This week, New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. announced that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has included a $37.2 million expenditure as a part of an amendment to its five-year capital plan to allow for the purchase of smaller diesel trains for the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The move could pave the way for an East End Shuttle Service transportation plan for the East End, long supported by the Five Towns Rural Transit, Inc.
According to Thiele, in 2009, the MTA included this proposal in its capital plan, but did not identify actual funding for the final three years of the plan. The proposed amendment to the capital plan now funds the entire proposal including the light rail diesel trains.
Governor Cuomo's proposed 2012 State Budget provides the first installment of funding for the MTA Capital Plan.
The new trains, known as "diesel multiple units" have smaller engines, are lighter, more cost effective, and will travel shorter distances, said Thiele on Monday. The proposed expenditure will permit the LIRR to purchase five of the new trains, which come in sets of two cars. When ridership is heavier, another pair of cars can be attached.
According to the LIRR the new trains could "increase frequency of service, increase reliability, and promote intra-island commuting. The new diesels will be ideal to provide additional service in the non-electrified areas of the LIRR east of Ronkonkoma," according to Thiele's office.
The LIRR plans to identify an "off the shelf" model for purchase. If the first fleet of shuttles is successful, the LIRR could purchase more in future years.
"President Helena Williams and MTA Board member Mitch Pally are to be commended for refocusing the plans of the LIRR to include the needs of the under-served East End," said Thiele in a press release issued on Monday. "With the approval of the shuttle trains and the partial repeal of the MTA payroll tax, we have taken steps to increase service while at the same time reducing the unfair financial burden of the payroll tax."
"The East End has clamored for increased service through the implementation of an integrated rail and bus shuttle service for the East End including the state-funded Volpe Study, which demonstrated the viability of shuttle trains," the release continued. "The shuttle was also proven viable when the LIRR provided a successful pilot project during the reconstruction of CR 39. The next step is the purchase of new, lighter, cost-effective shuttle diesels. We are closer than ever to increasing public transportation opportunities for East End residents.'"
"Finally, this new service will mean jobs for the East End tourist and second home industry. Transportation alternatives that make it easier to get here and easier to move from hamlet to hamlet will foster the growth of our local economy."

A new computer virus has shown up in mid-Missouri. The FBI Moneypak Virus has been reported on one computer in Mexico and several in Jefferson City in the past week. The virus locks up your computer by displaying a screen saying your system has been locked down because of illegal activity. It demands a payment of $100 or $200 to remove the lock. Police agencies are advising this is a scam and the FBI cannot levy fines. To protect yourself and remove threats that may be on your system already, search for fixes to the FBI Moneypak Virus on your search engine and follow the instructions. Police say paying the money will not fix your computer.

CARBON nanotubes have been used to smuggle HIV-blocking molecules into human cells.
Small interfering RNA molecules (siRNA) had been suggested as an HIV treatment, because they destroy messenger RNA, which is used to make the cell-surface proteins HIV needs to infect immune cells called T-cells.
The hard part is getting siRNA into T-cells. Now Hongjie Dai and colleagues at Stanford University in California have attached siRNA to carbon nanotubes, which penetrate T-cell membranes and deposit the siRNA inside the cells.
When siRNA-laden nanotubes were added to human T-cells, they blocked between 60 and 80 per cent of HIV receptor protein expression (Angewandte Chemie, DOI: 10.1002/anie.200604295).

Maneuvers of US-S. Korean Warmongers Denounced
| Pyongyang, November 26 (KCNA) -- The British Branch of the Korean Friendship Association released a statement on November 18 denouncing the U.S. and south Korean warlike forces for the provocative war maneuvers codenamed Hoguk.
The statement noted that the above-said saber-rattling would be participated in by at least 70,000 U.S. forces and south Korean puppet troops and other forces.
It continued:
This is a version of various forms of exercises for a war of aggression including the Team Spirit joint military exercises which had been staged in south Korea for a long period to threaten peace on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world and part of the anti-DPRK moves that have persisted so far under the pretext of the "Cheonan" case.
The war exercises clearly indicate that the U.S. is pursuing an aim to stifle socialist Korea of Juche by force.
These maneuvers for aggression go to prove that the U.S. is not sincerely interested in the detente on the Korean Peninsula.
We demand the U.S. and south Korean warlike forces cancel at once the military exercises.
We call on the world peace-loving people to launch a campaign against the above-said saber-rattling.

