COLUMBIA — Columbia College senior Marli Hayes jolted eardrums with an abrupt ping of her bat. It was the first inning of Game 1 in a doubleheader between the Cougars and Park University, and Hayes foreshadowed the remainder of Tuesday afternoon at Antimi Fields.
"There it is," said a man in the stands who stood in response to Hayes' hit. "Over!"
Hayes' two-run home run cleared the center field fence and gave the Cougars a two-run lead. The tone was set with one swift swing.
"We really wanted to beat this team kind of from last year, because they knocked us out of the tournament and beat us in the regular season," Hayes said. "So we were really gunning for this game."
Columbia swept Park University in the doubleheader. The Cougars won 4-3 in Game 1 and 10-2 in Game 2. Columbia improved to 15-10 overall and 7-1 in American Midwest Conference play. The losses were Park's first in AMC play, and the Pirates are now 24-6 overall, 10-2 in the AMC.
"It's a really great momentum builder," Columbia catcher Taylor Atwood said of the sweep. "We're gonna use this because this put us in a really good position for the rest of the week, but we have to make sure we go into the next few teams the same way we went into this team."
Game 1 got interesting after Columbia added a run in the third inning for a 3-0 lead. Park came back with one run in the fourth inning, and then nearly tied the game when freshman Shae Boyd came within inches of a two-run home run in the fifth inning. The glove of Cougars freshman outfielder Carly Spalding robbed Boyd by catching the near home run as Spalding slammed into the fence.
In the sixth inning, Park did tie the game by scoring two runs on consecutive wild pitches. Columbia won in the bottom of the seventh inning thanks to a bobbled ground ball by Park's third baseman, allowing Spalding to score the winning run.
Minutes after crossing home plate, Spalding went to the concession stand with her mother to get Skittles, passing the time between doubleheaders. A half-hour after that, she was crossing home plate again as Hayes hit another two-run home run in the first inning of Game 2.
Columbia junior Brittiany Tjarks and senior Kristin Eiken followed suit, each having a two-run home run of her own in the second game. The game ended prematurely after five innings because the Cougars led by eight runs due to NAIA rules.
Hayes finished the day 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBIs, five runs and two walks.
"She's a captain," Columbia coach Wendy Spratt said of Hayes. "She's a leader. I think she's done a great job this year of knowing what to say and when to say it. She pumped everybody up and got everybody to say, 'This is our game, and we're gonna go get it.'
"She wanted it, and they followed."

