Moto X "touchless" Android phone unveiled at exclusive New York event
By Eric Mack
August 1, 2013
Today, after months of hype, anticipation and sometimes wild rumors, Motorola finally unveiled the Moto X, its first Android flagship phone fully designed and delivered since becoming a subsidiary of Google.
I was invited to the official New York City unveiling to be among the first to lay hands on the Moto X on behalf of Gizmag. A full review and hands on video will be forthcoming soon.
The low-key reveal took place in a small space a few blocks from the Hudson River, where Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside greeted groups of about 25 journalists each before handing things over to Motorola product head Rick Osterloh, who demonstrated the capabilities of the Moto X while taking questions.
It turns out that many of the numerous leaks and rumors we've been hearing about the Moto X were accurate.
Aware of its surroundings
As we first learned from Woodside at a conference back in May, the Moto X is loaded with sensors to allow it to be constantly aware of its environment. And just like its recently unveiled Droid siblings, the Moto X never totally plugs its digital ears, allowing it to spring into action at the drop of an "OK, Google Now."
Osterloh explained that the Moto X carries a "contextual core" that allows it to take action according to its current state or environment. For example, if the phone is set face down or stowed in a pocket, its display remains off. Simply turn the Moto X face up, and a lock screen with clock and notification icons appears, no need to press any buttons or say anything.
Half of the contextual core hardware handles the suite of sensors that helps the Moto X determine what is happening around it. The other half, according to Osterloh, is just listening for "OK, Google Now."
When that combination of words is spoken in the user's (mostly) unique voice pattern, the Moto X wakes up to listen for further commands. Each Moto X needs to be registered to the user's individual voice, but during Osterloh's demonstration, another journalist was able to hijack the demo device with his own voice.
Hands off
Touchless control via voice commands is a key pillar of Motorola's pitch for the Moto X. There's nothing really new here to people familiar with using Google Now, except that it's more deeply integrated into the Moto X, which can be operated by voice-only from as far away as 12 feet, and even when stowed in a pocket, said Osterloh.
Active noise cancelling on the always-on microphones inside the phone also allow it to tolerate a certain amount of background noise. Web searches, dictating texts, playing a favorite song and opening third-party apps are all possible without ever laying a finger on the Moto X, opening up all sorts of possibilities for certain activities like driving or exercising.
Taking photos has also been streamlined in the Moto X, which goes straight from sleep to camera mode with a special gesture that's basically just a couple twists of the wrist. Motorola calls it "quick capture," and it taps into the company's camera technology dubbed "Clear Pixel" that uses an RGBC sensor (the 'C' is for clear), which Motorola claims can capture up to 75 percent more light, translating to more detail and less blurring of images.
At the heart of the Moto X is the chipset introduced in the latest round of Droids – the Motorola "X8," which is somewhat misleadingly called an "eight core" system. In reality, the X8 is made up of the two-part "contextual core," a dual-core Qualcomm S4 running at 1.7GHz, and paired with a quad-core Adreno 320 GPU.
As with Google's Nexus 4, the Moto X has no hardware buttons, so in many instances, part of the screen real estate is given up for on-screen buttons.
Other key specs include 2 GB RAM, models with 16 GB and 32 GB of storage and a 4.7-inch 720 x 1280 AMOLED display.
A (custom) phone for everyone
And of course, Motorola's latest smartphone comes with a few options for customization, something that the company is pushing hard as part of Moto X's appeal to mainstream smartphone users.
"We're going after the mass market... the middle of the market," said Osterloh. "People that use smartphones in their daily life, but not those on the far-out leading edge."
In other words, the Moto X is more Droid than it is Nexus, but unlike the Verizon-exclusive Droid line, this phone will be available on the top 5 American carriers. It will run $199 with a contract and comes with 50 GB free on Google Drive. It's expected to hit those top five carriers towards the end of August and into September. Osterloh said that unlocked and international versions will come shortly thereafter.
New users can choose a custom color, accent color and even add a text phrase to the back plate of the Moto X via a program called "Moto Maker" which will be available initially online, or at AT&T store outlets.
Look for more on the Moto X here on Gizmag in the coming days as we spend more time testing out our review unit. Meanwhile, what are your early reactions to Motorola's first phone with Google baked into all eight cores? Let us know in the comments below.
So, one of the most important features touted in the marketing was customization, which you can only do if you are going to use AT&T as your carrier? Also, only if you order a customized phone is it manufactured in the US, but not a black or white phone? So, IF I'm on AT&T I can have a phone customized and manufactured in the US with a limited battery, limited memory, a plastic body, and last generation CPU? It has a curved back, ohhhh lala...that at its thickest is 1.5+mm thicker than my Droid RAZR Maxx with a 3300mAh battery? What happened to cutting edge, what happened to Google Glass thinking, what happened to innovation?
Did they learn nothing from the iPhone debacle? Carrier exclusivity is a dead end! Why, oh why, would they choose to roll out these customization capabilities (the only thing that makes it different than the Droid line on Verizon) exclusively on a single carrier?
Here I thought Google was going to impress us...better luck next time.

@Techo: very well said.
Now, speaking for the other 99.9% of readers:
This is an awesome, innovative phone. Google's acquisition of Motorola really worked some magic for the company, and products like the Moto X show that Motrorola is ready to be a serious contender in the smartphone industry.
Roma Khudoleyev1st August, 2013 @ 04:37 pm PDT
I hate that phone already. It is going to get noisier around the place.
Besides, voice recognition never works for me because of my accent.
Paul van Dinther1st August, 2013 @ 04:48 pm PDT
Could you say that again please...?
Gee Says1st August, 2013 @ 11:22 pm PDT
Google is known to spy for its own data mining operation and also hand over the data to the NSA. Now they released a phone that continuously listens and processes the audio stream. You are also encouraged to put up in Google cloud your pictures and videos for analysis - great for Google, bad for its unaware customers.
GoodLife032nd August, 2013 @ 05:28 am PDT
Cool device. But cool doesn't necessarily mean practical or usable. And I want a device that allows ME to determine when I want the microphone/camera on.
Marlon Meiklejohn2nd August, 2013 @ 08:45 am PDT
A continuing evolution of the MAAO (Multiple Applications Always On) AAA (AnyThing, AnyWhere, AnyTime) device that we NEED.
Oh, and it must be fusion powered.
Barry Dennis2nd August, 2013 @ 11:36 am PDT
My guess is that the new phones are getting better at being potentially dual purpose if you want to use them as a modular robot controller to fit in various robot shell designs, but remember we need the robot revolution because the only source of sustainable wealth is productivity that is "aware" of its dynamic biosphere repercussions as well. ( I hope such productivity enabled by robots will grow the fruit trees I need, for as history shows humans have failed to grow them because humans are too time sensitive, so the last chance to get the fruit trees we need is to have robots having no impatience plant and grow them and linked to the big ecological data cloud via these phones perhaps?)
Ahimsa Fruitarian3rd August, 2013 @ 09:09 pm PDT
It would be nice if you could leave the phone on a table and be on the other side of the room speaking and listening without the need for any headset..... through the use of directed sound so no one else can hear the conversation either.

