This dissertation examines the ideological connections between schooling, mobility, and social difference among students in New Delhi. In it, I argue that educational mobility, especially with regard to English-language education, is an ideology which seems to offer a path to reduce social difference while in fact protecting it. I also argue that people who desire mobility engage in discursive practices which attempt to emphasize how their social positions are better than the ones they aspire to, a process I call discursive mobility. These discourses are inherently conflicted and contradictory, something I argue is characteristic of discursive responses to ideologies of educational mobility. Thus, I inquire into how different ideologies and discourses (dominant and subordinate) relating to social difference, education, and mobility interact, the prominent role of English in ideologies of education and mobility, and how the process of attempting mobility produces inherently contradictory ways of being.
This research was conducted in two government schools and one private school in New Delhi, using a number of methods including participant observation, surveys, interviews, group discussions, and matched guise technique. I describe the discursive contradictions that come from attempts at discursive mobility, how language is implicated in ideologies of educational mobility, how social ideologies of privilege affect schooling experiences and mobility possibilities, how students discursively respond to social difference, and how the discursive worlds of students in government and private schools differ.

October 30, 2013 | Vol. 100, No. 43
Sunday, following a dinner at church, one of my grandsons went over to the rotary dial phone that's in the church basement. Picking up the receiver, he asked, "How do you work this phone?"
His question took me by surprise and for a moment, I couldn't quite believe he didn't know how to use the phone. Then I realized that he'd never seen anyone use such a phone. For him, picking up a phone to make a call you simply push buttons. And that you even have a phone you can carry in your pocket or purse.
That led me to thinking about other changes that have taken place over the years.

To treat or not to treat euthyroid autoimmune disorder during pregnancy? | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19092255 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Subclinical autoimmune hypothyroidism during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and has a deleterious effect on fetal development. The aim of this study was to evaluate a screening and treatment strategy of subclinical hypothyroidism, and to establish normal ranges of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T(4)) during pregnancy. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out on 784 consecutive files of pregnant women; the files were systematically searched for thyroid function and antithyroid antibodies in order to determine the effect and the prevalence of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) during pregnancy, and to evaluate treatment with levothyroxin (LT(4)) in TPO-Ab carriers. RESULTS: Among the 75 TPO-Ab-positive patients, 42 received LT(4) treatment during pregnancy. Although the range of TSH serum levels was wide, the mean TSH level was significantly higher in TPO-Ab-positive women (3 vs. 1 mIU/l, p < 0.01). No significant difference in the obstetrical complications rate was observed between TPO-Ab-positive and TPO-Ab-negative populations. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides information on normal ranges of serum TSH and free T(4) for Belgian pregnant women receiving iodide supplementation. Based on our results, we suggest supplementation of TPO-Ab-positive pregnant women with 50 microg/day of LT(4), unless their TSH levels are lower than 1 mIU/l, to avoid the risk of hypothyroidism during pregnancy. |

Car hits wall in Walsall garden
A car veered off the road and smashed through a garden wall.
A Vauxhall Vectra knocked down the 7ft wall and skidded into the garden of the property on the corner of Vicarage Place and Bradford Street in Walsall.
Firefighters and police were called to the scene at around 8.15pm yesterday.
It is believed there was nobody in the property at the time of the crash and the driver was taken to Walsall Manor Hospital.
The car's bodywork was dented and the wall was this morning in pieces.
Firefighters from Walsall fire station attended and made the vehicle safe.
Watch commander John Haynes said: "The driver was lucky really because the wall had landed on the car."

Compression of 200GHz DWDM channelized TDM pulsed carrier from optically mode-locking WRC-FPLD Fiber Ring at 10 GHz
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 7, pp. 5526-5532 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (286 KB)
The compression of 200GHz DWDM channelized optically mode-locking WRC-FPLD fiber ring pulse of at 10 GHz is performed for high-capacity TDM application. To prevent temporal and spectral crosstalk, the duty-cycle of the DWDM channelized WRC-FPLD FL pulse needs to be shortened without broadening its linewidth. With dual-cavity configuration induced DWDM channelization, a shortest single-channel WRC-FPLD FL pulsewidth of 19 ps is generated, which can be linearly compensated to 10 ps and fifth-order soliton compressed to 1.4 ps. Under a maximum pulsewidth compression ratio up to 14 and a ±100m tolerance on compressing fiber length, the single-channel pulsewidth remains <2 ps (duty-cycle <2%) with spectral linewidth only broadening from 0.29 nm to 0.8 nm. In comparison, a typical SOAFL without intra-cavity TBF in fiber ring broadens its spectral linewidth from 2.4 to 3.8 nm after compressing its mode-locked pulsewidth from 21 to 2.1 ps. The duty-cycle of the DWDM channelized WRC-FPLD FL pulsed carrier is approaching 1% to satisfy at least 256 optical TDM channels.

