Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Warns Of Builders Chinese Drywall Fixes & Asks Why No Obama For US Homeowners Stuck In Chinese Drywall Hell
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "it's too bad the national press has failed to cover the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster, and/or President Obama's failure to respond in person to this major US disaster. It's been almost two years, and President Obama has yet to address the toxic Chinese drywall disaster one time in public? But he has time to do Comedy Central?" The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center estimates in the US Southeast alone there are well over 200,000 new or remodeled homes that contain some toxic Chinese drywall. The group has been demanding the US Justice Department and the US Environmental Protection Agency take over the investigation of the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster, out of fear the US homebuilding industry is hiding or lying about the scope, and/or scale of this disaster. The group is warning US homeowners in Florida or Texas to not get suckered into a quick fix builder letter, that signs away their rights. They say, "US homebuilders in Florida and Texas are luring desperate homeowners into waiving their rights–with a quick fix–no supervision by the US EPA, no guarantee the fix will work. We say, if you are a homeowner who just received a homebuilder letter offering to fix your home, call us first before you agree to anything." The group says, "we think if your home has Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall, you will be far better off with the federal court in New Orleans, and we will help you get signed up. Your settlement with the actual maker of the toxic Chinese drywall, Knauf, will be much better than a homebuilder quick fix. However, if you have a toxic Chinese drywall product other than Knauf Tianjin, you are stuck–you probably are better off with whatever the builder gives you." Homeowners seeking honest information and help with the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster can call the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com.
Washington, DC (Vocus) October 28, 2010
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "it's an election year, and as usual, President Obama is on the campaign/agenda trail, this time trying to save his majorities in Congress–but why won't the press highlight the failure of the Obama Administration or the Reid/ Pelosi Congress to help desperate US homeowners and their children in the absolute worst mess of their lives? Toxic Chinese drywall in new or remodeled US homes is worse than the BP mess." The group says, "toxic imported Chinese drywall is the absolute worst environmental disaster for US homeowners in our nation's history, we think there are a million-plus US citizens living in toxic Chinese drywall hell, and if this were President Bush, as opposed to President Obama, we think after 20+ months, the national press would be calling for a presidential resignation." They say, "we are convinced long term exposure to toxic Chinese drywall is going to prematurely kill innocent US homeowners, and their children. Homebuilders did not start using toxic Chinese drywall after Hurricane Katrina is a lie–they started using it as early as 2001, we are certain the toxic Chinese drywall disaster is coast to coast, not just in the US Southeast. Again we ask, why no Justice Department, why no EPA, why not one word in public from President Obama about toxic Chinese drywall since taking office?" http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "is the national press aware of the fact that over a year ago a delegation of Washington DC bureaucrats went to China to inspect some of the mines, where the toxic Chinese gypsum originated–they were surrounded by Chinese officials, no inspection ever took place–no US national news coverage?" The group says, "had the average US citizen heard about Chinese goon squads preventing US investigators from doing their jobs on NBC. CBS, ABC, Fox, or CNN, there would have been national firestorm about toxic Chinese imports, but the story never was reported? Why is the national press so afraid of telling this story?" On October 26th the head of the pitiful US Consumer Products Safety Commission said the following, "contaminated Chinese drywall was a complicated issue and that she was hopeful that the Chinese government will use its influence with state-owned companies to help us reach a fair outcome for everyone involved." The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "Huh? 100,000′s of innocent US homeowners are suffering in home with imported toxic Chinese drywall, and the US Consumer Products Safety Commission has yet to recall one sheet of toxic Chinese drywall, after almost two years of knowing about it–and this is not an election issue?" They say, "do US taxpayers deserve better from their government, from their President, from their Secretary of State? President Obama's mishandling of this toxic Chinese drywall disaster would be laughable–but kids potentially dying prematurely because they live/lived in a toxic Chinese drywall house is not very funny, nor is an agenda driven US President who appears to be both blind, and deaf." http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, "the most important thing for us right now is to get all Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall identified in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Houston and Austin metro areas of Texas. Time is running out and we need to get you identified now. For a very simple self inspection guide, please visit our web site." They say, "secondly, if you live in Florida or Texas, and your home builder has written you a letter about fixing your home, please call us before you do anything. If you have Knauf Tianjin, we think you will be much better off with the Knauf Tianjin settlement via the federal court in New Orleans than a cheap builder fix and we will make it as seamless as possible for you." Finally the group says, "we care about these innocent people, these kids, these ruined lives–we are not going to back down on demanding a federal investigation of US homebuilder involvement in toxic Chinese drywall, we are not going to back down on demanding the US EPA supervise all homebuilder repairs, and we are not going to back down on banks reselling toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures in Florida or any US state without full disclosure." Homeowners stuck in a toxic Chinese drywall house are welcome to call the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Wolverine Tube To Exit Plumbing Business
December 1, 2007
Huntsville, Ala.-based Wolverine Tube Inc. said it will discontinue its U.S. plumbing tube business and close two production facilities - Decatur, Ala., and Booneville, Miss. - due to a decline in demand for copper plumbing, leading to job cuts.
Demand for copper plumbing tube has declined over the last several years as plastic tubes have emerged as a cheaper substitute in residential construction, the company said.
The company said it will cut about 40 percent of its corporate, general and administrative positions, totaling about 40 employees. The Decatur and Booneville facilities, which have 440 full-time and 50 temporary employees, primarily served the U.S. copper plumbing tube and smooth industrial tube markets.
Wolverine Tube is unrelated to South Carolina-based Wolverine Brass Co., which has manufactured faucets and other plumbing products for more than 100 years.