Zapp-I missed the 'Draft' day on my fantasy baseball league so I was 12th out of 12 for a week -i have made 128 moves [12] is the second most -but i am now in 2nd place . I loves to trade and waive .
We could also possibly send Jimmy Kennedy to you instead of Dallas Herbst.
I was hoping to keep it a little less drastic, and possibly working Gold into the mix. Something like I'll send off Palmer and LeBlanc to Gold and Reader to you. Gold sends you Herbst and Steve Brown. You send Metcalf to me. So, you would get Reader, Herbst, and Brown while sending off Metcalf. Gold would get Lance Palmer and Joe LeBlanc. I would get Metcalf.
Zapp-I knew you would answer and to get what I have invested in Mr.Metcalf would involve a multi-player deal-it would involve up to 4-5 wrestlers . I would give you qual;ity and you would give -it just wouldn't be a one or two wrestler deal -my first thoughts -I send you Metcalf ,Brown, Heinrich,Halsey and Wise -for Palmer ,Reader ,Borschell,Todd and Dudziak. I am unsure of seeds but these guys I am sending you are ranked 1,10,7,7,8.
you do not have that one or two definite champion so i had to put this package together .
I have a Dr.s appt in 20 minutes so I'll be back on later .
Thanks ,
I wouldn't know how to text message if my life depended on it . There is another case where I was offered literally anyone but I do |N|OT work like that .
I sent him a text message and cleared it up. He's putting Jeff James as his flex.
I swear I do not mean to make your life complicated -just Rd posted his line up and is using Dwyer as his flex after agreeing to our trade -Hamrah and stewart for dwyer and Porter .-I have tried to contact him and I am sure this is unintentional but I have the PM where he ok'ed the deal .
Any suggestions -and as far as your being ''Tyrannical''-had that been the case I would have quit along time ago-we may not agree on everything -but who does ? f I haven't heard from RD in a day or two we'll just negate the deal -I told you it was not that big -I moved up 4 spots at 165 and down 15 or more in the other portion .
Well, if there's anything I can offer you, let me know. Look at my roster. If you're done trading, that's cool, too.
I ran one suggestion through gold and he said the deal would be good for me and you but not him -I would go from the only 99.999999% sure champion to a #11 ranked 149 and he won't come off Sponsellor -as you may recall I gave up 3 AAs to get him and Halsey -I traded Kennedy ,Poeta ,Brown ,Herbst and Honeycutt -for Metcalf ,Hall and Halsey -Brenner may be a flex when the seeds come out Hamrah was the Acc champion but ....Gold negated the deal i offered and I am glad after watching Poeta go through a lame field at the big 10's -he won't place in the top 3 . Rd offered me O'conner ,Pucillo and Varner -not a champion in the bunch .
Re: Metcalf three way trade, it all depends on what you and Gold are looking for. I assume Lance Palmer would be involved, but I don't know who else you guys are looking for.
Zapp-The trade I mentioned I posted -Trevor stewart #10 and Kody Hamrah #15 for #7 Steven dwyer and unranked Dustin Porter to RD149 . Hamrah is an insurance in case J.P. cannot go and neither of us will use Porter -Rd pcked him up because he always wins the East conference .
Zapp-Last i heard from Nay-accboy- was he was going to Va. to visit relatives -you can check my mail to verify -I just need to know about this last trade . Nothing major .
Zapp-I have a trade worked out -since 8 people voted again -you are going to have to make a decision . Please let me know as soon as you can .
What were you thinking in that three way for Metcalf ????
Gold and I just made a ridiculous trade -RPayton sends Gold --Herbst,Honeycutt,Poeta,Kenedy , and Brown for Metcalf ,Hall,Halsey,Hamrah and Brennar . THAT is a trade .
Thanks for clearing that up-I am pretty sure accboy will make it and i am pretty sure I will as well.Accboy is in a little over his head so I try to lend a helping hand -I AM NOT a nice guy -this board is changing me .arch offered me his whole team but I turned him down as he wants to play next year and it was WRONG -I did trade alot with Arch but if you look at his roster you can see I did not rape him and that he has a top ten guy in nearly every weight -he was screwed when Brandvold redshirted and Arnone got hurt and then he got to where he would not even type in the line ups I made up for him -just for fun play his team -Sanders ,Bell,Russell ,Grajales ,JBB or Saf,Manuel,Canon ,Orozco,Byers and Schaeffer -that is a good line up .
It's the top 6 AFTER conference, plus the top scorer in Conference week who's not already in the playoffs.
Going into conferences the top 6 are blah + blah-what i need to know is it the top 6 going IN to conferences or the top 6 after conferences then the wildcard ? I ask because -off the top of my head accboy should pass mateater after conferences but not sure if he will out score Herkey #1-so is it the point total after conferences or before ?
Zapp- I traded Sentes and Garnett to Accboy for Nickerson and Accordino .

