Your Diabetes Menu Plan
How do you get all the nutrition you need in a day while still being mindful of calories and carbs? The secret is to plan ahead.
Meal planning depends on lots of things, like your taste preferences, medications, and activity level, says Jill Weisenberger, RDN, CDE, author of Diabetes Weight Loss -- Week by Week.

Diabetes Complications: What's Your Risk?
Heart attack, stroke, blindness, amputation, kidney failure. When doctors describe these diabetes complications, it may sound melodramatic -- like an overblown worst-case scenario. The truth is, these things can happen when blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol are out of control. "A lot of people don't really think it will happen to them," says David C. Ziemer, MD, director of the Diabetes Clinic at Grady Hospital in Atlanta. "For a lot of folks, the wake-up comes when they actually...
Read the Diabetes Complications: What's Your Risk? article > >
But good general advice to follow is to keep your carbs consistent -- eat the same amount at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to keep blood sugar from spiking or dipping too low. Weisenberger recommends 45 grams as a target for the three main meals of the day. "If you go lower than 30 grams at a meal, it's going to be really hard to get all the nutrients you need, such as fiber and phytochemicals," the health-boosting nutrients in fruits and vegetables.
This sample meal plan provides 1,400 calories. Supplement with healthy snacks to reach your personal calorie goals.
If you're rushed in the mornings, make breakfast a snap with mix-and-match prepared items such as hardboiled eggs, nuts or seeds, a part-skim cheese stick, peanut butter, or yogurt for protein; toast, crispbread, or unsweetened instant oatmeal for whole grains; plus any kind of fruit -- dried fruit, a banana, an apple.
Avocado Toast and Egg
Café au lait made with a half cup 1% milk
Medium orange
Avocado Toast and Egg
This has to be one of the most satisfying, easy breakfasts around, thanks to a helping of fiber from the avocado and whole-grain bread. For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning or smoked paprika.
Makes 1 serving.
1 slice 100% whole grain bread
1/5 avocado
1 egg
salt and pepper
1. Toast bread. Scoop out avocado and mash onto toast. Top with a poached or soft-boiled egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Getting out of the two-slices-of-bread sandwich rut can be an easy way to control carbs. Stick to a small whole wheat pita or enjoy some rye crispbreads alongside a protein- and veggie-loaded salad or soup for a satisfying midday meal.

BCS National Championship Game Matchup: Florida State Seminoles vs. Auburn Tigers
Date/Time: January 6th, 8:30 ET
Television: ESPN
BCS National Championship Game Odds from WagerWeb
Point Spread: Florida State -8.5
Total: 67.5
After 34 bowl games are complete, there will be just one left, and it's for all the marbles. In historic Pasadena, the Florida State Seminoles and the Auburn Tigers will go to war with one another on January 6th with the winner being named the BCS National Champions.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Seminoles are living up to their moniker this year. They have been "Unconquered," and for the most part, they have yet to be challenged either. FSU's only relatively close game was against the Boston College Eagles, and that not only came back in the early part of the conference season, but it also was only a 14-point game. The team has hung at least 37 points on everyone it has faced this year, including going on the road and beating the then-No. 3 Clemson Tigers 51-14. QB Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the third player in FSU history to claim the honor and the youngest to ever win the award. He had the best year a quarterback has ever had at Florida State, throwing for 3,820 yards and 38 TDs to go with another 193 yards and four scores on the ground. More impressive though, might be a defense which just lost three superstars to the NFL last season. These Noles have allowed just five rushing TDs all season long, none of which came in the first half of any game.
Auburn though, has good fortune for sure on its side. The team won games against the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs which probably should have been lost, but the end result saw the team go 12-1, win the SEC, and make it here to Pasadena on the back of the Ohio State Buckeyes losing to the Michigan State Spartans on the final day of the regular season in the Big Ten Championship Game. The rushing numbers for the Tigers are staggering. They rolled up over 500 yards on the ground in the SEC Championship Game against the Missouri Tigers, and they ran for nearly 300 yards on the Crimson Tide as well. QB Nick Marshall had 1,023 yards and 11 TDs this year, while RB Tre Mason had 22 TDs and 1,621 yards. Four men rushed for at least 600 yards this year, and all of them averaged at least 5.7 yards per carry. Defensively, there were some issues for sure, knowing that teams averaged 259.3 yards per game against the Tigers this year through the air and 423.5 yards per game in total.
The Noles haven't lost a bowl game yet under Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, and they are 5-0 SU and ATS in their last five bowl games. They're also a perfect 9-0 ATS in their last nine bowls overall. Auburn too, has had great success in bowl games, going 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in its last five trips to bowl games, including beating the Oregon Ducks in the BCS National Championship Game in 2011. FSU has a pair of national titles to its credit from 1993 and 1998, and it would love to add 2013 to its resume in the first title game in the post-Bobby Bowden era.

In order to reduce duplicative IRB reviews, UT Houston has signed the UT System IRB Agreement that allows researchers in UT Houston to seek approval from any IRB within the UT System. You should investigate the possibility of using this agreement any time you are conducting research with any sister UT institution, either as a consultant or as a full satellite site.
If you wish to rely on the IRB from another UT Institution:
If a PI from another UT institution (also called Site PI for the purpose of this policy) wishes to rely on UT Houston CPHS
Links to SOPs related to reciprocity below:
Access forms : Addition of Site Form, Permission to Rely Form
As of February 2012, researchers may choose to obtain IRB review and approval for industry sponsored, multi-site clinical trials from Chesapeake IRB. Researchers may choose to continue to apply to UT Houston CPHS for review and approval. Researchers must obtain written CPHS permission before applying for Chesapeake IRB review and approval. Written permission must be sought via an iRIS application.
Process to Obtain Permission from CPHS:
a. Create a new study in the iRIS application. In the panel on Reciprocity Agreement, choose the option
"Chesapeake IRB Review".
b. Upload sponsor protocol and sponsor consent document.
c. If the clinical trial will be conducted at a Memorial Hermann site, complete
the Memorial Hermann Application Form.
d. If the application is being prepared by anyone other than the Principal Investigator, route to the Principal Investigator
for signature.
e. Route to the Department Representative for signature.
f. Await written permission from CPHS office.
Applying for Chesapeake IRB Review and Approval
a. In order to be able to submit research applications to Chesapeake IRB the user
must first register in their electronic system, CIRBI.
b. Any member of the study team may create and submit the application. We
encourage research teams to ensure that the Principal Investigator has reviewed
the application before submitting.
c. If the study will be conducted at a MHH site, please include Cassandra Varacalli
as a study contact on the CIRBI application.
d. Chesapeake IRB will issue a written approval letter via their electronic system.
e. Chesapeake IRB will be responsible for continuing review, change requests and
problem reporting.
Research teams seeking approval from Chesapeake IRB must familiarize themselves
with Chesapeake Investigator Handbook for reporting requirements and other
Research Conflicts of Interest (RCOI) - In order to make sure all research personnel on the study have completed the appropriate research conflict of interest form, all key study personnel should be added to the original CPHS submission so that it can be routed for electronic signature and RCOI sign-off. If key study personnel are added at a later date, the site is required to submit a personnel change request through CPHS as well as Chesapeake to insure RCOI is completed.
Consent documents and HIPAA Authorization – Only consent documents that have been approved by Chesapeake IRB must be used during the course of the clinical trial. If HIPAA authorization has not been waived, the research team must obtain authorization from the participants.
Fees – It is preferable for the industry sponsor to pay Chesapeake directly for the IRB review services. In addition to the Chesapeake fees (fee schedule available in iRIS-My Assistant-Operating Procedures), CPHS will invoice an administrative fee for maintaining compliance oversight at UT Houston. CPHS administrative fee will be $1300 for initial review and no charge for continuing reviews.
All communication regarding the research must be directed to the Chesapeake IRB representative. However, researchers may contact CPHS Office for assistance or clarification. Representatives from CPHS Office will have access to all UT Houston research on the Chesapeake electronic IRB system.