The 'big picture'
x Super-sizing images has taken the art world to the extreme
Size matters in art. Anyone who has spent time in museums and galleries probably knows this instinctively.
Large-scale objects grab your attention. As bad-boy photographer Robert Mapplethorpe once said, "To make pictures big is to make them more powerful." Make them gargantuan and even jaded art insiders will take notice.
Over the past decade, a trend toward enlarging photographic images to the extreme seems to have overtaken the art world. A prime example is Jeff Wall, a Canadian photographer whose mural-sized pictures can be 8 or 10 feet high and up to 16 feet long, presented in glowing light boxes. His work was featured in a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this year, and that's about as good as it gets for a living artist.
Another exponent of super-sizing is German photographer Andreas Gursky, whose photographs routinely measure 7 by 10 to 11 feet. Here in Southwest Florida, Everglades photographer Clyde Butcher has been producing large-scale black-and-white images of lush landscapes for many years, preserving a vanishing paradise on film in a way that can't be ignored.
Big pictures are commanding hefty price tags these days, too. Photos by stars in the big-picture movement sell for $75,000 to $300,000 and up. One of Gursky's photographs, "99 Cent," broke auction records earlier this year when it sold for just under $3.4 million at Sotheby's in London. The digitally manipulated image shows row upon row of cheap but colorful items arrayed in a dollar store, depicted with mind-boggling optical clarity and not a little irony.
"Photographers want to kick paintings off the walls in museums," said Tom Bamberger recently. "There's kind of an arms race to make things big."
A Wisconsin photographer who also works large-scale, Bamberger was curator of photography at the Milwaukee Art Museum for more than 10 years. "I also think it's about photographers really understanding a photograph as an art object now," he said.
Viewers who want to check out the miracle-grow phenomenon have an opportunity to do so this summer at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach.
A new exhibit called "Big Picture" opened there July 7. Not actually a large show, it features 11 works by 12 photographers, including Wall, Candida Hofer, Thomas Demand, Reiner Leist, Elger Esser, Joseph Bartscherer. Chuck Close and several others.
Charles Stainback, the Norton's curator of photography, organized the show. He joined the museum's staff 18 months ago, he explained during a recent interview at the gallery.
"During that time, we've acquired or been presented with some very large photographs. So the exhibit developed as a way to celebrate these donations and acquisitions," he said. "But, secondly, I wanted people to be aware that photographic technology was changing. What photographers are able to do now with new printing technologies is something quite significantly different than what was done even 15 or 20 years ago."
One newer technique is face mounting, an increasingly popular way of presenting large photographs. This is a process of adhering the front of the photographic print to the back of a thin sheet of clear acrylic glass similar to Plexiglas.
Instead of the traditional method of mounting photos under glass, the image and its glazing become a single unit. It makes big prints easier to display. The acrylic surface offers protection from light damage but is vulnerable to scratches.
Several of the photos in this exhibit are face mounted, such as Elger Esser's limpid, watery scene of a floating dock off a beach in Normandy, France, called "Tracy-sur-Mer I." To many eyes, the technique gives pictures added clarity, richness and luminosity. Certainly, it reduces glare and reflections and offers a greater sense of intimacy, since the viewer is not separated from the image by the gap between the print and glass.
Thomas Demand's "Landing," from 2006, is another color print that benefits from the optical enhancements of this type of mounting. About 6 by 9 feet in size, Demand's image appears to depict an ordinary incident. Something has broken and created a mess in a stairwell. So what's all the fuss about?
As it turns out, what's shown in the picture is an elaborate, if temporary, stage set. Demand constructed a life-size recreation out of paper and pasteboard, in his studio, of a scene that was originally depicted in a cell-phone photograph circulating on the internet. That image captured the aftermath of an accident at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, in which a man tripped on his shoelace and fell down a marble staircase, breaking three valuable Ming vases.
"His set-ups sometimes last for only a couple of hours, because he's using hot glue and spray mount and scotch tape, just to hold things down," said Stainback, who has visited Demand's studio in Germany. "If you were to see all this, all around is the studio. All around it is just junk. While it [the photograph] doesn't have all the grittiness of a real photograph, it looks real. But then again, it's not real."
In contrast, Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao's panoramic color ink-jet print of a bustling Manhattan intersection seems less likely to make viewers disbelieve their eyes. Forty inches high and 8 feet long, Liao's picture looks at first like a single exposure. In fact, the image is composed of at least 16 separate exposures taken with a large-format camera. Liao scanned his transparencies and merged them digitally to create a wide-angled image that is both blurry with movement in some areas and amazingly crisp in incidental detail in other parts.
"Digital technology encourages big prints," said Bamberger. "Years ago, big photographs were blow-ups and they were blurry and grainy when they got too big. With digital technology, you can, if you do it right, get more detailed information in big prints."
Photographers working today are more apt to have their images produced by technicians at professional photo labs, too. "For the longest time, being a photographer meant that you spent countless hours in a darkroom," Stainback noted.
"It meant that you got your fingers all smelly from all these awful chemicals, and that you really were a part of the craft of the medium. Now, perhaps 5 percent of photographers develop their own film and pictures. Technology has taken the photographer's hand away from the picture. The look of photography is changing, because it is becoming more mechanized."
One of the most striking photographs in the Norton show is a high-contrast portrait head of a woman of African descent, printed in black and white. Taken by Valérie Belin, a French photographer based in Paris, the picture is about 5 feet by 4 feet in size. It's not huge, but the scale allows the viewer to examine minute details, to see light sparkling off the creases in the woman's lips and to marvel at the texture of her harshly lit skin.
Belin's photographs have been described as coldly beautiful and confrontational. Certainly, there is a lack of direct emotional engagement with the subject, whose face is immobile and monumentalized. But Belin, in an interview printed on the Canon camera web site, emphasizes the joy of seeing as a motivating factor in her work.
"When photographers take a photo, they completely focus on 'the act of seeing.' By focusing on 'seeing,' their other functions disappear, and they might feel that even their bodies have disappeared. Actually, however, the photographers' bodies move, react to the object, and have their bodies lent to the object, i.e., a camera subject," she said.
Something of this intense absorption in the act of visualization comes through in Jeff Wall's illuminated light-box photograph. At approximately 44 by 53 inches, "Poppies in a Garden" is an atypical work by Wall, whose giant montages usually run much larger. Often, his images are crammed full sociological and historical observations, references to other art, and issues like alienation or the consequences of war and poverty.
"Poppies," on the other hand, depicts little more than the simple pleasure of scrutinizing a bit of the outdoors in a backyard on a sunny day. Like Monet, Wall revels in looking at what's in front of him, regardless of how mundane the scene may be. In this case, the artist's next-door neighbor called one day and said, "The poppies are blooming."
Every once in a while, it seems, you don't need a big idea to make a big picture.

