|A Heirloom Apple Event
October 2013 Produce Parable
In early October, Seed Savers Exchange celebrated the diversity of apples with "Forgotten Tastes: An Heirloom Apple Event." The event was hosted at Grade A Gardens, an organic farm in Johnston.
Telling that story was Dan Bussey, and apple expert who has works with Seed Savers. He has a zeal for apples, also the likes of which most people have never seen, and his passion for them is infectious when you listen to him speak of the history of heirloom apples. Through the gently drizzle of the rain and with Cousin Eddy music softly playing in the background, Bussey preached the wonders of apples.
"When it comes to apples, there's everything under the sun when it comes to color, shape, size, texture, flavor" Bussey said, "I've spent close to 30 years cataloging all the different varieties I've seen growing in North America from the 1600's to modern times, and the number now is over 25,000 that have been grown in this country. I wonder where they are all at this time, and unfortunately many of them have been lost. But when I see homesteads with this one single lovely apple tree thats maybe 100 years old, those are just those little gems that pop up every now and then that may be the lost variety we're looking for. My mission is to try to preserve all the different genetic diversity in the varieties of apples."
Bussey takes his mission seriously, as he has been working away at the orchard and building the bank of genetic diversity within it.
"Today we brought 60 apples, just under 10% of the total apple variety at Seed Savers orchard" Bussey said, "The initial planting of the seed savers orchard was a little over 500 varieties. They were put on a dwarf stock called P22 from Poland. Its a dwarfing tree that will get 6-8 feet tall. One thing about dwarfing stock is that its precocious, it grows fast. When I came on two years ago I started with 550 varieties. Since I've been there the collection has grown to close to 1,000. Right now in this country there are probably 5,000 varieties of apples you can still get to grow. We have lost a huge amount of genetic diversity, which is unfortunate."
When pressed for advice on how to pick the perfect apple, Bussey had some to give.
"Not all apples do everything" Bussey said, "They all cook pretty well, but as far as a good eating apple, its what you like. There's a difference in cultural awareness of apples as well. In some European countries flat apples are considered poor. In this country we like bright shiny reds and yellow colors. You have to get past what it looks like to try it."
He also had one final message, one meant to be taken to heart lest we loose all of these heirloom apples due to the whims of consumer demand.
"We eat with our eyes," Bussey said, "That means if it looks good, we think it tastes good. I want you all to get past that."

might be able to hop over.. what's the plan exactly?
June 6th, 2006 #283
that's what i'm wondering- the plan so far is that everyone meets at a rendezvous point- designated U.C.M. , and then rolls out to- where? after the set waiting point for stragglers
will this be at someone's house? a bar? a strip club? where???

Jaïn, your place big enough for this many people? We could hit the city if it gets too crowded.

Well, the plan is that we're going to be getting ourselves at least a couple of beers at my place, tolsteegsingel 53(googlemaps or something), which is through town, along the oudegracht and through the twijnstraat, i live near 'het ledig erf' which holds a couple of bars and terasses near nature if it really gets too crowded, which is pretty unlikely (my room can support i think up to 12 - 14 people) there will be a crate of beer waiting so, i suggest we at least finish of that, and there's a AH nearby.
so in short, the plan is to draw a lot for as long as you like untill about i guess 12 -ish, which is partytime for those who desire to run rampant in utrecht.

'Encyclopedia Paranoiaca' mines fears and phobias for laughs
By Current State
It may be hard to believe, but evidence suggests many otherwise benign, everyday items like flip- flops, drinking straws and neckties pose serious dangers. Other reputable data point to the health risks involved in common activities like flossing our teeth, washing our hands and eating leafy greens.
Writer Christopher Cerf discusses his book that delves into these disturbing -- but seemingly absurd -- "dangers." Cerf is the co-author of "Encyclopedia Paranoiaca," which he claims "might just save your life, but probably won't."