Mobile app technology firm Ansca Mobile has raised $1 million in funding from Merus Capital. Ansca is the developer of Corona, an iPhone app development platform that makes it as easy to create apps as it is to use Adobe's Photoshop progam. That's partly because Ansca was founded by a pair of former Adobe execs. CEO Carlos Icaza and CTO Walter Luh launched the company in 2007, after working on various Flash-based products and teams at Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE).
Ansca will use the money to fund new tech development, including an app-design platform for smartphones other than the iPhone. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company says its goal is to make it much easier for developers on both ends of the spectrum — engineers and web designers — to build high-quality apps. Release.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first Independence Day speech highlighted the extremes that India represents. We don't have toilets for women, garbage collection is a national issue, but indeed, we are a country that's significantly wired into the digital revolution. And in big numbers.
One figure estimates India will have 500 million internet users by 2018, perhaps even surpassing the United States. And so, having a digital vision is important, as it can be a springboard for much of aspirational India. Let's not confuse thoughts of a digital India with the use of Facebook and Twitter alone. It's about e-governance. Interestingly, an internet-savvy India rising side by side, will only progress the country's efforts in removing corruption and building basic civic infrastructure. Modi's speech touched upon tele-medicine, e-education, mobile governance - all of which are efforts with the times given how smart-phone confident our country is.
As one of India's most twitter-savvy politicians, Modi championed the use of social media to communicate with people during his campaign. In his government, he has used it for inter-departmental coordination and for announcing new measures. He has also asked his ministers to use tech tools for more effective functioning.
Modi's new initiatives include a less written about platform called MyGov launched recently to engage with citizens and involve them in the running of the country. Through the platform, the prime minister is throwing an open invite for people to share ideas, which don't usually find their way into government departments and just float in cyberspace. The thinking appears to be that crowdsourcing ideas in an open shared platform will help understand how people perceive problems and their solutions. MyGov has launched some initial groups such as Job Creation, Digital India, Clean India etc on which ideas are being sought, while citizens are also being asked to volunteer for on ground tasks which can help take an important step towards achieving small goals, one at a time. Modi talked about selfless contribution by people to fix India's civic problems. MyGov is aiming to be a national engagement platform where people can exchange ideas and best practices to arrive at a mutually meaningful solution. It's an effort to use digital means to change the ground realities. If one were to believe Mr Modi, then MyGov can be a single window for generating ideas and mobilising Indians towards well-defined goals and targets.
Let's pick basic services. In India, people have to queue up, if not use touts, and pay bribes to get birth or death certificates from municipal bodies. Though the data is already electronic and on computers, it is not available to citizens, who must arrive at this office for a print out and a signature of a government notary. Why should this be the case? Why can't I take a print out or just as many as I would like of birth or death certificates by just logging on? Renewing or applying for your license, passport, university certificate can all be online, end to end. No matter how poor or rich, people will do anything to escape long lines, stuffy government offices and cheats.
Even as India embraces digital platforms to grow online infrastructure, where one doubts the PM's thoughts are when he speaks of manufacturing electronic or digital goods. We should do what we are good at. The Chinese are brilliant with producing products and it will be a while before India can notch up to that scale and speed. Why not make use of existing options as a means to achieve the greater goal of a 'digitally unified' India? This doesn't take away the larger goal of setting up large scale manufacturing units under his larger vision of Make In India, Made in India. But shouldn't those resources be devoted to areas where we are good at or where we can achieve leadership in a short period of time? Could we create opportunities in innovation, digital services and more?
People need to embrace the PM's digital vision as their own because so long they treat it as Modi's initiative, it will not pick up momentum. It has the power to change. Digital dignity is an idea that brings equality of access to all. Just like it has in developed economies like America and Britian. Using digital means is a great tool of participatory democracy and India should embrace the change it brings.
'No snake charmers or black magic, we are digital India,' says Modi and who would want to disagree with that.