BOUGUER ANOMALY MAP OF NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND ADJACENT SHELF By Susan Chaki and Woodson R. Oglesby This Bouguer anomaly map of northwest Florida and submerged portions of the continental shelf adjacent thereto is based on data provided by the United States Department of Defense (Air Force) Gravity Library. The producing salt domes near the Main Pass of the Mississippi River; the faults and Comanchean Shelf Edge to the north; and the diapiric structures lying east thereof near the De Soto Canyon, were copied after the Tectonic Map of the Gulf Coast Region U. S. A. (1972) G. C. A. G. S. Only regional features are resolved on the map, as the spacing between stations and the margin of error, which in the offshore is on the order of several milligals, does not permit one to interpret structures on the small scale of salt domes. The Gulf Coast Geosyncline appears as a positive trough extending eastward to 86 10' West Longitude and 29 30' North Latitude. This Geosyncline is not evident, if mapped on the free air anomaly, or if an inappropriate density value is chosen for the Bouguer correction factor. The interpretation of variations of gravity from place-to place around the earth's surface are made by measurement of the amount the observed gravity readings at various points departs from theoretical gravity values, at sea level, at the same points. Theoretical gravity values can be calculated for MAX. an idealized geometric figure of the earth. For most purposes, a theoretical ellipsoid of revolution will suffice to represent the earth and its gravitational field. Calculations based on the foregoing principle will result in "free air" data which, when contoured, form a free air anomaly map. The values so contoured would give a correct representation of the gravity amonalies present inter se, were it not for density variations which occur between various points on the earth's surface and a common datum (sea level) at the said points. The Florida Platform, whether emergent or submerged, consists of sand and porous limestones throughout the upper 2 or 3 thousand feet of section. The density of these sediments varies from about 1.7 to 2.3, 2.00 being an approximate mean: All densities are referred to pure water at S. T. P., the specific gravity (density) of which is 1.00, by definition. In discussing the Comanchean Shelf Edge, John Antoine of Texas A&M indicated that the series of seismic profiles he had run across the scarp successfully picked up the Shelf Edge until his ship's position reached approximately 29" 12' North by 87o 42' West. Thereafter, the relatively low sparker energy available to him did not penetrate the thick blanket of sediments which masked the scarp. Antoine agreed that a possible interpretation was that sediments carried by the Mississippi River through its Main Pass spread eastward to the edge of the scarp, filled it into the crest, and spread thence eastward over the submerged Florida Platform. The sediments of the Gulf Coast Geosyncline are basically of Miocene to Recent age, and are thought to attain at least 35,000 feet in thickness in the central portion of the geosyncline off the Louisiana Coast. There is no direct evidence of the thickness of these sediments in the portion of this geosyncline occurring in the vicinity of the De Soto Canyon, as no test well has been drilled thereabouts. However, the evidence derived by gravity indicates a considerable thickness for such sediments (thousands of feet) as opposed to 500 feet or so on the Florida land mass to the east. The Santa Rosa Arch, a positive anomaly, and the Marianna Lowlands a negative anomaly, appear as well defined features extending southwestward from Alabama and Georgia, respectively, into the Florida Panhandle at longitudes 87 West and 85 o West. The Santa Rosa Arch, unlike the (Miocene) Gulf Coast Geosyncline, dates from the pre-Mesozoic. It probably defines the eastern limit of the Mississippi Salt Basin in Florida.

Task distribution based adaptation in mobile patient monitoring systems
Mei, Hailiang (2010) Task distribution based adaptation in mobile patient monitoring systems. thesis.
Abstract: | In the past decades, telemedicine applications have been widely recognized as a key technology to solve many problems faced by our aging society. Being part of this technological move, Mobile Patient Monitoring Systems (MPMSs) have attracted a great deal of attention due to its fitness on providing less intrusive and long-lasting telemedicine services. The first main contribution of this thesis is a set of task assignment algorthms designed for MPMSs. We propose two graph-based polynomial-time algorithms which deal with the "chain-chain assignment"and the "three-star assignment". When the targeted MPMS complies to such models, we recommend the use of these graphbased algorithms that can find the optimal solutions. |

Sailing Through History with Miniature Ship ReplicasShip models have captured the imaginations of people young and old. We imagine ourselves captaining or perhaps crewing on these diminutive, yet amazingly accurate representations of full-sized ships. Cruisers, sloops, yachts and racing ships gathered together in maritime museums or in private collections inspire minds to dream about a life on the water. Model shipbuilding has been a part of humanity since ancient times, with models from thousands of years ago providing archaeological evidence of how seafaring cultures devised and perfected watercraft. Model ships have also been used in a number of religions as votives offered up as thanks for surviving a storm at sea or for fulfilling a vow to a deity. From the crudely carved to the most intricately detailed, model ships grace museums, art galleries, banks and private collections the world over. Our ship models include sailing and powered vessels—each inspired by the finest examples the maritime world has to offer. Hand crafted by skilled masters in model shipbuilding, the designs for these ships are gleaned from actual blueprints of existing ships and are true replicas of the original. Sailing enthusiasts will enjoy the intricate detail of the sailing ships we offer, from the hand-sewn fabric sails to the miniature rigging and polished wood decks of our yachts. The scale models of the powerboats we offer are built just as meticulously, featuring a detailed cockpit complete with gauges, along with the shiny motor and propeller. Polished wood gleams from stain or is meticulously hand painted. From vintage sloops to classic wood-hulled powerboats, many of these "miniatures" are far from the tiny models one might display in a small cubbyhole. With large ship models measuring up to five feet in length, these nautical marvels don't just make a design statement—they define the decor of the room in which they are displayed. Display one of these beautiful models alone on a table, steamer truck or credenza, and all eyes will be drawn to it. Smaller scale models range in length from 11-20 inches and are perfect for grouping. We also offer a charming mobile of A-Cup yachts, perfect for hanging in an office or library. All our ship models come with their own table stand or can be displayed with an optional wall bracket. |

Armadillo offensive line coach, Lyle Sizemore, has been suspended from the team for "not yelling enough," according to Coach Bryant. The length of the suspension is unknown as of press time, but Sizemore has not been seen at any of this week's two-a-day practices, nor in any weight room sessions, since the incident occurred during the Monday morning practice.
According to witnesses, the event that caused the suspension was a missed assignment from potential starting right guard, Brock Higgins. Higgins' blown block allowed a TFL (tackle for loss) on a routine running play. Immediately after the tackle, Coach Sizemore moved in and addressed Higgins. However, it was noted that Sizemore did not grab Higgins by the facemask, or any other part of his person, nor did he explode in a fit of rage – much to the chagrin of the estimated crowd of 2,000 watching the practice.
Instead, Sizemore calmly took Higgins aside and began to go over – in detail – the reasons for his missed assignment. "He was going over technique," said linebackers coach, Jim Haskell, "and giving him a primer on pad level and squaring his shoulders. He told him it was all about getting leverage on the guy across from him. That evolved into a lesson about acquiring defenders once he was in space. It was odd though, because he did it all in a normal tone of voice – just calmly explained what he did wrong and what he needed to do to fix the problem."
That's when Coach Bryant burst on to the scene. Bryant lit into Sizemore with a tirade not seen since last season's drug-induced blowout loss to Sintown.
The chewing out session was a spot-on example of how Bryant wants his coaches to coach his players. In dressing Sizemore down, Bryant hit all the points of proper football coaching technique:
• Begin by yelling so loudly and angrily that everything is unintelligible
• Wave arms, and as much of torso as possible, frantically
• Perspire profusely
• Yell so much your face becomes beet red
• Fire off wads of spittle when using any bilabial fricative
• Spout old-school clichés such as, "you could ruin a free lunch" and "I think we found the missing village idiot"
• Ask the given player to do mathematically impossible tasks like "giving 110%"
• Be hoarse after completing rant
Coach Bryant released a short statement after practice, stating that, "I'm not sure what got into Coach Sizemore. There's no place for rational discourse on a football field."