Rogers Cup Visitor Information
I would have posted it in the Rogers Cup forum, but I doubt many people are visiting that forum yet so I thought I'd get more info here. Snowwy can move it if you think it should be moved.
I'm thinking about planning a trip to Toronto this summer for the Rogers Cup. I've never been to a live tennis event before, and have never been to York University.
I was checking out the ticket prices, and they're quite expensive. I've already asked on another forum but I figured I'd ask here, has anyone here watched from the 300 level? How is the view? I don't mind not being up close and was wondering if I should go for a package in the silver seats or just get a few sessions in the 300's.
Also the packages on the Rogers Cup site are limited, I heard that in previous years there were more flexible packages, is that true? And will there be better packages as we get closer or is this it?
I was thinking about getting the Mid Week package for the silver seats which is 1 session per day, and then getting seats in the 300's for the other session on Monday and Tuesday, that way I'll get all of Monday and Tuesday so I'll get to see all the Canadians who get in, plus I'll get to see some top ranked players on my Wednesday, and Thursday session. That would likely be $400 at least and probably closer to $500 based on their listed prices which I'm not too keen on spending, but whatever.
Also, I'm looking at transportation. I have family in Scarborough, and Pickering, but they will likely have to work so I'll probably have to take the subway, and then transfer to a bus to get to the Rexall Centre. What is the best way to do so?

She may have created a flutter by contesting against former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari from his home turf Nagpur, but Anjali Damania's candidature has caused a discord in the local Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) unit because of her being a perceived as an outsider in the city.
Damania's presence has added colour to the fight, which has Gadkari, incumbent Congress MP Vilas Muttemwar and BSP's Dr Mohan Gaikwad in the fray. The pathologist, who is a familiar face on television debates, had leveled allegations against Gadkari in the past.
While AAP leader Mohan Karemore quit in protest after Damania's candidature was announced, as she hails from Mumbai and not Vidarbha, another leader Jammu Anand was suspended from the party's primary membership, allegedly at the behest of pro-Hindutva groups in the party. Karemore is now contesting as a candidate of his National Aam Aadmi Party (NAAP).
Apart from Karemore, social activist and scholar Dr Rupa Kulkarni Bodhi, who heads a formidable body of household help — the Molkarin Sanghatana — was also in the fray for the AAP nomination from Nagpur.
However, Damania claimed that she was getting a "huge, phenomenal response" in Nagpur and rubbished contentions by her detractors that she was an outsider. "Ask Gadkari why Narendra Modi stays in Gujarat and contests from Varanasi or why Rajnath Singh contests from Lucknow or Sonia Gandhi from Rae Bareli," she retorted, while speaking to dna, during her road show in Muslim-dominated Mominpura.
"Perhaps there was no capable candidate from Nagpur city and, hence, an outsider was dispatched here," said Karemore, who said he will also field around 10 NAAP nominees from Maharashtra. "This is not Aam Aadmi Party but Khaas Aadmi Party," he alleged, claiming that Damania did not know anything about the political and social realities of Nagpur.
Karemore questioned why the AAP had taken interviews of prospective candidates and made them complete various modalities if it wanted to nominate Damania.
Karemore, who is an RTI activist and former state organiser of the Hindu Mahasabha, claimed around 2,500 to 3,000 people had quit AAP in protest against an "outsider" being nominated. He lashed out at the AAP leadership for "cheating the people of Delhi and trying to do the same to the citizens of Nagpur and Maharashtra".
Anand, a former Communist Party of India leader and trade unionist, said, "Anjali's purpose of contesting from Nagpur is a mystery." He alleged that he had been suspended from the party's primary membership for "unknown reasons", allegedly at the behest of RSS sympathisers in the committee.
"They have an understanding... with Nitin Gadkari through the common DNA of the RSS," he charged, adding that that's why he was supporting Muttemwar, who had the potential to defeat Gadkari.
Anand, who also leads the conservancy workers of Nagpur, said this discord over the candidature had "put a spoke in AAP's wheels" and made it lose the momentum it has acquired in the preceding weeks.
Damania, who had party chief Arvind Kejriwal campaign for her, denied any rift in AAP's Nagpur unit over her nomination, and pointed to Karemore's Hindu Mahasabha background. She said he had "been sent by BJP to AAP" and added that Anand had a dispute with the local unit. Damania added that after her victory in Nagpur, she will shift to the city.

Although the exact biological process is not completely understood,
scientists have described three different stages of atherosclerosis that lead
to the "clogging" of your arteries.
What does atherosclerosis do to arteries?
The role of smoking
Smoking plays a large role in the development of atherosclerosis. The
carbon monoxide and nicotine contained in tobacco smoke affect blood flow
through your arteries by:
Reversing atherosclerosis
If you think of atherosclerosis as a response to injury, the buildup
of fibrous plaque can be reversed by removing the source of injury. In the case
of high cholesterol, by reducing the amount of LDL cholesterol in your arteries
and increasing the amount of HDL, which removes cholesterol that is already in
your artery walls, you can actually reverse atherosclerosis. The ability to
reverse atherosclerosis helps explain why treating high cholesterol can reduce
the risk of further complications from atherosclerosis.