As a result, breeders may observe healthy, undamaged celery lines and select them for commercial release. Unfortunately, workers who harvest high psoralen-producing celery or pack it in grocery stores have, on occasion, developed severe photodermatitis, especially when they are exposed to bright sunlight and the celery is infected with pathogens (Berkley et al., 1986; Birmingham et al., 1961; Finkelstein et al., 1994). There are differences in psoralen content from one variety to another (Beier, 1990; Diawara et al., 1993), but environment seems to have the greatest influence on psoralen production (e.g., Diawara et al., 1995).
Mutations, defined as any change in the base sequence of DNA, can either occur spontaneously or be induced, and both methods have produced new crop varieties. Most mutations are deleterious and therefore useless for breeding purposes. However, a mutation can result in desirable traits and may be selected for breeding. Spontaneous mutations, also called "sports" by horticulturists, are by definition not induced, so breeders wait a long time to see mutants arising from this process, and even longer to see useful ones. Most mutation breeders induce random changes in DNA by using ionizing radiation or mutagenic chemicals, such as ethyl methane sulfonate, to increase the rate and frequency of the mutation process.
In spite of these intrusive methods, induced mutagenesis is considered a conventional breeding technique. Food derived from mutation breeding varieties is widely used and accepted. Organic farming systems permit food from mutated varieties to be sold as organic. In the United States many varieties have been developed using induced mutagenesis, such as lettuce, beans, grapefruit, rice, oats, and wheat. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/ International Atomic Energy Agency Mutant Cultivar Database (FAO/IAEA, 2001) lists more than 2,200 varieties of various species worldwide that have been developed using induced mutagenesis agents, including ionizing irradiation and ethyl methane sulfonate. However, the database does not include spontaneous mutations, cell-selected mutants (Rowland et al., 1989), or somaclonal variants (Rowland et al., 2002).
There is no mandated requirement to list new mutant varieties with the database. However, there do not appear to be outstanding examples of mutant varieties with documented unexpected effects beyond what the mutant was selected for, despite the expectation that mutant varieties may possess and generate more unexpected outcomes than ordinary crosses because of the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of nontargeted mutations. Furthermore, there do not appear to be any examples in which mutant varieties were removed from the market due to unintended or unexpected adverse incidents.

Pitchers And Early A.L. Surprises
Pitchers And Early A.L. Surprises
Pitchers And Early A.L. Surprises
By Jim Feist
As we start the baseball season, we have already seen some surprises. The Oakland A's have been terrific on offense, top 5 in runs, but let's not read too much into that. This is a team that was 14th runs scored a year ago and plays its home games in a huge, pitcher friendly park. They opened against the Mariners and Astros and the rest of the month is a tougher test against the Rays, Tigers, Red Sox and Angels.
Speaking of the Angels, the "Super Team" already has its own concerns. Last year they were great on offense, and this season the on-base percentage has been strong, it just hasn't translated into a lot of runs partly because of the struggles of newcomer Josh Hamilton. He's likely dealing with external pressures, like Albert Pujols did a year ago, joining a new team with all the pressures that comes with a big contract.
It's the pitching, though, that is the real problem. righty Jered Weaver is out for a while, an irreplaceable ace. That forces C.J. Wilson to move into the No. 1 slot for now, and he's simply not an ace, a guy who nibbles around the plate and has a tendency to walk batters (he walked 7 in his first 12 innings). That puts pressure on the bullpen to come into games early and gets worse when they have to relieve the other weaker starters in Joe Blanton, Tommy Hanson and Jason Vargas, all newcomers.
It's also a good time to point out that this is an age of specialization for baseball pitchers. You have starters, closers, middle relievers, long relief, set-up men and lefty specialists. Some pitchers feel more comfortable and excel in the role of set-up man than closer, for example.
It can all seem overwhelming and even silly at times. I recall an interview with a pitcher a few years ago who was asked about what his role would be on the team. He looked strangely at the inquisitor. "A pitcher's role," he said, "is to get guys out." If more hurlers simplified things like that, we might see better pitching league-wide.
Pitchers are a unique breed in the sports world. One thing to keep in mind during the baseball season, especially early on, is that pitchers can perform very differently year to year, for a variety of reasons.
The ballpark can play a role in how good or bad a pitcher is, something to keep in mind with Blanton. He has pitched in Oakland and in the NL, but now is with the Angels, a better hitter's park. A soft thrower like him is better suited to a big park like Dodger Stadium, Washington or Oakland than most AL parks.
Hard throwers aren't usually as influenced, such as C.C. Sabathia, who went from Cleveland to the Yankees four years ago and wasn't affected by the small confines of Yankee Stadium. Remember a decade ago when the Yankees picked up Kevin Brown. Brown went from one of the best pitcher's park in baseball - Dodger Stadium - to Yankee Stadium and didn't throw as well. It is a big easier to go from the AL to the NL and not face the DH, as we saw with Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay in 2010 (league leading 21 wins).
You may recall the careers of pitchers Mike Hampton, Jose Lima and Darryl Kile. All three had great seasons in the Houston Astrodome, then played in much smaller parks the next season and got clobbered. Hampton and Kile went to Coors Field in Colorado, while Lima went from 21-10 in the final year of the Astrodome, to 7-16 with a 6.65 ERA in 2000, the first year Houston moved to its current smaller park.
It's essential for sports bettors to keep up on moves, parks and injuries like this. Early in the season, betting lines on pitchers can be based largely on what happened last season, and as I've outlined, pitchers can vary significantly from year to year.
Injuries, too, can be significant. Randy Johnson went 20-4 with a 2.28 ERA in 1997, then the next season struggled with back trouble and a contract squabble, going 9-10 with a 4.33 ERA in Seattle before they traded him to Houston. There, he went 10-1 with a 1.28 ERA the rest of the season!
After a strong 2011, Josh Beckett struggled badly in Boston last year as age and injuries took a toll, as well as the small AL park. Betting lines are made around the starting pitcher, but be careful - starters don't always pitch the same from season to season for a variety of reasons.

