Product DescriptionThe Pivot Mach 4 is perhaps their most versatile machine. If you consider that you can use it as a full blown cross-country race bike this weekend and roll through hidden backcountry trails with a backpack and an attitude for adventure the next, you'll know what we mean. The key to its utility is the 100mm (4") dw-link rear suspension.The Mach 4 is a super-efficient race machine because it pedals well without inducing strange or wasted motion in the rear suspension. At the same time, it has deceptively plush travel that just makes it a fun bike to ride. Though these characteristics might seem to be mutually exclusive, the dw-link suspension makes it all possible because of its anti-squat characteristics. By virtue of Newton's Third Law of Motion, when something accelerates, its mass is transferred rearward. The dw-link counteracts this transfer to minimize your impact on the rear suspension. This is why Pivot is able to get such a lightly damped tune on the 7.25" x 1.75" Kashima Coated RP23 rear shock from Fox. With the dw-link controlling unwanted suspension squat, the lightly damped shock can respond with ultra-sensitivity to the demands of the trail. As a result, the Mach 4 delivers a comfortable ride and awesome climbing traction. It floats over rocks, roots and ruts, yet it still remains firm while hammering out of the saddle. In short, the Mach 4 adapts to virtually any situation you throw it in.The great rear suspension would be nothing without being hung on a flex-free structure. Pivot builds the Mach 4 frame from hydroformed 6000 series aluminum tubing and 3D hollow aluminum forgings. The production processes for these raw materials both help to align and strengthen the grain structure of the alloy. The result for the Mach 4 is that it's light enough to build a complete bike at 22 pounds or so, yet the front and rear triangles are unyielding to the stresses from the trail. This gives you stability and precision enough to inspire the confidence you need to attack the climbs and bomb the descents.There are a few key details that emphasize the efforts towards optimizing frame stiffness. One of the easiest to see is the BB92 pressfit style bottom bracket. The extra width in the shell does two things -- 1) It allows the frame designers to spread the forged lower seat tube yoke and increase the width of the lower dw-link, increasing stiffness and resistance to torsional flex in the link. All this comes without sacrificing front derailleur functionality. 2) It also provides better support for the bottom bracket bearings. Speaking of sealed cartridge bearings, the forged and CNC machined aluminum lower link contains eight of them -- two at each corner. This increases the durability of this workhorse component, stretches service life, and optimizes suspension function. The upper link is made of carbon fiber for strength and light weight, and since it sees less stress than its lower counterpart, Pivot relies on four bearings here to do t

Strengths: ??? pedals well, considering its weight
Weaknesses: SERIOUS weight issues.
Blows through travel if set to 30% sag as directed.
Bottom Line:
The 2010 Mach 4 frame built with full XTR 2x10 and ultralight components comes in at 26+ lbs!
2012 Fox FIT 120 RLC. Syntace F99 stem and bars, X.0 gripshift, KMC super-light chain, Thomson Elite post, Spec. Ti race saddle, Time XC Carbon pedals, etc... The I-9 / ZTR Arch wheelset aint featherweight, but it's sub 1700 grams, yet the bike STILL comes in at 26+ lbs
Yeah, the 2.0 Geax Saguaro tires are 680gr each, but anything lighter will not survive here for trail use.
Bottom line, a Mach 5.7 can be built up to within a pound of the Mach 4, and have so much more travel!
Speaking of travel, the Mach 4 blows through its travel when set to the 30% it's designed around. I weigh 170lbs. I suppose if you ride fire roads, or trail without rocks...
I'm really disappointed that I spent my money building this bike. Should have just gone with the Mach 5.7.