Are seasonal patterns constant over time? A test for seasonal stability
Canova, F. and Hansen, B.E. (1995) Are seasonal patterns constant over time? A test for seasonal stability. Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, 13, (3), 237-252. (doi:10.2307/1392184).
Full text not available from this repository.
This paper introduces Lagrange multiplier tests of the null hypothesis of no unit roots at seasonal frequencies against the alternative of a unit root at either a single seasonal frequency or a set of seasonal frequencies. The tests complement those of D. Dickey, D. Hasza, and W. Fuller (1984) and S. Hylleberg, et al. (1990), which examine the null of seasonal unit roots. The authors derive an asymptotic distribution theory for the tests and investigate their size and power with a Monte Carlo exercise. Application of three sets of seasonal variables shows that, in most cases, seasonality is nonstationary.

Nuclear whistleblower asks to renounce citizenship
By BEN HARTMAN, 07/05/2011
Mordechai Vanunu tells 'Post' no country has offered him asylum but that if he is allowed to leave "I will get on first flight anywhere out of here."
Nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu on Saturday demanded that Israel rescind his citizenship in keeping with a new law that strips Israelis convicted of treason of their citizenship.
In a letter written to Interior Minister Eli Yishai and released to the media on Saturday Vanunu, a Beersheba native, says "I have no interest in Israeli citizenship, I don't want to go on living here." Rest of the article at the Jerusalem Post

Re: Revoking my Israeli Citizenship
I am Mordechai Vanunu that was kidnapped from Rome on September 30, 1986 by The Israeli Secret Services.
I was tried by The Jerusalem District Court and convicted of Aggravated Espionage, High Treason and Assisting the Enemy and I was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment. This followed an interview I gave to The London Sunday Times regarding the secret production of nuclear weapons materials in Israel.
I fulfilled the democratic principal of the right of the public to know.
I have served 18 years in Ashkelon Prison, mostly in solitary confinement.
I was released on 21 April 2004 with severe restrictions imposed by the Israeli Government.
Seven years past and the restrictions had been renewed again and again relying on The Emergency Laws from 1945.
Since my release I have lived 6 years in East Jerusalem and since September 2010 I live in Tel Aviv.
A Troubled Nation Feeds on Bin Ladin's Corpse
By John Grant
Supplying an army at a distance drains the public coffers and impoverishes the common people.
--Sun-Tzu, The Art of War
With the killing of Osama bin Laden by a 79-member JSOC hunter/killer team inside Pakistan, the nation has entered yet another of those moments when a news media that professes independence has become an unashamed cheerleader for militarism.
No one can deny the JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) Seal Team executed its killing mission with great competence and aplomb. They were also lucky that the bin Laden entourage had apparently become so confident of its safety that it was a bit lackadaisical.
Do You Live/Work in a Nuclear Evacuation Zone?
Physicians for Social Responsibility marked the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident (26 April 1986) by releasing a new interactive Evacuation Zone Map. It shows a person's residence in relation to a nuclear reactor and its evacuation zone. One third of the population of the United States (over 111 million people) lives within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor.
War Crimes Charges Anyone?: New Exposé of Big Oil's Role in the Iraq War
By James Ridgeway
When it was suggested the war in Iraq was about oil, Tony Blair,then the British prime minister, had this to say on February 6,2003:
"Let me just deal with the oil thing because… the oil conspiracy theory is honestly one of the most absurd when you analyse it. The fact is that, if the oil that Iraq has were our concern, I mean we could probably cut a deal with Saddam tomorrow in relation to the oil. It's not the oil that is the issue, it is the weapons…"
When You're Making Other Plans
A few days ago, I drove past the house we sold in 1994 to move to Nashville. There was a "For Sale" sign in the yard. Later, I went to the web, curious about the price. It's three times what we'd accepted. Then, I scrolled through the photographs. Had I not seen the front of the Tudor row house and known the house number, I wouldn't have recognized the rooms. Complete renovation. Gone was the breakfast bar my husband designed and built. Gone were the balcony tiles I'd helped him install. All gone, except the memories.
Mostly, friends came to us. It's what we preferred, because of our children.
We sat around the large table in the octagon-shaped dining room, its walls covered in a moody, almost smoldering coral.
It was the late 80s and early 90s and we called ourselves the Seinfeld gang. I was Jerry. My best friend Joan was Elaine.
We amused each other.

Premediated Murder
Premeditated Murder
By Missy Comley Beattie
I used to joke with my peace-movement friends, telling them I might self-immolate in front of the White House to make a statement about war. And, then, I'd laugh, saying there was just one glitch in the plan—I'd require so much Valium I'd be unable to strike the match.
For weeks, I've thought about a 26-year-old Tunisian man. Mohamed Bouazizi, educated, jobless, unable to feed his family, and desperate, doused himself with gasoline and died from his burns. This sacrificial act triggered the uprising in Tunisia and inspired other people across North Africa to do the same.
We are witness to revolution, civil wars, in which ordinary people are demanding basic rights.
Lately, I've been obsessing about the catastrophe of Fukushima, a crescendo of events as/more devastating than Chernobyl.
Petition to HELP JAPAN Shut Down Hamaoka & Tokai Nuclear Power
Dear Friends,
Yumi Kikuchi & Gen Morita are our good friends who live in Japan. They are anti-war & anti-nuclear activists who have done so much good work, both in Japan & internationally on these issues. Yumi & Gen translated "ADDICTED To WAR" into Japanese and were responsible for over 70,000 copies being sold in Japan. They also put Japanese subtitles on my film "What I've Learned About U. S. Foreign Policy" and screened it at the first ever Tokyo Peace Film Festival, which they organized. I could go on & on listing many of the things they have done to promote Peace in the world. Below is what they are asking us to do to help them now.

