different ways:
1. The coaches think this is the best lineup.
2. The coaches are rewarding Wand for hard work and improvement.
3. The coaches are trying to light a fire under Milford Brown.
Remember that a lot of lineup changes before the summer are meant as motivational tools. This could just be the coaching staff's way of motivating somebody into doing something. It could be that the staff wants to see how Wand will hold up during exhibition games. If Pitts needs to return to left tackle, he could easily make the adjustment after a couple of preseason games.
I personally think that the coaching staff is making this move because of a combination of all three motives I mentioned above. They see Wand as being the left tackle of the future and would like to see how he would work out, and to see how Pitts would be as a guard. They also want to reward Wand for his hard work by showing confidence in him, and if they end up moving Pitts back to left tackle they will make it clear to Wand that he is the left tackle of the future, just not the present. Also, they want to light a fire under Brown/Weary/Washington to compete for the left guard spot and show that the position isn't a weakness that needs to be addressed by moving Pitts.

In this paper, we will describe a number of research projects at Napier University on pedestrian tracking. This work started with systems based on ordinary cameras working at visible wavelengths. This work has expanded to include infrared imaging systems (of varying resolutions). Recently, combinations of visible and infrared systems have been used, and we have been collaborating with Irisys (Infrared Integrated Systems Ltd.) to develop tracking systems that can accurately measure the trajectories of pedestrians in real time.