Strengths: Stiffness, Quality, DW -Link, Components, and overall Fit and Finish.
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
I was initially considering 5-6" bikes, but after extensive self-evaluation of my riding style, talking to many people at the local shops, and heavily researching bikes, I found that having more than 5" of travel is really not necessary for the type of riding I do. Unless you plan on doing 5 foot drops and bombing down the ski resorts, the extra travel will simply not be utilized and it will make climbing more difficult. I wanted a great overall trail bike that can climb great, be fast on trails, and handle the technical descents well.
The Pivot Mach 4 is the answer! Initially, coming from an all-mountain bike, I was a little hesitant on the bikes prowess for downhills, but read many reviews that praised it's descending prowess. I have to say that this bike does it all! First, it climbs better than my Trek 3900 Hardtail. The DW-Link is a fantastic suspension design that allows you to climb, trail ride, and descend without fiddling with the lock-out features of the suspension or fork. There was nothing more annoying on my old bike (Trek EX-5) than constantly locking-out the suspension and trying to figure out when I should open it up again. A bike where you have to lock-out the suspension for climbing is just not practical for everyday trail riding. There are so many trails that have climbs and descends and deciding when to lock-out the suspension interrupts the flow of riding. The Pivot Mach 4 is a set it and forget it bike.
Second, the bike descends MUCH better than my Trek EX-5! It is very stiff on the climbs and holds that stiffness in the descents but absorbs the rough trails beautifully. I am over 200 lbs, and I really try and push the limits going downhill with this bike. It never disappoints. I am much faster and confident on this bike than I was with the EX-5. I have only bottomed out the suspension once when I took a 3 foot drop landing on the front wheel moving at a fast pace.
Third, the fit and finish on this bike is great. It fits me extremely well (I'm 5' 9" and ride the medium frame) and is simply a comfortable bike to ride. The quality of the anodized finish not only looks great, but is durable as well. Pivot makes all of their bikes with great components, even their least expensive one. I have the SRAM X9 2x10 with Avid Elixir brakes and couldn't be happier with it. I am a person that shifts under heavy climbing fairly normally and I have never missed a gear or dropped a chain.
Finally, the quality of the bike is fantastic! When you take the bike for a ride you can immediately feel how solid the bike is. It is the quietest bike that I have ever ridden with virtually no chain slap and the attention to detail is amazing. From the amazing frame design, component match, and ergonomics, to the tapered head, solid bottom bracket, headset, and tires they match it with, this bike is awesome!
Overall, I would highly recommend this bike to anyone looking to buy an amazing trail bike. It handles everything you could throw at it with ease. It has made me a much better rider and I enjoy mountain biking a lot more since I have such a great bike! Also, I purchased this bike directly from Pivot Cycle's demo bike sale and got a great deal. Check their site before paying full price as these bikes can cost up to $6,000 or more retail.

Strengths: Perfect cross-country rig for mountain bikers who like going fast - uphill and down. Even better, you don't see many on the trails, and you're not lining Specialized & Trek's coffers any more. Metal, hopefully more durable than carbon.
Weaknesses: Despite the hype, you won't beat hardtail 29'ers on the climbs, all things being equal. Suspension action is one of the best - but still has a flaw. Heavier than much of the competition.

Strengths: I built this up recently from the build kit on my '09 Giant Anthem.
I got a good deal on the frame, but was a little sceptical about any performance improvement over the Anthem. I needn't have worried. While the frame is a little heavier than the Anthem (my Mach 4 is the earlier model frame) there is a huge difference in the rear triangle stiffness, something that is a Maestro weakness IMO. To illustrate the point, with the rear wheel out you can squeeze the chain stays together quite a long way between your thumb and fingers on the Anthem but very little on the Pivot.
The Mach 4 steers way sharper but also manages to be much more confident on downhills. I suspect the former is due to the frame stiffness and the latter to the fact that it carries its weight more rearward than the Anthem, effectively slackening the head angle.
Riding the Mach 4 is compelling. I have three other bikes in my quiver (Giant Anthem X29-1, Haro Mary XC and GT Force 1) all of which have their strengths but the Pivot is now the firm favourite. I believe it flatters my riding ability and I can certainly use that!
I have installed a dropper seatpost which may seem a little odd on a short travel bike but this also helps in tight sections and downhills.
All up, a very happy customer.
Weaknesses: A little heavy but this is well outweighed by its performance.

Strengths: Fast, smooth, efficient, comfortable, durable.
Weaknesses: None.
Bottom Line:
Mine weighs in at 26.5 lbs at the trailhead with pedals and computer. It can be built up really light but I have not felt the need to spend any extra cash. You won't notice it on the trail. I don't notice the extra 2.5 lbs over the Stumpjumper at all, and average maybe 2 mph faster on the Pivot. The frame on current models will be 10 oz. lighter than mine anyway. Rotating weight is the most important, so the lighter wheel option might be a good idea, but the 340s have the reputation of being bulletproof, and so far that has been the case.
The Pivot people are really nice and very helpful on the phone. Frank's build of this thing was just perfect as well. I had zero complaints.
If riding mountain bikes is your thing and you can hack the sticker price, I recommend it for anybody. Try it, you'll like it. It's everything I ever wanted.

Date Reviewed: January 19, 2012
Strengths: DW-link; Fox Float RLC fork; frame / rear triangle stiffness; XX group; DT Swiss wheelset;
The greatest strength for this bike is it's versatility. It's light enough to race, but quite capable as an all day trail machine. There is very little, if any flex, I can detect and, while this is a 4 inch bike, it truly does feel like it has more travel than this. I find myself riding the Mach 4 in cases where I was riding my Blur LTc. The Blur, by comparison, has 6 inches of travel. The pedaling efficiency on this bike is the best of any bike I've ridden short of a hardtail single speed. That said, it the trail gets rough, the Mach 4 has the advantage there as well.
Weaknesses: I don't really see any major weaknesses. The blue anodized frame is harder to clean than a painted or powder coated frame. I've also found that it will scratch and chip. My heels occasionally come in contact with the rear triangle and that has scuffed and scratched the coating. However, this is more a weakness related to anodized frames in general and not unique to Pivot in my opinion.
Bottom Line:
With a change in saddle and tires, the bike will easily come in at 23.5 lbs and you could build up this bike under 23 if you went with the Rockshox XX fork and changed the wheelset but that would add $$$ and I don't see it as necessary. This bike absolutely flies on singletrack and you will find yourself grinning ear to ear and riding sections much faster than you thought possible.