A KADOMA man died after being struck with a hoe handle by an unknown assailant while walking in the company of his pregnant wife. Thomas Katoma (31) of Number 146 Old Ngezi in Kadoma went for a walk with his eight months pregnant wife Faith Mugoni (25) along the Harare-Bulawayo Road at around 2030hrs.
They walked up to Gutavatema Lodge about 2km from their home and on their way back they met a man who was coming from the opposite direction carrying a wooden hoe handle.
Mashonaland West police spokesperson Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara confirmed the incident adding that investigations were still in progress.
"We are investigating a matter in which a man was struck to death with a weapon while walking with his pregnant wife.
"Our investigations are still in progress," he said.
As the two passed the man, he suddenly turned and struck Katoma once on the head with the handle and he fell unconscious.
He turned on the wife and grabbed her by the throat before pushing her to the ground and demanded cash and cellphone. However, she reportedly told him that she did not have either and he force-marched her into a bush where he released her and ordered her not to look back.
She went to nearby Space Bona Bar about 500m away to seek help and three men accompanied her to the scene where Katoma lay unconscious. They took him to Kadoma General Hospital. He, however, died a day later due to severe head injuries he sustained. Police CID, dogs section attended the scene but failed to locate the culprit.
"We would like to urge anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect to approach their nearest police station," he said.

Andrew + Claire forever "Ruth"
A few months ago I shot Andrew + Claire's engagement session and listed them as my first Featured Couple. I wasn't really sure what my surroundings would be, we were shooting in places that I'd never even seen, but I knew that Andrew + Claire were an amazing couple and thought that as long as they were in the picture together it wouldn't matter where we shot because the photos would still be great! I'm not afraid to say that I was right! Great couple + great locations = AMAZING photos! Fast forward to May 22, 2010, I was beyond excited to shoot with Andrew + Claire again. I thought if they were that great for their engagement session that their wedding day would blow me away…and for the third time in my life, I was right! It's beyond obvious that Andrew + Claire are one of those couples that absolutely love each other so much that you really can't take a bad picture of them together! So how do I fit into this beautiful "modelesk" scenario? Almost one year ago I shot for one of Andrew's sisters, Mary Kate Humphrey, at her wedding and met both Andrew + Claire. Mary Kate told me that if Andrew let Claire get away their entire family was going to be mad at him! After spending five minutes with Claire it's easy to see why they were so anxious to make her a Ruth. Andrew happened to think that Claire was pretty great too so he didn't let her get away, instead he married her and got a wife and a great dance partner for life. Without going on for too much longer you have to know that watching Andrew + Claire dance makes me want to dance. Of course I don't have an ounce of the coordination that they do but watching them makes me think that I could. Working with Andrew + Claire has been a beautiful experience for me and I can't thank them enough for choosing to work with me. Here's just a taste of the the 3000+ frames we shot that day.

Volcano and cloud forests conserved in EcuadorJeremy Hance
December 05, 2011
Antisana Volcano. Photo by: Stefan Weigal.
"The contiguous 264,382 acre land purchase around Volcan Antisana represents one of the greatest conservation successes ever in the Andes," said Robert Ridgely, executive director of World Land Trust-US, which helped secure the properties along with local organization Fundación Jocotoco and the Ecuadorian government.
Although the region was declared a reserve in 1993, 80 percent of the land had not been purchased at the time from private land owners. The next 18 years were spent securing private land for protection.
"Due to a long history of intensive grazing, Antisana's ecosystems are significantly degraded, and this affects an important part of the watershed that supplies water to much of Quito. Nonetheless Antisana has outstanding biodiversity values which make it amply worthy of protection," WLT writes in a blog, adding that "tropical Andean cloud forests such as are found at Antisana are considered the world's number one biodiversity priority, due to their species richness, endemism and degree of risk; they harbor multitudes of rare and endangered species. "

No-show by 60 SMRT bus drivers for 2nd day
THE industrial dispute between public transport operator SMRT and its China-sourced bus drivers took a new turn on Tuesday when 60 of them continued to stay away from work.
SMRT confirmed that 60 drivers did not show up for work, "some of whom have valid medical reasons".
Police deployed officers to SMRT's rented dormitory for drivers in Woodlands in the morning. A police spokesman said its men were there to observe the situation; and that no one has been arrested.
He said the number of policemen on the ground is fewer than the 45 deployed on Monday, when 102 mainland Chinese drivers staged a sit-in at the Woodlands dormitory.