Andress, Elliott Sent to JohnstownSubmitted by chad on March 1, 2007 - 17:32
The Springfield Falcons announced today that defenseman Doug Andress and forward Brandon Elliott have been reassigned to the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL.
Andress played in nine games for the Falcons collecting two assists and 16 penalty minutes. Andress has also appeared in 43 games with the Chiefs this season collecting 10 goals and 16 assists for 26 points. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound blueliner remains tied for the Johnstown team lead in scoring among defensemen. Andress played in three games with Springfield during the 2005-06 campaign and scored his first AHL goal as a member of the Falcons last year.
Elliott has appeared in 10 games with Springfield this season collecting one assist and 27 penalty minutes. In 38 games with the Chiefs this year, Elliott has produced 10 goals, four assists, 14 points and 99 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound native of Orangeville, Ontario is in his second season of pro hockey after being drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the fifth round (158th overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Elliott spent the entire 2005-06 season with Johnstown collecting 10 goals, seven assists, 17 points and 207 penalty minutes.

ECHL Game Night 2/28: Bombers at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on February 28, 2007 - 21:57
Roster upheval leads to a critical loss.
Morgan Cey allowed 4 goals on 31 shots in the loss. Randy Rowe had the only Chiefs goal off assists from Geoff Waugh and Dimitri Tarabrin. Johnstown's loss puts them three points behind Dayton for the final playoff spot in the North Division. And, with the Falcons recently calling up two of the team's scoring liners and now having their two highest scoring defensemen in Springfield, things look like the could get a little bleak.
First Period
JHN Rowe, (15) (Waugh, Tarabrin), 16:48
Second Period
DAY Herneisen, (14) (Farynuk), 4:24

AHL Game Night 2/28: Falcons at SharksSubmitted by pete on February 28, 2007 - 21:38
Just plain awful.
Karri Ramo allowed 6 goals on 43 shots before giving way to Jonathan Boutin who stopped 2 of 2 shots the rest of the way. Norm Milley and Daniel Corso each had 1 goal and 1 assist for the Falcons while Eric Healey added an individual helper, but with Nick Kuiper and Joe Rullier not in the lineup the Falcons were little match for the Sharks' onslaught tonight getting outshot a staggering 45-27. Milley managed to be named third star of the game, which is little consolation.
The Falcons are now an unlucky 13 games under .500 for the season.

Hemoporphyric Voracity
I crave the blood, need the taste,
Consume life, Devine
Everyday I rise agonised with paroxysms of pain
Tearing through my body as if I was burning from the inside
The only important thing, getting my fix
Without fresh blood I will not make the day,
I am sanguine, a creature of blood
All beings to me in turn are prey
Veins turn to dust, anhydrously decrepit
My heart, my broken core, it needs to be replenished
The fuel that I require,
delicious, viscous and warm
Essence of life, just the thought sets my eyes ablaze
Without this precious liquid I'll surely not survive another day, until I've had my fill I cannot rest or I will fade... away
I yearn to butcher, bash, bleed and feed
Once I have begun the massacre ensues
Sudden rush of power, end of control
A taste for death so intense, consuming my life, my existence
Oh f#%k how I live for it
lust for the sound of slicing skin
To see the first drop of blood weep from
The aching wound
The scent, the taste, exacerbates the innate primal drive as I spiral into frenzy
I love to see their tears, my efforts are unparalleled I endeavour to savour the screams as I bleed the vessel dry
I butcher and destroy, stalking and haunting the streets until I must rest again
I covet the sweet scent of innocence asepsis ensnares me most, takes my bated breath away
Grabbed from behind, throat sliced with knife, I bathe in the glorious gushing arterial spray
So climactic, sucking the juices from severed aorta
Tonguing the drained heart, gorging on the meaty remains
Like making love but tearing to death
I thrust my hands deep into the chest
Consumed by this infinite puzzle as it unfolds before me
Tearing at my face I cannot feel anything
What am I? Is this real? Is anything?
This desire had spawned insanity
Mindless indulgence will always end fatally
My veins they burn, my skin is on fire, this blood was bad, I've lost myself
Eating my own flesh, draining myself to death