Strengths: Climbing ability, handling, nimbleness, fit
Weaknesses: It will reveal your shortcomings. If you suck on this bike, it's you.
Bottom Line:
I don't use pro-pedal much on this bike. I feel some extra speed with it turned on over smooth trails, but it slows me down in the bumpy stuff.
I switched to this bike from a 6" travel AM rig because I started to think it was only a matter of time before I killed myself bombing rocky downhills at 30mph. The Mach 4 handles descents really well, but you certainly can't just point it straight downhill and let go of the brakes. If it's rocky, you have to have more brains than balls.
I like this bike. A lot. I'm not taking away a chili for value like some others have. The price is right in line with everything else out there.

Strengths: Light weight frame: 5.25 lbs in size small. Stiffness. Excellent suspension design: DW-Link with Fox RP23, no pedal bob/efficient pedaler, active suspension with right amount of plush. Fast. Climbs well with good traction. Good handling on descents. A+ Welds (the stack of coins look). Paint scheme of the white/black frame is nice.
Weaknesses: None that I can find but If Pivot comes up with a Carbon version of the Mach 4, I might find some weakness in my aluminum 2011 Pivot Mach 4.
The frame purchased itself (without build kit) comes with a Shimano XTR BB92 bottom bracket, it would be better if Pivot allowed customers the option of either Shimano XTR or Sram BB92 to come with the frame. I use a Truvativ Crankset, so I had to purchase the Sram bottom bracket separately. I guess I'll keep the Shimano XTR BB just in case I ever use a Shimano Crankset.
Bottom Line:
Pivot Customer Service is excellent - everything from the Demo Rides, Emails, Phone Calls, etc.

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Senior forward Will Felder and sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight scored 12 points apiece, but it was not enough as the Miami University men's basketball team (9-14; 5-7 Mid-American Conference) suffered a 68-57 loss at Western Michigan University (16-8; 9-3 MAC) on Saturday afternoon.
The RedHawks built an early 7-1 lead by the 13:53 mark with a pair of buckets from Felder and a triple by freshman guard Jaryd Eustace. The Broncos came back to even the game with a 6-0 surge, but Miami recaptured a 9-7 lead off a Felder bucket at 11:04.
After a sophomore guard Willie Moore field goal at 9:42 to give Miami an 11-9 lead, the Broncos staged a 9-0 flurry to capture an 18-11 advantage. The RedHawks closed within four, but the Broncos pushed their lead to 10 points off a Connar Tava field goal with 1:33 to go in the opening half, 26-16. Junior guard Will Sullivan knocked down a 3-pointer and McKnight tossed in a jumper in the lane to put the RedHawks within five with 20 seconds to play, but Miami sent WMU's David Brown to the line and he hit one of two attempts to give the Broncos a 29-23 edge going into the half.
Eustace opened the second-half scoring with a 3-pointer at the 18:46 mark to put the RedHawks within three, 29-26. The Broncos pushed their lead to seven twice, the latter at 39-32, but Miami chiseled away and took a 43-42 lead on a Sullivan 3-pointer at 8:47. WMU responded with six straight points before McKnight knocked down a jumper at 5:52 to put the RedHawks within three, 48-45, but that was as close as Miami got.
Four Broncos scored in double figures with Austin Richie leading all scorers with 20 points. Shayne Wittington followed with 18 points and a game-best 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.