Man Fires 50 Rounds In Busy California Mall Parking Lot, Sends Shoppers Into Panic
Police have taken a 42-year-old man into custody after more than 50 shots were fired at a Southern California shopping mall, forcing mass panic and a full lock down.
According to Newport Beach police, multiple shots were fired in the area of a Macy's department store at the Fashion Island mall Saturday around 4:30pm in the upscale affluent coastal community.
Police arrested Sarinana Gurrola on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, said Kathy Lowe, a spokeswoman for the Newport Beach Police Department.
'With what happened in Connecticut, we were freaking out,' Shopper Dena Nassef told the LA Times. 'It was like crazy, people leaving stores.'
More than 50 rounds were allegedly fired by Gurrola who was arrested by officers on bike patrol as he was trying to exit the parking lot in a white Volvo, a Newport Beach Police Department spokesman told the newspaper.
Shoppers flew into a panic, hiding in dressing rooms, inside a movie theater and ran for their cars. One woman was injured in the panic.
A YouTube user posted a terrifying video taken from the parking lot in which repeated shots can be heard.
'I couldn't see who was shooting, but I started to take video in the direction the shots came from while standing behind the car you see in the foreground,' the caption said. 'My video catches the last two clips he shot and I could finally see him when he shot off the last clip.'
Shopper Joe Rubbinaccio told NBC4 he was on the lowest floor of Macy's when he heard shouting.
'I heard somebody yelling,' Rubbinaccio said. 'It sounds like an employee. He was saying, 'Lock the store down!' And he was yelling, 'Don't panic. There's been a shooting," Rubbinaccio said. 'At that point, you kind of freeze. Your heart skips a beat. … You just panic, you don't know what to do.'
Rubbinaccio said he saw many people running, and had heard one person had been injured in the rush to escape.
The incident comes as many across the country were on high alert following the mass shooting Friday at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut that killed 28 people, including 20 children.

Laser guided codes advance single pixel terahertz imagingJune 25th, 2013 in Physics / Optics & Photonics
A new method for single pixel terahertz (THz) imaging developed by Boston College researchers uses a set of instructions delivered by a laser beam to tune THz waves in order to produce new types of THz images. During the imaging method devised by the team, THz waves pass through an object (a); then they strike a silicon semiconductor (b) given specific instructions about how to sample the image; that data is passed along in order to digitally reconstruct an image (c) of the original object in just a few seconds. Credit: Claire M. Watts, Boston College
The universe is awash in terahertz (THz) waves, as harmless as they are abundant. But unlike other regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, THz has proven to be extremely difficult to manipulate in order to capture novel images of objects and materials with which these light waves interact.
Most existing THz imaging devices employ prohibitively expensive technology or require several hours and cumbersome manual controls in order to generate a viable image, according to Boston College Professor of Physics Willie J. Padilla.
Padilla and researchers in his lab recently reported a breakthrough in efforts to create accessible and effective THz imaging. Using both optical and electronic controls, the team developed a single-pixel imaging technique that uses a coded aperture to quickly and efficiently manipulate stubborn THz waves, according to a recent report in the journal Optics Express.
In the so-called terahertz gap, a region of wavelengths that falls between microwave and infrared frequencies, conventional electronic sensors and semiconductor devices are ineffective. Some systems capture only a fraction of a scene and the means to tune these THz waves are inefficient. This has fueled the search for new imaging technologies in order to manipulate THz waves.
Efforts to overcome the challenges of mechanics, cost and image clarity are viewed as a crucial step in efforts to tame the THz gap since imaging and sensing at this frequency holds the potential for advances in areas as divergent as chemical fingerprinting, security imaging of hidden weapons, even real-time skin imaging to promote simple detection of skin cancer.
Central to this challenge is the development of a technology to create efficient masks – similar to the aperture of a camera—capable of tuning THz radiation in order to produce clear images in just a few seconds.
Padilla and graduate students David Shrekenhamer and Claire M. Watts report their new single pixel imaging method centers on what they describe as a "coded aperture multiplex technique" where a laser beam and electronic signals are used to send a set of instructions to a semiconductor so it can guide the reproduction of the image of an object after THz waves have passed through it.
A digital micro-mirror device encodes the laser beam with instructions that direct certain segments of the silicon mask to react and allow a selected sample of the THz waves to pass freely through, consistent with the image pattern. The combination of optical instructions and the reaction of the semiconductor create a THz spatial light modulator, the team reports. Functioning like the aperture of a conventional camera, the modulator then guides the digital reconstruction of the entire image based on a broad sampling of THz waves that have passed through the object.
The team's experiments found the method could produce masks of varying resolutions, ranging from 63 to 1023 pixels and acquire images at speeds up to .5 Hz, or about 2 seconds. The early findings "demonstrate the viability of obtaining real-time and high-fidelity THz images using an optically controlled SLM with a single pixel detector," the team concluded.
Padilla said the findings have spurred additional research by his lab into ways to further control THz waves, such as by using the intricate patterns of an engineered metamaterial to further manipulate terahertz waves to create images faster and with increased efficiency.