Car loans are picking up as sentiments in the economy turn around.
Car loan books of most leading retail lenders including State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank are rising both sequentially and year on year.
While automakers are going for more car launches, banks are marketing their loans aggressively with an eye on bigger market share.
After a lull of two years, car sales have started showing signs of revival as they grew for third straight month in July.
Most carmakers reported a healthy growth in wholesale dispatches for the last two months in anticipation of a price hike from July.
Prices of cars were expected to go up as the reduction in excise duty announced by the previous government in the interim budget in February, was due for an expiry on June 30.
The Narendra Modi government, however, extended the duty benefits till the end of December this year.
Arundhati Bhattacharya, chairman of State Bank of India, said after the June quarter results, "Car loans are picking up. In fact, in July, we are seeing a better growth than the previous month. Retail growth will predominate our loan growth until capex picks up after a few quarters."
SBI has the largest car loan portfolio of Rs 28,202 crore, which grew by Rs 277 crore over previous quarter and about Rs 1,791 crore over the corresponding period a year ago.
ICICI Bank has the second-largest portfolio at Rs 27,851.6 crore, which grew by Rs 263.6 crore over the preceding quarter and about Rs 3,221.5 crore over the year-ago period.
Chanda Kochhar, chief executive officer and managing director, ICCI Bank, said in a media concall after the banks quarterly results announcement, "Growth in retail loans will continue to be in the excess of 20% for the rest of the year, loans to companies will start from working capital requirements and then move to capital expenditure."
As per the recent data released by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), car sales grew 5.04% in July this year, a third straight month of growth, prompting the industry body to raise the growth projection for the fiscal.
Car manufacturers, meanwhile, expect sales to rise with the revival in sentiments.
"The negative sentiments have gone. People are coming back to showrooms. As the economy revives we are going to see higher growth in the coming months," Vishnu Mathur, director general, SIAM, told reporters recently.
With the upcoming festival season, manufacturers have lined up model launches. The industry expects at least a single-digit growth by the end of this year. "We have grown by 2.89%. If the trend continues we hope that we could end the year with a growth of anything between 5% and 10%," said Mathur.
HDFC Bank also saw a 14% rise in its retail loans.
Paresh Sukthankar, deputy managing director, HDFC Bank, said, "In terms of our actual disbursements, there has been a pick up in a couple of retail loan categories in the last quarter or so. If we look at actual disbursements on a sequential basis, there is a slight pickup in auto loans too. We are all looking forward to the economy reviving, and expect growth to come back in a while, but not immediately.
Sales of Maruti Suzuki, the biggest carmaker, rose 10.3% in the April-June quarter, led by strong performance of its small, entry-level cars. The company told analysts that its sales in the urban market has started to revive and grew almost 12% for the quarter, while rural sales continued to remain strong with 26% growth.
Talking about the overall industry sales, it said the demand is more sentiment-driven.
"Enquiries have gone up in the past few months. However, this is more of a sentiment-driven demand. Increase in investments, job creation, festival season -- all this will add to the momentum. If all this happens we will see better next year," said a Maruti Suzuki executive in an earnings conference call. The company improved its market share by 3.6% for the June quarter to 44% compared with the same period last year.

Waugh, MR; Parkin, IP; (2010) Enhanced Solubility and Covalent Functionalisation of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes via Atmospheric Pressure Microwave Reflux and the Subsequent Spray Coating of Transparent Conducting Thin Films. CURR NANOSCI , 6 (3) 232 - 242.
Full text not available from this repository.
High levels of covalently functionalised single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) have been produced using a rapid atmospheric pressure microwave reflux in a 1:1 mix of concentrated nitric and sulphuric acids. The resulting product shows high solubility (0.74 mg/ml at pH 11) and also displays a maximum solubility dependency based on the pH of the solution. The presence of sulphone and sulphonate functional groups has been shown using EDXA, TGA and IR analysis. The structural and electronic characteristics of the nanotubes were monitored using Raman spectroscopy and SEM imaging. Spray coating was used to form transparent conducting thin films from the functionalised nanotubes. The films demonstrated sheet resistances from 300 Omega/square and a 25-85% optical transmission at 800 nm. This method provides a fast and effective route to the formation of conductive nanotube thin-films without the need for surfactant stabilisation of the solution. In addition the functionalisation was shown to be a fully reversible process sensitive to thermal treatment. Film formation removed the nanotube functionalisation and restored the pristine nanotube structure.