EYES ON LONDON: World record for Jamaica 4x100
nepal Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you:
JUST IN: Someone has just brought Usain Bolt back the baton from his team's 4x100 meter men's relay. The sprinter had not wanted to give it up after the Jamaicans broke the world record Saturday in a time of 36.84 seconds.
- Jenna Fryer - Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer
Canadian sprinters are still in shock after the team got disqualified in the men's 4x100 meter relay and lost the bronze medal they thought they had won.
Oluseyi Smith said the team's manager will file a protest.
Justyn Warner was bent over, sobbing.
"It hurts. I don't know what happened," Warner said. "Jared (Connaughton) said he stepped on the line. We were behind and I had to run the guy down. I put everything into that. It just showed up as DQ'd. We ran a good race. We got the job done. It sucks."
- Jenna Fryer - Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer
U.S. women's track coach Amy Deem after the Americans won the gold in the 4x400 meter relay:
"These women have grown up with great role models. There's great leadership with Sanya (Richards-Ross) and Allyson (Felix)...
"I know the women are going to be strong in the future. This is just the beginning. I really think that with social media and TV, it's going to be a springboard for women in sports."
- Jenna Fryer - Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer
The Jamaicans have smashed the 4x100 men's relay world record.
Usain Bolt completed an Olympics gold medal sweep - a back-to-back triple for him - with a blistering final leg. Their time of 36.84 seconds destroyed the world record of 37.04.
The Jamaicans beat the Americans, who set a national mark in finishing second.
After the relay, Bolt argued to be allowed to keep the baton but an Olympic official refused. As he waved off the official in disappointment, the crowd booed.
- Jenna Fryer - Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer
Caster Semenya made a late surge on the last lap of the women's 800 meters, rallying from last to second to capture the silver medal at the London Olympics.
"Unfortunately, it was too late," the South African said. "I'm happy with the silver but I know the coach is not really happy. We learn by mistakes."
Semenya carried the flag for South Africa in the opening ceremonies.
"I'm very hapy with silver at (my) first Olympics," she said. "For me it's a successful career. For now, I just have to concentrate so I can win the next Olympics."
- Jenna Fryer - Twitter http://twitter.com/jennafryer
4x400 WONDERS
Talk about dominating the field.
The American women have easily captured their fifth consecutive Olympic win in the 4x400 relay. Their winning time of 3:16.87 was a season best. Russia finished second in 3:20.23 and Jamaica was third in 3:20.95.

Wow, that looks great... and I usually don't even like stock cars.
I'd love to take a spin with it! Bet it's loads of fun!

They sure don't make Hondas like they used to.
Looking back, they really were slow as balls and thousands in mods could barely help that. There were a ton of cars back then that could get similar or better fuel efficiency, simply because cars were able to be lighter back then. The interiors were pretty solid compared to the competition, although the styling was always a bit boxy and some interior bits were clearly "cost effective".

Wow- such wonderful little cars.
I just wished I could fit in them.
I find it patently ridiculous that I can fit well enough in a similar vintage MX-5 to drive it, but can't even get behind the wheel of a CRX without breaking my neck off.
At least the front wheel drive CRX hatchback doesn't have the MX-5's chick car status.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Thanks for all the love. This is my car. I bought it off of the original owner and although I will be modding it, I will keep all of the original components--I will mostly focus on suspension, Racetech rt1000 will be replacing the driver's seat and a sexy 15x7-8 wheel and sticky tire combo will replace the skinny stockers.
Even the little d16a6 with I/H/E can do 0-60 in about 7.5 secs. Not bad if you ask me. That being said, there cars are stellar handlers. On an autox course, few cars can challenge them.
So to answer a question on the previous page. Why a CRX?
Excellent fuel economy
Great rear cargo room
Super easy to park in the tightest spots due to the excellent turn radius and mini cooper size.
TONS of aftermarket support
Extremely reliable
And an absolute blast to drive
Great looks :p
Reminds me of my miata.
Nice Si.
I'll be in my bunk.

very nice. we have two hatches that compete around here, they are later cars, but the DNA is there, awesome to race in.

Also, 13.9 isn't even coming close to the capability of these. E85 tuning and bolt-ons these days make it possible for these cars to put down 220-230whp all-motor..not even getting into FI. Throw on some slicks and they are running 12's. In today's world where cars like mine are considered light (a 3200lb GTI) we forget how 400hp isn't always needed to go fast.
Congratulations on a nice pickup.

My best tank was 37.0mpg and that was about 70% highway. If I had stayed on the highway the entire time I'm sure I could've hit 40.0 or higher. The EPA estimated 29/32 back in the day, for me it was more like 23/40.

Such a great little car when it's un-molested. My buddy had a beater one in red, but it was still fun to zip around in.
Unfortunately for many, a HP number and how fast you can get to the next light determine how awesome a car is. To me that's kinda like when I was a child and thought that the speedometer max meant that was how fast the car could go. Man those 85mph cars were slow back in the Carter years

During its meeting Monday, the Sedalia City Council got an updated view of the Fiscal Year 2013 budget, which the council will vote to approve this month. Among the items discussed were the sales tax growth rate, projected fund balance and a few outstanding projects.
�The council has been looking at the budget and various projects since January, but we had a few points we wanted to clarify and make sure we knew where council members� thoughts were before moving on,� said City Administrator Gary Edwards.
Looking ahead to FY2013, which starts April 1, Edwards and city staff have predicted a 1.5 percent growth in sales taxes next year.
�That percentage is pretty conservative. Generally sales tax comes in 7 to 10 percent above the previous year,� Edwards said.
�We like to be on the safe side with sales tax growth mostly because we can�t control what happens beyond our borders. State and federal economies have a large impact on us, so we�re taking a more cautious approach.�
Though the city may be cautious, projections show increased revenue for FY2013 with $26,825,462 anticipated total revenue funds and a general fund balance of $9,233,374 for the end of FY2012.
�However, looking at last year�s projected revenue and expenses, we did come up shorter than we thought we�d be,� Edwards said.
�We had about a $104,000 difference between revenues and expenses due to unbudgeted expenses � the tornado and wind storm cleanup as well as repaving Thompson Boulevard. Thompson, especially, is an excellent example of why we shouldn�t authorize major expenses outside of the budget.�
Most of the biggest projects � the Washington Avenue bridge, new fire truck and station and the sidewalk program � will be financed through Fund 15, a quarter-cent sales tax, while the other five projects will come from the general revenue fund.
Edwards pointed out that some of the projects are long-term commitments, including the fire station, which will replace the 40-year-old Fire Station No. 2 at 2606 W. 16th St., and will take 20 years to completely pay for, and the fire truck, which will take five years.
The council also approved changes to a few projects discussed during the strategic budget planning session Feb. 18, including:
� A new citywide pay plan that will be implemented March 18. The plan will move all employees into a step chart, and depending on current market value, some employees may receive a raise. �These raises won�t be across the board,� Edwards cautioned. �It will depend on market value, how their pay compares to similar jobs in comparable cities.�
� The creation of a new building to house the Crown Hill Cemetery office. The current building does not comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, which opens the city to lawsuits, Edwards said. A new building will also move the offices onto cemetery property and include storage space. Originally, the council was presented with a proposed $250,000 budget, which it rejected. The new budget will be $108,000 for the building and creating a columbarium.
� Repairing sidewalks within city limits. During the budget planning meeting, council was asked for $100,000 to build new sidewalks and repair old ones. After discussion, council members decided against new sidewalks and will instead focus on the repair of broken or damaged walks in the north and east portions of town.
� Council also heard about miscellaneous projects, including creating an internship program between the city and State Fair Community College, sending a citywide survey on public opinion of city services, and adding $2,000 to the community development budget to become more active in retail.
The council will review the official budget and vote on its approval during its regular meeting March 19.