Bill Heller looks ahead to Legislative session
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
For the third time in 10 months, state lawmakers today began making major cuts in the budget, which has been shattered by a drop in revenues due to a struggling state economy.
The budget cuts will likely be a stopgap measure. During the regular session that begins in March, there will likely be another round of trims, perhaps as large as $4 billion, to balance the coming year's spending plan.
Last week, Gov. Charlie Crist and Republican legislative leaders said that a source of potential revenue favored by Democrats, raising the stateâs 34 cent tax on a pack of cigarettes, was off the table.
St. Petersburg Democratic Rep. Bill Heller says such an exclusion is unfortunate.
Education, the state's biggest expense that has avoided the most painful cuts, stands to take the biggest hit in the special session. Spending on K-12 faces $360 million in reductions under the governorâs proposal. Republicans argue classroom cuts are unavoidable in the recession.
Heller has worked in higher education for much of his career. He previously worked as vice president and campus executive officer at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg. Heâs currently a professor in the College of Education at the school â and he is extremely critical of plans to cut education funding.
The stateâs budget deficit currently is at $2.3 billion.comments powered by Disqus

I think Phil Bagnall missed a key point. If a person had built a time machine and set it to go one day forward, he would expect to arrive at his position 24 hours later.
The problem is that while our brave inventor travelled through time, the Earth has also spun above its axis, moved several million kilometres around the Sun, and the whole Solar System has also moved in space. So when he popped into existence a day later, he would find himself in the murky void looking at a rapidly departing Earth.

IOWA CITY, IOWA. -- Sarah Dawson scored three goals and Debbie Birrell recorded three assists to propel the University of Iowa field hockey team to Sunday afternoon's 5-0 non-conference victory against the University of New Hampshire at Grant Field.
UNH is now 1-5 while Iowa is 3-4.
The tandem of Dawson and Birrell combined to give the Hawkeyes a 1-0 lead at 9:29 and Dawson's unassisted goal at 21:56 extended the advantage to 2-0.
Iowa held that two-goal lead until 41:06, when Lauren Stiver scored on a penalty corner. Kara Zappone gave the home team a 4-0 lead at 50:07 and Dawson capped the scoring in the 60th minute.
UNH starting goalie Christine Buckley (Walpole, Mass.) surrendered five goals and made 11 saves in 62:00. Margaux Shute (Norridgewock, Maine) neither allowed a goal nor was credited with a save in 8:00 of relief action. Iowa goalkeeper Barb Weinberg stopped three shots.
The Wildcats received strong defensive efforts from Brittany Schneider (Middletown, Md.) and Kate Gedney (Westbrook, Conn.), both of whom recorded two defensive saves.
New Hampshire returns to action Sept. 24 at home vs. Providence. Game time at Memorial Field is 7 p.m.

Senate OKs budget with increases to education, mental health services

(AP Photo/Harry Cabluck)
AUSTIN - The Texas Senate backed a $197 billion state budget measure Saturday that would restore billions cut from education funding two years ago, increase spending for college financial aid and boost spending on mental-health services.
Senate Bill 1 is the centerpiece of a proposed spending plan for the next two years that also encompasses tax relief and a $2 billion investment in water infrastructure. The Texas House has not yet voted on any elements of the package worked out in legislative negotiations, but Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, voiced confidence that it would approve them. That vote can't come before Sunday because the House adjourned Saturday without taking action on the package.
Dismissed critics
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, called it "a very fiscally conservative budget," while dismissing critics who advocate limited government and contend it spends too much.
"One of the things that I would note about some of the most vocal critics from the extreme right - they don't do math very well," Williams said.
The Senate voted 27-4 for the version of SB1 produced in negotiations with the House. Against it were Republican Sens. Brian Birdwell of Granbury, Donna Campbell of New Braunfels, Dan Patrick of Houston and Ken Paxton of McKinney.
"I'd like to have seen more restraint in overall spending," Campbell said. "Any government growth supported by this budget is at the expense of key infrastructure investments such as transportation."
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, voted for the measure, citing in part the partial restoration of $5.4 billion cut from public education two years ago in the face of an inaccurate forecast of a revenue shortfall. SB1 would boost public education by about $4 billion.
"Although we still have not fully restored the public education funding that was cut so severely in the 2011 session, we have made steps in right direction," she said. Van de Putte also said it gives important resources to veterans and their families.
OK'd House bill
The Senate also approved another piece of the budget deal, House Bill 7, which would reduce the state's reliance on funds that are collected for a particular purpose but left unspent in order to help balance the budget.
The bill contains a deal on what had been a sticking point in a budget agreement: Giving electricity–bill refunds from an account initially set up to help needy customers in competitive retail markets.
The deal on that System Benefit Fund would phase out the program so that customers would no longer have to pay the fee. The agreement also would spend about $500 million that has been collected in the fund to give discounts to needy customers of up to 82 percent in affected months.

3 more months (1st anniversary of fx) the fibular plate and tibial screw come out. Ankle is still somewhat larger than right side, but does not swell. Very stiff when I first get out of bed, but once I'm up and moving around I have to think about it to know all is not normal. No limp and I can ride my bicycle without any problem. I'm hoping removal of the hardware with time will result in a reduction of my ankle size to near normal and decreased stiffness in AM.