Pardew under pressure ahead of Hull clash
Organisers from a campaign group called 'Sack Pardew' have staged a large-scale protest in and around St James's Park ahead of their match with Hull City.
The group say they will be distributing 30,000 leaflets and 100 banners from 10 pubs in Newcastle city centre. Tigers Manager Steve Bruce is one of the favourites to replace Pardew if he is sacked. It is the first time the two side's have met since Pardew head-butted Hull City's David Meyler last season.
Meyler forgives Pardew for head-butt
Hull City midfielder David Meyler said he will forgive Newcastle Manager Alan Pardew for head-butting him.
The two face each other for the first time since the incident and speaking in the Hull Daily Mail, Meyler said: "It was all forgotten about three minutes after it happened because we were 3-1 down against Newcastle.
"We weren't playing well and I was more disappointed about the result of the game to be thinking about anything else. He's apologised, it's forgotten about and we move on.
"We've just got to make sure we win Saturday and beat him and his side.
"What's the point of me dwelling on it? It's done, it's dusted.
"I come from a big GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) background, I played a lot of hurling and Gaelic football growing up as a kid and you used to get belted as a kid all the time.
"That's just the way it was. I used to live and breathe that. You would go home and your hands would be cut, your legs would be cut.
"I was more annoyed because we lost 4-1. I flew home with my father and we never spoke about it once. We spoke about the game. The incident was nothing. You've got to move on. You can't keep thinking about it."
Football fan says sorry for punching police horse
A fan who was filmed punching a West Yorkshire police horse after a football match has apologised.
Hundreds of fans caused trouble for the police after Sunderland beat Newcastle 3-0 at the weekend. But today Barry Rogerson said that he's actually an animal lover, and that he has let his family down.

'Horse-punch' football fan 'sickened' by his actions
Newcastle horse punch man claims to be 'animal lover'
The man seen punching a police horse during the football violence in Newcastle at the weekend has insisted he is an animal lover.
Barry Rogerson, 45, from Morpeth in Northumberland, was caught on camera lashing out at a police horse before he was hauled to the ground by officers.
Speaking to newspapers today, the unemployed factory worker accepted he acted stupidly, but said the horse startled him and made him panic.
He told the Daily Mirror: "I reacted stupidly. I did not go out to attack a horse.
"I love animals - I've got three dogs, a fish pond out the back and I feed foxes across the road."
He said the pictures made the incident look worse than it was but that he had no excuse.
Dozens send 'get well' messages to Police Horse Bud
West Yorkshire Police have tweeted that Police Horse Bud has received dozens of messages of support in the post. Bud was attacked in football riots in Newcastle at the weekend.
Police horse Bud 'wasn't hurt ' in football fan attack
A West Yorkshire Police horse who was attacked in football riots at the weekend is back recovering in his paddock today. This was Bud at home in Wakefield this morning - after his ordeal in Newcastle yesterday
He was controlling crowds at the Newcastle versus Sunderland match when a fan apparently tried to punch him. His alleged attacker was arrested and bailed. Bud's handlers say he's now doing well.

One of the recurring arguments in the PRcampaign to justify the merger of American and US Airways has been the claim that American simply couldn't compete against the likes of Delta and United without the tie-up.
But in a financial report issued this week, American reported a record monthly profit for July. Here's an excerpt from an internal note from American chairman and CEO Tom Horton to the airline's employees:
Today is a very good day. This morning we reported our financial results for July and here's the headline: we are completing one of the most successful turnarounds in aviation history. We are building a strong, competitive and profitable new American poised to lead again.
Thanks to your hard work, American earned a net profit of $352 million in July, excluding reorganization and special items—a record for any month in our history. In fact, our July profit alone nearly equals the $357 million record profit we reported for the entire second quarter. Our consolidated, passenger and unit revenues also set all-time highs for any month. That's extraordinary—congratulations!
Hyperbole aside, that is extraordinary. It suggests that Horton's turn-around efforts have been highly successful, a fact that has gone mostly unnoticed amid the hubbub surrounding the merger's widely reported ups and downs. But it also gives the lie to the contention that American's very survival depends on merging with US Airways to become the world's largest airline.
American is doing just fine as a stand-alone carrier.
Merger Cheat Sheet
- The new company would retain the "American Airlines" name and be based at American's Ft. Worth headquarters.
- US Airways chief Doug Parker will be the new CEO. American chief Tom Horton will be named chairman of the new board and remain in that position until the spring of 2014 when the company's first annual shareholder meeting will be held. When Horton departs the board, Parker will assume his position as chairman.
- American's creditors would own around 72 percent of the new company; US Airways shareholders would get the rest.
- Based on 2012 results, the new company would have generated $38.7 billion in revenue.
- The merger is expected to generate around $1 billion in combined extra revenue and cost savings for the new company.
- The new company will be valued at around $11 billion.
- Combining the third- and fifth-largest U.S. carriers will create the world's largest airline, in terms of passenger traffic.
- Prior to any post-merger rationalization, the two airlines will have around 120,000 employees, 950 planes, 6,500 daily flights, and eight major hubs (American: Dallas, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York; US Airways: Phoenix, Philadelphia, Charlotte). Although the carriers promise to maintain all current hubs, Phoenix and Philadelphia are likely to be downsized in the post-merger "rationalization."
- The new American will be a member of the oneworld alliance, not the Star Alliance.
- The merger is subject to review and approval by U.S. regulators. That wasn't expected to be a problem since there is relatively little overlap between the two airlines' networks.
- The actual merger won't happen overnight. United and Delta required five and seven months respectively to secure the necessary approvals for their mergers.
- It was 22 months after their merger closed before United and Continental finally merged their frequent flyer programs. Expect a similar post-close interval before American and US Airways consolidate their programs.
- Comparisons between American and US Airways' current mileage programs are probably moot since there's a high likelihood that an entirely new revenue-based program (like Southwest's) will be introduced to replace both programs.
- After the merger, 83 percent of U.S. domestic air traffic will be in the hands of just four airlines (American 26 percent, United 19.3 percent, Delta 19.2 percent, Southwest 17.3 percent).

