New Balance WW847 WB White/Blue Synthetic/Mesh Women's Shoe
Features include:
I have worn this shoe (or previous versions) for more than 5 fives. It wears well and is comfortable. Before I wore these shoes, I endured about 2 years of pain due to chronic plantar fasciitis. I have always replaced the shoe's insoles with a specialized insole that provided firm arch support, deep heel cup and increased stability. This combination has resulted in pain free walking and standing.
Shoe fits just right - I did not have issues with my toes getting crunched because of the width

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 3, 4 pm (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Sam Boyd Stadium (36,800) -- Las Vegas, Nevada. Television: None. Home Record: UNM 2-2, UNLV 1-4. Away Record: UNM 2-3, UNLV 0-4. Neutral Record: UNM 0-0, UNLV 0-0. Conference Record: UNM 1-3, UNLV 1-3. Series Record: New Mexico leads, 10-9.
GAME NOTES: Losers of five in a row and all but one of their games this season, the UNLV Rebels try to put together a solid effort this weekend as they host the New Mexico Lobos in Mountain West Conference action at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Aside from a narrow 38-35 triumph over Air Force now more than a month ago, the Rebels have had little to cheer about in 2012 with eight defeats in nine opportunities. Last weekend UNLV visited San Diego State and bowed to the Aztecs in a 24-13 final at Qualcomm Stadium. The defeat dropped the squad to 0-4 on the road this season and 1-3 in league play.
As for the Lobos, they've already exceeded their entire win total from the last three seasons combined when they went a mere 1-11 in 2009, 2010 and 2011. However, New Mexico has fallen back into bad habits in recent weeks with back- to-back defeats against the likes of Air Force and Fresno State, the latter being a 49-32 setback after the team opened with a 21-0 advantage at home on Saturday.
New Mexico, which is now also 1-3 in conference play, clings to a narrow 10-9 edge in the all-time series, thanks to a 21-14 win in the most recent matchup a season ago.
One of the top runners in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Kasey Carrier posted touchdowns of eight and 30 yards in the first 17 minutes of the meeting with Fresno State, but even that effort wasn't enough to keep the Lobos from suffering a hard-luck loss at home in Albuquerque. Now second in the nation with 138.0 ypg, Carrier finished with a game-high 136 yards on 19 carries, reaching at least 100 yards for the fourth straight game and eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark for the season overall.
Quarterbacks B.R. Holbrook and Quinton McCown combined to hit just 4-of-15 passes for 45 yards and a score, while the rushing attack accounted for 349 yards on 51 attempts.
Clearly the Lobos don't put much effort into crafting a passing attack, which is why the squad ranks last in the FBS with a feeble 54.7 ypg. Obviously there has to be one team bringing up the rear in every stat, but New Mexico seems to be taking this to the extreme as it is one of only two teams with less than 108.0 ypg passing, the other being Army (63.3 ypg) which has been predominantly a running team just like the other service academies.
Producing 302.7 ypg on the ground it good enough for second in the country and it seems to be working for the Lobos for the time being, at least when compared to the last three years.
Out on the road for four of their last five games, the Rebels have to be looking forward to returning home even though they have just a single win there in 2012. Last weekend the team came up with just 13 points in an 11- point loss to San Diego State, even as the team opened with a 64-yard TD run by Tim Cornett less than five minutes into the first quarter. Unfortunately, a failed PAT should have been a sign to the Rebels that not all would go right on the day.
Even with the huge run, Cornett still finished with just 127 net yards which means he gained only 63 yards on his own 18 attempts. Quarterback Nick Sherry converted 17-of-29 passes for 159 yards and a score, but he was also sacked four times. The visitors converted just 2-of-11 on third down and ran 59 offensive plays, compared to 80 for the Aztecs.
With so many starting quarterbacks twisting through the revolving doors at UNLV over the last decade it is hard for the program to gain any real consistency at the position. In a sense, one can't blame Sherry for having completed only 55.2 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, but unfortunately he's probably the one who will catch much of the blame.
Cornett (935 yards, six TDs) and Bradley Randle (423 yards, six TDs) have done what they can to keep the offense moving, but a more pressing matter for the Rebels is getting the defense to play harder. At the moment the group is allowing 213.3 ypg on the ground (103rd nationally) and 34.2 ppg (102nd) and that's no way to put together a successful program.
At some point the Rebels have got to get on track and one would assume that playing at home would give them an edge, but considering the run defense is shaky at best and the Lobos are one of the best rushing teams in the country, the odds still fall with UNM.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: New Mexico 27, UNLV 20

LifeCast Rocksport Premium Key Features
The new Rocksport Premium by LifeCast is a fantastic spa, further enhanced with a more powerful 4 HP pump, dual LED water columns, and 8 points of perimeter LED lighting. Features an ultra-comfortable captain's chair and a fantastic hydrotherapy lounge seat. With room for up to six persons, it's a great hot tub at an unbeatable price. Features 28 stainless steel jets (12 of which are adjustable) plus an ozone water purity treatment system as standard equipment!
Built Strong for Life
LifeCast spas are created by the process of rotational molding. During rotomolding, a heated hollow mold is filled with a powdered super-strong polyethylene polymer. The mold is then biaxially rotated while heating it externally. The high impact polymer softens, uniformly coating the inside of the mold. After cooling the two part mold is opened exposing a unicast spa of amazing strength. In fact, the LifeCast cabinet is so strong it will easily withstand blows from a baseball bat without damage.
Premium Features Included:
(Sorry, not shippable outside the contiguous-48 USA.)
Spas are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, but are not returnable.