Charlie Haden, the preeminent bass player of his generation, died on July 11 at 76. Fresh Air's Terry Gross spoke to Haden five times throughout his career, in interviews which span from 1983 to 2008.
Haden was born in Shenandoah, Iowa, and grew up in Missouri. From the age of 2 until he was 15, he sang on his family's country music radio show. He had to stop singing when polio affected his vocal cords, at which point he got serious about playing bass.
Although he was brought up on traditional music, Haden made his reputation in jazz; he helped lead a musical revolution in the late 1950s and early '60s as a member of the original Ornette Coleman Quartet. In 1969, he launched his own group the Liberation Music Orchestra, which performed works inspired by liberation movements around the world. In the '80s, he founded the group Quartet West, drawing inspiration from film noir and jazz and pop singers of the '40s and '50s. Haden was especially nostalgic for that era. "I think it's important to remember beautiful things in the past," he said in his 1992 interview.
In 2008, he made an album with his three daughters and his wife, performing the kind of country music he sang as a child.
In remembrance of Haden's extraordinary career, Fresh Air assembled some of his best interview moments.
Interview Highlights
On playing with Ornette Coleman, and how other musicians reacted
"There was a lot of controversy around us. When we opened up at the Five Spot in New York, fights used to break out right in the club. People would be putting us down, people would be praising us. The club was packed every night with everybody from different parts of the art world: Painters, famous writers, film makers, dancers, musicians. I would look out, and standing at the bar would be Paul Chambers, Percy Heath, Charlie Mingus, and they would be looking dead in my eye, you know, saying, 'Okay, what are you going to do?' And I would be playing, and have my eyes closed, and one night I opened my eyes and there was Leonard Bernstein with his ear glued to the front of my instrument.
"It was like that every night, it was very exciting. The violence wasn't exciting. One guy set somebody's car on fire. One night, I remember, somebody came back in the kitchen, we were standing, talking with Ornette — I won't say who it was — and hit Ornette in the face. It was really a very strong 'excitation' time. New things were happening, not only in music, but in people's minds, every night from that music."
On being arrested in Portugal
"We were playing with the Newport Jazz Festival of Europe, which included Duke Ellington's band and Miles Davis and a lot of people — giants of jazz. It was really a very exciting tour, but the last place that we were playing out of 14 countries was in Portugal, and I went to Ornette [Coleman] as soon as I saw it on the itinerary and I said, 'I'm not playing.' And he said, 'Well, we've signed the contract; we should play. You'll get me in trouble if we don't play.' So I decided to play, but what I did was we played 'Song For Che' [at] the concert, and before we played it, I dedicated it to the Black Liberation Movement in Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bissau. [It] was in a hockey stadium in Casegas, outside of Lisbon, and there were 20,000 people there, most of whom were young students and were ready to hear something like that. They started chanting, and all hell broke loose as soon as I made the dedication, and police were running around with machine guns trying to get order. There was cheering — you couldn't even hear the song, there was so much cheering.
"My wife had just given birth to triplets back in New York, and it was a very traumatic birth. And I was going to cancel the European tour before I even left New York, and she persuaded me to go. And then, after I was arrested, I thought maybe I'd never see my kids. I was actually crying, and I didn't know whether I would even live or not. But now, looking back on it, even though it was very scary and very frightening, I know I would do it again, and I'm glad that I did it."
On his family's country radio show growing up
"Every day was a great experience for me. I just loved it. We did our radio show from the farmhouse, and my brothers and sisters would go out and do the chores, milk the cows and come in, have breakfast, and my dad would crank the phone on the wall to let the engineer in Springfield, [Mo.], know that we were ready to go on the air, and we'd do the show. Every day was like a wonder to me."
On selling out to make more money
"At one time in my career, my wife Ellen [and I], we had just gotten married, she was pregnant with our first child and we were both scuffling financially. I was working a little bit with Ornette, I was working with Keith Jarrett, and there wasn't enough money coming in to really pay the rent. And we were living in a four-flight walk-up tenement with cockroaches, you know, the typical New York musician beginnings. I felt guilty that I wasn't making a living, and so I bought a Fender bass and I ... started doing television jingles and commercial music recording that was really awful, that I really didn't believe in. I started coming home depressed. I said, 'I feel like I'm aiding and abetting the enemy.' And [my wife] said, 'What do you mean?' And I said, 'I feel like I'm contributing to the people who are destroying creative values, and who are perpetuating shallow values, and that I'm a part of it.'
"It isn't what I want to do. I have a very clear picture of what I want to do and what I feel is important as far as my contribution or my appreciation and respect for this life that we're living, and to try to make it better. I can't feel that I'm making it better playing commercial music, and I never could and I never will."
On being born in the wrong era
"I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance. He was one of the only actors that refused to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee back when the Hollywood Ten [blacklist] was happening [in the] McCarthy period. I wish I could've been friends with Charlie Parker and played with him. That's my period. I feel real close to the '40s — and actually I was born in '37, so I was a kid singing on the radio in the '40s. But I always dreamed of going to big cities."
On improvisation and being in the moment
"I think it's very important to live in the present. One of the great things that improvising teaches you is the magic of the moment that you're in, because when you improvise you're in right now. You're not in yesterday or tomorrow — you're right in the moment. Being in that moment really gives you a perspective of life that you never get at any other time as far as learning about your ego. You have to see your unimportance before you can see your importance and your significance to the world.
"The artist is very lucky, because in an art form that's spontaneous like [jazz], that's when you really see your true self. And that's why, when I put down my instrument, that's when the challenge starts, because to learn how to be that kind of human being at that level that you are when you're playing — that's the key, that's the hard part."