Irani Cup, a one-off cricket contest heralding the new season, always used to attract the best on the circuit. A call-up to represent the Rest of India against the Ranji Trophy champion was considered a step short of representing India.
Times have changed, and the much-awaited fixture now appears more of a formality as Rest of India and Rajasthan meet in the five-day match starting at the SMS Stadium here on Saturday.
For many, the Irani Cup holds unforgettable memories. Would you believe the inaugural match, played over three days at the Railway Stadium in Delhi in March, 1960, witnessed a unique happening — 12th man batting in both the innings. The privileged 12th man happened to be Prem Bhatia, a former Delhi captain. Now 71, Bhatia remembers the match vividly. "I was still at college and was picked in the Rest of India side. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined I will get to bat. I was not in the playing eleven."
Lala Amarnath, 49, was the chairman of the National selection committee and had picked himself in the Rest team. But a knee-injury reduced Lala to a spectator after he had bowled 11 overs of medium-pace. Lala, a most colourful and authoritative personality, asked Bhatia, "Do you like to bat?" Bhatia was stunned and managed to mumble "Yes Sir."
Bhatia was promptly told to "pad up" even as rival captain Polly Umrigar protested weakly. Bhatia, walking in with Ghulam Guard on a hat-trick, borrowed Lala's kit and made 22 and 50 in the two innings as Rest drew with Bombay. That was the inaugural Irani Cup match. Bhatia understandably has fond memories of that match.
For players like Dilip Vengsarkar, Pravin Amre, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and W.V. Raman, the Irani Cup offered a platform to stake their claims for an India cap.
Pankaj injured
For Rajasthan, the opportunity provides a platform for some to showcase their potential after the maiden Ranji triumph this year. Fast bowler Pankaj Singh will miss the match due to a knee injury.
"The ball will seam a lot. It is a sporting pitch," observed Kanitkar, who was pleasantly surprised when told of the Bhatia episode.
The teams (from):
Rest of India: Parthiv Patel (capt.), Shikhar Dhawan (vice-capt.), Abhinav Mukund, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Mandeep Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Rahul Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron, Prasanth Parmeswaran, R. Vinay Kumar, Jalaj Saxena and C.M. Gautham.
Rajasthan: Hrishikesh Kanitkar (capt.), Aakash Chopra, Vineet Saxena, R.R. Parida, Ashok Menaria, Robin Bisht, Dishant Yagnik, Manjeet Singh, Deepak Chahar, Sumeet Mathur, Aniket Choudhary, Madhur Khatri, Gajendra Singh, Rohit Jhalani and Vaibhav Deshpande.
Umpires: K. Hariharan and C. Shamshuddin.
Third umpire: Bharti Vij.
Match Observer: Raju Mukherjee.
Keywords: Irani Cup, Rest of India, Rajasthan

WowWee 's Wi-Fi Spyball
By Emily Clark
January 13, 2009
January 14, 2008 A scaled back version of the Rovio Wi-Fi robot webcam, the Spyball from WowWee is a remote controlled, Wi-Fi enabled, transforming robotic ball that allows kids to see what their brother or sister is up to, as well as checking out what's for dinner in the kitchen – all undetected.
The new robotic toy unveiled at CES 2009 promises to be more affordable than the USD$299 Rovio (but no exact figure or release date has been revealed at this stage). The integrated spy-cam captures video and still images and is equipped with wheels designed for fast, smooth mobility and 360-degree turns. The transformable shape changes from ball to camera and back again to enable the device to move with stealth and in disguise.
To watch the live action from the spycam, users can make a connection via any Wi-Fi-enabled device including a PC, laptop, video game console or mobile phone. The included USB cable allows users to configure a simple home network setup process that will allow the Spyball spycam to be controlled from any remote location via the web.
What would be really cool is if this toy incorporated something like HomeCamera (www.homecamera.com). Then I could see what happened all day, access the camera from my mobile... That would be a riot! ;-)varun