Years ago, performance of all sorts (Corvette and otherwise) was gained by "bigger equals better." It was more or less a sledgehammer approach to making things work. The bigger the sledgehammer, the better the Corvette ran. Or so we thought. Today, things are considerably different. Contemporary motorsports is a pretty good example of the "less is more" approach. After all, it's no secret that many forms of motorsports, even cars with restrictions (tires, induction, and so on) are becoming quicker and quicker on an almost daily basis. It's also no secret that in many cases camshaft profiles are shrinking, even in unlimited motorsports applications such as NHRA Pro Stock. Ditto with valve sizes. And right behind are cylinder heads with much smaller port sizes (and equally impressive flow numbers) than we once thought plausible. Case-in-point: Chevy's LS-series of engines. When enthusiasts first saw the new Corvette heads, eyes rolled. Heads (of the human variety) shook. Those itsy-bitsy ports would never work. Or so we thought. The small, raised ports on the LS-series engines move plenty of air. So much so, the less is more approach can be used on other Corvette engines.
A good example of this "smaller is really better" concept is the set of big-block Chevy heads shown in the accompanying photos. These heads are a collaboration between Brodix and Joe Petelle's High Velocity Heads (HVH), and they're easily capable of supporting 700-plus horsepower on pump gas (naturally aspirated). In practice, these heads have typically produced 1.69 hp per cubic inches on pump gas engines, ranging from 434 ci to 509 ci. As sold, this head design is equipped with 2.25-inch intake and 1.88-inch exhaust valves, both using 11/32-inch stems. The ports aren't big. In fact, they're downright tiny when compared to their contemporaries. The key to performance in these heads is the high-velocity design configuration that makes them ideal for both dedicated race cars and dual-duty (race and street) Corvettes.
When you think of port velocity and why it's important, you first have to think about the Bernoulli Principle. Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss scientist from the 18th century, studied the relationship of fluid speed and pressure. When a fluid flows through a narrow constriction, the speed of the fluid increases. A good example is the speed of a river or creek when flowing through narrows. The fluid must speed up in the restricted region if the flow is to be continuous. Bernoulli observed that and wondered how the fluid gained the energy for the additional speed. He reasoned that the energy is acquired at the expense of a lowered internal pressure. His discovery-today referred to as Bernoulli's Principle-states: The pressure in a fluid decreases as the speed of the fluid increases.
Now, Mr. Bernoulli's Principle also applies to moving air. You can test it yourself by holding a sheet of paper in front of your mouth. When you blow across the top surface, the paper rises. This is because the moving air pushes against the top of the paper with less pressure than the air that pushes against the lower surface, which is at rest.
Keeping the Bernoulli Principle in mind, the velocity of a cylinder head port, coupled with impressive flow, is a target all of today's successful head porters shoot for. Some have a better handle on it than others. As an example, check out the flow numbers for the Brodix-HVH oval port big-block Chevy head chart.
It's easy to get big flow numbers with big ports, however, the port volume on the Brodix-HVH head is relatively small by comparison. The CNC-machined ports have an average volume of 301 cc's for the intake runner (keep in mind that a standard big-block Chevy head has slightly different runner sizes in stock form). How small are these ports? According to NHRA Blueprint Specifications, a stock '66 Corvette 425hp, 427 (L72) has an intake volume of 326 and 327 cc's, depending upon the head casting. A stock oval port GM head (for example, a '69 390hp 427) has a volume of 256 cc's.

The state attorney for the 14th Judicial Circuit in Panama City has notified the Florida Bar that he wants punitive action against Tony Henderson, the former chief deputy public defender for the First Judicial Circuit.
In a letter to two Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents that he copied to the Florida Bar, State Attorney Glenn Hess referred to Henderson as "this blight on its membership."
Read a copy of Hess' letter. >>
The letter is the first document made public in connection with an investigation the FDLE conducted into allegations made against Henderson, former First Circuit Public Defender James Owens and Fort Walton Beach attorney and Medal of Honor recipient George "Bud" Day.
David Angier, a spokesman for Hess' office, said Hess had not yet signed off on FDLE reports filed concerning Day and Owens.
The letter basically commends special agents Christopher Rigoni and Jane Schachle, for their work. However, it states that Henderson "has engaged in a pattern of criminal conduct that renders him unfit for public employment."
The conduct "would have subjected him to criminal prosecution had your investigation been conducted prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations," Hess said.
He referred specifically to an FDLE allegation that Henderson had impregnated a teenage girl in 1995.
Hess' letter said Henderson had represented the girl in 1993 as a public defender when she was 14 years old. The letter says Henderson called her at home after hours and began to have sexual relations with her.
"She ultimately gave birth in April 1996, believing that Mr. Henderson is the father," according to the letter.
"He has paid her $800 in monthly installments presumably in child support," the letter states.
The letter also notes the statute of limitations for lewd and lascivious acts upon a minor is three years.
"A prosecution for that conduct is regrettably not now possible," Hess wrote.
Contacted Friday, Henderson answered "no comment" when asked about the letter, whether he knew the girl mentioned in the letter, whether he had gotten her pregnant at age 14 and whether he was paying her child support.
Henderson ran for the First Judicial Circuit's public defender's job against Owens in 2008, and was named chief deputy after Owens won the election. The two had been friends since high school.
Henderson was forced to resign in November 2011 when the FDLE said it was investigating him for sexual harassment as a follow-up to a complaint filed with the Escambia County Sheriff's Office that October.
That complaint was made by the boyfriend of a client of Henderson's. The female client told deputies Henderson had been asking her to "hang out" and "perform sexual favors such as oral sex."
No charges have been filed in the case.
The FDLE investigated Owens and Henderson on more charges of sexual misconduct in 1998 when a woman told Santa Rosa County deputies the two men had sexually battered her.
No charges were filed.
In his letter to the agents, Hess states that in the course of their investigation "you received a wealth of information about other incidents involving sex or drugs." None, it states, "are of a nature to compel a prosecution."
"Fortunately," the letter states, "the citizens of the First Judicial Circuit have repudiated Mr. Henderson and his employer, Tony (sic) Owens, with their votes.
"He remains, however, an embarrassment to the Florida Bar," Hess continued. "By copy of this letter, I am inviting the bar to address this blight on its membership."
Henderson confirmed that he remains "presently licensed as an attorney." He declined to comment on Hess' letter or on the state attorney's effort to have the Florida Bar take action against him.
Owens had not received Hess' letter, which was dated Dec. 18. Asked if he knew of a "pattern of criminal conduct" by Henderson while Henderson worked for him, the outgoing public defender answered "no."
Owens said he had no knowledge of the girl named in Hess' letter and knew nothing of "incidents involving sex and drugs" other than those incidents Henderson has been investigated for.
"I don't know what time period they're talking about," he said.
Day, who has a bar complaint pending against him on an unrelated matter, was investigated by the FDLE alongside Henderson and Owens for allegedly taking the job as Owens' chief deputy in Okaloosa County in 2008 and accepting an $84,000 salary for work he didn't do.
That investigation has concluded but Hess' office has not released its findings.
Day has denied the allegations against him, calling them politically motivated.
Owens said he has cooperated fully with the FDLE during its investigation of his office.
Incoming Public Defender Bruce Miller, who defeated Owens in last August's election, declined comment on the letter until he had the opportunity to see it.