A German kiteboarding brand, Spleene offers high quality boards and kites. Their High Tech Line is driven by the will to be ahead, to form perfection with inspiration, creativity and courage. The 2012 High Tech Line boards are all-around twin tips.
With the High Tech Line RIP, Spleene has created a masterpiece, a well balanced board with comfort and performance. Maximum speed and smoothness should make the RIP your first choice. The High Tech Session specializes in low wind conditions and is a power machine. The High Tech Door has the comfort of a RIP and the range of a Session.
For high perfomance free style riders, Spleene offers the RS Rip in magenta, violet and blue. The RS was designed for radical freestyle and offers a stiffer flex setting and slightly wider tips, ensuring advanced and professional riders can transfer the power into more dynamic moves that ever before. The Fun Tech Line Door is an affordable door that's just perfect for freeride boarders. With full suspension tips and a very soft dynamic flex control, rides are smoother and much more comfortable.
The Spleene RIP Kiteboard represents a clear idea of how a Kiteboard needs to be shaped. We benefit from more than 30 years of shaping experience when we develope our product. This is especially noticable on the Spleene RIP Kiteboard, were always motivated to improve the standards for this board. No one tells us what's good and what's not. No matter if it's easy planing, upwind performance, pop for jumps or smoothness or riding, only the sum of all these features will result in the perfect kiteboard for you. The new Spleene High Tech Line RIPs provide clear proof that you don't need to waive anything to have a perfect kite day.
The Design Features:
The Spleene Door High Teck Lightwind Kiteboards shape detail is a double concave channel at the bottom of the boards. This allows for cleaner and earlier planing. When compared to a conventional double concave this underwater hull has got a parabolic cross section, specially designed by Spleene to provide significantly more grip due to the longitudinal guide of the sideways channel rails, even in choppy water. A development you can expect from Spleene. Only consistent development turns this concept into a Spleene High Tech Door. Compared to the previous models the new Door is now equipped with the Advanced Jet Bottom.
The Spleene Door Kiteboard stands for a unit of design and technology, which can only be provided by the original Door. As the inventor of the Door we have got this unique head start, which can be noticed immediately, in any condition, by any kiteboarder. The 2013 Spleene Door Kiteboards sporty overall impression coupled with a high level of comfort result in this special riding experience. Upwind and low-end abilities have set standards in kiteboarding within the last 10 years. Its concave outline, large surface and flat rocker line are responsible for this performance. However, these features alone are not sufficient by far to create a kiteboard that meets your and our demands.
The Design Features:
The specially shaped top side of the Spleen Zone Waveboard shifts the standing position substantially lower than in conventional waveboards and thereby improves the control of the board significantly. The unique shape of the "Zone" boards allows you to shape the scoop-rocker-line by shifting your body. The rails with large radius and Tucked under Edge Shape in the center of the board prevent miscut at radically surfed turns. The new zones are produced in solid Snow-Board-Construction and therefore almost indestructible. Test the new Spleene Zones and enjoy the incomparable Ride.

How do you define a radical kiteboard? By combining apparent contradictions. More performance with more control. More stability with less weight. As a result Spleene rs-boards always provide the maximum output. This applies not only to the board. Also you as a rider will show a significantly improved performance. However, the rs is not only about performance. It's also about how easy it can be called up and controlled. The result will convince you.

Republicans, four incumbents and a new, but familiar, member will make up the next Onslow County Board of Commissioners.
"I'm humbled about this," top vote getter Jack Bright said. "I am gratified to see so many people come out in the rain and vote."
Bright — who was previously elected to the board in 2000 and appointed for a short period in 2008 — said he was looking forward to getting to work for Onslow County residents.
Bright received 29,034 votes or 14.97 percent. He was followed, in descending order, by Paul Buchanan, who received 27,936 votes or 14.41 percent; Barbara Ikner with 27,941 votes or 14.41 percent; W.C. Jarman with 27,239 votes or 14.05 percent; and Lionell Midgett with 26,849 votes or 13.85 percent, all incumbent Republicans. Democrats Tommie Thomas followed with 19,802 votes or 10.21 percent; Hattie Angel with 18,564 votes or 9.57 percent; and Clarence Judd with 16,545 votes or 8.53 percent. A total of 193,910 votes were cast in the race. Tallies are unofficial until the Nov. 16 canvass.
Thomas, a Jacksonville police officer, came closest of the three Democratic challengers to landing a seat on the all-Republican board.
"I couldn't beat Mitt Romney," Thomas said. "When you have a Republican candidate not show up to any debates and barely campaign and still win then it's not about the candidates it's about the parties."
Thomas was referring to Jarman, the current chairman of the board, who did not attend two candidate forums last month.
Thomas said he wasn't finished with politics and may consider giving county commissioner another go in four years.
"I'm going to let it sink in," he said. "Who knows, I may be a Republican next time. Being a conservative Democrat doesn't seem to work in Onslow County."
Jarman said feels Onslow County is on the right track and needs to keep going in the same direction.
"I'd continue to keep going the way we're going," he said. "Keep trying to move the county forward. That's the biggest thing. Get our education on track."
Buchanan, a police instructor from Swansboro, said the voters showed they wanted experienced commissioners.
"The voters have spoken," he said.
Midgett, a retired banker from Verona, said he felt positive about the results.
"I would like to see the buildings we have planned to be completed," he said. "I would like to see us control expenses so the tax rate can be as low as possible and I would like to see us keep moving the county forward."
All the candidates agreed during the race that improving the economy and adding more jobs to the local workforce was of utmost importance. The only real campaign issue was the current board's decision to move county offices out of downtown into a to-be-built $22 million government center in Burton Park, an industrial area on Richlands Highway more than three miles from Jacksonville.
Incumbent candidates said the government center, once built, will provide an incentive for businesses to move into the park without hurting downtown Jacksonville. Challengers said a move would hamper attempts at downtown revitalization.
Thomas and Judd said the offices shouldn't be moved with Judd saying he would even consider legal action to halt the process. Angel said she didn't like the move, but would support it since the die had already been cast.
Bright said he will ask the new board to reevaluate which offices should be moved out of downtown, especially the tax office. Bright said residents and lawyers who have business with the register of deeds office, which is remaining downtown, often have corresponding business with the tax office.
Jarman, Buchanan, Ikner and Midgett voted along with Bill Keller for the move in July. Keller lost in the May GOP primary and was not reappointed by his fellow commissioners to the Onslow County Health Board last month.
Bright said he expects to be able to work together with the new board.
"I can work with anyone," Bright said. "I spent a long time as a police officer listening to both sides of an issue and helping people come together."
Ikner, from Sneads Ferry and serving her second term, said she was pleased with the results.
"I believe it is as I thought it would be," she said. "I just pray that our county and our country will unite and move forward.
"We have a lot of work to do in Onslow County, I believe we are on a good path and we need to keep it going."