I broke my leg right above my ankle in 1970 when a drunk hit me while I was stopped at a light, years later I developed arthritis in the ankle, that got to the point where I needed cortisone shots every 3 months, 10 years ago I had my ankle fused, the pain went away after the fusion but I can no longer point my toes down and there is no way to get slip on boots on anymore. I hope you heal better than I did.

I think there's also been huge improvements in orthopedic care and outcomes tend to be better now than 40 years ago. For example, the use of titanium instead of stainless steel has led to better outcomes -- due partly to the lower modulus of elasticity, which closely matches bone (an interesting factoid I learned after my surgery ).

On the 24th of August it will be 2 months from my crash. Im no longer in a scooter. I have switched from cruthes to a cane & I've started walking a little in my walking boot. I have also just started limping around the house with just slippers on, no crutches, cane or scooter. Just my own two feet! Slow, somewhat awkward but... I am walking kinda.
I keep getting warned of arthritis. I am/was very active and just hope that with the PT, pool therapy, range of motion & ARPwave treatment 5 x week we might see favorable results. I have no desire to take the plate/hardware out. Too icky. Surgery and being down for another 3 months... I doubt my checkbook, wife, work could tolerate another blow.
Thanks for your update Eyes Shut. Keep on, keepin on!

Broke my pelvis in three places, 4 upper ribs and left clavice on 4/11. All healed with only occasional problems with the left shoulder. Was walking in 7 weeks and back to work the week after that. Collision avoidance swerve on my '09 FJR on a wet road at 10 - 15 mph. First 5 minutes back on the bike were a bit strange but it has been great ever since.

1 year anniversary
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my accident, and although I have healed just fine, every day I am reminded that I had quite an injury down there. Some days it's just a little ache or pain, some nights when I get into bed my ankle aches enough that I have to get up and take a couple of aspirin, but I can walk normally, take my dogs for a mile or two walk almost daily. I do find I am a little more cautious/tentative in situations that have the potential to twist my ankle.
Regarding riding, I have no problem whatsoever with street riding, have had my GTL out a couple of times for some great tours with no issues whatsoever, compression stockings I have found make a huge difference when long distance touring in end-of-day comfort.
Dirt riding, however, is a different story. I am definitely more tentative. I did go to the Rawhyde Arizona Rally, and the first day of dirt riding I was very nervous and tight riding in a group that I did not now. After about 45 minutes of riding we stopped and took a break, this was on pretty easy fire roads in the mountains south of Flagstaff, and I was almost ready to turn around and head back to camp. I was really questioning myself whether I should be doing that. I got back on the bike and things did start to ease up for me and I got to feeling more comfortable on the bike. The next day did a similar ride, and all was going well until I tried to turn around on a slight slope and the bike got away from me and went over and in getting off I twisted/sprained the opposite knee from the leg I injured. Great. That turned out ok, it wasn't hurt too bad, several days of icing and painkillers brought it around. This really got me to thinking about my abilities to handle a 1200GS. The last ride I took on my GS this summer was over Guanella Pass in the Front Range of Colorado, which is basically paved the whole way, some dirt sections, and we took an off-road trail which went pretty well except for a stream crossing we came to, and I could not bring myself to cross it. It wasn't particularly long or deep, but I just couldn't bring myself to cross that stream for fear of slipping and dropping the bike yet again and hurting something else, or my already compromised ankle. So, the GS sits, I love the bike, love the exploring, but I think my time may be up with it. There is a new Wrangler Rubicon sitting in my driveway which allows my wife to come along with me to enjoy the back country, this will be how I explore in the future. As Harry Callahan played by Clint Eastwood said, "A man's got to know his limitations."

I broke my ankle (trimaellor) fracture on the 6th May this year.
Titanium plate and 9 screws..
I'm walking and jogging - and cycling a fair bit..
Still swells bad by the end of the day, but if I wear my compression socks, its normally fine.
It doesn't really hurt, but it feels different from the other leg - my guess is that it always will, and I'll just get used to it.
They tell me they want to leave the hardware in..its just under the skin on the outside of my ankle, gives a sting if you cross your legs or move your legs wrong in bed..I'll be seeing the doc again in coming months to see if its ok to have out...I'd feel better (even if my leg doesn't) if it wasn't in there..