On my first ever Central America trip (1974) I traveled with friends in a big Camper (Cab over type) We were basically on a Surf trip to El Salvador and Costa Rica. We toted my little Honda 50 step through ... and many times that little bruiser turned out to save the day ... and saved our butts. I eventually bailed out of the trip (in El Salvador where I stayed a couple months surfing) I ended up riding the Honda 50 all the way to Oaxaca, Mex. where I met a friend and got a lift for me and bike back to US. Gone 6 months on that trip. I've done 2 or 3 more since.
hahah fantasic the auld HOnda 50 eh... cant beat with a stick!!! fair fu@cks to you.. that was pretty adventurous back then, surf hunting... Have you seen the docu/film Wave Riders?.... if not get it on line... awesome piece of film... when else do you see lads surfing 40ft waves with the back drop of the cliffs of Moher in Ireland... it tracks the unlikey connection of Ireland and surfing plus some of the old pioneers and some of the new bucks who are coming to Ireland to surf Baleens wave.... its great..
anyways.. your DR sound the job.. cant believe you dont even have to slow down for topes!!... they are my worst enemy....i cant even see em half the time.. and have launched myself off them.. defo cant ride at night..!!
Once I was looking for a place using my i phone as GPS, one hand on throttle... phone in other.. BANG tope... caught some air.. landed straight... crap... another lesson learned there..

University of Texas Arlington
UT Arlington In The News - Thursday, September 1, 2011
Oozeball rescheduled
Concerned about water waste during the worst Texas drought in a half a century, UT Arlington has canceled its upcoming 22nd annual Oozeball tournament and rescheduled it for the spring, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "The city is desperate for water right now. We don't feel we could be a good partner with the city and the environment if we went forward with the event," said Lora Malone, executive director of the UTA Alumni Association, which works with the university's recreation department to organize the fundraiser.
Faculty honors
The Dallas Morning News Education Notes column featured a list of the UT System Board of Regents Outstanding Teaching Award recipients, including eight from UT Arlington. Recipients are faculty members at the nine University of Texas System academic institutions who have demonstrated extraordinary classroom performance and innovation in undergraduate instruction.
New TMAC director
The Fort Worth Business Press' people section reported The University of Texas at Arlington has named Ron Lehman as TMAC center director. TMAC, formerly knowns as the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center, is a statewide program of extension centers. In his new role, Lehman will focus on identifying more revenue opportunities, enhance TMAC's image, develop partnerships and implement strategic initiatives. The news organization also listed UT Arlington professors who received Outstanding Teaching Awards and noted President James D. Spaniolo's appearance on the KERA program CEO.
IT advice
Jon Harris, who recently retired from his job as chief technology officer for The University of Texas at Arlington, discusses the need for chief information officers to delegate some authority to a second-in-command on the itWorld Canada website. He says, "it's critical if the CIO is going to move into the transformational role. You can't serve two masters -- one being the business, one being IT."

Most of the victims were ethnic Hondurans celebrating Carnival. Unemployed Cuban refugee Julio González, whose former girlfriend was employed at the club, was arrested shortly after and ultimately convicted of arson and murder. Wikipedia