text: It can happen. Ryback gets something that most of the new talent just don't get from the fans: a reaction. Plain and simple, he's a monster. He's supposed to be a monster and he's playing his role pretty damn well. His explosive moveset and catchphrase really get him over. Ever since the crowds started getting behind him, his momentum has yet to die no matter where he is, who he's feuding with or if he loses. In fact, it might happen as soon as Cena retires and Ryback is still around. Although, taking his age into account, he might only be a quick fix to the hole Cena left behind until a new star takes the reins. But hey, anything's possible in the wrestling business so you never know.

New model from HiTechnic
It looks quick and I'm sure would be a blast to play with. Also a nice bonus that it can be built with both the 1.0 and 2.0 NXT sets :)
I Love how they get around not needing a differential (you'll have to watch the video to find out!)

**CORRECTION** The car uses the IR-Receiver, not the IR-Link as I had originally stated. My fault for writing this post late at night!

"These wheels make it go faster."
Do they mean the 1.0 or 2.0 wheels. I would think the 1.0 wheels because of their larger radius, but I suppose the 2.0 wheels might have a smaller mass, which would result in higher acceleration. Either way, I imagine the result isn't exactly noticeable unless they're side by side.

The larger 1.0 wheels make the gocart a bit faster. The slight weight difference in the 2.0 wheel size doesn't offer much of an acceleration advantage.
How about popping on some larger RCX bicycle wheels?

Damien : It should be the IRreceiver sensor. ;-)
In theory the IRlink should be able to receive, only that function is not supported, if I remember that correct.

Hitechnic has made some excellent models with building instructions and programs.
One minor correction to your blog entry: the Hitechnic IR Kart uses the NXT IR Receiver sensor, and not the IR Link sensor.

Whoops, My mistake :)
I've corrected it to show that it uses the IR-Receiver, not the IR-Link.
Thanks for the correction everyone!

Hm... Infrared communication with a fast moving object.
I wonder how reliable that is - do you loose the contact at times when the IR receiver wanders out of direct line of sight with the IR control?

There is a significant redundancy in the LEGO PF signal. The LEGO PF remote sends every PF IR command five times at intervals depending on the PF channel so that multiple PF remotes can be used at the same time with reasonable expectation that at least one complete command can be received for each channel from each remote. Range of the IR RC Kart is obviously line of sight and probably around 4 or 5 meters depending on lighting, IR interference etc. Using the LEGO #8885 remote it is actually quite responsive.

Your strategic plan will only be as strong as the initial assessment, analysis, and engagement. Following are several steps for conducting successful strategic assessment and planning:

Belize e850L Lounger Spa
Get Low Monthly Payments
Belize e850L Key Features
Engineered for maximum energy efficiency, the spacious 440 gallon Belize e850L eSeries hot tub is the most luxurious and feature rich spa we've ever offered. Seats 6 persons, with a supremely comfortable ergonomic non-float lounger. Features 120 jets powered by dual 6 HP pumps for total hydrotherapy massage from neck to toes, plus a delightful waterfall, 3 pillows, insulated hard cover, and stunningly beautiful carefree paneling for lasting good looks. A superior water filtration system, and included high capacity ozonator assure delightfully soothing, crystal clear water. All this in a low maintenance, premium quality package built for enjoyment.
Belize eSeries Green Technology Saves Energy
As shown above, Belize eSeries spas utilize a total insulation concept which creates a dead air space similar to that found in today's best-insulated homes. The spa equipment is oriented so that any heat generated is recycled, keeping the spa water warm. You'll save money because heat and electricity are conserved.
Built Strong for Durability
Our spa shell construction is not only beautiful, it's also super strong. First, our stunningly attractive acrylic shell is bonded with ABS backing for impact resistance. Then the shell is further reinforced with TSE-EcoSpray®, an environmentally friendly hard resin coating which adds incredible strength. Finally, steel reinforcement is embedded in high traffic areas. No other hot tub brand in the world has better, stronger, more durable, or more energy efficient construction.
Quiet Comfort
It's a lot easier to unwind and relax in a hot tub that operates quietly. Belize eSeries hot tubs are carefully designed to eliminate noise. The jets, pumps and other mechanical components used are engineered for sound and vibration isolation, for the quietest operation possible.
Eco-Friendly Water Purification Systems
No matter how well built or how outstanding its hydrotherapy, any hot tub spa is only as good as its water purification and sanitizing capabilities. Belize eSeries spas feature a highly effective Antimicrobial filter and surface skimmer system, plus an advanced ozonator to promote crystal clear water. The high-output Del CD ozone purification system uses only a fraction of the power of other units-- a nice advantage. Together with the included odor-free Cleanwater Blue mineral purifier kit, you're assured of soothing, sparkling clean water, without the maintenance hassles or harshness of bromine or chlorine.
Add the optional EcoCirc Continuous Filtration System upgrade for the ultimate in water purification. Since these advanced features require less upkeep, your total cost of ownership is lower over time.
Personalize your Spa with Light & Sound
Bathe yourself in soothing colored light by upgrading the standard 3.5" white light to the larger color 5" LED light. For the ultimate experience, our Deluxe Lighting Package adds a stunning array of lights around the spa interior, plus 4-corner cabinet sconce lighting which illuminates the perimeter walkway. Features beautifully illuminated jets, and even headrest LEDs (for models equipped with headrests). You'll enjoy the multiple colors and light functions, including a delightful color-shifting mode.
The eStream system from Belize Spas includes a built-in, waterproof, flush mounted media player housing to keep your device protected. It also includes a standard 3.5mm audio cable for connection of non-Bluetooth devices,
Built-to-Order in your choice of great Shell, Cabinet, and Cover Colors

I have a 2003 Bullfrog spa. I replaced the heater element. Now I get a dr code. The pump is pumping well I have removed the filter but still no luck. I read that there can be an air lock but can't find how to fix. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you just slightly loosen the pump union nut just enough to allow water to trickle out for a little bit it will release any air that could be trapped in the pump. Then tighten back up and run to see if it improves.

Ever since enthusiasts started bolting chrome reverse wheels on old jalopies and '50s hot rods, custom wheels have been mainstays on performance cars and street machines. Few modifications tell the cruise night crowd that your car is a hot rod as quickly as updated rolling stock, and no modification is more universal. Whether you drive a '69 Camaro, '65 Nova, '57 Bel Air or '00 Camaro, a set of custom wheels and performance tires are destined to make it stand out.
These days the custom tire and wheel market is larger than ever, which means enthusiasts have a lot more research to do when choosing the right rollers for their rides. With wheels, you have to consider diameter, width, backspacing, and offset, all of which will affect fit and performance. And then there's the ever-important style factor. Do you want the factory-performance look of a rally wheel, the racing influence of lightweight aluminum or the contemporary look of billet?
In a similar vein, today's performance tires come in a wider variety than ever before. While many still offer a balance of everyday comfort and handling performance, several new offerings are designed for all-out cornering control, handling performance, run-flat ability, or straight-line traction. There are also some visual considerations to think about. Do you want a tall or short sidewall? Raised white letters or black sidewalls? Rim protectors or no rim protectors?
Regardless of the look and performance you're after, it's probably available from one or more of today's tire and wheel manufacturers. To keep you abreast of some of the latest creations in this realm, we've put together a guide to some of the standout offerings in the top wheel and tire lines. Take a peek and see if you can find the combination of performance and appearance you've been looking for.
American Racing
American Racing's Torq-Thrust D wheel is one of the all-time classic wheel designs, and the two-piece, fully polished Torq Thrust II has picked up where the original version left off. A variety of sizes ranging from 14- to 20-inch diameters are available between the two Torq-Thrust styles. Another American classic that has recently been revived is the 200S, also known as the "daisy" to many enthusiasts. It's available in sizes from 15- to 17-inch diameters. American Racing: 19067 S. Reyes Ave., Dept. SC, Rancho Dominguez, CA 90221; (310) 635-7806; www.americanracing.com.
B. Coddington
Nearly every hot rodder associates the name Boyd Coddington with cutting-edge street rods, so it should come as no surprise that B. Coddington wheels are top-quality rollers. The Signature Series billet wheel line, which includes the Evolution design shown, continues the Coddington tradition of quality and style. The wheels are built using state-of-the-art CNC machines before being polished to a high-luster finish. They come in sizes ranging from 14x6 to 20x9.5 inches. B. Coddington: Anaheim, CA, Dept. SC; (888) 254-3400; www.boydcoddington.com.
Billet Specialties
When your company is named Billet Specialties, custom-whittled aluminum wheels come with the territory. The wheel designers at Billet Specialties have a knack for creating contemporary designs that don't look "trendy," as evidenced by the clean Octane and Talladega designs shown. The Octane is an exposed-lug, five-spoke design that just looks like a hot rod wheel. The Talladega is similar in theme, but more ornate with its ribbed spokes split by raised ribs. Both come highly polished and are available in 15-, 17-, 18- and 20-inch sizes with your choice of backspacing. Billet Specialties: 340 Shore Dr., Dept. SC, Burr Ridge, IL 60521; (800) 245-5382; www.billetspecialties.com.