Wow!! 11 pages+, quite a thread. Wish I had this much info (and sympathy?) when I shattered my ankle years ago.
Early 70's, Kawi 750 Triple, tight decreasing radius turn with huge frost heaves before the apex. And a squid with more balls than ability in the saddle.
Went screaming into this unknown turn and blew it. Too much brake way too late and those big frost heaves in the pavement totally upset the bike,resulting in a big high side get off. Slide several yards across the pavement, off into the weeds where my outstretched right leg met with a good sized boulder in the weeds. Complete arrest of speed, all absorbed by the ankle. Protective gear?? "Shit, we don't need no protective gear...we're young and stupid". Levi's, Levi jacket, tennis shoes. and an early Bell full face helmet, 'bout the only good peice of gear on. Bonked my head a good one, but the helmet did it's job. Lesson learned there.
Net result was a heel cup and ankle shattered in a gazillion pieces. X-rays looked like 3 ice cubes in a baggie thrown at a wall, what a mess!! Reconstructive surgery, 2 screws and 2 casts, 6 months later finally off the crutches. Doctor informed me that the two most complex joints in the body are the ankle and wrists because of the many small bones. Reminded me because of this, said they are the most painful and longest to heal fractures one can endure. He was right, hurt like the dickens.
Recovery similar to the other inmates comments. Ankle swollen like a grapefruit, tender as hell and the better part of 10 years before I could say it was fully healed and pain free. It's one of those things that stays with you for a LONG time.
But, there is an upside to all this. You know the old wive's tale of ability to predict weather, "I can feel it in my bones, it's gonna rain". Yup, I'm more accurate than the talking heads on TV now!!!!

I just read through this entire thread for advice because my husband is now a member of the club. Last Sunday on a trip home from the Texas Hill Country, he had a bad left low side off his bike. Two ambulance rides later (115 miles!) he was in Temple, Tx for surgery to repair two tibia, 1 fibula and an ankle fracture. Unfortunately because of a previous total knee replacement on the same leg, the normal fix of placing a rod down the tibia was not an option. So, 12 screws and two plates later, he's put back together with no weight bearing for 3 months. I feel so bad for him as he broke ribs too so he's having a hell of a time getting around. Each day he is just a little better but the task of recovery from this get off seems rather daunting at this point. I'll get him on the laptop this afternoon so he can read this thread.
He's been riding for 40 years and this is his only crash so we both consider him lucky and know that his injuries could have been worse. He wants to ride again. I'm thankful for that because I ride my own bike too and have way more fun when we are riding together. I'm interested to know if anyone has crashed again after having the plates installed. Specifically, would a subsequent injury to the same leg wind up fracturing the only area of his leg that isn't plated? With a knee implant and both leg bones plated, he only has about a 4 inch area of his tibia, just below his knee implant that doesn't have steel on it. My concern would be that this portion of his leg, in the event of another get off, would break in an instant. Kinda scary.
I'm really glad that I found this thread with all the good info. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences.

I'm so sorry to read of your husband's accident. I have yet to really get back to motorcycling, but please tell your husband that at 62 I had my first motorcycle accident and broke my ankle (plate and screws). I recovered enough after 3 months to start back at some serious bicycle riding only to get involved in a worse accident (compound, comminuted clavicular fracture, 5 broken ribs and a pneumothorax). It has been 7 months now since any broken bones and I'm bicycling 20 miles 3 times/week for the last 3 weeks. I pinch myself that I've been able to return to my normal activities after those 2 accidents. A return to motorcycling will commence soon.

If I crash on my right leg the wrong way it is going to break where they drilled holes in my fibula to run the ligaments. I didn't get plates or screws but it was non load bearing for six months plus another three or four in a walking boot because of the bone work. Then a second scope surgery to clean up soft tissue damage he couldn't get the first time. So that was another three months in a boot waiting on tendons to heal.
So the idea crashing on that ankle is a bit scary. The amount of damage I could do with a smple get off is pretty impressive. What I do is never ride without MX boots plus strap on knee/shin armor. To be honest, I won't even start my kick only 200 unless I am wearing that stuff. My friends have accepted that I am going to armored up from knees down no matter how casual the ride.
So far I have only had one really bad crash since the surgery. I endoed and the bike landed on my left ankle and slid down the trail. It did zero damage to my ankle. My shoulder and butt weren't so lucky. But if I had landed on my bad ankle the boots would have saved me because I literally felt nothing through the boots. Good MX boots are expensive. And I am due for a new pair.
But I figure they are the only thing between me and a broken leg plus fused ankle.

I experienced similar symptoms of heavy throbbing in my leg if left "down" for too much time, swelling (to the extent that at one point my skin just peeled off like a really bad sunburn) along with general stiffness. I returned to get the 2 largest screws out of my ankle but am still carrying the plate and remaining 5 screws today.
FWIW, as it's coming up on roughly 3 years from my break I can say that my general mobility is only slightly, if at all, hindered. Cold/Wet mornings I can sometimes feel a small amount of stiffness but nothing that would be any worse than the feeling of a mildly tight muscle. Hopefully this won't be a downer for you but as far as size goes my ankle has never returned to "normal" size. It's not huge by any means but it's visibly larger than my "good" ankle. I would estimate it to be about 10-20% larger in diameter at the worst spot, people aren't going to notice it if your walking around in shorts and tennis shoes but if you look down at yourself you will be able to tell right away, you may also be able to tell on mx boots as you will have to loosen up one boot a little more. Long story short, I'm by no means a doctor but if it's anything like my experience you will probably slowly shrink over quite a long period but 10-20% larger is where my ankle settled at. The mornings will also slowly go away, or at least you will quit noticing, not sure which for me on that one, lol. Good luck on healing, make sure to try and stay flexible with ankle exercises (especially before bed in the evening when your relaxed).