Are you thinking about bringing home a live bunny as an Easter gift this year?
Did you know that pet rabbits can live from 7 to 10 or more years and require the same long-term care as cats and dogs?
Additionally, contrary to belief, rabbits are not low-maintenance pets. They have specific dietary and veterinary needs and must be handled with care. Unfortunately, people don't realize these facts and thousands of ex-Easter bunnies are abandoned to shelters or into the wild each year.
This is a subject that I can speak personally about. Our family has three rabbits. I have talked about Humperdink and Penelope in the past. Benjamin joined us last spring. All three of our rabbits came from the Huron County Humane Society. Humperdink and Penelope were pets that were tossed outside to fend for themselves after someone got tired of them. Contrary to popular belief, domestic rabbits do not have the ability to survive in the "wild."
Left to fend for themselves they will suffer from starvation, sickness and serve as prey for other animals. Benjamin was dropped off at the shelter because his owners claimed that their dog was allergic to him. Scared to death by the shelter atmosphere he came to our home for a little rest and recuperation. Needless to say, he is still here and I don't anticipate that he will be leaving.
Rabbits are not low-maintenance pets. They require daily care and ideally should live indoors. Rabbits kept in hutches outdoors have an average lifespan of about one year; house rabbits can live 8 to 10 years. By all accounts, our Humperdink is very near the 10-year mark. Outdoor rabbits become bored and depressed from isolation. Rabbits are very social animals.
Our rabbits live in cages and are always supervised when they are out to play. Rabbits are crepuscular, which means that generally they sleep during the day and during the night but are ready to play at dawn and at twilight. Visit our home on any given afternoon and you will see from about 1 to 4 p.m., it is bunny nap-time. All of them are fast asleep. Benjamin often provides a "wake-up call" for our family in the morning by tossing his metal dish around his cage.
Like cats, rabbits can be trained to use a litter-box. Older rabbits are sometimes a bit easier to train than younger rabbits. A rabbit's attention span and ability to learn increases as they grow-up. If you have a baby, stick with it. Spaying and neutering does make a difference. When rabbits reach the age of 4-6 months, their hormones become active and they usually begin marking their territory. By spaying and neutering he will be more likely to use the litterbox.
Spaying and neutering your pet rabbit can benefit them in many ways. First of all, altered rabbits live longer and healthier lives. The risk of reproductive cancers for a female is virtually eliminated. For males, a neutered rabbit will live longer and his disposition will be better. Altered rabbits won't contribute to the problem of overpopulation. Just like dogs and cats, rabbits are euthanized in shelters across the country.
Rabbits also require regular vet care. Ours visit the vet at least annually for a good check-up. We have also made visits to the vet when one of our bunnies doesn't feel well. Most often our visit is for a hairball. Unlike cats, rabbits do not have the ability to expel a hairball by vomiting. Their digestive system is different they don't vomit.
A hairball can be very serious for a rabbit. I know this all too well. I spent last weekend syringe feeding Penelope baby food, yogurt and pineapple juice. The acid in the pineapple juice helps to break-down the hairball. The yogurt aids in getting good bacteria into the stomach and the baby food (anything green or orange) gives them some nutrition. I had to do this at least four times a day. Once again this dispels the belief that rabbits are low-maintenance.
Although it looks cute, rabbits are not good pets for young children. They must be handled with extreme care; they can break their backs very easily. Rabbits are ground-loving creatures who feel frightened and insecure when held and restrained.
So, if you are considering getting a rabbit for Easter, consider a chocolate or stuffed one. If you still think that you would like a live rabbit, do your homework first.

While prominent Ganpati mandals continue to have their trademark idols, the lesser known ones have taken a lead of sorts to make the festival eco-friendly. Instead of having plaster of Paris (PoP) idols, they have moved to idols made from eco-friendly material.
"Until last year, we too used to get PoP idols. But we wanted to make sure the festival does not harm the environment in any way. So we shifted to eco-friendly idols," said Umesh Poojari, secretary of the Ek Dant Mitra Mandal in Vile Parle (East).
Though made out of paper, they make sure their idol's height remains at nine feet or thereabout, with the decoration on par with that of idols made out of non-eco-friendly material.
Not far from this mandal is the idol of Bal Gopal Mitra Mandal Vile Parlyacha Peshwa, also made out of paper. This mandal, however, went environment-friendly seven years ago.
"It was one of our boys who wanted to move to eco-friendly idols. But he passed away that year. In his memory, we made a paper Ganpati idol," said Digambar Mayekar, mandal guide.
Mayekar makes the idol himself and it takes him around six months. "The idol is 90% eco-friendly. Because the paper does not hold, we use a wire or two in places. ...Ours is a 14-foot-tall Ganpati," he added.
The mandal, however, makes it a point to have all the other decoration made out of paper too. "But these are not immersed. We take them out and reuse next year," said Mayekar.
Immersion is one of the main reasons why some mandals moved to eco-Ganeshas. "We don't like to see Ganpati on the beaches the next day. The idols even kill marine life and cause environmental pollution. Our paper idol, on the other hand, dissolves in minutes. From next year, we will try and make sure that we do immersion in artificial ponds," said Nilesh Bhojane of Tarun Mitra Mandal at Andheri Pump House, Andheri (East).

With her sister in another country, her family miles away, and friends no longer talking to her due to the disgrace of being placed in another House, Melody has never felt so alone. To top that, the people surrounding her are from social backgrounds completely contradicting of her own. People she never expected to spare a second glance, she is forced to live with: Muggleborns and Halfbloods.
Everything that she has ever been taught or led to believe is being challenged. All that her parents have told her is being proved wrong, and Melody no longer knows what to believe. Everything is completely unfamiliar, and she is scared she may be changing. But Melody needs to learn that sometimes change can be a good thing. And sometimes, it can be exceptional.