MORATORIUM: Any Radiation Exposure Is Unsafe
Warns Any Radiation Exposure Is Unsafe
Washington, DC - March 19, 2011 – Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) today called for a nationwide
moratorium on new nuclear reactors in the United States and a suspension of operations at the nuclear reactors with a similar design as those involved in the disaster in Japan, as well as those on fault lines. PSR cited the medical risks associated with any level of radiation exposure regardless of how small. Lower doses result in less chance of harm than higher doses, but any dose level can put an individual at risk.
Report Underscores Ticking Time Bomb Of US Nuke Power Plants
By Linn Washington, Jr.
A timely report from the Union of Concerned Scientists, based on data from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), contains troubling news about the state of America's vast network of nuclear power plants.
The report, which examined serious incidents at 14 U.S. nuclear power plants nationwide from New York to California in 2010, finds fault with both plant operators and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission which is supposed to oversee them.
"Many of these significant events occurred because reactor owners and even the NRC tolerated known safety problems," states the report, entitled: "The NRC and Nuclear Power Plant Safety in 2010: A Brighter Spotlight Needed."
While none of the 14 safety incidents tagged in the Union's report as "near misses" produced harm to nuclear plant employees or the public, the report terms the frequency of these incidents, which averaged more than one per month, "high for a mature industry."
Power Corrupts, Nuclear Power Corrupts Absolutely
Each day of the Fukushima I disaster brings news that in some way invalidates previous news on developments. There was a hitch, however, when Reueters reported that the only option left was to bury the plant (Reuters Pulls Story on Nuke Plant). The story was "disappeared" entirely. The one thing we know for sure is this - the nuclear industry is predicated on industry needs for profit and survival. Their time is up after this disaster.

The same day I awakened to breaking news of breaking tectonic plates, breaking nuclear reactors, and breaking hearts, I left my sister Laura's house for exercise and heliotherapy. An elderly woman pushed her walker in the middle of a street, a man entered his house with a giant box of Pepsi Cola attached to his arm, and another person was at his mailbox. All were costumed in Big Blue fan-ery.

The Idiocy and Hubris of Engineers: Will GE Get Whacked for the Catastrophic Failure of its Nuke Plants in Fukushima?
By Dave Lindorff
GE, the company that boasts that it "brings good things to life," was the designer of the nuclear plants that are blowing up like hot popcorn kernels at the Fukushima Daiichi generating plant north of Tokyo that was hit by the double-whammy of an 8.9 earthquake and a hugh tsunami.
The company may escape tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in liability from this continuing disaster, which could still result in a catastrophic total meltdown of one or more of the reactors (as of this writing three of the reactors are reported to have suffered partial meltdowns, and all could potentially become more serious total meltdowns with a rupture of the reactor container), thanks to Japanese law, which makes the operator--in this case Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) liable. But if it were found that it was design flaws by GE that caused the problem, presumably TEPCO or the Japanese government could pursue GE for damages.
Japan's Quake Could Have Irradiated the Entire US
By Harvey Wasserman, Editor, NukeFree.org
Had the massive 8.9 Richter-scale earthquake that has just savaged Japan hit off the California coast, it could have ripped apart at least four coastal reactors and sent a lethal cloud of radiation across the entire United States. (http://nukefree.org/ace-hoffman-computerized-graphic-what-if-chernobyl-h... )
The two huge reactors each at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon are not designed to withstand such powerful shocks. All four are extremely close to major faults.
All four reactors are located relatively low to the coast. They are vulnerable to tsunamis like those now expected to hit as many as fifty countries.
San Onofre sits between San Diego and Los Angeles. A radioactive cloud spewing from one or both reactors there would do incalculable damage to either or both urban areas before carrying over the rest of southern and central California.
Pakistani and Indian Newspapers Say US CIA Contrtactor Raymond Davis is a Terrorist
By Dave Lindorff
Pakistani and Indian newspapers are reporting that Raymond Davis, the CIA contractor in jail in Lahore facing murder charges for the execution-slayings of two young men believed to by Pakistani intelligence operatives, was actually involved in organizing terrorist activities in Pakistan.
As the Express Tribune, an English-language daily that is linked to the International Herald Tribune,reported on Feb. 22:
"The Lahore killings were a blessing in disguise for our security agencies who suspected that Davis was masterminding terrorist activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab," a senior official in the Punjab Police claimed.
Why Pakistan Cannot Release the Man Who Calls Himself Raymond Davis
Shaukat Qadir
Islamabad--By now journalists everywhere (except in the US) have come to the conclusion that there is far, far more to Raymond Davis than is being revealed by the US or by Pakistani officials. That he was engaged in anti-state activities in Pakistan and that the two young men he killed were intelligence agents tailing him is virtually an accepted fact.
The US, never famous for its diplomacy (The Ugly American, which made that point more than half a century ago, became a best seller and a very successful movie, starring Marlon Brando), seems to have discovered fresh depths to its strong-arm, coercive diplomacy. The mere fact that no less a personage than the US President has asked that this low-ranked person be granted absolute immunity, is indicative of the US desperation to get him him out of Pakistan and its court system.