It is the goal and objective of the Women's Council to notify the community and business community of the phenomenal research being done at City of Hope while raising funds to continue this research. Each member is required to present City of Hope with a contact list (professional and/or personal) to be used for recruiting attendance to Women's Council affiliated events only. In all other instances City of Hope will ask permission before using a member's solicitation list.
Members follow up with personal letters and telephone calls to ensure positive responses and secure commitments. If contacts are unable to attend an event, members seek straight donations, cause related marketing opportunities and donations to the auction.
Meet the Financial Commitment Set Forth
Secure a minimum of 10 individuals ($550) to attend the Women's Council's main fundraising event, the Summer Wine and Food Festival with Silent Auction. This can include the member's place of business and/or personal contacts, family and friends.
Each member is asked to set a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 through the various fundraising formats: sponsorship, event attendance, cause related marketing, auction items sold and other donations. It is the goal and responsibility of the Women's Council to raise over $45,000 for City of Hope each year.
Cause Related Marketing
Identify possible cause related marketing partners (minimum of one per year) as an avenue of fundraising for the current year's campaign and wine festival event. If at all possible the member should set and attend meetings with City of Hope and CRM prospects.
Secure In-Kind Contributions
Assist in identifying and calling on business affiliates to secure not only auction donations, but donations for event logistics, including but not limited to venue, entertainment, tables, chairs, centerpieces, giveaways and event advertisement.
Recognize and Support Mission
It is the mission of the Women's Council of San Diego County to seek financial support for the medical research and patient care programs at City of Hope and to facilitate public awareness of City of Hope within a broad range of individuals and organizations, to ultimately care for and cure people with serious illnesses.

FORTWORTH - Father's Day is Sunday.
For some dads, just holding their newborn baby would be a great gift. At Fort Worth s Cook Children's Hospital, some dads can t touch their babies yet because they re too small.
Some of us just started out a little smaller than others, said grandmother Sara Pittman.
Her granddaughter, Lily Jessen, was born March 30, which was three months before her July 4 due date.
Grandfather Franz Pittman calls her his miracle baby.
We've had some up hills and some down hills, but it looks like right now we are on our way home, the grandfather told News 8.
They spent 12 hours a day at Lily s crib side, rotating shifts with her parents and praying for medical miracles. Now, they have something to remember those moments.
Diana Gibson is an artist in residence at Cook Children s Hospital. She is painting the tiniest toes in the NICU, and pressing the little feet on cozies. It s a small Father s Day gift with a big impact.
It's just something really important to them, really precious to them to have something to hold in their hands and take home with them when they can't take their babies home, Gibson said.
She said some dads have cried when they see their child s imprint on a simple water bottle.
There was a dad earlier that was covered in tattoos and he came in, 'Wow, look. look. That's his foot,' Gibson said. He was just really excited to have it.
Lily is just opening her eyes to see her first Father s Day.
When her family leaves Cook Children s, they'll celebrate many more, and always hold on to their tiny work of art.

Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) has continued its streak of improving sales and profitability as last quarter marked the sixth consecutive quarter of improving comps. It has also raised its fiscal 2013 guidance. The results were well received by investors which led to a 10% increase in the stock. With close to 4,700 drugstores, Rite Aid competes with its larger rivals Walgreen (NYSE:WAG) and CVS Caremark (NYSE:CVS) and has come a long way from its compromised sales and fiscal position after the acquisition of Brooks and Eckerd drugstores in 2007.See our complete analysis of Rite Aid
Sixth Consecutive Quarter of Same Store Sales Growth
Last quarter, Rite Aid's same store sales increased 2.5% over the prior-year period, consisting of a 2.7% increase in front end sales and a 2.4% increase in pharmacy sales, despite 326 bps negative impact from new generic introductions. The drug retailers performance metrics have continued to improve over the last one year and Rite Aid filled 3% more prescriptions per location during the quarter over last year, including traffic that resulted from Express-Walgreen dispute. Aided by the Wellness loyalty program and store upgrades, these comps have consistently improved for the past six quarters which has helped the drug retailer narrow its losses.
Rite Aid's Weakest Stores Dragging on Performance
In April 2011, Rite Aid management underscored that 3,000 of its 4,700 stores were good stores with key metrics like sales performance, prescriptions per store and front-end sales per unit area of retail space approaching levels comparable to peers like Walgreen and CVS. It is the bottom 1,700 stores that are drag down the overall metrics. Apart from the roll out of Wellness loyalty program last year, Rite Aid has been gradually relocating and remodeling its stores as well as liquidating under-performing stores in order to lift these metrics, which has significantly improved its profitability.
However, the company suffers from high debt and related interest payments have been eating up the company's already weak cash flows, which caps the capital available for investing into further improving the profitability of its under performing stores. The recent conclusion of two rounds of debt refinancing this year have helped Rite Aid improve its liquidity to make sure it timely addresses its upcoming debt maturities.
We believe that proper debt management coupled with consistent improvement in same store sales should help stabilize Rite Aid's performance and future outlook in an industry which is looking at significant boost in prescription expenditure from aging U.S. population and expanding insurance coverage.
We are in the process of revising our $1.55 Trefis price estimate of Rite Aid stock.

Resting place | Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio |
Political party | Democratic |
Profession | newspaper owner |
Samuel Medary (February 25, 1801 – November 7, 1864) was an American newspaper owner and politician.
Born and raised in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, he settled in Bethel, Ohio, in 1825. After a term in the Ohio House of Representatives (1834) and the Ohio State Senate (1836–38) as a Jackson Democrat, he purchased a newspaper in Columbus that became the Ohio Statesman, which he edited until 1857. Active at the National Democratic Conventions at Baltimore in 1844, where he was instrumental in the nomination of James K. Polk; and at Cincinnati in 1856, where he was the President pro tem. President James Buchanan appointed him as the 3rd Territorial Governor of Minnesota from April 23, 1857, to May 24, 1858. Minnesota became a state on May 11, 1858, and elected Henry Hastings Sibley.[1]
Samuel Medary was also Governor of Kansas Territory from December 1858 to December 1860. William F. Wheeler was territory Librarian and the Governor's Secretary while in office.
Returning to Columbus, Ohio, he established a newspaper he named The Crisis. While living in Columbus, Medary resided at his estate, Northwood Place, located along the Worthington Pike, now North High Street, near Northwood Avenue. Medary was indicted by a federal grand jury in 1864 for conspiracy against the government and was arrested. He was released on bonds, but died in Columbus, Ohio before he could be tried.
One of the first townsites in Dakota Territory is named after Medary. The town of Medaryville, Indiana was also named after him. In North Columbus, Ohio (annexed to the city of Columbus in the late 1800s) a street dating back to the early 1900s Medary Avenue was named for him. Because Columbus Public Schools names its schools for the street on which they are located, Medary Elementary School also carried his surname.
Medary was buried at Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.

Re: Proc::PID::File problem generating pid files, or: does it matter where a pid file lives?by JavaFan (Canon) |
on May 21, 2010 at 16:52 UTC ( #841113=note: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
My main question is: is there a problem with putting pid files in non-standard locations?Not in principle. Pid files have their problems (something may throw away the file, the pid may have been reused, race conditions if you don't use locking (but if you use locking, why have a pid file?)), but they are just a file. Of course, if there's some program checking for pid files, it may need to be told where the pid file is, but other than that, not really. Perhaps you may have a higher risk deleting the pid file if the file is in your home dir, but that's more a procedural issue.

The Opening preview
Recruits travel to Oregon today for the top high school football combine of the summer.
'The Opening' takes place this week at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.
The event will be televised on ESPNU Tuesday from 8-10 p.m. ET for the SPARQ rating national championship, Wednesday from 8-10:30 p.m. ET for 7on7 pool play and Thursday from 8-11 p.m. ET for the 7on7 semifinal and championship as well as the linemen challenge finals.
Three UF commits are competing this year in receiver Derrick Dillon, quarterback Sheriron Jones and cornerback Marcus Lewis.
"I'm definitely looking forward to it," Lewis said. "Just going out there with all the gear they give us and competing against the best on ESPNU. And I'll be getting better and learning from pro players and coaches that have experience on the college and NFL level."
Lewis has yet to meet any members of Florida's 2015 class, so he's ready to see Dillon and Jones.
"It will be nice finally meeting someone," Lewis said. "I heard they're both great players. I can't wait to see them live. I might go against them, actually. It's going to be fun."
Jones arrived at Nike on Saturday and is one of 18 quarterbacks going through the Elite 11 camp in conjunction with The Opening. The Elite 11 will air Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPNU, though the winner will be announced at the conclusion of The Opening.
Dillon is playing on team Alpha Pro and Lewis is on the Landsharks. Jones' team will be determined once 7on7 pool play starts.
Several targets for the Gators will also compete in The Opening, including running backs Ray-Ray McCloud III and Dexter Williams (Miami commit), receivers George Campbell and Auden Tate, offensive linemen Martez Ivey and Javon Patterson, defensive end Byron Cowart, safety Jaquan Johnson and linebackers Te'Von Coney, Roquan Smith and Adonis Thomas, who plans to decide between Alabama and Florida on Aug. 1.