I would like to buy a book on fitting. I especially need help with my 7 yr old daughters forward sloping shoulders/narrow chest. I'm trying to sew a basic dress with flat, fitted sleeves at the shoulder, not dropped. (I get bodices that want to pull from the underarm to center neck.) Could some one recommend a book or two that you think would be most likely to help me? Thankyou!
Fit For Real People is very good. I'm also looking into purchasing The Complete Photo Guide To Perfect Fitting, by Sarah Veblen.
I have a lot of fitting books and my favorite is probably the recently released Photo Guide to Fitting by Veblen. I think that the photos really make a big difference in understanding how to read the problem. I do feel that no one fitting book handles everything and I'd also get the Palmer pletsch book as well.
I agree w/ Nancy K on Sara Veblens perfect fitting. I have just started reading Perfect Fitting - love it!
------Get the quilters OUT OF MY WAY!
Have a look at this thread for recommendations.
Thankyou, all of you for giving your input! I really appreciate it!
I'm fond of Sandra Betzina's book Fast Fit. Mainly because I can flip to a certain problem and find a solution easily.

Iron (18mg) Overview
Iron supplements are often recommended whenever dietary intake of iron fails to meet the body's needs. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia and many other problems. When choosing an iron supplement, it helps to be aware that the chelated form of iron used in Twinlab's 18 mg Iron supplement is easy on your stomach and non-constipating. The stomach irritation and constipation issues are common with inorganic prescription iron supplements like ferrous sulfate. But Twinlab Iron is easy-to-absorb, easy on the system and has only a moderate potency of iron, an added safety feature since excess iron is not beneficial. Be sure to always take Twinlab Iron with solid food.
Iron (18mg) Description from TWINLAB One hard gelatin capsule supplies 18 mg of elemental iron (from chelated ferrous fumarate).
Thankfully, I easily absorbed this iron with NO stomach upset! A blood test verified it. It is the BEST! I have suggested it to others many times with similar results. :

Comments (30)
I can't determine if this stones fest was a good scene or a bunch of wankers playing to wankers. I LOVE the stones, so I'm kinda upset I missed it, but none of these musicians are that dangerous. I mean, Keith Richards pinky is cooler then the collective showcased here. Knameen?

When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake,
Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break.
Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream,
You feel like murder in the first degree.
Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator,
Don't matter where you are,
Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator.

Sorry Evan Rachel Wood, but you fucked Marilyn Manson and for that I can never take you seriously as a human being.

Jesus, can't figure out which is worse: Nicole Atkins, or the entire rest of this lineup.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Wonder how much 1%er money this raised for the 1%ers.

Any comments from anybody who actually attended this?
Posted by Anonymous | February 28, 2012 12:34 PM
These fests (Petty, Dylan) started out as a fun kinda "cool" downtown musicians celebrating the artists thing. Now its primarily comprised of C/D level comedian/actors either making a joke of it or trying too earnestly to "rock." Depressing.
These photos are awful too. Was anyone there? Were there more than 3 people on stage at any one time? Its hard to tell since every shot is a macro close up. At least now we're all intimately familiar with what the inside of Jody Porters nostrils look like, and baby it ain't pretty...
Posted by Anonymous | February 28, 2012 12:45 PM
@12:34 I was there It was awesome, and it was a packed house to whoever said it looked empty. If you like the Rolling Stones, it was an awesome show! These guys know how to play music!
Posted by Anonymous | February 28, 2012 4:57 PM
^ from this twat's blog post ...
"My first NYC concert was AMAZING! The musicians. The people. The venue. Every note played was perfect, even when people forgot lyrics. It was one of those shows that felt like family, there was no division between the audience and the performers… Just the love for the music. People doing music for the sake of music. That was all. Even the people in the audience were legends. AND everyone was drinking and smoking pot and passing it around and going crazy in the best of ways. And the musicians and singers were so freaking awesome!"

I love it how the people that actually went loved it and the rest of you are just bashing what you don't even know. Nice.

For Whirlpool Outer Tub, Front (Part Number: AP3773838)
Scott B. for Model Number GHW9100LW1
Answer Hello Scott, The only time the rear half of the tub is replaced is if the spin bearing or tub seal fails. The only other reason is a crack/leak. Even if you were keeping the unit for your personal use, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Dan for Model Number GHW9100LW2
Answer Hello Dan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you will need to replace the front tub 285982 and rear tub assembly W10253864. Hope this helps.
Rob for Model Number 11042822201
Answer Hello Rob. No, I would replace the front tub assembly 285982 as I am replacing the rear tub assembly W10253864. This will prevent the unit from developing a leak, where the tub has become weak from the damage to it. Hope this helps.
Bobby for Model Number WFW9750WW01
Answer Bobby, First off, you have the wrong part number for the model number you supplied, for a WFW9750wwo1, the outer tub front would be, W10250762 (the front half of the outer tub).

Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. 3. Pull the washer away from the wall. 4. Remove the detergent dispenser assembly 5. Loosen the clamp and remove the main water feed tube from the detergent dispenser. 6. Pull the free end of the main water feed tube from the tub opening.7. Remove the eight hex-head screws from the front frame and remove the frame. 8. Remove the 1/2? bolts (3 each) from the front top and bottom tub weights, and remove the weights from the tub. 9.

Thanks and Good Luck
Mai L. for Model Number 110.42822201
Answer Hello Mai. Yes, based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the front tub 285982 and the rear tub W10253864. The inner basket should be fine, unless it got damaged as well. You will need to remove it and inspect the basket. You will need to remove the entire tub assembly from the cabinet to replace the parts. Hope this helps.
Jason for Model Number GHW9150PWO
Answer Hello Jason. Based on the information you provided, it does sound like the basket W10250573 and outer tubs W10253864 285982 will need to be replaced. Thanks.
Ed for Model Number ghw9100lw2
Answer Hello Ed. If the front tub does not have any holes in it and can be cleaned up with no burs, you can still use the old front tub assembly. Hope this helps.
Kevin for Model Number GHW9100LW1
Answer Hello Kevin. Yes, you will need to replace the rear outer tub W10253864, and the front outer tub as well. Hope this helps.
Roger for Model Number GHW91OOLW1
Answer Hello Roger. You can remove the back access panel and see if the bearing has been leaking, or if it has play in it. If so, the tub assembly will need to be replaced. The clapms pull off and push on. You can use channel lock pliers to remove them and a small hammer to tap the down onto the tub. Be careful not to crack the tub. They do not make a special tool to install these. Hope this helps.
Guest for Model Number ghw9150pwo
Answer Hello! The outer tub W10253864 will include the bearings. The bearings are not available separately. Thanks!

United States Cancer Statistics (USCS)Technical Notes: Statistical Methods: Incidence and Death RatesCrude rates are helpful in determining the cancer burden and specific needs for services for a given population, compared with another population, regardless of size. Crude rates are calculated as follows Crude and age-specific incidence rates equal the total number of new cancer cases diagnosed in a specific year in the population category of interest, divided by the at-risk population for that category and multiplied by 100,000 (cancers by primary site) or by 1 million (ICCC groupings of childhood cancers). Crude and and age-specific death rates equal the total number of cancer deaths during a specific year in the population category of interest, divided by the at-risk population for that category and multiplied by 100,000. Crude Rates vs. Age-Adjusted Rates 2000 U.S. Standard Population Age Groups The 2000 U.S. standard population weights used for this report are based on single years of age from the Census P25-1130 series estimates of the 2000 U.S. population. Populations for single years of age are summed to form the age groups. These standard weights are used to compute age-adjusted incidence and death rates by the method of direct standardization as implemented in the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) SEER*Stat software. Ideally, crude, age-adjusted, and age-specific rates are used to plan for population-based cancer prevention and control interventions.2 References1Anderson RN, Rosenberg HM.

Get the Best Priced Mercedes 300SDL Air Filter
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Mercedes 300SDL Replacement Air Filter Information
A Mercedes 300SDL is a wonderful ride that will provide great handling as well as comfort for everyone in the vehicle at all times. Outstanding capability and performance rely on top-notch components and accessories. When you own a high-performance automobile it requires the best quality aftermarket and OEM parts. Reliable Mercedes 300SDL Air Filters does the job by employing a screen made from paper or fiber to stop the harmful dirt and grit before they can enter the combustion chamber. Your car's Air Filter is an extremely essential component that minimizes the amount of dirt and dust that are able to get to the car or truck's intake manifold and produce wear. Your car or truck's motor burns a mixture of gas and oxygen; the air is provided from outside the car and often can contain bits of dirt or dust. Constructed out of crinkled parts of fabric of synthetic texture in an extraordinarily easy form, the Air Filter is placed right in line with your air intake. Examine your Air Filter each time you replace the oil; when it's blackened by dirt, get a new filter as soon as possible.
They are available for the following Mercedes 300SDL years: 1987, 1986, 87, 86. This part is also sometimes called Mercedes 300SDL Filters. We stock air filter parts for most Mercedes models including E320, C230, 300D, ML320, 300SD, ML350, C300, C280, E350, S500, CLK430, SLK230, E300, 300TD, 300E, 190E, SL500, 560SL, S430, C240, CLK320, E55 AMG, 240D, S320, 380SL, 420SEL, E430, GL450, C320, 500SL, E500, 560SEL, ML430, 300SE, S420, SLK320, 450SL, C63 AMG, GLK350 and 300SL.
We stock these Air Filter brands for the Mercedes 300SDL: Mann, Hengst, WIX, K&N, Beck Arnley, Hastings and Mahle.
I purchased a few items from this site and was very pleased as the items were shipped to me quickly.
I needed an air filter for my 300sdl, drop the new one in an toss the old one . My Benz can breathe again. Great shipping too , came really fast and packaged nicely with large bubble wrap if ordering fragile parts...... Thanks PartsGeek satisfied customer!!!