Global Zero Leaders Herald U.S. Senate Ratification of New START Treaty
Statements from U.S. START 1 Chief Negotiator Amb. Richard Burt and Russian Sen. Mikhail Margelov
Washington DC – Leaders of the Global Zero movement today heralded the U.S. Senate's ratification of the New START Treaty.
Amb. Richard Burt, START 1 chief negotiator and Global Zero U.S. Chair, said:
"The Senate's action today was imperative for national security. The New START Treaty will continue the important process of reducing and monitoring U.S. and Russian Cold War arsenals, and pave the way for the critical next step: bringing all nuclear weapons countries into multilateral nuclear arms negotiations for the first time in history.
The Treaty will strengthen U.S-Russia relations -- which is essential for our efforts to prevent Iran from getting the bomb and to build a strong international coalition to stop nuclear proliferation worldwide."
What I Saw at the Pro-Nuclear Proliferation Press Conference in the U.S. Capitol
By Jay Marx
This sad event, held in a small conference room in the Capitol Visitors Center (Senate side), was sparsely attended by press, and sponsored by an outfit called the "New Deterrent Working Group," evidently an offshoot of the Center for Security Policy, and skipped by Sen Kyl (who evidently "had to go vote...").
But B*sh era relics John Bolton and Rick Santorum said their bits, and a few other notables offered statements. After an hour of paranoia, innuendo and misrepresentation, they did take a few questions and I was able to ask the first. Incredibly, they let me get all three questions in one. For those who are interested, they're below:
"Jay Marx, Proposition One. One correction if I may, as the Senate has held 18 committee hearings on the NEW Start treaty, not 12 as Mr. Gaffney just stated.

Book Review: Whole Lotta Lies
By Charles M. Young
Howard Zinn, probably the most influential American historian ever, had an amazing sense of humor when he lectured or met people in person. He could make fun of himself and the audience in a way that exploded the guilt and ambivalence that so often paralyzes liberals, progressives, greens, socialists, anarchists, communists and everyone else on the more-or-less left. Only occasionally, however, did Zinn use his sense of humor in print. His masterpiece, A People's History of the United States, had no humor at all, as he himself pointed out, because he didn't find anything funny about the Trail of Tears and all the other ghastly episodes he wove into a narrative that convinced millions of citizens the United States was something less than what they had believed.
The Secret Transfer of Nuclear Materials
START needs to be restarted, which was totally scrapped in the previous administration, and vigorously negotiated, with total common sense goals, to rid the planet of these Weapons of Total Mass Destruction!!
U.S., Kazakhstan complete secret transfer of nuclear materials
November 16, 2010 - Working under extraordinary secrecy, the U.S. and Kazakh governments in the past year have moved nuclear material that could have been used to make more than 770 bombs from a location feared vulnerable to terrorist attack to a new high-security facility.
In the largest such operation ever mounted, U.S. and Kazakh officials transferred 11 tons of highly enriched uranium and 3 tons of plutonium some 1,890 miles by rail and road across the Central Asian country.
A-bomb survivors outraged at Obama over subcritical nuclear test
Victims of atomic bombings expressed their disappointment at U.S. President Barack Obama after his administration carried out its first subcritical nuclear test last month.
"In a word, we feel betrayed. We strongly object to any kind of nuclear testing by any government for any cause, and it was unacceptable," said Sunao Tsuboi, 85, chairman of the Hiroshima Prefectural Confederation of A-bomb Sufferers Organizations.
Haruko Moritaki, 71, co-director of the Hiroshima Alliance for Nuclear Weapons Abolition (HANWA), also criticized Obama, saying, "It was a sign that the U.S. government is poised to maintain its nuclear development and capability while advocating a world without nuclear weapons. Such a contradiction is unforgivable. Furthermore, his approach can give countries like India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea an excuse to hold onto their nuclear arsenals."
Democrats Flummoxed: Republican Right Offers Reagan Redux
By James Ridgeway
The Republican right's Pledge to America is widely being compared with Newt Gingrich's Contract with America. But for those of us with long enough memories, it more clearly harkens back a decade further, to the early days of the Reagan Administration. Now, as then, the Republican agenda has two major political thrusts.
Obama's DOE conducts nuclear experiment
By Andrew Kishner
On Wednesday, September 15, the United States Department of Energy

the Nevada Test Site. The subcritical test dubbed 'Bacchus' is the
24th such controversial 'almost' nuclear test whereby plutonium is
bombarded by conventional explosives, short of blowing it up. The
first subcritical test was conducted by the U.S. in 1997 and the most
recent was 2006. The DOE is expected to give a 48 hour notice to the
world community in advance of any full-scale subcritical test but it
does not appear that this precedent was followed, and rather was
completely disregarded. One Nevada activist group has indicated that
they were on a list to get 48-hour notices but never received one.
The DOE's subcritical testing program, which is part of its Stockpile
Stewardship program, is problematic because it is nearly impossible to
Experiencing the Bomb
By Suzy T. Kane, Taos Horse Fly, Taos, New Mexico
I asked a bright and educated 33-year-old friend if she ever thought about the atomic bomb.
"No," she replied.
"What would it take for you to read an article about the bomb?"
"Well, I guess I'd read it if it were a story about people."
Shigeko Nimoto Sasamori
I met Shigeko over two years ago when she came to Taos [New Mexico] to introduce the screening of the documentary "White Light, Black Rain: the Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" in which she appears. This year commemorates the 65th anniversary of the bombing and because her mission is to make people aware of what happened so that such suffering and destruction will never happen again, she agreed to talk with me by telephone for this article.

Physician-researchers at the Schulze Diabetes Institute hope to one day eliminate type I diabetes through islet transplantation. The method used today -- in its final stage of clinical trial -- is allo-islet transplantation.
This procedure involves inserting islets from a human donor pancreas into the liver. The cells lodge in the liver's small blood vessels and, in most cases, begin producing insulin shortly after infusion.
As is the case for organ transplants, immunosuppressive drugs must be taken to prevent the body from rejecting the cells. Unlike a pancreas transplant, however, islet transplantation does not require major surgery.
During the islet transplant procedure, the patient is under light sedation. The surgeon injects the islets into the portal vein of the patient's liver. The whole procedure takes 30 minutes to 2 hours.
If successful, the transplanted islets will:
With a partially successful transplant, the recipient may benefit from more stable blood sugar control, needing less insulin, with fewer instances of hypoglycemia.
Since 2000, the Schulze Diabetes Institute has completed 4 allo-islet transplant trials involving patients with type 1 diabetes.
None of these patients experienced a serious, unexpected adverse event related to the islet transplant procedure or the immunosuppressive protocol.
These results are comparable to outcomes previously only attainable by whole-organ pancreas transplantation.
Allo-islet transplants are still experimental, and are currently only being performed in clinical trials; however, planning has begun to apply to the FDA for approval to make alloislet transplantation available as a clinical treatment.
We are in the final stage of our human islet transplantation trials, just one step away from this option being brought to market. Link here to learn more and find out if you are eligible to participate.
More than 90% of islet transplant recipients are insulin independent post-transplant, more than at any other center. Read about how this procedure has changed the lives of our patients.