Chris -- 2011-03-08
The verb "dock," meaning to lop off/curtail/withhold, has deep Teutonic roots. Chaucer and Wycliffe both employed it. The word has seen a steady decline, however, . Where it still occurs, it seems to restrict itself to actions taken on (1) animal tails or (2) earned wages. One suspects that if there were not two objects on which it acted, the verb "dock" might already have slipped into the oblivion of idiomatic opacity.
"Dock" is already near enough to semantic darkness to generate spontaneous substitutions. A popular one is "doc." On thousands of web pages we hear about "doc the pay" and "doc the tail." This is probably just a misspelling, especially since "doc," the nickname for "doctor," is a noun, not a verb – though one could imagine the speaker thinking about verbalized surgeons doing some serious trimming of their patient's limbs and lucre.
A less common substitution, but a more believable eggcorn, is the replacement of "dock" by "duck." "To duck" is to bend/immerse/escape. The employer who docks an employee's pay ducks his/her contracted responsibility.
Examples of "duck" for "dock."
: "Picard better kick Data's ass and duck his pay when this is over!"
: "dude my boss busted me smokin a jay and fukin ducked my pay for the week "
: "That is, if you want to duck my pay by 100 euros, you pay me 100 euros a month in shares of the company. "
: "If their till doesn't balance and it gets ducked out of their pay then they better get better at their jobs because one day the supermarket's management will change and they'll stop being so lenient with them."
: "Julian replies that he does not like to come to this side of the track but he was thinking about Pilar and how they would have to duck her pay on the days that she will not come to work but go to see her son in prison."
Trivia challenge: Is
Duck duck duck duck duck.
(a) a children's game or
(b) a legitimate English sentence?
I think the children's game, from before my time, was Duck duck goose, so I'm going to go for (b). Is it something legitimate used without punctuation in the trenches?
A comma, perhaps.
How about "Avoid duck-on-duck immersion"? (Verb1-noun1-verb2-noun1-noun2).
Or is it a gentle reminder, by example: Get your ducks in a row.

Duck duck duck duck duck.
Probably many ways to map this onto a grammatical sentence. Here's one:
Duck – the lesser-used plural of the swimming/diving/dabbling bird ("Several duck are in the pond").
duck – plural verb meaning to avoid ("The kids duck their chores whenever they can")
duck – familiar name for an odd character ("Where's the old duck when you need him.") turned into a nominal adjective
duck – noun referring to an immersion ("The wily fellow avoided the attempted duck")
duck. – like "ducky," a slang term used to express affection ("Wassup, duck")
Thus: "The swimming birds avoided the immersion of the chap, matey."

1. "Deconstructing Your Family Tree: Re-evaluating the Evidence." When information passed on from researcher to researcher doesn't "add up," it's time to tear down the walls and rebuild anew. This methodology lecture shows how erroneous conclusions can sneak into our research uncontested. This lecture is pertinent especially today with so many Internet family trees that get cut and pasted into our own research.
2. "More than the Census: Our Families Did Exist Between Those 10-Year Intervals." This lecture will show the researcher that it is important to identify our ancestors' whereabouts in as many local records as possible. A lot can happen in ten years! If you don't look harder, you won't find them.
3. "Incorporating Social History Into Your Research." Family history should be more than names and dates. What motivated our ancestors? Why did they migrate? Who did they interact with? How do social customs of another era affect our research? Social history and its bearing on genealogical research will be covered and a "must-read" bibliography for serious researchers will be discussed.
4. "She Came From Nowhere" – A Case Study Approach to a Difficult Genealogy Problem. This lecture illustrates the joys and pitfalls of Virginia research as well as employing a problem-solving approach utilizing social history, female research, and family analysis to identify the parents of Elizabeth Stith, the ancestor "from nowhere."