Broken leg and ankle - One year later
Well, it's been almost exactly a year since I broke my tibia, fibula, and ankle. I'm happy to report that I have recovered quite well. I'm walking and hiking with no perceptible limp, and have essentially no ankle swelling. My knee is a little stiff, and I can feel it more when stepping down (as when hiking downhill), but it's bearable. All my hardware is still in place and I have no plans to remove the hardware.
Two weeks after my accident:
One year later:
That scar on the inside of my leg is where the bones were sticking out. Ick!! It makes me queasy to think about that.
So, how is everyone else in broken ankle/broken leg land? Post up your updates and let us know how you are doing!

Microsoft mulls purchase of Israeli gaming technology company
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On February 19, 2009 @ 1:04 pm In | No Comments
Microsoft mulls purchase of Israeli gaming technology companySoftware giant Microsoft is reportedly in talks to acquire Israeli company, 3DV Systems for $30-40 million.
3DV, which was founded in 1996, has developed video camera technology capable of capturing the depth dimension of objects in real time, enabling it to sense motion and recognize shape within a dynamically defined three-dimensional space.
The company was set up by Rafael Development Corporation (RDC), a joint venture of Elron and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, to commercialize Rafael's missile electro-optic technology patents. It has raised $38 million to date.
It is thought that if the purchase goes through, 3DV's technology could be used to give Microsoft Xbox a stronger punch.
Microsoft Israel currently employs 600 employees at its R7D centers in Haifa and Herzliya.
Elron Electronic Industries, which has a controlling stake in 3DV, declined to comment on reports.

1967 Ford Mustang Fastback - Build Your Own Eleanor
The Real Star Of The Modern Version Of Gone In 60 Seconds Was Eleanor, A Way-Cool '67 Fastback. It's Now Possible To Build One Yourself
Prime MotivationObviously, engine choice is an open book for your Eleanor-several engines including an FRPP 351W crate motor, a 390, and a 428 powered the 12 cars built for the movie. The car shown here makes do with this mild 302 that has cast-iron GT40 heads and a Holley 600 cfm carb. Behind it is a C4 trans. As with engines, transmission choice is also up to you. Although the car in the movie is supposed to be a four-speed manual, most of the 12 cars were automatics since much of the stunt work was easier with a slush box. Were we to build our own Eleanor, we'd opt for a T5 or Tremec five-speed manual gearbox.
Underpinnings Fit For A StarThe Eleanor Mustangs were able to perform on screen as well as they did partly because of a full front coilover suspension conversion as well as the addition of rack-and-pinion steering developed by Total Control Products and available from Mustangs Plus, (800) 999-4289, www.mustangsplus.com. This strut brace setup is part of the coilover front suspension.
Rollin' Rollin'Of course we suppose you could run just about any wheel on an Eleanor clone, but if you want to have that certain star-power look, you have just one choice: These 17x8-inch knockouts from PS Engineering, (310) 534-4477. Our photo subject car was shod with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. You can run any make of tire you'd like, but the right size for Eleanor is 245/40ZR17 at all four corners.
The GutInterior appointments in an Eleanor clone are the lesser of your concerns. You could pretty much go with a clean black cabin, add a LeCarra steering wheel, maybe a set of body-hugging sport seats, and be done with it. Although this car doesn't have them, a set of Total Control aluminum pedal covers were seen in the movie, and are available from Mustangs Plus.

Nintendo Wii Fit Video
Nintendo showed off their new Wii Fit game at E3 and to be honest it doesn't look great. The word that comes to mind is "pedestrian". The following clip doesn't get me excited about Wii Fit at all.
It looks slow and boring, but will probably sell like hot cakes anyway. The new peripheral does look promising for other types of games though. Skateboarding or snowboarding games are the first that come to mind.

Alexander, DC; (2007) Axon radius measurements in vivo from diffusion MRI: A feasibility study. In: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
This paper investigates the feasibility of using diffusion MRI to measure axon-cell dimensions in the white matter of live subjects. A simple geometric model of white-matter tissue provides an expression that relates the axon radius to the diffusion MRI signal. The aim is to determine the accuracy and precision with which we can estimate this potentially important new biomarker. Precision and accuracy depend critically on the acquisition protocol. The paper proposes a general strategy to optimize the experiment design of in-vivo diffusion MRI experiments. The applicability of the design optimization extends well beyond the current work to optimizing the acquisition for any model of the diffusion process. Simulation experiments and results suggest feasibility of measuring larger axon radii in vivo on modern MRI scanners using the optimized acquisition schemes, but that higher gradient strengths are required to measure smaller axons. ©2007 IEEE.