I was looking in the JY for a new rear end for my truck. Trucks have their RPO list in the glove box. When I was looking in vans, they didn't have glove boxes and I couldn't find the label with the RPO's for the vehicle. Is there one like in the trucks? Thanks, -Dave
Welcome To The Site Dave......On some of the Chevy/GM Vans the SPID"Service Parts Identification Tag" with the RPO Codes, will be Located on one of the Plastic Storage Covers in the Rear of the Vehicle.
Thanks for the information Mike. I found this forum when I did a search on forums GM vans. When I had a Trailblazer the trailvoy forum that "migrated" to gmtnation.com was the best place for Trailblazer information. I have not found a forum that good for my GMC. Maybe it is here. I am running on the assumption that like years for GM trucks, vans and surburban all sit on the same frame and the axles will interchange. Is that correct? Thanks, -Dave
Well after reading for days and not finding much information on this topic on this site, I have found I have been under a misconception. Pickups, Suburbans, and Vans are not all the same rearend wise. From the site http://www.billavista.com, the G30 vans have the widest rear ends for 14 bolts. Therefor not a candidate for a swap under a C2500 chassis with utility box, maybe. They are 2.5" wider from Wheel Mounting Surfaces. The site doesn't talk about spring perk location for van rear axles. I would like to get the wider drums if I make a swap. That seems to be on 1 ton axles which all have 40.5 spring perch spacing compared to 42.5 for the 3/4T.

You could always use metal to metal it is a metal filler not a plastic filler it is by evercoat http://www.evercoat.com/productDetail.aspx?pID=37
Is this a hidden area? If it is, you could simply apply a urethane seam sealer over it. This is how I see it, cars have seams all over them. In many GM cars from the sixties for instance there is a seam, a large gap at each corner. This seam is filled with a seam sealer, it isn't welded up, it is filled with a seam sealer. Now, mind you, it wasn't the best seam sealer and it some times failed. But we are talking about a crappy seam sealer (compared to todays) over a very large seam in a car that spent decades out side.
With todays urethane sealers and epoxy primers, it is going to out last us all. Leading, sure, or replace it by welding in a new piece of metal. It depends on what your expectations are. Brian |
You didn't say what kind of car it is that you are working on, but I will try to answer anyway.
There are 2 issues I can see with trying to use lead. The products that you have already applied MAY react from the heat, and also effect the adhesion of the lead. Since I do not believe in using those products, I don't have any first hand knowledge on what they will do to the process. The other concern I would have is that the process for applying lead involves applying materials that will likely cause corrosion, atleast from the back side, where you cannot see it. Either way, short of cutting out the rust, it is likely going to come back. Aaron |
The car is a 65 dodge coronet convertible. I think that I misspoke on my original post. The holes are not from the rust. They are from the welding that I had to do. I used a spot weld cutter to gety the cowl off. The metal in the bends is thin and the old rust just made the metal thinner. I was having a problem with burning holes in the metal with the welder. It seems like the more I try to weld the worse the problem gets.
Not knowing your welding skill level, the problems could be from too much heat, too high a wire speed, too low of wire speed, just simply staying in one spot too long and on and on. Perfectly good sheet metal with no rust can be difficult to weld, let alone if it is thinned by rust. So you could have severely damaged metal that no one could weld to, or you lack in skills. It is hard to say.
"Tapping" the trigger to build up metal so you have something to weld to is a common fix for this problem. It is soooooo hard to say what to do not seeing it first hand. If one of us were there we may have a totally different suggestion than here over the monitor without even a picture. Not saying a picture would help much. But if you could take the picture, one from a distance way showing the spot marked, and then another real close up to see the metal. Where you are welding, are you "plug welding" where you are welding the hole that you drilled back up? Is it the metal on top, or the metal under that is blowing through? One common mistake is to direct the weld to the top metal, weld more on the underlying metal then once the weld is built up a little, and is still hot and molten WHILE you have the trigger pulled, move over to "grab" the top metal around the hold. Brian |
One thing just hit me, if you have some "rust magic" product on there, that could be a lot of the problem. Some rust products like Picklex are great and can be welded right thru. Others like POR are a nightmare. I don't know exactly what you did. CLEAN METAL is the first and formost need when welding.
Here is a thread on the subject with a link to a short article on the basics of welding that may be of help. It is written for people just as yourself. (click here) Brian |
I don't think the "rust magic" is the issue in my case. I masked off the areas to be welded before spraying the rust bullet on it. After the rust bullet dried, I unmasked the areas to be welded and sparayed a weld through primer in those areas. I know that alot of the issue is my skill level as a welder. I am new to it and am using a low end Lincoln gasless welder. It's one of those things where I know the more I dick with it the worse it could be. I reeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to pull the upper cowl again. It was hard enough to get the factory spot welds loose, much less my re-welds.
Gas-less is the way to go with your hunny under the covers, but for welding, you've just got to have gas!
Gas badddddd. Gas Good. Brian |
gassless on sheet metal is a losing battle, on the lead question, i personally love doing leadwork but the key is having clean metal. you stated that you sprayed on weld through primer first, therefore you dont have clean metal to work with so forget the lead i would use the metal to metal as rag to bird suggested it is a great product that I have used many times, the key with it is to make sure you first mix it first in the can really well and then mix it really well after you get it on your mixing board. The resins and metal tend to seperate when left sitting so mixing it is key!! I hope this helps you!

In this paper the results of PiC code simulations and a laboratory experiment to investigate the evolution of an electron beam subject to magnetic compression of up to a factor of 30 is outlined. The experiment consisted of a 75 keV electron beam with significant initial sbeam with significant initial spread in velocity injected into an adjustable convergent magnetic field generated by a solenoid arrangement. The aim was to produce a horseshoe shaped electron velocity distribution and study the subsequent evolution of this distribution within an interaction waveguide at the peak of the axial magnetic field.