Our Speaker
Dr. Michael D. Lacopo was born and raised in northern Indiana surrounded by extended family always willing to tell tall tales. Intrigued by his maternal family's claim to be kinfolk of Abraham Lincoln, and his paternal family's stories of murder and mayhem, he took to genealogical research in the 1980s to substantiate these family stories.
Genealogical research as a hobby was in its infancy in the 1980s. Combing libraries, archives, cemeteries, and courthouses as a teenager, Michael gained the skills needed to become a keen researcher. His first major challenge in the world of research was tackled by finding his adopted mother's birthparents in 1982. You can read about this adventure at his blog (http://www.Roots4U.blogspot.com) with some engaging storytelling, plot twists, and new findings!
Although a budding genealogist in the 1980s, Michael completed his doctorate in veterinary medicine in 1991 while still spending time honing his research skills. As befitting a doctor, Michael treats his genealogical research as he would medicine—carefully, methodically, and completely. Several genealogical journal articles and publications appeared along the way. In 2013, Michael retired from his medical career to pursue genealogical research full time as a profession.
Michael has contributed to numerous periodicals and has helped numerous people in their quests to locate their relatives—living and dead. He appeared in USA Today in 2000 discussing genealogy and the proposed destruction of the federal census tabulated in that year. His national lecturing began in Sacramento, California, at the National Genealogical Society's national conference in 2004, and has continued with several local, state, national, and international conference speaking engagements to this present day.
Michael's interests and strengths include Mennonite research, German and Swiss research, especially as it pertains to the 18th century immigration to America, among many other topics. He makes many trips throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states chasing ancestors in primary repositories, and also devotes a considerable amount of time to European research, being proficient in reading German script. Having ancestors from many geographic locales as well as immigrants spanning the 17th century to the 20th century, Michael has a wide variety of proficiencies. He believes that as genealogists we should tell the tales of our ancestors and is a vocal proponent for learning the social history that interweaves our ancestors into the fabric of the past.
In addition to his storytelling and educational blog, Michael's presence can be found online at http://www.Roots4U.com, or for more up-to-date lecture and research information, at his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Roots4U.

As you'll read in this edition of NIF News, it was a challenging couple of weeks for the NIF family – and the issues we care so passionately about – in Jerusalem.
First, the Minister of Transportation once again decided to postpone his decision on whether or not to order the desegregation of city buses in which women are forced to go to the back of the bus. NIF and Kolech, our lead-grantee on the issue, turned up the heat by taking out transit ads on buses in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods alerting women to the existence of a hotline for anonymously reporting instances of abuse and discrimination.
Next, in two separate incidents, police in Jerusalem detained leaders of major NIF-supported organizations.
On January 5th Anat Hoffman, leader of the Israel Religious Action Center, was interrogated and threatened with felony charges. Her crime? Leading a group of women wearing tallit in prayer at the Kotel (Western Wall).
This past Friday, Hagai El-Ad, Executive Director of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), was arrested at a weekly demonstration in East Jerusalem against Israeli expropriation of Palestinian property in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood for use by religio-nationalist Jewish settlers. ACRI didn't organize this peaceful vigil, but it has previously sent observers to make sure that the rights of the protesters are upheld. That was what Hagai was doing when he and sixteen others were arrested and held in the jail in the Russian Compound for thirty-six hours. When the case finally went before a judge, it was thrown out. The judge, finding no merit in the police's allegations, dismissed all charges and ordered them released immediately.
So what is going on in Jerusalem?
There appears to be great and growing sensitivity, on the part of the authorities, around protests that challenge the increasing power of Israel's "religious right" in Jerusalem. The NIF family of organizations is not only leading the charge to secure an Israel of equality and justice for all of its people; we are also actively responding to this latest round of intimidation, pooling resources and coordinating to make sure that the voices of those who remind us of the rights of women, Palestinians and free speech are not silenced.
To do this, NIF – and Jerusalem – need you to make your voice heard.
Here's what you can do to help:
Click here to send an email to Transportation Minister Katz, telling him that women will not go to the back of the bus. Already, hundreds of people have contacted the Minister. Please join their numbers today!
This newspaper story chronicles Hagai's arrest, and ran in several American papers. Write a letter to the editor and make clear our belief that Israel must stand for freedom of speech and conscience.
And if all of this leaves you longing for a way to talk about Israel, human rights, peace and democracy, and to connect with others who care about and support Israel -- and the progressive, democratic and Jewish values upon which it was founded -- the way that you do, please join us in person or online for our upcoming Town Hall & Webcast.