Charlie Haden was a great bass player. In a period of about a month we lost Horace Silver and Charlie Haden, two giants of Jazz. I especially enjoyed to hear first hand his story about being arrested by the PIDE in Lisbon for supporting the anti-colonial forces in Angola and Mozambique. I identified immediately with his condition because my father was also harassed by the PIDE - the Fascist State Police - for years for his democratic beliefs and political activism!
This fresh air segment really broke me up, his rendition of "Going Over Jordon" was beautiful and precious, like Charlie's life itself. Thank you Terry for putting this together, it was perfect.
best fresh air i've ever heard! what a beautiful person, and teri sounded great!

16.06.04 - Dominic Pesoli's 8 Count Productions' in association with Lou Duva's Duva Boxing are proud to announce full details of UNDEFEATED, a spectacular lineup of professional boxing at the DePaul Athletic Center on Friday, June 18th broadcast live on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights. Fight fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance by calling 312-226-5800 in order to assure entry.
Headlining the action packed card is a ten round junior welterweight bout between two highly regarded unbeaten prospects looking to break into the top 20 world rankings as Chicagoan Al "Speedy" Gonzales, (14-0-1, 7KO's) takes on Philadelphia's Demetrius Hopkins, (14-0-1, 6KO's). Hopkins is managed by his uncle, World Middleweight Champion, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins.
Just added to the card is a Chicago "cross-town showdown" between local middleweight prospects David "The Weasal" Estrada, (4-1, 2KO's) and "Marvelous" Shay Mobley, (6-2-1, 2KO's) in a scheduled six rounder.
A special feature attraction is the return of former amateur standout, welterweight Rudy "El Cachorro" Cisneros, (1-0, 1KO) in a four round bout. Cisneros had the DePaul crowd on their feet from start to finish last Friday night as he made his pro debut at "Latin Explosion" with a thundering first round knockout over veteran Ron Clardy.
Co-headlining the card is another junior welterweight affair between two rising prospects as Kendall Holt of Patterson, NJ, (15-0, 11KO's) takes on Tom Davis of Weatherford, TX, (8-1-1, 4KO's) in an eight round bout.
Also returning to the DePaul Athletic Center is Chicago native lightweight Tommy Pyle, (1-0) who made his successful pro debut in a terrific slugfest against Marty Lee Nunn this past April. Pyle will face off against Danny Schlienz, (4-4-1, 3KO's) of Grand Macias, MN in a scheduled four rounder.
After a ten month layoff local favorite "Homicidal" Sammy Merza, (13-0, 10KO's) returns to the ring in a six round super middleweight bout. Merza seeks to regain his highly ranked prospect status by restarting his career with a splash at UNDEFEATED.
Crossing the Indiana/Illinois border is hot young prospect, lightweight Jermaine "Too Sweet"
White, (2-0, 1KO) of Merrillville, IN. The 22 year old White had his hometown crowd buzzing in April after his four round all action war with Jamie Alvarado and his 8 Count Productions debut is hotly anticipated by the local crowd.
The open to the public weigh-in will be held on Thursday, June 17th at Liberty Auto Center, 1000 E. Park Ave. in Libertyville, IL at 7pm. Tickets will also be available at the weigh-in.
The DePaul Athletic Center is located at 2323 N. Sheffield in Chicago, doors open at 7pm, first bell is at 8pm.

"Congratulations to the Best Band in Texas!" says the hand-scrawled sign on the door to the band hall. The mimeographed letter posted with the practice schedule is similarly upbeat: " Get involved. You are the Golden Eagle Band, the finest that there is." This Richardson High School band really is one of the top bands in the state, and it's especially strong in the music department. Last summer it won the Class AAAAA Honor Band competition, which is a concert category judged on the basis of tape recordings. But can it march as well as it plays? To be the best, you have to do both. Anyway, the kids who come shuffling in on this early morning in late summer don't much look like champions. They look like raw recruits, some sitting timidly in the corner, others horsing around so as not to betray their anxiety.
This is a meeting of the 64 sophomores, the latest additions to the band. As they assemble, the man in authority takes the floor. "You know me," he says "You'll get to know me better." He is Scott Taylor, Richardson High's band director. At 35, he looks and acts like Baretta, the television cop, but he has a wider face and a South Texas accent.
"We're here to learn to be friends and to excel," he goes on. "We're not here to humiliate you. There are times when you will feel bad, embarrassed. It's not intentional and we've all been through it. It's short-lived. On September third you are going to have to set foot out there on that football field and perform. You have to be aggressive if you want to succeed."
The Richardson High School band has had notable success in playing and marching, but that does not make it particularly unusual. Texas bands are the finest in the country—the three dozen or so best high school bands in the state could be matched by perhaps only a dozen others throughout America. Every fall, thanks to God, 3,500 band directors, and 350,000 indefatigable band members, the show resumes all over Texas. From Monahans to Houston, Amarillo to Brownsville, and points between and beyond, that show is apt to be the best band in town on any given weekend night. Whether you have kids in high school or just an active nostalgia of your own adolescence, you can't help but be attracted whenever you get within earshot of a high school stadium on a fall evening. The swarm of spectators, the blaze of the stadium lights, and especially the music drifting through the air make you feel a little left out. And that is the power of Texas' high school marching bands: you want to drop what you're doing and join the crowd.
How did Texas come on such preeminence? How did it happen that the Richardson High School band is generally more successful than its football team and appears to have a lot more fun? How, for that matter, did it come to pass that the children of cowboys, farmers, and rough necks put on uniforms and picked up the piccolo and the snare drum and the tuba?
Bands came to Texas because it was frontier, not in spite of that fact. Brass bands gained prominence in the Civil War, and their importance increased after the war with the success of sit-down-band composers like John Philip Sousa. As the west was being won, the little towns that wanted some music in their opera houses could seldom find anybody to play a sissy instrument like the cello, but there was always someone who could play a horn—the generic name in band parlance for any wind instrument. Eventually bands worked their way into the schools. An important reason, of course, was football. Texas A&M was one of the first schools in the country to have its band put on a halftime show, sometime back in the twenties. Others soon followed, and in the 1935-36 school year, Abilene High School became the first high school in Texas to make music part of its curriculum. Other states that were high on football, like Michigan, were band-crazy too. But over the last forty years a number of factors have helped Texas win out over its band-and-football rivals.
First is climate. Who wants to march in Michigan after October? Second is the irrepressible enthusiasm of Texas' local citizenry, who will raise large sums to supplement their band programs. The University Interscholastic League, which formulates regulations for all sorts of Texas school competitions, including musical ones, has also whetted the competitive instinct in Texas. And in recent years there has been money available in Texas and not elsewhere. This year as many as three hundred band directors from other states have found employment here.
Most important, though, is the political acumen of the music teachers and their supporters. The Texas Music Educators Association is smart and well organized; its executive secretary, Bill Cormack, may be the only ex-choir director in the country who is a registered lobbyist. The TMEA has managed to get the Legislature to declare fine arts, including music, a basic subject on par with the three R's. That is why the kids learning to march in Richardson mastered music in junior high that students in other states won't tackle until college. The Golden Eagle won their Honor Band contest by playing knotty pieces by modern composers Percy Grainger and Aaron Copland.
Marching bands have undergone three revolutions in the last forty years. All bands started out using military-based marches with shoulder-to-shoulder, precision drills and a long marching stride of six steps to five yards. East Texas bands still favor a military marching style, but the rest of the state changed from close-order drills to shows with a theme—pumpkins for Halloween and turkeys for Thanksgiving—and a shorter stride of eight steps to five yards. Most Texas bands changed a second time when theme shows were replaced by abstract and geometric designs constructed by field-filing assemblages of musicians, flag bearers, drill teams, and majorettes.