I don't often root for players, but when I do, I usually go local.
And that shouldn't limit me to Angels and Dodgers, because there are talented Orange Countians and Southern Californians spread all over the MLB map.
That's why, for a couple of hours (hopefully) Thursday, I am going to be pulling for Collin Balester when he makes his 2009 MLB debut for the Washington Nationals against the St. Louis Cardinals at Nationals Park. This is simply the latest reason I believe DirecTV's MLB Extra Innings package is the gift that keeps on giving (except I pay for it).
When we last heard from Balester, it was back in December when Mark Teixeira was still a free agent, and the Nationals were in the bidding.
Balester, 22 at the time, was so excited about the possibility, he predicted on a radio show that the Nationals would "go to the World Series and win it all." He even predicted a four-game sweep by Washington.
And how can you not like youthful enthusiam like that? Sillier stuff gets written on this blog every day, and some of it by folks old enough to know better.
Plus, Collin never said when the Nationals would do this, and since Teixeira is a Yankee, the right-hander from Huntington Beach is off the hook.
Mark Whicker wrote an excellent column on Balester back in July 2007.
From a surfing family, Balester, who turned 23 in June, was 3-7 with a 5.51 ERA in 15 starts for the Nationals in 2008.
Before today, when he fills in for injured Jordan Zimmermann, Balester was at Triple-A Syracuse, where he was 7-9 with a 4.35 ERA in 19 starts.
The Nationals being the Nationals, he probably needs our help.
They take a two-game winning streak into the game against the Cardinals, and their last positive streak that long was during a four-game streak June 17-20, when they beat the Yankees and Blue Jays twice each.
Collin is going to be pitching to Albert Pujols, too. For the first time
Getting back to my opening remark about rooting for players: For most of the 37 years I spent in the sports journalism business, I was a straight-down-the-middle news reporter.

Access Research Network
Access Research Network (ARN), based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, originating from the creationist organization Students for Origins Research (SOR).
SOR was founded in 1977 by a group of students at the University of California at Santa Barbara as an "alternative view" to both the Young Earth creationist Institute for Creation Research and the scientific establishment. Its approach differed from the former (and similar creationist organizations) in that it did not require adherence to scriptural authority and a specific model as to the age of the Earth, potentially avoiding the chronic conflicts that this produced with the scientific community, and hoped to foster a relationship of dialogue rather than debate. In this it was an early advocate of neo-creationism.[1]
It acts as a de facto auxiliary website to the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture (CSC) in promoting intelligent design (ID), and has become a comprehensive clearinghouse for ID resources, including news releases, publications, multimedia products and an elementary school science curriculum. Its stated mission is "providing accessible information on science, technology and society issues from an intelligent design perspective."[2] Its directors are Dennis Wagner (Executive Director) and CSC Fellows Mark Hartwig, Stephen C. Meyer and Paul Nelson.[3] Its 'Friends of ARN' is also dominated by CSC Fellows.[2]
The group's publication includes subjects such as genetic engineering, euthanasia, computer technology, environmental issues, creation/evolution, fetal tissue research, and AIDS.[3] It published a journal Origins & Design,[2] but this has been moribund since 2001.[4]

A pair of District 4-A cat fights took place when Oliver Springs invaded Sunbright Friday night. When the final horn had sounded, the two schools settled on a split in their hardwood encounters.
The Harriman Lady Blue Devils had more boards than Lumber Liquidators Friday night, tallying 54 rebounds in a 63-60 nail-biter over the Wartburg Central Lady Bulldogs.
The Rockwood Tigers played their first home games of the season Friday night and the results were mixed as the Lady Tigers and Tigers split their two games with visiting Oakdale.