Should our tax dollars keep Chrysler and General Motors alive?
In a sign of these strange economic times, Chrysler is simultaneously preparing to launch its first hybrid vehicles and to shut down their production.
Back in June, the company hyped the price benefits and performance achievements of its new hybrids, the 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid and the 2009 Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid, which were to be delivered to showrooms in August. That never happened, but on October 16, Chrysler released the official fuel economy numbers for the two hybrids: 20 miles per gallon in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which are best-in-class fuel economy ratings for full-size sport utility vehicles.
At that time, Chrysler said the hybrids would arrive in showrooms "later this year," and the company included a photo of the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid "after production at the Newark Assembly Plant" (note that the company dropped the "HEMI" from the name).
A week later, Chrysler announced that it will close the Newark Assembly Plant in Newark, Del., at the end of this year, a move that will bring an end to the Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen in all their forms, including the new hybrids.

Our View: This 'virtual money' turned into very real losses
The very tangible woes of the virtual currency Bitcoin are an object lesson for those who believe any government is bad government.
Most of us think of "money" as cash, coins and credit cards – things you can touch. Even if you never actually touch the stuff, your banks or credit companies send you a monthly accounting of how much you have and how much you've spent. You can see where your money goes – but so can bankers and, if it wants, the government.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency favored by people who don't want anyone else to see where their money goes. But a bitcoin's value can fluctuate depending on interest and speculation. The price has swung wildly from $1 per bitcoin to more than $1,200. The current exchange rate is about $848.
Some of Bitcoin's aficionados prefer to operate outside the law. For example, Silk Road, the recently busted Internet drug marketplace, used Bitcoin. More conventional businesses, such as Overstock.com, also accept Bitcoin. Recent events should give them pause.
Mt. Gox, the Japanese virtual currency exchange, announced it had lost 850,000 bitcoins – worth $480 million – through hacking. This led Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles to seek a very non-libertarian solution: bankruptcy protection. Last Sunday, the Canadian virtual currency outfit Flexcoin announced that it, too, had lost $600,000 to hackers, who had either stolen or cracked users' passcodes. Those passcodes apparently offered less protection than, say, a bank vault.
Bitcoin came to life on the fantasy-gaming website "Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange" – the acronym is Mt. Gox. Intended as a way to exchange fantasy cards, Bitcoin morphed into its own fantasy game.
The fantasy of a completely free market works great ... right up to the moment it doesn't. The notion of intrusive government is truly dreadful ... until the moment you need its protection.
Karpeles did say he was "very sorry" to the people who lost all that money. But investors have no recourse.
A boring, staid Federal Reserve note backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government has none of the cool cachet of Bitcoin. But then Bitcoin is not protected by the feds. Given a choice, we suspect Karpeles and his magic money friends today might prefer the warm virtual embrace of Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to that of the libertarian novelist Ayn Rand.
In the 19th century, different banks issued their own currencies. If the bank went under, the currency became worthless. Eventually, we settled on a single currency and built the world's greatest economy around it. Along the way, we've created all sorts of safeguards to protect out currency. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation backs deposits of up to $250,000, for instance. It might be big government, but those $20 bills you took out of the ATM this morning are still accepted at the coffee shop.
We create institutions such as banks to protect common people. With heavy oversight, most of those institutions work. When they don't, there are usually consequences and accountability. We can have real currency backed by governments, readily traceable, or we can have the anarchy of virtual currency tracked by no one.
One of the trademarks of anarchy is survival of the fittest. You're on your own with no one to help when theft and fraud occurs. The losers in the Bitcoin and Flexcoin thefts know how that feels.

Don't handle a new sugar glider for the first two days after bringing it home for the first time. A sugar glider needs time to acclimate to the new smells and sounds of its new environment. After two days, you can begin to bond with the sugar glider.
Before you hand-train your sugar glider, you need to bond with it first.
Hand-TrainingWhen it's time to hand-train a sugar glider, start in a small room with a securely closed door that has been sugar glider-proofed. Make sure spaces under doors and vents are blocked with towels to prevent a sugar glider from escaping. If you do this in a bathroom, be certain toilet lids and windows are shut. Stuffing towels between toilet lids and seats can prevent sugar gliders from ending up in the toilet, where they can drown.
Be sure to keep a hanging pouch or pocket available for the sugar glider to crawl into should it become frightened.
Next, take the sugar glider out of the pouch and allow it to crawl on your hands, arms and shoulders. If the sugar glider jumps off you, gently pick it up and place it back on your body each time. Do this consistently each time the sugar glider jumps off.
Once it stays on you consistently, try handling the sugar glider in other small, secured rooms.
Teach Others How To HandleBefore you let someone else handle your sugar glider, remember that many sugar gliders are afraid of strangers. Your sugar glider must be comfortable being handled by you before you allow a stranger to hold it.
Show other people how to handle your sugar glider by lifting your small pet up gently by the middle of its body and putting it in your cupped hand. Your sugar glider may want to crawl up the person's arm to their shoulder, so let them know this may happen.

E. The "river of Egypt" in Gen 15:18 cannot be the Nile:
A. Usage of Hebrew word for river in OT: Gen 15:18 uses: Heb "Nahar" (Strongs 5104)
1. Heb "Nahar" (Strongs 5104) of 98 uses and never refers to Nile except in Gen 15:18?
2. Heb: "Ye'or" (Strongs 2975) is used 57 times exclusively of the Nile river.
3. Heb "Nachal" (Strongs 5158) used of both the brook of Egypt and Euphrates in 2 Ki 24:7

Egyptian term exclusively used of Nile in Bible |
Brook of Egypt |
Nahal misrayim |
Wadi Arish: southern boundary of promised land |
River of Egypt (Gen 15:18) |
Nahar misrayim |
If the Nile, why didn't God use the exclusive term "Ye'or" but a one time exception "Nahar"? |
B. Contrasting sizes of rivers indicated textually in Gen 15:18
"from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates"
1. The text clearly indicates that the Euphrates is greater than the "River of Egypt"
2. The Nile is equal or larger than the Euphrates in size, If the Nile was meant the text would read,
a. from the great river, the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates; or
b. from the two great rivers, the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates; or
c. from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates
3. If the Wadi Arish was meant, the text would read exactly as it does!
C. If the Gen 15:18 says the Nile was boundary of land God promised Abraham Isaac & Jacob, then: They already lived in the promised land in Goshen while in slavery in Egypt! Exod 3:17 Why leave Goshen? They were home in the promised land making straw bricks!
a) Exod 3:17 "So I said, I will bring you up
out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'b) Exod 33:1
Depart, go up from here, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, `To your descendants I will give it.c) Deut 6:22-23 'Moreover, the LORD showed great and distressing signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh and all his household; and He
brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.'d) Deut 11:10 "For the land, into which you are entering to possess it,
is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden.F. Modern scholars who confirm the border was Wadi el-Arish:
G. The seaport of Tharu is the border between Egypt and Israel.