Latest Metabasis Cutbacks Leave Just Seven Employees
Juha-Pekka Tikka5/27/09
San Diego-based diabetes drug developer Metabasis Therapeutics (NASDAQ: MBRX) laid off 35 of its 125 employees in November, and another 38 in January. Those cutbacks amounted to 28 percent and 43 percent of the biotech's workforce, respectively.
At that time, new CEO Mark Erion said he was optimistic the diabetes drug, MB07803, would lead to a strategic collaboration later this year. Erion also looked to establish a collaboration to continue work on its glucagon antagonist program. When Metabasis reported its first-quarter financial results earlier this month, Erion indicated the company is still searching for a strategic partner or to raise capital later this year.
Today Metabasis announced it is reducing its workforce by another 45 employees, or approximately 85 percent of the company's remaining payroll. Only seven employees will be left. The company sites "difficulty in raising sufficient capital" and says it may be forced to cease operations entirely.

Lounge is large and comfortable with a nice view of airport. Wifi is working well. Food choice is good
and ranges from salads to hot soup, chicken as warm pasta and more. Drinks are served at the bar by the
glass for booze and wine. Soft drinks and beers are served in cans. Not much reading material but a
decent lounge to relax before a long flight.

No hot water in showers. Waiter who was laying out food dropped cutlery on floor and then without
cleaning it put it on table for guests to use.

Pleasant welcome. Had the lounge all to myself - early Sunday morning. Good selection of snacks and
drinks. Spacious - comfortable and varied seating with views of the airport runway.

Review by : K Pahkim (USA)
Large lounge overlooking the tarmac. Lots of different zones to sit in, but it got really crowded with
Start Alliance and SAA flights using this facility. The mini wraps and sandwiches are acceptable but
you have to ask for bottled water and chips and the attendant had a bit of an attitude. The internet
was very good and the shower facilities good.

Review by : R van Niekerk (New Zealand)
Refreshing, clean, well staffed and friendly. Didn't mind spending time here waiting for my flight.
Staff were very friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome on arrival and departure. What you
would expect from a business class lounge.

The layout itself is not very appealing and the food selection is quite basic. I don't take pre flight drinks but
the choice I noticed was very limited and the access poor.

A large, comfortable lounge, with good amenities (including smoking room, TV room, children's room, and
showers). A nice selection of packaged sandwiches and wraps, and a bar with a good range of alcoholic
beverages, as well as a proper espresso machine. Staff were friendly and pleasant.

Checked in at 10am en route to JNB and Hong Kong. On arrival at the lounge counter, staff were
chatting among themselves - not really interested; no verbal communication from them - even after our
"hi" - just a pointed arm in the correct direction after we accidentally turned toward the first
class lounge. The lounge itself is light and spacious. Enough choices of food and some fresh fruit.
Surprisingly no decaf coffee - not an uncommon demand these days. Upon leaving we again had no
acknowledgement - the ladies did not even glance at us as they chatted. A simple smile with a "hello
and welcome" and an "enjoy your flight" as we left would have sufficed. It left us wondering if the
rest of our flight was going to be like this - thankfully it wasn't. Johannesburg Business lounge (on
our return) could give them a few tips.

Great new lounge SAA has in place now from the World Cup. Large and comfortable. Free wifi,
smoking room, good views on tarmac, food good, expresso machine run by staff instead of just
self serve. Overall great new installation in the airlines home airport.
Review by : M Shah
Date : 18 October 2010
Very large lounge with plenty of sofa style, dining, recliner seating. Seperate kids area,
smoking zone, TV zone, work stations, etc. The bar is manned, and decent selection of drinks.
Food selection is average for J class lounge. No hot food, just sandwiches, fruit and salads.
Excellent showers and bathroom facilities. The staff felt too much at home, and were loud and
obtrusive. Excellent view over the aprons. Free WiFi. Overall great lounge.
SAA have an arrivals lounge just after you clear customs, before exiting into the arrivals
lounge. It is well marked to the left and upstairs. It is not large, but has 4 excellent
showers, good selection of food (breakfast was cereal, toast, pastries, sandwiches, fruit
tea/coffee etc.) No alcoholic beverages. Smoking room. Comfortable seating. Again the staff
are too loud and obtrusive but provide good service. Free WiFi.

I thought the lounge was excellent. I thought the staff were great and facilities good also.
Its no Singapore Airlines but its fine for price paid for ticket.

Date : 15 June 2010
As we were flying first on Emirates, we had access to the South African Airways lounge. First
class passengers were directed to the right and business class pax to the left. The lounge is
not really big but it has all one needs except wifi. There are 2 computers, but the connection
is really slow. There is a nice coffee corner with snacks and some alcohol, aswell as a
smokers lounge. The nicest feature however were the showers: really big, clean and with lots
of amenities.
Review by : Theresa Crause
Date : 1 February 2010
Pathetic is the only word I can use to describe this lounge. I asked at the first class
lounge why we were not allowed in there (facilities fabulous for first class). After
complaining about the lack of warning for business class passengers about the lounge, they
would still not budge saying that we are unable to use the facilities besides the toilets
which were located in the first class lounge (none in the business class lounge and quite far
away!). Very disappointing. Like other reviewers, it is unacceptable that SAA expect
business class passengers to pay the full price but do not provide the full facilities.
Review by : Stuart Walker
Date : 14 September 2009
Very poor. At approximately 10am it was impossible to find a seat. Selection of food and drink
minimal. No wireless and only two computers. No toilets. No telephones.

from Earl Sweatshirt (Ft. Casey Veggies & Vince Staples) – Hive Lyrics on Genius
Niggas tend to pick that Litter Life that OF reps; as noted here, "Odd Future's full extended acronym is OFWGKTADGAFLLBBLSBFBN, which stands for "Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All Don't Give A Fuck Litter Life Bacon Boys Loiter Squad Butt Fuck Bitch Niggas."
Or it could be saying that the those who aren't as good as them are stuck doing shit like picking up litter on the side of the road.
Also possibly a play on the phrase "pick of the litter" saying that Earl is the best rapper of his generation.