For ultrafluffy potatoes, Grace Parisi presses them through a ricer. To achieve a similar texture, pass the potatoes through a food mill or a fine-mesh sieve. If you choose to mash them by hand, be gentle; otherwise, the potatoes will turn gluey. Grace offers other creative ideas for fluffy mashed potatoes like Mashed Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese and Fresh Thyme and Mashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash.
- 6 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered (see Note)
- 4 peeled garlic cloves
- 2 cups canola oil
- 6 large shallots, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
- Kosher salt
- Tip: Yukon Gold potatoes have yellow flesh and a naturally creamy texture, which makes them ideal for mashed potatoes. They're available at most supermarkets.
In a large pot, cover the quartered potatoes and garlic cloves with cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the canola oil until shimmering. Add the shallots in a single layer and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to paper towels to drain.
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, shaking out the excess water. Add the half-and-half and butter to the pot and heat until melted. Remove from the heat. Press the potatoes and garlic through a ricer into the pot and season with salt. Stir and cook over moderate heat until very hot. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle the shallots with salt and garnish the potatoes with the shallots.

Heal, K.V. and Hepburn, D.A. and Lunn, R.J. (2006) Sediment management in sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) ponds. Water Science and Technology, 53 (10). pp. 219-227. ISSN 0273-1223
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
Since removal and disposal of sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) sediment can incur high maintenance costs, assessments of sediment volumes, quality and frequency of removal are required. Sediment depth and quality were surveyed annually from 1999-2003 in three ponds and one wetland in Dunfermline, Scotland, UK. Highest sediment accumulation occurred in Halbeath Pond, in the most developed watershed and with no surface water management train. From comparison of measured potentially toxic metal concentrations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) with standards, the average sediment quality should not impair aquatic ecosystems. 72-84% of the metal flux into the SUDS was estimated to be associated with coarse sediment (>500 μm diameter) suggesting that management of coarse sediment is particularly important at this site. The timing of sediment removal for these SUDS is expected to be determined by loss of storage volume, rather than by accumulation of contaminants. If sediment removal occurs when 25% of the SUDS storage volume has infilled, it would be required after 17 years in Halbeath Pond, but only after 98 years in Linburn Pond (which has upstream detention basins). From the quality measurements, sediment disposal should be acceptable on adjacent land within the boundaries of the SUDS studied.

West ready for first full season with Mavs
OCT 04, 2012 12:38p ET
"Well, he's a terrific all-around player. He gives us something really in virtually every area of the game," Carlisle said. "Offensively, he can score and make plays. Defensively, he can be one of the better defenders at his size in this league and we like his experience. He gained a lot of credibility last year in our locker room with our guys. I'm happy to have him back."
Along with the rest of the Mavs, West headed to Germany for the start of preseason play on Wednesday afternoon. While every member of the Dallas roster was looking forward to the trip that will see them play one game in Berlin and another in Barcelona, Spain before returning in the middle part of next week, this veteran guard was excited for a different reason.
"I've never left the United States," he admitted. "I'm looking forward to it. It's a great thing the NBA's doing now that the game's gone so global, getting teams out there and allowing other countries to experience the NBA experience. Just bringing Dirk [Nowitzki] back home [to Germany], that shows you the NBA is global and the NBA is doing the right thing."
By every account, it was a quiet summer for the 29-year-old guard. West did appear in Nowitzki's celebrity baseball game in Frisco right before the start of free agency but that was about the only time he spoke to the media. And he admits having a summer where his name wasn't in the news is definitely a big positive.
"That's a good thing, ain't it? I tried my best," he said. "I was itching to get on that Twitter and everything. I just kept things in perspective. I didn't want to put the organization, the franchise in any type of compromised position. I still had to do things the right way. I was a free agent. I wanted to be here."
Of the 44 games he appeared in last season for Dallas, he started in 33 of those. But with an influx of backcourt talent in the form of Darren Collison, the new starting point guard and O.J. Mayo, who figures to start at the two, West's impact this season figures to come off the bench, which is just fine with this native of Washington, D.C.
"I'm honored and blessed at this opportunity. They extended my contract. Some people say I'm crazy. I just have a different way of looking at things. I feel like I'm on a two-year contract. I am on a multiyear, it just started last year," he said. "I'm very happy. My family's blessed and I just thank Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson for giving me the opportunity to help this franchise win."
And one big reason why he wanted to return is because he thoroughly enjoyed his first year under Carlisle, who is known as a coach who holds his players accountable while also developing great relationships with them both on and off the court. Furthering that relationship with the veteran NBA head coach is definitely something he looks forward to doing this season.
"It's great because Coach Carlisle gets it. He really gets it. He was a player himself and he just gets it, understands what players go through," West said. "He understands that fine line I have between that competitive drive that I have that sometimes crosses over and I hold onto anger. He understands me. It's a good relationship."
One big reason why the relationship between coach and player is so rock solid is because it is a relationship built on the high level of mutual respect they have for one another. "I love him as a kid," Carlisle said. "I love the fact that he faces challenges day-to-day, meets them head on and he's honest. He and I talk a lot. It's a relationship that isn't always smelling like roses, but we manage to grow because we're talking all the time. It's important that I hear what he has to say because he's a knowledgeable guy. Sometimes he's got to listen to me. Sometimes he's not crazy about it."
Carlisle isn't a coach who gets caught up in who should play what position so he can have the perfect lineup. No, he holds firm to the belief that if a guy's a good basketball player then he'll get minutes. That's definitely how he sees West, who he loves as an all-around player above all else. Should D-West stay healthy for the entire year and there isn't any reason to think he won't, then he figures to again be a key contributor to a retooled Mavs squad that once it starts to gel as a unit could be a true dark horse in the Western Conference.