Rivals recruiting has UF with only 2 **** recruits out of 9 verbals.
The problem I have with that is ESPN has UF with 8 **** recruits,
and 7 of them are on the ESPN Top 300 List.While 3 are at the Nike 'Opening' that starts today, (the Top HS football combine of the summer). Elite 11 QB-DT Sheriron Jones – CB Marcus Lewis – Ath/WR Derrick Dillon
Leaving me with the opinion that rivals recruiting is so FoS that their eyes have all turned dark brown….. :~p)
by da-muddler
I wouldn't worry about how one recruiting service or another rates recruits. It only matters if the coaches think they can play for UF. It's not too long ago that UF had a class that was rated one of the best ever, in 2010. There are still a couple of guys left from that class, Leon Orr comes to mind, but not one even made it to Atlanta. I don't think I ever see Oklahoma, for example, rated very highly when it comes to recruiting, yet they kicked Alabama's ass last year on the field. Let's just trust that Muschamp and his staff know who they want and can get a fair percentage of them. The recruiting rankings are just for the die-hard fans and I'm as guilty anyone, but I'm smart enough to not start counting titles based on how well a kid played in high school.
by ntcrze
Well said. Our roster is loaded with 4* players (some 5′s, some 3′s) and look at the last 3 years. One good season, 2 bad ones. No trips to Atlanta. This is not an exact science, roll the dice and see who emerges.
I do think they have done a pretty good job this cycle of identifying some under the radar guys that will be studs. Looking back on the Urban years only about 50% of those guys ever saw the field for one reason or another, maybe that's why we had no depth when he left.by GG
A lot of our problems are due to player development and have been dating back to the Urban Meyer days. If you look at our starting LB's going into this season you see 2 full time starters that were barely ranked, Davis and Morrisson, yet 3 4 and 5 star players, Taylor, McMillan and Anzolone will be splitting time. Anzolone and McMillan are understandable as they are only sophmores but Taylor is a 5th year senior and while he has been serviceable for the last couple of years he should be a full time starter at his position. Even in the defensive backfield we have seen our share of 4 and 5 stars transfer or get switched to other positions, Showers, Shaw, Finley and Dowling, while others get passed up by incoming freshmen, Maye, Poole and Gorman.
Let's hope we break this cycle starting this year.by Gator Drew
CeCe Jefferson will not be participating?
by EP
Gator Drew, I would agree weve had problems developing players on the offensive side of the ball, but on the defensive side of the ball I'd have to whole heartedly disagree. Sure not every player has worked out, but you'll never get every player to work out. Some players just bust no matter what coaches they play for, some take longer to develop than others, and some just don't have the right attitudes or work ethic no matter what the coaches. Recruiting is imprecise that way. Sometimes you just get the wrong guys. Look at our total body of work. Look at how great our defenses have been, how many great players we've had, and how many defensive draft picks we've had (and will have. We're developing guys on the defensive side just fine. It's the offensive side I'd say that hasn't be developed as well. But hopefully these new hires will change that.
by That_UAT_Guy
UAT, I didn't have time to go into the offense….lol…We have has more than our share of woes there… but it does seem that we have missed at some on the defensive side when you consider the overall rankings we've had there. I feel pretty good about the 2015 class though if we can pull out 9 or 10 wins this year. Go Gators.
by Gator Drew
Oregon- the beer capital of the US.

First off, I'n NOT worried, just the opposite.
Taking one year with Okla to make your point is pretty weak ntcrze.
Okla Bowls: They are 5-6 in Bowls, 0-3 in BCS-NC's since 2003.
2003 L Ok 14 – 21 LSU BCS-NC
2004 L Ok 19 – 55 USCw BCS-NC
2006 L Ok 42 – 43 Boise State – Fiesta
2007 L Ok 28 – 48 WVa – Fiesta
2008 L Ok 14 – 24 Florida BCS-NC
2012 L Ok 13 – 41 Tex A&M – CottonAnd it has nothing to do with the recruit rankings that I referred to.
I was making the point that rivals recruiting is way off base with their UF rankings.
ESPN – 8 are Four Stars, 7 are on the ESPN Top 300 list.
And it not just them, the Nike Opening has 3 of our recruits, but rivals only has UF with 2 that are even four stars. BS on them.Our record over the last 3 years has little to do with the excellent recruiting imo.
2011 – Will dumped 12-13 of Meyers problem children, like Janoris among others. He still has a winning season and beat tOSU in the Gator Bowl.
2012 – Will was 11-2 and voted SEC CoY
2013 – An NCAA record for injuries in a season resulted in a 4-8, not the recruiting.
His 3 classes have averaged a #4 with 39 ESPN Top 300′s.
2014 – He Is well on his way to another Top 4 Class. (per ESPN)
UF Top 10 in the Nation every year on the defense.
Constant coaching staff cluster along with the injuries have been the problem imoho. Stabilize the staff, avoid the injuries, and the talent is there.by da-muddler
We have talent (although on OL not sure), young team (since seniors don't stay), have to see results this year on the field and everything will take care of itself. If not, big problems going forward.
Have 6 games we "should" win, 6 underdog type games (at this moment). Think we need to win at least 3 of those or else!!by GG