DEKALB, Ill. - Senior guard Courtney Osborn exploded for 25 points as the Miami University women's basketball team earned an important 65-51 victory over Northern Illinois on Sunday afternoon. The RedHawks improve to 14-7 overall and 6-2 in the Mid-American Conference. The Huskies fall to 5-16 overall and 0-8 in the MAC.
Osborn was 9-for-16 from the field and hit two three-point baskets. She was 5-for-7 from the free throw line. The five free throws gave her 464 for her career and tied the Miami record held by Amanda Jackson (2003-08).
Kirsten Olowinski also came up big for the 'Hawks with her 38th career double-double. She finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Osborn and Erica Almady each hit baskets early, but Northern Illinois would build an 11-6 advantage seven minutes into the game. A jumper from Olowinski would get the RedHawk offense going on a 7-0 run, with a Maddie McCallie three-pointer putting Miami in front, 13-11, with 9:36 remaining in the half.
Tied at 15, another 7-0 run from the Red and White would put it back in control. Osborn hit five free throws during the stretch, including the free throw that tied the record with Jackson. She also hit a three-point basket and a layup with nine seconds to go to send Miami into the break with a 27-18 lead.
Osborn led Miami with 15 points in the first half. The 'Hawks shot 40.0 percent (10-for-25) during the period, while holding NIU to 30.8 percent (8-for-26) shooting.
A Hannah Robertson three-point play got the RedHawk offense going early in the second half. Osborn would bury a pair of jumpers to extend the advantage to 11 at 37-26. A Kelsey Simon layup would make it a 13-point lead with 13:07 to go.
The Huskies did not go away as they would eventually cut the advantage to six at 48-42 with 7:34 remaining in the game. Miami answered with a 6-0 run, as Almady, Haley Robertson and Osborn each made mid-range jumpers to send the lead back into double-digits. The lead would not fall below 10 again as the RedHawks hit their free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
After hitting 58 percent (15-for-26) of its shots during the second half, Miami finished the game shooting 49 percent (25-for-51). Haley and Hannah Robertson had nine points each, while Almady finished with eight. NIU was led by Jenna Thorp with 16 points.
The RedHawks play five of their next six games at Millett Hall. It starts on Wednesday when Miami hosts current MAC regular season leader Toledo at 7 p.m. Tim Bray has the call and it can be seen live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

RALEIGH — The first week of February brought Wayne County mother Jennifer Strickland an eye-popping surprise. A letter from the principal indicated that one of her twin boys — a stellar, straight-A student reading at an almost sixth-grade level — was in danger of being retained in third grade.
A series of new reading minitests were tripping up him — and others. His school, anticipating high rates of failure on end-of-grade reading tests, sent retention letters home as a pre-emptive strike. Parents, says Strickland, are "terrified of what's coming" on end-of-grade tests later this year; some are working extra jobs to fund private tutors.
What in the world is going on?
Many are pointing the finger at North Carolina's new Read to Achieve program. Implemented this year as part of a 2012 state law, Read to Achieve requires that third-graders demonstrate grade-level reading proficiency before promotion to fourth grade.
Reading ability is assessed through end-of-grade tests, a state Read to Achieve exam, or portfolios encompassing the 36 minitests Strickland's son had begun taking. Students who fail to read proficiently must attend summer reading camps; if interventions are unsuccessful, students are retained.
The law's good intentions are grounded in empirical evidence. Longitudinal research from Donald Hernandez at the City University of New York found that children who are not competent readers by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school than children who read well. Other research affirms that third-grade reading skills (or lack thereof) place students on an achievement trajectory that is difficult to alter.
So, what's the problem?
Read to Achieve's implementation has been an unmitigated debacle. On minitest reading passages, "the readability is way beyond third grade," says Mark Edwards, superintendent of the Mooresville Graded School District. Edwards says requirements essentially had "students testing every single week throughout the remainder of the year in what I call a high-stakes, extremely stressful environment for teachers and students." Superintendents in conversations with teachers, principals, and parents "were getting wave after wave of concern," notes Edwards.
Online opposition to Read to Achieve has been fast and furious, spawning at least two Facebook pages since January; one accumulated 2,200-plus "likes" in two weeks. Parents are chronicling tears, tension, and tummy aches. A Change.org petition demanding an end to Read to Achieve has garnered almost 500 signatures.
Some relief is on the way. The State Board of Education, responding to petitions from 30 school districts, voted in February to allow school systems to use alternative reading assessments to determine proficiency. Tests must be reliable, valid, and approved by local school boards.
Such a move will stanch the stampede to summer reading camp. But 8- and 9-year-olds still must slog through developmentally inappropriate, hastily adopted Common Core standards and an end-of-grade reading test — newly revamped in 2012-13 to align with Common Core — that a majority of last year's third-graders failed.
A change in test achievement levels may come soon, but it won't remedy underlying flaws in the standards and tests. Something is wrong here, and it isn't just with Read to Achieve.
Our prevailing paradigm — implement now, think later — is an exercise in folly. Feckless, heedless decision-making requires constant fixes and begets confusion for parents. Jennifer Strickland is channeling her frustration into a run for school board, saying of school officials' approach to testing, "They [change] the rules every week. … We can't keep up."
Frankly, neither can anyone else. We ought to take a careful, hard look at our state's ever-shifting testing program. Accountability is necessary and useful, but only when it actually means something.
Right now, it's anyone's guess what that is.