IDEAS reports - strategic updates, Kitchen, Nicholas (ed.) SU005. LSE IDEAS, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The LSE IDEAS Latin America International Affairs Programme bring together in this report a group of leading experts to discuss the challenges facing Latin America's energy producers. In the last decade many Latin American states used rising commodity prices to underpin domestic redistributive policies, and those high prices have made the region an important one to watch in the global energy market. Progress towards regional policy coordination has been hampered by diplomatic arguments, country variations and national interests. With growing domestic demand and insufficient energy supplies, the role of energy transcends the national, regional and international levels of Latin American politics, and demonstrates the importance that this sector will play in the decade ahead.

The spinning sidebands observed in the C-13 MAS NMR spectra of cis,cis-mucononitrile oriented in liquid-crystalline media and of the neat sample in the solid state are studied. There are differences in the sideband intensity patterns in the two cases. These differences arise because the order parameters which characterize the orientation of the solute in the liquid-crystalline media differ for different axes. It is shown that, in general, the relative intensities of the sidebands contain information on the sign and magnitude of an effective chemical-shift parameter which is a function of the sum of the products of the principal components of the chemical-shift tensor and the corresponding order parameters with respect to the director. A method for obtaining the orientation of the carbon chemical-shift tensor is proposed. The carbon chemical-shift tensors obtained from gauge-including atomic orbital calculations are also presented for comparison. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

This was even if the United States urges Japan to do so in order to normalise beef trade. Japan is set to ease a ban on US beef imports after a panel at Japan's independent Food Safety Commission said that beef from American cattle aged 20 months or younger is safe if risk materials that could transmit mad cow disease are removed. If Japan limits imports to beef from these younger cattle, the volume of imports is likely to be only 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the amount Japan imported before the ban was imposed in 2003, government and industry officials estimate. Nakagawa acknowledged that safety measures against mad cow disease in Japan are stricter than internationally accepted standards. However, he said it would be difficult to ease food safety regulations if Japanese consumers want strict rules and if Japanese scientists support them. "Relaxing regulations will produce a negative result if the action deepens consumer concerns (about food safety)," Nakagawa told reporters. Japan imposed a ban on US beef and beef products in December 2003 after the first US case of mad cow disease was discovered in Washington state. Before the ban, Japan was the top importer of US beef. In 2003, it imported 240,000 tonnes of US beef then valued at $US1.4 billion ($A1.87 billion), about one-quarter of total Japanese beef demand. Nakagawa said that even if Japan resumes US beef imports, the government might ban them again if it discovers any violation of the agreement. "It will be a matter of trust in the US system," he said. In October last year Japan agreed with the United States to resume imports of beef from cattle aged 20 months or younger, pending approval by the Food Safety Commission. The younger cattle are considered to be at low risk from mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The two countries also agreed that specified risk materials, such as bovine heads and spinal cords, must be removed from cattle of all ages before the meat is shipped to Japan. Nakagawa, 52, a former trade minister, is taking up the post of farm minister for a second time. http://docket.epa.gov/edkfed/do/EDKStaffAttachDownloadPDF?objectId=090007d480993808 http://docket.epa.gov/edkfed/do/EDKStaffCollectionDetailView?objectId=0b0007d48096b40d seems EPA mad cow urls are dead again, here is link; http://www.vegsource.com/talk/madcow/messages/1000048.html TSS

The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust and the Beautiful Killers Who Inspired Chicago
During the 1920s, a rash of killings rocked Chicago. The murderers were young women who drank, and most killed their lovers. Most were white and all-male juries that refused to believe women were capable of cold-blooded murder released most of them. During this time, the crimes were reported in the newspapers by "sob sisters," female reporters who were able to interview female inmates and victim's family members.
Everything Matters!
Someone should count how many coming-of-age novels have ever been written that focus on white, male characters. To me, it seems like every time I browse around in a bookstore and skim through the back covers of books in the "New & Hot Fiction" section, the onslaught of these story set-ups just doesn't end. I realize that some topics never get boring, like love, betrayal, or war.