CNG on a lawn truck?
Just saw the new forum, and wanted to jump in with both feet.
We have a utility truck that is a chevy 2500 which we purchased at auction from a local utility. It has an CNG system which will allow us to use less expensive compressed natural gas to fuel the truck, and it automatically transfers over to fuel if the CNG runs out. Equivilent to gas, it runs about 1.85 a gasoline gallon equivilent, but there is only 1 public station here. I've considered buying a compresser, special and expensive compressor, which you can put at the shop at it will fill the truck overnight. Has anyone had any experience with these? Anyone run propane, LPG, or CNG on a lawn truck to save fuel or sell their services as a "green" operation? |
had a propane truck where i worked during high school, you could go a year and still read the writing on the dipstick thru the oil.
i havent had any experience with the compressors but it could benefit you if you convert your fleet or buy new stuff running on CNG. There are lots of tax breaks and benefits out there for going to alternative fuel. I'm a big advocate of CNG, and replacement vehicles will come with cng from now on. this was my neighbor for a few months...

I've got an engineering back ground, and lived in TX, and various coastal regions, those rigs bring back memories.
I think any equipment that has fuel flexability is a great thing. It keeps the market in check more quickly, as users can change from tank to tank instead of each time they buy a vehicle. I'm certainly going to keep my eye out for these, especially on the used market. I've been involved with a handful of alternative fuel companies, and our next venture will be along the same lines. Save to oil for plastics and lubrication, domestically we've got plenty of ways to fuel the countries transit needs, but the higher the cost, the longer the transition time. Do you know if you have many public CNG stations near you? |
Untill I read this thread I have never heard of somebody using cng in a truck. But we don't have any places around that can compress it that I have seen
Posted via Mobile Device |
petrohawk, chesapeake, and the cities of shreveport and bossier city have built CNG stations, and are converting thier fleets. but here in the haynesville shale we have an over aboundance of natural gas. so its easily acquired and cheap.
the rig in my pic is a trinidad rig. NOMAC drilled all of our wells, that was in a section beside us. the ones here are typically 12000 feet deep and 4500 feet horizontal also heard they are about to drill the first oil well aboit 5 miles from me.

In 2000 the state of AZ had a rebate program to push the "green vehicles" it was a crazy rebate. I bought 2, 26-K ford f150 trucks and basicly got one for free. The only catch was you had to have enough cash or credit to pay for them up front and then the state refunded you like 40% of the purchase price of the entire vehicle. Even though the cost of the conversion was only about 5-k, funny thing was I looked into it a year or to earlier and it was only about 3,300 bucks, what a scam that was. I was interviewed at a fueling station and whenever they ran a CNG story for the next 2 years it was me on the stock footage in the background. I'm lucky I wasn't shot, once the public found out about it they were rightly outraged. Thank you Janet Napalatano I was one of the first to take delivery. I also got $15 registration for the life of the vehicle that was a 600 savings the first year too. The special license plates allowed me to drive in the HOV lane alone... man those were the good ole days.
I still have one of the trucks 228-K miles with no engine problems. The tranny is shot now and its sitting on the side of my house. It was under-powered on CNG by about 10% hardly noticeable. the fuel mileage was also about the same. I didn't get the compressor on the house another 5-k but again the state reimbursed you for it I just didn't have the $$$. My neighbor did but he didn't like it. It took quite a while to fill the tank and it made a lot of noise. It was difficult to find service techs to work on the vehicles and they changed the CNG platform on us in 02 or 03 and parts were difficult to get. Also my CNG tank has a "lifespan" of about 10-11 years it is stamped right on the side. I didn't find that out until I pulled off the decorative cover to clean out the bed. Its out of date now. I would buy another CNG truck in a heartbeat. I have heard you can blend/add CNG to diesel and get improved power and MPG but I'm just too busy to monkey around with that kind of stuff.
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. |
yeah a friend of my dads in oklahoma that works with CNG and products says they are really close to running 18 wheelers on 90% CNG