Fancy Dresses
And the Oscar for best dressed because she wore one of Jovani's fancy prom dresses goes to – YOU. You will definitely look like a winner in a Jovani dress. We bet you will feel like one to.
Time to Play Dress Up For Real!
You've imagined this day for a while, now it's finally coming true. Which one of your imaginary prom dresses are you going to bring to life? Jovani is excited to be a part of one of the biggest days in a young woman's life.
If you've always imagined wearing something elegant, yet daring, then perhaps our nude, one-sleeve sexy mermaid gown featuring a sheer panel at the bodice is the dress for you. If you always imagined looking like one of the actresses during Oscar night, then our long sensual gowns with corset, intricate beading, and tulle skirt is your dream outfit. You can check our evening dresses collection.
Our selections are never ending; you can be playing dress up in your head for hours, or even days! Trim your choices down to your top 5, then get the opinions of friends and family. Do not worry if you disagree with their preferences, it just means you've had your ideal dress picked out for yourself along! Go get it!
Fancy Dresses
Having trouble deciding what to wear to prom? Don't fret; Jovani has you covered with all of the most beautiful and fancy gowns to make you feel gorgeous and confident. Narrow down your options by selecting a few looks or details that you love above the rest. If you love sequins, make it a point to find only dresses that incorporate sequins in one way or another. Other details you may favor could be a prom dress that is lacey, tight-fitting, one with floral appliqué, tulle underlay or something plain black. No matter what style you love, just pick a dress that you feel confident in.
Jovani's fancy gowns that incorporate studs, beadwork and rhinestones are perfect pieces to wear to prom. Reality star Kim Kardashian and famous country singer Carrie Underwood have both worn beautiful beaded gowns by Jovani. If you want to resemble their looks, search through Jovani's Prom collection for similar or exact same beaded gown. With Jovani, you can actually dress like the stars and wear a celebrity fancy prom dress. Because all bodies are built differently and people's coloring differ, if you are a brunette a dress that Taylor Swift wore may not be the best choice for you. Certain colors that flatter a blonde's look may not be best for a brunette. Choose colors in a dress that make your hair, skin color, and eye color pop, even if it isn't the exact dress you initially liked.
No matter what prom dress you chose, make sure it looks good and flatters your body. Sometimes if you are set on a certain look, for example a dress with lace overlay or sheer lace on the shoulders, but the gown is not the most flattering for your body it can be acceptable. If you have no preference as to what details you want on your prom dress than simply pick the gown that looks the best on your body. Finding a gown that flatters every part of your body and you feel confident in will be your best choice! If you have a large bust, choose a gown with supportive straps and an empire waist to help emphasize how small your upper waist is. If you have a larger bottom and love your legs choose a mini homecoming ball gown with a tight corset top and an A-line skirt with tulle underlay.Have fun shopping for your prom dress rather than making the decision hard. A beautiful and fancy dress that is perfect for prom is just waiting for you in the Jovani collection!

Powerful board for real-time and high-accuracy signal generation
- Essential for hardware-in-the-loop simulation
- Flexible sensor signal simulation with up to 6 channels
- Fast analog output on up to six 16-bit DACs
- APU (angular processing unit) slave interface for each channel
Application Areas
To test an electronic control unit (ECU) to its limits, even interferences such as noise or spikes often need to be simulated. For example, in automotive hardware-in-the-loop applications, signals such as crankshaft or camshaft pulses have to be generated as angle-based for the greatest accuracy. Signal variables, such as engine speed, must be modified in real time. The Fast Analog Capturing Module is used to capture injection control voltage and calculate the injection quantity for piezo actuators of SI engines.
Key Benefits
The DS2302 enables you to simulate complex sensor signal waveforms for testing ECUs. It meets tough requirements regarding complexity, flexibility and resolution. The DS2302 is equipped with six DSPs and designed for fast, flexible waveform generation. It computes each signal sample just-in-time and outputs it immediately. The signal parameters can easily be changed on-the-fly by a master processor board. The DS2302 C functions allow you to exchange data between your main application and an application running on one of the six DSPs. Communication runs via the dual-ported memories of the DS2302.