Head Liquid Metal Hurricane Racquetball Racquet
Head Liquid Metal Hurricane Racquetball Racquet Details
Product Specs
|Weight: 190 g (unstrung)
|Racquet Length: 22 in
|Factory Grip: Softac
|Factory String: Powerzone PPS
|Balance Point:
|Frame Shape: TearDrop
|Strung Surface: 105 sq in
Description of the Racquet
New Graphics for 2012. The Liquid Metal Hurricane is a mid range weighted lower end model designed for the beginning player.
These are available in 3 5/8 grip size only.
RacquetWorld's General Notes
I would recommend changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), which will be $11.00 installed, for the added traction to prevent slippage. The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down.For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.
The Python Atlas string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable than the Python Atlas string we suggest. At the time of purchase, the Python Atlas restring upgrade is $22.00. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. Another string we highly recommend is the Python Atlas Deluxe restring upgrade ($25.00), and it's a little softer than the original Atlas for those players that prefer a softer string with incredible playability/durability.
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Ektelon Silencer (Our favorite), Head Megasorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.If you want to change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet.Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

The whole point of a defamation suit is to seek reparation for damage done to your reputation. Indeed, in the wake of his shockingly successful defamation suit against the estate (read: widow and children) of American Sniper author Chris Kyle, former Minnesota governor turned conspiracy peddler Jesse Ventura declared that his reputation was restored. But restored to what? This guy wasn't exactly a pillar of the community before Kyle claimed to have punched him in a bar. Here's ten ways Jesse Ventura ruined his reputation without Kyle's help.
10. Wrote a Conspiracy Book on the JFK Assassination
Jesse's status as a conspiracy peddler will make repeat appearances on this list. It's quite a downshift from governor of a state, and yet the path Ventura chose upon returning to private life.
Confirmation bias marks the conspiratorial mindset. It's easy to latch faithfully onto information which appears to verify your presumptions, and just as easy to flatly dismiss information which contradicts your biases. Jesse exhibits that well in this exchange with former CNN host Piers Morgan.

Danding Cojuangco's Negros allies told to back 7 Senate bets
More News from Inquirer Visayas
BACOLOD CITY—Businessman Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco, President Aquino's uncle, has asked his allies in Negros Occidental to support only seven senatorial candidates in the May elections.
Five of these belong to the administration's Team PNoy while two are in the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), according to two close allies of Cojuangco, who talked on condition of anonymity for not having authority from Cojuangco to talk to the media.
Cojuangco said the allies who met with the businessman over the weekend asked for support for only seven candidates.
The allies identified the five Team PNoy candidates as Chiz Escudero, Grace Poe, Loren Legarda, Sonny Angara and Bam Aquino. The two from the UNA are Jack Enrile and JV Ejercito.
Escudero, Enrile and Legarda belong to the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), which Cojuangco founded and leads as chair emeritus.
Bam Aquino is cousin of the President but has no blood relations with the businessman.
Cojuangco has apparently thrown his support to scions of his close friends in politics—the late movie actor Fernando Poe Jr., former president Joseph Estrada and Sen. Edgardo Angara.
Ejercito, son of the former president to San Juan Mayor Guia Gomez, said on Monday he welcomed the support and endorsement of Cojuangco and his allies in Negros Occidental.
"I am very grateful for Ambassador Cojuangco's support and as previously promised, if elected, I will be the voice of Negros in the Senate," Ejercito said in a phone interview.
He said Cojuangco is a "very close friend" of his father. Estrada was the running mate of Cojuangco when the businessman ran for president in 1992. Estrada won but Cojuangco lost to Fidel Ramos.
Cojuangco was in Negros Occidental on Saturday to drum up support for the gubernatorial bid of Vice Gov. Genaro Alvarez and the rest of the NPC candidates in Negros Occidental.
He also met with Manuel Lamata, head of the United Sugar Producers Federation of the Philippines, who committed the support of workers on his farm to the gubernatorial bid of Alvarez, according to Pulupandan Mayor Magdaleno Peña.
Cojuangco also met with Alvarez, vice gubernatorial candidate Eugenio Lacson, and the rest of the NPC local candidates at Hacienda Balbina, Pontevedra, where he extended support and listened to their concerns, Peña said.