Political Science
While most people associate Political Science with the study of governments and other political actors, as a field of study it is varied and diverse.
As a student of politics, you will examine some of the most fundamental concepts of human existence, such as power, conflict, citizenship, economic relationships, culture, law and policy, ethics, justice, freedom, equality, legitimacy, representation, civil disobedience, and resistance. You will analyze the political impact of social issues such as war, poverty, crime, education, the environment, race, gender, class, and globalization.

Dolores Broderson rode a bus for 11 hours from Detroit to attend the Americans for Prosperity Conference in Washington DC this past weekend. She was looking forward to the pro-liberty, pro-capitalism, pro-American conference. But on Friday night several Occupy DC leftists pushed Dolores down the cement stairs.
78-year-old Dolores Broderson is helped up after she was pushed down the stairs by Obama-endorsed Occupy DC protesters outside the Americans for Prosperity Dinner in Washington DC on Friday night. She went to the emergency room with a bloody nose and bruises on her hand and leg.
Yesterday she talked about the attack.
Via Breitbart TV:
The obamanation's storm troopers at work.
The Barack Obama Lied (Die Fahne hoch)
Flag high! Ranks closed tight!
The Acorn Troopers march with bold, firm step.
Union enforcement battalions
March together within our ranks.
Clear the streets for the Acorn battalions!
Clear the streets for the Union men!
Millions already look hopefully up to the Messiah.
The day is breaking for hope and change!
For the last time now the call is sounded!
Already we stand all ready to fight!
Soon the Obama banners will flutter over the streets.
Our enemies won't last much longer!
Flag high! Ranks closed tight!
The Acorn Troopers march with bold, firm step.
Union enforcement battalions
March together within our ranks.
German original
Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit mutig-festem Schritt.
Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
Marschier'n im Geist in uns'ren Reihen mit.
Die Straße frei den braunen Bataillonen.
Die Straße frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann!
Es schau'n aufs Hakenkreuz voll Hoffnung schon Millionen.
Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an!
Zum letzten Mal wird nun Appell geblasen!
Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit!
Bald flattern Hitlerfahnen über Barrikaden.
Die Knechtschaft dauert nur noch kurze Zeit!
Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig-festem Schritt.
Kameraden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
Marschieren im Geist in unseren Reihen mit.
Approximate English translation
The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
SA marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom Red Front and reaction shot dead
March in spirit within our ranks.
The streets free for the brown battalions,
The streets free for the stormtroop man!
Already millions look with hope to the swastika
The day of freedom and bread is dawning!
Rollcall has sounded for the last time
We are all prepared for the fight!
Soon Hitler flags will flutter over barricades
Our servitude will not last much longer now!
The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
SA marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom Red Front and reaction shot dead
March in spirit within our ranks.
Grandma needs to be a member of the heavy
Handbag club.
Savages. On another note I am watching Laura Bush on t.v. What a class act unlike the wookie that currently lives in the White House.
I am not surprised that the D.C. cops just stood there. My experience with D.C. municipal workers, regardless of their job titles, has usually been negative. Public employee unions at work.
At 78 years young, she is very lucky that she did not break a hip falling down the stairs. She is not out of the woods yet, since if she is taking a long drive back to Detroit, she is at risk for an embolism. I wish the best for her and a safe trip and recovery.
I've listened carefully to these interviews and the picture that presents itself to me is as follows:
The occupy protesters, while guilty of creating an unsafe and potentially dangerous situation by blocking the exit of a crowd of people at the top of a flight of stairs, did not "push" anyone down those stairs. It sounds to me as if the "push" was created by the force of the ever-increasing crowd at the top of the stairs itself. The pressure built up and eventually broke the chain formed by the protesters, resulting in several people at the front of the crowd falling down the stairs.
The other possibility, based on the victims accounts, is that, with pressure mounting against their line, one or more of the protesters made the decision (with good or bad intent) to break the chain themselves. Either way, no one was pushed down the stairs by the protesters – which the headline above clearly states.
I feel strongly that we need to strenously avoid, in our fervor, the journalistic tricks of the liberal media. If we are to persuade others to our position, we must be the ones who tell the absolute truth as we know it. I despise the lies the left tells in advancing it's agenda, and I would not, for all the world, have us follow that path.
I believe the Occupy WS People are going to make it much easier for the electorate to make choices in the 2012 elections.
If the people want the government to be fiscally responsible, follow the Constitution, limit government overreach and restore America to being a strong international power – it should be clear that they will vote for the conservative or Republican candidate.
If the people want more of Obama and the Jean Quan type of liberal policies where the government castigates the wealthy, increases taxes and the debt, instigates class warfare and panders to unions, and teachers, and the type of people that want socialism and government intrusion (EPA, etc) in every aspect of business in America, they will vote for the liberal or Democratic candidate.
The problem as I see it is that while we on the right have been tolerant to date of the corruption, overreach, socialist tendencies, taxes, Obamacare, etc – if the Democrats manage to get Obama re-elected, I don't believe the conservatives will continue to just sit and watch our nation go down the tubes.
Has anyone thought about what we can and should do if (God forbid) Obama gets re-elected? While I believe his re-election is doubtful, I don't think we should just sit back and wait. The Democrats have been doing everything they can to build up their constituency with growing the size of government, expanding entitlement roles and instigating class warfare. I no longer have confidence that a majority of Americans have their heads screwed on straight due to the brainwashing that has occurred in academe over the last 50 years. Regretfully, we clearly have a lot of nut jobs in America.
What should we do if Obama gets re-elected?
Do you think that some laws and Constitutional rights may have been violated?
The organizers should be held liable for the actions of their group. Maybe even facing lawsuits?
Waiting for AARP to issue statement to the effect, that i she signed up for obamacare she would not have to worry about her hospital bill.
[[Engdahl said she called 911 in the middle of the show and told them the protesters appeared organized with a plan of attack as they had all the convention center exits blocked.]] earlier this year i believe another event had the exits blocked/locked but trying to find the story – you can't get beyond the port they blocked…….
i had the pleasure [not] of listening to a never-worker snot nosed twit bemoaning the fact that the old people were using all the money that should go to the young. that would be those who worked all those years to enjoy their retirement and fruits of their labor and this
welfare recipient [and that he was along with his various children and their various mothers]
had no shame that he would begrudge some comfort to the producers who made this country. i dealt with him directly and knowing his history made it that much more difficult and under control [as i had to be]. i no longer have to be.
Hellen Thomas has a sister?
The only way a sexy lady like that deserves to break a hip is with me while we listen to Marvin Gaye.
Next time, forget calling 911…just pull multiple fire alarm levers…see who shows up.
#8 – If the protesters did not "push" the elderly lady down the stairs – then who did? Are you saying she threw herself down the stairs? That this was somehow her fault? Are you kidding me?

Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative | 1-800-923-2203
For over 75 years, SVEC has been energizing our communities with safe, reliable and affordable power.
By 1939, electricity had spread to most major cities and towns across the country, but folks living in America's rural interior were shut out. Investor-owned utilities saw no profit in providing electricity to such sparsely populated regions. TVA, which was created in 1933 through the passing of the TVA Act, introduced by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, purchased property in Bledsoe, Marion, Sequatchie and Grundy Counties from the Tennessee Electric Power Company. After articles of incorporation were filed and approved by the State of Tennessee, Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative bought the property from TVA and immediately began extensive rehabilitation of the power system and started an aggressive program to build lines to serve new customers.
Over the past 75 years, SVEC has continued to expand our electric system, grow our member base and fuel our local economy by attracting new business. Our story is one of growth and steady progress, driven by determination, hard work and the goal to make our communities a better, safer, more prosperous place to live.

assuming the balance of a surface tension and a normal component of a viscous stress.
Mori[8] discussed the free surface flows before the wave breaking took place. He divided the flow into three stages; the development of the free surface shear layer, the formation of the necklace vortex and the production of unsteady turbulent free surface flow. It was called "sub-breaking waves" as a free surface turbulent flow in distinction from spilling or plunging breakers. He also deduced that the free surface curvature played a role to generate a vorticity on the curved free surface and the vorticity could be one of the sources of the necklace vortex. The theoretical background of the free surface shear layer was also given by Batchelor[9].
Mori and Shin[10] simulated the sub-breaking wave generated by two-dimensional submerged hydrofoil. They used experimental results to set the free surface boundary condition strictly. Mori and Lungu[11] simulated two-dimensional sub-breaking waves directly by imposing a disturbance for vertical velocity component while Coleman[12] used a disturbance of pressure on the free surface. The role of these disturbances might be a kind of a trigger for the transition to the turbulent flow and it might be assumed as a source that maintains the turbulence on the free surface.
Main objective of the present study is to make clear the characteristics of the flow at the early stage of bow wave breaking around surface piercing struts, especially the effect of the vorticity generated on the free surface on the vortical and turbulent flows beneath the free surface. To simplify the problem, the surface tension is excluded in the present investigations. Numerical investigations are made by solving the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(NS) and continuity equations by finite difference method(FDM). Several computations are performed to investigate the effects of computational and physical parameters, for examples, grid dependency, the effects of the Reynolds and Froude numbers, free surface treatment and so on. To investigate the curvature effect of the bow, four different struts having NACA0005, NACA0008, NACA0012, and NACA0024 sections are used(called NS05, NS08, NS12 and NS24 respectively hereafter). The fluctuated free surface flows called sub-breaking waves are also studied by Large Eddy Simulation(LES). Some computed results are compared with the experimental results.
An observation of bow wave patterns was performed for NS08, NS12 and NS24 models at the circulating water channel(CWC) of Hiroshima University. The length and draft of the models were 0.8m and 0.4m respectively. Experimental arrangement is shown in Fig.1. The wave patterns were photographed under the CWC. The striped-screen was fixed above the free surface to make the pictures clear. To remove a surface tension, a surfactant was used[13].
Fig.2 shows a schematic view of the bow wave on the center plane. The "Zone-I" where the free surface has smooth concave curvature is the part ahead of the bow wave. Through a sharp change of the curvature, the flow enters "Zone-II" where the flow can not be stable any more. A border of these two zones is "wave front" where the curvature has a maximum[8].

Earlier tonight part of my usual gaming group tried out the 5th edition palytest rules. While playing we ran into a situation that we didn't have an immediate answer to, and the discussion, though civil, pretty much brought play to a halt.
Our group is made up of 7 people, three of whom DM. Our gaming experience runs the gambit from a fresh 13 year old to the old man in his late 60's who has played everything from Chainmail on down. The majority of us are in our 30's and 40's. Two of our 40 year olds were missing tonight.
The playtest went pretty much as expected for those of us that have played older editions. Most of us seemed to like the Advantage/Disadvantage system, but we found ourselves stumped on a particular idea. We had a decent group of kobolds that out numberd us, giving them advantage. It was a melee scruffle, and thanks to our mage, all of the kobolds were in a source of bright light, giving them disadvantage.
So far so good, the advantage and disadvantage cancel each other. Now, one of the kobolds swings at a target adjacent to the cleric of Moradin. The Dwarf attempts to use his defender ability.... what happens next?
We have two main camps on this issue. One is that once an advantage and disadvantage are cancelled out, and through a certain interpretation of not having multiple advantages (dice really), then there can be no further advantages or disadvantages to help or hinder the actor. In the case of the example above, the cleric is unable to use his defender reaction.
The second reading of this issue assumes that advantages and disadvantages stack, but are not allowed to give more than one extra D20. They continue to cancel each other out until there is only advantage (or disadvantage) left. Pointing back to the above example, the kobolds numbers are cancelled by the light, but they still are still able to be affected by the further disadvantage of the cleric's reaction... 1 ADV -2 DIS = 1 DIS Meaning logically that the poor blinded, but numerical superior kobold still rolls against his target at disadvantage.
I understand that the obvious answer is ... whatever the DM says. But as I've mentioned in the intro, we have 3 DM's and one wasn't even here tonight. My real concern is to wonder what the design philosophy for the adv/dis system is going to be. How simple can something be... and it still work?
I argue that a decent, but quick game will be able to be played that involves "advantage math". I think that if most bonuses are whittled down to just advantage then players will want to try to stack as many advantages as possible in order for the advantages to have any effect whatsoever.
The other GM, the more experienced and much older one, seems to think that for the advantage system to work, advantages need to be rather rare, otherwise they will always be negated by a disadvantage completely.
I'm not sure what else to write on this, but I'm curious to what other people think. Thanks.