So Much For Our Team
Fortunately, our replacement is even better
One door closes, and an even better one opens. The Tampa Bay Rays-Texas Rangers series featured both the first and final game of the divisional round, and in the end—in a roller coaster ride in which the home team went 0-5—the Texas Rangers pulled out a 5-1 win last night to advance to the American League Championship series, where they will face the New York Yankees, who defeated the Minnesota Twins in three. (As the seemingly unstoppable Philadelphia Phillies did the Cincinnati Reds; it took the San Francisco Giants four games to dispatch the Atlanta Braves.) So the door is closed on Tablet Magazine's official playoff team, which was (controversially) the Rays.
But the door is opened on the Rangers and their second baseman, Ian Kinsler, who is now the only Jewish player left in the playoffs (for what it's worth, he is also the only man named Ian ever to play every day in the big leagues). And it is not like he is some guy who is on the roster: He has played sensationally. Look at his five-game stats! Three home runs (including the game-icing one last night), 6 RBI, a .444 average, and .944 slugging (and a 1.444 OPS for the sabermetrically inclined). Ron Kaplan notes that he was involved in more than 50 percent of his team's runs. Divisional series don't have MVPs, but if they did, Kinsler would have a strong case.
And one more thing. Last time, I tried to justify my case with reference to something about Jews historically being underdogs, and there were somewhat justified complaints in the comments, so I'm dropping that pretext. Just face these facts. The Yankees' payroll is nearly four times the size of the Rangers'. The Rangers savvily traded for starting pitcher Cliff Lee this season, and last night, he pitched a gem of a game, going the distance, allowing one earned run and six hits, and accomplishing 11 strikeouts; in seven postseason starts, Lee is 6-0 with a 1.44 ERA. And in the offseason, he is expected to do what most fabulous postseason pitchers represented by Scott Boras do: Sign with the Yankees. Word is he'll get $115 million for five years. But why not $120 million? $150 million? What exactly is stopping the Yankees from paying him whatever it takes? The lack of a salary cap in baseball is making the game as close to a mockery as it can be.
The dialectician in me would love to see the Yankees win the World Series every year, heightening the contradictions to the breaking point such that the proletariat—excuse me, the small-market franchises and their fans—finally gain class consciousness and successfully agitate for a salary cap. The baseball fan in me, however, simply can't stomach that. And fortunately, the Jew in me happens to agree. Go Rangers!

Re: Could use some info!
Wow! How long is a piece of string?
Well, assuming you are not a troll.....Okay, the budget is a tight for a bluewater boat that size, so TLC will definitely be needed - and a lot of time. It would be tough to get a working 100' sailboat with that budget, and if you did, you would need to hire a crew. If you are thinking about girlfriend and small family, look in the 40'-50' range.
The bigger the boat, the greater the cost - generally exponentially. A 100' sailboat is generally millionaire class. Where would you dock it? Slip fees? Refuel fees? Imagine what a new sail would cost in a boat that size. Think also of the parts, the cost of refurbishment. Think of ongoing maintenance. Haulout fees. Etc etc.
So many of your questions are very subjective, but there are many experts on this forum. The more specific the questions, the better answers you will get. And my opinions are worth what you paid for them!
Single versus twin mast - in a boat that size, a single mast is very big (in a 100'sailboat - enormous). Big means more difficult to handle, exponentially more expensive. Twin masts are generally less efficient, but easier to manage. Friend of mine has a 54', all electric winches, single mast...almost sailable single-handed. Needed TLC but bought for around $250K. Probably put in another $100-200K sorting it out. And the annual maintenance - oh, my, more than my boat is worth every year.
Hull type - depends largely on your expertise. The owners of each generally love their hull - woodies would never go back! If you are a skilled carpenter, a woody is an option. Otherwise, probably not. And for an older boat needing TLC, I would suggest that wood has the highest hull risk, followed by steel. Plastic tends to cope with neglect better.
Others may chip in with ideas; in the meantime you may want to look at
- a funky family who sailed for a few years in a catamaran, then toured around in a VW van, finally bought a 43' monohull needing TLC - and live on it with two children.