Book Review: Digital Archaeology: the Art and Science of Digital Forensics 14
Digital Archaeology: The Art and Science of Digital Forensics | |
author | Michael Graves |
pages | 600 |
publisher | Addison-Wesley Professional |
rating | 9/10 |
reviewer | Ben Rothke |
summary | Excellent introductory text to digital forensics |
The book shows you precisely how to extract those artifacts effectively. And in a little over 500 pages, the books 21 chapters, provides a comprehensive overview of every area relevant to digital forensics. The author brings his experience to every page and rather than being a dry reference, Graves writes an interesting reference guide for the reader who is serious about becoming proficient in the topic.
Rather than provide dry overview of the topics and associated hardware and software tools. The books take a real-world approach and provides a detailed narrative of real-world scenarios.
An important point Graves makes is that a digital investigator who does not understand the basic technology behind the systems they are investigating is going to be at a distinct disadvantage. Understanding the technology assists in the investigative process and ensures that the evidence can be held up in court.
The need to a proficiency in digital forensics is manifest in the recent attack against Target stores. After an aggressive attack, the store called in external digital forensics consultants to help them make sense of what happened.
The book starts with an anatomy of a digital investigation, including the basic model an investigator should use to ensure an effective investigation. While the author is not a lawyer; the book details all of the laws, standards, constitutional issues and regulations that an investigator needs to be cognizant of.
The author notes that Warren Kruse and Jay Heiser wrote in Computer Forensics: Incident Response Essentials that the basic computer investigation model was a four-part model with the following steps: assess, acquire, analyze and report. Graves breaks those into more detailed and granular level levels that represent processes that occur within each step. These steps are: identification and assessment, collection and acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and reporting.
Chapter 2 has a section on the constitutional implications of forensic investigation, of which is the topic is also pervasive throughout the book.
As noted, a significant portion of the book is dedicated to the legal aspects around digital investigations. Graves spends a lot of time on these needed issues such as search warrants and subpoenas, basic elements of obtaining a warrant, the plain view doctrine, admissibility of evidence, keeping evidence authentic, defining the scope of the search, and when the Constitution doesn't apply.
The only chapter that was deficient was chapter 13 – Excavating a Cloud. Graves writes that the rapid emergence of cloud computing has added a number of new challenges for the digital investigator. The chapter does a good job of detailing the basic implications of cloud forensics. But it unfortunately does not dig any deeper, and does not provide the same amount of extensive tool listings as do other chapters.
Each chapter closes with a review of the topic and various exercises. Those wanting to see a sample chapter can do so here.
For those looking for an introductory text on the topics of digital forensics, Digital Archaeology: The Art and Science of Digital Forensics is an excellent read. Its comprehensive overview of the entire topic combined with the authors excellent writing skills and experience, make the book a worthwhile reference.

National Fallen Firefighters' Foundation Relocates Offices
Recruits from Anne Arundel County and Howard County fire personnel load office supplies onto a truck.
Photo credit: Photo by Susan Nicol/Firehouse.com
EMMITSBURG, Md. – Preparations for the annual National Fallen Firefighter Memorial Weekend are now at warp speed as staff and volunteers plan for the possibility of being blocked from campus if the federal government is shut down.
"Regardless of what happens, we will have a memorial service this weekend. We will make it happen," explained Ron Siarnicki, executive director of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
On Monday morning, a recruit class from Anne Arundel County loaded boxes of supplies, candles and other items from the NFFF office onto a truck.
The staff is relocating its headquarters to the Emmitsburg Volunteer Ambulance Company for the week.
Their contingency plan for Mother Nature now has a contingency plan for the pending shutdown. Negotiations have been in the works for more than a week, and the movement has ramped up the past few days.
If the federal campus is closed, families will be barred from seeing their fallen firefighter memorial and the plaque bearing their loved one's name. Also, the volunteers who normally stay in the dorms will be out.
Should that happen, escorts, honor guard members and pipe and drum corps participants will be housed at Howard County Fire and Rescue Services.
The Vigilant Hose Company in Emmitsburg also has stepped up to the plate and offered to feed honor guard members Friday night and on Saturday.
As the recruits and staff members dismantled decorations in the chapel, others were meeting on a myriad of issues including how and where to prepare and serve meals.
Right now, the candlelight service is set for the Basilica, while the memorial service will be moving to Mount St. Mary's University.
The ceremony last year was held at the local university due to inclement weather.
This is usually crunch time for organizers, but this year it has taken on a new pace.

Our two month stay at this casita was a pleasure. Our hosts, Sandi and Mike, could not have been more helpful with introducing us to the area, which was all new to us. The casita was well equiped and very comfortable. We enjoy barbequing outdoors so our hosts made sure that we had a new one delivered when we expressed our wish . We were constantly in touch with home with the internet connection and the satellite dish for Canadian TV news. The beautiful courtyard with flowers and fountain made sitting outdoors a pleasure. We certainly enjoyed our stay and hope to return .

Perfect cottage in an ideal area
March 4, 2012
This house is a perfect hide-away for two. It is in a quiet area, centrally located between Chapala and Ajijic, and we divided our time between the two towns, and surrounding areas. You do need a car to get around, but it is not far to get to anything. The owner, Sandi, is helpful and friendly. The courtyard with fountain is very relaxing. The house does not have a view of the lake, but it is about a half block walk to the water.
We were there over Christmas and had a wonderful time and loved the casa.
Thank you.

Deep hypothermia to 20°C is used clinically for major pediatric and adult surgical procedures. In particular, it is used in the "standstill operation" where blood flow is stopped for up to 30 min. Patients recovering from these procedures can exhibit neurological deficits. Such deficits could arise from changes to dendritic spines and plasticity-induced changes in network function as a result of cooling and/or re-warming. In the brain, each dendritic spine represents a single excitatory synapse and their number can be reflective of injury or plasticity-induced changes in network function. This research sought to determine whether deep hypothermia and re-warming have detrimental effects on synaptic stability and network function.
In vivo 2-photon (2-P) imaging in green/yellow fluorescent protein (GFP/YFP)-expressing transgenic mice was performed to determine whether 4 hours of deep hypothermia and 2 hours of re-warming can have relatively covert effects on dendritic spine and presynaptic bouton stability. At the same time, electroencephalographic (EEG) activity was recorded to evaluate network function during deep hypothermia and re-warming.
We report that deep hypothermia and subsequent re-warming did not change the stability of dendritic spines or presynaptic boutons in mouse somatosensory cortex measured over 8 hours. As expected, deep hypothermia attenuated ongoing EEG activity over 0.1–80 Hz frequencies. The effects on EEG activity were fully reversible following re-warming.
These results are consistent with deep hypothermia being a safe treatment which could be applied clinically to those undergoing major elective surgical procedures.