Glad to hear there are some others out there. If your buddy still has a compressor he wants to sell, let me know. My plan was to hook it up at the end of the day, and have a compressed tank the next morning.
I've heard you can get the tanks reinspected and extend the expiration date, but I've yet to find what qualifications are needed or cost to certify. Like I said, we have only a single public pump. There are quite a few buses, trash trucks, and city vehicles using CNG, but I doubt many normal citizens use it in this city. If I could, I would use it on everything, but the conversions are cost prohibitive unless I find a compressor. Any other deals on tanks or systems, please pass on reputable conversion companies. Our local gas company obviously spent an arm and a leg on these trucks and I've heard GM and Ford both offer a factory conversion that can run on CNG. No clue on incremental cost. Anyone can find out if there are filling stations nearby by searching on google, or the national energy website will provide all locations as well. http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/fuel...locations.html |
GQLL - Looks like there are 4 stations within 25 miles of you, 3 public, 1 private.
my guys had an accident 2 weeks ago and tottled one of my f250's and my f450. I decided we're going with a gas/cng combo for the 250 replacement and biodiesel for the 450. I specialize in effiecient irrigation and lighting, being "green" in those areas giving the company name two meanings, now we're going to be green on the road as well. I'm planning to switch all of the vehicles over to cng or bio by spring, other than the 3500 duelly that is my main equipment towing vehicle

Two Critical After SUV Slams into Colorado Fire Engine
MORRISON, Colo. --
A woman and a 12-year-old girl are in critical condition after their sport utility vehicle slammed directly into a fire engine on U.S. Highway 285 near Morrison.
Cindy Matthews, of West Metro Fire, said firefighters were responding to a car crash on southbound 285 at Turkey Creek Road, where a child received cuts to her face.
Firefighters had positioned a fire engine on the road to protect first responders from traffic when a blue SUV drove full-speed into the truck, Matthews said.
Investigators believe that steam from the melting snow on the road was so thick that the driver of the SUV may not have seen the fire engine on the right lane.
No firefighters were injured but the 12-year-old girl and the woman were airlifted to Swedish Hospital in critical condition. They have not been identified but firefighters said the woman was in her 40s.
Highway 285 was closed briefly in both directions so that two medical helicopters could land and pick up the victims.
The crash occurred at about 11:40 a.m. between C-470 and Highway 8.
A fuel tank on the fire engine ruptured and hazardous materials crews were called to the scene to clean up the diesel fuel. Northbound Highway 285 remains closed at this time.

Other legislators said they too had no idea what Pelosi would do. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the chairwoman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, both said on CNN that Pelosi's decision was still a secret to them.
In the same interview Israel was asked to respond to a comment by Republican strategist Karl Rove, who said that even though President Obama won reelection by a wide margin in the electoral college, he did not have a mandate. Rove said that if Obama did have a mandate Democrats would have retaken control of the House.
Israel said that Democrats did have a mandate because while they held the Senate and the White House, some of the most prominent conservatives in the House were voted out of office.
"And by the way, most of the Tea Party generals — the icons of the Tea Party, they ended up getting defeated in this election and so that's the mandate we have," Israel said.