Comments, questions and tips
Made these with my 3 year old today and they are lovely! Made as per recipe except made them dairy and egg free as my daughter is allergic replaced butter with 75g vitalite and 25g coconut oil and replaced the egg with 1tbs chia seeds with 3 tbs water. I would have used ground flaxseed but have run out.
Have just made these cookies and was surprised how lovely and moist they were, maybe because I put two rather ripe bananas in rather than just the 50g as the recipe says, hate food going to waste so took the risk and it paid off, I also used the zest of a whole orange will try lemon next time for extra zing, I flattened my biscuits but will flatten more next time as they don't spread at all , I also found they took longer to cook but that may be my oven, will certainly do again using different ingredients.

Actually, in Freepfjrt, Superintendent Donald Cost low (old THE LEADER, there have been only two cases reported between Seplember. 1973 and this dale. A faculty meeting held on Monday, March 25, fully explained Ihe law and its implementation Jn the School District per.s<jnnel. Costlow explained that the purpose of the meeting was lo insure a consistency throughout the district in following the formal procedures, Chai-les Langdon, of the Children's Bureau of Nassau County Social Services, reported that the majority of the cases in Nassau County have involved white children. ' ' The Child Protective Act of 1973 requires teachers, among others, lo report all suspected cases of child abuse or maltreatment. Failure to report such cases carries a fine of 11,000 and one year in prison. The District's guidelines call for the immediate reporting lo the school principal, by members of the school staff, any case of child abuse involving a "reasonable cause" for suspicion. Before the close of that school day, the principal, after conferring with the appropriate staff members, will determine whether child abuse has taken place. The school nurse may request an ' immediate examination by the school physician and X-Rays or photographs may be taken, •without parental consent, to provide dorcumentalion.

The Wilson College Athletic department will receive a $1,999 Student-Athlete Affairs Grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 2011-12 academic year.
The Wilson College Athletic department will receive a $1,999 Student-Athlete Affairs Grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 2011-12 academic year. The grant awards up to $2,000 to NCAA member institutions and conference offices to fund student-athlete development and health and safety related programming for student-athletes and athletics personnel. This programming can be done through the use of speakers, campus partnerships, workshops or other parties that can effectively share a message with student-athletes.
The Athletic department has decided to utilize the grant to fund the use of myPlaybook for Wilson's student-athletes. myPlaybook is an interactive web based learning program designed to prevent alcohol and other drug-related harm among college student-athletes. The program consists of six lessons emphasizing different topics, such as NCAA banned substances, alcohol and tobacco use, performance enhancing drugs/dietary supplements, and prescription/over-the-counter drug use. Through use of the program, athletes will learn the effects of these various substances on their athletic performance, training, recovery from injury, and overall health. myPlaybook also allows freedom for student-athletes to complete the program any time or place with Internet access and the ability to track the student-athlete's progress throughout the program.
For Wilson, myPlaybook will serve as a tool to help the staff educate student-athletes in various areas. According to Athletic Trainer, Tracy Randall-Loose, "myPlaybook will be a fantastic resource to help us explain NCAA drug testing polices/procedures and banned substances to our athletes, as well as help us be proactive in preventing future substance use."

Iowa National Guard soldiers are preparing to head to Afghanistan later this year.
Soldiers get a rush of adrenaline as they fire at enemy targets using a Howitzer.
"It's a great feeling. The boom. The smell. Every little intangible you have is right there," said Sgt. Brandon Bumham.
Each 50 pound shell costs at least $2,500. Soldiers rarely get the chance to practice with live ammunition.
"The round goes off right by my head."
"The large net draped over the gun helps camouflage it from the outside and also helps disrupt enemy radar," said Sgt. James Johnson.
Before anyone pulls the launch lever, the entire team checks all the equipment and makes sure everything's on target.
"A couple inches down here makes a huge difference down range," said Johnson.
But, the guys with the gun don't decide when or where to fire. Not too far away, these soldiers line up the coordinates for the troops out in the field both by hand and with the help of electronics. Sometimes those numbers don't match.
"It happens on occasion. When that happens, we don't send that down, obviously," said Spc. Chancy Chipman.
Computer software can take other factors like weather into account. Too much rain or wind could send a round off course.
"It's a crazy job to have. It's a lot of work, but when you're out there rockin' and rollin', it's a really good time," said Burnham.
Anyone standing near the explosive shell can feel the power of the gun when it goes off. Trust me, I know first-hand. As the soldiers told me, it's going to be a bad day for enemies on the other end of the barrel.

Delusioned people thinking that a 15 year sentence is a decent amount for burning and selling a few movies.....
I hope if a cop see's any of you spit on the ground, you get jailed for 1 year... because that is basically how stupid this is.
Drug dealers, murderers, rapist, and worst have received lighter sentences than this.
But, you can tell how bad this country is getting, when people will agree with this kind of ruling. Total lack of compassion for humanity and life.
And the whole " he did it before " speil isn't worth takign 15 years away from someone's life. He didn't harm anyone in his recent actions, other than some wealthy C.E.O's... of course, in America, that is the worst type of crime... Crime against a rich white man by a poor man.