Bess, Forrest (1911-1977)
Contributing to the immediate and powerful impact of Bess's work is the artist's lively and bold handling of paint. Although he generally applied paint heavily and roughly, he occasionally created lush and overtly sensual effects. He usually employed strong, deeply resonant colors, often choosing ones that contrasted strongly with one another. Belying their powerful psychological presence, most of his paintings measure less than a foot square. Although most of his mature work is abstract, he did produce some highly stylized landscapes. In Seascape with Sun (ca 1947, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago), he evoked his profound interactions with the Gulf coast area; he represented the sea as a turbulent mass of black waves beneath an intense red sky with a bright orange sun. In Homage to Ryder (1951, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago), he paid tribute to the earlier American visionary painter, Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917), through the depiction of a landscape with brilliant light, fading at the horizon. Representation by Betty Parsons Gallery In 1949, hoping to find a broader audience for his work, he sold over forty of his older paintings for ten dollars each in order to raise money to travel to New York to find a dealer. Betty Parsons, who constantly demonstrated a willingness to promote highly distinctive and unconventional work, received his work warmly and agreed to serve as his dealer. Through her representation of many of the leading figures of the emerging Abstract Expressionist movement (including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman), Parsons had already established her gallery as one of the leading venues for contemporary art in New York during the 1950s and 1960s. Bess's commitment to visualizing the unconscious related his work to that of the leading Abstract Expressionists. However, the diminutive scale and obscure symbolism differentiated his paintings from their monumental and more extroverted works. In December 1949, Parsons gave Bess a one-person show, as she did again in 1954, 1957, 1959, 1962, and 1967. Helped by the prestige of his association with Parsons, Bess also received solo exhibitions at galleries and museums in other cities (including, among others, Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa, 1952; André Emmerich Gallery, Houston, 1958; Stanford University, 1958; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston, 1962). Despite the good reviews earned by these shows, Bess was able to sell very few paintings, and he had to depend primarily upon his bait business for his livelihood. The time and energy that he had to devote to catching shrimp severely restricted the quantity of his later artistic production. Therefore, from the mid-1940s onwards, Bess produced only approximately one hundred paintings. Pursuit of Androgyny During the 1950s, Bess became increasingly preoccupied with the severe split that he perceived in his own psychological makeup. In letters to Parsons, Bess explained that he felt deeply troubled by the conflict between "personality # 1," which he praised as masculine and aggressive, and "personality # 2," which he belittled as weak and effeminate. Most of Bess's acquaintances in Texas assumed that he was a homosexual, unable to do deal with the social stigma then widely associated with this sexual orientation. However, Bess believed that his inner turmoil had other sources. Through a profound mystical experience in the summer of 1953, Bess became convinced that the shapes that he had been recording in his paintings contained clues to the resolution of the conflict between his two personalities. To enhance his understanding of these forms, Bess corresponded at length with Carl Jung and other leading specialists in the psychological and spiritual significance of symbols in world cultures. Following suggestions made by these scholars, Bess read extensively in the fields of psychology, anthropology, and world religions. This research helped him to understand that the shapes in his visions and paintings corresponded with symbols for gender identities in many world cultures. Referring to theories developed by various cultural anthropologists, he determined that his visions encouraged the synthesis of male and female. By the late 1950s, he became convinced that he was the prophet of a new world order based on androgyny. Further, he believed that the physical fusion of genders within his own body would not only relieve his profound anxieties but also reveal the secrets of immortality to the human race as a whole. Determined to establish the truth of his convictions, Bess utilized surgery to create an opening, or fistula, at the junction of his penis with the scrotum. He believed that the insertion of another penis in this artificially created opening would produce an intense orgasm that would lead to spiritual awakening and, hence, to eternal rejuvenation.

Fido is a 2006 Canadian zombie comedy film directed by Andrew Currie and written by Robert Chomiak, Currie, and Dennis Heaton from an original story by Heaton. It was produced by Blake Corbet, Mary Anne Waterhouse, Trent Carlson and Kevin Eastwood of Anagram Pictures, and released in the United States by Lions Gate Entertainment.
The film takes place in a 1950s-esque alternate universe where radiation from space has turned the dead into zombies. This resulted in the "Zombie Wars", where humanity battled zombies to prevent a zombie apocalypse, with humanity the ultimate victor. The radiation still plagues humanity, as all those who die after the original contamination turn into the undead, unless the dead body is disposed of by decapitation or cremation. In order to continue living normal lives, communities are fenced with the help of a governing corporation named Zomcon. Zomcon provides collars with accompanying remote controls to control the zombies' hunger for flesh so as to use them as slaves or servants.
In the town of Willard housewife Helen Robinson (Carrie-Anne Moss) buys a zombie in spite of her husband Bill's (Dylan Baker) zombie phobia, as Bill has had bad experiences with zombies having been a veteran of the Zombie Wars. Their son, Timmy (K'Sun Ray), befriends the zombie, naming him "Fido" (his true name is never revealed, and little is revealed of his "pre-zombie" life, except that he died of myocardial infarction, and at one point Helen wishes she had met him before she got married and when he was still alive). One day, Fido's collar malfunctions and he kills their next door neighbor, who turns into a zombie. Timmy "kills" the zombified neighbor later, but not before she kills and infects another person, causing a small outbreak. Zomcom security forces quell the situation and then investigate what caused the outbreak.
When a pair of local bullies are blamed for the missing neighbor, they capture Fido and Timmy. Fido escapes and runs to find Helen, who comes and rescues Timmy from the bullies (who, through misadventure and Fido's hunger for human flesh, are now zombies), and they try to forget about the whole thing. Several days later, the neighbor's body is found and the murder is traced back to Fido, who is taken away to Zomcon where the public is told he will be destroyed. Timmy learns through Cindy Bottoms (Alexia Fast), daughter of Jonathan Bottoms (Henry Czerny), Zomcon's abusive security chief, that Fido is simply working in a factory at Zomcon. Timmy sets out to rescue him with the help of Mr. Theopolis (Tim Blake Nelson), previous security chief of Zomcon who was forced into early retirement when it was discovered he was found guilty of fraternization with his female zombie, whom he has remarkably preserved well to retard her decaying process, thus giving her a relatively attractive appearance.
Meanwhile, Timmy locates Fido, but is captured by Mr. Bottoms, who attempts to throw Timmy into the zombie-infested "wild zone" that exists outside of the fenced communities. Bill comes to the rescue and is killed by Mr. Bottoms, who in turn is killed by Fido. Timmy is set free and the news media propagandizes that the Zomcom security breach was the fault of rednecks who venture out into the wild zone to hunt zombies for fun. Helen finally learns not to belittle Bill's bad experiences from the Zombie Wars by paying for a headless funeral in order to prevent his zombification. The film ends with Fido as a surrogate father and husband, Timmy, Helen and Helen's newborn baby by Bill as a new family. They, along with a few neighbors happily enjoy their new domestic lives together, including the zombified Jonathan Bottoms who is now more attentive to his daughter.