Submitted by Andrew Fruth of AcceptanceTake
Get ready to travel to a new dimension of sound, sight, and mind because President Obama has proposed to spend less on discretionary spending in 2022 than in 2011 in real and nominal terms. That means he expects to spend fewer dollars in 2022, even after being debased by inflation, on discretionary functions than he did in 2011. These projections come from a President that increased the entire U.S. debt by over 45% in a matter of 4 years. We may have a credibility problem:
A closer look at the 2013 budget shows that Obama, in inflation and population adjusted dollars, wants to decrease discretionary spending from $1261 billion dollars in 2013 to $982 billion in 2022 for a decrease of 22.1%! So, for the exception of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, other mandatory programs, interest, TARP, and a very small amount for "adjustments for disaster costs," Obama plans to cut spending by 22.1% in adjusted dollars. Do we have any believers out there?:
But it doesn't stop there. Look at the interest rates the government expects to pay on its public debt. The net interest row does not include intergovernmental debt. All years are estimates except for 2011:
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
2.27% | 1.94% | 1.96% | 2.30% | 2.75% | 3.22% | 3.60% | 3.85% | 4.04% | 4.18% | 4.27% |
Public debt is set nearly to double from 2011 to 2022 and increase by $9.358 trillion. Yet, by 2022, the government expects to pay interest rates on the public debt that are less than they paid on the total U.S. debt in the 1990s.
You may notice a slight difference between the interest rate in the table above and the interest rate shown in 2011 on the chart below. Unlike the table above, the chart below measures average interest rates on the federal debt outstanding, so it includes intergovernmental debt interest. The interest rates on the intergovernmental debt brought the average up from the table above to the chart below.
The differences, however, are slight. The 1990s still had significantly higher interest rates in the 1990s than Obama projects, even for 2022:
You might be thinking that the government plans on the Federal Reserve buying up Treasuries to keep Treasury rates low. Well, maybe, but the government only projects the "GDP chained price index" to range from 1.6%-2.1% from 2011 to 2022. Needless to say, unless banks, as a whole, are deleveraging throughout the whole period, the Federal Reserve's intervention in the Treasury market would create more than 2.1% price increases.
But wait, that can't be because if the banks are deleveraging, then it's really unlikely the economy is going to be growing as strong as Obama projects. From 2012 through 2018, Obama projects the economy will grow between 2.7%-4.1% YOY in real terms. Then the real growth rate drops off to 2.7%-2.5% from 2019-2022. For comparison's sake, the economy grew in the 2%-4% range from 2003-2006 during the boom times.
So, then, where is the $9.358 (minus whatever amount has been borrowed so far in fiscal year 2012) trillion at 1.94%-4.36% going to come from if not the Federal Reserve? Pick you choice: a) the free market in the U.S. b) China c) Japan d) not going to happen. I would provide an answer key for this question, but I don't want to insult your intelligence.
So, if the government does plan on borrowing this much, assuming it can get it from somewhere other than the Fed, what happens if interest rate levels rise to rates similar to those found in the 1990s and 1980s? Well, fortunately, in my book The Debtor's Ultimatum: Defy, Debase, or Default I've done the research. By the way, the following chart doesn't even include the interest on the additional interest that would develop over this time from higher interest rates.
Here's the Hypothetical Average Interest Rate Paid on the Public Debt Alone:
Government Numbers for both the chart above and below are sourced from the Midsession Review 2012, so the data are a little bit different from the data mentioned previously that is from the 2013 budget.
Here's the Net Interest on Public Debt Alone in Billions of $:
Yeah, and there's even more. The government receipts projections are incredibly optimistic. Part of that optimism is due to projected increase in economic growth and part of it is due to Obama's proposal to let the Bush tax cuts finally expire. We'll see if either of those possibilities comes to pass. I have my doubts about both.
Rather than pontificate, I'll let you look at the 2013 budget data yourself. The following are federal receipts, in trillions of dollars. 2012-2017 are estimates:
2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 |
1.78 | 1.88 | 2.15 | 2.41 | 2.57 | 2.52 | 2.10 | 2.16 |
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
2.30 | 2.47 | 2.90 | 3.22 | 3.45 | 3.68 | 3.92 |
Did you notice that crazy jump from 2012-2013? The government is expecting some pretty big economic growth. We know those increases in receipts are not due to inflation, because the government expects hardly any at all.
Funny, in the 2012 budget, the government had the following data with only 2010 being a non-estimate:
2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
2.16 | 2.17 | 2.63 | 3.00 | 3.33 | 3.58 | 3.82 |
Notice the big jump from 2011 to 2012 they projected and compare it to the jump from 2011-2012 in the 2013 budget table. They're really counting on that surge of receipts, and if they're off by a year, they'll just delay the surge another year or so.
Take a look at the 2011 budget. Only 2009 is a non-estimate year:
2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 |
2.10 | 2.17 | 2.57 | 2.93 | 3.19 | 3.46 | 3.63 |
Yep, once again, the projected jump from 2010-2011 was far less than actually occurred.
The President's budget assumes no increase in nominal dollar spending from 2011-2022, interest rates to stay in the 2%-4% range despite needing to borrow around $9 trillion over the next decade, the Fed to not be a major player in buying that debt, because inflation numbers are low, and expects revenues to get a sudden boost, even after being wrong about his revenue predictions over and over again. And to top it all off, all of these predictions come from a President who has increased the total U.S. debt by over 45% in his first term of office. Oh, yes we can't!

Released: Feb 01st, 1998
Running Time: 67
Director: Al Borda
Company: ABV-USA
Tyler (I), Mila (I), Westin Chase, Al Borda, Ron Jeremy
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
This three-scene vid opens with Al Borda, who, after getting in some genuinely humorous digs at the big guns in the industry, decides to broadcast his own OB-GYN channel with the help of the very enthusiastic Tyler. Borda even graduates Pap Smear 101 as he gets eight fingers jammed up inside his truly incredulous patient. Next up, the maniacal Mila assaults Ron Jeremy, who apparently has forgotten how to color-coordinate his suits. Mila's raunch rap is unceasing, and when Jeremy forgets to slap her ass during a blistering anal, Mila does it herself! Though the final number is somewhat sluggish, this one's still definitely stockable.

A Little History of Intant and Childrens High Chairs
Since little is known about the invention of high chairs, we all recognize the necessity of proper seating for infants and children. Here is some history tidbits on high chairs. On Feburary 28th of 1880 a patent was granted to Joseph W. Kenna for a high chair and carriage for children according to The Federal Reporter. Four years and four days ealier, Feb. 28,1876 it is reported by the Museum of Florida History a patent was issued for a high chair and stroller combination.

Synchronized Fabry–Perot cavity used for enhanced sensitivity electro-optic measurements of electric fields in the microwave range |
Applied Optics, Vol. 52, Issue 24, pp. 5894-5902 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (763 KB)
An electro-optic (EO) sensing system for measuring free-space electric fields in the microwave range has been developed. The system is based on a phase modulation heterodyning technique using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. In one of the arms of the interferometer, an acousto-optic frequency shifter is used to downconvert the frequency of the detected signal in order to discriminate it from parasites emitted at the external electric field frequency. The sensing part is a