For perspective, this guy got SEVENTY FIVE percent of the sentence that Anders Behring Breivik received for killing 77 people in Norway last year.
The punishment don't fit the crime

Jan Martense Schenck House
The Jan Martense Schenck House represents the oldest architecture in the Museum's period room collection. It is also the most complex of the period rooms in terms of reconstruction and interpretation. The house originally stood in the town of Flatlands, one of six rural towns that were to become the borough of Brooklyn. Established under the Dutch colony of New Netherlands, which became the English colony of New York in 1664, Flatlands was first called New Amersfoort, after Amersfoort in the Netherlands. The area was originally inhabited by the Carnarsie Indians.
The house is a simple two-room structure with a central chimney. Its framework is composed of a dozen heavy so-called H-bents, visible on the interior of the house, that resemble goal posts with diagonal braces. This is an ancient northern European method of construction that contrasts with the boxlike house frames that evolved in England. The house had a high-pitched roof that created a large loft for storage. The roof was covered with shingles, and the exterior walls were clad with horizontal wood clapboard siding. A section of the clapboard has been removed at one corner to expose a reconstruction of the brick nogging used as insulation. The interior walls were stuccoed between the upright supports of the H-bents.
A kitchen was added at a right angle to the house probably in the late 1790s. In the early nineteenth century a porch with four columns was also added. Finally, sometime about 1900, dormer windows were installed above the porch. The interior of the house was also changed. The large central chimney was removed, probably about the same time as the kitchen wing was added, and new chimneys and fireplaces were built on the outer walls. Old photographs of the interior of the house on site in Flatlands show it with early twentieth century wallpapers and an assortment of nineteenth-century furniture, all of which was discarded when the house came to the Museum.
Changes Over Time
During the 275 years that the house stood in its original location, it underwent many changes to accommodate the needs and tastes of new generations. The Museum's curators might have chosen to exhibit and interpret the house to any point in its long history, but they wanted to add an early Dutch colonial house to the series of existing period rooms, thereby chronologically pushing back the survey of American interiors. This necessitated stripping away later additions and changes, such as the kitchen wing and porch, to rediscover the original two-room structure. The present reconstruction is based on careful analysis of surviving original elements and other surviving Dutch colonial houses. About 1730, when Martin Schenck, Jan's eldest son, owned the house, it underwent several changes to accommodate his growing family. For a long period after about 1730, the two-room core of the house changed very little, and therefore the curators chose this moment in the early eighteenth century to which to interpret the house.
Of course, many conjectural decisions were made, such as the precise locations of the exterior doors and the size and locations of the windows. On the interior, the location of the staircase to the loft and the form of the large open hearths and built-in bed box also involved conjecture, but were based on historical precedent. In the original Museum installation, there were two bed boxes on the exterior wall of the north room. When the house was moved to its present location in 2006, it was decided that if the house did have a bed box it more logically was on an interior wall next to the hearth as you now see it.
None of the original Dutch colonial furniture owned by the Schencks is known to have survived. The curators have assembled the interior-decorating scheme utilizing objects from the collection to typify an interior of a prosperous family of Dutch descent living in colonial English Flatlands. There are, therefore, both Dutch and English objects and furniture.
The curators use many clues to assemble an accurate interior. Wills and inventories of possessions of families of a similar economic level inform us about what might be found in a similar household. Period paintings help answer questions concerning the disposition of furniture about the room, possible color schemes, and the sort of textiles that might have been used. Through paintings, for example, we learn that mid-Eastern carpets were too valuable to place on the floor but rather were displayed on tabletops and then in turn covered with white linen cloths during meals.
For many years the house was painted gray. Recent analysis of the exterior paint layers on the original clapboard surviving in the corner at the short end of the building revealed that the house was originally white and then red. Since the interior of the house is interpreted to the first decades of the eighteenth century, we decided that the house might have received its second coat of paint, the red layer, by that time.
Clapboard Siding
If you look carefully, you will notice that some of the horizontal clapboards on the end at the house have a rough surface and others seem smooth. The rough boards are the part of the original siding applied to the house in 1675–77 that were salvaged when the house was dismantled in 1952.
Brick Nogging
Part of the exterior clapboard siding has been removed here to show a reconstruction of the brick nogging originally used to insulate the house.
The Schenck Family in History
Henry Hudson, sailing for the Dutch, explores the east coast of North America, looking for a passage to Asia. He trades with indigenous peoples such as the Canarsie.
The Dutch West India Company is established to trade in West Africa and the Americas.
The Dutch establish the town of New Amsterdam on the island of Manna-hata (Manhattan), as part of the colony of New Netherland.
The western Long Island village of Breuckelen, named for a town in the Netherlands, is founded. It will eventually join with five other towns— Bushwick, Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend, and New Utrecht—to become the borough of Brooklyn.
The ten-year-old Dutch boy Jan Martense Schenck arrives in New Amsterdam with his brother Roeloff and is sister Anetje.
The Dutch relinquish the colony of New Netherland to the English, and New Amsterdam becomes New York.
Early 1670s
Jan Martense Schenck marries Jannetje van Voorhees. Surviving children born between 1673 and 1685 include Jannetjie, Martin, Willemtjie, Neeltjie, and Stephen.
Jan Martense Schenck purchases Mill Island (now known as Mill Basin) in the town of Flatlands, along with a half share in the island's tidal gristmill. He builds a house there by 1677.
Jan Martense Schenck dies and leaves his house, mill, and farm to his son Martin. His son Stephen inherits a parcel of land nearby in an area now known as Canarsie.
Around 1730
Martin Schenck renovates his father's house, living there with his wife, Cornelia van Wesselen, and his son, John.
Stephen Schenck dies and leaves his parcel of land in Canarsie to his son Nicholas.
Nicholas Schenck (Jan Martense Schenck's grandson) builds a house in Canarsie. His first wife, Willemtje Wyckoff, dies in 1779; his second wife is named Jane. The Schenck children include Nicholas, Jr.; John; Anna; Adriana; Nelly; and a fourth daughter.
The Battle of Long Island, the largest battle in the American Revolution (1775–83), is fought in Brooklyn. Regimental orders from 1781 document Captain Nicholas Schenck's leadership of local militia.
Great Britain recognizes the independence of the United States.
Census records show twelve people in Nicholas Schenck's household, including two enslaved Africans.
Circa 1810
Nicholas Schenck, Jr. (Jan Martense Schenck's greatgrandson) inherits his father's house, remodels it, and lives there with his wife, Alletta Remsen, and their children, Jane, Abraham, Stephen, James, and Anthony. The household includes two servants, one of whom is an enslaved ten-yearold African American child named Peter.
Jane Schenck, Nicholas Schenck, Jr.'s, daughter and Jan Martense Schenck's great-great granddaughter, tells in her journal of a British ship chasing an American ship off a nearby beach during the War of 1812.
Following the opening of the Erie Canal, New York is poised for tremendous growth. The population of the six towns that will eventually join to become the borough of Brooklyn is still primarily of Dutch and English descent. There are also people of other European backgrounds and a sizeable number of enslaved and free Africans.
Who Lived in This House?
According to Schenck family tradition, Jan Martense Schenck, the man who built this house, arrived in New Netherland in 1650. He is first documented in Flatlands in 1660. On December 29, 1675, he purchased the land on which he built the house, along with a half interest in a nearby gristmill. The house was probably in place by 1675.
The Schenck family owned the house for three generations, finally selling it in 1784. Beginning in the 1920s, as real-estate development increased, a number of preservation plans that might have maintained the house on site were put forward but were never realized. Finally in 1952, the Brooklyn Museum made a commitment to save the house, dismantled it, and stored it for about ten years until plans to install it in the Museum were finalized. The house was opened to the public in 1964.
Who Were the Schencks' Neighbors?
Dutch efforts to establish the colony of New Netherland brought significant population change to the area we today call Brooklyn. When the Dutch arrived in the early 1600s, the area was inhabited by the Canarsie, one of thirteen Algonquin tribes. The Canarsie had resided here for thousands of years and called the area where Jan Martense Schenck settled Keskateuw.
Between the 1630s and the 1680s, conflict and disease decimated the local Canarsie population, and after trading their land to the Dutch, only a few remained. By the time Jan Martense Schenck built his house, the area that is now Brooklyn was populated mostly by Europeans, the majority of whom were Dutch, with significant numbers of English and smaller numbers of people of other European backgrounds, including Italians (see the tea set displayed nearby). The Dutch had also begun importing enslaved Africans to New Netherland in the 1620s, and by 1698 approximately fifteen percent of the population of what is now Brooklyn was of African descent, nearly all of them enslaved.
Glass in the Seventeenth Century
In the seventeenth century, glass was still a luxury and was owned only by the well-to-do. Although Venice was the center of glassmaking, other regions developed sophisticated glass centers as well, especially northern Germany, Bohemia, Silesia, and the Netherlands. The drinking vessel to the far left illustrates the flamboyant style popular in the midseventeenth century. Although probably made in the Netherlands, it is termed "façon de Venise," "in the Venetian style," and suggests the pervasive influence of Italian taste and design. Most of the glass at this time was tinted green or brown and reflects impurities that prevented glassmakers from achieving the ideal of colorless glass. The green decanter with elaborate hand-painted decoration also is typical of glass of this period and the taste for dense, curvilinear floral motives. The large drinking vessel to the right is
called a roemer, or "rummer," and is a typical form found in northern Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The large size of this vessel suggests that it was used communally and passed about the table. There is a selection of smaller, individual roemers inside the Jan Martense Schenck house.
In the last quarter of the seventeenth century, an English glassmaker and merchant named George Ravenscroft (1632–1683) invented and patented a new formula for entirely colorless glass. The large covered goblet seen here is typical of his first efforts with the new formula but still exhibits the elaborate silhouette of the Venetian style. The smaller drinking vessels illustrate the new, simpler style of glass in the last quarter of the seventeenth century. With simple V-shaped cups, sturdy stems, and pronounced knops, or spherical ornaments, the glassware is simple in design and strikingly modern in appearance. It also finds parallels in the bold turnings seen on many of the chairs of the same period displayed in this gallery.
Silver and Ceramics in the Seventeenth Century
In the seventeenth century, many of the media that we take for granted, such as silver and ceramics, had very different social and economic meanings than they have today. Others, such as pewter, that are rarely used today were far more common. Pewter was, in fact, the most common material for many objects of daily use; the Schencks probably ate off pewter plates. You will notice many other everyday pewter objects in the Jan Martence Schenck House.
Silver objects, owned in quantity only by the well-todo, had importance beyond their usefulness and beauty; since they were made of the same material as money, they also provided a means of storing and displaying wealth. The silver spoon and salt displayed here were made entirely by hand. During the Industrial Revolution, not only did silver become a more available natural resource, and therefore less valuable, but advances in manufacturing made it less expensive and available to a wider audience as well. For example, the decorative band on the silver teapot was made by machine and more easily reproduced than the hand-hammered, or repousée, work on the salt.
The secret of porcelain making was unknown to Europeans until it was deciphered in the Meissen factory, in Germany, about 1709. Before then, porcelain objects were either imported from Asia or made of soft-paste porcelain, an imitative formula composed mostly of white clay and ground glass. The small teapot is a rare and early example of English soft-paste porcelain. The diminutive size of the pot also suggests the exclusivity of tea consumption at that time. Compare it with the larger earthenware, machine-produced teapot made about seventy-five years later.