Shooting took place in Kelowna, British Columbia over 35 days.[4] Director Andrew Currie wanted to make a cross-genre film in order to make the result less predictable. Currie was influenced by Lassie Come Home, The Night of the Hunter, Douglas Sirk films of the 1950s, Peyton Place, and George A. Romero's zombie films. The script was originally written in 1994, but creative differences kept it tied up. Eventually, Currie optioned it through his production company and completed the picture. The film was completely storyboarded prior to filming.[5]
Fido premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was the Opening Canadian Gala film.[1] It was also shown at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, the 2006 Vancouver International Film Festival, the 2007 Kingston Canadian Film Festival, the 2007 Florida Film Festival, and the 2007 Gérardmer Fantasy Filmfest in France. The theatrical release was March 9, 2007.[2]
Box office[edit]
The film grossed $304,533 in the US and a total of $426,224 worldwide.[3] Domestic DVD sales were $2.95 million.[6]
Home media[edit]
The DVD was released on October 23, 2007.[7]
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 71% of 73 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review, and the average rating was 6.5/10; the consensus is: "Making the most of its thin premise, Fido is an occasionally touching satire that provides big laughs and enough blood and guts to please gorehounds."[8] Metacritic rated it 70/100 based on 12 reviews.[9] Allan Walton of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette rated it 5/5 stars and called it "the best zombie spoof ever".[10] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "For a one-joke movie, "Fido" does a fine job exploring every possible permutation of that joke."[11] Dennis Harvey of Variety called it a "frisky yet strangely familiar" film that is amusing but does not fulfill all of its promise.[12] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times awarded it a NYT Critics' Pick and called it a "ticklishly amusing satire" that sacrifices opportunities for satire for comedy.[13] Geoff Pevere of the Toronto Star described it as a "smartly entertaining if slightly oversweet fusion of Douglas Sirkian melodrama (and especially All That Heaven Allows), all-American fifties science fiction, George Romero chompdown and Homeland Security satire" that is "strangely wholesome, gently splattery and adorably gory."[14] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times called it a "crafty" and "deliciously funny" film that shows "there's still a lot of life left in the zombie flick."[15] Scott Weinberg of Fearnet called it "pretty funny, surprisingly smart, pleasant to look at, and often quite sick."[16] Joshua Siebalt of Dread Central rated the film 4.5/5 stars and called it "a damn smart film" that "works on almost every level."[17] Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting wrote that the film may be a difficult sell to hardcore horror fans, but they will enjoy the comedy, gore, and originality.[18] Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York rated the film 2/5 stars and called its satire tiresome and overdone.[19] J. R. Jones of the Chicago Reader called it a "tired spoof" based on a throwaway gag from Shaun of the Dead.[20] Rob Nelson of The Village Voice called it an unfunny zombie parody that pales in comparison to 28 Weeks Later.[21]

Armando Romero
"We live in a world of reproductions, the original no longer exists." In the work of Romero, the reference to classical culture and the great masters is inspired by the citation and appropiation. These elements create a link between the present and the past. Romero deconstructs the codes and desacralizes them in order to put them on a same level of what was then and what is now. In this plastic poetry the words are mixed with objects of everyday life. The artist is an observer, he sorts and organizes an eclectic world that challenges the viewer by presenting a true visual puzzle. His favorite theme is the circus, this fantasy world where humans and animals live together and eventually merge, posters of famous twentieth century American circuses serve as a background for his new works, adding objects attached to the surface, portraits of artists as a reference (Botticelli, Seurat, Goya). With comic anarchism, he compulsively destroys the works with scratches, squiggles and signs of usage time. This serves as a signature. Immersed in the art world from Mexico at an early age by his sculptor father, he develops his artistic training at the School of Art La Esmeralda in Mexico City where Armando Romero studied painting, sculpture and printmaking. A few years later, he dedicated to teach at this same art academy. He has shown repeatedly in the U.S., Europe and Mexico, always emphasizing in his work a nonconformist attitude that characterizes him. |

Thursday is set aside for sophomores to set their schedules and get acquainted with the campus, but anyone who has missed the registration so far still has time to take care of it.
"Friday is the last day officially, but obviously, you can register next week. Come in and use the business office," said assistant principal Pat Ross. "We won't have our system set up exactly like it is now, but if you don't get registered before Friday, then you certainly come in before school starts on (Aug. 5) to register."
Pre-registration for existing students took place last year, but students new to the district will want to get registered within the next week.

Hey, the beginning of the actual football season wasn't enough to generate news. Good thing the Rams cut what would be the first openly gay player to be on a final NFL roster in their last round of roster cuts. Michael Sam led the team in sacks in the preseason, which is nice and will surely be a much-cited stat in the coming days, even if it really doesn't mean all that much as to whether or not he should make the team.