But there was one guy among the bowlers who established an odd intimacy with me early on. It was so immediate, and so physically affectionate, that I felt sure he could see through Ned. I never learned his name. I don't think he knew anything consciously. It wasn't that bald. But there was an unmistakable chemistry between us. Obviously, I'd spent my life as a woman either flirting or butting heads or maneuvering somewhere on the sexual spectrum with nearly every man I'd ever met, and I knew how it felt when an older man took a shine to you as a woman. It was always the kind of guy who was far too decent to be creepy, the avuncular type who had turned his sexual response to you into a deep affection. He showed it by putting his arm around you cleanly, without innuendo, or patting you gently on the shoulder and smiling.
This guy was like that, old enough to have gained some kind of relief from his urges, and now he was free to just like me for being a woman. Even if he didn't quite know I was a woman, his brain seemed somehow to have sniffed me out and responded accordingly. The thing was, in this context, of all places, the way he treated me made me feel like a woman -- a girl actually, very young and cared for -- and I wondered how that could have been possible if some part of him hadn't recognized me as such. It was unmistakable, and I never felt it with any other man I came into contact with as a man. I felt something entirely different coming from the other men who thought I was a young man. They took me under their wings. Another older bowler had done this. Taking me aside between rounds, he tried to teach me a few things to improve my game. This was male mentor stuff all the way. He treated me like a son, guiding me with firm encouragement and solid advice, an older man lending a younger man his expertise.
This was commonplace. During the course of the bowling season, which lasted nine months, a lot of men from the other teams tried to give me tips on my game. My own teammates were constantly doing this, increasingly so as the season wore on. There was a tension in the air that grew up around me as I failed to excel, a tension that I felt keenly, but that seemed unrecognizable to the guys themselves. I had good frames, sometimes even good whole games, but I still had a lot of bad ones, too, and that frustrated us all.
At about the five-month mark, Jim began giving me pained looks when I came back to the table after a bad turn. I'd say, "Okay, I'm sorry. I know I suck."
"Look, man," he'd say, "I've told you what I think you're doing wrong, and you don't listen or you get pissed off." "No, no," I'd protest, "I'm really trying to do what you're saying. It just isn't coming out right. What can I do?" I threw like a girl and it bugged me as much as it bugged them. If I told them the truth at the end of the season I didn't want them to have the satisfaction of saying, "Oh, that explains everything. You bowl like a girl because you are a girl." But their motivation seemed comically atavistic, as if it was just painful to watch a fellow male fail repeatedly at something as adaptive as throwing a boulder. Time was, the tribe's survival depended on it. This just seemed mandatory to them in some absurdly primal way.

It's the time of year when the Hollywood trade publications are filled with ads pitching series, actors and actresses to various awards voters.
The TV year ended May 31, and somewhere around 12:01 a.m. June 1, the jockeying began in earnest for the Emmys and other assorted prizes.
Now, members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and other awards-bestowing groups will begin making lists, watching DVDs, sifting through swag and otherwise going through the tortuous process of figuring out who to vote for.
Or, they could just ask me.
Never one to shy from giving his opinion, your friendly neighborhood TV critic offers his own take on who should be taking home the hardware in the coming awards season.
"BREAKING BAD" (AMC) – The top five shows stand well apart from the rest but are difficult to separate from one another. "Breaking Bad" is the rare drama that gets better with age.
"Homeland" (Showtime) – Last year's Emmy winner came back with a strong second season, full of genuinely surprising twists.
"Mad Men" (AMC) – Showing its age a bit, perhaps, but even a less-than-peak "Mad Men" is better than almost everything else.
"Sons of Anarchy" (FX) – This intricately violent gangster series finally stopped treading the same ground and moved at last toward resolution.
"The Walking Dead" (AMC) – The journey of Rick Grimes in and out of emotional death was a compelling center for this surprisingly intelligent show.
The voters might prefer: "The Good Wife," "Downton Abbey" and "Game of Thrones" are popular shows that have been recent nominees. "House of Cards" made a splash on Netflix. "Scandal" is the flashy network show of the moment.
JOEL KINNAMAN, "The Killing" (AMC) – There were only three episodes of "The Killing" in the eligibility period, but we'll call that enough. Kinnaman's detective is the most cliché-free character on television.
Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad" (AMC) – The near-perpetual winner of this category, with good reason.

The Day the Movies Died Without Warning in 3-D
The UA Winrock Theatre 6 quietly closed its doors a week ago.
Sunday, July 21, 2013. That's the day I met my brother at the Winrock 6 to see Pacific Rim in 3-D. Not to ruin the movie for you or anything, but Pacific Rim is about giant robots fighting giant reptilian monsters, and 3-D movies are about making everything look like a View-Master while giving you a low-grade headache.
I liked the Winrock 6. In fact I prefered the Winrock 6 to many other theaters—not only because it was closest to my house, and not only because I had seen tons of movies there with my wife and kids over the past 20 years, but also because it was one of the only theaters left in town with a quaint Mom and Pop feel to it. Sure, it had six screens and was affiliated with a gigantic corporate string of Regal Entertainment theaters, but still felt small, and it still felt Albuquerque. And Albuquerque lost a little chunk of Albuquerque that day.
A giant mega-plex theater is under construction in the parking lot just to the south, and it, too, will be closer to my house than all the other theaters. But it won't be open until December. And things will, as always and once again, never be the same.