Computer Systems Aren't Reducing Medical Errors
Study finds continuing high rates of mistakes in hospitals
HealthDay News — Hospitalized patients expect their care to be safe, but two new reports suggest hospital computer systems designed to weed out dangerous medical errors aren't living up to expectations.
These in-hospital computerized medication entry systems — software that helps doctors, nurses and pharmacists track drug prescription and use — were supposed to help improve safety. But a new study shows medication errors continuing at an alarming rate even when such software is in use.
"In one of the most highly computerized hospitals in the world, we found a very high rate of adverse drug events in hospitalized patients," said lead researcher Dr. Jonathan R. Nebeker, a physician at the Veterans Administration Salt Lake City Health Care System.
In their study, Nebeker's team found 483 clinically significant adverse drug events occurring in 937 Veterans Administration hospital admissions. "That's about 25 percent of all patients," Nebeker said. He added that computer systems used in these hospitals were specifically designed to prevent medication errors.
Nine percent of these adverse events caused serious harm, the researchers report, while the other 91 percent were classified as "moderate"– requiring extra monitoring of patients, immediate treatment or discontinuation of treatment, or an adjustment of the dose of the drug in question.
The most common errors involved a failure on the part of staff to anticipate expected adverse drug reactions. These included failures in looking for common adverse drug reactions and prescribing either the wrong dose or wrong drug.
The report appears in the May 23 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Although the computer system didn't resolve problems with administering medications, drug selection, dosage or monitoring, it was successful in eliminating problems reading physicians' orders, the researchers noted.
Nebeker is concerned these problems will be repeated in other hospitals. "Right now, hospitals around the world are spending billions of dollars to install similar systems with the expectation that these systems will prevent adverse drug events," he said. "Unless the computer system is designed to address the errors, the errors won't be addressed."
He believes systems need to become more sophisticated and interactive. "They have to provide direct physician decision support for ordering drugs," he said. Computer systems need to be able to tell physicians the odds of an adverse drug reaction based on patient data, as well as which drugs and doses are appropriate for which patients.
Nebeker advises caution for hospital considering the introduction of computerized medication ordering systems. "If you expect your computer system to solve all your problems, look carefully at what you're getting, and make sure you are going to get what you think you are going to get," he said.
One expert doesn't find these results surprising. "Computers are not a panacea," said Dr. Albert Wu, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. "The systems still require people to interact with them."
Wu noted that some systems do incorporate decision support, to help doctors prescribe more safely. "These programs, which make suggestions, are more likely to avert problems than dumb terminals that receive what you would have written on paper," he said.
Computerized medication order programs are worthwhile, one expert said, but they need to be tailored to avoid specific errors. "Computerized prescriber order entry is the way we should be going," said Matthew Grissinger, a medication safety analyst at the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. "But it's a computer program, and it means that you are going to have to fine tune it to make it work."
An essay in the May 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association supports Nebeker's study, suggesting that before medication error and other patient safety problems can be solved, the culture of medicine needs changing.
"There has been a great deal of new awareness of the problem of patient safety," said co-author Dr. Donald M. Berwick, a professor of pediatrics and health care policy at Harvard Medical School. "But we don't see any evidence, nationwide, that there has been any shift in the current level of overall patient safety. There have been small gains but nowhere near what was called for in the report [Institute of Medicine To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System], or is possible."
To improve patient safety, Berwick and his colleague Dr. Lucian L. Leape, also from Harvard, believe that national goals need to be set that can be committed to and monitored.
Berwick said that improving patient safety has been seen as a technological problem. "Technology is the easy part," he said. "The hard part is changing cultures in health care."
This means changing how doctors and other health-care professionals interact. "There is an over-investment in autonomy of clinicians, even when it isn't wise," Berwick said. "There is a failure to invest in cooperation and communication."
"There is no question that if you want to make patients safer, one of the hallmarks of a safe system is high levels of cooperation, communication and teamwork," Berwick stressed.
Wu agrees with Berwick. "The biggest challenge is changing culture," he said. "Systems are not designed to be safe, they're designed to be efficient. The biggest thing that has to change is that people have to realize that safety is one of the things that we should be trying to assure."
Wu believes health-care professionals need to make patient safety a priority. "They need to understand and put into action the idea that part of their job is improving safety," he said. "Most people don't think that's part of their job description."
According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), health care in the United States is still not as safe as it should or could be. According to the IOM's report, "at least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented."