Organized Street Legal Drag Racing has a profound way of pushing racers thanks to an ever-tightening rulebook and even tougher competitors. It is through those two groups of people that CHP arrived at its latest engine building adventure-a 598ci engine by Pettis Performance. CHP Editor Henry De Los Santos and his longtime racing partner Artis Houston conceived the project as Artis' '71 Nova was falling a step behind in the tough PSCA Wild Street category. This isn't the first collaboration between the two speed freaks; Henry stuffed a different 598 in the Nova back in '06. From there they had refined the nitrous-gulping big-block and the Nova eventually dipped into the 7s with a 7.90 at 176 mph on a set of 275 drag radials.
The rank's competitiveness motivated Henry to go back to the drawing board- along with Pettis Performance and Artis-to develop a 598ci powerplant using what the team had learned with its previous engine and the 540ci bullet before then. On the Outlaw scene, the turbos and superchargers run unrestricted and pretty much dominate many of the popular classes. However, in organized Street Legal drag racing sanctioning bodies-like the NMCA, WCHRA, and PSCA- the power adders are restricted and the tech officials attempt to keep the playing field level between the nitrous, blower, and turbo combinations.
The Wild Street rules offer various weight breaks for nitrous-enhanced big-block engines. While the rules tend to change; at the time, the California-based racers opted to stay with the 598-cid, where the Nova could run at a minimum of 3,325 pounds. If a smaller displacement (up to 550ci) was utilized, the car could have run the scales at 3,175-pounds. Adding a sheetmetal intake, like on this engine, carried an additional 50-pound penalty, and if you ran anything but conventional heads with plus or minus 3 degree valve angle, they would have to add another 50 pounds. Instead, they decided take advantage of the weight break and stick with a conventional set of heads, namely the Edelbrock Victor 24-degree units. Keep in mind that this sounds great in theory; however, it wasn't until recently that they were able to make use of these weight breaks and go from well over 3,400 pounds to 3,330 with the addition of a one-piece front clip and Lexan windows.
Still, don't let the conventional heads and mild cubes (for today's racing standards anyway) fool ya; this engine is capable of serious power. Without getting too far ahead of ourselves; this engine made over 1,100 hp-without the Induction Solutions (Steve Johnson) three-stage nitrous system turned on. It's a lot of power for the faint of heart but a great starting point in the Wild Street game. Since '06, the class record has jumped down to a 7.66 at 184 mph, which was recorded by Chris Groves in his ProCharger-powered Mustang LX coupe. "We also went with the bigger motor to keep up with the blower and turbo combinations," commented Henry and one look at the event results shows the blower and turbo combos are flat-out flying.