But Monday, the winds out in the Chesapeake Bay were fantastic as soon as we left the Great Wicomico. We sailed like mad all day long, all the way down to the entrance to Hills Bay by Gwynn Island.
There were lots of other sailboats out there in the Bay, but the thing that perpelexed us was the number we saw motoring with bare sticks! The wind and weather were just about as perfect as you could want for a day of really great sailing out there on the Bay, so why the hell were these people motoring on a sailboat?
And I'm not talking about people motoring directly into the wind, either - we saw different boats on different points of sail, including ones that could have been making just as good (or maybe even better) time with the sails out - motoring!
Made me think that maybe they need to rethink the type of boat they really want to have.
It's pure sacrilege. If I see stuff like that I start taunting and throwing eggs as I sail by.

[1]Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA, USA
[2]Department of Physics, Thin Films and Physics of Nanostructures, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany
In principal, the calculation of the magnetic state inside a magnetic object requires the evaluation of the field in the entire unbounded space. With finite element methods restricted to finite domains, commonly auxiliary domains are employed which result in a non-physical cut-off. Not only are these additional domains result in an increased number of degrees of freedom which are strictly ...

[1]Dip. di Ingegneria Industriale, Università di Padova, Padova, Italy
[2]Politecnico di Bari, Bari, Italy
The TS (Turin Shroud) [1,2] is a fine linen fabric showing a not yet explainable [3] double body image of a scourged and crucified man stabbed on the side. Many hypotheses have been formulated without success [4] and perhaps the most reliable is one correlated to the Corona Discharge [5] that supposes the presence of an intense electric field, amplified by the presence of ionization induced by ...
Designing of End-winding Corona Protection of Generators by Help of Simulation
M. Wei[1], S. Grossman[1], J. Speck[1]
[1]Institute of Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany
The job of designing end-winding corona protection (ECP) system is one of the very important and complex phases for insulation configuration of high voltage rotating machines. This complexity stems on one hand from the highly nonlinear characteristics of the ECP material and on the other hand from the coupled multiphysics phenomena of the involved performance evaluation. Simulation based ECP ...

Canister Vacuums
Most of us don't enjoy housecleaning chores. In fact most of us dread it. However, vacuum cleaning systems make cleaning easier and faster, thus making the routine grind of cleaning less time consuming. Canister vacuum cleaners are compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tote them up and down the stairs. Storage is easy too, as these canister vacuums can be tucked away into small closets as well. To choose a canister vacuum for your cleaning needs, arrive at a budget, consider the performance of the brand you choose and make a choice between bagged and bagless canister vacuums. We recommend you choose canister vacuums with power selector so you can adapt suction force to the type of floor you clean. Check the weight of the canister vacuum before you choose one, ensure that the power cord is long enough to help you clean large areas and don't forget to consider the filtration system on the canister vacuum you choose. Opt for a HEPA filter if you have allergy sufferers at home.
There are so many varieties of vacuum cleaning systems available in the market today that it can be confusing to choose the best one for your needs and budget. Once you have determined that a canister vacuum cleaner is what you need, GoVacuum can help you narrow your choices further and lead you to the best canister vacuums for your home or office. We provide free shipping on all products and also have a 60-day in-home trial on all of our products. Our aim is to provide you a hassle free online shopping experience for vacuum cleaning systems.

Student charged in Texas college stabbing attack
Wednesday - 4/10/2013, 3:28am EDT
Associated Press
CYPRESS, Texas (AP) -- A student who told police he'd fantasized for years about stabbing people to death was charged Tuesday with carrying out a building-to-building attack at a Texas community college that wounded at least 14 people, many of whom were stabbed in the face and neck, authorities said.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that 20-year-old Dylan Quick used a razor-type knife, and that he told investigators he'd been planning the attack at the suburban Houston campus for some time. Two people remained in critical condition late Tuesday.
Pieces of the blade were found in at least one victim, according to the sheriff's office. Broken blade pieces also were found in the area where the stabbing occurred on the Lone Star Community College campus in Cypress, and the handle was discovered in a backpack that Quick was carrying when he was arrested.
Quick was charged Tuesday night with three counts of aggravated assault. It wasn't immediately clear if additional charges would be filed, though he is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday.
Authorities were seen entering Quick's parents' home in a middle-class neighborhood of Houston late Tuesday. No one answered the door or the phone at the red brick house, where two vehicles were parked in the driveway, including a Honda Accord with a license plate that said "DYLAN." It was not immediately known if Quick had an attorney.
"I can't imagine what would have happened to that young man to make him do something like this. He is very normal," said Magdalena Lopez, 48, who has lived across the street from the Quick family for 15 years.
Quick, she said, would always say hi to her and her family when she would see him outside taking out the trash or working on his family's front lawn. Quick is deaf, she said, and a street sign, "Deaf Child In Area," was posted on the block of brick, ranch-style homes warning drivers of his condition.
"I can't believe he would do it," Lopez said.
The stabbing spree began around 11:20 a.m., and students described a bloody scene.
Diante Cotton, 20, said he was sitting in a cafeteria with some friends when a girl clutching her neck walked in, yelling: "He's stabbing people! He's stabbing people!"
Cotton said he could not see the girl's injuries, but when he and his friends went outside, they saw a half-dozen people with injuries to their faces and necks being loaded into ambulances and medical helicopters.
Michelle Alvarez told the Houston Chronicle that she saw the attacker running toward other students and tried to back away. She said she didn't even feel it as he swiped at her.
"He came running and swinging at my neck, as I tried to get out of the way," she said.
Harris County Sherriff Adrian Garcia said that when emergency calls came into the department, there were indications that "students or faculty were actively responding to work to subdue this individual."
"So we're proud of those folks, but we're glad no one else is injured any more severely than they are," Garcia said.
Media and police swarmed the quiet neighborhood about 10 miles from the campus after the attack. Some neighbors described him as quiet, and noted that he didn't appear to have many friends, staying indoors most of the time unless his parents were outside working in the yard.
Michael Lincoln, who lives next door to the Quick family, described the suspect as friendly.
"If he's outside, he speaks to me, 'Hey neighbor, how you doing?'" Lincoln said.
He added that Quick had never been aggressive, which makes the accusations against him shocking.
"He stayed inside most of the time unless they were doing yard work," he said.
Elva Garcia, 46, who lives two houses down from the Quicks, described him as a nice young man who stayed out of trouble and only came outside with his parents. She saw him, she said, just this past weekend, working with his parents in the front yard.
"We can't even believe it. What motive would he have?" Garcia said.
The attack came three months after a different Lone Star campus was the site of a shooting in which two people were hurt. The suspected gunman in that incident is charged with aggravated assault.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Despite the worst bout of violence in years along the disputed Kashmir border, Pakistani and Indian officials have kept tension from spiraling out of control. It's an example of just how far the archenemies have come since relations were shattered by the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
Risk of escalation remains, but senior officials from both nations have sought to limit the potential damage to relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors, which have slowly warmed since Pakistani militants killed 166 people in the Indian coastal city of Mumbai.
"The violence may have a negative impact and slow down the reconciliation process, but it will not end the process because, despite the incidents, the two governments at the official level are not in favor of escalation," said Pakistani political analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi.
Private Indian media has hyped the Kashmir violence, which killed two soldiers on each side, but the response in Pakistan has been more muted, even among Islamic hard-liners who are opposed to better relations with India and have suspected ties to the Pakistani military, Rizvi said.
"That indicates the army generally wants to improve relations with India," he said. "These groups make noise, but the noise stays within limits."
India and Pakistan have been rivals for decades. The two have fought three wars since they were carved out of British India in 1947 — two of them over the Himalayan region of Kashmir. The region is divided between the two countries, but each claims it in its entirety.
They suspended peace talks after the Mumbai attack, but both countries have reasons for wanting better ties.
Pakistan desperately wants increased trade with India to help turn around its stuttering economy. The country's powerful generals cannot afford conflict with India at a time when the army is bogged down in a battle against Pakistan Taliban militants — a fight that could get even more complicated with the drawdown of foreign forces in Afghanistan.
India's once-roaring economy has also stumbled in recent months, and the government has sought to improve growth, including loosening decades-old restrictions on trade with Pakistan. India also knows from past experience how much damage conflict with Pakistan can cause to its economy.
The arc of relations between Pakistan and India could also influence the fate of neighboring Afghanistan, where nearly all international troops are scheduled to withdraw by the end of next year.
Pakistan is sandwiched between India to the east and Afghanistan to the west. Islamabad has long worried about Indian influence in Afghanistan, which many analysts believe has driven Pakistan's support for the Afghan Taliban. That fear has been compounded by the billions of dollars that India has invested in rebuilding Afghanistan in recent years. Better relations between the historical foes could help ease Pakistan's concerns.

M83, NGC5236, Southern Pinwheel
January 26, 2005
M83, NGC5236, the `Southern Pinwheel' galaxy, is a type Sc spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra. The galaxy has two principal arms and a third, fainter one. There has been a remarkable number of supernovae in M83 within less than a century - at least four since 1923 - compared to the theoretical incidence of one per 300 years. This is still a subject of current research and uncertainty. M83 is 10 million light-years away and thirty thousand light-years across. This picture was taken using color film directly at the Kitt Peak 4-meter telescope in 1973. This is unusual: normally color images are made by combining black and white images taken through different colored filters. Photograph by Bill Schoening.