In May, the American Le Mans Series journeyed west to Utah and the recently opened Miller Motorsports Park. Built near Salt Lake City by auto-dealership magnate Larry Miller, the facility serves as a testament to Miller's professional success, as well his desire to bring high-level professional motorsports to the Beehive State. At a build cost of $150 million, MMP has all the elements of an elite racing venue. The grandstands are first-rate, the garage facilities are some of the best in the business, and the 4.5-mile, 23-turn track is both interesting and challenging.
By the time of the Utah race, the Corvette Racing program had accepted its role as sole entrant in the GT1 class and turned much of its attention to preparing for Le Mans. The practice sessions for the weekend's race were thus designed with two goals in mind. The first was to give the team, the drivers, and the engineers an opportunity to set up for the race at MMP. The second goal centered around testing set-ups for the French 24-hour in June. The Utah track offers many of the same challenges as the Le Sarthe circuit, with a fairly flat layout consisting of long straights interspersed with right-angled corners and sweeping turns.
MMP is situated in a dry, desolate area with little vegetation to hold the soil. While dust on the track is a common hazard, this condition was exacerbated during the ALMS race by a major dust storm that occurred during the previous week. In addition to degrading surface adhesion, the fine, powdery particulate posed a potential threat to sensitive mechanical and electronic equipment.
Prior to race day, the No. 4 C6.R crew participated in the first elimination round of the Klein Tools Pit Stop Challenge. (The No. 3 car was scheduled to compete later in the season.) Although the Corvette team suffered a slow time due to a restart problem, the remaining three cars in the day's competition had their own share of difficulties and penalties as well. The result was that the Corvette team won Second Place in the Challenge, despite a less-than-satisfactory showing.
Even the normally low-pressure qualifying session brought a hint of drama. Oliver Gavin set the GT1 pole time on his first lap, but spun the car on the second, flat-spotting all four tires. Unfortunately, ALMS rules allow only two tires to be changed between qualifying and the start of the race. Swapping out the full set-as the No. 4 team was forced to do-automatically sends the car to the back of the starting grid.
The race itself held great battles among the LMP1, LMP2, and GT2 classes, but with no competition except themselves, the Corvettes only needed to finish the race to take First and Second in GT1. Accordingly, the team organized its race-day schedule to include exercises designed specifically for Le Mans. Team engineers planned tire testing with Michelin, evaluated fuel economy, and continued to monitor the recently installed air-conditioning systems.
From his starting point at the back of the pack, Gavin swept through the field in a few quick laps and soon found himself right behind Jan Magnussen in No. 3. After a series of pit stops, the No. 4 car landed in front of its stablemate, a position it would hold throughout the remainder of the race.
The One-Two finish at MMP was but the latest in a long string of successes for the Corvette Racing team. The cars completed the race in fine shape, and team engineers were given a fresh set of data to pore over before traveling to France for the 24-hour enduro. With 15 entrants-including six Aston Martins, two other Corvettes, and two Saleens-expected in the GT1 category, Le Mans '07 was shaping up to be a real test for the C6.R contingent.
